Comprehensive point of sale & business management solution3.6/5 (145 avaliações)
An out of the box solution that works well for small business
Clover is an excellent and good looking choice for a small to medium size business in need of a reliable and cost effective solution. You will be pleased as I have been. The system offers quite a bit of integrations and once implemented you will be amazed at the power of this system. I wish we could have linked all stores together but we were only allowed three machines to link per location. Overall, an excellent POS!
I was in search for s POS for three thrift stores my nonprofit operated. The old cash register no longer fits the internal control environment and a switch was desperately needed. After researching multiple platforms I opted for Clover. The others were simply too expensive and too complex for our needs. The Clover system worked brilliantly and continues to power the sales desk at all three stores. Each store has three registers and we were able to link the three to the main server to aggregate totals for each store. Sales increased and customer satisfaction went up as well. Clover has a host of apps to integrate including inventory management, time and attendance, markdowns, and a customer loyalty program which was a hit with our customers. The Clover system is truly a remarkable POS for the price of entry. The sleek modern look keeps the cash wrap looking clean and updated. The Digital receipt and signature has cut down on paper waste and makes us feel like we are doing out part to create less stress on the environment. Overall this is a simple and powerful solution that powers millions in annual retail sales for the organization.
The one setback is the operating system is Android. I find Android to be clunky and prone to security threats. We had to ensure we had it on a secure network and well protected by firewalls. Additionally it took some time to learn the system. Disclaimer- we operated on a complete iOS ecosystem until we bright on Clover. So not a big setback just more learning.
Clover Pos
From the pos system itself, we are multistore, so that is added complications for the clover system. On the register side, looking up customer names is complicated, you type the last name, but cannot enter the full name or it will not find it, so you enter the last name and have to scroll through the list of lets say 50 last name of smith, takes way to much time, and really difficult on the mini with the small screen. To increase quantity you have to go to another screen and then back again, more time, If one person does a price check by entering an item because a customer wants the total with tax, even though you delete the item, or clear open order, if a second sales person then logs in to check someone out the order still reads with the first person doing the sale even though they logged out. From the dashboard side, no ability to print many things such as transfer slips from HQ to the other 3 stores, once it is transferred it is on the screen until the store accepts the item in, after that the info is gone, and you cannot access for questions, etc. the lack of alphabetical order on many functions, the tax functions, if you use different tax rate for each of our 3 taxing authorities, as we did (and would prefer) say you have 10,000. in sales, 3 tax rates, when they are done separately the total income would then become 30,000.00, so many of the reports are not accurate as they read.
clover has been making some updates in the months since we have been using them, which have been good and helpful, but much is needed to make it functional for a multistore, without having to pay way to much monthly for apps to do things
to get even what I would consider basic functions, purchase more apps that would raise the monthly cost out of reach, sometimes the apps will show different figures, when creating an item, for our multistore setting, I can create for all 4 locations at once, with name, label, category, cost, price, but the tax rate, I have to go into a different screen for each location and fix all tax rates, very time consuming
The only reason it get a 1 star is because there is no lower ranking. Terrible customer service.
Functionality is ok but you have to pay for apps in order to do stuff which increases the price. User Friendly
customer service, price, merchant services available for the unit are limited and you get into first datas services. The only reason it get a 1 star is because there is no lower ranking. Terrible customer service. I was bamboozled in the beginning as I didn't know much about running a restaurant yet and contracted with Clover and First Data. I called today to get a payoff on my equipment (Countertop POS, Two minis, a countertop printer and a kitchen printer), after paying on it for almost two years. I had done the lease but I guess at some point I was so desperate to get a system set up that I missed that it costed I was focused on the lease price. Stay away! Then I was then raked over the coals with with First Data for over a year and a half where they were over charging my percentage. I fought for over a year and finally got refunded of wrongful billing because "a decimal ha d been moved when entering the rates" yet I called time and time again yelling about it and they couldn't find it but all of a sudden did. I know they owe me more but what can I do about it. It took me a year to get that back. Stay away if your smart - see all the bad reviews. There are much cheaper POS systems out there that have more functionality. You've been warned.
Best POS system I've ever used. Its easy for an owner to set up, staff to use and clients to pay.
I loved that it was easy for me to set it up and for the staff to use efficiently. It would even text, print or email the receipt to the client. As a business owner I also liked that I could print out my weekly earnings as well see it online.
It is so easy to set up online and add (mostly) free apps to help run your business. We bought our clover but their is some places that will let you finance it. For the price of the system I found it worth the money because it saved me time and it was easy for the staff and the clients to use. Even when the internet would go out it would take payments and then process them once it came back on. It was easy for me to set up categories so the staff could check people out fast and didn't have to look for a item too long. This system definitely saves time
The clover is just like a cellphone, if you drop it, it will break and you will have to replace it. They don't offer any kind of insurance to help replace just the screen. The receipt paper is expensive to buy though clover but you can find it on others sites for much cheaper. Some apps to help run certain businesses were a little expensive like to add your logo to the receipt was extra. Overall depending on your business some of the Clover apps to make the system easier for your staff can get pricy.
Not Fit to Handle Hospitality Industry
Pros: inexpensive, intuitive, malleable
Cons: wrong fit for hospitality, horrible support, horrible crisis management
Easy to set up, easy to train, while it has many lacking elements that would be essential to any other hospitality POS there are easy work arounds. Handheld devices are good.
The entire support and technical team is unfit to handle the hospitality industry. They are completely unaware and seemingly unconcerned about the issues that your staff on the floor must tackle with their system. It's painfully obvious a roomful of engineers comes up with forced changes that adversely effect their entire client base without an ounce of understanding the impact of the changes they make. I and others I know that use clover have said many times, if any of them had worked on the floor for 5 minutes they would understand.
Quick and easy to use and customizable.
Ease of use. Simplicity. Very user friendly.
I really like Clover because you start with a blank slate and customize it the way you want. The system has an app called Home base that keeps track of the time clock. We've had a couple minor problems with that here and there but overall it's great. Clover also has a market to purchase apps which is really cool. We've downloaded an app to reward our loyal customers. I also really like the swivel feature. When a customer gives you their card you can swivel the screen around to face them so they can sign. The system overall is a breeze and very easy to set up and use.
There's bit much to dislike about Clover. Customer support could be a but more helpful. I've had minor problems regarding the register not opening, but I just rebooted the system and it was fine.
Clover not a choice for retail, very misrepresented and pricey
There is absolutely nothing that I like about this product except maybe the appearance and not too bad adding in stock that is already in the system.
This is marketed as a state of the art POS system with added capabilities through apps. However the base system is so limited that i would not even consider it a POS system, but more of an expensive payment processor. I had researched retail systems and most have lots of features and capabilities such as accepting unlimited bar codes, include a wide variety of detailed reports, inventory management including tracking of stock, re-orders, keeping track of back orders, client records, all kinds of very basic needs to a retail store. When the bank presented this system, I asked very specifically about its capabilities and gave very clear information on what I needed in a system. The rep assured me that it not only did all of the basics that I needed, but it also had apps that were available for customizing and expanding , such as going into also having an online sales presence. So, I feel it was either deliberately misrepresented or the rep is not trained at all on what the system offers and did not feel it important enough to get valid answers. The basic system does not even include basic necessary functions for retail. 1) it has a 15,000 bar code limit, plus other limits for categories and modifiers. - Their solution is for you to create new bar codes per item and just use the modifiers and what not to make up for it - however the modifiers and such also have limits. 2) it does not allow more than one wholesale cost per bar code. So if you obtain stock at differing prices due to seasons, volume, clearance, or price increases - the new prices over writes the original price put in. There is no way to have different cost for the same item. So again their suggestion is creating new bar codes for new pricing or to have a separate system for tracking cost of goods. 3) The reports are nominal. They look like ticker tape reports. No report gives information usable for a purchase order. I made the categories my suppliers so I could easily use the category report to reorder sold products, but the product and bar codes are not part of the report, so the only indicator of which item it is is the description and price. There are also few types of reports available compared to other systems I had looked at. 4) There is no purchase order capability in the base system, so also no way to track orders, back orders or way to easily know what to even order from sales or stock quantities. 5) I have had multiple times where items are put into inventory only to have them not show up when scanned at the register. Part of the time, I will go into the inventory app later and find the item with all of the necessary info there, but for some reason it is not getting picked up by the register app. Other times it isn't there and even after going back and re-entering again, I still have same problem, so I have resorted to running these items as a customer item which has further screwed up the accuracy of my inventory. 6) Due to various glitches (items not showing up in or possibly not even being subtracted properly from inventory) my inventory is nowhere close to accurate and at some point will have to be fixed. 7) To order or check inventory has to be done almost exclusively by physically going through my store to see what truly is in the store and what is needed and then typing up an order or report from that. 8) new inventory is all added manually rather than the scanner adding into the inventory app. So if you have two on the shelf, but two more you add it to make now 4. There is nothing that shows you who or what manually added or subtracted from the inventory app or when. You can assign specific access to specific functions, but I have found no oversight at all, there is no way to see what they are actually doing besides their name by the transaction they oversaw at the register. This is only the beginning of what this system lacks. 9) The only way to make up for these shortfalls is through the app store (which they had told me was for customizing, expansive needs - not basic functions). I still have yet to see anything that really covers everything this system lacks and each app costs monthly and I could easily be spending somewhere between $99 and $250/ month on an app - and its a thrid party app, that though approved, is not guaranteed, and then it is more customer service reps to deal with. I have been unable to get any decent or helpful responses from customer service reps just with the system itself - can't imagine what it would be like with glitches between apps and the system.On top of all of what the system does not do, I got mine though a lease which is way more expensive then it was presented to be, and the lease is "iron clad, unbreakable" with no guarantee the system works for my situation. I have taken it to corporate level and the best I have gotten so far is an apology that I have been inconvenienced but still denying me the ability to get out of the lease. This is so non-functional for a dance store with lots of shoes, that I will have to get another system while paying for this one while I fight to get it resolved. The only reason I leased this system was the answers given to me bto very thorough questions and it was 100% misrepresented. I hate dealing with tech anything by phone and it looked like a simple solution - on the ground set up and my bank, merchant services, POS all basically through the same place. What a disaster it has been. Has made everything more time consuming then if I had just had a basic old fashioned register and done books handwritten and not had to spend so much. The purpose of the point of sale system was to simplify book keeping and have all of the inventory, purchase orders, client info, etc. all in one system. This does absolutely nothing well except possibly process the payments - at what is seeming like pretty high fees.
