Yeah its nice but with the potential of today's editing tools coupled with the remarkable talent on the forums i think you should at least have some type of contest to showcase what is possible. then maybe select the top 3 and have some real 1337 people further edit them and make them professional looking then a forum vote.

Thank you all for your posts. Today i sat in my car (which really isn't mine its my mom's car, but that's not relevant) and i tried EVERY SINGLE POSSIBLE STATION and i actually found two with no interference. I'll do another check tomorrow and if those two stations work i think I'll be keeping the iTrip. Now that i think of it my dad had something similar to the iTrip but (being the technology know-nothing that he is) never used it because he probably didn't know the first thing about how to use it. Kind of funny because he was a radio DJ for like 15 years or something, his generic iTrip ended up getting stolen from his car.

Hi you perhaps may remember me from a few pages back.. after my original post i found the girl i was going to ask to semi and asked her. turns out she got asked 2 periods earlier? buzzkill. but i rebounded. then i asked this one really popular girl i know and she told me two really cute girls were still left. seriously i have no idea how they didn't have dates. the one I'm actually lab partners with so i asked her. she said yes. it should be a ton less awkward than the other girl. so that went well :thumbup: now we come to my first problem which was that girl who thought i was cute but is kinddaaaa out of my league. well last weekend guess what? my friend and i drove around all day. then at night we met up with some other kids and went to a local eatery which is very popular with kids my age. GUESS WHO WAS THERE. yeah a group of my good friends from school and a group of her and her friends sitting at a different table.. only problem? by the time i turned from my friends to say something to her she was walking out. we barely made eye contact. It would have been a perfect opportunity to get her number and maybe hang out with her later in the night but there seemed to be a bit of coldness in the room, not necessarily directed toward me but for some reason the girls all seemed pissed off or sad. there actually was a good reason to be sad but its not worth going into depth. so then my friends and i drove around behind a car of my other friends. deep down i hoped that we would go over somebodies house and that she would be there. the car we were following then decided to speed off and ditch us as a joke. then when we called them there was an air of shadyness in their voices like they were ditching us to go somewhere, though i'm not sure if they were (i know there was no big party or anything that i missed). so anyway i only talked to her twice since then and i have yet to find the opportunity to ask for the elusive number. it's not that i don't have the confidence to its just that i dont have the right opportunity.

5lb ankle weights would be murder.. i'm pretty sure the heaviest you can even buy from eastbay are 2 or 3lb and its on the same page as basketball pylometic stuff so even that is built for sprinting. instead of 5 lb ankle weights i'd rather a 10 or 15 lb weighted vest for more weight dispersal.

Since school started all i do is tears/pengs weekly then i'll log on daily to get sand and cactus spines (sometimes coconuts if i feel up to it).. but i know there are probably a dozen more things i could do. could someone please suggest them or point me to a guide? also what is the current recommendation for MTK? thank you.

that's great to hear. here in PA our #1 and #2 AA (small school) teams from my district went 1-2 teamwise in both boys and girls state races :shock:. there being 12 districts in the state its a pretty incredible feat.

hi i live in a city with a population of like 72,000.. today i bought an itrip (wired version) thinking that it would be a nice thing to have with my new iphone. it also would serve a dual purpose as an in-car charger. Well i used smartscan and it worked about 80% on that channel but there was interference and buzzing (the channel it smartscanned me to was a perfect reception radio station). then i manually tried just about every frequency and there was nothing better. the only channel that was off air was one of the local college stations but the itrip wouldn't transmit over it.. yeah so basically what do i do? i kind of don't want to return it until i'm 100% sure there is no station and then i'd have to buy an in-car charger anyway.

I'm sure you're aware of the fact that you are a giant. at that height and weight, muscular inefficiencies and problems with your long distance form will hinder your ability to train for and possibly go sub 7. I say this because I've never seen a football player with what is considered acceptable running form. Unless you have been logging (for example) 10-15 mile weeks consistently it will be virtually impossible to go sub 7 or to start an effective running regiment without substantial weight loss. There is also a very high chance of injury if you are looking to make such a radical improvement at a distance that is quite frankly a whole 'nother world apart from the 100 and the 40. My advice: start easy. and start now. don't wait out the winter because this is going to be a long term improvement type of thing. start out every other day doing hip strength and foot strength exercises. those are two common areas of problem for inexperienced runners. on the days that you don't do the hip/foot exercises, go out for a run. 1 mile, 2 miles- that's all you need. assess your areas of problem and inefficiency. the first thing you'll notice is a deficiency in your vo2 max. that's normal. next you'll probably realize a terrible heel striking problem. at this point I'm assuming that you have bought a good pair of shoes for a heavy runner. if you feel fine after your run, do heel raises to build shin strength. then your on your way to being able to run a sub 7. honestly i would recommend trying the 800 before anything but if you enjoy the mile, more power to you. see you on the running thread.

