This week I made jam tarts and ate homecooked dinners by candlelight and drew silly drawings for my project. I took dorky photographs in my enormous new mustard jumper. My flatmate bought me my first mint hot chocolate from Starbucks and I got to spend time with my best, most darling friend. I also went to the cinema and ate nice food and finished my comic and worked and chatted to talented people.
(This post is a day late due to my exhaustion after I finished up something last night! Haha)
Happy Weekend everyone! I'm looking forward to spending the rest of the evening in a sitting position.

I already had many new things to try, for this reason I decided to stick to the same basic recipe I've been using before (beeswax, shea butter, avocado oil and sweet almond oil).
I bought lip safe micas, fragrance oils, white chapstick tubes and shrink wraps for the tubes.
I've matched Hot Chocolate Mica Powder with Chocolate orange Truffles Flavor Oil, and Sangria Mica with Strawberry Flavor Oil (for materials please see my FB page).
I've also prepared couple of plain ones (no mica, no fragrance).
Being the first time that I used micas I didn't want to exaggerate and I ended up with pretty mild colours. Also the presence of avocado oil (which is greenish) affected the final result, but I liked it anyway.
I printed out labels and eventually sealed the lip balms with my wonderful shrink wraps (for a quick video on the wraps see my FB page)!!!

It seems like people I talk to either love eggplant or hate it. I think people's distaste of eggplant comes from its bitter flavor. I find the Japanese and Chinese variety tend to be less bitter than purple eggplant. I also love the graffiti eggplant because they are so pretty and it makes me feel like a rebel when graffiti shows up on my grocery receipt. To avoid bitter traditional purple eggplant I always try to buy the smaller ones, not a guarantee, but it seems to work for me. Also I slice them, salt them, and drain them on paper towels.
I definitely fall into the love category so I cannot say my opinion of this salad is unbiased, but I think it is delicious and very easy to make. If your nervous this is good recipe to try. At least if you are still not fond of it, you didn't slave away for hours in your kitchen.
Eggplant and White Balsamic Salad
serves 4 as a side
2 Japanese eggplants, sliced 1/4″ thick
extra virgin olive oil
sea salt
1 Tbsp. white Balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh mint
salad greens
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Slice your eggplant crosswise. You want it fairly thin, but not so thin it falls apart. Maybe 1/4″ thick slices.
Drizzle both sides of your eggplant with olive oil. You want to make sure the eggplant does not stick to the pan (I brushed some olive oil on the baking sheet as well, just to be on the safe side). Also give the eggplant and little sprinkle of sea salt and pepper.
Once the oven is hot bake the eggplant for 10-12 minutes. I rotated the pan and flipped the eggplant half way through so it would cook and brown more evenly. Once it is brown remove from the oven and transfer to plate or cutting board to cool.
Once cool toss with the white balsamic and mint. I let the eggplant sit like this for about 10 minutes before I toss it with the greens. I didn't specify how many greens you should add because it kinda depends on what you are trying to achieve. I add less greens if I want it as a side and more greens, maybe even some tomatoes, if I want it as a salad. Toss and Enjoy!

