How to have sex in a hostel
Good article about having sex in a hostel:
Enjoy this naughty and funny article!
No locker at my Rome hostel...now what?
Justin and I are beginning our budget travel adventure in Rome arriving on Wednesday, October 1st. Back in late March we sent a few emails to The Colors Hotel in Rome and made reservations for 3 nights. We booked two beds in a room with 6 beds total. Yes, this means that up to 4 absolute strangers will be sleeping nearby. Not a big deal…this is part of budget travel.
Work and travel
Hello everyone,
I am thinking of travelling for a few months to Europe in December or January, hope to be able to get some jobs that allow me to get to know, superficially, 4 or 5 countries. (the principal cities of, for example, Spain, France, Italy…)
I'm new in this and have no experience in working abroad, staying in hostels and that kind of stuff, so, I ask you for any help or advice that you could give me.
I'm 22, I'm a student and I'm an Argentinian, but I have also the Spanish nationality. I speak english, french, japanesse (not very usefull, i think), and, obviously, spanish.

Euro During Winter
My next long break will be during winter. Was thinking of a group Euro trip with my friends after the new year. wondering if this is actually a good idea since it'll be cold and there's the possibility of delays due to bad weather?

text: Being a Class A Moron just got harder. NBC's 30 Rock integrated Google into Thursday night's episode with a New York Post Page Six storyline plot involving Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin). A controversial comment in the infamous newspaper created an association between a search for Class A Moron and Jack Donaghy in a Google search. As a search engine marketer, I can speak from personal experience working with CEOs dealing with online reputation management issues. Worth a good chuckle for those watching, although not very fun if you're the "class-a-moron" in real life.

Surprise, surprise. A Commonwealth Court judge rejected the challenge to Pennsylvania's voter ID law.
I can't even say I'm shocked. Angry? Darned right I am. But shocked?
Truth is, I didn't expect any good would come out of the well-intentioned effort by a coalition of lawyers to appeal a law ginned up to prevent fraud but that in and of itself perpetrates the worst kind of fraud.
Proving, once more, that "we haven't achieved full democracy, and the struggle for the right to vote is the history of that," says Lorraine Minnite, a Rutgers-Camden professor and author of The Myth of Voter Fraud.

Given how sony handled the PSP and the Vita, will YOU buy another SONY handheld?

- Given how sony handled the PSP and the Vita, will YOU buy another SONY handheld?
I don't understand how handhelds sell in the first place. Anyone 25+ with a job shouldn't have time to use a handheld outside of time at home, in which consoles should rein.
Maybe because they sell mainly with people who don't have jobs yet?

I wound up buying 3 PSP's over the course of like 3 years. One broke, and I sold 2. I liked the PSP for the most part, but it didn't enough games. I pretty much only played RPGs and GoW games and once I finished whatever game I was playing it would just sit there and collect dust until another game I wanted to play came out.... usually months apart, hence why I sold it twice.
I absolutely love my VITA. I've stated it numerous times across these boards. When I first heard about it I didn't even read up on it or anything. TBH I never thought I would buy one. I bought it used and pretty much got it just to play P4G, I hadn't even looked into the other games available. But I was so pleasantly surprised with the VITA that it has pretty much taken over my gaming these past few months.
I love the game selection, not just the VITA exclusives, but the classics, psp games and psn games. Hell, I have 16 games installed on it right now. That's just the ones that are installed, I probably have 40 games that I've purchased on the PSN and can go back and download at any time.
Soooooo tl;dr - Yes. Yes I would buy one. I believe the VITA will eventually start selling really well in the US and Sony will make another handheld in a few years with more cross play/compatibility with the PS4.
My Gaming as of 5/3/13 - VITA>PC>3DS>PS3
IMHO: Sony>>>>>Nintendo>>>>>>>>>>>>>Microsoft
PSP had a great library of games, Vita too is building one up, plus allows you to have Final Fantasy I - IX (with X & X-2 soon) to be on the same console on one memory card. I was happy with the PSP, and I'm now even happier with the Vita. My only real issue with the Vita is no Video Out option, but aside from that, I'm in love with it. I'd gladly buy another Vita handheld.

<begin rant>
overall, if a portable gaming system is going to have games that i like from franchises i like, then i'm buyin' it. this is especially true with me and portables due to the fact that i'm more of a portable gamer than i am a home console gamer. with today's quality of handheld games, my love for portables has grown even more in the past decade simply because of the the type of console-quality games we can now have/play/enjoy in the palm of our hands.
when it comes to Sony's portables thus far... of course i'd buy another Sony portable. the PSP was and STILL IS great fun (I have a huge backlog of games still to play)! plus there's the fact that my preferences in games tend to fall more towards Sony-style/types of games. Sony systems seem to always have the games i love & enjoy a little bit more (1 or 2 notches up) than the games often found on Nintendo systems.
and then there's the very little worry i have in regards to any perceived temporary lack of support that some people have stereotyped Sony with. the PSP, as WILL be the case with the Vita, has followed the same type of sales progress and slower/longer term build up of a game library AND install-base as some of its other systems. while the PS2 was Sony's best selling system, such success did not happen over night... although it did happen in a more rapid fashion as compared to the PS1, PS3, and the PSP, all 3 of which saw a much slower but steady march towards building their quality gaming libraries and thus commercial success.
between the time of its launch and up until now, it is that very same & familiar slow and steady march that i can easily see that is also happening with the Vita... it had a strong line-up of games at launch and has since lowered its pace of releases of quality games. however with Sony you know things don't change over night, but you can count on them staying the course all the way through to the end maintaining a high quality throughout. i believe most people at Sony see their gaming division(s) relate to the well known quote, "slow & steady wins the race" with "winning the race" not meaning winning 1st place but achieving success in sales overall in the end.
<end rant>
so with all of that said, if it wasn't clear in the beginning, yes of course i'd feel perfectly comfortable buying another Sony portable. there's no hesitation here... DAY ONE buy for me for sure!.

I hope you both are kidding.
A handheld gives an adult who has a job the ability to play on the way to work [depending on transportation] during breaks and on the way back home and in between.
Sure they may only catch 15-20 minutes in each case, but it still provides more entertainment than can be afforded in some instances from a core console.
Only insecure and ignorant people try to debase someone online based on their username.
I loved the PSP. I don't think I ever sank as many hours into any other system.
The Vita is also pretty nice but disappointing, at times it's like Sony doesn't even care about it. :/

Vita is the best handheld I've ever played. And I've played them all- the good ones, anyway.
Even knowing what i know now about Sony's horrific-seeming non-interest, I'd buy Vita again- at launch.

