- Post-Amnesty Penalty: We impose a penalty when your organization owes new or additional tax on a tax year that qualified for tax amnesty. The penalty is equal to 50 percent of the interest that accrued on the tax assessment from the original due date of tax to March 31, 2005. You cannot protest this penalty. You can file a claim for refund of this penalty only on the grounds that Franchise Tax Board did not properly compute the amount of the penalty. (R&TC Section (19777.5(a)(2))
- Delinquent Penalty: If you do not file your organization's tax return by the extended due date, we impose a penalty of 5 percent of the tax due, after applying any payments and credits made on or before the original return due date, for each month or part of a month the return is late. The maximum penalty is 25 percent. We impose the penalty from the original due date of the return. (R&TC Section 19131)
- Demand to File Penalty: If we send you a demand to file your organization's tax return and you do not file it, we impose a penalty of 25 percent of the tax liability before applying any payments or credits. Therefore, your organization may owe penalties and interest even if its tax return shows that a refund is due. This penalty is in addition to the 25 percent delinquent penalty. (R&TC Section 19133)
- Underpayment and Monthly Penalty: We impose a penalty if you do not pay the total amount due shown on your organization's return by the original due date. The penalty is 5 percent on the unpaid tax, plus 0.5 percent on the unpaid tax for each month or part of a month it remains unpaid. The maximum penalty is 25 percent of the unpaid tax. (R&TC Section 19132)
- Underpayment of Estimated Tax Penalty: We impose a penalty if your organization does not pay, pays late, or underpays an estimated tax installment. We calculate the penalty on the unpaid amount from the due date of the estimated tax installment to the date we receive your payment, or to the due date of the return, whichever is earlier. (R&TC Section 19142-19161)
Extension of time to file
The extension allows you more time to file the return, not an extension of time to pay any taxes that may be due.
We will grant an automatic 6-month extension to file a return if both of the following conditions exist:
- Your organization is not suspended on the original due date.
- You file your organization's return on or before the extended due date.

(MCCAMMON, ID) – A brush fire along I-15 near McCammon kept area firefighters busy Monday night. The fire started about a mile north of the Highway 30 interchange on the east side of the Interstate. Investigators are still unsure what started the fire, though they believe it was likely human-caused. Travelers were urged to avoid the area until the flames could be contained. As of Monday evening officials from agencies in McCammon and Inkom said the fire was mostly extinguished.

Area-Inspired Charm
Balcones del Atlantico was the area's first international luxury hotel development. The property was constructed using local materials, and the staff members work with a number of community organizations on projects such as coral reef regenesis. "I wanted something that was the absolute antithesis of what you find in other parts of the Dominican Republic, something that's rooted in the place that it's in," says Dominican developer Máximo Bisonó, the property's owner. Spread out across 100 acres on a half-mile of beach are the 86 two- and three-bedroom villas (the property operates as a condo hotel) surrounded by manicured tropical gardens and pools with swim-up bars.

Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Hamas threatened to resume its suicide bomb attacks on Israel Thursday after the Israeli Air Force struck a Hamas facility in the Gaza Strip. Later, the air force struck a vehicle carrying Hamas terrorists, the army confirmed.
In response, Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida was quoted as saying that "the Zionist enemy has declared war." Ubaida added that "all options are open, including martyrdom [suicide] operations."
Israelis are fed up with Hamas' continual rocket attacks -- more than 70 rockets fired in the last two days. The border city of Sderot is taking the brunt of them, and the Israeli government said this week it would "find a way to respond" to the attacks.
Israel's limited response came on Thursday with the air strikes. In addition, a few Israeli tanks rolled into the Gaza Strip in an apparent show of force. But the Israeli government said Thursday's moves are not part of a large-scale incursion.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met with his security cabinet on Wednesday and decided on a "harsh and severe response" to the rocket fire.
But as of midday Thursday, at least 13 rockets had been fired at Israel, including one that hit a school.
Olmert's spokeswoman Miri Eisen said Israel's policy of restraint in Gaza had come to an end. "We restrained ourselves for five months out of respect to the Palestinian President [Mahmoud Abbas]," Eisen said by telephone. But Israel intends to defend its citizens, she said.
Last November, Israel agreed not to carry out operations inside the Gaza Strip, despite continual provocations from the other side.
Since Israel evacuated all Gaza Strip settlements in the summer of 2005, Olmert has been reluctant to re-enter the area, even though Israeli intelligence officials say Hamas is conducting a massive arms buildup there. One official was quoted this week as saying that the situation in Gaza poses a strategic threat to Israel.
Most experts agree that a full-scale ground invasion eventually will be needed to dismantle the terrorist infrastructure in Gaza and get rid of the tons of weaponry and ammunition there.
Civilians suffering
Meanwhile, civilians on both sides are suffering.
The Jerusalem Post offered eyewitness accounts from the rocket-pelted Israeli town of Sderot and from Palestinians caught in the cross-fire in the Gaza Strip. Those eyewitness reports appeared side-by-side in Thursday's edition.
In Gaza, Associated Press journalist Ibrahim Barzak, 30, said that he had never seen the situation so bad.
"Today I have seen people shot before my eyes, I heard the screams of terrified women and children in a burning building, and I argued with gunmen who wanted to take over my home," Barzak wrote.
According to the al-Jazeera website, Gaza has turned into a "ghost town," with terrified people hiding indoors from the Hamas-Fatah battles raging outside.
Al Jazeera quoted one store owner as saying he didn't understand what the security forces are fighting over. The store owner said he expects the violence to subside eventually, then start up again. "We're in a maelstrom and I can't really see a way out," he was quoted as saying.
In Israel, Masha Rifkin, an American student who is volunteering in Sderot, described the hysterical reaction of one young mother pushing a baby carriage when the alarm sounded to warn of incoming rockets.
"What do you picture when you read about Sderot's 'anxiety victims?'" Masha wrote. "It's this woman, convulsing, flailing. It's her inability to think rationally - to protect her child. She was only able to collapse, beating the ground."
Israel's Defense Ministry temporarily evacuated about 250 residents of Sderot for their own protection on Thursday.
US says 'stop it'
The United States is urging rival Palestinian factions to end the violence plaguing the Gaza Strip, but the factions aren't listening.
"We're concerned about the violence in Gaza," State Department deputy spokesman Tom Casey said at a May 16 briefing. "We want to see that stop."
Dozens of militants have been killed in four days of clashes between Hamas forces loyal to Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh and Fatah forces loyal to President Mahmoud Abbas.
The Hamas-Fatah violence comes two months after the two sides entered into a national unity government that was intended to stop the in-fighting and end an international boycott of the Hamas-led P.A.
Casey said the violence is counterproductive for the Palestinians. "This is something that certainly does nothing to help advance the cause of the Palestinian people," he said. "It certainly doesn't help bring them any closer to achieving the Palestinian state that people want and desire, and it certainly doesn't help the humanitarian situation for the Palestinian people."
Casey also condemned the Hamas rocket attacks on southern Israel. "It's a fundamental obligation of the Palestinian Authority to stop them," he said.
Casey called on all parties to work with Abbas to calm the situation. The U.S is backing Abbas as a moderate, but many inside Israel say that's a mistake.

Mommy and Daddy said I was really sick. They took me to this really nice vet and they said I had been struck with a really bad case of mastitis. They said that I could be put into the doggie hospital with lots of IVs and nasty doctor stuff but they werent sure if it would make me 100% percent again. After a lot of crying and hugging, Mommy and Daddy thought it would be better if I were put to rest. They told me it wasnt because I was a bad dog, it was because it was better for me. They also said that it was unfair to make me miserable just because they want to keep me.
But everyday, I can see my Daddy playing with my puppy and I am glad to see he is happy.

work smart and devise methods that will free-up your time to enjoy your life.
In my role as a business success consultant, I meet business owners who are
totally stressed simply because they have yet to understand what makes them and
their business flourish.
The purpose of this Special Report is to start YOUR journey to success. In the
pages that follow, I will share some key points with you, but realize that whatever
it is you wish to achieve can take quite some time. In itself, this is not a problem.

that is causing you to achieve the success you are currently having.
Now, if the success you are having is not quite as good as you would wish, this
Special Report is definitely for you.
Read it with an open mind. Try not to make an early judgment as to whether or
not what it says will or will not work for you. The key here is having an open mind.

habits you have. Your habits really get in the way of achieving greater success.