Sarah Coultier sent me some nice interview questions, and I'm posting it here as she suggested.
Hi, Sarah -- I'm typing this with the 'flu, so you might want to proof it.
My answers are marked with "D" (Hers are marked "S").
Donna Barr
S: Hey - I'm a student at Pacific Northwest College of Art and I'm supposed to interview three artists in the field that I want to go into. I actually have some things that I really want to know about how all five of you work, so - I know you're quite busy, but if any of you have time for a few questions, could you please answer mine? Even one would be awesome. If you want to post the answers to your blogs, I follow most of you in one form or another. And several of you have already covered some of these, so don't feel obliged to answer what you've already talked about.
D: Thanks for contacting me. I'll do my best.
S: Work ethic: from things you've mentioned on the internet, I know that all of you have continued to draw and update through depression, migraines, other jobs, and dealing with family. How do you manage it?Does the story have such a strong hold on you? Do you have an unusually strong sense of duty? A particular routine, or a system for getting things done that I'm not seeing?
D: The short answer: we're women.
The other short answer: YES, to all of the above. I know I'm imprisoned by my Muses, and I'm German (the "duty" thang). The rule is: when not doing anything else, draw and write! Or even better, try to get the other stuff done when not drawing or writing.
My other trick: DRAW AHEAD. Do masses of stuff, and post a month's worth. So you CAN be sick or wrapped up in emergencies if you need to. Bless the internet for chugging along while we're doing other stuff. It's the way I've set up everything: WWWID (Will work when I'm dead).
S: Publicizing: what works for you guys? Who do you talk to? Where? Online or physical? Ads? Twitter? As far as I can tell, success is a combination of luck and just really being interested in your material - but some people do seem to make a success of advertising... and of course an audience needs to know you exist. How much is too much, for you? What's your experience with getting someone else to advertise for you? When did you decide there was enough demand to try to get your stories printed - or, for those who started before the grand era of webcomics and gauging an audience by online fan response, at what point did you decide to print, and where did you try to distribute it? Where do you wish you'd tried to distribute it, now?
D: EVERYTHING. Facebook, Lulu, Twitter, Createspace, Project Wonderful, CCNow and Blogger. You got those, you just do your hour of marketing and contacts every day. It's the online comiccon! You, too, can look at PayPal once in a while (and then regularly) and go, "Oh! Where did that extra hundred dollars come from?"
You print when you have enough pages: Ka-Blam.com (or other comics site) for comics page numbers. Lulu and Amazon for collections. Lulu and Ka-Blam for wholesale to your customers (fan and store). Amazon for cheapest discount to you for shows. Lulu for automatic ebooks.
The paper days? It was Diamond and nothing else. You can still do that, or flog it at book publishers. That world is still in the 18th century, when it started, all the rules still hold. What worked for Dickens will work for you -- but these days it will be pixels, not paper.
And we don't write cuz we're trying to get an audience. We write because demons have us by the back of the neck and are pushing our faces into the paper/screen.
S: Publicizing 2: Did trying to put yourself and your work out there make you feel like a flimsy facade with something ill and rotten behind it at first? If so, how on earth did you get over it, and do you think it has anything to do with how women are socialized to b self-effacing, or more to do with being an introvert, or an artist, or scolded for boasting as a kid...
D: Eh? Does not compute.
My stuff is good, damnit. I write what I can't find out there. Then again, I had a great blessing: I was daddy's little princess, but mom told me I was "enough to gag a maggot on a gut wagon." This taught me that NOBODY'S JUDGEMENT MATTERED BUT MY OWN. Get over yourself. And throw your relatives out of your studio. And your in-laws.
Oh, and I hit myself in the head with an ax when I was seven and immediately became obsessive, fixated and self-absorbed. Artist material! :P
(Fun with creaties; ask them when THEY had their head-trauma!)
S: Collaborators: Who's your favorite editor/collaborator/friend to take somewhere and babble at? What do they do that's special?
D: These days it's my fans on my websites. We have lots of fun giggling like girls over the antics of my characters (I'm not in control of any of this; I'm just management).
S: Collaborators 2: Do you have lots of artist and comic friends? Do you find you work best with engineers and scientists, or writers, or editors, or some other group of interests and traits instead? Do you emember how you collected most of them?"
D: My Facebook page is loaded with artists and writers and other creaties from all over the world. Editors and agents, too. I remember NOTHING about anything; the ax scrambled my memory, too; I have a hard time telling reality from dreams from imagination from tv commercials.
I love engineers; one of them is my BESTEST patron. They are so funny, tongue-in-cheek and self-aware (and they know art is worth money). The Desert Peach is an engineer. It's why my favorite Error Status is "418 I'm a Teapot."
Scientists think my 1st rule of writing is hilarious: "If it's funny, it's right."
The other 2 are: "If it's physically possible for its time and place, it happened." And "If it didn't happen, it should have."
Or the short form: "Some idiot has already tried this."
(My rules of writing also apply to historical research).
S: Thank you very much if you have time to answer any of these. Any time would be fine, and you can pick any one question to answer if you want. I think I was supposed to ask how you got where you are in your careers, but this is the stuff I'm actually interested in. I apologize for how awkward this is. If and when you're ever in Portland, I'd love to meet you and say hi, and I'm just as awkward in person.
D: Awkward? NO! So nice and polite and well-thought-out! You should extend your teacher(s) my compliments.

How Has Technology Affected Senior Citizens?
Over the last 30 years, China's technology has developed rapidly, making life more and more convenient to many of its citizens. Mobile phones have helped to connect people all over China and computers have helped people to organize their work and share information easily. Owing to the length of time that they have spent on this Earth, senior citizens in China will have experienced two very different worlds, having seen first hand the way in which technology has advanced throughout their lifetime. How have senior citizens been affected by this rapid advancement in technology? The following essay will set out to answer this question.
A person's circumstances change in many different ways as they become older and senior citizen's needs will therefore be very different to middle aged and even younger members of society. Most obviously, an elderly person's body will begin to become weaker, and their eyes ears, muscles and joints will not function as effectively as they did before. Technology has been able to assist the elderly in many of these aspects, providing glasses, hearing aids, walking aids and wheelchairs, respectively. In addition to this, medicines are becoming more and more advanced and are allowing the elderly to live longer than before. In 2010 the World Health Organization (WHO) released statistics showing that the average life expectancy in 1960 was 36, compared with 74.5 in 2010.
Not only does a person's physical situation change as they age, but also their social situation. In their middle age, most people will get married and have at least one child to devote their time to. Where children used to continue caring for their parents in their own home before, the influence of the West means that many children now prefer not to live with their parents after marrying. This, combined with the death of a spouse, can make a senior citizen's life very lonely. Although far from compensating, technology has helped senior citizens keep in touch with their loved ones via the telephone, and more recently, skype. While not talking to their family, television and radio also provide sources of entertainment to help keep their mind occupied and stave off feelings of loneliness
However, where technology provides with one hand, it takes away with the other. Although the telephone may help to keep families connected, the quality of this connection is certainly not as rich as a personal visit. The reality is that far from enriching a senior citizen's contact with family, the telephone does nothing but substitute a good old-fashioned weekly family gathering with a weekly phone call. In the same way, Cybercollege.com states that the average home has the TV on more than 51 hours per week, which is even more impressive when taking out time for work, school and sleep. Statistics such as these show how technology has displaced a massive part of our social life. It then becomes apparent that the time that children and grandchildren could have spent visiting parents and grandparents, are more than likely spent in front of the TV instead.
It must be appreciated that in spite of all the technology that surrounds us today, senior citizens only use a small proportion of it. Either they are too complicated for the elderly to learn, or the elderly simply choose to use more traditional methods to deal with their day to day business. At best, this simply makes the technology redundant from a senior citizen's point of view, for they were able to cope perfectly well without it in the past. However, where technology has given us more options in most cases, there are a few cases where newer technology has actually displaced previous technology. Take for example the music industry. Over the last fifty years, music media has gone from records, to tapes, to compact discs to the MP3 players and IPods that we use today. Few senior citizens have the computer...

