The issue I faced was a love for Psy and realizing I needed a Masters to really do anything in the field. So I delayed and delayed about returning. Then, it sounds embarassing to admit, I realized the time I was spending at my Country Club improving my golf game could be spent in college. The University of Texas Pan American campus is 10 minutes from my front door. I talked it over with my family and cried as I was tendering my resignation as President of the Men's Golf Assoc. and general membership. I do miss the early evenings on the putting green having a beer and talking with my buddies. Being able to drop by pretty much anytime and getting in a game. The tournaments. It's been replaced with cramming for exams and trying to remember stuff from my first 3 years old college in the early 80s. Having to go back and complete some new general ed requirements is a pain in the ass, but it will be worth it. If my damn knee had not of given me trouble I would have finished the first time. (Athletic scholarship was gone, I was pissed, uncertain what to do)

I went back at 40 for a BA in Psy with the assumption of getting my Masters. It has been a struggle at times fitting everything in. Fortunately I can earn a nice living with flexible hours. I have to be careful about balancing my courseload each semester. I can not have three really tough classes with a lot of outside projects or I would be doomed. I also have to avoid group work projects that involve eberyone getting together at the same time. My schedule isn't that flexible.

The research opportunity is so key. There are so few opportunities and so many applicants. Kudos for making the final short list. By the way what are your thoughts on language aquisition? Are we genetically hard wired for native language skills or is it a learned skill?

I guess I am in the minority here but I stopped after two or three episodes. I didn't like the story lines, and the stylized camera shots.

The biggest factor that would sweep him in is capturing Bin Laden a few days before the election. You know the pressure is going to build big time if Bush needs a boost. For history look at our almost election-eve attempt in Iran to free the hostages during President Carter's term. Unfortunatly, like snow in Chicago, politicians do not always control events that can doom their campaign. Last thought, I'm not certain a terrorist attack would doom his campaign. I believe we have been slow to switch horses during a time of crisis. I think cw could correct me if this is false. He has a better grasp of this end of history.

Are you looking for a complete identity pack or just something for a t-shirt?

It is the oldest English language story. It is an epic poem about a Danish hero who basically kicks the crap out of a couple monsters, he is King for a long time, then dies fighting a dragon. Lots of drinking and boasting in a Mead Hall. You will read a translation from Old English which makes the story much easier to read. I also recomend the Spark Notes study guide. You can read them at sparknotes.com or buy them at Barnes and Noble.

There are way too many counterfeit Cuban cigars on the market. Mexico does not have any restrictions and there are a couple cigar shops that carry the real deal at $$$ prices. Right next store is a shop that will sell Cuban cigars for $. I have had friends tell me they can tell the difference immediately.

Beowulf is pretty cool. Which translation did you read? It was part of a Monsters in Lit class I took last year. Any book that spends so miuch time drinking beer and telling tales has got to be good.

>From The Washington Times. ----------------------------------------------------------- LOVE BLOSSOMED FOR 8 DECADES ----------------------------------------------------------- ST. LOUIS (AP) — During 82 years of marriage, George and Amelia Limpert seldom were apart. As centenarians with grandchildren who themselves are grandparents, they held hands. Folks who marveled at the Limperts got the same response from George: Amelia always was the prettiest gal he'd ever seen. Since Mr. Limpert died last month of complications from pneumonia at age 102, Mrs. Limpert, 100, has been heartbroken, daughter Mary Ruth Fink says. "She isn't taking it well, not at all," Mrs. Fink, 69, said Sunday as her mother rested at Little Sisters of the Poor retirement center. It's a love story dating to 1919, when Mr. Limpert was a machinist in his hometown of St. Louis at a plant that made paint spray guns and lamp guards. Amelia Kwiatkowski was a teenager from Pennsylvania working on the assembly line. Mr. Limpert knew — or at least hoped — that she would be his wife, although her family had other ideas from the get-go. Traditionalists in post-World War I America, her immigrant parents didn't want their Polish daughter marrying George the German, saying he wasn't "from the old country," Mrs. Fink says. Three times, their engagement was broken off before they finally jumped into his Model T and eloped Sept. 9, 1921, spending $8 on a marriage certificate and a civil ceremony with a justice of the peace in nearby Clayton. A month later, the devout Catholics had a formal marriage ceremony. He was 20 and she was an 18-year-old woman who had only a third-grade education but had taught herself to read and write. During the Great Depression, the Limperts struggled. Mr. Limpert, out of work most of the time, took odd jobs making parts for old cars, painting houses and fixing faulty plumbing. The couple raised nine children in a one-bedroom home where the five girls and four boys slept in an attic of "wall-to-wall beds," Mrs. Fink says. All the while, the Limperts never stopped doting on a brood that has blossomed over the years. There are seven surviving sons and daughters, along with 39 grandchildren, 117 great-grandchildren, 45 great-great-grandchildren and eight great-great-great-grandchildren. Nearly blind, Mrs. Limpert now fights pneumonia herself. Without her beloved George, Mrs. Fink fears, her mother is losing the strength to go on. "She's not crying or carrying on. She's just sad and feels like she's dying. She says that when Dad left, it felt like it left a hole."

