@I'm a kid. Your question seems display that childishness. What skin color of girls is stricktly reserved for u?
once you go black you will never get back... isn't it? lol
are u jealous?
in the front or in the back? haha
Hahahahaha ... I also like Polo shirt in black ... and jeans too ...
Hahahahaha ...
Loretta 。。。you are making an old man blush now ... by the way, thanks for the text message :)
Alexandria M ... which one are you? the real one? heehee ...
And I would actually suggest every girl to be careful, regardless of the skin color ...
Hahahahahaha ... I have huge doubt if OP is really a white guy in real life ...
This thread will go some way to explain it:
Hahahahaha ... which Caroline are you?
beauty doesn´t understand of colours,
so, taking your sentence - why chinese girls, russian and so many other girls want to fuck with a beatiful black boy?-
is not a question that answers itself???
Hahahaha ... Afroman ... make sure you wear a condom when you do that, you wont know what you might catch ...
Hahahahaha ... recalling that once someone called me "retard" in the forum ... so I urge you to play nice with my fellow retards brothers and sisters ... ok? hahaha ...
Hahahahaha ... there is one saying in the "retard" business ... is to believe that you are better than other retards ...
Hahahahaha ... yes ... been a retard for a long time ... still cannot figure why people would listen to me ...
Hahahahaha ... Master in Retard? I should talk to Peking University ... oh, better yet, one of those Foreign Language University, they have better looking girls there ...
OH ---------------->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hot flames
Hahahahaha ... Afroman ... slow down ...wait until the school wants to talk to me first ... but if you want to meet girls from my class, you might be disappointed ... because you are likely to end up a monk, but even more likely, you will decide to become a feminist and then move to Thai ;)
Hahahaha ... I think the word is "feminist"? Go wiki it and then come back to ask me again ...
Well there is so many girls fucking white guys, but why do u care when it come to black guys? Dont u think its strange to ask such questions? You got the moves u get the girl, as simple as that.
Hahahaha ... and tonight's dinner was again another success ...
Afroman ... for what I have been saying in the forum, I might as well be one, but I am not quite there yet ... heehee ...
Anyway, here's what you will expect when you study for your Master of Retard at Peking Uni ... that is, you will not no longer consider female as sexual objects, you will see them as another human being ... are you sure that is what you want?
Or, do you actually want to learn how to pick up women? If so, I refer you to follow the Gooruu ... refer to JZ's thread ...
Hahahahaha ... so you are John :)
Hahahaha ... Caroline, or John, deleted so quickly?
Hahahahaha ... *teary eyes* ...
It must have taken you some time to do that ... not bad ...
Hey, but tell you what, since you are so interested in doing this, go learn PS (or maybe you know how to do it already?) ...and then make a false screen dump instead ... then, maybe, it will look better ... heehee ...
Now, maybe even High Priest was framed?
哈哈哈哈, 。。。
How many ONS have u had so far in Chaoyang park?
DD, which one is ur real profile? Have u been framed also? Caroline is doing a wonder job
Hahahahaha ... Priest ... the one with 9 digits is me ... the one with 10 digits, is not me ... or is it me? heehee ... he must be really bored ...
Interesting, this boy of Caroline is a wanda girl.
Hahahahaha ... watching 非诚勿扰!
Really too much BT. Welcome, is ur waist ok?
Hahahaha ... just for clarification ... until this not very skillful idiot decide to copy it as well ... I am the one using Tradtional Chinese character set ..
BT, Yes I am.
Direct Descend of ABraham, Jacob and Moses
Hahahahaha ... this is "rude"? I really dont know ... I am a retard ...
uncle DD is sometimes switched to a mean aunty DD .... lol
Hahahaha ... mean aunty is watching TV ...
Im curious about which channel is she watching? 非诚勿扰?
Hahahahaha ... of course 江苏卫视!
er.... eto.... bingo.....
I think Im gonna hear more about this show tomorrow during lunch time... -_0
Hahahahaha ... last I check, I am still me ...
All these rubbish thread again and again.. If you dont like black guys its your funeral
Alexandria M, dont get a "big head" over it.
It seems you have too many questions kid. I've seen two already today.
Most of your friends could not accept a black person. especially as your bf?
well that says a bit about your friends because even if a person is less educated than someone else or maybe their manners are less than perfect, does not mean they are a bad person.
like stevie wonder said are you jealous?
Black guys and girls must have a really shitty time in China because the stereotype has carried over from other countries and i find that it show nothing more than
A closed mind shutting out and slamming something it doesn't understand.
Uh with all the "EDUCATION" you have.
Are you not able to determine that skin color has jack-shit to do with someone's personality and character.
in fact, I find this type of treatment to be completely racist. And maybe even worse than in the USA.
that makes this woman sound pretty bad. I mean, i tried a ___ sounds like you tried the guy out as if you were shopping around for a pair of shoes or buy a new car.
Whether or not some of the "black" folks in China are doing something bad or not.
The damn person could be a fucking diplomat for all you know.
A couple of years ago many delegates from Africa were here and of course their families came along.
Some of the boys were partying in sanlitun and there were police raids. drugs i guess.
anyway, a president's kid was caught in the crossfire, was beat up by some police and went to jail for a very short time(assume 1 night).
the next day it was all over the net that the bjg police beat up, arrest and jailed a diplomats son.
why? how?
because he's black. they didn't bother looking at his credentials. just looked at him and said "oh he's a black dude, grab him"
of course this news disappeared in a day off the net because those police really fucked shit up.
education does not equate intelligence.
Hahahahaha ... and China is run by very well educated people :)
* cold ... very cold *
nothing is more valuable than experience.
Hahahaha ... such "wisdom", sadly, seems to have been distorted or lost in China ...
and the "white guy".
It's impossible for Chinese people to be racist, because racism was invented by "the West". Chinese people merely imitate.
if one's personal dislike of other's colors can be called racist, I think am pathetically one of them, cuz I prefer blue ones...jk...
Hahahahaha ... and I always think that the green ones are sexy ...
... and interestingly, when I googled for "M&M images", these appeared among the results, and they look delishhhhh ...
thumbs up for Tuco
John Smith rimming Jesus H. Christ while the Virgin Mary stuffs a rosary up her ass, @Scott. My comment was so heavy with sarcasm that I broke a fucking sweat and nearly burst a capillary whilst shitting it out. I have a chronic anal fissure. I have to wipe my ass with the moist bumwipes normally reserved for infants. 肏
So. Yeah. Agreed. Preach on!
Chinese folks can complain about the sordid history of Western imperialism all they want, but privileged classes of Chinese folks have always been complicit in exploitation, be they the Qing, the Kuomingtang or the modern managers. It's kind of hard to pull off an act as a victimized minority when there's more of you than any other people on the planet.
No one has ever been as cruel to the Chinese people as a whole than other Chinese people.
Except maybe the Japs.
It is mandatory that I add that.

