I was wondering if any of you have run across any websites with screencasts of Ivy League lectures. The Berkeley website has two years worth of their lectures, I'm looking for something with good history or astronomy lectures, preferably from somewhere like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, any of the top 25.
Ivy League Lectures Online?
If you're looking for astronomy, you can't go wrong with Berkeley. They have one of the top astronomy programs in the country - in the top three with Harvard and CalTech.

What does Poison-Ivy (the plant) Symbolize to you?
To me Poison-Ivy symbolize the powers of death as well as life.
Poison-Ivy is a fragile, delicate, plant that lives to grow just like anything else, yet everyone is afraid of it. Once cut down it just keeps growing up until the source it destroyed (but who is daring enough to go near it). It can cause death, but it provides life for animals in the winter and to us as it photosysthesis to produce oxygen. It protects itself (with Urushiol oil) and keeps climbing until it reaches the top no matter what. Making it a fighting in my book what about you?

Itchiness
Reply:Itchy, itchy, itchy and it isn't fragile at all. It makes unsightly hairy vines that will also make you itch even if there are no leaves. I'm not afraid of it, it's a nuisance, and I need to wash after I've pulled it out. It competes with and strangles plants that are much more useful.
Reply:To me it symbolizes the minutiae of everyday life that we all have to deal with-intensely irritating but not life threatening ( I'm not sure where you got that-I've only heard of it causing one death-a smokejumper who breathed in smoke from burning ivy and it damaged his lungs severely)-impossible to rid yourself of entirely yet can be held at bay with constant vigilance and effort.
How do you like me now?
Reply:Poison Ivy is green. Green is the color of growth and has come to symbolize prosperity. Since it usually does grow up like anyother plant and doesn't stop growing I would say that its like a life symbol.
And girl who wrote how you like me now? I don't....plain and simple....Obviously your thinking very self centered because it can kill animals and humans eat it and who breath it. OBVIOUSLY its it can be deadly which it clearly says "IT CAN CAUSE DEATH" you even said it yourself about that guy dying from it. Think before you type. It pisses me off to no limits when I see people who think they know it all!!
Peace!
Reply:Your description of it was beautiful. Almost like the "Black Widow Spider", fascinating but lethal. When I think of poison Ivy (and poison Oak) I think of endless itching, blisters, cortisone shots and calamine lotion.
I try to give it respect and wide berth. Even when I try to avoid it, somehow it finds me.

