From soliciting funds online to selling parts of their bodies, students these days are exploring a wide variety of options in trying to pay off their college debt.
Turning to the World Wide Web
Kelli Space graduated from Northeastern University with a degree in sociology—and a whopping $200,000 worth of debt.
Space, an office manager with a technology company in New York, knew she couldn't pay off those loans without considerable help. Mostly as a joke this past May, Space and one of her friends set up twohundredthou.com on Tumblr for $9.
As the site started to get publicity, the donations started rolling in. But with the donations also came a wave of criticism. Space says she's received emails chastising her for shirking her responsibility, and suggesting she just "kill herself." To date, Space has received about $8,500 in donations, which amounts to about 4 percent of her student loans.
Space says she doesn't totally regret her college experience. "Do I regret my personal situation? I could have done a lot of things differently. I had the college dream in my head, which wasn't necessary or affordable. I thought it was a great experience—but not worth $200,000."
In 2008, grad school alums Henner and Lilac Mohr decided to start a website, now sponsormydegree.com, which allows any student to create a profile to solicit donations to pay off college debt.
Thousands of students from across the country participate in Sponsormydegree.com, according to Mohr, who now runs the site full-time. Mohr maintains that there is a rigorous vetting process in order to ensure that students actually are in need of funds to pay for college costs.
The Mohrs says the largest donation they've received personally is $5,000; the homepage shows students who have received thousands of dollars a piece in sponsorships.
Eggs for Sale
On college campuses, you don't need to look very hard to find the advertisements at colleges across the nation; fertility clinics seeking egg donors are offering thousands of dollars in compensation. Ivy league eggs are at a premium, often earning donors extra cash.
The websiteElitedonors.comoffers compensation of up to $80,000 to a donor "who is attending or has graduated from a top-ten, four-year college," among other criteria.
Miracle Baby Donor, an egg donor assistance agency based in Burlingame, California, currently advertises in Cornell University's daily newspaper.
Generally, the clinics offer $6,000-$10,000 in compensation to donors, along with reimbursement of valid expenses—a heavy chunk of change for college students who are tight on cash. The current donordatabase on Miracle Baby Donor is comprised almost exclusively of students in school.
Eggs aren't the only thing students can sell for some extra money.
One student, who declined to be named, donated plasma twice a week while a student at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Va.
Two two-and-half hour sessions brought in $60 a week.
"You can bring magazines or textbooks to study," says the student. "A bunch of my friends went as well for the extra money."
Harvard's Health Services website advises students that "although egg donation may look like an easy way to get some cash and help an infertile woman, it also carries risks. Many reputable websites only review the risks for women who have infertility problems."
Plasma donation, while less risky, carries similar risks to blood donation, and anyone with special nutrition needs should consult their doctor.
Public Service
Some public service outfits—such as the Peace Corps—offer a percentage of loan forgiveness after a certain period of service. If a student joins the Peace Corps, they can get up to 70 percent of their federal loans forgiven after four years of service.
Students who participate in Teach for America, a subsidiary of AmeriCorps, work for two years as teachers in low-income areas. For their two years of service, corps members will receive an education award of over $10,000, which can be put toward student loans.
Free Degree?
Perhaps the best ways to avoid ensnarement in the loan-repayment trap is not to incur any debt in the first place,
There are more than a dozen schools in the U.S. that are completely tuition-free for accepted students.
Many of the schools are religious, most require academic aptitude, and some even require military service. Free tuition often requires demonstrated financial need, a big commitment, and in some cases, a lot of hard work.
College of the Ozarks, a.k.a. "Hard Work U", is in the small town of Point Lookout, Mo. The college, founded at the beginning of the twentieth century to provide education to the citizens of the Ozark region, has developed into a completely tuition-free college, where students participate in a mandatory work-study program in lieu of paying for school.
Students must work 15 hours a week and two forty-hour weeks at the college, and can end up with job placements as varied as the dining hall or the dairy farm. But 90 percent of the graduates are debt free, having worked off their $16,900-a-year tuition and other costs.
Those who do wund up with debt, on average, graduate with $5,000 or less according to the college, which adds it is usually associated with housing costs and/or living expenses.
Other tuition-free schools accept students based completely on merit—Cooper Union in New York City is one—or require military service—such as the academies in Annapolis and West Point.

It is very important for cancer survivors to continue to visit their doctors for regular medical check-ups following treatment. Check-ups typically occur every 3-4 months for several years after treatment, and then once or twice per year after that.
At a follow-up appointment, a doctor may look for side effects from treatment and to see if the cancer has returned or spread to other parts of the body. In some cases, blood tests, imaging scans (CT, MRI, PET, etc.) or other tests will be performed.
Survivors should let the care provider know if they are experiencing any side-effects or have any other concerns. The negative health effects of cancer and cancer treatments (i.e. fatigue) can last for many months after treatment ends.

Hanger loop boxed stitch through and through. Stand up collar, snapped down collar tips. 8-10 stitches per inch, reinforced pockets corners and wind flap, provide solid construction that backed by life time warrantee.
Its lining of 100% cotton and 100% wool knit cuffs & waistband is also true to the original. Finish touch of A/N inspection stamp and Air Corp stamp on the lining.