I hinted about a grown up version of the Modkid Malibu in my last post. Well, now I'd like to formally introduce you to the Malibu Misses that will be available as part of the Women's Bundle Up sale May 1st to May 8th.
First let's talk options. The pattern features either a short or maxi skirt. If you opt for the maxi length, there are instructions for a single or double side slit(s). Patty went into detail to offer length guidelines for petite, average, and tall heights, but there are also instructions for creating the skirt tailored to your own measurements.
Now, I absolutely love the cross-back, but there is also a full back option to give you a basic tank style dress. In case you are wondering, the back has enough coverage to conceal a racer-back bra. Thank you for that attention to detail!!
I threw on a skinny belt for this last photo just to see how I'd like it. I think this would be such a great look for a full back maxi!!
There are lots of great patterns rolling out with the bundle, so I suggest you go check them out and enter to win the bundle before you can buy it!! Starting May 1st the bundle will be available for sale here.
Finally, we announced a sew-along for the girl's version of the Malibu on the Modkid blog yesterday. If you like Mommy and Me sets, this is a great way to get started!

[Moderator's note:]
>The general problem is NP-complete
For such a general definition of the problem that it does not occur
with relative branches, and typically only rarely elsewhere in
linking: IIRC you need to allow subtractions between arbitrary
addresses in the code, and want to optimize the size needed for the
resulting numbers in order to construct an NP-complete problem.
If you only want to optimize relative branch sizes, this problem is
polynomial: Just start with everything small, then make everything
larger that does not fit, and reiterate until everything fits.
Because in this case no size can get smaller by making another size
larger, you have at worst as many steps as you have branches, and the
cost of each step is at most proportional to the program size.
This approach is also a good heuristic for the NP-complete problem,
and will usually produce the optimal result in the cases occuring in
This is a very nice example of a harmful NP-completeness result:
People just remember that "size optimization is NP-complete" or worse
"linking is NP-complete", without remembering the exact problem for
which the NP-completeness was proven. And even for the NP-complete
problem, a polynomial algorithm usually produces the optimal result
for problems occuring in practice; and I guess that an optimal
algorithm would run in acceptable time on practical cases (but is
probably not worth implementing).
However, mentioning the NP-completeness often stops people from
attacking the problem in the detail they would otherwise apply, and
that's the harm that the NP-completeness result does.

M. Anton Ertl
[To get the genreral NP complete subtraction problem I'd think you
could add branch chaining, e.g., if you have A->C and B->C, you can
change that to A->B and B->C. -John]

Radium CNC Billet Fuel Surge Tank
These surge tanks are designed as a complete and neat solution for cars that want something that looks a bit more refined than the usual fabricated aluminium surge tanks.
Mountable where ever you like, preferably stood upright but with a bit of flexibility in that the pickup is to one side, so you can mount it horizontally if you really want to.
-6 fittings on the top for feed and return from the main fuel tank, and with a built in regulator and return system, meaning you only need one fuel line upto the rail and a signal line to the regulator. Pump mounts inside of it and there is a robust military spec screw on connector on the top for feeding large pumps.
Overall a very neat solution to reduce the chances of fuel starvation under hard use, a potential engine saver when running a bit of extra boost.

Although this seems to be a fun day to do pranks and hoaxes, some people gets a little over the top to the point of causing harm to their victims. So if you are one of those that likes to play this particular game to your friends and family, make sure that it's all for fun and that you are careful that it's not hurtful as some might be a little sensitive. Hopefully you will remember that it's April 1 and you won't get prank or get fooled. This month will be a busy month for us since we will be having guests in our B&B for about a week. Shortly after they leave I will be busy baking and preparing for my MIL's 80th birthday. This year we will have an afternoon tea party with some of best friends. At the end of the month, our neighborhood is organizing a BBQ. Last year we had something similar, very simple but a great way to meet new and reconnect with neighbors. The main attraction this year is that one of the new neighbor actually plays in a band which means we will have some live music. I plan to bring some sweet treats as the main course is already taken care of by our host. Of course now that April weather is much drier than March, I will be outdoors enjoying a round of golf possibly twice a week. The flowers are blooming and some of our fruit trees have some flowers as well which is a good sign. So enjoy the Springlike weather and take time to smell the flowers.

