I graduated from college just over 50 hours ago, and because I probably suffer from a variety of untreated anxiety disorders I've already starting making lists. The first list was a grocery list, because I've decided my second-biggest post-grad resolution is to stop spending a majority of my income on food. So far so good? I microwaved taquitos last night, so there's that.
Because I had roughly 16 internships and even more because of the mentioned anxiety, I started the job search early and am hashtag blessed to already have a full time job at the workplace equivalent of Disney Land, and in May I'm moving to Boston to be an advertising copywriter like Don Draper. I haven't actually seen Mad Men, but I've been told it is about copywriting. I'm not trying to brag about my employment in this paragraph—it was meant to work as a segue, I swear. My biggest post-grad resolution is to find a hobby.
It occurred to me that while I have a couple family members and maybe 3 childhood friends in Boston, I don't have tons of ways to meet new people when I get there because most of my hobbies are completely solitary, like watching Netflix in my bed or writing dumb blog posts in my bed or eating candy in my bed or playing candy crush in my bed. Zero of those hobbies are very conducive to social interaction, oddly. So after googling "post-grad hobbies" with a variety of different keywords, I came up with the following list of "most common" activities to pursue. I included a price measurement, but then realized that my scale is totally off because any amount of money is a lot to pay for friendship? Maybe that's a maturity thing. We'll see.
1. Pottery making: $$$
The upsides: This sounds really fun in theory, mostly because I'm really into playing in the dirt and I'm a hoarder, and this 8-week class would conceivably result in a lot of stuff for me to put places.
The downsides: Who has $250 to spare? Also, what happens when the class is over? Do I have those friends forever, or do I have to keep paying for classes so I can keep talking to people/getting out of my bed? Also, I'm a hoarder.
2. Comedy writing workshop: $$$
The upsides: this sounds like a lot of fun, and maybe I could become the next Tina Fey/Amy Poehler. Actually, even typing that sentence basically ensures that I will not become the next Tina Fey/Amy Poehler because as far as I can tell, there will not be a "next" Tina Fey or Amy Poehler because they are goddesses.
The downsides: I know I'm a bad person for saying this, but I already kind of consider myself a little funny. I don't think my ego could take it if I signed up for these classes and no one thought I was funny. I would spend so much time weeping over the $225 I spent shattering my self-confidence.
3. Rock climbing: $$
To be completely honest, I have basically no interest in ever having a hobby that is difficult physically because working out sucks. It seriously does. I only included this because I didn't want anyone to think I was a fatty or to suggest I join any sort of adult sports team, because no.
4. DIY classes: $
The upside: Fairly inexpensive?
The downside: Would I only meet middle aged housewives? That would be okay because I feel like I'm kind of middle aged on the inside, but in terms of friends my own age this could be an issue. Also, the thing about being a hoarder again.
5. French classes: $$
The upside: learning or whatever, crepes.
The downside: I took French for 8 years and I didn't not hate it ever. "Why would you even include this on the list, Kelly?" you might be asking. Because that's what blogging is, pal. Just writing some shit down.
6. Austin Wine tasting club: ??
I was too scared to commit my email address to this meetup group so I have no idea how much this costs or how many people are in it or how frequently they meet. Let this be a lesson, internet: make this information public before asking for my precious, spam-free email address.
7. LARPing:
The upsides: This would probably cost zero dollars, so that's cool. I'd also probably meet a lot of like-minded people that like dressing up as Doctor Who companions and lamenting the too-short series Firefly.
The downsides: ….do I really want to spend time with people this similar to me? That stresses me out. Can I really commit to being a LARPer? Will the shame kill me? I hope that isn't offensive, because thus far this is the most promising hobby and I don't want to alienate any future friends that may stumble on this blog.
8. Traveling: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
LOL JUST KIDDING, I JUST GRADUATED. Why does everysinglewebsite list traveling as a viable post-grad hobby? Plane tickets are really expensive and my car gets 14 miles/gallon, so.
Stay tuned, folks, because I really will continue this search. Wish me luck!

Like most men who have just turned 40, I've become more than acutely aware of my own mortality! As healthy as I try to be, there is always the worry that I've more years behind me than ahead, so I'm keen to use the tools I have at my disposal to allow me to make better life-style decisions.
I've had a slightly elevated heart rate for a while now, so I recently started to look at different applications that take the basic heart data the Apple Watch collates and look at how it's presented. Are there any applications that can be more pro-active with regards to alerts? Do any display the data in a manner that allows me to track patterns and make data-driven decisions?
The answer is Yes - and my pick of the bunch is HeartWatch 3.
There are so many reasons to love HeartWatch 3. It's highly customisable, visually great and the notifications that are available (not mandatory) are reason enough to purchase.
Let's look at some of the different views that are available from the Views tab:
Regular Heart Rate
This shows you the heartbeat readings for when you are not working out or sleeping. You'll see a badge with a number in the middle (your heart rate) and various colours that fill the badge. Blue indicates that the heart rate was within acceptable parameters (that you can define for yourself), Purple means it's elevated, whilst Red means it was high. This data is great, I mean I don't think you can put a price on it. If you swipe the badge to the right, you can see other days.
Waking Heart Rate
This is much easier if you wear your watch to bed, however you can use the Take Pulse option directly from the watch app when you wake if you are competent enough when you have just woken up! Myself, I wear the watch through the night and put it on charge for an hour whilst I work through the non-fitness elements of my morning routine. As you can see from the pic below, my waking heartbeat was a tad high this morning - there's a peek behind the curtain for you! I need to look at why that was. Maybe I wasn't in a truly deep sleep before waking or struggled to sleep during the night. (I'll look at this with another application that I use called AutoSleep).
Sleeping Heart Rate
Similar to the above two, Heartwatch 3 can present you with a graphical view of how your heart rate fluctuates when you sleep. Again, you need to wear your Apple Watch overnight for this.
Calendar View
If you click on the calendar icon in the top right-hand corner, you will see a view of all readings for a particular month as well as a graph showing statistics for the last 12 weeks. You can switch between the regular view, min/max heart rate, waking heart rate, workout heart rate, sleeping heart rate and the sleep recharge rate (how much sleep you are getting).
The Dashboard offers an overview of your activity rings, goals and heart rate for the day, week or month. This view is great, oozing with colour and options for moving to other windows. Almost any icon you press presents you with more data to analyse.
This tab shows you how you are performing with the your Activity rings. Moving enough? Getting enough steps in? My favourite feature here is the ability to view a graph that shows what my heart rate was when walking a particular distance. You'll see from the image below that I can gauge when I was walking, and for how far, through the green bars on the chart. How cool is that?
You can set your Notifications to alert you when your heart rate exceeds a certain level. If you buy this app for any reason at all, it should be this. It could save your life, let's be frank. You can set this as high as you like. There is also a setting to alert you when it plummets to a certain rate. Of course, you can tell Heartwatch to NOT alert you during workouts.
I think you'll agree that as far as Apple Watch applications go, this is by far one of the most useful. I feel more confident that when my heart rate goes up to an unacceptable level, I'm going to know about it. Who knows, maybe that security and knowledge helps keep it a touch lower than it would be otherwise. I like to think so.
You can get Heartwatch 3 directly from the App Store here.

