Love Android?? Love Lego?? Support this project!!!

One of our fellow Android enthusiasts has created a Lego Android Bot. He has submitted the project to Lego so it can be put into production, however he needs 10,000 people to go onto facebook and twitter and vote for his creation. It's super cool and super simple to support. Just wanted to pass this info along. Here is a link to the story which contains the link to the voting page.

Sometimes I think this crowd-source thing gets a bit out of hand.
So dude makes a Lego Droid. Whoopie. OH NO! IT COSTS A WHOLE $30! Heavens forfend! Call in the National Guard! WE MUST BRING DOWN THE COST!
>.<
Now, tell me again Why should I give a rat's patootie whether he makes a kit out of it or not. So, he can...what? Sell it for $25 and THEREBY SAVING ME A WHOLE FIVE DINERO?!
Yes, I'm having my curmudgeon attack. Somebody hand me the Pepto.

What are you getting your SO for Christmas??

I am at a loss as to what to get my girlfriend for Christmas this year. I usually give awesome gifts and know exactly what I want to get her for whatever occasion, but I have absolutely no idea what to do for Christmas and time is ticking away. What are you guys getting your girlfriend/wife/so?

Nuffim!
We quit trading Xmas gifts about 10 years ago.
Have to play catch up on birfdays and anniversaries tho...

Reasonably large Huey indoor IR remote helicopter.
The Snowman on BR (I keep telling her I mustn't forget to order it even though I already have it - she's getting worried).
Some music CD she wanted.
Hugo BR.
T-shirt with "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few - or the one" printed on it.
Weekend after Xmas I'm taking her into London to see Walking with Dinosaurs at the O2, and staying in a 4 star hotel afterwards.
Sexy lingerie.

I'm getting my right hand a blue glove and I'm giving my left hand a reindeer mitten.

What to do with my life

I am 16, in grade 10 and my grades are on a downhill tract. I got As and Bs in 8 and 9 but G10 is extremely hard and pressuring. I study hard every day and do NOT game a lot(Maybe 15 mins a day playing BF3). I know G11 and G12 are going to be much harder, and I will never get to go to University/College.
What could I do? I really feel bad.

If you are taking honor or AP classes drop them and get regular classes. I say its better to get As and Bus in regular than Cs and Ds in honors. You'll get a higher GPA. If your worried about college admission look into joining a sport. You'd be surprised at the people that are in college. Not all are book worms. Community college isn't a bad thing to join either. Talk to your school counselor.

You need to examine where your grades are lacking. Are you completing and turning in all homework? How are your test grades?
Tutoring is a good idea, too. I don't know you, so this one is unlikely, but if you have even minor learning disabilities, there is a LOT that can be done.
All challenges can be overcome if you understand the areas of weakness and devise a plan to overcome them, specifically.

If you can, a tutor can work wonders. They can be expensive I realize. My son homeschools, and we got him a tutor for algebra. It has really made a difference for him.
When I was in school, wow 22 years ago, I got behind and never caught back up. I did get a 3.0 GPA, but only because. I was real good in certain classes, so be wise with you course selections. Pick subjects that you can do well in to go along with the rest.You would probably find your teachers to be very helpful if you asked them for help. They love it when someone wants to learn, and shows initiative.
Also, college is not the only way to make it in life. There are many fields and business opportunities for someone without a college degree. I am not rich, but have zero debt, own my house, cars, toys, etc... I own my own company and never finished college. Just wasn't for me. I know several millionaires who never went to college. They were just smart with their choices!
Don't give up. That never accomplished anything .
Good luck.

Go rob a bank, then get caught and go to jail. You will get free food/clothes/shelter.

My gosh, you people are angels, thanks much for your help and please keep em coming

If you have a chance to do some internships at museums or a zoo, go for it, I did and had a blast! It adds an element of fun to high school. Also I transferred out of high school to the high school completion program at my community college in Portland, absolutely loved it! Anyway just be smart and enthusiastic about your choices, and try to enjoy a few courses along the way.

Exactly, that is my perspective on life too. Do what I love and as long as I get a good enough pay to make my family happy, I am good.
However, in South Asian culture(I live in Saskatchewan Canada) people think that if you don't go to university, you are a failure.

Its not hard. You just need to decided if you want to wake up 6 days a week for a really crappy job pays nothing for the next 40 years or sacrifice a few years now to be doing what you want and having a great stress free life. Its up to you. Pick up the book now!

Can anyone tell me about this old book?

I have a book published in 1793. Its a compact medical book.
I cannot find any info on the author. Publisher. Or even the book itself. I'm at a lost which is why I'm coming here.
Is it worth anything? Is it rare? What do I have here?
Can anyone put me on the trail at least?
Sent from my SM-N900P

Wow. That is pretty old! I would check your local area/city and see if you can hunt down a historian. Try at universitys, If you can find a professor they may be able to tell you where to go next, or better yet reference you to someone who specializes in old books

How would i go about doing this?
Sent from my SM-N900P

Try going to a uni or college and ask the receptionist if you can arrange a meeting with a history professor, or better yet, the college/uni may have a website where you can find contact details for the professors. Try using that to contact them directly, telling them about the book

Wikipedia on the author:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Elliot_(scientist_and_physician)
"John Elliot MD (1747 – 22 July 1787) was a physician and scientist in eighteenth-century London who was the first person to conjecture that different parts of the retina respond to particular colours of light. However, he was obsessed with Mary Boydell, daughter of the publisher John Boydell, and in 1787 was arrested for attempting to murder her. Although acquitted of attempted murder, he starved himself to death while awaiting trial for assault in Newgate Gaol."
Here's a book about John Elliot M.D:

Don't expect it to be worth much. Even First Editions don't sell for much more than a few hundred pounds and i bet they are in great condition. See here for comparison:

Hello,
The book you have was written by Sir John Elliot MD. A different Dr John Elliot to the one who tried to assassinate my ancestor. Same era. Different person. Hope this helps.
