Sometimes you'll only want results that include an exact phrase. In this case, simply put quotation marks around your search terms. E.g. "cool video games"
If your search term has more than one meaning (bass, for example, could refer to fishing or music) you can focus your search by putting a minus sign ("-") in front of words related to the meaning you want to avoid. For example, here's how you'd find pages about bass-heavy lakes, but not bass-heavy music: bass -music
Serious props to all the Wiccans who come out here and say it. I myself am atheist but ex-Wiccan. I disagreed with more than I agreed, so I chose to take my practices and beliefs as a secular philosophy instead of religion. But seriously, I LOVE all world religions. Christianity bothers me, but it has good ideas. Islam is beautiful but misunderstood in the West and misused in the East. I have to agree with Taoism and Wicca the most though.

Anybody there? Surviving the winter? Im right in the 2010 blizzard area, and the snow is finally starting to melt. How is everybody doing?

Without books, God is silent, justice dormant, natural science at a stand, philosophy lame, letters dumb, and all things involved in darkness.
When we are collecting books,
We are collecting happiness.
Where is human nature so weak as
In the bookstore?
I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.
Build yourself a book-nest to forget the world without.
An ordinary man can...surround himself with two thousand books...and thenceforward have at least one place in the world in which it is possible to be happy.
Any man with a moderate income can afford to buy more books than he can read in a lifetime.
There are 10,000 books in my library, and it will keep growing until I die. This has exasperated my daughters, amused my friends, and baffled my accountant. If I had not picked up this habit in the library long ago, I would have more money in the bank today; I would not be richer.
If a book is worth reading, it is worth buying,
A classic is a book that has never finished saying what it has to say.
When you reread a classic you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in you than was there before.
No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally (and often far more) worth reading at the age of fifty and beyond.
When I get a little money, I buy books; and if there is any left I buy food and clothes.
Never read a book through merely because you have begun it.
Just the knowledge that a good book is waiting one at the end of the day makes that day happier
Right here with you, Lyon. We had a storm yesterday, no school. : ) I love snow days on Fridays, it means no weekend homework. Except for the stuff I didn't do on Thursday, meaning 19 math problems and an Italian sheet.
I'm doing good, just hanging out. In roughly an hour I'm going to Parisi, this place where I'm doing this work out school thingy through the lacrosse department... but then I have riding! Yay!

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been on in a while. College has been keeping me really busy for the past few weeks, since it's been midterms for about that long (seriously, why do the call the things "midterms" when you take them three weeks before the end of a 10-week quarter, or two of them in a quarter? Makes no sense...), and I've got finals coming up in another two weeks. But at least I got to register for my classes next quarter this morning! And I'm really excited about one of the classes I got into--it's called "Celtic Civilizations of the European Middle Ages". I can't wait to get started! I even managed to get into a writing class that's linked to it, which means that we'll be writing papers and stuff about what we're learning in my Celtic Civilizations class. The only downside is that I had to get up at 5:30 this morning so I could get all my registration stuff set up before registration itself opened at 5:55... >.< I think I might be coming down with something, too, since I've got two rather swollen lymph nodes and a stiff neck. Ugh. I really don't need to get sick right now. I'm too busy.
Oh, and here's an interesting fact of the day: today marks the 318th anniversary of the beginning of the Salem witch trials.

Hehe. *loves middle school--no midterms*
That sounds like a really cool class! I must admit, though, I've always found I enjoy studying Ancient Greece and Rome more than Europe. I'm an expert at Greek Mythology, and the lifestyle was fascinating as well. Not to mention one of my favorite book series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, has a lot to do with Greek Mythology. In fact, the series is centered around it.
I'll pray for you Tek, if I remember... I've been really spacey for the past while. Spacey, with songs from Wicked stuck in my head. Wicked was an amazing musical, by the way. Have any of you seen it?
On another note... for a S.S. project I have to do research on the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, and the social studies teacher that's doing my project (there were two--the TSFF and the San Francisco earthquake of some time) brought up a list of victims from the fire... it was depressingly long. There was this one name that stuck with me, Rose Oringer. She was my age. I've taken her and I'm going to make her the heroine of a story. In fact, I used her for my English homework. I had to create a new best friend for Dom from The King of Mulberry Street. I used Rose's name, and gave her the nickname "Ringo".
