|The ultimate Vespa motor scooter to date! Vespa's GTS 300 Super is the sum of sixty years worth of scooter style and technology. Powered by a 22-hp 278cc four-stroke single cylinder, liquid-cooled, electronic injection engine, the GTS 300 Super was designed for the 21st century.
The Vespa GTS 300 Super is factory equipped with 120/70-12 front tires, and 130/70-12 rear tires. Due to their superior tread longevity, we recommend the Michelin Pilot City or Michelin Pilot Sport SC tires in these sizes.
These scooters require a 12 volt, 12 amp battery.

With ten minutes to go in the third period, both referees were standing next to the penalty boxes, reviewing a potential goal-against the Colorado Avalanche, that would end up not counting, due to a high stick. This was a key moment in the game for the Avs, as they came back from a 3-1 deficit, to steal a 4-3 win in overtime against the San Jose Sharks.
The Sharks had everything going right for them, as they scored 48 seconds into the game, which put the Avs on their heels right from the get-go. From then on, the Sharks spent the majority of the time in the Avs zone, and threw everything they had at goalie Peter Budaj.
While the Avs commited four penalties in the first period (Brandon Yip had committed a double minor for high-sticking), the Colorado overcame a barrage of shots to keep one of the better power-play units in the NHL off the scoreboard.
On the fourth Sharks power play of the first period, the Avs were aggressive on the puck, and made Dan Boyle commit a hooking penalty, ending the Sharks power-play. Once Kevin Porter was out of the penalty-box, the Avs had the man advantage and rookie Kevin Shattenkirk scored his first career NHL goal, to tie the game at 1-1.
The Avs couldn't have been too disappointed going into the dressing room after the first period even since the Sharks had controlled most of the play. That sentiment, however, changed when Boyle scored a minute and nine seconds in the second period. From there on it continued to be the Sharks show and they sustained pressure in the Avs zone.
San Jose's Mike Moore scored his first NHL goal when he sent a shot from the point past Budaj. The Avs goalie was screened on the play and never saw Moore's shot until it was already behind him.
With the game at 3-1, it seemed as if the Sharks were going to come out in the third, and seal the deal.
"We came in after the second period, and obviously we didn't play the first two periods how we wanted to," stated Avs defenseman John-Michael Liles. "We didn't play to our identity, to Avalanche hockey. Bottom line is we came in here, we said that we get back to our game plan, hopefully get a goal, and a lot of things can happen."
With a 28 to 12 shot advantage, the Sharks were in full control of the game, and ready to win a game away from the Shark Tank, after dropping their last three on the road.
Then it seemed like all was doomed when the puck went into the Avs net, but yet there was still a glimpse of hope. The referee standing behind the net initially signaled high-stick, and immediately went towards the box for a review. After several minutes of waiting for the confirmation that it was a no-goal, the Avs were still in the game. The no-goal was a turning point for the Avs who suddenly gained momentum and started spending a lot of time in the Sharks zone.
Soon after this, Chris Stewart scored his team leading 11th goal, to bring the Avs to within one.
"We're cycling in our end for 30 seconds there, and then we got to regroup there," affirmed Stewart. "Johnny fed me within the neutral-zone, and I just tried to attack with speed. I tried to shoot low-blocker and it went in going five-hole: no complaints."
This goal gave the Avs a lot more confidence, and this was apparent as they continued to drive the puck toward the opposing net.
With less than four minutes to go in the game, Paul Stastny tied the game with a shot that went over Sharks goalie Antero Niittymaki's shoulder. Niittymaki didn't have a chance as he was screened in front by two Sharks players, and Avs Captain Adam Foote.
The Sharks were stunned, and did their best to try and get a quick goal before the end of the game, but Budaj stayed strong in net, and made the necessary saves to send the game into overtime.
In overtime, the Avs managed most of the play, and at the 2:07 mark, Porter got behind the Sharks defense and slipped the puck past Niittymaki. The Avs benched emptied and soon Porter was surrounded by Avs players to celebrate the come-back victory.
With that goal, the Avs had come-back to steal a victory that looked to be out of reach, and stun a team that appeared to have their first road win in four tries.
"We're showing when we play on our toes, we're tough to contain. We can attack from all angles, we're tough to contain, and we're hard to play against." Stated Stewart.
The Avs now have 21 points, and are only two points behind the Vancouver Canucks, for first place in the Northwest Division.
"It was big," said Avs forward Paul Stastny. "Sometimes you're not going to have the best game, but you kind of find a way to win. Whether that is a turning point part of the season, you can look at it there."