So, you've seen the neat sprocket holes. Now, here are the regular ol' pictures.
Sprocket at the State Fair
The Indiana Stair started two months ago, I know. I've been waiting to post these photos since late August, but sprocket-hole photography isn't easy to scan. I got a nice Epson scanner (after purchasing a busted Canoscan off of eBay), but it crops the sprockets in the scanning frames. I've been trying numerous DIY options and finally got one that wasn't terrible.
All photos were taken in a Holga 120N with 35mm - "Hacked" via a Macgyver-ed Instructable
This was really cool: I had taken some photos out in a park earlier that week and one of the images from that outing blended into this one:

Sean Danielsen is one busy guy. One-third of hard rock trio Smile Empty Soul that released their eighth studio album Rarities March 10, Danielsen released a solo project of his own, called Product of Isolation, back in January.
While this is not Danielsen's first solo project, it is his first full length solo album. Since he is a member of Smile Empty Soul, comparisons between the two albums are obviously going to be drawn. Rarities is definitely a heavier album, where Product of Isolation is mellower.
It would be unfair, however, to have Rarities overshadow Product of Isolation because Product of Isolation is an amazing album all on its own. Danielsen brings in some of those influences from Smile Empty Soul into his solo release, but he manages to create an album that stands completely on its own with its own special sound; this is heard really well in "All This Talk," a standout track, and "Still".
Danielsen has created a sound that penetrates right to the deepest layers of your soul when you hear it. "Wedding Song" is a prime example and one of the best tracks on the album, if not the best; what makes this song so special is that it is completely acoustic, but effortlessly paints a picture in your head of a bridge and groom having their first dance at their wedding. Another great example is "Is tt Wrong."
When you turn off the music, you just want to go back to it, turn it on, and listen to it again and again. Danielsen has a winner on his hands with Product of Isolation.
- Scattered Ashes
- Still
- The Light
- Back to Sleep
- Skin
- Tennessee
- All This Talk
- Parasite
- Is It Wrong
- Wedding Song

I'm writing this from Madison, WI, where I"m spending 10 days in orientation for my Graduate and Faculty Ministry work with InterVarsity. We began the orientation talking about calling, and we studied the call of Jesus' first disciples in Luke 5:1-11. Something that the group immediately noticed is that Jesus approaches and calls Simon Peter, James and John at their place of work: catching fish.
What's also interesting is that Jesus not only approaches them there, but calls them in such a way that he speaks directly into their job. After the miraculously large catch of fish, Jesus says, "From now on you will be catching men." This comes to fulfillment in Acts 2 at Pentecost. Peter preaches the gospel and a "catch" of 3,000 repent and are baptized.
Previously, I had always thought of the call from Jesus to be "catching men" as a universal call to all of Christ's followers. (I also always felt a bit of guilt for not converting 3,000…) I'm now thinking though, "that catching men" was a call uniquely given to the first disciples. Most of us aren't fishermen, and consequently, most of us have never seen 3,000 people come to faith at once.
We do, however, all have particular work that Christ speaks into. For instance, my Dad is an auto mechanic. Would Christ come to my Dad and tell him to be a 'fisher of men,' or would he rather say, 'from now on you'll be a mechanic of men."? Thinking about my Dad's service to church, this actually makes a lot of sense. My dad has never preached the gospel to 3,000 and seen them convert, but he has served as a Stephen's minister, a ministry designed to meet people individually in their brokenness. Granted, my Dad doesn't "fix" people in this ministry, he merely walks along side them, but a ministry like this fits the mindset of a mechanic much more than a ministry of mass evangelism.
As one who does ministry in the academy, I also wonder: In what manner does Christ's call speak directly into the work of those in the academy? How does the work of a teaching professor or research professor influence their ministry in the Church and on campus?
Christ doesn't only call at the lakeside. Christ calls in the classroom, in the lab, and in the office. He calls in the home, in the studio, and in our neigbhorhood. He calls us all with the universal command to follow, but also calls each of us to particularly ministry for which we are uniquely suited. Will we listen and obey?

The NSW Jewish Board of Deputies and Kehillat Masada Synagogue co-hosted a unique Shabbat Dinner at Kehillat Masada, with 140 leaders attending from across the full spectrum of society, including federal and state Members of Parliament, mayors, education, faith and community leaders.
Guests were welcomed by synagogue president Howard Sher and taken on an informative tour by Rabbi Gad Krebs, after which they attended the Sabbath service and sat down to a Shabbat dinner.
Participants included Member for Bradfield Paul Fletcher MP, Member for Berowra Phillip Ruddock MP, Member for Ku-ring-gai Alister Henskens SC MP, Member for Davidson Jonathan O'Dea MP, Scott Farlow MLC, Ku-ring-gai Mayor Jennifer Anderson and Ku-ring-gai Councillor David Ossip.
They also included representatives of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Australia, Catholic Diocese of Broken Bay, Chinese Australian Forum, Chinese Australian Services Society, Frenchs Forest Catholic Parish, Holy Name Catholic Parish, IABBV Hindi School, the Liberal Party, Lindfield Community Bank, Macquarie University, Our Lady of Dolours Catholic Parish, Our Lady of the Rosary Cathedral Parish, Peter Canisius House, St Ives Family Church, St Ives Lions Club, St Ives Rugby Club, St Ives Uniting Church and numerous officials from public and private schools.
Guests were welcomed at the dinner by Board of Deputies Community Relations Committee chair Julian Leeser, who urged all present to work together in the interests of an inclusive society. He said "This Shabbat dinner is an opportunity for the north shore Jewish community to invite the civil and political leadership of the local area to understand more about community. It is something that we probably have not done enough of in the past."
Closing the evening, Board of Deputies CEO Vic Alhadeff said: "We have the opportunity to work in tandem towards our shared goal of building a harmonious and inclusive society. This reflects the values of all the organisations represented at this event and mirrors the core Jewish belief that is captured in the Hebrew expression Tikkun Olam, which translates as `Healing The World'."