Very authentic jacket Review by Jonathan Vigier (December 2006)
I purchased an A2 horsehide seal brown jacket from you a few months ago. I have only recently had time to compare its details to those of the originals from the '40s : it comes out pretty well!
What with the quality of the product and the excelent service provided by US Authentic I believe the jacket to be very good value for money.

Wonderful jacket Review by Calvin Chue (February 2006)
Got the goatskin A-2 jacket today and it looks wonderful! I'm sure our co-worker will cherish it for many years. The custom printed liner is just perfect.
Thanks again for an excellent product and quick shipping!

Great! Review by Scott Shoop (January 2006)
I recieved my A2 in two days from ordering. Great! The product is everything that I expected. Thanks again and I WILL recommend you to my friends. (Posted on 7/28/10)
Thanks for an outstanding jacket Review by James R. Dole (February 2007)
I recently purchased and received my Russet Horsehide A2 jacket. I am very pleased with the quality to price ratio.
I gave the salesman/owner my height and weight and the suggested size was perfect. It is a bit stiff (a good thing) and I am told that with increased wearing of the jacket the fit/feel will only get better. Thanks again for an outstanding jacket. I look forward to purchasing the Medium Brown Goatskin A2 next. (Posted on 7/23/10)
As authentic as it can be Review by Dave Pitt (February 2007)
I want to take a minute and "Thank You" for the excellent service I received from when I ordered my A-2 Jacket.
I have had several A-2 jackets in the past. The last one was a Cooper, which I wore till the cuffs frayed out. I gave it to Goodwill.
This jacket is well made and as authentic as I care to be. Eplets, patch pockets, etc. are first class. I ordered it on last week [Wednesday] and it was here this Monday. Wow, now that is fast. I highly recomend you.
Thank you again, I am VERY PLEASED !!!!!

My favorite piece of clothing!! Review by Rob Bailey (February 2007)
Dear Sirs-
About 8 years ago I was searching for an authentic A-2 flight jacket. I found your site, and loved all the information on it. I kept watching for months, waiting on an A-2 in my size to show up in the bargain bin. Sure enough, one day a "mis-stiched" A-2 became available and I jumped right on it.
When it arrived I could not believe the quality. I had only seen cheap replicas in the past. To this day it is my favorite piece of clothing I've ever owned.
Whatever mperfection is there is not even noticable.
I wanted to let you know that you have another thrilled customer. I re-ordered another catalogue because they are a fantastic resource.
I hope your company is doing well. I have recommended friends to you. Thank you for doing excellent work!
It's greatly appreciated. (Posted on 7/23/10)
Rich, glorious leather. 100% satisfied! Review by Doug Rennie (January 2007)
Well, my A-2 goatskin arrived today (Jan 9); not sure why it took almost 2 weeks to get here, but now that it has at last arrived, it's well worth the wait. Just a superb jacket! A near-perfect fit (your 38R recommendation was right on; I'm usually between a 36R and 38R, but the US authentic jacket is a trim fit, which I much prefer over the baggy "relaxed" fit of almost all the others. The fit on me is snug without being tight, as I said close-to-perfect), and the quality of the leather, stitching, and general attention to detail is first-rate.
VASTLY superior in every respect to the Cooper A-2 I once had. The leather is smooth, soft and supple, and the jacket smells like the interior of a BMW. That is, that rich, glorious leather smell.
Everything about the jacket says quality and authenticity, including the "Army Air Forces" stamp on the lining which gives the whole package a strong WW II feel.
The long wait was a little frustrating, but I am 100% satisfied with the jacket.

Infinitely better than the competition Review by NK Watanabe (November 2006)
I just received your Russet Horsehide A-2 and it is outstanding! Through work with the Exemplar Program at the USAF Academy, I have come in contact with numerous A-2s , including one from COL Hub Zemke and yours is right on. Infinitely better than those sold by your competitors such as US Wings. Hooah!