For my children I decided to research my and consequently their family tree...
For my children I decided to research my and consequently their family tree firstly through my father. Due to a number of circumstances/coincidences I changed my priority to that of the history of my husband's (and their father) family.
His family goes back to Joseph TUZO, transported to Australia on the first fleet. Joseph had 2 daughters with Rebecca GOLSBY, one of which was Johanna GOLSBY TUZO who in turn had a daughter, Jessica Australia BAYLISS who in 1877 married a William COWELL(born in Bathurst in 1855).
My husband's family have always believed the Cowell's came from the Isle of Man so I am looking to find out more about this link
It pleases me to see other members toss that 'Clayton' bottle away and take a peek at the real records to assist others. Searching the records does take longer, but you know where the information came from and it can easily be rechecked by others.
Help others if you can, but only when you know you can. That's my motto.
Hi Fran12
I am currently researching the Bayliss family (inc. Tuzo) and have relatives researching other branches of the family including Cowell. I also have original photos of Priscilla and Joanna Tuzo - if you are interested, I could copy them for you & also perhaps help with information re other members of the family.
Thanks. I think I sent you an email in response. Joseph Tuzo transported on first fleet. Relationship with Rebecca Golsby had Priscilla & Johanna (love a copy of the photos). After Rebecca's death in 1831 they went to live in the Bathurst region with William Golsby, Rebecca's son from her marriage prior to transportation. Priscilla married John Bayliss and Johanna married his brother Benjamin all at Holy Trinity church, Kelso. My husband's connection is through Johanna and her daughter Jessica Australia Bayliss who married William Cowell. Thanks to Janilye above I learned that William is the son of George Cowell who was born in Essex in 1814 and was transported to Australia, ending up in the Bathurst region. I cannot thank you and all who help enough for your generosity
Hello Fran12.
I am new to this website and came across it because of my interest in Priscilla Tuzo married to John Baylis. I am connected to this family tree via Priscilla and John's daughter Rebecca. I notice you may have received some photos of Priscilla and Johanna from Chris49. I would be delighted if you could share the photos with me. I already have quite a lot of information but photos for these generations are in such short supply. Many thanks in advance if you are able to help.

Wazzup Pilipinas!
The Taw'buid is the largest of the eight Mangyan tribes of Mindoro. Once occupying Mindoro's lowlands, they were pushed deep into the mountains by both Spanish colonizers and Filipino immigrants.
Many still sport loincloths called amakan, hunt game with spears called tulag, bows called gadun and spike traps called silo. Unlike other Mangyan who chew betel-nut, nearly all Taw'buid men smoke tobacco – children included.
A collaboration between WWF, Far Eastern University, National Geographic Channel, Primer Group of Companies, Banco de Oro and the Philippine government aims to improve the lives of Mindoro's secretive tribesmen, while conserving the Tamaraw, Earth's rarest buffalo species.
Meet the Taw'buid people through this set shot by Gregg Yan, which is now on exhibit at the FEU campus in Manila.

Our goal as faculty members is to equip our students for professional success and help them integrate their faith and Biblical principles into their practice of business. We believe that our liberal arts approach (where students take half of their courses in business and half in other disciplines) is of great benefit to our students, making them better businessmen and women.

Sadly Agence Bretagne Presse has once more allowed the publication of press releases from the far-right group Jeune Bretagne on its website. For this reason the Breton Connection will no longer be linking to ABP. Jeune Bretagne form part of the Bloc Identitaire a French political party widely classified as being extreme right.
To bad! It seems the lessons of history have not been learned by some Bretons.

Finally I've got to upload some pictures from my ikebana installation at Kunstland. The location is a room in a dark timber barn, and the theme of the installation is inspired by the Japanese star festival, Tanabata. This time I've used plant materials that can be found in Norwegian forests.
Weave of grass and linen thread.
Tin containers on a styrofoam platform.
Tin containers on a styrofoam platform.
Tanabata is celebrated in the summer. The legend tells of a princess who wove beautiful fabrics. Her father, the sky-god, loved the fabrics, and she worked hard every day to weave more. But because she worked so hard, she never got out to meet people. Her father was upset when he saw her so sad, and he introduced her to a shepherd. The two fell in love immediately and married. But suddenly the weaver stoped making fabrics and the shepherd let the animals wander freely. The sky-god became so angry that he put them on either side of a river (the Milky Way) and forbade them to see each other. This made his daughter so sad that he finally gave in and let them see each other one day in the year. This is the day when the Tanabata is celebrated.
Birch branches, Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria),
Yellow Loosestrife (Lysimachia) and Canadian Goldenrod (Solidago).
The Legend of Tanabata can be interpreted as a story about the fear of separateness and isolation, and the hopes and expectations of fellowship. On opposite sides of the Milky Way - the notion of 'real life' and lived life as it is.
In this installation the weave has become a Milky Way that maintains the division, while building a bridge and creating new opportunities.
The distinction between 'real life' and lived life as it is emerges, for example, as the tension between town and country, or the dichotomy between culture and nature. A more recent phenomenon is the dichotomy 'virtual reality' (computer created artificial environment) and 'IRL' (in real life). The World Wide Web (www) and the Milky Way are somewhat overlapping images, they bind together and they isolate.
On rare occasions what has been kept separate meet and unite.

The 4 P's of Marketing & Promotion
As a business owner it is imperative that you understand key factors on how to advertise and brand your products or company. Why? Managing your expenses on sales promotion and advertising is only going to save you money and increase revenue.
Advertising has been defined as "any form of non-personal presentation or promotion of ideas, goods or services, by an identified sponsor." (The American Marketing Association, Chicago). It is very important to understand what advertising is and its purpose. Advertising is targeted messages to large groups or customers. To advertise, you are portraying your services and products to the general public by paying a publisher. There is control on who sees your advertising and this is where you want to take advantage so you are not wasting your dollar.
Here are the 4 P's to marketing that should get you on the right track.
Product: This is what you have to offer. It can be a good or a service. When thinking of products you want to advertise whatever you have that satisfies the most needs. Portray what it looks like or how the customer will use it.
Place: As far as place is concerned, it is the question of where are you distributing your goods and services. You could be using a warehouse and selling online, a store, or a small boutique in a shopping centre. To determine your place think of what your competitors are doing and if it is working for them.
Price: Determining the value of your products and what the return will be. Some industries have established price points. Since business growth and competition is always present, price matching has become one of the most popular. Determining what discounts you can afford to still make a healthy profit.
Promotion: It is beneficial to target your promotional message to your targeted market. You do not want to advertise to children about home buying. Make your promotions stand out by giving good value and creative design. Do not cross the line where the offer is too good to be true and have customers left unpleased.
This strategy can be used for all your advertising ideas. It is a simple way to discover if you are on the right track. All four of the points listed should be easy for you to brainstorm and think through. Advertising and promotions should be one of the most enjoyable parts to running your business. It allows you to be creative and bring your business up.

