If you and your gf are both going to the same school, there's no way for them to prove it's not your UPASS. The UPASS is just a generic card distributed by the school.
The student's name must be printed on the reverse of the U-Pass for it to be valid. If he is caught with a card with no name, Razor will likely have to print his name on the card while in the presence of the person checking fares. That then puts his girlfriend at risk when she needs to use the card.

Your bigger issue would've been if the UPASS said SFU and you were going to UBC. (Doesn't match) Otherwise you're all good
So generic, that it has a unique serial code on each of them

If Translink want, there are ways to track them.
If the company who developed the issuing system wanted to add an additional layer of fraud prevention while still using the present card design, they should have designed the vending kiosks to assign that unique serial to the student ID swiped to obtain the card. From that they could generate a simple database which could be referenced with ease.
Maybe that is already in place; I can't find any documentation to confirm it.
One look at Lyndsey Scott's résumé will have you concluding that she's made it big as far as the modeling industry goes. Her CV is brimming with appearances on some of the industry's most esteemed runways, including Gucci, Prada, Calvin Klein, and, yes, the pinkest of all, Victoria's Secret. She's also booked campaigns with MAC and DKNY, as well as a plethora of other glossy spreads. But, the five-foot-nine American beauty has another trick up her sleeve, and it doesn't have a thing to do with posing. When Scott isn't killing it on the runway, she's a certified computer programmer.
After graduating from Amherst in 2006 with degrees in computer science and theater, the model taught herself Python, Objective C, and iOS, and she's been building apps on the side ever since. But, she wasn't spending time on just any projects. The first app she released to the public benefited a charity called Educate!, which sponsors Ugandan scholars. And, for her second, Scott created a method for models to keep a digital version of their portfolio on hand to take to castings. We can imagine that's a lot of coding to do in between Fashion Weeks and go-sees.
In an industry where youth and physical appearance are so highly valued and celebrated, it's wonderful and refreshing to see Scott stand as a symbol of beauty, heart, and serious brain power in both the tech and fashion worlds.

This is why I love Victoria's Secret models, there is always something more to them than what meets the eye, they have brains. They always seem so approachable and just like your every day normal girl next door type, so sexy. She is so much hotter after learning this information.