A DJ is a disc jockey. Disc jockeys are the people that play the music you hear on radio stations, internet radio stations, local bars and dance clubs, and even at wedding receptions. A disc jockey will consider their target audience when selecting the tracks to be played and often has a set list given to them by the company they work for, such as radio station management who wish to target a specific audience.
Sokanu matches you to one of over 500 careers by analyzing your personality, interests, and needs in life. Take the free assessment now to see your top career recommendations!
A disc jockey is responsible for several tasks depending on their workplace and position in the music industry. In a radio station, a disc jockey is responsible for playing tracks from a set playlist that is given to them by station management. This playlist will often target a specific audience and music genre. Also, a radio station disc jockey is responsible for answering calls from listeners. These calls may be the result of an artist interview, station contest, or even just to comment on the selections being played. The disc jockey is in charge of interviews conducted with musicians of the genre chosen by the radio station, as well as being responsible for announcing commercials in accordance with the stations set programming requirements.
As a disc jockey for a dance club, the DJ will be responsible for playing songs that are both entertaining and will affect the audience in a desired manner. This may include playing requested songs as well as setting up selections that will direct the audience to a certain area. This is done by selecting tracks that have the effect of pushing the audience to visit the bar, check out a promotional item sales booth, prepare for a contest or just to dance.
Being a disc jockey requires a vast amount of energy and musical knowledge. You do not need to go to school to become a disc jockey, though that option is available for those who wish to do so.
The basic needs for a disc jockey vary depending on their choice of venue. A radio disc jockey will have a set playlist given to them by the station management and may select tracks from that playlist. The playlist generally consists of only songs from a specific genre, with a few tracks included from closely related songs. For example, a station who has chosen to specialize in the pop genre may have a few borderline songs from country musicians in their playlist due to the pop-style sound of the tracks.
A radio disc jockey will need to be able to communicate well over the air, conduct interviews with musicians in a professional, yet fun, manner, and also be able to handle calls from listeners with professionalism.
A disc jockey in a dance club, rave, or other party-style venue will need to have strong skills for reading their audience. This enables them to keep the audience dancing all night without wearing them out or boring them. They will also need to be able to communicate well with the venue owners and managers, making sure that there are no conflicts with the songs they are playing, the type of audience their playlist is drawing, etc.
Overall, a DJ needs excellent communication skills and needs to be able to manage and organize a varied playlist and audience. A strong work ethic will help maintain employment with radio stations, dance clubs, mobile disc jockey companies, and private bookings. A disc jockey known for cancelling their appearances will not be hired as often as one who is diligent about their professional requirements.
A disc jockey may work in a large variety of places depending on their chosen field. With the wide variety of disc jockey positions available in the music industry, these places of employment could include radio stations, internet radio stations, private bookings for weddings and parties, mobile disc jockey services, local bars and dance clubs, and even genre based television channels.
The salary of a disc jockey in the music industry varies depending on the chosen venue, however the average salary of a disc jockey ranges from $15.00 an hour to $50.00 an hour, with some disc jockeys making more than $250.00 an hour. As stated, the salary varies by region, chosen venue, and total hours worked.
While a mobile disc jockey may be paid $500.00 and above for an event, they may also be booked for several hours. In the same token, a radio station disc jockey may only be paid $20.00 an hour, but may only work a few hours a night. The choice of venue truly will affect the overall salary each disc jockey makes, as well as the addition of any tips and bonuses made for events.

Great Reflection! September 12, 2012
In reading this book - it reflects on different parts of the movie that makes you realize how important the small stuff is.
How you don't have to be a bit shot to make a difference. God works through everyone - even those most unlikely.
I like how he delves into specific situations and comes up with great thought inspiring ideas.
There are not many books that I keep in my small book collection. Once I have read a book I generally pass it on. But this one is a keeper. That is how good it is in my opinion
Review by Denise
Do you pay a visit to Bedford Falls every Christmas? Does December feel incomplete without a reminder that "no man is a failure who has friends"? If George and Mary Bailey are annual guests at your home during the holidays, you already know that It's A Wonderful Life is far more than just a festive seasonal film. It's a reflection of what we can be when we're at our best and a reminder that our lives can change everyone around us—for better or worse. Revisit the defining lessons in Frank Capra's 1946 classic, and discover new dimensions of the film you've seen time and again. What can you learn from Mary's quiet contentedness? Does George's selflessness make you rethink your own priorities? And how about Clarence's dogged commitment to his assignment? Join author Bob Welch for a close-up of the characters and themes that shape this beautiful story. You'll be reminded that life's most important work is often the work we never planned to do and that God can use the most unlikely among us to get the job done.

For many years, the objective of the National Strategy Forum (NSF) has been to provide balanced, nonpartisan, usable information regarding US national strategy and national security. The NSF created an informal "curriculum" based on the Forum monthly lecture series, the National Strategy Forum Review (NSFR) publication, and conferences on emerging national strategy/security issues. The results have been positive -- NSF members are exceptionally well-informed.
The velocity, access, and availability of an enormous amount of information tend to overwhelm careful analysis. Particularly troublesome are some blogs, which are unedited and unscreened, and, frequently, highly partisan. Confusing, inconsistent, misleading and incomplete information interferes with rational analysis. The NSF has adapted to this new milieu.
We seek to provide NSF members with an overview of the national strategy/national security field in summary form, while carefully avoiding superficial treatment. We will continue to adhere to our long-standing principle of "framing the issues," and asking questions rather than answering them. Context will be provided by a wide array of experts in their respective fields.
The major themes that the NSF has focused on are diplomacy, economics, military force, rule of law, strategy, and terrorism. These themes will continue with different emphasis depending upon facts on the ground. It is likely that the economy will receive high priority attention. Strategy will continue to be the glue that ties these interdependent themes together.
NSF members will have a matrix of themes and issues that will assist them in becoming well-informed and well-positioned to discuss these issues with their family, friends, business associates, and civic associates. - Richard E. Friedman, Publisher

