Yucca tap room is reliable for good music.

She was a high school kid who was fighting her mom and a family friend about going into the charter high school they are in front of. She was a little high school girl.

new bill that requires students of public AZ universities to pay $2,000 out of pocket? by MandaMoo9588in arizona

[–]professor_mc 0 points1 point ago

You are correct. This bill is an amendment to the law that establishes the rules for the ABOR (ASU, NAU, UA) That mean private colleges including for-profit colleges would not have to follow this rule. It's would cause public universities to have a $2000 cost disadvantage over private colleges. Do you think they would put that in their advertisements? Hmmmm. I wonder who will come out in support of this? University of Phoenix maybe?

[–]professor_mc 3 points4 points ago

It looks both unconstitutional and unenforceable. The AZ constitution says that education must be as nearly free as possible. It's most likely unconstitutional to ban private gifts to an individual. It's also completely unenforceable. How will a college know where a student's money comes from? If a students church or club cuts them a $500 check to go to college how will the college know? Shit like this is why the state universities are looking to cut all state funding ties. The state only provides a token in support yet writes dumb mandates like this.

Making her look good would be like trying to make the space shuttle exceed the speed of light.

Travelers increasingly turn to tablet PCs on the road by ttruth1in gadgets

[–]professor_mc 0 points1 point ago

The last road trip I took with the wife we left the laptop and home but took her Kindle and my android tablet. I loaded several new games on the tablet to pass the time. It's a better form factor for sitting in a car than the laptop plus the battery lasts longer.

The same transformation that all those "perfect" models and actresses go through before their photo shoots.

Thinking about moving to AZ... in your opinion what is the best city for a young college student? by AllFloatOnokin arizona

[–]professor_mc 0 points1 point ago

NAU has very good education programs. Flagstaff is a small town that is cold in the winter and delightfun in the summer. As others have said if you are an outdoorsy person who doesn't mind the cold Flagstaff is awesome. It's a sunny town even if it is cold in the winter.

Tucson is just too scruffy. Outside of a few select spots it's mostly a dump in my opinion. I have family that lives there in several different areas and I just dread going to Tucson. Scottsdale and Tempe are the hot spots for college age folks and it's not just the party scene either. I'll PM you more information.

That is not how boycotts work. Shifting income to April is trivial. Boycott the businesses indefinitely until the conditions that cause the boycott are resolved.

PLEASE HELP battery problem: my new iphone i got for christmas is messed up (i think) by ahepler72in iphone

[–]professor_mc 0 points1 point ago

Installing the new OS is a pain in the ass. I've done it before and I have to do it for 2 phones each time. There's nothing I feel like I'm missing and if there is a 3% change my or my wife's battery life will suddenly go to shit then fuck it. In truth I have had more issues with my iPhone than I have with my Win7 desktop which has been flawless. Apple "Just works" my ass. I'll update when they fix the issue.

Yahoo Contacts Stopped Syncing Over The Air - Anyone know how to fix it? by professor_mcin iphonehelp

[–]professor_mc[S] 0 points1 point ago* 

I don't want to give up my yahoo email address and the contacts need to be with my email. I use google at work so I'm familiar with it and I actually like Yahoo mail better. I don't want to use iCloud at all. It's not a universal solution since I use Windows at work and home. And I'm not updating to IOS5 until the battery issue is history.

Top note-taking apps by Chrymain iphone

[–]professor_mc 0 points1 point ago

Evernote! You can use any drawing app that save to the camera roll then import the drawing into Evernote in a couple of clicks. There is probably a drawing app out there that does it right in the app I'd bet.

I have been using Evernote more an more lately.

I've decided to tidy up my files in 2012 - what's your recommendation for organising photos? by Sheriff_John_Bunnellin photography

[–]professor_mc 0 points1 point ago

I keep mine in folders for YEAR/MONTH. If i have a big batch of photos in a month I will make a subfolder in the month. When I edit a photo I save it with the original file name with (2) appended to it.

TIL that 70% of Americans don't have passports by assholebikerin todayilearned

[–]professor_mc 2 points3 points ago

The USA is 1/3 larger than Europe. ( 3.7 million square miles vs 2.3 million) A lot of people don't have the time, money or inclination to go out of the country. It's rare for people to get more than one week off at a time, if that. It takes some serious vacation time to get all the way to Europe or elsewhere and actually have time to do and see anything.

From my state capital to the capital of the state to the west is a 1500 mile round trip by car.

Do you have higher expectations of your significant other since you had such a long history with your "talented" mother?

Grand Canyon Skywalk Review – Is It Worth Visiting? by khmaryterionyin arizona

[–]professor_mc 2 points3 points ago

They put the north and south rim visitors centers where they are for a reason. They are at prime viewing locations. The skywalk is near the west end of the canyon and the views are much less spectacular. It's a tourist trap rip off. My favorite spot are the north rim visitors center and the rainbow rim trail on the north rim.
