Just think of becoming a diamond like it's part of your organ donor agreement. Your remains are still technically used for science. What I don't understand is the difference between synthetic diamond and cubic zirconia. I thought they were the same thing.DeBeers has a monopoly on diamonds. They own nearly all the diamond mines and they're full of diamonds, but they only release a very minimal amount each year, which is why they are so expensive. It's all the laws of supply and demand.I wouldn't mind being turned into a diamond. It's not like I'd feel anything, since I'd be deceased during the process. My concern is that I wouldn't want to turn up in the wrong hands. For example, what if I get stolen and put in a pawn shop? And then someone buys me not knowing what I am?

My favorite part about this expansion is that you can "woohoo" with your professors to get better grades in university. I feel bad for Maxis because they have to appeal to all ages and make this a family-friendly game, and at the same time, please the older fan base that want things more realistic. However, I don't think "woohoo" with your professors is a common thing in real life.

I think it's human nature and you can't fight some of those feelings. However, I also think it's part of the "grass is greener on the other side of the fence" situation. Because you've never been with Jim, you'll never know how disappointing it would be. Therefore, you're stuck with the idea of Jim. It's like a beautiful, juicy steak that when you bite into it, you find that it hasn't been cooked properly.Since an affair is obviously the wrong way to go, maybe you should try becoming friends with Jim's wife. If you two became each other's confidantes, the wife may tell you about Jim's shortcomings. For example, if the wife tells you that Jim is terrible at helping out with household chores, you might realize that he's not that great of a guy after all. If you can compile a bunch of things about how terrible Jim is, maybe the feelings will go away.Whenever you think about Jim in a favorable way, pinch yourself hard or smack your wrist in a painful manner. Try blaming bad things on Jim as well. Get stuck in traffic? Jim's fault. Your boss making you work on the weekend? Jim's fault. That way, you'll start to associate bad and painful feelings with Jim.When a couple breaks up, the easiest way to cope is to start hating that person, even if they did nothing to deserve it. Although it's not the healthiest route to take, it doesn't sound like your current feelings are healthy for your marriage.As for Joe, just be the best wife you can to him. Consider renewing your vows. It has the possibility to kick start another honeymoon period for you two. Everyone says that marriage is a partnership, but if you look up the definition of partnership, partnerships aren't really about love in certain contexts.

Did anyone mention Guild Wars? Sure, you have to buy the game, but there is no monthly subscription. The costumes for the characters are pretty well done. It's great if you're into PVP (player versus player) but if you want to be antisocial, you can hire henchmen as well.

I once took 21 credits with a job. I know my grades weren't as good as they could be if I had only taken 15. The only way to get through it is to give up your social life. Let your friends be disappointed in your lack of appearances for the semester. The only human interaction should be with your classmates or study groups. Another thing to consider is to increase the amount of money you are taking out in loans so you don't need to work so much. Although it might seem like a bunch of money now, if you're going to have a double major, then you'll clearly be very marketable in the job world and will probably end up with a good salary where your previous loans will appear more like pocket change.Remember this experience well. When you are eventually job hunting for your profession, the recruiters will probably ask about these times of adversity during the interview. They may want to know why there was a dip in your grades, or about a time when you had too much on your plate. Your responses will make or break you.

I agree with you. Men want to be fixers. If we women complain about our boss at work to our girlfriends, our girlfriends will give us sympathy. Then they'll usually talk about their problems and the sympathizing would be returned. With men, they offer advice and things we should try. Women just want to complain and get it off of their chest most of the time. When women want advice, they will ask for it, but most of the time it's just nice to have someone to listen.

Just tell him the truth. Tell him that you don't want to be friends with someone you can't trust and cite the rock throwing incident since I think that really does bother you. He might ask for a second chance, but tell him he has blown it.Don't be a bully. Don't give him a wedgie. Else, you'll just drive the kid towards suicide or a mental breakdown. Yes I'm exaggerating, but it only takes one straw to break the camel's back, as they say.Or else you could find someone like him, another underdog. Introduce them. Let them be friends. If he has someone else to hang out with, he should leave you alone.