Fighting to Kick the Habit
By MIKE TYSON
LAS VEGAS — IT’S the time of year for resolutions. Lose 20 pounds, get to the gym, eat healthier, be more productive, whatever. But in a few months, many people will let these goals fall by the wayside, to be revived next year. I belong to a group who can’t afford to make pledges we don’t keep. I’m an addict.
For addicts, discipline isn’t something to strive for each new year; it’s necessary for every moment. Though it might be surprising — considering all the craziness associated with the Mike Tyson persona — one of my best qualities is my unerring discipline, which my mentor and first trainer, Cus D’Amato, instilled in me. Cus and I worked hard so I could become the youngest heavyweight champ in history; I sacrificed most of my social life as a teenager and for years pushed my body to extremes every day, just to repeat the brutal regimen the next day.
Cus died a year before I won my first belt, in 1986. With him gone, I had less of an incentive to stay disciplined, and I started drinking heavily and taking drugs. I finally retired from boxing in 2005. I didn’t want to insult the sport by coming in out of shape, just fighting for a payday. That’s when I became a full-on raging addict. Since then, I have struggled for sobriety, sometimes successfully, at other times not.
Even though I possessed incredible discipline when it came to boxing, I didn’t have the tools to stop my slide into addiction. When I got a chance to get high — boom, I’d get high. I wouldn’t call my sponsor, wouldn’t call my therapist, wouldn’t call my sober companions.
No, in order to kick it, I had to replace the cravings for drugs or alcohol with a craving to be a better person.
I’ve learned that being sober is more than just avoiding drugs or alcohol. It’s a lifestyle focused on making moral choices and elevating the things that make life worth living to the forefront. Don’t get me wrong. If I craved drugs or alcohol, I’d still give in. I could never fight those cravings. But when I am focused on doing good and being good, and practice the day-to-day mechanics of a sober, healthy life, I don’t get those urges to do bad things to myself.
Of course, I needed a developed conscience to back it up. Over the years, my conscience has saved me from descending into a life of total, selfish hedonistic abuse. Even when I was just an antisocial kid, stealing and jostling in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, my friends and I would question our behavior. At my lowest points, I’d still be somewhat outside myself, thinking of the effect my actions had on other people.
Even with your conscience nagging at you, it’s extremely difficult to develop a sober and moral consciousness without a good support system. When I was in the prime of my career, I had a lousy support system. Greedy vultures were all around me, putting their hands in my pockets, using my status for their own self-aggrandizement. There was no way I could win with people like that in my corner. I am now very fortunate to have a wonderful wife and children surrounding me.
In 2009, I vowed to get sober after the accidental death of my 4-year-old girl, Exodus. I was determined to live a better life for the sake of my family, but the pain was so bad that I went back on drugs. Recovery is a drawn-out process, and without the continued encouragement of my support system, it would be close to impossible.
Strangely, times of success are most dangerous for me. When people tell me, “You’re great” or “Your comeback is amazing” or “You’re a god,” I could feed right into it and go get high. Hey, if my life is so good, how could smoking a joint be bad? How could a shot of Hennessy or a line of coke be so bad when everything else I’ve been doing is great — especially when there are beautiful, successful people feeding my ego and supplying the drugs? So I’ve learned that when people congratulate me, that’s when I focus on my flaws. That way I don’t allow my narcissism to fly sky-high and allow me to think that I can act out without any consequences.
I had been sober for five years when I had a slip and started drinking again last August. I had just finished the manuscript of my book, my one-man show was about to air on HBO, and we had a reality series in the can for Fox Sports. I was not accustomed to all that success in an arena other than boxing.
I have such a negative self-image that I just expect bad things to happen to me. And even though I hadn’t been using for five years, all that time I just didn’t feel comfortable in my skin. I was holding secrets from my loved ones, things that I had to get off my chest because I was dying inside. That’s the worst feeling in the world, keeping things to yourself. When I resolved those issues, through therapy and by talking honestly with my family, I felt like a new man. When I relapsed in the past, I would keep getting high until I was in a car accident or got arrested. But this time, after drinking for two or three days, I came back. I didn’t wait for an intervention. I just got right back on the wagon. After years of therapy, I had learned not to beat up on myself. I remembered that relapse is a part of recovery.
This is the best I’ve ever felt. I’m on the pathway to humility, fully aware that you can’t rule until you’ve served. I’m looking forward to a glorious 2014, when all of our best-intentioned resolutions become realities.
Mike Tyson, a retired heavyweight champion, is the author, with Larry Sloman, of the memoir “Undisputed Truth.”
Quick question for those who like to take pics if their cars...does anyone have a location in which theres graffiti or overgrown foliage and they would be willing to share? Much appreciated
Not only does he thank people for being fans, as typically celebrities do in these, but also takes the time to point out and compliment particularly good or astute questions people ask. Pretty nice to see.

I saw that before I left for work......... what a complete ass. He's an embarrassment to just about everything he stands for. The NBA, blacks, Americans, athletes, men, crackheads, the human species, carbon life forms from Earth, etc.
If he were a boxer, I'd say too many hits to the head........... does he have children? If so, let's hope whatever it is he has, skips a few hundred generations. If I were in the same room as him, I'd just
WOW!
The difference between smart and dumb - there is no limit to dumb.
Were there ten guys there? He may have miscounted........ LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

I think the issue is, Rodman was just pissed the guy would ask a question like that. Rodman knows Kim, and if he said anything dumb, him and his men would get executed or whatever.
I thought it was a dumb question as well, what else can you say? "Yeah, I'll talk to my crazy friend and plead for a guy I don't know for his release. And essentially jeopardize my and my entourage's life."
You can't simply tell a person raised with different cultural values and mindset to simply have some empathy. The guy will go nuts and think you're disrespecting him in front of his nation.

He's got a few Children. In fact at his Hall of Fame inductee, he said in his speech that he wished he was a better father and husband.
On another note, for all you RS'ers that know your insurance stuff, I've got a question.
My insurance expired two days and and I chose not to renew. Is there anything I have to do now that it has expired? Was I supposed to let them know I wasn't re-insuring? Or return my plates?
I'm thinking I will probably end up re-insuring in a month or two, already hate transiting 1.25hr each way to class. Do I keep my plates then?
Thanks in advance.
inb4 call in and ask. just wondering if anyone wanted to share their knowledge

You don't have to do anything but you are subject to risk now.
Since you do not have storage insurance, and if anything happens to your car, its tough luck.

Might not be getting storage, sisters in town and I offered her the car until I decide to renew, so she might be putting on temp.
Oh ya another question I wanted to ask lol. She has an Ontario license; can she get temp insurance without getting a BC license? It will only be a month of insurance
Ideally, you could insure it but put her down as the principle operator. However, if she fucks up, it'll probably go against your premium.
On the other hand, if you put the car in her name, she'd have to pay for reg, plates, etc. and you'd have to do the same to put the car back in your name.
