Thinkin bout a life
Of promiscuity
   -detachment
 
Boys smiling at me,
       In their cars, eating a sandwhich,
Languish and waving

I wave back and smile, and get a high,
But not tonight – guy

Think of following me home
 But hey- that’s creepy
 Hasn’t been done yet

Wanna be chased
And fucked around,
Like it wont affect me
On the table.

Overweight moms
In the field
With their problems
And their attitudes

I know more bout it than professor does
The eating disorders
 The whys
            And the cuz

Yah, im pretty ordinary
When it comes down to the gritty

Flashin toothy little smiles
And always wanting to look pretty

Leavin class, and smellin my fingers
After touchin my own ass
The cat knows whats in the container
Yah its milk
And who could blame her.
Shes a fashion model
Fuzzy , squatle
In the line of fire
One of dreamers
One of dancers
And im lookin for ways to file
All my life
Documents
And all the coffee stained sentiments
While my dry mouth sucks on peppermints
And im smoking
          All the while

I got a good one to come home to
I got a bathroom
 With soft tissue
I got a mind that thinks and reads
Ive got some history – with speed
Ive got an inkling with no seeds
Ive got a watering can – empty

Ive got a pretty purring cat
Ive got a way – to deal with that
And this and several problems later
Ill be ready to bungee -  off equator
And im young and openminded
Ready here, to taste and try
All the things I might pass by,
            AND REALLY,
 You know I got it made
In a way
Ill figure that out someday
When im 80 plus, and spitting puss
And taking up the big wide seats
                        On the front, of the bus

5 Steps for Doing a Literature Review While Conducting Research

As any student knows, a literature review is the starting point for almost any article or essay.

At the level of writing a thesis or dissertation, a review of literature is critical.

However, when doing a literature review especially for dissertations usually students face this issue.

You have already wasted months in this section but still lost in multiple subtopics of the subject of your interest.

The main problem is that at the end of digging through a whack of literature, each sub topic leads you to a new direction.

Can’t find any help to systematize your excessive data and organize your thoughts?

Relax!!

Follow 5 steps that will serve as literature review help to guide students in preparing that chapter.

1. Collect Only Relevant and Quality Data One of the basic problems faced while writing a dissertation literature review is that you find excessive data on your selected topic.

Every topic has multiple subtopics, which are equally interesting, but they will take you to an entirely different path.

The real job is to stick to the data that is relevant to your topic and avoid getting lost in the literature.

Also make sure that the data you are collecting is peer-reviewed.

Most universities give great importance to whether and to what extent your chapter references peer-reviewed work.

Check the publishing houses before making reference of a particular point.

2. Take Notes or Do Referencing

You need to research allot.

Read all the primary data available regarding your subject and make notes or jot down references.

Make sure that you are reading and noting down only the relevant stuff to your case in point.

This is important because it will help you to re-sort easily what you have read and what is required to be stated.

3. Copy Down Main Ideas

Sometimes you find information, which is very pertinent to your topic, but you need to further drill down in to the ideas presented.

Be consistent as to, in what field you want to put your data in to.

Attach your PDFs or cut and paste the significant portion of the work for further elaboration or research.

4.Sort Literature Into Groups and Make an Outline Sorting your literature in to groups is very crucial.

It helps you a great deal in dealing with tons and tons of data that you have collected.

Making endnotes sometimes also serves the purpose.

You can also make an outline.

The outline should be such that it guides you and provides you with a map as to how you should proceed with your literature review.

5. Make Heading and Sub-headings

Making headings and subheadings help you to remain on track.

While writing headings be sure that all the heading and subheadings relate to each other and make sense even when they are read out of context.

6. Identify Gaps and Unnecessary Repetitive Work

Be certain that your work is not a constant repetition of what you have already explained.

Try to bring out new ideas and relate it with your previously written work.

Identify and correct any gaps present in your work.

