Which would you rather do, long gradual climb or short steep climb? Not sure which I would choose. Went on 4.5 mile ride with Mr. Hill-Pumper on Sunday on rode bike for first time, went well much easier climbing hills.
Which would you rather do, long gradual climb or short steep climb? Not sure which I would choose. Went on 4.5 mile ride with Mr. Hill-Pumper on Sunday on rode bike for first time, went well much easier climbing hills.
Long gradual ones..or short if short means I can hold a tolerable hr at the top,and then have less hill to recover on
Depends on what you mean long or short..... Short can be 50 yards to some and 8 miles to others.
Long can be 1 mile to some and 20 miles to others.
Which would I choose? Depends on what you mean by choose.
Choose could be choose as in I don't want it to hurt cause I'm already tired or choose for a climb to do as a good hard fun workout ?
Long gradual climb; up here that means a mountain, and the scenery is so distracting and inspiring I don't notice the work.
Don't believe everything you think.
Beanz - what do you mean by "or"?
I prefer a longer more gradual climb, in the context of what I mean by longer, more gradual, and prefer. And I.
I prefer short and steep because I can power up anything ...for a short period of time. Long and gradual wears me out (and gravity is not my friend) but thank goodness for granny gears! BTW in my parlance short and steep means like a freeway overpass or small bump, nothing measure in mileage... that said, I seem to find myelf doing long and gradual all the time ( 8+ mile clims etc). The more I do it the "easier" it gets or at least I am resigned to just getting it done.
Private docent led mountain bike rides through Limestone Canyon. Go to letsgooutside.org and register today! Also available: hikes, equestrian rides and family events as well as trail maintenance and science study.
LOL. Neither. I go around them.
I rode a metric this past Saturday. Anyting longer than a mile is, for me, hateful.
These were OK
White Rock Rd .75 miles / 550' Average 13.9%
Everly .6 miles / 350' Average 11.0%
Collier .4 miles / 300' Average 14.2%
Pigs Ear .4 miles / 300' Average 14.2%
Bowman Hill 1.1 miles 800' Average 13.8%
Negro Mountain Rd. .6 miles / 250' Average 7.9%
Final climb .75 miles / 500' Average 12.6%
These I hated:
Old Morgantown Rd 3 miles / 1000' Average 6.3%
Devil's half acre 1.25 miles / 600' Average 9.1%
Racer Ex ..."But no one summits K2 and starts building a house; because you can't live on K2. They go down to base camp, and start planning an assault on Everest."
Long and gradual. Easier to get into the groove.
Long and gradual. Short, steep scares me because I run out of gears too quickly and worry I'll have to unclip mid hill.
Good question!

Thanks, that feature sounds kind of interesting.
1st - It's fashionable to hate CoD in general now. This has been the case for a few years now.
2nd - We are good at the game. Therefore, while we are still big "fans" of the game, we are no longer learning the game but have become critics. Not in a bad way, but we tend to view CoD from things they've done wrong every single time now. We scrutinize CoD to ridiculous levels, well before we actually look at what the game does right.
3rd - No one knows what they want in CoD. What features would you add in the perfect Call of Duty? Chances are no one has the proper answer to this, and 10 people would answer that question with 10 different responses
To be honest i only have 2 cod games blops1 and blops2 seeing how bad activision did i don't think infinity ward could do worse i have seen game play and always though there games were more fun looking so I'm excited for ghosts Just pre-orderd it last night matter of fact Soooooo
ps. I had a dream that i just got it and then Oprah appeared and said "It's a good thing." So it must be good

Warren Spector has hailed Heavy Rain maker David Cage as no less than "a genius".
That's from the mouth of one of the chief creators of Deus Ex, System Shock and Thief.
"David Cage is a genius. If Tim [Schafer - a "really good friend"] isn't the best writer in gaming, David is," Spector told MCV Pacific.
"I've never met the guy - I'd love to sit down and talk to him. But, basically, Heavy Rain works because it's five scripts all jammed together and meshing together and branching together. It's like it's the world's biggest choose-your-own-adventure book, and I can admire the craftsmanship behind that, and the skill it takes. I mean, I've actually written choose-your-own-adventure books, and I know how hard writing those is."

Evangelicals remain one of the principal obstacles to the full acceptance of gay Americans as people deserving equal rights and equal respect. But even in those religious circles, pressure from more tolerant Evangelicals – especially the young – is breaking down the barriers, Rev. Howard Bess writes.

Jesus's Provocative Political Protest
Christians celebrate Jesus's birth and the immediate events around his crucifixion, but less attention is given to the clearest sign of his political activism, his overturning of the money-changing tables at the Temple in Jerusalem, the likeliest reason for his execution, as Mark Manolopoulos explains.
A 2012 Look-Back at Consortiumnews
The year 2012 was an important one for the United States as it faced a presidential election, issues of war or peace, and the choice of extreme right-wing economic theories or greater political pragmatism. Here is a selection of stories from Consortiumnews.com.
In Case You Missed…
Some of our special stories from November, assessing the meaning of Election 2012, reporting on the sudden fall of a fabled general, and exposing crucial history from the Kennedy-Nixon era.
The History of the Advent Season
Some Christian churches observe a near-month-long preparation for Christmas known as the Advent season, but its origins are not Bible-based and not well understood. Advent traces back to the Middle Ages when some Christians thought Jesus's return was imminent, explains Rev. Howard Bess.
Biblical Economics
An irony of modern politics is that many conservative Americans view themselves as devout believers in the Bible yet they ascribe to right-wing, dog-eat-dog economic theories that Jesus and other Biblical figures would condemn. The contradiction has pushed Biblical economics out of mainstream debate, says Rev. Howard Bess.
In Case You Missed…
Some of our special articles from September, focusing on the U.S. presidential election, the prospect for war with Iran and various historical twists and turns.
Jesus: Redistributionist-in-Chief
From the Archive: Christian conservatives are cheering Mitt Romney's attack on a 14-year-old comment by Barack Obama endorsing a limited "redistribution" of wealth, but they ignore that Jesus called for a far more radical wealth redistribution – and it may have led to his crucifixion, as Rev. Howard Bess wrote in 2011.
What Jesus Meant about Love
Popular psychology, in discussing self-love, sometimes references Jesus's edict to "love your neighbor as yourself," noting that you can't love others unless you love yourself. But Rev. Howard Bess sees that logic as missing what Jesus meant when he talked about love.
Narrowing 'Love Thy Neighbor'
Many Christians claim a personal relationship with Jesus but show little regard for his commandments to serve the poor and love thy neighbor. Some conceal these contradictions by narrowing the definition of "neighbor," as Rev. Howard Bess explains.

