At mohinders, we make shoes. We keep it simple and we source it right. Our minimalist design reduces the number of components in our shoes and allows them to be constructed by hand. We make purposeful sourcing choices when selecting our India-based suppliers and our high-quality materials. The fruits of our labor: the mohinders Men's and Women's City Slippers.
The mohinders Founding Adventure
Hey Kickstarter...I'm Michael, and I used to be a corporate lawyer. About a year and half into corporate law life, I started daydreaming about doing something more creative. I wasn't sure exactly what I had in mind, but everything became clear a few months after I purchased a pair of hand-woven leather slip-ons from a street-side shop on a trip in Mumbai, India.
Once back in the Bay Area, I began wearing these shoes every day. I wore them literally everywhere - work, nice dinners, watering my loquat seedlings. I received an embarrassing number of compliments on my shoes from total strangers (which doesn't usually happen to me). It didn't take long to come to the realization that everyone needs a pair of these well-made, versatile shoes...now known as mohinders.
To do this, and do it well, I knew I wanted to source the shoes right. Visions of traveling to India, searching for the location where they were produced, trying to track down the craftsmen and craftswomen who specialized in making them, and meeting interesting people along the way - well, it sounded amazing! So amazing that I quit my job and immediately booked a flight to Mumbai.
You can watch our video for the whole story, but, to sum it up I went back to India and zig-zagged across the country by train, where I encountered bright-colored loincloth-clad juvenile wrestlers, was spontaneously interviewed by local press (article below appeared in several local papers), and hopped off a moving train (it wasn't going very fast), until I discovered an amazing shoe-crafting cooperative in a village in Northwestern Karnataka. This cooperative is now mohinders' primary supplier.
Since the initial sourcing trip, I've been back to India two more times to personally source additional materials and build relationships with new suppliers to complete the supply chain. On one of these trips, I crashed the International Leather Fair in Kolkata and met a World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) certified non-profit that now puts the finishing touches on our shoes. On the same trip, I dropped in on a pioneering leather tannery on the outskirts of Kolkata, which became our heirloom-tanned leather supplier. And I stumbled upon an amazing shoe shop on the Colaba Causeway in Mumbai where I struck up a friendship with a local shop owner who's now running our India operations.
Please support us!
Now, we reach the part of our journey where you come in! We're raising funds so we can bring this good-looking, versatile leather shoe to the people.
Our goal is to raise $15,000 which will be used to:
1) Place a bulk order with our principal supplier
2) Develop the infrastructure to bring these shoes to you (product packaging, shipping, and other costs)
3) Turn a dream project into a dream full-time job!
Okay, Tell Me More About the Shoes!
They're well-made
Our shoes are comprised of just a few high-quality leather components:
These components are hand-woven together by highly-skilled artisans to create the City Slipper.
They're "sourced right"
We didn't just find our suppliers and materials on a website...we've traveled to India three times in the last year to find the best!
We do our best to find materials that are high-quality, from India, eco-friendly and have a great story.
We purposefully source our suppliers. We look at the following criteria when selecting suppliers: India-based, have expertise and passion for their craft, pay fair wages, and take responsibility in their communities.
You can wear mohinders anytime, anywhere
You can get up in the morning, slip-on your mohinders and know that you will be dressed appropriately for anything you might get into.
Okay, I'm sold. What styles do you make?
We're offering 4 different models as rewards for your contributions. The Men's and Women's City Slippers are available for a $65 contribution. The Men's and Women's Heirloom City Slippers are available for a $95 contribution. Check 'em out...
What's up with the stripes?
That's our branding! Each pair of mohinders is hand-painted with a turquoise and red stripe (colors may vary slightly). I was trying to remember where the inspiration for these colors came from, and then came across some photos I took while in India...

Risks and challenges
We have all the necessary pieces in place to make this happen and have already managed production and shipping of several hundred pairs of mohinders from India. We know our suppliers well and have visited our production sites during three different trips to India.
Still, we know that a perfect plan won't guarantee on-time delivery. We've scheduled our campaign to avoid the rainy season in India but unexpected monsoons could still delay production timing. We've set a limit as to how many shoes we will sell according to our production capabilities to make sure we can deliver what we promise. As soon as we reach our Kickstarter goal, we will begin the first run of production.
We'll get you your shoes...not even an Indian monsoon could stop us!Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

Nowadays, PDF Reader Application Program (program to read PDF Document), has become very important program in our computer, such as Office program. We often you Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is the most complete Free PDF Reader that support newest features.
Unfortunately, Adobe Reader getting crowded with added features / plugins which, sometimes we not need it, and in turn, it makes this application load longer.
These features (plugins), such as auto update, autorun, running in background, actually not so important for us, but consume our hard drive space, memory and our computer CPU, and of course load slower than it should.
Alternatively, we can use other PDF Reader available online, such as Foxit Reader or Sumatra PDF, which is lightweight and fast, but sometimes for complex document, they can render perfectly.
To overcome this problem, some people has make a Lite version of Adobe Reader, that they call it Adobe Reader Lite. They call it Lite, because in this version, they only include more important features, and remove any un-needed features without sacrifying it's ability.
Adobe Reader Lite Feature
- Remove dekstop shortcut and autorun function
- Shortcut in start menu converted without any ad
- Some features commonly un-needed, was removed.
- Remove Agreement license pop-up
- Remove Auto Update feature
- AcroRd32Info.exe was removed without log error message
- Form Disertakan fitur Pengisian Form
- Dialog ( button for online ) in toolbar was removed ("help make Adobe Reader better" and Create PDF using Acrobat.com" )
- Changing some interface (v9.1)
Installation file for Adobe Reader Lite 126.96.36.199 only about 18.29 MB, far more smaller compared to Adobe Reader 9.1 which has size about 41.1 MB. Installation process is far more faster, besides disk space needed which is 60% less. Check the picture below for detail :
You can check newest version of Adobe Reader Lite from majorgeeks.com. Alternatively, you can download from softpedia.com.

Get staff educated on volunteers and volunteering from the Get Go.
If you have paid staff at your organisation how are you educating them about volunteers and volunteering? Here's one tip. If you have regular staff orientation sessions make sure volunteering is on the agenda. Do a little presentation or workshop on volunteers at your organisation. Don't just rattle of what volunteers do. Spend time on how their work contributes to your organisation and its people or clients. Talk on how your organisation values your volunteers (because it should right?) and how they as staff members can contribute to the ongoing recognition of volunteers.
Are you presenting on volunteers at staff orientation? If the answer is no, now is the time to act. If your next question is "why" then here are a few of my reasons
· First impressions last. Staff get to see that volunteers are important enough to be part of the orientation program
· Staff understand roles and responsibilities of volunteers
· Volunteers are part of the team right?
· An opportunity to let people know about your role too!
Let me know how it goes and email me if you need any more info.

