Do they really have ******** contests on tv in other countries? I heard about it but i don't believe it | | ********????? | Friend Won Contest... Is She Being Selfish? A friend of mine recently won a million dollars (more like around 600,000 once taxes are deducted) in a contest, and as selfish as it sounds, is planning to spend all of the money on herself. Because of this, she is getting a lot of flack from family and friends. However, while she's planning to spend it on herself, it won't be on careless things like expensive dinners or an expensive car or clothes; she's racked up over $50,000 in student loans, she has absolutely no money toward retirement, and she dreams to have her own place, instead of renting a room from a stranger who she doesn't really get along with. So naturally, with her winnings, she plans to pay off her student loans, buy a house (a regular house, not some mansion), and put a large sum towards retirement. And if she has some money left over, she may contribute to a charity or to a friend/family member in need (and she plans to continue working, as she loves her job, so she said that she'll likely contribute a lot of her salary to charity later down the road).
Before she won this contest, while she's managed not to rack up a lot of debt, she's barely been able to scrape by with bills and food and stuff (with all of her earnings going towards that; she would only buy something when it was necessary). So I think by winning this contest, she can do the things she's wanted to do but couldn't afford, like buy a house and pay off her loans. I see nothing wrong with this. I actually see it as being practical.
However, her family and most of our friends think she is being extremely selfish because she is planning to keep the money for herself. Her so-called "selfishness" may ruin a lot of her relationships. But I don't see her as selfish, just because she wants to make her life a little better, and I think everybody is overreacting.
Are she and I wrong (me for siding with her and not thinking she's being selfish at all)? Or do you think the others are overreacting? Again, I know her well, and I am sure she's not going to get all egotistical and blow her money on pompous things; she's not even thinking about buying a new car or going on a nice, big, vacation at this point. All she wants to do is pay off her loans, buy a house, and start a retirement fund; and then if she has any money left over, then she'll help out others. Is this wrong? | i don't think she's being selfish.
winning the lottery always seems to ruin relationships from my experience.
do the others know the position she's in? she has every right to spend the money on her needs first, then family's needs, then wants. the others must just be over reacting thinking of all the money going on one person. | Worst dunk contest in history? i know its late but i was still taking in the crappyness.
this was in my opinion the worst dunk in history. lets go bye player shall we.
gay: im pretty sure this guy has done 10x better dunks in games. he is amazing at dunking and sucked in the contest.
green: WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO he blew out a candle holy shiiiiit a efing candle. please i could do that dunk and im in high school, not to mention the same dunk twice shoes or no shoes it was lame.
moon. nice jon with the tape. what was that for to signal where you wished u could jump from. good job taking off 2 feet after the free throw line. dumb idiot.
howard: thank god this man was in the contest in my opion the superman dunk wasnt amazing but his double ally oop was the only amazing dunk all night
sorry if im being hrash but it is true | | hahahaha if u think this is the worst dunk contest ever then i know that u've been only watching NBA for the last 1 month! hahahha stupid question | Would you post a sample of your singing below? (Contest#3) Best singer earns 10 points!? Consider this an informal contest, and if you're interested you can post your youtube vid – a clip of you singing - and here's what I'll give you in return: highly specific feedback on how you sound and what your strengths and weaknesses are. Plus one of you of course gets chosen as best answer.
I studied voice and sang professionally for years and will do my best as judge. BUT understand that if you are tone deaf or in any way have a poor sound, I won't hold back in telling you. I consider this a public service: keeping some of you from future public humiliation by making you aware of issues and handicaps so you don't waste money on lessons or blow valuable time that yields little or no reward. ... It can also help keep people from ear-bleeds or dogs from howling in pain. Some of you will get kudos and accolades for a job well done. Many of you will be told you're mediocre, and possibly, why. | haha i dont know why i am doing this to myself. I guess its because this is a crowd of strangers and I dont mind insults by strangers.
Here it goes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlHIuRgGRYo | How is this first part? It's for a scifi contest? I found one of my old short stories and I'm editing it for a scifi contest. any suggestions? please help!
On a normal day, Melissa Jones would have been at the library or hidden away in her room on her computer. Instead, Melissa was at the picture window in her attic room looking out on her street at the odd weather and unusually lethargic attitude of the neighborhood. It was a summer day but the clouds in the sky thought otherwise, and the ominous wind blew through the trees, producing a sound almost like rain. The weatherman, along with the rest of Melissa’s family and friends commented on the odd weather, but were otherwise indifferent. Melissa, however, saw it as a sign.
