I know this is something every kid in college goes through, but that doesn’t make this any less anxiety-inducing…and I don’t really know why I’m posting my future on yahoo answers…
I’m in a program called PEG (Program for the Exceptionally Gifted). I’m in college, and I’m 15 years old. So I’m kind of forced into the whole “figuring out what you want to do with the rest of your life” thing a little earlier than I should be.
About a year ago, I used to be really big into DIY. I never really stopped, but getting into the program and just finishing my freshman year of high school took priority of ANYTHING extracurricular. But being here, I’ve gotten back into fashion and the DIY-ethic in a really big way. It’s something I really love.
But I also love writing and English. Neither of these are the most stable career-oriented passions…
I know I want to go to school at FITNYC (Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City) once I graduate from Mary Baldwin. I’ve been thinking it over and thinking it over and it sounds like it’s just for me. But I don’t know what that would mean for…life, I guess. Fashion and English? No matter what I do, I want to write. Not necessarily connected with any career I have, I just love creative writing. But…I don’t know. What am I going to do in the real world? I don’t have any delusions about being the next Project Runway star, or being the greatest designer. But it’s a passion, and surely I should be following that.
I just don’t know. Any advice is wanted.

I have a small law office in upstate NY. My assistant “M” began working for me 1 year ago. Her scheduled work hours are M-F, 8-5. She has a BA but no prior experience (first job out of college). She earns 30k salary w/ health and bonuses (~3k/year). I try to be a good boss — I am flexible with scheduling for appointments etc. and have given her almost two weeks of paid time off IN ADDITION TO paid major holidays.
On some days, at least early on, M went well above and beyond. She worked late, came in early etc. Within the past 6 months, her performance and attitude have taken a nose dive. She has missed at least one day/month on account of sickness and is regularly (3+ times/week) at least 15 minutes late. She has not only stopped staying late, but now regularly leaves 5+ minutes early and often begins putting on her coat etc. well before 5pm. She regularly complains to me and co-workers about issues such as annoying clients, lack of ventilation, it being “too nice outside” to work etc.
Last week she asked if she could come in late the following Monday because she wanted to “sleep in” on her birthday. When I politely declined, she developed an attitude. While I did remember “Administrative Assistant’s Day”, (she and others got $50 gift certificates and lunch at a country club) I must admit that I subsequently forgot her birthday. She has developed an even greater attitude since then. She brought in all of the birthday cards she was sent (to her home address) and posted them on the wall above her desk. A non-so-subtle protest of my oversight?
Her behaviors, while somewhat childish and unprofessional, are not egregious. She’s not stealing, insubordinate, etc. That being said, given the current state of our economy, I feel that she should be grateful to have an “entry level” job which pays 30k ( the average attorney in my area starts at 45-50k, many earn less in their first few years) with fully paid health and bonuses. I guess what I’m saying is that, if it were a “behavior” that I had issue with, I would feel compelled to sit her down and discuss ways to improve her performance. In this instance, I feel that this is more of an “attitude” problem that can’t really be corrected with a consultation.
Should I try to reason with her — or simply let her go?

I am having a hard time with this. And I honestly want to understand, and I am not out to disrespect Christians with this.
Three in my mind, is not One.. obviously. True monotheism, is not One with three facets.. It seems a borrowing from the pagans who believed in triple aspects of Gods/desses.
Secondly, I could be a christian here and now if I could just see Jesus as the word made flesh.. that is to say, the one who was sent by God to teach and lead the example of the ideal way to live to which all can strive. Yet I can not see him as God or God incarnate it goes against ever fiber of my notions of monotheism and the ill necessity of such an incarnation. If I offend my fellow man, I ask his or her forgiveness, then I ask God to make me stronger and not do such a thing again. If I sin against God, I definitely ask his forgiveness and strive to not do that deed again either. I can see Jesus as the last sacrifice, in a far stretch of imagination, from the mosaic law about sacrifice needing to be made.. He would be the last of such sacrifices for all time.
The wages of sin is death, each man and woman will pay this price one day.. why make God out to exact a most unjust punishment on all beyond that? Accept Jesus sacrifice, keep to the highest commandment “Hear, O Israel!, The Lord your God is One God….Love thy neighbor as thyself.” and one would hopefully find Heaven in the next life.
Lastly, I do not mind looking to Jesus as Lord..as in a sovereign, a leader of the Christian people and he who led a sinless life for the guidance and teachings to all who would come to be christians. Yet as a God, or much less a member of a triune Godhead.. this I can not accept.
Most Scholars accept that the I AM statements of John were later additions and that the book of John itself is not apart of the Synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. Even Mark was later edited on.. interpolated it is said.
Please no platitudes… I have been told by many christians many explanations… The egg theory, the how one can be a Son, Father and Uncle.. this is not advancing the problem of Jesus being God..And I have also been told “just pray and God will guide.” I pray nightly and it keeps driving me in these questions to greater heights of theories and ideas, yes, but they all lead to see GOD as GOD and Jesus as Lord, who was the word made flesh, but not GOD incarnate. It has also led me to see the Holy Spirit as being the gift of man from GOD. Yet this is as distinct personages, not all being GOD or some sort of divine mystery.
And some say Jesus is the only begotten son.. what about Psalms 2:7 which calls David God’s begotten son?
I ask for open minded, thoughtful christians to aide me in this matter, please, I truly wish to find a peace with this.

