Lob City L.A. Clippers T-Shirt from Skreened
Published December 19, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (1)
If you follow basketball, you know how David Stern's massive Paul-block of the Lakers has led to the Clippers getting CP3. Now, while I find this dissapointing because I like the Lakers, I cannot deny that it will be fun to watch Chris Paul throwing up lob after lob to the jumping freaks that are Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordon. It's going to be crazy, and that's why I think this "Lob City" t-shirt from Skreened is both accurate and funny. If we thought last year had some good dunks…well, it's gonna get crazy. Pick up this shirt in time for opening day if you act quickly.
The Clippers Lob City shirt will cost you $29.99 in this configuration, but if you choose a different t-shirt brand you can get it down below $25.
P.S. Lakers vs Clippers tonight! I wish I had NBA TV at home.
Historical Figures on Tour at ThenWear
Published December 7, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (1)
I couldn't really think of a title for this post just because the t-shirts at ThenWear are so out there (a good thing). All of the t-shirts (in the section I'm linking to) depict popular historical figures as if they were on a musical tour. You've got Galileo's "Don't tell the pope" Heresy Tour, Attila's Huns in the Sun Tour, and many other funny tour shirts. I like them very much. I've posted a picture of two of my favorites, but you should certainly check 'em all out.
ThenWear is newly launched (on the 5th I believe), so I'm betting they will be adding even more to their collection. Additionally, they do more than just the tour shirt, so you should check out of the rest of their funny, and sometimes ridiculous, "historical" t-shirt line. The shirts will run you ~$25 from what I'm seeing. Now go check out their store. You can get free shipping by using the code "2011StandardFree".
Riding Dirty T-Shirt from Neckbeard Apparel
Published December 2, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts Type Tees. Comments (0)
I'm stopping in on this Friday night to bring you guys an awesome tee called Riding Dirty from Neckbeard Apparel (certainly an interesting brand name). The design reminds me a bit of a someecards design (a good thing), with an old-timey illustration partnered with a funny slogan. I think this tee is super funny, especially because I love those old bicycles (as I've mentioned on troundup about ten times now). Anyway…good concept, good execution, great t-shirt. Not much more time to write because I have to go taste test the awesome Tito's Vodka that I picked up today! Wish me luck.
You can grab this design for $25 CAD (that's like $5 in US Dollars, right?) at NeckBeard Apparel.
P.S. I do actually know we don't dominate the CAD anymore. Sad times, though.
Baredevil T-Shirt from Tee Fury, a Superhero Gone Wrong
Published November 30, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (2)
Call me a sucker for odd and obnoxious superheroes, but I dig today's Tee Fury design. In case you can't read it, the text says, "Here comes…BAREDEVIL. The man without pants". The illustration is, obviously, appropriately ridiculous. It's a goofy tee that immediately drew a chuckle from my face, and it's getting posted up on troundup because of that.
As with all Tee Fury shirts, Baredevil will only be sold for 24 hours. It costs $10, and disappears from production in 23 hours (so don't wait around).
Your Argument Is Invalid T-Shirt from Snorg Tees
Published November 20, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (0)
I really enjoy the "Your Argument Is Invalid" meme, and I think Snorg Tees perfectly encapsulated the feeling of that meme into this t-shirt. A goat riding one of those super cool old bicycles (that I've told you how much I love)? Sign me up. You're argument is invalid, bro; because there's a mother 'effin goat riding a bike on my t-shirt. It's the perfect way to show a person with weak arguments just how much disdain you have for them (just kidding, kind of). More importantly, it's also just straight up funny. I dig it.
You can pick up this t-shirt and tell people how much their arguments suck by checking out the Snorg Tees store. Remember to always check for a coupon before ordering, so you can hopefully save some money. You better not argue with me about how cool this t-shirt is…
Mona Lisa Smile T-Shirt from Be Positive
Published November 8, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (2)
I just got an email from Vangelis (awesome name!) about a new brand called Be Positive. Though the brand name makes it pretty obvious, their t-shirts are all about, well, being positive. I checked out the store and the first tee I saw ended up being my favorite. It shows the famously emotionless Mona Lisa with a smiley emoticon super-imposed over her face. It's a pretty goofy concept, and it's good to see Mona finally smiling more openly. I dig it.
You can purchase this design from Be Positive for $21.90. They use Spreadshirt for their printing and fulfillment so you can do a little customization if you so desire.
Creature from the Black Lagoon T-Shirt from 410 BC
Published November 6, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (2)
I was gone for the weekend and I have a test tomorrow, so I haven't had much time to post (lame, I know). With that being said, I did want to post a brief mention for a pretty sweet tee I saw over on Rumplo. It's called Creature from the Black Lagoon (maybe you've heard of it?) and comes from 410 BC as part of their limited stock reprint collection. I find the juxtaposition of the creature with the library and glasses pretty hilarious, and the titles of the books (on the shelf) add even more humor. It's a quirky tee, but that's why I like it.
You can grab this design for the fairly hefty price of $35.00 at 410 BC. This batch is printed in a small run of only 50 t-shirts, so it will probably go fairly fast. It's a perfect t-shirt to wear while you're lounging around the house during winter (unless you don't get winters, and then you're gonna have to find another use for it).
Introducing Why Because: Funny and Punny Type Tees
Published November 4, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts Type Tees. Comments (0)
I just got an email from Brett about the launch of his new t-shirt brand, Why Because. Why Because uses words and phrases (and some images) to make you laugh from looking at a t-shirt. I'll let Brett explain in more detail:
"My motivation to start the line came out of a love for clever wording and phrases. All of the first run of shirts are based around type. Although they won't always be typed based, they will have a humor edge to them. There are a lot of great humorous shirt brands but I figured there was room for at least one more out there. I plan to achieve world peace through humorous t-shirts. I don't think it's too much to hope for."
I dig the designs they've got up so far–many of them are those type of goofy puns that I enjoy so much. I picked my favorite of the six release shirts to show you. It's called Dim Sum, and it made me chuckle the most out of all the Why Because designs.
Why Because is currently holding a pre-order sale, in which all their tees are only $15. The tees are printed on American Apparel (yay!) and will ship in early December. Go check them out!
Are We Having Fun Yet? Party Down T-Shirt from Busted Tees
Published November 1, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts TV Shirts. Comments (0)
I was a little shocked, and very happy, when I opened Busted Tees' new release newsletter earlier today. Why would they make a t-shirt based on show that got cancelled years ago? Well, I don't know why, but I sure am glad they did it. Party Down, the show this design pulls its inspiration from, is a super funny and intelligent comedy that starred Mr. Adam Scott (who is currently bringing his humor to another great show, Parks and Recreation). In the show, He's a failed actor famous for his embarrassing beer commercial slogan of, you guessed it, "Are We Having Fun Yet?!?" This shirt immortalizes those words for all of eternity, and ties in the signature Party Down bow-tie for good measure. I think this shirt is absolutely awesome and totally hilarious, though I understand you probably have to be familiar with the show to enjoy it as much as I do.
After you've plowed through both seasons of Party Down (conveniently available for instant streaming on Netflix), buy this shirt from Busted Tees for only $20.00, a small price to pay for the enjoyment it will bring to other Party Down fans. Needless to say (though I'm gonna say it anyway), this shirt will probably be a huge hit at parties and other events where beer is being consumed, as well as life in general. Also, remember to use a Busted Tees coupon to save some money.
So yeah, plop down on your couch and watch some Party Down–you won't regret it.
Water Bomb Squad, a Funny T-Shirt from Glennz
Published October 31, 2011 in Humorous T-Shirts Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (0)
As usual, Glennz is serving us up some witty hilarity. This one, entitled Water Bomb Squad, doesn't require much explanation. It's just the kind of goofy humor that I enjoy so much, and I'm hoping you enjoy as well. As usual, his illustrations are excellent and really allow the humor to shine. It's just a great tee–which is what I've come to expect from Glennz.
The reason I chose to feature this design now is that it's currently on the "Save Wave" at Glennz. What the "Save Wave" actually means can be easily answered by looking at the top of Glennz's site, but for our purposes the only important thing to know is that this design is on sale for only $14.95. It's only on sale for that low price for a limited time though, so don't wait around and miss out. So yeah–pick up this hilarious t-shirt for only $14.95 at the Glennz site.

