I was so surprised (and thrilled) that these both shipped on the same day!! Getting here, as usual Ipsy was much faster, Birchbox decided to take its usual lap around the country and come in a full week later. I unintentionally peeked this month for Ipsy, I clicked into the Glam Room not knowing it was already updated so I already know what I'm getting and was half disappointed, more into that later. Fingers crossed the Birchbox redeems itself this month, normally it doesn't let me down but the past two months have been in a slump.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with these services, Ipsy and Birchbox are two beauty subscription boxes that come monthly. Both of these cost $10 a month and each arrive with 4-6 different goodies ranging from sad little foil packets to full size products! I would say that typically Birchbox consistently delivers high-end skincare and hair care products with a sprinkling of makeup while Ipsy goes more for the mid-range items and is normally a lot of makeup items.
Initial Reaction: This bag is adorable, I love the design but I don't like how plasticky it feels. This will be a perfect electronic cable bag though since it's the perfect size the material feels like it will be slightly water resistant in case of accidental spillage But why are there are only four products this month?!
1. $5 Marvelous Moxie Lipstick in Get Ready is a trahttp://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/acne/acne-care-11/oily-skinvel size. This is my favorite lipstick so I was happy to get this but this is about the only thing I'm pleased with in my bag this month.
2. $5 Pacifica Body Butter in Indian Coconut Nectar is a travel size product. I do NOT use lotions (I use coconut oil to moisturize) so getting all these lotion samples is starting to get real annoying.
3. $16 Be a Bombshell Eyeshadow Quad in Bora Bora is a full sized product. I must say that these colors are beautiful and I don't mind getting this but not super excited either.
4. $10 Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream in shade 31 is a travel sized product. I have a feeling this will be really greasy on my face since it has 42 SPF. I'll give it a try anyways, the shade seems to be a bit off for my skin though.
Initial Reaction: Mixed expectations when I first opened the box but I ended up quite pleased this month! Some things look full sized and other things are very generous sample sizes!
1. $2.50 Illume Go Be Lovely Lavish Hand Creme in Thai Lily is a sample sized product. I was really excited for this, the packaging is so pretty, but the sample size is tiny! It's one of those tear offs so basically I have to use it all at once or risk it drying up.
2. $3 Air Repair Rescue Balm All-Purpose Skin Salve and Lip Balm is a sample size. Normally this isn't something I would be happy to receive but this winter has been awful on my lips and it has never been that chapped. I'm happy to get this and hopefully it will help out!
3. $20 INIKA Certified Organic Eye Liner in Green Lagoon is a full sized product. I received my box the day after St. Patrick's day and this would have been perfect to wear! This green is gorgeous, only recently have I gotten into colored eyeliner so I'm thrilled to have this to play with.
4. $4.50 Keims Cleanshine Energizing Shampoo is a sample sized product. This smells so nice and normally I don't like getting shampoo since it is typically in those foil packets that do nothing, but this is a very generous sample size that will take me quite some time to get through so I am quite pleased with this item too.
5. $3 Tea Forté® minteas is a single tin (retails as a three pack). This I'm the least thrilled about getting, I don't really eat mints nor am I a fan of green tea. But the tin is adorable and this will get passed onto some for sure.
*6. $20 Lacqua & Co Nail polish. I'm not including this in the total value simply because this was an extra I paid for so I knew it was coming. I'm loving these skinny nail polish bottles though (like Julep), they look really nice and is a great space saver! I'm excited to have these to test out and let's be real, I was sold when I saw the light purple which is a favorite shade of mine to rock on the nails.
I got some nice things this month but I must say that Birchbox is the winner even before the add on I paid extra for! Ipsy had one item I was truly excited about (the lipstick) while I was basically thrilled with everything I received in Birchbox this month. The shipping time still drives me crazy though, I noticed this month Birchbox switched to a new distributor so I'm hoping this month was their time to work through the kinks and it will get better next month.

"Word of mouth will improve popularity because, for decades many have been missing this balanced RetroRadio format. Congrats to all involved."
Hey Brian. It may be the middle of the night for you, but it's mid-afternoon for me. Totally cool that you are playing classic RetroRadio pop oldies. Love that music!"
"Thank you so much for the tickets to The Lovin' Spoonful & Johnny Rivers! I am so happy that I found your station. Thanks for the joy you bring us all. I am proud to be a member of the WFDU family."
I just want you to know how much my wife Diane and I appreciate your fantastic radio station. We're loving the great "minor" hits of the 50s, 60s, & 70s in addition to the usual classics thrown in too. All I can say is: The Archies to Led Zeppelin? WOW amazing!
"Let There Be Country with Willie is the best! I love it."
Duff plays my all-time favorite songs! What a wild and crazy guy! All the RetroRadio DJs are fantastic.
I just finished listening to tonight's Signal-To-Noise show. Totally awesome! I am a diehard fan of WFDU especially Big Al and now your show.
Love the Retro music and the whole station!
Thank you Lynn Crystal for your wonderful voice and beautiful music on Crash On the Levee. It fills my Saturday mornings.
Love all the shows, easpecially Tony Smith's RETRORADIO / POP-LOCK-IT, SOUL-SOCK-IT, RETRO-ROCK-IT!
Uncle Floyd, the best Sunday morning on radio!
Found your station on the way to my dentist's office in Brooklyn. I was just scanning FM stations.Heard your 1pm RetroRadio. Been hooked since! Love all the shows. Just wish your Retro format was 24/7. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for being the most amazing radio station!
I ALWAYS support your station!
Duff plays my ALL-TIME favorite songs!
My brother Joe turned me on to RetroRadio. Listening on the Smartphone app!
I found the link to the WFDU HD2 stream. I didn't think my modest TV room stereo system was capable of sounding so good using a laptop as a stream source. Great fun!
Hi Tony Smith. It's been a dark November. One of your selections today really resonated: "I put my faith in the people, but the people let me down. So, I turn the other way and carry on anyhow" Rare Earth - I Just Want To Celebrate. Thank you for helping lift the clouds.
Hey Evan! I felt compelled to tell you that I look forward to your Sunday show every week. I listen to WFDU every morning on my way to work. Your energy is intoxicating.
Ghosty, I'm listening to you at 11am, driving out Route 80 west from Nutley to Flanders. Don't feel so lonely....I'm out there!
Just donated online - my 2nd membership this year. My message is for my fellow baby boomers to get themselves in gear & donate. Other radio stations, i.e. WCBS-FM and Q104.3 are not playing our music. WCBS has lost its mind playing the worst of the 80's and 90's music and Q104.3 hasn't changed their playlist for years - same old junk. Having WFDU for my morning commute has made it much less painful. Thanks for playing all this great music.
I just discovered the station about a month ago and LOVE what you guys are doing! I'm especially fond of your programs - Judy & Duff. I live in central Suffolk County on Long Island. You guys are having so much fun and just about every song you play brings a smile to my face. I like that you actually play requests which add different influences to the mix. i also let my daughter listen to the archive shows. Keep up the good work!
Every program I've heard I like! I'm pleased I found you.
RETRORADIO!!! I just found you! Best station!

