Welcome to day 3 of love your oatmeal week! Today's oatmeal reminds me of my favorite muffins – you will get blueberries in every bite with a bright burst of lemon. There's something about just smelling lemon that seems to make the ickiest day seem to have possibilities.
Serves: 2 or 3
- ½ cup steel-cut oats
- 2 cups Unsweetened So Delicious Coconut Milk
- 1 cup blueberries
- (I used fresh, but frozen should work fine too)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon lemon extract (or ½ teaspoon lemon zest)
- 1 - 2 tablespoons sweetener (I used agave)
- For serving: finely grated lemon zest and more fresh blueberries
- Spray your crock with some oil to help with clean up later.
- Add everything except sweetener and lemon zest.
- Cook on low over night (7 to 9 hours).
- Stir your oatmeal well. It may seem watery at the top but if stirred it should become a more uniform consistency. If you used fresh blueberries they will have floated to the top of the crock. Just smash them a little with the spoon while you're mixing the pot to incorporate them into the mix.
- Stir in sweetener.
- Top each serving with lemon zest and more fresh blueberries if you want.

I have had one Wolf brand steel case stick in my AR chamber (Stag Arms, 5.56 chamber). It easily knocked out with a light tap from a cleaning rod. I have fired well over 1000 rounds of Wolf with only this one issue. I will continue to use Wolf/Tula for practice as the cost is much less. Unless you experience more failures I would not be too concerned at this point.

Once you clean up the chamber, try some brass cased ammo to see what she does.

Sounds like the consensus is the ammo using brass ammo and a good cleaning should eliminate the problem. I'll let you guys know how that goes either way. My gut feeling is that it will preform fine, however I wish the rifle would be reliable with any ammo. Perhaps with a few hundred more rounds things will loosen up a bit.
First, no lacquer melts off the cases and gums up a chamber. Someone on another forum took a propane torch to a spent casing and failed to get any lacquer to "melt".
The issue with the old lacquer and newer polymer coated steel cased ammo is that they do not seal inside the chamber as does brass cased ammo. The lack of a good seal causes carbon build up in the chamber. Shoot enough and you will eventually "shrink" your chamber, which can cause the next chambered round to get stuck. This results in a failure to extract which will often result in a case as shown in the picture.
The Box O'Truth website covers this quite clearly.
I agree with some of the posts that suggest partially obturated steel cases result in excessive fouling which can lead to FTEs, especially if the gun is too dry. Jon and I were shooting my SBR and it ran acceptably on Tula when it was wet...but not dry.
IMO FTEs are caused by:
-steel casings, inflexible compared to brass cases
-the load, under-powering guns with spec ports, buffer weights, action springs
The aforementioned issues are further exacerbated by out of spec uppers, specifically oversize gas ports, underweight buffers, worn action springs, etc. Steel is less malleable (higher melt point) than brass and expands/contracts in the chamber slower than brass casings. Thus steel cases tend to be torn, rather than cleanly extracted, from the chamber. With overgassed guns, this is a serious issue as unlock/extraction occurs while the (steel) case is still partially obturated against the chamber walls.

Years ago, before the Russians changed to a different laquer, it was quite common. I've seen gun gunked up horribly by melted lacquer.

