  1. Still sounds fishy. This hotel ALREADY HAS your address and phone number. Definitely don't put it on the facebook page or message the person through facebook with the address.
  2. This book has a step by step guide through the memory palace technique, starting with the 10 Commandments as the first exercise. http://www.amazon.com/Memorize-Faith-Most-Anything-Else/dp/1933184175
  3. If you break it down, it isn't that much at all (better than baby-sitting, worse than teaching full time) 10 weeks per semester (conservatively), so 20 weeks for a class like PA HS AP classes. $500/20 = $25 per week per student (total $250 per week) Weekly class (1 hr), prep (2 hrs - assuming the class is already developed), chat room (1 hr - conservatively), grading (5 hours - 1/2 hour per essay) total 9 hrs $250/9hrs is only $28/hr, before taking any out for tech support, advertising, online hosting, internet service, etc And all the "benefits" have to come out of that too (medical, dental, FICA, taxes, etc) They aren't making a lot of money.
  4. Is this a thing? I thought they could get credit cards at 18 (assuming an income)?
  5. I'd call the PT. That's where the PCP refers people to first around here anyway, only referring for surgery after months and months of PT has failed. I also Googled rotator cuff injuries and found lots of websites with the exercises, diagnosis guides, etc (primarily by baseball guys)
  6. A few Google searches show that many colleges, even in California, do indeed look for four years of college prep math. CALTECH UCLA Boston College: USAFA: MIT: Harvard:
  7. I gentle cycle wash and hang dry almost everything that says dry clean - the exception being suitcoats. In all these years, I've only seriously messed up one pair of pants. I knew they were a risk because they were lined, but they were cheap enough to try it on.
  8. I've also heard that eating lots of garlic (raw, as in hummus and tzadziki, or by the clove) repels ticks, so maybe it helps with mosquitos too. We have bats, so it hasn't really been tested here.
  9. I bought a pair of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Earth-Tamarack-Womens-Size-9-Black-Leather-Pumps-Heels-Shoes-/381230240652?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item58c317d38c slightly larger, and put a little piece of stick-on cushioning between the ball of my foot and my toes. It keeps my feet from sliding further into the shoe and squishing my toes. (since my middle toe is longest, instead of my big toe, and isn't strong enough to stop all my weight from going further,) The shoes are much comfier than any other heels I've ever tried, even before the little cushion. (I got the idea from a shoe at LLBean, but it's not in all of them.) Clark's Indigo line are also comfier than most You might also try these: http://www.insolia.com/#benefits-1 They are inserts you stick on the insole that shifts your weight back to evenly distributed between the ball and heel (instead of all on the ball of your foot)
  10. Like many other things, these aren't allowed at the Academies.
  11. DS read them for fun. The other kiddos weren't interested.
  12. Can you call the company that made it and get a recommendation for a local technician?
  13. The only time I have ever seen this on a swim team was on the high school team (ie. not a year round competitive swimmer) whose suit should have been tossed long ago. She wasn't even that large, but the suit had long since past it's useful life. And it's against the rules so the officials wouldn't let her compete in it. Speedo type suits provide support when they are TIGHT (not after they have lost all their elasticity or if bought too large). The "Endurance" Speedo suits are not elastic enough. Lycra and tech suits are.
  14. FYI. The German Halliday Physics book was bundled with a German version of the answer guide.
  15. Where are the American physics grad students going? And what is considered "qualified"? Drive, creative thinking and passion are not taught in STEM courses at any level. They are taught through the classics (Greek, Latin, mythology, Caesar, etc), classical literature, poetry memorization, art and music - all things that have been removed from or seriously limited in modern education.
  16. My son is in the beginning stages of developing an idea for a game in his head that he would like to turn into an Ipad App. What should he be doing to turn that idea into a reality at some point? Learn to program. Do we need to have a Mac for this? Thinking of getting a new laptop over the summer so I'll definitely keep that in mind if needed! It is much easier if you have a Mac, and a separate, larger screen. Should he be learning to program? Learning game design? I have some game design books that he can look through.. Yes. Any help would be much appreciated. He might want to experiment with a few simple apps first. Or try adapting an existing one: https://www.udacity.com/course/make-your-own-2048--ud248
  17. Zeiss makes eyeglass lenses? NIkon? Wider peripheral viewing area? The optometrist has been holding out on me. I have progressive lenses and hate them. They are hardly ever in focus.
  18. I can't hear it either, at least in English. I remember having to do this in 8th grade and being so frustrated with it, Then again with poetry. Oddly enough, I have no problems hearing it in foreign languages.
  19. I've seen many that do not. SOme closets didn't even have doors. We had trunks.
  20. Find out where in your community people are supposed to recycle their old computers.
