Elliot Daly readily acknowledges that a British and Irish Lions squad announcement is one of rugby's "iconic moments".
The difference between this week's squad unveiling and four years ago ahead of the Lions' Australia tour, though, is that England star Daly should be among head coach Warren Gatland's chosen 37 or 38 players.
And while Daly is preparing for a normal training day at his club Wasps' base near Coventry tomorrow, he admits the live televised midday announcement can hardly go unnoticed.
"I think everyone will be watching it," he said.
"It's one of those iconic moments, isn't it. Every four years, everyone watches it.
"It is a massive thing for the rugby community, and I think everyone is looking forward to it.
"I don't know whether we will be actually training at the time, so we will probably be outside.
"We watched it four years ago, and there were a couple of Wasps boys that might have been involved, so there is always a little buzz around the club, and as soon as Wednesday comes everyone will be talking about it on Twitter and everything like that.
"Hopefully, a few Wasps boys get in there."
If selected, Daly could prove to be an integral part of Gatland's New Zealand-bound squad, given his ability to provide options at full-back, centre and wing, with many pundits tipping him for a Test team place.
In 2013 it was a much different story, with a then uncapped 20-year-old Daly lining up against the Lions as one of only two Englishmen in a Barbarians side that provided their opening tour opponents in Hong Kong's sweltering heat and stamina-sapping humidity.
Daly kicked a penalty for the Baa-baas in a 59-8 defeat, but four years on, he is firmly established as a member of England's Six Nations title-winning team, with 13 caps to his name and a burgeoning reputation among the most exciting attacking players in European rugby.
"It was a tough tour, that, for the Barbarians," he added. "We had England at home (Twickenham), then we flew to Hong Kong, where the conditions were very warm, to say the least. I think we stuck with them for about 50 or 60 minutes, but then they blew us away at the end.
"They are a quality side full of quality players, and to play against the Lions was amazing.
"I was up against Jonathan Davies in the centre, and it was Owen Farrell at 10 and Jamie Roberts at 12."
Daly is expected to be among a double figure England contingent who will be named in the Lions squad for this summer's 10-match tour, and the waiting game will soon be over.
"I think it (Lions) is in the back of everyone's mind, really, but you can't do anything but play well for your club," he said.
"I like playing anywhere on the pitch, whether that is centre, wing or full-back, I don't mind.
"I just want to do the best for whatever team I am in at that time, just try to get my hands on the ball and influence the game.
"Wherever that is on the field, I just love playing rugby and want to get on the pitch.
"You grow up watching international rugby, and then you grow up watching Lions rugby.
You always remember the big games and what an honour it is to be involved in sides like that.
"I think everyone knows the prestige of it."

Discussion in 'GBAtemp Art Studio' started by Rowan, Jun 11, 2009.
tell me what you think of them i think they are some of my best works.
kinda scary.. and it's ''The sun shall rise once AGAIN" i'd change the background color too ..
scary? how so
I actually don't know how it is scary... but Mia (think that's her name) doesn't really fit in... Since she is faded and has a different kind of art. Background needs some fixing... Maybe a stock image, or a nicer background. A little too bright... Same goes with Avatar. Fix background.
Overall, I like it because it sticks out.....BUT!!!! If you change that green background color to gold (same style, same everything, only golden), I think it would fit better the "image" of the whole ava/sig.....
Other than that, I really like it..
change it to either gold or black.
Your not granville! Only he can have matching Golden Sun avatar and sig. I actually clicked on this thread thinking it was Granville's thread that he made recently.
i like it ^^
witch font did you use?
itty bitty pixel
Uh, by far better....Kicks ass now!
Very nice!
how do you do stuff like this? its awesome!
i mean take a look at my Avatar its fully sh*t i whipped it up in Photoshop and Paint i am a huge GS Fan
one thing though did you put the characters in? or was it a pic you found because i think you should take out Alex and maybe put in Felix, Sheba or Piers
Hey Granville isn't the only Golden Sun Fan here!!!
Granville may not be the only Golden Sun fan, but he is the best GS fan on here! (I kid I kid)
Anyways, nice avatar and sig. Hehe. I actually don't have the best editing skills myself, so it's pretty much assured that someone could make a better sig than mine.
well you've got better editing skills than me
Granville i like the avatar it is very nice
to make a better effect add a 1px white border around the image then a 2px black one
and thanks for the comments
they have really improved my avatar and sig
donno what about you... scares as shit.
background color bothers me badly..
Yeaa~! It is better now! I like it ^^
I like the avatar, I don't like the signature that much because of the font, if you want to keep it retro, keep the font style as none, I think it would look better like that. And to be honest I never like what you made but these two seem nice.
Avatar: Great
Signature: Font is so-so, but its great
Great Job

Dusty Bits have been arguably two of the hardest working DJs and producers in the Buffalo area since their inception and it has really begun to pay off. After a busy past weekend for the dynamic duo that saw a headlining announcement alongside the likes of Dodge & Fuski in Pittsburgh, PA as well as a killer performance at Webster Hall's BASSment in New York with Jantsen and Dirt Monkey and the Kairos Audio Crew, the boys still found time to shoot a mini mix our way for the Buffalo Rage Community's Amplify this coming weekend. After Eyes Everywhere turned in a solid mix last week, Dusty Bits takes the helm to showcase their talents and give a glimpse into the weekend's coming shenanigans. Thirty minutes of dirty beats, clever remixes, and solid originals make this mix the perfect pregame essential so turn up the volume and let's get ready to get dusty this Saturday.

I moved from Long Island to Florida, and found out that you have to have a job that fill financially help you. You have to have what is best when it comes to friends and lovers. You find out that when you stop looking at the wonderful parks and beaches, Florida is just like anyplace else. I want to leave Florida, but I know I have to leave for the right reason. When I left New York I thought Florida was the answer. I want to leave Florida, but I learn that someplace else isn't the answer.

I agree that at a certain level people are mostly the same, but there are definitely shifts in behavior and overall culture when you move off Long Island, and much of it is for the better.

Here is a tutorial on how to cut your own jelly roll strips! Although it is very convenient to buy fabric that is already cut into strips for you, when it comes to solids colored fabric, I actually buy it by the yardage and cut my own strips to save money! I would rather splurge my money on the designer fabric pre-cuts.
Start by starching your fabric and press flat. Line up your selvage to make sure it is straight.
I like to fold over twice and line the ends up next to each other, as opposed to right on top of each other.
Use your cutting mat to make sure all sides are straight. Make sure the sides are flush with the grid lines.
Use your ruler and rotary cutter to cut off the top of your fabric to make sure that is straight.
Use your ruler to measure out 2.5″ and make your first cut! Move your ruler over another 2.5″ and make your second cut. Continue until you've have cut as many strips as you can with your fabric. Stack them up and they are ready for use!