Never once did a response come, it would've gotten her nowhere. With the AI, silence was golden and it was all Chell ever returned whilst solving test upon test. It all seemed endless.
Oh. You again.
[ A sigh. ]
The faster you solve these tests, the closer you are to... nothing, really. Keep going.
Why are you even back again? There's literally nothing here for you.
What option was there? Continuing to move forward, to halt and await death with achieving nothing. The unknown awaited her on the surface, yet she was determined to reach it.
[ It's programmed in her, this inordinate need to explain herself and welcome whoever's waking up from the cryosleep in a pleasant tone.
As if they deserve her compassion. ]
Welcome back to Aperture. You have been asleep for-- hm. A few of you, a long time. Surprise, you're still fat. Congratulations on beating the odds.
Never once did a response come, it would've gotten her nowhere. With the AI, silence was golden and it was all Chell ever returned whilst solving test upon test. It all seemed endless.
Black Forest Cake
Chell had seen her only once within a portrait, buried deep within what Aperture had once been. It was in an instant in which she recognized her, through exploration of the desolate and barren remaints of what had once been society. The town ouside of Aperture's parking lot, once she had reached it that was, remained relativetly unchanged. Aside from buildings and structres degrading into ruin, she recognized the town in which she'd once lived.
It was tempting to being questioning how it was that the long dead woman stood before her, and she approached merely in caution at first. The portal device she carried lowered, useless as a weapon in itself, she'd kept it by her side merely for transporting the companion cube, and the familar weight it held.
Her inquiries would come later, and with a moments pause after aproaching the woman, extended a hand in offering. She had heard nor seen any trace of another living being in days. What had happened during her imprisonment, she could not say. Nor if there was so much as a single other being to be found.
Happy Halloween aarmy!
"Jack's Lament", The All-American Rejects
Nearly all her life had been spent in Aperature. She'd longed for the outside world, of which she had been away from for far too long. Chell had not known what to expect, all those years, but it had been disheartening to discover an empty world, devoid of human life.
The only one she knew who might still live was still deep within Aperature, and one day she would go back, once she found a way. She owed him everything, she had realized, upon her venture through Aperature. One day she would return and search for him.
It was the present which was her priority however, and she ventured further into the store, to the makeshift room of furniture she'd moved around, magazines, books, and newspapers scattered around she'd been reading to pass the time. She crossed the room, with a gesture for him to join her. There was little else to occupy the time but seek answers, and it seemed as if there had been an outright war from what the papers had articles of within them.
Sleep well. (x)