As we've been spending a decent amount of time on the trails working towards our 100 mile goal (which I owe an update on… it's coming!), we've been talking about taking care of the trails. Like most kids, my boys love to pick up rocks, throw rocks, and do just about anything with rocks. They especially love throwing rocks (or just about anything) into bodies of water – puddles, streams, lakes, you name it! I don't blame them; it does produce a satisfying splash and enticing ripples.
At the same time, we are working to teach the boys that we need to protect and care for the trails we use. Taking rocks and things off of the trail can contribute to erosion. Of course, the boys wanted to know what exactly erosion was, because they weren't about to give up one of their favorite past-times for something they didn't understand. We checked out a few books from the library to begin learning, and then we did an experiment. A quick search for erosion on pinterest led me to an image of a project that we figured we could create. I never found an original source, just an image, so if anyone knows the source for this, let me know. I'd love to give them credit for the idea.
I explained the idea to my husband who got to work actually making it. He got three aluminum pans from the dollar store. One he filled with just dirt (far right). One he filled with dirt, rocks, and sticks (middle). The last one he filled with a large chunk of grass he cut out of ground behind a shed (far left). We considered growing the grass as an additional step the project, but B was very ready to see the results so we took a shortcut. We cut holes in the pain and stuck in pieces of plastic bottles or toilet paper tubes. Then stacked the pains on some scrap wood to put it on a slant.
Now, to see how the pans held up to the rain (aka the hose).
B took a turn with the hose, but quickly decided he wanted to be on the side to see what would come out of the tubes.
We watched as dirt and water flowed out of (and over the top of, oops, a little overzealous with the hose) the first pan that held dirt only.
Then we saw as some murky water flowed out of the pan filled with rocks, dirt, and sticks. Clearly, those rocks and sticks were helping hold the dirt in.
Finally, we watched as crystal clear water (and a lot less of it!) flowed out of dirt with grass planted in it.
We learned that grass, rocks, and sticks help keep the soil from washing away when it rains, and now we really understand why we shouldn't pick all those rocks off the trails!
B loved this, and I had so much fun watching him. When his Mema came home, he immediately wanted to teach her about erosion. He started, "Mema, have you heard of something called erosion?" He continued to very accurately and thoroughly perform the experiment explaining along the way! I love experiential learning!
Next up, I'll be looking for good kid-friendly resources on Leave No Trace to continue teaching about trail etiquette and ways to enjoy the outdoors that are safe for our natural spaces as well as ourselves.

