Am I/is he/is she/is this/are we normal?
I hope you would be able to answer my message as soon as possible. It is very urgent. I have passed through the site and decided of asking you some questions maybe you could help me. I am an Indian girl. My age is 26 and I never had ever sexual intercourse because it is against our traditions here. A girl is not allowed until she is married. I never ever masturbated using machines or finger. I never ever touched my area down before. I even never knew anything about girls and guys masturbation. Here we are not taught about sex issues. I entered accidentally one of the sex sites and most probably out of curiousity about a new thing, depression, and much free time. I started chatting dirty(no voice) with these guys and I watched some. I never did this before in my whole life really. I noticed that i gave water from under when I chatted dirty or watched a guy and I become very jelly like down there. I really never knew this is masturbation i am really ignorant about that. I did this only about two months but I chatted and masturbated several times in a day.
How long after a girl's first time should they bleed for and how heavy should they bleed?
I could really use some help on this issue. I am a feminist, and pride myself on being open-minded and trying to keep my insecurities in check. I have been with my boyfriend for years, and we have lived together for 2. Within the past few months I have been looking at his computer and seeing that he watches pornography. While I do try to understand why, I cannot help but feel hurt. It brings up issues I have with my own body and makes me feel bad and inadequate. While I am trying to come to grips with this, I have found out that his friend is getting married and they are going on a trip. I know they will be going to strip clubs, and this is making me crazy. He is not the type of guy who would cheat on me or that would probably really enjoy this, but then again I didn't think he was the type to watch porn. I feel like I have become more paranoid knowing about this porn-viewing and now I am not able to see clearly this situation. My main question is, if he gets a lap dance, this is considered cheating, right? It seems like this male tradition that for some reason is okay, and it's just this free pass. Should I talk to him about it? Do I have a right to be upset? I feel so anxious and like I'm losing my grip with him and with my own feminism. Please help me.
I'm 17, male, and have considered myself bisexual for 2 years now. I find myself emotionally attracted to women and sexually attracted to men. I like women in a certain way, I like to be in relationships with them. I see myself having kids, many in fact. But I'm not feeling sexually attracted to them, except for a few but can't find myself to have sex with them. As for men, I like them almost strictly sexually. Even if I didn't enjoy the sex, half the times I couldn't get hard with men, I prefer it and don't feel scared to. But when I try to be with them emotionally, I'm just not that into it. I don't feel like I put any limits on myself, for I have tried.
What does this mean? I won't limit myself to one gender but I'd like to feel for them equally in order to find the right person for me. What do you think? Please help.
I am a 19-year old male, and all the time I hear or read things about females that age or even younger getting into sex, including right here on Scarleteen. But just about every female around my age that I know has little to no interest in sex. What is it that makes these groups of people so different? I'm worried I might not find any partners that are interested in it. I'm not desperate to have sex, or want to base a relationship solely on it, but I do want to have a partner who enjoys it and with whom I can explore sex.
I've been wondering if using birth control is safe? And is there a certain brand of birth control that I can use that will be the best to use?
To shave or not to shave? Rather a drama queen way to ask a question but there it is. My boyfriend wants to have oral sex with me, and I am fine with that, but he is asking if I can shave my hair down there. Now I thought that was a bad idea, because I remember hearing something about the hair being a ventilation system for you and helps prevent infection. However, I would like to do something but what? Trim? Or is shaving really not that bad? What is healthiest?
My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 7 months. We had sex after the 1st month because we felt that special connection with each other. Ever since the first time with him, I keep wanting more. I think I'm addicted to sex with him. That is all I think about constantly. He is the same way but for my sake (he doesn't want to be a father yet, if you get what I mean) he tries to control himself as much as possible. He can't always though. To be safe I've asked him to buy condoms but since we both realized we are doing it too much, he says we aren't going to do it anyway so why have them. Well then he comes over and we wind up doing it without a condom. It was a close call one time where he almost ejaculated inside of me, but pulled it out just in time. Do you have any suggestions on how we can overcome out sex addiction and try and be safer? I'm not allowed to go on the pill and my boyfriend and I have a lot of time to be alone together. We are just teenagers. Thank you for the advice.
Although I feel a little ridiculous asking this considering I should be more openminded towards sexuality and experimentation, I haven't been able to get it out of my mind. I started dating a man 10 months ago. I'm 18, he turned 26 around three weeks ago. He was married before, and she left because of her claiming to have been bored in bed and in general. Since the beginning of our relationship, I stated that I am bisexual and have been as long as I could remember. I asked him about his orientation and he told me that he was straight. No rushed answer, no hysteria. So, I believed him.
Months later--two months ago almost--I mentioned that I had heard that one of his friends had had a gay encounter. He shrugged and told me that he himself had experimented when he was 16, and had sex with another guy from school. He had anal sex, oral sex, and watched straight and transgender porn with the other boy (claiming the transgender porn belonged to the friend). He told me he couldn't kiss the other guy, because he felt repulsed, yet was able to perform oral sex on him.