NO story, fictional or true, more accurately depicts Colorado's early history than this world famous true rags-to-riches and back-to-rags story... it is the very
essence of Colorado's early mining days of hard living. It was a time called the era of top hats and tenderloins, and it was boom or bust. It was Leadville, Colorado.
Elizabeth McCourt, or "Baby Doe" as she is best remembered, married one of the wealthiest men in the country... Horace Tabor, Leadville, Colorado's most prominent "Silver King." In doing so, she became part of one of the nation's most famous love triangles. Horace Tabor, some 25 years her senior, fell in love with Baby Doe almost instantly, and with her by his side, used his millions to build a legacy that fascinates the world to this day.

Horace Tabor
(taken about the time

The flamboyant lifestyle of the Tabor's crumbled after the silver crash of 1893, and Horace quickly found himself going from one of the riches men in the nation to hauling slag from the mines in Leadville at $3/day.
He died broke in 1899 leaving Baby and their two daughters without a penny to their name.
Even after losing virtually everything, Baby Doe fought desperately to regain possession of and restore the production of the Matchless Mine, believing her husband's undying faith that the Matchless would produce again.

GSA's 68th Annual Scientific Meeting brings together more than 4,000 of the brightest minds in the field of aging. This meeting is the premier gathering of gerontologists from both the United States and around the world. They participate in over 400 scientific sessions including symposia, paper, and poster presentations. The 2015 theme is "Aging as a Lifelong Process," which highlights the fact that what gerontologists study is actually the cumulative outcome of lifelong events that culminate during old age. These effects, which can begin at the earliest stage of fetal development, encompass biology, social interactions, historical events, psychological experiences, and public policy. Importantly, the life-course effects on aging are best viewed through the interdisciplinary lens that is the signature feature of GSA.
TechSAge will be highlighted in the Technology Track day on Friday, November 12th.
Presentation: "Re-Conceptualizing the Impact of Aging on Disability: Implications for Technology Interventions" (Elena Gonzalez, Jon Sanford, Wendy Rogers & Tracy Mitzner), in the Technology and Aging (TAG) Interest Group Symposium.
Panel: "Desiging with Older Adults: What do Gerontologists Know That Others Don't?" (Wendy Rogers)

Allegedly, some of these buildings date back to the early days of Chloride and some were moved here from somewhere else. To me, it looks like most were built on this site from old wood.
Allow me to rant for a bit...
Don't get me wrong now, I love history and I certainly love ghost towns. However, I'm not terribly fond of mining camps and/or ghost towns that are created, or allowed to exist primarily for tourists. An example: This little western "cul-de-sac" is not here for historical significance, it's here for theater. During the tourist season, mock gun fights are staged every Saturday at noon. That is so darn cheesy! Most of the folks who are interested in this, don't even see the back streets of the town. Many of the buildings on the actual main street of town, although newer, are much more historical and real, than this "contrived" history side show. The best parts of Chloride are either outside of town, or on the back streets.
The next few don't really have any historical significance, but the scenes really appealed to me and I snapped them.
The next post will be about the part of Chloride that I loved...

What if my school is not listed?
There are two reasons why your school may not be listed:
Can I use my loan for expenses other than tuition?
Yes. You can use your loan to cover education-related expenses included in your cost of attendance as defined by your school, which often includes expenses such as:
Why does a cosigner help?
Applying with a cosigner who has good credit and positive income can help you satisfy credit criteria and may increase your chances of passing the initial credit review. Most students will need a cosigner to qualify. In a cosigned application, both you and your cosigner intend to (a) jointly apply for credit and (b) be jointly liable for the requested loan. Learn more about the Cosigner Advantage here.
What is cost of attendance?
Cost of attendance (COA) is an estimation of tuition and fees, room and board, transportation, and other costs for the period of enrollment covered by the loan, as determined by the school.
Please keep in mind that COA may vary by student due to a number of factors, including:
Where can COA be found?
Check these sources:
What is estimated financial assistance?
Estimated financial assistance includes the total dollar amount of grants, scholarships, work study and federal loans (Stafford, Parent PLUS, Grad PLUS, Perkins, etc) a family receives to fund a student's education for one academic year.
Where can estimated financial assistance be found?
If you have received an award letter from your school, the estimated financial assistance should be included there. If you have difficulty determining your estimated financial assistance, you may want to contact your school's financial aid office.
Yes. You can use your loan to cover education-related expenses included in your cost of attendance as defined by your school, which often includes expenses such as:
How much can I borrow?