Yes, the death penalty should be an option. What is the difference between raping a person and killing them? Either way, their life is still ruined, it's just if they are still alive, they have to live with the experience.I was once watching daytime television where a woman was raped and the rape resulted in a pregnancy. The woman did not abort the child. The rapist petitioned the courts for parenting rights. I find that disgusting and I feel sorry for that child.

I think there's a direct correlation between when McDonald's and other fast food joints started appearing in the UK and how people started to grow in their bellies.

It sounds like you need a guy to decipher your boyfriends. I know my boyfriend doesn't want to know about all the little daily stuff. He thinks that's stuff you'd tell your gal pals or your family. What I found works for us is for me to put everything in a blog, not just for him, but because I feel like I need to get things off of my chest. He'll be pretty good about reading it, especially since he'll want to check out if he has been mentioned or not, since it's viewable by the public and I don't have a tendency to hold anything back when writing. I know if I told him things like what I watched on TV, what chores I did, and similar things, he'd have trouble paying attention, and then that could turn into an argument.I think the people who like to create arguments are those that are bored or want to force a change. If things are boring, fighting isn't the best way to make things interesting. Try a new hobby together, like hang gliding, or go out of the house together to see a movie or go dancing.About arguments, if the problem isn't solved, it seems like the same argument will be rehashed later on, and each time it will intensify. Why is there a need to have the same fight over and over? Fighting isn't fixing whatever the problem is, so it is time to try something new.In general, I think a person can tell if they are losing feelings for someone based on how much they think about their other half. If you didn't see that person all week and you couldn't care less, that's a good indicator. When they call, if you smile when they say hello or roll your eyes tells volumes. They can't see you on the phone, so if you feel like it is taking an extra amount of effort just to sound nice or normal, then that can't be good for the relationship.

I think Kingdom of Loathing is pretty fun. It's basically a text-based browser game that has tons of wit. It seems like the guys who created it are most likely English majors, since of the storyline. One of the items you can equip is called "the amulet of extreme plot significance."

Offline, I think Age of Empires and The Sims games are pretty awesome.

Assuming we are talking about accredited online education, here is my opinion.I think online education is only for the strong-willed. Because most aspects about it are virtual, it becomes difficult to force yourself to do the material. If the course is designed to go at whatever pace you are comfortable at, it could take you a long time to finish. In many classroom courses, one of the requirements for a grade is to do a presentation. It's very hard to have this requirement for online courses, which may be a good thing if you're afraid of public speaking. It seems that online courses are tougher, because you really have to prove that you know the material. In a classroom, you are sitting there for a few hours each week absorbing knowledge. In a classroom setting, you may discuss the assigned reading in a group discussion, but online, you may have to write a written response to it. Online classes seem to have much more writing assignments.

My favorite part was living on campus in an apartment with a couple other good friends. If I ever had to redo that experience, I'd always choose to live on campus. I think commuters miss out on a lot of strong bonds. Plus you're close to all the classroom buildings, and anything else you would need to succeed.

I don't know the situation well enough but maybe you should try talking to him in private. Ask him what you've done to offend him. That will open up a dialogue about his treatment towards you or his workers. There's always the possibility that he doesn't realize what he's behaving like and just needs someone to put him in perspective. Most people aren't bitter just because they can be. In case he is one of those types, be prepared for the backlash. Sometimes people who are constantly pushing your buttons have a motive that they want you to quit. I think it's better to be fired than to quit, since then you can receive unemployment, depending on where you live. If you can master dealing with this guy, it sounds like there won't be anybody who will be about to break you. Think of it as a personal exercise in patience.