We design and build our furniture with very clear intention: to provide a timeless and much-loved addition to your home or business, built by hand to endure for generations.
As such, each piece is custom-built to your specifications, to your needs, your space, your lifestyle. We hand-select every piece of material, with deliberate vision and mindfulness of the end result.
So here's how it works:
Browse the products we've previously designed and built.
Reach out to us!
If one of our portfolio pieces suits you as specified and pictured, great! We'll let you know the expected lead time (typically 8-12 weeks), cost, and delivery options, and we'll get to work.
If you like our sensibilities and are inspired by our aesthetic, ask us to design something new. The vast majority of our works were borne of conversations and notions, descriptions and site visits. And new designs are priced comparably to the existing pieces.
Or, we might need to have a few conversations to tweak an existing design (move a door, add a drawer, change the legs,…), provide a few additional drawings, look at a few samples for certainty, or talk about recommendations for a style or wood species appropriate for your home. This is a piece of furniture that will live with you for years and years to come; you need to be overjoyed when it arrives. And this up-front work ensures you are.
You can also feel free to present us with a design or an idea you may have in mind. We're always happy to collaborate.
Once we've settled on a design, we request a deposit of 65% of the total product cost in order to begin work. Once your deposit is received, we will confirm a timeline and keep you apprised of the progress as we approach completion. Upon receipt of the finished piece, we collect the remaining balance due.
We use only domestic materials (U.S.-grown and -made), and do everything we can to minimize consumption and waste. This is not a marketing effort. It's simply what we've been doing since the inception of our business.
Every species or material you see on our site is available, and the employment thereof can be applied to any design, with very few exceptions. If you'd prefer to have your Transatlantic table made in White Oak instead of Black Walnut, no problem. Just ask.
If you live outside the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area, we enlist a professional delivery service to bring your piece(s) from our shop to your home or office. We use only "white glove" service*. We do not mark up our shipping fees, and we're always happy to be entirely transparent about these costs we incur.
We pride ourselves on not only the highest-quality workmanship and attention to detail, but on the utmost integrity and honesty in our interactions and communications with our clients, partners, and vendors. Should you ever have a question or concern, give us a call or send us an e-mail.
We look forward to working with you!
*White glove service: The delivery people hand-wrap your piece(s), load it on their truck, drive it as far as it needs to go, carry it in, unpack it, place it where you wish, and remove all packing materials. It's as easy for you as it can be. We have had great success with this method, and it's more affordable than "crate and freight"!

Objective: The overall objective is to enhance the regular classroom curriculum with logic, analytical thinking, and problem solving skills and to offer real life situations in which to apply these skills. More specific information for each grade level can be found through the links below.
Statement from the teacher: Failure is not considered a bad thing in this program. Many students who are enrolled have never or have rarely experienced difficulty in the regular classroom. This program pushes the limits. The students are told quite often that they will fail the first time, the second time, the third time, even the 7th time they try something. But eventually, they are going to get it. That's when the real learning happens for these students
Class times: Classes begin in late September/early October due to testing and other factors for grades 2-5. Grade 1 will start 3rd quarter.
Grades 1and 2 meet 30 minutes per week.
Grade 3 meet 45 minutes per week.
Grade 4 and 5 meet 80 minutes every other week.
Grades 6-8 meet in the Engineering Class every day.
Participants: Students are evaluated based on test scores or benchmarking, grades, teacher evaluations and parent surveys. Some of the criteria the teachers look for are: above grade level work, high motivation, high level thinking, organizational skills, etc. The teachers are given a questionnaire to complete that ultimately gives a "score". This score is used in conjunction with other age appropriate criteria to determine whose needs might be met by this program.
General expectations:
1. The students will receive a folder in which they will keep the work they do in their respective classes. They also use this folder for homework and home correspondence.
2. Homework will be assigned almost every class period and is expected to be completed (or attempted) for the next class session. The problems given for homework are typically very difficult. It is not as important for them to get the "right answer" as it is to show their work and what they tried.
3. Inappropriate behavior is not tolerated. In the event that a student is disruptive in class, he/she will be sent back to their regular classroom. Continued issues will result in withdrawal from the class.
1st grade
2nd grade
Classes will begin after grade level testing.
3rd grade
Classes will begin after grade level testing.
4th grade
5th grade
6th-8th grade

Recent news headlines have focused on the disagreement between the U.S. and Europe over genetically modified foods: the U.S. exports them, but the European Union doesn't want to import them, believing their safety remains unproven. Are genetically modified foods safe?
Longtime anti-GM foods campaigner Jeffrey M. Smith presents the "opposing" case. He offers cases where GM produced results that were at best unexpected (increased starch content in potatoes), at worst grotesque (pigs without genitals). He describes how one corporation reportedly tried to bribe Canadian government scientists into approving genetically engineered bovine growth hormones they deemed unsafe; how some scientists have reported their careers were threatened as a result of their refusal to approve certain GM products in the U.S.; and how "conflicts of interest, sloppy science, and industry influence" can distort the approval process.
Smith's best-selling book is paired with a new DVD and CD set that shows how genetically modified organisms (GMOs) put our health and environment at risk. This GMO Trilogy And Seeds of Deception Set will impact consumer perceptions and buying habits.
"Monsanto doesn't want you to read this book. They know you will be angry. And you will be totally right to be angry..."
- Guy Denutte "A concerned citizen" (Cali, Colombia)
"Most of us do not know what Genetically Modified Organisms are, let alone that they have been added to our diet, with potentially deadly results. As major food corporations have attempted to play God with our food supply, all in the name of more profits, they have made consumers their guinea pigs. Learn how these GMO's have not been thoroughly tested for long term affects on humans, yet have been allowed to be added to the U.S. food supply, though numerous countries worldwide have banned the same GMO's. There are also stories of scientists that have attempted to raise alerts regarding these GMO's and have been threatened for their efforts. All food is not created equal, and you need to learn why. Read this book."
- AJD (Long Beach, CA USA)
"This is one of the best topics covered today by Mr. Smith and very in depth as well. He tells us who is and how we are being deceived through the genetic engineering of our main food supplies. He has very astutely pointed out the problem how to deal with it and what political means we can take to stand up for our rights to not be poisoned."
- By Ken Tarnowski "we keep falling down the rabbit hole"

I am beginning a personal word study on "Zeal".
Dictionary.com defines Zeal as "fervor for a person, cause, or object; eager desire or endeavor;enthusiastic diligence; ardor."
Lately, I have been so captivated by this Biblical idea and thought.
Romans 12:11 says "Do not be slothful in zeal."

