Destination: Vacation
You've been working hard, and now you're counting the days until take off. Soon you'll leave your worries behind to enjoy the good life in an awesome destination. Yes, your warm-weather vacay is coming, and it just can't get here fast enough.
Planning all your fun activities is probably your top priority now, while wondering what you're going to pack is a distant second. And while your vacay wardrobe may not make or break the trip, having the right clothes on hand can certainly make your escape even more unforgettable.
Smart packing takes careful planning and resisting the urge to bring along too much. But don't you hate getting there and wishing you had that favorite hat you didn't want to deal with carrying on? Here are a few ideas from Style Encore to make sure you get away in style.
After you have considered both the forecast and the potential activities, pull out your summer clothes and start mixing and matching. Look for versatile items that can perform double duty. Do you have a maxi dress that you can pair with sneakers, flip flops and strappy heels? How about converting a swimsuit cover-up into a dress with jewelry and high-heel sandals? Do you have a go-with- everything tank that can stand alone with shorts and layer beautifully under a wrap?
Once you've been creative with your wardrobe combinations, decide where you need to fill gaps. Can you make it through the trip with just one or two handbags, or do you need to find a more versatile accessory to go from plane to beach to dinner? A small bag for essentials tucked inside a larger bag may be the answer, but are they the right sizes and styles for this particular destination? So many questions. So little room to take it all.
At Style Encore, we're filling our stores with gently used clothes and accessories to help complete your vacation wardrobe. At up to 90% off the original retail prices, these affordable warm-weather options can help you stay on budget. And that means more spending money for your incredible vacation!
As you sort through your summer wardrobe, you may also find that you have gently-used clothes and accessories you no longer need. Wrong color? Wrong size? Bring them to Style Encore and you may be able to sell them for cash on the spot. Again, that translates into more spending money for you!
Before you know it, you'll be basking in the sun, kicking back with a book and sipping on something smooth and fruity. Thanks to careful planning, you'll look amazing doing it!

Familiar issues again do in winless Buccaneers in 31-13 loss to Panthers
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
TAMPA, Fla. – The downward spiral that has become the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' season might not yet have hit bottom.
Stagnant offense, special teams' miscues and a defense unable to stop Carolina quarterback Cam Newton put the Bucs in a hole early in a 31-13 loss Thursday night.
An efficient Newton threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score. The Panthers (4-3) won for the fourth time in five games following an 0-2 start. They've won three straight, with Newton throwing for 667 yards, six TDs and no interceptions.
"We had spies on him, but it's just a matter of keeping him in the pocket," defensive tackle Akeem Spence said. "When we got back there and we got hands on him...we didn't get him down. We were letting him escape."
The Bucs (0-7), one of two NFL teams yet to win, have dropped the first seven games in a season for the seventh time in franchise history. They've lost 12 of 13 dating to last year, and some fans showed up at Raymond James Stadium carrying signs and wearing paper bags over their heads urging that second-year coach Greg Schiano be fired.
Bucs offensive lineman Davin Joseph acknowledged changes were possible, but said despite their struggles the players were sticking together.
"I don't think the locker room is an issue," Joseph said. "I think guys are fighting. Plain and simple our careers are on the line — everybody in the building. I don't have to convince anybody to work hard. They're going to do it. We just have to all do it together."
Despite its offensive issues, Tampa had a flitter of hope trailing 21-6 late in the third quarter before a fumbled punt by Eric Page set up Newton's touchdown pass to make it 28-6 entering the fourth.
The Buccaneers continued to struggle and didn't muster their first touchdown until 2:53 was left.
Newton tossed a 1-yard TD pass to Greg Olsen in the first quarter and added a 3-yarder to Mike Tolbert on the first play of the fourth quarter. Newton had his way against the Bucs in between those scores, too, setting up a nifty 12-yard TD run by DeAngelo Williams and getting into the end zone himself with a 6-yard run midway through the third quarter.
The third-year quarterback completed 23 of 32 passes for 221 yards. He also rushed for a team-high 50 yards on 11 attempts.
Rookie Mike Glennon threw for 275 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in his fourth start for Tampa Bay, which trailed 31-6 before finally getting into the end zone on Tim Wright's 10-yard reception.
The victory lifted Carolina over .500 for the first time since 2008, when the Panthers finished 12-4.
Newton completed 81.4 percent of his passes for 446 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions over the previous two games — lopsided victories over Minnesota and St. Louis. He set the tone for another efficient performance, going 7 of 8 for 57 yards on Carolina's opening drive and finishing the nearly 9-minute, 15-play, 70-yard march with his TD pass to Olsen.
The Panthers overcame second-and-22 following a 12-yard sack, with Newton throwing 10 yards to Steve Smith on second down and scrambling for 16 yards on third-and-12. On the TD pass, Newton stiff-armed defensive end Daniel Te'o-Nesheim to buy time before finding Olsen wide open in the left side of the end zone.
Carolina went 80 yards in six plays on its next possession, with Newton setting up Williams' 12-yard TD run with a 35-yard completion to Ted Ginn Jr. Three minutes later, the Panthers nearly struck again, with Newton throwing deep to Ginn, who had a couple of steps on cornerback Leonard Johnson but let the ball go straight through his hands.
Glennon completed 30 of a career-high 51 passes. He has thrown 181 times this season, a record for a quarterback in the first four games of a career.
Tampa Bay played without injured running back Doug Martin and safety Dashon Goldson. Martin is out indefinitely with a shoulder injury, and Goldson, one of the leaders of an improved defense, sat out because of a sore knee.
Schiano said he hasn't lost faith.
"What just got to do it better," he said. "We've done it before, so it's not where I don't think that this group of men can do it. We just need to do it better."