I am assuming the time travel properties established by Michael J. Fox in the Back To the Future movies. The main point of this is that if you travel to a different time, and you and your double meet, the universe does not implode. It also assumes that when you time travel, you are not the only you in the whole time-space continuum, and that there is a possibility to meet your double. It is different from the other theories that once you time travel, you won't find yourself in that reality as you were, so if you went back in time to see yourself as a baby, the baby you wouldn't be there since the adult time traveling you is already occupying the universe.So if you had the ability to time travel in the past and met your double, what would stop you from yanking your double into time traveling with you? The two of you would only need to go back a few minutes, and the two of you could meet your third double. You could snag them and then repeat the process, assuming there was room in the time machine. I'm not sure if the Delorean was a four seater or not.Through this process, you could create an army of yourself, all with nearly the same memories, dreams, ambitions, loves and dislikes. Think of the possibilities. Besides like Michael Keaton in Multiplicity, where all of you would take turns living as one person and doing chores and going to work, other applications exist as well. You could create an army of you. The flaw exists that since personality changes depending on environment, the doubles could start to become more unique. This could lead to a rogue double who doesn't believe in what you have built, and wants to be the only you in existence. The other problem is, that if one double commits a crime, another double could take the fall. Also, if you have a significant other, you're going to have a heck of a time figuring out a way to share them.What are your thoughts? Is this probable? If you could create doubles of yourself via time travel, would you? How much would you risk?

These are fantastic. Some of these ingredients are going to go on the grocery list, but where does one get pearl powder for Choi Ji Woo's treatment?

For people that cannot swallow pills, what my family does is they hide it in food, such as a spoonful of whipped cream. I think whipped cream works the best, and it's the easiest to position the pills. Other foods that work as well include apple sauce, yogurt and pudding. A more advanced technique is to chew up a cracker or pretzel, and right before you are ready to swallow, toss a pill in, and swallow the whole shebang.As for her anxiety, you can never cuddle and hold her enough.

It sounds like you have really high metabolism. You could be blessed, or it could be an overactive thyroid. In ten years, if it is still high, your friends will be secretly jealous.I don't mean to get too personal, and please don't answer this out loud, but are your bowel movements regular? It's like that song from Scrubs, "Everything Comes Down to Poo." That could help determine if there's a medical problem or not.Bread is not that filling unless it is whole grains, and that shouldn't be the only thing you should eat for breakfast. Try adding eggs, since the protein in them will help with that full filling. Also, try a piece of fruit. So maybe instead of three pieces of toast for breakfast, you should have one slice, an apple and a boiled egg, or some similar variety.I think it's okay to be really hungry in the morning. I mean, the stomach hasn't had a chance to eat anything while you are sleeping.Discuss your concerns with your family doctor or your school nurse. As well-intentioned as we all are, I don't think most of us have any medical backgrounds.

Gargling warm salt water will help sooth your throat. Also try chewable vitamin C. You probably already know to stay away from fizzy drinks and dairy products on a practice or performance day; even having cereal with milk for breakfast can make your phlegm too thick, where you'll constantly be needing to clear your throat.I don't think you should be too concerned about your throat. One of the techniques to improve range involves (after a good warmup, of course) working up to the highest keys on the piano, trying to match it, even if you have to squeak like a mouse to get it out. After all, if you never stretch, you'll never get more flexible. If you are uncomfortable with your current range, my advice would be trying to sing the stuff at home an octave higher than it is supposed to be. When doing this, do not worry about the quality of the sound, just as long as you are hitting the right notes. When people are training their voices, the goal is not to sing like a diva, or how you would do karaoke, but as if they are in a background chorus, where their voice is soft and the power comes from the chest area or diaphragm. If you can become comfortable singing really high notes, then the regular high notes will come naturally. A good place for practicing high notes is when you take a shower. I think the steam from the shower makes the note transitions easier. Plus, if people hear singing from the shower, they don't think too much into it.

In the US, anything that you create automatically has a copyright. The difference is, you need to register the copyright with the government in order to get monetary compensation from the party that is violating your copyright.