Customer Service, Where are you?
I love that it's tablet based so it makes the learning curve really easy for myself and my employees. All the programs are operated as apps and the navigation is what you'd expect from an android device so even my Apple users have no problem navigating the system.
The system has an integrated scale, that works really well for the type of transactions that we do on a daily basis. We have 2 of the units in our store and they are always communicating, so we can start the transaction on one system and finish it on another without having to start all over again.
It's easy to find customer information and expedite their deliveries.
No tiered pricing. Their customer service leaves a lot to be desired. Expect long wait times and unanswered questions.
Excellent POS company!!
My partners and I decided on Brilliant POS after extensive research and are very happy with our decision. Having been in the restaurant industry for many years we were looking for a fresh new look that still had all the features as the old traditional POS systems. We found that with Brilliant POS and their Clover system was the perfect fit for our full service restaurant/bar and at a great price point.
Simple for employees to learn and use software, great reporting to keep us aware of how the business is operating on a financial level as well as controlling our inventory and ordering onsite or from anywhere since Clover is cloud based, but still works if the internet goes out.
Our Brilliant POS sales reps was knowledgeable and quick to respond before we decided to go with them and after the fact for setup process, installation, and training. 24/7 support answers quickly and I can send a request for a technician to call direct from the POS station and they always call right away.
Brilliant POS made the process easy and helped us tackle hurdles along the way. There were a few hiccups, but they made it seem easier. Highly recommended.
Easy to use, perfect for small business.
I like that clover has a pretty simple UI that is aesthetically pleasing. I know, its shallow, but lots of POS systems out there are horrible to look at! Clover is also very intuitive, there are lots of options, but you can sort of pick and choose how complicated you want your system to be.
This could have been a connectivity issue, but our Clover software went offline quite often. It wasn't ever for long, but at least every couple of days. Additionally, the UI would change without any apparent prior notice. (Maybe we weren't receiving updates?)
Simple to use. Time is MONEY.
Highly recommend. I'm a small business owner and this system was very easy to implement in my office.
This product is super simple to use. We use the Clover mini. With different people taking payments at different times of the day, it is really simple to track who took what payment. Each user gets a unique PIN that enables us to keep tract of who is doing what.
This isn't even really a con because there is a solution to my problem, but the clover mini does not "remember" customers from day to day. We have repeat customers, so I would like it to remember the email they want their receipt sent to. I can download an app to take care of this, but I really wish it was native to the system.
Clover POS is NOT for retail
We own a boutique where we also offer screen printing and embroidery. The clover system was sold to us as full POS system. Not the case at all. We were all excited to get started with it. It looked modern, cool, and expectations were high. When we tried to ring up our first printing order of more than 100 pieces we found our first issue. The system will not allow sales of items with a quantity of more than 100. Not a good thing when we routinely sale t-shirt orders of more than 100 shirts. We either had to make up multiple skus, which made a receipt look terribly unprofessional or make an invoice on word. Then I wanted to run a report on inventory value. Not possible. You can export a report to excel but good luck with that. My wife and I have both called customer support. We were both told that when enough people complained about the same issue, they may look into a fix. Until then, nothing would change. This was after going through multiple customer service reps who didn't even understand what I was asking for help with. When asked if we could return the 2 POS systems we bought we were literally told "they're yours, you bought them, do what you want with them, you could try selling them on ebay". Needless to say, at this point, POS and Clover have a whole new meaning for us. Definitely not "Point of Sale" or "Lucky Clover". We're currently looking for another option, over a lot of frustration later.
It looks nice, fairly easy to use. It's really hard for me to think of much good to say about it. When a POS won't run and inventory value report with totals and won't ring up items with quantities over 100, it's hard to find the Pros.
Won't process quantities over 100. Customer service is horrible. Can't run an inventory value report. Customer service is not knowledgeable at all. Seems anything you need is an add on app that cost you more. Did I say Customer service is horrible...
Payments easy way!
Good product!
I use this product since 2 years and for small business it is very good specially to process payments easy way. You can manage different users and assign roles, see transactions, refunds, sales, reporting, among others.
Using Clover POS you need Internet connection in order to process payments, otherwise you won't be able to hold or take any money from your customer.
Great retail POS that provides the ultime customer experience
fully customizable, mobility and touchscreen, immediate integration with many payment processing options, inventory management and SKU customization, online receipt storage and SMS confirmation. All in all, it's a great product that helps a lot any retail merchant.
Initial investment to be considered, both at the hardware device as well as the software integration/customization and SKU managemet. The benefits outweight that initial investment and a small merchant may need to consider a managed solution.
money hungry company
I purchased these clovers in full and was to have a one year warranty. but every time one didn't function right they charged me for every one they sent me in first year. didn't need key pads tried to send back and they kept wanting my scanners returned instead. had to take to BBBural to get money back for just one and they still owe me for the other. credit card service is way above other card swipe price. tried to talk to customer service talked to one high level rep. twice then they would not respond to my issues and that was before the BBB. it bad that you have to turn them in to BBB to get a response and they still never called me. something went wrong with my compliance last year and they were to have someone contact me to clear it up. again this year I tried to become compliant again there was a problem they were suppose to email me with solution to the fix 3 months ago I'm still waiting and they charge me 10.00 a month for being non-compliant. would you recommend this device if you hade these issues? Tried to switch bank accounts for the clover was told I couldn't do it had to pay 20.00 to put a block on account to force them to switch accounts. finally was contacted by Stephen the rep that sold me these devices yesterday 7/11/2017. he called out of the blue and not a response to these issues I am skeptical that any of these issues will be addresed
Quick use of device when it functions has been better in last 6 months 111111111111111111111111111
Half of inventory data moved out of category. ease of saving data without excel not possible. 111111
Fast easy cool design mobile devices ! It doesn't run off communication with other computers like our previous system, it runs alone , communicates via internet like an app, so this makes for no interruptions in device like previous system . If we had one computer down with old system it would stop business but this system runs smooth with one computer shit down or turned off , doesn't stop us !
Wifi dependent it does depend on internet to run , unless you download the At and t service to your mobiles but we have excellent service here so that's rarely and issue , but like I said there is a way around that prob with the at&t download I just am cheap
Easy to use Point Of Service terminals. Great for business.
Makes accepting credit cards easy
Not locked in with a credit card prepossessing company. There are multiple ways to use the terminal. I use the Clover Go terminal, it accepts swipes, chips, self entry, and tap (ApplePay, etc) payments. The app is easy to use and there is a companion app for tracking various aspects of your business.
I had to pay for the terminal. The app is a little clunky and it forces you to change your password with some frequency.
Easy to set up. Easy to use. Quick to get going from box to the sales floor.
The system is scalable depending on business size. You don't need to be a large business to use this system. You are able to add additional features later on as your business grows.
Most of the features work with the food industry. Would like to see more additional items and templates for retail stores.
Easy to use system from the time you plug it in. Has been reliable for use for almost 2 years.
Instant and easy to use POS that anyone can learn in a matter of minutes.
Easy to use with features that can improve inventory / customer efficiency / reordering.
Software was very affordable as well.
Software has some apps that do not communicate with Clover efficiently. One such app INVOICEASAP is the only billing app that Clover offers and their two inventories do not communicate automatically with each other. There are also lots of small fees that can add up monthly.
We got Clover POS terminal for our diner. We added Clover mini and we took down old kitchen wheel and replaced it with printer connected to POS system. Could not be happier with our choice. System upgrades by itself with no extra charge. At the beginning we spent quite some time on the phone with support. I am proficient user of Aloha and system was new to us. eryone was very helpful. Tech team was able to log in with our permission into system and fix or adjust anything and everything we needed. Without additional chargers.
Only thing we don't like about it is emloyees are able to open tables and access other functions without being clocked in. They r able as well access each others tables. We keep a close eye on the floor however with a larger operation I can see this being a sourse of problems.
Tracking sales, number of items sold, average ticket size, accurate reporting is a breeze.
Overall its a great system for the price we paid compared to other restaurant POS Systems out there.
Very self explanatory.
User friendly.
Employees able to access each others tables.
Employees able to access functions without being clocked in.
Phone Repair Store's review of Clover
I like the way the Clover looks. Very sleek and modern. I am most impressed with the reporting features.
The Clover system just is not suited very well for a repair shop environment. Our employees found the easiest way to ring up customers was to create custom transactions and type in a description for each transaction.
I was very disappointed that the Clover is not able to play video. We had several promotional videos we would like to play for our customers, but were unable to do so on the Clover system. I hoped there would be an app that would play video.
I was also disappointed in the high price of the Quickbooks sync app. For this reason, I have to manually input everything into Quickbooks.
Perfect for our Business
The versatility that allows absolute customization with a wide variety of apps that are easily integrated.
Subscription prices for each app. it can quickly add up to a few hundred bucks and I wasn't happy with their poor customer service. Hard to get help when you need it.
I am very happy
I like the fact that there are so many options and it able to be synced with so many things There are alot of options and it is just very easy to use
As of right now I can not say I can think of any cons The product itself is very user friendly and its just very easy
Happy for many years
I've been using Clover POS since I started my business a little over 2 years ago. 2 years later, I'm still super happy!
Manual card entry requires a signature. I'd Iike to be able to take payments over the phone without a signature and haven't found a way to do that.
Reporting inconsistent, support is minimal, labor scheduling is good.
Homebase app is excellent for labor scheduling. Homebase allows us to add new employees, build their roles and add availability for each employee. Then when our schedule is completed, we can text out each employees individual schedules to their cell phones.
Downtime is frequent, support is minimal, reporting is inconsistent. Clover is a young and sleek POS, but their hardware is run on wifi and can continuously crash or fail to process tickets from the tablets. I understand that turning tables is faster in theory with electronic cloud based technology, but when a server must stand in front of a table and have difficulty modifying the order because of so many screens to touch through and new screens to load (and buffering is an issue at times), the 'speed' is lost. In addition to hardware issues (printer dying in the middle of dinner rush), the reporting is confusing and not helpful. Where is the daily sales summary? We pay our servers' credit card tips out through net cash sales and there is no way to track this in Clover. We use QuickBooks Online for accounting, and to "reduce data entry" QuickBooks works with Clover through a third party app called CommerceSync, another inconsistent tool. All in all, if you have a problem with anything listed above, and you call for support, you will be greeted with suggestions of other third party apps to buy to fix the problems.. these are not solutions, they are just ways for Clover to make more money.