The latest updates to the H1 (31.25 kbit/s) physical layer specifications will improve the robustness of fieldbus control systems by optimizing device interoperability and integration. End users will benefit from easier installation, faster commissioning and seamless startups.
Enhancements to the Foundation fieldbus specifications include:
- Addition of a test procedure for isolated couplers to the existing Foundation fieldbus Coupler Test Specification. Registration of isolated couplers is now possible.
- Improvements to the H1 Physical Layer Conformance Test Specification based on Action Requests received during the last few years. The most significant changes include the addition of a receive jitter test case and a device-coupler interoperability test.
- Updates to the H1 Physical Layer Test Specification to remove obsolete profiles and align new references in the document with the current International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) specifications. Coupler profiles were also added to the test specification.
- Miscellaneous updates to the Foundation fieldbus Cable Specification.
Fieldbus Foundation Director-Fieldbus Products Stephen Mitschke commented, "The Fieldbus Foundation's rigorous interoperability test and registration procedures thoroughly examine all aspects of a fieldbus device. The latest enhancements to our physical layer specifications will strengthen this testing and provide end users with greater confidence that registered Foundation fieldbus devices can be employed in a tightly integrated, interoperable control system architecture."
Implementation of the new Foundation fieldbus H1 Physical Layer Test Specification Version 2.0 is not immediately required. However, fieldbus device developers are encouraged to start using the specification as soon as possible. The updated specification will become mandatory with the next major release of the Fieldbus Foundation's Interoperability Test Kit (ITK). Until then, developers can still provide proof of conformance to Version 1.5 of the specification when registering a device.

The National Hurricane Center has updated its project track for Tropical Storm Debby, and the news remains largely the same for the Tampa Bay area: The storm, though weakened, is still headed toward the Gulf Coast and Central Florida.
As of 11 a.m., today, June 26, the entire Bay region remains under a tropical storm warning. This means "tropical storm conditions (sustained winds of 39 to 73 mph) are expected somewhere within the specified area within 36 hours," according to the weather service. Counties affected include Sarasota, Pasco, Manatee, Pinellas and Hillsborough.
Although Debby's impact on most of the Tampa region is waning today, National Weather Service meteorologist Ernie Jillson said conditions could deteriorate later today.
While there are no current tornado watches in effect, Jillson said, "I would not be surprised to see one go up later today as the rain bands begin to increase."
Tropical Storm Debby has already dumped more than 10 inches of rain on the Tampa Bay area. Another 3 to 5 inches is anticipated before the storm moves away from Florida Thursday.
For more information about Debby's current path and Tampa Bay weather, visit the National Weather Service's website.
Stay with Patch for updates about Tropical Storm Debby as they become available.

Is Government the Solution?
Never before have I seen times like these. Well, I'm not that old so maybe that's a good thing. This nation once saw government as the problem. Government was not to be trusted, and all politicians were crooks. Government was too big, government was too slow, government took too much of our money. But recently attitudes seem to have changed.
Government is now to be viewed as the source of our solutions. It is the all seeing eye. It is our guardian and savior. It is like the parent that you can always turn to when the rest of the world is turning its back. The government that was once too big now needs to grow and increase its oversight. The government that was to slow now needs to act quickly to save our economy. But government that took too much of our money is now broke and is telling us that we either need to raise taxes or cut the services. We like our government services so soon we may be begging for more taxation.
Who is to Blame for the Financial Mess?
After being placed on the hook for a $700 billion financial bailout, I think we're due a few answers. First, and most basic is who is to blame for this big mess? Is it the oligarchs on Wall Street? Is it the politicians in Washington? Is it the Americans who have spent more than they earn for long periods of time? Is it the mortgage brokers who gave mortgages to people who could not afford them?
Those questions will of course, not be answered. But, just as important is to make sure that we are getting the right solution. And again, I am not confident that that will happen either. Is the best we can do is to make sure that it does not happen again? My class seems half full of optimism.
The Supreme Court Lets Us Down
The Supreme Court has begun its annual fall session. They have picked the cases in which they will decide. In a news release, the media reported that the Spring Court has not taken up any cases on abortion, race, or other social issues which can polarize the citizens of the country.
What is all that about? Don't we as citizens, like to be polarized? Don't we like to discuss with our neighbors, coworkers and friends topics in which we can point out how they are wrong? Isn't this what America is all about? Nothing is more empowering than standing up and telling people how they are wrong. At the very least, it makes for lively parties. Tried this at the next gathering you are going to be at. Or at least by Thanksgiving with family. You will be the life of your party, guaranteed.
Sharing the Wealth
We are now entering the final three weeks of on over two year presidential campaign. What started out as a breath of fresh air, a new era of history, and an open campaign has become a whimpering pile of negativity. The campaigns started out covering issues of immigration and the war in Iraq. It has now moved on to the economy-which it should. Most presidential elections are decided on the economy even in times of war.
Elections have been decided when times were good and when times were bad. In tough economic times, the party in power has generally been changed. This time will be no different. The Democrats are gearing up for a victory and of realigning election. However, they have been the majority party in Congress over two years, and their approval rating is lower than the president's. And that's nothing to be proud of.
Get Ready for Senator Government
The presidential debates had not produced a memorable moment or a knockout punch. Although in the last debate, one of the more memorable moments I think, was a Freudian and slip by John McCain. He referred to Sen. Obama and Sen. Government. But there's too much truth in that line to chuckle and forget.
If the polls hold up, and they are correct, neither of which can be guaranteed, America could be facing a watershed moment. We could be in a time changing time, the likes we have not seen in many years. We could be facing the most liberal and the most expansive government growth in 45 to 75 years. Apparently people's distrust of government is over. The era of government being too big, too invasive and too costly as ended. We will not enter the era of shared wealth.
Election Lessons
Just Like Bil Keane on the Family Circus, Bernard will be taking a short leave of absence and this edition of Logos of the Bogus will be written by me, his adoptive son, Shadow, age 10. ( you humans have to have pointed out that I am a cat). What I would like to discuss are some of the lessons that I have learned by watching people discuss the upcoming election. It has taken me a while to type this out because I do not have an index finger and I don't understand your alphabets. The first one goes ABCD, and now I have to work on one that goes QWERT.
Presidency for Sale
Both four and eight years ago, the Republicans outspent the Democrats in the presidential race. When this happened, the Liberals got out and yelled "foul!" Democrats accused Republicans of buying and stealing the elections. However, this year is different. This year the Democrats are outspending the Republicans by wide margins. Barack Obama is outspending John McCain by huge amounts. I don't know what the totals are because that would involve research. And my associate here at Logos of the Bogus just went off for his afternoon nap.
An Obama administration is gearing up to raise taxes. Vice presidential nominee Joe Biden thinks that this is patriotic. The tax-and-spend liberals must have a lot of money. They can send donations to the Obama camp and still have money left over for higher taxes. This would not bother me except they are the ones who want to force tax increases on me too. Obama thinks he can save 10 billion dollars per month by not spending it in Iraq. This is how he will however, Obama also wants to rebuild the infrastructure of the United States with the same amount of money being spent in Iraq. I don't see how this adds up. Saving money yet spending it.
Vote No for Sanity
On election day, the tax-and-spend liberals a Milwaukee County are ready willing and able to do whatever it takes to insult its citizens, lie to the taxpayers," under estimate the intelligence of the people of Milwaukee County. Yes, they are trying to trick you into believing their lies that they will actually reduce the tax burden in the county. They want us to believe that they are actually going to reduce property taxes by measurable amounts. As we've seen in the past, nothing is further from the truth. They want you to volunteer for a high sales tax. The tax-and-spend liberals of Milwaukee County must believe that if you are going to elect Barack Obama as president, you are already geared up for higher taxes, so let's just throw the sales tax into the mix. It's your vote.
However, they are expecting a windfall of the sales tax just like the County Stadium District tax. The amounts coming in are higher than the projections. If the sales taxes tripled, like they want it, the County Board will be a wash in funds. They can spend it however they want because much more is coming in than expected so there's a lot to be wasted. The Milwaukee journalsentinel also has run some editorial letters in favor of the tax. Although that does not surprise me, I disagree with the nonchalant attitude of saying we have gotten past the pension scandal so let's get past that and raise our taxes anyway. Again this is an example of the tax-and-spend liberal who is only paying the minimum yet wants everyone else to pay more.