That ends a stop-start game but there is another match going on between Mumbai and Chennai, so switch tabs and join us for that game.
Steyn: "I am feeling good and it is nice to win. You can't do much with the rains but, thankfully, we got a game in. Our aim was to win 2 to 3 games away from home, so it's a nice start. I felt like ABD (about taking the catch on the ropes). We have worked a lot on the bowling and Simon Helmot has helped us a lot."
Steyn is the MoM for his figures of 2/20 in 4 overs. He also pulled off a stunning catch
Dhawan: "The rain almost curtailed the game but it is good to get a win. The bowling was brilliant and the bowlers executed the plan for the whole of 20 overs. I told the bowlers to get the basics right and execute their plans in the death."
Pietersen: "It's difficult to contain when the opposition have 8 to 9 wickets in hand and can afford to hit each ball out of the park. We did not finish well, the guys (Duminy and Jadhav) have done brilliantly at the death but had an off day today. We have to turn it around and have to do the processes right and something somewhere will click."
Finally, we have a winner in the rain-curtailed match. At one stage it looked like the rain will have the last say but the groundsmen and support staff did a brilliant job to get a game in. After many breaks due to rain, Hyderabad needed 43 runs off 5 overs. Even though they lost Dhawan and Finch, Warner and Ojha held their nerve to see them through to victory. Delhi lose yet another close encounter. With 5 games remaining, they will have to win all of them to have the slightest of chances to qualify for the knock-outs.4.2
L Shukla to N Ojha, SIX, Ojha delivers the knock-out punch, Hyderabad win by 8 wickets, short and on the stumps, does not rear up, Ojha swivels and pulls it well over the deep square leg fence4.1
L Shukla to Warner, 1 run, length delivery in the slot, Warner was shaping to play the hoick over mid-wicket, he mistimes it completely and gets it down to deep mid-wicket
Laxmi Shukla, right-arm medium, comes into the attack
Laxmi Shukla to bowl the final over with 6 runs required...3.6
Rahul Shukla to N Ojha, SIX, all the good work done for the first 5 deliveries goes to waste, Rahul Shukla bowls a length delivery on the pads, Ojha plays the pick up shot and sends it sailing over the deep square leg fence. Hyderabad inch closer to victory3.5
Rahul Shukla to Warner, 1 run, too full and just outside off, Warner squeezes the drive to sweeper cover3.4
Rahul Shukla to Warner, FOUR, a poor delivery from Shukla, full toss outside off, Warner reaches out and slams it over extra cover, Jadhav gives chase but comes second. A much needed boundary for Hyderabad3.3
Rahul Shukla to N Ojha, 1 run, pitched up and on the stumps, Ojha drives it to long on
Naman Ojha, right handed bat, comes to the crease3.2
Rahul Shukla to Finch, out Bowled!! Huge wicket for Delhi. Finch goes trying to get the required runs.

KP and Tahir having a chat about the field placement..2.1
Tahir to Finch, 1 run, flatter and on the pads, Finch clips it to deep mid wicket for a single
The latest news is that play will start at 20:11 Local Time even if there is a light drizzle. The revised target is 43 runs in 5 overs, which means Hyderabad require 26 off 18 balls
The rain has got heavier and Innocent Bystander tweets, "Full covers now - so may not be a chance now with less than 20 mins left.."
Hyderabad should be 36 for 1 at the end of 5 overs as per D/L, if they need to win this game. All the permutations and combinations will be valid if we get a 5-over game.
This has now become a norm. After each over there seems to be a rain break. The players are off the field and the covers are back on. KP looks frustrated.1.6
S Kaul to Warner, 2 runs, excellent athleticism from Warner, this was a back of a length delivery on the pads, he tucks it behind square on the leg-side, he slipped while coming back for the second, the bat also slips out but he dives full length and gets back in quite comfortably in the end1.6
S Kaul to Warner, wide, Kaul not getting his line right, the angle from round the wicket is taking it down leg, Warner misses the glance and wide called once again1.6

David Warner, left handed bat, comes to the crease
Kaul comes round the wicket1.4
S Kaul to Dhawan, out Caught by Duminy!! Perfect start for Delhi after the rain delay. Kaul is pumped up. This was not a wicket taking delivery but he will take that.

S Kaul to Dhawan, THATS OUT!! Caught!!1.3
S Kaul to Dhawan, leg byes, 2 runs, short of length on the legs, Dhawan misses the clip and the ball trickles off the pads to third man
Two bowlers can bowl 3 overs and 3 bowlers can bowl 2 overs1.2
S Kaul to Dhawan, no run, slightly short and outside off, Dhawan goes for the cut, he fails to make contact and the ball goes under his bat
The players are ready and play is about to start. The revised target is 97 runs in 12 overs..
Well, the rain seems to be playing hide-and-seek as it has returned again.
Innocent Bystander has tweeted, "Revised target 90 runs off 11 overs..." Play to start in a few minutes
It is a light drizzle and the umpires are still out on the field. The cut-off time for the match to end is 20:20 Local Time. So, to get a 5-over game, play needs to start by 20:00 Local Time. Until we get more updates, hop tabs and join us for the toss between Mumbai and Chennai...
Oh no! It has started to rain again. The players are running off the field and the ground-staff bring the covers on. This will be frustrating for both the teams.1.1
S Kaul to Finch, 1 run, touch short and on off, Kaul gets some extra bounce, Finch plays it with a loose bottom hand and gets it down to third man
Siddarth Kaul, right-arm medium, comes into the attack0.6

Shami to Dhawan, no ball, another short delivery, Dhawan sways back and lets it go, a harsh call from the umpire. KP has a word with him0.4
Shami to Dhawan, FOUR, shortens the length on the stumps, Dhawan does not miss out this time, as there was not much pace on that, he rocks back and pulls it in front of mid-wicket0.3
Shami to Dhawan, byes, FOUR, poor effort from Karthik, who gets two hands and lets it go through, quick bouncer on leg-stump, Dhawan does not get bat on the hook, and Hyderabad get some bonus runs
A slip in place...0.2
Shami to Finch, 1 run, back of a length outside off, Finch toe-ends the punch to the left of mid-off and gets off the mark0.1
Shami to Finch, no run, Finch does not want any sighters, goes after the length delivery outside off, he fails to connect
Finch and Dhawan are at the crease. Finch is on strike. Shami will open the attack
The Delhi players are in a huddle and the Hyderabad openers are walking out to the middle. Play about to start...
The revised target for Hyderabad will be 117 in 15 overs.
The covers are coming off. Looks like the umpires have decided the start time and have had a word with both the coaches. Stay tuned as we will bring you the official word..
The rain has stopped and the umpires are out in the middle inspecting the conditions. The resumption might not be too far away.
The rain is not that heavy as the players are out there chatting with each other. Since we are past the one hour cut-off mark in the game, overs will start getting deducted.
Bad news folks! Just when KP and his men were ready to take the field, the rain decides to play spoilsport again. The covers are coming on and the entire square is being covered.
Steyn and Bhuvi finished it up with a volley of pin-point yorkers and slower balls. Henriques also chipped in with a couple of wickets with the icing on the cake being Mishra snaring 100 wickets in the Indian T20 League. Over to Hyderabad's batsmen now. They will have to pull up their socks and bat to potential.
It was a start-stop innings from Delhi. The rain delay did not help their cause either. Pietersen offered a bright start, connecting the lofted-drives but could not kick on. Just when Dinesh Karthik seemed to be in his elements, the rain came down. Though he smacked a few after the break as well, Shukla leaked all the momentum away at the other end with his sluggish 21.19.6
Steyn to K Jadhav, out Caught by I Pathan!! Wonderful performance from the Hyderabad bowlers again. This was a full toss on off, deserved to be put away. Jadhav looks to swipe it over mid-wicket, he only manages a leading-edge that loops over towards point, Pathan runs to his left, steadies himself underneath the ball and completes the catch. Pathan has his arms stretched in joy. K Jadhav c I Pathan b Steyn 5(11)

