I'm 5'7 and i feel pretty short at times, especially when I go out and girls are wearing heels! I just feel awkward because some girls are like 5'3-5'6 barefoot but in heels they're 5'8-5'11! Do girls also feel awkward if they tower over a guy while wearing heels, or would you still give him a chance?
Most Helpful Girl
Extra height is a bonus for me, but there are so many other factors that go into whether or not you like someone. However, I honestly would feel kind of awkward being taller than my date. I'm really sorry but that's the truth for me. As long as he's the same height or taller than me, I'm good. Also, if I was going out with a date who was on the shorter side I either wouldn't wear heels or I would wear small heels so that I wouldn't be taller. What matters more is the height difference when I am barefoot.10|10|0

Here's my situation:
I need to set up a listserv. Needs to have external addresses, so I can't just use my Exchange (2010) server and set up a distro list.
I also can't set it up to just use Mailman off of my web server, unless I can figure out some way to make the mail (to all sorts of "listname" and "listname-request" and whatnot addresses) come in to the Exchange server and then get sent back out to the Mailman.
I just don't see a way to do that and still have an email that is email@example.com
So I tried setting up a subdomain at lists.domain1.org but that didn't work because mailman wanted to put its admin pages at "lists.lists.domain1.org" and got 404s because it had actually put them at "lists.domain1.org" - it doesn't seem to like the subdomain. I tried setting up redirect using .htaccess and mod_rewrite to make it send "lists.lists" to just "lists" but couldn't get that to work either. The email side of things worked great, but I couldn't use the auto-generated links in the admin emails to actually go to admin requests without having to manually rewrite the URL.
The other idea that I suppose I'm going to have to try is to use something like 'mailman.domain1.org' and see if it then actually uses the URL 'lists.mailman.domain1.org' and it actually works. Which I somehow doubt...
Something in me is just saying "scrap it and set up a new domain2.org and put Mailman on there and be done with it" except that the user that wants the list also wants it to have a domain1.org email address.
KILL ME. Or help me.

It wasn't DNS, it was a problem with how Mailman set up its default directory structure. I gave up and just set up a google group instead.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
Enjoy mountain living in a charming, cozy historic log cabin with modern amenities: a fully equipped galley kitchen (with microwave and dishwasher), claw foot tub with shower, river-rock fireplace, WI-FI, DVD Player, and Telephone. Picnic area by the creek with a gas grill. Private and beautiful setting nestled in the Ponderosa trees, but walkable to all the amenities of Allenspark.
Greenbrook sleeps up to four in two bedrooms plus has a child-sized loft for children of grade school to middle school ages (they must climb up a ladder to reach loft).The master bedroom has a queen-size bed; the second bedroom features a 3/4 full (antique bed) which can sleep 2 (one more comfortably!).
Walk to our mountain village boasting a five-star restaurant, two cafés, horse stable, art gallery, and gift shop. Hike in nearby National Forest and Park. We are 20 minutes to Estes Park; 30 minutes to main entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park. Wild Basin/the southern entrance to RMNP is five minutes away.
This lovely cabin has been in our family for many years and we invite you to enjoy a mountain getaway in a great location! Please see our other property listing, The Copeland Institute, #389468; Greenbrook is the perfect additional cabin for extra guests for your family gathering or small wedding setting!
Keywords: cabin, rustic, mountains, front range, colorado, charming, family, couples
We just recently returned from a 9 day trip to RMNP and spent the first 6 nights at Greenbrook while we day hiked all over the east side of the park. I had debated staying in Estes Park, but after leaving our quiet little spot in Allenspark and driving through the crowded Estes Park streets, I'm so GLAD we stayed at Greenbrook!!! We drove the 10 minutes to the Wild Basin area for several hikes there (I HIGHLY recommend the Lion Lake trail) and also took at short stroll on the Mt. St. Vrain trail right down the road (and up another dirt one) from Allenspark.
One night my husband and I left our teenagers to fend for themselves and splurged on dinner at The Fawn Brook Inn, practically across the street from the cabin. The food and atmosphere was superb but the hummingbirds buzzing throughout the flowers in the front made the evening even more unique. We felt like we were in some kind of enchanted garden. 😉
Our daughter stayed in the second bedroom and our 14yr old took the loft where he had PLENTY of room. Two middle school aged kids could easily sleep in that space....or even 3 grade school kids (as long as one didn't roll around a lot). While he couldn't stand up completely to change clothes, he had plenty of space to stretch out. The other two bedrooms were private and quiet - as was the whole cabin. We could catch glimpses of other homes through the trees but still felt completely alone in the woods with a babbling brook nearby.
The drive into Estes Park and the Beaver Meadows entrance took about 20-30 minutes. If you're traveling in the summer I would recommend early starts to those more popular trails. Parking is usually full by 9am, but by driving early in the morning we not only avoided traffic on the roads, but we were also treated to bear, moose and multiple elk sightings.
Greenbrook was clean, comfortable and stocked with all the necessities to cook a good meal after a day on the trails. A binder is provided with additional information about the area. I'm glad we were mindful of the instructions to not keep groceries in the car. One morning there were large bear prints outside and an overturned (but safety locked) garbage can. While I know it's a minor annoyance for people who live in Allenspark, for us it just added to our fabulous adventure!!
I would recommend this cabin to a friend and we would definitely stay here again!!!
We thought our destination was Rocky Mountain National Park, and that Greenbrook would be a nice place to stay. We found out our destination was Greenbrook, and RMNP was a nice side trip. The cabin is comfortable and beautiful, full of surprises and lovely furnishings. We spent a lot of time on the front porch watching the squirrels and birds play and the wind stirring the aspens and singing in the pines. There is also a pretty little creek that flows along beside the property which murmurs prettily. It was hard to say goodbye when it was time to go. p.s. We also recommend the riding stable in Allenspark.
We were looking for a quiet, comfortable, peaceful place to relax. We found it at Green Brook Cabin! We felt at home as soon as we walked in the door. The cabin is located in the quaint little town of Allenspark, but because of the way it is situated, and the surrounding vegitatation you have the feeling of being far away from the world. The furnishing are comfortable, the bed was as comforable as our bed at home. Even though this is a historic cabin, there is plenty of hot water for showers, adequate heating and lighting. There are fluffy towels, a great shower and plenty of firewood. The cabin is stocked with many games to play, puzzels to put together, and books to read. We were glad to have the washer and dryer, as we got caught in a rain/sleet storm one day while hiking, it was nice to have a way to clean up our muddy clothes. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals, so you don't have to eat out. There is also a gas grill if you want to cook out. We could have spent every day staying at the cabin just relaxing, but our goal was to hike as many trails in RMNP as we could. Of the 8 days we were at the cabin we hiked 6 days. The cabin is located very close to the Wild Basin area of the park with many nice trails to great waterfalls. We also took the beautiful 20 minute drive up to the north entrance of the park a couple of days to hike more trails. Our one visit into Estes Park made us so glad we decided to stay in Allenspark. Too much traffic, and too many tourists for our liking. If you are looking for a peaceful, tranquil, comfortable place to get away we strongly suggest Green Brook Cabin. There was only 2 of us, but there is also another bedroom as well as a loft. The loft would be a great place for kids to stay. If you are into birding this is also a great place to see many brids. There is a couple of local restaurants within walking distance that are very good. We found the people in town to be very friendly and helpful. The next time we visit RNMP we will definitley be staying a Green Brook Cabin. Mike and Michele were very helpful answereing all of our questions about the area and things to do. We had a wonderful adventure and made to some memories during our visit to this beautiful piece of heavan.
We've gone the past 7 years to Estespark Colorado and rented cabins everytime. This year we went 20 minutes south os Estes to allenspark. It was well worth the money for the short drive. Greenbrook is the size of a small house. Full kitchen, full bath, 2 bedrooms, loft, decent sized living room with real fireplace, grill in back, and covered front deck. Greenbrook is a real old log cabin. Small creek maybe a foot deep at the most, provided great sound for sleeping at night. Although you are right "in town" the trees and bushes in front of the cabin make you feel miles away. Maybe 4 cars a hour come down the road. You are less than a football field away from 2 great mom and pop resturants, a horse stable, the post office and a bar on rt. 7. Five minutes to the wildbasin lodge and rmnp entrance. 20 minutes to Estes, 25 to lyons. I can't say enough how happy were to find it. My kids actually called it home by the end of the week.

