Old Lady Movie Night: 'The Devil Wears Prada'
Alright, guys, I'll be honest. Not every Old Lady Movie Night instalment will be a "classic" or a "'90s gem" because sometimes I just want to watch The Devil Wears Prada and I don't want to watch it alone. Is that so wrong? Is it a crime to, say, have us all sit together and channel our inner Miranda Priestly(s) and reflect on the times we went from thinking Andie was the hero to realizing how major Meryl Streep always is? Is it? No.
So that's what we're going to do. We're going to party like it's 1999 (or 2006) and bask in the warming glow of finding oneself in the wide world of fash-un. We're going to pretend 2006 was not only six years ago and really just embrace what "modern classic" really means (I still don't know). We're going to eat corn chowder (NOPE, kidding, that is gross) and wear our grandmother's skirts.
Clearly those were references to the movie that we should just sit back and watch already. LET'S DO THIS.
GOD, I love when movies begin with a montage. HOPPING RIGHT INTO IT, you know? Let's not mince words, let's just watch really stylish ladies make us wish we got up early in the morning and measured our almonds. (Joking – I would rather die than measure our almonds because I can't imagine not eating almonds like a regular person, AKA in bulk.) But still! Look at these gals. And then look at Andie not really brushing her hair for a job interview…? There is "casual" and then there is "You are going to a job interview – why aren't you brushing your hair?" which this is. I get that you've got good genes, Andie S, but even a ponytail or a bun would be a good call, I think.
2) Are you kidding me you don't know who Miranda Priestly is?
WOW, ANDIE. WOW. You don't know who she is? REALLY? Let's say that The Devil Wears Prada is based on Vogue and Anna Wintour. EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT THAT/SHE IS. Everyone! My mom? Who is 54? Knows exactly who both are, and she has never read a Vogue magazine in her life (I don't think). Am I out-Old Lady-ing myself if I get irritated that Andie didn't do her homework? The two rules of job interviews:
1) Know the person you are supposed to be having an interview with.
2) You don't talk about Fight Club.
3) Emily is unnecessarily mean
Hello, obvious statement of this article! Y U SO MEAN, EMILY?! I would walk right into that building, meet Emily and think, "You are out of your mind, angry British lady" and then I would leave and maybe work at a fast food place? So much hostility! THE WHOLE TIME. (Still love you, though, Emily, you rule.)
4) I wish I had even a fraction of the power as Miranda Priestly
Think about it: your facialist (eh?) ruptures a disk and EVERY PERSON you have EVER WORKED WITH is terrified of your very presence. Granted, most of us would not be terrifying and the fear would all be a myth, but think about it! Think about even being able to talk without an infliction of emotion. The more I say, the higher and faster-paced my voice goes. So you know Miranda Priestly? Imagine the opposite of that with a tendency to sometimes say "aboot".
"That's all."
5) "That's all."
I've been trying to make "thank you" my thing recently, but nobody thinks I'm done talking and I usually say it with about sixteen exclamation points, so the whole thing is lost. Anyone want to help me make "that's all" catch on? Has enough time passed that people will think it's original? Like I just came up with it because I've stopped putting up with people's crap? I said it quietly once and someone asked me to repeat myself and I said, "OH! Nothing. I gotta go! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and then glass shattered.
6) Stanley Tucci! THE MAN
Right? WHAT CAN'T YOU DO, STANLEY TUCCI? (Answer: nothing.) Also mean but you can't win them all. Solid as a rock, though. I would like to be his friend, so if you are reading this, Stanley Tucci, call me and we can hang and/or just watch a bunch of your movies.
7) LOL at "20-something life in NYC"
Just imagine I turned this into another critique of a certain show that premiered this week? (No, guys, I can't and won't I'm sorry I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE EVERYONE CALM DOWN IT IS A TV SHOW WHY IS EVERYONE GETTING SO MAD.) But seriously, Andie is supposed to be an undergrad graduate and she and her chef boyfriend live in a beautiful apartment in downtown NYC. And she's unemployed. HOW? Movie logic! I love it and pretend that it is real and I bask in it and I eat the $8 of jarlesburg (?) cheese because I'm lactose intolerant IRL but it's a movie so I do what I want.
8) Miranda Priestly rules
She. Rules. "From a pile of stuff." Okay fine, she's a little harsh, but you know what? SHE'S EARNED IT. Just wear less fur, maybe definitely.
I hear u, gurl.
9) Your clothes ARE hideous, Andie
GUYS. I'm sorry. I am being really mean and I don't mean (tee hee!) to be, but you work at a fashion magazine, Andie, and it's just like, maybe treat yourself to something that isn't a cable knit sweater I also got for 40% off when I used to work at a very large generic chain clothing store? Go to Value Village! $3 for something SUPER GREAT. What are you doing, Andie?! YOU WORK AT *THE* FASHION MAGAZINE. Gap, Banana Republic – they all have nice, wearable clothes. I feel so confused. And then she…
Okay, so have any of you seen Kell On Earth and/or read Kelly Cutrone's books or just really appreciate everything she says and does? She talks about how the fashion industry actually employs thousands of people and I agree, because if it wasn't for the fashion industry, I would not have been able to put myself through university (for the year that I went). How dare you laugh at the fashion industry, Andie! It doesn't have to be everything, but RUDE. YOUTHS, am I right? Also, everything Miranda says it's just like "YEAH, YOU TELL HER."
11) Also, just quit if you hate it so much?
Hands up if you have had a job that you once hated. And did you stay? PROBABLY NOT. So leave, Andie! I mean, I get magic happens after one year, but nobody is forcing you to keep the job that a lot of girls WOULD actually kill for. If Andie were my friend, I would really have to lecture her about making life choices that benefitted her and also deciding to either deal with her job or leave it. Like, Miranda has unrealistic expectations of you and you're obviously suffering because of it? Peace out! OR just deal with it and drink more wine than you normally would. Advice from me to you, Andie. Call me and we can talk. (Please excuse the space between this paragraph and the photo beneath it.)