Although it wasn't very cloudy today, for most of the morning the city (or at least the part visible from our office) seemed to be coated in a layer of fog. I'm sure that some it was the normal smog you'd expect from a city this size, but I think some of it was brought by the relatively lower temperatures we've been experiencing for most of the morning. From experience, I expected it to rain, even a little, which is exactly what happened as my shift ended, as I was walking towards the nearby MRT station.
The rain made for a relatively cooler afternoon of course, and helped me ease into my afternoon siesta when I got home. Gosh did I feel drained. The stress of my job aside, the fact that my QC scores seemed to be faltering this month really adds to the pressure to not screw up even further. Ugh, I suppose there's no way to get those points for this month, which is a shame since I haven't missed a single day of work yet.
As for the issue I mentioned yesterday, I withdrew some money, with the express purpose of giving it to my cousin to buy groceries. Given my sleep schedule, it's very likely I won't be able to wake up early enough do marketing myself… Though if my sister is right, and my father's flight arrives later, then it'll be a non-issue, since he'll probably go to the market instead. Of course he'll badger me to come along (likely for the express purpose of having an additional pair of hands to carry stuff!), but we'll just have to see.
See if I can even get up that is, ahaha.
Since it's my off day tomorrow, obviously I'm going to have to do some reviewing for Saturday's class. With classes suspended last week, it'll likely be a brutal session of catch-up, knowing the professor involved. Hmm. You know, I still don't know what I'm supposed to lecture about. Have to look into that.
And my plans for the weekend? Ah, well, the usual gaming aside, I'd like to finish that drawing project I started this Summer, but had to put on hold due to the onset of classes, and my recent bingeing on Guild Wars. Running Puellae Magi, ahaha. Yeah, it's silly, but I wanted to try this long pic of the characters of the Madoka Magica megaverse (which means including the characters from Oriko Magica and Kazumi Magica) running after Kyubey.
The only problem though is that nor all of them at this point have color-schemes; the Magic Girl extras at the end of Episode 12 aside, I think only Yuma, Kazumi, Umika, and Kaoru have color schemes assigned to them. I suppose that I could just make do with line-art for now, but still, it wouldn't feel right without colors, even if just flats…
Eh, I suppose this weekend isn't going to be as boring as I'd thought.

Volkswagen will debut the Sport Coupé Concept GTE at the 2015 Geneva International Motor Show, heralding a new and progressive Volkswagen design language. "Evolution and revolution come together in the Sport Coupé Concept GTE.
This concept is based on Volkswagen design DNA, which has been visibly sharpened even more. It shows how the highest-volume brand of our Group is shaping the immediate future," says Walter de Silva, Head of Design of Volkswagen AG.
Dr Heinz-Jakob Neusser, Volkswgaen Brand Board Member for Development, elaborates: "This breathtakingly dynamic coupé is unlike any other to appear in this class. The design of the Sport Coupé Concept GTE is an impressive alternative to the classic sedans of the B and C segments—it has the style of a sport coupé that is enriched by the functionality of a large hatchback and the interior space of a sedan." Klaus Bischoff, Head of Design of the Volkswagen Brand, adds: "The Sport Coupé Concept GTE is another milestone of expressive design.
With this concept car, Volkswagen is not only showing a new model's design, but also initial glimpses of a new design era."