Incredible Lightning Storm Over Middle Georgia
- dsashin, CNN iReport producer
I pulled over on the way home from work to watch an incredible storm rolling though the Middle Georgia area on July 10th 2014. All I had was my iPhone so I grabbed as much of it as I could. The contrast of the sky from left to right was incredible. I then watched as lightning hit the ground over and over again, and was I able to capture these images of lightning hitting the ground. I did feel my hair tingle so I packed it up and got back in the car.

ACLU trying to help Mesa boy with med marijuana
PHOENIX (AP) - The American Civil Liberties Union is asking a court to allow a 5-year-old Mesa boy to use a marijuana extract to treat his debilitating seizures.
The ACLU filed a motion for a preliminary injunction Wednesday in Maricopa County Superior Court.
The filing says Zander Welton "is likely to suffer irreparable injury if his parents cannot treat him with a marijuana extract without fear of criminal prosecution."
Under the state's current medical marijuana law, the county Attorney's Office considers extracts illegal.
Zander's parents say he had his first seizure when he was 9 months old. But his medical condition has improved after using marijuana extracts such as cannabis oil and his seizures have significantly decreased.
ACLU lawyers representing the boy and his parents are requesting an oral argument on the issue.

ST. LOUIS — For a summer's worth of fun, the sturdiest, most steadfast part of the Washington Nationals was their built-with-ballistics starting rotation. Stephen Strasburg gave way to Gio Gonzalez. Each could blow you away, and each reached the All-Star Game. Think there's a rest? Here came Jordan Zimmermann, a third starter who throws 95-mph heat. The back end: Ross Detwiler, a former first-round pick, and Edwin Jackson, a player for whom contenders had traded in the past.
Opponents talked repeatedly about the relentless feel of the Nationals. If there's a backbone to their 98-win season, it's those five men. So it was stunning Monday afternoon, in the creeping shadows of Busch Stadium, to see one vertebra visibly crumbling, a symbol of the shakiest period Washington's starters have had all year.

