you can buy USB turntables relatively cheaply that simply plug into your computer and let you play the audio out of your speakers or record it to your hard drive

trying to unwind after a long night at work

I would buy a couple of the 'CGP' revision books or similar for the various GCSE courses (and possibly a-level too) and work your way through them, and then download a wad of 'GCSE PAST PAPERS' along with mark schemes from the exam board websites, and see how you get on with them. If money is an issue, it might be worth asking the school if they have any old copies of textbooks/revision material they could lend you for the few weeks leading up to it too

Its not exactly the travel industry, but after university I plan to spend 6 months on a cruise ship either as a stage hand or sound engineer in the on-board theatre

pondering why I missed out on a promotion at work :/

just to explain what I meant by Racially Jewish, I mean along the lines of 'ethnically Jewish' as on many equal opportunities questionnaires, or as discussed in the article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews#Who_is_a_Jew.3F

at the moment its 'the provocation song' by mike scott

This on its own to me is a fairly interesting point, as Judaism is defined differently by different groups of people, and although the actual definition of 'Jewish' used by the state of Israel is largely irrelevant to any peace process, it is still an interesting topic in its own right. I wasn't so much talking about the intention of the law when it was written, more its current application, especially against the backdrop of extreme difficulty gaining citizenship for anyone not covered by the law. That is indeed an interesting point which I wasn't aware of, and does indicate that p

Arie, that last post also raises an interesting point related to the issue, especially around the ideal of Zionism, in that, can there truly still be a 'Jewish' race if they have been a widely distributed and to an extent nomadic people for many years? Would it be more accurate to call a person of Jewish descent that was born in America say, an american or a Jew? and by extension, is the 'Law of Return' in fact a discriminatory policy designed to force non-Jewish people in the country to feel intimidated and subjugated, or is it still a method to allow those of Jewish descent to escape persecu

Let me clarify what I meant, I was simply pointing out that under *any* occupation of land, there will always be resistance, especially when the occupiers effectively subjugate the Indigenous (or at least in recent history before the occupation took place) peoples, and especially as much of the conflict and proprietorial occupation took place within what could legitimately termed as 'living memory', it is natural that there is a large amount of anger in the population, and as they lack powerful international allies on the same scale as the Zionist movement and the state of Israel, to my mind a

Flogging Molly - Drunken Lullabies

Just a quick point to bear in mind for the people who are accusing the Palestinians of being ruled by terrorists, if you were living in a situation where you're entire country has effectively been dismantled and occupied by a force that hasn't lived natively in the area since the Roman empire ejected them, and it has been your historical homeland throughout the Ottoman Empire, to have all that taken away within more or less one lifespan, could you honestly say you would do anything different? And also consider the situation in Ireland, which actually has quite a few similarities, revolving a

Violins - Lagwagon

I used to collect warhammer 40k models and magic the gathering cards, nowadays though, my only 'collection' is my stupid amounts of live sound gear

dying on the inside trying to learn 'reverse polish notation'

fair enough, like I said, I have not used it for years, so it may well just be that the older versions had less extra work put into them, nice distro though.

I use ubuntu on my netbook on a day to day basis, and at university, the computer science department computers run SUSE, so I am fairly experienced with Linux. I like it but sometimes the lack of compatability with other stuff just gets on my nerves and I think about going back to windows/OSX, but I never do If I remember right Linux mint is a derivative of ubuntu that includes things like proprietary codecs and drivers out of the box and slightly different default artwork, I tried it a few years ago though, so it may have changed by now

Drama Graphic Design or Music technology

they sent a letter out to all the parents at the start of each academic year, but the money was handled confidentially, so if someone couldn't/wouldn't pay the full amount (or at all) there was no way of knowing, but the school was mainly state funded

There was some excellent advice in that post, but I just thought I should flag up that plants are actually not particually healthy in a room that you sleep in, as at night, they revert to normal respiration (or something similar) and produce CO2 (although less than they take in during the day) so they are not ideal unless you have another means of circulating the air (window, fan etc..) this is my source to back that up... http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/bot00/bot00191.htm

Just to point out, that in the UK 'public school' also means private school, we use 'state school' to describe government funded institutions (although with academys, faith schools etc.. the picture gets massively more complex) I went to state school and did just fine, I cannot see the point in sending my future kids to a private school unless I'm in a situation where they would need to be in a boarding school (eg. I am out of the country working for extended periods)

6th form is post-16 education and our schools never had a 'tax' but always asked for donations, I think the suggested level was around £30, but I cannot remember (my uni also asks for donations, bloody cheek!)