BRUSSELS, BELGIUM--(Marketwired - July 17, 2014) - WABCO Holdings Inc. (NYSE:WBC) (www.wabco-auto.com), a global technology leader and tier-one supplier to the commercial vehicle industry, has launched its industry-first modular braking system platform (mBSP) and already won major awards for this breakthrough technology from two global commercial vehicle manufacturers headquartered in Europe. WABCO's latest innovative braking architecture now enables its customers to interchangeably equip their diverse global truck and bus platforms with anti-lock braking (ABS) or electronic braking (EBS) systems based on regional market or regulatory requirements worldwide.
Building on decades of experience gained from pioneering advanced braking systems for the commercial vehicle industry, WABCO's next generation braking platform mBSP features the highest degree of standardization in the industry across both components and system software of its ABS and EBS systems. WABCO mBSP reduces the number of ABS components by 50 percent to the same amount of components as in EBS. By leveraging the advantages of WABCO's unique mBSP system, vehicle manufacturers can significantly reduce system development, installation and software testing time, accelerate homologation for their diverse brands and vehicle portfolios globally, and bring new trucks and buses to market faster. WABCO mBSP also accommodates the seamless integration of customer's own software and added system functionalities.
With WABCO's modular braking system, ABS and EBS components use the same mounting interfaces and connections on the commercial vehicle platform. Therefore, WABCO enables global truck and bus makers to tailor their vehicle platforms to regional requirements by interchangeably equipping them with either ABS or EBS. In addition, WABCO's modular approach helps commercial vehicle manufacturers to develop a range from value-based to premium truck and bus models on the same vehicle platforms depending on market needs.
"As the industry leader for innovation in braking systems, WABCO is the first to present a game-changing modular braking system offering a high degree of flexibility and scalability for trucks and buses globally. We are proud to launch a 'plug-and-play' solution that can also efficiently accommodate customized functionality from vehicle makers for their diverse vehicle platforms," said Jacques Esculier, WABCO Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We are delighted to have received these first awards from two leading global commercial vehicle manufacturers based in Europe to equip their next-generation trucks and buses for markets worldwide with WABCO's mBSP."
WABCO recently closed deals with two global commercial vehicle manufacturers headquartered in Europe for this differentiated braking solution. The first award represents the single largest deal in WABCO history. WABCO will provide mBSP with ABS and EBS applications for the customer to equip its next generation of trucks and buses. These commercial vehicles will be manufactured in Europe, North America, Brazil and India from 2017 through 2021. WABCO will supply its advanced braking systems to support production of more than 450,000 new trucks and buses for several of the customer's leading vehicle brands worldwide. WABCO will provide EBS for the second customer's range of commercial vehicles from 2018 through 2022. Ultimately, WABCO will furnish approximately 175,000 of this customer's new trucks with EBS to serve primarily markets across Europe. WABCO previously announced the incremental business associated with both awards in April 2014.
For many years, WABCO has already supplied both customers with an industry-leading portfolio of electronic control systems and innovative solutions for braking, transmission and chassis applications that improve vehicle safety, control and efficiency.
WABCO will feature its breakthrough mBSP amongst other highlights from the company's global portfolio of industry-leading vehicle safety and efficiency technologies at IAA Commercial Vehicles 2014.

When we think of the book of Revelation, the first things that come to mind are mysterious symbolism and apocalyptic imagery. But one of its most significant characteristics may be one we tend to miss: a consistent message of hope to the persecuted church.
Persecution is described in all parts of Revelation, and its historical context provides a reason for this. John’s apocalyptic writing most likely dates to the ad 90s, during the reign of Emperor Domitian. The persecution of Christians reached a climax at this time. Many were executed, and John himself was banished to the island of Patmos.
When we see this historical context clearly, we grasp the importance of Revelation’s message of “hope despite persecution.” We see it in John’s introductory words to his fellow believers: “I, John, both your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ . . .” (1:9) — words that set the tone for the whole book.
We especially see this theme of endurance under persecution in the letters to the seven churches (Revelation 2 and 3). These are written as imperial edicts, but John makes it clear that Jesus is the king of kings (and emperors) to whom we must listen. Just as imperial Roman edicts proclaimed, for example, “Hear what Domitian says,” so the letters of Revelation all include “hear what the Spirit says to the churches” (2:7, et al.).
Just as imperial edicts would often say “I know what you have done” to their recipients, so the seven letters repeatedly stress Christ’s words: “I know your works . . .” (2:2, et al.). The letter to Smyrna makes this theme clear: “I know your works, tribulation, and poverty . . . Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. . . . and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life” (vv. 9, 10).
The letters, except for Sardis and Laodicea, contain encouragement regarding perseverance in persecution. But persecution is not mentioned in Sardis and Laodicea. They are said to be either asleep or blind.
Conversely, each church is given some correction, apart from Smyrna and Philadelphia, historically the two most persecuted churches. Of the seven, the most fiercely persecuted congregations are the only ones praised without reproach.
Thus we must never presume persecution comes upon believers because they are not sincere or holy enough. If anything, the opposite is true: Churches that are not persecuted may not be spiritually alive.
This is not just a message regarding persecution in John’s time (1:19). Today Christianity is the most persecuted religious faith in the world. More people have reportedly died for their belief in Christ during the last century than in all nineteen previous centuries. In the twenty-first century, the number has increased even more. But if there is a single, unifying message in Revelation’s letters to the churches, it is that God sees their trials and promises that whatever is taken from them by persecution will be returned in the kingdom at an infinitely greater level — whether relationships, positions, possessions, or life itself. In this we rejoice!

Modern studies of the miḥna have focused on al-Ma’mun’s claim to spiritual authority. Basing itself on Ahmad ibn Hanbal’s interrogations and al-Ma’mun’s miḥna letters, this study focuses on a different aspect, the clash between the muḥaddithūn and the mutakallimūn. Decades before the miḥna erupted these trends debated several religious issues, primarily, whether theological speculations could attain the authoritative status of tenets of faith. Due to this controversy the muḥaddithūn denied the mutakallimūn the status of reliable scholars of hadith and law. The miḥna was a reaction to the muḥaddithūn’s hounding of the mutakallimūn. It was initiated by al-Ma’mun, who decided to interrogate all jurists and scholars of hadith about the createdness of the Qur’ān. The purpose of this policy was to degrade the muḥaddithūn and to raise the mutakallimūn to the position of intellectual and religious leadership.

BL/CE(LTE-M1) operates in 1.4 Mhz frequency block called Narrowband. The location of the Narrowband may vary in each subframe. It means that UE should need to tune to a difference frequency at every subframe. As you may guess, every freuqency retuning would take a certain period of time. It implies that we would need a certain period of guard period when transitions from one subframe to next subframe. Guard Period is a period during which no transmission and no reception occurs.
This guard period varies depending on whether it is downlink or uplink, and varies with different situations within downlink or uplink.
Type of uplink guard periods varies depending on the characteristics of data carried by a subframe and next subframe as described below (Following description is based on 36.211-5.2.5).
Downlink guard period is required as in the following condition (refer to 36.211-6.2.8).