Rarely would a sportsperson call a serious knee injury a blessing in disguise.
But for slopestyle skier Anna Segal, a torn meniscus meant a shuddering halt to two years of constant travel and competition, and room for reflection ahead of her greatest challenge - next year's Winter Olympics in Sochi.
The 2011 world champion is among Australia's best hopes for gold in Russia.
On mended knee she might be, but Segal has realised there could be benefits in slowing down before what promises to be a hectic Games build-up.
"I'm feeling pretty strong and ready to get back on the snow at the start of June," Segal told AAP of the knee injury she sustained in February.
"At first, I did see it as a bit of a setback. But I got two podiums at the two World Cups I competed in so ... I've already qualified for the Olympics.
"My mum said: 'You've been travelling non-stop around the world for two years'. I haven't been home in Australia for more than three weeks at a time.
"This has really given me a little bit of time out before the Olympics to get some summer in, get some surfing in, catch up with friends, see family and really recuperate mentally before the next nine months.
"In hindsight, it's almost a blessing in disguise to have some down time."
A former moguls skier, Segal thought her hopes of Games gold had vanished when she switched to slopestyle - which involves trick skiing on rails, boxes and over jumps.
But it has gone from X-Games sport to the mainstream with its acceptance into the 2014 Winter Olympics.
Suddenly, Segal has the chance to parlay a long, varied life in snowsports into Olympic gold.
"At the time I was 16 or 17, my goal was to head to the Winter Olympics for moguls skiing," said Segal, who first took to the snow as a four-year-old.
"Then I had a knee injury when I was 18, which made me think about things a little bit and I just wanted to give free-skiing a try.
"When I finished with moguls, I thought I was giving up my dreams to go the Olympics. I was going more in the professional, X-Games side of things.
"The Winter Olympics have added a whole new element."

As the new year approaches, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is offering advice for 2011 tax returns, from tax credits, to retirement accounts.
"Georgia taxpayers should review and gather documents now as part of their year-end tax planning," said IRS Spokesman Mark Green.
Green said local taxpayers can take the first step to prepare for the upcoming tax season, by reviewing tax law changes at the IRS web site.
The IRS spokesman pointed to retirement accounts. "This year, you can contribute up to $5,000 in an IRA, as well as another $16,500 to a 401(k) employee plan," Green said. "If you're 50, or older, those numbers go up to $6,000, and $22,000, respectively."
Green reminds taxpayers to keep documentation of their cash contributions to charities. He said taxpayers must itemize deductions on their tax return to claim charitable contributions, and must have a bank record or a written communication from the qualifying charity showing the name of the charity and the date and amount of the contribution.
A bank record would include a canceled check, a bank or credit union statement, or a credit card statement.
"Taxpayers may make gifts of up to $13,000 per person and exclude the amount from the gift tax," he added. "Those receiving the gift are not required to pay taxes on the amount received. The lifetime exception for 2011 is $5 million."
Taxpayers who may qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) should use the EITC Assistant on the IRS web site. The site helps determine taxpayer eligibility for the credit.
"The program will also assist you in determining your correct filing status, determining whether your child meets the tests for a qualifying child, and estimating the amount of credit that you may receive," said Green. "Taxpayers who earn[ed] less than $49,078 in 2011, may be eligible for a refundable tax credit of up to $ 5,751."
There are two federal tax credits available to help taxpayers offset the costs of their higher education, and the higher education of their dependents. The credits are the American Opportunity Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit.
"To qualify for either credit, you must pay post-secondary tuition and fees for yourself, your spouse or your dependent," Green noted. "The credit may be claimed by the parent or the student, but not by both. If the student was claimed as a dependent, the student cannot file for the credit."
Green said the American Opportunity Credit can be worth up to $2,500 per eligible student, and is available for the first four years of post-secondary education. The Lifetime Learning Credit can be worth up to $2,000 per eligible student, but is available for all years of post-secondary education and for courses to acquire or improve job skills. He said income limits and other restrictions apply.
Educators who used their own funds to purchase items for use in the classroom also may be able to deduct up to $250 of those expenses on their tax return when they itemize deductions.
The IRS spokesman urges taxpayers to maintain good records throughout the year to ease the process of filing income taxes during tax season.
"The more organized your records are, the easier it will be to complete your tax return next year," said Green. "There is no substitute for good records. A good record-keeping system can help ensure that you don't miss out on any credits or deductions when you file your tax return."
To learn more about tax credits and deductions, visit the IRS web site at www.IRS.gov.

Choux pastry… somehow the word pastry intimidates me and i have no idea why!
Cakes, cookies, bread, no problem but pastry and tarts, i'm a little afraid to be honest. Perhaps it's the rolling, — though choux pastry needs no rolling — perhaps, it's the pressing and shaping (for tarts etc).
*shrugs* I really don't know.
As you know, durian is in season right now and as a die-hard-durian-lover, i did not just frequent my favourite stall once, i went thrice + 1. In total, i suspect i've had more than 50 seeds in the past 2 weeks. Many times after pigging out, i'd tell myself, Stop! No more! But the next thing i know, i'm back at the durian stall, picking up more durians!
I is terrible!
Usually, i like polishing the durians off just like that…. So, why durian puff?
Well, because the sister requested and also, i had waaaayy too much until i was a little jelak (umm.. for that 2 days only though :P) hence out came durian puffs!
Oh, it turned out that Choux Pastry isn't that intimidating at all!
How to Choux Pastry guide.
Recipe from Florence
For 8 puffs
85ml water
50g butter
pinch of salt
1/4 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla essence
50g bread flour
20g cake flour — i didn't bother with cake flour, substituted with plain flour –
2 eggs (lightly beaten)
1. Cook water, butter, sugar and salt in a saucepan till bubbling hot. Turn the heat to low.
2. Add in the flour mixture in one go and mix with a wooden spoon till a dough is formed
(picture on the left)
3. Still on low heat, cook the dough for 1 – 2 minutes till a thin white film is formed at the bottom of the saucepan.
(picture in the middle)
4. Transfer dough to a mixing bowl and beat till it is lukewarm.
5. Add in egg by thirds and mix till well blended and smooth. It needs to be glossy looking. Test the batter by taking a scoop of it and it hangs down and form a smooth triangular shape, it means u're on the right track ;)
(picture on the right)
6. Place batter into piping bag and pipe it onto a lined pan in rounds of about 5cm in diameter. Spray some water on it. (i piped mine 5cm and it turned out HUGE! will pipe 2cm and get 20 small puff pastry instead. i like them mini :))
7. Gently smoothen out the pointed peaks with a moistened finger.
8. Bake at 200C for 25 (mine took only 20) minutes then 180C for 8 – 10 minutes or till dry and golden brown in color.
Durian filling
200ml whipping cream (will reduce this to 150-170ml)
1 tbsp rum
550g durian pulp
3 tbsp milk
1. Whip up whipping cream to a soft peak.
2. Fold in durian pulp. Stir in milk and rum.
3. Put fillings in a piping bag and pipe it out into the baked choux pastry.
And VOILA!
Durian Puffs for ya ;)
11 Responses to "Durian Puff"
That's a very creative use of durian! Yum!
I keep saying I'm going to "do the choux", but I keep getting distracted. Thanks for the reminder! =)
wow what beautiful puffs; the photos are simply stunning.
Looks delicious!! I don't see why you were complaining about the size though.. seems like quite a nice size to me.. Maybe instead of cutting into 2, poke hold under and pipe in the durian cream..then easier to eat?
I was introduced a few years ago to durian by my cousin and while I have to say the smell of the fresh stuff is a bit overwhelming to me, I found I really liked its flavor when used in desserts. This looks fantastic!