BUT THEN THERE'S A MAKEOVER, AND IT'S LIKE, ANDIE YOU GO, GIRL. And then she's wearing every outfit in the history of fashion, and I want to throw everything out in my closet because nothing looks as good as outfit she wears when she gets her haircut and wears those boots. Does it help if I tell you I'm wearing a hoodie with tights and cut off denim shorts? (I'm talking to the movie's costume department, by the way, hoping they'll send me those boots I'm sure are actually too small for me but WHATEVER I do what I want.)
13) Why are Andie's friends the worst, though?
Hey fellow "career women"! Are we all under the understanding that sometimes work has to come first when you're proving yourself and your friends have to understand that? IMAGINE one of your friends took your phone when your boss was calling you? And imagine they got mad about not spending enough time at home? Am I wrong here? (I don't think I'm wrong here.) Also, you're in your early 20s! This is the time where you work really, really hard. THIS IS HOW IT ALL WORKS.
14) Christian is such a creep
Why aren't you talking like a normal person, Christian? Is this what "being hit on" looks like? "You'll never survive that job because you're a nice girl." Maybe YOU won't survive YOUR job because YOU'RE THE WORST, Christian Thompson. Is that even your name? I don't care! You are not worth the IMDB lookup. Go to bed.
Picture this: the only rule of thumb is not to go upstairs into someone's home. So what do you do? Go upstairs into someone's home! You listen to the person's 10-year-old twin girls who are OBVIOUSLY LYING, and you essentially trespass. WORST CASE scenario, you leave it on the wrong table and get in trouble but not NEARLY as much trouble as you are going to get in by walking into someone's living space and watching them fight with their husband. Guys, I think there's a reason she couldn't get a job anywhere else…?
16) And then she wastes the steak
Eat the steak! Why aren't you eating the steak? You throw the steak in the sink? ANDIE, WHY? THAT IS A DELICIOUS STEAK. Oh my GOD, I would kill for a steak right now, you don't even know, guys. Minus the chives, though, because gross.
17) And THEN there is this line which is just correct on every count:
18) Am I a bad person because if my boyfriend had to work on my birthday I would understand?
Like, Andie's supposed to be painted as some terrible/evil/career-focused shrew, but if it was my birthday and I was having a party and my boyfriend couldn't make it because of work I would say, "Okay! Well then let's hang out tomorrow or another time." Nate, you are being a baby. Lil (is that her friend's name?), you are being equally lame. IMAGINE ANDIE HAD TO WORK ON HER ACTUAL BIRTHDAY LIKE MOST ADULTS? Guys, what would happen. Would the world blow up? Would we realize we were all actually in the movie and we had suggested florals for spring?
"GROUNDBREAKING." – Miranda Priestly discussing my revelations
19) Andie could have just explained to Emily what is up
Okay, so it's not REALLY Andie's fault that Emily has obviously slipped at work. So I don't understand why Andie could have just taken Emily out for coffee and said, "Listen. Miranda wants me to go to Paris with her, and I'm sorry, but I need this job and you have to understand that." IS THAT WRONG? AM I MAKING A HUGE MISTAKE? Also, Emily, why were doing such a bad job? You were really smug and mean, and you've worked there forever so it's like, why don't you understand that your job demands more than you just making fun of Andie? I don't know, guys. There's a lot of holes in this scenario, and I don't know why there's not more communication happening. But I will say props to Miranda for making Andie do her dirty work, LIKE A BOSS.
20) But then Emily gets hit by a car and it's like, you couldn't have gone anyway?
Okay, now I KNOW this is wrong, but maaaaaaybe you don't need to tell Emily that you're going to Paris because she is bad at her job? And you could just say "You broke your leg, and obviously you can't go." And Emily would be like, "True" and Andie would be like "I'll bring you back some sweet finds" and Miranda wouldn't really care, so BOOM. So okay, I'm going to go write the sequel now because I think it's pretty much in the bag with my amazing plot developments.
21) Andie's fashion-savy pal is Harry on Mad Men
THE MORE YOU KNOW!!!11oneone!
22) Well, if this movie doesn't make you want to go to Paris, I DON'T KNOW WHAT DOES
You know all of those beautiful movies about Paris and about France and starring brilliant French actors and created by wonderful French filmmakers? WHO NEEDS THEM. We've got U2 and we've got footage from the couture shows and we've got that Christian guy being super awful in "the city of blinding light." HELLO, NURSE. Paris, this is your cotillion and we are all wearing wonderful dresses to celebrate your OFFICIAL DEBUT!
23) I feel legitimately sad when Miranda gets divorced
Because I like Miranda, okay? I LIKE HER. I don't care. (I care so much.) We don't know her! We don't know her life! She's lived one million years, killing unicorns and surviving on whatever elixir it is that their horns and manes give off. Who knows what she's been through. More than any of us, likely, because she was the one who killed the dinosaurs. And she still looked/looks exactly the same.
24) Okay, but can we talk about how this movie makes it seem like if you like to dress nice you're not "serious"?
Right? Like Andie has this moment of reflection where she's dressed in this great outfit doing her makeup, and then she reflects back on "the old Andie" and she's not dressed up, and it's like, WELL I mean, it's not like dressing nicely or wearing makeup makes you any less smart. DO WHAT YOU WANT, right ladies? ("LAAAADIEEESSS.") Obviously I am no expert and I have made this way more serious than it needs to be, but hey – if you want to wear makeup and heels and skirts you are no less a feminist/strong/smart lady than anyone who doesn't. TO EACH THEIR OWN! AH! FIST PUMP! DO WHAT YOU WANT, ANDIE AND EVERYONE.
25) But deep down Miranda and Andie are actually best friends
I'm going to skip over the whole Christian/Andie and Andie quitting plot device because I am out of points, and also because we all know that secretly, Miranda and Andie are best friends forever. The biggest BFFs of life, one (me) might say. Andie's all "Hey, I got another job" and Miranda's all like, "LOL I know let's go get Starbucks" and then they exchange that information through a secret nod and it's like, OH WE KNOW WHAT'S UP. They're actually just going to start their own magazine and it's going to be about everything I just wrote between points 1 to 24. That's right: this whole piece was just the VERY FIRST COLUMN for Miranda + Andie Best Pals Weekly.
And I am the EIC.