Trisha, Kajal on cloud nine
The response in Chennai to their Telugu releases 'Bodyguard' and 'Businessman' have made Trisha and Kajal happy, respectively. "Since both the actresses did not have any Tamil release in the last few months, they are glad that these Tollywood films have bridged the gap," say sources.
While 'Businessman' which has Mahesh Babu and Kajal Aggarwal in lead roles has hit a whopping number of 14 theatres in Chennai, 'Bodyguard', Venkatesh-Trisha starrer, is being screened at eight screens, including top multiplexes.
"This is despite competition from Kollywood biggies like Nanban and Vetai. The trend clearly shows that the audience for Telugu films in Chennai has tremendously increased," says the manager of a cinema hall in a northern suburb of Chennai.
Interestingly, both 'Businessman' and 'Bodyguard' have been distributed in Tamil Nadu by Studio Green run by Gnanavelraja, who is a close relative to Suriya and Karthi. While 'Businessman' is directed by Puri Jagannadh of 'Pokiri' fame, 'Bodyguard' is a remake of 'Kaavalan' which by itself is a remake.

Kirby's Dream Land 3 – Acro
Media: video game: "Kirby's Dream Land 3″ by HAL Laboratory
Platform: Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), Wii Virtual Console
Once the game is beaten, including defeating the final boss after collecting all the star-heart pieces, a new mode labelled simply as "B" will unlock in the options menu of that save file. B mode pits Kirby against all the game's bosses with only a single life allowance. The second boss of the game is the orca known as "Acro" (Get it? 'Orca' backwards!). Even though it looks like he could, he is unable to devour Kirby in either the main game or the B mode, but if you lose to Acro in B mode, you are treated to a still image of Acro holding Kirby between his jaws. Enjoy it, because it takes a while to beat the game to completion!

text: You met someone out one night- a common enough occurrence. It could have been a party they were throwing, or one a million others in your larger-sized city. It's a dog-eat-dog world out there, and everyone is a hustler. But is it you that is being hustled? Let's start on the basis that you are attractive enough to get hit on when you are out on the dance floor. Or perhaps you have a great sense style, or a big group friends. All attributes that a person may look for in a mate. Or, in a person they'd like to attend a party. Promoters are generally somewhat charming, love going out, and are smooth talkers. And they do provide benefits that you may not get if you weren't friends with them. However, its good to identify the exact parameters your friendship. If you are new to the club/party scene, here is some guidance, babygirl/boy. Follow this easy to use flow chart to find out, if in fact, someone likes you – or if they are a promoter priting f your presence.