If you’re a budding guitarist, there comes a point when you must ask yourself, “Do I want to know the names of the notes up and down the fretboard? Do I want to learn the workings of the modes? Do I want to understand chord theory?” Well, do ya, shredder? Because when you’re serious about learning this very useful information—which you should be, for it is the gateway to understanding harmony and music theory—then teacher, clinician, and Favored Nations recording artist Doug Doppler is the perfect guy to beat it into your head. Don’t worry, the clubbing won’t hurt a bit (though you may wake up in the middle of the night and find you’ve been chanting such patterns as “Root, 3, 5, 7,” and “whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half” in your sleep). Doppler will methodically go over—and over, and over—the laws of diatonic harmony until they’re hard-wired into your brain.
More valuable than Doppler’s ferocious chops—more valuable, even, than his decades of teaching experience (Doppler was personally tapped by Joe Satriani to take over Satch’s teaching studio when the emerging guitar hero embarked on his first major tour 20 years ago)—is Doppler’s natural gift as a motivational speaker. There’s no “I think you can” on this two-disc package. (An accompanying audio CD provides several jam tracks.) This seminar is 100 percent, “Oh yes you will, and here we go.” Encouraging to the last, the very personable Doppler is entirely confident of your success, and he addresses you like you’re a valued guest in his studio—think Mr. Rogers with a half-stack.

Our grain markets are off to a mixed start this morning, nearby soybeans are following suit from the poor close on Friday and have spent the entire overnight session in the red. Corn started lower also - but did bounce off of technical support and is currently trading a penny or two higher.
South American weather outlooks improved over the weekend which is keeping a bit of a lid on our futures markets this morning. Brazil’s forecast is showing cooling temps and much needed rains for most of the (double-crop) corn production areas in need of moisture. Meanwhile after a wet weekend there is a drier trend in store for Argentina (I think I saw a 10-day window??) which should finally allow soybean harvest to resume.

Inspired by "Pioneer Woman", Ree Drummond, I made this scrumptious hearty salad for "Team Fritz" for our monthly luncheon on March 31st. It is full of delicious roasted vegetables, mozzarella cheese, and homemade cornbread. My special twist is my fragrant, light and slightly tangy Meyer lemon dressing.
Combine the onion, yellow squash, zucchini on a baking sheet. On a separate baking sheet, combine the carrots, parsnips and butternut squash. Season both baking sheets with olive oil, salt and pepper. Be sure to spread the vegetables out into an even layer to prevent steaming.
Roast the pan with the onions, squash & zucchini for 25-30 minutes. Roast the pan with the carrots, parsnips and butternut squash for about 45 minutes. Allow all the vegetables to cool.
Meanwhile, cut the cornbread into 1-inch cubes and arrange on a baking sheet, drizzle with a little olive oil. Bake for 10-15 minutes. All to cool.
In a small jar, shake 1/4 cup Olio D'Natalia, meyer lemon juice, salt & pepper.
Place all the cooled vegetables, garbanzo beans, cornbread in a large bowl. Pour over the dressing and toss to combine. Gently toss in the mozzarella balls, salt & pepper and basil. Cover and allow to sit at room temperature for about an hour. This will all the flavors to marry and soak nicely into the cornbread.

Here we are going to talk about the students who are aspiring for JEE. No matter what course of preparation the student takes, be it for a year or two, we are taking into consideration the students who are IIT JEE 2020 Aspirants.
Why do you want to clear JEE?
Will you be able to sacrifice or at least limit your free-style life of hanging out with friends, attending every function and enjoying life on social media?
Will you be able to face the competition which registers 13 lakh students fighting for 10 thousand seats in some institutes across the country?
If you are able to get all the questions answered, you have all the reasons to prepare for JEE.
Students must keep their vision clear.The dream of getting into an IIT can only be achieved with strong willpower to succeed in one of the toughest entrance exams of the country. No matter how much you study or how many problems you solve, without determination everything will go in vain.
Proper set of resources which primarily includes study material and teaching support is a prerequisite to master the tricks and techniques used in this competition. Also, along with the resources your hard work is a must.
Putting right amount of efforts in the right direction is something which differs from student to student. Some of the students may prefer to study at night while some might get dozed off early. Some of you may even like a particular subject more than the others but what matters is how proficient you are in each subject. One cannot crack IIT just by studying the subject of his or her own liking. You need to put enough efforts on each subject, devote proper time and make sure you leave no stone unturned.
So this was all about the working plan. Along with this, time management for all the steps of all the three subjects should be done effectively. During the course of preparation if you feel like you are lagging at one subject, you should immediately start devoting more time to it, figure out the reasons for your lagging. For example, is it due to lack of proper concepts or insufficient practice or any other reason.
Don’t keep backlogs. Remember, there are hardly a handful of people who are successfully able to manage clearing the backlogs well in time and you should always try to become one of them.
Have faith in yourself as no one can help you better than you. Having faith in yourself will help you to remain confident through all the tough times. The journey that you are going to start will bring lots of surprises, failures, successes, setbacks and most importantly new learnings every single day. The most important part is not to get disheartened by failures or over-confident by successes. You must know how to maintain a balance between the two and keep maintaining the same until you achieve the target.
Believe that you can do it and after that nobody can stop you ever. Don’t forget, that smart work is equally important along with hard work for cracking JEE.

What is the criteria when reviewing applications?
Applications are reviewed by the CoBA Dean and may include consultation with faculty department chairs. Approval will be based on the nature of the activity and the value it will provide to the student's professional development. SSGs are intended to cover a portion, not all, of the student’s legitimate professional development expenses. Legitimate expenses include, but are not limited to, event registration fees, flights, transportation, and lodging. Food is not considered a legitimate expense.
Funding for the SSGs is raised through CSUSM Giving Day and The Taste for Student Success fundraiser. This event is an annual wine, beer, and food festival held at CSUSM.

The Savoy back to wall pan offers the best of both worlds. It retains the period style, but being back to wall the concealed cistern (not included) is mounted in the wall or funiture behind the pan.
This allows for much greater storage space, and opens up a host of design possibilities. The pan has a remarkably short projection of only 470mm (average projection is 550mm), making it ideal for the traditionally smaller UK bathroom.
The soil pipe can be used as a P trap (the soil exiting through the wall behind the pan), or it can turn left or right behind the pan with the soil pipe running along the wall to the soil stack.
Alternatively the soil pipe can bend down into the floor in an S trap configuration. The Savoy toilet seat in gloss white should be used on this pan. The concealed cistern is an additional purchase - we strongly recommend the bathstore concealed cistern with dual flush (6 and 3 litre flush) operated via a cable linked chromed push button.
Please be aware that because the soil outlet spigot protrudes beyond the pan, this Savoy toilet may not be suitable for installations where space is tight behind the pan. We therefore highly recommend that you consult a professional tradesman before attempting to install this back to wall toilet.

