  Warm-blooded - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Warm bloodedness generally refers to three separate aspects of thermoregulation.
The disadvantage of being warm blooded is that you must always consume large amounts of food energy.
Tuna are able to warm their entire bodies through a heat exchange mechanism called the rete mirabile, which helps keep heat inside the body, and prevents the loss of heat through the fish's gills into the cold water.

A warm front is the boundary between warm and cool, or cold, air when the warm air is replacing the cold air.
Warm fronts often form to the east of low pressure centers, where southerly winds push warm air northward.
Since warm air is lighter and less dense than cold air, the cold air ahead of a warm front at the surface must retreat before warm air can move in.

 Proper Warm Up & Stretching   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In fact, passive warm up techniques may decrease performance by drawing blood to the skin and away from the muscles and may increase injury rates because athletes may feel they can perform at high intensity levels before they are physically ready.
General warm up is much more effective than passive warm up in raising the temperature of the muscles and increasing their elasticity.
Specific warm up allows the temperature of the muscles to increase and also allows for the rehearsal of specific skills to be used in the sport.

 Warm Fronts: warm and more moist conditions
A warm front is the transition zone where a warm air mass is replacing a cold air mass.
The air mass behind a warm front is likely to be warmer and more moist than the one before the front.
Warm air rides up and over the cold air mass, cooling as it rises, producing clouds and precipitation in advance of the surface warm front.

 Precipitation Along a Warm Front: warm moist air overriding colder air
Warm air rides along the front (up and over the cold air mass), cooling as it rises, producing clouds and precipitation in advance of the surface warm front.
Initially, a warm air mass (in yellow) nudges against a colder air mass (in blue) ahead of it, (separated from each other by the warm front).
Because the frontal surface gently slopes up and over the cold air mass ahead of it, the upward motions associated with warm fronts are typically not as strong as the vigorous upward motions that occur ahead of a cold front.

 PsyArt: An Online Journal for the Psychological Study of the Arts.
Drawing on work from cognitive linguistics, this article examines the interlocking conceptual metaphors HARD IS COLD and SOFT IS WARM, showing how they arise out of fundamental patterns that we perceive in the physical world and how they give rise in their turn to certain social preconceptions, especially concerning gender difference.
There is, for instance, an old idea in European culture that the sensibility of warm, southern countries is lucid, whereas that of cold northern lands is somehow murky--one might refer to "lucid Mediterranean writing," as opposed to "miasmic Germanic prose." Appended to this article is a short extract from A Farewell to Arms.
And also, probably more importantly, the linguistic mechanisms that structure that material are unconscious in a cognitive sense--that is to say, we are unaware of their operation, as we are unaware of most of the linguistic mechanisms that operate when we speak our mother tongues.