That's all we've got time for, make sure you stay tuned to VAVEL UK for more Euro 2016 content. I've been Ayden Hussain, I hope you enjoyed the match. See you soon!
From one colossal match to another, Italy will have to replicate this performance if they want to beat Germany.
Spain crash out and back to the drawing board they go. They failed to create any real chances, but when they had a sniff at goal, they failed to convert.
Italy have produced a masterclass and totally outclassed Spain. Thoroughly deserved. Goals from Chiellini and Pelle mean they now go on to face Germany.
90+4': Yellow card now for David Silva.
90+2': A swift counter attack saw Darmian square the ball for Pelle who made no mistake in smashing the ball beyond de Gea.
90+1': GAME OVER! 2-0! Graziano Pelle.
90+1': Four minutes will be added.
90': Corner to Spain, time is running out.
90': Remarkable save from Buffon! Pique latches onto to a long ball, but the Italian shot stopper got down well to keep his side a goal to the good.
89': Thiago Motta receives a booking. As does Jordi Alba.
87': The answer to that is no.
86': Corner to Spain. Can they make this one count?
85': Quick counter attack by Italy, Insigne's shot is saved by de Gea.
84': Italy make their final change, Alessandro Florenzi makes way for Matteo Darmian.
82': Eder makes way for Lorenzo Insigne.
81': Spain make their final change, Aduriz has been subbed for Pedro.
78': Spain have another corner, the pressure is mounting, but nothing comes of it.
77': Another save from Buffon, this time it was Pique from the edge of the box.
76': Brilliant volley from Iniesta is palmed away by Buffon.
71': Whipped in by Fabregas and it's headed over by Sergio Ramos.
71': Spain have a corner.
70': Morata has been replaced by Lucas Vazquez.
70': Tremendous build up play from Spain and Aduriz tried a first time shot on the edge of the box. He aimed for the far post but could only shoot wide.
62': Almost 2-0! The cross from De Sciglio is touched by de Gea and no Italy player could reach the second ball.
60': Morata got onto the knock down by Aduriz and tried to catch out Buffon with a chip shot, but the ball bounces wide.
57': Header over from Aduriz after a cross from Juanfran.
55': SAVE! Incredible from de Gea, one-on-one with Eder and the Manchester United keeper stayed big to thwart the danger.
54': Yellow card for Graziano Pelle.
53': First change for Italy, Thiago Motta is coming on for De Rossi.
52': Speculative effort by Fabregas, the ball has sailed over the bar.
49': The corner was taken short and the following cross was headed by Morata, but the ball went straight into the hands of Buffon from point blank range.
49': It's taken by Silva and it's headed behind for a Spain corner by Daniele De Rossi.
48': Freekick to Spain in a decent position after a handball by Leonardo Bonucci.
47': Florenzi has taken it and it has been dealt with by Morata.
46': Bright start again by Italy and they have a corner.
Second half is upon us and Aritz Aduriz has come on for Nolito.
If Spain can match the energy of the Italians, they may have a way back into this. Pedro and Koke could be the key to them finding a way into winning this tie.
Spain lack any real energy and have failed to make the Italians sweat whilst defending.
HALF TIME! Italy lead 1-0, deservedly, Spain have offered nothing so far and David de Gea has kept his side in this tie.
45': Tremendous save again from de Gea after Giaccherini cut inside and let rip towards the top corner!
41': Booking for Nolito.
38': Punched away by Buffon.
38': Poor header back by Bonucci and it's a corner to Spain. Nolito to take.
37': Very poor freekick by David Silva.
36': Freekick now for Spain, after a late challenge on Iniesta by Pelle.
35': Thoroughly deserved lead for Italy. 1-0.
33': De Gea couldn't hold onto the freekick and it was turned in by Chiellini.
32': Silly foul by Ramos, Italy now have a freekick on the edge of the box.
30': Nothing comes from the corner.
29': Fizzing cross by De Sciglio is unintentionally turned behind by Ramos. Could've ended up as an own goal.
28': Corner for Spain, Nolito will take it. It's taken short to Iniesta who tries his luck from the edge of the box but it's collected easily by Buffon.
25': Lovely late run by Parolo sees him header De Sciglio's cross just wide.
23': Yellow card for De Sciglio for shirt pulling.
22': Nothing comes of it.
22': Morata wins a corner for Spain.
21': La Roja are starting to find their feet now. Much better from them.
20': Lovely bit of passing by Spain, Fabregas' shot was blocked brilliantly by De Sciglio.
15': Very scrappy opening 15 minutes where passing is concerned.
12': Spain are really struggling to keep the ball here. Italy on top.
11': De Gea has done it again! Super save! He tipped Giaccherini's shot onto the post.
8': Incredible save from de Gea! He got down very quickly to keep out Pelle's header.
8': Italy have a freekick in a very promising position.
6': Bright spell of possession for Italy, Eder's shot is deflected into the grateful palms of David de Gea.
3': The rain is pouring in Saint-Denis and the players are struggling to keep their footing.
2': Italy have gotten off to a very bright start, can't say the same for the weather, it is horrendous.
Here we go! The match we have all been waiting for is finally underway!
And now the national anthem of Italy.
Here are the anthems, first, the Spanish national anthem!
The players are in the tunnel, kick off is minutes away!
Kick off is less than 30 minutes away!
Azzurri have replaced six players, the only players that remain are Buffon, Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli and De Rossi.
Since the Euro 2012 final where Spain beat Italy 4-0, La Roja have only replaced four players from that winning 11. Out go Casillas, Arbeloa, Alonso and Xavi.
And now the Italy team! Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Florenzi, Parolo, De Rossi, Giaccherini, De Sciglio; Pelle, Eder.
According to MARCA, Spain have never played the same XI for four games straight in their history.
Vicente del Bosque names an unchanged XI for the fourth game straight; de Gea; Juanfran, Pique, Ramos, Alba; Busquets, Fabregas, Iniesta; Silva, Morata, Nolito.
Team news is in!
Team news will be out at around 4PM BST, but until then, stay tuned to the VAVEL UK website for more top quality content!
Sergio Ramos will have to be at his best to keep Inter Milan's Eder quiet, the striker has silenced his doubters and has become Italy's main man, scoring a lovely goal against Belgium and then topping that with a wonder goal against Sweden. With Candreva out, whoever plays right wing back for Italy, whether it be Alessandro Florenzi or Matteo Darmian, will have to be at their best to stop the marauding Jordi Alba, who has been a menace down the left for Spain.
As everyone knows, the Spain team is littered with world-class players, such as Andres Iniesta, Sergio Ramos and David Silva. It also comes as no surprise that Iniesta has been the main man for Spain, constantly pulling strings like the great Frank Oz.
Antonio Conte on the other hand is expected to be without danger man Antonio Candreva and Federico Bernadeschi after they failed to train on Saturday and the incoming Chelsea manager will have to be mindful that a whopping 10 of his players are one booking away from a suspension.
Spain head coach Vicente del Bosque named an unchanged side in each of Spain's three group matches and may do the same for a fourth time running. However, it's more likely that he'll include a more energetic midfielder in the centre of the park like Koke, or he may opt for a more defensively sound midfield by starting Bruno but the Spain boss has a fully fit 23 man squad to choose from. Juventus striker Alvaro Morata has bagged three goals so far this tournament and will have to be at his best to get past the Italy back three and goalkeeper, who all play for Juventus too.
Turkey's Cuneyt Cakir will look over proceedings at the magnificent Stade de France in Saint-Denis. The game will surely be a sell-out and with over 80,000 fans packed into the ground, the atmosphere will be that of a final.
The two teams have met on 35 separate occasions and both sides have claimed 10 wins and of course, there has to be a winner today, so one of the sides will edge ahead and claim the bragging rights over their rival.
Both sides ended their respective groups with a loss, Italy lost to the Republic of Ireland, Spain lost against Croatia and both of those teams have now been eliminated. Despite being a very exciting clash, many would've hoped a match like this should have been saved for the latter stages of the competition, but due to La Roja's failure to defeat Croatia, this massive game has arrived early.
The match is of course a repeat of the 2012 final, where Spain ran riot and handed the Azzurri a 4-0 thrashing. Italy will of course be hoping to exact revenge by dumping out the reigning champions at a very early stage. The winner of the tie will go on to face world champions Germany, after they cruised past Slovakia 3-0.
Hello all! Welcome to VAVEL UK's live minute-by-minute commentary of Italy vs Spain. Today's contest is a Round of 16 tie and is surely set to be the most exciting one thus far. My name is Ayden Hussain and I will be guiding you through the glorious encounter which will get under way at 5PM BST.

Arsenal end trophy drought with FA Cup win
Arsenal ended its nine-year trophy drought on Saturday, coming from two goals...
New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) – Eric Gelinas potted a power-play goal 1:15
into overtime that lifted the New Jersey Devils to a 4-3 victory over the New
York Rangers on Saturday at Madison Square Garden.
New Jersey trailed 2-0 early in the second, but ripped off three straight
goals to jump in front before Chris Kreider scored on a power play with 21.3
seconds left in regulation to bring the Rangers even.
New York's Ryan Callahan took a high-sticking double-minor 1:02 into the extra
session, and Gelinas lit the lamp with a blast from the top of the right
circle just 13 seconds into the man advantage.
Michael Ryder, Travis Zajac and Cam Janssen each scored once, while Martin
Brodeur posted 21 saves for the Devils, who snapped a three-game slide.
Mats Zuccarello notched a goal and an assist and Brad Richards scored once for
the Rangers, who have lost all three meetings with New Jersey this season.
Henrik Lundqvist allowed all four goals on 24 shots in defeat.
Ryder gave the Devils their first lead of the game with 4:04 left in the third
when he capped a string of three straight New Jersey goals with a stellar
individual effort. He danced around a defender at the New York blue line
before skating into the circle and slipping a shot through Lundqvist's five-
hole to make it 3-2.
However, after Zajac was whistled for delay of game with 1:11 on the clock,
Lundqvist left the New York net to give the Rangers a 6-on-4 advantage and
Kreider backhanded a rebound into the back of the net off a Callahan shot to
send the game to overtime.
Richards got the Rangers on the board 3:32 into the game when he beat Brodeur
to the short side from the left circle off a 2-on-1 rush and Zuccarello
doubled the lead 57 seconds into the second when he pounded home a long
rebound from the left circle.
Janssen's rebound tally at 6:02 of the second brought the Devils within one
before Zajac tied the game just under six minutes into the third when he
recovered the disc on the low right side and lifted the puck high over
Game Notes
Richards extended his point streak to six games … New York dropped to 5-7-0
at home this season … New Jersey's Tim Sestito and Jaromir Jagr each
registered two assists … Callahan notched two assists for the Rangers …
New Jersey went 1-for-3 on the power play, while New York finished 1-for-4.