HOMEWOOD, Alabama -- The Homewood City Council approved a resolution authorizing the financing of the new park and recreation building at tonight's specially called meeting. Council President Bruce Limbaugh was not present. Te majority 7-3 vote in favor of the resolution ended discussions that had prompted several other specially called meeting in the previous weeks.
All three council members who said they were not yet comfortable voting at Wednesday night's meeting, including Ward1/Place 1 Councilman Michael S. Hallman, Ward1/Place 2 Councilman Britt Thames and Ward 4/Place 1 Councilwoman Jenifer Champ Wallis, voted against the resolution tonight.
After the vote, Thames said he was in favor of the new rec center design plans but still felt he would have needed more time to vote for it.
"Even though I did not reach a comfortable level in order to vote in favor of this," Thames said as he spoke to the council, "I do feel that a lot of you have. Let's move forward."
Wallis said she respected the council members' decision in favor of the financing for the new building and was ready to move forward, but hoped that the rest of the council members respected her decision to vote against it.
Before the meeting adjourned, Hallman tried to read a couple of emails he had received from the community expressing concern over the resolution, but was denied the opportunity to do so on the premise that a decision had already been made.
"Like my fellow councilmembers," said Hallman, "I do not feel comfortable voting in favor of this resolution but do respect the majority opinion. I hope that in turn, you can respect ours."

The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from opponents of homosexual marriage who want to overturn the law accepting gay marriage in Washington, D.C.
The court did not comment Tuesday on why the challenge was turned away.
A Maryland pastor and others were trying to get a measure on the ballot to allow District of Columbia residents to vote on the definition of marriage as between a man and a woman.
Bishop Harry Jackson led a lawsuit against the district's Board of Elections and Ethics after it refused to put the initiative on the ballot. The board ruled it would in effect authorize discrimination.
Last year, Washington, D.C., began issuing marriage licenses for same-sex couples. In 2009, it began recognizing gay marriages performed elsewhere.Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, discussed Tuesday's ruling on the CBN News Channel's Morning News, Jan. 19.

Beginners: Think Before You Post
i dont want to start on anyone, and im not writing this post out of frustration. im just saying that every time i come onto the training section i always see the same new posts 'am i too old?' 'jogging' ' where to buy gloves' etc etc. and i just read a post about someone asking us to write up a schedule for him, even though he is part of a boxing gym. the best poeple to ask are from your own boxing gym, because they know how hard you work, your skill level etc.
also, for all you beginners, before you start new posts asking about which foot to put in front, stance, power, punching, all the basic S*** basically, make use the search tool to read up on it, or you could spend 15 minutes on the internet finding all the information out, because that way is much more time efficient for yourselves (since yo dont have to wait for users to reply to your questions, you can have the information given to you).
so before you post. think.
it still surprises me that some of you say that you attend boxing gyms, yet you ask the most basic of questions.

So, you register up and one of your very first post's your telling people not to ask for training advice ON A TRAINING ADVICE MESSAGE BOARD? what else are people supposed to ask on here where we get are car's oil changed at? if the questions being asked annoy you don't participate in the discussions simple as that there's no need to flame people for being curious about other peoples training habits

Why he would change his name is beyond me, the statement has validity. However, what are the questions that you would ask when entering a gym. You might have to ask which foot should go forward. Alot is attainable from simple observation, but in this internet gym sight is not always possible.
So Im bouncing around the ring, shadowboxing. A young kid climbs into the ring and raises his hands, trying to imitate the movements that I am doing. His young arms pumping out in akward motions as his eyes come alive in play. Quietly he moves towards me asks, "Which foot do I put first?"

When I have a look in here it does seem to be the same stuff a lot of the time...maybe there should be 'sticky' threads with answers to the more commonly asked questions. That way people will be less likely to ask the same qusetions over and over.

who gives a ****, if u dont like the post nobody tells u u gotta take part and theres enough room on here for everyone including ur posts. U should understand that there are people and kids here not on ur level and although they are basic questions they are not stupid if u dont know the answer. I know what ur saying but if someones gotta ask they should be able to without being in fear of lookin bad cause of u. They may have already used the search tool and internet to find out stuff but maybe they need to hear it from us too.

You should keep in mind that people would like to get as much information as possible, even if it means going to different sources outside their boxing gym.
I know me for instance have asked people how to execute a jab properly in the past (online on forums), and also few may remember about my post asking about sparring with a reach problem.
I asked that question on rossboxing.com too... i just want as much information as possible, and then applying it.

Most health-care professionals regret that some parents don't vaccinate children because of now-debunked reports of vaccines causing autism.
The situation also drives Emilio Emini nuts. One of Pfizer Inc.'s top vaccine researchers, Emini often works from Pfizer's facility in Collegeville.
"When someone says without a lot of evidence or any evidence that vaccines are associated with this, that, and the other thing and that leads parents to worry and not vaccinate their children, they leave their children at extraordinary risk," Emini said. "They leave the children of others at extraordinary risk as well because vaccines often work by population-based immunity."

decent car with some issues but a real workhorse
by Pontiac Lover from Trenton, ON | April 1, 2015
I have owned and sold 4 grand ams and they were great some flaws. Multifunction switch issue, the blown speakers and also head gasket issues if not maintained. But little car with lots of juice to 'er. Seats are comfy and handles nice too bad these are reproduced. Compared to the G6 this car is much more solid and more reliable. I love my current 2005 Grand Am SE modded to a GT!

Greatest car for anyone
by Grand am survivor from oklahoma,tulsa | July 29, 2013
Car has a great design on the outside, and a nice interior. I own a white version with black stripes gives it a nice look. Only thing I dont care much for is the fuel pump. Had to replace 3 times in 125,000 miles time. Drove a lot so thats an iffy. Probaly will drop another engine to make it last longer. Have to drive one to understand how it does.

So Much Bang for the Buck
by Avid Driver from | June 19, 2010
These cars tend to be under priced -- especially the ones with the 3.4L V6. The engine really can get the car to move, and the typical pontiac wide body design allows for incredible handling of that high performance. It's a little less organic looking than the cars that are hot today, but the styling is true to the raw power. An excellent car that I've loved.