post #21 of 83
10/3/09 at 3:20pm
My honest thought is, "why have kids if you're going to send them away?"
My daughter loves her preschool. She started at 2 1/2 for 2 hours 2 days / week because that is what worked for our family. She LOVES school. She is SO sad if she's unable to go (for the first year she was sad any day it wasn't a school day!)
Maybe a better place for you to post your judgements about Stay At Home Moms who don't choose to homeschool their children would have been in the Homeschooling forum.
I am puzzled by this response here because the OP's original post was wondering about a SAHM sending very young kids (18 months, or 2 yrs) to full time daycare. Not a very part time, part week, enjoyable educational program. I never read any judgements against SAHMS who don't want to homeschool.
I would also be very puzzled by a SAHM using full time daycare for a child this young, unless she was trying to work from home. Not preschool, or mother's day out, or some other way to get a break or get something done once in a while. Full time daycare. I thought that is what the OP was asking about.
To me, there's a big difference between sending an 18 month old child to full time daycare vs sending a 2.5 or 3 year old child to preschool.
To me, there's a big difference between sending an 18 month old child to full time daycare vs sending a 2.5 or 3 year old child to preschool. I can understand needing/wanting a break but I just don't understand why someone would choose to be a SAHM yet send their very young child somewhere else for 8 hours every day. I'm a SAHM so that I'm the one who has the most influence on my children's lives in their early years so, for me, it would make no sense for me to send an 18 month old to full time daycare. Obviously, not everyone is a SAHM for the same reasons though, it's interesting to see other people's point of views.
Maybe she feels the same way I do about my daughter's preschool - she gets a break & her kids get the benefit of socialisation. Children at school (or any type of "daycare") get constant attention all of the time - many people feel that's important to development & don't feel they can provide that at home. There's no "right" or "wrong" in parenting.
I also have to say I'm totally shocked I saw "I wonder what she does all day" written in the SAH forum by a SAHM. As most of us Stay At Home Parents (aka Home Managers) know, there is ALWAYS work to do in order to keep a household running. My job isn't just "Mom." When my kids are all in school full time I'll probably be busier than I am now, being that I'll have no "excuse" to play Connect Four for an hour at 10am.
*DISCLAIMER: Yes, I realize that most homeschoolers are not judgemental of those who choose not to homeschool
I went through a period of time as a SAHM with a baby and toddler where we had a nanny.
Yes, a NANNY. For a SAHM.
DH totally supported this, and it really helped us both maintain our sanity.
She worked about 35 hours a week. The hours varied. Sometimes during the day, sometimes in the evening, so DH and I could have a date night. She was naturally an early riser. So she would come over around 7am on some days, and she would take over the baby (who had kept me up all night nursing), and the toddler, and then I took a long morning nap.
To each her own, I say...