Musicians often tell stories between their songs on stage, and audiences invariably respond over-enthusiastically, as if that little tidbit about the guitarist's strings coming undone is the funniest thing they've ever heard. Or at least the funniest thing coming from a genuine rock star for whom they have just paid hundreds of shekels to go see.

J.J. Redick dropped by CBS Sports Radio on Wednesday to discuss numerous NBA topics, including the intervention that Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith had with Dwight Howard on "Inside the NBA" Tuesday night.
Barkley asked Howard, who appeared in place of Shaquille O'Neal to discuss the Spurs/Thunder series, among other playoff topics, a fairly direct question: Why do you think people don't like you?
Redick, who played with Howard in Orlando from 2006-12, found the segment riveting. He also didn't think Barkley or Smith were out of line with their questioning.
"I didn't mind it," Redick said on The Doug Gottlieb Show. "It certainly made for good television. Charles asked some tough questions, and Dwight handled it pretty well."
Howard said – and Redick agrees – that people started to dislike him toward the end of his tenure in Orlando. Howard led the Magic to the NBA Finals in 2009, but his final three seasons there were a mixture of disappointment and drama.
"I said to my wife last night, 'Do you realize how good Dwight was in Orlando?'" Redick said. "Dwight was awesome. He was a top-five player. In 2011, I think he was second in the MVP (voting). He had a legitimate case that he should have been MVP that year (ahead of Derrick Rose). The reason, to me, that people may not like Dwight is because of how things ended in Orlando and how things happened with the Lakers."
Barkley commented that Howard often looks "disengaged" with the Rockets. Of course, that can happen when James Harden dribbles his way through just about every possession.
Howard, who spoke for several minutes off the cuff, responded to Barkley, "I'm always interested in winning."
"I don't think (the dislike for Dwight) has anything to do with him being disengaged in Houston," Redick said. "I think Dwight hit it on the head. It was like this long, drawn-out Dwight-mare. Dwight's last season in Orlando, it was a tough year. I don't fault him, though, because it was his prerogative as a player to want to play in a bigger market, to want to become a free agent. And because the executives in Orlando were pulling at him and trying to get him to stay, Dwight's nature is that he wants people to like him. He wants to please people. I get that he was confused and unsure about what decision to make, and so this whole opting in and opting out thing – ultimately we ended up trading him – it was annoying. It was annoying to be a part of, but it worked out. Look, the guy's going to get another great contract. He's still playing, to me, at a high level. We'll see what happens this summer with him."
Howard entered the NBA as a good guy with an infectious smile. Then he became a star. Doug Gottlieb wonders if stardom changed Howard.
Redick's take? Of course it did.
"I don't know that there's anyone in the world who can honestly say that coming from grassroots basketball and then becoming a worldwide star doesn't change," Redick said. "People change. Of course Dwight changed. Of course stardom changed him. It changes every superstar, so I don't think he's unique in that. I don't know that he did anything that wrong. Maybe it was just his indecision about whether or not to opt in or opt out of his contract. . . . Charles asked the question, and Dwight said it was because of how things ended in Orlando. It's interesting because I would, in a sense, agree with Dwight that that's the reason people started to dislike him. I don't know that he's done anything wrong since that, but people continue to dislike him. Why is that?"
Gottlieb has a theory: Although Howard led the Magic to the Finals, ultimately, it didn't work out in Orlando. It didn't work out in Los Angeles, either, and Kobe Bryant didn't want Howard to return after a disappointing 2012-13 season. Now it's not working in Houston. Yes, a lot of players have had issues with Bryant, and yes, a lot of players probably wouldn't want to play with the ball-hogging Harden, but Howard has been the common denominator in all three scenarios. Perhaps people don't dislike Howard, Gottlieb said; perhaps they just don't respect him as a player as much as they used to.
"I'm not going to disagree necessarily," Redick said. "But ultimately, a GM, an owner – somebody this summer – has to decide, assuming he opts out of his contract in Houston, what they're willing to pay for him at his current production level and looking ahead going forward. You brought up Kobe.There's not a perfect player out there. There's not a perfect guy out there. Let's bring up LeBron. The things that were written back in 2010 with LeBron were awful. The backstories about things happening in the locker room or how he acted (toward) teammates – every guy has faced this scrutiny. But maybe you're right in a sense that a player's level of play and level of production ultimately determines other people's perception of him, not necessarily just his attitude."

Carbohydrates and You – 4 Keys to Better Health
Carbohydrates are the body's primary source of energy. They fill the body's energy store by providing glycogen (stored in the liver and muscles). When there's a need for energy, glycogen is then broken down into glucose and released into the bloodstream for use by cells and muscles. Insufficient dietary intake of carbohydrates can be dangerous to your body's metabolism. If we take in too many carbs however, our bodies will store the extra glucose as fat. So what exactly happens when we eat carbohydrates?
When carbs are consumed, the pancreas regulates the release of insulin to push glucose into the cells, liver, and muscles after a meal. The pancreas serves to keep blood glucose (blood sugar) levels constant. When regulation cannot be achieved, one of two conditions exists. In some instances, blood sugar levels remain elevated after meals – a condition known as diabetes. When blood sugar drops and stays below a normal range, this condition is known as hypoglycemia. Neither is optimal, but we do have a bit of control in preventing these conditions. Here's how:
- Know what types of carbs you're consuming. The Glycemic Index (GI) is a way of classifying carbohydrates by the effect they have on blood sugar. Generally, low GI foods that promote a slow and steady glycemic response are desirable (oatmeal, whole grains, etc.) While data on the Glycemic Index has yet to provide conclusive results, it has been documented that high glycemic diets (white bread, white rice, etc.) tend to increase the risk of heart disease in those who are overweight.
- Eat balanced meals. While the Glycemic Index of foods can give you a general idea of the effect they will have on blood sugar, we typically eat foods in combination with other foods. Therefore, the overall glycemic response of the meal would be more appropriate. The problem is that this can be hard to measure and it takes time. The best course of action is to make sure you balance your intake with healthy carbs (fruits, veggies, whole grains), lean meats (chicken, fish), low fat dairy, and limit empty calories such as sweets.
- Eat at regular intervals. One surefire way to cause highs and lows in your blood sugar throughout the day is by going several hours between meals. Try to eat something every 3-4 hours. It doesn't have to be a large meal. Long periods between meals increase the chance of overeating at mealtime. Eat regularly to control hunger and maintain a temperate mood.
- Keep your weight under control. Carrying extra weight increases the odds of having health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. But even a very modest reduction in weight can greatly improve your health. Those who are overweight or obese should take part in regular physical activity (such as walking) and eat healthy foods to begin gradual but steady weight loss.