If you want a numbers matching vehicle, how do you decode a timing chain cover to determine if it’s the best match for your vehicle? Most timing chain covers have a casting number. Look on the front of the timing cover to find this number. In this example, we are using a casting number of C4AE 6059.
“C” – 1960’s; “4” – 1964; “AE” – the engineering number used to denote Galaxie (but was also used on many other Fords).
In addition to the casting number, there will be a small circle with a number in it. This example has a “65”, which means it was made in 1965. As you can see, the casting number does not always match the year the part was made. Within this small circle, there is a series of small dots surrounding the number. Each dot indicates one month. In this example, there are 7 dots, which would indicate the 7th month. The 7th month of a calendar year is July. Thus, the circle area indicates that this timing cover was made in July, 1965.
Some timing chain covers were service replacements made several years after the casting number. An example of this would be a C4AE 6059 with a circle containing a “72”. This would mean that Ford issued a replacement timing chain cover for a vehicle in 1972 (7 years after the vehicle’s production date).

Consumers who think gift cards only amount to the dollar value attached to the card should think again. Some gift cards really are better than others, value-wise.
Not all gift cards are alike, and consumers should know which ones offer great deals. These ten gift cards fit the bill, especially when you weight discounts, resale value, perks and fees.
A great place to get gift cards on the cheap is at warehouse clubs, notes Leah Ingram, spending and money-saving expert and author of the book The Complete Guide to Paying for College. "During the last holiday season, we were able to save 25% on gift cards by buying them in bulk at Costco," Ingram says.
People love their gasoline gift cards, and Shell is among the most popular. "We do an employee incentive here where our sales reps get to spin a wheel for a gift card, and I've noticed that whenever they land on the Shell gas gift cards, they cheer and dance around," says Danielle Kunkle, a vice president at Boomer Benefits in Fort Worth, Texas. "Everyone needs to fill their gas tank, and it's also a card they can easily pass on to their spouse or kids. Also, Shell stations are everywhere. I think that's why people like them the best."
This massage gift card is what retail marketers call a "concept card." The Massage Heist card can be used at any one of 150 U.S.-based spa and massage centers. "It really allows flexibility in using our services where and when it's most convenient for them, whether it's after a long day at the office at their hometown retreat or as a special treat while they're out of town traveling for work or pleasure," says Shane Evans, co-founder and president of Massage Heights. "The last thing we want is to stress people out over complicated terms and conditions, fees and expiration dates."
This tax deductible charitable giving-based card is brand new - it just launched on May 3, 2017. The concept is simple and appealing - give a Donors Unite card as a gift, and the recipient can steer the card toward a major charity of his or her choosing. "The website allows donors to search for charities by ZIP code or an organization's name," states Myron Levine, founder of the New York City-based organization. "Using Guidestar, the world's largest database of nonprofit companies, every known charity in the United States is listed on Donors Unite. For a minimum of $10, a donor can buy a gift card for a specific charity, customize a design, and then present the card by email or in person. Cards can be digital, instantly printed, or ordered in packs to use over time."
Amazon gift cards are proving to be increasingly popular, mostly due to the fact that card gives the recipient instance access to millions of products and services sold through the Amazon sales channel. Gift card exchange sites like CardPool and Raise even offer Amazon gift cards at a discount, creating more demand for the plastic.
"An eBay gift card is always a good bet," says Chris Brantner, the founder of BillGeeks.com, a site focused on offering bill-cutting and money-saving tips "Not only is the possibility of what you can buy substantial, but the average resale value for a $100 gift cards is $75.70, according to WalletHub.com. So even if you can't find something you like, or you just don't feel like you need anything right now, you'll still get some pretty good money reselling it."
At nearly 17% off, Olive Garden offers a great deal and can generally be used at other restaurants within the Brinker dining group, which includes Bahama Breeze, Season's 52, Red Lobster, Yard House and LongHorn Steakhouse, says Michelle Kille, vice president at GiftCardBin, in Sacramento. "That makes it a versatile card."
"Another flexible card, the Gap cards can be used across Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic and ATHLETA, including the outlet stores," says Hunter. "That's more than the typical one-brand gift card." As a bonus, these stores run a number of sales which makes it easier to stack savings for things like back-to-school shopping, when you pair discount codes with discounted gift cards from a gift card exchange site, like Cardpool.com, Hunter adds.
"Customers who purchase $50 or more worth of product at Sephora can get a free makeover," says Hunter. "So when you give someone a $50 gift card, you're effectively giving them a gift, plus a free makeover."

Last Friday’s nonfarm payrolls report of 215,000 new jobs in July with its attendant announcement of an unemployment rate of 5.3 percent drew mostly yawns from the media. That wasn’t the case on February 3 of this year when Jim Clifton, CEO of the polling company, Gallup, wrote a stunning opinion piece on the company’s web site calling the U.S. unemployment rate “The Big Lie.” Clifton raised more media frenzy the next day when he appeared on CNBC and suggested he might “disappear” for questioning the government’s unemployment rate.
Back then, the official unemployment rate was 5.6 percent. Today it’s 5.3 percent – a very healthy looking rate for an economy that is supposedly on the rebound.
Even for a government hell bent on putting the best possible spin on overcoming the Wall Street train wreck of 2008, which brought on the worst economic slump since the Great Depression, characterizing someone working one hour a week in a lawn job as “employed” seems like the height of duplicity. We decided to check it out.
We went directly to the source: the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the Federal agency that calculates who is employed and who is not. According to the BLS, the bogus nature of who is counted as “employed,” is even worse than Clifton suggests. Not only is a person counted as employed if they are working one hour a week in a lawn job paying $20, but a worker who makes no money at all donating his or her services to a family business for 15 hours or more per week is also considered employed.
Throughout the rest of America, one’s donation of services typically defines one as a volunteer not an employed worker; but the BLS doesn’t see it that way.
“Garrett is 16 years old, and he has no job from which he receives any pay or profit. However, Garrett does help with the regular chores around his parents’ farm and spends about 20 hours each week doing so.
“Lisa spends most of her time taking care of her home and children, but she helps in her husband’s computer software business all day Friday and Saturday.
The tricked up unemployment rate helps explain why the labor force participation rate is at a 38-year low of 62.6 percent. According to the BLS, July 2015 seasonally adjusted data show 93,770,000 individuals not in the labor force. That compares with 91,975,000 not in the labor force in July 2014. How can the economy and unemployment situation be improving when droves of workers are dropping out of the labor pool? Blaming the anomaly on retiring baby boomers does not explain what is happening to working age men and women.
In July 2014, there were 35.5 million men aged 16 and older not in the labor force. Today, that figure stands at 37.5 million not in the labor force, an increase of exactly 2 million men of working age. For women aged 16 and older, in the same span of time, their nonparticipation in the labor force has grown from 54.9 million individuals to 56.2 million.
The dismal labor force participation statistics are completely consistent with a tepid economy that can’t get out of the mire of 2 percent annual GDP growth, negligible wage growth, extended periods of unemployment (28 weeks versus the typical 16 weeks in the two decades prior to the 2008 crash), sluggish consumer demand, collapsing commodity prices and persistent warnings of the threat of global deflation.
Update: Labor force participation data for July 2014 has been updated to reflect the seasonally adjusted number.