Save and complete laterExit the application without saving
What factors are used in the initial credit review?The initial credit review is based on all the information you and your cosigner (if applicable) provide during the application process and the information obtained from your credit report (and any cosigner's credit report). If you pass the initial credit review, documentation will be requested. A signed Credit Agreement, Approval Disclosure acceptance, Notice to Cosigner (if applicable) and Applicant Self-Certification Form is required before a final loan decision is made. Your school will be required to certify a raise^ private student loan prior to disbursement.
Why do you need the Student's Cost of Attendance and Estimated Financial Assistance?Before a final loan decision is made, you will be asked to sign an Applicant Self-Certification Form. The Student's Cost of Attendance and Estimated Financial Assistance are two fields on the form. By entering the information here, we are able to pre-fill the Applicant Self-Certification Form with this information.
How much can I borrow?The minimum and maximum you can borrow is determined by the school you are attending, the loan type you selected, and the student's state of residence.
Is there a penalty for pre-payment or paying the loan off early?No, you can pay your loan off early regardless of your repayment terms without any penalty. You will only be charged the amount of interest that has accrued on the loan until the day the loan is paid off.
In order to apply for a loan, do I need to know what school I'm attending?Yes, you need to be enrolled at least 1/2 time as a student at an eligible school.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked the Chief Ministers of Bharatiya Janata Party-ruled states to chalk out an agenda for poverty alleviation. While his emphasis on efficiency is good, he should not allow anti-poverty schemes to become the pivot of statecraft—something, that happened when the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) was in office. This played a major part in its decline. Modi should learn from the mistakes of the Congress (even though Sonia Gandhi and her son refuse to learn any).
Some of the points made by the Prime Minister may be useful for the Chief Ministers. He wants BJP-ruled states to become role models for other states. Addressing a meeting of BJP CMs and party office-bearers, he said that states should ponder over the interlinking of Aadhar-related welfare programmes so that the benefits could be maximized and delivery facilitated. A committee of Chief Ministers of BJP-ruled states has been constituted for the purpose. It comprises Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan, Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, and BJP vice-president Vinay Sahasrabuddhe. "There are some schemes that are only applicable to one state, others that are replicable. This committee will go through all that and come up with a poverty alleviation agenda that will be implemented in BJP-ruled states," said Chauhan.
As for the focus areas of the government, Sahasrabuddhe informed the media after the day-long event, "Mr. Modi spoke of six areas where the government was keen to see rapid transformation take place—poverty alleviation, rural development, women's empowerment, employment of youth, good governance, and Swachchh Bharat."
While Modi's keenness or sincerity to transform the country is beyond doubt, there is scarcely anything that tells us any perceptible change in the above-mentioned six, or any other, areas. For instance, around 2 lakh jobs were created in 2016, whereas the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government generated 6 crore jobs in six years. Swachchh Bharat is visible only in sarkari ads and jamborees. There is no mitigation in rural distress. One can go on and on. The point is that little has changed on the ground since Modi assumed office in May 2014, for he is still wedded to the Nehruvian Consensus, notwithstanding the rhetoric and the tokenism to prove the contrary.
And now a new danger is on the horizon: the government's propensity to lay special emphasis on the removal of poverty. On the face of it, the criticism of the government on this issue is an 'elitist,' anti-poor position. How on earth the money spent on anti-poverty schemes can be called dangerous? I would like to offer the analogy of belly bulge in this context.
Many of us get bothered about the paunch that we acquire because of improper diet, sedentary habits, and lack of exercise. The way out, as any gym trainer would tell you, is a complete change in lifestyle. The guidelines are familiar: cutting down fried and junk food, avoiding alcohol, light dinner, regular exercise, abdominal crunches, etc. The regimen is tough, painstaking, and slow, but that is how it is: you can't have the lifestyle of a glutton and the physique of a model.
There are innumerable companies, though, that offer 'miracle' cures to obesity. They claim to have found 'unique' drugs—herbal, Ayurvedic—that would keep you in shape without any exertion. Charlatans all of them.
Poverty alleviation schemes are like the pills that claim to give you a flat tummy. The desired results never follow, but the side effects are aplenty. Unsurprisingly, there are countless reports and anecdotes about the corruption arising out of anti-poverty programmes; over the decades, lakhs of crores of rupees have been spent on such programmes, with little benefit to the poor. The reason is not difficult to find: as in the human body, beneficial changes in body-politic too happen in entirety, not partially.
No employment guarantee scheme can help the poor: if there are no roads and transportation for them to sell their goods and services; if bad law-and-order situation or activists have driven away big companies from the area on one pretext or the other (thus denying the locals an opportunity to become part of the organized sector); if the local authorities are oppressive and exploitative (as they often are); if the traditional artisans and craftsmen are unable to sell their produce because of the lack of marketing. In short, what perpetuates poverty is not the lack or inadequacies of anti-poverty schemes but the inability of government to do its basic duties. Thus, what the Modi government should be focusing on are: proper administration and law and order, infrastructure development, making the business environment conducive for the private sector; it should be a catalyst rather than a player.
It is politically impossible to scrap the supposedly poverty alleviation programmes like the NREGS but Modi should take his focus away from them and concentrate on general improvement, on governance. That would be the real cure for poverty.