Portsmouth have completed the signing of promising Danish striker Adda Djeziri after a successful trial.
The 19-year-old spent the first part of the season on loan at Leicester from Boldklubben Frem but failed to break into the first team.
Last year, he played for the Rangers Under-19 side which secured the Scottish Youth Cup and league double but the club decided not to pay the £125,000 to make his stay permanent.
Djeziri has arrived at Fratton Park with Danijel Subotic and the pair featured in the reserves' goalless draw with Chelsea on Monday night.
First team coach Joe Jordan believes both are players for the future.
"We have brought in a couple of promising lads but they are young and not really going to figure in the first team for a good while yet," he said.

A Flower in Egonu
July 10, 2014
Release Date: July 7, 2014 Topics: NAC, Named Craters Date acquired: July 05, 2012 Image Mission Elapsed Time (MET): 249988836 Image ID: 2143790 Instrument: Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) Center Latitude: 67.15° Center Longitude: 61.80° E Resolution: 13 meters/pixel Scale: This image is about 14 km (8.7 miles) across Incidence Angle: 75.6° Emission Angle: 1.3° Phase Angle: 74.3° Of Interest: This image is a high-resolution view of the polar crater Egonu. The 'flower' in the crater is Egonu's central peak. Egonu is named after Uzo Egonu, a Nigerian artist (1931-1996). He was known for crossing the boundary between Western and African painting, as he lived in England for most of his life. This image was acquired as a high-resolution targeted observation. Targeted observations are images of a small area on Mercury's surface at resolutions much higher than the 200-meter/pixel morphology base map. It is not possible to cover all of Mercury's surface at this high resolution, but typically several areas of high scientific interest are imaged in this mode each week. The MESSENGER spacecraft is the first ever to orbit the planet Mercury, and the spacecraft's seven scientific instruments and radio science investigation are unraveling the history and evolution of the Solar System's innermost planet. During the first two years of orbital operations, MESSENGER acquired over 150,000 images and extensive other data sets. MESSENGER is capable of continuing orbital operations until early 2015.

ADO Den Haag have sacked coach Maurice Steijn with the club bottom of the Dutch Eredivisie.
A 3-0 defeat to Heracles Almelo on Tuesday night, ADO's fifth loss in their last six outings, was the final straw.
"ADO Den Haag has taken action to immediately relieve head coach Maurice Steijn," the club said in a statement. The continuing poor results made the departure inevitable. ADO Den Haag deeply regrets having to part with a real club man."
Steijn spent several years at ADO as a youth coach and assistant before stepping up to the head coach's office, and last season guided the club to ninth place.

A long time ago I did some 3D with Poser, but I never did anything useful (PC was also very slow back then).
After a pause of a couple of years, I'm going to try again, but with DS. I've read a lot about the importance of lights, shaders, camera placement,... so I hope I will make my fantasies become reality now.
Here are some of my first renders, mainly playing arround with UE2, shaders and lights.

