Don't think you will find help here... Most members here are in the UK.

Charlies' Angels... the movie... so much cheddar! :) Still watched it though.

This is a brilliant book.

I have not read the other one you mentioned. I am trying to look at positive and negative statements made about the algorithm I am evaluating and then trying to find out the reasons behind why the participants thought this. For instance if someone says "I think your thesis sucks!", then I would ask in the interviews "Why" and they would continue to say "Because xx doesn't really represent yy since zz is missing"... So I am looking for all the reasons why the participants thought my thesis sucks or my thesis rocks. I am building a cause-effect network using Alias.ti. Any idea what this method might be called?

What I applied for as a prospective doctoral candidate and what I am writing a thesis for at the moment are related areas but is not the same. So I think you will be ok with being general to an extent. However if you don't show interest in a specific area (not project but sub-area), then you risk looking like a candidate with no clear view.

Whoppeeee for us. :)

LOL Mia... I go for Tea in the night time. PG tips or Earl Grey. I always go for a tea if I go into an middle eastern restaurant. Peppermint tea... mmmmmmmm

I have a coffee machine but it is still in it's box from the last time I moved flats. I can't be bothered to take it out. Takes far too long to make the coffee and far too long to clean it afterwards. But I like the compressor type thing I have that you put hot water and coffee in, compress and presto... quick bursts of short-lived energy in a cup!

Which coffee (and Brand) do you keep by your desk?

My poison is cappuccino at university and instant or filtered coffee by Douwe Egberts (I like the bottle and the coffee)

I am sure it made sense in it's original context. It just sound like a lot of spanish at the moment. Drunken spanish!

Them, Here is love, friends, cosmic, of the wind, waters, earth and stars, presents in spirit, ubicuidad and virtually of astral traveller, thanks for his forums, cheer to me and I reflect much. However, desire to refer me to a concept that our natives handle of more beautiful form, sublimates, sagrada and power as it is "Love": Love does not become, (that is perogrullo and entelequia western), because the love feels, intensely, sex is sex, love is love, but sex with love and the love with sex are sublime, sacred, intense acts and power, that are constructed eternally, the real love never finishes. Love is conjugated in plural, is free, free and group, does not exist love without another subject of love, until with we ourself, because when we are in balance, our spiritual body (energy), psychic (reason) and physicist (heart), they are loved and they been in perfect harmony (nirvana), loving us us cultivates with the love to the fellow and all our subject beings of love. Love is a molecule, a point of energy, that when feeling it cannot be defined, single feels frees, plural, spontaneously and innocently.

Translation for Mitizú's essay according to babelfish. Not that I understand it now :-)

I don't know if I am drunk enough to participate in an orgy. No offense. Mind you if I ever decide I want to then it would be with other PhD students after several flaming sambucas I am sure!

I have never tried a flaming sambuca. I have wanted to but I am to chicken!

See I did not mean it as abuse towards you, Stu. Why would I abuse someone I did not know out of the blue. I put it down to the wonders of writting something and meaning something quite different.

Ah well.. let's have a game of pool instead.

I just came back from Spain after visiting a university there. It is everywhere over there. Plus I can't drink anything that smells of alcohol... so only vodka-based drinks and baileys so far until I found cava and orange juice.
