Ok I need help desperately! I live in Oklahoma, attending bartending school and I am at the end of my two weeks. I passed my Mid term and Final all written of course. NOW I have to take a speed final of 12 drinks in 7 minutes. I have studied my *** off and I have done quite a few practice speed finals. But it seems that either the drinks I am iffy on get called or I get them all perfect but missing the mark by just a bit timewise. I am a firm believer that bartending is not just about speed. Its about quality and taste. Who cares if you can pump out 12 drinks in 7 minutes?! Does it taste good? Are they coming back for more cause it does? I just need help. I don't want to label it as cheating, maybe just assisting or helping. But is there a particular list of drinks that is used for this speed final that I can get from you and / or anyone else so that the drinks can be narrowed down? I have literally been taught over 225 drinks in 10 days! And I need a job asap, my bills are so far behind and I want to start working and learning first hand as soon as possible. But I can't seem to get by the speed final. The association that I am under is ABLE, and the school I believe is associated with Texas school of bartenders ( I dont know if that helps) so if you have any info you can give me on this I would so greatly appreciate it.
Thank you so much!

Yes the let me do free pouring. I am not sure anyone understands. I guess I am being lazy but honestly I dont want to overload my brain with recipes that I am never going to use or that are wrong.
WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR:
I have seen my instructor give a few of these speed tests and I even took two practice ones. All of which we read off of this one sheet. So I am guessing it is the cuiriculum speed test sheet. It has like 5-6 groupings of drinks. I rather memorize 60-72 drinks that I most likely will not use than over 200!! That is my problem.

So I want to get a big fish tank some day and have Oranda's or other fancy tails. Right now I have a red cap oranda in a tank just for him. How would I go about starting a new tank and introducing him to it someday, and then how should I go about adding more fish? I'm guessing if I get a tank in the 30-50 gallon range I should only get a few more fish? My thinking right now on how to add fish would be to do so one at a time. Move the little dude into the new tank, get another one and add him to the old tank for quarantine, and then once he looks OK and healthy add him to the new tank, and then get a another little dude and start all over again? I don't want to get a super huge tank b/c we may be moving after only a few years. Also, I def want a tank from the Biowheel series because he is in one now and it is FANTASTIC! I'll be on a budget so I'm not looking to buy any more tanks for the purpose of quarantining (the one I have now is not big enough for more than one fish at a time).

Promoting Better Health Care instead of prescription drugs. For example: Lunestra--helps you sleep through the night? Commercial asks if you can't stay asleep; if you toss and turn and can't go back to sleep?
Why aren't there any Public Health Ads educating people to exercise more, eat better to sleep better or be more fit? Especially since obesity is now a national epidemic, for example.
FDA could do ads. Why don't they?

I started dating my current boyfriend on Thursday. On Friday he came up behind me 3 times that morning and hugged me. Then Friday afternoon he kissed me on the cheek, then a few minutes later he kissed my hand, then a few more minutes later he kissed my forehead. I talked to him for almost and hour Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. my bff says we skipped some stuff like dates n holding hands,etc & that maybe we should slow down. do u agree or not? why?

Lets get one thing straight, i have no problem with religious people, i respect their views, i simply wish to know if there are others out there who want to cry every time they hear self-righteous preaching.

I was at church a short while ago - not out of choice, it was for a christening - and it was the single most depressing experience of my life, people there for the service that is, wasting several hours of their life every week, in what i can only see as a selfish attempt to get away with the bad stuff theyve done (be forgiven for sinning) and get into heaven... and i jsut cant help but feel like there is something wrong with us humans as a race, if we feel the need to get one over on each other, even after we are dead.

Right, bet thats got some of you sparked up for some religious debating/slagging.

Look at the size of some of these mega churches and the amount of money they bring in. It seems to me from what I see they have just figured out a way to use the system. Look at the lifestyle these pastors live. Isn't there anyone to keep them accountable?

It got good reviews, it's a blast to go to, especially for the horror/suspense crowd, and you certainly get a lot of entertainment for your buck (2 movies in one!). Just because I enjoyed it doesn't mean that it's everybody's cup of tea (my wife would HATE it), but I didn't think it would tank THIS badly. . . .your thoughts??

Okay so i have this one problem that i've been getting stuck on for a while now:

tan^2x - sin^2x = tan^2xsin^2x

Where: ^ means power

Notice: The left part is subtracting, the right part is multiplying

If anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it being solved from the left side, i've done my other problems from this side and just like consistency in my work. I'll try it also, and perhaps we could get the same answer.

Thank you for your time.
