Can anyone with a knowledge of steam locomotives tell me what’s going on in this video?

Here it is:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkG81KrQ3aQ

I know they are test firing it, but what exactly are they doing? is it something to do with the throttle? Safety valve?
Thank you! I appreciate it! Some day…some day I hope to own my own.

(WWE) How is this for a rivalry on ECW: The Hart Dynasty vs The Burchills and DJ Gabriel?

I love the Hart Dynasty, their like, bada**es. But for being 3 of them, theyre only usually in singles matches, except for Natalya.

Katie Lea hasnt been in the ring since the draft, and neither has Natalya or DJ Gabriel (ever since Alicia left i think.)

And, since The Burchills are from England, and DJ Gabriel is from the UK, i think they would make a perfect team. Especially against the Hart Dynasty!

ECW has been pretty bland lately, and they need a steaming rivalry to heat things up! Itll be like, their fighting to be the most dominant faction on ECW. What do you guys think?
TEAM CANADA VS TEAM EUROPE, THANK YOU Victoria + Natalya = BFF

thats what i was gunning for, but i didnt quite get it on the bullseye, but you got it for me! lol

what is this? possibly a steam engine piece?

I found this strange, seemingly cast iron ball by the train tracks near my house.it is about 2 1/2″ wide and appears to have been broken off at the top.
I think it is a piece from an old steam engine as it say “double acting” on the side.
here is a link to the picture, any idea what this might be?

Will I lose weight like this?

Today I’ve had 3 bowls of Special K strawberries and chocolate cereal, which is approximately 400kcal and 2.7g fat altogether. I then had a plate of steamed vegetables (carrots, green beans, broccoli and sweetcorn) for dinner and I’m not having anything else for the rest of the day. I’ve had quite a lot of iced water today and 5 cups of green tea.
I know 3 bowls of cereal was way too much but I was hungry. :S
Apart from the fact I ate too much today, if I removed one of those bowls of cereal and did more exercise, should I be able to lose weight? I’m 14, 5’5 and 8 st 4 (116 lbs). I’m a UK size 8-10 (US 4-6). :( I want to be about 95 lbs or so, and I’d kill to be a UK size 4 (US size 0).

When I get cravings for chocolate/cookies etc, I sometimes chew the food, then spit it out because it satisfies my cravings but I don’t take in the calories and fat. Do you have any other tips for not letting my unhealthy cravings take over?

And also, what are some good exercises I can do that tone my body and burn lots of calories? Is walking good?

Thanks so much. :)
I’ll pass, Jos, I’m not a big fan of cheese. :) It’s very fattening, and I’m sure looking good is a much better feeling than having a full, bloated belly.

Islam what could this vision means ( serious answers only)?

Okay i was in my english class siting at the front. We had a sub so everyone wad being naughty and not listening. I was sat on my own and to be honest wasnt doing much work. I was bored, sat there chewing my biro till near the end of the lesson. I decided for sum reason to look through my birow and i suddenly then saw on the wall moving triangles in tge coulour of ver dark sand/ red resembling pyramids or maybe they were pyramids I saw a blue sky and tgere were what looked like white mountains ( snow) on top of the pyramids and there was at there very top a long straight cloud of steam that covered it all and then it went black tgen white then black. The image was about the size of an a4 piece of paper and was like a projection. It was moving like it was never ending only sometimes there were no white mountains. I must have looked at it for about a minute and a half and knew nobody else could see it. Btw it was all like paint it wasnt a real life image but it just came and went . Please im realy confused any possibilities as to what this is??? Im 15 year old muslim from uk.

Is this Laptop good enough for gaming?

I’ve been looking for ages for a laptop with 4gb ram and 500gb hard drive and when i clicked on eBay I saw this one – http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270701054355&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en#ht_2070wt_905

Would it be good for Gaming on Steam playing games such as TF2, Battlefield 3 (When it comes out), CoD4, etc.

I dont have a clue about specs or anything so any advice would be welcomed.

Thanks

Why is my Internet connect very slow this past 3 days?

My internet connection has been very slow this past few days and I have no idea why.
I play Steam – Garry’s Mod as well which is a gaming program and has been running VERY slow.

I have WIRED connection with Sky Broadband.
I recently upgraded to Windows 7 and installed Avast Anti virus.
I have done a full scan with Avast and no threats were found. I also have been installing numerous files and programs as I said I recentley upgraded to windows 7.
I have done a speed test, Not at speedtest.net as it does not work for me for some reason…
I used http://www.broadbandspeedchecker.co.uk/ and my download speed was 80kbps with a upload speed of 384kps

If you need any more information leave a message and check up on the question as i will update :)

I am in desperate need of help!