A Confessional Moment
I love a good game of tag, and I want to thank Lu Ann, author of The Cup Of Life, for thinking up a great way to get to know more fun folks in what I dub, "The Underground Tea Syndicate."
And so, based on the questions she has posed, here is where I write my Tea Confessions:
1) First, let's start with how you were introduced & fell in love with the wonderful beverage of tea. There were many initial tea moments as I was growing up. My great-grandma Olive, for example, would steep me a cup of Lipton tea and let me drop numerous ice cubes in it. Or, in the summer she'd scoop a tablespoon of powdered tea concentrate into a glass of cold water for some instant iced tea. But where the fascination really took hold was a trip to visit my Aunt Jane and she took me out for afternoon tea. You can read all about that moment right here.
2) What was the very first tea blend that you ever tried?
Difficult to recall. My mom often had and still has Red Rose tea on hand, and that was my first foray into Lipton alternatives.
3) When did you start your tea blog & what was your hope for creating it?
I started this blog just after the birth of my first daughter. Becoming a mother was terrifying, confusing and exhausting, and as much as I ferociously protected and cared for my little baby, I needed something, anything, in which I could feel competent. And so I wrote. It wasn't really intended for anyone else initially. It was reflecting on past tea moments and remembering there was a greater world out there that I could someday introduce my little girl to. It was my creative outlet and a way to recharge. I was actually surprised when I realized there were people reading it, and even more surprised (and delighted) when tea companies began reaching out and asking me if I would please try their teas.
4) List one thing most rewarding about your blog & one thing most discouraging.
I love, love, love when readers share their own special tea moments with me, and I feel like a kid at Christmas when a tea company introduces me to their own creations. I feel both surprised and honored every single time.
I rarely feel discouraged except when I realize how long it's been since my last post. While I initially started writing just for me, now I do feel a bit of pressure (self-imposed) to now stay on the radar screen of the blogiverse - and that can only happen by writing and posting on a regular basis.
5) What type of tea are you most likely to be caught sipping on?
Single estate Assams or any really robust Breakfast Tea blend. I like a good, strong blend that really kicks you in the teeth and lets you know it's there. That doesn't sound very refined or relaxing, I realize, but I love 'em hearty!
6) Favourite tea latte to indulge in?
I've only had one Tea Latte and it was a green tea latte from a local café that shall remain nameless. I generally prefer not to write negative reviews about things - I prefer to write about that I love - but that was one of the worst things I've ever tasted. I'm going to have to give Tea Latte's another go at another venue. I am very open to recommendations!
7) Favourite treat to pair with your tea?
The cucumber sandwich. It is practically perfect in every particular when it comes to accompanying tea. You can find my recipe at the bottom of this past blog post.
8) If there was one place in the World that you could explore the tea culture at, where would it be & why?
A tour of tea rooms in the UK would be a fun thing to do again. That would probably be one of the most relaxing vacations I could take right now. But for really exploring tea culture, I would love the opportunity to go and stay at a tea estate in the Assam region or with a tea farmer in Japan. That would be a near religious experience for me. So, if any tea estate owners would like to fly me out to be your personal estate blogger for a week or so, I'm totally available for that. Just sayin'.
9) Any tea time rituals you have that you'd like to share?
No rituals, per se, but traditions in a sense. Every time my Mom comes out to visit, I try to take her to afternoon tea at a different local tea room. Those are some of my very favorite times in my entire life.
10) Time of day you enjoy drinking tea the most: Morning, Noon, Night or Anytime?
Morning. All morning.
11) What's one thing you wish for tea in the future?
That I would have more time to share tea moments with friends and family. We're all so incredibly busy - everyone is - that it's really challenging to find little pockets of time to slow down, share some tea and treats, and enjoy each other's company. It's a selfish wish in a way, but I wish it for everyone - time to connect with loved ones over a cup of tea.

My holidays have come to an end, but I'll try to continue to write content for my blog as much as I can. The real inhibitor is ideas rather than time. If you have anything you'd like me to blog about, send me a message.

If you organise it all Dylan I'll consider it. I'll come as the hardy skeptic.ReplyDelete
That seems like a good idea Drew, I'll have to find a different one though, since you do the AiG one. =P
Have you seen the God-awful (pun... intended?) blog that Eric Hovind runs? You might find it too easy a target but I think it would be hilarious.ReplyDelete
Or there's always Raytards "Atheist Central".ReplyDelete
We should do a blog-off. Kent Hovind's retard son Eric vs. The Bananaman himself. It'll be better than pay-per-view.ReplyDelete

About Tom Bianchi Gallery
The Tom Bianchi Gallery was established in June 2012 by Tom and his partner Ben, a Yorkshireman, who lives with Tom in Palm Springs, California. They both come from worlds whose values they challenge by offering visions of a more sensual way of being. Together they share a passion to celebrate erotic life expressed in art. They propose that living with these images on our walls is a contribution to a more free and healthy culture.
"Nowhere in the Universe is it written that a flower is an appropriate subject for art, but a penis is not" - Tom Bianchi
Tom Bianchi was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago and graduated from Northwestern University School of Law in 1970. He became a corporate attorney, eventually working with Columbia Pictures in New York, painting and drawing on weekends. His artwork came to the attention of Betty Parsons and Carol Dreyfuss and they gave him his first one-man painting show in 1980. In 1984, he was given his first solo museum exhibition at the Spoleto Festival. A full list of exhibitions can be seen here.
After Bianchi's partner died of AIDS in 1988, he turned his focus to photography, producing Out of the Studio, a candid portrayal of gay intimacy. Its success led to producing numerous monographs, including On the Couch, Deep Sex and In Defense of Beauty. His latest project is a book of his first photographs, SX-70 Polaroids taken on Fire Island Pines 1975-1983. Bianchi documented his and his friends' lives in the Pines, amassing an image archive of people, parties and private moments that document the birth of a new culture.