Immediate Family
About Sir William Lovelace, of Woolrich
Sir William LOVELACE- stockholder in the Virginia Company
- Mother: Elizabeth AUCHER
- Birth: 2 Feb 1584 Woolrich, Kent County, London, England
- Death: 12 Aug 1627 At The Seige Of Groll, Hollande
- Christening: 12 Feb 1584 Saint Alphege, Cantevury, England
The Lovelace Family and its Connections, by J. Hall Pleasants, Baltimore , Maryland,as published in the Virginia Historical Magazine
Sir William Lovelace7 (John1, Richard2, William3, William4, William5, William6). He was baptized February 12th, 1583/4, at St. Alphege, Canterbury. He is usually known as "Sir William Lovelace of Woolwich", where one of his residences, possibly acquired through his wife, was located, although he is styled in his will and in his inquisition as "Sir William Lovelace, the younger, of Bethersden", and would, of course, have succeeded to Lovelace Place had he have outlived his father. He was knighted by James 1 at Theobald's, 20 September, 1609. (Shaw's Knights of England; ii; p. 148). He married, apparently as early as 1610, Anne the daughter of Sir William Barne, knight, of Woolwich, Kent, by his wife Anne the daughter of Edwin Sandys, Archbishop of York. Both the Barne and Sandys families took a very active part in the colonization of Virginia, and will be considered later in separate sketches. Sir William Lovelace5 was a member of the Virginia Company and an incorporator of the second Virginia Charter, 1609 (Brown's Genesis of the United States: pp. 213, 939).
Sir William Lovelace was a soldier by profession, although the assertion in a letter of Charles that he "had served about forty years in ye warres" is obviously an exaggeration, as he was only forty-three at the time of his death. From some Latin lines preceding Lucasta by his son Richard Lovelaces, the poet, it appears that he had served with distinction in the Low Countries (Poetical Works of Richard Lovelace Hazlitt Edition; p. xiv). It is stated definitely both in the letter of Charles reproduced below, and in Hasted's Kcnt that Lovelace fell at the Groll. As his inquisition post mortem, a full abstract of which follows, states that he died 12 August, 3 Charles 1 [l627], there is no question that he was killed at the last siege of the Groll* in Holland. England, Holland as members of the Protestant Alliance were then at war with Spain, and Lovelace fell only a few days before the stronghold of the Groll was recaptured by the allies from the Spaniards.
- Emphasis is laid upon the evidence that Sir William Lovelace was killed at the siege of the Groll, 12 August 1627, because it is stated in another connection that he was "slain at the siege of the Burse." In a calendar of inquisitions, temp. Henry VIII to Charles I, in the Heralds College, compiled and annoted by Sir Charles Young, Garter King of Arms, and now being published in The Genealogist (1915; xxxi; 276) occurs the following: "Sir William Lovelace, knt., slain at the siege of the Burse [1628]".
As the year of death is incorrectly given here, and as the original inquisition contains no reference whatsoever to the place of death, the compiler of the calendar of inquisitions has obviously added from some other source the statement in regard to the Burse. The writer has not only been unable to find any confirmation of this statement, but has been unable to locate a place of this name in Holland, or to find any reference to such a siege. It seems quite possible, however, that some minor engagement at a place bearing such a name may have taken place in connection with the operations about Groll. Among the Egerton MSS. in the British Museum (No. 2553; folio 60-B) is a very interesting letter from Charles 1 to the Governor of Sutton's Hospital, London, later known as Charterhouse School, apparently written early in 1628, endorsed "For one of Sir William Lovelace's Sons". This letter, a copy of which follows, has been published in the Gentleman's Magazine (1884! ii; p. 462):
From His Majesty to ye Governour of Sutton's Hospital
Whereas we are given to understand that Sir William Lovelace after he had served about forty years in ye warres, and was slaynte at ye last siege of Grolle, and his fortune most depending upon ye warres left his lady ritch only in great store of children, and she most humbly beseeching us to bestow one of our places in Sutton's Hospital upon one of his sonnes, Wee are pleased to grant his request. Wherefore our royal pleasure is that ye Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, and others ye governours of ye said Hospitall doe take orders that Thomas Lovelace his son may be admitted ye said house in our prime place at yr next thereon.
Given under our hand this day in ye fourth yeare of our reign
[Charles Rex]
From the will of Sir William Lovelace and the inquisition post mortem upon his landed estate, and from the will of his widow Lady Anne, here, reproduced for the first time, many facts of interest are learned. As Sir William Lovelace was outlived by his father he never came into actual possession of Lovelace Place, although the inquisition specifically states that the "remainder" was vested in him, subject to the life interest of his father. From the inquisition we also learn that the tenure of Lovelace Place was held by the Lovelaces "of the Archbishop of Canterbury as of his Manor of Bethersden by fealty." Reference is also made in his will and in the inquisition to other lands held by him in Bethersden and to sundry lands in Shoulden, Chart Magna, Shidonhurst and Canterbury in the county of Kent. How he actually came into legal possession of these various properties during his father's lifetime, except in the case of the Shoulden lands which he acquired by purchase, is somewhat uncertain. It seems most probable that they had been made over by indenture to him by his father prior to July 15, 1622, the date of his will, as his father makes no mention in his will, dated 6 October, 1629, of any lands whatsoever, disposing only of personal property. On the other hand any lands belonging to the elder Sir William, in regard to which he died intestate, would of course have passed by law to the issue of his only Son Sir William, deceased. Those which the grandfather had held by the "custom of gavelkind of Kent" would, however, have been equally divided among all his grandsons, while those held by entail, as Bethersden Place, would all have passed to his eldest grandson Richard, the poet. As no property in Woolwich is mentioned in the will or inquisition it seem probable that his residence there was of a temporary character, and with his wife's family, the Barnes. Sir William Lovelace, the younger, had by his wife Anne Barne eight children, five sons and three daughters who reached maturity, and whose names are known. As neither the parish register of Betheraden nor of Woolwich covering this period are in existence, the exact dates of baptism or birth of most of the children cannot be determined. Anne was certainly the eldest child; Richard the poet was the eldest son and be-came the proprietor of Lovelace Place. The wills show that Thomas, Francis and William were respectively the second, third and fourth sons. The inquisition shows that Joan was the "child to be born" named in Sir William's will, dated 15 July, 1622; Elizabeth, not named in her father's will, was the youngest daughter, and Dudley, or as he styled himself, Dudley-Posthuums,was the youngest child and born after August 12, 1627, the date of his father's death. It will be noted that the only children named in the inquisition are those who under their father's will were to receive land or legacies chargeable against land. The inquisition settles a point of no little general interest-the exact date of birth of Richard Lovelace, the poet.
All biographical sketches of him state that he was born in 1618, although none give the month and day. The inquisition now enables us to show that this date is incorrect, and to fix the date of his birth definitely as December 6, 1617.
The portrait of Sir William Lovelace7 which is reproduced here is from a photograph of the painting in the Dulwich Gallery (Gallery No. 365-panel 25x21 inches). An excellent copy in oil of this same portrait is in the collection of Mr. Walter deC. Poultney of Baltimore. It is interesting to note that this portrait, as well as those of his father and grandfather are referred to in his wife's will. Lady Lovelace's will also shows that she was at one time in the Low Countries. His widow Lady Anne Lovelace married, January 20, 1630, at Greenwich as her second husband Jonathan Browne, Doctor of Laws. Browne matriculated at Gloucester Hall, Oxford 13 October, 1620, aged 19, and received the degree of B. C. L. 1624/5, D. C. L. 1630 and L. L. D. He held the following preferements: rector of Shelly, Essex, 1621; rector of St. Faith's, London, 1628; rector of Hertingfordbury, Herts, 1630; canon of Hereford Cathedral, 1636; dean of Hereford Cathedral 1636; canon of Westminster Abbey! 1639. He outlived his wife and died December, 1643, and his will (undated and unregistered) was proved 8 April, 1645 (Oxford Wills; Prerogafive Court of Cantabury, 1645). A copy of this will in the possession of the writer shows that he had a daughter Anne Browne who had married prior to 8 April, 1645, Herbert Croft, S. T. P. The will of "Dame Anne Lovelace, now the wife of Jonathan Browne, of London, Doctor of Laws", dated 16 May, 1632, and proved by her husband, 22 May, 1633, of which a full abstract will follow, makes bequests to "my daughter Anne Browne". The date of marriage, 20 January, 1630, of Jonathan Browne and Anne (Barne Lovelace as given by Crisp (Visitation of England and Wales; Notes - ; 121), may be incorrect, for unless Anne Browne married Croft at a very early age, it is hard to see how she could have been a daughter by Anne (Barne) Lovelace, as the wills indicate she was.
The will of Sir William Lovelace, dated July 15th, 1622, disposes of sundry family manors and lands, which his father, who did not die until 1629, had doubtless already legally settled upon him. The will of Sir William Lovelace the younger of Bidersden [Bethersden], co. Kent, knight, dated 15 July, 1622, was proved 23 June, 1628, in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury -(1628; Barrington 60). The following is an abstract
I Sir William Lovelace of Bidersden, co. Kent, knight, appoint my wife Anne Lovelace and Thomas Twisden of Wie, co. Kent, esq., guardians of my children, and I make the said Thomas Twisden my executor with my wife. I give to them all my lands whatsoever in Bethersden, Holden [Sholdenl, Chart Magna, Shidonhurst and Canterburie, till my eldest son Richard Lovelace attain his age of 24, when he shall enter therein. If he die before that age, I give them to my second son Thomas, and in the event of his death, to my third son Francis at 24. I give to my said two younger sons all my lands in the parish of Sholden, co. Kent, which I purchased of Sir Peeter Manwoode. To my daughter Anne Lovelace, all my stock and adventure in the East India Company, with all the profits thereon to be paid her at her age of 21 or marriage. To the child to be born to me £200 if a son, £300 if a daughter, to be paid out in lands. I give to the said Thomas Twisden my embroidered scarf, with all my horses, swords and arms whatsoever.
(signed) William Lovelace.
Witnesses: Thomas Atone, Eric. Tucker.
Proved 23 June 1628 by Anne Lovelace, the relict, the other executor being dead.
The inquisition post mortem upon the estate, of Sir William Lovelace7 taken 9 August 1628 (Court of Wards and Liveries-Inquisitions Post mortem; 77; p. 128), has never been previously published, and contain most interesting data. It will be noted that the inquisition does not mention the younger children, William, Elizabeth and Dudley who were not born at the time their father's will was made, 15 July 1622, and were not provided for under its terms, but does mention Joan who was "the child to be born to me" of the will.