A&M-CC could host tourney games
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi could be back in the NCAA Tournament mix again.
It's much too early to tell if the Islanders will play in the postseason, but the school could play co-host to the opening two rounds of the women's NCAA Tournament in March 2009 or 2010 at the American Bank Center.
A&M-Corpus Christi athletic director Brian Teter confirmed the school is one of the final 15 candidates to host the opening rounds for either season. The pool of applicants exceeded 30 before the cut to 15.
The school would co-host with the Southland Conference. Teter said he will know by the end of January if the NCAA Tournament will be coming to town.
Starting with 2009, the tournament is switching back to 16 sites to host the first two rounds of the tournament, meaning four teams head to each venue. A move was made in September to increase the number of first- and second-round sites from eight. The reasoning was that more tournament locations can keep schools closer to their home bases and drum up fan support.
Eight opening-round sites have been announced already for 2009, with eight already filled for 2010. That leaves 16 additional spots up for grabs, eight apiece in 2009 and 2010.
The likely choice for Corpus Christi would be 2009, as the closest assigned opening-round sites are Baton Rouge, La. and Lubbock. In 2010, Austin will be a host for the first two rounds, and the proximity could hurt the Islanders' chances.
Sites are chosen based on various factors, including area activities, community involvement, accommodations and any conflicting events in mid-March.
"We have the support from the people in the community, from the Southland," Teter said. "We were encouraged to try for it, and we're among the finalists."
A&M-Corpus Christi previously tried to host either the 2005 or 2006 tournament when Dan Viola was the athletic director. The school made the initial cut but, as the American Bank Center had not hosted a basketball game at that point, the NCAA did not choose Corpus Christi for opening-round contests.
Should a new bid succeed, it could make for an exceptionally busy start to 2009 for the A&M-Corpus Christi athletic staff. The school also will host the Southland tennis tournament and the conference baseball tournament.
The Southland also has not made a decision on its basketball tournament beyond this season. If a move is made to a pre-determined campus-area site, Corpus Christi should figure prominently in that mix as well.

The combination of crispy pastry, creamy goat's cheese and bright Mediterranean vegetables makes a gorgeous summer dish. Serve straight from the oven or cold for parties, picnics or lunches.
Line a tart tin with pastry and prick. Rest in the fridge for at least half an hour.

Problems starting for Brazil World Cup
A poll by the Pew Research Center released last week found 61 percent of residents think hosting the World Cup is bad for Brazil. Sixty-seven percent say the economy is in bad shape, a year after 59 percent thought it was OK.
"The biggest heist in the history of Brazil," said Romario, the star of the Brazil team that won the 1994 World Cup in the United States.
"There was huge damage to our reputation," Rio de Janeiro mayor Eduardo Paes said recently. "When you don't have everything ready, that is big damage."
The problems began shortly after FIFA, soccer's international governing body, awarded the 32-team tournament to Brazil seven years ago. Two things happened.
First, Brazil balked at FIFA's suggestion of using only eight stadiums, instead insisting on 12 spread across a country only slightly smaller than the United States with an air network of dubious efficiency. Then Brazil's economy plummeted, from an annual growth of 6 percent to below zero within two years.
"We are a continental country, we are very big," Paes admitted. "We made a mistake. We should have fewer cities hosting the World Cup than we have."
They built four stadiums in cities that won't have first-division soccer tenants after the Cup, including one in Manaus, deep in the Amazon rain forest accessible by air or a five-day ferry from the coast where most passengers sleep on deck in hammocks. Visitors are advised to have yellow fever vaccinations and take malaria pills.
The Estadio Nacional in Brasilia was supposed to cost $300 million … and cost $900 million, ranking it among the most expensive stadiums in the world. There's no team to play there after the tournament, either.
Only five of 35 rail projects were completed, and half the proposed infrastructure upgrades in Natal reportedly weren't even started (although the new airport finally opened June 1 after numerous delays). The airport planned for Fortaleza has been pushed back to 2017.
On Wednesday came word that FIFA officials deem seven of the 12 playing surfaces "not in ideal condition," with images of dead grass and strips of uneven sod.
Better news came later in the day, when Sao Paulo subway workers voted against striking during the opening match at a stadium predominantly serviced by rail. But at roughly the same time, airport workers at Rio's two main airports said they'd go on strike at midnight seeking a 5-percent pay raise. On Thursday, bus drivers in Natal are expected to walk out; they want a 15-percent hike.
Jerome Valke, FIFA's secretary general, insisted that "we have done all we need in order to ensure that that the World Cup will start on the 12th of June." Cynics noted that he said nothing about it finishing.
"It is not going to be a perfect World Cup," U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. "Everybody kind of has a sense that things won't be finished and other infrastructure issues. But it is going to be an extreme type of World Cup. You have got to be prepared that you are not getting everything laid out on a nice table.
"It is going to be exciting. Brazil works differently. It is a total different extreme. It is a different country."
Brazilians shrug and explain that life is too short to fret over subway strikes and flooded airport terminals. You exhale, smile and wade through the puddles. Paciencia, meu amigo.
Mexico captain Rafael Marquez appeared to adopt that mentality earlier this week when the team bus wouldn't start on the way to practice. Marquez tweeted a selfie with his teammates jammed into a taxi with the message: "We shrank the bus. Hahahahaha."