How many federal holidays do we need to observe?
Just one month into the year and there already have been two federal holidays, New Year's Day and Martin Luther King Jr. Day. There will be eight more observed before 2011 ends.
It could be time to take a look at these holidays, how they are observed and whether it is necessary to mark each as a federal holiday.
On these days, federal and state government offices are closed, along with post offices and schools. Banks usually have the option to stay open or to close.
None gives a day off from work for everybody. There are stores and service businesses that not only stay open but also profit from some holidays, such as stores that try to attract customers with sales events, the most offensive being Memorial Day sales, considering the original intent of the observance.
Here's our suggested lineup of federal holidays.
Jan. 1 gives many of us a day off to start the year, recover from New Year's Eve, and marks the end of the generic "Holiday Season." It can stay.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is the newest, first observed in 1986. Since the late 1990s it has been celebrated also as a day of community service. While we agree that Dr. King deserves the honor, we don't agree that it should be yet another day when schools, an even some libraries, are closed. Wouldn't it be beneficial to students to have the school day dedicated to learning about Dr. King and the Civil Rights movement and participating in service projects?
With no disrespect meant to Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, Presidents Day, originally designated as Washington's Birthday, is unnecessary. Again, here's an opportunity for schools to concentrate on a special topic for the day. Students do not need to be home or at the mall that day. Having no mail delivery and no access to banks and post offices says nothing about our reverence for these historic figures.
We'll keep Memorial Day as an all-American observance — to remember our war dead, a number that is still growing, not to kick off the summer.
Also all-American are Independence Day and Labor Day. We vote to keep those also, as summer fun days.
When the Monday closest to the original Columbus Day comes around in October, schools are back in session so let's not close the doors. It can be viewed as politically incorrect to be in favor of having a federal holiday for someone who did not technically discover America, as people were already living there, or to be opposed to a day that means Italian pride to so many people. Again, not needed as a federal holiday; make it a theme day at schools.
With Veterans Day there's a chance again to mix the occasion with education. Some schools do invite veterans to speak to the students around Veterans Day, still observed according to tradition on Nov. 11, so why not do it on that day? Keep the schools open, cut back on the sales promotions.
Thanksgiving — an all-American feast day, the start of The Holidays. Keep it.
Christmas as a federal holiday takes on a different meaning than Christmas as a holy day. We'll keep it.

A South Carolina county councilman who founded an especially rabid Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) chapter is under fire for allegedly steering a $400,000 government contract to his daughter and then giving the county's administrator – also a SCV official – a $1.14 million buyout that was more than twice the amount left on his three year contract.
Where is all of this Rebel boondoggling taking place? Anderson County, of course.
Ron Wilson, who serves as District Six Councilman as well as Commander of the Manse Jolly Camp of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, is rumored to have named former county administrator Joey Ray Preston the adjutant of his SCV organization in exchange for the taxpayer-funded perks.
From the Williamston Journal:
According to documents obtained from Anderson County, a lucrative consulting contract was signed by the county and a consulting firm owned by Allison Schaum, the daughter of District Six Councilman Ron Wilson, just three weeks before Wilson unilaterally arranged a $1.14 million buyout of former county administrator Joey Preston's contract …
"I instructed our attorney to work something out with Mr. Preston so that we could move forward,†said Wilson at the November 18, 2008 meeting. Wilson said he acted as an individual Council member and not as the chairman of the personnel committee. He later said he was acting as both, a discrepancy that has yet to be explained.
That "something†Wilson instructed attorney Bright to work out with Preston's attorney was a buyout agreement which gave Preston $1.14 million in compensation and benefits, as well as ownership of the
Chevrolet Denali which he had driven as county administrator."
A Chevy Denali, too? Nice …
As hard as it is to believe, there are actually governments on earth that are more tragically backward than the one that runs our state (on an 1895 Constitution, no less).
The only problem? They happen to be South Carolina's local school boards and municipal governments.
Of course as it we said before, this is happening in Anderson County, which is about as surprising as the gravity currently holding you to the earth.