Visited this mega hotel for the second time to spend a week with my husband in June (sorry for the late review). The hotel is huge and shiny with a mass of features. Check in is pleasant, seated at a table with welcome drinks.
Although our room was perfectly maintained with a large bathroom with everything you would expect the style could do with a refresh, but this is merely cosmetic. The room was large with a balcony from which both the coloured "dancing waters" fountains and sea could be seen.
Breakfast was good and had a large variety. A choice f rooms to sit in, or terrace- depending on the time/day waiters for tea/coffee could be a little slow but we never had to wait for too long.
The pool is large with plenty of loungers, if you come down late can be hard to find some but we always succeeded even at 12/1pm. The beach is large and well organised and has divine pavilions to hire at the private end with full food and drink service to them- delightful.
Dinner is served in either the hotel' s a la carte retaurants, "Fishbone" is a beautiful setting and had wonderful food, or in the main restaurant. The buffet can be a bit samey but there is so much choice it's not too much of a problem. Desserts do run out a bit and the hotel could do with making more so if you have a sweet tooth be early! Loads of fresh fruit, strawberries and cherries included.
Staff bring freshly made melon juices onto the beach along with fruit punnets and frozen fruit and sandwiches throughout the day and ice-creams around the pool. There is a daily "food court" ope all day where you can help your self to a mass of food and an afternoon coffee shop/patisserie where you can enjoy coffee and cakes in a mock French street under artificial Thunder and lightning.
Each evening there is a show in the hotels amphitheatre, the two we saw were both reasonably good. Later in the evening entertainment moved into the bar where a DJj blared out full volume euro-pop, wrong location, wrong volume, it would be nice to have an open air bar where you weren't deafened. The only bad thing about the trip.
Once again we had a great trip.

An elephant cake fits right in at a birthday party with a circus theme or jungle theme, or for a kid who simply adores pachyderms. Cartoonlike elephants with simple features are most appropriate for children's birthday parties and easiest to translate to confectionary form. Style options vary from basic two-dimensional cakes that even beginner cake decorators can make to elaborate three-dimensional elephants best suited for advanced skill levels.
Elephant-Shaped Cake Pans
Elephant-shaped cake pans are molded to include all the basic elephant features. The features are baked onto the cake, working like a grown-up paint-by-numbers guide for novice cake decorators. Spray these pans generously with baking spray to prevent sticking and loss of detail. After baking, cooling and removing the cake from the pan, a light coat of buttercream frosting applied to the finished cake seals in crumbs without concealing the elephant features. This type of cake is typically decorated with buttercream frosting applied with a star decorating tip or spread smooth with a spatula. Tint the buttercream with gel food coloring to make the desired colors. Start with the outline; fill in the small details, such as eyes; and finish by filling in the larger body features.
Two-Dimensional Picture Elephant
Image transfer techniques make it possible to add a two-dimensional elephant picture to a cake without any drawing talent. Place a piece of waxed paper over a mirror image of an elephant picture. Create the image using buttercream frosting in your choice of colors. After tracing the outline, decorate the features in the foreground and layer the larger features over top. To make elephant eyes, for example, pipe on the black iris dots first, surround the dots with the desired eye color and layer white on top so that, when flipped, the irises appear on top. When finished, spread a thick layer of the cake base color over the entire area. Place the waxed paper in the refrigerator for several hours to freeze the frosting. Flip the image over onto the cake and peel away the waxed paper.
Round Cake Cutout Elephant
An 8- to 9-inch-round layer cake serves as the body for this type of elephant cake. Cut off a wedge across the cake, about 2 inches up from the bottom. Cut out a U-shape at the center of the flat bottom edge, extending about one-fourth of the way up the cake. The resulting gap separates the elephant's two legs. Use the U-shaped piece and bottom cake trimmings to shape the trunk and tail. Cover the cake with your choice of tinted buttercream or fondant icing. Cut out a wide teardrop-shape piece of fondant or fruit leather for the ear; position it at the center of the cake. Use a circle of fondant or a round candy for the eye. Finish with pieces of fondant or fruit leather to resemble four painted toes on each foot.
Three-Dimensional Elephant
Serve a large birthday party and impress all the guests with a large three-dimensional elephant cake. Stack a half-sphere cake atop an 8-inch-round cake with a layer of buttercream frosting in between. Trim the cake into an even mound shape using a serrated knife; cover the mound shape with frosting or fondant in your choice of color. Shape four rectangular legs from loaf cakes or marshmallow crispy treats. Shape the head and trunk from marshmallow treats. Position the legs and head around the cake torso -- the placement determines whether the elephant is lying down or sitting upright. Insert a dowel down through the base cake to support the head for an upright elephant. Cover each piece with the same fondant or frosting used for the torso. Create the remaining features -- ears, eyes and toenails -- with fondant or buttercream frosting.