Springforth Internship Program
The purpose of the Springforth Internship program is to provide an opportunity for young adults and (older high school students) to serve God by using their gifts at a high quality event. The internship program also will provide a place for young adults to be paired up with a more experienced individual to learn, and grow in an area they are gifted and passionate about.
It is our hope that through this experience, the young adults who serve will:
a. Gain a vision for the broader work of the church
b. Catch a vision of how they can use their gifts in their local church
c. Stay connected to the Body of Christ
d. Feel valued
e. Gain a sense of how God can use them outside of Springforth
f. Develop a network with those that they have served with
Different Internship Opportunities may include:
- Atrium activities – work with Atrium coordinator to help facilitate different stations as well as crowd control, set-up, tear-down
- Workshop assistant – would work with workshop coordinator to set-up, tear-down workshop spaces and provide directions
- Leaders Conference – would work with Leaders Conference Director during the leaders conference
- Back-Stage – would work with the back stage manager
- Merchandise – would help set-up, tear-down the bookstore and merchandise area, and would help man the merchandise table (s)
- Runner – to work with the volunteer coordinator and / or the director of the MS track to run errands, set-up, tear-down, direct traffic, welcome students, give directions, and assist where ever-else assistance is needed.
Internship Details:
Did you know hunger and malnutrition are one of the world's greatest health risks? One in eight people do not get enough food to be healthy and lead active lives.
That's where YOU come in.
Springforth Youth, YOU have made a huge difference in fighting hunger in Maai Mahiu! Through your 3-year commitment to raising money for food security in Kenya through CBM, you helped over 1,200 families, not just have more to eat, but also work together toward building a healthier community for the future.
First you raised money for seeds. Next, it was trees. Now what is absolutely essential for both those items? TOOLS. Tools are a basic necessity to increase food security. Nothing gets planted or harvested without them! Just think – you have a pile of seeds but nothing to prepare the ground. You have trees but no shovel to help plant them. You have an acre of land that's covered in thorns, weeds and heavy brush, but nothing to clear it. A single tool makes all the difference in farming, and cannot be done without it!
Just $5 buys one tool for a farmer and his family to use – a hoe, shovel, or machete. By helping to provide tools, you're providing the chance to generate more income and help the whole community create lasting impact.
Big change starts small. It starts with YOU!
Springforth is one of Canada's largest conferences for youth and youth leaders. Held every May in Moncton, NB!

When you have a tuning program that's being described as 'perfect' the same way Wheelsandmore is calling the Ferrari 458 Italia Spider "Perfetto", then there's some serious living up to do to justify that 'perfetto' claim.
The German tuner went to serious lengths to give the Italian supercar some serious modifications. On the outside, Wheelsandmore fitted the 458 Italia Spider with a plethora of new carbon fiber components on the rear diffuser, the fuel cap, the rear fog lamp frames, mirrors and spoiler fins. On top of that, the supercar's interior, trunk and engine compartment were all refined, thanks to new side panels, a custom-fit trunk tray, and a final panel for the rear window trim. Even the wheel well and the entire lower floor can be refined to replace the autoclave produced high-performance carbon-fiber components with a matte finish. The addition of all these carbon fiber components resulted in a reduced weight of 30 kg. Rounding out the aesthetic upgrades are a new set of 21" 6Sporz ² forged rims wrapped in Hankook tires.
Sounds pretty 'perfetto' to us.
For the performance upgrade, Wheelsandmore took the 458 Italia's 4.5-liter V8 engine and added plenty of new modifications, including its newly developed Carbonairbox. Add in the installation of manifolds, the addition of a flip-controlled exhaust system, and software optimization, and you have an increased output of 647 horsepower and 468 lb/ft of torque, a drastic improvement from the standard model's 570 horsepower and 400 lb/ft of torque numbers.

Math 250: Differential Equations
Instructor: Joe Erickson (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Textbook: Fundamentals of Differential Equations, 8th Ed., by Nagle, Saff, Snider
Term: Summer 2014
August 8 - Never mind, I've managed to carve out a block of time and got the exams graded in one swoop. Scores have already been sent out via BCCC e-mail. Many of you did a lot better than in past exams!
August 8 - Exam #3 scores will likely be sent out late tomorrow night (as in, after midnight). As for Exam 4, I'm setting the time limit to take it at 4 hours. It really shouldn't take more than 3 hours, however.
August 7 - Exam #3 and its key are in Resources.
July 18 - Exam #2 scores have been sent out by BCCC e-mail. I should point out that the old exams are just that: old exams. You cannot assume anything about an upcoming exam based on old exams, including for instance whether or not the Method of Undetermined Coefficients formulas will be on it, or the Method of Variation of Parameters formulas. On the other hand if you were in fact looking a lot at the Spring 2014 exams, then you already know that the undetermined coefficients and variation of parameters problems on this summer's exam were the same as those given in the spring. So, anyone objecting that I didn't put the formulas on the summer exam must be basing their objection on a close study of the corresponding exam from the spring; but, anyone making a close study of the corresponding exam in the spring should have had some idea of how to proceed with the relevant problems on the summer exam because they were the same! Anyway it looks like most people did all right on Problems 8 and 9 on Exam #2, at least in terms of the general set-up and execution. Now, what I will say is this: the table of Laplace transforms given in the spring exams will indeed be supplied on the next two exams this summer.
July 17 - Exam #2 and its key are now accessible in Resources.
June 24 - Exam #1 scores will be sent out in a day or two.
June 22 - Exam #1 and its key are now accessible in Resources (link below).
June 11 - Exam #1 should be available at the Newtown campus testing center by around noon on Wednesday, June 11. Check testing center hours before setting out, and also bring identification, a calculator, and writing instruments. You will not be allowed to use a cell phone or any other Internet-capable device as a calculator! Count on the exam taking up to 3 hours to complete. Good luck!
May 28 - The publisher does not offer any differential equations textbooks with MyMathLab accompanying it. The "higher-level" mathematics books tend not to have all the multimedia tassels and pinwheels that you find coming with, say, an intermediate algebra book. If you go much higher in mathematics, in fact, you'll soon enough encounter books that don't even have colored pictures in them! So we have to make do with what we got, because there isn't all that much out there that's better. One handy online reference besides my own website is paul's online notes.
May 27 - The course begins today. Start by reading the E31 syllabus (link below).
May 15 - Announcements for the Summer 2014 distance-learning section Math 250.E31 will appear in this box. Links to the syllabus and assignment sheet are below.