Lonely Planet names Dublin one of world's Top 10 cities to visit in 2016
Breath of Fresh Air
Dublin has been named one of the top cities in the world to visit in 2016 by travel bible, Lonely Planet.
The accolade comes in Lonely Planet's Best in Travel 2016, an annual collection of the hottest trends, destinations and experiences for the year ahead.
The bestselling yearbook, which last year named Ireland as a Top 10 country to visit in 2015, highlights the top countries, cities and regions to visit next year.
Lonely Planet's Top 10 Cities for 2016:
- Kotor, Montenegro
- Quito, Ecuador
- Dublin, Ireland
- George Town, Malaysia
- Rotterdam, the Netherlands
- Mumbai, India
- Fremantle, Australia
- Manchester, UK
- Nashville, USA
- Rome, Italy
"The diaspora has turned inside out and Dublin is now a truly cosmopolitan capital, with an influx of people, energy and ideas infusing the ever-beguiling, multi-layered city with fresh flavours and kaleidoscopic colours," Lonely Planet says.
Dublin has a huge amount to offer any traveller, it adds.
"Meet the perfect stranger through the Little Museum's brilliant City of a Thousand Welcome's initiative, where an ordinary Dubliner will tell you about their home town over a free drink in a local pub.
"Follow the Independence Trail around key sites where nation-forming events took place... Plunge into the Irish Sea at the Forty Foot in Sandycove, or nurse a deep dark pint fireside in Mulligan's on Poolbeg St., where the atmosphere is as potent as the stout."
The news comes just over a week after Dublin was rebranded as more than just a "party town" in an effort to secure its long-term future as a tourism destination.
A new brand and logo - 'Dublin: A Breath of Fresh Air' - were unveiled as key elements in a €1 million reboot of the capital's "dusty" image this month.
Lonely planet also mentions the 100th anniversary of the 1916 Rising as a particularly good reason to visit Dublin in 2016.
"Dublin should be on every traveller's must-see list," said Lonely Planet spokesperson, Noirín Hegarty. "It's pulsing with vibrancy, optimism and creativity."
Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport Paschal Donohoe said the accolade would "propel Dublin even further", while Tourism Ireland CEO Niall Gibbons said it would "surely help to inspire travellers everywhere to put Dublin and the island of Ireland on their holiday wish-list for 2016."
Earlie this year, Dublin was voted the world's second-friendliest city by readers of Conde Nast Travel magazine, another hugely influential travel publication.
The city is the "new Barcelona, without the sunstroke", one reader said.

People ask me, Why pour so much energy into protecting science education? Why not fight for literacy generally or any of a thousand other educational issues? I have two answers. One is easy: I know about evolution, so it makes sense that I would work on what I know best. The second is harder to grasp. And that is that freedom of religion is the bedrock foundation of liberty in this country. If we allow certain special-interest religious groups to co-opt the public school science classroom, to use it as a vehicle for converting children to religious views their parents don't hold, if we allow them to spout outright lies about the nature and content of science, what do we really have left? If you can lie about science and get away with it, you can lie about anything.And if the Republican War on Science teaches us nothing else, you can indeed lie about science, and the Iraq war teaches us that you can indeed lie about anything.

HÀ NỘI – Regulations banning the use of profits from property alienation to cover losses in other businesses discourage property firms from expanding their investments and make tax policies seem unfair, experts said.
Under the established tax regulations, firms are allowed to use the profits of other businesses to make up for losses incurred in their real estate business. However, if the real estate alienation business earns profits, these profits must be declared separately for tax calculations and cannot be used to balance losses elsewhere.
"The regulations have proven to be unreasonable and in conflict with the spirit of the Law on Investment 2014, which enables firms to invest in all sectors except prohibited ones," Lê Hoàng Châu, president of the HCM City Real Estate Association, said.
Châu said most business lines were now allowed to account for profits and losses when calculating tax obligations in multi-sector firms following a full offsetting mechanism, but this was not fully applicable to the real estate business.
"This is unfair to property firms, and the regulations should be eliminated," Châu said.
Lawyer Trương Thanh Đức, from the Basico law firm, said real estate was not listed as a conditional business sector, which had a requirement to conduct business, and noted that many property firms had diversified their businesses, such as Hoàng Anh Gia Lai, Mai Linh Group, Quốc Cường Gia Lai and Thuduc House.
According to Đức, when a real estate business is profitable but many other business lines have incurred losses, the firm may suffer losses overall but still have to pay corporate income tax on profits from the real estate business. "This sounds unreasonable," Đức said. Property firms would be discouraged from investing in other sectors.
The regulations were put into effect in 2004 when the property market of Việt Nam was on its way to a boom and was expected to generate large profits.
Nguyễn Ngọc Thành, deputy president of the Việt Nam Real Estate Association, said the property market went through a boom and bust period since then, and the regulations have now become outdated given the differences between the current state of the market and that of a decade ago.
According to Nguyễn Văn Đính, general secretary of the Việt Nam Property Brokers, property was not a "super-profitable" sector as has long been assumed.
He cited statistics revealing that more than 70 per cent of the country's 1,700 firms with a real estate business line were operating on a small scale, with charter capital below VNĐ50 billion (US$2.24 million). In addition, some 80 per cent of the capital for property businesses came from bank loans.
Amending the regulations is necessary to ensure tax fairness among businesses and to improve the business climate, Đính said. - VNS

Vernon is the oldest community in the Okanagan Valley. The 10% down hill gradient into the township was the steepest yet.
It is also the city of breath taking murals painted onto the sides of township building walls. We took a walk around trying to find them all.
We didn't. But what we did find were certainly breath taking.
We heard from our friend Ken today who is a day ahead of us and took a route advised to be more beautiful than the one we are planning to take. He saw his first bear and decided to keep pedalling for a further 50 kms. Total distance covered by Ken today, 122kms! We have changed our plan and not follow, sticking with our original route.
No reason!!!!!!