Ivy league girl likes blue collar guys but it's impossible. help?
I have never really been attracted to the guys who I went to school with (an Ivy league school) and I don't really like that whole "culture" and attitude. The problem is, every time I try to date a "jock" type or an average joe kind of guy (who I am attracted to) they seem to be turned off by the fact I have a degree from Harvard %26amp; some of the work I have done. People say "oh honey they're just intimidated - don't worry - find someone who likes you for you-- " well enough already! The people that tend to like me for me are people that I am simply not interested in. I don't want to marry a doctor / lawyer / professor (which already makes me a freak to some people) - but no construction worker or a cop wants to go near me (except for 1 nighters). What am I supposed to do here? And, am I completely insane?
Ivy league girl likes blue collar guys but it's impossible. help?
How are you reacting to the blue collar guys. Are you going head first as soon as you meet them. If so take your time and play hard to get. Make it a challenge, we(blue collar workers) love a challenge, we have to know you are interested as well. Maybe leave the whole harvard thing out of the scenario, and just talk about little things save the smarts for when things progress maybe they wont be intimidated when they know you personally. I know I wouldn't. Hope I helped, at least a little.
Reply:Some men are intimidated by women who make more money than they do. That is especially true of blue collar men, who may be a bit insecure about their status anyway. Those who aren't intimidated will often assume that a woman like you wouldn't give them the time of day, and they won't consider you for that reason.
Also, look at it from a practical standpoint. I don't know how much money you're making, but let's say it's around $100,000 a year. A man who earns $20,000 a year might feel kind of silly even bothering to show up for work, if he was married to a woman who made that kind of money. Assuming you want kids, the most ideal prospect might be a guy who wants to do the Mr Mom thing, and take care of the kids, while you earn the money.
I'm not going to propose to you myself, based solely on a question you posed on the Internet, but I see nothing in your post that would cause me to rule you out either. There might be any number of reason why we wouldn't be right for each other, but if I'm game, a lot of other guys probably are too. It's just a matter of finding them, and the Internet is a great way to do it.
Even if, after looking at my profile, you would immediately rule me out as a prospect, email me anyway. I think we could have some interesting discussions.
Reply:Be the flame and not the moth.
First don't advertise it like a hotel sign. Let the guy get to know the rest of you and go from there.
Just because their blue collar doesn't make them stupid either. I have my degree.
Personally I'm Military my wife is far more educated than me which doesn't matter at all to me. We were attracted to each other for other reasons.
Reply:I went to a world known school and I'm black. Thing is, my mom wants me to marry a black man "on my level" in terms of education, socioeconomic background and all of that. Thing is, I've dated them and they are arrogant as a %26lt;insert negative word here%26gt;. They know they are a rarity since they are neither in jail or only have h.s. diplomas. They know it and from my experience they act like it. For me, there are more professional level and successful black women out there then men - so if you want to compete the men have a lot to choose from. Me, I'm very much into my goals and career. I want a partner who'd more into me than their job. So in reality I don't even want a man super into his career and all of that. I want my career to come first. I want him to be willing to spend more time with the kids, I want a man not into strict gender roles, but what's best for our family. I date outside of my race and socioeconomic background to my mothers stress and for me - with hopes of happiness. The man who's not professionally 'all that' will be proud of what you've done and even brag about what an awesome and smart woman he has. He'll respect your advice and accept you as you accept and respect him for what he brings into the relationship - not necessarily to your bank account. I don't tell guys about my house or details about what I've done and my education on a first or even second date. Get a feel for the guy and hold back on those things until you really think he's into you for you. It will help him get out stuff if he already likes you a lot and is comfortable with you. Telling him off the bat - he may leave because he thinks you can never take him seriously or that yes, he is intimidated. The type of guys I date...I let them pay for things and always..always let them help me if they ask and I think they can do it (even if I can do it for myself). It makes him feel that in many ways I need him to and that he can still add to the relationship. Good Luck!
Reply:oh hmm...well i'm not intimidated. i'm stupid as a brick, and i'd rely on someone like you to explain the world to me! you'd be like the little birds to my rhino. marry me?
Reply:Honestly, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, I'm only going to Tech School for Security Systems. But I'd wouldn't be turned off by someone such as you, in fact, intelligent women who aren't all mature and have no sense of simplicity and the slapstick humor of some things, are very hard to come by around here; though I am mature, I can be quite the spaz sometimes.
You're time will come, just be patient and wait; concentrate on your world first, and then sooner or later somebody will walk right into it, and distract you.
Reply:girl give it time as there is a guy out there for you and you'll find him when you are least looking for him
Reply:No, you're not insane, but you might want to tone down your pedigree a bit. Let a person get to know you before you haul out the Harvard degree, and list of accomplishments; I think you'll have better luck at attracting the kind of guy you want. Good luck!
Reply:dang, i would date you, just those guys aren't right, you are probably a beautiful and intelligent woman, and the guys are probably just some dumb jocks, find somebody who is average yet has some intelligence, or somebody willing to learn more, he will love you and you will love him
Reply:I know I think how you feel. I can relate. One thing I tried to be with blue colar, - trust me it is not easy, they have diffrent mentality and after awhile I couldn't take etheir. I theink problem is that both kind are two onesided for me. So, I realize I am looking for balanced people, - not focused professional or laid-back blue colar but someone have normal balance and living his life based on what makes him tick not outside stuff or have no direction at all

If I took out poison ivy plants but didn't get all of the roots out of the ground, will they grow back?
We had record rainfall this year and I have more poison ivy than ever before! I dug up about 20 plants yesterday, but I live in the Texas hillcountry and we don't really have dirt, its mostly rock and oak tree roots in the ground, so I couldn't really get all the poison ivy roots out of that. Will they grow back or will the damage just kill the plants?
(I didn't use a spray because I have a dog that eats poison ivy and I don't want her to get sick.)
If I took out poison ivy plants but didn't get all of the roots out of the ground, will they grow back?
Sorry, but "Yes"... they will grow back unless the root is removed...
Reply:Another pet friendly idea is to pour boiling water on the roots...it kills almost anything.
Reply:odd dog you have there. i dont believe you killed them , when they do come back poor a bunch of table salt on them . no poison and no more poison ivy!
Reply:Oh yes they will.
Reply:The salt is a good idea. Another thing you could do in the future is spray Roundup on an area of the plant the dog cannot get to. Like if the ivy has grown up a tree. The Roundup travels to the root system and kills the entire plant. I dont know for sure.... but I dont think the dog would be hurt that way.

Is it Poison Ivy?
Ok, so yesterday i was in the woods with my friend and there was alot of poison ivy around. We were trying to be careful not to touch it. But last night, my hand starting itching (on my palm) and there was something that looked like a bugbite in the middle, so i just left it alone. but then, a few other little bumps started appearing around it. My hand is really itchy now. Does anyone know if its poison ivy? i woudn't know because i have never had it. Also, do you know any itch creams that work really good?
Is it Poison Ivy?
It most likely is, what you should do in the future, is take rubbing alcohol to prevent to oils from spreading.. please know that once the oils has been washed off (you showering) it isnt contagious. to help with the itch use Caladryl CLEAR
please know, if you dont shower or use alcohol and scratch it, it will spread...
only sleep with a sheet
Reply:Yes it sounds like Poison ivy, I take benadryl and I put hydrocordazone cream on it. Oh yeah if you went to bed after being outside without a shower your sheets need to washed. The oils from the poison ivy will get on your sheets and make it spread when you sleep.