Hi Penny glad to see you on here..

Hello everyone, I joined this forum in response to a query about Grand Canyon white water rafting which came to me by way of Google News Alerts. So while I'm technically not in the Edugeek realm of expertise, I guess you could call me a "Grand Canyon geek" seeing as though I lived and worked inside Grand Canyon National Park for 7 years, plus have personally taken part in just about every Grand Canyon experience out there - airplanes, helicopters, rafting (white water and smoth water), mule rides, hiking, I've walked on the Grand Canyon Skywalk and frolicked in the blue-green waters of Havasu Falls. When it comes to the Grand Canyon, you name it, I've done it!
:welcome: K-Bot Enjoy your stay
Grand Canyon eh never been but would love to one day!
Maybe you could sort out EDUGEEK discount on Grand Canyon Tours;)
Welcome k-bot, i have never been to the grand cannon to be honest but i like hiking :D
@K-Bot: You lucky, luck thing!
I've been to Grand Canyon twice. Long time ago though. I hiked along the Bright Angel trail - it was one of the best experiences of my life. Stayed in Flagstaff most of the time - wonderful town. Just wanted to say that!

Today, a survey released by Maryland PIRG and the Student Government Association at the University of Maryland shows that 65% of student consumers have opted out of buying a college textbook due to its high price, and nearly half say that textbook costs can dictate whether they take a course.
This study demonstrates that despite recent steps forward in the marketplace, high textbook costs will continue to be a problem for students unless the cost of high-priced, new editions of college textbooks comes down.

Thought the student loan crisis was bad as it is? Now add hefty fees into that mix. Providers say students can avoid the fees that pile up when they elect to receive their financial aid on a debit card, but new research from a consumer advocacy group finds that these companies throw up roadblocks to keep the fee revenue rolling in, even as colleges make big bucks off their affiliations with these institutions.
Consumer advocates have long criticized the amount of fees associated with debit cards. Most recently, a report by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group Education Fund found that hundreds of colleges have partnerships with financial companies to put a student's financial aid on debit or prepaid cards that carry hefty fees. Under some of these deals, official student photo ID cards can double as debit cards.
College students are finding their scarce dollars eaten up by fees on the cards, which many schools are using for student IDs and to disburse financial aid, according to a new study by U.S. Public Interest Research Group.