***UPDATE*** Unthinkable: The Alzheimer's Epidemic will re-air Saturday, May 7 at 8pm EDT/PDT
Larry King is set to host a series of hour-long specials on CNN — the first, "Unthinkable: The Alzheimer's Epidemic," airs Sunday, May 1, at 8 p.m. EDT.
Be sure to tune in as King discusses Alzheimer's disease, who gets it and why, and the race to find effective treatments and a possible cure. King will be joined by our very own Maria Shriver, former First Lady Laura Bush, actor Seth Rogen, TV host Leeza Gibbons, football star Terrell Owens, CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta, and others touched by the disease.
Alzheimer's is being called the disease of the 21st century as an estimated 5.4 million people have been diagnosed with it. It is the sixth-leading cause of death across all ages in the United States, but many Americans still do not know much about this illness.
Take a look at this preview clip of Larry King's interview with Maria.
Maria Shriver has become one of the nation's leading advocates for families struggling with Alzheimer's. Her father, Sargent Shriver, was diagnosed with the disease in 2003, finally passing away earlier this year at the age of 95. In 2009, she executive produced The Alzheimer's Project, a groundbreaking four-part documentary series that premiered on HBO, attracted 11 million viewers, and won two Emmy Awards. In addition, one of the films, "Grandpa, Do you Know Who I Am?" was honored by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for exemplifying "television with a conscience" and was based on Shriver's best-selling children's book dealing with Alzheimer's. Also in 2009, Shriver testified before the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging to encourage Congress to make Alzheimer's a national legislative priority by enacting the recommendations put forth by the independent Alzheimer's Study Group. In 2010, she published "The Shriver Report: A Woman's Nation Takes on Alzheimer's," which was the largest study ever conducted to look at the significant impact of Alzheimer's disease on women who, the study found, make up the majority of patients and caregivers. Shriver's voice was instrumental in the December 2010 passage of the National Alzheimer's Project Act, one of the Alzheimer's Study Group's key recommendations. In 2010, Shriver kicked off her annual Women's Conference with a March on Alzheimer's in Long Beach, CA, which raised more than $300,000 to benefit the work of the Alzheimer's Association. In addition, Shriver serves on the advisory board of the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas.