Really. Journalist Richard Harding Davis called the 1893 World Columbian Exhibition "the greatest event in the history of the country since the Civil War." Almost 28 million people visited the fair at a time when the US population was only about 65 million.
Everything about the show was exotic and emmense. It occupied over a square mile and filled more than 200 buildings. One exhibit hall had enough interior volume to swallow the US Capitol, the Great Pyramind, Winchester Cathedral, Madison Square Garden, and Saint Paul's Cathedral all at once. One woman walked 1300 miles from her home so she could see it all. Other people arrived on the more than 2000 trains that passed through Chicago daily.
Never before had so many of history's famous people gathered in one place: Buffalo Bill, Susan B. Anthony, Clarence Darrow, Houdini, Scott Joplin, George Westinghouse, Thomas Edison, Henry Adams, Nikolas Tesla, Woodrow Wilson, Diamond Jim Brady, Teddy Rooseveld, Phillip Armour, Lillian Russell, Marshal Field, Frank Lloyd Wright.
At the fair they tasted a new snack called Cracker Jack and new breakfast food called Shredded Wheat. Elias Disney worked as a carpenter building the fairgrouds, and years later regailed his young son Walt with tales of the magical realm. A young engineer named Ferris built the main attraction, a huge wheel capable of thrilling 2000 people at a time in enclosures the size of train cars. For opening day Francis Bellamy, editor of Youth's Companion magazine, penned a short dedication for kids across the country to recite in unison. It began, "I pledge allegiance to the Flag and to the Republic for which it stands. . . ."
If you'd like to know more, there's a fascinating 2003 bestseller The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America. It's an engrossing (and occasionally gory) history of the fair that reads like a novel.

Fill a pitcher or watering can with water, making sure beforehand that the soil on the plant is completely dry and is in need of watering. Make sure there is no water in the gathering tray at the bottom of your pot.
Pour the water evenly and gently all through the bottom of the plant until completely soaked.
Use a steak knife to cut away any drooping or dead leaves that have gathered towards the bottom of the plant.
Tips & Warnings
- If you'd like to add extra 'oomph' to your aloe vera plant, add a cactus food to it occasionally as you water.

We on the other hand are trying to share methods ands approaches that are tried and true. Not methods that one person used and it seemed to work for them,
but that you can find dozens of people who used the exact same method only to have it basically undercut their quits. We are trying to highlight the methods
that enhances the vast majority of members and even ex-smoking non-members overall success.
It is not that we are not against newbies offering support, but just that they should hang around a while first, read all of our philosophies and try to
understand what we are doing here and why we have some of our guidelines in place.
If a person has a difference of opinion with our technique, which is basically quit cold turkey, don't carry cigarettes and never take another puff,
they should not post about it on the board. If they want to discuss it with management, we can each be emailed and we will explain why we don't advocate a
specific piece of advice. Or maybe we will see your point and modify our approach.
But if a new member reads it in their first days of a quit, before we have a chance to point out the pitfalls, they may think that this advice is accepted
strategy for enhancing smoking cessation. The fact is for most people, if the advice in contradictory to our basic premise, it is probably going to be
counterproductive to the person's quit. People just quitting who are hanging on for dear life will often grasp onto things that are written in our posts
and responses. The addiction would love to get some support from a basically bad piece of advice that makes the potential for relapsing seem a bit easier.
Also, we need to keep focused on the real danger of the buddy system. The buddy may have the best advice in the world, and the other buddy may really count
on the person to get them through thick and thin. But there is no guarantee that the buddy will be available when needed or worst, there is no guarantee that
the buddy won't be a smoker next time contacted. Stranger things have happened.
Count on yourself first. You can count to some degree on the group after that, but there have even been times where due to technical difficulties the whole
group disappears all at once. Again, that is where counting on yourself is paramount. Print out your own reasons for having initially quit. Print out materials
here that struck a personal chord helping you at a critical moment. Have alternative resources of support established. But don't count on one individual,
no matter who they are. The stakes are too high to gamble on one person helping you when he or she may not be able to do this for him or herself.

The first time that I ever thought that stopping smoking was a realistic option, happened two years ago when I
found a book at a second hand bookshop on how to stop smoking.
Some of the wisdom found on our site is also in the book - take it one day at time, etc.
However, a key to quitting from the books author's perspective was that it was essential to always keep
your usual pack of cigarettes with you.
The logic was that by not having it available, it brings on a sense of deprivation (and even a sense of
rebellion and we smokers are experts at being rebellious!) - and when one cant have something, you want it even more. So differently to the macho arguments of
being "stronger than the cigarette" this was saying accept the addiction, keep the cig with you.
Needless to say I didn't manage one day quit - instead this method saved me the hassle of having to bum a
I am thankful to this book as it was the start of giving me hope that perhaps I too can find a way to stop smoking. From there I explored other alternatives
until I came home to Freedom.
I was beginning to despair that I would be the last smoker on earth still smoking to the bitter end.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
There are only two governing persons - the other person and me.
The prior answer is correct, in the absence of an operating agreement (with specific provisions that govern these types of situations) Washington's LLC statutes will control. Depending on the circumstances there are multiple routes you can take to "remove" the other member of the LLC. You can offer to buy out his interest or you can dissolve the company. Depending on the other member's willingness to dissolve the company, you may be forced to seek a judicial dissolution, see http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=25.15.275 for the statute that governs this type of dissolution. Essentially, if it is not reasonably practicable to carry on the business or there is another equitable reason to dissolve the company, then you can seek a judicial dissolution and the courts can force the company to dissolve. Typically where there are two owners of a business that cannot agree how to run the business (i.e. a deadlock in management), you can force a dissolution of the company.
The best route for you will depend on a variety of factors as well as the particular circumstances you are dealing with. You should consult a business attorney to discuss the particulars and see what your best options are. Good luck!Ask a similar question
In the absence of an operating agreement, the laws of the state where the entity was created will control and usually provide a basic framework for you to proceed. You'll need to consult the statutes, or preferable obtain assistance from a business/transactional attorney who knows them for guidance.