This good-looking fanless hybrid works as a slim Windows tablet or an ultra-portable laptop, but still suffers from the same awkward marriage of base and screen as many hybrids.
One minute the Asus Transformer Book T300 is a Windows 8 laptop, but the next minute it's a Windows 8 tablet.
Pricing not available
Another ambitious Windows 8 laptop from Asus, the Transformer Book can transform into a Core i7 slate.
Though it isn't as thin or as sturdy, the Asus Transformer Pad TF300 delivers Prime levels of performance at a more affordable price.
A great design, fast shooting, and lots of features can't overcome the fact that the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T300 simply doesn't take very good pictures.
If you don't need all the bells and whistles that come with the OneTouch III Turbo Edition, the basic OneTouch III hard drive is a promising choice. The functional design, the software bundle, and the 7,200rpm hard drive make for a good basic external drive.

WICHITA, Kan.- The Wichita State women's basketball team fell to St. Joseph's, 81-73, in overtime Friday evening at Charles Koch Arena in the consolation round of the WNIT.
Alex Harden led all Shockers with 15 points and nine rebounds. Michelle Price added 14 points for Wichita State, shooting 6-for-10 from the field and Jamillah Bonner scored 12 points in the game.
The two teams traded buckets early on until an Alex Harden 2-point jumper and a Michaela Dapprich 3-pointer gave the Shockers a 10-4 lead at the 12:55 mark in the first half.
The Hawks fought their way back into the game, eventually tying the score at 16 with 7:52 remaining in the first 20 minutes. A Valerierose Agnello free-throw line jumper sparked a 9-2 run over the last three-plus minutes of the half. Michelle Price's layup with nine seconds to go gave Wichita State a 30-23 lead at the break.
The Shockers shot 12-for-26 (.462) from the field, while holding St. Joseph's to 9-for-23 (.391) shooting in the first half. Alex Harden led the way for Wichita State with nine points, five rebounds and four assists.
Price scored the first four points of the second half for Wichita State, stretching the Shocker lead to 34-23 with 17:54 remaining in the contest. Three minutes later, a Kelsey Jacobs steal and layup in transition forced a Hawk timeout and put the Shocker lead at 40-27. Price struck again with a three-point play at the 12:29 mark to give the Shockers a 47-31 lead.
After St. Joseph's Ciara Andrews picked-off a Shocker pass, Natasha Cloud hit a jumper that cut the Wichita State lead to 49-40. Then, after the Hawks had cut the lead down to five, Alie Decker hit her first shot of the game, a 3-pointer that put Wichita State back up eight, 55-47, with 6:58 remaining in the game.
One minute later, Decker was fouled on a 3-point attempt, and she drained all three free throws to put Wichita State up 60-50.
The Hawks went on a 10-3 run to put the score at the 1:27 mark, but Jamillah Bonner hit two free throws to put the Shockers up 65-60, and then kept the Hawks at bay with a jumper in the paint to make the score 67-63 Wichita State. St. Joseph's then forced overtime, going on a 6-0 run over the last 24 seconds, including a layup that tied the game at 69 with two seconds left in regulation.
Marissa Preston hit a three-pointer at the 3:12 mark to take the lead back, 73-71 but St. Joseph's took it right back with a pair of free throws and a steal and layup to make the score, 75-73. The Hawks would finish overtime with a 10-0 run to put the Shockers away, 81-73.
Wichita State shot 43 percent (23-for-53) from the field and forced 18 St. Joseph's turnovers.
The Shockers are next in action when they travel to Manhattan, Kan., for a matchup with the Kansas State Wildcats Wed., Nov. 20. Tip-off is slated for 7 p.m.