Probably the best thing to do right now is to uninstall IE9. Windows should automatically revert to IE8, if this was your previous version. You can uninstall IE9 from Windows Control Panel -> Programs and Features – Installed Updates. Also see this:
Let's see if Skype works with the previous version of Internet Explorer. Subsequently you may try to re-install IE9.

I figured it out, it was a Javascript issue concerning IE9. I uninstalled the update and reverted back to IE8.

Next round 2016
Croatia will play in Europe/Africa Zone Group I in 2016. It will be the eighth consecutive year that the team has competed at this level.
Last round 4-7 February 2015
Croatia narrowly missed out on a place in the 2015 World Group II play-offs after falling to a young Serbian team in the Europe/Africa Zone Group I promotional play-off. Iva Majoli's team defeated Israel 3-0, Latvia 2-1 and Belgium 2-1 to win Pool D, only to see 17-year-old world No. 302 Ivana Jorovic stun world No. 99 Ana Konjuh before Anna Krunic defeated Donna Vekic to send Serbia through to April's play-offs at their expense.
Croatia's best Fed Cup performance came in 2002 when they were quarterfinalists. Prior to 1992, Croatian players competed under the flag of Yugoslavia.

Cynthia Kay Schipper, age 55, died unexpectedly on Monday, January 28, 2013, and went to be with her Lord and Savior in Heaven. Words cannot describe the love her family has for her and the loss this will be for them. Cindy was preceded in death by her mother in 2007, Clara Groelsema (VanHess) and her father, John Groelsema - only days before, and her niece, Angela Schipper. She will be lovingly remembered by her children, Bobbi Rae and Jon Newhof, Andrew and Jaclyn Schipper; her grandchildren, Gabriel, Anna, Kitrah and Soren Newhof, Adelaide Schipper; her siblings, Lee Yonker, Gary and Wilma Huizenga, Jan and David Luyk, Beth Rupp, Robert and Marie-Cecile Groelsema and Tom and Sheri Groelsema; James and Shirley Schipper and the Schipper Family; as well as many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. Cindy ADORED her kids and grandkids and was so excited to meet her twin granddaughters, who are due in March. God gifted her with incredible amounts of energy. She lived to bless others, always thoughtful and giving of herself. She was a gracious woman who spoke and lived God's truth in love to everyone she met. She cared for people and that was evident in her work at Oakcrest Communities-Maplewood in Jenison. A time for relatives and friends to visit with Cindy's family will be held 6-8 PM Thursday and 4-7 PM Friday at Cook Memorial Chapel in Grandville, 4235 Prairie St. SW (East building). A service to celebrate Cindy's life will be held at 10:30 AM Saturday, February 2, at Byron Center First Christian Reformed Church, 2450 85th St. SW. Rev. Bruce Ballast and Rev. Darren Tigelaar will be officiating. Interment will be at Winchester Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Allendale Christian School, where her grandchildren attend or The Critter Barn in Zeeland. The family welcomes memories and messages in their guestbook on-line at

Mio and randoms
Recently I borrowed nendoroid Imoko and Mio from comrade Chappy to make an idea which I have been having into a reality. Realised that if I don't make ideas into reality I'll be too lazy to think of others and enter a creativity dry spell.
Always thought that Mio would look good in Imoko's meido body a long time ago. The only thing which would be great it the maid lace hat thing could be used on her. Still looks lovely though. Got to use my expensive paper as a backdrop once again.
There is a continuation of this meido story but shall leave that for another day, this post just has too much pictures.
Been really busy lately eating eyeballs like this since the middle of the month. Lots of meetings with great pals and then school is still on so the pace is fast and time passes by so quick. I have no time to WoW, much less process my pictures, every night is filled with late night suppers.
This eyeball juice thing is pretty yummy!
Naturally the month of December is filled with goodies, broke my budget for the month by over ordering so much stuff. Irony is that the first of the few packages just arrived today, on the last day of the month in one big box.
Yummy goodies inside, half of them aren't mine, belongs to a few others who rode on my JTD proxy service. JTD maybe a little pricy, but their customer support is superb. Any questions and queries you can just email them and they will solve your problem or any requests. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs a proxy service in Japan.
Most impressed by figma Cute. Was more excited about Winter Drossel, but figma cute is beyond cute! really great sculpt, poses and expressions.
Red and white, love this combi!
The race queen set is pretty nice too, but Rin and Luka seems to be a little lacklustre, Miku however is really looking real cute. Will be selling my extra box for 80SGD, email me if you are interested.
Because of the parties and the workload, there isn't any time for anything at all; Am typing this entry at this spot instead of my room since there's a party here for the new year. Was the exact spot 1 week ago for christmas. Friends play the Wii while I unbox my stuff.
My room is still in a mess, my G4 had some problems and my G4 has all my old movies and anime. Some comrades wanted to take some out for some marathon so I had to find a way to get it out. Room is going to catch fire one day.
And to end this post, is more pictures of food. Was at Ichiban sushi that day after watching Avatar.
Been a long time since I've eaten sushi. Sushi here probably can't compare to the real source, but can't be helped!
Love the conveyor belt thing. Serves nendoroids. How great is that?
The potato croquette is awesome.
Love this Ryuk puchi.
Right, so hope all enjoy their new year and have a great time; hope I find a robot that can clean up my room in 2010!

Walsh Elected Boston Mayor
On Tuesday, Boston elected State Representative Marty Walsh as its new mayor. Walsh won 52% of the vote against 48% for Boston city councillor John Connolly. Walsh will be sworn into office in the new year and will replace Tom Menino who was mayor for an unprecedented 20 years.
As I noted the other day, I decided to support Connolly after other Boston area Republicans and conservatives raised alarms about Walsh's union ties. But Walsh had a better organization which was augmented by the likes of city councillor Felix Arroyo, businessman John Barros and former Deval Patrick Chief-of-Staff Charlotte Golar-Richie. All three were mayoral candidates and threw their support behind Walsh after they were eliminated in the primary vote in September. Having Boston's African-American & Latino communities augment the Irish vote in Walsh's native Dorchester and neighboring Southie not to mention the union vote put Walsh over the top.
In the grand scheme of things there was scarcely an inch of difference between Walsh and Connolly. On the other hand, that inch could prove to be vast especially when it comes to the unions. There will be a lot of people coming to collect their goodies with the taxpayer footing the bill. It could end up making the Big Dig look fiscally sound.