Before you spend a lot of time and money seeking a judicial dissolution of the LLC, you should consult with an experienced business attorney.

Our Safe Kids Initiative protects LGBTQ youth in California. By passing legislation that supports LGBTQ youth, and engaging in trainings, teach-ins and empowerment workshops at local schools and homeless shelters, we are changing laws, hearts and minds to make our communities safe for young queer and trans people.
Canvass for a Cause is educating the public about issues affecting the LGBTQ community, especially houselessness. We have had over one million conversations with the public about LGBTQ issues in California. Right now, we are building support for our new program, The Syra Project. This project provides safe housing, food, and transportation for the transgender community in San Diego.
Right now, the transgender community is particularly at risk for homelessness, violence, and suicide. 29% of transgender people have been denied access to a shelter, and over 50% of transgender people have been assaulted in a shelter. Transgender women of color experience disproportionately higher rates of discrimination, oppression, and violence compared to other transgender and cisgender people. Our youth are also suffering. LGBTQ students drop out of high school at triple the national rate and 42% of homeless youth identify as LGBTQ. With unsupportive communities and unsafe schools and shelters, LGBTQ individuals are denied the chance to succeed.

Playa del Ingles is the largest resort in Gran Canaria and is mainly used by tourists. The resort appeals to many young groups of 18-30's and young couples who are looking for a lively holiday where they can relax all day and stay up all night. The beach in Playa del Ingles is full of fine, golden sand and calm, clear waters. There are many loungers and parasols for you to use, but get there early if you want a good spot. There are a few hotels in Playa del Ingles, however the resort is actually full of apartments and villas. The villas and apartments are mainly 2-3-star and offer a self-catering board basis. All of the accommodation has a good number of facilities and all have pools.
laya del Ingles is full of activities for people of all ages to try. The resort is very popular with people who enjoy water sports and you can try windsurfing, scuba diving, deep-sea fishing, snorkelling and riding on a banana boat. If you prefer land activities then there is golf, horse-riding, tennis and roller skating. The best entertainment during the day can be found in the amusement parks and water parks in the nearby resorts of Puerto Rico and Maspalomas. Boat trips are very popular as you can go out and spot dolphins or go on a glass bottom boar and see what marine life there is below you. Booze cruises are also available and you will find that the boat does stop for a few hours so that you can jump off the back and go for a swim.
Playa del Ingles is home to many restaurants offering a wide variety of various cuisines. You will find a lot of seafood in the resort as well as Italian, English, Canarian and Chinese. On top of this you will find many American fast food restaurants such as McDonald's by the seafront. There are many bars and clubs in the resort that are open until dawn, offering various styles of music. Many hotels also have nightclubs and put on entertainment shows in the evening. You will find many shops in the resort selling souvenirs, clothing, jewellery and electronic goods. If Playa del Ingles is not enough for you, then a bus into other resorts such as Las Palmas may be good for you. The bus service is very reliable and offers a good rate on the fares, as do the taxis.
Playa del Ingles is located in the south, meaning it sees the best of the weather. It is very dry and hot in Playa del Ingles with very little rainfall. The summer temperatures are around 28°C in August and September, with January and February still reaching over 22°C. There is rarely any rain in the south as it is so warm and dry. The north will see most of the rain, however the winds from the north do sweep down to the south, however this is welcomed as it keeps the temperatures stable. The rain normally falls between December and February but you still tend to get around 7 hours of sunshine a day. In the summer you will get around 12 hours of sunshine a day so there is plenty of time to have fun in the sun.

"Aiden, Kaya, Jaden and Kira Wong!!!" Rika Wong shouted towards the door of her childrens' rooms. Her husband, Henry Wong, who was standing right beside her, was already closing his ears with his hands. "Come oiut right now!!!"
"Do we have to come?" moaned Aiden Wong, the eldest, as he came out of his room. "We have nothing to do there, Mum!"
"Aiden's right," said Kaya Wong, the second child born to the Wong Family. "We don't do anything there except for following where you go and talk with the other kids."
"It's so boring." Jaden Wong, the third, mumbled to himself.
"I want to play Princess Pwetty Dolls." Kira Wong said to her parents as she held her dolls tightly.
"You can play them when you get there, too, Kira." said her father.
"That's right. And three of you, stop all your mumbling of 'I-don't-wanna-go' and come out! We're going to be late!" Rika said to her children.
As Henry and Rika went through the door of the house, the three children- Aiden, Kaya and Jaden- pouted.
"Who created this 'Once-in-a-Month-Friend-Gathering' thing?" Rika asked her husband, who was driving next to her.
"Ryo." Her husband answered her.
"I'm going to kill that Rooster Head," said Rika.
"Oh, come on," said Henry. "He didn't mean any harm."
"Yeah, but he's making us trublesome!" Rika shouted.
"Oh, stop it. We're here already, anyway," said Henry as he got off the car, and Rika followed him. The four children at the back of the seat got off the car with their parents, too.
"Hey, you two!" Kazu shoted. "You're late."
"Sorry," said Henry. "These four kids were trying their 'I-dont-wanna-go plan' again."
At Henry's words, the Tamers looked at the four Wong Children.
"Hello, kids. Long time no see," said Takato with a grin.
"Hello, Mr Matsuki," said the four children.
"Wow," started Kenta. "Kira had grown so much!"
"Yeah, and it's only been a month since we saw her." Ryo said.

In the last 90 days, 15 listings have been made available, which means leases might be going fast. You'll want to be prepared to make an offer immediately. About 40% of the available space in the Summit West are subleases, so you might be able to find a shorter term or below market rent. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet on the market, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
Even though the median size is 5,780 sqft, there are still 0 new availabilities below 2,000 sqft. Most buildings in this region are around 2 floors. Most buildings in this region were built in 2005 and are Class A.
Not much of the real estate is used for commercial space, so it might be hard to find office space. Manufacturing is the dominant industry in this region. Commute by bike is the most popular way to get to work amongst Summit West folk. Commuting between 30 and 45 minutes a day is the norm for those who opt to reside in this part of town.