She pressed her face against the window out of sheer boredom. Her cheek up against the cold glass, she breathed softly onto the window pane and watched the glass fog up. She drew a smiley face and sighed. What was happening? She couldn’t let the weather get her down like it was the rest of the town. She withdrew from the icy barrier and strode to her bathroom and began inspecting herself in the mirror. She looked tired. Her curly ginger hair was up in a messy bun and her green eyes frowned back at herself. Stupid freckles looked like pimples. She tried a smile and shuddered, deciding to smile without showing her teeth. Her teeth were pearly white, but the smile looked fake. Maybe she wouldn’t smile at all. Maybe she would just sulk the rest of the day. Her slender body was hidden in a baggy shirt and black sweats from a local department store. There was nothing to do around the house and she was too fidgety to sit and write about God-knows-what.
“Melissa! Can you come down here, please? I need your help!” A sharp voice yelled from downstairs.
Melissa sighed and replied, “I’m coming!” Melissa stood up and took one last look before heading to the kitchen to help her mother.
“Can you chop these onions? I have way too much to do before the Wang’s get here,” her mother said.
“The who?” Melissa’s older sister, Tessa,
Her mother groaned, “The Wang’s! Your father’s new co-worker and his family are coming for dinner.”
“You mean we’re having company?” Tessa yelled.
“Yes we’re having company! What’s so surprising about that?” Karen asked.
“Mom we NEVER have company. Like…never in the history of the world have we had company other than like…grandma and grandpa!” Melissa pointed out.
“Well we’ll start now. Tessa try to clean the house as much as possible,” Karen ordered, “and Mel, get to chopping the onions,”
The girls groaned as they went to their tasks but soon quieted when they realized that it wasn’t doing them any good.
“Mom? Why are we having company?” Melissa inquired while she chopped.
“Because your father struck up a conversation with Charles, Mr. Wang, and apparently found the guy interesting and invited him for dinner!” her mother replied flatly.
“But we never even have friends over for dinner so why some new guy and his family?” whined Melissa.
“I don’t know Mel but all I can say it surprised me too when your father came home about two hours ago announcing we were having company at seven,”
“Don’t you think it’s kind of weird though?”
“Yes Mel, it’s weird but there’s no changing it now so just keep chopping those onions until they’re all chopped and then I’ll give you another job, o.k.?”
“I’m telling you there’s something weird going on mom. We’ve had all this nice weather and suddenly a day like this? Lucky would normally be bouncing around and jumping up on the counter trying to get to the food your making or ripping the head off another care bear doll. Instead she’s lying on my bed! She seems frightened of something.” Mel said in a worried tone.
“Sweetheart, it’s a weather change. It’s totally-”
“That wasn’t predicted!” Mel shouted.
“Please don’t yell at me, Melissa. Now listen, I know your creative mind works a mile a minute but please just relax – it’s nothing o.k.? Maybe we’ll take Lucky to the vet tomorrow to see if she’s sick but for now we need to get ready for dinner,” Her mother soothed.
Melissa groaned as she stomped out of the room and up the stairs.
“You believe me…don’t you?” Mel asked her sister on her way up.
“I…don’t know but I think you’re right about this not being normal…maybe global warming?” Tessa suggested half-heartedly.
When Melissa reached the top of the stairs she headed to her bedroom where she threw herself onto her bed. She lay there for a moment thinking before turning to pick up her cell phone, which lay on her bedside table. She dialed her friend Stacy and waited for the ring. Instead, she heard static. Not even the familiar woman’s voice announcing that that number was not available.
“Hmm...No service I guess…” Mel said to herself. She stood up and walked into the hallway where she grabbed the house phone and dialed the same number only to get the same reaction – static. | | Ellie that's sooo good! :D Just make sure you proofread it because I found a few grammatical errors... nothing huge, though.

Lots of people say Sean Connery because they grew up watching him but the quest is who makes the best bond not who their favorite is. I love sean Connery and thought he made an excellent Bond until I saw Casino Royale.
Craig blew me away as well as all the Critics. he bring realism and intensity to the role and does a great job of being the "cold-hearted bastard". His relationship with Vesper was also quite intriguing and he bring a level of depth and seriousness to the character that no other bond has been able to achieve so far.
So why do people say Connery is the best without stating a possible reason as to why it is so. And remember Connery was also my favorite bond as well until Casino Royale | Craig plays a more modern - more realistic Bond.
Connery played a realistic Bond as well.
Connery was great and the "original" although there were other Bonds before him - just not as famous.