The said Sir William was seised of the wood or woodland called Limbered Wood, containing about 100 acres, in Bethersiden; a farm or messuage, & 18 acres of land in Bethersiden in the tenure of Thomas Bird; enclosed land there called The Parke (about 70 acres), in the occupation of George Trusser a messuage & 30 acres of land there in the tenure of James Wills; a tenement there called Loders House, in the tenure of Andrew Loder; 15 acres called Hunt's Lands, in the tenure of-Loder, widow; a messuage and 60 acres called Carpenter's Farm, in the tenure of -----Howard; a messuage & 50 acres called Barboddender,, in the tenure of Thomas Waterman; 30 acres called Burthouse lands, in the tenure of-Gadsby; a messuage & 60 acres called Elites Farme, in the tenure of the said George Trusse; tenements in the occupation of-Carpenter, widow, Thomas Witherden, Richard Long, Thomas Ellis, John Wilverden, Stephen Austen and John Howlet, all in Betherisden; a messuage in the parish of All Hallows, Canterbury, in the occupation of John Jorden; 2 messuages and 40 acres of land in Betherisden, lately purchased of the heirs of Thomas Blechenden, in the occupation of John Holmes and George Morris; a messuage called "le Mazondien house, keeper house or warriner's house" in the Downes in the parish of Shouldon, co.