God Save The Clientele; Owl Album Art
God Save the Clientele is amongst the albums I'm most eagerly awaiting this year. It's poised to be a shift in tone (if not overall sound) for the melancholy scots and I'm thrilled that they are streaming two songs (both very good) on their MySpace Page. One is the comparitively jolly "Bookshop Casanova," basically the happiest sounding thing the band has ever put it's imprint on. The other track is the schmaltzy and slow(in a good way) "Nothing But Sunshine". You'll be surprised (or maybe you pay as much attention to advance buzz for Merge releases as I do and you won't be surprised at all) to find that title is not ironic.
What the album also has is a lovely album cover featuring an owl(above). Owl's seem to be following me everywhere in the past year. I'm particularly fond of them being on Album covers. As a Result I've decided to post an owl album cover galery(Special thanks to opfer who posted a list of albums with owls on the cover here), Enjoy:
It was quite difficult finding a big enough jpeg of this album art, I may be the first person publishing a sizeable version. Lucky me!
Labels: album art, god save the clientele, merge records, owl, the clientele

With every pursuit, I would say I'm invested in the long-term. Year by year, I'm a fan of watching people come to new realizations that shape their own outlook on life. My outlook with running is no exception. What began as an outlet to work off extra energy from my musical pursuits made me a decent runner. It also led me to experience a different culture. Yes, I still experience what the NYC running culture offers, but nothing quite compares to the time when I ran in Kenya. I learned so much in those two weeks. By the time I returned, I became a stronger runner.
Although we never quite arrive in life, it is the long-term pursuit that makes us grow. As pastor A.R Bernard says, "We live life on levels. We arrive in stages." I grew in my training this year. Minus my last two marathons, I've run consistent times with my current fitness. No personal bests, but I placed well and even earned some awards along the way. This is all ok. Overall, I am happy. However, in order to make the big improvement I want with my race times, I need to take a year to train in an intelligent way.
1st AG Award PPTC 10 Miler – Brooklyn, NY – 2018
In 2019, I want to work on shorter distances in lieu of tackling a marathon. The strength, speed and endurance is there, but I want to take time and develop my aerobic system further. I want to focus on the 5k and 10k. I will most likely run 1 to 2 half marathons, too. These distances are perfect in terms of length for me right now. It will also lead to better marathon performances down the road. I chose this route because honestly, I needed a break both physically and mentally from marathon training. I also missed how I felt in 2017 after training in Kenya. Fortunately, I'm returning again this December. Not only did I miss the benefits of training in that environment, but I also missed running with the fastest and most humble runners in the world.
At Lornah Kiplagat's Sports Academy – Iten, Kenya – 2016
Major improvements don't occur overnight. They may even zigzag. I liken it to my finances. When checking accounts seem low, I often have to remind myself that a decent amount of money goes towards saving for the future. It takes a great deal of discipline to save money. It's a lot like the discipline it takes to train and stay healthy each day. At times it seems that the hard work will never come to fruition, but usually the big breakthrough is just around the corner. Sometimes though, we have to focus our attention elsewhere to lead us back to our original path.
Racing the Percy Sutton 5k – Harlem, NY – 2018
This happened with my music. Focusing on raising my one-year-old son this year led me to have a deeper understanding of what I practiced ten years ago. Before I moved to New York, I spent countless hours working out harmonic ideas. I just couldn't seem to execute what I practiced in an improvisational setting. Admittedly impatient, I wanted to have that modern "New York jazz sound" before moving to New York. It wasn't the only side to my personality, though. I realized that I needed to be in the moment and play what I felt with no boundaries in genre. After all, forcing ideas is counter-intuitive to improvisation. Even worse, you end up not listening to the room and the band. Marathoning is not the only side to my running. Why not work on a great 5k road time? It all comes back to my main goal: aerobic conditioning.
I have retained my skills as a guitarist, but I do struggle to find time to practice these days. The music is still very alive in our house, though. I notice that I hear music better now because I'm not as rigid about my practice regimen. I have a better understanding of space and hear chords much clearer than before. Further, it's not how many notes you play, but how and what you play. In running, it's not necessarily about the workouts, but more about the execution on race day. I have not lost any of my skills as a guitarist by practicing less. Further, I'm sure my running will not suffer by doing less. More marathons will come later in my life. Now is the time for me to refocus on something different so that I can run a great marathon, when I'm ready.