The roads still end up at the same buildings, but they now have different names and uses. Simply known as McClellan, the current land is now home to developing projects that will be an important piece of marketing Anniston and its neighbors to potential investors. Economic development is a central theme for city leaders when discussing the property and how to reap benefits from all that it has to offer. While McClellan has enormous size, it won't be shut off from the remainder of Anniston but rather be a rich component that will enhance and benefit all sections of the Model City through tax dollars and increased population.
The three biggest projects underway are the completion of roads that will not only connect traffic but also attract major investment. The Memorial Parkway, Iron Mountain Road and Pappy Dunn Boulevard will collectively account for roughly 65 million dollars of infrastructure and unite the majority of the roadway at McClellan. All three roads are currently estimated between 60 and 70 percent done and will all reach completion in spring 2015.
The connector's importance cannot be overstated. They will serve as major arteries to connect the massive acreage of not only McClellan but also serve as outlets to Highways 431 and 21 and Interstates 20 and 59. When all roadwork is completed, the traffic spill from the junction at Hwy 21 will supply Anniston with commercial retail and enhanced shipping lanes through the heart of Calhoun County. The increased car count will spur development on 21 resulting in more visibility for outskirts of the area. Once the commercial growth has started, McClellan will be the site of more planned expansion. Anniston City Planner Toby Bennington says," Depending on the economy at the time, residential opportunities will boom at McClellan".
Bennington was quick to note that McClellan would not be an island unto itself. He said, "McClellan is an area that we will market as a crucial piece of our city, but not the only thing we have to offer. McClellan's strength will be felt through Anniston and the county. The benefits will be shared equally all over the city. McClellan strengthens the city's ability to market itself as a total package of economic development and ecotourism destination. McClellan will benefit downtown and the bike trails and also accomplish our goal to be a holistic community. Everything will have its place and serve a grander purpose".
Bennington also spoke about the creation of the McClellan Industrial Compact, a regional cooperative that brought together partners from all corners of the county. Surrounding communities and invested stakeholders joined together to form a state of the art industrial park on Pappy Dunn Parkway. When cities and citizens pooled resources for the new park, a template was set. Bennington said, "The regionalism that was created for the park will be replicated at the Anniston Airport, Chief Ladiga Trail and Coldwater Mountain Bike Trail. Communities around Anniston can invest resources and also utilize the benefits for their citizens. Working together, we can increase job opportunities and set the stage for future regional partnerships".
While the planned improvements will certainly serve as an advantage, the existing roadways haven't been forgotten. Bennington explained, "The road network will continue to morph as redevelopment evolves. Some could be repurposed or even redirected. A good example of redoing a road will be the chance we have to reopen Reilly Lake once Iron Mountain Road is finished".
McClellan has gotten not just a facelift but also a complete overhaul. The makeover will benefit not only Anniston and its citizens but also potentially the entire state. Traffic will flow from all four corners of the once proud post and stamp the old fort as not only Anniston's windfall but as a fortune for the entire county.

Beginning Monday, July 9, a temporary Hampton Roads Transit (HRT) bus stop will be located on Thomas Nelson Drive as replacement for the bus stop shelter and transfer point near Hastings Hall on Thomas Nelson Community College's (TNCC) Hampton campus.
The temporary bus stop will be for drop off and pick up only during the construction of a new HRT bus stop and transfer point in the parking lot adjacent to Hastings Hall. HRT signage will mark the temporary bus stop and the parking lot will be closed during the project.
College officials said construction will last roughly six weeks. Designed with safety in mind, the new HRT bus stop and transfer point will include a dedicated walkway with lighting for evening customers and three shelters to protect patrons from the elements.

The Spanish Exchange
The Spanish Exchange group in San Sebastian.
The Spanish Exchange, in its eighth year, arrived in Durango on Saturday 26th March. Having spent the weekend with their Spanish partners and families, the sixteen Grammarians then spent the week in San Jose Jesuitak, a Jesuit school in the Basque Country. Monday was spent in school, followed by a trip for the British Council Comenius Project we are undertaking. On Tuesday we visited Bilbao, first to the prestigious Deusto Jesuit University for the Project, then into the city centre. Wednesday was spent in school, and on Thursday we went to Loyola, the home of St. Ignatius to visit his house and the impressive Basilica. We then visited San Sebastian on the coast, renowned for its beauty and 'pintxos' or Basque tapas. The warm sunny weather made a walk along the beach a welcome start to the summer! It has been an excellent week enjoyed by all, with many special memories to look back on.