Hidden problems revealed!!!
by Unsatisfied from Chicago, IL | November 9, 2009
I bought my car slightly used three years ago as my first car. It did really well up until recently. Pontiacs are very well known to have issues with their electrical systems, and boy did this one ever! There was an issue with the cars security system, it glitches and thinks the car is constantly being stolen which locks the cars engine and doesnt allow it to start. The part is a 500 dollar part, not including any labor, and on top of that, there is never any guarantee that it wont break again. Its actually a very common issue, I had to junk mine!!!

Why I Don't Believe My Daughters' Adoptions Were "Meant to Be"findingmagnolia
Over the weekend, we marked two months as Elvie's family. I've been working on the wall her crib is on, trying to get it just right since she won't have a whole nursery to herself. Last night when she fell asleep, I sat and looked at her in her crib, underneath the bunting with her name on it, next to the stuffed toys that are all hers. I marveled at how much her life has changed in the last two months, how much better things are for her now.
Elvie isn't sick anymore. She isn't so frail that I have to watch her chest rise and fall all night to reassure myself that she'll make it through until morning, though sometimes I do still wake up and look over at her, just to check. She has so much more than she had before. And yet, I would never say that all of this was meant to be. If someday she feels that, then that is hers to own, but as her parent, I don't have the right to say what is or is not meant to be about her life, and especially about something as complicated as adoption.
There has been a lot of talk in the adoptive community lately about Matthew Hutson's article Adoption, Destiny, and Magical Thinking. I knew it was fairly common for adoptive parents to tell their children that they were destined to be in their adoptive families, but I was dismayed that the article said that most adoptive parents believe this and pass this on to their children. Most? For the sake of adopted children and adoptive families, I certainly hope not.
It's not that I havent engaged in my own version of magical thinking in my own adoptions. In fact, I sensed that both of my daughters were coming before I actually saw their faces or knew their names. With Zinashi I had a dream, so vivid and alarming that I couldn't shake it, and I knew it had something to do with her, my someday daughter. When we learned her whole story, the dream and its timing suddenly made sense. With Elvie, I simply felt deeply sad for a few days, unconnected to anything, and felt strongly that it had to do with my next baby. The timeline in her case adds up as well, just like in Zinashi's. And yet, just because I felt a connection to them before I knew of them personally, does not mean that I feel that this whole thing was supposed to happen. Because saying that would imply that the great hurts my daughters have suffered were meant to be, and I absolutely don't believe that one bit.
One of the things that we aim to do as a parents is to allow our daughters to feel however they feel and not discount it, particularly about their own stories and hard beginnings, or the complications of having two families. We want to leave doors wide open for them to talk to us about what they are feeling and experiencing, so that we can help them or find appropriate help for them when they need it. We talk openly about both girls' adoption stories and have from the beginning. Elvie is too young to talk back, but Zinashi has all sorts of questions and feelings. If I were to tell her that it is simply meant to be that she is in our family, and everything in her life was simply leading her to be our daughter, I would invalidate some of what she is expressing to me. I would be telling her that her feelings of longing for her family in Ethiopia were somehow wrong, and they are not.
I am sorry that both of my daughters went through what they did before they joined our family. At the same time that I love them and cannot imagine life without them, I wish that we had never been needed. I wish that the world we live in were more just and that everyone would have enough food and medical care and all the things that we have that allow us to raise our daughters while their Ethiopian families can't. If I were to tell you what is truly meant to be, I would say that it would be that our daughters had never had to suffer, never had to leave their families, never had to be placed into the arms of strangers and make a new family. But this world isn't perfect, and we are privileged to be second best.
I don't say that last part to imply that we are somehow a lesser parents, but simply that while coming to our daughters was our first choice for how to build a family, it was not theirs. Maybe this wouldn't have even been their second choice, and that's okay. We hope that we can shower them with enough love that they will understand that we always have and always will want what is best for them and will help them get it. We hope that we can be a light on the way forward as they wrestle with their own stories and hopefully find peace. We hope that we can do the one thing that is meant to be in this situation, which is to love our daughters well and honor their lives and stories.

Prehospital organ recovery programs are implemented to supply transplantable organs. Rapid organ recovery ambulances are dispatched1 to trauma scenes to resuscitate and transport potential donors to hospital-independent procurement facilities.2 Jacobs et al3 may alternatively refer to such a procurement facility as a new facility. To facilitate organ recovery after trauma, it is essential to address (1) public concerns about accuracy of determining futility in prehospital or emergency department settings and (2) diverse cultural and religious values and beliefs about end-of-life care.

Can you define these popular missing words?
arena football is a very cool sport. it is like normal football except it is played on a 50 yard field with sideboards. the sideboards make for great fun because lots of people tend to run into them while trying to make a catch. It is also very fasted-paced and there are about 100 points scored between both teams on average
dude arena footbal is crazy awesome!
Alex Klein가 작성 2005년 05월 14일 (토)
Arena Football is like the NFL, only the stadiums are smaller, the players arn't as good, it dosn't nearly have as much strategy, they only usually pass the ball, it's not as exciting, there uniforms are ugly, and there is NO defence!
Announcer: Now it's time for arena football! Now the first team gets the ball passes it deep and it's a touchdown. OK now the other team gets the ball they pass it long and it's a touchdown. Now hears the kickoff he takes it in for a touchdown. Now the other team gets the ball they throw it long and it's a touchdown.

A stupid football league thats full of guys that can't make it in the NFL. Another sad attempt to match the NFL's great football league.

Football played indoors on a 50-yard field played in the Spring so men don't sit on the couch watching Golden Girls until College and NFL football return in the Fall.
I have tickets on February 5th for the Arena Football game in Orlando.