well I was just watching a youtube video of a girl demonstrating how to apply makeup. I scroll down and I read all these rude comments from guys; they mentioned how too much makeup turns them off and it's not pleasant to see this girl when the makeup wears off.
i mean, what do you guys really think about this? does too much makeup really turn you off? doesn't all guys want girls to look their best all the time?
Most Helpful Guy
Those guys are either all kissing ass or have never seen girls without make up. I've told my girlfriend I didn't like it when she doesn't wear make up- well I didn't say it exactly like that. I asked her if she had a cold/felt sick that day. Yeah, I felt like a jerk, but it's better than just telling the truth.00|00|0

Microsoft To Come Up With Office 365 Personal For Households
Share the post "Microsoft To Come Up With Office 365 Personal For Households"
Microsoft has announced a new Office 365 personal for households which could be used by one person or an entire family.
The good news is that it would come at a lesser price than what you pay for office 365 Home Premium. The company is charging $6.99 per month, or $69.99 annually, for the individual subscription.
The Office 365 Personal subscription allows access to Office apps on one PC or Mac computer, and one tablet. To put it simply, Office 365 Home premium is a $99 annual subscription package ($9.99 monthly) and gives online access on up to five PC or Mac computers.
While Microsoft will continue to offer Office 365 Home Premium subscription for households, it is changing the name to Office 365 Home.
Though the company is yet to announce the exact date for launch, it is expected to be available in US by spring..
Microsoft has assured that the customers would get all of the subscription benefits including 60 minutes of Skype calling per month, 20GB of additional OneDrive storage and updates for the most recent version of Office no matter whichever Office 365 subscription they chose.
Microsoft announced a new feature called Office Graph, earlier this month, to enhance the Office 365 experience and further increase productivity.
Microsoft's new Office Graph is based on Yammer's concept of the Enterprise Graph across Office 365.

The focus proxy is according to according to XEMBED spec"The solution proposed by XEmbed is is to beat X11 with its own weapons: The topmost toolkit is /required/ to keep the X input focus on one of its own windows without any embedded children. Keeping the focus on such a window ensures that key events are always delivered to the outer toolkit and thus can be forwarded easily to any embedded window. This also makes it possible to use this part of XEmbed with clients that do not support the protocol at all, without breaking keyboard input for the embedding application."
Thanks - Gal.

Guidance There's the idea, Hanged Man. There's the plan, Two of Wands. There's the execution (the doing of it), Eight of Pentacles. And there's the achievement, the victory, Ace of Swords. That's the recipe for success, neatly laid out. Thinking and action are the main ingredients for this dish.

Ace of Swords
Hanged Man – Two of Wands – Eight of Pentacles
There's the idea, Hanged Man. There's the plan, Two of Wands. There's the execution (the doing of it), Eight of Pentacles. And there's the achievement, the victory, Ace of Swords. That's the recipe for success, neatly laid out.
Hanged Man and Two of Wands both are about foreseeing. Hanged Man is intuition, psychic insight, a vision. Two of Wands is the future itself, and is about a plan. Together, they are about seeing the future, and having a plan in mind.
Two of Wands is 'for sure' and security, especially financial security. Ace of Swords is victory, winning. Together, you are sure you're going to make it, going to succeed.
Two of Wands is financial security and is a future. Eight of Pentacles is work and employment. Together, they are about a steady job and about continuing prosperity.
Hanged Man The illustration has an upside-down man with a yellow halo of 'brain-on-fire' awareness. This is how upside-down things are when you first see them from a non-material standpoint, how upside-down you feel at the beginning of spiritual thinking. Hanged Man is the meeting of the subconscious and conscious, so it is about awareness, intuition, feeling and sensing, brainstorming and 'getting it.'
Two of Wands shows a rich man who 'owns the town' standing with the world in his hands on top of his finished flat roof and planning what he is going to do for even more profit on his real estate empire below. This illustration gives it a panorama of meanings. His overview is about planning and foreseeing, and about the future. His real estate empire is about financial success, security, profit, finance, banking, business plan.
Eight of Pentacles keeps at it, is working or is a worker, so employment subjects and efforts are featured. Repetitive actions, persistence, keeping at it. The carpenter is banging out one identical pentacle after the other. Ever heard a professional carpenter driving nails? You will never forget it, but will want to! It epitomizes consistency, persistence and steady performance.
Ace of Swords is winning, victory, achievement. It is great things, sure things, and having to do them. The picture not only shows the blade held high, but a crown on it for the achievement, and laurel leaves on the crown for victory.
EXPLANATIONS: [Use the arrow at lower right to skip this and go to Comments.]
All the words of each Tarot card reading you see here are a phrase-by-phrase translation of the scene pictured on those cards: no filler, no psychic impressions, no spirit guide. Word-for-word Tarot Verbatim(TM).
In these group readings, there's no question (and no Questioner) to limit what the four cards can mean, so they can mean opposite things.
When there is a negative-meaning card (a 'negator,' I call them), the readings contradict one another because that card can make any of the other cards in the spread negative. Negator cards mean things like: no, never, not, end, can't, etc. Never be queasy about the number of 'bad' card because it takes two bad cards to say 'not dead' and only one to say 'dead.'
Without a question or a Questioner, pronouns (I, you, he, she, we, they, etc.) are very flexible. I leave out pronouns in writing this as much as possible – awkward to do that sometimes. When I put them in parentheses, feel very free to change them around to suit yourself.
Now in a 'real' individual reading, the questioner asks a specific question which provides at least half the information! In an individual's reading, the parties are identified and sometimes a time frame is too. Here, in a group reading, we cannot do that and so we get more variety of sentences.
Horoscopes are group readings, too. Astrology is based on someone else's birth data, though, so a 'solar' group horoscope never really solidly applies to you! (Astrologers want you to know this!)
Tarot successfully addresses the group of visitors, whoever they are. It provides useful information that applies to their daily lives: They tell you this in the comments, for three years now. Tarot can tell you things about people you don't know personally – such as whoever on your job has a say in your raise or continued employment there, whether that is one person or many. Visitors report that the information is equally accurate for new visitors as it is for the family of regular visitors.
Do you want to read Rider Waite Tarot, yourself? Start with Learn Tarot by Pictures to get the day's cards' individual meanings; then read Learn Tarot by Observation, which gives you the thinking those four cards inspire in a qualified reader. Next, Group Analytical Tarot Cards Reading is the various things those four cards can say (without a question to guide them). Then, Guidance is a summary.
In this way, your intuition allows you to learn to read the cards without much effort if you come often enough. Regular visitors can just put it together.