Surprisingly, many things we own were inherited from past generations. We'll never use them, we won't display them, and sometimes we don't know where they are. They could be in a drawer, in a box in the basement or, worse yet, in a storage unit a mile from the house. We live with the responsibility of ownership and along with this comes the guilt we think we'd experience if we were to let them go.
Items that once belonged to Grandma, Auntie Mabel or Dad, were acquired in the same way we accumulate today. The memories attached to them are someone else's, not yours. Auntie Mabel may have liked it, but that doesn't mean you have to.
The steps to take when decluttering are - in order – "keep, pass on, sell, donate, recycle, discard." The "keep" pile should be the smallest and should include items that have a definite personal meaning to you and those that you can use at your new home. As an example, look in a kitchen drawer. How many corkscrews, measuring spoon sets, bottle openers and potato peelers do you need? The baby fork you used as an infant is worth keeping. The bent forks in the cutlery holder (assuming they're not Elizabethan silver) can start your discard pile. Once you begin, it gets easier. Throughout this exercise, keep asking "Will I need this at the new home? Will I have room to display it? Does it mean anything to me?" When your keeper pile is complete, go through it again.
In the "pass it on" phase, you invite the family (first) and friends (later) to work through what's left. Where you can, provide relevant history and anecdotes, and remind everyone that what isn't selected and taken away will be sold, donated or thrown out.
The "sell" phase can be the most daunting depending on how much work you want to undertake. After family and friends have removed what they want and before you donate, recycle or dispose of anything, contact a reliable dealer in antiques and collectibles who's willing to make a housecall. That person will go through everything (even your discard pile) and might find unbeknownst valuables. Would you have thought you could sell tobacco pipes, fountain pens or old calendars? You'll receive an offer for items of interest, and don't be shy to ask for advice on what to do with the rest. To be fair to the dealer, don't expect a free appraisal if you have no intention of selling. Also, expect to receive an offer, which will allow the dealer a reasonable return. The key rules in this phase are one, do not throw anything away until it's looked at and two, do not clean or try to fix items.
Countless books are available on how to hold a successful a garage sale. If you do choose to have one, here are some thoughts to keep in mind: have lots of help, group similar items together for display, price everything to allow some haggle room, keep the cash box with you, wear a hat, expect to lose some things, and be prepared to deal with buyers who turn up well ahead of the posted start time. You want the stuff to sell, so don't overprice. Remove anything broken, chipped, cracked or not working and place these in the garbage. Clothing and shoes rarely sell unless they have designer labels and are in top condition. Please note: don't try to sell things you borrowed from your neighbour last year!
When it comes to donations, respect that thrift shops can't use your cast off junk. They need clean sound clothing and household utensils in good operating condition. They do not want mattresses, cracked hockey helmets, National Geographics or your stained Expo '86 T-shirt.
From what's left, recycle all you can and invest a little of your sales revenue to have the rest cleaned up and hauled away. Some haulers may take things in trade to partly offset their fees.Allow plenty of time; this isn't a couple-of-weekends process, especially if you've lived in your home more than 20 years.
When you're done, there are a host of rewards. You have more space where you are, and much less to move. You've helped out your favourite charity shop. Your family and friends have some items, which they can now treasure. When money changes hands for something, it regains respect and there is comfort in knowing it will be enjoyed and displayed once again.As a bonus, you will have enough money for a nice dinner out because your nephew inadvertently sold your frying pan and your entire saucepan set.

Bobbi Kristina Brown is becoming a star in her own right, but according to a petition filed in Georgia's Fulton County Superior Court Monday, the trustees of her late mother's estate are trying to provide "security and protection" for the 19-year-old singer and actress by tightening her finances.
The trustees of Whitney Houston's estate, according to the court filing obtained by ABCNews.com, want to change the distribution schedule of Brown's inheritance payments. Their goal, according to the filing, is to protect Brown, a "highly visible target," from those "who would exert undue influence over her inheritance and/or seek to benefit from respondent's resources and celebrity."
The five-page document does not go into details, but the trustees - Cissy Houston, Whitney's mother; and Marion Houston, Whitney's sister-in-law and business manager - said that any proposed amendment would still allow Brown, the daughter of Whitney and Bobby Brown, to live comfortably.
Gordon and Brown were involved in a car crash last month, and previously, he displayed what some might call questionable judgment when he tweeted a photo of himself driving while brandishing a handgun.
Gordon, Brown and the Houston family will appear together on an upcoming reality series for Lifetime, "The Houstons: On Our Own." The 14-episode show, set to premiere Oct. 24, follows Brown, Gordon, Houston's sister-in-law Pat, brother Gary, and mother Cissy as they "try [to] pick up the pieces" in the wake of Whitney's death.

I forgot about her too!
I forgot about her too!
On the forum on my phone again. Getting lots of pop up ads.
The thing with Portlandia that really disappointed me was that is has the potential to be off the charts hilarious. I mean it's about a group of society that is fairly easy to ridicule. Hipster jokes and mindfulness as a sense of entitlement? Should be easy pickings. It just comes off as more gentle prodding. They could have really gone for the jugular with that show and made it razor sharp. It feels like they're pandering to the very audience that they're mocking. I get that kind of humor, I do. I mean, Jeff Foxworthy made his entire career off of it. The only real difference there is that there are rednecks in every part of the country, so he had a kind of universal appeal. The rednecks laughed because it was true and the rest of America laughed because they felt superior. I drive a truck, shoot lots of guns and wear ball caps that came free with the purchase of heavy equipment. I still laugh at redneck jokes because they're funny. Portlandia just really misses the mark. They took what could have been a super fun concept and just over thought it until it felt flat and lifeless.