BIM4SME Awards Winners Case Study 7
This is the seventh post in the series showcasing the winners from the BIM4SME Awards 2017.
This week's case study features the winner of the Best Use of BIM to enhance Model Coordination award, submitted by HLM Architects for the Triangle project, where they used ArchiCAD, Revit, Navisworks and 4Projects to effectively manage the full federated modelling of a 38,000m2 office building in Cambridge, covering everything from structure and M&E to landscape and interior fit out.
Case Study – The Triangle Project
Project Brief
The Cambridge Assessment team aims at having a 'Headquarters Facility' consolidating all the Cambridge Assessment staff within the same campus in concurrence to the envisaged growth over the next years. The project gives the business an objective to rationalise various operational aspects and to centralise central and support services in one location.
The site is wedge shaped, 'The Triangle', and sandwiched between the railway lines, bus lane and Cambridge cycle to the east and the two lane road to the west.
Outline planning permission was granted for the new headquarters in March 2015 and construction began in September 2015. The building is due to be completed at the end of 2017 for occupation in early 2018.
HLM BIM Level 2 capabilities
In December 2015, HLM joined a privileged group of architectural and construction industry organisations in achieving BIM Level 2 Certification with the Building Research Establishment (BRE), under their Business Certification Scheme. They now collaborate with other design disciplines and suppliers to provide BIM to Level 2 standard on the majority of their projects, using a variety of authoring tools for presentation, design development, production information, 3D coordination and asset management.
BIM Objectives and Framework
Cambridge Assessment require all project stakeholders to work to BIM (Building Information Modelling) Level 2, and it is essential that the project team comply with Cambridge Assessment's requirements. Through engagement with Turner & Townsend, Cambridge Assessment has identified the following strategy priorities:
• BIM Execution Planning is to be prepared in accordance with PAS1192-2:2013.
• Deliverables adapted and agreed in 2014 to emerging PAS 1192-2:2013 standards
• Use industry recognised BIM software platforms – Revit 15/17, ArchiCAD 18/19
• Establish a through-life information management strategy including graphical and non-graphical information.
• 3D visualisations, walk-throughs and images for User, Local Authority and other Stakeholder presentations and discussions at key project milestones are to be prepared.
• Data outputs in COBie format are to be prepared at key stages.
• Specifications are to be based on a system that allows direct links between spatial BIM Models and the accompanying specifications and object attributes.
• Read-only access to the BIM model gratis and within 24 hours is to be made available at the Board's request.
• The model is to be regularly updated (every 2 weeks) to reflect material/component detailed selections or variations from those selected at design/tender stage.
• Asset Management information held in recognised interchange format (COBie) to allow interoperability between recognised facilities management (CAFM) packages, recognised asset management packages and the model(s).
CDE provision for the shared and published environments was Viewpoint 4Projects, which provided a managed environment for document uploads across the supply chain, including document control in alignment with the BS 1192 code of practice. WIP in each tier 1 design discipline was supervised and managed by designated information managers, specified in the BEP. Overall information management was carried out by the project information manager of our lead constructor and employer, Turner & Townsend.
The project Responsibility Matrix was developed by the lead contractor, Turner & Townsend, and the contractor, Bouygues UK team, to agree levels of definition (model detail and information), to appropriately respond to the EIR of Cambridge Assessment and their appointed FM providers, Bouygues UK.
The HLM Task Information Delivery Plan was developed with Bouygues UK and appended to their own MIDP. Their in-house developed drawing management system, Workspace, ensures that authors within the task teams (architectural, interior design and landscape architecture) can effectively control and audit project deliverables. This included BS 1192 document coding system, drawing production and revisioning, through its interface with the company's preferred CAD and BIM platform, Graphisoft ArchiCAD.
HLM and use of Graphisoft ArchiCAD
HLM has effectively employed ArchiCAD (Version 18 then upgrade to v19) from the beginning of the project as a tool for design development, presentation graphics, detailed design, schedules as well as production information and 3D coordination.
HLM has utilised ArchiCAD Teamwork throughout the whole of the project to optimise its design resources including the sharing of architectural and interior design skills across a number of its offices. This includes working with offices from London, Cardiff, Belfast, and the biggest part of the work was done by HLM's office in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The use of ArchiCAD Teamwork has ensured that HLM's 'one team culture' has been maintained though technology and has, eased the management of resources and workflow across this project, effectively generating a high degree of communication, collaboration, intra-office working and team spirit.
HLM uses certain internal strategies to make their workflow even better, besides their centralised CAD training and standard procedures.
HLM also introduced volume strategies to avoid clashes and to make the team-operation more successful – as an example: the Cores were the areas marked up on the working files of the interiors team – so they knew exactly where the boundaries were, same was done the other way around for the Shell&Core team.
The ceiling void zone, the risers were allocated to the M&E design team – and the structural walls, columns were added to the model by the Structural engineer. After design team meetings we left all the space needed for the concrete empty – so the structural engineer could "fill in" the zones marked up.
Model Management and Coordination
Due to the vast scale of the project (ca 38 000 sqm), the model was split into 2 main models for co- ordination purposes consisting of a Shell and Core and and Interiors model hot-linked into one another. This was extended by using the structural engineers and M&E model to produce 2D information as well as quantification of certain elements.
The creation of a project specific BIM coordinator role is central to the successful ongoing management of the project, its processes, coordination and delivery of information through the duration of the project and facilitation for handover and operation.
Furthermore, controlled information management protocols in accordance with PAS 1192-2:2013 ensured good collaborative workflows where individual models are developed and shared in a controlled environment incorporating managed change control and validation processes.
Model Exchange Workflow
HLM's ArchiCAD models are translated to IFC, checked with Autodesk Revit for accuracy and interoperability issues every two weeks. After the translation & checking all the models are uploaded to the CDE (4Projects).
BYUK uses 4Projects for model validation and coordination as well as Navisworks. A week after the model exchanges, BYUK federated the models and BIM meetings took place with every discipline to identify issues, design queries or clashes.
After these meetings, the BIM Coordinators liaised with the design team about the actions to be taken till next model upload. All issues have been marked up on a BIM collaborations online surface, BIMCollab. This is hosted and monitored by BYUK's Project Information Manager. Each BIM Co-ordinator can assign issues and queries to anyone on the project. The technical background is through an add-on available for all software platforms used on the project. HLM used ArchiCAD, the structural engineers and M&E used Revit. With the add-on, HLM can see all the issues in the working project files and issue live queries/responses to the other disciplines. Communication was key to make sure we act upon the issues or there was further information needed.
Due to the size of the model files – and 3D objects contained (the M&E model contains over a quarter of a million! Objects) live linking of all information to the working files isn't helpful. Fully federated models exist in Navisworks and Viewpoint 4Projects only. The working models only contain the necessary information essential for drawing production. In Navisworks – with the BIMCollab add-on being available – the highlighted issues on the federated model can be tracked in real time.
Collaboration Tree
HLM, as design lead, works close with its sister companies, Sidell Gibson Architects and 33 Interiors. HLM-SidellGibson are responsible for designing the shell and core of the building.
33 Interiors are responsible for designing the internal partitions, spaces and all the fixtures HLM-SidellGibson sets out all the rules that all the parties either follow or comment.
As HLM-SidellGibson working close to each other with 33Interiors, actions and reactions follow as fast as in case of one single organization.
Model Development Principles
The various models combined into one single model allows better design coordination. Internal HLM-SidellGibson-33Interiors model validation process:
• Both Interiors and Shell & Core model quality check
• Both Interiors and Shell & Core model position – orientation check
• Interior model to fit the Shell & Core – Clash checking
• HLM-SidellGibson-33Interiors model position – orientation check against agreed coordinates
• Model shared in the CDE with all parties involved on scheduled basis Design coordination via AIMs
• Models downloaded with the latest revision
• All models linked into a container file for clash checking.
• All issues are to commented back to the originator for review (DTMs to decide whether a comment is valid or nor)
• After all the comments has been answered a validated-updated AIM is uploaded by all parties to the CDE
The BIM coordinator is responsible for exchange of fortnightly IFC/RVT models between consultants ensuring a coordinated and controlled multidisciplinary use of BIM. The individual shared models are combined within ArchiCAD for design review and clash detection and a combined model is made available in read only format to the whole team for model based reviews at project team meetings and coordination throughout the project lifecycle. Regular clash detection exercises are also carried out using Navisworks to help ensure a robust clash avoidance process to reduce design and site costs.
The project uses improved IFC Scheme setup for export to Navisworks, for model federation and clash checking, and provision of COBie data.
About the development
In summary, the development of The Triangle will include:
• Contemporary building which is sympathetic to the neighboring conservation area and surrounding buildings
• Office space to accommodate up to 3,000 employees by 2025
• Catering areas, meeting rooms and archives space
• Around 1325 cycle parking spaces
• Around 189 car parking spaces
• Green and outdoor spaces for relaxation and work including a number of courtyard gardens
• The extension of the avenue of tree planting along Shaftesbury Road, creating additional habitats for wildlife
• Commitment to high quality building
• A 39.1 meter tower that will be a landmark when approaching Cambridge from the south