The gayest sport on earth made for football players who cant make it pro or have some kind of gimp the makes it impossible to run more than 50 yards. Also for shitty kickers who cant make it more than 50 yards

Jordan Jarrell Harris, who was stuck by a vehicle Monday afternoon, was in satisfactory condition Tuesday at Northwest Texas Hospital, according to a hospital supervisor.
Harris, 7, was taken to the hospital after the accident at 4:45 p.m. at the intersection of East 10th Avenue and South Roberts Street. He was struck by a van eastbound on 10th Avenue as he tried to cross the intersection, according to an Amarillo Police Department news release.
Harris was in critical condition after the accident, according to the news release issued Monday.
City to pave streets
In a few months several dirt streets in Amarillo will become asphalt.
City Commissioners approved contracts for paving select streets during Tuesday's meeting. Construction should begin in one or two months and be completed in five months, City Engineer Mike Kennedy said.
Street improvements include North Bivins Street, $167,725; South Williams Street, $93,406; Northeast Fourth Avenue, $34,690; South Hayden Street, $30,311; and North Bolton Street, $25,364.
Skinner's lawyers hope court will reverse ruling
Attorneys for death-row inmate Hank Skinner said Tuesday they are hopeful that the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals will reverse a ruling issued last week by 31st District Judge Steven Emmert tossing out Skinner's appeal in state court.
"It's up to the court of criminal appeals to decide what should be done in this situation," said Steven Losch, Skinner's co-counsel. "Our objective is simply to attain for Mr. Skinner what every other death-row inmate gets: a state and federal habeas revue of his case."
Skinner was sentenced to die in the 1993 stabbing and bludgeoning deaths of Twila Busby and her two sons - Elwin Caler and Randy Busby - in Pampa.

If I had to choose between them it would be tough it would of been Maths easily before I moved to secondary school and algebra came.
English by a mile now.

I like English more. Because it's good for your language.

December 29th, 2007, 5:14 AM
I'm good at Maths I guess. In the highest class. But Math takes much more effort in tests and exams and such, as for English, I just do all my assignments in the last day and I never study for exams but I'm still in the highest class.
I guess I like them both in equal length, so I voted liked them both. <3
December 29th, 2007, 5:45 AM
Englsh for me is much more easier and way more fun then Math is. Well my teacher makes English more fun then math.

English Literature ftw. I'm gonna end up hitting the bare minimum of math classes required to graduate, that's how much I suck. :(
December 29th, 2007, 9:35 AM
Argh, I hate English. :( I'm good at it, yes, but it's such a subjective course. If your teacher doesn't agree with your writing style or the opinions or ideas in your essays, you don't do as well. (It's not so much the second case if you can back up your ideas, but I still had teachers saying "well explained, but..." and taking marks off.) Plus I had a teacher once who marked everything so, so hard. What would be a 90 for any other teacher was suddenly a 75 for him. Needless to say, I more or less hated the course after that.
I love math though. Haha, I've done just as badly in Math as in English a few times, but my love for it has never diminished. :D It's just so much fun. ♥ I'm so glad I'm in university and I never have to take another English course if I don't want to, while taking all the math courses I want.
December 29th, 2007, 9:48 AM
English is the best!
Well, I actually like them both but I'm much better at English. (Best in my class ^_^)
But our English teacher is so boring... so I like Maths lessons much better, yea...

English -- it comes naturally to me and I just think it's fun. I don't dislike math, I'm just not as good at it or enjoy most of it as much. English involves reading, writing, and editing; three of my favourite things. I actually have a knack for several types of math, but have trouble getting steps in between to make things work. Like, I could get the right answer, but I will have no idea how to explain how I got it. ("It works!" "How?" "I don't know...it just fits in.")
English makes me happy. That's about all there is to it. <3

I'm like... BARELY passing Algebra. And I think it's cuz my teacher feels bad for me. =.=;
But I'm a huge spelling and grammar nerd/freak/Nazi/whatever the lingo is. If I'm friends with a person who "types lyke dis", it's cuz I was friends with them before I saw how they type. DDD:

I'm great at both, but Math is definitely better. In English you got to interpret and elaborate, but in Math there is only one clear cut answer. All you got to do is follow the rules and you get the answer. That's why Math pwns!!

Hmm not necesarily. At times there are infinitely many answers to problems, at least at the math Im doing
December 29th, 2007, 3:59 PM

In which case all you have to do is prove that and give a general statement about it. It's still a pretty clear cut answer. :P

Maths, without question.
I detest the subjective nature of English beyond basic grammar and spelling; you can have a technically sound essay, but like Erica said, if your teacher disagrees with your ideas, your writing style, or some other BS reason, you get marked off, sometimes severely. With maths, however, either you're right or you're wrong, and the reasons for every outcome are quite clear.
December 29th, 2007, 4:23 PM
That and if your institution is into giving partial marks, even if you don't get the right answer you can get solid marks for your method. Math = ♥.

Maths. It's so much easier for me doing Maths than English and things are generally logical and straightforward.
English gets too complicated later on and essay writing is a no-no for me. It takes too long and I seriously can never get a good essay written down without spending at least an hour concentrating on what to write.
Maths problems are more challenging and therefore, more fun. xD
December 29th, 2007, 5:41 PM
I like Math is more funner and better because for one, Math is my favorite thing from School and for two I would chose Math then English.
December 29th, 2007, 6:21 PM
English, most def. It's always been my best subject out of everything, and math has always been the subject I struggle with. More than half those things you learn in math you aren't gonna need in the real world..so I see no point in it. All those equations n stuff isn't relevant to me. Math is supposed to be dealing with numbers and counting, so I dont see why letters and alphabets and all that other stuff are needed. It's all just so stupid to me..whoever invented all those equations had no life and had nothing else better to do. I'm not saying math itself isn't important, because I know math is important. The only math that I would actually consider important is financial math and basic addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division. Not all that graphing scale, polygon, alphabet equation stuff. English just comes naturally to me..I was always a good speller and writer and stuff..so I guess that's why I prefer English..
(Sorry about the rant..I just HATE math >.<)
December 29th, 2007, 7:32 PM
sweetys i dont needs no english i speaks it! i prefer maths fer its teh awesome
Okie sweeties, enough of that. XD Anyway, yes I do prefer Math for it's my favorite subject. I can live without knowing what a preposition but I'll go crazy if I didn't that 8A - 26 = 64. ^-^
P.S. Sweeties, those values are in hexadecimal. 83
December 29th, 2007, 8:59 PM
I generally prefer English to Math, but it all depends on the teacher that you have. During the last part of the school year, I had an awesome substitute for Maths, and my English teacher was a horrible teacher throughout the whole duration of the year, so that altered my opinions on both of them. Also, in Maths I'm actually learning things now. Everything up to about last year (2006) is just revision of fractions, decimals and weight and the such that you learn in Year Two. Now that I'm learning something, it is a whole lot more fun, and now that English is moving away from fun things like Creative Writing and into studying horrible texts, I'm starting to lean towards Mathematics. I don't like doing Math-related work outside of school that much, but I love writing. It's hard to decide - I picked both.
December 29th, 2007, 9:20 PM
Math ftw!!!
What I like about math is its consistent, simple, and very easy to follow through, whatever you learned earlier, helps solve problems you learn later on, and makes much better sense as a learning curve.
Unlike English, its grammar, you have to follow and memorize certain rules for every damn little spectacle of details, as nothing follows. Writing essays can take a lot of thought and planning, and sometimes the teacher doesn't even give you the time to plan out the essay, and its has to be writen in class on the same day. Depending how anal the teacher is, is depended on you grade as well, because if you mess up once, YOU FAIL!!!
December 29th, 2007, 10:10 PM
What? No history option? I love history. It's the only class that taught me how to write. D:
That said, I have always preferred English over mathematics. There's just something about me that actually prefers sitting down with a book and finding the hidden meanings and symbolism and then writing about it. I hate math because if you're wrong and don't do things the way that they are taught, then heaven have mercy. But with English, just get involved in a good debate and you're right because you're not restricted by some rule somewhere.
I guess I like English because I'm more in control of the subject, rather than being under the control of rules. Grammar is fun, by the way.
December 29th, 2007, 10:49 PM