Ajit Pawar, the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra addresed NCP workers during a meeting held at Thergaon which was specially held for the Maval office bearers and party.
Pawar admitted that the NCP is aware that it's party president Sharad Pawar cannot become the Prime Minister of India in the coming elections."Only a few parties can achieve the magic figure for the that," He said. NCP state unit president Bhaskar Jadhav was also present that this meet along with prominent leaders including aspirants for Maval; Sanjog Waghere, Yogesh Behl, MLAs Vilas Lande, Anna Bansode, Mangala Kadam, Khandge among others.
By pointing it out that gone are the days of one-party Governments, Pawar insisted, "Jailalitha, Mamata Banerjee, Chandrababu Naidu, Mayawati and Nitish Kumar have harnessed the coalition government for progress of their states by threatening to withdraw the support of the Government at the Center. For this you need strength and we have to elect as many NCP MPs as possible to strengthen Pawar Saheb in Delhi "
Referring to a speaker Magala Kadam who earlier had expressed the wish that Sharad Pawar would become Prime Minister, Ajit Pawar request all the party workers with folded hands to refrain from making any comment in this regard especially one that links his name to elections. He said, "Sharad Pawar is not contesting Lok Sabha elections as he is 74 year old now and has contributed for the progress of the country by making it food-sufficient."