The interest of the said John Blechenden in the said annuity has been conveyed to Sir John Hales, Kt., heir apparent of Sir Edward Hales, baronet. The will of Sir William the son is here recited. He died 12 August 3 Charles 1 [1627]. Richard Lovelace, his son and heir, was then aged 9 years, 8 months, 3 days at the time of the death of his father.

Boxes of Christmas decorations were waiting in storage, ready to deck out the home of Lee's Summit resident Sharon Wood.
But having had a recent fall, she wasn't feeling quite up to getting them out and putting all of the decorations up. That's when she decided to call Village Helpers. Village Helpers is a service of John Knox Village, a continuing care retirement community in Lee's Summit.
"I wanted to get in the holiday spirit and needed some perking up," Wood said. "And I knew if I worked at it, it would take me a while. I had heard about Village Helpers because my parents had lived at John Knox Village, so I decided to give them a call. It was wonderful to have the help."
A caregiver with Village Helpers came to Wood's home and spent a few hours helping her put up ornaments and decorations –inside and outside of her home. She also helped with getting other holiday essentials more accessible, such as gifts and Christmas cards that Sharon had stored away.
Because Wood hadn't felt quite up to par, the caregiver also helped her with light housekeeping.
"The caregiver was a real delight and so helpful," Wood said. "It can be a burden to call on friends and family to help so much and this was a wonderful service to be able to use."
Village Helpers can assist people in a wide variety of ways and serves not only residents at the Village, but in the Lee's Summit and surrounding communities. From personal care, to accompaniment to physician appointments, respite care, running errands, household chores such as laundry and more, professional staff can assist those who need a helping hand. Services through Village Helpers are non-medical, are covered through private pay, and some long term insurance policies.
Lori Qualls, manager of Village Helpers, said the first step is finding out what types of services the person needs and what will work best for their schedule. Qualls said they then match them with a caregiver who best fits what type of service they need.
"We want to ensure from the beginning that we're making the best possible match, looking at even personalities and taking into account their wants and needs," Qualls said. "Because consistency is a vital part of the services we provide, our goal is to have the same caregivers continue with them as long as they need us."
This time of year one of the services that is requested is respite care. Qualls said adult children who normally assist and support an elderly parent can often be going out of town during the holidays or are just busier than usual.

Could TSA make flying any worse? (Yes)
- By Stephen M. WaltStephen M. Walt is the Robert and Renée Belfer professor of international relations at Harvard University.
I'm in California to deliver a keynote talk at the Stanford U.S-Russia Forum (or SURF). My topic will be the end of the "American Era" and its implications for U.S.-Russian relations. The Forum is a student-run event, and it will be fun to spend some time interacting with students at my alma mater. The closing dinner will be at the Faculty Club, which will be an exercise in further nostalgia, since I worked there as a waiter and bartender back in the 1970s. (And no, I am not going to divulge the drinking habits of the faculty back then).
Getting here involved flying, of course, which in turn means another enjoyable encounter with the Transportation Security Administration. The lines and pointless interference at Logan Airport were no worse than usual yesterday, but one TSA employee did manage to add a new wrinkle of misery to the experience. As we all stood in line like obedient sheep, he recited the usual litany about removing belts, shoes, liquids, emptying pockets, etc. At the same time, he also kept up a loud, non-stop monologue of unfunny, mildly sexist, and occasionally offensive jokes, to an entirely captive audience of travelers. No doubt he thought he was providing an amusing diversion, but he didn't seem to notice that no one was laughing. And given the ever-present threat of a strip-search, nobody was going to tell this loudmouth in a uniform to just zip it. So in addition to the degrading inconvenience of the security checkpoints themselves, they've now added noise pollution.
For more on the sheer pointlessness and inefficiency of the current security regime at airports, check out Bruce Schneier's rant here (h/t to Dave Clemente of Chatham House). One does wonder what it will take before the world adopts a saner approach to this problem, one which recognizes that perfect security isn't possible to achieve, and trying to get there has enormous downsides.