twenty two
my 22nd lap around the sun
twenty two.
lately i've had a lot more time to spend alone and really think and reflect about things. thinking back to a year ago, it's kind of crazy how much different i am/feel about things.
i know we change and it's all this part of growing up - but who knew that so much could happen in one year. a year ago on my birthday, i knew my life definitely was never gonna be the same again.
i'm trying to be real with myself and want to let out all the skeletons in my closet. no more bottling shit up because i've learned that it is not healthy - for me, or for anyone.
i'm not tryna say i went through the roughest shit of my life this past year, but i think it was definitely a whirlwind of emotions, realizations, lessons, and growth. i feel like i experienced all the emotions - sad, helpless, confused, angry, scared, happy, nostalgic, you name it. i have never ever felt so weak and stupid, i have never felt so disappointed in myself. but i have also never felt so much happiness, love, and hope.
i think i used to be a very independent person. i didn't really need someone to talk to, and i was more focused on what was in front of me, rather than what other people are doing/thinking. it wasn't when i experienced how exciting and fun it was to have someone to talk to and connect so well with - and how nice it felt being that person for someone else too. it's like an addiction. toxic. this shit scares me for whenever i actually fall in love lol.
honestly i think i changed a lot this past year, in good and bad ways. i'm ashamed of some of my actions. i'm ashamed of things i've said, and how i've acted in certain situations. but i'm thankful that i've learned from them.
the unfortunate thing about people is that sometimes they aren't meant to be a part of your life, no matter how much you would like them to be. and sometimes they don't turn out to be the type of person you thought you knew. this is just so sad to me - but like i always try to remember, there's always more things to be happy about.
twenty-one was such a ride. i don't know how i survived it all lol. no matter how caught up i still may be about the people i lost, there is no greater appreciation or love for the people i still have - family and my friends. a big THANK YOU to everyone who has walked into my life. even if you walked out of it, i'm still thankful for the happiness you gave me during the time we had together.
so here's to twenty two - another year of lessons, and probably even more emotions. i don't know what it holds, but i do know i'll be smarter and stronger. or let's hope lol.
here's to moving forward. regaining my independence and determination. focusing on the shit that really matters. keeping my feet on the ground but keeping my mind open. being patient and kind.
i just want to find that peace within myself. i hope you'll find it too.

Cruz Supporters Turn On 91 Year-Old Phyllis Schlafly After Trump Endorsement
On March 11, 2016 conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly endorsed Donald Trump for President at his St. Louis rally.
But not everyone in her organization, Eagle Forum – or her family – agreed with Phyllis Schlafly's decision.
Back on Feb 8th, Cathie Adams was asked Phyllis Schlafly for her endorsement for Vice Chair of the Republican Party in Texas. Phyllis graciously gave Adams her endorsement.
Then in March Cathie Adams attacked Phyllis saying she was "manipulated" into endorsing Donald Trump.
Adams would not return Phyllis's calls this week.
Back in everyone in her organization – or her family – agreed with Schlafly's decision.
Today Cathie Adams was let go by Eagle Forum for disloyalty to the founder and her attempt at a rogue board meeting to take over the Eagle Forum Board.
Illinois Review reported:
"Today, the Missouri Eagle Forum Board met and voted to replace Anne Cori as member of that board. This was the final step in the process because of Ann's disloyalty to our founder of Eagle Forum, Phyllis Schlafly," an update sent out by the group's national director Ed Martin said Thursday.
A few months ago, the statement said, "Anne refused a request by Phyllis to step aside as President of Missouri Eagle Forum."
Mrs. Cori chose instead to endorse U.S. Senator Ted Cruz.
In addition, Cathie Adams, who has travelled worldwide over the years representing Eagle Forum at United Nations meetings, was also publicly reprimanded by Schlafly. Adams is in the midst of a statewide campaign to leadership in Texas' GOP.
"Phyllis has rescinded her personal endorsement of Cathie Adams in her race for Vice Chair of the Republican Party of Texas," the statement said. "Cathie has been disloyal and just this week has refused to return Phyllis' phone call."
Adams also endorsed Cruz for president.
Phyllis Schlafly has been a historic leader in the conservative movement in America. She has been fighting the liberal agenda for over 50 years. It is a shame that her closest supporters have now turned on her for supporting Donald Trump for president.
What a shame.

Hello Anonymous. For a long time I didn't have a lot of progress to report, because my shrinkage efforts were sabotaged by use of fertility drugs. Have been off those since last summer, and making some progress. Here is a post from a little while ago: http://shrinkingfibroids.blogspot.com/2014/02/progress-report-20-shrinkage-over-past.html For a little while after that post was holding steady, then yesterday my Chi Nei Tsang practitioner told me she thought that there had been a little further shrinkage this month. So making progress, slowly but surely.

Calculated move by Leo's Wally Buono
It's a day BC Lions fans knew was looming. One day Geroy Simon would not be on the roster, but trading him to Saskatchewan has caught most of us by surprise. Gone now are the days of the iconic pose in the end-zone and the years of dedicated service to the community, so before this article goes any further I wish to express my gratitude and appreciation to Mr. Simon.
Thank you. For being the ideal professional athlete both on and off the field. One that was committed to his team, his craft, and his surroundings.
A role model for all CFL players.
But, alas this is business and no-one pulls the trigger on CFL deals better than the Lions GM Wally Buono. Casting aside prominent and feature players is not easy but Wally seems to be able to look past the person and visualize the results.
Jason Clermont, Buck Pierce, Jerome Messam, and Rob Murphy have all fallen victim to Buono's pen-strokes (or lack thereof) and have been released or traded from BC.
History has proven that he has made the right decision more often than not.
So while we lump praise and admiration's on Geroy, don't forget about Wally and how he must feel at times like these. One could argue that he had the club's best interests in this situation.
He wasn't about to hamstring the team's future and cap space by re-signing a 38 year old receiver for QB dollars.
Hell, even Buono received assets in return.
This was a trade after all.
Let's take a quick peek at what's coming our way. In addition to a third round draft pick, the Leo's also picked up WR Justin Harper, a 6'3" 215lb import receiver.
After playing at West Virginia, Harper was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens where he toiled on the practice roster for a couple of seasons.
His stats indicate he prefers the big play to the short yardage gains.
In college he averaged 16 yards a catch over a 50 game span. As a pro in Saskatchewan he still averaged over 10 yards a catch.
Could be the deep threat BC needs.
Time will tell how this trade will play out in the end but for the circumstances involved I believe Buono played this masterfully.
Like the Bobby Fisher of sports management, he always seems to know what the future will hold and how to play his opponents. Even in this deal it looks like Wally exchanged his King for a Rook but may be calling "Check" in the future.
Well Played.
Cheers, The Bartender

