Those who spent more time updating their profile on the social networking site were more likely to be narcissists, said researchers.

Facebook provides an ideal setting for narcissists to monitor their appearance and how many ‘friends’ they have, the study said, as it allows them to thrive on ‘shallow’ relationships while avoiding genuine warmth and empathy.

They also tend to use the site for promoting themselves to friends or people they would like to meet, the study concluded.

Researcher Soraya Mehdizadeh from York University in Canada asked 100 students, 50 male and 50 female, aged between 18 and 25 about their Facebook habits.

They all took psychology tests to measure their levels of narcissism, which the study defined as ‘a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and an exaggerated sense of self-importance’.

Those who scored higher on the narcissism test checked their Facebook pages more often each day than those who did not.

There was also a difference between men and women – men generally promoted themselves by written posts on their Facebook page while women tended to carefully select the pictures in their profile.


The findings, published in the journal Cyberpsychology, Behaviour And Social Networking, also suggested that those with low self-esteem also checked their Facebook pages more regularly than normal.

Chambers & Dacey is not a through intersection, or am I wrong. Doesn't Chambers end at Dacey Road?

The car on Dacey would have had the right of way when turning, since the Chambers vehicle would have been at a STOP SIGN.

In grade school I got exempted from French because I was identified with learning disabilities. I have since found out that I do not, and would like to learn the language. Does anyone know where I can go to pick it up? I would obviously like to see if there are any free agencies/places that can teach high school level for free, but am willing to pay for it. I would like to eventually teach (to start) in Northern Ontario, so I think it would be helpful. The University's French class (despite what I was told) assumes a high school level understanding of French which I do not have, in fact, I have zero French vocabulary.
Any advice or help would be awesome. ]]> The Soapbox dancingqueen http://www.soonet.ca/showthread.php?42112-beginner-French-classes The wild, wild west?? http://www.soonet.ca/showthread.php?42110-The-wild-wild-west&goto=newpost Wed, 08 Sep 2010 19:24:58 GMT From the Calgary Sun: http://www.calgarysun.com/news/alberta/2010/09/07/15274506.html ---Quote--- Eilish Lemieux, a spokeswoman for the...

Quote:
Eilish Lemieux, a spokeswoman for the Solicitor General and Public Security, said RCMP and Alberta Traffic Sheriffs doled out nearly 4,000 charges province-wide for violations ranging from speeding to impaired driving.
The majority of the total infractions were speeders with “quite a few” driving more than 50 km/h over the limit, which warrants an automatic court appearance, said Lemieux.
There were also 99 seatbelt and child restraint infractions and 64 impaired driving charges plus 19 24-hour suspensions, according to the Solicitor General’s office.

Ontario's stats:

Quote:
During the Long weekend initiative which began on Friday September 3, 2010 and ended on Monday September 6, 2010 OPP officers laid 115 impaired driving charges as well as 5,763 speeding, 470 seatbelt and 64 stunt driving charges.
Ontario has a population of 13.1 million, Alberta 3.7 million. Any Soonet posters who are math wizards who can figure out %-wise which province wracked up the worst totals?