" Brand: Prevage / Type: Eye Treatment / Subcategory: Moisturiser / Eye Care / Suitable for: Eye / Skin type: for dry skin and for all types / What it does: Moisturizes, Rejuvenates "
I am a true lover of Elizabeth Arden products and I really think that on the whole Elizabeth Arden products are very good quality, high end products which offer very good results. I have seen numerous adverts for the Elizabeth Arden Prevage Eye range and I really wanted to try it but the price put me off - about £80 for 15mls of eye cream - out of my budget by a long shot!!!
I was shopping in Debenhams just before Christmas and I spotted the new Elizabeth Arden Gift with purchase. It was a make-up bag with a 5ml tube of Prevage Eye Anti-Ageing Moisturising Treatment and 3 other sample size Elizabeth Arden products.
The way the Elizabeth Arden gift with purchase promotion works is that you have to purchase two full size Elizabeth Arden items to get the sample size items, usually in a make-up bag, free of charge.
The Packaging:
The Prevage whether it be the 5ml sample size or the 15ml full size product comes in the same silver plastic pot. The pot has a screw top lid. On the front of the pot is the name of the cream and on the bottom of the pot there are instructions on how to use the cream. On the 15ml full size pot the instructions are on the back of the pot.
Prevage Eye Anti-Ageing Moisturising Treatment delivers revolutionary Idebenone, still unsurpassed as the most powerful antioxidant available to correct, protect and transform the look of eyes. This multi-defense daily eye care essential is proven to help deliver all day intense hydration to the fragile eye area. Deflect the sun with encapsulated SPF 15 sunscreens for UVA/UVB protection and smooth the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and crow's feet.
Prevage Eye Moisturiser is Ophthalmologist tested.
The big selling point of this product is that it contains Idebenone. Idebenone is closely related to CoQ10 in its structure. It can replace CoQ10 in the process of cellular energy production and, just as CoQ10, idebenone is also an antioxidant.
Recently CoQ10 has been shown in numerous studies to improve skin wrinkles. Hence it has now been incorporated into skin creams via idebenone.
My Results:
I have tried Prevage Anti-Ageing Night Cream in the past and I found the actual smell of the cream to be quite awful. WhenI open this eye cream the smell of the cream is very similar to the night cream but not as strong.
The eye cream is a very pale gold colour, quite like the night cream but the gold colour of the eye cream is not as intense as colour of the night cream.
I apply a tiny amount of the cream to my under eye area with my pinkie. I read years ago that this is the best way to apply eye cream as your under eye area is very delicate and your pinkie is your weakest finger so this stops you applying to much pressure to your skin when you apply the cream.
The cream is of medium texture, not thin or thick, just right. I apply the tiniest amount of cream to my under eye area. The cream sinks in to my skin as soon as I apply it. The cream feels very comforting, it is not overly heavy on my skin and when I look in the mirror I can see exactly where I have applied it, it looks quite pearlescent. I am very happy with the way this cream applies to my under eye area, it is a joy to use.
After using this cream for about a week I start to notice a difference in the appearence of the skin under my eyes. The skin looks much plumper than before I started using this cream. It also looks much brighter.
I don't suffer from dark circles under my eyes but if you do then I really think this cream would help. It works well to plump and fully moisturise your skin. This in turn helps your skin to look brighter and helps diminish the look of dark circles.
I have noticed no difference to fine lines, I still have a few. Thankfully I don't have the crows feet to go with them!
The most noticeable result I get with this cream is that it plumps and brightens my skin by moisturising it fully. Most other eye creams I have used have not been as effective as this eye cream. They have however been an awful lot cheaper.
I really enjoyed using the 5ml sample of this cream and it lasted almost one month. If I won the Lottery then I might spend £80 on a full size 15ml pot of this cream!

S.Korea seeks 4-year prison term for stem cell fraud
By Christine Kim and Jon Herskovitz
SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korean prosecutors told a Seoul court on Monday they wanted a four-year prison term for disgraced scientist Hwang Woo-suk, whose research team has been linked to major fraud in its once-celebrated stem cell studies.
Hwang, once a scientist with rock-star like status in South Korea for his research that brought the country to the forefront of stem cell studies, is facing trial on charges of fraud, misusing 2.8 billion won ($2.25 million) in state funds and violating bioethics laws.
Prosecutors said Hwang brought shame to the country and harm to scientific research in South Korea.
"The disappointment felt by the (Korean) people is enormous," one of the team of prosecutors told the court.
Hwang, who has apologized for fraud in his team's work, has denied any wrongdoing and said he was duped by junior researchers into believing the landmark results
Lee Bong-gu, a lawyer for Hwang, said: "These people, including the prosecutors are trying to tear apart Hwang's precious scientific evidence."
Hwang's trial at a nondescript Seoul court has been going on for about three years, and could stretch into a fourth, legal experts said. It has been bogged down in the technical testimony from scores of scientists about the research done by his team.
His supporters have staged emotional rallies over the years and filled the court for each of what are typically monthly hearings, saying Hwang is a scientific savior who should be given a second chance. Continued...