Pros / The PRS-600 has exceptional style and build quality.
Cons / The lack of Internet capabilities means the downloading of eBooks must be done through a USB cable.
Verdict / If the overall feel and design of an eReader is most important, the PRS-600 is an excellent option.
Editor's Note: This product has been removed from our side-by-side comparison because it is no longer available. You can still read our original review below, but Top Ten Reviews is no longer updating this product's information.
The Sony Reader Touch Edition PRS-600 is essentially an updated and upgraded version of their PRS-700, though the model numbering seems a little counterintuitive. As impressed as we were with the older version, the new one is even better and certainly finds its place among top rated eBook readers. There were some legitimate, though minor, complaints about the PRS-700 and they have been addressed, though not perfected in the PRS-600.
Readability & Display
The Sony PRS-600 is an excellent eBook reader in every regard but perhaps its most extraordinary feature is its overall quality and feel. Its case is metallic with an elegant, just slightly dulled finish. Side by side, it frankly makes the competition look and feel a bit cheap, despite their outstanding feature set. The back of the eBook reader is even cooler with a slight dusty rose sort of finish that we found very attractive. It seems to attract some finger prints but far fewer than gloss finishes typically do.
The screen measures 6-inches diagonally and is good size for reading. The E-Ink display is generally easy to read though slightly darker letters would be preferable. We would like to have been able to adjust contrast but there's no way to do that. The device displays eight levels of gray scale which is good for displaying what amounts to black and white photos but that doesn't imply that gray scale is adjustable.
The touchscreen is responsive though a rather firmer than expected touch is required, particularly when turning pages. Pages can also be turned by using small forward and back buttons located at the lower left of the display and under most circumstances, using these buttons seems to be a tiny bit easier than swiping. Individual pages appear rather quickly though there is the characteristic, but brief, stutter that we've come to expect of E-Ink screens.
A feature of swiping that we did find useful, however, is that by holding pressure on the screen following a swipe, pages can be flipped through quickly, either forward or reverse. There's also a useful search feature that helps find particular words and pages can be accessed by number.
Unlike the predecessor PRS-600, the screen is not backlit. While that may seem like a drawback in that it removes the ability to read in the dark, the benefits are far greater. Backlighting required an additional screen layer which made for a less responsive touchscreen. The new screen is notably easier to use. More importantly, removing the additional layer makes the screen less reflective than its predecessor which was its primary shortcoming. The screen still reflects light under some circumstances but less so than before. It works great in bright sunlight but under indoor conditions, slight changes in the unit's angle can cause reflections that make reading difficult. Fortunately, a minor shift is usually all that's necessary to see clearly.
Individual pages can be dog-eared for later reference and notes can be made. Using the touchscreen also allows for notes to be made directly onscreen using either a finger or the included stylus. It's nice that notes can also be easily erased if no longer desired. That's a whole lot nicer than permanently marring the pages of a paper book. Notes can also be made using a virtual keyboard, rather than hand writing, if preferred. Notes can also be created independently of books' pages as desired.
The screens orientation can be changed from portrait to landscape. This feature likely isn't too practical when reading a book but can be useful when viewing photographs or using some of the several other formats that the eBook reader is capable of displaying.
Design & Portability
There are really three distinct sights for getting books for Sony Readers. Sony's own Reader Store has expanded rapidly but falls short of the Amazon's mammoth selection of titles for Kindle. Books are, nonetheless, priced competitively with most bestsellers going for around $10. There are frequent promotions which often make select offerings for as low as $1.
Secondly, Sony has teamed with Google Books which has over a million books in the public domain that are entirely free. You won't find brand new material here but it's an absolutely invaluable source for older classics and rarities.
Finally, more and more books are being made available by public libraries in the EPUB format and can be loaned for 21 days. The quantity of titles available is somewhat limited but expanding rapidly. It's almost as good as being able to go to the library 24 hours a day without ever leaving home.
The PRS-600 doesn't have the ability to download over the air like Kindles and the Barnes and Noble Nook do. That's one of the principle drawbacks of this device. Loading books onto the Reader requires first downloading them to a PC or Mac then syncing with the included USB cable. The process isn't at all difficult but we like having the over the air option.
A strong point of Sony Readers is their ability to display numerous industry standard formats. The can display DRM content from other sites in PDF, Word, BBeB, EPUB/ADEPT and Adobe Digital Editions.
The device has 512MB of internal storage of which about 480MB are actually available to the user. That will hold up to about 350 typical eBooks. That can be expanded by the addition of a Memory Stick PRO or SDHC card with up to 16GB capacity, so in reality, with enough memory cards, storage is unlimited.
The battery, unfortunately, isn't user replaceable though indications are that replacement shouldn't be frequent given its estimated two week battery life between charging.
We were impressed with the overall quality of the Sony Reader Touch Edition PRS-600. It's surprisingly solid despite its diminutive size and slight weight. It's exceptionally easy to use and even a first time eBook user should be able to enjoy it within minutes. The screen, though an improvement on its predecessor, still has some problems with reflectivity and we'd like to see slightly better contrast; nonetheless, the unit is very easy to read in general and most worthy of consideration when shopping for an eBook reader.

The NBA's 10 Most Overpaid Players in 2010-2011
222 votes 50 voters 14k views 10 items tags
According to NBA team payrolls, each club spends about $1.7 million per win. Economist David Berri, author of the book Stumbling on Wins, who looks inside the stats to find the number of wins NBA players produce for their teams. In addition to points, rebounds and assists, Berri's formula matches player stats like points, rebounds, blocked shots, turnovers and field goal percentage against each player's overall team stats to calculate efficiency (more offensive possessions result in more chances to score, etc). A comparison of wins produced to salary sheds light on how much NBA players produce for the buck. The numbers show that for the 2009-10 season, these 10 players got the most for contributing the least. Players that missed significant time with injuries are excluded.