Joseph Brazil | @blackdog575
We've all heard of them. Chances are you've seen them on Sunday morning, or your kids go to school with one or two. They're just different enough from others their age, yet they're difficult to single out of a group. Strangely, they're the only classification of today's youth commonly recognized by an acronym: P. K.
Preacher's Kids.
They're the behind-the-scenes, Sunday morning utility players, who always seem to get those inglorious, but always essential, tasks, such as moving tables in the fellowship hall or spot-checking the bathroom trashcans before Sunday School.
I'm one of these P. K.'s., being born to parents who willingly entered the front lines of ministry. I owe them a great deal of thanks for understanding the need to raise up children to follow after Christ personally, not just by example or because it's what they were being paid to do.
I remember it as clearly as if it were yesterday. From somewhere inside my seven-year-old heart, I felt the tug. No one forced me into it. I knew in my heart it was time. I found my dad in his office at the church, and, a little bashfully, I conveyed to him what I was feeling. Now, being a freshly minted parent myself, I can only imagine the thrill my dad must have felt in that moment as he led me through the prayer of salvation.
I was raised in Sunday School, attended and later worked in Vacation Bible school every summer, was active in the music and youth ministry in our church for as long as I can remember. Ask anyone who knows me and they'll probably tell you I'm an overall good guy. I've never had a problem with substance abuse, or with taking what isn't mine. I'm not an abusive person, nor do I instigate trouble.
But inside, I've struggled with a spiritual condition that seems to have taken root in those early years when life suddenly punched me on the chin.
I was about ten years old when my family moved to the eastern side of the state. I was going into the fifth grade and put into public school for the first time. With the move came a version of the world I'd yet to encounter outside a relatively sheltered life. Once my new peers at school and around town learn what my dad does for a living, I attract attention from them that I'm not prepared to deal with. As a result, I learn a new vocabulary, and I'm asked to elaborate on practices I've never heard of just to get a reaction.
Here it all begins. To put it simply, I bought into the lie.
My pride and supposed "need" to fit in to make friends caused me to compromise what I'd been taught since childhood. Instead of standing up for what I knew was true and representing myself as an ambassador for Christ, I chose to distance myself from that image for fear of what my new peers would think.
Peel back a layer and you'll find another degree of my spiritual warfare. First, you have to understand a common problem I'm sure most preacher's children face. For example, imagine for a moment your dad standing at the pulpit every Sunday morning and evening, and then again on Wednesday night, preaching the Gospel to his congregation. During those turbulent teenage years, I had a hard time listening. I love and respect my dad, and this is by no means a slight against him or his ministry. It was the fact that my dad also served as my pastor.
As a result, I found myself growing numb to most of his sermons, convicting and insightful as they must have been. But Satan had found an open door, and he was all too ready to expound upon it. There was no separation between minister in the church and father at home that I could discern then. Instead, the master of confusion helped me buy into the world's philosophy for where lasting fulfillment could be found.
Even though I was finding myself struggling to keep God at the forefront of my young and developing life, I never abandoned it entirely. How could I? There wasn't a spare moment that I wasn't surrounded by helping out in some church function. But things began to blur the older I grew. Sunday morning sermons and youth group discussions became flavorless; one and the same. There wasn't much I hadn't heard my whole life.
Soon, I came to develop a real inability for putting God's service ahead of my own wishes and demands. I simply couldn't move myself outside this created comfort zone and answer the urge to witness to those around me. The feeling of knowing I'd turned God away left in its wake a sour sickness I still remember. There are times when I confuse His will for my own personal wishes, but there are other times when I can interpret His will clearly.
It's then my defiant nature intervenes.
I'd like to say I've overcome these spiritual defects; that I'm more obedient to His will and that I have greater control over temptations for putting myself ahead of His calling. It saddens me to think of the lost chances I let slip by because of selfishness and pride.
A wise person once told me that if they were perfect they would be rich. Well, I'm not rich in material wealth, and I'm not perfect. But I'm what the Lord has made me to be. All He asks of me is a ready and willing spirit. It's a daily battle, and if I focus on attacking these hang-ups each day instead of with a long view mindset, then I set myself up to be of use to the Lord's service.
I'm sure I'll struggle to overcome these issues the rest of my life. That's a consequence of decisions I made early on. But what's important is that I try each day to be a little more like Christ and less of my old sinful self.
Join me in striving to listen to what the Lord is moving us believers to do. Prepare yourself with the gifts He has supplied you with so that you might share your talents and contribute to the spread of the Good News.
If you're like me and struggle with indecision and being stuck in neutral, keep the following scriptures close at hand. Pray over them, and meditate on their message throughout the day so that the Lord might speak and move you in the direction He has designed just for you.
Romans 12:1-2
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Luke 11:28
Jesus replied, "Blessed are those who hear the word of God and obey it."
James 1:25
But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it, he will be blessed in what he does.

Do you know Why Online Courses Cost More than than Traditional Courses?
Americans view online classes as the best value, but are they?
○ 5% of Adults, and One in Five Students Are Now Taking an Online Course
■ Does an online education provide good value for the money compared to a traditional classroom?
● Online better: 33%
● Online the same: 34%
● Online Worse: 27%
Despite the perception that it is of better value, there are often extra costs to take online classes:
○ 54% of colleges charge students an additional per-credit fee to take a distance education course.
■ Fee ranged between $4 to $75 per credit
■ Median average of $23
So Why Do Online Classes Sometimes Cost More?
■ Additional licensing
■ Fees for technology-related services
● 55% outsource their server needs to a third party
● Support
○ 98% of colleges offer a HelpDesk & Tech Support for online students
■ Training existing staff
● 43% of colleges require more than 8 hours of training for distance education programs
■ Hiring staff members who have special knowledge about distance education and technology skill sets
■ Federal rules and regulation command a greater degree of administrative resources
● Student financial aid fraud
● State authorization
● Student
● Authentication
● ADA compliance
Some factors to consider that are hard to put a dollar amount on:
Traditional Colleges:
● Regular face-to-face class meetings provide structure
○ This can encourage accountability
● Students at traditional colleges can have the full campus experience
○ The community created by classes often leads to productive networking after graduation
● Traditional colleges are often more highly regarded due to a combination of long-term accreditation and historic achievements
Online Colleges:
● Most online courses allow students to access course material and participate in class activities on their own schedules.
○ Allows time for work and family commitments
● Course materials are recorded and always available, so if you miss any information you can survey the material again.
● Online programs typically decrease the associated costs of colleges
○ Commuting
○ Housing
○ Course materials
Online courses might be the future of education, but right now colleges are still adapting.