One of my plans for this year is to create some interesting meals. Interesting, for me that is you might find many of them a little ordinary. And I love nothing better than to integrate technology into my passions.
I downloaded 'Jamie Oliver 20 Minute Meals' for my iPhone, which as the name would indicate suits me down to the ground, simple yet a little interesting . Jamie (and the designers) have put a lot of love into this little application, it is very easy to use. Yesterday I cooked up the above. And yes the above image is from the application mine did not looks as delectable, it it tasted pretty damn good if I may say so myself!
By the way, you may have noticed my avoidance of the words – new year resolutions, I am calling these new year plans, it seems resolutions never pan out. EVER!

OCEANSIDE, California — Supporters of President-elect Donald Trump gathered on Veterans Day to wave signs in support of veterans and the incoming Commander-in-Chief at the entrance to San Diego's Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton.
Of the more than 20 people there supporting veterans and of Trump, one of the organizers told Breitbart News that there was one Marine who said he was going to reenlist because of Trump's election. Among those that came out were veterans and legal immigrants, according to one of the organizers.
Women and men of a variety of backgrounds held up signs and flags on the side of the road just ahead of the entrance to the north San Diego County military base. Some wore Make America Great Again hats. A Marine Corps flag, Gadsden flag, American flags and a Trump flag waved in the air held high by the demonstrators. Several local media outlets came out to cover the rally and one demonstrator said that a Reuters reporter came out to cover the event as well.
Retired Marine Jeff Schwilk worked with other Trump supporters to plan the action in less than two days.
Schwilk told Breitbart News:
We were honored to rally for the Marines and Veterans at the main gate of Camp Pendleton today and to celebrate Veterans Day and the election of our new, strong Commander in Chief, Donald Trump. We were able to talk to several active duty Marines at the rally who told us that Trump had and has overwhelming support among active duty Marines. They know he will put veterans first in his new administration. They are thrilled at his election and one Marine even told he had decided to reenlist due to Trump's election this week.
While on site, Breitbart News witnessed many driving by that honked their horns in response to the demonstration of support and at least one sign reading "Honk for Trump."
While the overwhelming response was positive, one driver was seen holding a fist high through his sunroof while brandishing his middle finger at the group as he drove by.
Anti-Trump protests have manifested in several cities across the country since Tuesday's election of Donald Trump. Trump won over and above the number of electoral college votes needed to secure the highest office in the land.
Schwilk told Breitbart News at the rally that he and others decided to organize the rally to counter the swell of anti-Trump protests and in an effort to honor the military on Veterans Day.
During his campaign, Trump criticized the shrinking size of the Army, Navy and Air Force under President Barack Obama and aging Air Force aircraft. He rolled out plans to rebuild the U.S. military, provide the Air Force with "the 1,200 fighter aircraft they need" and increase the number of Navy ships.

Ted Strickland, Democrats' top prospect to take on Ohio Sen. Rob Portman (R), is facing a litany of questions about his ties to the clean-energy industry that could weigh heavily on coal-country voters.
To prepare for a possible Senate bid, the former Ohio governor quietly stepped down last week from a senior role with the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank and advocacy group that has promoted a shift away from coal.
Critics are tying him to the group's environmental policies and to Carol Browner, the former architect of President Obama's climate policies, who is a distinguished senior fellow at CAP.
"CAP has people like Carol Browner right down the hall from him in the office, and we can't in the industry trust someone whose ties to the war on coal go that deep," said Christian Palich, interim president of the Ohio Coal Association, a GOP-leaning group.
Strickland tried to inoculate himself from attacks shortly before leaving by touting the think tank's new report calling for reform of coal subsidies to help Appalachian coal compete with cheaper Western coal. He argues that Western coal producers enjoy an unfair advantage because their royalty rates have not increased in 40 years.
The apparent move to rebuff the possible damage is a sign that coal politics could figure prominently in the Ohio Senate race next year. Strickland, however, said 2016 was not a motivating factor.
"I care about Ohio. I care about coal communities," he said, according to The Associated Press, "long before there was any talk of me entering a political race of any kind."
Strickland notes he represented the heart of the Buckeye State's coal country in the House and still has tremendous support in the area. Despite his 2010 loss to Republican John Kasich, the Democrat still carried most of the rural southeast Ohio district.
"Ted Strickland has always had tremendous support and continues to have support among coal mining families and the leaders of coal mining in Ohio," said Dennis Willard, a spokesman for Strickland. "The labor organizations for coal miners have backed him and so have their leaders throughout his entire career.
"We're confident that should Strickland decide to run for the U.S. Senate, he'll continue to enjoy their support," he added.
If he jumps into the race, he may nevertheless face scrutiny over his strong ties with the renewable energy industry, which some coal companies see as a threat to their livelihood.
While serving as governor of Ohio, Strickland oversaw a $1.57 billion bipartisan stimulus package that doled out more than $80 million in grants and loans to solar, wind and other energy initiatives that compete with the state's coal industry. Some of the loans have since come under scrutiny because several companies failed to repay them on time.
Strickland received $736,000 in contributions, more than any Ohio politician, from employees at companies that received state support, according to the Toledo Blade, which has conducted several in-depth investigations of Strickland's ties to the green energy industry.
One firm, Willard & Kelsey Solar Group, won more than $10 million in assistance after forging a relationship with C. David Snyder, one of Strickland's top donors and fundraisers, according to the Blade.
Strickland has said he did not know Snyder was tied to Willard & Kelsey and stated more broadly that no decisions on grants and loans were based on political contributions.
After losing his reelection bid in 2010, Strickland and some of his top aides formed Midwest Gateway Partners, a consulting firm focused on promoting clean-energy policy. Its website promises to help clients navigate public and private interests in the highly regulated industry.
Strickland has begun fundraising ahead of a likely 2016 run, and Republicans are already hitting Strickland on his ties to clean energy, accusing him of putting his allies ahead of blue-collar miners in Ohio's southeastern coal country.
"He sets up programs that hurt part of Ohio, benefits his donors and down the line benefits himself. When he loses re-election he goes and lobbies for these industries that cost Ohio taxpayers thousands and thousands of dollars that he and his donors benefited from and were complete failures," said Chris Schrimpf, spokesman for the Ohio Republican Party.
"Not only did Strickland pick the winners but he picked the donors in charge of vetting the winners," Schrimpf added.
The Blade reported that Strickland, before leaving office in January of 2011, appointed his former chief of staff to the board of the Ohio Air Quality Development Authority, which had oversight over the $150 million Advanced Energy Job Stimulus Program set up by his administration.
Strickland received nearly $150,000 from people affiliated with companies that benefited from the energy stimulus program, The Blade also reported.
Alan Melamed, an Ohio-based Democratic strategist, defended Strickland by arguing it was his job as governor to promote new industries in Ohio.
"Republicans are trying to make this a big tie to show there's something unseemly about the connection to green energy but what I would say about it is the public is looking at candidates focused on the future and not the past," he said. "The public looks at green technology as the direction of the future, not the past. They're very supportive so I don't see that being a problem for Gov. Strickland."
Melamed said Strickland represented southeastern Ohio in Congress and has credibility with pro-coal voters in that rural part of the state.
"There's nothing unusual about political figures leaving office and doing work on behalf of organizations or companies that have been aligned with what their policy directions have been," he said.
Willard, Strickland's spokesman, said just because his boss is trying to create jobs in the clean-energy sector does not mean he's turning his back on coal.
He said Strickland will fight to protect miners' pensions and challenged Portman to do the same.
"Ted Strickland will fight to help them protect their pensions and not allow coal mining companies to switch names and try to deny the pensions these miners earned for their families, children and widows," he said.