Valhi Inc. Stock Downgraded (VHI)
TheStreet) -- Valhi (NYSE: VHI) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from buy to hold. Among the primary strengths of the company is its solid stock performance, considering both the consistency and magnitude of the price movement over time. At the same time, however, we also find weaknesses including feeble growth in the company's earnings per share, deteriorating net income and disappointing return on equity.Editor's Note: Any reference to TheStreet Ratings and its underlying recommendation does not reflect the opinion of TheStreet, Inc. or any of its contributors including Jim Cramer or Stephanie Link. NEW YORK (
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- Compared to where it was 12 months ago, the stock is up, but it has so far lagged the appreciation in the S&P 500. Despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year, there is currently no conclusive evidence that warrants the purchase or sale of this stock.
- VHI, with its decline in revenue, underperformed when compared the industry average of 7.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues fell by 11.9%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- The debt-to-equity ratio of 1.27 is relatively high when compared with the industry average, suggesting a need for better debt level management. Even though the debt-to-equity ratio is weak, VHI's quick ratio is somewhat strong at 1.27, demonstrating the ability to handle short-term liquidity needs.
- VALHI INC has experienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. The company has suffered a declining pattern earnings per share over the past two years. During the past fiscal year, VALHI INC reported lower earnings of $0.41 versus $0.64 in the prior year.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Chemicals industry.

I didn't get the name of your camp (anyone, anyone?) but your DJ's rocked out an amazing set at the Man on Saturday. I can't thank you guys (and girls) enough for playing some amazing music during the burn.

I know you worked hard to get your camp onto the Playa, and I'm forever grateful for making this year's burn one of the best.

Languages of Taiwan
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (November 2013)
The language with the most native speakers in Taiwan is Taiwanese Hokkien spoken by about 70% of the population.[3][4] Hokkien is a topolect of the varieties of Chinese originating in southern Fujian and is spoken by many overseas Chinese throughout Southeast Asia. Recently there has been a growing use of Taiwanese Hokkien in the broadcast media.
Members of the Hakka Chinese subgroup, who are concentrated in several counties throughout Taiwan, often speak Hakka Chinese. The Formosan languages are the ethnic languages of the aboriginal tribes of Taiwan, comprising about 2% of the island's population. It's common for young and middle-aged Hakka and aboriginal people to speak Mandarin and Hokkien better than, or to the exclusion of, their ethnic languages.
Persons who emigrated from mainland China after 1949 (12% of the population) mostly speak Mandarin Chinese.[5] Standard Chinese is the official language and is almost universally spoken and understood.[6] It has been the only officially sanctioned medium of instruction in schools in Taiwan since the late 1940s, following the handover of Taiwan to the government of the Republic of China in 1945.
As a result of the half century of Japanese rule, many people born before 1940 also can speak fluent Japanese.[citation needed]
National language[edit]
Mandarin Chinese[edit]
In 1945, following the end of World War II, Taiwan was placed under the control of the Kuomintang-led Republic of China (ROC). Standard Chinese ("Mandarin") was introduced as the official language and made compulsory in schools. (Before 1945, Japanese was the official language and taught in schools.) Since then, Mandarin has been established as a lingua franca among the various groups in Taiwan: the majority Taiwanese-speaking Hoklo (Hokkien), the Hakka who have their own spoken language, Mainlanders whose native tongue may be any Chinese variant in mainland China, and the aboriginals who speak aboriginal languages.
Until the 1980s the Kuomintang administration heavily promoted the use of Mandarin and discouraged the use of Taiwanese and other vernaculars, even portraying them as inferior. Mandarin was the main language for use in the media. This produced a backlash in the 1990s. Although some more extreme supporters of Taiwan independence tend to be opposed to Mandarin in favor of Taiwanese, efforts to replace Mandarin either with Taiwanese or with a multi-lingual standard have remained stalled. Today, Mandarin is taught by immersion starting in elementary school. After the second grade, the entire educational system is in Mandarin, except for local language classes that have been taught for a few hours each week starting in the mid-1990s.
Taiwanese Mandarin (as with Singlish and many other situations of a creole speech community) is spoken at different levels according to the social class and situation of the speakers. Formal occasions call for the acrolectal level of Standard Chinese (Guoyu), which differs little from the Standard Chinese (Putonghua) of the People's Republic of China. Less formal situations may result in the basilect form, which has more uniquely Taiwanese features. Bilingual Taiwanese speakers may code-switch between Mandarin and Taiwanese, sometimes in the same sentence.
Mandarin is spoken fluently by almost the entire Taiwanese population, except for some elderly people who were educated under Japanese rule. In Taipei, where there is a high concentration of Mainlanders whose native language is not Taiwanese, Mandarin is used in greater frequency than in southern Taiwan and more rural areas where there are fewer Mainlanders.[citation needed] Many Taiwanese, particularly under the age of 45, speak Mandarin better than Hakka or Hokkien.[7]
Written Chinese[edit]
Taiwan uses Traditional Chinese characters. In mainland China these characters have been replaced by Simplified Chinese characters. Although Traditional Chinese characters are also used in Hong Kong, a small number of characters are written differently in Taiwan; the Standard Form of National Characters is the orthography standard used in Taiwan and administered by the ROC Ministry of Education, and has minor variances compared with the standardised character forms used in Hong Kong. Such differences relate to orthodox and vulgar variants of Chinese characters.
Written Vernacular Chinese is the standard of written Chinese used in official documents, general literature and most aspects of everyday life, and has grammar based on Modern Standard Mandarin. Vernacular Chinese is the modern written variant of Chinese that supplanted the use of Classical Chinese in literature following the New Culture Movement of the early 20th Century, which is based on the grammar of Chinese spoken in ancient times. In recent times, following the Taiwan localization movement and an increasing presence of Taiwanese literature, Written Hokkien based on the vocabulary and grammar of Taiwanese Hokkien is occasionally used in literature and informal communications.
Chinese phonetics[edit]
Zhuyin Fuhao, often abbreviated as Zhuyin, or known as Bopomofo after its first four letters, is the national phonetic system of the Republic of China for teaching the pronunciation of Chinese characters, especially in Mandarin. The system uses 37 special symbols to represent the Mandarin sounds: 21 consonants and 16 rimes, though it also has extensions for Hakka and Taiwanese.
These phonetic symbols sometimes appear as ruby characters printed next to the Chinese characters in young children's books, and in editions of classical texts (which frequently use characters that appear at very low frequency rates in newspapers and other such daily fare). In advertisements, these phonetic symbols are sometimes used to write certain particles (e.g., ㄉ instead of 的); other than this, one seldom sees these symbols used in mass media adult publications except as a pronunciation guide (or index system) in dictionary entries. Bopomofo symbols are also mapped to the ordinary Roman character keyboard (1 = bo, q = po, a = mo, and so forth) used in one method for inputting Chinese text when using the computer.
The sole purpose for Zhuyin in elementary education is to teach standard Mandarin pronunciation to children. Grade one textbooks of all subjects (including Mandarin) are entirely in zhuyin. After that year, Chinese character texts are given in annotated form. Around grade four, presence of Zhuyin annotation is greatly reduced, remaining only in the new character section. School children learn the symbols so that they can decode pronunciations given in a Chinese dictionary, and also so that they can find how to write words for which they know only the sounds.
Although the Wade-Giles system is commonly used for romanization of Chinese in Taiwan, romanization tends to be highly inconsistent. Unlike mainland China, Taiwan does not use the Latin alphabet in teaching Mandarin pronunciation in schools but rather uses a system called Zhuyin. There have been efforts by the educational system to move toward a Roman-based system, but these have been slow due to bureaucratic inertia, political reluctance to follow mainland China's footsteps and the huge cost in teacher retraining. The central government adopted Tongyong Pinyin as the official romanization in 2002 but local governments are permitted to override the standard as some have adopted Hanyu Pinyin and retained old romanizations that are commonly used. However, in August 2008 the central government announced that Hanyu Pinyin will be the only system of romanization in Taiwan as of January 2009.
Other languages[edit]
Taiwanese Hokkien[edit]
Taiwanese Hokkien, commonly known as "Taiwanese", is a variant of Hokkien spoken in Taiwan and is part of a group of Southern Min Chinese dialects. Taiwanese is officially seen as a Chinese dialect within a larger Chinese language, though there are issues of mutual intelligibility with other Chinese varieties.
There are both colloquial and literary registers of Taiwanese. Colloquial Taiwanese has roots in Old Chinese. Literary Taiwanese, which was originally developed in the 10th century in Fujian and based on Middle Chinese, was used at one time for formal writing, but is now largely extinct. A great part of Taiwanese Hokkien is mutually intelligible with other dialects of Hokkien as spoken in mainland China and South-east Asia and has a degree of intelligibility with other varieties of Min Nan languages such as Teochew. It is not, however, mutually intelligible with Mandarin or other Chinese languages.
Recent work by scholars such as Ekki Lu, Sakai Toru, and Lí Khîn-hoāⁿ (also known as Tavokan Khîn-hoāⁿ or Chin-An Li), based on former research by scholars such as Ông Io̍k-tek, has gone so far as to associate part of the basic vocabulary of the colloquial language with the Austronesian and Tai language families; however, such claims are not without controversy.
|This section requires expansion. (December 2009)
Hakka is mainly spoken in Taiwan by people who have Hakka ancestry. Hakka is officially considered Chinese dialect within a larger Chinese language.
The most common of the five Hakka dialects on Taiwan are Sixian and Hailu.[8]
Aboriginal languages[edit]
The Formosan languages are the languages of the aboriginal tribes of Taiwan. Taiwanese aborigines currently comprise about 2% of the island's population.[9] However, far fewer can still speak their ancestral language, after centuries of language shift. Of the approximately 26 languages of the Taiwanese aborigines, at least ten are extinct, another five are moribund,[10] and several others are to some degree endangered.
All Formosan languages are slowly being replaced by the culturally dominant Mandarin Chinese. In recent decades the government started an aboriginal reappreciation program that included the reintroduction of Formosan mother tongue education in Taiwanese schools. However, the results of this initiative have been disappointing.[11][12]
Sign language[edit]
|This section requires expansion. (December 2009)
The Japanese language was compulsorily taught while Taiwan was under Japanese rule (1895 to 1945). Although fluency is now largely limited to the elderly, some of Taiwan's youth who look to Japan as the trend-setter of the region's youth pop culture now might know a bit of Japanese through the media, their grandparents, or classes taken from private "cram schools".[citation needed]
As of 2005, few of the younger generations (under 65) could speak Japanese well, but many continue to (electively) study Japanese, as many high status families are active in business, law, and medicine and send their children to Japan.[7] It has been written that "when many of Taiwan's most prominent business executives gather for lunch one Friday a month in Taiwan's traditional downtown business center, the common language is Japanese, liberally interspersed with Taiwanese and some Mandarin, even though few of them learned Japanese before 1945 [...] Even these business executives, however, cannot begin to match the linguistic and cultural skills of older Taiwanese such as Lee Teng-hui."[7]
English is a common foreign language, with some large private schools providing English instruction. English is compulsory in students' curriculum once they enter elementary school. English as a school subject is also featured on Taiwan's education exams.