A wedding day is much bigger than the many details it takes to make the event happen. It's about two individuals' commitment to one other and the love that they share. It's my personal goal with each and every client to document their event with the highest integrity, quality and care. It is important to me to live my life with my heart leading the way. It's how I interact with those who are close to me and it's the feeling I wish to create with each and every client. That energy is what I focus on during the day. The connection and trust with my clients and their families is how I get behind the surface of a photo. This allows me to find and capture emotion and connection in my photographs. It's my heart and my life that have lead me to search for the unique and unaltered images that best tell your story.
I hope that by using this approach to my photography I can create images that highlight the character and emotion of such an amazing and unforgettably life changing event. In my photography, I hope to create a better experience in how my clients remember their day.

Tour banner made by Beckie @ Bittersweet Enchantment
Hello my wonderful readers and welcome to my stop on the Ember by Madison Daniel book tour. I hope everyone will enjoy learning more about this amazing novel. Thank you for stopping by.
By Madison Daniel
~Book One in the Ember Series~
A touch of fire.
A soul lost to darkness.
A longing to change the past.
Max Valentine is 18, alone and has the power of a thousand suns at his fingertips. The crush of love will haunt him. The promise of normalcy will elude him. With a song in his heart and a guitar in his hand he will discover the painful truth...
...love never dies but it can kill.
Prologue: Nightmares
~Stop Crying Your Heart Out: Oasis~
"Hold on."
"Hold on. Don't be scared."
Please don't let go. The pain is dizzying. Just do not let go of her. This is my
fault, I'm sure of that now. Look her in the eyes and don't let go of her. Whatever
happens, don't let her be scared. Be stronger, for her.
Nothing else matters now. Not the pain. Not my mistake. Not the taste of blood
in my throat. Not the smell of ash all around us. All that matters is her…just her. Hold
"Hold on a little longer!" I scream. I'm starting to panic. Stop it! You know what
happens when you panic. I have to calm down. Just breathe. Stay calm. Do it now, for
"Max I'm slipping!" she screams.
"No! I won't let it happen!" I say focused. But she was right. I was losing her.
I'm heating up again. Try harder and focus.
"Help me Max! My hands hurt…it burns! Help me! Please!" she cries louder. I'm so dizzy now. It's too hot. I'm too hot now. I can't hold her. She slips away and my heart breaks.
"Noooooooo!!!" she wails but her voice sounds so far away now.
Slow motion again. The dark pulls at the sides of my eyes and they burn something awful. Fight it. Fight the darkness. I reach out in front of me as far as I can. My eyes burn and I cannot see through my tears. But I can still see the look of terror on her face. I can still see her tears and her burnt and broken hands.
"Please no!" I beg. The world grows heavy.
"Don't go…don't go away…" Now I was screaming. She falls away.
I fade away…blackness.
~ Only Happy When It Rains ~
"Pour your misery down on me..." - Garbage
Sometimes the best muse...is a dark one.
My name is Madison Daniel and I write the Ember series. In my series there is the constant shadowing of dark over light. The fight for a new dawn, a new day. I've found that when looking for inspiration in my writing, the darkness can be a powerful motivator. Why is that? Because you cannot have the light without the dark.
Angels fall...heroes die...tomorrow can hurt AND our stories are better because of it. Lets be honest, there isn't a writer out there that doesn't enjoy writing "the bad guy" more than their beloved protagonist. Some will not admit it but it is true. Our anti-heroes let us experience a form of writing freedom and we love that! The darker your dilemma, the more devastating your environment, the more evil your "big bad" IS, the brighter your hero or heroine will shine.
Call me wicked but I adore my "evil doers"...they are so fun to inhabit. So absolutely cathartic. Bad day at work? Use it. Fight with someone you love/hate? Channel it. Let that horrible character in your latest manuscript free. Abuse his or hers evilness. Do it with a smile. That way, when it is time for your "literary light" to shine...it will burn that much hotter.
On that rare occasion, the hero/heroine IS the "big bad"...the darkness. This has been a new writing challenge for me. I have just recently discovered the absolute joy of penning this phenomenon. I was recently asked to share in an anthology of timeless and foreboding love stories. I had to follow one rule...keep it dark. So, I searched my extensive library of music and found the darkest of the dark playlists. As the many different "moody serenades" filled my head, I wrote on. Little did I know it would unleash a storm inside me. A new muse so dominate, so passionate, that I am still haunted by her. She started as the brightest of lights but quickly became something much more devilish. My evil literary crush! This hurricane is named "Neve" and I will be unleashing her on the literary world soon. You've been warned.
Don't get me wrong...the heroic he-men and the heavenly angels are a blast to write too! Experiencing their trials against "the worst of things" will always be the main reason we lose ourselves in a good book or great series. I just wanted to point the spotlight on the "shadows" for a quick glimpse.
As my guest blog comes to an end, I'd like to leave you with this...
...don't be afraid of the DARK.
Embrace it.
"I only smile in the dark..."
Music is LIFE and the written word is our SOUL. Music and writing have been my true ambition since I was a child. I have used music in every form possible; writing it, performing it, healing with it, etc. I call it my "life's soundtrack." I have always written in some form, from comic books to screenplays to short stories and now the new series "Ember." I have spent my writing life inspired by all the music of the universe, 80's movies and eye candy. When not writing I enjoy dreaming out loud, challenging the real world and inspiring the ones I love. I have found a true passion for my stories and characters and am eager to share them with the world. See you on the next book tour...M.D.

