Book Buyback (Surrey vs. Burnaby)

Kevin M. — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 18:53:23 +0000

BuyBack Dates:

Burnaby Dec 1-12 & Jan 5-16
Surrey Dec 9-10

What's the difference if I return my books in Surrey or if I return them in Burnaby? Does Surrey only take back books for courses that are offered at their campus?

Dun dun dun....

What to get a girl for Christmas

JayDub — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 16:17:53 +0000

Geez, you girls are sure hard to shop for. I am trying to find my best friend a present but I can't find anything that she would either like. Either anything I think of she would not like because it'd be something you give your girlfriend or something you would give a guy friend.

I don't want to give her something useless but something with thought. Yet I cannot think of anything.

Bus251 and Easc101

gearshifter — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 14:33:07 +0000

Anyone know how the texts for these two courses work?

In Bus251, we need a FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING W/ACCESS CODE (9780470156759)... If I'm taking the course with MacDonald, do I need this online code?

Also for Easc101 with Kevin Cameron, do I need the text EARTH-W/CD >CANADIAN< (9780136138655) and GEOSCIENCE LAB MANUAL (9780536108821)?
Because last time I bought the required textbook for a course, and the prof just said "you don't need it, study off of my notes".

Thanks!

CMPT310 with Hadley

Agentbob — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 23:34:30 +0000

Has anyone taken this course with him? His reviews on RMP aren't that great, and my course selection is kind of getting short so I can't wait until Mori teaches it.

Suggestions, comments? Thanks.

Which FPA Class is...

JayDub — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 01:42:04 +0000

I know Ether asked this in the shoutbox but I am curious to the answer. What is the FPA class (I think it is) where they put random pieces of art all over the campus. I have seen them make a bridge across the Rotunda, and a tent in a tree.

Girls are getting more actions than boys.

Young women 'have more sexual partners' than men
Young women are more promiscuous than men, according to a survey that claims the average 21-year-old has had nine sexual partners compared with seven for men.

By Martin Beckford, Social Affairs Correspondent

The poll of 2,000 by the magazine More also found that one in four young women has slept with more than 10 people, compared with one in five men who had done the same.

In addition, half of those questioned admitted they had been unfaithful, whereas only a quarter said they had been cheated on by a boyfriend.

It comes just a week after an academic study branded Britain one of the casual sex capitals of the Western world, with residents having more one-night stands and more liberal attitudes than those in Australia, France, the Netherlands, Italy and the US.

Lisa Smosarski, the editor of More, said: "Our results show that after decades of lying back and thinking of England, today's twenty-something women are taking control of their sex lives and getting what they want in bed."

The magazine's survey found that few young women today hold to traditional views on sexual morality.

Just 1 per cent of young women said they would want to get married before having sex, with the majority losing their virginity at 16.

More than half said they were not in love with their first partner, and only one in three believe it is important to be in love with someone before going to bed with them.

Seven out of 10 said they had had a one-night stand, with a fifth admitting to having had more than five casual encounters.

In addition, 60 per cent said they would be prepared to do a "kiss-and-tell", and would sell their account of a one-night-stand with a famous person for £20,000.

Four out of 10 said they would marry for money or sleep with their boss if it meant they would get promoted, while a quarter would have an affair with a married man.

The survey also found young women are taking "huge risks" with their health, with 38 per cent not using a condom with a new partner and 16 per cent having contracted a sexually transmitted disease.

However the respondents still claimed they are not having as much sex as they would like, with 13 per cent claiming their love life is "disappointing" and a further 10 per cent calling it "non-existent".

According to the survey, the average young woman has sex three times a week but would prefer to do it five times.

Kiss of DEATH...

A young Chinese woman was left partially deaf following a passionate kiss from her boyfriend.

The 20-something from Zhuhai in Guangdong province arrived at hospital having completely lost the hearing in her left ear, said local reports.

The incident prompted a series of articles in the local media warning of the dangers of excessive kissing.

"While kissing is normally very safe, doctors advise people to proceed with caution," wrote the China Daily.

The doctor who treated the girl in hospital was quoted in the paper explaining what had happened.

"The kiss reduced the pressure in the mouth, pulled the eardrum out and caused the breakdown of the ear."

The chorus of warnings was echoed by the Shanghai Daily, which wrote: "A strong kiss may cause an imbalance in the air pressure between two inner ears and lead to a broken ear drum."

The young woman is expected to regain her full hearing within about two months.