Sony PXW-FS7 Goes Offroad for Australian Adventure Series
Shaun Walker shooting The Offroad Adventure Show with his new Sony PXW-FS7.
Australian freelance producer and owner of New Life Media Shaun Walker was tasked with finding a camera to shoot segments for popular outdoor lifestyle program The Offroad Adventure Show. After a period of evaluation and assessment Walker chose the Sony PXW-FS7.
Shaun Walker is a Central Coast cameraman, editor and producer with 18 years' experience of shooting for TV along with filming a number of cooking, lifestyle and news pieces. Walker is the head cameraman for the adventure and cooking segments of popular Australian outdoor lifestyle program The Offroad Adventure Show.
After a period of evaluation and assessment Walker chose the Sony PXW-FS7 for the show. Walker explains why, "I was initially looking at purchasing the Sony FS5 for shooting the fishing and adventure segments for The Offroad Adventure Show because I shoot in a lot of different and challenging environments. For the fishing segments I shoot in various types of boats, from small tinnies to large charter vessels and in all sorts of weather conditions such as rain, snow and tropical heat. With my adventure shoots I have shot off the back of jet skis and snowmobiles, in bi-planes, while abseiling and zip lining and caving. I also would often be required to trek fair distances to get to our locations. For the first two seasons of our show I shot on a Sony PMW-160 and the form factor of the smaller handycam meant it was easy for me to move around small boats or shoot while hurtling over the jungle canopy on a zip-line, as well as carry the camera and the other equipment I needed for the shoots. For this reason, I felt that perhaps the smaller FS5 would suit my purposes perfectly but one of my peers thought otherwise."
The FS7 cache record means Walker always get the money shot.
Shooting Handheld
One of Walker's colleagues encouraged him to explore the FS7 as he continued, "The other cameraman who shoots the 4WD segments on our show was shooting on an FS7 and I was really impressed with the images he was getting, so when we were asked to shoot a corporate video for one of our show's sponsors I decided I would rent an FS7 kit and put the camera through its paces to see if I could throw the camera around as easily as I could the smaller handycams. In truth I was very impressed. The larger size was actually a help rather than a hinderance because I was able to get far steadier shots handheld than I could achieve with the smaller handycams. After that commercial shoot I decided that rather than getting an FS5 I needed to buy an FS7 instead."
The majority of what Walker shoots for The Offroad Adventure Show is handheld, so the FS7 having the centre of gravity on his shoulder rather than at his elbow meant that he could comfortably shoot for longer periods.
He continued, "The feedback over the image quality of the FS7 has been extremely positive. The larger sensor in the camera, coupled with my Metabones adaptor and DSLR lenses gives me that shallow depth of field that I was missing in the other cameras I was using and now gives our show a more filmic look compared to previous seasons.
Walker's use of the FS7's functionality doesn't stop there as he added, "The other thing I love about the FS7 is the slow motion function. I have been able to capture incredible 150fps slow motion footage of our host fly-casting. The slo-mo function is also vital for the Adventure activities I shoot. Every episode has an adventure segment, from jet skiing, to zip-lining, sand boarding and surfing, and having the ability to slip into slo-mo mode to capture the action sets the FS7 apart from many other cameras. That leads me on to the ability to be able to shoot in 4K, which is a Godsend. I use a Canon 24-105 lens as my main lens, and because I am always shooting hand-held I don't have the ability to use my longer 70-200 lens to get close shots of the fish as they are being reeled in. So shooting in 4K allows me to be able to zoom in in the edit so I can get that closer shot while the fish is in the water."
For Walker on The Offroad Adventure Show a typical fishing shoot starts with establishing shots of the crew arriving at the location, meeting their guides and heading off to their location.
Whether in extreme weather or in more moderate conditions Walker says his FS7, so far, hasn't let him down and as far as he can see it doesn't look likely to as he concluded, "The FS7 performs incredibly in all environments. The completed segments look lush and cinematic and even after just a few episodes of season 3 having aired people are already saying that our show has stepped up a gear compared to previous seasons. I'm delighted to say the FS7 is a major part of this increase in production quality."
Sony has just announced an upgrade to the FS7, the new FS7 II which will available from January 2017 onwards.