What is Percocet dependence?
The National Institute of medicine Abuse defines any non-medical employment of a prescription anesthetic as abuse but the meaning of addiction is defined by what occurs when you bring an end to the drug use. Your body becomes used to the Percocet, requiring that you continuously take the percocets, and when you do not take them, symptoms like the ones described above kick in. When the withdrawal symptoms start to kick in is all dependent on how long you have been addicted, and how often you take the percocets, and how many you take. A good estimate of the start of withdrawal symptoms is about twelve to sixteen hours without any opiate intake.
What Causes Percocet dependence?
This is a complicated question for the reason that regardless of the information that medical professionals from the region of the world have been, for centuries, the researching and on the lookout for the response to this query, there still is not any one particular answer. It has been found that some of the answers can be found in hereditary traits, the people you hang out with, and what has happened to you in your past.
For those of you who do not know, percocet addiction and withdrawal is almost identical to heroin addiction. In fact, many people that are addicted to percocets or any other type or narcotic opiate pill, will often start using heroin because it is cheaper and easier to get.
How is Percocet Administered?
Percocets are most often taken orally, but many addicts also take percocets by breaking them down and sniffing them through their nostrils, or even injecting them. Out of all the diverse ways of administration, injecting percocets has the quickest onset, the strongest effects, and it is the most addictive form of administration.
What are widespread side effects of Percocet usage, what are the withdrawal symptoms?
* Nausea
* Drowsiness and dizziness
* Constipation
* Rashes or itchiness
* Emotional mood disorders, depression
* Dried mouth
* Slightly decreases testosterone levels in men
* Liver or renal damage if taken in huge doses
Percocets are often not thought of as a hard drug, but in a lot of ways percocets are just as dangerous as cocaine, and is in fact very similar to heroin. It is important to educate yourself on opiate addiction.