(see Part 1 here and Part 2 here)
It was time for a professional opinion. After a $2000 initial quote, I was not going back to Richardson Auto Body. An extensive search on Yelp yielded a number of very highly rated auto body repair shops. I looked particularly for reviews that spoke of honest work and appraisals of work needed. A number of calls, and I narrowed my search to a family-owned company in Brooklyn.
When I arrived, the owner's son took an immediate look around my vehicle. I told him exactly what had happened. Better wait for his father, the boss, to take a look. A few minutes later, the owner made a personal tour of my vehicle. I made no excuses and confessed my stupidity and embarrassment. He told me he saw this type of thing all the time. In one case, a repair had been done with CEMENT and fell out completely, shortly after the repair.
The owner referred to my auto body as basically RUINED. That's the word he used. He said they had sanded too far into the metal to rework the repair. Completely new body parts would need to be found – a new hood and one new fender. I told him that he seemed angrier than I was – he said that this type of thing made him furious. He ran a professional shop and paid good money for overhead: rent, taxes, employees, supplies, and machinery. His equipment included a $100,000 computerized painting station. And these gypsy repair scam artists were running around fleecing people, making money with no overhead and ruining vehicles on top of it. The owner would quote me in the next few days after locating the right body panels for my 23-year-old car. I had hoped a small, family-run shop would offer a reasonable price, however, after learning that I would need new body parts, I was not so optimistic.
A few days later, I received a call. Total cost with parts and painting: $2340. I told him that I would get back to him with a decision, knowing full well that I would not be doing the repair – it was just not worth it to spend that kind of money on such an old car.
I was down about the whole affair. I had apparently allowed two charlatans to ruin my vehicle. As I told the story to friends, nearly all said the same thing: Why not just let the repairs remain as done? It was not a terrible idea. However, it did mean traveling around in a vehicle that looked like an American Paint Horse, for all to see.
There would be a final resolution. I was headed to Connecticut to visit family for a party. I would be staying with my sister and my brother-in-law, Alan. He, along with his best friends Jay and Dan, were the most impressive and formidable group of mechanical geniuses I have ever met. Conversations with any pairing of them would inevitably veer towards hours long discussions of mechanical problems and solutions. They savored these kinds of problems. I also had an air conditioning problem in my car. After questioning me in detail and an in-depth conversation between Jay and Alan, a conclusion was reached, without ever seeing the vehicle.
On Sunday morning, Alan came outside to his driveway to look at my mess of a car. His reaction was not particularly negative, nor was he startled or shocked. Perhaps owing to his extensive repair and restoration of motorcycles and autos, seeing areas of mismatched body paint colors was only indicative of work in progress, not necessarily ruination. His analysis was that it appeared as if the vehicle had been repaired along standard lines with Bondo (a standard putty for auto body repair) or a material like it. We worked together initially, cleaning the repaired areas with razor blades. Then Alan began working with rubbing compounds – a fine abrasive used to repair scratches and restore finishes. His compounds were old and dried out – he suggested that I purchase fresh containers.
Recently, I purchased two cans of Turtle Wax rubbing compound (coarse and fine) and two microfiber cloths. Total cost – $11.50. Next will be an online purchase of spray paint, custom matched to my auto's original color. Another small investment and a little bit of elbow grease should complete the restoration.
So far, the body repair appears to be durable. Perhaps those two boys actually believed that they were doing a proper repair. Was it a scam or only a poor quality repair? A scam typically has a mal intent as a necessary component. Alan, whom I consider an expert, did not agree with the auto body repair shop I had visited. Time will tell if this was or was not a classic Gypsy Dent Repair…