More Like April Is the Coolest Month
Based on the name, I assumed this was a Lincoln Logs retirement home, which would have been hilarious.
But never mind all that, because it's Spring! And in your area, your child is going to want things to do and enjoy that don't involve sitting at a desk doing homework. And anyway, they'll be doing enough sitting during the summer, when all they want is AC and video games.
So take advantage of the season and get your child a few cool things they can wear or use or throw across the lawn and they'll be able to get that activity they so desperately need. And you'll be able to get the rest you so desperately need. Remember: if you're sitting near the window where you can hear them, legally, you're still an excellent parent.

Dear Mary: How do you finance your education without taking out loans? I need to get a master's degree, as I have hit a ceiling, but I don't have $40,000 and don't want to take out loans. Will colleges allow me to move slowly and pay as I go? I just don't feel like there is a choice, and it's stopping me from getting my education. -- Ana, email
Dear Ana: Do you need a master's degree or want one? Here's the difference:
Let's say you are a teacher with a contract in a school district that gives an automatic pay increase once you receive your master's degree. In that case -- and provided the monthly payment on the total student debt will not exceed the net salary increase (you can easily project what this will be) -- I would have no problem with you getting your degree using student loans because you have a reasonable expectation that you will be able to repay that loan (which, by the way, is Rule No. 7 in my book, "7 Money?Rules for Life").
But if, on the other hand, you want to get a master's degree on "spec," hoping that it will help you get a promotion or make you more competitive in the marketplace, I would caution you against going into debt to do it.
In these difficult times, when there are so many people vying for jobs, taking on that kind of unsecured debt could sink your finances while you wait, particularly if you were to go through a season of unemployment.
What would it take for you to save $40,000 cash? I'm serious! Why can you not do that? Or save enough to pay for one semester at a time, as you go??
If you say you don't have four years to wait while you save the money, let me suggest that if you do it with debt, you're going to spend 10 or even 15 years paying for that decision.
Why not save the money first, then go to school? You'll cut the cost in half (or even more, depending on interest rates), and once you graduate you'll know that you are really done -- done with studies and payments, too.
You must change your mindset that says it is not possible to pay as you go; that the only way to go to college is to get student loans. It is possible!
Those who are doing their education that way (no spring break trips, no cable TV, no new clothes, no eating out, no cool electronic toys -- living the life of a starving student) are heroes in my mind. They come out on the other end with zero debt and more options than those who skate their way through and end up with $25,000, $75,000 or even $200,000 in student debt.
I just spoke with one of the regretful students the other day. He has more than $200,000 to pay back.
It must have been so nice to get his PhD without having to worry about an annoying job. But soon he will have to pay the piper, and I don't know of an entry -evel job in any field that will pay him enough to cover the huge payments, let alone his cost of living as an unemployed Ph.D.
I wish you well as you make this very important and life-changing decision.

For Gary DiPasquasio, the greatest musical instrument of all may be one that everybody already owns — the human voice.
But that does not mean that people do not have to learn how to play it.
DiPasquasio is a renowned voice instructor, opera conductor and pianist who has begun to offer classes in the Athens and Atlanta areas to teach private vocal and piano lessons encompassing all skill levels.
DiPasquasio focuses on teaching students to master their breath and to mix and access multiple vocal registers, enabling singing techniques from wide-open Broadway belts to fluttering falsettos.
Informed by his extensive background in opera, DiPasquasio aspires to bridge together artistry and technique, which are not always on the same grounds.
"You can have somebody with a fantastic vocal organ, but no real instinct for singing," he said. "Or you could have somebody with a relatively insignificant voice, but who could sing the socks off anything. I'm aiming to bring those elements together when I teach."
DiPasquasio served as opera director for the University of Georgia's music department from 2007 to 2011, where he taught classes in vocal literature and lyrical diction. He casted, coached and conducted five theatrical productions while at the University of Georgia.
His experience at the university inspired him to give lessons in Athens instead of a major city, despite the inherent enrollment sacrifices of setting up shop in a smaller town, he said.
"I've realized this is not as market-rich an environment as a large city," he said. "But I had a good experience at UGA. Since I was so gifted with people who showed me the ropes, I'd like to be able to continue passing on to students whatever I've learned."
DiPasquasio hopes to get more involved in the local community partly as a way to demystify opera and make elements of the art more accessible to those interested. He said that though he sensed a budding interest and enthusiasm for opera, he understands it is an acquired taste. Tackling such a highly disciplined form that encompasses a range of languages and global traditions can seem daunting to some in the modern age.
"The operatic practitioners are custodians of an art form that isn't exactly current," DiPasquasio said. "I'm a missionary for this art form."
As part of his effort, DiPasquasio will be performing at the St. Gregory Church, located at 3195 Barnett Shoals Rd., on Sept. 23.
Prior to making the leap to Athens, DiPasquasio operated a voice studio in New York for more than two decades, working with dozens of highly regarded opera singers, including Leo Nucci, Kristjan Johannsson and Linda Zoghby. He also attended the Juilliard School and the Manhattan School of Music, where he respectively earned bachelors and masters degrees. He has had a hand in musical productions in North and South America, Asia and Europe.
DiPasquasio said his careers as a conductor, coach, teacher and player have taught him that singing stems not only from one's breath, but from the entire realm of one's human experience. For him, singing is often swept with psychological and clinical undercurrents. He said he thus strives to use language in a sensitive way that empowers students to unlock their full potential, not in a way that breeds defensiveness.
"When you're working with singers," he said, "you're talking about a very personal instrument."
Hourlong lessons in Athens cost $55, or $200 monthly for four lessons. DiPasquasio offers various reduced rates for music students or for other conditions. Those interested in taking his vocal or piano lessons can visit www.garydipasquasio.com.