Here comes the bride, and she has a pen…
January 16, 2013 2 Comments
A dear friend of mine is getting married. Today I told my friend exactly what I thought of marriage. I don't think she was impressed with me. Here's what I said to her.
'Love is a miracle, marriage is a contract. Let's not get confused. Marriage is for tax benefits, a great party and the practical convenience of a binding agreement. What we are really excited about is love and a lekker party.
Getting married does not guarantee, companionship, sharing, caring etc. Love guarantees these things.
Marriage guarantees tax benefits, shared legal liability, power of attorney…
Remind me of this when I get married too. So I don't forget that above all else I'm in love!' *end quote*
Now I feel like I've upset her and I'm going to sit at the table close to the toilet. Or maybe I won't be invited to the wedding at all. Lol! But this is an opinion I had to express. And, I suppose, a less than humble side of me felt like I am wise and this wisdom had to be shared. In all honesty I didn't think I was saying anything that isn't true.
LGBT activists are fighting for marriage equality because of all the statutory benefits that come with marriage, that they otherwise wouldn't have if they merely happily live together. That just proves that it's a social structure meant to make life easier. And every one should have that.
I'm going to get married someday or maybe not. I don't know. I'll be comfortable anyway.
All I know for sure is that I want to love and be loved. I want love and permanence in one person. No wedding ceremony or nuptial agreement will guarantee me that. My character and the character of the love of my life will.
- Maybe, just maybe, marriage is daunting enough and no one needs to here Obi's opinions.
- I want to hear people say I want to be in requited love, rather than hear them say 'I want to get married.'
- A lot of my peers are getting married lately. Tis the season for realz.
- I'd totally get married for the hell of it. Like all them dumb famous people.
- Before marriage and religion, there was love. No one created love, someone put it inside of us. Marriage and religion were decided on by a few people who were lucky enough to make it on earth before me!
- I really hope I still have a wedding to go to!

Are you tired of searching for games for your Nintendo DS or Nintendo DS Lite? It is quite hard to find Nintendo DS Games Free Download from sites despite the vast informational space of the Internet. I have been searching for free games myself and found a few sites that offer a download of games. It is a gold mine, the site I mean if it really offered a link where you can find your favorite games for your DS.
One quick tip though, you can buy the R4 revolution for the DS - you can search it with yahoo search engine to find out more about it. The next thing you can do is search for sites that offer Nintendo DS Games Free Download - that may be a blog that has link resources for another site where you can actually download the game for free. It is some kind of rare and really hard to find but those sites really exists.
Nintendo DS Games do exist but very hard to find but once you have found a site, you won't be paying anything (but that is kind of rare). You may try searching your favorite search engine like Bing, Yahoo and the Big G. (you know what I mean)
I will try to provide links as soon as I have found some, so be sure to be back here

Publisher: HarperTeen
Pages: 256
Readership: Young adult
Genres: mystery, thriller
A girl wakes up on the train tracks, a subway car barreling down on her. With only minutes to react, she hunches down and the train speeds over her. She doesn't remember her name, where she is, or how she got there. She has a tattoo on the inside of her right wrist of a blackbird inside a box, letters and numbers printed just below: FNV02198. There is only one thing she knows for sure: people are trying to kill her.
On the run for her life, she tries to untangle who she is and what happened to the girl she used to be. Nothing and no one are what they appear to be. But the truth is more disturbing than she ever imagined.
The Maze Runner series meets Code Name Verity, Blackbird is relentless and action-packed, filled with surprising twists.
What an interesting read! When I first heard about Blackbird it was via GoodReads and I was intrigued by the plot immediately. Strange girl? Abandoned on some train tracks? No idea of who she is or how she got there? Ok, I'm in! I love me a good amnesia story and Blackbird flipped the trope on it's head by giving it a suspenseful, action packed ride.
What's most interesting about Blackbird is that it's told in second person, which is something you rarely see in fiction. I like it for a number of reasons. You're in the character's head as much as you would be in second and even maybe first person but you also get a sense that someone else is pulling the strings, that someone else is telling the story and that they're whispering in the character's ear. You do this, you do that. It's an eerie thing and it works perfectly with the story because "Sunny" has absolutely no idea who she is or why she was dropped in the middle of LA on some subway tracks.
The pace was fantastic. It wasn't too fast like some action based books could be but it wasn't slow, either. It kept me reading until well past midnight when I probably should have been sleeping. While turning the page lead to more and more questions than it did answers, I still enjoyed watching "Sunny's" journey into finding out what had happened to her and who she was. Even when it was revealed who she was and what exactly was going on, that only lead to more questions and "oh, shit"s.
I've never been much of a reader of straight up contemporary because we all know I'm a sucker for the sci-fi or the fantasy, but this was a good contemporary thriller. It felt a bit like a sci-fi at some points because I was wondering just who was behind "Sunny"'s amnesia and what exactly was going on with the dreams, the memories and this mysterious island. Blackbird has a little bit of everything.
By the end, I'm still not sure how I feel about "Sunny". I was rooting for her to get all of her answers and to find that mysterious boy from the island and her memories, but it felt like there was a little something missing. But that could be how it's supposed to be due to the eerie second person narration. For all we know, there is some big reveal to come in book 2 that throws us all for even more of a loop. The other characters were very likeable too. There was Ben, the boy from the supermarket who has a bit of a thing with "Sunny" but there might be more to him than what we see on the surface. I quite liked Ben. He was sweet and caring but not in one of those over-bearing, please stop ways.
All in all it was a very enjoyable read, not to mention a fast one. It's perfect if you want a fast but gritty, action packed ride. Blackbird is awesome!

Give your favorite gaming mouse a stylish home with the officially licensed Titanfall G.L.I.D.E.3 Foam Gaming Surface from Mad Catz. Designed to enhance your mouse's tracking performance and sized to fit perfectly in your home, office, or use during competition. Constructed from premium microfiber-covered foam with a high-grip rubber underside for dependable stability, the low-friction coating facilitates smooth mouse movement with effortless control. Used in conjunction with the Titanfall version of the award-winning R.A.T.3 Gaming Mouse, plus the Titanfall S.T.R.I.K.E.3 Gaming Keyboard, you'll have all the tools you need to play Titanfall at your very best.
Although the G.L.I.D.E.3 works great with laser sensors, meticulous attention to the surface's material and design help ensure optimization with optical sensors. Optical sensors utilize a tiny camera which takes pictures of your gaming surface – thousands per second – and then analyze those images to translate them into mouse cursor movement. The precise weave pattern of the material coating the G.L.I.D.E.3 ensures that your optical mouse's sensor receives incredibly accurate information, resulting in trouble-free aiming in every game you play.
Measuring 38 percent larger than the average mouse pad, the large surface area is ideal for gamers whose style of mousing is high in sensitivity. When you prefer to keep your DPI high – and very little mouse movement translates into lots of in-game aiming movement – an enormous gaming surface isn't a requirement.
Mouse movement on the G.L.I.D.E.3 Gaming Surface is 13 percent smoother than gaming surfaces constructed from comparable materials. Carefully selected materials coupled with an ultra-smooth surface texture promote flawless mouse tracking.