Water tank life, water tank replacement.
This article explains how long a water tank is expected to last (it varies) and we describe how to decide when a water tank needs to be replaced - advice about what to do when things go wrong, such as finding air and water leaks and the process of deciding to replace a water pressure or water storage tank.
We also discuss where to put the water tank in relation to the pump and pump control switch.
Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved.
WHEN TO REPLACE WATER TANKS - When do you need a new water tank?
How Long Does a Water Tank Last?
The life expectancy of a water storage tank or water pressure tank depends on at least these variables:
When an older type (non-captive-air) tank needs replacement (for example because it has rusted through and has perforations leaking water or air, or if adding air frequently becomes a hassle, you'll want the newer type of "captive air" or "bladder" tank.
If your tank looks like it has leprosy, if you see water streaming down its side from a "pinhole" leak, it may be possible to make a temporary emergency repair using a rubber washer and screw.
Your hardware store sells special screws for this purpose. This is only a stopgap measure. You need a new tank.
Various types of tanks uses in and around buildings are identified and explained below, including water pressure tanks, water storage tanks, range boilers for hot water, indirect fired hot water tanks, expansion tanks in attics, basements, and on heating boilers, oil storage tanks, rooftop tanks, cisterns, water pressure booster systems. We also discuss when to replace water tanks.
Table of Water Storage Tank Materials, Life, Warranty Period
[in process, suggestions welcome]
Steel Water Tank Rust Perforation & Emergency Tank Repairs
This steel water storage tank is leaking. When you see damage like this on a water tank, the perforation has rusted through from inside the tank. A tank that looks like this needs to be replaced.
Watch out: don't poke at rust like this on a water tank - you are likely to change a slow seep or drip into an immediate catastrophe - the steel around the site of rust perforation is usually quite thin. You still need to replace the water tank but this approach can stop or slow a leak while you wait for the new tank to be installed.
If the rust perforation on a steel, bladderless water pressure tank is very tiny, 1/8" or so, temporary repair can sometimes be made using a special short lag-type threaded screw with a neoprene washer. Leak repair screws are sold for this use.
Details of this rusted leaky water tank leak repair procedure are
Where to Locate the Replacement Water Pressure Tank
Locate the pressure tank as close as practical to the pump pressure control switch. If the water pressure tank located too far from the pressure control switch, or at a different elevation from the pressure switch, the pressure switch control may not operate properly.
Amtrol™ is quite clear about the proper water pressure tank location:
Water pressure tanks will work rather well if placed located almost anywhere on the piping system on the same level as the pressure control switch.
Water Pressure Control Switch Contact Bounce & Short Cycling Water Pumps
But it's best to follow the Amtrol advice - keep the water tank and pressure switch close together. Incorrect water pressure tank location, too far from the pressure control switch for example, can cause improper pressure control operation or pressure control switch contact "bouncing" turning the water pump on and off too rapidly.
If you have a problem such as the pump pressure control switch bouncing (the switch turning the pump on and off rapidly at the start or end of a pumping cycle) you can relocate the pressure switch to the new larger tank and run a longer wire to the pump or pump control relay.
Other causes of pressure switch bounce and well pump short cycling are explained at WATER PUMP SHORT CYCLING CAUSES.
Our photo (above) shows a water tank located correctly in that the pressure control switch (that gray box between the blue water tank and the green treatment tank) is close to the water tank.
The owners located this water pressure tank in a closet and insulated the closet walls with fiberglass. The result was condensation that soaked the fiberglass, leading to a local mold contamination problem.
Our photo at above left is another illustration of a leaky water pressure tank that is beyond repair.

Best games of '07: King vs. G-P
Monday, Aug. 4 is the first day high school teams can start football practice for the 2008 season. From Aug. 4-23 we will run the top 20 high school football regular season games of 2007. On Sunday, Aug. 24 our high school football preview section will run in the Caller-Times. On Caller.com that day, you can begin to vote for the best game of the year. Voting will continue until noon before the kickoff of the 2008 season on Thursday, Aug. 28.
This will be the first of many opportunities you will have to vote for Caller.com awards. Each week of the regular season, we will give you the opportunity to select the Caller.com offensive and defensive players of the week. Voting ends each Thursday at noon and once a player wins, he is ineligible to win that award again.
So here is a look at our first game of the year:
For three straight seasons, Gregory-Portland and King have started a day ahead of the rest of the Coastal Bend and G-P has been 1-0 after each game.
So when the Wildcats scored 20 points in three minutes of the second quarter to take a 20-6 lead, it looked like business as usual.
But something odd happened on the way to the G-P victory, the Wildcats' offense stopped scoring and the King offense started to control the clock. The end result was a 28-20 win for King that seemed it would catapult the Mustangs to big things in 2007.