I used to read biographies, I stopped, cold turkey.
3 main reasons: Survivor bias, confirmation bias and silent evidence.
Every time I read a biography I would ask myself how many other people did exactly the same (or better) as this person but failed? Did in this case means “did what this person attributes as key to their success”. The answer became clearer, you can work hard, persevere, get degrees, etc. and still FAIL. What people attribute for their success is not necessarily what they say, sometimes correct timing, right city, right person, correct decision at a specific time etc. play a much bigger role.
So as a rule, I don’t listen or read what someone attributes for their success, I observe. Actions speak louder.
I also try to read as many anti-biographies, i.e. people who don’t like the subject and write about the person from a negative point of view, you learn quite a lot (although you have to read between the lines as the authors get carried away). E.g. The “anti-biography” of Marcelle Reich (March Rich), Founder of Glencore. You learn quickly that bribing and being a cowboy in the natural resources business is the best way to win, whether you like it or not. Compare this to if Marcelle Reich wrote his own biography, he’d wax lyrical about hard work, negotiation/persuasion skills (in this case code for brown envelope skills) etc.

This time of year, a lot of soon-to-be grads are probably thinking about moving out on their own. This is going to mean taking responsibility of your own finances- all the expenses, budgeting and saving. It also means securing an income. But how much money does it actually take to live on your own? Of course, anyone can easily blow through $100,000 in a year. But what’s a reasonable minimum for a reasonably comfortable lifestyle?
Everyone’s situation is a little different. Location is a huge variable. However, the beauty of starting off fresh on your own is that you don’t have many (if any) established expenses. You get to build your lifestyle from the ground up. Essentially, you’re going to build a budget. You’re going to itemize your anticipated expenses and ensure that they are less than your anticipated income. Doing this before you move out on your own is important, since it keeps you from moving into a situation that you can’t financially support. Remember, we’re looking at take home pay here- what’s left after taxes, insurance, retirement savings and anything else is taken out.
A living space is probably going to be the single biggest expense on your budget, so choose wisely! At this point, you’re probably looking at renting. Don’t buy unless if you’re fairly certain you’re not going to have to move in the near future (either relocating or upsizing for a growing family) and you have a significant amount of money for a down-payment. Don’t fret tho- there are a lot of upsides to renting.
Financially, smaller is better. Not only does this mean lower rent, but also lower heating and cooling costs. Consider living in a studio apartment. Check out this post on how comfortable studio life can be!
The numbers here vary so much by location, with a small apartment ranging anywhere from $400-$1800/ month. However, for most of the country, less than $800 will get you something reasonable and cover utilities.
Like it or not, you’re going to have to eat. If you’re not careful and intentional in this area, you’re going to end up going out to eat every day for lunch and every night for supper, which will cost you an arm and a leg. But you don’t have to survive on ramen either.
If you haven’t learned how to cook yet, ask your mom (or dad), or just learn by trial and error. Hopefully you don’t burn down the house. There are tons of recipes out there. A great cooking blog is Budget Bytes. She’s also got pages on kitchen and cooking basics, if you need to check those out. Once you know how to cook, learn to make a meal plan and grocery shop efficiently. Oh, and don’t be afraid to brown bag your lunch. Nothing wrong with PB&J. Or leftovers.
If you stick to these principles, you can keep your grocery bill down to $40/week (if you’re single). Maybe a little less if you’re in the Midwest, maybe a little more if you’re in NYC. This breaks down to $170/month.
You need some way to get from point A to point B. It is possible to live without a car in the right circumstances, which will keep this category way down. If you live in a big city with a great public transportation network, look into a monthly or yearly transit pass. Some cities offer great bargains on these passes! Or if you can live close to your work and a grocery store, you might be able to get by with just walking and biking. The savings will more than cover the occasional Uber ride or car rental (assuming that you keep these occasional).
However, in many circumstances, going car-less is not a viable option. If you’re serious about keeping your costs to a minimum, don’t finance your car. If you don’t have a car yet, hustle and save up $1000 and buy a clunker for the time being.
You will have to maintain your car. And if it’s an older clunker, you will have to spend a little more on maintenance (don’t worry, these costs are offset by low depreciation). Budgeting $100 per month on maintenance is a good place to start. Remember, if you don’t spend that $100 one month, stash it away in a maintenance fund. Next month you might have a $200 or $500 repair.
Your old clunker isn’t going to last forever, so make sure you’re also stashing money in a car savings fund. I’d say $50/month is the bare minimum. This gets you a replacement $1000 clunker every 2 years. And the longer you keep your current car running, the more you can spend on your next car. Otherwise, increase the amount you’re stashing in your savings fund.
If you’re under 25, you’re going to have high car insurance rates- probably in the neighborhood of another $100 per month. If you have the discipline to stash this $100 in a savings account each month, you can usually get a discount by paying every 6 months or a year. Assuming you’re driving an old clunker, just buy the minimum insurance allowed by law. If you total it, just buy a new one with your car savings fund.
So between insurance, replacement, and maintenance, owning a car easily costs $250 per month, if not more. And then throw another $50-$200 per month in gas expenses, depending on how far you have to drive. Now you’re looking at over $450 per month. If you blew off not owning a car earlier, you may want to reconsider. It may even be worth spending a little more on housing to be in a location where you can walk or bike everywhere.
A phone isn’t necessarily a must-have, but for the rock-bottom prices you can get a phone for, they’re worth it for the benefits. However, don’t get suckered into paying $50+ per month for a cell phone plan by the big name carriers. Smaller MVNOs offer the same quality service on the same networks for far less. Check out Total Wireless or Republic Wireless for smart phone plans under $30/month. For more, read out this post on MVNOs.
Internet is a different story. There’s a lot less competition for internet service providers. In some areas you can get good internet service for $20/month. Other places it can cost double that or more. However, depending on your usage, you might be able to get by just using your public library. A lot of libraries are great places to hang out for several hours!
One way or another, you should have health insurance- even if it’s just a ‘catastrophic plan’ with a high deductible. As it stands now, your options are finding a job that provides group coverage, staying on your parent’s health insurance, a healthcare sharing co-op, government subsidized healthcare of some sort, or private health insurance. However, one way or another your health insurance can cost you anywhere from $0-$500+ per month.
A good scenario is to find a job that pays the bulk of your health insurance premium, often leaving you on the hook for $150 or less per month. If your employer doesn’t offer health insurance, you’ll have to shop your other options. As a young adult, however, you have the advantage of being cheaper to insure. If your parents’ health insurance is not an option, you should at least be able to find minimum coverage for less than $300/month. Check out this post for more info on your health insurance options.
With your health insurance, once you’ve nailed down where you’re getting insurance from, the premiums are predictable. However, most insurance requires you to share in your health care costs. This is where budgeting gets tricky. Especially if you’re young and in good health, you probably don’t anticipate being hospitalized or having any other serious incidents. But surprises happen. You might pick up a particular nasty strain of the flu, or end up in a bad accident. Medical emergencies are unpredictable, so you might as well plan for them.
H ow you budget and how much you budget for health costs varies from person to person and depends on your health insurance coverage. If you have a low deductible and out-of-pocket max, you can get by with budgeting a lot less. Some people like to budget for the worst case scenario, and stash up to their out-of-pocket max in an emergency fund or HSA (taken directly out of your paycheck). Others are comfortable just maintaining a $1000 emergency fund.
My advice is to save as much as possible (there’s a reason I saved this section for last), but at least $100/month. You’ll never regret over-planning. You might regret under-planning. and if you’re eligible for an HSA, MAX IT OUT! It’s one of the best tax shelters available (it even beats Caribbean bank accounts). Although you can only use that money for medical expenses, you are allowed to invest it and it carries forward year after year. If nothing else, you can use it on nursing home care when you’re 90.
There are a lot of assumptions built in. The above includes vehicle expenses, which, depending on your situation, may not actually be a necessary expense as discussed earlier. Again, eliminating these reduces your necessary expenses by quite a bit! You also could cut your individual housing expenses significantly by picking up a room-mate (or a spouse).
Our budget also assumes that your health insurance and health savings (potentially another several hundred) is taken directly out of your paycheck.
It also doesn’t include retirement savings, which although important, is not a basic necessity. Also, the easiest way to save for retirement is often to have it deducted from your paycheck into an employer sponsored 401k. This way, you wouldn’t have to budget for it from your take-home pay.
Finally, our budget doesn’t include anything allotted for ‘fun, miscellaneous, and discretionary’ expenses. While you don’t have to budget a lot here, it is important to budget something here. Not only will you suffer from ‘budget burnout’ if you don’t budget for fun, you will also have occasional necessary expenses (such as clothing) that come from here.
Remember, your budget isn’t going to look exactly like this one. Yours may end up being a little lower, or may have to be a little higher. But hopefully you can use this budget as a guideline. Tweak it to meet your circumstances and priorities.
Even Australia the minimum required to live on your own depends so much on location.
Where I live, rent for a one bed room apartment near the train line is $$2200-$2500 per month! In a smaller city such as Wollongong, you could easily be paying half that amount for a 2 bedroom apartment. In addition, groceries and eating out would be 20-30% cheaper.
WOW!! I can’t imagine! All our living expenses combined for a family of 5 is less than that!
You could also get roommates to reduce the rent. For example, I know cases where three people share a one bedroom apartment (2 in the bedroom and 1 in the living room) or two people share a studio to cut costs.
If you want to live comfortably alone in a one bedroom, it IS going to be expensive. But there is ALWAYS a way to cut costs if you’re willing to do so.
You’re absolutely right- roommates can save a huge chunk- especially if you’ve got two to a studio!
Just making a comment (outside of housing, I only spend about $700 a month).
You’re absolutely right, Erik, It’s not hard at all to spend 2k (and more) a month, without even going terribly overboard.
Yup, this sounds about right. It depends where you live, of course. I live in Texas, which has super-affordable costs of living (in most areas). I got a $600/mo apartment right out of school with no roommates. I made $15/hour and had a $450/mo car payment. My employer paid a portion of healthcare costs, so that was good. But I wasn’t financially prepared to pay back my loans at the time–that’s for sure. Fortunately I increased my income substantially, and I was able to survive while socking money away. Y’all: have AS FEW BILLS AS POSSIBLE right after school, because you don’t know how life will actually be.
You’re right, Picky Pincher, it’s best to start as small as possible and then figure out what you can afford.
Great post Dan! I really like how you break it down into different categories with a reasonable estimate of the number, it makes it really easy to follow.
It’s actually pretty expensive to live on your own, I’ve always thought it would be a lot cheaper. And this is not even inclusive of all the additional amounts you would spend on relaxing, eating out or buying essential items. Mind blowing for me.
Thanks! You’re right- alot of people are caught off guard by all the expenses.
Thanks alot, MSM! You’re right- independence can be overwhelming!
Good post. I think it’s important to remember student debt as another factor to budget for. When I graduated mine was about $420 a month. I found a super cheap apartment with roommate to make up the difference, but yeah. Many in your target audience for this post are gonna have student debt. And lowering the monthly payment by expanding duration of the loan is not the best option to deal with it, but it is what a lot of people opt to do. They would benefit more by budgeting their other expenses as you outlined.