While much of the subsequent attention has been focused on songs like the title track, "Here Comes The Night Time," and "Afterlife" -- and understandably so -- there's one song on Reflektor that has stuck with me since my earliest listening sessions, but that seems to have flown under most critics' radars: the bluntly titled "Porno.""Porno" begins with slinky synths and disco-lite … [Read more...]

The Top Ten Albums from the Decade of Musical Discovery
I love music. I have for some time, probably spent more money on music than any other form of media. This has resulted in a pretty massive collection--one that with the rise of the mp3 has caused me to invest in an external hard drive and eventually sell my 80 GB iPod because it could no longer hold my entire library. The 2000's were tremendous years of musical discovery for me. I suppose many people could relate to my experience of discovering music in college, but if I could summarize it in … [Read more...]

Implementing an applied skills & scholarship unit as a means of developing generic skills
Callan, Paula A. & Croft, Waveney M. (2003) Implementing an applied skills & scholarship unit as a means of developing generic skills. In 7th Pacific Rim First Year in Higher Education Conference, 9-11 July 2003, Brisbane, Australia.
|Accepted Version (PDF 53kB)
This paper describes a first-year skills unit that has been introduced at the Carseldine campus of Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia. The unit, which is taught by a team of academics and librarians, aims to provide first year students with the foundation skills and knowledge necessary for effective and efficient study and for an enjoyable and successful university experience. These skills include basic competencies in using information and communication technologies, academic research and writing skills, critical thinking and time management. Most of the students taking the unit are enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts , the Bachelor of Social Science or the Bachelor of Human Services; many are mature age students. Feedback has been very positive and the unit remains a popular choice.

Dungeon Lords - Expansion and Sequel on the way … REALLY!
November 21st, 2007, 14:51
I could see DL selling a million worldwide. I still see it, every now and then, for sale here in Asia. If you take into account that this product went worldwide then that's a lot of people that could of bought the game. The market isn't only in America and Europe. It was even translated into Traditional and Simplified Chinese. I can't type the chinese names for the game here but moby has it
Just in case someone wants to make a joke about pirates in Asia, I should let you know that there are people here who actually do pay for games. So please keep the laughter down to a minimum
Lethal Weapon you have to add two of my friends to that list and my mom. I convinced her to buy it so we could keep in touch over a vast ocean while kicking some monster's butts.
Despite all my rage.
I'm still just a rat in a cage.

Consumer Protection Law
Consumer Protection Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Dear Customer, thank you for choosing Just Answer. I would like to assist you with your legal question today.
You are describing a case of fraud.
The seller has misrepresented a material fact about the vehicle (or failed to disclose a material fact despite the fact that you were purchasing with the known reliance on this fact - "fraud by concealment"). This is fraud. You have rights to return of the purchase price of the vehicle (compensatory damages), plus potentially "punitive damages" or additional money in a judgment against the seller for their intentional wrongdoing.
If you wish to pursue this matter, you may do so either in Maryland or in Florida (the dealer's decision to sell vehicles through the internet makes Maryland a viable forum - although a judgment would be free from what is called "collateral attack" on personal jurisdiction grounds if you sue in Florida, regardless as to whether the attack is legitimate or not).
If you wish to seek an attorney in Florida, I cannot give a direct referral, but you can find one through the Florida State Bar website at: https://www.floridabar.org/tfb/TFBConsum.nsf/48E76203493B82AD852567090070C9B9/EC2322E512B83D1E85256B2F006CC812?OpenDocument; Martindale Hubble; or AVVO You will be looking for a civil litigation attorney.