I Pathan to K Jadhav, 1 run, Jadhav shuffles across, Pathan fires it full, whipped away to backward square leg, where Steyn makes an agile diving stop. Dhawan rushes to Steyn to see if his main man is alright. He seems to be up and okay17.4

Henriques to D Karthik, out Caught by Steyn!! Steyn takes a smart leaping catch. He is pumped, super pumped as DK walks back. This was the attempted slower cutter from Henriques, it ends up as a full toss, Karthik looks to smack it over long-off but mishits it. The ball seemed to balloon over Steyn but he timed his jump to perfection to complete a top catch. Good awareness of where the boundary was. D Karthik c Steyn b Henriques 39(30) [4s-1 6s-2]

The covers are coming off the field. There will be an inspection in about five minutes. The action will resume in a short while.
Looks like the rain has stopped now. The ground-staff begin the clean up operation. Do stay tuned for further updates.
It has started raining at Delhi. There is some serious lightning as well. Bad news folks, the rain has picked up. It is actually pouring down. More covers arrive on the field.
Oops, have the heavens opened up? Rain is yet to come down but the ground-staff rush to the middle with the elongated covers as a precautionary measure. It has gone pitch dark at Delhi. We will have to watch and wait. Hopefully, the rain gods show some mercy and offer us a full game. The players troop off the field to their dug-outs. Meanwhile, Warner, Henriques and Rahul play football by the boundary line. Overs will start getting docked after an hour.13.1

Karn Sharma [1.0-0-14-0] is back into the attack8.6
Mishra to L Shukla, no run, an optimistic appeal for leg before but the umpire shakes his head. That was the googly angling in, Shukla manages an inside edge onto the pads. Was the impact on pad first? Yes, the impact was pad first. The umpire does not think so. That seemed plumb and out
Laxmi Shukla, right handed bat, comes to the crease8.5
Mishra to M Agarwal, out Caught by Warner!! Two in two overs for Mishy. Agarwal has also thrown away his start, he holes out to deep mid-wicket.

Change in bowling after the break. Mishy is in..
Having bumped himself to the top of the order, KP has lent that fillip. Those two lofted drives were indications of him returning to form. Can he cash in and lead his side to a healthy total?5.6

Steyn to M Agarwal, FOUR, crunched! This was fraction back of a length and on off, Agarwal slaps it away past point, the ball races away to the third man fence. Lovely sound as the bat met the ball2.5
Steyn to M Agarwal, no run, has Agarwal been strangled down leg? The umpire is unmoved. Steyn wears a smile on his face. This was short and sliding down leg, Agarwal cannot tickle it away. The umpire does not signal it a wide either. Was there a deflection? There was no conclusive proof, I have to say
Mayank Agarwal, right handed bat, comes to the crease2.4
Steyn to de Kock, out Caught by Rahul!! Not the best of deliveries from Steyn but he won't mind. The dangerous de Kock walks back in a forlorn fashion. This was a harmless length ball wide outside off, de Kock looks to drive it powerfully, he mishits it straight to Rahul at short cover. He was initially off-put but steadies himself and grabs it. In fact, it was the cross-seamer from Steyn. de Kock c Rahul b Steyn 7(12)

Steyn to de Kock, no run, pitched up and on the stumps, the drive was on but de Kock mishits it back to Steyn2.2

Bhuvneshwar to de Kock, no run, fraction back of a length and on off, defended to cover1.4
Bhuvneshwar to de Kock, no run, full and on off, de Kock drops it in front of his feet in ungainly fashion. Perhaps, he was waiting for the ball to swing away1.3