If you're looking to purchase a Moto X from now until the 7th of July, you can get the company's premium Horween Red leather cover upgrade for free. This deal comes directly from Moto Maker, so it's as good as it gets.
Since users can't replace the back covers themselves, they will have to purchase the Moto X in this shade to get it for free. But that's a small trade off considering that you're getting one of the premium back panels that is sold by Motorola. This back cover would usually cost you an additional $25 on the device cost, so it's a pretty decent deal and something worth considering.
As we mentioned above, the deal will only last until the 7th of July, so you don't have much time to make up your mind. The 2014 Moto X starts from $25.99 with a two year contract or $324.99 off contract from a wide range of carriers that are listed on Moto Maker. Head over to the link below to avail this deal.

In an un-official count, Vonnie McCown who headed the Operation Christmas Child drop-off location at First Presbyterian Church reported on Nov. 21 that 2,129 Christmas boxes had been mailed to children all over the world from generous donors in Neshoba County. To God be the glory!
Mary Laurence Vowell, the daughter of Craig and Melody Griffin Vowell, born July 20, was baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit at the morning worship service on Nov. 20 at the Philadelphia First United Methodist Church with the Rev. Fred Britton officiating.
Among family members present were Mary Laurence's maternal grandparents, Bill and Janice Griffin, and paternal grandparents, David and Brenda Vowell. Also, Ginger, Jordan and Jack Flake, the Rev. Chris and Stacey Vowell and Josh Griffin. Meredith and Anders Griffin arrived from Kansas in time to join them for lunch at Mary Laurence's home following the baptism service.
Mary Laurence, the miracle baby that she is, was dressed as an angel in a christening gown and bonnet with a story of its own. The family became friends with the owner of Sweet Dreams in Madison when Ginger returned a treasured lost ring found in the wrappings of a wedding gift to her from the shop. Janice's gift to her granddaughter was a "christening to wedding bracelet," to be worn at her baptism and tucked inside her bouquet on her wedding day. It contained this message:
"A bracelet for her Christening Day
Tied sweetly at her wrist,
Will hold a sacred memory of
The day that she was blessed.
Then lovingly preserve this little bracelet
Softly tucking it away,
To nestle in her shiny hair
On other holy days.
And when the months have turned to years -
Filled with tears and joy,
Your baby girl, then all grown up
Will find that special boy.
That "something old and something new"
That every bride must carry,
Include this flower in her bouquet
On the day that she should marry."
Stacey's gift to her niece was a little cross necklace which had belonged to another little girl dear to Stacy.
The JOY (Just Older Youth) from East Philadelphia Baptist Church attended the Phil Waldrep Autumn Celebrators Conference held in the Sevierville Events Center in Sevierville, Tenn. The four-day event, "Celebrate America," featured the Honorable George W. Bush, 43rd President of the United States, David Jeremiah, prominent Bible teacher and founder of Turning Point Ministries and comedian Ken Davis. Also inspirational concert artists, Larnelle Harris and the Hoppers. Charles Billingsley, worship leader for the 24,000-member Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Va., spoke to the group and 200 members of the Thomas Road Church choir performed when President Bush spoke.
As shared with us by Ray Fleming, the conference was inspirational enjoyable and well planned. Our bus driver, Randy Hearn, exemplified great patience in a "wait your turn" situation involving thousands of cars and buses transporting an estimated crowd of 10,000. Imagine our amazement when we ran into Philadelphia friends, Barbara Thaggard, Suanne Adams, Rosanell Phillips and Willie Loper! They were among the New Bethel Baptist Church group,
Free time allowed us a scenic drive through the spectacular fall display of nature. In Chestnut Hill, Tenn., we visited the A. J. Bush and Company (beans) General Store founded in 1897. The huge store contains a theater for Jay and Duke, the popular "no talking" canine television personalities, a restaurant, gift shop and general store, The museum records a history of the business, including articles used in the original canning process, having come a long way from 1908 until now.
An especially meaningful side-trip for the group was a visit to Samaritan House, a food, clothing, furniture distribution ministry, as well as other ministries, including Christian nurturing and counseling. A group of East Philadelphia missionaries come here every year as volunteers to help repair houses, etc., as tangible evidence of their love for Jesus Christ. This program is called Appalachian Outreach, a ministry of the Campus Ministries Department of Carson-Newman College in Jefferson City, Tenn.
Sharing this God-given opportunity from East Philadelphia Baptist Church were the Reverend Mike Smithey, Max Chisholm, Randy and Jackie Hearn, H. G. and Mary Jo Cooper, Joe and Charlotte Beeland, Richard and Linda Brewer, Mandy Hailey, Lilly Partridge, Margie Jones, Bobbie Anthony, Mazelle Skinner and Ray Fleming. They were joined in Sevierville by Fran and Jill Shelby, Charlotte's sister and niece from Chillicothe, Ohio.
The Nov. 15 B.A.L.L. (Be Active Live Longer) meeting at First Baptist Church got off to a happy start when 31 "cute, well behaved" members of the church's daycare program entertained by singing new songs they are learning for their Christmas program. President Everett Estes called the meeting to order. "Happy Birthday" was sung to Marge Davis. A welcome-back was extended to Ethel Lundy, after an absence due to a broken bone.
Dr. Dan Howard blessed the food and Joan Hight delivered a devotional. William Smith asked members who were interested in attending the Bollinger Family Theater Christmas show on December 17 to please sign up. Sidney Smith with a senior planning group from Ridgeland gave pointers on the new Health Reform Act and VA benefit changes. He was assisted by Michael Smith.
Diane Ray had her daughter, Jacey Ray, as her guest. Other guests were Pam Phillips, Tammy Thomas, Michael Smith and Sidney Smith. Members present were Rebecca Barnett, Buck Bounds, Gloria Burkes, Jane Cole, Marge Davis, Everett and Mildred Estes, Katherine Farned, Lamar Fowler, Delores Haden, Ruth Hamilton, Rena Harmon, Joan Hight, Dan Howard, Eunice Jones, Sue Lewis, Ethel Lundy, Jane Parker, William Smith, Dorothy Thomas and Ellene Turcotte.
The Supper Club of "remember when" met with Chris Fulton on Nov. 12. When Chris said, "We just met and ate," she meant it. With Sue Fulton as hostess, dinner consisted of chicken and dressing, chicken and dumplings, roast and gravy, candied potatoes, potato salad, butterbeans, corn, rolls and corn bread, grape salad, apple pie and "good cookies." Enjoying the feast and the company were Chris and Sue, Marlene Permenter, Sara Fox, Katie Kemp and Jautees and Billy Martin. The leftovers? "I had Jane and Ronald for lunch and ate on the rest of them for a week," Chris laughed and nobody laughs like Chris.
Chris and Sue's recipe for candied sweet potatoes:
Boil four average size potatoes, peel and layer in casserole dish. Bring to boil: l/2 cup sugar, l/2 cup brown sugar, l/2 cup Karo syrup, pour over potatoes. Bake at 350 until bubbly.
Remember the 2011 Christmas Parade is scheduled for next Monday, Dec. 5 at 6 p.m. Come to the square early and get a good spot.
A group of dressed up ladies gathered at Kay Copeland's for lunch recently all wearing decorative red hats. But wait a minute! One is wearing a purple hat. "I wear purple because I am not 60 years old yet," explained Lesia Boswell. The ladies are members of the Red Hat Club and you must reach the age of sixty to wear the coveted red hat. Those proudly wearing red hats were Kay, Dean Beckham, Juanita Breazeale, Vonnel Breazeale, Ann Luke Baughman, Helen Clark, Isabel Conn, Jan Estes, Patsy Kirkland and Georgia Nowell.
Brings to mind this writing which I think is cute, accredited to "Warning by Jenny Joseph, written out by Elizabeth Lucas," as follows:
"When I am an old woman I shall wear purple with a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me and I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves and satin sandals and say we have no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired and gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells and run my stick along the public railings and make up for the sobriety of my youth. I shall go out in my slippers in the rain and pick flowers in other people's gardens - and learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat and eat three pounds of sausages (or chocolates) at a go or only bread and pickle for a week.
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in a box.
But we must have clothes that keep us dry and pay our rent and not swear in the street and set a good example for the children. We will have friends to dinner and read the papers, but maybe we ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised when suddenly I am old and start to wear purple."