Being a freelance logo designer, or any other designer for that matter, we often see our fair share of NDA's—what is an NDA: Non-Disclosure Agreement?—that are dispatched by way of potential clients. Signing an NDA doesn't mean you got the job, far from it, just means you are being entrusted with some potentially valuable information.
You don't have to sign an NDA, but the chances are you'll not be considered for whatever project is up for grabs.…Read More

The reason I ponder this is because I met with a grad recruiter client last week, who said, "Lee, we know we recruit good graduates but now, we want to recruit great graduates".
I took a sharp breath. How do you go from good to great? I thought about this for a couple of seconds, chose my response, and executed the best open ended question I could fathom – "Well… that sounds like a great idea, but what's the difference?"
And so, he proceeded to present a fairly well-defined list of what he viewed as the differences between good and great.
And I listened. And I listened some more, and then I continued to listen for even longer.
Amid a haze of adjectives that would have even the most ardent Countdown fan running for their lives from Dictionary Corner, what I eventually learnt was, that to him, 'great' was quite simply those graduates who truly wanted to work for his business.
And why did he want 'great', and not just 'good'? They performed better. Who can argue with that?
How could he spot them? They were more enthusiastic, they knew his competitors and had even applied to some, they demonstrated that extra little bit of knowledge about the industry and to top it off, they demonstrated a pure passion that couldn't be replicated in others.
So I asked him how he thought we could best work together to find 'great'. Among his ideas and suggestions, the thought of video interviewing cropped up. His rationale for using it – "graduates like it, they're used to it, it's their thing isn't it".
And so followed a discussion around its pros and cons, to which I asked – if video interviewing didn't exist, what else could we do?
"Well", I suggested, "How about we just tighten up the 'Why do you want to work for us' question that we ask at telephone interview stage?"
I continued. "Let's raise the benchmark and only give above average scores to those candidates whose answers go further than just verbatim of what is in the About Us section of your website and annual report. Let's probe to see if they have a deeper understanding. When they talk about competitors, let's ask for a few names and check if they have applied to them. When they say they are passionate about the industry, let's ask them to demonstrate it. What have they done to prove they should be scored higher than a good applicant, and as such are a "great" candidate?
In the end, we came to the conclusion that video interviewing could wait. We could elicit what we were looking for by making small refinements, not wholesale changes.
I guess the point of this blog really then, is to suggest that the recruitment landscape is changing at quite some rate. As such, there will always be the temptation to try something brand new and emerging in the hopes it helps to improve the quality of hire.
Ultimately, however, there is often little need to make wholesale changes. It's the small incremental ones, which if executed correctly, will deliver the best outcomes.
If you recruit graduates, apprentices or trainees and you want to go from good to great, why not play The Generation Y Game and find out what it might take.

A real existential life story of a domainerFebruary 24th, 2010
I really enjoy reading the feature stories on DNJournal, they bring a lot of inspiration. What usually most of the profiled people share in common is a pretty comfortable middle to upper class upbringing (I'm no different) which to a large extent helped them to be successful in their future business careers.
Today I want to tell you part of the life story of a huge domainer (easily over $200k in revenue per month), because it is one of the most breathtaking and fascinating stories I have ever heard and really differs from all of us. This person comes from Eastern Europe just like me and I have got to know him pretty well in the last two years, although we have met in person only a few times. This guy is completely under the radar, so obviously I will keep his name private. Let's just call him Igor for the purpose of this story.
Igor spent most of his teenager years still behind the iron curtain, growing up under the communist regime of the time. The times were tough then, shops were undersupplied, there was a lack of freedom, you couldn't travel etc. Igor dropped out of school early, never finishing high school. His first major encounter with life was when his father committed suicide when he was a teenager, to be found by Igor's brother. Igor would later attempt to committ suicide himself through a rohypnol overdose, which he fortunately survived (he woke up 48 hours later). With the revolution in 1989, Igor discovered he had an entrepreneural spirit and decided to go into business, opening a newsstand at a train station. Unfortunately he ended bancrupt with no money, he had to find a new way how to provide himself with a living quickly. During his time working at the newsstand he got acquainted with some of the homosexual prostitutes residing there, which would tell him about their "business" and the potential of making decent money from it. Because of the situation he was in, he opted for this option and moved to Germany, where he would prostitute himself for over a year (although being straight himself). He also had a stint in Switzerland, only to be banned from the country for 10 years. As his financial situation improved, he came back and went back into business, starting a book wholesale operation. This career was brought to a halt though as he got involved in a serious car accident for which he was sentenced to two years in prison. After being released from prison he again started a new business, this time in import-export, where he finally found some success. The internet was becoming integral to this business and Igor stumbled upon the relatively new Google Adsense programme, which he implemented on his export related websites. After making 50 cents in the first day, he saw potential in this and was looking at ways to scale this and was quickly drawn to domains, which he would acquire through drops. Even though he had a demon called alcohol haunting him (he would go through two bottles of vodka a night working), he would put immense amounts of work into his new passion of domains and would observe his portfolio and parking revenue grow every month, mainly through re-investing all his income back into domains. Today, his portfolio numbers tens of thousands of domains and is still growing every day.I really admire this guy because he is one of the smartest people in the business, has a huge drive to move forward and has an unbelievable sense of humour. This guy is the biggest charater in the biz and is 100% pure. I hope a movie is made out of his life one day.