When my children were little, I always imagined their teen years would be fraught and challenging. Why was this? Probably because that's all I heard from acquaintances and neighbors. Everyone had a story to tell.
"People always talk about what's annoying or troublesome," said Ken Ginsburg, a pediatrician specializing in adolescent medicine at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. "We can psych ourselves out and it can hurt our relationship with our kids."
Ginsburg is a co-author of "Letting Go with Love and Confidence." I recently spoke with him by phone about fostering independence in teenagers. Here are excerpts from that conversation.
Kogan: What should our goals be in raising a successful, happy teenager?
Ginsburg: It's too easy to just focus on their happiness. Think about raising a kid who will be a happy 35-year-old: an adult who will be content with what they do, thrilled about their contribution, be hardworking, have social/emotional intelligence, and a collaborative spirit.
Kogan: What can parents do to better ensure this?
Ginsburg: We need to support the fundamental questions of adolescence, which are: "Who am I?" and "Am I normal?" We can help them develop their independence one step at a time under our watchful eye.
Kogan: What about when a teenager pushes you away?
Ginsburg: Pulling away during adolescence is normal. When teens push away, it's not because they don't love you, it's because they love you so much. You want your kids to understand that you have their back and that your goal is to let them fly. Your child might be sending explosive messages about being "ready" to be on his own. But the truth is that just as you have ambivalence about him leaving, he has strongly conflicted feelings about going.
Kogan: What are some practical steps to navigate the different stages of independence a teen may go through?
Ginsburg: You can start by doing some observing. Think back to when you baby-proofed your home. If you just guessed what needed safeguarding, you might have missed some opportunities to protect your baby. The first step was to walk around on your knees and see the surroundings at the same level as your toddler. Once you saw the world from his vantage point, you knew to turn that pot handle inward. That same sort of observing — getting a "kid's eye view" of the mall or the route to school — will heighten your senses about the challenges your teen is likely to encounter.
- - -
According to Ginsburg, teens who feel controlled can rebel in adolescence and may seek lives separate from their parents as adults. Ultimately, parents want to have a relationship with their kids that is interdependent and that lasts a lifetime.
Ginsburg says the trick is to know when to give your teen a little bit of rope and when to tighten it. He suggests the following steps for parents:
1. Consider your teen's temperament and unique developmental needs.
2. Listen respectfully to what your adolescent thinks she can handle and ask what guidance or support she seeks.
3. Invite her to develop a plan with you.
4. Generate a map of each step that needs to be mastered to gain the skills and confidence that will prepare her to meet the overall challenge.
5. Help her understand that she will continue to gain more independence and privileges as long as she continues to demonstrate responsibility. When she knows that your goal is to help her achieve her goal, she'll be much less likely to complain that you are monitoring the process.
For more information and practical strategies for teens and parents, check out Ginsburg's Web site, www.fosteringresilience.com.

My mom always joked that my dad didn't believe cars belonged in a garage. He thought the space was extra square footage for projects and tinkering.
Our garage has certainly been used that way – to store massive sheets of plywood (sadly not being used as a beer pong table), to cut wood and trim for different projects, or to spray paint in an open area without worrying about dirt getting blown into the paint. When we bought our house our garage was a hodgepodge of leftover bits, non-working machines, and 40 years of junk that had nowhere else to go.
We've been cleaning out the remnants of the previous owners over the past two years: five vintage bicycles (not working), an extra fridge used solely for beer, tool chests, antique and very rusted yard tools, and the odds and ends we had no use for. Someone came by the house with a trailer and loaded up a tool chest, a patio set, and some other furniture from inside the house which helped clear out a lot of space.
We finally found someone to come take the Craftsman riding lawn mower (the size of a Fiat) which was not working. Then last weekend we spent about two hours tidying, throwing out, and re-arranging.
And now our garage looks like this! WOW!
We did the unthinkable: get two cars into the garage. My side has a door opener already installed, so over the winter we hope to put one in on Adam's side as well. If it snows this year like it did the last two, we'll need it. Having the garage clean and tidy (and as usable parking!) is definitely a victory.
Have you done anything really simple lately that's been a big victory for you?


text: For some reason I find it very difficult to spend a lot of money on Easter Baskets. For years we did a family basket rather than one for each kid. There were items specific to each child (video or book they wanted, their fave candy that the others didn't like, etc...) but mostly it was for everyone. We did this because I found the bean counting to be unacceptable and TOTALLY contrary to the reason that we celebrate Easter. My breaking point on this was having Wiz throw several fits because he got fewer black jelly bean than Jess did. He didn't have fewer total jelly beans, just fewer of the black ones than she did. He LOATHED the black one and wouldn't eat them anyway! We included a lot of handmade items also. One thing that is hard for me is the egg hunt. I don't like the plastic eggs because they are so bad for the environment. You spend money on them to either pitch them or to store them (and forget where they are so that you must buy more next year. I detest hiding eggs, esp outside because of the risk of food borne illness. Eggs have a natural waxy/oily coating that keeps bacteria from getting into them. Boiling removes this coating and leaves them vulnerable to all sorts of things. So hiding hard boiled eggs creeps me out. A fairly easy solution is to turn plastic spoons into bunnies and eggs. Cut little ears out of felt (or fun foam or cardstock) and glue them to the side of the spoon that holds the spoon. On the back side, draw a nose and whiskers and smile. You can draw eyes or glue googly eyes or beads on. This is all done with the handle pointing down. For easter eggs, decorate the back of the spoon with sharpies or whatever you have on hand. To set up the hunt, stick the handle of the spoon into dirt,a shelf,anywhere you want to hide them. For each spoon found, the child gets an egg. Or, if this is an adult only hunt, the winner gets a beer, tiny bottle of booze, whatever. You can put a number on the front of the spoon and label the eggs accordingly if you want. This way the hard boiled eggs are not exposed. For toys and trinkets you would put into a plastic eggs, you can use a small fabric bag or put them all into a brown paper sack or hat or whatever and have the kids reach in and pull one out. For some of our kids/families, candy isn't what we want to give out. At least not in large amounts. If you use plastic eggs, you can hide a lot of things in them. I made prizes for a friend's church Easter Egg Hunt one year. The person in charge stole all of the money that was to fund this hunt. Over 100 kids showed up each year and the church was worried because they couldn't spend that much again. My friend knew I was both cheap and crafty and she begged me to help. I worked in a large call center for a jewelry company and for three shifts they helped me make bunny and egg spoons (about five hundred total). We worked between calls and they were so sweet. I didn't even ask. I also made koolaid playdough. Unsweetened koolaid gave color and scent and it was super easy to make. We scooped out enough to fit into half of the egg and then put it into a cheap sandwich bag (the fold over kind, not the ziploc kind). The bag and dough were then put into a plastic egg. I also made homemade super balls that went into eggs. They are surprisingly easy to make. (So is silly putty if you want to put that into an egg, or just play with it.) Everyone at the church who knew about the theft was shocked at how little all of this cost, and even more surprised that the kids and parents liked these better than all the toys and candy from past hunts. What are your favorite Easter ideas and crafts? If I can find the right crimps, I am going to take ribbons, attach a crimp on each end, then a charm or fancy bead to that for bookmarks. I think they would fit into a small egg but I will likely put them in a new book for my kids.