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Nevada gambling regulators gave approval Thursday for investment firm Dubai World to acquire a bigger stake
in MGM Mirage Inc., a move the casino company's leader-in-waiting
said will help it survive a "paralyzed" global economy.
Jim Murren, the chief operating officer of MGM Mirage who will replace Terry Lanni as its chief executive Dec. 1, said partnering with Dubai World would help MGM Mirage navigate current conditions that have been tough on consumers and borrowers. Lanni announced last week that he was retiring after more than 13 years at the helm of the world's second-largest casino company and the largest gambling operator on the Las Vegas Strip.
"We are in troubled times and this is a time, we believe, to face our challenges very quickly," Murren said. "We have a crisis of confidence in the consumer."
The plan approved by the Nevada Gaming Commission authorizes the
investing arm of the Dubai government to increase its current 9.4
percent stake to as much as 20 percent of the gambling company.
"This is a very long-term investment," said Lai Boon Yu, group chief investment officer for Dubai World. "We have many plans to work with our friends."
Dubai World and MGM Mirage already are partners in the largest private commercial development in U.S. history, the $9.2 billion CityCenter complex on the Las Vegas Strip scheduled to open next year.
Yu said the timing for Dubai World to buy the additional shares was not set. The firm owns just more than 26 million shares of MGM Mirage stock.
"It is not a question of if," Yu said. "When depends on market conditions."
Dubai World agreed to buy its current shares of MGM Mirage stock at $84 per share in August 2007. The price was 13 percent above the
stock's trading price that day.
MGM Mirage stock has tumbled more than 90 percent over the past year, from a 52-week high of $93.19 to a closing price of $8.79 on Thursday. MGM Mirage stock dropped $1.41, or 13.8 percent, in Thursday trading.
Dubai World still needs permission from regulators in other jurisdictions to raise its stake to 20 percent, and approval for a Nevada gambling license to share in CityCenter's casino profits. The firm applied for the license in April.
MGM Mirage owns and operates 17 properties in Nevada, New Jersey, Illinois and Macau. It has 50 percent partnerships in four other properties. In Las Vegas, the company owns 10 casino-hotels on the Las Vegas Strip, including Bellagio, Mandalay Bay and The Mirage.
Murren said that besides guiding CityCenter to success, MGM Mirage has to conserve cash and motivate tourists to end their spending slump.
"It is our job to husband cash and to right-size the company and to create as much efficiency as possible," Murren said. "In many cases that's painful to do but it's utterly critical to maximize our cash flow right now to weather the storm."

The George W. Truett Theological Seminary at Baylor University is "committed to holistic student development by equipping students through theological and biblical reflection, spiritual formation, lifelong learning, ministry service, and cross-cultural sensitivity."
The Seminary has put in place a number of institutional structures to measure educational effectiveness. These measures include both direct and indirect forms of assessment, focused primarily on the program goals for each degree. Indirect measures of student learning include student surveys (Graduating Student Questionnaire) as well as focus groups and student interviews. Alumni surveys are also used. Direct assessment occurs in many forms. Student learning is measured against institutional and program goals using a variety of instruments (e.g., mentoring portfolios, capstone papers, sermons). In the semester-long mentoring experience, mentors provide a thorough assessment of the students' ability to integrate classroom learning within a ministry context. The primary aim of the entire assessment program is to enhance the quality of teaching and learning conducted at the Seminary.
The Seminary also seeks to provide a stellar education in a timely fashion. In spring 2012, 90% of the Master of Divinity graduates completed the 93-hour in 4 years or less. The Seminary also remains concerned about the mounting educational debt taken on by many students in higher education. Over 50% of the spring 2012 graduates reported incurring no debt while in Seminary.
The student placement rate for the Seminary remains strong. Of the 83 graduates from the 2011-12 academic year, 82.3% were placed within a year of graduation.
The academic, spiritual, and community life experienced at Truett Seminary creates an environment that maximizes growth for students. When asked, 100% of graduating students indicated that they would come to Truett if they had the opportunity to do it all over again (Graduating Student Questionnaire).
For questions related to the Seminary's program of assessment and educational effectiveness, please contact the Office of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.