|A cyclestreet is a street designed as a bicycle route, but on which cars are also allowed
|Group: Cycleway
|Used on these elements
|Useful combination
|Status: in use
|Tools for this tag
A cyclestreet is a street that is designed as a bicycle route, but on which cars are also allowed. However, this car use is limited by the character and layout of the cyclestreet.
- Add cyclestreet=yes
- Do NOT change the highway category
Country-specific information
Belgium law includes this concept (fietsstraat / rue cyclable) since February 2012. Such streets are delimited with road signs:
- Note: the text 'fietsstraat' or 'rue cyclable' is optional.
Its implications are the following:
- Bicycles can use the entire width of the tracks designated for their driving direction
- Speed limit is 30 km/h at most (but additional road signs could impose a lower value)
- Motor vehicles are prohibited from overtaking cyclists.
Current tagging policy is to NOT alter the highway category (leave it 'as is', based on its relevance within the routable network), but to add a key cyclestreet=yes to indicate its legal status.
WikiProject Belgium/Conventions/Highways
In the Netherlands this concept (fietsstraat) does not have a legal status as such, but in recent years an increasing number of municipalities have applied the concept. The idea is that motor vehicles (voluntarily) behave themselves as guests on roads marked as fietsstraat, where cyclists are considered the primary users. The fietsstraat concept mainly tends to be applied to roads below the level of collector road in residential areas, and streets with parking and residential access that run parallel to arterial roads (in Dutch: ventweg).
These fietsstraat cyclestreets are signed by road sign L51, as shown in the picture on the right. Historically, this sign was also called L1002.
Often, when applied to newly resurfaced asphalt-topped streets, the road surface uses the same red colour used for bicycle lanes in the Netherlands.
In the Bicycle tags map cyclestreets are rendered as a pink line.

The Agony House
von Cherie Priest
A haunted house, a killer ghost, and a long-lost comic come to life in another spectacular package of novel and comics from Cherie Priest, author of I Am Princess X.Denise Farber has just moved back to New Orleans with her mom and step-dad. They left in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and have finally returned, wagering the last of their family's money on fixing up an old, rundown house and converting it to a bed and breakfast.Nothing seems to work around the place, which doesn't seem too weird to Denise. The unexplained noises are a little more out of the ordinary, but again, nothing too unusual. But when floors collapse, deadly objects rain down, and she hears creepy voices, it's clear to Denise that something more sinister lurks hidden here.Answers may lie in an old comic book Denise finds concealed in the attic: the lost, final project of a famous artist who disappeared in the 1950s. Denise isn't budging from her new home, so she must unravel the mystery-on the pages and off-if she and her family are to survive...

Sion Sono, whose Himizu sees its world premiere in Venice next week before screening in Toronto, wasn't much known outside of Japan "until 2002's Suicide Club, which famously opened with a chorus line of angelic schoolgirls cheerfully leaping into the path of a subway train," writes Dennis Harvey in the San Francisco Bay Guardian. "Since then he's made the first of two projected Suicide sequels, the surreal psychosexual nightmare Strange Circus (2005), and deadly-'do J-horror exercise Exte: Hair Extensions (2007), to name a few. Though not in the Miike league of complete unpredictability (let alone productivity), Sono's films have been a diverse lot, not excluding an exercise or two in straight-ahead naturalism. The mega-dose of Sono that the Roxie offers this month, however, feels like two very large pieces cut from the same pie. Opening Friday is 2008's Love Exposure, clocking just under four hours (not counting intermission); next up is 2010's Cold Fish (starting Sept. 16), a comparatively succinct sit at 144 minutes. Such lengths might normally suggest epic longeurs and a meditative pace. Sono, however, fills each canvas to bursting with demented narrative turns, frantic activity, extreme emotions, and absurdist logic. Not to mention sizable quantities of over-the-top violence and warped sexuality."
Olive Films is bringing Love Exposure to New York and, for Jeannette Catsoulis, writing in the Times, this "teenage romance of Yu (Takahiro Nishijima) and Yoko (Hikari Mitsushima) is an unexpectedly involving and relentlessly entertaining collision of contradictions. He is a tormented Christian with a talent for snapping candid shots of the skivvies of unsuspecting ladies. She is a man-hating hottie who is drawn to her true love only when he's in drag."
"Love Exposure is, in a sense, Sono's equivalent of the Great Russian novel," suggests Simon Abrams in Slant. "In it, his substantial disaffection for societal conventions is matched only by his monumental love for his spectacularly messed-up protagonists. These characters become deranged because they have to create their own belief system. There's no God except for the ones that Yôko, Aya Koike (Sakura Andô), and Yû Honda (Takahiro Nishijima) make for themselves. God is represented by mundane authority figures, people who simultaneously project their own fear of loving someone else and lustful need to be loved. In other words, father/Father figures are all rotten to the core in Love Exposure, though they're all rotten in unique ways."
It's an "overstuffed J-pop soap opera," writes Time Out New York's David Fear, "which at its best works as a tribute to emotionally damaged misfits, and at its worst feels like a metabolic mash-up of hentai detritus. Anyone who's followed the director's career since the eerie-satirical Suicide Club (2001) has seen him tackle these subjects before with wildly varying degrees of success, and Love Exposure plays like a marathon greatest-hits-and-misses mixtape. If you see only one Sono film, check out this flick; you will have then seen them all."
"Love Exposure seems hell-bent on being difficult," finds Pedro Fernández at Ioncinema, whereas, for IFC's Matt Singer, it's "wonderfully eclectic cinema." For Gabe Toro at the Playlist, it "seems more concerned with torturing our characters than it is with allowing their exposure. But what exhilarating torture it is."
Earlier: In 2009, Joe Bowman and Andrew Grant discussed Love Exposure and Nick Palevsky outlined what it is he likes about it.