Blend in a food processor: Fresh basil leaves Toasted pine nuts Parmesan cheese - the good stuff Minced fresh garlic Chicken stock - add at end to get pesto to desired consistency (Most people use olive oil instead of chicken stock. My pesto tastes just as good and is lower fat.) I freeze pesto in ice cube trays. Then I put frozen cubes in several little baggies so I can defrost just as much as I need at any one time. Bon appetit!

Harry Brompton's Crowdcube campaign is not such rich pickings
We wrote about Harry before http://fantasyequitycrowdfunding.blogspot.co.uk/search?q=+harry
Simply put the campaign is over valued. With just 1 day left and despite being a BAW (Branson Award Winner), they have raised under £100k of their £300k target. They have made so many mistakes it's hard to know where to begin.
They simply dont understand how this works. Of course we could have told them and we are pretty sure that had they taken our advice they would have raised their money - but they didnt ask.
That is why we set up ECF Solutions - if you are thinking of using equity crowdfunding, don't follow Harry, talk to us first. It's free to chat..

At 28, Kendra Smith had launched a career in Toronto. As a program assistant at Ryerson University's office of the vice-president, research and innovation, she was making more than $50,000 a year and enjoyed working with her colleagues.
But she lacked passion for the job she started in 2009, so Ms. Smith made the decision to quit and go back to school. After taking some time off to travel in Europe, which she has mostly prepaid, she plans to do an undergraduate program in social work at Carleton University in Ottawa in the fall of 2013, possibly followed by a master's degree.
"If I know now that this is not the job for me, why would I continue in it for another 20 years?" Ms. Smith asks. "I may as well do something that I really want to do. I've been involved with a lot of youth programs and that's where my passion lies."
Single, with no dependents and little debt – except for a $5,000 student loan and about $1,000 on a credit card – Ms. Smith feels the time is right to make this move. She has $10,000 banked for her first year, plus some RRSP savings to use if necessary, and plans to work part-time throughout her studies. However, she estimates her total costs will be about $25,000 annually – tuition alone is $7,000 a year.
Is she financially ready? What are her concerns?
"It sounds silly, but I think the hardest things I'll have to give up are the small purchases – being able to go out for coffee, dinner or a movie with friends or to buy those concert tickets or a new shirt," Ms. Smith says. "When I look at my monthly statement, it will be an adjustment going from a steady salary back to the mentality of being a frugal student. But I've been there and it wasn't that long ago."
Although her family initially had concerns about her switching careers, they are supportive. Ms. Smith will live with her grandmother in Ottawa at first and later share an apartment once she secures part-time employment. While Ms. Smith hasn't sought professional financial advice, she'd like to know the biggest mistakes students make in budgeting and get some practical tips.
Sandra Daga, a CA and senior lecturer in accounting at the University of Toronto Scarborough, says that most people returning to school after being in the work force underestimate how much it's going to cost and don't plan for the number of years that they're going to be in school.
"For example, the cost of textbooks have gone up exorbitantly in the past few years," Ms. Daga says. "But if students are creative [in budgeting], they could rent them, which is very cost effective. Students also often underestimate living expenses such as utilities for their apartment because they haven't planned ahead."
She approves of Ms. Smith's plan to work part-time and share accommodations, but also suggests that she could save money by not having expensive cable and using the Internet to watch entertainment programing instead.
"A student has a couple of pairs of jeans, a few tops, and is very creative about where they dine," Ms. Daga says. "I think we forget all those aspects of being a student. If Ms. Smith can think back to how she minimized expenses previously, that should help her."
While it's not necessary to have to all the money needed for school beforehand, she recommends Ms. Smith reassess what she can do with the money she has saved and get a plan in place. Working a little more before starting school in the fall of 2013 would not only help her to save, but still allow her time for volunteering in her field of study.
"That could lead her into a full-time position when her schooling is over," Ms. Daga says. "Volunteer work is highly regarded by employers and would be a good start for her."
Since she has RRSP savings, Ms. Daga suggests the best option for Ms. Smith is to take out the money when her taxable income is low. Ms. Daga doesn't see the Life Long Learning Plan (LLLP), a government program that allows one to withdraw money from RRSPs, tax-free, to finance an education, as a wise choice for Ms. Smith because there are restrictions on how it can be used and how it can be repaid.
"Next year, when she's a full-time student and not working too many hours, she's going to be in a low tax bracket," Ms. Daga says. "That's the perfect time to just cash the RRSP out and use that money to supplement her education."
Ms. Daga also believes that it would be a good idea for Ms. Smith to talk to an accountant about budgeting. She recommends working out a weekly, monthly and annual plan so that every aspect of her tuition and living expenses are planned for deadlines that loom ahead.
For individuals going back to school but staying in the same career, she suggests having a talk with their employer to see whether they might back some or all of the cost.
"Think of how your degree can help the business," Ms. Daga says. "If you can talk in numbers about what the degree could bring to the company in revenue or in a reduction of expenses, that will take your argument further than if you just focus on 'what's in it for me.' "