Hi folks, i was wondering if anyone has clear and easy to follow tips / tutorials for designing a VTOL aircraft? mine never do well at all and would appreciate the help
Hi folks, i was wondering if anyone has clear and easy to follow tips / tutorials for designing a VTOL aircraft? mine never do well at all and would appreciate the help
First off let me say hello,
There are several ways to make vtol aircraft some easier than others depending if your using mods.
These tips are good for stock builds.
Have all of your engine point down straight and control your aircraft with small tilts in the direction you wish to move this is the hardest but most fun option. Be warned at least 4 engines is needed for this design to be stable.
The second is again 4 engines with then angled slightly off center. So the two at the front point forwards with the engin at about a 35-45 degree angle facing the nose and the dame for the rear engines towards the tail. Stick a 5 engin on the back in the normal place to move forward.
This is the design I have used in the mox industries thread in my Sig.
The 3 is a small light craft with just 2/3 engines. 2 on the end of the wings pointing down ans one on the rear of the plane for forward momentum.
I hope this helps.
MoX Industries thread - http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/...ll-STOCK-PARTS
A tail-sitter aircraft balanced on a single engine also works.
And sufficient tilted wings will give you an almost-VTOL effect where you can take off and land over short distances and go very slowly without falling out of the sky.
I find using the avionics package instead of the regular ASAS helps a lot with control. It will keep the craft stable, but still allow you to turn.
VTOLs are pretty easy to build but require some trial and error to get the engines perfectly centered on the craft. For vertical take off I use no more than 2 jet engines because you can disable the one or both with a single click. Also the avionics sas is best imo because it alows for slight adjustments in pitch roll and yaw which help while hovering. While testing mine I disable the horizontal engine and slowly increase speed of the vertical engines until the craft starts to lift off the ground. I'm looking for the slowest climb possible because sometimes even a balanced vtol will pitch slightly during takeoff. Then enable sas and check for balance. If it pitches foward go back to the SPH and move the engines foward. If the craft pitches back then move the engines back. Keep adjusting untill it's balanced. I included a couple .craft files for you to look at.
"The duct tape has failed! ABORT!"
You can disable engines by clicking on them? That's news to me Thanks for the craft files too, im sure i'll be able to learn a thing or two from those. My main problem is pitching forwards on all of my aircraft, so thanks for the balancing advice too
if u want something that does not have to waste weight and can land multiple times, use a tilting engine VTOL. they are hard to make and unstable, but worth it in the end. i suggest tilting engines on the wings or on the fuselage then the wing attaches to the engine if this makes any sense u can make a tilt engine VTOL.
Two engines worked fine for me:
Takeoff and landing is always a bit hard, but just don't go crazy on engine power!
I use structural panels in the wings to make really short engines, they look amazing If done right