While, with partiality , they still oppress the weak.
Why don't we pie them down until they rot in hell?
For blatant injustice and abuse of power.
Is the most loathesome stench that one can ever smell.
May shame fall on them for their negationism!
To the vulnerable and leave them in the raw.
Let's throw shaving-foam pies at them, and turd-tarts too.
That is all they deserve, and that's what we will do.

Scott Vernon says he has enjoyed his first week of pre-season training as he quickly settles into his new surroundings as a Shrewsbury Town player.
The former Aberdeen striker is getting to know his team mates as Town prepare for a new League 2 season which will kick off at AFC Wimbledon on August 9.
Scott said: "It's really enjoyable. It's been a good week's training and the lads seem hungry. They've all come in in good shape and the manager's getting his philosophy into us early which is good."
Even at the age of 30, Scott admitted there were a few nerves ahead of coming in for the first day of pre-season after four years at Aberdeen, but he said everyone has been very welcoming.
"There's always that little bit of anxiety but you meet the lads on the first day and they're all a good bunch.
"Everyone seems to be getting on really well. It will take a little while longer to get to know everyone but there doesn't seem to be any bad eggs in the changing room which is obviously a good thing going forward and hopefully when the season starts we'll know each other a lot better."
Scott has welcomed the arrival of another striker at the club with former Tranmere man Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro coming in to join him and James Collins as attacking options for manager Micky Mellon.
He said: "It's always good to have somebody knocking on the door when you get the shirt and putting you under pressure. That's never a bad thing.
"There might be a time when we all play and there might be a time when one of us play or two of us. It's all good competition.
"I remember Jean from coming down to Colchester when I was there. He's a good acquisition and he'll be good for us."