Often an original of anything will be more respected by an older generation. It's easy to ammend or augment a character after tweaking or changing what worked from the original.
When Connery played Bond, the character was "new" in the eyes of the viewer. Connery - and the direction - created this character at that time.
The character of Kirk in the new Star Trek is more appealing - in almost every way - than Shatner's Kirk of the 1960s. There were a few Star Trek episodes - like "City On The Edge Of Forever" - that portrayed a Kirk as well as any actor could portray that character. | Why did Obama surrender to Mexican drug cartel putting signs up on a highway between Tucson & Phoenix warning? The federal government has given Arizona little help in securing its borders, Brewer says. “They’ve done a pretty good job securing the borders in California and Texas, but in Arizona, they’ve just left us wide open,” she said.
In the Tucson area, citizens are confronted with illegal immigrants and drug cartels coming across the border on a daily basis, Brewer says. “The big concern is the violence south of the border spilling into Arizona,” she said.
Citizens are living in fear. “Until they feel comfortable that they can go out and get their mail and walk their land, our borders aren’t secure,” Brewer said.
“We know drug cartels have established themselves in over 100 cities across America, but we seem to be the gateway. It’s their [the federal government’s] job to secure our borders.”
Brewer is very upset with the federal government for putting signs up on a highway between Tucson and Phoenix warning that it’s unsafe because of drug crimes and illegal aliens.
“That the federal government would come 30 miles south of Phoenix and say travel at your own risk (because) it’s dangerous, that’s not protection, that’s surrender,” Brewer said.
“We don’t want those signs in our wildlife refuges or desert areas. They know we have a problem. They’re just not doing their job.”
As for the DREAM (Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act) Democrats are pushing in Congress to open the path to citizenship for students who are illegal immigrants, it would mean that a lot of illegal immigrants would become citizens, Brewer says.
“It’s not something I want to deal with. I’m on a mission to get our borders secure now. I want illegal immigration to be stopped, and I think the American people agree with me.”
Brewer is impressed that the Republicans’ ‘Pledge to America’ promises to help states enforce their immigration laws. “We need all the help we can get at the federal level,” she said.
The governor is disgusted with unions that have urged people to boycott Arizona. The unions also have said they seek to bring in illegal immigrants and register them to vote to help Democrats get elected, Brewer says.
“It’s absolutely wrong, and we won’t back off that either.”
She now has a double-digit lead in her re-election contest against Democrat Terry Goddard. Her strong immigration stance partly explains the lead, Brewer says. “I think that’s the number one priority for a lot of people in Arizona, and they want someone who can fight for them.”
On another issue, Brewer blasts Obamacare, saying it will blow a $1 billion hole in Arizona’s $8 billion budget. “We simply don’t have the money,” she said.
“The federal government needs to do their job, and let us at the state level do our job. We know better than the federal government what the people of Arizona need.”
www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/jan-b… | | It jsut feels worse in Arizona/ THe problem is that California and Texas has a larger population to absorb the illegal immigratns so their eefcts are less noticed than in Arizona. Obama does not live there so he doesn't understand. There might be a side issue as well. Arizona is a conservative state like What California use to be. They might want to do what Democrats did in California and allow mass immigration in to change the voters demographic. I have seen Villargosa do that in a local politics. He was planning to build a high density housing in Santa Clarita valley to increase the number of Democratic congressman. | How do I approach my friend with this problem? I am 27 married with two guys. I have a single friend who is 23 and has a 4 year old. We've been friends for a year or so. We occasionally go out &sing karaoke, but thats it. I've tried to make other plans with her that don't involve going to a bar, but something always "comes up" or she doesn't have a sitter. I understand that sometimes it happens. She has no job and lives at her parents house, so she only has $ from guy support. I think that she is blowing me off to hang out with the friends that will pay for her drinks,etc. Here lately, she's been a little flaky. We were supposed to have a girls night out this past Sat. We planned for a month to go to a costume contest. I even bought a costume. A week before the contest, she posted all over myspace that she was going to go "get drunk and party" in another town. But she never told me.Thats just rude! I asked her about it, but she had some excuse. She invited me to go somewhere later this week. Do I blow her off? | | Sounds as if she's more of a party girl than you are, and she doesn't share the same priorities as you do. Are you sure you two have that much in common? Go out with her occasionally if you want, but I'd probably fill my time with others whose standards are more compatible with my own. Hopefully, she'll eventually grow up a little and focus more on being a responsible parent to her guy and friend to you. You have an opportunity to set a good example for her. |