The Cincinnati Bengals are coming off of back-to-back playoff berths for the first time in three decades, and much of their recent success be attributed to defensive tackle Geno Atkins. The former fourth-round pick out of Georgia has taken the NFL by storm, and is now regarded as not only the leagues best interior lineman but some would argue he's the best lineman on either side of the ball.
What's even more amazing is he's risen to this level, and is still on his rookie deal, which expires after the coming season.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Thursday on Monday Night Countdown that the Bengals and Atkins have been talking about a long-term extension, and the team was making a push to make it happen soon.
Not long after that report came out, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk quickly disputed it:
No, a deal isn't on the brink of happening.
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, nothing is imminent between the Bengals and Atkins. The talks, which we're told have been occurring for months, have no clear timeline.
Given the way the Bengals like to handle contract negotiations, there's a good chance Bengals will let the season play out, try to negotiate a deal during the offseason, and place the franchise tag on him next offseason if no deal is reached. The though of being hit with the tag could cause Atkins to sign a deal that favors the Bengals more. There's no doubt he wants to get paid while getting some long-term security, and as a former fourth-round draft pick, he's been averaging around $1 million in his first four NFL seasons.
As of now, Atkins has one year and $1.42 million remaining on the rookie contract he signed with the Bengals in 2010.

"I am from Starkville, but I am at Vardaman High School now," said Smith. "I am going to be playing nose tackle and some defensive tackle this fall.
"Camp went pretty good up here today. I enjoyed it a lot."
Smith reports that he received some positive reinforcement from Mississippi State defensive line coach David Turner.
"Coach Turner told me to keep on working hard like I am working," said Smith. "He said that if I just keep working hard that everything would go great for me during my senior year."
Smith is trying to jump start his recruitment that he feels is a little lost in the shuffle due to his relocation to Vardaman, Mississippi.
"I am just trying to make something happen this season," said Smith. "We are going to have a pretty good team this year.
"We have five talented seniors coming back and I am coming up there too.
"It's going to be a great season and I plan on having a great season for me."

Is she a ho or a free spirit?
After a break up, I had to ask a friend "What's a hoe?"
Sounds like a no brainer right?
The last person I dated considered themselves a "free spirit." When they first told me I thought they meant being open minded, a nonconformist, susceptible to knowledge. But their definition came from a more sexually open standpoint. They didn't mind having threesomes, open relationships, and went through a period where they went from one sexual partner to another.
I, being more of a monogamist, couldn't be that uninhibited but I never shunned that person for their wanting to be "free" with their bodies. It wasn't until the demise of our relationship, I realized you can pay for someone else's freedom. And I paid with tears.
I started to reevaluate what I thought when it came to sex and the exercise of it. What makes a ho, a ho? After an experience that was unrequited and deceptive, it took no more than that for my inspiration to write this blog.
The answer me and friend tried to come up with was a little vague, ambiguous, and we tried to narrow it down, but couldn't set anything in stone. Of course we had a general idea, but what did it take to be considered a hoe? Or are people really "free spirits" now?
I thought about it hard and long.
Well, let's take look at the actual definition:
HO 1 |hō| (also hoe)
noun ( pl. hos or hoes) black slang
a prostitute.
derogatory a woman.
SLUT |slət|
a slovenly or promiscuous woman.
And since I discovered a new word, "slovenly":
SLOVENLY |ˈsləvənlē; ˈslä-|
(esp. of a person or their appearance) messy and dirty : he was upbraided for his slovenly appearance.
• (esp. of a person or action) careless; excessively casual : slovenly speech.
In American society, and even beyond its borders, it's not acceptable for women to have a high number of sexual partners. They should have one partner or as few as possible. Women should preserve the "goods" and not allow themselves to become "used goods" over time. Also, a woman that has many sexual partners is seen as dirty; unfit for long term relationships, public display of affection, or interactions seen by the public period.
Overall, the idea of a "ho" hasn't changed. The double standard that men can have many sexual partners, with no remorse or being seen as an unfit long term partner still stands.
I think we've accepted the fact that reserving your virginity for marriage is a thing of the past. Premarital sex is happening right now as I type this post!
As a woman, I'll admit I have called other women hoes and never thought twice about a man who was probably living up to the definition way better than they were. We tend to do it. And sometimes we just can't help it.
Some people are more sexually social than others. I'm very picky when it comes to choosing a sexual partner because I personally feel other qualities should be considered first. But regardless if we spread ourselves around or we reserve ourselves for that special someone, SAFE SEX is GREAT SEX.
Those that tend to be a little more "loving" than others should not only consider this, but live up to it so that you may have a long and healthy life and potentially after all the fun, maybe be able to settle down.
Here's my idea of what a makes a woman a ho:

Update: Family Dollar Rejects Dollar General Again, Advises Shareholders Against Offer
Renee Butler • Thu, Sep. 18 • 1 Comment
- Family Dollar recommended that shareholders reject Dollar General's tender offer and reiterated support for Dollar Tree's early, and lower, offer.
- In a previous article, I predicted that there would be some back and forth that could push Family Dollar's share price higher.
- Wednesday's event confirms that opinion. Expect continued volatility.

Nike Zoom Vapor 9 Tour – Holiday 2012
Photos removed by request.
Nike introduced the Tinker Hatfield designed Zoom Vapor 9 Tour in January 2012. Tinker dubbed the Nike Zoom Vapor 9 Tour shoe as the future of tennis for Nike. The shoe was designed to meet the exact specifications for Roger Federer. The key ingredient to making this shoe a success was the adaptive fit construction in combination wtih textiles and S/L leather overlays. Other features include full-length Phylon midsole with Nike Zoom unit in heel and forefoot as well as XDR rubber compound split by a midfoot shank for improved stability.
Look for two new colorways to release Holiday 2012. Retail is $130.

Georgia coach Mark Richt made a promise last month to Troup County offensive lineman Chris Burnette: If you're the valedictorian, then I'll be at your graduation to hear your speech.
However, as it turns out, NCAA rules will prevent Richt from attending the high school graduation. But he still plans on hearing Burnette's speech.
"If Chris is the man and he gives the speech, hopefully they will tape it … I would absolutely watch it, I'd be excited to watch it," Richt said. "I'll make sure to check with compliance, but I can't imagine that being [an NCAA] violation."
Burnette, who signed with Georgia, said he is fine with the altered plans. "Everybody around here was excited about Coach Richt showing up at graduation. But he can't do anything about the rules … I understand, it's no big deal."
"It really means a lot to me that [Richt] wanted to be there to support me. I knew there a chance he couldn't make because of [NCAA rules], football practices, or the coaches going on summer vacation before the season. But [Richt] gave it his best, and that was very important to me …"
"If it happens [finishing as valedictorian] and I get to speak, we'll record it and show it to Coach Richt later on. I'm excited about that, too."
Burnette decided against enrolling early at Georgia so he could stay at Troup to compete for the No. 1 academic honor. Burnette has a 5.012 GPA and slight lead over two others in the valedictorian race. He has made straight A's since kindergarten.

With the exception of one game each year in late November, I hope he has a great career at UGA.
February 16th, 2009
5:18 pm
The GPA over 4 comes from weighting honors classes more than others. Some schools do it, others don't. Either way, it's impressive that he's both a highly recruited player and a top student. Wish he was interested in Tech, but best of luck!

February 16th, 2009
6:03 pm
Let's get this straight. It's okay to recruit 12-year-olds. It's okay for an inebriated Bob Huggins to ralph on his car door in public. It was okay for Ohio State to wave their magic wand, pull a rabbit out of a hat, and make Andy Katzenmoyer eligible in the mid/late 1990s. It was fine for NC State to admit Chris Washburn with a supposed SAT score of 380 in the 1980s
But it's not okay for a man who is the future head coach of a signed talent to celebrate with him a fantastic academic achievement.
The SEC and ACC can now stop paying for those commercials during games that highlight the academic universe of their respective universities. It's clear that this is not the image the NCAA wants to portray.
February 16th, 2009

What a great kid? I can only hope my kids turn out as good as this fine young recruit. It's nice to see a football recruit that exhibits greatness in the classroom also

That's a ridiculous policy by the bureaucrats at the NCAA. There should be no issues with Coach going to the graduation of an HS player who's signed an LOI. The NCAA is such a crock of red tape!
Hats off to Burnette for this outstanding accomplishment.

