The Pot Belly Stove

[Anistorm]

First off with the economy.  It is getting really bad.  So bad, to where I cannot go to my dream college   I have to go to community college, and then transfer out.   I am not too sadened, because at least I am going to college.  My parents keep getting hours cut at work, which worries them, and myself.  My aunt just lost her job.

Second- about pictures on TV, ect.  I think that these news outlets are trying to become more interactive with technology.  A local news station is doing the same thing TWC is doing, the twitter thing.  It's interesting.

I shall share my story as well. I do go to community college. There might be a chance that my college won't have a Summer Intersession due to the low money the college has. I'm still waiting for my college money to be disbursed (I guess I have to wait until march 20th!!! grr!) The books are expensive, and now, my mom is thinking twice about my future!! Oh man...I am sadly hurt by the economy. Now I don't know what to do. I want to transfer out of my school and go to CSU San Bernardino, but I guess I'm seeing different roadways. 

Enjoy this image!

  I remember doing this to my BF in the 9th grade (we were friends then).

I'm not sure why your tying college to the economy, because there's really no connection. Things like tuition and textbooks are through the roof regardless of what shape the economy is in.

actually, i think what you said isn't true at all, but i'll respect your opinion to state it.

the current status of our economy only adds to the souring prices of everything. there's so much more beyond tuition and textbooks that the ordinary college student needs. the economy is tied to everything, and if everything fails...haha guess what? the economy collapses, and we're doomed.

of course that's politically incorrect, but whatever

Ugh, the whole college cost thing is going to be a large section in my book.

No, No.  I wan't saying the economy is why college is so expensive. Because of the troubled economic times, MY family has been hit by it, as in, not enough money to send me to college. A year ago looked really good for me to go to an in-state school.  Now, that has changed, drastically. Must have not made that part clear.  Sorry about that.  I know college is very expensive, and the economy has nothing to do with the costs.

Think of it this way, the economy should (hopefully) recover at some point, and at that point, lots of places (hopefully) will have lots of jobs to fill.  If you can figure out a way to go to college (student loans?) in 4 years time it may really pay off.

I'm scared about myself or my wife losing our jobs and we have twins on the way.

BTW, we found out we're having a boy and a girl.

Wow, that's really great rughster! Congratulations!

Al, textbooks and tuition are the bulk of what college students need. And those things are not influenced by the economy. Tuition is decided by the government (in cases of the big state universities), or in cases of smaller colleges by the people who run the college. Textbook prices have always been highway robbery, regardless of whether the economy has been good or bad. 

Then there's housing. If its on campus housing, the college decides how much to charge, another decision independent of the economy.

Trust me Al, I've been around the block a time or two.

Well, a local Meteorologist just got a Facebook

Maybe this is an unanswerable question, but is there a program out there (non-platform specific) that performs a "Stress-Test" on parts of a computer, such as the network and disk circuitry, for extended periods of time, to ensure the integrity and reliability of said components?

Thanks to my healthy tax refund that I wasn't expecting, Here's going to be the newest member of my computing family.

Wow, we just got a pretty good sized thunderstorm just roll through here in South King County, Washington and someone had reported a funnel cloud out of it!

[Localonthe8s]

I wish the snow would melt by now. There was a TWC outage on DirecTV for nearly 12 hours last night.

The heat is killing me over here in my area. We were in the 90's on Sunday and Monday, today it was a cool morning but it heated up drastically to 89 degrees. I hate the heat.

I'm getting very restless, it's March, bring on the spring thunderstorms! Just nothing too bad or that will cause major damage/loss of life.