I hope it doesn't pass.... My family and friends are in the same boat. We don't want our kids growing up thinking it's OK to use drugs. Cigarettes and alcohol are already too much... they cause way more than enough damage to society. No sense adding fuel to the fire. The 'medical marijuana' fiasco is a complete joke..... if you want to use pot 'legally'... go pay the quack doctor to get your little script and toke to your dark hearts content. Every country that has legalized illicit drugs is a sh*t hole with even more crime and health problems than those that don't.
The libs days are numbered thank GOD!!! Fiorina is about as close as Cali will come to getting a senator that actually will have positive impact. Bye-bye Boxer you tool.... and who are you Ryan Burns...? Obviously a "true journalist with absolutely no bias whatsoever"... another tool.

ComStar International Inc.: Pipe, Fittings Solder
July 14, 2008
Copper Lock provides a permanent, leak-proof bond for copper pipe and copper/brass fittings on air conditioning, heating and plumbing systems. No heat is required. To use, sand the areas to be joined, apply a small amount of the product to the fitting and pipe, insert, and turn the pipe 180 degrees or more. Wait for 30 seconds before handling. Pressure tests can be conducted after two minutes. According to the manufacturer, for a test on an air conditioning system, wait 15 minutes after application. If a leak is detected, the user can take the pipe/fitting apart by using a propane or MAPP gas torch to heat the fitting. This will release the solder, allowing the pipe/fitting to be separated. The connections can then be cleaned and the sealing process repeated.

Rain or shine in Portland, Ore., it seems Powell's is the refuge of choice for book lovers. Just ask the store manager, Miriam Sontz.
"You can see them when they walk in the front door," she says. "There's this 'Oh, wow, I found it' kind of look in their eye."
Sontz sees it every day. "They walk in the door, and they feel like they are surrounded not only by a million volumes that potentially they are interested in reading, but by a culture and by staff that are in love with the same thing they are—which is that feeling when you open a book, and you read the first sentence, and you fall into a different world."
An exotic world, says long-time clerk Chris Faatz. "Romanian. Books in Romanian. We have books in Celt. We've got books in Icelandic. Used books from all over the place, all over the world. We've got books in languages we don't even know what they are."
It is a gentle giant of a bookstore—the biggest in America—occupying one full city block. The many departments are color-coded, and first-time visitors need a map to find their way around.
It was Michael Powell's late father who opened the store in 1970.
"It's been fabulously successful," says Powell. "People like that mix, new and used."
In fact, there are a few million books at Powell's, he says. "Somebody says, 'How come you have so many books?' And I say, 'Well, you know, you buy two, sell one; after a while, you own a lot of books'."
And the philosophy of selling used, hard-to-find books along with new ones has made it successful—and huge. This sprawling independent bookseller, a dinosaur in today's retail world, just keeps growing.
There's every subject there—from acupuncture to 'zines [limited print magazines], tattoos to teachers to television—displayed, in a comfortable atmosphere so revered by customers that it's been the site of two weddings, and almost one funeral. [A patron has asked that his ashes be spread among the book stacks.]
At Powell's, customers are encouraged to browse to excess. Powell says, "I had someone call me at two in the morning once and said, 'Damnedest thing. I can't find any way out or anybody else in the store.' I had to come down and unlock the building and let him out. He had found a nice quiet corner and ignored the fact that the store had closed. It's a big store. There's room for that."
And there's room enough for a sense of perspective. At Powell's, there is just one shelf for books about Princess Diana. But, Powell will tell you, "Over here, behind you, we have four shelves on the works and life of Winston Churchill."
He adds, "It's finding a way to do something with books that excites people and excites me. And I think t shows respect for the books. And that's what I think makes the difference between an independent bookseller and others that might be in the business."
So if everything is so good there, what's the problem? It's the big chains—Borders to Barnes and Noble—and the expanding Internet threat led by Amazon.com. They're knocking at the gate, and cutting into Powell's market share. Barnes and Noble is even moving to take over the industry's main distributor, the same book distributor Powell's relies on.
For Powell, "It's guerrilla warfare, but guerrilla warfare sometimes is terribly effective. You can't meet them army to army. You're going to get clobbered. I can't go out and match them resource for resource. We just have to be more nimble. We have to be smarter, and we have to move quicker."
For starters, Powell's has opened branch stores to protect its Portland turf: Six in all, including one at the airport and another devoted entirely to technical books.
And, like the big chains, Powell's has gone online. In fact, it has been on the Internet since 1993, carving out a niche in used and out-of-print books. That part of the business is growing 20 percent a year. Even giant Amazon.com comes to Powell's to fill its orders for old volumes.
"In the old days we had to—I said the old days, last year—we had to think of what would sell in Portland, Ore., and do our parameters around that universe," Powell says. But now he adds, "What we're discovering is that for authors long thought irrelevant, someone in the world thinks they are still a wonderful read, and so it's broadened our perspective on what the world wants in the way of books."
Old books. Powell's buys an average of 3,000 every day at the front counter. Rare books too. At Powell's, these books are also weapons in the war against the big chains.
There is one book that Powell will tell you has a price tag of:
"$12,000...this one's in very good condition for... Moby Dick. And we're, you know, thrilled to have it. We probably won't have it very long." Powell says there's a 1676 translation of Thucydides for $500, and for $1,200:
"The Life of Frederick Douglas, An American Slave written by himself, published by the anti-slavery office in Boston in 1845."
Mike Powell's staff are foot soldiers in his guerrilla war against the chain stores. Clerk Faatz has been in the trenches for 20 years. Faatz says he could not imagine doing anything else:
"There's stuff here—tell me you can go into one of our competitors and pick this up—was published in Calcutta in 1975, a two volume history of modern Nepal." And Faatz adds:
"Thoreau once said that the life of the man who spends all of his time sitting in a library, or in a book shop, by inference, can be as rich, as exciting , as stimulating and as hair-raising as that of the man who climbs every mountain in the world and explores every jungle, and I'll tell you right now fro the very bottom of my feet to the very top of my head that I couldn't agree with him more."
Even a poetry reading by visiting poet Sam Hamill is part of Powell's survival strategy—a strategy that gives the public what they can get no where else. Hamill says:
"The independent bookseller has been forever the life blood of the American writer. And Powell's is one of the great institutions on the west coast."
So, how goes the book war, you ask? Apparently, very well. Mike Powell is at it again. His dinosaur of a book store is still growing:
"We're going to take out this handsome but limited building which is one story high and put up a four story building which will add 25,000 square feet of space." And that, says Pwell, "will at least give us bragging rights for being the biggest physical bookstore in America. I have always believed we're the biggest for number of books. We have close to a million volumes."
But Powell is realistic, too:
"Anybody can put a million books in a building. The question is: Are they a million good books? And that's always our challenge."