Polaris BL Lite Tee £24.99
Straightforward base layer at a reasonable price
Weight 140g Contact www.polaris-apparel.co.uk
Previous Review
Next Review
The BL Lite Tee from Polaris is a basic base layer/ technical T-shirt but if you want something simple at a good price, it's a solid buy.
One of the best things about the BL Tee is the slim fit - 'contoured', Polaris say. It's not quite figure-hugging on me, but I'm a bit of a beanpole. Whatever your build, it's going to fit fairly closely and there's enough stretch in the fabric, especially crossways, that it won't cut off your circulation if it's snug.
The rear is cut a little longer than the front so your lower back always stays covered when you're bent forwards on the bike, and raglan shoulders give you good movement up top.
Polaris call the fabric AirBase. It's polyester in a honeycomb weave. Know what I mean by that? A teabag weave, if you like. The outer surface is full of small dimples, basically. It's not quite mesh, but it's getting on that way. You'll have seen similar in loads of other base layers and jerseys.
The fabric wicks sweat well; not spectacularly, but well. It can feel a bit cold on your skin when wet but it dries out fast so you're never uncomfortable for long. I can't say it smells particularly good after a big ride. This is one of those tops you'll want to get into the washing machine pretty soon after you get home.
As well as wearing this as a base layer, you could use this without a jersey over the top on hot days - although you'll have to forego pockets. I've used it like this for running too. The airy weave means it's really good at keeping you cool so if you indulge in such deviant activity yourself, you can get extra use out of the BL Tee.
Straightforward base layer at a reasonable price

Size tested: Red, Medium
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
Polaris say: "A short sleeved base layer designed in AirBASE™ fabric; perfect for cool conditions
Constructed from 100% brushed Polyester (soft handle)
High wicking and quick drying
Contrast side panels to give a contoured fit"
It's a close-fitting polyester base layer: nothing too fancy but it puts in a solid performance.
It's fine - good build quality
It's not spectacular, but it's a good, solid performance
There's really not a lot to go wrong here.
I found the inner face colder than some other base layers when wet

Solid performance for the money.

Good, close cut
Did you enjoy using the product? It's fine

I regularly do the following types of riding: time trialling, commuting, sportives, general fitness riding,
£24.99 for a simple Tee is well over the odds ... especially when you can get similar for £2.99 when Aldi runs one of its numerous sports gear offers.

Award of Degrees
First Associate Degree
Students who desire both a Thomas Edison State College associate degree and a Thomas Edison State College bachelor's degree may have both degrees awarded together in the same graduation cycle.
If a student has completed an undergraduate, advanced or professional degree and applies for an associate degree, he/she must complete a minimum of 12 credits in the option beyond credits completed on the date the most recent degree was awarded. The student must also meet all requirements specific to the degree.
Second Associate Degree
Students who have received one associate degree at Thomas Edison State College or another regionally accredited institution and wish to earn a second associate degree must:
- Complete a minimum of 12 additional credits in the option for a second associate degree beyond the date the most recent degree was completed.
- Students must complete all requirements for the degree as listed in the current Thomas Edison State College Catalog.
First Bachelor's Degree
A student who applies for a first bachelor's degree may not have completed another four-year degree. Students who have earned a bachelor's, graduate or professional degree must follow the policies and procedures under "Second Bachelor's Degree." A student may have completed an associate degree or degrees prior to earning his/her first bachelor's degree.
Second Bachelor's Degree
Students who have received one bachelor's degree at Thomas Edison State College or another regionally accredited institution and wish to earn a second bachelor's degree must:
- Complete a minimum of 24 additional credits in the area of study/core for a second bachelor's degree beyond the date the most recent degree was completed
- Students must complete all requirements for the degree as listed in the current Thomas Edison State College Catalog.
The College will not award a third associate or bachelor's degree.
Two Areas of Study Within One Degree
Students may complete up to two areas of study within one bachelor's degree. No more than 9 credits that are used in the first area of study may be used for the second area of study. All related required credits for each area of study, as well as all degree requirements, must be met at the same time. Students cannot complete a third area of study within one bachelor's degree.
Second Master's Degree
Students who hold a master's degree from a regionally accredited institution may earn another master's degree under the following conditions:
- Students may apply no more than 12 graduate semester hours of credits from any previously earned master's degrees toward the new master's degree.
- Transfer graduate credits that were earned more than seven years ago may not be applied to the new master's degree without the permission of the appropriate School dean.
- Students must also adhere to any additional degree and transfer credit policies imposed by the School in which their degree is to be earned.
Bachelor's to Master's Program
Thomas Edison State College undergraduates may apply for conditional admission to the Thomas Edison State College graduate program of their choice when:
- they have earned at least 60 undergraduate transcripted credits
- they have a minimum GPA of 3.0
- they have three years of degree program relevant experience.
Conditionally admitted students will not be permitted to enroll in graduate courses until they have successfully completed 90 undergraduate credits with an overall Thomas Edison State College GPA of 3.0. Conditionally admitted students may earn up to 9 graduate credits (three courses) to meet requirements for both the bachelor's and master's degrees. These students will pay undergraduate tuition for the 9 graduate credits (three courses) and must maintain their active undergraduate enrollment status.
Note: there are recommended courses in each graduate program in which undergraduate students may enroll; check with an advisor for those courses. Students who do not achieve a 3.0 in their graduate course work will not be permitted to take additional courses.
Students who do not successfully complete the nine credits successfully will have to reapply for admission to graduate study.
Your ability to take advantage of the Bachelor's to Master's program depends on the courses you have already completed and those that apply to your degree. You must have room in your undergraduate degree for these recommended courses.
Note: See W. Cary Edwards School of Nursing for the Bachelor to Master Nursing Option.