1. In the past, few high-status science awards were won by women, a situation that failed to give many outstanding women scientists the recognition they deserve.
2. Having entered many feilds of science in large numbers since the 1970s, numerous low-level and mid-level jobs are now held by women.
3. Attaining the highest achievements and awards has been beyond the grasp of even the most gifted women scientists.
4. When the announcement of the newly elected members of the prestigious National Academy of Sciences was made in 2003, major advances by women was suddenly realized.
5. Having selected seventy-two new members in 203, seventeen were women, a large number than ever before.
6. When selecting new members, important scientific discoveries are the major decisive factor.
7. Having discovered the relationship between telomeres( the tips of chromosomes) and aging, an obvious choice for membership was Dr. Carol Grieder of John Hopkins School of Medicine.
8. By discovering that a surprisingly large number of human genes control the sense of smell, Dr. Linda Buck earned her Academy membership.
9. To make the study of primates less subjective an more scientifically organized, the Academy recognized Dr. Jeanne Altmann.
10. Having risen from 12 percent in the mid-1980s to 20 percent today, an increasingly greater membership for women in the National Academy of Sciences is expected.

Alright, well, I’m about to make myself sound extremely stupid here … but, hey – I’m used to it. & we all sound stupid when we don’t understand something, eh? ;]
Anywho, I’ve recently begun to make videos on YouTube using this video camera I got for Easter as an extremely late birthday gift from my step dad (long story. lol.). So yeah … The quality looks fine on the camera – pretty nice actually. But, when I go to play it back sometimes or mostly when I upload the clips, the quality just isn’t as crystal clear. &, really, I suppose this is to-be-expected, since the camera he got me isn’t exactly the greatest one on the market as far as expenses go. &, honestly, that’s fine with me. I mean, I’ve wanted one for so long. Why complain now when I finally have one? (I’m trying to be more fortunate these days & less of the total spoiled child I’ve always been in the past, all due to my consideration of the economy & my deep need of cash for college ;])
Anywho, some people are telling me that HQ memory cards would make the viewing quality a bit better when I go to play the clips back on my computer. I’m not so sure this is true or whatever, so I’m basically just asking if it is. Also, if it makes any such difference at all, do you know any memory cards which may be best? (The one I have atm is pretty cheap. q:)
But, like I said … I’m trying to be more grateful. So, really, it’s all more out of curiosity than anything else. q:
i’m assuming it’s the lighting … now that i think about it. oh well.

I’m truly frustrated by seeing so many thumbs downs when people (myself included) respond to the “how much” questions with an amount of money greater than $25.
Are we all that much of a bunch of cheapskates that we can ask questions to the effect of – “how do I get the most cash from my guests at my wedding?” – - – yet when one of us suggests a generous gift of $50, $75, or $100 everyone seems to hit the thumbs down?
I grew up just outside of New York City. A plate at at wedding is $50 to $75 easily (often more). So if you do the “pay for your plate” rule – - $100 is covering your plate and giving the bride and groom maybe 1/4 tank of gas for their car.
Is that sooooo awful?
I realize there are alot of regional price differences and some of you are paying less then $30 per person for your wedding. But not everyone gets that sort of deal.
What’s with the thumbs down on the dollar amounts?
somebody please explain this to me?
One additional detail – - I’m not talking about people attending that are financially trying to make ends meat. I’m talking about people making decent livings and living comfortably.
Also, I’m not putting this “out there” as any signal to what I would expect to be given – - I’m simply frustrated that when I respond to this type of question with my own opinion of what is appropriate that I get thumbs downs all over the place.
Shanti – i think you aren’t understanding my question. I’m not asking for money. There are people posting here on this board asking “what is the appropriate amount to give?” and I’m posting my reply as to what * I THINK *. I try to be understanding and point to if you can afford it.
This is what I am talking about.
Somebody tell me why these people, responding with their opinions are getting thumbs downed – - -

i will state this again I AM ASKING WHY OPINIONS ARE GETTING THUMBS DOWN!
I am not asking in reference to myself, my wedding, or what anyone’s expected gift should be. I am asking when someone inquires on this board “what do you think i should give?” why are people giving thumbs down.
There is no wrong answer!
In my own case – I am paying for my own wedding, my fiance is contributing a portion, but I am carrying the majority. The money is already in the bank to pay for it. I am in no way, shape, or form, relying on or seeking cash gifts for anything.