Dr. Ira Baxter, CEO/CTO of SD said, "Dow asked Semantic Designs to build a state of the art reengineering tool, to recover, preserve, and re-shape the business-critical process knowledge stored in these systems."
Austin, Texas (PRWEB) November 21, 2012
Semantic Designs (SD) has signed a contract with The Dow Chemical Company (NYSE: DOW) to enable Dow to capture the process control application used in its facilities worldwide as part of the company's ongoing commitment to industry leadership in safety, reliability and quality.
More than 30 years ago, Dow embarked on a path to develop and implement standardized, highly integrated Process Automation systems incorporating basic process control, process information, and safety instrumented systems functionality. The vision for the future was and remains to implement manufacturing operating discipline focused on safety and operation excellence, accomplished by utilizing standard applications and platforms, and adapting to specific business, process technology, and regional requirements. Based on what Dow wanted to accomplish, and a lack of commercial offerings at that time, Dow developed several proprietary solutions, including a process control system that came to be known as MOD, which is short for "Manufacturing Operating Discipline". In 1999 the MOD 5 was the first fully integrated control system to be certified by TUV, the premier German certification company for electronic systems. This company certifies only those systems that meet their extremely stringent requirements.
The legacy process control applications were developed to implement the Manufacturing Operating Discipline with a methodology developed internally in its MOD 5 process control computer. These applications are developed in a proprietary computer language (Dowtran). Extracting these concepts requires specialized software analysis and transformation tools.
Dr. Ira Baxter, CEO/CTO of SD said, "Dow asked Semantic Designs to build a state of the art reengineering tool, to recover, preserve, and re-shape the business-critical process knowledge stored in these systems."
SD will be implementing custom tools to reverse engineer Dow's applications, enabling understanding, enhancement, and migration to other industrial control platforms. The initial phase of the contract is expected to take roughly a year.
The custom tools will be built on a foundation provided by Semantic Designs' industry-leading DMS® Software Reengineering Toolkit, an engine for building customizable tools for analyzing and transforming the source code of large, complex software systems. DMS is unique in the software industry in its ability to process a wide variety of modern and legacy computer languages with the same precision as the compiler and development tool for those languages, including Java, COBOL, C++, SQL, HTML, and many others. Unlike standard development tools, DMS can absorb an entire software system of millions of lines to collect precise data across entire systems.
That knowledge is then used to achieve a desired customer effect, especially massive automated change, driven by pattern-directed matching and code transformation rules. Dr. Baxter noted that DMS's success comes from its generality, compared to the typical limitations of point-solution tools.
Semantic Designs has applied DMS to a wide variety of complex software engineering tasks, including analysis of large banking-software systems for Australia- New Zealand bank, discovering relationships in the enormous mainframe software systems of the U.S. Social Security Administration to enable impact analysis, and migrating sophisticated embedded systems such as the B-2 Stealth Bomber mission software for Northrop Grumman and the U.S. Air Force. Other customers include Boeing, J.P. Morgan, Cisco Systems, Raytheon and Rockwell Collins. SD also has software engineering research contracts with the U.S. Department of Energy.
DMS is a registered trademark of Semantic Designs.

I was minding my own business on the bus on the way into work one morning when I noticed a guy walking up the street. He was somewhere in his mid- to late-forties, decked in a sharp suit, shiny shoes and briefcase to match. He was sauntering along, clearly in a world of his own. What really grabbed my attention was something I don't think I've seen in a very, very long time. He was casually picking his nose and, in blunt terms, was sticking his findings right into his mouth. Three or four times. Maybe he didn't have time for toast. Who knows. Either way, he seemed oblivious of his surroundings and forgot that such behaviour wasn't part of the normal construct of lawyer or accountant types.
I couldn't help but stare at him because it just didn't seem to fit - his age, his perceived social standing, his environment, the time of day. None of it. My guess is he would probably be horrified at the thought of doing such a thing, never mind being caught doing it. But we all have certain habits that we'd rather never saw the light of day. Maybe not so incongruent but they're still there. Some things are just long time learned.
Silly perhaps, but seeing this man in action made me feel ever so slightly more connected. For all my securities, faults and just plain weird moments, so too does the next man, CEO or politician. It reminded me that we are all made of the same stuff. So stop putting people on pedestals. And always remember to wash your hands.

Invoking FDR: Where Is the Leadership on Climate Change?
Kelly Rigg's spells out climate crisis urgency. If we keep drifting along as we have been, in five years we'll be locked into extremely dangerous climate change. This includes (see the article's second diagram) 50% chance for collapse of Atlantic ocean circulation, one meter sea level rise by 2100, 60% risk the Greenland Ice Sheet will eventually collapse, 40 to 70% species extinction worldwide, and dieback of both Boreal forest and the Amazon rain forest.
According to the International Energy Agency, "without further action, by 2017 all CO2 emissions permitted in the 450 Scenario will be "locked-in" by existing power plants, factories, buildings, etc." Bear in mind that the "450 scenario" -- whereby the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere stabilizes at 450 ppm -- only gives us a 50-50 chance of keeping temperature rise below 2°C. Also note that a 2°C target in itself is not exactly safe -- it's now being described as the threshold between 'dangerous' and 'extremely dangerous' climate change.
Maybe this is the sort of thing Woody Allen had in mind when he quipped, "More than any time in history mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness, the other to total extinction. Let us pray that we have the wisdom to choose correctly." [emphasis mine]

One way that dangerous climate change will manifest has become clear. The most extreme rainfall becoming ten percent heavier for each degree Celsius rise sounds to me as if catastrophic flooding will become a yearly event in flood prone tropical regions. If a three degree rise in global temperature translates into 30% heavier rainfall extremes, those regions will routinely suffer nightmare deluges long before civilization falls in temperate regions.
...compared to other regions of the world, extreme rainfall in the tropics responds differently to climate change. "It seems rainfall extremes in tropical regions are more sensitive to global warming,"...
...although the rainfall increases in the wettest regions—or similarly, the wet season—the drier parts of the tropics … will become drier still,"... [emphasis mine]
Study estimates rate of intensification of extreme tropical rainfal...
From this
to this with 3 degrees rise...
Climate Central has a nifty interactive map showing, down to street level, which parts of the US will be innundated by sea level rise from1 to 9 feet. You can look up your neighborhood and change the sea levels, or follow a local river to see how it changes with different predictions. This will show which bridges are likely to go, and which roads.