Guest post by Christina Farrell of The Makeup Blogger
Throughout my life, I have battled with various skin care issues. My skin has a tendency to be dry, itchy, and prone to hives. Needless to say, I have made it my mission to find a skin regimen that hydrates my dry skin, calms irritation, and won't inflame my hive outbursts (doesn't this all sound so very sexy!). As I have previously written, I am currently having a love affair with essential oils due to their healing and nurturing effects on my skin.
A few months ago, I was sent some samples from an amazing woman, Jennifer Devlin, who started her own skincare line due to her own struggles with rosacea and dry skin. And, she is a redhead….. so I knew I would adore her. Not only did I adore her passion for her skincare line, but I was floored by the elegance, and quality of her products. Celtic Complexion is organic, and hand-blended so that each product is free of parabens or synthetics.
This is truly a line that is filled with love, and the utmost care. I couldn't recommend it more.
"This serum was developed for people who cannot tolerate anything on their skin. It is a calming and soothing serum which reduces redness, inflammation, and sensitivity associated with rosacea, broken capillaries and sun burned skin.
Essential Fatty Acids are responsible for the structure of the cell membrane and give skin its elasticity and mattress-like "bounce". I have put the three richest sources of EFAs in each bottle; Coconut oil, borage oil and evening primrose oil. These antioxidants are carried deep into the skin, plumping cells and bathing them in vital nutrients."
- German Chamomile:One of the most widely used botanicals. It has emolient, healing, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory benefits. It also contains azulene, which helps to reduce puffiness and cleanses pores of impurities. Chamomile has great wound healing properties and is used extensively with skin problems such as rashes, acne, eczema, psoriasis and rosacea.
- Neroli:Helps to treat broken veins and capillaries under the skin's surface, while at the same time, stimulates cell activity and growth which in turn leads to clearer and rejuvenated skin.
- Lavender: Mother Nature's "healer". Helps the skin heal itself. Stimulates cell growth, reduces inflammation, prevents scarring and balances the production of oil. It has anti-septic, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, deconge-stant, restorative and therapeutic effects on the skin.
- Evening Primrose Oil: It has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which supports anti-aging and reduces redness in the skin. Exceptionally high in fatty acids, especially gamma linolenic acid (GLA), which is part of the omega-6 family of oils.
- Borage Seed Oil: It has a cooling effect on the skin and soothes damaged and irritated tissues.
- Coconut oil:Prevents free-radical formation on the skin and helps the skin from developing brown spots from UV sun exposure. It helps keep connective tissues strong and supple so the skin doesn't sag and wrinkle. It absorbs easily without feeling greasy. Reduces skin inflammation, itching and burning and provides soothing relief to wounds, blisters, rashes and burns.
A great way to try out the rest of the line, is through their Limited Edition Celtic Complexion Luxury Collection, a $117 Value for Just $49
This exclusive set includes:
- Celtic Complexion Crème, a Luxurious Moisturizer: Coconut oil, jojoba oil, shea butter, along with essential oils make this the perfect moisturizer for dry skin. Concentrated formula imparts a velvet, dewy finish to the skin. May also be used as a moisture mask and décolletage crème.
- Youth Infusion 7 High Potency Serum: A High Performance Anti-Aging Serum: Designed to Diminish the Appearance of Fine Lines and Wrinkles. The crown jewel of the Celtic Complexion skin care collection. Contains rare and precious essential oils, along with a combination of three rich essential fatty acids to virtually erases the signs of aging including brown spots and wrinkles.
- Eye Elixir: Super drenched hydrating serum for the delicate eye area: Instant, portable hydration. The rollerball application tip makes it very easy to apply. Keep it in your purse, pocket or on your desk at work and apply it anytime you need an instant under eye pick-me-up. Made with nourishing essential fatty acids to quench the delicate eye area. It's fragrance free and safe for contact lens wearers.