IT is an awesome show. It's like Mr Science only with a twisted sense of humor. I thought trying to blow up a gas pump with a cell phone, and being pissed they couldn't was awesome.

Has he officially dumped Chaney? I hadn't heard that. There is only one way to orchestrate that without major fall out. Well actually two ways. 1. Kill him. 2. Have him decide not to run because of health problems. Anything else and it may look like W made a mistake in running with him anyway. McCain would help solidfy the SW for Bush and would be a big plus in my book.

We will wait for Castro to die and a Republican President to propose it. Too bad actually. Trade would be much better for both countries than what we have.

This gets interesting when states have different laws. For example Rest of the story

Which proves my point.

That's just another screen name of mine I believe only the admins have that ability. Mods can only stop threads, delete a few things, pin topics, stuff like that. They wouldn't trust us with anything important

Wow Brando. You win. I was there and you weren't, but I have to admit your opinion of them must be more accurate. Not many people would try and argue about an event they have no information on. How about the traffic at Nolana and 10th. I think it needs a longer left turn lane since B&N and Buffalo Wild Wings opened, what do you think? I think they should have rebuilt the Civic Center on 10th Street instead of moving over to Ware Road, what's your opinion on that? By the way Aquilera's biography is "a road map for immigrants to follow". I found the comment to be rather silly, but I guess you'll defend the person who said that. This student thinks "every immigrant should read an follow the Aquilera story since she is successful." Oh yeah, the first generation Mexican immigrant who is working two jobs to make ends meet should emulate Aquilera. Anti-intellectual because I want to hear people's opinions not what they just heard from a talking head on the tv? Anti-intellectual because I do not think there are many great truths in the pulp bio of a sit com actor or rap star? These books sell because of advertising. I am certain you, like one gentleman in my class, may find "great ideas and how to solve life's problems" by reading about the cast of Friends. 5)

Career DH, love affair with the media, championships, All-Star appearances. Sorry not a first ballot. I find the whole first ballot thing weird. Like the guy improves in a year of not playing. Frank is going to need another strong season or two. I believe for a couple year span he was the best batter in baseball. I was going to say hitter but his eye was awesome. I can remember bars falling silent when Frank came to bat. The confidence he showed at the plate is world class.

Even without a PAC, groups have been known to bundle their contributions when presenting them to the candidate. As in "Hi this is Morey. We have 20 checks from our execs and we would like to meet with the candidate to give them to him. By the way is the candidate aware that recent gov't regulations have impacted . . . "

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Janet Jackson's nearly bare breast during the Super Bowl halftime show was the most replayed moment measured by TiVo Inc. (TIVO) in its short history. The TiVo service, which allows users to pause and do instant replays of live television, found that Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" attracted almost twice as many viewers as the game highlights. San Jose-based TiVo did not release specific numbers. It has measured Super Bowl viewing patterns since 2002. The data was gathered on a zip code basis from an anonymous sample of 20,000 TiVo households. How many tapes would have been running if they promo'd it?