Directions were different on reservation page of website than on reservation receipt. Confusing, but otherwise excellent service.
Great experience. Thank you.
very comfortable leaving my vehicle here
Experience was very good. The drivers were friendly and helpful. The only problem was the cashier working saturday afternoon. when I pulled up to the cashier and had to tap on the glass to get her attention even though there was a bell that rings in the office to let them know someone is there. I handed over my ticket and got my total i thought it seeemed too high and I had to tell the cashier that since I made an online reservation that I had already paid part of the bill. She then told me I had to get the reservation print out from the website. She should really have already asked me for it since I would assume that most people would book their reservation online since people do everything online these days. Also it would save you guys the hassle when someone realizes they were overcharged and has to come back and wants to get their $16.00 refunded that they paid online
excellent.. shuttle picked us up after maybe 1 minute wait.. prompt ride to our car, system is excellent. no problem at all.
You need better directions for getting back to 93 south or RT 1 south. That would be very help full. That's the only thing that I thing needs improvement.
The pick-up was exceptional along with the driver (2/12/13 at approximately 1:30 PM). The pick-up at the airport was a longer wait about 20 minutes (tough in the cold weather). The driver went a different way from the airport (Logan) to the site. I think he was avoiding a bridge. It would have been helpful if he told us why it was taking so long to get back to our car. Everything else was very good.
The snow storm od Feb 8-9 made getting the car out on the 10th a bit of a problem. I felt you staff did the best they could under the conditions.
They cleared the car from 2 feet of snow during the the major Blizzard that hit Boston. That was a pleasant surprise.
This was my first time parking with you. Your services were convenient, professional and a great value. I will never park anywhere else.
We were completely impressed with everything - from how easy it was to get a reservation to the immediate shuttle service (especially on the frigid return we waited all of 1 minute). We will certainly do business with you again.
Very please experience with this parking place.Will recommended everyone.
Great Service, at the lowest price!
The front of our car was covered with globs of some sort of grease or oil that was very difficult to clean.
We never had more than 30 seconds wait for the shuttle either way! Very courteous and clean. Parking lot very well organized. Our battery was dead when we returned and before we even realized it someone was there to jump us! Could not ask for better service. The directions TO the lot are a bit tricky especially at the end of the tunnel when you DO NOT head into the airport. Other than that, this was an excellent experience.
We found the service to be excellent. It had snowed while we were away and we returned to a well plowed parking lot. It was at night and we had to clear our car, but that was fairly easy after warming it up and defrosting for a few minutes. Would I use this service again? DEFINITELY!!! Thanks!
I was recommended this parking lot because of its prompt and easy service
good job !!!
The drivers were absolutely the best--incredibly courteous, helpful and good natured--thanks!
this is a smart alternative when flying out of Logan for a long trip.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ramseysmom sensitive skin on dog My dog has the most sensitive skin ever. He had sores on his skin and dry spots it has helped his skin 110% October 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by CLB59 Smells wonderful I love this shampoo. I bathed my 2 yorkies with it and their coats were so shiny. The lavender smell is wonderful. Most importantly, I like the fact that it is organic. April 3, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by janel5890 great shampoo I use this shampoo on my Ragdoll and it works very well. It has a nice aroma and cleans the coat, leaving it soft and fluffy. Only issue I have is that it doesn't lather very well, but I still recommend it! P.s. I love that it is organic!! October 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TOVA Smells gr8 I guess I just got lucky picking this product as I never have seen it on pet store shelves but it is really really good. The shampoo smells great and suds are also great. Will buy it again when I need more. February 4, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by admoon Good price I normally use BioGroom products, but wanted something specifically for dry skin. I did dilute the shampoo 1:1, but didn't get a lot of lather that I could spread around. As a result, I ended up using about 1/3 bottle to wash two Rhodesian ridgebacks. It did not dry out my hands, so I hope this helps with the flakies I have been seeing on one of my dogs. The fragrance is more of an almond scent, but doesn't linger. I don't think I'll be purchasing this again, but was happy to try out a new product. July 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Doglover27 Good product We used this shampoo the other day to give both our dogs a bath. The shampoo works well, smells good and was easy to rinse out of their fur. October 16, 2014