Welcome to SelfMadeScholar.com. This blog is all about self-education – people learning what they want to know without formal schools or classrooms. Let's start with the basics:
What is self-education?download full film Alibi.com 2017
Self-education is learning in its purest form. You decide what you want to learn, when you're going to learn it, and how you're going to master the subject. There are no formal teachers, no essays, no exams, no group projects, and no grades.
You can start at any age, whether you're one or one-hundred. It's one of the best ways to become an interesting person and sure beats spending your weekends in front of the TV.
Why self-education?
Take a look at almost any great historical figure and you'll find that he is a product of self-education. Even if he was a college graduate, chances are that he spent years or even decades independently studying topics that were relevant to his life.
Consider these examples:
Abigail Adams received no formal education. Instead, she taught herself by reading works from her father's large library. She went on to become the second First Lady of the United States, and an early champion for women's rights.
Renowned mythologist Joseph Campbell decided not to follow his plans to earn a doctorate degree. Instead, after earning his Master's, Campbell retreated into the woods of upstate New York. For five years he read for upwards of nine hours a day, and developed his unique perspective on the power of myth. He went on to teach what he learned and write books, such as The Power of Myth and The Hero With a Thousand Faces – works that are still studied on college campuses today.
Early American patriot Benjamin Franklin ended his formal education when he was just ten years old. He went on to become a printing press apprentice, working for his brother. Through the years he was an avid reader and writer. He published several books including The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, invented products such as the lighting rod and bifocal glasses, and assisted in the writing of the Declaration of Independence.
Too old-fashioned you say? How about these:
- • Science Fiction writer Ray Bradbury developed his writing skills by spending his time reading at a local library instead of attending college. He went on to pen sci-fi classics such as The Martian Chronicles and Fahrenheit 451.
• Richard Branson decided he wanted to get experience with business when he was 16. He didn't finish high school, but he is the owner of both American Airways and Virgin Records.
• James Cameron didn't need film school. He dropped out of college to get practical experience in the movies and later directed films such as Titanic.
• Michael Dell decided to sell computers instead of stay in college. Chances are high that you've purchased electronics from his company – Dell Computers.
To see an extended list of self-educators who have made a difference in the world, check out this site from Autodidactic Press.
Clearly, self-education is the key to personal development. Learning is what helps people understand their world, participate in that world, and make good judgments about what they see. While formal education and training can be helpful, most people can't afford to spend their entire lives locked away in college classrooms. Nor would they want to.
Independent study gives people the chance to learn about the topics they choose – in depth and at their own pace.
What should I learn?
Learn anything you want.
Consider starting with the classics. Unless you graduated from an Ivy League school or attended a liberal arts college with a great books program, chances are that you missed out on a classical education. You didn't get the chance to delve into the literature that defines Western civilization and reflects the "great conversation" – an ongoing discussion seeking answers to society's timeless questions. Not only can studying the classics give you a greater understanding of history, it can give you a deeper understanding of what is going on in the world today.
Alternatively, you could choose to study an academic subject that interests you. Learn what makes a great writer, study historic architecture, become a religious scholar, or perform science experiments in your basement. You can start to become an expert at any age. If you're in high school, there's nothing stopping you from becoming the local expert on jazz music. If you already graduated college, chances are you still didn't get the opportunity to study everything you wanted to know. This time, do it your way. No need to follow a syllabus or wait for the group – study exactly what you want to know.
Or, perhaps you would like to develop a skill or a trade. Learn to frame a house, grow herbs, or sew clothes. Practical, hands-on skills are no less valuable than academic knowledge. Of course, don't be surprised if your new-found cooking skills make you the talk of the neighborhood. Bon Appétit.
How do I get started?
That's what this website is all about. Browse through the archives and you'll find hundreds of posts about creating a learning philosophy, developing effective learning skills, and finding the resources you need. The list of popular posts is a good place to start. Keep visiting this blog and don't be afraid to join the conversation.
Additionally, this site's Directory of Free Online Courses provides a searchable database of hundreds of no-cost classes available on the net. They can be taken at any time and can be used to study whatever subject you're interested in.
Here are a few of my favorite online class categories:
Happy studying.

