Yet, it was back in those “good old days” when things that we today consider necessitie ...

... where daily assignments can help to pad a grade, the main source of grading in college is the test. With possibly only three tests per semester in certain classes, I am under a heavy burden to do well on each test. Also, with all of the independence I now have, homework and studying are not always my first priorities. I would much rather spend time with my friends, watch television, or go to a party than do my schoolwork. I have found that all the distractions that are present in college life lead to procrastinating. There have been many times when I have put off doing an assignment until the night before. It is obvious that as a college student, I have had to ada ...

... it was apparent that this was not a shooting. It was, in actuality, a man lying in the water filled gutter stabbed through the breastbone. He lay on his stomach with his head turned to the right. He had a punctured heart. After perhaps 30 seconds of a field assessment, I saw a man with an extremely light pulse, the slightest of breathing, and a blood pressure of 40/0. The intruding knife used was no larger than a small blade pocketknife, one-quarter inch at its breath. It was similar in size to the knife that my father carried religiously in his pants pocket. The signs I noted in my evaluation, coupled with the knowledge of other signals, pointed to one t ...

... and since the past decade or so nitrous oxide systems are being installed. A typical big block V8, using a blower and nitrous, will generate about 600-800 hp, with an extreme of around 1500 hp. Germany has been known for building high quality, innovative cars. They take easily to tuning, and last a long time. Tuned German cars have been known to be some of the best handling cars in the world, typified by the company Porsche. Using somewhat lighter cars, they can corner at frighteningly high speeds.

... the word has had less importance as an insult, but more as a character trait in someone. It used to be said back in the 60's and 70's that the word bitch was a horrible insult and therefore woman were very offended by the term. Since then, as woman got more in control of their lives, careers and relationships, the word has become a symbol of power and authority.

When the word bitch came up, the female students in the class responded with the statement that they enjoy being called that name. They elaborated on their response by saying that they feel in cont ...
