Hi

I want to upgrade an older laptop. I'm looking for a socket 479 Core 2 Duo T5500 or better cpu. PM me

A lot of good info there. Cliek

Hey ya'll! I'm an intern over at UMGD and I just found out that Paul McCartney is releasing a 3-disc cd/dvd standard edition and a 4-disc deluxe version with a bonus dvd of his live performance “Good Evening New York City!” As far as I can tell, McCartney has been a a rock inspiration to many other artists and will forever be a legend in my eyes. After everything with The Beatles, the tragic death of some of those members and even the personal battles we don’t know about, Paul McCartney’s music is reaching a status that is sure to continue to leave a profound historical mark on music worldwide. The man seems unstoppable! I unfortunately wasn’t able to attend the show in New York, but there is no way that I’m going to miss out on this combo phenomenon! I just ordered my copy today.

In Gossip Girl I hate Jenny, I do but I'm giving her the benifit of the doubt so this is just a point that I have noticed. Does a Queen not have the power to make people popular? Couldn't a Queen walk up to a lowly peasent and make them popular? So if Eric is not popular, why can't she go to him and since she loves him so much, MAKE HIM POPULAR? Because if she's Queen she has the power to do that. Her minions should find who she thinks is cool popular, she shouldnt think who they are cool popular. She shouldn't want to impress them, they should want to impress her. She shouldn't change to fit what they want, they should change to fit what she wants. Am I incorrect?

There's this bird called Mary, yeah? She's a virgin (wossat then?) She's not married or nuffink, but she's got this boyfriend, Joe, innit?

He does joinery an' that. Mary lives with him in a crib dahn Nazaref.

One day Mary meets this bloke Gabriel. She's like `Oo ya lookin at?'

Gabriel just goes 'You got one up the duff, you have.'

Mary's totally gobsmacked.

She gives it to him large; "Stop dissin' me yeah? I ain't no slapper I never bin wiv no one!"

So Mary goes and sees her cousin Liz, who's six months gone herself. Liz is largin' it. She's filled with spirits, Barcardi Breezers an' that.

She's like 'Orright, Mary, I can feel me bay-bee in me tummy and I reckon I'm well blessed. Think of all the extra benefits an' that we are gonna get includin' extra dole innit?.' Mary goes 'Yeah, s'pose you're right'

Mary an' Joe ain't got no money so they have to ponse a donkey, an' go dahn Bethlehem on that.

They get to this pub an' Mary wants to stop, yeah? To have her bay-bee an' that.

But there ain't no room at the inn, innit? So Mary an' Joe break an' enter into this garridge, only it's filled wiv animals. Cahs an' sheep an' that.

Then these three geezers turn up, looking proper bling, wiv crowns on their heads. They're like `Respect, bay-bee Jesus', an' say they're wise guys from the East End.

Joe goes: 'If you're so wise, wotchoo doin' wiv this Frankenstein an' myrrh?

Why dincha just bring gold, Adidas and Burberry?' It's all about to kick off when Gabriel turns up again an' sez he's got another message from this Lord geezer.

He's like 'The police is comin an' they're killin all the bay-bees. You better nash off to Egypt.' Joe goes 'You must be monged if you think I'm goin' dahn Egypt on a minging donkey'

Gabriel sez 'Suit yerself, chum. But it's your look out if you stay.' So they go dahn Egypt till they've stopped killin the first-born an' it's safe an' that.

Then Joe and Mary and Jesus go back to Nazaref, an' Jesus turns water into Stella.

I was watching a news story on Caster Semenya and it got me thinking....

If a child is born a hermaphrodite - should a parent have the right to decide on the gender of the child at birth or should the decision be that of the child, when old enough to make that decision?

Should there be a decision at all? Is it necessary to be classified as male or female in a society which says that both genders are to be treated equally? Obviously the choice to be a particular gender determines the reproductive future of the child - but for all other purposes, is classification necessary?

And do you think that once a parent decides on a gender for the child and the child later in life realises that they want to be the opposite gender, can they claim compensation from their parents for 'forcing' them into being a particular gender?

it certainly has been ages since i've been here! last login in may??? didnt realise it has been that long

miss all of you

Little time to prepare? – No problem; we’ve done the research for you.
Pursuing your dream job is a big step, so get the ultimate start by using these best practices for success.

1. Attitude - When was the last time you heard that someone negative actually had something work out well for them? Have a positive attitude and nothing will stand between you and your dream job. If interviews make you nervous, remember you are not the only one in the ‘hot seat’ – you are interviewing the company as well!

Be persistent and do not give up, there is no failure than that of not trying.

2. Resume – It is paramount that your resume be up-to-date and reader friendly (meaning well-spaced, formatted with bold headings and clear, short points). Highlight and prioritize pertinent experience and credits. Employers do not have time to ‘search’ your resume for relevant information.
Next, take time to tailor your resume and cover letter to the position you are applying for – doing so shows initiative and that you researched the role and matched your skills and experience to it. This is also a good chance for some reflection - to double check that the role would be a good fit for you, before moving forward.

3. The Company – Be sure to arm yourself with the best tools available. Research the company you are applying to: its origin, when it was established and major clients - Wikipedia can be a great resource for this. We are extremely fortunate to have such information at our fingertips and should take advantage of it. Ignore the bad press that you read, as there is bound to be some, just keep an open mind. Showing knowledge of current issues involving the company (whilst staying away from controversial topics) will say a lot about you.

4. Interview Psychology - It is important to present yourself in the way that you would like your prospective employer to see you: organized, sincere and capable. Before the interview, make sure you have: at least two crisp copies of your resume; business cards and; any references you’d like to share.
Practice a firm and assured handshake. Be polite, smile and make eye contact. This can be challenging for many – bear in mind that between 3 and 5 seconds is an acceptable length of time for professional eye contact. It is important to engage and really interact with the person who is speaking to you, also where possible try to draw on your own experiences during your interview.

Interestingly enough, research has shown that it is acceptable to glance at your hands, your lap or any materials (resume or references) that may be the subject of discussion–balance is the key, just don’t overdo it!
Lastly, never underestimate the impact of simple gestures: arriving on time, dressing appropriately (dark colors make the best first impressions) and addressing your interviewer by name and paying attention to your posture – no slouching!

5. And last but certainly not least…Breathe! Be calm in the knowledge that you have prepared and made your best impression, now sit back and relax.

Tickets can be bought at http://www.newmoonpremiere.co.za

If you can own three kinds of superpowers in, what do you choose?
I hope i own Hiro's time control, Matt's reading intention and the self-healing.

does anyone believe in letting a friendship grow with a person before getting involved intimately (I guess more so if your looking for a partner then a fling)..

do you reckon it would save alot of heartaches? especially for gals who tend to jump in too fast and discover they're hooked on an a**hole too late

how do you blokes feel about it?

just curious

I feel like I know my fellow OFFICE fans pretty well, and I imagine many of you will be with me on the lack of laughs in this episode of The Office Season 6. But I also know that at least a few of forgave the previous 30 minutes when you got a glimpse at Jim’s speech during next week’s wedding episode. Whether you have a big of Jim & Pam wedding fatigue or not, you have to admit it was sweet.