I also agree with you. I mean with math I'll be doing a problem and Im so sure I did it right I look over everything I do and....I get it wrong T.T
Then I do the problem again slower, so sure I got it right again....wrong T.T
There is an endles boundrary of what you can use in English solve a problem, math is to darn restricted D<
But I guess the way you answer this topic really has to do with you're thinking process. We all have different ways of thinking, some are good at finding hidden meanings while others are good for solving mathematical problems
December 30th, 2007, 11:54 AM
Right now, I hate them both. English seems to be my weakest subject at the moment and my college calc class was hell. D< Give me German anyday. It's all the fun of English class, but in another language~
Generally, I don't mind either of them. They each have their good and bad points. You think I'd like English more automatically because I'm a writer, but I wasn't very good with deeper anyalasis. :/

*nods* Math for the win. I have to say that I've never dealt with the sort of teacher that you have (that kind of person shouldn't be teaching, anyway), but I've had worse instead. I also absolutely despise research papers for various reasons...
Math, on the other hand, actually gives direct problems to solve, which I consider to be a more valuable learning experience. Oh, and they're a whole lot of fun in the process XD. Of course, I might be a little biased...*has been called a "walking calculator" on more than one occasion*

As for English you have to remember all these important things and the assignments are longer.

But because of all those nerve-wrecking Maths question, I had other thoughts. :)

January 2nd, 2008, 1:10 PM
I used to LOVE math but as I came into high school, things became harder. Now that I'm well into Geometry, I hate the subject with a passion. English, on the other hand, used to be my worst subject before I got into writing fanfiction. I haven't gotten anything below a B+ on any of my essays since the beginning of Sophomore year.

I fail at maths. T_T And yet it's my main subject. >_<
Althought I like Geometry. Two years ago, I was one of the best in our clas because of Geometry. Last year we didn't have any, so I'm hoping the best for next sem.

I prefer Algebra, my best subject; English is too weird hard for me. >[
January 7th, 2008, 8:11 PM
I really like both. Unfortunately, I never learn anything in English, as my grammar is generally way better than my teacher's , and the way we study texts like Romeo and Juliet is boring and sterile. :[ I'm not that great at Math, but I've come to love the subject. I get good grades in both, anyway. *shrug* I think numbers and words are both beautiful. I just dislike the subjectivity of English.

I hated English. It was one of my hardest subjects. All I wanted to do was to write stuff, but they would never let me.
Math was one of my stronger subjects. I constantly got good grades in there.

No contest!!
I like English more because I'm better at it! Not to mention I like to write!

I love Math! I am good in English, but really don't like writing long research papers! Those are the worst. And you got to do what the teacher wants...sometimes the topics that they pick are so boring. I wish I could pick my own topic to write about, then I have no problem. Math for the win!
So far I got as far to Intermediate Algebra to Calculus II. I can't really grasp Calculus II yet, but I will get it(the hardest math I ever experienced). Doesn't make me hate Math. Still love it. <3<3

Eugh, if I had to choose.
My dyslexia makes me lack high grades in English.
And english involves essays, for one type of assessment I loathe.
January 11th, 2008, 2:04 PM
English by too much.
Math needs to rot and die. We don't use half of the things we learn in math later in life. Except if you have one of those great paying jobs that you need a college degree that must of us 2nd classies don't want.
Or if your a math teacher xD;
Or if you like numbers xD;
January 11th, 2008, 2:13 PM
I speak English and still don't get punctuations,essays and peoms I can heardly spell a word that I didn't know the meaning to and I have no clue on how to interpret poems or write essays.Math all the way I know I'm passing and not too much homework.
*I had to look up about three words in the paragraph.

Usually English but since my teacher this term has the biggest ego and is an annoying little snot who is worshipped by all by the students in the class, I find math more tolerable, even if it is 8 in the morning and the few kids in there are total idiots and do no work. But hey, the teacher is nice, likes my anime work and is from TRANSYLVANIA!
^dont worry she hasn't sucked anyone's blood yet
January 13th, 2008, 3:31 AM
Maths, its one of my best along with Chem and Physics.
January 13th, 2008, 8:01 PM
Hm... I'm really good at them both, but I'll say English because Maths is always going to be the same, whilest with Englisg you never know what you're going to get.

I like English more than Maths, but I have to say I'm much better at Maths. I mean, ignoring the fact that I'm getting bad grades for my Maths AS-Level, I am better at it. In English, I'm simply horrible at analysing poems and stories and such.