When I was 24 I became pregnant and was terribly stressed out for I was in a horrible situation. I couldn't really eat, sleep was just constantly stressed at all times... I ended up losing my baby at 12 weeks from it.posted 02/24/2013 by a BabyCenter Member

I have my BS in Psychology and it in fact does have negative effects on your developing baby. I am actually living proof of this. My mother and father argued, terrible, horrible arguments all of my life. I was not subjected to it often outside of the womb, but while in the womb, I certainly was! From birth I have always struggled with emotional problems. I was hospitalized with depression when I was only 9 years old because I wanted to die. I have continued to struggle with suicidal tendencies all of my life, debilitating depression, and sever anxiety. It is so important to me to do all I can to change the cycle and steer clear of stressful circumstances during my own pregnancy. I am pregnant with my first biological child. It was easy over the first trimester, which is very good, considering all of the development that occurs in that time. It has become more and more challenging due to life issues I have no control over. Sometimes all you can do is exit the situation and prayposted 11/06/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Although Im sure stress can have some effect on the baby, what people refer to when they say stress can seriously harm a developing fetus is probably much more serious than weekly screaming matches with your hubby or mother or whoever is driving you crazy. Remember, there are women who have had babies during times of war, homelessness, domestic violence, and much more stressful situations.posted 07/06/2012 by FirstTimeMom1218
i m currently 16 week and had a lot of fighting with my husband recently....i m worried if it will affect my pregnancy...we had ultrasound and triple marker test...it shows the fetus growth has been normal....but still worried and had been booked for the anamoly scan at 18 week....i m still worried....any comments please share???posted 06/16/2012 by mum future
Thank you for the messages. It was very helpfull for me. As a psychologist and many years of experiece, I have seen stress being related to the development of human being therefore part of who we are. Related to formation of our body, mind and spirit. However I agree that worry about the topic can cause + stress. Therefore I believe being aware and do the best we can to offer peace and relaxing moments to the baby and to ourselves can be the best option during and after pregnancy. P.s I am 6 month pregnant of a baby boy, and I had arguments with my partner in the 3 month of my pregnancy, I try compensate now ofering and receiving love from 3 of us now.posted 05/04/2012 by mentesaudavelbrasil

Stress can cause miscarriages early on. Late pregnancy stress can induce preterm labor. I suffered through terrible stress and depression and my DD was full term. I had threatened preterm labor that had to be stopped at 29 weeks due to stress. Be careful and try to relax when you get the opportunity.posted 09/21/2011 by smithsn11

the only tip is to apply to a lot of scholarships
ADP students are not eligible for any grants of scholarships offered to day students and i feel this is unfair. Albertus aught to do more to include ADP students in these opportunities, or cultivate more opportunities expressly for ADP students, many of whom have unique financial obligations outside of school that traditional students don't yet have (mortgages, families, etc.)
My parents aren't helping me with college at all. I fell in love with the campus at Albertus and wanted to go there SO BADLY! While it is a really expensive school, the financial aid makes it manageable for me since I'm paying by myself.
Things could run smoother in the office but over all, they always find ways to help me receive more money. It is a process but the end result is always good.
The financial aide department was very helpful and was excellent at communicating any needs I had to attain to. They were very helpful with offering suggestions on different scholarships and loans to apply for as well.