Wedding is one of the main ceremonials in human life and choosing the ideal wedding bands is also a part of wedding ceremony. Nowadays assortment of bridal jewelry has no limits. Wedding rings should become symbols of sacred union between enamored people. But why should these symbols of eternal love be a wearable piece of precious metal? On the Internet I found an interesting alternative idea.
Have you ever thought that you can do wedding tattoo instead of jewelry rings? Advantages are evident. First of all it will be unique symbols of you and your beloved one. Also it's impossible to take off such kind of ring. Indeed why should you withdraw it? Precious materials are nothing in comparison with your love.

Welcome to a Special Friday Night Drive-In Redo with Tabonga, here at The Dungeon!.. It so happens that this is our 1300th post, so, what better way to celebrate than with another look at this horror classic from 1958! What a great storyline... Dr. Frankenstein's insane grandson attempts to create horrible monsters in modern day L.A.
Another fine example of fifties kitsch poster art! I used to have a set of lobby cards from this one.
The composed music is again by Nicholas Carras, who did the music for my last post, MISSILE TO THE MOON In Color. Of course, there's also the cool tunes by the Paige Cavanaugh Trio at the party in our soundclip.
Lettuce bring in our littlest Dungeon helper and button pusher, sure 'nuf, Rufus The Gnat!.. So, let's get the show on the road... Push the big red 'GO' button next to the glowing atomic pile, now, Rufus! Here's... FRANKENSTEIN'S DAUGHTER!
Here's a group of teens in their thirties! That's Harold (MUTINY IN OUTER SPACE) Lloyd Jr. as Don, Sally (THE UNEARTHLY) Todd as Suzie, John (MAD DOCTOR OF BLOOD ISLAND) Ashley as Johnny and Sandra (THE TERROR) Knight as Trudy.
Donald (ON THE THRESHOLD OF SPACE) Murphy plays Oliver Frank and Felix (CURSE OF THE FACELESS MAN) Locher plays Professor Morton, Trudy's uncle. For me, it always sounded like Felix had one too many marbles in his mouth when he did his lines.
Oliver tries to get uptight Trudy to loosen up a little.
Wolfe Barzell plays Elsu, Oliver's incompetent assistant. This is what he brings Oliver for a brain, a pile of yetch!
You've always treated me as a monster, Trudy... Now, you're going to be one!
My favorite indy monster maker was Harry Thomas, he was also responsible for the aliens' ping pong eyeballs in KILLERS FROM SPACE! He had some great 'behind the scenes' stories to tell.
Donald Murphy is great as Oliver, look at this subtle facial humor as he watches Trudy transform into a hideous monster.
After she escapes out the front door, Oliver has to go track her down before the police do. Look at her muscles!
One of the greatest movie newspaper headlines, ever!!
Oliver scores a date with Suzie and then procedes to show her what a sleazeball he is!
Oliver's filled with delight as he mows Suzie down with his bumper!
Harry Thomas said that when he made the mask, the producers had not informed him that the monster was supposed to be a female run over by a car, so, without knowing, he made the thing look like an old boxer run over by a truck! They had to film it the way it was because of budgetary and time restraints. Budget was $60,000.
This came to me when I was looking at the still.
The freakin' thing's a beast! First, stinging judo chops, then, a bone-crunching spinal adjustment!
Oliver has to shoot the thing up with some horse tranquilizers to get it calmed down!
The party's near the end of the movie, here, Paige Cavanaugh and his pals cut loose with a couple of classic fifties monster movie tunes!
A cat wearing this mask scares the holy crap out of Trudy!
Don doesn't seem concerned about Suzie gone missing as he belts out the tune, "Daddy-Bird."
Detective Dillon is played by Robert (FORBIDDEN PLANET) Dix, son of Richard (TRANSATLANTIC TUNNEL) Dix. He's dead within another minute.
Shadows at their best!
I always thought of John Ashley as pretty much a jock, but, when he tries to hit the monster with that beaker of acid, he completely misses! Luckily, it hits Oliver right on the bean!
Oliver goes down screaming!
While the monster is watching Oliver die on the floor, it accidently catches it's rubber suit on fire with a bunsen burner!

Best thing about this movie is Sally Todd's sexy performance as teenage tease Suzy Lawler. Donald Murphy plays the best psychopathic mad scientist ever.

On Saturday 8th August I attended The Grand Opening of The Modified Emporium on Spennymoor High Street County Durham. It's the place to visit for amazing body jewellery, alternative fashion and great gifts. The idea for The Modified Emporium was born by founder Laura Russon's obsession with alternative fashion, body modification and a love for the unique and unusual.
The theme for the opening was 'The Mad Hatter's Tea Party' with compulsory tea and a splendid collection of cakes and buns I felt like I was Alice that had just fallen down the rabbit hole.
I asked Laura some questions about her business and new shop;
Q1: How did you come up with the idea for The Modified Emporium?
The idea for the Modified Emporium has evolved naturally from a love of upcycling broken or unloved things into something totally different and funky combined with not being able to afford similar things from the big companies. I've been running a little online shop for a few years now and wanted to branch out and be able to provide unique and different items for affordable prices.
Q2: What does an average day look like for you?
For me an average day is kitty cuddles in bed with a coffee, then a walk down the shop to natter with my customers and play with my paints and bits of things to make new pieces.
Q3: Why should people come to The Modified Emporium?
My shop is totally unique, people coming here want something no-one else has or will ever have.
Q4:How does it feel to have your own shop?
Owning my own shop is scary, but so much fun! I love seeing it everyday and when customers show actual excitement over my products... There's no feeling like it.
Above right is Laura adorning her top hat in spirit of the Mad Hatter's tea party. I really enjoyed my visit to the shop. If you do get a chance why not drop in and take in the wonder that is The Modified Emporium.
Good Luck with the shop Laura!

WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU is good for me, too...
(4 out of 5 stars)
"After having two albums and a recording contract buried by RCA suits with no sense of revisionist blues, Treat Her Right packed up their beer-soaked bar tunes and headed back to Boston where the clubs were small and the recording studios even smaller. The result was 1991's WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU, a passionate sampling of the group's ability to turn low-fi swamp muck and raunchy blues obscurities into pure gold. Among the cover tunes were Bob Dylan's "From A Buick 6", The Rolling Stones' "Factory Girl", and John Lee Hooker's "Tease Me"--all tattooed with Treat Her Right's 100% Grade-A voodoo. A handful of smart and quirky originals rounded out the disc, making the band one of the best kept secrets of the late 80s/early 90s. Somewhere out there, you know Dr. John is listening to WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU and smiling a big, gumbo-stained grin..."
This is Good For You
P. Rose | Connecticut | 04/25/2001
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Treat Her Right was one of those bands that should have been heard live. They brought a twist to the Chicago blues sound - a Bostonized blues that hits the mark. Their two "studio" recordings did not capture the essence of their sound - raw, gutteral, bluesy... LIVE. "What's Good For You" fixes what a studio tends destroy for earlier THR records - a live studio album. The album was recorded by the band in a single session - using the approach that so many great Chess blues albums were recorded. This approach makes the album feel more like a set than an album - finding a groove that is carried from the first cut - the classic Buck Owens tune "Rhythm and Booze" - all the way through to the last track "Come Back". The album is mostly covers of songs by the Stones, Dylan, Johnny Lee Hooker and Willie Dixon - all to great effect. The disc is well worth the investment -but don't forget to grab a beer or two for the full effect."

"Was one of the best vocalists around the local Boston scene. This is by far Treat Her Right's Best album-- THR came before Morphine, btw. This is a wonderful blues album. period. It's raw, edgy basement music that'll have you grooving through your kitchen, if yer not careful."

Greek premier Alexis Tsipras has accused Europe's creditor powers of issuing "absurd demands" and come close to warning that his far-Left government will detonate a pan-European political and strategic crisis if pushed any further.
Writing for Le Monde in a tone of furious defiance after the latest set of talks reached an impasse, Mr Tsipras said the eurozone's dominant players were by degrees bringing about the "complete abolition of democracy in Europe" and were ushering in a technocratic monstrosity with powers to subjugate states that refuse to accept the "doctrines of extreme neoliberalism".
"For those countries that refuse to bow to the new authority, the solution will be simple: Harsh punishment. Judging from the present circumstances, it appears that this new European power is being constructed, with Greece being the first victim," he said.
The Greek leader, head of the radical-Left Syriza government, issued a stark warning that his country will not submit to these demands and will instead take action "to entirely transform the economic and political balances throughout the West."
Alexis Tsipras made his thoughts known in a piece for Le Monde, the French newspaper
"If some, however, think or want to believe that this decision concerns only Greece, they are making a grave mistake. I would suggest that they re-read Hemingway's masterpiece, "For Whom the Bell Tolls"," he said.
The words originally come from John Donne's Meditation XVII, with its poignant reminder that the arrogant can be blind to their own demise. "Perchance he for whom this bell tolls may be so ill, as that he knows not it tolls for him," it reads.
Mr Tsipras's article is a thinly-disguised warning that Greece may choose to default on roughly €330bn of debt in the biggest sovereign default ever, and pull out of the euro, rather than breech its key red lines.
The debts are mostly to European official creditors and the European Central Bank. The situation has become critical after depositors withdrew €800m from Greek banks in two days at the end of last week, heightening fears that capital controls may be imminent.
Mr Tsipras's choice of words also implies that Greece may turn its back on the Western security system, presumably by shifting into the orbit of Russia and China.
The article comes as Panagiotis Lafazanis, the energy minister and head of Syriza's powerful Left Platform, returns from Moscow after securing a provisional deal with Gazprom to build part of the "Turkish Stream" gas pipeline through Greece.
The Russian energy minister, Alexander Novak, said over the weekend that the project has been agreed in principle. " We are now discussing technical details," he said.
Greek officials have told The Telegraph that Russia is offering up to €2bn in up-front credit to sweeten the arrangement, though it will not be a state-to-state transaction.
Mr Tsipras visited the Kremlin in April, where he met with Vladimir Putin
Mr Lafazanis said Greece is taking further steps to join the so-called BRICS bank, a multilateral lender created by Russia, Brazil, China, and South Africa. He hinted that this may unlock some form of "financial support" for Greece very quickly.
It is unclear whether the tough language from Athens is yet more brinkmanship as the Greek crisis comes to a head in June, or whether the Syriza movement is no longer counting on any substantive shift by the creditor bloc, and has resolved to go down fighting whatever the consequences.
It follows days of impassioned debates with the party, with a growing number of MPs berating Mr Tsipras for drawing out the agony by raiding local government and pension funds. The policy is leaving Greece even more vulnerable if it is forced out of EMU in the end.
The Left Platform has called for a full "counter-attack" against the EU powers, laying out its inflexible terms in a new document. It demands a default on the debt and the "immediate nationalization of the banks with all necessary accompanying measures".
"What the ruling circles of the EU, the ECB and the IMF are ruthlessly and consistently aiming for in the last four months, is to strangle the economy, to milk the last euro from the country´s reserves and to push a vulnerable government into full submission and exemplary humiliation," it said.
Mr Tsipras was more diplomatic, but only slightly so. He said the creditor bloc was determined to "make an example out of Greece" so that no other country would be tempted to defy the austerity regime.
The Greek prime minister disputed claims by the EU-IMF 'institutions" that Syriza had failed to deliver on reforms, accusing that the inspectors of turning a "blind eye" to corrupt practices under the previous government when it served their interests.
The clash on labour rights is pivotal to the confrontation. Syriza has agreed to work with the International Labour Organisation on flexible work practices but says it will not abandon its core demands for full collective bargaining protection.
The arguments are likely to exasperate EU and IMF officials, who deny adamantly that they are pushing an ideological line or attempting to erode progressive labour laws.
Mr Tsipras appeared to acknowledge that there is little or no chance of reaching a deal with the official negotiators and technocrats. The matter has moved to a higher level and is at this point entirely political.
"The decision is now not in the hands of the institutions, which in any case are not elected and are not accountable to the people, but rather in the hands of Europe's leaders," he said.

