, homophobic, and bullies people in our circle regularly.  He "exclusively dates" multiple women at once, not to mention the occasional unprotected one night stands with strangers. We try to warn them off but no one ever believes us compared to him.

Sophomore year of college he manages to get elected class president after convincing someone to come up with a platform for him. He is down from his usual tally of 3-4 "girlfriends" to just 2. He is fairly serious with both of them, after dating them for 3-4 months. He is also lying to his professors about the difficulty of his course-load and getting constant extensions. In most cases he didn't have to turn in any work for months. Some teachers extended deadlines until the end of the semester. He was a real sweet-talker.

He goes out drinking with his frat buddies one too many nights towards the end of the semester, and in a drunken mistake accidentally brings GF#1 to a popular bar near campus on a weekend night. GF#2's friends see him there with her, and tell GF#2.  Recognizing that he is a manipulative cheating bastard, GF#2 approaches GF#1 and they talk it out. They both leave him. He didn't stop calling GF#2  and crying on her voicemail for 6 months after it ended.

Finals come up at this same time, he says he has no problems and even manages to make fun of our grades. Then he confesses to one of our friends on Wednesday that he has to write 80 pages worth of papers from all his different classes by Friday. A 10 page paper here, a 15 pager there, it all adds up when all of your "extensions" end on the last day of Finals and you are out getting drunk with your buddies.

Obviously he tanked all of his finals because he was writing papers, practically none of which he finished or turned in. Since he had failed his finals and had incompletes for the majority of assignments, he failed 3 of the 4 classes he was taking.

He lost his spot as class president, was dumped by both of his girlfriends, and he dropped out of school to go live with his parents for a year to earn back all the money they put toward his tuition. He's back in school and better now, which is good. I just hope he doesn't forget that lesson anytime soon.

TL;DR: Charismatic douchebag/pathological liar forced to resign his position as class president, get dumped by multiple girlfriends, and drop out to go live with his parents.In 2 months I’m going to be a father.
While I’ve known this for some time now, occasionally it will sink in and I literally pause whatever I’m doing and let it wash over me. Combined feelings of terror and joy hit me at the same time and I can’t help but shake my head and smile.
We get advice from everybody now. What to do. What NOT to do. The best ways to do this. The worst ways to do that. After several months now, we’ve come to the conclusion that most everyone probably has a point. Our burden, or rather what we choose to do with these nuggets of information, is entirely up to us. In general, we.re taking everything with a grain of salt.
We’re putting together a nursery. Our “home office” has morphed into this office/baby room that now has a crib, changing table, bookshelf and rocking chair all tucked beside our outdated IKEA desk and ever aging iMac. The walls are lilac and cream and our dark red (adult) curtains have been replaced with light green (child) billowing panels of cloth. All in all, it’s coming together pretty perfectly.
&gt;Isn't that obviously so that they don't drown?

I meant they don't carry any breathing aids down there.

&gt;So when do they exhale? Do they just hold all the air the whole time?

Yep, they hold the air the whole time. and exhale when back on the surface. For a couple reasons. First, there's still some oxygen left in the air even after much of it has been absorbed by the body during the dive, and you're better off keeping it than losing it. Second, the air in your lungs gives you positive buoyancy which helps with the ascent. You don't want to lose any positive buoyancy on the way up.

 The purpose is to get you into a calm, low-energy and well-oxygenated state. Best way to do it is lying flat on your back in the water. This allows the muscles to relax with your weight supported by the water, and also your chest is near the surface so it's not being compressed by water pressure.

Then you do the breathe-up, which consists of taking long, deep breaths. Slowly inhale, pause, then even more slowly exhale, pause, repeat. This has the effect of slowing down your breathing and helps you calm down. Also, the heart rate naturally drops during exhalations, so prolonged exhalations also help slow your heart down. 

You do this until you are calm and relaxed, and then you take your final breath to get as much oxygen in the lungs as possible. First exhale, squeezing out as much air from your lungs as possible. Contract your stomach muscles to push up the diaphragm and get even more air out. Then do the inhalation in 3 steps, starting with the stomach. Keep your chest still and inhale with the diaphragm only, expanding the stomach to move the diaphragm down. Then hold the stomach muscles still and expand your rib cage maximally to fill the upper part of the lungs. Finally, open your mouth wide and try to fill the uppermost part of the respiratory tract, throat, larynx, mouth.

Ideally, you should only do this once, just before you dive. But you may have to do it twice if you aren't happy with the results the first time. Never more than twice, because that leads to hyperventilation. If you can't get it right in two attempts, go back to the breathe-up and try again in a couple minutes.

Once you finish the dive, you go into recovery breathing. On reaching the top, open your mouth and exhale just enough air to relieve the pressure in your lungs, then inhale as deeply as you can. Hold for a second, then exhale passively (without straining your muscles). Repeat this process for at least 30 seconds to a minute, after which you can start breathing as you normally do.Would you like to make money on stock trading, but do not have the knowledge and experience to do this?

Re: burning a video file to disk with windows 8.1.
I guess what I want to do is convert with a standard video format. I do a lot of lecturing, and I want to use video files. And I need to make one correction to my first email. I do not have a picture on the file I downloaded. Here is what I did. I found the file I want on YouTube.
I ran it, and while it was running, I copied the address to my address bar.
I then closed YouTube and went to free make.
Subject: Re: [TechTalk] burning a video file to disk with windows 8.1.
Do you want to burn the video file to a standard data disc or do you want to convert it to the DVD format to create a disc playable on standalone DVD players? Technically even though the latter is also a data disc, there is still a difference. And to confuse the issue even further, there are now many DVD players which will play video files burned to a standard data disc without