English! <33 [/NeverEnding] I don't like Maths - at all. I think it is pretty interesting, it's just that I really suck at it and that's the reason I can't enjoy it. ^^' I've dropped the subject this year, though. I'm happy I was able to. (= English is one of my favourite subjects and I'm quite good at it. xD When you're good at something it's more simple to enjoy it! ^^

DEAR ABBY: My mother-in-law, "Shirley," is a dear, sweet, caring and generous person. Therein lies the problem.
Each time she comes to visit, she brings things for the apartment. "Jasper" (her son) and I live in a small renovated loft. We both prefer a minimalist look.
Shirley loves craftsy, cutesy, cottage and country-style things. The things she brings us look completely out of place in our apartment.
How do we convince her that, while she's entitled to her own preferences, they are not ours? - HATES DUST-CATCHERS IN N. C.
DEAR HATES: Your problem is common. The time to nip it in the bud is now, before the situation becomes any more awkward than it already is. You and Jasper need to have a frank, kind, face-to-face chat with Shirley and let her know that you love her and appreciate her thoughtfulness - but while some people regard empty space as a vacuum to be filled, others find it restful and serene.
DEAR ABBY: My best friend, "Ted," and I recently met an attractive girl I'll call "Bridget." Ted was married and suggested I date Bridget. Within a few days, before I got up the nerve to ask her on a date, Ted broke up with his wife, moved in with me and started seeing Bridget.
This was awkward, but in addition, Bridget started making sexual advances toward me. Unfortunately, I didn't have the wisdom to keep away from her. Although we didn't have sex, I was closer to her than I should have been to my best friend's girl. Ted knows about it, and now ensures that Bridget and I are never alone together.
I believe he wants to break up with her, but he's afraid I will date her. I agreed with his suggestion that we both stop talking to her, but they are still dating.
I think Ted and I both have strong feelings for her. What should we do? Neither of us can resist when she cries or wants something. - STUCK IN THE MIDDLE
DEAR STUCK: You are not helpless. Find your backbone, start using your head, and thank your lucky stars that Bridget "loves" Ted. If you were in his shoes, YOU would be the one constantly worried about who she was coming on to the minute your back was turned.
The best way I know to avoid temptation is to avoid tempting situations. In your case, that means spending as little time in Bridget's presence as possible.

CHAMPION - Mark Baker achieved his 100th career win as the girls' basketball coach at Newton Falls on Thursday.
It's safe to say that most of the first 99 wins were probably easier on his heart than was the 40-39 win over the Champion Golden Flashes in an All American Conference National Division game.
The Tigers (13-1 and 6-0 in the AAC) didn't get their first lead until Danielle King scored off an offensive rebound with 17 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. They trailed by nine points, 11-2, out the gate and spent the rest of the game in a catch-up mode.

Newton Falls' Alissa Abraham (12) steals the ball away from Champion's Emma Nicholas (34) during third-quarter action on Thursday.
Newton Falls coach Mark Baker is congratulated by his team after getting his 100th win Thursday against Champion.
"The kids certainly felt confident," Baker said. "I felt confident. At the beginning of the game we lost our composure a little bit, but after that they settled down, and in the second half I didn't see us lose our composure. The kids stayed true to what their game plan was and really executed it down to the end."
It wasn't like the Tigers lacked motivation. Anytime Newton Falls and Champion square off, there's a little extra tension. Added to that was the desire of the Tigers to get the 100th win for Baker.
"I've been looking forward to this all season," said junior Brooke Barreca, who scored 14 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for the Tigers. "We knew at the beginning of the season that we had to get his 100th win by the end of the season. The fact that it landed on Champion made it all that much better."
Baker clearly enjoyed the moment when the final buzzer sounded. He was surrounded by the players in a group hug.
"The 100th win brings back memories of kids I had in the past and kids I have right now," Baker said. "It's a tribute to my players. It's a tribute to my coaching staff. I give all the credit to those kids."
Baker wasn't able to breathe a little easier until King's fielder gave the Tigers a 40-38 lead. Newton Falls still had to deal with one more possession by the Flashes, who had a chance to tie the score when Mackenzie Kiser stepped to the foul line with 2.1 seconds remaining.
Kiser made the first of a one-and-one, but she missed the second shot. Champion was awarded the inbounds pass, but with a fraction of a second remaining there was nothing it could do to pull out the win.
The loss dropped the Flashes to 8-7 and 4-2 in the AAC. It's been rough for Champion coach Jeff Thompson of late. Darian Rogers recently suffered a season-ending ACL injury. Jordyn Skaggs was on crutches and wearing a walking boot earlier this week with an ankle injury, and Heather Shaver had a temperature of 101 degrees on Wednesday.
"Coming into today I knew I had lost Rogers," Thompson said. "I didn't know if Shaver and Skaggs were going to play today, and (Emma) Nicholas is trying to come back from a high ankle sprain. Based on who we had on the floor, they gave me their best effort."
The Flashes, who had a 34-31 lead entering the fourth quarter, stretched the lead to 36-31 on a layup by Kiser, who had 20 points and 12 rebounds. Barreca then connected on a fielder, and King, who had 10 points, made her second 3-point shot to tie the score.
Gabby Lamont, who finished with 13 points, put the Flashes ahead again with a jumper, but Barreca calmly made two free throws to knot the score at 38 and set up King's game-winning shot.
"We came from a tough win on Monday against Crestwood where we lost our composure a lot," Barreca said. "The past few days we've been working on keeping our composure. I thought we did very well at bringing it back together, and we pulled it out at the end."
Newton Falls plays LaBrae Thursday at home. Champion hosts Campbell Memorial the same night.

The elderly got a special treat for the holiday season.
The Lakeview High School Senior Beta Club traveled to the Cortland Nursing and Rehabilitation Center on North High Street on Dec. 4. Students awaited eagerly outside the nursing home to sing Christmas carols to the residents.
"It brings joy to my heart knowing that I can spread Christmas cheer with all of the elderly," said Amber McCollum, sophomore at Lakeview High School.

J.J. Mills dressed as Santa Claus, and Tyler Gilmore dressed as an elf.
Many of the students were dressed up in festive apparel such as Santa hats and Christmas ties. Tyler Gilmore, junior at Lakeview, dressed up in an elf costume, while J.J. Mills, also a junior at Lakeview, dressed up as Santa Claus, bag of presents in tow.
When the students entered the building, they were divided into three groups, which went to different areas of the nursing home to sing; each group had a single student to take attendance and two to lead songs. Two groups of students sang through the corridors and knocked on doors asking for song requests. Among the songs that residents could request were "O Come, All Ye Faithful," "Deck the Halls," "Silent Night," "Frosty the Snowman," "Silver Bells" and other Christmas classics. The third group performed in the lobby for residents wanting to sit outside of their rooms.
Angela Sarko, adviser of the club, said after each group sings a substantial amount, they rotate their designated singing positions until all groups have sang in each part of the home. Then, for a grande finale, all students sing together in the lobby.
"I think it gives the students a better understanding of the lives of the elderly," she said.
Sarko said a few years ago, one of the nursing home residents, Henry, who was confined to his bed, requested several songs from the group of students who gathered around his bed. When they finished, he told them how he once had to sing for hospital patients when he was in high school. He said he hated it.
"Now that he was confined to a bed, he said he would give anything to be young again and 'get to sing,'" Sarko said.
"He told them they didn't have to enjoy it, and they don't have to be good at it," she said. "But, they had to do it because being around young people is so important to the nursing home residents."