After a contested hearing at the Houston County Courthouse on Thursday, May 22, Judge Pam Foster Fletcher denied a Palestine man's request to be released from prison on probation.
DeArthur Pinson Jr., 23, of Palestine, was sentenced to 10 years in prison in November 2007 for a February 2006 aggravated robbery at the Doc's Country Store between Crockett and Latexo.
Texas criminal law allows a defendant to file a motion to impose community supervision, or probation, when a judge sentences a defendant to 10 years or less in Texas Department of Corrections.
His defense attorney, Rusk lawyer Daphne Session, filed a motion asking that he be released from prison on probation.
Testifying on his behalf at
the hearing on that motion were his mother and sister.
The motion was opposed by Houston County District Attorney David E. Cervantes, who called as witnesses the victim of the robbery, Jessica Zwar; the victim's mother, Lisa Zwar; and Department of Public Safety Trooper Bob Reeves.

Re: Rugby Union 2013 Thread
^That makes two of us, then
The Crusaders won at home against a much improved Hurricanes squad from last week, in fact there was only one point separating the two sides until 75 minutes in, all three of the Cantabrian tries coming from Hurricanes errors, 25-17 at full time. Damn, I was hoping for an upset, can't have everything I guess
And surprise surprise, the Highlanders coughed up a 24 point halftime lead to lose 35-34 to the Rebels in Melbourne, which really just sums up their entire season in one game. At least both games last night were entertaining enough, I'm hoping tonight's Blues vs Chiefs game will be as well because I'm going to Eden Park to watch it in person

Friday, July 30, 2010
© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Brian Paglia
The questions Stockbridge coach Kevin Whitley heard most often when he left Creekside to take the vacant Tigers job two years ago are the same questions he hears now.
Considering the success Whitley had for six years at Creekside -- going 52-14 and making five consecutive state playoff appearances -- how could he leave for a program that went 1-9 the year before and hasn't made a playoff since the 1980s?
Considering the talent prevalent on Creekside teams on a consistent basis -- and with the twin brothers of former Creekside star and NFL rookie Eric Berry joining the Seminoles this season -- how could he leave for a program that hasn't had an all-state player since 2005?
"People ask me that all the time," Whitley said.
Whitley said he believes there will be a day when fans won't ask him why he left Creekside and the comforts of success he helped establish there. But, Whitley said to reach that day will take much work.
Whitley believes that work is starting to show itself in the effort and attitude of the team. After a tumultuous first season -- the Tigers lost their first six games and starting quarterback mid-season due to disciplinary reasons -- Whitley said this team has bought into his expectations.
"They're going to see a different Stockbridge," Whitley said. "It's not going to be the same old Stockbridge. They way we walk. The way we talk. The way we play. We're just going to have a better attitude. That attitude should translate to hustling and making the extra step, not being selfish."
Said senior linebacker Matt Clayton: "We have a different mentality than the seniors last year. I guess they were OK with losing. We're not."
Said senior slotback Marcellas Pope: "We're more focused this year. We're going to have better leaders this year. We're just tired of losing."
Losing was the topic at a sleepover for seniors that Whitley hosted this summer, a tradition he brought with him from Creekside. Whitley spoke to players about the commitment and attitude it takes to end the losing.
"You have to believe you deserve to win," Whitley said. "Just not be happy with your current circumstances. That's what we're trying to push to these guys, that we're just as good as anybody."
A night at Whitley's home offered Stockbridge's seniors a rare view into a different side of their coach.
They saw him as a husband. They saw him as a father playing with his daughter. They saw his memorabilia from playing in the Arena Football League and pictures of when he sported an afro.
"When I saw him in that environment as a family man, I was like, 'Yea, that's cool,'" Stockbridge senior cornerback Sha-Ron Anthony said. "He was with his kids the whole night and playing with them and stuff, and he still took time to talk to us and express how he felt about what we should do."
Players said it was the first time they had done something together as a group, which they considered a signal of cohesiveness developing.
"It was really for us to come together," Clayton said, "so we can all have one mindset as a senior group. We're the leaders, so we have to be all on one accord."
"It showed that we're becoming closer," Pope said, "because it was the first time that we've ever gotten together and done something like that."
And it was a sign to Whitley that Stockbridge can change. Even after going 2-8 last season, Whitley remains as convinced as ever that Stockbridge has the capacity to become a successful program.
"I didn't look at Stockbridge as right now," Whitley said. "I looked at it as the potential of what it could become and I believed in what I saw."
Whitley said he did his homework before he applied for the Stockbridge job. He considered the program's history and the school's surrounding community. A big selling point was the proximity of Stockbridge Middle School and the chance to develop a feeder system of players to the high school, a luxury Whitley never had at Creekside.
But all along, Whitley knew it would take time.
"It's almost like a guy looking for diamonds," Whitley said. "When you're digging in that dirt, you're going to get discouraged if you don't see what's ahead. But, after doing my homework ... I believed that if I just push a little dirt away, there's going to be a diamond.
"I'm willing to wait until I get to the diamond."

On the job training or OJT is one method by which students is given a chance to apply the theories and computations that they have learned from the school. It also helps the student to acquire knowledge and skills by performing in actual work setting. Colleges and Universities require their students to undergo such training within a specific number of hours as part of the curriculum. For the students, an OJT or internship program provides opportunities to go through the actual methodologies of a specific job using the real tools, equipments and documents.