hmm, i don't remember receiving letter grades in kindergarten…..
February 16th, 2009
6:37 pm
Congrats to you Mr Burnette. Legend… you are right. Stop those commercials. They don't mean a thing now. If I was CMR I would go to that graduation and dare the NCAA to make something out of it. That would cause a firestorm that might get some of these stupid rules changed.
February 16th, 2009
6:47 pm
Two things. If Burnette reads these comments the first thing he would do is tell FlaDawg the "shone" is spelled "shown" and Roger, the leadin to these comments specifically state "SINCE kindergarten" not including kindergarten.
Welcome to Dawgnation Mr. Burnette and congratulations whether you are the valedictorian or not. We want and need you.
February 16th, 2009
7:20 pm
As a Tech fan also, I find this NCAA rule to be very STUPID, the NCAA is way out of touch. If they want to make it so that coaches can't use H.S. graduations for recruiting, then why don't they say that coaches can only go to the graduation of recruits that have already signed LOI's.
They could also say that the coaches can't recruit (talk to) underclassmen at graduations.
But either way, CMR should be allowed to go to the guy's graduation, especially if he's valedictorian.
February 16th, 2009
7:24 pm
What kind of crazy rule is that? He's already signed with Georgia, so what harm could it do for Richt to be there?

Thomas, the problem is that Richt won't let him major in a real field. They will place him in recreation studies and ruin his intelligence just to win. Maybe, that's why Calvin Johnson went to Tech to take real classes and learn. Let's hope the program let's him do what is best for him. I dont't have much hope considering the past.

You have to respect the fact that UGA is a highly respected university on par with the likes of Southern Poly, Devry, and ITT, while still having a football team that can compete with Appalacian State and Vanderbilt sometimes. I mean, our business school is only fourth in GA and our law school is freakin third in the state.

The NCAA is a tangled nest of bureaucracy, hypocrisy, and chaos. Coach Richt should be allowed to attend and honor your outstanding accomplishment.

I'm a UGA fan, but I hope he follows in the footsteps of the guy (whose name escapes me at the moment) from FSU who is a Rhodes Scholar. We need a few more people out there who have the dedication to a star pupil as well as a star athlete. Its hard enough to excel in one of those aspects, let alone two!

This is great, but don't you think the NCAA should be worrying more about the Reggie Bush / USC investigation instead of this? Oh that's right, all the possible violations at USC get pushed under the rug!!!

[...] The AJC reports that an NCAA rule will prevent Richt from following through on that promise. Here we have a student-athlete who has already signed a letter of intent, and Mark Richt can't be there to honor his future player's academic accomplishment. If Richt were invited to speak at the football team's banquet and honor athletic accomplishments, that would be fine – it's done all the time, and it's within the rules. So what is different about showing up at the graduation of a student-athlete for whom the recruiting process is over? [...]

Christian Maturity
While pastors may not be able to define what "Christian maturity" looks like God tells us in Isaiah 66:2b But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word.
As Isaiah continues to write many were active in making sacrifices (today many are active doing various good deeds) but God rejects the sacrifices because when He calls the people they don't answer and when and when He speaks they don't listen (verse 4). I wonder how much of the good deeds the Church is doing today is actually offensive to God because we are not listening to Him (as evidenced by Biblical illiteracy) and just doing what we want. Isaiah 66:5-6 show just how serious Gd takes Hs word.
I think a mature Christian is someone who is broken over their sin, repentant and takes God's word seriously.

Chicken Enchiladas with Green Salsa

I really loved this...a nice, summer-y twist on enchiladas! I made as stated, except I cooked up and shredded a boneless chicken breast (instead of rotisserie chicken) and then I also included the whole jalapeno (sans stem) in the salsa...so my salsa had a really nice heat to it, which complimented the enchiladas really well. Served this with ripe melon -- a nice summer treat!

think about what really makes you happy. is it right? for instance, is it healthy or accepted or, most importantly, acceptable to you??? is it what's best? for you? for society(lol)? is it real? i mean, is it what it is or is it what you THINK it is? rather, is it just what you WANT it to be. if any of this made you doubt your first thought, the answer to all of this is "no".