ROME, Jan 26 (Reuters) - Italy is planning to halt incentives to solar power producers, a junior minister said on Monday, after years in which generous public support to the sector has fed investor interest including from abroad.
"The decree on (renewable energy) incentives for the next three years should be ready by the end of February, but the photovoltaic sector won't be in it," Industry Deputy Minister Claudio De Vincenti said at a conference.
"The government believes there is no need to offer (solar) plants further support."
Italy's solar power market, which has drawn private equity firms such as Terra Firma and First Reserve as well as bank-owned investment firms and pension funds, took off at the end of 2010 when new rules sent production subsidies soaring.
Subsidies rose from 750 million euros ($843 million) in 2010 to 3.8 billion euros in 2011 and 6.7 billion euros in 2013.
In the past five years, investors have poured more than 50 billion euros into Italian renewable energy, building about 17 gigawatts of solar capacity. ($1 = 0.8895 euros) (Reporting by Alberto Sisto; Writing by Valentina Za; Editing by David Goodman)

Golden Boy attracts three out of West
WINNIPEG, Manitoba - Prime Time T.V., Golden Hunt, and Cherokee Dancer, a trio of Western Canadian-based 3-year-olds with high hopes, will face American invader S C King and two other locally based horses in Saturday's $40,000 Golden Boy Stakes at six furlongs.
In his first start here on May 22, Prime Time T.V. defeated a first-level allowance field by 16 lengths, earning a Beyer Speed Figure of 101.
A son of Deputy Minister trained by Bert Blake, Prime Time T.V. has drawn the rail in his first attempt against stakes company. Travis Hightower will be in the irons.
Breaking to the immediate outside of Prime Time T.V. will be Golden Hunt.
Trained by Greg Tracy, Golden Hunt won the President's Handicap in his most recent start, at Stampede Park on May 7. Before that, Golden Hunt, a son of Gold Alert, set a track record at Stampede Park, running four furlongs in 43.80 seconds in an eight-length victory over first-level allowance company and optional claimers.
After two starts last year at Woodbine, Cherokee Dancer was sent west by owner Phil Kives with Manitoba Derby aspirations.
Trained by Wendy Kruger, Cherokee Dancer won his first start here on May 8 against maiden special weight company by 12 1/2 lengths.
Cherokee Dancer will break from post 5 under Anderson Ward.
S C King has won two stakes in Nebraska from four outings this year. A winner of 3 of 5 starts at Saturday's six-furlong distance, S C King will break from post 3 with Rohan Singh on board.
Catch a Diamond won a first-level allowance race here on May 7 in his only start of the year. Trained by Don McLean, he will start from post 4 with Vince Guerra in the irons.
Arthurlooksgood finished second behind Cherokee Dancer in his career debut before winning by a neck last time out on May 21.
Trained by Clint Willson, Arthurlooksgood will start from the outside with Renaldo Cumberbatch up.

