I know those words very well, Andy. I am a PhD student.
Think you misunderstood me, Patrick. I meant to be approving of Google scholar. I just thought if you needed the kind of depth PhD students need, there might be better choices. When I'm not engaged in PhD research, I probably will use it quite a bit.
Looks OK for casual use. To do the kind of research a PhD student would need is something else entirely. There are better resources for that.
They just want power, and will say or do absolutely anything to get it. George would shit on the Constitution on national television if he was told it would guarantee a win.
Want a degree, Patrick? I'll mail you one of mine. It's not doing me any good anyway.
Much missing of point on this thread.
The diploma mills are NOT granting credit for life experience. They aren't checking that. They aren't checking anything except whether your credit card is good. You don't even need to be able to read to get one of these degrees.
THere are legitimate, accredited institutions where you can get credit for life experiences. Thomas Edison College in New Jersey is one. Be prepared for some tough examinations for all the life experience credit you claim to have, given by for-real college professors. It's not easy to get these credits, even with the life experience. I know, I got one of my degrees there (B.S. in Economics). They will NOT let you claim enough life experience credits to earn a degree. You will have to do a substantial amount of work beyond what they will allow you to try for as life experience.
But the school is fully accredited (Middle States, if anybody's asking) and was enough to get me into two graduate schools. (PhD in about 1 1/2 more years).
I got that same advice regarding jazz improvization on the guitar. Begin by copying lines you admire from people you respect. Just keep adding them to your repertoire. Your own style will gradually emerge as your skills improve.
Alos, spend time on the basic skills, scales and modes, etc.
Hadn't heard that, Ken. My bad.
Rah! Rah! RAH!
Paul Robinson
Electric. Kenny Burrell, Joe Pass, the incomparable Tal Farlow. Thousand others. (I had a chance to obtain a Gibson Tal Farlow once, for $1000. I didn't have the grand, and I've cried about it since).
Sounds like the only advice I ever got from my grandfather:"Always drink straight whiskey. It won't let you forget that what you are doing is getting drunk".
I only found out I'd never seen him sober when he was on his deathbed, and the doctors wouldn't let him have any whiskey.
Ventures??!!
You play stuff by the Ventures???
You'd want a Telecaster for that. I have an ES-335 and it just doesn't sound right for that stuff.

Jane, I emailed a properly credited copy of your poem to my wife of four months, Hope you don't mind. It's just lovely, and she cried when she read it.
Very cynical, Ken. Probably only a SMALL part of their considerations. If it was a big part, they'd be bragging about it. They're politicians, after all. They can't help bragging.
Was that Shakespeare? I thought you wrote that, Patrick.
What do you think the possibilities are that the mayors' revolt will take this issue off the table for November? If it's a done deal, W and the boys will have a problem trying to turn back the tide. Kerry can remain above the fray, claiming "states rights". (I love it!). What do you folks think?
He's not Bob LaFollette yet, but he could be. And I hope he does. The country needs him to be.
You know, more than half of the people in the country would support liberal positions if they could. They agree with them. But the Repubs, especially the whacko fringe, have the media. Maybe this internet thing is the way to reach out to our natural base, and a way to get information out to counter the big lies. If Dean and his organization can just do that much, they've done the country a great service.
How about he runs for Senate, and starts a Dem organization that matches the ones DeLay and Co. run for the Rebubs?