Film: 10 Things I Hate About You
"I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair.10 Things I Hate About You is a 1999 High School film which was, essentially, a sort of murky, updated High School A.U.-style take on The Taming of the Shrew. The plot is fairly standard for a romantic comedy, and runs as such:Something is rotten in the house of Stratford. It has come to light that Katerina Stratford, the feminist, intelligent, and well, shrewish elder sister, has received an acceptance letter to a college her overprotective father doesn't want her to go to. Bianca, the bubbly, popular younger sister, got a ride home from a boy today. There's much anger and words are exchanged that cannot be taken back, and from all of this a new rule sprouts forth: Bianca can date when Kat does. This is pretty much the end of it for Bianca, as Kat doesn't really do the whole dating thing, preferring to snark and study. However, when Bianca spills this to Cameron, the new kid in town who has a crush on her and is her French Tutor, he develops a plan: Find someone who'll date Kat. But who?The bad boy in town, of course. Enter Patrick Verona. He's mean, he's tough, and he scares off Cameron when he's approached with the idea. However, Michael, Cameron's new friend(ish), comes up with an idea: get Joey, a popular guy with a crush on Bianca, to cough up money for them to bribe Patrick with. This succeeds, and in the end, Patrick woos Kat by essentially being as cantankerous and stubborn as she is, only more romantic. He ends up asking her to the prom, having been given 300 bucks to do it, and while she doesn't go at first, she eventually accepts. The problem? He's actually really starting to like this girl...Despite being a teen romcom, 10 Things received some good reviews for acting, writing and general amusement value. It's still fondly remembered years later because of that. Most notably, it put its two leads on the map as dramatic actors to watch in the future. Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger had their break-out roles here. In the meanwhile, Joseph Gordon-Levitt (3rd Rock from the Sun) and Larisa Oleynik (the title character from The Secret World of Alex Mack, not to mention JGL's girlfriend on Third Rock) played the roles of Cameron and Bianca. Lastly, David Krumholtz of NUMB3RS, The Addams Family and The Santa Clause played Michael, and Allison Janney had a One-Scene Wonder role as "Miss Perky," the school's incredibly-messed up guidance counselor. (This film is a shining example of Hey, It's That Guy! and Retroactive Recognition.)Also has a sitcom based on it, which airs on ABC Family. More information on it can be found here. Despite only lasting two years, it amassed an impressive fanbase and was generally considered better than expected for a series recycled from a film.
I hate the way you drive my car, I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots and the way you read my mind;
I hate you so much it makes me sick, it even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you're always right, I hate it when you lie,
I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call,
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you, not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all."
I hate the way you drive my car, I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots and the way you read my mind;
I hate you so much it makes me sick, it even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you're always right, I hate it when you lie,
I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call,
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you, not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all."
This film provides examples of:
- Accidental Misnaming: In the space of a few lines when Bianca first speaks to Cameron, she gets his name wrong twice, calling him Curtis and Calvin. He corrects her the first time, but not the second.
- Joey too, in the scene after the doctored flyers for Bogey's party are distributed. Joey calls him Bogey Lowenbrau while talking to Bianca.
- Amusing Injuries: Bianca accidentally firing an arrow into her teacher's backside.
- And This Is for...: Bianca does this to Joey near the end of the movie. It's immensely satisfying.
- Angry Black Man: The English teacher Mr. Morgan, sort of.
Michael: These delusionals are your White Rastas. Big Marley fans, they think they're black. Semi-political, but mostly...Cameron: ...Smoke a lot of weed?
- Lampshaded with the White Rastas when they try to join in on Mr. Morgan's righteous indignation about the lack of black authors on the school curriculum, only to be reminded they're not actually black.
- Bad Guys Play Pool: Just to reinforce his badassitude, Patrick is shown smoking and playing pool in a bar before Cameron comes to tell him how to impress Kat.
- Bad News in a Good Way:Cameron: We're screwed.
Michael: Hey, no, hey. I don't want to hear that defeatist attitude. I want to hear you upbeat.
Cameron (upbeat): We're screwed!
Michael: There you go.
- Because I Said So: Their father, sort of, and also Kat towards Bianca's wish to date Joey. She doesn't explain why till the end of the movie. Kat slept with Joey once. When she said she didn't want to do it again, he dumped her.
- The Bet: Subverted and, in a way, played straight. Joey is actually just after Bianca because his friends bet him he couldn't sleep with her, but by the time Bianca finds out about this she's already become disenchanted with Joey and realized that Cameron is the better guy. Patrick, while not betting on anything himself, is the one who catches the consequences of the trope when Kat finds out that he was paid to take her out.
- Betty and Veronica: Cameron and Joey for Bianca.
- Big Fancy House: Bogey Lowenstein's house.
- Bilingual Bonus: Unlike the other French lesson dialogue, Cameron's French cursing is not subtitled.
- Brick Joke: Early in the movie Patrick drills a hole in Cameron's French textbook. The hole remains for the rest of the movie, making for several scenes where the already clueless Cameron is attempting to learn French from a useless book.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: The guidance counselor.Cameron: Did you just say ... am I in the right office?
- The Cast Showoff: In-universe. Averted with Cameron, who signs up as Bianca's French tutor in order to get close to her, despite being unable to speak French. In real life, Joseph Gordon-Levitt speaks fluent French.Michael: She's actually looking for a French tutor...Cameron: Are you serious? That's perfect!Michael: Do you speak French?Cameron: Well, no, but I will!
- Chekhov's Gun: The money Joey is paying Patrick to date Kat, and the guitar Kat is seen with in the music store. At the end of the film, Patrick reveals to Kat he used the money to get the guitar for her. Slightly subverted in that it may not be the same guitar, but the idea still stands.
- Compensating for Something: Joey's expensive sports car (see Teeny Weenie).
- Deadpan Snarker: See World of Snark.
- Death Glare: Kat when we first see her. It comes with an Establishing Character Moment.
- Walter gives Joey one on prom night when the latter turns up at the Stratford house to pick up Bianca, before wordlessly slamming the door in Joey's face.
- Decoy Protagonist: The film follows Cameron as the main character before the introduction of Kat and Patrick.
- Defrosting Ice Queen: Kat.
- Distracted by the Sexy: Kat deliberately invokes this to get Patrick out of detention.
- Does Not Like Men: Kat, in keeping with the original. It's eventually subverted, however.
- Does Not Like Shoes: Kat again. She only ever wears unflattering thick flip-flops and mostly goes barefoot around her house.
- Establishing Character Moment: The movie opens with perky pop song playing over fun, bouncing credits, as four perky pretty girls roll up to a stop sign in a brightly-coloured sports car... then the pop music is rapidly drowned out by Joan Jett's "Bad Reputation", as a lone, sour-faced young woman rolls up next to them in a beat-up Ford, glaring. Six minutes before we learn her name, five minutes before she ever speaks, and we already know Kat's basic character.
Ms. Perky: People perceive you as somewhat...
- Also captured in that wonderful exchange with Miss Perky:
Kat: Tempestuous?
Ms. Perky: "Heinous bitch" is the term used most often.
[[Kat reacts with a pleased smile]]
- Even the Guys Want Him: After Heath Ledger finished his audition, the director turned to his mostly female staff and said "I'm not gay. But if I was, that is the kind of guy I'd want to sleep with."
- Everything Sounds Sexier in French: Subverted with Cameron and Bianca's decidedly unromantic French tutoring sessions, to Cameron's disappointment.Cameron: I thought we could start with pronunciation?Bianca: Ugh, not the hacking and gagging and spitting part, please.