i finally found a ton of gold and a little lava in my dungeon.. but i died so i'm screwed

okay i figured as much but thanks for the advice haha. i've made this huge underground mining thing that has spanned through 2 pre made dungeons and has gotten me a ton of that redstone and iron (somehow no diamonds, gold, or lava yet -.-). i usually do a 3x3 spiral down in each digging spot then once i reach admium i dig out at all angles. also on the way down if i find any iron or red stone i dig in that direction and create a (LWH) 5x5x4 or 7x7x4 room for further examination. also im going to make an underground tree room.. i just read the wiki but i would appreciate advice on how close to put the saplings and where to put the torches.

I don't think my post has to be relevant to any debate as long as it is relevant to the subject line, which it clearly is. My mistake for your lack of knowledge on 90's pop culture. It's on biggie small's wiki page and has been the same since i last checked about 5 months ago meaning it is most likely true. The point of my post was to perhaps encourage a discussion considering that one of the best rappers who ever lived, never lived, because of abortion. i see that was simply wishful thinking on my part. continue with your important discussion and frivolous shutting down of legitimate posts. your lack of knowledge and open mindedness is appreciated by all.

hi i just started playing again. i have the full version from the free weekend. 1.1.2 i think. i was just wondering what that big grey area is below the admium.. its probably not a good idea to jump? or is it?

oh btw after i read a post here i went and watched the long green line on hulu for free. great movie.

:thumbdown:

ortrademe, thank you for your sarcastic post it was really helpful to me. i just ended up using a different camera.

Hi sorry if this is the wrong forum but i have to do a project for school and as usual i got stuck doing the camera work and editing.. i thought it would be sweet since i got the iphone 4 yesterday which apparently has this great camera and all that.. so first off the clips aren't compatible with WMM?? i don't know whats up with that. next i downloaded hamster video converter and when i convert to mp3 it flips the video.. so any horizontal video (which appears normal) converts upside down and any verticle video (which appears rotated 90 degrees to begin with) is turned to the other side. I need to find a video converter or someone experienced with hamster that can tell me how to make sure clips taken either horizontally or vertically will be regular looking when i convert and import them into WMM. Google was to no avail and it only sent me to various video recording sites. HELP would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the advice guys. I consider myself a confident person around girls but i just really fell off the dating scene last year (sophomore year). and now being one of the youngest kids in my class i'm often stuck if the activity isn't within running distance from my house (that is my standard of measurement) and no friends offer me a ride. I should be able to manage both situations though. i'll let you guys know how it goes.

