I can get it. Fishbein and Ajzen?

Couscous or noodles take no time at all to cook, you just need to find something which makes them less bland. Luckily there's absolutely tons of things you could add, it's just a matter of personal preference.

Hmm, it's a strange one. Is a strike a withdrawal of work, or a protest? If it's only a withdrawal of work it really doesn't apply to us, no-one notices when we withdraw work anyway. If it's a protest, I see nothing wrong with protesting for a while and then getting on with your work. It's kinda pathetic....but that's what PhD students are!

Personally, I would occupy a nearby building until they got what they want. I don't know what building......maybe the Union bar. :-)

As for the general debate about strikes and Unions, I say we should have more of them. If those in power ain't willing to play Arsenal-style ball, we'll play Bolton-style ball.

Where's the option for three? Spread over a long time (i.e. a beer an hour+) it doesn't have a significant effect.

I have three:
1. Go to gym 3 times
2. Continue rehab of my shoulders/buy some light dumbells
3. Enjoy St. Patrick's day (this would normally be play football, but drinking takes precendence.)

Submit your thesis and then send the other guy your revised copy and say that you realise the value of his input but that you didn't have much time before you need to submit.

Also, what do you need from this other prof? Are you staying on for a PhD there, do you need a reference from him? If not, don't worry too much. Academics are used to being ignored/ignoring.

Yay! Thank you. Amazingly simple, yet I would have never figured it out.

Sneaks: I have a pretty similar problem when it comes to running. Once, when I went jogging with my sister, I ended up sprinting, stopping, waiting for her to catch up, then sprinting again. I imagine including a bit of a walk would be better tan stopping though.

PS: I realise you would look foolish to any bystander.

Hello, I've got a question for you wonderful people.:-) I'm trying to quote a statement made by Obama that I found on a certified pdf made by the US Government Printing Office. The US GPO is technically the author and I would like to put them as the author, but my reference style means that if I put US Government Printing Office the author is cited as "Office, 2010 [online]". Is there any way to make it realise that the GPO isn't a traditional style author so that it displays "Government Printing Office, 2010 [online]"?

I know this seems a small thing with quite a few easy solutions (i.e. call it GPO) but I think it may come in handy to know if its possible in the future.
Cheers(sprout)

PS: I'm now in love with Google. Let's ignore Google Scholar's tie-in with Crossref and capacity to import into Endnote for a sec and marvel at the fact that they have made a search engine that only goes through US government websites. For someone researching US domestic policy it is like nirvana (you know, seeing them when Kurt was still alive.)

Oh dear sweet lord. Just went to the gym for the first time in quite a while and went at it like I used to. My body can't stop shaking from the adrenal it took to maintain a level of exercise that would have been effortless a couple of years ago.

1 gym session down, many more to go before I go to Thailand next year (my sister's getting married there.)

Thanks Keep_Calm for explaining, although it seems to me you guys use a theoretical framework instead of a methodology.

Anyhow I have another question :-): what do you guys do about referencing? How does it work, do you like quote lines or, say, reference particular parts of movies (e.g. the scene at 1:03:24-1:05:34)?