Should We Fear Even Successful Military Interventions?
August 22, 2011
Reason editor Matt Welch warns of a "success curse" in foreign policy: Today's Team Blue dethroning of a tinpot dictator lowers the bar for tomorrow's Team Red assault on Iran, which of course will be confirmation that when it comes to the Constitution, President Perry (should he wrest the nomination from the more deserving Texan) is worse than Nixon and Hitler combined. Team Blue will once again regain the White House on an "anti-dumb war" campaign; a scattering of Republicans will then exhume their deference to the War Powers Act, and the U.S.
Metcalf vs. The Libertarians
June 21, 2011
Stephen Metcalf's essay on libertarianism and Robert Nozick, which I linked, has naturally provoked libertarian pushback. Reason editor Matt Welch publishes a rebuttal consisting entirely of pointing out that Ann Coulter also dislikes libertarianism, therefore Slate agrees with Coulter. (And you know who hated communism? Hitler!
Reasonfight, Day... I've Lost Count
March 08, 2011
If you can't get enough of watching me argue against half a dozen Reason staffers and editors at once, I'll offer a brief update. When last we met, Reason's Radley Balko was accusing me of making ad hominem arguments.
Libertarian Time Travel Could Have Saved Jimmy Carter
August 09, 2010
Last week I wrote about Jimmy Carter's deregulation of beer, which produced enormous benefits but only years after Carter had left the scene. Reason's Matt Welch replies: The New Republic's Jonathan Chait, whose first sentence may just explain a lot, has discovered that Jimmy Carter deregulated beer production, adding: "It's worth noting that Carter got no political credit for this move." Maybe not from non-libertarians, pally! His link is to a 2009 Reason article praising beer deregulation.

Look Who Loves French Health Care
December 14, 2009
It's Matt Welch, editor-in-chief of the very libertarian Reason magazine: To put it plainly, when free marketers warn that Democratic health care initiatives will make us more "like France," a big part of me says, "I wish." It's not that I think it's either feasible or advisable for the United States to adopt a single-payer, government-dominated system.
Libertarians Rising?
November 24, 2007
Nick GIllespie and Matt Welch have a big piece in the WaPo's Outlook section that has quickly risen to the top of the most emailed list. The article tries to make sense of the "Ron Paul revolution", and what the authors see as a rising tide of libertarian sentiment in the country. Here's their conclusion: More than at any other time over the past two decades, Americans are hungering for the politics and freewheeling fun of libertarianism. And with the dreary prospect of a Giuliani vs.

Hi Joginder
That is a nice capture of a balloon seller. Frustration is not something writ on his face, looks more optimism for the future.

Students from the Charles H. Bohlen Jr. Technical Center showed off their talent to school board members from all corners of the state last month.
The Jefferson-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services student-built Shelby Cobra MK3 Roadster replica was featured at the New York State School Boards Association convention Oct. 25 to 27 in Rochester.
BOCES centers throughout the state had displays at the convention, but Bohlen Technical Center Principal Russell K. Berger said the slick black and silver sports car was put in a prominent location.
It is easy to say it was the star attraction, Mr. Berger said. For us, the Cobra was a natural selection for us to take. It is a very good example of what we can do in career and technical education.
The kit car was bought in 2006 for $14,000 from Factory Five Racing, Connecticut, and was supplemented with parts from a Ford Mustang GT.
Mr. Berger said a similar car was auctioned for $27,000 through Mecum Auctions but is uncertain about the BOCES cars value.
Ive seen them run for $25,000 to $35,000, Mr. Berger said. This one, the paint job and quality is over the top. I would say the value of the car is what the students get out of building it.
The Bohlen Technical Center uses the car for as many classes as possible, including auto tech, auto body, visual communications, welding and electrical wiring.
The roadster will continue to be worked on. It originally was painted orange and silver by the class that first worked on it. During the last two years, however, the auto body students reworked the car, changing the colors again. Mr. Berger said he would have said yes to a pink car if the students asked, because the entire project from start to finish is student built.
It will probably change again as students continue to work on it, he said. Right now, theres no thought of raffling it off.
In addition to using the car for education, Mr. Berger has taken it to promotional events and open houses throughout Jefferson and Lewis counties to attract more students to the Bohlen Technical Center.
Two auto body students, Belleville Henderson senior Charles H.L. Moore and South Jefferson senior Joseph J. Overton, helped paint and buff the car last year and were chosen to go to the conference because they showed the most interest.
Both said all of their class projects, including a Chevrolet sedan, an original Daytona 500 race car and a Toyota pickup, are interesting and engaging.
You have fun in class, but youre learning something you can use for the rest of your life, Mr. Moore said.
In Rochester, they set up the car in the showroom and answered questions from inquisitive board members.
The were all shocked that it was just students that built it, Mr. Moore said.
Some convention-goers mistakenly thought the car was being raffled off.
A lot of people wanted to drive it home, Mr. Berger said. They said they would look good driving it.
The Shelby Cobra will be displayed during the Jefferson-Lewis BOCES Technical Centers open house from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday.