The aforementioned points will help you to select and organize your literature effectively, that will help you in doing a literature review section in a logical and coherent way.

In the late afternoon today I found out Sweden sentenced me to 5 months in jail.
 
... for growing fungus/herbs and expanding my mind - harming no one, effecting no one, no one even knowing about what I'm doing (except for the gestapo that enters without probable cause, without reasonable suspicion and without a warrant).
 
So all you Lev-haters rejoice - we live in a system setup to take folks like me down one way or another. If it wasn't funny fungus it would have been my whacky hair color, my jew-nose or what have you. It was just a matter of time.
 
It's interesting to note that the social inquiry I had resulted in an encouragement to the court *not* to give me jail, but community service. It also clearly specified that in their opinion that there was *not* sufficient evidence to suggest I have a drug problem.
 
As far as I am concerned, the verdict was reached the second a purple-haired, tattooed, pierced man stepped foot in *their* court. Justice is far from blind.
 
Here's the full article:
 
28-åringen har erkänt narkotikabrottet. Det var Eslövspolisens ungdoms- och narkotikagrupp som i januari i år gjorde ett tillslag i mannens lägenhet, efter att han stoppats i en bil som framfördes av en känd cannabismissbrukare, båda två verkade då påverkade och polisen beslutade sig för att slå till mot 28-åringens lägenhet.

Det blev full utdelning. I lägenheten pågick både cannabisodling och odling av knarksvampar. Tio plantor och 90 gram torkad svamp påträffades. Utöver detta fann polisen odlingsutrustning såsom värmelampor och vattenkannor. Mannen var innan tillslaget helt okänd i narkotikasammanhang.

De narkotiska svamparna kallas även för psykedeliska svampar, på grund av att de innehåller hallucinogener. Äter man svamparna infaller ett psykedeliskt rus. Svamparna är narkotikaklassade i Sverige. Utöver framställan av narkotika dömer Lunds tingsrätt även 27-åringen för ytterligare ett narkotikabrott, på grund av att han var narkotikapåverkad vid tillfället då polisen fick korn på honom.
 
Rejoice prohibitionists - you've destroyed the life of yet one more person who doesn't choose to live like you.

For nearly a decade now, I have accepted (with pride) any labels such as "anarchist" or "libertarian" - just about anything that would dissociate myself from the mainstream left, the mainstream right, the mainstream socialists and the mainstream capitalists.

Most people will tell you, "every young rebel has a 'phase' they go through in which they reject authority". However, I think it's safe to say that, as my feelings, passion and heart have not changed in 10 whole years, and as I am now approaching 30 - this is more than a "phase". If anything, my passion for libertarianism only burns brighter and stronger as I age.

Now while some people may insist that with the state of our world today, it's more difficult than ever to be a truly devote libertarian, but I beg to differ. Because of the state of our world today (ethnic, political and religious turmoil), because of the contrasting differences between the left and the right (black and white politics), and because of the know-it-all-ism and political-correctness that saturates the minds of virtually every "open-mind" out there - now is possibly one of the easiest times to be libertarian.

Sometimes just defining that term (libertarian) can seem like a daunting task, but it really couldn't be any simpler. Unlike the left and the right, libertarianism is all about liberty (freedom) - whereas left and right politics is all about talking about freedom, saying you believe in freedom, but really just taking two polar opposites on most issues and rarely (if ever) basing political decision making on the simple question "does this violate liberty?"

For the earlier part of my rebellious youth, I found myself more closely relating to the sentiments of the leftish parties, and while that may still be in many ways, over the past few years I've started to finally make sense of why they are different than what I believe in. In short and sweet, the left really is no different than the right. While the left is usually looking out for what's best for everyone, and the right typically finding solace in man's selfish desires and wants, I really can't say the left is any better because both political ideas suffer from the same drastic flaw: they want to force what they think onto everyone else.

