From pizza day in the school cafeteria to pizza parties at sleep away camp, there was nothing more exciting than when that cardboard box was opened to reveal a round pie with eight delicious slices waiting to be devoured. Early on I learned that everybody eats their pizza differently. There are those who fold their slices in half, those who eat their slices with two hands, and those who (dare I say) like to cut their pizza with a fork and knife. Some people soak up the olive oil with a napkin, while others don’t mind a greasy slice. Some people like the crust, while others live for that first bite. Some people decorate their slices with spices, while others like it plain. Nearly any ingredient can be put on pizza. From pepperoni and anchovies to barbecue chicken and pineapple, every pizza pie is like a unique work of art. Every pie is a different shape and size. There are thin crust pies, deep dish pies, and everything in between. There are pies with different cheeses and tomato sauce, or even pies with a completely different base altogether. Growing up in the suburbs of Washington, DC there weren’t so many great options for pizza. Ordering in from Domino’s and Pizza Hut was a weekly......

...žrtvujemo u rasprave, sukobe, svađe u vezi sa tom neobičnom delatnošću? Pretpostavljam da ima više odgovora. Neko se prazni kroz posmatranje igre, izbacuje svoje dnevne frustracije, kod kuće i na poslu ga ne vole i ne poštuju, pa, bar, negde da bude svoj, jak, autoritativan; može da se nadgornjava, svađa i prepisuje po novinama, raspravlja po kafanama, objavljuje svoje misli na blogovima. Neko se kladi, i tako popravlja kućni budžet. Neko beži u snove, kao kad gleda film ili čita knjigu. Evo moj slučaj: ja, recimo, više volim da gledam loš fudbal nego loš film. Loš film nikad ne postaje bolji. A rđava ili osrednja utakmica može se pretvoriti u čudo. Dovoljan je jedan trenutak, nekoliko sekundi, čas, hip. Sednem, na primer, da gledam finale Lige šampiona, igraju Mančester i Čelsi, u Moskvi. Niti posebno volim jedne, niti druge. Ja sam, lično, voleo desnu nogu Dejvida Bekama. I levu nogu Dejvida Bekama, što bi rekao Hju Grant u božićnom remek-delu „Ustvari ljubav“. Ostale sam poštovao, Hjuza, Šeringema, naravno Skolsa, a razume se i Aleksa Fergusona. Poštovanje, to da. Ali, ne više od toga. I, povrh svega, pojavio se Arsenal, do Vengera sasvim nezanimljiv tim, od Vengera - tiha patnja svakoga ko misli da je fudbal umetnička forma. Odmah ću reći, za sve Fergusonove ili Ulijeove i Benitezove titule, Murinjove sisteme, za sve one što me ubeđuju kako „umiranje u lepoti“ nije smisao fudbala. Nego šta je smisao fudbala? Titule? Lova? Moć? Ne, smisao fudbala je u igri, a......

...“But never doubt I love” (2.2.119). Hamlet proclaims his feelings for Ophelia, assuring her that he will always love her. Hamlet gives Ophelia the mindstate that she should trust the love she receives.

She trusts her father’s judgement, but also wants to trust Hamlet’s love for her. Ophelia has very strong feelings and has put a lot of trust in Hamlet so when her father asks “Do you believe his tenders” (1.3.45-112). Ophelia...

...I love getting high. I need to. I do it almost everyday after school, to destress from my curricular activities and forget my problems. It started off slow, a little here a little there. 20 minutes a day turned into 30. 30 into 40, and all of the sudden I’m spending an hour higher than the debt ceiling in 2011. That’s only on the weekdays. If I don’t get high I feel terrible. Some nights, I can’t sleep and I have to escape the house to get wired. My mom tells me it’s getting in the way of school work. She’s probably right to some degree , but I do it anyways. I guess one could say I’m addicted. Indeed, I love to run. A year ago, I was in sad shape. I could barely run a mile without gasping for air. I avoided the mirror regularly,...

...Football Football is one of the coolest sports in my opinion, because i love to hit people and catch the football. I have been playing this sport since i was a little kid and every time i get on that field i always get a rush. I always get pumped up and ready to play one of the greatest sports out there, and I strive to give it my all the whole game. For this sport it takes a lot to compete, in this game you have to be really tough because you will have guys gunning at you all night wanting to take your head off and make sure you don't get back up. Football takes mental fitness to play this game also. If you play on the offencive side of the ball this is tested every game, because you have to know who your blocking and know where the play is going and you have to know what route to run if you are a wide receiver. If you are a wide receiver you have to know the snap count and make sure you don't jump and then you get a 15 yard penalty for jumping and your coaches will not be happy....