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
"We love because he first loved us." (1 John 4:19 NIV)
This season is a good time to remember that the reason God wants us to love is because he is love, and he created us to be like him — to love. The only reason we're able to love is because God loves us: "Love comes from God … because God is love" (1 John 4:7-8 NIV).
We were created in God's image to do two things on Earth: Learn to love God and learn to love other people. Life is all about love.
But love all started with God. He loved us first, and that gives us the ability to love others (1 John 4:19). The only reason you can love God or love anybody else is because God first loved you. And he showed that love by sending Jesus Christ to Earth to die for you. He showed that love by creating you. He showed that love by everything you have in life; it's all a gift of God's love.
In order to love others and to become great lovers, we first need to understand and feel how much God loves us. We don't want to just talk about love, read about love, or discuss love; our need is to experience the love of God.
We need to reach a day when we finally, fully understand how God loves us completely and unconditionally. We need to become secure in the truth that we cannot make God stop loving us.
Once we're secure inside God's unconditional love, we'll start cutting people a lot of slack. We won't be as angry as we've been. We'll be more patient. We'll be more forgiving. We'll be more merciful. We'll give others grace.
But you cannot give to others what you have not received yourself, and so my hope is that, as you learn how much God loves you, you'll also let him heal your heart so that his love can flow freely through you. It's impossible to love others until you really feel loved yourself.

The folks behind our favorite letterpress studio designed these cheery turquoise and green coasters. Even if you aren't a grammar fiend, the ampersand motif is fun and stylish. Or try the cute moustaches, they're sure to make you smile. Grab a set to spruce up your coffee table. They're a hip way to keep your tables safe from stains!
I don't understand these...they are cardboard circles with stamps on them. I guess they would be OK for a one-time use as a coaster but I don't know when that time would ever be. This is one of those products people buy as gifts when they don't know what to give. But the recipient will never use.1
In humid conditions, the coasters did a fine job catching the "sweat" off of my drink, but you definitely couldn't reuse them. I'm sure these are fine for special occasions, but the designs aren't something that go with my personal taste, and I don't think I'd spend this much for a one-time use.1

Reverse light HIDs
I've had this kit for months, finally decided to install it.
I was waiting for something that I designed with a buddy of mine...but since he's the one making it and he's M.I.A I went ahead and installed them as they come.
You need to either glue or epoxy them in.
I bought the kit from DaBears and they include a small tube of super glue to use.
Here's the ballast mounted with double sided tape:
HID driver's side vs. halogen passenger's side:
Both sides in:
Note: the capsule in the passenger's side is from DaBears it's a 5000k.
The capsule on the the driver's side is an extra 5000k I had out of a POS ebay kit.
I would have used the other ebay capsule on the passenger's side...but as I mentioned it's a POS and that capsule does not work.
And my other capsule from DaBears is in my buddy's possession for R&D, but since I wanted to get it in tonight I mixed and matched :D
So they are slightly different colors even though they are both listed as 5000k.
With the way I wired my LED tails I can easily swap back to halogen bulbs if I have any issues.
Re: Reverse light HIDs
Very nice! And if you are speaking about Jason as your buddy, he's here now. :)
---------- Post added at 11:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 PM ----------
I believe he was speaking about you and him doing something with these kits.
Re: Reverse light HIDs
Na, a local buddy of mine.
Jason knows what I'm doing though and has seen my "rough drafts", LOL.....I emailed him about this site yesterday as I didn't know if he was here or not :thumbsup:
Re: Reverse light HIDs
Thanks Dan for sending him over.
I pm'd him on the red site but it seems that the admins over there were onto me and deleted my pm's. LOL
Re: Reverse light HIDs
do these work on WJs?
Re: Reverse light HIDs
Popped into my head since I've had people asking me about his rear fog harness a lot lately.
And yeah, the PM that I got from you was magically gone. Luckily I have it setup for email notifications and found it in my email to get the web addy :D
Re: Reverse light HIDs
I would love to have a switch for these for tailgaters. :D
Re: Reverse light HIDs
I believe Jason is looking into that :D
Re: Reverse light HIDs
they look really good!!! how much are they???
Re: Reverse light HIDs
They were around $115 if I remember correctly.
Re: Reverse light HIDs
LMAO At a shitch for tailgaters. Looks great!!! I might have to look into these...
Re: Reverse light HIDs
are these the ones on the site that are for lx cars?