The Arts Commission is pleased to announce that the 2012 Young Artists At Work (YAAW) Program is currently underway. Our organization is very thankful to hold our program in the University of Toledo's Center for Visual Arts facility, located in the Frank Gehry Building attached to the Toledo Museum of Art, again for a third year. Names and schools of this year's YAAW apprentices are included at the end of the release.
Since 1994, ACGT has presented the award winning Young Artists at Work (YAAW) program. This six-week summer employment opportunity enables diverse and at-risk youth to benefit from an intense exposure to the arts. Student apprentices between the ages of 14 and 18 were selected in a competitive process for 6 weeks of summer employment as working artists. The objective of YAAW is to provide an intensive arts experience that fosters artistic self-expression and a quality work ethic that can impact the youth throughout adulthood. The program encourages expression, refinement, cross-cultural sharing, and the exchange of ideas. The opportunity provides exposure to the concept of art as a business, as well as the creation of public art for the greater Toledo community.
The apprentices in this year's program include 42 students representing more than 21 area high schools, including private, parochial, charter, and public schools. The 2012 YAAW apprentices will work on a number of projects this summer under the mentorship of talented local artists and art educators.
The public is also invited to join us for the YAAW Open House on Wednesday, August 1, 5-7pm at the YAAW Worksite (UT's Center for the Visual Arts, 620 Grove Place) to celebrate the creative accomplishments of the apprentices with brief remarks, artwork for sale and light refreshments.
Among the larger and more community-oriented projects completed by the apprentices this summer is a mural for the amphitheatre in Ottawa Park, commissioned by the advisory board of Ottawa and Jerome Parks. The mural will be installed behind the stage of the amphitheatre in the section of Ottawa Park behind The Toledo Hospital. Entrance to the section of the park that houses the amphitheatre is off of Kenwood where it meets N. Cove. The YAAW apprentices have designed the mural to incorporate the theme of Mother Nature and ART, as requested my members of the Ottawa Park Board.
Megan Schmidt, Instructor, is leading the YAAW apprentices on the Ottawa Park Amphitheatre Mural. Her favorite part of facilitating the mural thus far has been "Seeing everyone's ideas. We're bringing in unique aspects of Toledo.
YAAW Apprentice Kelly Barfield, assisted with the final sketch of the Ottawa Park mural. Her favorite part of the project has been "being able to incorporate everyone's idea rather than using one idea".
YAAW Apprentice Justyn Wilkes, is excited to begin painting the mural. As part of the team that sanded and primed the mural panels, he is ready to see the color. When asked what his personal goal for the mural was Justyn responded with, "I want it to be recognized by the community. They will look at it and say 'Wow they did a really good job!'"
The press is invited to tour the 2012 YAAW site during the last remaining week of the program. The last date the program will be open for visits is Thursday, August 2, 2012. To schedule an interview or tour, please contact Michelle Carlson at 419-254-ARTS (2787) or via email, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
This year's apprentices are:
Nick Adams-Arman (Ottawa Hills High School), Kelly Barfield (Ottawa Hills High School), Kyle Burton (Woodward High School), Myles Burton (Horizon Science Academy), Jacob Byers (Waite High School), Andrew Coutts (Sylvania Southview High School), Marina Craton (ECOT), Ara Eckman (Waite High School), Krystel Griffith (Waite High School), Bianca Iannarino (Start High School), Shane Jackson (Eagle Academy), Dan Jones (Woodward High School), Tianna Jones (Owens Community College), Mary Jorgenson (Notre Dame Academy), Scotty Joshua (Rogers High School), Treva Mathis (Phoenix Academy), Patricia Mayes (Woodward High School), Mackenzie Michalak (Whitmer High School), Jordan Moon (Waite High School), Adriana Nortiz (Sylvania Southview High School), Shawnta Pearson (Whitmer High School), Andrew Piercefield (Toledo School for the Arts), Allison Rearick (Bowsher High School), Ian Richardson (Toledo School for the Arts), Khalia Riley (GED), Chelsea Roberts (Whitmer High School), Alma Sandoval Hernandez (Waite High School), Christopher Sheehan (St. Francis de Sales High School), Reegan Street (Sylvania Northview High School), Maranda Stricklen (Phoenix Academy), Kyle Tansel (Owens Community College), Devon Toska (Summit Academy), Adrian Traynum II (St. Francis de Sales High School), Anastasia Wagner (Sylvania Northview High School), Ryan Wiggins (Whitmer High School), Justyn Wilkes (Sylvania Northview High School), Ettel Williams (Waite High School), Mykal Williams (Summit Academy), Ray'chel Wilson (Notre Dame Academy), Hannah Yeager (Toledo Christian High School), Paul Young (Summit Academy), Tamara Young (Toledo School for the Arts)

England U21s rescued by Wellbeck late show
A late goal by Danny Welbeck ensured England are still in with a shout with qualifying from the group stages of the U21 European Championship. The match saw Stuart Pearce's side largely outplayed by Spain, and with a highly-rated Czech side still to play, qualification is certainly no done deal.
While physically a lot smaller than the England side, Spain's technical superiority was at times all too apparent. But while being largely outplayed, England will feel they got no less than they deserved, after Spain's goal appeared to be punched home from close range by midfielder Ander Herrera.
In the build-up to the game, it was suggested that England would threaten at set-pieces, but it was a corner by Mata that led to the Spanish goal, Javi Martinez heading on for Herrara to apply the finishing touch at the back post.
England were solid defensively, with Pearce claiming: 'If we had the amount of possession they did, the score would have been 4-0 or 5-0 to us.'
A lapse of concentration in the Spanish defence then saw a surge by Walker down the right. He squared it to Welbeck, who swivelled before depositing the ball into the bottom corner from six yards out. Pearce remains convinced that his team has a lot to offer in the tournament. 'We need a touch of the Spanish arrogance to truly express the talent that we have,' he said. 'But we will get better as the tournament progress.'

There is air conditioning throughout the home, and comfortable living spaces to entertain or unwind together as a group. The gourmet kitchen was custom designed and comes with everything you'll need to cook a fresh meal from home using local ingredients. There are three large bedrooms, each with luxurious 1,000-count linens and cedar closet space designed and furnished by a local island cabinet maker.
All about that patio life
Outdoors, the property has a beautiful pool area that's framed with tropical gardens, careful landscaping, and beautiful lighting and tiling. Soak in the pool, read a book while lounging in the sun, take a siesta in the shade and grill a meal — all from your private patio.

South End Cancun Bay side
Punta Sur is a truly magical place on Isla Mujeres. As the Eastern-most tip of both the
island and Mexico, its jagged, rocky point welcomes the country's first rays of morning
light each day. This area is considered a bit more serene and in-tune with nature than
some of the other island neighborhoods, but is still close to several restaurants, the mid-
island grocery store, and some of the most breathtaking views you'll find anywhere.
Things are a little quieter in this corner of paradise; the sound of waves crashing against
the rocky cliffs is therapeutic and the lush jungle landscape nearby will make you feel
truly "away." Enjoy the sculpture park on the furthest tip, catch iguanas bathing in the
hot sun, and keep an eye out for dolphins playing off the coast. If you're in the mood for
some activity, rent a bike or a golf cart and hop on the island's outer ring road — in no
time, you'll be immersed in the hustle and bustle of La Gloria and El Centro, or on the
island's pristine white sand beaches, Playa Norte.
Concierge service included
As with every property listed with Isla Mujeres Vacation Rentals, this rental comes with personalized, friendly concierge service from one of our local staff. This complimentary service takes all the stress out of your travels. We can arrange your transportation to the property from the airport, meet you upon arrival, help you get settled and, if you're interested, introduce you to the island we love. We are experienced (often born-and-
raised) locals who have island-wide connections and who are passionate about helping others fall in love with Isla's charm, beauty, and warmth through flawless vacations. We
can help you plan outings, arrange to rent a golf cart or make dinner recommendations. Looking for a higher level of luxury and care? For an additional price, we can even pre-stock your fridge with your favorites before your arrival, welcome you with fresh guacamole and margaritas, and have private outings reserved for you and your guests.