Q: In your opinion should an employer challenge a dismissed employee’s claim for unemployment?
A: I cannot speak from a traditional human resource or legal perspective, but I can speak from a sales manager’s point of view. I have and would challenge a claim filed by a dismissed employee if that employee was terminated with cause. Sales people in particular can and should be held to a very specific performance standard. Whether you call it a set of goals, a quota, or a position agenda, the sales person must perform. When they do not, they become a burden on their entire company. Sales people in general are also relatively easy to track from a performance standpoint. Numbers are black & white and do not lie. If the time comes when an underperforming sales person is terminated, it should be considered with cause, and there should be documented performance evidence to support the case for termination. If that sales person who was terminated with cause, after being warned, on probation or on a Performance Improvement Plan runs out and immediately files for unemployment, then I will challenge. They key is with cause and I must take a protective position for my company especially when our unemployment premiums are subject to an increase because of this former employees filing.
Q: Do you believe an employee can make it through a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) and become an active member of their sales organization?
A: Absolutely, I do. I recently answered a question about a ‘B’ sales person becoming an ‘A’ player. They can make the transition if they have the will and desire to become a top performer. The same can be said for a sales person placed on a PIP. If they have what it takes, the determination to learn from their mistakes, learn from those that have gone before them, and learn from their peers, then yes they can get through the PIP and become a key member of their organization.
Employees, sales or otherwise, who have been placed on a PIP more times than not believe they are being singled out and set up for failure or ultimately dismissal. That is not the goal of a Performance Improvement Plan. C’mon, why do you think it’s called an Improvement Plan…we want the employee to improve. We, the managers, are laying out the plans for the employee to improve. The employee needs to step up and make it happen. The other thing I wish employees could grasp as a concept – it costs an employer more to recruit, interview, hire and train a new sales person than it does to retain one. If the employee can step up their game, learn from the PIP, and ultimately become a contributing member of their team, they have become valuable to their employer. Unfortunately, many employees only see the PIP as a step to their firing. They are misguided and fail because they don’t believe the employer has the best intent behind the PIP.
Employees on a PIP need to put their trust in the PIP, improve as it is defined, and then become a better employee. Everyone wins in this situation.
Q: You regularly share insights on your personal and business life. You, like everyone these days, seem to be extremely busy. What is your best tip for time management?
A: This one is easy for me, I calendar every detail of my life, and these details are available for everyone around me to see. I use my Outlook calendar to log all of my activities from doctor’s appointments to parent-teach meetings to my kid’s games and my client meetings. I rarely mark anything private because those that have access to my calendar should be able to use good judgement when requesting time from me. I log my weekend activities no different than my mandatory management meetings. Wherever I go I have my iPhone with me and my calendar sync’d. Last thing…I also make sure to log some personal time for reading or exercising. I find that this habit has allowed me to not only know when and where I need to be, but allows me to budget my time in a way that allows me to say yes much more than I say no.
Q: Maybe not an all-time favorite, but who is one author that you truly enjoy reading either personally or professionally, and why?
A: I am a big fan of Matthew Kelly from Floyd Consulting and Dynamic Catholic. I enjoy reading Kelly for both personal and professional reasons. On the Dynamic Catholic front I find his writing hits me pretty close to home. We are close in age, and although Kelly grew up in Australia before moving to the US, there are similarities to being raised in a Catholic family in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s. He writes from experience and from his heart. His beliefs mirror many of my own and he bares his soul in his writings. He does not preach, instead choosing to pose many questions that push me to think beyond my own comfort zone. From the Floyd Consulting perspective I find again his approach is personal. He takes more of a teaching stance than that of a traditional consultant. His writing style, much like his Dynamic Catholic books, forces me to think outside of my comfort zone. Kelly has traveled the world, talked and presented to more than a million people, and has written dozens of books, yet I find his approach is more like a friend that I’ve known for a long time even though we’ve never met.

The gameplay is incredibly enjoyable as you will quickly find out the game uses mechanics from many 90's platformers including Super Mario Bros., Sonic The Hedgehog, Alex Kidd, and Kirby. The overall mixture is perfect with Mario-like physics, Alex Kidd-style item collecting, and blatant enemies and bosses ripped straight from Kirby and Sonic games! In-fact the first boss is for all intents and purposes Whispy Woods from the Kirby titles!
The game has you collect items, defeat all enemies, speed-run, etc. as goals, if you complete all goals in every level something special will occur! The stages themselves, despite being heavily influenced in-terms of their themes are quite clever in design and still feel completely unique which is not only a good thing, but is highly surprising considering the amount of outside influence this game possesses.
Another thing worth mentioning is that the developer has announced that there will be fifteen new stages added as dlc in the near future which will add even more content to this superb title! The update will fix several bugs as well, though we didn't experience any during our playthrough of the game.
The controls are silky smooth and very easy to learn, while the game's level of difficulty starts off easy, but becomes fairly challenging later in the game.
Visually the game looks great, but you won't be blown away by the graphics. The character model and enemy sprites are quite detailed and look nice and the game's soundtrack is catchy and enjoyable. You'll definitely be humming some of the tunes after playing the game! Overall on the audio-visual side of things you may not be wowed, but you will definitely enjoy it nonetheless!
With great gameplay, flawless controls, and a solid audio-visual presentation, Bloo Kid 2 is a superb game that any fan of the platforming genre should highly enjoy, however we do have to dock some points due to the lack of originality, however we still highly recommend this game to all 3DS owners!
It's time to take on Wyspy Wuds!
The copyrights that this game has broken lol.
I sense a pending lawsuit.
Looks good, but I agree that it's pushing the limits as to what is allowed through copyright laws.

My actual complaint is toward the Machiavellites who have used Niccolo’s views as cherry-picked justification for doing damage in service of self-promotion. A reliable philosopher-friend tells me that M. used irony far more than flattery, and that he wrote for the ages not for the day.
The term, “Machiavellian,” however is an excellent example of how some words have all the depth flattened out of them in general usage. If one ever says something is “Machiavellian,” then one is obliged to support that with an extended demonstration of how so. Seldom is that the case.


text: In some cases, it will take quite a while for your package to arrive. Plan for 5-6 weeks from departure to arrival, or longer, depending on the destination country. When your items ship, Anubeion will inform you of the USPS International tracking code, via email. Please note that once it arrives in the destination country, this changes and since Anubeion is not informed of the destination country tracking code, it is difficult if not impossible on this end to give updated arrival time by those means. Anubeion therefore advises International customers to check with their country’s postal mail service and/or Customs/Border agency.

Hey Coffeeholics! Let's make this year the best year ever by being involved in something bigger .. something better! Last 2013 proved to be a very challenging year for the Philippines. But through the difficulties and calamities, we showed extreme resilience and strength, which was witnessed and admired by the world over. As we face 2014, Krem-Top wishes to encourage every Filipino to create greater and more postive changes in their lives. Together, let us all strive for a better Pilipinas.
How can we make a change? It can be big or small. It can start right here at your own home, school, or in a far away place. I mean who doesn't want a better country right? We can start making a change through small things like proper waste disposal. Honestly I find it so irritating when I see people just throw trash out the window while commuting. Its these kinds of waste which causes clutter and stoppage in our drainage and flooding in our streets. I'm making it a resolve to throw my waste/.trash properly. Its a small thing to do but if it can help make a better Pinas why not diba?
To reach my quota sales!
I want to be fit by working out and following a healthy diet.
Yay thanks everyone for joining! Looks like you all got some awesome goals sa 2014. Maraming may goal na lose weight.. amen! haha. Meron din gain weight! Wow good for you. And meron naman talagang nakakainspire na goal. Share nyo yan! Push nyo yan! hehe. Hope you all achieve your goals this 2014!