Dharma Haven
Instructions for beginning the practices are available on the Internet in most of the major European languages, and we provide links to them on this page. On a separate page you can find a brief introduction to Rangjung Rigpe Dorje, the Sixteenth Karmapa, who joined together his deep insight into our Western minds and his profound understanding of the Dharma, and gave us these practices -- inviting us to join our minds with his.
The 16th Karmapa, Rangjung Rigpe Dorje
top of page
The main introductory practice given by H. H. Karmapa to his Western students is the Guru Yoga Meditation of the 16th Karmapa. One can begin this practice immediately, or one can begin with one of the simpler practices, the Rainbow Light Meditation or the Meditation on Light and Breath. Meditations for children are available as well.
Guru Yoga Meditation of the 16th Karmapa
Guru Yoga is known as the axle of the vehicle that takes us to enlightenment. Most Tibetan Buddhists do Guru Yoga practice every day at the beginning of their meditation. The practice fosters perception of one's own mind as indivisible from the nature of the Guru's mind. In this simplified form of the practice, the guru (lama) is His Holiness, the Sixteenth Gyalwa Karmapa, Rangjung Rigpe Dorje.
It is said that the benefits of doing this
practice are
immeasurable. Lama Ole Nydahl,
who was entrusted by Karmapa with bringing this practice to Western
sums it up like this: "I know of no more effective meditation."
Diamond Way Buddhist Centers
The Rainbow Light Meditation, the Meditation on Light and Breath, and the meditations for children are not normally done as group practices at Diamond Way centers, but instructions and practice texts are available at centers around the world.

The Philadelphia Shell Club
The Philadelphia Shell Club was formally founded on September 22, 1955 during a meeting at the Academy of Natural Sciences. Among its 58 charter members were collectors such as John Dyas Parker and Charles Wurtz, and scientists including Henry A. Pilsbry, Ruth D. Turner and R. Tucker Abbott.
The regular monthly meetings
The club meets on the third Thursday of every month except July and August. There is a main speaker, and often shorter presentations from club members. Over the years, every major figure in American Malacology has spoken at a PSC meeting, most more than once! See the meeting page for details of past and upcoming presenters.
The Auction
The club's annual Shell Auction was its earliest special event. It was held for the first time on November 17, 1955, and netted $151.26 for the club's treasury. The auction has since grown considerably and moved to the third Thursday in May, where it replaces the regular meeting. One of the last regularly scheduled shell auctions in the world, this is a great opportunity to buy rare and unusual specimens at a fraction of market prices!
The Philadelphia Shell Show
The club's first shell show, featuring members' own collections, was held on November 8, 1962. 21 years later, in 1983, the first Philadelphia Shell Show opened to the public. The club held it at Drexel University, but two years later moved it to the Academy of Natural Sciences. One of the largest shows in the country, it attracts a strong field of exhibitors and dealers from home and abroad.

She's a fast talker. She speaks her mind. She looks bonkers in a bikini. Yes, She's still married to that handsome tennis player who almost always makes it to the quarterfinals. But don't worry—she says we have permission to stare. That's why Brooklyn Decker is, now and forever, the kind of girl who really floats our boat
It only takes one conversation with the supermodel to determine that, okay, yes, maybe she's not quite the sweet dork she fancies herself to be—but something daffy is going on inside that lovely head of hers. Decker, 25, is a fun, fast, loopy talker. "As you can tell," she interrupts herself at one point, mid-anecdote, "I talk a lot." For instance, there's her long, spirited defense of Gisele Bundchen for her ungracious post–Super Bowl, mama-grizzly remarks about Tom Brady's teammates (Bundchen was caught on-camera fuming, "My husband cannot fucking throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time"), which Decker wraps up by admitting her Bundchen bias: "I have a top-five list, and Gisele is my number one. So she can do no wrong in my eyes." _Hold on—what kind of list is this, exactly? _"Well, everyone has a top-five list of their biggest crushes, you know?" says Decker. "Usually, it's guys on my list, but Gisele is just so perfect in every way." (Feel free to let your imagination wander. We did.)
One guy who didn't make Decker's list: Taylor Kitsch, her co-star and love interest in this month's board-game-to-movie-blockbuster Battleship. Decker talks about the Friday Night Lights actor almost fraternally, labeling his habits (dirty jokes, hockey addiction, general Canadian-ness) as "Kitschisms." "But you probably shouldn't quote that—like, make it into an official noun or anything," she says, "because then it's going to make his head really big."
Decker gets bashful only once during the conversation: when she's pestered for more names in her top five. She finally agrees to share one more, and the reason for her reluctance crystallizes the moment she utters the name Dave Matthews. "Yeah, I know. I know." She talks through the shocked silence. "I know! I know, I know. My husband is really gonna make fun of me for this." For once, the men of America are on Andy Roddick's side.

The terrible loss of 19 firefighters hit home in a personal and tragic way when the community learned that the nephew of current Operations Chief Terry McElwee and grandson of former Fire Chief Herb McElwee was one of those who perished in the deadly Yarnell Fire in Arizona on Sunday. It is a reminder that those who head out to the lines when a wildfire breaks out put their lives at risk every time they do so.
I was at the top of Inspiration Point during the Jesusita Fire covering what seemed then to be the breaking news that the fire was heading north up the steep, brush-covered flanks towards Cathedral Peak and the potential of overrunning fire lines stretched along East Camino Cielo. At the same time it was clear the fire had also pushed east, crossed Mountain Drive and was threatening the Montecito community as well.