Fashion trends change just as fast as the weather. Knowing what to wear and how to wear it is essential, especially if you're looking to dress for success, and to impress. Knowing not to wear white after Labor Day is one thing (depending on how much of a fashionista you really are), but it's just as important to know what's hot, and what's not. Los Angeles stylist and fashion expert, Quentin Leonard, spills the tea on what's in, what's out, and tips to avoid embarrassing fashion faux pas.
Boot cut and flare jeans are out: Leave the hourglass shape to our lady friends. Fitted straight leg jeans and slacks are what's in. Don't rely solely on skinny jeans. These are only flattering on some guys. Your best bet is to get what pants you have tailored to fit your body. A good tailoring can make or break how a guy looks.
Elastic waistbands: Like the skinny jean, elastic waistbands only look good on Zach Efron, skinny twinks, and built guys with great abs. Even with board shorts. A drawstring waistband is a sexy touch that draws attention to your groin area. Straight button waistbands that fit you comfortably around the waist are best.
Slip on sandals: Unless you're going hiking in Portland, leave the Birkenstocks and slip on Adidas slippers for professional boxers and Marin County moms. And dear god – leave your socks off it you're going to grace us with your presents in such atrocious footwear. Ladies can get away with a lot more than men; leave the slip sandals for them. Try, instead, a basic roman sandal or plain Jane flip flop.
Bent/rounded baseball caps: You're no longer in the Midwest, sweetie. That trucker hat, bent-brim farmer look is good for the blond haired, blue eyed 6'3″ boy next door from 2008. This is 2017 and the flat brim is back. The skater/gangster look is in, whether it's a throw-back to the 90s or just shaking it up a bit. Keep your hat the way you bought it, with a flat front. Hats are cute and totally in style, if you know how to wear it. Advice: don't bend the brim, bro.
Khakis and polos: These shouldn't even have to be mentioned. Unless you are a Best Buy or CarMax employee, you should never even combine these two anymore. Ever. Why companies reverted to this look in the 80s is unknown, but this hasn't been a cute look for well over a decade. If you have to don this attire, untuck the shirt, put on a blazer, or throw in a snazzy belt, which are all in style. Other than that, life shouldn't have to look like a GAP commercial.
Bare midriffs: Now to be frank, I love a good bare midriff. The nod to the 80s on a hot muscle guy with a washboard stomach is an uber gay choice of a bygone era where fashion was outrageous. But by god, you betta have one hellova good body to rock a cut off t-shirt. And it betta be a cute as shit bare midriff. Then, and only then, is this a forgivable fashion choice. So, it betta look fierce, darling, or else leave the 80s where they belong: in the past.
The biggest fashion faux you can make is being self-conscious about the fashion choices you make, what you wear, and who you are. Fears and self-doubt are only our own and in our heads. Nowhere else. We are individuals and each of us have our own unique beauty. Once we embrace and truly love ourselves, we glow. No matter what we wear, we look great when we glow. So, don't be self-conscious. Be bold. Be you.

So you've made the decision to go to grad school. You've weighed your options, researched the benefits of a graduate education, and discovered the value of having an advanced degree. Now it's time to choose which program to pursue—a task that can seem overwhelming given the number of options available.
But the process doesn't have to be so daunting. There are actions you can take to make choosing a graduate degree program more manageable—and even exciting. As you take the next step toward your personal and professional goals, take note of the following tips to help you choose a graduate degree program that is right for you.
How to Find the Right Graduate Degree Program for You
1. Take Inventory of Your Passions and Motivations
Pursuing a graduate education is a big investment, so it's critical to understand the unique "why" behind your decision. What do you hope to achieve by going back to school? Whether you'd like to gain more specialized knowledge, change careers, earn a promotion, increase your salary potential, or achieve a lifelong personal goal, make sure the program you choose will help get you there.
Examine the curricula and course descriptions of various degree programs, and assess how each offering aligns with your passions and interests. Graduate school is challenging, but will feel more manageable if you're working toward something that matters to you. Understanding your expectations and what you want to get out of the program is the first step in choosing a degree that will be a good fit.
2. Explore Your Options and Do Your Homework
Once you've determined your motivations for returning to school, leave yourself time to research the types of degree programs available in your preferred area of study and the opportunities each can create.
Resources like the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Outlook Handbook can give you a sense of typical career paths by industry, along with the educational degree requirements for each. The handbook also provides market growth forecasts and earning potential to help inform your decision.
It's also important to note the structure and focus of each program. Even in the same discipline, a program's focus can vary among institutions. Does the curriculum emphasize theory, original research, or a more practical application of knowledge? Whatever your goals may be, make sure the focus of the program aligns with the educational experience that will provide you the most value. Career changers, for example, who likely don't have industry experience, might prefer a program with access to hands-on learning opportunities.
While conducting your research, don't be afraid to utilize your professional network. Speak with colleagues who have pursued an advanced degree in your industry and reach out to alumni of the institutions you're considering. Listening to their experiences as a graduate student and in the job market post-degree can help you gauge if the program is in line with your goals.
You can also speak with graduate admissions advisors to help you narrow your options. They have experience guiding students to make this type of decision, and can provide you with the outcomes of past students whose goals were similar to yours. In speaking with the institution's alumni and mentor network, you also have the opportunity to assess the type of connections you can make there, and how they may help you get ahead even after graduation.
3. Consider Your Career Goals
After exploring your range of program options, consider your career goals and how each specific graduate program can help you get there.
If you're seeking a specialized area of focus, it's important to examine the program concentrations offered at each institution. One graduate program in education might prepare you to specialize in higher education administration or elementary instruction, while other institutions may offer concentrations in special education or classroom technology. Make sure the program you choose reflects your career interests.
Alternatively, if you're unsure of exactly where your career path may take you, you may want to consider a broader degree that can give you flexibility in its application. Some degree programs, such as a Master of Business Administration, teach skills that can be applied across multiple professions. If this is the path you'd prefer to pursue, pick a degree that will remain relevant as you move around in your career.
Examine the types of credentials professionals in the industry possess, and research the types of skills potential employers are looking for. Check to see that the degree program offers opportunities to learn and develop those same skills. You'll want to make sure the program you're investing your time in will arm you with knowledge you can actually apply in the real world.
Location is also an important factor to consider when thinking about potential employment opportunities after graduation. Individuals interested in financial services may consider schools in a major banking center, such as Charlotte, while those pursuing a technology career might focus on Silicon Valley.
4. Make Sure the Program Fits Your Lifestyle
While aligning your career goals, make sure the degree program you choose will realistically fit within your lifestyle, and determine what level of flexibility you need. There are many options available that will allow you to earn an advanced degree at the right pace and in the right format for you.
Some degrees can be earned in as little as 12 months, while others can take years. Determine how much time you're willing to invest, considering your personal values, work and family commitments, and the type of graduate experience you'd like to have.
Full-time graduate studies are not for everyone. If you're a working professional, you may benefit from the increased flexibility provided by a part-time degree program. You might also consider the benefits of online graduate programs that provide access to worldwide institutions that may have otherwise not been an option.
5. Remember that Graduate School Is a Stepping Stone
When deciding which program to pursue, it's important to remember that graduate school is a stepping-stone toward your personal and professional goals—not the final destination. That said, the clearer you are on what you want to do following graduation, the easier it will be to find a program that aligns with your goals.
Start early, stay organized, and reach out for support. In the end, only you can decide which program will be best for you. No matter what program you choose to pursue, with commitment, resilience, and hard work, you can find success.