LANDOVER, Md. -- With mere minutes left in New Orleans' game against Washington on Sunday, Redskins fans were thrusting Saints fans go-to cheer back in their face.
'Who dat!' shouted backers of the team from the nation's capitol.
Less than 10 minutes later, they were shouting no more.
And the Who Dats in Washington, D.C.?
Oh, they were going crazy.
Washington's Shaun Suisham missed a 23-yard field goal; Drew Brees led a 33-second, 80-yard game-tying drive; New Orleans came up with a huge caused fumble and recovery in overtime; and Garrett Hartley made a game-winning 18-yard field goal to give New Orleans a 33-30 win over the Redskins.
A team of destiny?
You better believe it.
'Him missing that field goal - y'all call that what you want,' Saints safety Darren Sharper said. '... It was meant to be. The little voodoo dolls they've got back in New Orleans, they might have done a little tinkering or something like that. But whatever they did, it worked out.'
Despite New Orleans Head Coach Sean Payton proclaiming after the game he doesn't believe in destiny, there's no way to think otherwise.
There's no way not to believe in destiny after watching the Saints pull another seemingly impossible win out of its back pocket (the 21-point comeback at Miami being another).
New Orleans was on its heels all game. The Redskins - and much-maligned quarterback Jason Campbell, specifically - had the Saints' number. Washington was moving the ball at ease.
But when the chips were on the table, New Orleans cashed them in again.
How else to explain Chris McAlister, who was on his couch just a few weeks ago, coming up with a caused fumble and then a recovery in overtime, setting up Hartley's game-winning field goal?
How else to explain Suisham missing a field goal all but a few high school kickers can't help but make?
How else to explain the Saints gaining 29 yards when a Thomas Morstead punt hit off the back of a Redskins player and Usama Young recovering?
Or how six plays later, Drew Brees was intercepted only to have Robert Meachem force a fumble, recover it and take into the end zone for a touchdown?
'I don't know about the voodoo, but I definitely believe in destiny,' Brees said. 'I believe in karma and what goes around comes around. We've been on the other side of this deal, probably too many times. Maybe it's our time that we start catching some of the breaks and start being the team that wins them like this in the end.'
Sharper believes in destiny, but he also believes you make your own destiny.
That can explain a lot about Sunday's game, but that come close to explaining Suisham's miss, which would have put the Redskins ahead by 10 points with 1:56 to play and all but put the game out of reach.
There's no other way to explain the Saints' season other than destiny.

The rupee was trading marginally strong by 5 paise at 62.45 against the dollar at 4.30 p.m. local time.
The rupee strengthened by 23 paise to 62.27 per dollar in the opening trade against the previous close of 62.50 to a dollar after the Reserve Bank of India unexpectedly raised the interest rates to bring down consumer inflation.
The RBI hiked its repo rate, the interest rate at which it lends short-term funds to banks, by 0.25 per cent to 8 per cent.
According to a dealer with a public sector bank, the repo rate hike by RBI was a measure to keep the rupee volatility under check as higher rates can make the currency more attractive for foreign investors.
However, Abhishek Goenka, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of India Forex Advisors, said that the rupee is likely to turn weak amid the Federal Open Market Committee meet where the Federal Reserve is expected to taper the QE by $10 billion.
The inter-bank call money rate, the rate at which banks borrow short-term money from each other, opened flat at 8.30 per cent. Yield on the benchmark 8.83 per cent government bond maturing in 2023 softened to 8.73 per cent from the previous close of 8.74 per cent. Prices rose to ₹100.58 from ₹100.50.

Parameterized Verification of Multithreaded Software Libraries
- Thomas Ball,
- Sagar Chaki,
- Sriram K. Rajamani
- … show all 3 hide
The growing popularity of multi-threading has led to a great number of software libraries that support access by multiple threads. We present Local/Global Finite State Machines (LGFSMs) as a model for a certain class of multithreaded libraries. We have developed a tool called Beacon that does parameterized model checking of LGFSMs. We demonstrate the expressiveness of LGFSMs as models, and the effectiveness of Beacon as a model checking tool by (1) modeling a multithreaded memory manager Rockall developed at Microsoft Research as an LGFSM, and (2) using Beacon to check a critical safety property of Rockall.

Russian defence minister is first senior official to visit Crimea after annexation
Published on Mar 24, 2014 7:53 PM
MOSCOW (AFP) - Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu on Monday inspected troops and military facilities in Crimea, the first senior Russian official to travel to the Black Sea peninsula since Moscow absorbed the region into its territory, state television said.
Mr Shoigu, one of the closest allies of President Vladimir Putin in the Russian cabinet, inspected the Russian Black Sea Fleet based in the port of Sevastopol and also met Crimea's pro-Moscow prime minister Sergei Aksyonov.
The minister is by far the most important Russian official to visit Crimea since Moscow declared the region part of Russia, in defiance of the stance of the international community that it will always be part of Ukraine.
State television showed Mr Shoigu meeting Russian military forces in Crimea and also with former members of the Ukrainian armed forces who have elected to serve for Russia now that the peninsula is under Russian control.