Steyn to de Kock, no run, 142kph fullish and nibbling away late outside off, de Kock reads it and lets it pass to the keeper
de Kock and Pietersen are at the crease. de Kock is on strike. Steyn will open the attack
Hyderabad are in the middle of a huddle with their team anthem playing in the background. Quinton de Kock has a new opening partner in KP. He stressed on leading from the front at the toss.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (Playing XI): Shikhar Dhawan(c), Aaron Finch, Lokesh Rahul, David Warner, Naman Ojha(w), Karn Sharma, Moises Henriques, Irfan Pathan, Dale Steyn, Amit Mishra, Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Delhi Daredevils (Playing XI): Quinton de Kock, Mayank Agarwal, Kevin Pietersen(c), Dinesh Karthik(w), Jean-Paul Duminy, Kedar Jadhav, Laxmi Shukla, Rahul Shukla, Siddarth Kaul, Imran Tahir, Mohammed Shami
Pietersen: "We would have bowled first as well. It looks a good batting wicket. Whoever bats the best will win . We have 3 changes with Imran Tahir, Rahul Shukla and Mayank Agarwal coming in. Vijay, Parnell and Nadeem are out. We can't change things from the past. As a leader you have to lead from the front. It is my responsibility. It is not easy but it is enjoyable. We have to change our attitude. We were disappointed the way we lost the last fixture. We can't guarantee results but we can guarantee effort and a lot of effort.
Dhawan: "We are going to field first. It is a small ground. We are unchanged. It has been a rollercoaster for us. But I feel that the tournament is still open. We have to keep winning and get to the top four. It is a wonderful feeling to be back in Delhi. I was happy with the bowling performance against Rajasthan, the fielding was good as well. We will have to improve in batting. I want one batsman to bat till 20 overs."
Sunrisers Hyderabad have won the toss and have opted to field
We were treated to a high scoring encounter though when these two teams last met in this season with Hyderabad edging KP's men. A warm welcome to the first game of the double-header today.
After their bowlers protected 134 against Rajasthan, Hyderabad have climbed to fifth from seventh. While their varied bowling attack is their strength, it is imperative for the batsmen to step up to the plate, for it would be unfair to expect the bowlers defend smallish totals every single game.
With just a meagre two victories in eight matches Delhi face the onerous task of winning all their remaining games to stay in the hunt for the play-offs. South African leg-spinner - Imran Tahir has joined the side as a replacement for the injured Nathan Coulter-Nile. Can he engineer a turnaround for the bottom-dwelling Delhi side? Or will they face the same predicament of copping the wooden spoon for the second successive year?
Delhi Daredevils face a must-win situation when they face a resurgent Sunrisers Hyderabad. The odds are stacked against them though. Their home record has been quite abysmal, losing 9 of their previous 10 games at the Ferozeshah Kotla.
Delhi Daredevils:
With just two wins out of eight games, the Daredevils are languishing at the bottom of the points table and only a miracle performance from here on can seal their place in the knock-out stages of the T20 event. The Delhi outfits only two wins so far this season came in the UAE leg of the tournament.
While Delhi's batting has been inconsistent in the tournament so far, the patchy and unimpressive performance of the bowlers -- Mohammad Shami, Wayne Parnell, Siddharth Kaul and Shahbaz Nadeem -- did not help the sides cause either.
The poor form of their star player and captain Kevin Pietersen has added to Delhi's misery. Pietersen has just managed 62 runs from five innings which is big way off from his usual lofty standards.
Belief is something which seems to be missing in Delhi players, who would be looking for inspiration from some quarters to avenge upon their loss against Sunrisers in their previous outing this year.
Sunrisers Hyderabad:
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), on the other hand, will be a more confident lot going into tomorrows match, especially after the morale-boosting 32-run win over Rajasthan Royals which kept them afloat in the top-four race.
Sunrisers now find themselves in the fifth spot with three wins from seven games.
Just like Daredevils, Sunrisers batting too has been inconsistent -- an example of which was visible in last nights match against Rajasthan as the Shikhar Dhawan-led side could only muster 134 runs for nine in their alloted 20 overs.
But the bowlers came to Sunrisers rescue as led by young Bhuvneshwar Kumar (4/14) the Hyderabad side bowled out Rajasthan for a paltry 102.
Bhuvneshwars senior pace colleague Dale Steyn (2/33) took two wickets while Karn Sharma, Moises Henriques and Irfan Pathan scalped wicket apiece in a collective bowling effort to ensure the win for Sunrisers.
But it is skipper Dhawan who will need to lead from the front in the batting department. He showed glimpses of returning to form against Rajasthan with a quick-fire 33.
A good start is of paramount importance in this form of the game, and Dhawan knows it too well. He has the aggressive Aaron Finch for company and if the duo gets going, it will be ominous for the opposition. Then there is in-form David Warner who lends muscle to the middle-order.
I am enjoying bowling with one of the best fast bowlers in the world. He is the one who always talks and shares experiences regarding the different situations in a match - >Bhuvneshwar Kumar on bowling alongside Dale Steyn

Having to go to work almost every day would, currently, have to be my worst hardship. Been doing the same thing for the past twelve years and it's made me feel less of a human and more a machine of biological construction. I could quit but then I'd loose my income and that would only make things worse. Not to mention that in my current mental state I can't even force myself to think that I could possibly do any better. It seems like any move I make would only result in things going down hill. A classic "don't rock the boat" situation, and the boat is sitting very low in the water.
Death of 2 of my siblings
My current hardship right now is that im 20 years old and will be turning 21 this March and i'm only 5'4 and I have a babyface. People always view me as a 16 year old kid and don't take me seriously. It gets in the way of finding a girlfriend
I would go on about horrible family life, but that story has been told too may times.
I had a horrible Staph infection that nearly killed me. The mrsa variation in particular. It was a horrible experience due to the nature of that sort of infection. You can google up some pictures. But I'm 100% recovered and all my skin is in tact.
My anxiety.
الموت لجميع. // Active. // Online. // The xx - Angels
The friendzone is truly relentless
That aside, my thoughts go out to all of the people here who are having medical problems, problems with family, or what have you. I hope things get better for all of you regardless of situation.
In 1981 My mother, Grandmother lived on the streets of SF for a year or so. i missed my entire 3rd grade year. ever the film The Pursuit of Happyness ? My mom and I were turned Away from the same shelter That Will smith tried to stay at. It was a women's shelter. I was considered too old. We would sleep in bathrooms in the BART and MUNI stations. Our main food source was St Anthony's Dining hall (they served breakfast and would sometimes run out of food) and whatever we could scrounge up. My preacher uncle tried to get me to stay with them while mom got back on her feet. I said no. if i had stayed there i would not have seen my mother or grandmother. and i could not do that to them.
Just before we were able to get back on our feet. an old woman tried to turn mom into CPS. then i skipped 3rd grade. not because i passed because i would not be held back. i met my father for the first time when i was 12. all he wanted was a playmate.
Our experiences make us who we are. Good or Bad.
You got a bad attitude Pops. Lighten up before your arteries harden!
To be completely honest, I've yet suffered anything I would consider hardship...
If "Nobody" is indestructible...Then I'm "Nobody"....!!!
It's very hard to overcome things like paranoia and depression. I for one never properly had depression, I ended up having a sleeping disorder where I literely slept during the day to avoid everyone because I had fell out with my flat mates over nothing. Then after meeting a girl, she ended up forcing me into a relationship and a month later announced she was pregnant, even though all the precautions were used. Now I'm stuck at 20 years of age, in a 3 bedroom apartment struggling to meet my university's demands, having to work whenever possible and have to deal with living with someone that I detest while trying to do what I can for the daughter I never wanted.
It may sound very awful to say that, but It's personally how I feel.
For me it was getting through with my first university degree. IT was incredibly hard for me, commuting each way 2 hours to campus, doing something routinely (when I'm a spontaneous person), going beyond the extend of my intelligence... it was crazy and hectic.
First year courses were just high school repeats, but man, second and third year stuffs are really... really difficult, it made me feel like I'm really stupid.
Wrapping my head around the 10 step process of glycolysis was... freaking mind shattering, and the worse part is that I have to remember ALL 10 steps and what happened in each one for the exams. It was crazy, I'm telling you.
My other specialty was English Literature, and I had to read texts from Virginia Woolf's Orlando and T.S. Eliot's The Wasteland. Holy crap, two of the MOST difficult texts from English. If you thought Shakespeare was hard, there is something even harder than Shakespeare.
I actually understand and love Shakespeare's plays. But Virginia Woolf, I have no idea what she was smoking when was writing her novels.
My Bachelor of Science is something I'm very proud of, it's not a symbol of my intelligence, but a symbol of my hard work and perseverance (especially the 4 hours commuting part everyday for 5 years).
When I have more money and free time, I'm considering going back to university to get another Bachelor of Science (in Physics or Nanotechnology). I love to challenge myself and pushing myself to the limits.
The way I hold you and the night just seems to fly
Wow, thanks for sharing your story. I'm going through a really tough time right now. It's nowhere near as bad as yours but it still none the less affected my life dramatically. So much to the point that I'm sort of "stuck" right now in my situation. However reading this has given me a lot of hope that things will eventually get better. Thanks a lot for sharing!