I like scrambled and fried eggs but the butter or oil probably add unnecessary calories. How can I fry an egg with no butter? I tried in a Teflon pan but it was a mess.
Well, frying means to cook in oil, so technically you can't. Fat also is delicious, so you'll lose something in the process besides just calories.
If you are using teflon, ceramic, or some other non-stick, don't bring the heat up too much. Scrambling your eggs with milk will make them more fluffy, and I bet less likely to stick. Use (sigh) PAM or another aerosolized cooking spray. Or just 'wipe' the pan with an oiled paper towel. It would impart minimal calories.
It's sad, but microwaving eggs will cook them without adding calories (or anything else). You can also make absolutely delicious eggs by soft-boiling them, which adds nothing at all.
My more general advice is to learn to love a little fat and to consume a variety of fresh, unprocessed foods which taste great. It's much healthier in the long run than just cutting away at a number. Better to go for some walks/runs/lifts then sacrifice flavor. And fat leads to fullness, which leads to less wasted calories on junk later in the day.
Poached eggs are a good healthy alternative to a fried egg. In my opinion they are nicer than fried eggs but they must be cooked with fresh eggs.
You can use a non-stick cooking spray like PAM. It's canola oil based, but if used properly in a very brief spray you'll only be adding about 3-5 calories to your egg.
Scrambed eggs can be done in the microwave and they can taste good. The important part below is to cook the eggs in the microwave for a short time, then take them out, stir/mash and put them back in.
It's also important to remove the eggs before they look done. And keep watching them while they microwave! Eggs can overcook so quickly.
Frankly, it's just so much easier to do them in a pan.
Just thought of an idea that might be interesting if you really wanted a scrambled egg, and didn't want to worry about scrambling. What if you "scrambled" the egg, while still inside the shell, would that even work? Well a bit of googling brought me to an instructables page detailing exactly that.
So apparently, you can! Summary:
You can get round the issue of the oil by just using a small amount of water in the frying pan instead, not so much frying as shallow boiling. You will still end up with the fried egg look but without any of the added calories.
Not that I would recommend this as the oil or butter add to the flavour and look of the fried egg.
I don't recommend it, in fact I recommend frying eggs in a little bacon grease, but if you want the eggs with almost no added fats consider getting a microwave egg cooker. For example, this well regarded microwave egg cooker listed on Amazon. It will probably need at least a few drops of oil to release the eggs. (Technically closer to poaching than frying.)
I have a microwave container that closes and makes it very easy to cook eggs with no oil. I got it from walmart(like 3.50) and i use it daily. you can add in tomato lean chopped up bits of turkey(for sandwitches) and onion for an omelet on bread. just add a little whipped salad dressing and presto 8)
I have been cutting down on oil and butter as well, and have discovered a method for making the eggs tasty in the process: Dissolve a bullion cube in the egg and then fry per usual. I found it is best to keep stirring the eggs (I.E. scramble them) and to not preheat the pan.
Use olive-oil spray (or some other PAM imitation) in a non-stick pan. For scambled eggs, stir frequently. For both kinds of eggs, the key is to spray the pan while it's hot and then immediately add your eggs before the spray burns away.
It's not as good as oil, but it will work.
Splurge on a small top-shelf non-stick pan. You can cook eggs with no fat at all, and nothing will stick.
Rex Stout (author of the Nero Wolfe novels) has a scrambled egg recipe with no butter or oil, where six eggs are stirred in a skillet from 20 to 40 minutes.
I've used this recipe a number of times and I can say that it although it took some time to get right, the end results are...almost worth it. The key thing to get right is temperature. On a gas hob, you need the smallest ring on the lowest heat and even then you may need an asbestos pad in-between the flame and the skillet. On an electric hob you mileage will vary; I've had electric hobs where you can turn down the heat so low that you can't even cook an egg and still others where you will once again need an asbestos pad.
The next thing is to stir slowly and often. You will need to sit there for the whole cooking period scraping the bottom of the skillet with a spatula. I recommend using a non-stick skillet and a heat-resistent, silicone rubber spatula. I stir about once every five seconds.
Rex himself says that 20 minute eggs are good enough to eat and 40 minute eggs are close to perfect.
Chef Daniel Patterson uses a poaching technique to make scrambled eggs:
I'd recommend this egg cooker from Lakeland. I've used mine every morning to cook 12 eggs and it saves messing around with pans full of boiling water. It can only do 7 at a time though and it's vicious because of the steam.
I actually cook my eggs in a frying pan without any oils or butter at all. I just crack an egg into the frying pan (it has Teflon, but I think it would work in a regular pan too) and turn it on medium-low heat. After a few minutes the egg will start puffing up, and it might "pop" a few bubbles. When one or 2 millimeters of the edge of the egg gets dark brown (the rest will stay white) you take a big shallow spoon or spatula (metal, plastic and silicone all work, metal is best) and lightly go around the edge of the egg to sort of lift it off the pan. Not the whole egg, just a bit of the edge. Go around the whole edge of the egg, then wait a little longer and carefully push your spoon/spatula all the way under the egg and flip it over. If you're using a plastic or silicon spoon/spatula you might need to use two so that you can pick it up without it breaking. If you want the yolk to be fully cooked, at right after you crack the egg you should poke a little hole in the yolk and squish it a bit so that some of the yolk spills out over the white. This is my favourite way of cooking eggs, and you don't get the extra calories from butter or oil. I hope you like it too!
I just fried an egg and used a little spray butter on the pan...it is zero calorie and worked great and tasted good, too.
