You open up yahoo’s front page. Look at the articles that are featured – Colbert for president, some guy winning 3 million off of nickels, Tiger woods gets his own gatorade brand, and scientists discovering over 100 new species….. note: these are the most prominently shown stories.
Scroll down a little. You get some world news, things that I’d consider to be important…. then… you get this….

How is this even listen in the most important things going on in America right now? Why are the most prominent stories about things that in all reality do not matter? Does it make anyone else wonder what people’s priorities are?
It fits into the gender and women studies because it mentions Ricky Martin…. lol
I was in here and went to ask, and I didn’t look at the category when I posted it…. Oops.
It ought to bother everyone else.
I frequently give my father crap for watching FAUX news. Recently, I watched him watch it, and in 45 minutes, all I learned was that OJ was arrested for stealing back his memorabilia and that there was a hurricane in Texas. No talk of any congressional hearings, the wars – nothing.
TV networks used to have separate news divisions which were set up as a public service, but they never made much money delivering the truth. Somewhere in the 1980s, news divisions were rolled into the entertainment divisions, and despite warnings by journalists at the time, were required to deliver ratings.
As the Internet is my primary source of news, Yahoo is no longer my home page. I just don’t care about Tiger Woods flavored Gatorade. Besides, isn’t it urine flavored?
One other thing: Why are stories about burning houses and car chases in Missouri being shown as NATIONAL stories? How is a broken water main in Omaha of any interest to anybody outside of Omaha?
I put the blame on the American populace, who would rather be entertained with harmonica-playing ferrets than learn about what’s really going on in the world
i want To drink AMP To try it Is it safe I will be doing a cardo Exercises I way 177 lbs
You will be fine. As long as you just have one. But one thing you will also want to do is have a glass of water with it. It has 80mg of caffeine in it. Caffeine takes more water to process than the Amp provides so it takes it from your system. This means it dehydrates us. This is the last thing you want before doing any exercise.
Any tips for road test?
I’m taking my New York State Road test tomorrow. Very nervous even though I had 7 hours of instructional driving and 3 hours of on/off driving.
Going to use the Driving School’s car(dual brakes). I can do turns/Broken U-turn(K turn as others call it)/ and Parallel parking decent. Taking 1 more lesson tomorrow before the exam.
Should I take any energy drinks(redbull) to help my driving or review how many times I have to rotate the steering wheel in order to make a right turn/K-turn/Park etc.
Here is what I have so far:
right turn=curve, 3/4 circle; left=90 degree angle, circle
k turn=two and a half circles to the left, hit gas a litte; put car in reverse, two circles to the right, hit gas a little;
two circles to the left, hit gas a little.
stop=stop before white line completely, foot off brake, stop a little, check left/right, then go.
stop so white line is visible; park so the car that is in front of you has its bottom visible; keep distance from car in front of you when at a
red light.
Hey Anne O, what do you mean/refer to by this:
"Make sure to stop on red and wait for the light to turn green when turning right eventhough there is no one coming and no sign that says NO TURN ON RED."
I passed.
Thanks for the help I certainly would of messed up if taken any sort of energy drink/been more hyper.
The only part that almost gave me a failing grade was the shifting on the gears(during the parallel parking) as it became stuck. I acted as if nothing was wrong and eventually went on.
She saw it and gave me 10 points(if she was paying closer attention earlier she probably would of failed me). Also I notice that these instructors are very picky with speed.
Thanks!
Don’t drink red bull or any caffeine, that will make you even more nervous.
When you are turning your car to the right or left, you don’t need calculations or anything. Look at where you want the car to end up when you turn and you should nail the turn.
When you do your K turn make sure you use proper signals .
Make sure to stop on red and wait for the light to turn green when turning right eventhough there is no one coming and no sign that says NO TURN ON RED. – I failed my first test when I turned right on red even though I stopped and check for oncoming traffic before I did the turn.
So when I took the test again, I stopped on red and took the right turn when the light turned green. To me this is pretty minor but the examiner made a big deal out of it.
Before I took my driver’s test, not only I was prepared but I knew in my heart that I can drive all by myself. If you are confident that you can drive alone, the examiner will notice.
Goodluck!
What can’t you do without for a week? (music, TV, cell phone, movies, video game, shopping, sports, food, reading books, partying, clubbing,drinking, smoking, having sex, driving, travelling … add to it if you have any more
music
food
water
so it’s dreaded finals week.. i have 3 of those suckers tomorrow so i’m gonna be up all night. I just took one of those 5 hour energy shots and bought a amp energy drink for later. would mixing these two be alright? And how well do these two brands work?
much appreciate any responses 
mixing the chemicals inside the energy drinks would create a revers effective makeing so your rush last about 3 seconds and your crash lasts about 1 hour those arent actully numbers but you can see the radical ratio here…..any mix monster (green) with coke/pepsi (regular not diet) for an added effective but your still going to have a crash it just wont be so super messed up like normal mixed energy drinks and it will taste better. To be compltely honest though you should use 5 hour energy it works better than energy drinks and has a very small crash…..but if u want the energy drink mix coke and monster i like to drink that when everyone like adults are haveing shots and i gets me pretty bussed of sugar and caffein but man will it wake you up!