An Asimovian Adventure
Robert Luhn (editorial staffer, 1983-1990; contributing editor, 1990-1994):
Back in mists of PCW time (also known as 1985), we decided to do a special section in the magazine devoted to the future of the PC. My bright idea? Let's hire famous writers to contribute to the issue! With PCW's checkbook in hand, I quickly signed up Isaac Asimov (to write about the future of the PC), former California Governor Jerry Brown (to share his thoughts on PCs and education), and a personal god, Jim Fallows, then an editor at the Atlantic Monthly, to write about something I can't quite remember right now.
At last, I thought, real writers! Real writing! Not the dreck I had to resuscitate from engineers and software geeks and accountants. But real writers who knew all about verbs and nouns and...dare I say, content.
The large manila envelope landed on my desk two weeks later, return address, New York City. Asimov's piece had arrived! The man who coined the Laws of Robotics, the creator of the Foundation books, had written something for me!
Then I opened the envelope and a long, cold chill gripped my spine. The article was typed. On onionskin. And as I began to read, I realized my head started to tilt 20 degrees starboard, then 20 degrees port. Asimov kept talking, vaguely, about the "electronic calculating machine" doing this, and the "electronic calculating machine" doing that. What the hell was he talking about--ENIAC? Then I realized...this is what he called the PC! As I read further, I realized Izzy didn't know a damn thing about computing in general, about PCs in particular, or the future in any way, sense, or shape.
Nonplussed, I called up an editor at Omni magazine who had been editing Asimov for years. Did he get this kind of copy? "Let me guess," he chortled. "It looks like something he wrote on his way to the bathroom, right?" Right, I sighed. "Welcome to the club!"
I rewrote the piece from scratch, holding on to a sentence or two, and the byline. That was it. I faxed the edit back to Asimov and waited for the tantrum. In vain. The next day, he faxed me back a very charming note thanking me for the edit, and would I please send him his cool $2000 fee (roughly $4000 in today's money)?
Lesson learned? Think twice before hiring a world-famous writer. The other lesson learned? Never give a politician (Jerry Brown) an article assignment, unless you're looking for enough bloviating to inflate the Goodyear Blimp.
As for Jim Fallows, as the pages poured from the department fax machine, tears formed in our eyes. Here were verbs and nouns and, dare I say, content. It was a fabulous piece that delivered everything we asked for and then some. The final lesson learned: hire world-class writers--famous or not--and you'll never be sorry.
From the start, PC World was shaped by the technological revolution it chronicled. Breakthroughs such as desktop publishing and the Web had a huge impact on how PCW was created and delivered to readers--but our ambitions were sometimes ahead of reality.
Cheryl Woodard:
My first thought is how slow and puny the personal computers were back then. Embryonic compared
Eric Bender (editorial staffer from 1986-2000, including tenures as east coast editor and as executive editor of PC World Lotus Edition; seen at left in 1980s staff photo):
When I joined PC World as east coast editor, Ronald Reagan was president. PCW headquarters were on De Haro Street in a converted soap factory, and two of the offices had been converted from giant rendering vats. The magazine was The Comprehensive Guide to IBM Personal Computers and Compatibles. Back home, I worked on a dual-floppy (no hard drive) PC with a 1200-bps modem, total cost about $3000. PCW's e-mail system was MCI Mail, which didn't take file attachments. America Online was one year old. If memory serves, the Internet was still called Darpanet, and I knew about three people who used it.
As time went on, PCs did become increasingly important in the production of PC World.
Scott Spanbauer (editorial staffer from 1984-1989 and 1997-1998; contributing editor today):
We did pasteup on boards that had to be shipped to Brown Printing, our printer. When we switched to desktop publishing, we went with Macs, partly because Apple was way ahead of the PC in that area and also because that's what Brown used.
Around the office, circa 1986/7, editors were equipped with 8086- and 286-based Compaq desktops. I think we mostly had CGA monitors, but some people had the newfangled EGA displays that allowed them to run Windows 286 or Desqview on top of DOS. Before that we had a smattering of IBM PCs (the first ones, with one or two floppy drives) and XTs (the first IBM PC with a hard disk). To do word processing, you booted with a DOS floppy, then removed it (if you had only one drive) and inserted the word processor's floppy. If you had the technical finesse, you made a floppy that contained both
One of my first jobs was repairing the PCs, which had 64KB of often flaky memory chips. The floppy drives were flaky too, but fascinating to watch as they did seeks on a floppy disk. One of our slickest-looking covers back then was a well-lit photo of a floppy drive mechanism. It looked like something out of Alien.
By the time I moved to the editorial department in 1986 or 1987, a
The magazine dedicated a lot of review and how-to coverage to these products.
Most editors worked in the DOS version of Microsoft Word or in WordPerfect. WordStar was popular earlier on, but the other two were slicker, somehow. If you used a spreadsheet it was probably Lotus 1-2-3, and for databases, either Ashton-Tate's dBase III or Borland's Paradox. Throughout the 80s, the magazine regularly covered programming tools and techniques, including C (C++ barely existed), Basic, Pascal, assembly (Karl Koessel often added little assembly programs to my how-to columns), and of course lots of batch files for optimizing memory at boot-up, copying and backing up files, and creating menus for launching programs.
Then the 386 came along and changed everything within a few years. For a while there, it wasn't clear whether Windows 3.0/3.1 would really succeed against IBM's OS/2 and other multitasking environments like Desqview. Windows NT appeared in late 1992 (I think), but nobody really used it because existing 16-bit DOS and Windows programs didn't run under it. In the late 80s, I remember we had a lab that contained a couple of PS/2s running OS/2 and the occasional loaner machine running NT. Of course, there was no lab staff.
Eric Bender:
Celebrating the long-delayed release of the OS/2 operating system in 1988, IBM and its bosom buddy Microsoft held a press event in Winchester, England, and I spent some time hanging out in a pub with Steve Ballmer. I flew back on a Pan Am 103, and a week later the same plane blew up over Lockerbie. (The friend I flew with reminds me that the terrorists were planning to hit any Pan Am 103 flight that month--and that on the same trip, we just missed taking a London-bound train that was in a wreck that killed dozens of people; and a bomb exploded in a store attached to our hotel.)
Lincoln Spector (member of editorial staff, 1989-1997; current contributing editor and Answer Line columnist):
I'd been on staff only a few months, and in a few days I'd be going to my very first Comdex. I had a lot to do, but I couldn't work five minutes before another vendor would call me asking for an appointment at the overbloated convention. When the phone rang one too many times, I turned to it, yelled "No! I don't want to see you at Comdex!"
Then I took a deep breath, calmed down, and answered the phone with "Lincoln Spector here" in my best professional voice.
My blood froze when the voice on the phone said, "So, you don't want to see me at Comdex."
It was Technical Editor Karl Koessel, a few cubicles down from me.

do they feel entitled ?
Most Helpful Girl
There are a lot of nice pretty girls. I do think pretty girls have high standards, as they can get any guy they want. The same is true for hot guys, they will go for only hot girls because they can have whatever they want. I don't think this makes them stuck up, it makes them human. There are some pretty/hot girls/guys who are stuck up though, & that is probably because people are always kissing their butts. If someone constantly told you how amazing you are & that are so much pretty/hotter than others, you'd start to get a big head. Also, hot girls are constantly getting hit on by guys, & while this seems like a positive thing, it would really get annoying after a while. Not just because men would hit on you left & right, but because you'd know they only wanted you for your looks. They might even feel they need to be mean to get others to leave them alone. Not saying that is okay, but no one wants to get constantly harrassed by the opposite sex. Luckily I don't have this problem, so I never get annoyed if someone asks me out, just flattered. I guess it gets old when it happens all the time. When your average or unattractive, you have a hard time understanding this because getting the opposite sex's attention doesn't come easy.43|10|0
I'd rather be average and humble
Bravo! Clap!Clap! Clap!
