  1. Well I have a Chinese German friend (no Canadian in him though) but he's more into tennis than track. Well it's good to have yet one more runner around
  2. Well someone else here happens to be in a AP US class! The main point I'd use is the system that the Puritans used to decide who was in the "elect". The elect were the people they thought would be saved, and whether or not you were elect was judged by a council that you had to make a presentation to. Since the Puritans viewed wealth as one of God's only visible signs of blessing to you, it was a MAJOR factor in being one of the elect. Consequently, those who didn't have a lot of wealth (or proof of God's blessing) were rejected. There came about problems because, well, what would you do if you went to a council of men and tried to convince them of your blessings and saved-ness and they said you were going to hell? Most people would've just about quit the religion! In fact more than a few did, and the "Great Awakening" (not sure of the dates) was around that time as well. Do you know the "halfway covenant"? IMO that was an action taken by Puritan leaders to stop the trend that they foresaw. Hope that helps .
  3. Cool picture Curu! Although the mug is a bit smaller in size, and vertically overproportioned. ^I know I used a lot of big words there but I couldn't think of any other way to say it
  4. gj? Is that me? I'm not sure if your talking to me, but hey, I'll answer anyways! I'm actually not sure how I placed at the meet. Not even in the first half I don't think... Our top seven didn't run, instead nine through fifteen did, and I was ten (on the team, which means I was second man in the race). I want to improve quite a bit as well. 17:00 would be quite a goal for me. ...and I live in Illinois, not Colorado. (*says hi from the west!*)
  5. Hey Andy I just got 17:52 last Saturday! Beat you by one second!
  6. I have thought about this idea many times and I would buy one right off the bat!
  7. Yes get a good big picture of you holding it or it hanging on a wall or something. This will be cool
  8. Wimps! I'm already entering my second week!
  9. Started the 24th. Only, what, 180 days left of this?
  10. Skates... Minnesota... You must be Sam's friend!
  11. I like the colors, but it does look kinda heavy on the left. Also I think the proportions should be 1.66 to 1 or the golden ratio, not 2 to 1.
  12. Well I probably learned how to really swim at swimming lessons at a local pool, but I've been in and around water for much of my life. My family has always owned a sailboat, and technically, I was sailing on a boat before I was even born !
  13. In French class, we learned "autobus"... funny b/c I thought our class would primarily deal with France French . Québécois
  14. Isn't there some word that means "because" (not "parce-que")? I thought "car" was some slang for a french word for because... Am I thinking of somethign else? EDIT: Yes AFAIK I am going on a European vacation next summer! In France I know at least we are going to Paris and Lyons... I think Lyons. Anyhow, don't you live by Toulouse?
  15. So are you saying Lance Armstrong got cancer by doing large amounts of (performance enhancing, I'm assuming) drugs?
  16. Well still. Doesn't only quebec french use the word "car"? Or am I thinking of something else?
  17. Sweet it's cool to have so many french speakers on the board! I might be visiting here tres souvent as the school year goes on!
  18. What is "good job" or similair phrases en francais?
  19. Doesn't "ka" make a sentence interogative or something? Genkhi desu ka? (sp) Wait you said "wa" and "ga"... nvm.
  20. Sweet trip and sweet pictures. Sounds like a grand ol' adventure. It looks like the new fad is posting vaca pics .
  21. Make sure you post it when you're done. I don't know really anything about codes and cyphers and such, but it sounds interesting.
  22. Calvin, from "Calvin and Hobbes" once said "Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding"- this seems to follow that course.
  23. Cobra, nice title! How'd they ever figure out that you made the post?