HASTINGS, MI – After wandering around town, two 8-year-old girls told the owner of an auto-repair shop they were hungry.
One of them had been left home alone, her mother out of state. The other was keeping her friend company, they explained.
Their story unraveled soon after Hastings police responded.
Police say the two skipped school on April 19 and went on a shoplifting spree. They hit at least four stores and Hastings Public Library and stole "pretty much everything that wasn't tied down," Hastings police Chief Jerry Sarver said.
The girls took about $250 in property, mostly small trinkets, craft items and food, along with several library books, police said.
It was around lunch time recently when the girls showed up at the repair shop. Concerned about their welfare, the shop owner called police.
One of the girls said her mother was out of state, and that a neighbor was supposed to check on her. The other girl said she was just looking out for her friend. After talking to the girls, police brought them to see Children's Protective Services workers for additional questioning.
There, investigators determined that the girls had actually skipped school that morning. The parents of one girl watched as they entered their elementary school.
The other girl's mother was out of state, but she was in the care of a friend who put the girl on the school bus that morning.
None of the parents knew of the girls' adventure until CPS called.
Sarver said that the girls might have gone unnoticed at the stores because they were so small.
"Neither girl appears to be a hardened criminal at 8 years old, but some counseling and punishment certainly appear to be in order."

Taxibeat App Lets You Choose Your Driver
The growing number of taxi apps offer what is basically an improved version of the way cabs have been booked for years. Instead of phoning a company and trying to describe your location, you use a smartphone with GPS to help the cab find you. Whether the driver who arrives is helpful or surly is a matter of luck.
Taxibeat offers something different. It was launched in May 2011 in Athens, where the company is based, and has been rolled out in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Oslo and Bucharest, and is now available in Paris, as Tech Crunch reports.
Taxibeat's smartphone app, available on iOS and Android, enables users to locate nearby taxis, hail the driver of their choice and rate them once the ride is over. It's targeting independent taxi drivers and those associated with taxi firms. Passengers using the free app get a much greater choice of taxi ride, right down to the individual driver, guided by user ratings and other information such as distance and amenities. For example, if you want to pick a five-star rated driver who is pet friendly and offers WiFi, Taxibeat lets you do just that.
For taxi drivers using the system, there are no setup fees or monthly subscriptions. Instead, Taxibeat charges a small commission on the business it brings, with no extra charge passed on to passengers.
Apparently, the app is having an effect on the quality of service. Normally there is no particular incentive for drivers to worry about whether customers are satisfied . With Taxibeat, the fares they get could depend on the reputation they earn.
Taxibeat was founded by Nick Drandakis (CEO), Nick Damilakis (senior iPhone developer), Kostis Sakkas (web services developer) and Michael Sfictos (design, UI/UX). Including investment in local subsidiaries, the company has raised just over €1 million.
Tech Crunch reports that Taxibeat is giving away free rides worth up to €15 in Paris up until Dec. 20, which coincides with Le Web conference. The offer is open to anybody sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon got a big boost this week, and with it, so did the ecology of Northwest art museums.
On Thursday, the museum chose Jill Hartz as its new executive director, filling a position that's been vacant for 17 months. Then, today, the academic art museum announced a $1 million gift from the Coeta and Donald Barker Foundation. The gift will be used to fund exhibition programming at the museum, including its major offering later this year in honor of its 75th anniversary: an exhibit on the Cuban avant-garde opening Oct. 4.
Robert Melnick, a member of the museum's search committee and interim director for the past 17 months, said Hartz was selected from a national search of candidates across the country. The applicants, he said, worked at a broad range of generalist and academic institutions. The 57 year-old Hartz, who has been the director of the University of Virginia Art Museum for 10 years, won the job because of her 20 years of museum experience but especially because she understood the service-oriented role of academic museums within a university system.
Still, within that educational context, Melnick says he expects Hartz to bring challenging, contemporary programming to the museum, which has often been historical in nature.
"I would love to see more contemporary work -- hence the Cuban show," says Melnick. "Jill will bring that to us."
Previously, Hartz worked in public relations at various private companies and universities. Her 10 years at the small Virginia museum has been her defining executive-level museum experience.
Hartz's hiring comes at a crucial moment for the Oregon art museum completed in 1932. It's had difficulty sustaining momentum and finding a direction since its historic $14.2 million expansion in 2005.
"We need to reconnect and expand our support in the Northwest," says Melnick, who replaced David Turner, who left the museum in 2007. "When people say that, they mean donors. We need donors plus."
The museum has a $7.5 million endowment, with about 12,000 works in its permanent collection and a staff of 20. But only two of those staffers are curators and they work part-time. Both the endowment and curatorial and educational programming, says Melnick, need to be increased if the museum wants to fulfill its ambitions of being a vital community resource at the state's major university.
Hartz is expected to start her new job in August.
The $1 million from the Barker foundation is the latest gift to the university from the late Barker couple. Donald Barker graduated from the university law school in 1942 and had been an active patron until his death in 1980.Coeta Barker died in 2005.
The museum will celebrate the $1 million gift and the dedication of a newly named Coeta and Donald Barker Gallery tonight. The current show at the gallery features work by master of fine arts graduates from the university's School of Architecture and Allied Arts.

good afternoon all - well just to report..... I suspected that the MCT oil has been the cause of my insomnia since I started it about 8 days ago..... so.....yesterday I had coconut oil instead and......YES I slept like a babe last night. I am adamnant that the MCT was giving me too much of a buzz. So anyway I just wanted to post that info, in case others are experienceing the same problem
keep at it