That's a small issue.
Sorry, I had to. Take it from me who is also quite small (And if I didn't grow my beard out to look full hobo I cannot get anything without ID), but anyone who would judge you on criteria like height (unfortunately most people) probably isn't good for you anyway. Shame it's such a shallow world we live in.
I'm also reading every one of these. I can't really offer much help, but life is always a story worth hearing.
Nothing i think, maybe that my dad decided to leave my mom when i was 4, but yeah i was young so didnt really register that badly, being forced to move around for the next 7-8years if not more constantly so never really any friends, atleast i was able to stay in the same school ^^'
Maybe also the fact that i dont talk to my brother anymore solely because of his wife being a horrible person.
But currently its my job mostly, because i work at night every weekday and sleep all day i dont really meet any people, neither am i really able to hang out with my friends much because they're all the age where they wanna go out and drink themselves shitfaced every weekend while i dont really care for drinking at all so yah, not really a hard life, or any hardships, just myself holding myself back with my own lazy attitude mixed with not knowing what to do.
fish go m00
When my dog got hit by an SUV in front of my house...
and the SUV driver just kept going...
I don't remember.

Problems with Call of Duty: Ghosts offline play related to pre-release code, says Penello
So basically an Xbox 360 1.5? Penello also said that he couldn't give a definitive answer which I find very strange.
You're disgusting.
Yep censorship on n4g, smh you cant post or talk about this: http://attackofthefanboy.co...
We can talk about every facet of microsoft drm policies but the subject when discussing sony is taboo despite sites reporting sonys TOS **CHANGED** to this:
"You must not resell either Disc-based Software or Software Downloads, unless expressly authorized by us and, if the publisher is another company, additionally by the publisher."
Sony is the saviour of the industry!
Only MS could something like that and therefore must have snuck it into Sony Terms of Service. There is no other explanation possible.
has 720p res just like 360 too lol. Maybe this time it can hit 720p without having to upscale to it though.
New account! This poor guy/girl probably has dozens of N4G accounts. The length that some Sony fanboys go, amazes me.
That's what I call dedication... and no personal life.
As for "Microsoft shuts down latest Xbox One DRM rumours - console works "exactly" like the Xbox 360" that's good news, if true.
Based on new functionality and innovation, if the Xbone is 1.5, the. The PS4 is another PS3 remodel.
And why should we believe this with their track record, banning practices, and NDAs?
Thank you!
Why Should they get the benefit of the doubt about anything?
With all the 180 done, false information given, misleading, unjustified banning done until today, it's agreeably easy to say they don't deserve the benefit of doubt.
In the words of Futurama, (Amy) "Fool me seven times, shame on you. Fool me eight or more times, shame on me. "
So what are your choices. You either believe this guy or you wait until Nov 22nd, get yourself an X1 and check it out. But of course you are not interested in what the manufacturer of the console has to say, the rumors are a lot more to your conviction.
Funny you still allude to them all being rumors.
Everything wound up being 100% accurate. They weren't rumors. They were............oh yeah, facts.
It doesn't work exactly like an Xbox 360 because with an Xbox 360 (I had one so I know) you could play games right out of the box.
Nexus 7 2013
They meant exactly as 360 as in they both have a power button and controller;) lol
In terms of DRM genius.
In terms of DRM with the Xbox 360 you can play retail copies out of the box. But with the Xbox One you have to download a patch to mask the Xbox Ones DRM system.
How's your wife Peg doing?
Nexus 7 2013
Its good that Microsoft is starting to respond quickly to these rumors and shut them down before they blow up. i just wish they would have learned this lesson sooner.
I wouldn't really say this has been shut down? Still many questons to be answered around this topic, for one: Why do they have DRM protection this close to Launch when it was months ago they conducted the 180.
That's exactly right
They tryed to push there drm back in June!
That was 6 months ago
Why can't you just play the x1 right out of the box?
They are pushing it right now.
Forza needs the cloud to run the game at 1080p 60fps...
Are we really gonna have to settle for day one patches for every game now? I'd love to open the box and jump right in
If by exactly, he meant the word exactly, then no. You can just refuse whatever patch there may or may not be.
This is a age of internet, no more do consoles and games have to be released completed, now they can just patch all there mistakes.
Man... gaming is a mess.
mostly our fault.
Don't count me in there, I'm doing my part. No matter how much I like Killer Instinct, I'm not giving them my money. I'm not supporting their sht!
@ insomnia fanboys like you are the reason I left the play station brand to be honest
You say that as if anyone cares. I don't see how someone who stopped supporting a product because continuing to support it ran contrary to their principles can be defined as a fanboy. I don't get that, at all. So what is a fanboy, anyone who doesn't show absolute commitment to a product, no matter what?
@ True_samurai you cant seriously blame a few comments by fanboys for leaving a brand. It pisses me off it really does sometimes but sometimes they are a laugh.
@LeCrueset I see you cared enough to reply lol :p You're just another example
@SirBradders nawl n4g is 10% of my reason the rest comes online with them, YouTube, IGN, meeting few personally etc. Sooooo yeah
Microsoft is the mess.
I don't think Microsoft understand the rumours. that dude wasn't able to access anything on his console, so basically what people are complaining about is that Microsoft wield far too much power over your console.
or maybe I misunderstood I dunno but that is what struck me.
It's not that Microsoft doesn't understand, it's that the people complaining don't understand...
The xb1 doesn't have full functionality without a day 1 update. Mr. Swami does not have that update, so he's working on an old build. It's not a question of DRM, it's a matter of a non-member of the beta team not having access to prerelease software.
I thought he did have the update though. I'm not sure though, i'm not 100% clued up on all of this :p
He got AN update, not THE update. All of the official beta testers have the day one patch. He logged in and accessed the beta servers and ended up downloading the most current beta software, but not the day one patch, since it isn't live yet.
Ah right i understand now. So basically people are massively over reacting again and don't want to listen to common sense because they love to take a dig at Xbox One right now right ?
This is a duplicate story and needs to be taken down as it provides no new data apart from what was posted earlier at:
Albert responds to DRM/COD "offline" issues http://n4g.com/news/1391003...
Not sure how this got through as the original story is still on the front page.
A good post from Gamefaqs. I take no credit for this:-
Microsoft reveals XBox One Console
Everybody hates it due to DRM
Larry tells everybody you can't just 'flip a switch and get rid of it'
Microsoft changes mind on DRM and say's a day one patch will remove it
**3 Months later**
Microsoft claims the day one patch has nothing to do with DRM
I'm sorry, but what?!?
People who weren't going to get a X1 in the first place asking "why should be believe this" is silly.
lmao...my thoughts exactly..a bunch of biased, narrrow minded chumps.....smh
vvvv Imalwaysright
"after everything they've done since the X1 reveal"
You mean all those things that they actually NEVER did since the console launches 5he 22nd, and to micros credit they change all those things the WERE going to do, whether motivated by bad PR or preorder sales they absolutey did NOT do anything to you, and yes sonyfanboys complaining about it is even worst because they weren't ever buying an X1 anyway.
Yes you are wrong.
Oh? They didn't do all those 180s? Aren't they blaming consumers because their initial plan failed? Aren't they saying that they're still commited to their initial vision?
"they absolutey did NOT do anything to you"
