hmmm

What do you do when the worst of life is true, and its the downs not the ups that happen, and life seems to be truly full of shit for a person such as you? What do you perceive and what actions do you take for if every person around you seems to be have achieved their grand shares of whatever any person could desire but not yourself? What do you do when that unfortunate situation of yours seems too overwhelming for a yourself to handle and you feel the entire weight of the world on you're shoulders? How do you adapt and go through hard times?

Hello!

Recently I have been trying to learn investing and financial thins. I want to start investing in the stock market and a whole lot of other related stuff right now. Unfortunately I am not knowledgeable nor do I know much about investing or anything about finance that well, so I am sort of a newbie in this. I was wondering if you guys could help me by giving me any tips for starting with baby steps since I'm a complete noob, any advice, online links I could use for help and learning etc, thanks.

I'm sort of in a bad sitaution right now. I have one of those emotionless, expressionless unnecessarily cruel teachers for AP Stats. Right now things got a little out of hand. Before I had this teacher, I was in another AP stats class with an awesome teacher, however the scheduling was all wrong and I was switched with this teacher who seems to be sort of a bully and all the things described above. So on Monday this week, (last week being the first week of the school year) we took a small quiz. Unfortunately I lost my folder with all my homework in the ensuing chaos of the first starting school week and I was not able to do the homework section of the quiz so she made an exception. I got to do the second section and I pretty much bombed it. So what happens? She tells me (the day after the quiz when we got it back) to see her personally after-school.

I go see her after school since I have AP stats at the end of the day, then she asks me if I think I should be taking this class. She asks me to reconsider everything, then she subtlety called me a liar because she questioned me if the homework was done right before in the morning I handed her the homework (since I lost my binder and I found it later and so one of the pages happened to be missing when I handed her the homework that Tuesday morning and I rushed to give it to her later that same morning where I told the clerk in the school math office to put it in her mailbox). She asks me if I am struggling with this class, and basically she threatened me in a subtle way (showing no emotion of course) that she thought I shouldn't be taking this class and inquired if I am really struggling with this class. I told her no and it was more of an effort thing and I told her I have been slacking off the first week of school. So we have a test on Friday (the Friday that past) and she said that if I don't show her that I can do well then she will talk to me personally and in her words "reconsider taking this class for the rest of the semester". SHE IS WILLING TO DROP ME AND BE A BITCH FOR A FREAKING MEDIUM QUIZ ON LIKE THE FIRST QUARTER OF SCHOOL, she apparently has made up her mind about me and was willing to bully me into quitting this class (kind of tells you about her personality).

After I left school those words made my entire world shattered. I mean I just felt destroyed because I want to do well this year. So the following night I can't think of anything else to do, I can't even do my homework and I can't even think clearly, I started filling dizzy and weak and worst of all I'm scared to even touch my AP stats textbook. So the night before Friday, I study what I have to but I'm struck by this massive headache and a sore throat. So this morning I wake up and the headache is worse then before. I go to school then to the school library and I see my friend doing his AP stats homework. He needed some help and I found out that apparently he too was threatened by my AP stats teacher that if he didn't do well on the test then she will talk him into leaving this class. He told me that he started asking questions and then she started to spare him because, to her, he seemed to be inquisitive. That morning it got worse and it climaxed when I went to take the test last period of the day. Luckily there was a sub in her place, and the fever/headache was so horrible that I ended up not finishing the test. I tell the sub about how I was feeling, (I didn’t go to the nurse before the test because I didn’t want the bitch to think I was bailing out). So the sub tells me to write a letter and stick on the test and tells me “I guess you’ll have to wait and see if she buys it” (since apparently he thinks I’m trying to deceive the teacher as well). So I write the letter and I write on the letter pleading her to make her give me an alternative re-take test. So here I am right now worrying my ass off, and just thinking on what to do. I can’t afford to drop any classes or screw up this school year, so tell me, what would you do and how would you feel in this situation?

Would anyone be willing to join a public Hamachi Tl.net network? I searched for the old ones and none of them seem to be working anymore. So I have decided to create a public network, if anyone is interested.

Network: Tl.net
Password: 123

If there is an existing one please tell me, otherwise go to the above, if you're interested in a couple of games. If you want to create you're own, please post the network here.