Vicki Gunvalson just revealed her "settled in" face after having numerous cosmetic procedures, including a chin implant, cartilage reconstruction on her nose, and fat injections in her cheeks.
So ... how's she look? Well, not too different actually.
The "Real Housewives of Orange County" star debuted her new mug on "Watch What Happens Live" with Andy Cohen on Monday night (left), where she revealed why she got surgery in the first place.
"A lot of people were saying my nose turned up and I looked like Miss Piggy," Vicki told Andy. "It made me self conscious ... it was hurtful."
"I had fat taken [from] my sides put in my face and then they put a little implant," she added. "I just closed my eyes and said 'Do what you think is gonna look good' and they did it."
Gunvalson seems happy with the transformation, which officially puts her in the "Real Housewives" Plastic Surgery Club. See what other stars have had done in the gallery above!

Who Offers Free LPN Classes?
Are you thinking about enrolling in classes in order to become a Licensed Nurse Practitioner (LPN)? Do you have reservations about applying for nursing school because of the costs involved? If you want to become an LPN but you do not have enough money for your program, there may actually be ways to go to nursing school for free. Here's how!
Government-Funded Pell Grants
Perhaps the best and most popular way to attend LPN classes for free today is by applying for a government-funded Pell Grant. Pell Grants are funds that are offered to students who are enrolled in higher education facilities and need help with the costs of their education. These funds do not have to be paid back. Typically, a Pell Grant will cover your tuition, books and various other educational costs. If you wish to apply for a Pell Grant, you will need to complete an online financial aid application and meet the following eligibility criteria:
- Proof of Financial Need
- Proof of United States Citizenship
- Valid Social Security Number
- Enrollment of at Least Half Time in a Certificate or Degree Program
- Satisfactory Academic Progress
- High School Diploma or GED
Federal Stafford Loans
If you do not meet all of the requirements for a Pell Grant, you may want to consider applying for a Federal Stafford Loan. These funds are available to nursing students who are enrolled in an approved educational facility for least a half-time program. You will need to pay these funds back at a certain point after graduation, but they thankfully carry a low interest rate. If you find that you cannot make the scheduled payments, there are various repayment options available. While many students are able to defer their payments, you may also be eligible for loan consolidation, forbearance or even loan forgiveness in some instances.
Trustee Awards
Are you a good student? If so, you may be eligible for what is known as a Trustee Award. Many colleges and universities offer Trustee Awards to incoming and/or current students that maintain high grade point averages. The requirements for these awards may vary from one school to the next, and some may not offer them at all. You will want to consult with a financial aid adviser in the school of your choice to find out if this option is available. You do not need to be a low-income student in order to apply for these awards. However, you must present proof of outstanding academic achievement. The amount you may receive from a Trustee Award depends on your school of choice and its available funds at the time of your enrollment.
Finding available money for your college education can be quite difficult if you are living on a budget. However, there are some great ways to fund your LPN classes if you know where to look. Do not let money concerns stop you from acquiring your training! Apply for one of the programs above, and start your LPN program today!

H & M Catches On To Cycling
Clothing giant H&M (Hennes and Mauritz) have taken to cycling as of late, launching a full line dedicated to cycling.
First off, we're not surprised it's a European company who are the ones to go and do something smart like this, but secondly, consider yourself warned, some of the color choices aren't for the faint of heart.
Thirdly, If the sound of skidding makes you cringe, you may want to direct your attention elsewhere…

Door to Door Electricity Solicitation Effort Underway NOT Affiliated w/Community Aggregation Efforts
Published on August 23 2012 1:48 pm
Last Updated on July 14 2013 12:07 pm
Written by Greg Sapp
At least one company engaging in door-to-door solicitation as an electrical supplier in the City of Effingham is NOT affiliated with the electrical aggregation efforts in the news recently.
Effingham City Administrator Jim Arndt Thursday said there is at least one company engaging in door-to-door solicitation as an electrical supplier in Effingham and other towns within Effingham County. Arndt said the company or companies are not affiliated with any of the Municipalities Electrical Aggregation Programs that have been publicized over the last few weeks.
Arndt reminded that the Effingham City Council recently hired a company called Good Energy to start community outreach and perform the electrical bidding for Effingham city residents. There will be a referendum on November 6 requesting permission to bid the City's electricity for its residents under the approved plan. The bid is expected to occur in December and customers would be switched over in January.
Arndt said residents do not have to sign up for the City's Electrical Aggregation Program. Residents will be offered an opportunity to "opt out" of the program if they wish. Any company asking you to "sign up" or make any advance payments is not affiliated with the City-sponsored program.
Additional information about the City-sponsored electrical aggregation program will be available within the next few weeks.