ITT Technical Institute Reviews - CLOSED
Student & Graduate Reviews (323)
I am in my 2nd quarter at ITT. I have been confused,anxious,overwhelmed,and down right ticked off. AND, I have been able to speak with the instructors, and head of the department without setting up an appointment. I have been treated with courtesy, patience and what I consider a heartfelt positive concern regarding my educational experience with ITT.
Sure, the material hard. We meet once a week. What does anyone expect?, an easy road? ITT is not for the faint of heart. A student must be dedicated to putting in the hours it takes to understand the material. That's the same at any school anywhere!
I have many years of experience with community colleges, and I graduated from a University. ITT seems on a par with my previous educational experiences. Many people complain about the cost of the ITT programs. Well, considering that the books are included, tools like a 500GB harddrive are included, access to software on loan is included, I'd say ITT ends up being about the same as other educational institutions. If a student wants to "save" some time/money, they might consider taking their GE requirements through a community college and then going on to ITT.
My previously earned GE requirements have saved me from taking 6 classes. Plus, if I student doesn't want to continue at ITT, the GE's from community college usually transfer anywhere.
Check it out. The bottom line is: ITT is what it is, a school. It has its pluses and minuses. For me, entering a new career, it works.
When I first spoke with the reps at ITT they informed me that it wasn't difficult to drop if you absolutely had to, which it wasn't at all. They get a ton of money out of you if you complete your program or if you drop.
Think before you ever sign any paperwork. Is $47K really worth it? When you get out you will be working just to pay off your loans.
From my experience the instructors were really nice and knew what they were talking about. The problem arises when you have to drop after attending for 2 weeks (6 classes total)! You are then paying for 50% of the quarter and that equates to roughly $3,600.00. Ok, not the end of the world.
What they neglect to tell you is if you drop that early on your loans are null and void and that they send your balance off to a collection agency. If that balance isn't paid off in 3 months it will have a negative affect on your credit report and you will have that burdon for 7 years. Now I am going to be stuck with this negative mark for the next 7 years because I cannot afford to pay them roughly $1,200.00 per month.
My advice to anyone thinking of enrolling really think about the cost. You can go anywhere else and not have to pay that much money for an education. They are extremely overpriced and the financial aid department that I delt with was giving me wrong information.
Hello, I'm 19 and I just enrolled into ITT tech. Now by now I should know when someone is scamming me. Every time I walk out of their building here in Arkansas. I feel a sense of accomplishments. But after that high goes down... It doesn't hit me until today... Is this school really worth 50k? I understand by now I should have been more question-pron before signing things. but I have a big question that i need answered quick? Is this college even serious as seems?
First off.. I applied shortly after i graduated in 2010. We had to put their number on block due to harassment. I walked onto their campus with a purple folder with all my documents I needed to get into ANY college. they did not once ask me for my high-school transcript, shot records, or anything. as far as they know. i could be lying about graduating.
im starting to get a bit scared now. can someone help me im reading all reviews and im so late on my decision i know but i need reassurance.
I dont have much to say but I think ITT Tech is a good school. You just need to use all the resources they have. You cant expect to succeed if you want your career handed to you. I have been there 7 quarters and is now working for HP due to my dedication. I have perfect attendance and a 3.8 GPA.
Yea I do agree it is expensive but I feel I will always be someway in debt in life so why drop out of school then be confused on what college is right for me. I just jumped in head first and plan to keep heading for higher expectations. You live life once and yea you dont want to be held down with high student loans but look at it as an investment into your future. Stop complaining and set your goals.
Either you sink or swim. Review the school and decide for yourself. Reviews aren't going to make a decision for you.
I attended ITT and graduated in 1999 with an associates in electronics engineering. I wouldn't say the school was the best but it was good enough to get me into Boeing, where I worked on the space shuttle program, c-17, f-16, f-18 etc. I have to say that for a school that many people complain about, that school also help me get a job that helps lead a comfortable life for me and my family
I'm just graduated Dec 10, 2010..I do have a recent post on page 2 titled a 7th quarter student. I still come on here and read some of the recent post. Sometimes I get disgusted with some of the post that I do read.
I don't laugh at the ones that say they quit during the 1st or 2nd quarter and get on here and complain. Hey everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and some just don't to say nothing at all.
My experience was not all that bad and at the same time it wasn't all that good. Just because an instructure quits during the middle of the quarter it doesn't make any sence to complain about it. You just have to adjust. Get with a few other classmates that want to learn. It's not hard to read and study.
To me thats part of life. If your on the job and your supervisor gets fired or quits and a new sup comes in and has a different aspect on the job and you don't like him/her. What are you going to do, complain and quit, get fired or adjust?
Whats wrong with re-learning something. Sometimes you learn more ways to do thing. Just because your taking a lame Intro to PCs class and you feel that you know everything, trust me you don't. But, thats just me. Trust me I felt the same way until I learned something new.
Me personally, I don't like listening to someone else's experience. I do my own research and way the pros and cons.
I guess when I heard a few of the past intructures that I had, they would mention that we are receiveing more info then they did when they was enrolled in school, because all they receieved was all theroy. They didn't get actual hands-on experience like we was getting.
How many schools do you know, (if you've done research), actually give you lab traing dealing with Linux OS, or running Servers virtually using virtual machines. Or, help you fine tune your resumes and give you feedback after you do mock interviews, to let you know what you need to improve on. Some of the things that you will learn is that when you actually utilize the tools giving to you and do job research some of the companies out there don't even know what a virtual machine is. Do you? Do you know the cost cutting measures that virtual machines provide? Possibly no, because you read so many bad reviews from people that didn't get past the 2nd or 3rd quarter.
Just because you go to school and get a degree doesn't mean jobs are going to flock to your feet. that with any school. Go to your career counselor and set down and talk to them. at the same time you find and apply for jobs. People are not going to help you if they say your not trying to help yourself.
I talk to my career counselor and also, did my own thing. The career couselor got me like 2 or 3 interviews. What I did for myself I got myself 7 interviews. People are not going to throw jobs at you. For the work I've done myself I finally found a job and has already satarted before I even initially graduated. Did the career counselor help me? No. I helped myself. So, after 8 months of being unemployed. I finally got a job. Not because of school but, because of my own personal drive.
An old saying that stuck with me from middle school. " If you surround yourself with people that are motivated to learn and succeed in life you would then prosper as well, but if you surround yourself with people that show no willing to learn and have no motivation in life you yourself will not succeed in life." Always remember misery loves company.
If you decide to enroll into ITT Tech. Have your own reasons of going, if you don't, don't build your opinion on the mast majority of the negative reviews here. DO YOUR RESEARCH. thats what any class instructure, professor or even your supervisor would tell you.
I should have realized that any school that advertises at 3 am is not going to be a serious school. I'm nearly done with my associates in Software Development and when I am done I will be nearly $40,000 in debt. I knew that it would be that much when I signed up but I also believed that I would be attending a school with the latest technology and information. That is the exact opposite of what I have recieved. EVERYTHING is out of date even FREE programs. And the curiculum is from about 5 years ago (which is rediculous when it comes to software). They JUST got optical mice for the labs!
I've got a lot more...
I have had several (not all, but several) teachers that are sickeningly bad. They are unprofessional, unapproachable, and uninterested. In a recent programming class, on the last day after our final, myself and several other students were still struggling to finish our final projects. We were asking the teacher to help us to get them to work. The TEACHER could not get them to work AT ALL. So I asked him if this was the first time the school had done this project, he said no. I asked how it was possible for him to not know how to do it if he had to deal with it in past classes, he said and I quote, "I think in my last class no one did it."
It was the final project and no one did it. This did not surprise me as he was giving answers like that all quarter. That is a serious symptom of poor teaching ability. What really bothers all of us is the fact that every quarter we're supposed to fill out these teacher evaluations but despite ripping these teachers apart for their inability to fulfill their basic job requirements, they just keep popping back up quarter after quarter, year after year.
And keep in mind that for every 100 students that graduate (just with an associates degree) they make $4 million, which does not include all the people that dropped out after a few quarters. They can afford better instructors.
For the love of god please do NOT go to this school for a computer course if you are not comfortable with computers. SEVERAL students that started up the same time I did had literally NEVER touched a computer before going there. I don't know why they thought they could jump right into programming but DO NOT FALL FOR IT! They have ALL flunked out, many without jobs, and are now struggling with thousands of dollars of debt.
Here's something that's really crazy... You don't actually buy books, they include books in the tuition and every quarter you just pick your books up. Except every... EVERY quarter they run out of books! My friends and I just figured out why this is (we believe, no evidence obviously). I think they plan on a certain percentage of students failing or dropping out every quarter and undercut how many books they buy for the next quarter. So when people DON'T fail we don't have enough books. A few friends in my math class right now are trying to keep up without books!
Don't think I just have a problem with the school because I'm not doing well, I'm a 4.0 student with perfect attendance. I wish I had the energy to go into all of the other reasons not to enroll but I hope this is sufficient for anyone reading this. It is a horrible rip off. As soon as I'm done with my associates I am out of here. I'm just hoping I can find a decent school that will let me transfer some of my credits. AVOID ITT TECH!!!
I can't imagine why ITT Tech is getting all these bad reviews! I am in their ASNursing program and I love it. My professors are all very experienced and knowledgeable. I have found along the way that if we have trouble with something (me in particular with IV placement) the instructors will stay with you after class or on weekends for as long as you need until you get it.
My instructors are all veteran RN's. I can't find enough nice things to say about this school. I noticed a couple of people complaining that ITT Tech is not accredited by the NLN and there is a perfectly logical reason for it.
I attend classes in Tulsa and UNTIL the 1st class graduates you can't get NLN accreditation. I have spoken with reps from the Ok. St. Board of Nursing and the program is approved and believe me that is no simple feat, Ok. State Board is very tough on the programs and their nurses in general.
This school enrolls you on merits instead of forming a waiting list. We were all required to take the HESI A2 exam prior to being accepted, if you are one of the top 30 scores you are in, simple as that! If you want to be a nurse I would definitely recommend this program.
To the other complainers remember one thing. The instructors don't do the work for you and it is not their responsibility to see to it you make it to school or take your education seriously, thats on you; you have to show up and you have to roll with the changes.
If you are truly committed to your education you should have no problems at ITT Tech. It does cost more than a traditional college but all private schools do. You either want to wait in line or get to it. The extra money was worth it to me to get started right away. There are scholarships available for all programs but YOU have to see to it you apply for them, the instructors don't do it for you.
Went to ITT for 2 semesters. I was not allowed to test out of classes that I already had knowledge in. I have over 10 years experience with computers and I was forced to take nearly all my beginner classes. The only reason I agreed to attend school at ITT was that they offered to pay for any certifications you wanted.
After the second semester started I went in to schedule my NET+ test and was told that they no longer offered the certifications. I went to the dean and explained that that was the main reason I was there. I was told more or less oh well. The certifications where stopped the day after you could get your money back for the semester.
I learned absolutely nothing going to school here other than its a waste of time and the teachers that are hired have no idea what they are doing. 2 semester at this school and I now owe 12,000 dollars. Never once received any paper work from ITT about my loan through the school. I just found out yesterday that ITT sent me to a collections company. Our programming teacher could not even spell "end", over and over through out his demonstration for a computer program he used "in". Later he had no idea why his program would not work.
20 students myself included left ITT's St. Rose campus due to these issues and tons more. Do not go to this school unless you are looking to pay for a degree. You can pay your tuition and just show up every 3 classes and make an A.
I'm sorry that people don't give things a chance. I have gone to a community college and I didn't like the students or the teachers. At ITT I feel comfortable. No pressure, I get one-on-one help, and I don't have to worry about an 18 year old that is straight out of high school that dosent know how to act. I don't have to take a bunch of bull shit classes I don't need.
So if you wanna get in and get out, maybe give it a chance. If you don't like it, don't go there.