They are blaming ME and everyone that likes to own their games and console for their failed policies which means they feel they've done nothing wrong. This alone tells me everything I need to know about MS as a company. It tells me they don't care about the most basic rights that we have as consumers so no, I do not trust them and I don't believe in anything that comes out of the mouth of their PR representatives period. You can cry and call me a fanboy all day long because it won't change a damn thing.
Unless you're in the habit of rewarding failure, I don't really see how you make such a big distinction out of MS trying to screw people over and MS succeeding at screwing people over.
It is exactly because some of us don't trust MS that we're not getting a X1! After all the 180s, spinning, blame game and them saying "we're commited to the initial vision" don't expect some gamers to feel safe to make a long term investment on the X1 because that is exactly what a console is.
What is silly to me is to expect every gamer to trust MS after everything they've done since the X1 reveal.
shhh! No logic here. Only blind obedience.
So wait I'm confused, you think blindly believing conspiracy theories is logic? As compared to believing an official statement? Well heck maybe I did the most illogical thing but I looked up the facts for myself (sounds crazy right?)
Can you blame them after all the lies, mistruths and miscommunication MS has spewed in the last few months?
I think any level headed gamer would immediate take a step back to anything MS says now and at least analyse the information.
I personally take everything MS says with a truck load of salt and wait for actual proof or confirmation from an impartial 3rd party before I believe anything they say.
Having said all that I believe what Penello is saying is mostly true that it's just the complicated mess that comes with constantly updating the OS and that most of these issues will be ironed out in time for launch.
MS would not be stupid enough to creep the DRM back in this early. Although I did say MS wouldn't be stupid enough to include DRM in the first place, so I guess I should expect anything from that company.
It is very confusing though when Penello says the patch doesn't remove the DRM, and that the DRM wasn't built into the system when we were also told a few months back that the DRM is built into the core of the console and that MS "can't just flip a switch" to get rid of it.
Seems a bit fishy to me. And not the good kind of fish.
so... the game won't run because the OS build isn't up to date... this mean that if someone doesn't update the OS, it can't play offline. and this mean a period online check.
nice trick.
"console works exactly like the Xbox 360"
You mean it runs most games in 720p?
Regardless MS and Sony said that they would allow Third party devs to use DRM is the chose to. MS and all their reps need to shut up now and let the Games and gamers talk for the system
Not really.. Microsoft are in a lose lose situation on here at least. Whatever they say, it'll be criticized and if they don't say anything, they'll be criticized even further and rumours will spread like wildfire.
And and here comes ppls conspiracy theories and negative thinking.... Predictable, and narrow minded..
N4G - making mountains out of molehills.
My god i have never seen such a bunch of sony fanboys in my life. You keep questioning the day one update like, why doesn't the console work straight out of the box blah blah blah. Just stfu already your acting like the ps4 doesn't have a day one update to. Everything these days have day one updates my damn tv had one. Day one updates are to get the software up to date. Which is exactly what is happening in this case. Go ahead and down vote me and all that is a typical fanboy maneuver and has really gotten old already. I just seriously want to know why people sit on the internet for hours a day bashing a product/company that there not even going to purchase/from. The fact that people cant say that there getting a xbox one without having a sony fanboy come in and start bashing that person saying why would you get that its not even a true gaming console, or want a true next gen experience buy the ps4. Seriously ps4 launches in 3 days and you guys are still sitting here bashing the xbox get a damn life this has been going on since May.
So how many comments here have bashed someone for saying they want to get an Xbox One versus the number of immature comments, such as yours, whining because gamers are giving an opinion on a gaming company/console in the comments section on a gaming site?
I think it's pretty silly that you MS diehards all of a sudden want to change the rules as if only loyalists of a product can comment on an article about that product. It's illogical and sad that you have to push that in lieu of any real argument. If that's going to be the MS diehards' stance, at least be consistent. Don't complain about the presence of Sony fans if you're going to name drop and blame Sony fans every time MS does something to shoot itself in the foot.
But yet in this case Microsoft didn't shoot them self in the foot is my point but people are acting like they did. When Microsoft come out to say the rumor aren't true people don't believe it when it comes straight from the console creators mouths. But when a simple internet rumor comes out saying one little thing that no one knows anything about they automatically assume its real. So why is it that when Microsoft come out and tell you straight up people don't believe it but they believe stupid internet rumor.
I'll be happy to answer that question Mikey.
First, let me correct your claim that MS didn't shoot themselves in the foot. They did. This whole controversy is the result of them banning the guy in the first place. Now they are getting more negative press from this DRM rumor, which only came about because they banned him, than they likely would have received in the first place. To take it back even further, DRM and patches to play offline wouldn't even be an issue had MS not tried to pull a fast one by introducing the DRM to begin with. These are problems that MS created for themselves.
Onto your question. I don't see how you can honestly ask that question at this point. Anyone paying the slightest bit of attention already knows the answer. Come on Mikey. Which is it: they can't just flip a switch to turn of the DRM, they can turn off the DRM with a day one update, or this latest contradiction that the day one update has nothing to do with DRM? Then take into account Microsoft's history of deception and evasion. Then take into account how so many rumors you'd think wouldn't be true turned out to be true, like always on, used game restrictions, launch country cancellations, inferior tech, not being ready for launch, resolutiongate (interesting how many Xbox diehards attacked the rumor that Xbox wasn't ready for launch, but now fall back on that to explain the resolution disparity), etc.. When the "stupid internet rumor(s)" start having more truth to them than the b.s. coming out of MS, then people will stop giving M.S. the benefit of the doubt and start believing the rumors.
Now, I've answered your question. Can you finally answer mine: So how many comments here have bashed someone for saying they want to get an Xbox One versus the number of immature comments, such as yours, whining because gamers are giving an opinion on a gaming company/console in the comments section on a gaming site?
There are things I'm not happy about on all the consoles, more so on the XB1 but this is good news and explains that they just don't have the "day one patch" ready.
He says DRM was never built into the console to begin with but I call bullshit. Then why can't he access settings or play offline? And if you're telling me that when you're banned, you can't even play offline, that's just as bad, if not worse than DRM.
And I quote
"There is no "DRM removal" in the Day One update because none of the consoles were ever built with that stuff in it.
Do they really think I'm gonna believe that. If so what the hell is that day one patch for?
Console "Works" exactly like the 360 is wrong, it's not finished yet.
Here's his post:
He said:
"When we launch, console will work exactly as you expect today on 360."
"When we launch" & "will", meaning that's what they're aiming for, it doesn't imply that it's working just like a 360 NOW.
(I wish there was a bold option)
I just cancel my pre-order today im probably getting a ps4