You could also write a really mean and scary disclaimer so everyone would be afraid to copy.

If we wear special clothing to make us look better, and pay money for a fountain of youth, what's wrong with adding Photoshop to your attractiveness arsenal? Like everything else, there is an invisible line that shouldn't be crossed, such as attempting plastic surgery via a paintbrush.Personally, I always add a model glow to my photos since it's easy to do, and gives the image a more professional appearance, but it looks natural and doesn't mess with any of the infrastructure of the face.

Please note that in the US, the words college and university are used interchangeably, implying an institution that offers bachelor's degrees in 4 years. I'm not sure where you're from, but I know talking to my friends in the UK about school, it was sometimes confusing because some of them didn't know ollege doesn't have the same meaning in the US as it does in the UK, just like pants.1. I used to work in a financial aid office, and this is how in-house scholarships worked at the school. Your first year, you earn a grade point average, on a 4.0 scale. For the second year they would award the academic scholarships to the students with the best GPAs. They would start with all the students who earned a 4.0 and keep going downward until they ran out of funds, usually around 3.5 - 3.75. Each year, they would repeat the process, so if you had a really bad semester, it could ruin your chances for an academic scholarship. The school also had a requirement that to be eligible for a scholarship, a student has to complete the FAFSA. The FAFSA is also how you get Stafford loans, which are really great for students. FAFSA's website is fafsa.ed.gov .You should look for outside scholarships a year before college. Check out fastweb.com since it is one of the best scholarship search sites out there. Be prepared to write a bunch of essays. It is possible to have everything covered with scholarships, but you have to work hard. Do not count on having the school cover a large portion in scholarships, even if you're special, because everyone else is special, too. Tuition is cheaper if you live in the state of the college; out of state tuition is about twice as much. Also, never pay for a scholarship search. It's a scam that gets students all the time. They promise to give you leads on scholarships, but they're giving you the same information you can get for free.2. It really depends more on the instructor than the college. Some will make it easy, some will make it hard because it is supposedly better to struggle, and some will give you tons of pointless busy work as if you're in high school.3. I don't think that is true. As long as the institution is accredited, it shouldn't be a problem. Plus, there's scholarships for being left-handed, speaking Klingon, being under five feet tall and anything else you can possibly imagine.4. I know Penn State has a really good plastics engineering program, one of the best in the country, so I'd assume their other engineering programs would be good as well. I have a friend at the University Park branch that is in that program right now and I don't think he has any complaints.5. Each school's criteria for admission is different. An admissions officer will let you know what you need to apply. I think for international students TOEFL or TESOL scores are important. I don't know if all universities require the students to have SAT scores, but they do like to have some sort of standardized test score.6. Sure, America is pretty good. Nobody's going to say "Your diploma is from America, e http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ you're worried about having enough money for tuition, what many students do is they enroll in community college for a few semesters and then transfer their credits to a big prestigious university. I think you have to earn your last 60 credits at the prestigious university to be able to get a diploma. A bachelor's degree program is usually around 130 credits. You still get to save money and you get a diploma from a reputable place.

Wow... we Asian people are screwed then, with our squinty eyes and tiny wankers.

Never regret anything. Never be awkward. Always have confidence. Be involved in an extra-curricular activity and be passionate about it. Genuinely smile at everyone. Never reject anyone's offer of friendship. Statistically, most of your friends for life come from college, so don't sweat it.When in a crowd, or walking down the hall with friends, be in the middle. I think people notice the middle person, and naturally assume that they're the "leader" and most popular of the group because of their physical position. People assume that the entourage belongs to you and that can make a positive impression about your popularity to observers. At least that's what I've learned from watching tons of teen movies.Or just do what Drew Barrymore did in the movie, Never Been Kissed. All you need is one cool person to vouch that you are cool, and you're automatically accepted.

In some countries, children are taught that dinosaurs still do exist, and that they were created by the Americans to destroy them. So maybe there is something behind this theory, and something behind this propaganda.
