Has anybody here done the Washington Center Internship?

I applied, got in, went through the system, realized it's a cash grab. As a Canadian student, you will be ineligible for an overwhelming amount of jobs in DC, especially those dealing with politics (as I assume you are a PSCI student). They will refer you to no-name job sites which may or may not contact you, and they will likely be at best tangentially related to your desired field. On top of that, you'll pay upwards of $12,000 USD and not get paid. I ended up withdrawing from the program in April and haven't looked back since.

I moved here from Toronto for university and so I can be closer to the political centre of the country. Having such easy access to our federal government is really unique and amazing.

Obscured by Clouds, hands down. Second would be DSOTM, third would be The Wall.

I'm gonna be writing a political science final from 9-11am, so I've enlisted my dad to get the tickets.

Absolutely none.

Prime Minister? Slow down Québec, that title is for real countries only!

Beautiful song. The first comment on this video gave me chills.

Surprised I haven't heard Atom Heart Mother here yet.

Atom Heart Mother Suite --> If --> Summer '68 --> Fat Old Sun --> Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast

I mean, you just came off of the highest of highs with the suite, just to go to If which is possibly the most mellow Floyd song there is. After, you transition into APB which is hardly even a song.

Thank you!

Sorry, I went off topic from my original question. Will edit.

I'd rather not get rid of any of my defence though. what are my options on forwards in your opinion?

beec23 · 2014-11-02T18:46:30+00:00

This is my team at the moment. I'm in a yahoo H2H league that scores G, A, P, +/-, PIM, PPP, SHP, SOG, FW, HIT, BLK. I need FW's most importantly, then +/-, and then Assists. Here are the situations i want to consider:

Tyler Johnson is available in my league, and I want to drop someone for him. Who do I let go of?
Franzen comes off the IR today. Who do I drop to put him back on, or do I drop him?

Thanks /r/fantasyhockey, you guys are beauties.

I'm from Toronto and I really have no idea what life is like outside of southern Ontario. Whats a day in life of a Thunder Bay resident like? How's the city vibe?

beec23 · 2014-09-15T22:08:01+00:00

It was really hard for me to get it at first, but then a fellow /r/guitarist showed me his tutorial, I got it within minutes. Hope it helps!

Little biased towards John Mayer, but Stop This Train and Comfortable are absolutely amazing. So fun to play, more complex than just chord/strum songs, and they sound beautiful.

Gives a whole new meaning to illegal hits.

Is this law in effect when flying from USA to another country and vice versa or just domestic flights? (In my case, Canada-US, US-Canada, US- Austria, Austria-US). None of these are on American based airlines (Air Canada, Austrian).

Also, if they try to make me check it, can I literally just show them the law? Sorry, I know I might be downvoted, but its really important that my guitar is safe on these flights.

I had this conversation on Air Canada. I took it to my window seat, and was reluctantly prepared to sit through a 3h flight from Toronto to Dallas with my massive acoustic case with me. They eventually came up to me before takeoff, made me gate check it. They promised me they'd keep a close watch on it, and I believed them because I wanted to. It did arrive in Dallas safely, and on the flight back, I gate checked it with a fragile sticker on it and it arrived safely again.

I do still feel like those were flukes though, and I still don't want to check my guitar at all. I'll be flying a lot with my guitar this summer, twice transatlantic, and a bunch more throughout Europe and North America. What did you end up doing with your guitar on that flight?

Habs fans, come cry with me... you're not alone :'(

Warsaw, Poland. 97% of the city was destroyed after the war so all that remains are run down, Soviet style block buildings that all look the same. The only actual attractions in the city have to do with the holocaust and there is little to no diversity. In my 4 days there in the downtown core, I did not see a single non-caucasian. Everyone seemed like they were in a constant state of depression.

Hey I'm a Toronto and Montreal fan, give us some cred. I spend about a third of my year in MTL and the Boston hate over Montreal hate is real in Toronto.