LOVELAND -- A 7-year-old Mary Blair Elementary School student says he's confused about getting in trouble for trying to save the world from evil, though Thompson School District officials contend that the boy broke one of the school's "absolutes."
Parent Mandie Watkins said Mary Blair principal Valerie Lara-Black called her Friday afternoon to inform her that her second-grade son, Alex, had been suspended for throwing an imaginary grenade during recess on the playground.
Alex did not have anything in his hand at the time and made no threats toward other people, Watkins reportedly was told.
Watkins said Alex's story matched up with the principal's account: He threw the pretend grenade at an imaginary box that had something evil inside.
He was going to save the earth this way, and when he threw the grenade he pretended that the box exploded, in apparent success.
"He is very confused," Watkins told the Reporter-Herald on Tuesday. "I'm confused as well, so it makes it hard for me to enforce these rules when I don't even understand them."
The rules are laid out by Mary Blair Elementary School in a list of "absolutes" that are posted on the school's website and are aimed at making Mary Blair a safe environment.
Included in those absolutes are no physical abuse or fighting – real or play – and the no-weapons absolute also covers real or play weapons.
District policy does not prohibit imaginary weapons, but Superintendent Stan Scheer said individual schools are permitted to add enhancements to the general student code of conduct.
"It fell under that set of local policy they have in the building, and it was shared with all parents in the community at the beginning of the year," Scheer said.
The district does not discuss disciplinary issues, but Scheer said there's more to the story than he was able to comment on.
"There's a whole student side that we just don't talk about," he said. "It's a bit one-sided with the parent's point of view."
Watkins said her son has been in trouble one other time at the school, for accessing other students' reading accounts on the computer, but she has not been informed of him making threats or acting violent.
According to Mary Blair's absolutes procedure, a student is allowed two non-severe, non-suspension occurrences, and a third occurrence leads to a formal suspension. Every absolute that is broken following the first suspension automatically results in a suspension.
Watkins has a meeting Wednesday with Lara-Black and Paul Bankes, director of elementary education. She's hoping to get the suspension lifted and would also like the rule itself to be revised.
"They need to have rules that are clear-cut, easy to understand and realistic for this age group," Watkins said.