Torrance – May 29, 2013—NavCom Technology, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Deere & Company (NYSE:DE), announced the release of new software for its Sapphire-based receivers, including the SF-3050, SF-3040, and LAND-PAK. The multi-frequency GNSS (GPS+GLONASS) receivers are now capable of supporting NavCom's new StarFire Rapid Recovery feature, which allows users to quickly regain StarFire accuracy after short GNSS signal blockages caused by shading, bridges or other similar constraints. Other new features include support for proprietary GLONASS RTK correction messages from third party base stations and a new web server interface for the SF-3050.
"The functionality and capabilities gained from these new features allow our customers improved productivity in the field," said Steve Ault, NavCom's Product Manager. "Previously, users would have to wait out the traditional 45 minute pull-in delay when they lost the GNSS signal, but now, StarFire Rapid Recovery helps users ride through short GNSS signal outages of up to three minutes and regains 5cm StarFire accuracy within two minutes after entering StarFire mode. Our customers are now up and running within five minutes with StarFire Rapid Recovery, thereby increasing the maximum possible uptime."

Lionel Messi has won the Ballon d'Or award for an unprecedented fifth time. The Barcelona forward reclaimed the biggest individual accolade in world football at a lavish ceremony in Zurich on Monday, beating Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, the three-time winner he has been runner-up behind for the last two years.
He also finished ahead of fellow Barça frontman Neymar after a calendar year in which the Catalan outfit claimed five titles.
Argentina international Messi, who scored 48 goals for his club in 2015, said after being presented the award by 2007 Ballon d'Or winner Kaká: "It is a very special moment for me to be back here on this stage, winning again another Ballon d'Or after being there in the audience watching Cristiano win.
"It's incredible this is my fifth. It's much more than anything I've dreamed of as a kid.
"I want to thank everyone who voted for me and I want to thank my team-mates – without them none of this would be possible.
"Lastly, I want to thank football in general for everything it has brought me, both the bad and the good, because it has made me grow and learn."
Well deserved Messi!!! Congratulations

Fourth & 1 Debate: 2009 Fantasy Disappointments
RC of www.junkyardjake.com was responsible for this week's Fourth & 1 Roundtable debate topic.
Click here to see the full article.
This Week's Topic:
Thinking back to the players that you targeted in drafts at the beginning of the season, which 1 or 2 players have been the biggest disappointments? What kind of additional information do you think you could use to avoid selecting this type of underachieving player in 2010 ?
My Response:
A couple of players that I targeted in fantasy drafts this year were Calvin Johnson and Carolina's Steve Smith. Both Wide Receivers were coming off of big years and came with high expectations.
However, a closer look at both of their situations would have revealed some red flags. Calvin Johnson had little talent around him on offense to take away some of the pressure that he faces from week to week. He also had to rely on an unproven Rookie QB in Matthew Stafford or washed up Daunte Culpepper. When you consider that he was being drafted ahead of Reggie Wayne, Marques Colston, Wes Welker, and Vincent Jackson it just makes you cringe.
There were warning signs for Steve Smith as well, that many chose to ignore. First of all he plays for a run-first offense. Plus, Carolina did not provide him a legitimate complimentary receiver. They don't have a solid #2 WR, slot receiver, or even a pass-catching Tight End. It's Smith and that's it. Finally, the way Jake Delhomme imploded in the playoffs, especially when the Panther didn't solidify their QB depth, should have been the last straw.
Next year, when I am investing an early pick on a Wide Receiver I am going to make sure he has a stable QB.

Taking on obstacles like death is humanity's nature
Posted: Sun, July 21, 2013 | By: MILE
Can the ant help but build the mound, the bee the honeycomb, the bird the nest? Like them, like most if not all creatures, we can't help but innovate things that are available to us. I don't see that we could if we tried. That is what humans do, it is natural that humans expand their horizons.
Indefinite life extensionist and futurist Ray Kurzweil asks us why we should define humans by their limitations rather than their ability to supersede them, and I concur with that thought.
Why long for a shot at being alive indefinitely into the future of it all, rather than not? Why not just live a normal life of childhood exploration, school, work, family, recreation and retirement - then reserve a burial plot and arrange for somebody to dump our remains into it like most people?
When you can progress, it is natural to. When a healthy seedling is laying at the right point in the soil, and moisture and sunlight reach it, it doesn't decide whether or not it wants to sprout, it cannot help but sprout. What healthy newborn doesn't walk and take up speech? When their teachers open those doors, they don't choose to go through. They go through because they must. They can't help but harness opportunities that are available to them. The prokaryotes didn't make their way to becoming fish, and then the fish didn't start to walk on land just so they could have land-fish races, they kept transcending.
When the boundaries of the frontiers are able to be moved back further, then we don't let the opportunity go to waste. A creature of contrivance doesn't resign itself to the box it is in if it knows that it is in the box (another reason for presenting people with "Existences Big Picture Big 8 Categories and Standalone Opportunities"). Filling the spaces and aptitudes that we can is an essential part of what it means to exist. Sometimes others lead the way to these spaces and aptitudes, sometimes we stumble upon them and sometimes we have to use our senses, and think, to find them. We have evolved into natural innovators and we can be proactive pioneers.
Every creature that I've ever seen, that wasn't trained otherwise, that was put in a cage or aquarium, has relentlessly tried to get out. Once one finds and shows the way, then the others go through or figure it out. The builders of the first libraries weren't among the only small groups to ever populate their isles. Christopher Columbus and his crews were not among a few Europeans to ever dine in the Americas. Lewis & Clark were not the only settlers to cross the trails to the Pacific coast. Jenner, Pasteur and Koch were not among the only few to harness the powers of science and extrapolate its potentials.
We aren't rubbing sticks together and searching for animals with stone axes anymore. We contemplated and continue to contemplate the edges of the camps, dreaming up creative ways to continue expanding what we have in every way.
Human willpower, like rivers, chisels through mountains of any size. The river of human willpower has been and continues to surge forward, growing stronger as it batters the walls of death. Our species is in the business of knocking down challenges. We can't shy away from them, we don't know how. It's not in our blood. Our genes will not allow us to. We have battled obstacles for eons until we made it through when we had to.
We take on death and work for indefinite life extension because we can't help it. We have to. If you haven't started supporting it yet, you will.