As LowKick reported earlier this week, Chael Sonnen was on FOX Sports Live Tuesday night and the host asked "The American Gangster" for his opinion on the recent Mayweather / Alvarez fight. In response, Sonnen began to wax with one of his usual witticisms and in doing so, used entertainer Rihanna as a metaphor to describe his thoughts on Floyd Mayweather Jr. and his performance in the Alvarez fight.
As LowKick also reported, there was a bit of a backlash regarding Sonnen's comments and subsequent to that, FOX Sports issued an apology on Sonnen's behalf, calling his remarks "an inappropriate attempt at humor" and that the network itself, regretted them being made.
As it turns out, FOX Sports wasn't the only entity / one that thought Sonnen's remarks were in poor taste.
Yesterday in Toronto, Dana White weighed in on the subject at the UFC 165 pre-fight media scrum and his advice to Sonnen was / is to knock off the wise cracks.
In comment, White stated:
"It's at the point where I'm not upset, but Chael is a smart guy, he's a funny guy, he's a talented guy and has a huge future. He's just got to stop with the (cracks), you know? First of all, the joke wasn't that funny. He's not a comedian and you can't make fun of domestic violence or any other thing. He's a sports commentator and he's got to knock that s**t off. He's got to stop. He's got to stop or it's not going to be good. Chael needs to stop the comedy and do what he's on that show to do. He's great at it. He's super talented. Leave the jokes to the comedians."
Yet, is White correct in telling Sonnen that he should leave the jokes to the comedians?
Let's consider the case.
First, the reason Chael Sonnen is on FOX to begin with, is because of his sense of humor and the "Sonnen-isms" he spouts. 99% of the time Sonnen is the star of any stage, panel or set that he's on and as such, is a huge draw. As example of his value and allure, we can point to the UFN 26 pre-fight press conference, in Boston; he stole the show. Sonnen gave a much needed, spirited and articulate defense of both the sport and the promotion, in a moment when it needed it; good for him.
Not only is he funny, but he's also very insightful and he speaks his mind. Those are the qualities that make Sonnen very popular with the fans. It's not his 6 & 4 (UFC) record or even his willingness to fight anyone between 185 & 205, and at the drop of a hate. It's his humor, the way he puts things and the fact that we never know what's going to come out of his mouth, and that he's fearless in doing it.
If the argument now becomes that Sonnen has to watch everything he says, then he won't be the same Chael and it will hurt, not help, FOX and its ratings.
Second and in terms of White not thinking the joke was funny, it was. Hence, the entire panel laughed, as did I. When people genuinely laugh at something and the panel did, then it's an excellent indicator of "something" being comical. My guess is as well, that if White were to be honest, he too probably laughed when and if, he saw the clip.
On this point, his stance is probably more predicated on his relationship with FOX and the problems that the UFC recently went through in Boston, as much as truly believing that Sonnen's remarks were out of bounds or over the line.
Further still, when we consider the Rihanna / Brown case, the facts of the matter are that she took him back and Brown failed to nurse any of the community service time, which had been adjudicated to him.
Beyond that, Rihanna & Brown have been the butt-end of jokes by every late night comic, syndicated talk show host, gossip column, magazine and blog, for years. Chael Sonnen is not the first, nor is he going to be the last, to make a Rihanna jokes and he's certainly not the bad guy, here.
In my opinion, the moment Rihanna took Chris Brown back, a guy that hit her and seems to have serious issues with violence and his temper, she and anyone who wishes to defend her on the subject of her being hit by Brown, and that includes White, immediately and forever abrogated their rights to being offended by jokes being made at her expense, on the subject.
Finally, we've all heard Dana himself, making some pretty nasty remarks in jest and sometimes not, about referees, fighters, managers, other promotion heads and a whole slew of people. Yet, he's never chastised himself about it. On this point, the pot is calling the kettle black and White's own hands are not clean enough to give him standing on the matter.
As a big believer in free speech, a lover of comedy and good MMA analysis, I think Sonnen should simply be left alone to be Sonnen, and that FOX and White should just accept him for what he is, which, aside from Joe Rogan, is the best and funniest on-air personality in MMA.

Building churches to focus on ourselves
Catholic World News - May 25, 2011
Earlier this month Cardinal Raymond Burke criticized the tendency to focus "exaggerated attention on the human aspect of the sacred liturgy." In the National Catholic Register, Tim Drake comments on how some parish churches encourage that unhealthy tendency.

Indeed, this is part of the "horizontalizing" of the Mass that has contributed to doctrinal confusion and even dissent, as the faithful increasingly see themselves, not God, as the locus of liturgical action. It's all about US! The Novus Ordo Mass, valid as it is, has contributed to this by turning the priest to face the people and skewing the liturgy into a folksy self-love-in.