The strife magnet that is Western action drama Jane Got A Gun has burped up yet another problem. No sooner had Bradley Cooper agreed to replace Jude Law as the film's main antagonist than scheduling issues mean he has to step down, leaving Gavin O'Connor and Team Jane searching for yet another bad guy.
This time, the sticking point really does appear to be timing, since Cooper is currently at work on David O. Russell's con movie American Hustle. When the Boston bombing and its resultant manhunt delayed filming, that shoved Cooper's availability. Now, between completing Hustle and doing the press rounds for The Hangover Part III, he's unavailable, leaving yet another hole in the Jane roster. According to deadline, producers Portman and Scott Steindorff are now looking at the likes of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jake Gyllenhaal, Tobey Maguire and even Sir Thomas of Hiddleston as possible replacements.
Let's chronicle the history of this one for a moment, shall we? The movie finds Portman as the titular homesteader whose estranged outlaw hubby (Noah Emmerich) returns riddled with bullets after getting double-crossed by his gang.
With the criminals on their way to finish the job, our heroine contacts an old flame (Joel Edgerton) to help defend her home. Michael Fassbender and Jude Law are just two of the names that have exited the film at different stages resulting in cast switching, and original director Lynne Ramsay controversially dropped out the day shooting was to start. O'Connor took over and has been guiding the film ever since, but had hoped Cooper would plug the gap left by Law. Apparently, since the schedule had already been juggled to allow Cooper to slot into place, the team has until June to lock down a replacement. At this rate, they'll be handcuffing them to the set to make sure they can't go anywhere…

For Immediate Release: 2/13/2012
|Montgomery County Marks Two Year Anniversary of Green Business Certification Program
Montgomery County is celebrating the two year anniversary of the Green Business Certification Program, launched through a partnership between the Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection, the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce (MCCC) and Montgomery College. Thirty-five diverse organizations have been certified so far, including a bank, IT consultant, religious institution, beverage company, orthodontist, furniture company, international hotel chain, law firm, accounting firms, non-profit organizations, an architect, engineering firm and defense contractor.
The Green Business Certification Program helps County businesses by providing them with a "greenprint" for introducing sustainability into their day-to-day operations and supply chain decisions. Organizations that embrace green practices enhance environmental quality while promoting economic development.
"Montgomery County is doing its part to spark the transition to a sustainable and green future through the Green Business Certification Program," said Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett. "Businesses are doing their part by pursuing the Green Business Certification -- and I thank these leaders for their vision. They recognize that from an economic standpoint, environmental stewardship and innovation are becoming key drivers of financial success. I hope their example will inspire many other organizations in the County to become certified green businesses."
To be a certified green business, an organization must demonstrate its commitment to environmental stewardship, conservation of energy and water, carbon footprint reduction, waste reduction and recycling and environmentally responsible purchasing.
"We embrace sustainable business practices because they provide our members a competitive advantage," said Gigi Godwin, President and CEO of the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce. "Moreover, companies recognize that aligning values, such as environmental stewardship, with business operations helps to reduce risk and attract and retain the best and the brightest. We are delighted to be a partner in the Green Business Certification Program."
Montgomery College provides on-going courses to assist businesses in "going green" so they can get certified. While not required for certification, many businesses have found the courses to be extremely helpful in getting started.
"We understand that businesses are investing significant time in going green," said Dr. DeRionne Pollard, President of Montgomery College. "Green Business Certification can also open up new business opportunities. The College helps to empower businesses by providing them with a clear path forward so that businesses taking our courses can pursue certification with confidence."
Certified green businesses are recognized for their environmental stewardship, are listed in the County's online Green Business Directory and the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce website, have use of the program logo, benefit from various MCCC outreach efforts, and may be profiled on the County's cable television programming. Previous programs have highlighted the efforts of Marriott International, Honest Tea, MCCC, Hallman Orthodontics, Reznick Group and Clean Currents.
Businesses and organizations can benefit from the Green Business Certification Program regardless of their size, sector or where they are in their sustainability journey. The reasons organizations have given for becoming certified include enhancing their marketing opportunities, distinguishing themselves from competitors, cutting waste, saving money or responding to employee and consumer demands. For certified green business profiles and testimonials, please see below.
For more information about the Green Business Certification Program, go to the website at http://mcgreenbiz.org/. For information about Montgomery College's Green Business Certification Crash Course, as well as other sustainability courses, go to "Green Training Programs" in their Schedule of Noncredit Classes at http://www.montgomerycollege.edu/wdce/WDCE_Spring2012_Catalogue/flipviewerxpress.html