Our empirical study of 246 Directors, financial executives, accountants and credit/security analysts explore the concept of firm strategic control and what theoretically developed attributes contribute to an entity having strategic control over another. Our results suggest that strategic control is established with 100 per cent ownership but where there is less than 60-64% ownership then other strategic control attributes are necessary. Our results delve into what combinations of Direct ownership, indirect ownership, dispersion and Board of Director representation are required for strategic control.

Prince Harry definitely has a natural gift when it comes to bonding with children.
The 32-year-old royal attended a youth sports festival at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium showcasing Antigua and Barbuda's national sports on the second day of his official visit to the Caribbean, taking some time to play a variety of sports with local children. Harry showed off his athletic abilities while participating in boxing, cricket and tennis.

Dancing was apparently also on the itinerary! Harry was snapped adorably "dabbing" with a few lucky school girls.
Harry and the kids clearly enjoyed themselves, judging by the giant smiles on all of their faces.
Harry later departed the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium to a Guard of Honour formed of cricket bats.
Harry's visit to the Caribbean marks the 35th Anniversary of Independence in Antigua and Barbuda, and the 50th Anniversary of Independence in Barbados and Guyana. His two-week royal tour started on Sunday, and will last through Dec. 4. The Palace confirmed to ET last week that his girlfriend, 35-year-old "Suits" actress Meghan Markle, will not be joining Harry at any of his official events and appearances this month.