- Face Doodling: Actually took place while the character was awake. Joey doodles on Michael's face as he's trying to speak.Michael: I have a dick on my face, don't I?
- False Friend: Chastity. Although she starts off as the Black Best Friend to Bianca, she betrays her first by taking her date (Joey) after he dumps her, then rubs Bianca's face in it afterwards by revealing that he dated her only over a bet with his buddies in the first place.
- Flat Character: Well averted. Cameron, Michael, Kat, Bianca and Patrick all turn out to have Hidden Depths.
- Foreshadowing: Mr Morgan insulting Joey in his class ("Someday you're gonna get bitch-slapped, and I'm not going to do a thing to stop it" and then "Unless she kicked the crap out of your dumb butt, I don't want to hear about it") sets up how Joey will get his ass handed to him by Bianca at the prom.
- Funny Background Event: As Bianca is trying to fire her bow, Joey tries to talk to her. The result is that the arrow misses the target and hits the teacher insteadnote . Bianca even stops to look before going right back to her conversation.
- When Coach is supervising detention several scenes later, he still visibly has trouble sitting down due to his earlier injury.
- The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry: Unsurprising, given that this also applies to the original.
- Groin Attack: Bianca to Joey after finding out he placed a bet to nail her on prom night. And the audience cheers.
- A Noodle Incident equivalent happens in Kat's backstory. ("I still maintain that he kicked himself in the balls.")
- When Michael is on his bike and accidentally goes tumbling down a hill, he shouts "My balls!" during one of the bounces.
- The Grovel: After getting Kat so royally pissed off at him that she won't speak to him, Patrick is instructed to "sacrifice yourself on the altar of dignity and even the score." No actual groveling is involved - Patrick opts for a marching-band-assisted rendition of "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" in the middle of her soccer practice instead - but the effect is the same, especially as it also nets him detention.
- Held Gaze: One between Kat and Patrick, which turns into an Almost Kiss but then Patrick looks away, killing the moment. This also happens between Cameron and Bianca as well.
- Heel RealisationCameron: Have you always been this selfish?Bianca: ...Yes.
- "Hey, You!" Haymaker: Bianca lays one on Joey at the dance.
- High School A.U.: It's pretty much just The Taming of the Shrew with high school and more modern things.
- High School Dance: Well, yes.
- Hilarious Outtakes: "Can I get a prophylactic?"
- Hollywood Geography: Anyone who's ever lived in Seattle will be somewhat bemused by how quickly they get from various points of the city to others.
- An example: It's a 45 minute drive from Stadium High School in Tacoma (where the actual school building is located) to the docks where they rent the boat when they escape detention.
- Hormone-Addled Teenager: Played pretty straight with Bianca, Cameron, and Joey; spectacularly averted with Kat.
- Informed Ability: Kat is supposed to be a good student, being apparently well-read and with high enough grades to get her a place at Sarah Lawrence, but her attempt at iambic pentameter poetry leaves something to be desired.
- It's All About Me: Joey has this attitude. It's this that causes Bianca to realise that Cameron is the better guy.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Slightly subverted with Patrick, specifically the jerk part. He's a loner and more than a bit abrasive about the whole bet thing, but as it turns out much of his reputation is just rumors.
- Lighter and Softer: The Taming of the Shrew was a good bit more misogynistic.
- Also received a tone-shift between script drafts; the original screenplay is much darker, including a subplot about a suicidal Mandella.
- Meaningful Name: Kat and Bianca's last name (after Stratford-on-Avon), as well as Patrick's last name, and Padua High School.
- Cameron James is named after King James, who ruled during Shakespeare's life.
- Megaphone Hanging: Stacks of Shakespeare references.Cameron: I burn, I pine, I perish!Michael: ...Sure you do.
- Mills and Boon Prose: A guidance counselor, who writes bad sex novels, wants to know another word for "engorged".
- Swollen.
- Turgid.
- Tumescent?
- Perfect!
- Bratwurst."I'll let you get back to Reginald's quivering member.""I've got deviants to see and a novel to finish... now SCOOT!"
- Missing Mom: Kat and Bianca's mother is absent, and only gets a mention whenever Bianca puts on a set of her pearls before going out.
- She gets a few more mentions, the implication being that she left the family, and that left the dad feeling out of control, explaining why he's so overprotective of his daughters. She seemed to have been a character in an older version of the script.
- Whether she left in a taxi or a hearse is never established, but frankly it doesn't change much.
- In the original script, their mother was present, but spent all of her time at the computer writing romance novels. All of the gags surrounding Ms. Perky's novels originally belonged to Mrs. Stratford.
- In the series, she's dead.
- She gets a few more mentions, the implication being that she left the family, and that left the dad feeling out of control, explaining why he's so overprotective of his daughters. She seemed to have been a character in an older version of the script.
- Missing Trailer Scene: Kat rejecting Patrick at the lockers then the camera zooms in on his grinning face *swoon*.
- The '90s: Ska (lots of it), The Real World, Dawson's Creek and Jared Leto references.
Patrick: You know, these guys are no Bikini Kill or the Raincoats, but they're not bad.
- The original screenplay was written several years before the film eventually went into production, and heavily featured references to the Washington Riot Grrrl music scene that was in full swing at the time; the finished film name drops a few bands associated with the genre.
- Nonindicative Name: "Ten Things I Hate About You" is catchy, but Kat's poem lists more than ten things.
- Actually, some of the items may be listed together. The words "I hate" appear in the poem ten times; the words that follow may be lumped together. Thus "I hate your big dumb combat boots and the way you read my mind" would be one item.
- Overprotective Dad: in addition to the whole Missing Mom thing, he's also a natal specialist who evidently deals with a lot of teenagers.Walter: Kissing isn't what keeps me up to my elbows in placentas all day!
- Pair the Spares: Chastity ends up with Joey; Michael starts dating Kat's best friend Mandella.
- Parking Payback: Kat's least favourite person parks his shiny new sports car behind her, in the middle of the road. This is, itself, illegal and done specifically to annoy her, but Kat takes it a bit too far when she backs right into him, destroying the side.Walter: 'Whoops?' My insurance does not cover PMS!Kat: Well then, tell them I had a seizure.
- A Party Also Known as an Orgy: Trope Namer.
- Pretty Boy: Patrick's prettyness gets lampshaded in the movie.Cameron: And Kat likes pretty guys.Patrick: Are you saying I'm not a pretty guy?
- Recycled: The Series
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Kat is blue, Bianca is red. This s also shown in the colours of their respective prom dresses near the end of the film.
- Rooftop Concert: The movie ends with a crane shot, revealing the band Letters to Cleo playing on top of Padua High School.
- Rule of Three: See Will They or Won't They? example below.
- Screams Like a Little Girl: When Cameron asks the guys Michael has gathered about whether they will date Kat, the final guy has this reaction.
- Screw the Rules, I'm Beautiful!: Bianca believes she can manipulate Cameron's feelings for her based on this. When he finds out, as seen in the What the Hell, Hero? examples below, Cameron disagrees.
- Joey feels that, as the most handsome man on campus, he can have any woman he wants and be damned her feelings on the matter.
- Serenade Your Lover: The famous "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" scene in the stadium. With a parade.
- She Cleans Up Nicely: Kat and Patrick have this effect on one another.
- Shot in the Ass: A distracted Bianca looses an arrow into her gym teacher's posterior.
- Show Some Leg: It isn't exactly her leg.Patrick: So how did you keep him distracted?Kat: I dazzled him with my... wits.
- Shrouded in Myth: Patrick Verona is supposed to have eaten a live duck, sold his liver on the black market for a new set of speakers, lit a State Trooper on fire, known Marilyn Manson, slept with a Spice Girl (he doesn't think so) and been a porn star, among other things. Kat has a bit of a reputation too. Amusingly, when they discuss this later, it turns out the only thing that's actually true is Kat pulling a Groin Attack on a guy who tried to grope her in the lunch line.Ms. Perky: His testicle retrieval operation went quite well, in case you're wondering.Kat: I still maintain that he kicked himself in the balls.