I feel almost helpless having to post here but you guys seem to give really good advice and i'm in two kinda weird situations right now that could go wrong if i don't make the right moves 1. Okay so this girl, we'll call her mary. she transferred to my school at the beginning of last year. I didn't have any classes with her, the sparse few days each month when i went out i never saw her. then she ran track and at an invitational like an hour away a good friend of mine introduced me to her. shes really friendly and we kind of hit it off. she's also one of the popular girls, hangs out with the cheerleaders etc. last year and summer i didn't see her. really not once. in cross country this year we started talking a lot and i have two classes with her. one day my friend asked me who i was taking to semi.. i thought i had a shot with her so i said her. he talked to her people and they said that she would say yes. when i asked her in person the next day she had gotten a date the night before :( but then we started talking more.. just in person not really texting or even FBing. then another one of my friends let me know that she thought i was cute. so then i started flirting with her more and as some of you know i'm a bit of a rapper so i wrote her a love poem somewhat as a joke and she was speechless after i gave it to her and really blushed when she read it. i really have no problem talking to her and flirting with her but there starts to be a a major problem. I'm not really afraid to admit it. she's of a higher social standing than i am. she hangs out with the coolest kids. and though i am great friends with some of the "coolest" kids i still don't get invited to every party every weekend. I'm secretly a loner. i have a pretty weak communication network in that i don't find out about the weekends going ons unless directly from two or three of my closest friends. The truth is that I haven't really "talked" to a girl since i was going into 9th grade. i've had a few hook ups since then but this girl is worth so much more and i think i have a really good chance with her. what hinders me from taking it to the next level are several variables: tl;dr: please advise me as best you can based on these problems, you may have to read the above. 1. I don't have her phone number and i don't know how she would take to me randomly texting her.. before i text her i really just want to hang out or at least be in the same place outside of school. does that sound pretty normal or should i be more aggressive? 2. I don't have my license (80% of my grade does). she's getting her's within a month. which means a small get together with her would be awkward because both of us would have to drag along friends for rides. 3. I'm rusty on my texting skills: I haven't "talked" to a girl in a long time. though i am getting an iphone next week i can't say I'm familiar with what teenagers really text about and how to text without exposing too much about myself and my feelings(which kind of ruined a past relationship) 4. I'm not confident with my sense of style around girls. around the guys, i always get commended on my shoes. i kind of blend some preppy elements with sport brands and ski brands. its good for going out or the activities i enjoy the most (skiing, running). the bad part is that i usually just spray on some axe and i'm really insecure about my hair since my life-long stylist is taking a year off. Because my closet isn't full of current fashion i also have a ton of clothes from places that nobody in my school buys clothes from, namely aero and american eagle. Please suggest some brands. 5. I don't know how to start hanging out with her. this is probably the biggest problem i have. Of course this girl, if i start texting her, will want me to invite her places to hang out. I HAVE NOWHERE TO GO. of course there is the generic movies but besides that i got absolutely nothing. what am i going to do? invite her to my friends house when its just a bro-fest? if she invites me to a party or something the fact of the matter is that if none of my friends will invite me i'll seriously have to resort to my parents for a ride.. to a party where there will possibly be booze. Do you have advice for me? or am i overthinking this a little bit? please help guide a guy that has just been derailed from the whole dating process. Problem number two(i'll make it fast): After i had to find another date for semi, there were some decent girls still left to be taken. one of them ran cross country so naturally i choose her. the only problem is that i don't talk to her. at all. one of her friends came up to me today and asked if i would ask her. i said for sure i would. then i realized I DONT HAVE ANY CLASSES WITH HER AND CROSS COUNTRY IS OVER. how do i go about asking her? i don't want to offend her or act like its a burden but i don't want to be real creepy about it either.

I'm not going to state my opinion, but a few months ago i found out that Lil Kim was impregnated by biggie smalls but aborted the baby. think about that one.

my mom had me when she was 41.. i was 18 days premature but hey i lived. a teacher that i had last year remarried when she was around 45 and had a kid at 46 and 47/8. she brought them to school once.. it seemed like both of them had something wrong with them.. one was definately mentally handicapped. ps i think its also true that the younger your parents are, the better you will look or something? is that a proven fact?

I've been listening to a lot of music lately and i find it very appropriate that my post about kanye was recently quoted. i stand by my opinion that it was a terrible song and on his new album he really failed to progress. there was one song that really stuck out to me.. it might have been called "can we get much higher" or something along those lines. that was as close to the kanye i know and love as i'll ever hear. Obviously mainstream rappers are usually not the most talented or the most lyrically profound (eminem, drake being exceptions). To find real hip hop and rap you have to look a little bit underground. you can't be listening to wiz khalifa and saying he is one of the best out- he's really not. look on a mixtape website before you form your opinion of whats good and whats not. here are some of the best artists, songs, and mixtapes that i believe are REALLY the hottest out right now: Big sean (finally famous volume 3) Wale (more about nothing) Lupe fiasco- the show goes on Royce da 5'9 (bar exam 3) joell ortiz crooked I maino- price of fame

the classiest i ever dress out of school is when i put my polo shoes on <3 trust me when you wear a suit jacket every day in school you don't take fashion all that seriously aside from a few must-have brands (north face, ralph lauren, etc) i try so hard to rock my puma slip ons and oakley/puma/adidas track jackets but i don't think they're catching on anytime soon.

i've written some pretty long posts myself but the point you are trying to convey could be expressed in about.. 1/4 of that wall

Well i think its safe to say that we had a horrible districts race. its the end of the road for us haha. i'm fifth on my team and the kid #5 from the winning team (who i beat by 3 seconds at beginning of the season) beat my entire team starting by 10 seconds. he was still fifth for his team.