Good morning,
Were do I stand with Florida Law on the disclaimers below? is of the web site on the ad. And the other is the one they made me sign when I bought the car.The one that I signed has the same vin number on it as the e bay web site , and is the wrong vin number by one digit! It is wrong by one digit from the rest of the paper work for the car. as per > 4Z69P< instead of >4269P<

One I signed when I bought the car.
And this document has the wrong vin number on it not same as tittle and e bay web site.
Please advise.
Good afternoon Bill,
My question to you is about the the document I signed waiving my right to venue. The document describes the car being a 1964 ford Galaxie vin. number 4269P118517 this is the same vin. number as on the e bay site. But the Tittle and the car in question that I have in my possession the vin. number is XXXXX
So my question is how does Florida law look at this law wise?
The document I signed in my mind is not for the car I have here in my possession , would this not make the document void as far as my having to go to Florida for arbitration, and not to a real court ?
As far as the defects are concerned none of them are noticeable in the photo's on e bay. I'm believing they are photo shopped.
Hello Bill,
I am confused here, Its not a claim that I am looking for here. As you have stated its a case of fraud. That is a crime and that can not be handled by arbitration, but only in a real court setting.. for a crime is punishable by law .
What I am looking for is the return of my money I paid for the car and return the car that was sold to me by fraud by concealment , which would make it a crime that would have to be heard by a court and not a arbitrator.
As I was saying I am not disputing any part or any problem here with the car other then is was totally misrepresented which I would think is a breach of contract in the first place by the dealer.
Dear Customer, I am actually talking about a civil cause of action for fraud, this is how you will get your money back. This matter is unlikely to be considered a criminal one, and your rights for compensation can be handled in arbitration. There are many arbitrators who are very talented and provide excellent service. As you are already considering hiring local counsel, an attorney familiar with local arbitrators can help pick a favorable one to improve your cause.
I would add that the contract you sent me does have an attorney's fees clause meaning that if you win, you will get your attorney's fees back in addition to the other damages.
Hello again Bill,
Question, about Florida law, Can I not just sue the dealer for fraud and not the car, but use the car as evidence ???
Hey Bill,
Would that mean that I can sue the dealer in Maryland since the fraud happened here ?
I have a question for you.
The car in question is mine now, what I want to do is list it on ebay for sale, and use the photo's and the write up that the dealer used when they sold me the car on ebay. The purpose , is showing what I bought and the write that came with it showing the car as it was bought from them. Is this against Florida or any other law? I want to show the car with the photos' as I bought it and also with the photo's I have taken here.
Please advise, and also thank you very much for all the valuable information you have provided.
Sorry for being such a pain, but i need your apinion on this.
I will get back with you Steve, in the next few days after I receive my report from a repeatable automotive restoration company as to the real condition of this car that you claimed is restored and there opinion on when or even if it ever was restored. And the break down of all the problems with this Galaxie along with there estimate of cost.I will be leaving my feed back for eBay, tomorrow in detail. Along with please call me before bidding along with my phone number. If you do not make your wrong doing correct, it will leave me no choice other then to list this car on ebay along with were it came from with the misrepresented discretion's along with all your photo's, along with the real photo's of this car taken here and the inspection report from a reputable restoration company. I will list it for a year if i need to unless it sells. Likely chance i am sure.In the mean while I will research any and all legal actions.
Is that in line with the law?
Good morning Bill,
Thank you very much for all your help, I do have 1 more question.
The car in e bays listing at the top were you have to fill in what your are sell need the description of the car, like make,v8 automatic color, mileage Vin. # XXXXX so on other wise e bay will not list your ad.
The Vin that is listed in the listing is 4269P1234 .
the Vin on the tittle and the car I have is 4Z69P1234.
How does the Florida law read on this ???? I am sure its a typo but then again in my mind it would make it not the car as described nor the car I bought .

After talking to a friend who mentioned I haven't blogged in a while. I became so busy between school, work, church, and family that blog updates fell by the wayside.
Since I've gotten on others to blog to let others know how they are doing and share their experiences… I think it is only fair I do the same. So, beginning this weekend and every weekend forward I have set aside an hour to blog about what caught me by surprise the past week or some observation.

If you ever figure it out, please post, thanks!
We're gonna try.. slated for 1st or 2nd week to bring car back, and FSE will spend entire day with shop making additional attempts. I have to respect the position the auto industry is in right now, BMW included, and recognize that they can't just throw thousands of dollars of parts into something that everyone is clueless on. They do want to fix whatever ails this in the few cases on the whole.
I've looked in detail at the suspension drawings.. I think we all agree the the best way to describe this is a "whooo-ing" sound.. lasts about a second or two, or about 5 driving feet. sounds like coming from driver front, but passengers tell me also sounds like their side.. taking this in lamen's logical steps, I start with the fact that there is a load on the car, and with a load, the shocks or struts will move. could be a bad cylinder or rod in the shock? no one's looked at that as far as I can tell. could be a bushing of some sort, BUT dealer doesn't think so. Back to shocks - what if there are a few faulty or out of speck absorbers.. the glide rod is ever so slightly smaller than designed, and when the load on the car sets in, the glide rubs against the cylinder, making the whooshing noise? why only at slow speeds? because the strut moves slow enough to create either the compressed air escaping, or the rubbing noise.. at faster speeds, it's moving to fast to "Catch"...
well, that is my "hey, at least I came up with something, if not half baked!!!" attempt at the fix.. and again, from a mechanical lamen.. thanks for listening.