Trading a volatile stock is never easy. It involves patience, and at the same time you need to be nimble and ready to move at any given moment.
Tesla (TSLA) is a perfect example of this. It is often moved by headlines as analysts and commentators obsess over the company and its CEO, Elon Musk. There is a true love-hate relationship here.
This past week I was at an investment conference, and TSLA was one of the more commonly-mentioned stocks. The bears are calling for it to fall by 50% due to slow auto sales and high costs. On the other hand, the bulls look for it to become one of the largest companies in the world thanks to increasing demand for battery storage.
I tend to find myself more in the bullish camp, as most analysts focus on electric vehicles rather than the changing energy sector, which is being led by TSLA's battery storage.
Tesla's chart has been interesting recently, and it's helped investors time great entry points over the last couple of months. Let's take a look at what I'm talking about:
I've circled the area to buy above, which is right around price support at $340 (the black line). The last couple of times the stock fell to that level it bounced soon after. And also around the same time, the relative strength index (RSI, at the bottom of the chart) has given a bullish crossover buy signal. The last time this occurred was on Monday, when TSLA held support and the RSI crossed above 30 and out of oversold territory.
But what makes this stock so volatile is the fact that the shorts love to play it. If TSLA can run back up to $390, the shorts will likely be all over it. However, I'm not so sure they'll succeed in pushing it back down this time given historical trends that indicate that stocks tend to run up to big round numbers once they get close.
If the current rally continues, I see the shares moving above their previous high and up to $400. That represents a good amount of upside, so use pullbacks to support and RSI crossovers as the most reliable buy signals.

Twitter can certainly give great benefit when well used, even to companies. It is as real-time as you can get. Rather than waiting for press releases or carefully worded cut-&-paste emails, Twitter makes responding necessarily quick. It's also quite cool to have a company rep contact you directly!
I just posted about a recent study of Twitter, and why it's not really 40% pointless babble. http://enterprise.anotherbyte.net/2009/08/when-pointless-babble-isnt/
Seems you've used the same title as me for my blog post:
In my post I also talk about my likes and dislikes of Twitter and its value for businesses.

Dr. Frankenstein begs to be let out of the room, resorting to both cursing and calling for his mommy. It appears the monster is scaring the skubala out the good doctor. This is a biblical phrase according to pastor Jody Stancil. As much as he begs, it is evident that none of his compatriots are going to break their promise to not open the door. Turing to face the creature, who has broken free from his bonds, the young Dr. Frankenstein first mutters something under his breath and then goes for the only play he has — flattery.
Joining us for the first time as our guest on the Wilder Ride is Jody Stancil, pastor at Riverside Community Church, who is a huge fan of the work of Gene Wilder.
You can reach out to us anytime by going to our social media outlets or by using the contact form on our website. We are on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. We hope you are enjoying being on this Wilder Ride!

Shades of Love starts with first education camps
The two optometrists Konstantin Hahne and Eik Bruns, who are currently completing an additional training in Berlin at the University of Optometry, have set out for Ladakh for two and a half months at their own expense.
They are now working with our Tibetan Primary Health Care Center partner on one of our key projects: in mid-October, they held our first SHADES OF LOVE FREE EYE EDUCATION CAMP in Sumo, a small village in the remote Changtang region of Ladakh.
With charts and simple illustrations, the two, together with representatives of the Tibetan Health Care Center, are clarifying the effects of sunlight. What are UV rays? What consequences does it have if you do not protect yourself? Up to information about the cleaning and care of glasses.
Konstantin and Eik are still on the road until mid-December. The project will be continued by our partners in the future – the goal is to achieve a systematic coverage with medical teams in the field of education and distribution of our Shades Of Love sunglasses.

Today marks a special anniversary: Some ten or so years ago I met one of my most influential and inspiring friends–and though we may live thousands of miles apart, my heart is closer to hers than to most people I know. It seems like we've been through it all together, the highs, the lows–the times we've loved each other, the times we've hated each other, the many times in between. Of all the people I know, she is the strongest, most persevering, most courageous–and her friendship means the world to me.
Mostly related by email, our time together is full of thoughtful conversations and intense reflections–analyses of the goings-on of life, in-depth discussions on topics as numerous as the stars. The birth of our friendship was the birth of a new soul, enjoined to the physical world not by blood or bone, but by the wires and Internet waves that have tied us together for so many impossibly wondrous years.
Today marks the birth of a new relationship–a reflexive relation I hope will provide as much for this blog as her friendship has provided me.
Part of my vision for The Writingwolf is to build a more interactive and community-oriented blog. I'm not going to stop writing the way I've been writing, but I want to complement this content with conversations that overflow from my posts and truly engage my readers. I want to learn more about you, build relationships, make this place a gathering of minds–not merely a reception room for readers.
My first step to achieve this is the introduction of monthly reviews. I got the suggestion from The Daily Post a while back and it stuck with me, so I'm giving it a try–with a twist.
Instead of just looking back at a month of material, I want to start a conversation–I want to hear which posts you enjoyed most, which posts maybe you didn't enjoy at all, and which posts you wish I'd written, but hadn't. I want to hear about you–what brought you here, what made you stay. Join the conversation.
It's fitting this post comes today because it was only a month ago when I relaunched the Writingwolf–completely revamping the design and sharing a glimpse of my new goals in my inaugural post Howling On. The celebration continued with Rain and Independence, a post inspired by a rainy summer and the dawning of the Fourth of July.
I also returned to a few childhood pastimes in Mourning Monsters and Man vs Nature. It was a delight to indulge myself in these little guilty pleasures; it was terrific when I discovered how relevant they could still be today.
This month I reprised my reading of the third book of the Pirkei Avot, an endeavor I began last summer but never finished. Together we transcended debt while discussing the imminent arrival of death at our doors and then we discovered an unexpected link between Science and Faith.
When the third teaching rolled around, I was rolling forward on a train to D.C. to attend the RESULTS International Conference–an experience I shall certainly share more about as time goes on. No matter, my ride to Washington inspired Like Trees in the Wind, a look at the relationship between wisdom and community. Finally, the third book came to a close with a reminder about why we study the Law at all.
I took a moment to reevaluate and plan my monthly goals as the summer drew to an end, and then I celebrated the birth of Prince George Alexander Louis by proudly proclaiming that Nobody Puts Royal Baby in the Corner.
Words & Wonders wasn't my only blog to get attention–over at Silent Soliloquy, my new blog devoted exclusively to fiction and poetry, I went wild with a return to lyricism.
After a long lull in poetry, I gave you three–a humorous recollection of my creative writing class in Of Simians and Canines, a tribute to the Jewish day of mourning Tisha B'av in Lamentations and Longing, and a stirring tour of D.C.'s war memorials in Entrenched.
My family also took a short trip to the Fort Fisher Acquarium this month, where I got to see jellyfish and sharks and learned about Rose O'Neal Greenhow, a Confederate spy aboard the grounded Condor. Her story intrigued me–so I did a little research and experimented with historical fiction in a new story called Rose Gold.
I had a great time blogging this month, and there's so much more on my mind that I'm eager to share–so be sure to keep checking back as this adventure continues.
MUST-READ of the MONTH:
If you only read one thing, this should be it.
- Nobody Puts Royal Baby in the Corner
- TAGS: Children, Health, Poverty
How soon? Can't say–but it's all on the way!
- Tales from Belize and Washington, D.C.
- New adventures on campus
- Reflections on love, fear, and God
- "Prosaic" and other poems
- New fantasy stories–maybe even a romance!
Let's get the conversation started!
You can say anything, but here's a nice place to start.
- What was your most/least favorite content this month?
- What can I do to make The Writingwolf better?
- How did you discover Words & Wonders or Silent Soliloquy?