- "Shut Up" Kiss: Bianca does this to Cameron when he calls her out on her actions at the party (He was technically her date, but she spent more time with Joey only to recognize Joey for what he was. Cameron was being a gentleman by driving her home). Probably the best way to get back in his good graces.
- Subverted later when Kat finally finds out that Patrick was paid to date her. He tries resorting to this to convince her that he really did love her, but she was too angry and pushed him away.
- Played straight again at the very end of the movie, after Patrick finally wins Kat back by buying her dream guitar for her.
- Small Reference Pools: Kat complains about not discussing women authors in English class, but only names Sylvia Plath and Charlotte Brontë (she does name Simone de Beauvoir, however).
- The Snark Knight: Kat
- Stalking Is Love: Patrick goes to pretty great lengths to follow Kat around. Turns into a Crowning Moment of Awesome when he follows her into a bookstore and claims to be looking for a copy of The Feminine Mystique, and she shuts him down by pushing him away with that very book.
- Teeny Weenie: Joey, apparently. Kat threatens to reveal this to the cheerleading team if he tells anyone that he slept with her.
- Took a Level in Badass: Bianca, at the prom, after she finds out about Joey's bet and his involvement in the Kat plot. Much to the bemusement of the other characters.Kat: Bianca beat the hell out of some guy.Walter: Bianca did what?!Kat: What's the matter, upset that I rubbed off on her?Walter: No... impressed.
- Took a Level in Kindness: Kat, when she agrees to go to the prom so that Bianca can have her dream date.
- Bianca, when Cameron points out what a bitch she has been. From then on, she is more polite, sincere, and less manipulative.
- Totally Radical: Played for laughs in-universe; Walter Stratford's various attempts at speaking 'teen' in an effort to get his point across to his daughters aren't as successful as he hopes.
- Tsundere: Kat is a definitive type A.
- Two-Teacher School: The gym teacher/soccer coach and the English teacher are the only ones seen.
- Unusual Euphemism:Patrick: Joey can plough whatever he wants.Cameron: Hey! There will be no ploughing!
- "Bratwurst? Well, aren't we the optimist."
- Vanity Is Feminine: Poked fun at when Patrick is told Katerina prefers "pretty guys." "... Are you telling me I'm not a pretty guy?"
- Wedlock Block: The premise of the movie (but with dating instead of marriage).
- What the Hell, Hero?: Cameron gives Bianca a piece of his mind when he learns that she was just manipulating him and his feelings towards her to try and get closer to another guy. This is, of course, after Bianca has decided that maybe he's the better choice after all.Cameron: Just 'cause you're beautiful, that doesn't mean that you can treat people like they don't matter.
- Why Can't I Hate You?: Exemplified perfectly in the poem.
- Wild Teen Party: In which Kat gets drunk, dances on a table, and throws up in the park.
- Will They or Won't They?: Kat runs out on Patrick a total of three times over the course of the movie: once after the drunk Almost Kiss (which Patrick didn't go for), once after he accidentally pulled a cigarette, and (of course) at the prom after the truth comes out.
- World of Snark: Kat, Bianca, Michael, to name only a few, and plenty of Snark-to-Snark Combat, especially between the Stratfords
- Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe: Parodied.Michael: (in character) The shit hath hitteth the fan... eth.
The series contains examples of:
- All Gays Love Theatre: Bianca thinks thinks because Cameron likes Dreamgirls is proof that he's gay, despite his protest that he loves Motown, not musicals
- Alpha Bitch / Lovable Alpha Bitch: Chastity
- Asian Airhead: Dawn
- Cassandra Truth: Bianca tries to explain to people that she didn't have sex with her teacher but no one listened and he was arrested (although he was having sex with another girl)
- The Cast Showoff: The talent show episode may have been created so Meaghan Martin could sing.
- The Cheerleader: Bianca, Chastity, Dawn etc.
- Cliffhanger: The season one finale, which became the series finale when the show wasn't renewed. Walter walked in on Kat and Patrick right after they finished having sex. Bianca and Dawn quit the cheerleading squad in protest over their Chastity being unfairly kicked off, only to find out that Chastity is transferring schools and they didn't have to quit. Joey had become a contestant on a reality show and Bianca tunes in just in time to see him kissing another one of the contestants. The creator of the show was nice enough to tell fans how things would have developed if the series had continued Basically, Kat and Patrick's relationship would grow closer, though they'd eventually clash about college.(Kat wants to go and wants Patrick to go, Patrick doesn't think college is his thing.) We'd meet Patrick's mom and stepdad, and Walter would become a sort of father figure to Patrick. Kat's other possible love interest, Blank, would be around, but it wasn't quite going to turn into a full-fledged love triangle. Joey would get kicked off the reality show, causing him to lose a bit of his spark. His and Bianca's problems(from his cheating and bit of a personality change) would lead to Bianca confiding in Cameron, which would lead to a Bianca/Joey/Cameron love triangle. Chastity was going to be gone for good, since the actress quit the show, and Dawn would be given a bigger role to compensate.
- Darkhorse Victory: Joey wins the talent show rather than any of the main characters
- Dumb Blonde: Joey, who also represents Dumb Is Good
- Though Bianca isn't as smart as Kat, she is not dumb as stated by her teacher being dragged away by cops
- "Was this because I gave you an A-?"
- Though Bianca isn't as smart as Kat, she is not dumb as stated by her teacher being dragged away by cops
- Granola Girl: Kat
- Hey, It's That Guy!: Walter Stratford from the film plays Walter Stratford in the series.
- Kat's car in the series was Cameron's in the movie.
- Hide Your Gays: Mandella is hinted at being a lesbian and appears sporadically, until it's confirmed and she disappears. Michael disappears for several episodes only to return to come out.
- Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Cameron with Bianca and Dawn.
- Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: It's yet another show that names episodes after songs, I Want You To Want Me was episode two.
- In-Series Nickname: Joey affectionately refers to Bianca as "Five" based on her forehead being a "five head". It Makes Sense in Context.
- Irony: Walter constantly gets on Bianca for the slightest things when in reality she hasn't done anything nearly as bad as Kat did.
- Lighter and Softer: Everyone in the series is much nicer than their movie counterparts, especially Joey. Plus other things like the Stratford's Missing Mom being deceased as opposed to abandoning them.
- Mistaken for Gay: Bianca thinks this of Cameron when Michael who really is gay gives him a makeover
- No Antagonist: Bianca and Joey are both much nicer than their movie counterparts, Chastity is sort of a Lovable Alpha Bitch, even Blank is actually a pretty nice guy. The closest thing would be Walter but he's just trying to look out for his daughters
- Perfectly Cromulent Word: Bianca on several occasions uses the term slore which is a portmanteau of slut and whore
- One Head Taller: Cameron with everyone. Dawn has to stand on a platform in order to kiss him.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Bianca is actually quite good at delivering them and has on more than one occasion called Chastity out.
- She also receives a brutal one from Cameron. It's not exactly true as it is his false perception of her.
- Sudden School Uniform
- Talent Show: In the episode 'The Winner Takes All'.
- Third-Act Misunderstanding
- Unrequited Love Switcheroo: Although Bianca's feeling for Joey always seem to be genuine, she seems to have a really hard time coming to terms with the fact that Cameron moved on and is now dating Dawn.
- What the Hell, Hero?: After Cameron hears Bianca's date wants to have sex with her he goes out of his way to sabotage the date rather than telling her. She hates him briefly when she finds out
- Younger Than They Look: Patrick, who is supposed to be 17, was played by a 21 year old and looked like it, mainly due to his muscular build, very deep voice, mature facial features, and the way he dressed. Walter even pointed this out in one episode, calling him out to Kat as 'your friend with the disturbingly deep voice who looks much older than 17.'