Ok, so far I have yet to actaully improve in my general Starcraft gameplay!!! Massing games and watching over them isn't actaully helping me, because even though I know what I did wrong, I do the same things over and over again. Like for example, if you knew you macro'd bad, then you marcro'd bad, I mean you can't improve you're macro in the next game just by playing another game again. You need to know things, the strategies, what to do in situations recognize what you have and what you're opponent has and you have to know the specific processes to improving macro or micro etc etc. So I need some general advice on what I should do, and other alternative means.

Here's what I have:
Old keyboard
A laser mouse from like the 2000's, that sucks (but is still usable!!!!!!)
BW chart (which I don't use, because I can't exactly find anything helpful except finding about my apm or build orders and hotkeys)

I don't have any gaming hardware or anything of that kind. So I'm low on the infrastructure category. Now, for a noob like me, here's what I have to ask:

-What do you recommend doing to improve what I can already do? Like for instance what should I do to improve my overall macro? play single-player custom games?
-I've heard about UMS maps where like for instance you have to destroy a whole field of mines using a group of dragoons in like this training map thing, I know there are UMS maps where you can improve in specific sitautions you face often in a certain matchups or improving overall where can I find these maps and could you name some?
-What should I do to learn about the advantages and disadvantages of certain maps?
-If I am watching a replay what should I look for? For example, besides looking at what the player you're trying to learn from and his opponent have at different intervals of the game, what else should I look for?
-There aren't basic build orders, because every single game differs but if you're going for like a single strategy with many build orders that can correspond with the build order of you're opponent how are you supposed to get the timing straight? How do you learn those specific build orders and know exactly at what time to do this and that/build this and that?
-How do you use BWchart for improving in starcraft? (excluding what I described above)
-How can I can improve in controlling multiple armies? Like how do you use keys such as attack-move, and the move button or patrol and many other useful buttons in sitautions such as flanking a terran army, or sorrounding a group of hydralisks with zealots etc?

I'm a complete noob sorry!! I would really appreciate it if you guys could answer those questions and post more general advice and what I could do by myself to improve besides watching mass replays

With the limited, closed playstyle of the protoss race, I think at the highest level its one of the hardest races to master and use both. Bisu failed to live up to his consistency ever since he lost to Mind, and then decided to throw everything he had away since joining SKT1. He had everything no protoss could ever match at his time; his beautiful sair-macro playstyle vs Zerg, he had sick timing and an awesome playstyle as he had demonstrated vs Hwasin, Stork and many others that he had encountered. Now there is no protoss, and all we have right now are the candidates Jangbi, geumchi, Kal, Shuttle, Best, Pure, Hero, Free. Those are the best candidates rigt now for a future winning scene eruption, also those are the players with any hope againts Jaedong, the current zerg slayer of Protoss. Bisu could take down Jaedong, he studied Savior's style somehow and beat him in almost every single official game while no other Protoss could. He proved this by beating Jaedong in that andromeda game, but then Bisu seems to be a facade now. What Protoss will bring back hope to this once stagnant race and most likely beat Jaedong?

Are they free? Where and when can I find them? How does a person join one?

Ok I know this is a stupid question, but I'm can't seem to find the button where I can select another file to download from that torrent file in Utorrent. For example when I tried to download Best vs Kwanro, I only downloaded the first file but then I had to delete that torrent file and download the same torrent file again to choose a different torrent file, like game 2. Can someone please tell me how I choose another file in Utorrent? -_-