Rent-The-Frizzdrobe: The Fashion Your Lifestyle Craves
I went on a real adult date to the Planetarium a few weeks ago. I hadn't been to the Planetarium since I was in 4th grade. I found myself asking "What do I wear on such an occasion?" Then I thought about my old pal Ms. Frizzle. She would know exactly what to wear.
Ms. Frizzle probably has the largest wardrobe of any animated character on television. I mean, think about it – most cartoon people wear the same thing every episode. Not the Frizz. Every episode, she has a matching ensemble to go with her amazing lesson plan.
My date would have been perfect if I could have done Rent-The-Runway with Ms. Frizzle's wardrobe. Sure it doesn't exist, but I could start the company. I've always wanted to be a small business owner. I'd call it- Rent-The-Frizzdrobe.
Maybe you're thinking, "Rent-The-Frizzdrobe? I don't have enough occasions for a site like that. I think I saw these looks during NYFW and I just can't pull them off." Sure you can, we all can. I've provided some examples below:
Science Frizz: This incredible number will make you feel like hot science royalty. It's covered in magnets, light bulbs, rockets and test tubes, which is a super slimming pattern. You know, for those days when you just ponder the way things work? Like the space program, electricity and how cool it is that you have fridge magnets. This is the dress for you. It's also not a bad way to start conversation with a potential sig other/science lover at a coffee shop. Rent-The-Frizzdrobe wouldn't let you down.
Reading Frizz: Shoot, you just realized book club is tonight and you haven't read the sister series to Girl with the Dragon Tattoo? You're going to need a quick fix. That's why the reading dress is perfect. The clever pattern of "A"s, books and numbers will probably be so academically intimidating to your friends that they won't even notice you're eating all the hummus and pita chips instead of answering the super engaging discussion questions. Plus, there are magnifying glasses on the dress showing that you are a considerate person and understand there are some people in the room who just don't have 20/20 vision.
Nature Frizz: Are you a city kid? Do you have a fear of coming into contact with green vegetation because you think it might be poison ivy, even though it's just grass? It doesn't mean you can't be adventurous and take a walk through a park. This look is chic and made of super protective heavy duty canvas. The hard hat is not only a great accessory, but it will protect you from falling objects, like leaves. There are tons of fun outdoorsy icons on the pants and it comes with a tool belt. You don't even have to use them and they'll still look super cool.
Planets Frizz: Are you in mourning because Pluto isn't a planet? Do you think your BF is out of this world? If the answer is yes, I'd really consider renting the planets dress. This celestial gown is covered with moons, stars and planets. There is nothing like showing the people in your life how over the moon they are by wearing something so literal. Thanks to Rent-The-Frizzdrobe, now you can!
Bug Frizz: Whoah okay, were you checking your mattress for bed bugs again? Oh no, now you have them?! Then this is the perfect outfit for you. This dress is so swell you won't even notice your bed bugs. Plus, why woud you want to wear your own clothes while you get rid of a pest? Rent-The-Frizzdrobe cares about you. Maybe one day we'll have Magic Zip Bus so you can rent the Bee.
Hopefully as you get ready for the weekend ahead, you'll examine your plans and take a second to think about what could be available to you at Rent-The-Frizzdrobe – if the site were ever really a thing.
For research purposes, what's your favorite look? What look is best suited for your lifestyle? Probably all of them.
You're Welcome,

It is now a worldwide event, with 450 cities in 116 countries celebrating free, live music by amateurs and professionals alike.

People scramble to meet Covered California deadline
A surge of last-minute activity slowed but didn't paralyze the Covered California online enrollment system insurance exchange, officials said.
That means the 11:59 p.m. Tuesday deadline should stand, said Anne Gonzales, spokeswoman for the insurance marketplace created by President Barack Obama's health reform.
"We have no policies even being developed ... for people who get in after 11:59 p.m.," Gonzales said Tuesday. "The deadline is tonight."
Two weeks ago, a deluge of enrollees caused systemic online issues, blocking some people from enrolling and causing Covered California officials to offer a grace period for people unable to finish the process.
Gonzales said Tuesday's enrollment activity brought periodic computer slowdown and peak hold times as long as 32 minutes for phone callers.
"But we're still seeing people get through," she said. "There's no systemic problems."
People who don't make the deadline will have to wait until 2015 to obtain insurance unless they lose a job, get married, give birth, leave prison or undergo another life-changing event that qualifies them for special enrollment.
They could also face a fine of $95 or a percentage of household income, whichever is greater. The income formula involves 1 percent of annual income minus a deduction.
People who meet the standards of an expanded Medi-Cal system can enroll in the system year-round.
More than 1.2 million people enrolled in plans through Covered California in a six-month enrollment period that began Oct. 1. Final figures could be released later this week, said Gonzales.
But as enrollment in new plans brought coverage to the uninsured, it also triggered confusion and an always present divide between supporters and critics.
On Tuesday, the confusion continued as people tried a last time to calculate premiums, some on their own and others with the help of enrollment counselors. Martha Macias, who works at a fluff and fold business in Thousand Oaks, said she did the calculations on her own using coveredca.com and was convinced premiums for her and her husband would be far more than she could afford. She had no plans to meet the deadline.
"It's not because I don't want to," she said. "I can't. I prefer to eat than to have health insurance."
Jessie Bitela who owns a beauty salon was told her family of four likely qualifies for an expanded Medi-Cal system, meaning she can enroll after Tuesday.
"I've never had insurance before. I don't even know how it works," said Bitela, who was born in Mexico. "In my culture, if you have money you can go to a doctor and take care of yourself. If you don't have any money, you die."