The Girl Who Chose Devdutt Pattanaik
- Book Genre : Young Readers
- Paperback
- Book
- Author
"'You are bound by rules, but not I. I am free to choose.' Two thousand years ago, the poet-sage Valmiki wrote the Ramayana. It is the tale of Ram, the sun-prince of Ayodhya, who is obliged to follow family rules and so makes no choices. And of Ravana, king of Lanka, who does not respect anybody's rules or other people's choices. Over the centuries, hundreds have retold the tale in different languages, adding new twists and turns. But few have noticed that the tale always depends on the five choices made by Sita. What were Sita's five choices? India's favourite mythologist brings you this charmingly illustrated retelling of the Ramayana that is sure to empower and entertain a new generation readers."

Volunteer Spotlight
Our Volunteer Spotlight is a place where we can recognize some of our wonderful volunteers! We have individuals and groups who help Miracle Hill every day in such special ways. Our spotlight page is a place where we can acknowledge and thank a different volunteer each month.
Reverend Everett Peterson: Loving How Jesus Loved
From the very start, Reverend Everett Peterson expressed that his volunteer work is NOT about him but ALL about Christ. In his opinion, he and the others he volunteers with are just doing what any Christian should do—going to the places where the hurting people are and showing them the love of God.
And volunteering at the Cherokee Rescue Mission brings their passion to life.
"He is known as Rev. Ev by our clients." Sheppard Wright, Volunteer Enhancement Specialist, explains it perfectly, "…what really sets him apart is his heart for those in need. In your interview it will come out how he is burdened to help those who seem to fall through the cracks, even by some church groups. When he, his family and church serve dinner for our clients he has such a gift for interacting with people, and they really open up to him because they are able to see how genuine he is in his concern."
Rev. Ev is the pastor of Awaken Church of Gaffney—a church that he and his family planted in August 2010, holding services in their living room. Everett says that he had known of Miracle Hill Ministries prior to planting the church. He also knew that when he planted Awaken Church of Gaffney he wanted to get the church involved with the ministry. So, two and a half years ago, they connected with Miracle Hill Ministries and have been serving since.
"I love it," he says, "I look forward to it every single month."
The church committed to volunteering, knowing that it would be a good way to show the love of Jesus to hurting people. Everett observes that most of the people in the shelter often feel hopeless and lack self-worth.
But his goal is to show them that someone is still on their side.
And even though his ultimate goal is to serve them, they end up serving him too by showing him the realities of life. He says, "Personally it shows me that any one of us are only one or two choices away from being destitute."
Everett is considered the ideal volunteer because his heart is filled with the gospel, showing love to everyone around him and living out Christ. Because, after all, Miracle Hill Ministries is all about Christ.
One gospel. One servant's heart. One person at a time.
And that's what it's all about.

Working Papers from Georgetown University, Department of Economics
Several recent papers use the quantile regression decomposition method of Machado and Mata (2005) to analyze the gender gap in log wages across the distribution. Since employment rates often differ substantially by gender, sample selection is potentially a serious issue for such studies. To address this issue, we extend the Machado-Mata technique to account for selection. In addition, we prove that this procedure yields consistent and asymptotically normal estimates of the quantiles of the counterfactual distribution that it is designed to simulate. We illustrate our approach by analyzing the gender log wage gap between men and women who work full time in the Netherlands. Because the fraction of women working full time in the Netherlands is quite low, this is a case in which sample selection is clearly important. We find a positive selection of women into full-time work and find that about two thirds of this selection is due to observables such as education and experience with the remainder due to unobservables. Our decompositions show that the majority of the gender gap across the log wage distribution is due to differences between men and women in the distributions of returns to labor market characteristics rather than to differences in the distributions of the characteristics themselves.

thanks in advance
There's no way to be sure just from the year, engine or trim level - you'll need to either read the part number on the side of the existing bush (if you're sure they haven't been replaced with the wrong size by a previous owner) or accurately measure the ARB itself, making sure you meaure a straight section that isn't worn.
thanks for the info buddy
I just got front ARB bushes for my 2007 1.9 cdti sri they were 2 part ones.
Items 7-8 and 10 http://www.opeloem.com/vauxhall/vect...lizer_bar.html
Check your chassis number..
I will look out my receipt with part number.
Last edited by ScotsDragon; 7th May 2012 at 23:00.
Rab have a quick look under the car, the sizes are stamped on(on mine anyway) the outside of the bush.
"We are not some sort of dictatorship!"
ive mailed the seller of this listing
and she has said that these are the only bushes she supplies for the vectra c, my model inparticular.
i did say to her that my car has the flat brackets on the arbs, yet shes adamant that these are the correct ones.
ive also measured mine and they are 24.2 mm coz the 24mm spanner wouldnt go over it.
so is she correct or am i going nuts???
I'm sure that on my 2008 (1.8 exclusiv) the haynes manual sayas that the front arb bushes are not replaceable the whole bar has to be changed.
When I've looked at them the bushes seem to be an integral part of the bar and certainly noting like the replacement parts for older vec c's

Hof's Hut
23635 Crenshaw Blvd
Torrance, CA 90505
(310) 325-0470
I eat breakfast at Hof's Hut in Torrance about once a week – and I do have my favorites. Hof's breakfast specials range from the predictable (eggs, bacon etc) to the unusual (scrambled eggs with chili) and come in under $7 and typically come with a coffee, orange juice or tea. I mix it up each week but I do look forward to the start of peach season. As luck would have it, today Peach Pancakes were on the menu!
As you can see from the picture above, the short stack comes with a good amount of sliced peaches, thick peach sauce, and a good supply of whipped cream. There is no need for syrup or butter on this indulgent breakfast treat.
If you have the urge for peaches, head to Hof's and enjoy!