...When I first started to play softball I had no idea what I was doing. At first I didn’t really like but I still gave it a try; then I grew to love it. I always loved practicing and learning new things and getting better. When I wouldn’t be practicing I would watch the college softball leagues on television. I would always practice with my dad or my sister and we would have a fun time practicing. I liked being a part of a team and having something fun to focus on. I like softball because it always kept me distracted and gave me something positive to do. It created time for me to spend with my dad and sister. I have some great memories from our times practicing together. I liked it when I would have games because sometimes I would go watch the...

...Sophia Chau-Rubenfeld tells her story of how her mothers ”tough love” parenting methods raised her into a strong and independent girl who can make her own decisions. 18-year-old Chau-Rubenfeld thinks her rearing was good, and decided to write an official essay back to her mother, where she tells about how good it is to be raised by a so called tiger mom. She admits that her mum was very strict but that is only something she is very happy for to this very day. Text 2 "Let them eat pizza: Parenting guru's recipe for bringing up children" by Sdr. Bryan Caplan tells us a whole different point of view on the raising of children. Caplan claims, that children should be able to do whatever they want. He thinks that parents are trying too hard to raise their kids into succesfull adults. Text 3 In the ”Summerhill a radical approach to child rearing" by A.S. Neill is a General Policy Statement taken from the Summerhill School’s website. Neills opinion is like Dr.Bryan Caplans. He thinks that parents are pushing their children too much and have too high exspectations. He also talks about children’s creativity, which is hard to keep up, when all the other subjects at school fill up all the time. 2. How does A.S. Neill engage the reader in text 3? The General Policy statement is taken from the official website of Summerhill School. So it would be obviously a good thing to say positive things about the school: ”I would rather Summerhill produce a happy street sweeper than a......

...I'm gonna tell you about my favorite sport, baseball. I love this sport because of all the memories I have had with it.

...Agony Article What makes a relationship fresh? Hi my name is Sandra I come from a town close to Sheffield which is called Rotherham it’s a small town which can only hold a few thousands. I am aged 25 and I have recently met this Gentlemen aged 27 I have fell in love with him he was is so sweet to me and kind and I have always trusted him for the past few years he’s been miserable please tell me how to make him love me again? Imad Says: Take advantage of new technology; text and send e-cards. With so many of us pressed for time, why not use technology to “keep in touch” during the day. A compliment, an affection or a quick “Hello, You are being thought of” via text can spark anyone’s day. E-cards are fast, and convenient. There are many sites that allow you to send them for free. You can find any type of sentiment from cute and funny, to serious and romantic or teasingly sexy. The bonus is that you can include a personal message along with it if you’d like. Hold hands, hug and give quick kisses often. Nothing is as good for the soul and the emotional health of a person as the human touch. As teenagers, we hold hands, give quick kisses as hello and goodbye and cuddle as we sit close. Why not keep that sense of youth no matter how old we are or how long we have been have together as a couple? Holding hands keeps a connection and closeness, no matter what we are doing. An enthusiastic hug uplifts us; a quick kiss says “glad to see you”. You must convince your husband to take......

...then I’ll hug you as tight as I could and tell Death, “Let’s go. I’m ready!” 0102. I miss you not because you miss me but because you taught me how to feel the emptiness when you’re not here. I love you not because you love me but because you taught me everything I never knew existed before. 0103. When you leave, remember the place where you left me cause I’ll still be there waiting for you. But if you go back and I’m no longer there, it means that I love you too much so I went to search for you. 0104. It’s a risk having you cause it’s like stealing an angel from heaven. If I’d be punished for that, I’d rather accept it than give you back cause I know that I’d never have another you in my life again. 0105. I dreamed of a wedding of elaborate elegance, a church filled with flowers and friends. I asked him what kind of wedding he wished for, he said, “One that will make you my wife.” 0106. I’m not asking you to stay for the rest of my life, stay as long as you want. No why’s, no how’s, no but’s, no promises. Just stay. It’s more than enough. 0107. I’m not sure what I am to you and what we are right now but what really matters is you’re so damn special to me and I mean my life only for you. All I’m after is for you to know, you don’t have to feel the same. 0108. I may not be with you always but I promise you one thing. I’m gonna be there on your wedding day and I’m gonna sit beside you while saying the words, “Yes, Father. I do.” 0109. Written with......
