Very nice, Chase! Last night I broke the 5150 +rep received mark. This morning I broke the 2000 post mark. Collectively, this broke the maxed out 150 rep power mark! Thank you so much to everyone for bringing me here!

Very cool (but it's YOU who did it, not those of us who repped you for those great answers) - I'm a couple of points from 100 myself. We need to be more careful than ever at who we rep, because we want to be sure we don't provide badges to people who haven't proven they're deserved because of just one or two good posts. I've seen such cases and it's not only disturbing to see, but also sends the wrong message to posters who rely on that to a degree to gauge the veracity of the answer or suggestion.

After Guru, it's not such an issue, but I recently saw a member with mediocre skills (who made quite a few unsatisfactory and even downright wrong replies and I got in the habit of reviewing all his answers in threads he didn't start himself by checking his profile on a daily basis and fixing things after him) reach a level way beyond his abilities (and that was just Power User but still too high for him) - but he's gone now so that's no longer an issue.

All I want to say is we want the badges (and the rep) to mean something, so we need to be careful when we get to the higher rep values. Then again, I know some who deserve more rep than they have and wish I could help more.

Yes, I am not one for repping very much any more. I don't even (sometimes) +rep the very senior members as much as I could do (I know of more senior members than the limit and I could just circle round them, repping the days limit each time, but I also want gold pips and medals to mean something. I only rep the senior members for really good posts, and occasionally, which is fair enough. I also don't want too many skilled members, because it seems to me that once you have got the Skilled badge, they are more likely to get some more badges. Anyway, remember that guy (fortunately with no badges) with 11 posts, and every single one was incorrect! Corrected some of his, rich got a few, you got a few, and then he got board with helping others! The though of helping others was nice, but still!

Today I woke up extremely tired...

The thing is, last night I went to sleep early.

It seems eveyrtime I go to sleep early I wake up more tired than I would if I went ot bed late. lol.

People sleep in cycles; deep sleep and light sleep. You have to adjust your time to wake up during light sleep. If you wake up in deep sleep you will be tired.

Interesting. Thanks, I'll have to do a little research on this.

So I would guess that anything longer than 8 hours would probably be deep sleep?

 

[richc46]

During sleep everyone goes through many periods of deep sleep and light sleep. If you go to bed at the same time everynight, these sequence will be approximately at the same time. If you go to bed at 11 and wake up at 6 feeling good, this should always work. Some exceptions are going to bed very tired, drunk etc.

Alright. Seems like I need to find out what my schedule is.

Thanks again.

GCSE's Aren't the Biggest things in the world

They baiscally show the Goverment how well the school has done if you fail some then Don't Worry there are ways around them

For Example - 1 year or 2 in College or Sixth Form but you have a Few Year in you before you pass away so I am sure you aren't in any Rush to get a Job

Lol, but, if you're like me, they are
But, really, for the course I applied for at college I need 5 A*-C's including Maths English, so I think I'll be okay. (yn)
Thanks though.

I think when I post this I will have broken the 700 post mark - not quite half way to the Gold Member badge but not bad for only two months here. Not as impressive as many others here, but I haven't been here all that long yet - and I'm happy at the progress.

Are you kidding Lorien? That's very impressive. And you're really helping out a lot of folks as well, so keep up the good work!

I agree with Sue Lorien FOR THE WIN :D

And you're not so shabby yourself, Josh. Look at all the points you have, and all the help you've given too!

What is a GSCE? Is it like the SAT's in America (tests used to determine your skills and used heavily to determine which college if any will accept you - but never asked for in terms of jobs) or more like the GED's (sort of replacements for a High School Diploma for people who drop out early and need proof they "completed high school" - but there you either have one or don't - you just keep trying until you pass and then you have it and nobody knows how many times you tried or what your scores were)? What does failing them REALLY mean? Can you take them again (and show only the passing ones) or do the fails stick with you forever even if you can and do retake and pass them? Does failing them really set you back as much as Shadow suggests (which seems pretty severe to me and I suppose i'd be worried if those were the consequences)?

A GCSE Stands for - General Certificate of Secondary Education,

It is the same as what you call as SATs Yes you can retake them but you have to pay (First Time is Free) Also it does stay with you but can be "Erased" If you take it again and get a better Grade

They are essential for Getting a Job at certain Places but you can work around them to get the Same Job it will Just cost you a lot of time

Hope This Helps,
Josh