San Luis Obispo County counsel dismisses all allegations made by Lisa Schicker of Los Osos against Public Works Director Paavo Ogren
In a withering final report, County Counsel Warren Jensen has thoroughly dismissed allegations that county Public Works Director Paavo Ogren has a conflict of interest or is otherwise biased in his supervision of the Los Osos sewer project.
The accusations brought by Lisa Schicker, a former member of the Los Osos Community Services District, were unsubstantiated, he wrote. Schicker handed in 1,300 pages of documents in April.
"My estimate is that it took at least 50 hours to read the 1,300-plus pages, do some independent research, and write up my conclusions," Jensen wrote in an e-mail to The Tribune.
"That's at least $10,000, when you consider our full office overhead," he wrote.
"The 'evidence' she submitted consists almost exclusively of her personal opinions, without corroborating details or documentation," Jensen wrote in his report.
Many documents Schicker gave him were "authored by Ms. Schicker or others who have staked out partisan positions that are consistently at odds with county staff," he wrote.
Schicker could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
Jensen's report elaborates on preliminary findings he reported in August.
The report will likely not end the routine attacks by some in Los Osos on Ogren and county Supervisor Bruce Gibson.
A dozen or so sewer opponents routinely go to Tuesday Board of Supervisors meetings to criticize them — and, before she retired, Supervisor Shirley Bianchi — for their handling of the Los Osos sewer issue.
County employees generally take the heat; Jensen's report is one of the few times they have thrown criticism back at their detractors.
In addition to being partisan, the documents Schicker submitted can't be used in court, Jensen wrote, because they are inadmissible hearsay, "lay opinions without foundation," or "simply are not relevant."
Jensen outlined the four types of conflict of interest possible under California law, and said Schicker had not proved Ogren guilty of any of them.
Jensen also looked into an allegation frequently raised by Schicker and others, that the engineering firm Montgomery, Watson, Harza had engaged in "bid rigging" in Florida. He noted that a speaker at one San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors meeting had said there were felony convictions in Florida.
Again, Jensen said Schicker and her supporters gave no source documents to back up the allegations, only newspaper articles.
Jensen wrote that the Florida attorney general's opinion to which Schicker referred — he said it is available on the state's Web site — does not refer to Montgomery, Watson, Harza and focuses instead on the procedures undertaken by the city of Cape Coral.
He said he could find no evidence of criminal prosecutions, adding that there is no pending investigation by either the Department of Justice or FBI.

One of the easiest ways to have fun with your look is through your nails. I am personally not of the opinion that your nails have to match what you're wearing; it is unrealistic and honestly unnecessary. Lately extreme colors are all the rage. It's fun to play around with different colors and nail art. I sometimes like to add glitter or an interesting design. The best part is that if one style is too much for you, it is easy to remove and try something else. Fabulous fingertips can be the perfect addition to your look!Thanks for reading!

Mocha Porter Ice Cream
Oh gosh. It's that time of year. It's ice cream season again. Not that I stopped eating ice cream all winter or anything; now I'll just eat 2-3 times as much. I blame Jeni and David for the overindulgence. If their creations weren't blatantly staring me in the face from their place on the bookshelf all day, this blog wouldn't always have an almost monthly spiel on how much I love the stuff. This may be the sixth ice cream post I've done in 10 months of this blog's existence but trust me, there will be more. Deal with it.
I've become a bit of a beer fan in the last few months. My college town was really into the whole craft beer industry so it was hard to go to any restaurant or bar and resist trying some of the crazy beers they'd have for tap takeovers and steal-a-pints. I never really used to like alcohol (or drink it for that matter) until I turned 21. Then I began to pair wines and beers with food at restaurants and saw I was missing out on a really interesting, scientific, and delicious art form. And, as with most things, I seem to be drawn to the sweeter brews: porters, stouts, wheats. Back on St. Patrick's Day I saw so much hype about Guinness floats (Guinness poured over vanilla ice cream). I tried it. It was amazing. From that moment on I scoured the Internet in search of some kind of beer ice cream and of course it all came back to Jeni and her wild concoctions. In her book she has a recipe for a Kona stout ice cream so I took that, a bottle of Tommyknocker Cocoa Porter, and made what I think is my favorite among the ice creams I've tried since the dawn ofmy ice cream machine.
Let me introduce you to Mocha Porter Ice Cream.
This ice cream takes all of the good aspects of a mocha frappuccino, the strong and slightly bitter coffee flavor complicated slightly by chocolate undertones, adds beer, and turns what is usually is watery icy beverage into decadently smooth and rich ice cream. Despite its high water content from the beer, the ice cream is surprising creamy yet there is just enough slight iciness that is somehow feels cooler and more refreshing on the tongue. The alcohol softens it up so it can be scooped straight from the freezer, which is especially nice when I'm stealing small spoonfuls about every thirty minutes. The beer I used was a porter flavored with cocoa and honey so the ice cream gets slight chocolaty and floral notes along with the beer's natural strong maltiness. For the coffee, the main flavor component, I used Caribou Medium Blend coffee, which has chocolate flavors, to complement everything else going on. I have a feeling that this batch is not going to stick around for too long. Between my mom and I and the gorgeous weather we are having, I'm going to give it about a 3-day life span. Time to get buzzed!
Mocha Porter Ice Cream
Slightly adapted from Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home
makes a little more than 1 quart
2 cups whole milk
1½ Tbs cornstarch
3 Tbs softened cream cheese
1/8 tsp. fine sea salt
1¼ cups heavy cream
2/3 cup sugar
2 Tbs light corn sypup
2½ Tbs coarse ground coffee, medium or dark roast (I used Caribou Medium Blend)
½ dark porter or stout beer (I used Tommyknocker Cocoa Porter)
1 tsp vanilla extract
To prep, mix two tablespoons of the milk with the cornstarch until smooth. Set aside. Whisk the cream cheese with the salt in a large heatproof bowl and set aside. Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl.
Combine the rest of the milk, the cream, the sugar, and cornstarch in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil and let boil for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the coffee grounds. Let the mixture steep for 5 minutes. Pour the mixture through a cheesecloth line sieve into another bowl to remove the coffee grounds. Squeeze the cheesecloth to extract as much flavor as possible. Return the liquid to the saucepan and bring back to a boil. Once boiling, whisk in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1 more minute. Remove from the heat.
Whisk the milk into the cream cheese mixture until well combined and smooth. Stir in the porter and the vanilla. Transfer mixture to a gallon plastic bag and submerge in the ice bath for about 30 minutes or until the ice cream mixture is well chilled. Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. Pack into a storage container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours, before eating.