not getting what you want is a blessing…
"she insists she's in love with me - whatever that is. what she means is she prefers the senseless pain we inflict on each other to the pain we would otherwise inflict on ourselves. but i'm not afraid of that solitary pain. in fact, if i don't strip myself of all this clatter and clutter and ridiculous ritual, i shall go out of my fucking mind. does that answer your question???"
"what question was that?"
"you asked me why i was getting divorced."
"oh, listen, it's your life. i'm sorry i even asked…"
don't close the blast doors of your heart…
sorry must be the most worthless word i have ever heard. ever to be uttered. ever to be conceived. a selfish word conjured by a selfish animal to serve its most selfish needs. what is it meant to do exactly??? sooth suffering? alleviate anger? coldly quiet crying and restore repose??? how? how does a word help anyone but the speaker? a mountain of actions. a laundry list of lies hissed through grinning lips. a dirty, little diary chock full of impure thoughts. a vast field of physical fumblings stretching from the forgotten past into the unforeseen future. and one silly word is supposed to stop, drop, and roll that malicious inferno into submission??? you could, if the mood struck sufficiently, bellow it at the tippy top of your laughing lungs all the while strangling infants, kicking dogs, raping mothers, and clubbing baby seals. wouldn't stop you OR spare the innocent. it's a mask. a fake out. a complicated confidence scheme perpetrated by a monster in a human suit. or vice versa, i suppose. five silly letters to repair the wronged. how fucking selfish is that?! i think that if you say the word "sorry" you have to do it whilst simultaneously swallowing a hornet's nest smothered in streptococcus, balancing on a technicolor ball like the fool you take us all for. you can't write it in a letter penned at the desk of your mistress. or coo it over the phone from the scene of your crimes. it changes nothing. comforts no one. accomplishes little but applying a fresh bandage to your own gaping, infected wound of a guilty conscience. a brittle buttress to your obese sense of self worth. in a meaningless world it is the meaningleast. it should be fucking banned. banned and replaced by televised, public admonitions or forehead tattoos that spell the word in stunning calligraphy for all to see.
say it.
feel better.
that's all it's good for.
whoever you spit it at will only have that as well to wipe off of their tear streaked faces. an insult to their injury, inflicted by you, inflicted by YOU. a hollow expression of guilt in lieu of a genuine gesture of recompense.
the next time you get the urge, save it. you need to say it more than i want to hear it.
does this sting so badly???
that sure was fun. you'd think i'd be an emergency room pro by now. least i knew exactly where to go. the numbered pain level system. can't say as i didn't get that frosty shiver down my spine walking into the hospital by my lonesome. walking out the same. weird thing that. taking care of one's self. can't say as that wasn't just as empowering as it was humbling. what can you do? what can't you do???
i am far too dramatic for my own good. need a cigarette. fuck doctor's orders!

Your weekly guide to the source material used in this week's episode of Tosh.0.
Last Thursday, we showed you "Simple Way to Get Keys out of a Locked Car" and asked you to give us a better title.
We picked five of our favorites and now it's your chance to vote on a winner.
Vote below! Then check back this Thursday for the results and a new video.
This video is called "Simple Way to Get Keys out of a Locked Car." The title's a bit long for my tastes. I mean, it's not as long as the titles you guys suggest in the comments, but then again, what titles are??
Think you got a funnier name for this video? Let us know in the comments! Then check back on Tuesday at noon for the vote off!
The winner of this week's Rename This Video Vote was Rory Bourgeois with his title, "Role change: Robin saves day while Batman gobbles on wiener." It's funny because it implies that typically Robin is a cock-gobbler! And gobbling cock is funny!! Congratulations, Rory!

A vibrant, compassionate study of middle-aged loneliness and romantic yearning, courtesy of Chilean filmmaker Sebastián Lelio.
Played with intelligence and integrity by Pauline Garcia, the titular Gloria is a fiftysomething divorcee and mother of two adult children, embarking on a new relationship with the emotionally cautious Rodolfo (Sergio Hernández), whom she first encounters at a Santiago singles night.
Sticking tightly to its heroine's everyday routines and rituals, this deft blend of humour and pathos fully earns its defiantly upbeat dance-floor denouement.