Last edited by NZ primal Gwamma; 01-16-2013 at 05:21 PM. Reason: wrong time of the day !!!!
"never let the truth get in the way of a good story "
...small steps....
It might have been something else, and I will possibly try again - another day, just to prove to myself...... but not today !!! LOL
"never let the truth get in the way of a good story "
...small steps....
So, MCT oil would be good in the early AM -- in lieu of coffee maybe?
I'm going to nose-hold and do cod liver oil (cuz I know it's good for me) and coconut oil.
And, i'm going to see if it naturally decreases my calories. So far today I've had:
Breakfast: 3 eggs in butter; cucumber/bell pepper with olive oil, salt, and pepper (salad style). small apple.
Dinner: fish and BAS is on the tap for tonight.
Because I get really hungry (and cranky) after yoga class and before dinner, I decided to oil-up before yoga class (5:30). So, I'll stop drinking tea at 4:20, do the oil at 5:20, and then be home by 7 for dinner.
Our new IF window is 12-8 on Mon-Thurs, and then 11-7 on Fri-Sun. Just suits our schedule better.
so reporting in.. I took my first dose of refined coconut oil this early afternoon and had my normal dinner at around 4:30,, Fully expected to have the munchies around 7-8 but nada, nothing, now it's almost bed time and I don't feel stuffed or anything just not hungry, I guess the word is satisfied and rather calm. Could be a placebo I s'pose so I will keep track diligently and see what happens. I am only going for once a day to start with and I only did 1 T of oil. That way I can adjust as needed.
Reporting in -- another .4lb drop today so I'm at a total of 3.9lbs lost. I'm very close to my stall point so it will be interesting to see over the next few days if the SLD "trick" will help push me past the stall point.
Are any of you also lifting weight? I'm lifting 2x a week. My legs and arms are getting big. My pants are getting tight. I don't think it is fat. I wonder if maybe having a better ability to fast is promoting muscle growth for me.
Female, 5'3", 50, Max squat: 202.5lbs. Max deadlift: 225 x 3.
I haven't dropped yet but I'm at the end of my TOM and Tuesday was my lifting day which usually causes a slight gain for a day or so. I have felt the calm and the lower appetite. I find it odd though that I seem to be eating the same amount of calories at the end of the day even though I feel like I'm not as hungry and I'm eating less. Perhaps just the difference between choosing to eat less because that is what my body feels like vs. forcing it because I'm telling it that is all I'm allowed to eat, yet in the end calories are the same...
This has been an interesting thread and I'm going to give it a try. I do have a couple questions, so I encourage any feedback/thoughts.
I'm a 48 year old Female who is pretty close to my goal weight. I put on a few pounds while on vacation in St. Lucia. I am currently at 154lbs, and would like to get back to 145lbs. However, I'm not sure that 'weight' is really relevant now because I'm focused on body recomp.
I recently began Crossfit and I lift heavy 2x per week, and plan on moving to 3x per week. Since starting Crossfit, my appetite on lift days has increased substantially.
Prior to crossfit, I was restricting to 1200 calories daily (70F; 20P; 10C). However, my trainer/coach laughs and says that I need to eat substantially more food if I want to gain muscle. So, I increased my intake, and now I'm back up to 154lbs from 145lbs. I've gained an inch on my waist (from 27" to 28"). I'm afraid of eating too much and losing all the ground I've made, but my knowledge base tells me that I need to eat more to gain muscle/body recomp and I should trust in the process and not worry too much about the scale. Hmmmmm, easier said than done.
I want to try this oil consumption because I'm fascinated by it, but I'm also wondering if I will be undermining my efforts of gaining muscle by curbing my calories.
I'd appreciate thoughts on my dilemma. ps. Our crossfit gym has a 2-hour, primal nutrition seminar on Sunday which I'm looking forward to. Also, my crossfit coach is primal and she is strong as an ox, and as tiny as thumbellina. How does that work????
Thanks, everyone/Lu
Start Date: 25-06-12 @ 161lbs
Goal Reached: 30-09-12 @ 143lb. Now bouncing between 145lb - 149lb. I'd like less bounce and more consistency :-)
Started Cross Fit 20.12.12 ---- Can't wait to submit my success story on the 1st anniversary of starting primal.

Fossil supervolcano in Italian Alps may answer deep mysteries around active supervolcanoes
There's nothing subtle about the story told by the rocks in northern Italy's Sesia Valley. Evidence of ancient volcanic activity is all around, says geologist and volcanologist James Quick, Southern Methodist University, Dallas.
But the full story is much less obvious, said Quick, who led an international team that in 2009 announced they had discovered a 282-million-year-old fossil supervolcano in Sesia Valley. Continue reading

Fossil supervolcano discovered in Italy by SMU-led team is now key feature of new UNESCO Geopark
"It is a rare event that geology is a catalyst of public cooperation and celebration," says SMU geologist and volcano expert James E. Quick. The new Sesia-Val Grande Geopark is an example of just that, says Quick, whose international team in 2009 discovered a fossil supervolcano that now sits at the heart of the new geopark. The discovery sparked worldwide scientific interest and a regional geotourism industry. Continue reading
National Geographic: Volcano Pictures: First Descent Into a Magma Chamber
Science journalist Ker Than writes on the April 8 Daily News blog of National Geographic about the first-ever scientific expedition into a volcanic magma chamber, citing analysis from SMU volcanologist James E. Quick, a professor in the Huffington Department of Earth Sciences.
Quick, who was not part of the expedition, said, the magma channels the team discovered appear to be "beautiful textbook examples of how magma can be transported laterally in the Earth's surface and stored in shallow chambers."
"Magma chambers supply the molten rock that oozes or bursts onto the Earth's surface during an eruption," wrote Than.

SMU rises in Carnegie Foundation research classification to 'high research activity'
The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has raised SMU's classification among institutions of higher education, reflecting dramatic growth in the University's research activity since it was last measured in 2005.
SMU is now categorized as a research university with "high research activity," a significant step up from its last assessment in 2005 as a doctoral/research university. The Carnegie Foundation assigns doctorate-granting institutions to categories based on a measure of research activity occurring at a particular period in time, basing these latest classifications on data from 2008-2009.
"SMU's rise in the Carnegie classification system is further evidence of the growing quality and research productivity of our faculty. We are building a community of scholars asking and answering important research questions and making an impact on societal issues with their findings," said SMU President R. Gerald Turner.
