Toughness, often expressed as the Modulus of Toughness, is measured in units of joules per cubic meter (J/m en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Tough   (112 words)

Tough Jews: Hanukkah, Heroism and the Identity of the Messiah - Jews for Jesus Call it toughness, call it guts, call it chutzpah—whatever term is chosen, it's a quality that we as Jewish people have grown to appreciate, especially around Hanukkah. This veneration of the "tough Jew" continued throughout the centuries up until the rise of Zionism and a "tough" state of Israel reborn in the shadow of the Holocaust. Some posit that focusing so much on our "toughness" ultimately will be detrimental to the Jewish soul as this desire to be tough is, in actuality, the same old desire our people have long struggled with: to be like everyone else. www.jewsforjesus.org /publications/issues/15_8/toughjews   (2656 words)

NESC1098: TOUGH, Unsaturated Groundwater Transport and Heat Transport Simulation TOUGH (Transport of Unsaturated Groundwater and Heat) is a multi-dimensional numerical model for simulating the coupled transport of water, vapor, air, and heat in porous and fractured media. TOUGH does not perform stress calculations for the solid skeleton, but does allow for porosity changes in response to changes in pore pressure (compressibility) and temperature (expansivity). The formulation of the TOUGH governing equations is analogous to the multi-phase treatment customarily used in geothermal reservoir simulators, such as SHAFT79 (NESC 893). www.nea.fr /abs/html/nesc1098.html   (993 words)

archae: "Marines ain't so tough..." If he thinks so, it is not my place to tell him different. Even though, technicly, a cripple takes away two soldiers, for one cripple must be cared for by at least one man, so two people from one household cannot fight. So, facing the religious fantics the US is today, one could imagine they'd consider such a strategy. archae.livejournal.com /57353.html   (1145 words)

Last check: 2007-10-23) Tough Guise is the first educational video geared toward college and high school students to systematically examine the relationship between pop-cultural imagery and the social construction of masculine identities in the U.S. at the dawn of the 21st century.

Tough Trucks for Mobile Review - Mobile Tough Trucks Review Tough Trucks' visuals would be more at home on an Atari 5200 than on our Sony Ericsson S710, so it's tough to even discern what aspect of pickup hardiness the game is trying to depict. The toughest part of Tough Trucks is guessing in which direction your truck is moving. Tough Truck's sound is probably its best element, which is to say that it's not as mind-bendingly awful as the rest of the game. gamespot.com /mobile/driving/toughtrucks/review.html?...&subj=6130637   (675 words)

What's so tough about shooting basketball? - Digital Photography News, Reviews & Forum So I wrote to the local high school principal and AD and obtained permission to shoot for fun, provided I didn't sell anything. Is that these were profiled Adobe RGB, so they were a bit off color-wise when I saved out for the web. Another thing that bothers me in a 20D/1D comparision in a shooting enviroment as such -- is that the focal multiplier bugs me. On close action, I shoot with both eyes open and at 70mm, it's annoying on a 20D and not very noticeable on the 1D the difference in distance from eye to eye.. www.dphoto.us /forum/showthread.php?t=4793   (1427 words)

A Dad's tough day! I'm just not looking forward to the prep for the upper GI series as it's not the most enjoyable experience in the world but it's what is needed to be done. I then went back for a CT scan of my Kidneys and that was not so bad as I didn't need any contrast agents and the whole thing took a few minutes. I've written about most of these in different posts in the archives and I've got my E-mail address on the right side and don't mind posting answers as it can be a bit unnerving walking into these exams and not quite knowing what you'll find. dadstoughday.blogspot.com   (1758 words)

Imagethief : Official: Chinese not so tough to learn Imagethief was dismayed to learn from Chinese state news service Xinhua that Chinese is not, after all, such a tough language to learn. So you can understand 90% of the article, and you know what happened, but you don't know who it was done to, or who did it, or where it was done. And a lot of compound word formation - so, once you know just a few hundred or so of the most common words, you're in a strong position to guess a few thousand others..... news.imagethief.com /blogs/china/archive/2006/05/26/6725.aspx   (1437 words)

Amazon.com: So Tough: Music: Saint Etienne   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) consequently, 'so tough' is a difficult record to digest upon initial listens. 'so tough,' in all its technological weirdness and pastoral beauty, is perhaps the defining record of the pre-britpop explosion of 1993.

Amazon.com: Tough Boris: Books: Mem Fox,Kathryn Brown   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) Death is treated matter-of-factly with no philosophical overtones (you fill in the blanks when they ask, "why did the parrot die", or "what happened when the parrot died?") and children identify with Boris about their self-concepts and reactions to conflict and fears in their life. In the end, Boris teaches children that it's okay to be a nice guy and still be tough, and that it's okay to be sad and cry sometimes. This book was so much better for her than books that attempt to help children understand death and deal with the subject more directly, and it didn't insult the intelligence and insight that she and all young children have. www.amazon.com /Tough-Boris-Mem-Fox/dp/0152896120   (1488 words)

Tough Times : Tough Times Demand Tough Talk! So some folks in Oz want to build a really big tower, to point mirrors at, to heat air, to drive turbines, in an effort to generate electricity. Tough Times thinks that it is important for Republicans to do the right thing in this case, and put someone else in charge of the Senate majority.

So Tough It Hurts By the summer of 2004, Henry's depression had become so deep that relatives in his hometown of Pittsburgh, fearing he might take his own life, convinced him to move back home. This pattern is so common that it's even got an unofficial nickname among those who treat it: "depression without sadness." Experts in the phenomenon are not yet sure if victims truly don't feel sad—or if they simply lack the insight to articulate their feelings. I felt so worthless and guilty, I didn't think I deserved to be consuming oxygen on the planet anymore. www.aarpmagazine.org /health/depression_in_men.html   (2427 words)

GameSpy: Tony Tough and the Night of the Roasted Moths Review His idea that it has to do with aliens trying to take over the world has made him less than popular with the rest of the private detectives, but when his purple tapir Pantagruel, which he refers to as a dog, is kidnapped, Tony is sure he's on the right track. Another problem with the menu interface is that all of your saves are still shots with no chance to input a title or other means of separating one from the other. They're not time-stamped either, so if you don't specifically remember which was your last save, good luck trying to figure it out. pc.gamespy.com /pc/tony-tough-and-the-night-of-the-roasted-moths/498514p1.html   (714 words)

www.myspace.com/thetoughandlovely Now Wave Magazine, September 20, 2004 Review by Mark Hughson----- A good band becomes a great band when they have a front woman with style and presence, making you stop whatever you are doing and pay attention. She has such force and veracity but also complete control; it was like these songs were written just for her and no one else. The rhythm section is tough as nails and (fittingly) pounds out the back beat like a hammer, supplying lots of movement, depth, and (wahoo!) cool backing vocals. www.toughandlovely.com   (882 words)

Tough Guys In the pantheon of celluloid tough guys, three have defined their various eras with a unique style that was largely imitated, but rarely captured, by numerous followers. These are Kirk Douglas, whose dimpled-chin terseness defined the hard-boiled detective films of the 1940s and 1950s; James Cagney, the volatile gangster whose "Top of the World, Ma!" moment has gone down in Hollywood history; and of course, John Wayne, "the Duke," who defined the American cowboy in countless classic Westerns.