Green Business Profiles and Testimonials
Below is a sample of the innovative steps certified green businesses and organizations are taking to reduce their ecological footprint and save money and testimonials from decision makers. For a comprehensive list of actions being taken by all the certified green businesses, see the Green Business Directory.
Hildegarde Sylla, President, AIS Engineering, Inc.
Dave Taghipour, Founder and Owner, All Eco Center
"Being a green business is essential in today's world. It is exciting and refreshing to know that as an accounting firm we can do more than help our clients' businesses with their finances; we can work together with our clients, coworkers, friends, and families to spread smart, environmental-friendly, and healthy habits."
Emily Stovicek, Berlin, Ramos & Co., PA
Ralph Smith, President of Smith Design/Construction, and Bethesda Green Board Member
"Given that our core business is investing in sustainable and environmental companies, it is important that our own house is in order. The Certification Program helps us track many areas of the company where we can incorporate green products or habits. The certification process is great in and of itself."
Elizabeth Le Vaca, Director of Corporate Communications, Calvert Investments
"Being in the Green Business Certification Program means that we stand alongside other Montgomery County businesses that put sustainability at the forefront of operations and, as a group, we show the importance of green leadership in the business sector of our county."
Alterra Hetzel, Corporate Relations Manager, Carbonfund.org Foundation
"As consumer interest in green products grows, it's become increasingly important for companies to be able to verify that their green claims are legitimate and not just an attempt at marketing. Montgomery County's Green Business Certification Program recognizes businesses that are committed to sustainability in their operations through a high standard third-party certification process – just what a business needs to differentiate their green operations from others in their field."
Gary Skulnik, President & Co-Founder, Clean Currents
• Congressional Bank formed "Gang Green," a team of associates who help generate and implement new green conservation efforts and run an employee contest offering cash rewards for the best green ideas. The bank provides continuous training and communication to keep staff focused on "green" operations and has a centrally located bulletin board dedicated to spreading the word about green news and initiatives. They provide free parking to employees that carpool, and encourage some of its staff to telecommute or flex their schedules. The bank's two Montgomery County branches use 100 percent wind energy and the company has established environmentally responsible purchasing guidelines. The bank is proactively seeking to expand its lending portfolio to include more companies that provide green products and services and/or embrace sustainability practices.
"Earning our Green Business Certification is changing how we do business not just in our day-to-day operations but also among our clients. We're expanding our lending portfolio to grow relationships with businesses that share our conservation values – those that provide green products or services or are implementing ways to improve their environmental stewardship. That shared commitment takes our partnerships in a new direction that feels really great for us and for our customers."
John Lane, President and CEO, Congressional Bank
"For more than a century, Goodwill® has been an entrepreneurial leader and environmental pioneer. Goodwill is ranked amongst leading organizations across the United States and in industry sectors for its leadership in reducing its carbon footprint by reducing the environmental impacts associated with conventional electricity use. We have taken steps at our headquarters in Rockville, MD to decrease our energy consumption and reduce the risk of climate change through green power purchasing. We will continue to place an emphasis on sustainable building and operations practices."
Jim Gibbons, President and CEO, Goodwill Industries International
"As an organic beverage company, Honest Tea is engaged in sustainability efforts on a daily basis, but the application process for Montgomery County's Green Business Certification gave us a chance to review our company operations through a more expansive lens."
Seth Goldman, President and TeaEO, Honest Tea
"Being certified as one of Montgomery County's Green Businesses creates a sense of duty and accountability in our organization; we are always looking for ways to continuously improve. We are currently engaged in an extensive lighting retrofit using new LED bulbs and our employees are enthusiastically supportive."

I received a sample of Dr. Jart's BB cream in one of my Birchboxes and loved it. I was going to buy it but then I realized there were a few other kinds. I wanted to be sure I picked the best one for me. This is a great kit to experiment with the product. The samples are large and I feel like this is a very good value, especially if you're unsure of which BB cream you would prefer.5
My fave is the premium bb cream in gold tube. The red tube is a little thicker so I gave it to my mom since she's older and can use the regenerist anti aging one. The blue one is good but very moisterizing. I didn't get black tube in my box. It was missing! So I got refunded full price thanks to the awesome customer service birchbox has! The price for this set is good considering you get 4 tubes and they are a good size! I still have alot left! Blends very well with your skin color too. I have tan skin and even tho shade looks light it blends perfectly!4
I received a sample of the Dr. Jart Premium (gold) BB cream and loved it, so I decided to try this set to compare the other BB options. I really liked all of them, except the Water Fuse (blue). It was the only one that had a strong sunscreen fragrance to it. I didn't really notice much difference between the red and black label. Ultimately, I picked the full size of the Premium (gold) because it packs the most SPF. I use it as a daily foundation -- goes on smooth and the tint is beautifully natural-looking.4
These are very generous "samples" of each BB cream, and each should last a long time. There is enough of each BB cream to thoroughly test each of them, this is very important since they are all fairly distinct in tone and texture. Great for anyone that can't decide what suits their skin type/tone best!4
I had tried Dr. Jart BB cream before in a Birchbox and liked it. I finished my sample and knew I needed more. Luckily, I received another Dr. Jart BB cream in a box a couple months later. After trying the second sample once, I knew that this brand was a keeper.
I was DELIGHTED to see this collection available, and was blown away by the size of each product. It was great to have four different creams to alternate between. It was nice to see/feel the subtle differences between all products. The sizes were great for home and travel alike, and there was never concern over the products opening in my purse.
Renewalist and Black were probably my favorites, but if this set continues to stay available I will continue purchasing all four.
I love Dr. Jart BB creams, especially the ones with sunscreen since I try to be very good about applying it every day. REally good amount of coverage for a BB cream too. I use it as a foundation sometimes and it covers just as well as my regular foundation, but with slightly less staying power.4
I love Dr. Jart+ BB cream. This is a great deal to try out and see which you like the best. You get really good size tubes and they will last a couple months for sure! I like the Black tube - Detox, the best. Will be buying it when I'm out of them all. The 2nd runner up is the red tube which is very similar to the black. The blue tube is more hydrating and little more sheer. The gold is a skin brightening and i think it's similar to the blue one.
Also it has a good amount of coverage.
One thing is that is comes only in one color. For fair - light skin. Which works great for me. I am actually light/medium but this puts on a good base to start so my contouring and bronzers shows up well.
I bought this sample pack after getting the black BB cream as a birchbox sample. By far, that one is the best one out of the 4. The blue one which is suppose to hydrate does do well in the winter months on my dry skin. The red one has a pinker hue to it, or to me it does, which is something I don't need. The other one (gold) is a weaker form of the black one. It was fun to try and I'm glad I did so I wouldn't always wonder if there was a better one than the black BB cream. It does have a heavier coverage than the others; it's more like a foundation than a light BB cream.5
I purchased a full-size Dr. Jart BB Premium a couple of years ago and used it faithfully until it was gone. I introduced it to friends with aging skin problems like mine (dryness, break-outs, sunspots, etc.), and this has proven a great product. It provides light coverage AND sunscreen. I was excited to purchase a sample pack to determine if the Premium was the best available of Dr. Jart. It has been very helpful to sample the others. Having said that, it is back to the Premium for me when I am ready for another full-size tube. Additionally, I have used BB creams from other manufacturers, and I keep coming back to Dr. Jart. So far, nothing compares.4