So Tl.netters, I on a two week trip, both involving living in the households of two different uncles. The first week involved getting out of my cave from conservative boring rich Naperville, Illinois. My stupid mom decided not to tell anyone including me the day before the trip and told me the subsequent morning. She only told me that she wanted to go to New york and pittspurgh in a summer vacation, anyway I went beserk at her and as of now i'm still furious with her that includes a plethora of many thing different things. I finally decide to reconcile since I don't exactly cook for myself and there is no one at home for food even though I am sixteen. So what happens? I leave my bag with all of my stuff in the house. How did it happen? I took two bags for myself, one with clothes and other with accessories, I left both downstairs. I ask my mom if she has taken both of my bags, she says yes. Turns out she hasn't just when we reach the airport I find out. The next hour or so I was complete daggers at her. So we get on the plane and everything is cool, I get a seat to myself away from my mom and sister which i am happy with. Chicago'O hare Air port is pretty decent, I had a water bottle with me with water and I had to dump the water in a garbage can since I can't take liquids or so it seems.
So we have to stop at Cincinnati, Ohio and I'm looking out my plane window. Wow! I have never been to Cincinnati, but damn this place is nice! I am a nature-forest person, so I see everything is hilly and full of trees, all the houses are spread out and there seems to be so much space, roads and less highways. Its not cramped and not at all flat. The Air port was really nice, and the people there were much more "civilized" and nice then the people at O'hare. It felt clean and open, so we get on another plane and head over to Pittsburgh.
Now I have been here before, way back in 02-03 and my uncles house is still the same house as before, just a little bit cleaner. Since its the same house, I am subsequently wrapped in a cycle nostalgia and a little of regret over what I have so far accomplished for myself in the last five years and how much the world has changed for me since then etc etc. So we stay for a week, and Pittsburgh seems like a very nice place. The people there are more tolerant then where I live, very few if not any obnoxious drivers, its so hilly.

But I love it!!! We went to the Zoo which was a ripoff, and go to saw the steeler stadium and a whole of other sites. My and my uncle was going to visit CMU, but then we never got around it. We visited this water park called sand castle and we got to see some relatives, but I still didn't feel it was a great vacation.

So we left on Sunday, with some trouble along the way and it was the first time coming to New york in my life. I saw the buildings, not too different from Chicago. But I thought it was better, I expected New York to be much more vibrant and exciting, alas when I got off the air port and off to the streets it wasn't exactly the vibrant buzz I was expecting. I arrived in my other uncles/aunt's house and man I got the feeling of New York. We took a shuttle and then the subway to Brooklyn where I would be staying. We're staying at something called a private "house", sort of like an apartment except it looks like a house. Man, its so overcrowded here!!! AND THE COCKROACHES!!! The place seems to be filled with the tiny fuckers going everywhere. I mean for a place it seems nice but then it seems getting any meaningful space in NY is an incredible hassle. We visited the Hudson river and today we are going to visit the New york museum of natural history and central park. Pretty much the entire day we won't be at home but outside going around.

Places to visit in New York:
Zoo
Brooklyn bridge
Museum
Central Park
Statue of Liberty
Coney Island
and other places

Please do add some places to the list since these are just some places out of my head, I mean there is just so much to see here as I understand it. Also I would really appreciate if people could give me some travel/place advice and any other good info on the place since it is the first time coming here for me. Hey maybe I could have the chance to meet some Tl.net members since I have never met a person in real life that was into progaming or the SC professional scene, or know that much of it. Give me a PM or post if you're willing to meet a sort-of-tall skinny/sckrawny starcraft-fan kid.

I'm sorry, lately I have been unable to follow the whole MBC+Tl.net attack thing and everything that happened in WWI. From what I remember, some dude here (I think Xeo), had a talk with Savior and his coach about his recent style of play. Basically what was made clear, was that Savior needed to improve his lair-play vastly, research the ling upgrade thing, and a whole lot of criticism/advice from his fans that gave me the feeling that Savior felt he got his butt-spanked by his fans and had no choice but to go back after WWI and get his ass on the chair and start working while hitting some zerg play. Also he got demoted to B-team which might strengthen his will somehow depending on how he is feeling. But my inquiry is this: Will this mean that Savior will began to show some form again? Did you guys give Savior some motivation and somehow make him assure us that he will starting working hard again? Because I want Savior to come back, and I prefer him over the fake-zerg king lame-ass cheapshit Jaedong (sorry). The first time I saw Savior play, I hated him but now I prefer it that he show some of his fearsome play again and I want him over Jaedong. Remember, it was Savior who won on all anti-zerg maps, not Jaedong, it was Savior who also won on these maps while having like a 70-ish percentage in nearly all matchups defeating the best players at the time on their best maps that favored their race. Of course I'm just a blind fanboy but still.

Second, I remember someone said that Savior or CJ would also participate in the Tl.net attack event but now I only see MBC+Sea/Light, why is CJ not participating? I could be wrong. Hmmmm I need to search.................