Shayla Farmer of CC & Mays
There are precious few children's boutiques in the Twin Cities these days. When veterans such as Bananas in Wayzata and Enchanted Tree House in White Bear Lake closed, no one rushed to replace them. Blame Old Navy and GapKids, where the clothes are on trend and almost always on sale.
"I can't compete with them," admits Shayla Farmer, but that didn't deter her from leaving a career in accounting to open Minnetonka children's boutique CC & Mays, named for her three kids, Caden, Cambrie, and Maylie—ages 6 and younger. "I'm catering to people who care about quality, style, and not having the same thing everyone else is wearing."
"Quality" is not necessarily code for expensive. "There are a lot of really great kids' brands, and they aren't all $150 for a sweater. As a mom, I can't justify $150 for a kid's sweater."
That sense of practicality, coupled with an appreciation for pint-sized style, makes CC & Mays modern yet approachable. Featured brands include celeb favorites such as Appaman and Joah Love alongside Woodbean, a new locally made line of onesies. Sizes in the store range from newborn to 12 for boys and girls.
Farmer can't compete with the chain stores all around her on discounts, but she makes up for it with comforts and convenience any parent can appreciate: a large play area in the back of the store, racks strategically positioned out of reach for little grabbers, and parking right outside the door.
Sure, there are days when she considers moving out of the strip mall across the street from Ridgedale Center and into a more prominent mall or shopping area, but then she thinks about parking in a ramp, dragging the stroller out of the car, and corralling three little kids, and she is reminded that a curbside storefront next door to Little Feet Children's Shoes store and Noodles & Company makes a lot of sense.
"I want to be more than a place to shop," Farmer says. CC & Mays has hosted a couple of Mom's Night Out events, and on April 12 it will welcome the Grammy Award–winning Okee Dokee Brothers for a concert to benefit Isis Rising, which supports incarcerated mothers and mothers-to-be. Tickets are $30. 12981 Ridgedale Dr., Minnetonka, 952-303-3475, ccandmays.com

Coors Light 2 Pack 16 oz Glass Set
Beers are getting fancy these days. IPAs, sours, seasonal micro batches. Listen, sometimes you just need an ice cold Coors Light. It's nothing fancy. It doesn't have a weird aroma of flowers. It doesn't have slight hints of goji berries. It doesn't cost thirty bucks a bottle and Himalayan monks didn't brew it in their shed. It's just regular beer that you drink after a hard day's work and it definitely doesn't belong with one of those weird snifters. It belongs in your normal pint glass, like this one!
This Coors Light glass set comes with two 16 oz. glasses made for drinking Coors. When get home after a full day of work, the first thing you'll want to do is pop open a silver can, pour it into one of these and start enjoying your time off. You could use these to drink other things, but we're pretty sure it defeats the spirit of the glass.

Students From These 10 Community Colleges Earn the Most After Graduation
Whether you're making your way to a cost-effective bachelor's degree or simply hoping to finish school as quickly as humanly possible, community college is a solid academic option.
If you do go on to get your four-year degree, you'll have potentially saved tons of cash on those first two years of tuition — and board, if your community college is close enough to mom's house. (Thanks, Mom!)
Since the latter school's name will grace both your degree and resume, no one will be the wiser. Heck, if you really play your cards right, you might even get paid to transfer.
Even if you stick with the A.A., you'll still have tons of career options. There are lots of high-paying jobs that don't require a four-year program, and you'll be even better positioned for jobs that don't require a degree at all.
But as it turns out, not all community colleges are created equal.
Which is the Best Community College?
Salary research company PayScale recently put together its annual college salary report for the 2016-2017 academic year, ranking more than 1,000 U.S. schools by their alumni's earnings.
The survey includes both early and mid-career employees (those whose careers have lasted five years or fewer, or 10 years or more, respectively).
And as it turns out, where you go to school can have a profound correlation with how much you earn — although what you study, of course, also has a serious impact.
In the case of community colleges, for instance, the lowest-ranked school — Gaston College in Dallas, North Carolina — has mid-career employees earning just $38,800 on average. That's less than the early career salary at the top school. Yikes!
Obviously, part of the savings of community college is living close to, or even at, home, and moving out of state might counterbalance some of the extra earnings you could stand to see from these programs.
But if you're in California, New York or Texas, have a look at these 10 community colleges, whose graduates have had the best earnings over the course of their careers.
1. Bakersfield College; Bakersfield, California
Early career pay: $39,200
Mid-career pay: $71,500
2. CUNY – Queensborough Community College; Bayside, New York
Early career pay: $40,000
Mid-career pay: $70,100
3. Gloucester County College (now Rowan College at Gloucester County); Sewell, New Jersey
Early career pay: $30,400
Mid-career pay: $67,100
4. Moorpark College; Moorpark, California
Early career pay: $36,600
Mid-career pay: $66,900
5. De Anza College; Cupertino, California
Early career pay: $46,800
Mid-career pay: $66,600
6. San Jacinto College; Pasadena, Texas
Early career pay: $41,000
Mid-career pay: $66,300
7. El Centro College; Dallas, Texas
Early career pay: $44,300
Mid-career pay: $66,200
8. City College of San Francisco; San Francisco, California
Early career pay: $41,500
Mid-career pay: $65,700
9. Bergen Community College; Paramus, New Jersey
Early career pay: $38,400
Mid-career pay: $65,600
10. Orange Coast College; Costa Mesa, California
Early career pay: $38,700
Mid-career pay: $65,200
Where Will You Go to College?
Obviously, making education and career decisions isn't as simple as choosing a school on the highest-earning list and hoping for the best.
But if you're on the hunt for the perfect program, it's worth having a look at PayScale's data. In the face of such a monumental decision — and plethora of options — every data point helps.
In fact, while you're at it, check out this quiz. Not only will it help you choose a college, but it'll also let you know exactly how financially ready you are to take the plunge into academia.
Happy hunting. And don't forget: No matter where you go to school, it's your effort, and penny-hoarding savvy, that determines your salary.
Your Turn: Will you attend community college before transferring to a four-year school, or are you planning on attending a two-year program?