Here's an excellent example of what I mean; and actually the sole inspiration for what motivated me to sit down here and scribble out some of my thoughts on this whole topic of "political correctness":

Today I received a newsletter from change.org discussing some issues people have been discussing and voting on lately. One of the issues immediately caught my eye: "Racist Facebook App". In its petition text, it says:

Vaseline (owned by multinational Unilever) has just launched a Facebook application that will help India's Facebook users to whiten their skin in profile photos. The application is intended to advertise Vaseline's skin-lightening creams for men -- products that not only promote a distorted idea of beauty, but can also damage consumers' health.  

Tell Facebook that apps are fun, but not when they promote racist ideas about beauty. Ask the company to take this offensive app off the site.


So here we are now with a petition on change.org - rallying for support to censor Facebook (for whatever the reason may be). First of all, let me make this perfectly clear: I am not a white-supremest, a racist, or in anyway think white skin is better than any other pigmant. While I may not necessarily agree with or even condone what Unilever has done here, I am behind them 100% with their right to do it. It may be a shame that apps like this may convey the ideas that they do, but what is even more of a shame is that 10,000 people out there actually think censorship is the solution. *NO* viewpoint, no matter how obscene, "offensive" or harmful to society should be eligible for censorship: PERIOD. I thought more of us believed in that sort of stuff, but apparently, it's just something we all love to talk about. Let us also not forget that ANY idea, opinion or belief runs the risk of offending someone: PERIOD. It is a frightening day when we've all collaborated on the belief that as long as it offends most of us, or even a lot of us, it's worth censoring.

And that is what separates people like my from those in the mainstream left. The politically correct way of thinking today is: "if you don't like what someone else is doing, saying or thinking - let's rally to take their right to do that away". That is exactly what is going on here, and exactly what I feel is wrong with leftish thinking. These people somehow believe a system of practicing intolerance (by censorship) will someone yield a society in which we are more tolerant - yes, that still baffles me.

As a libertarian I believe we should stop using our voices and numbers to censor and prevent everyone else from doing what we disagree with, but instead use our voices to intellectually debate WHY what others may be doing is intolerant. But of course, it's a whole lot easier just to bully people, companies and groups into submission than actually using our brains to rationalize with them and onlookers of why their ways are wrong.

That really is why I can't say I fit in anymore with folks on the left - because when you get down to it, they are no different than the right. They think they have all the answers, they think they know what's best for everyone, and they will use their numbers and whatever means necessary to ensure they get it (whether that means the law or what have you). Now while they may very well see issues from completely different angles, the bottom line is they both use the same fundamental practices. Worse of all, they both love to talk a lot about freedom while stealing it away from you in the name of "tolerance".

The right loves to legislate selfishness, the left loves to legislate political correctness, and the libertarians say "enough with the fucking legislation already!".

This is probably the biggest thing I have left that I had to do before the stable release of Theia (July 12th, 2010): profile enhancements.
 
So I'll just start like this; what do you have in mind?
 
Please no "like facebook" or "myspace" - I don't use either of them, and I don't want to just clone something. However, if there is something you like about either of these sites, or anywhere else, you're welcome to specifically describe a feature or aspect you are fond of.
 
And how much control would you like to have? Would you like to be able to have full control over the page's CSS? Do you want just a generic menu of some basic colors you can change?
 
Do you think you should be able to position where the various fields/blocks appear on your profile?
 
List anything and everything you think about when I talk about this - I can guarantee you that I will not be including everything, but I will try and get to some of the ideas at least!
 
Much obliged!

First off the obvious: TT has a new theme (Azura).
 
There are also lots of new features, many of the notable ones include:
 
- IM (a button will now appear on everyone's profile - if they are online - allowing you to instantly chat with them) support
- Attachments with private messages
- Vastly improved control panel of buttons
- Additional support for sorting items to choose between ascending or descending mode
- Improved avatar manager (in case you missed the previous update on this)
 
There are also lots and lots of bug fixes, but please do keep reporting them if you think you've stumbled on one!