After a brief scare Thursday, Acclamation, the champion older male of 2011, was declared fit and ready by trainer Don Warren and could run in the $150,000 Mervyn LeRoy Handicap Saturday at Betfair Hollywood Park.
A Grade II at 1 1/16 miles on Cushion Track, the LeRoy is one of three stakes on a program that will also include the simulcast of the 138th Kentucky Derby from Churchill Downs.
According to Warren, Acclamation took "a few bad steps" Thursday in preparation for a start for Friday's Inglewood Handicap. "We can't take a chance with a horse like this," Warren declared. "But the x-rays were clean, his legs were cold and he galloped perfect Saturday and Sunday."
"We really wanted to get a race into him before the Whittingham (the $250,000, Grade I Charles Whittingham Memorial Handicap at 1 1-4 miles on turf June 9)," Warren added. Now that we're sure he's OK, he'll probably run in the 'LeRoy. He'll ship to Betfair Hollywood Park to work Tuesday and then we'll make the final decision.''
In other LeRoy news, Farish, Dixiana Stables and Thoroughbred Legend Racing Stable's Morning Line will make his first start of the year and first for John Shirreffs. "I really like what I've seen so far," said Shirreffs. He looks very competitive and like typical Tiznows, he's very versatile. The owners just decided to give him some time off after his last race."
In his most recent start last Aug. 6 at Saratoga, the 5-year-old, who was previously trained by Nick Zito, finished 11th in the Grade 1 Whitney, but his resume includes a victory in the Grade I Carter Handicap April 9, 2011 at Aqueduct. Joe Talamo has the assignment.
Bill Spawr was stunned in both a good way and a bad way after Streakin' Mohican's course setting victory over $32,000 claimers Saturday.
"I thought he'd run good, but not that good," said the veteran trainer after seeing his runner stop the timer in 1:07.24, a record for six furlongs on turf. "(Rafael Bejarano) was just sitting on him through the stretch."
Moments later, Spawr was surprised to learn that the Songandaprayer gelding had been claimed by Wilton Whitehouse.
"I'm sorry to lose him, the way he ran. But he's a difficult horse to train and he does have some issues. It's a shame though, because we put so much work into him."
Spawr also remarked that stable star Amazombie is scheduled to leave for Kentucky Monday at 1:30 a.m. "I'll be on a plane right behind him," the trainer continued.
The 6-year-old, who was the champion sprinter of 2011, will be running in the $400,000 Churchill Downs Stakes at 7 furlongs Kentucky Derby Day. Now 11 for 25 with a bankroll exceeding $1.6 million, Amazombie won the Breeders' Cup Sprint in his only other start at the Twin Spires.
In many ways, Joe Talamo is far ahead of his years, but at heart he's a typical 22-year-old who keeps in touch through social media sites like Twitter and Facebook.
The Louisiana native, who recently passed the 1,000 winner mark, was only 19 when he was introduced to Twitter. " I first started in 2009," explained the affable rider. jun "The NTRA (National Thoroughbred Racing Association) actually got me to do it when I was riding I Want Revenge. I didn't have a clue as to what Twitter was and I really didn't do much with it at the time. I left it alone for almost two years, then last year I just got back into it for some reason. Then it just exploded. I think I have close to 8,700 followers (8,765 as of April 27). I never would have thought I would get so many, but it just keeps spiraling up.
Talamo seems to be enjoying his time on line. "Yeah, it's a lot of fun and I think it's real important to keep the fans interactive. I wish more people (in the industry) would do it because I think it helps to bring more fans to the races. I've talked to a lot of people who came to the track because they saw it on Twitter. That's really why I do it. It's a lot of fun, but at the same time I feel kind of an obligation to try and bring as many people out as I can."
"Social media has definitely been real important," the rider continued. "The tracks have gotten into it, too. I think all three of the Southern California tracks have a Twitter account (Betfair Hollywood Park's is @Hollyparkracing) and in between meetings they post news and other racing related items. I think that's important to our industry.
"When I started out slowly at Santa Anita, I got quite a reaction. A lot of it was good. Some bad, but that's with anything really. It was really a nice feeling that most people stuck by me like that. I've met a lot of them at the track."
"As I was approaching 1,000 victories, the fans were getting into it. Somebody came up with the hash tag #Chasing1000 and every now and then I would do a giveaway. I think I did two. I would give away things like whips and goggles if they re-tweeted the message. We'd usually get 200 and up in the contest."
"I like interacting with the fans anyway, but even if it helps get just an extra two or three people, it's more than not doing anything."
"Sometimes people tweet to congratulate me after I win a race and many times I re-tweet an answer right from the jock's room. It's so easy, you can log on to it just like that on your phone. My agent (Scott McClellan) is on there (Twitter), but he doesn't have much to do with technological stuff. He does tweet a little, but I'm trying to get him to do it a more."
Interaction isn't the only reason he stays connected. "You know what, I also like it because you get so much news. I follow Daily Racing Form, Bloodhorse, Thoroughbred Times and all the tracks because you really get some important stuff before anyone else does. Sometimes I get news about horses I'm riding even before my agent.
"To me, it's like the future of networking because it has that immediate response, and that's really what people want."
You can follow Talamo on Twitter using his screen name @Joe Talamo and "Friend" him on his Joe Talamo Facebook page.

But that school of thought isn't true. Not even a little bit.
Take my trusty Nikon D3s. Up until recently(the new Nikon D4 and Canon 1Dx are slight improvements) it was considered by many to be the one of the best cameras ever produced. Some Publications called it the best.
How many megapixels is it? A measly 12. The new iPhone, which costs approximately $600 to the D3s' $5000, is 8 megapixels. Not far behind.
What makes the D3s so amazing? Up to 11 frames per second and it can see better in the dark than I can with amazingly low noise(digital equivalent to film grain) for starters. It is a camera built for speed. A journalist's camera.
The Nikon D800 is the exact opposite. At 36 megapixels it is the highest resolution dslr to date. It's remarkably slow, getting 4 frames per second. Want to shoot in a poorly lit room? You better have a tripod ready because the low ISO range won't allow you to hand hold. Not a good camera for on-the-go photojournalists.
In short, it's built for a completely different purpose than the D3s.
Why did i get the D800 then? Mostly the HD video.
But that isn't to say it's not an amazing stills camera. It is. Phenomenal even. It does things my D3s can only dream of doing.
It is the perfect art photography camera. Great for landscapes, still life, portraits, macro, wildlife. All things I want to get back into as a hobby.
I haven't had a chance to really put the D800 to the test yet but I have shot a few samples. The first shot shows how much detail the camera can pick up. It's called a 100% crop. A peice of a photo shown at true 1:1 size to show quality. Pixel peeping. First up is the D800.

And for comparison, the D3s:

What does this mean? Larger prints with greater detail. For work it means I can shoot something like a crime scene from very far away, crop the image down a lot and still have a printable photo.
What I'm really looking forward to is shooting an interesting multimedia piece for work. The quality of the video is outstanding. Here are a couple basic videos shot with it so far.
Is the D800 better than other lower resolution cameras? In some respects, yes. But it also fails where lower resolution camera excel. Is it a great camera? Absolutely.
I can't wait to really put it to good use.