Today's post will feature the Wet 'n' Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio in Knock On Wood.
Knock On Wood contains a velvety cranberry red eyelid shade, a satiny dark chocolate brown crease shade, and a shimmery light pink browbone shade. The red shade and the brown shade have the best texture, consistency, and color payoff. The pink shade is not as pigmented as the other two, and I wouldn't use it on my browbone because it's more of an eyelid color to me.
This is one of my favorite eyeshadow trios from Wet 'n' Wild. The eyeshadows are buttery soft, silky smooth, and very pigmented. They apply wonderfully and blend like a dream. They last at least 8 hours on me without any fading or creasing (with a primer). The packaging is nothing fancy, and the brush included feels scratchy, but the quality of the eyeshadows is amazing, and that's all that matters to me. Plus, you can't beat the price ($2.99).
Have you tried any of these Wet 'n' Wild trios? What are your favorite trios? Share your thoughts!

6 Conversation Mistakes Even Experts Make
You likely exhaust a lot of time on what you say in conversation, but place little attention in how to say it. r
You likely exhaust a lot of time on what you say in conversation, but place little attention in how to say it. r
A conversation is not a business meeting at work or with your family. It is a personal or informal talk that takes place in the cafeteria, while in a car on the way to a client presentation or walking on the street on your way to work.
It can make or break a relationship. It can make a career successful. It can make new friends. It can just brighten up another person's life. It can change the world!
If you value time, aim at productivity and contribution, you would want to maximize your conversation to end up being a meaningful.
Here are 10 ways to make a conversation bring impact to you and others. r
While my family has always encouraged and practiced a healthy amount of honesty, weight is such a sensitive topic that for years I just avoided discussing it.
My biggest issue was not that they over did it on food, but that they gave absolutely no importance to exercise r
Conversational writing causes your brain to wake-up and pay attention. Your brain thinks it's in a real conversation, even though you're reading text on a page. If you're developing learning content, teaching or helping your child study for a test – use a conversation. Your reader's brain will thank you for it. r

Empty Streets and Locked Doors: Prostitution Is Disappearing From Tel Aviv's Underbelly
Real estate projects at the old central bus station, a stronger police presence and a bill incriminating customers are changing the area for the better
Real estate projects at the old central bus station, a stronger police presence and a bill incriminating customers are changing the area for the better
Often pimps and crime organizations prefer to use hotels as a substitute for brothels to blur their involvement and evade the enforcement authorities
Many of the women survived torture in Sinai and are single mothers in Israel with no support from the state
With her firm, feminist ruling to shut down a strip joint, a Tel Aviv judge has exposed the hellish, demeaning reality of the sex industry and the euphemisms used to whitewash it
Nina Pirshet, who ran the site and received millions of shekels from pimps and sex workers, also tried to persuade women to become prostitutes
Eight of those arrested are women; their two brothels had an estimated total income in excess of $28 million over several years
Rotem hit the streets when she was only 14 ■ Carol fears the police ■ Melanie wants a normal job, but no one will hire her ■ Heartbreaking stories from the street
M. died of an overdose on a busy Friday morning, bypassers sidestepping her prone body. A charity worker who befriended the 21-year-old says women in prostitution continue dying far from society's gaze.
After 70 years of writing, a collection of essays exploring the oeuvre of Sami Michael has finally been published. It takes us back to the source, to the pellucid waters of the spring from which Israeli protest literature still drinks.
Homeless man near Tel Aviv central bus station: 'Anyone who thinks that homeless people are on the streets by choice and out of an urge for adventure is a romantic who is cut off from reality.'

These Floor Tiles Generate Energy As People Walk On Them [Watch]
Pavegen tiles are presently powering lights at soccer fields, offices, and airports.
British technology company Pavegen has stepped up its energy game by developing tiles that generate kinetic power from footsteps. That's right, just by treading on the tiles – which have already been installed in Brazil, Nigeria, and London, one could help power lights at soccer fields, offices, and even airports.
Huffington Post relays that the innovative tiles have been constructed to harness as much kinetic power as possible. Some are triangular-shaped and have a generator at each corner. This ensures that the energy a person's footstep generates is maximized – regardless of where one steps.
The more one walks on the tiles, the more energy they generate. Even Al Gore has endorsed the tiles which generate about 5 watts of continuous power.
Laurence Kemball-Cook, the founder of Pavegen, told Radio France Internationale that the tiles have an important function, as they can help light up locations that are poor or rural and cannot afford to invest in social functions. He said:
"We found a community that had no light, has no way at night time for people to socialise or play sport. We're creating a real legacy project here to really change the way energy used and viewed in Africa."
Of course, he's quick to admit that the technology has its limitations:
"We're not trying to make Pavegen the sole energy source to power every city in the future. We believe it's going to be one of the key constituents of the energy mix of the future."
It seems the future is green. Even multinational oil company Shell has endorsed the project. Regarding that achievement, Kemball-Cook told the press:
"We are changing the way Shell's perceived. I think that's really important that young, disruptive technology companies like Pavegen from London can work with big brands to make real social impact projects."
David Horsely informed Wired that the invention doesn't have much application to large projects, as one might only achieve 100 watts from a square meter of solar paneling. However, "for small wearable electronics like watches, or maybe even your phone, this kind of energy harvesting makes sense," he says.
As the technology is improved upon, it is likely that the tiles will eventually generate more energy. Undoubtedly, this will help countries reduce their carbon footprint and transition to running entirely on renewable energy sources, which Greenpeace predicts could be possible by the year 2050.