Count down to Christmas with a handmade advent calendar you and the kids can create. Using ornaments, baby socks, and photos, these charming, treat-a-day ideas make the holiday season even more merry.
Bring the element of surprise on Christmas morning into everyday—for 24 days straight! We stenciled 24 numbers onto this canvas shoe organizer, and filled each compartment with gifts galore.
Our simplest Advent calendar to date, this is a minimalist take on the holiday tradition.
Whether you're lighting up eight nights or counting down 24 days, half the fun of the holidays is the anticipation. Extend the excitement with a twinkling treeline full of hidden presents.
where is that elf hiding this year? Your Christmas tree! Decorate it as a larger-than-life advent calendar with numbered ornaments. And every morning, the elf moves to a new numbered ornament (and a day closer to December 25) only to be found in a fun new set of shenanigans.
Make a photo-chain Advent calendar for faraway friends and family that also serves as a picture-perfect keepsake. Slide pictures of the kids into postcard holders and hide them with numbered cards.
We clipped red-and-white striped gift bags onto a cord to make this Advent chain. The gifts in these bags don't have to be substantial -- little trinkets do the trick too.
Hang this calendar vertically with gift 24 at the top. Snip one from the bottom each day.
For a twist on a classic Advent calendar, think inside the box. Use vinyl number stickers, from 1 to 24, to label lids of colorful gift and jewelry boxes culled from Christmases past. Fill each box with a toy or treat and hang with removable poster putty.
Add a festive sparkle to the refrigerator with a glittery magnetic calendar you can reuse every Christmas. Let kids arrange the treat-filled tins on your refrigerator in tree shape. Remember, no peeking!
This hanging Advent calendar assembled from a mix of stray or new baby socks and a ribbon is full of great things, and it's the perfect way to mark the season for a baby or an older child. Stuff each mini stocking with an age-appropriate toy.
This Advent calendar starts as a miniature chest of 24 drawers. As its drawers are removed and reversed, a picture is revealed.
Remove matches from 24 matchboxes; glue boxes in three stacks of eight. Glue stacks together to make the chest, then cut a strip of paper to wrap around the sides of the chest; glue it in place. With acrylic paint, number the front of each drawer. Turn the chest around; paint a tree or other design on the back. Remove drawers and glue a ribbon tab on the underside of each drawer on the numbered end. From construction paper, cut a square backing for the chest to keep drawers in place and hide the image; attach it at the edges with glue. Fill drawers with small treats and notes, and slip them back into the chest.
Send friends and family seasons greetings with a handmade Advent calendar made from our house template, old greeting cards, and card stock. Each December day before Christmas, they open a window, and on Christmas Day, they open the front door.
Kids undecorate this tree! The ornaments are gifts in ribbon pouches, one to open each day starting December 1.
To make ornaments, cut wide grosgrain or satin ribbon into 8- or 10-inch lengths. Fold in half. Sew up the sides on a machine; trim the tops with pinking shears. Slip candy or small toys inside. Mark the dates on tags with a marker or rubber stamp; thread cord through tags, and tie on bags to close. Hang bags or tuck safely between branches.
These mini stockings are just large enough to hold a small gift or sweet for each of the 24 days of Advent. If your tree is too small to hold 24 stockings, hang the rest from a ribbon.

sets a custom error handler to catch notices and such and transform them to exceptions. If your PHP contains syntax errors for example, a PHP error will be triggered. This is not an exception as such, but this plugin transforms it into an exception. This exception can then be properly handled.
The point of the whole thing is to make sure you generate well formed requests even if your service PHP code is bad.

I am starting an event coordinating business an llc. The first event I've been hired to plan is a charity event, my question is: What is the appropriate way to go about accepting donations to the Charity or the sponsorship of the event? Do I need seperate tax codes to allow donors and sponsors to write off their contributions?
Okay great, thanks. Now how about if they are sponsoring the event itself? Is that tax deductible under the same EIN or tax ID number?
There are a couple options. If the charity has a donation link on their website, you can set up a laptop for attendees to donate directly. If you are collecting donations, you will want to have the charity's EIN number. Another item to consider, is what is type of charity is it, e.g. a 501(c)3 or 501(g)e etc.
Geniuses of setting up business in UAE?
Is the branch office a separate legal entity?
What are the things one should recall while building up a business in UAE?
Would I have the capacity to incorporate a similar number of related business practices on my license as I require?

It’s the beginning of a new school year! Schools may be planning several field trips this year. Students are always excited to venture beyond the classroom, whether it’s to the zoo, aquarium, or science museum.
As educators and parents, we know how valuable hands-on learning that takes place on a field trip is. We also know that the logistics can be overwhelming – distributing information, collecting permission slips and fees, and securing chaperones.
The extra work involved in copying, collating, and sending home paper permission slips - and then collecting them all - can detract from the fun of the trip. And, the sheer amount of paper used is costly for the district and the environment.
Field trips are vital to a child’s education. They are thought out and planned with care to give students an experience that enhances their education. It’s not just a “day off” from school, it gives them an opportunity to get hands-on experience that correlates with their classroom learning.
Every child needs to be able to attend and receive the same opportunity as their peers. Digital permission slips help ensure every child gets to participate since there are no lost or forgotten forms.
Not only are parents more likely to respond quickly to an electronic request, but teachers can send reminders if the permission slips have not been returned on time. They can also easily collect any fees associated with the trip; paper forms, cash, or checks won’t get lost or stolen between home and school. The school only needs to create one digital permission slip, to be used repeatedly, so there’s no need for a new document to be created each time.
Digital field trip permission slips allow parents to fill out the form in just a few minutes on their computer, smartphone, or tablet and return it. Once parents sign the permission slip, sending a confirmation regarding the permission and payment is easy.
In addition to the ease of digital field trip permission slips, schools save money and resources by using an online platform. The costs associated with the paper, copier contracts, copier maintenance, ink and toner, personnel, and time to make the copies, on average adds up to $250,000 per year, for a K-12 school. Using digital school forms reduces that expense significantly. That’s money that can be put to better use in the school budget for purposes that directly impact the students’ education.
Schools administrators appreciate having all paperwork located in one, secure platform. Checking to see if the permission slips have been returned if a parent or guardian calls with questions is a matter of a few clicks. This is especially helpful if one parent has signed a permission slip and the other was unaware, which may happen when there are multiple households involved in the student’s life.
With ZippSlip, you can focus on creating a fun and educational experience for students rather than spending time chasing paperwork. Sending permission slips and receiving completed permissions takes mere minutes and everything is stored in a secure location in the Cloud. In addition, communication with parents about updates and reminders is a breeze.
ZippSlip offers a quick demo to learn more about how our intuitive platform can help your school eliminate paper forms and streamline the permission slip process. Our school communication suite of tools is easy to set up and includes multilingual capabilities to meet the needs of all parents. Within a week, you can join over a million people across the United States and Europe that are using ZippSlip to save time and money using online forms and messaging. Contact us to learn more.

Does my cut look infected? (picture)?
No sign of infection. Everything looks good. Whatever you're doing to take care of it, keep doing the same thing.
It looks great. I've injured myself quite a few times. Looks like its healing perfectly. Leaving it uncovered will probably heal it quicker. Put some ointment on it.
As long as there is no discharge, you should be all set. It doesn't look red or puffy, which is a good sign. Keep a clean bandage on and try putting some neosporin/antibiotic ointment on it. Try to stay away from submerging it in any body of water, to stay away from infection. It looks like it's healing well, just give it a few days!
WHY CANT I HEAR ANYTHING ON MY COMPUTER? What-are-the-best-medicare-supplement-plans? I get a stinging pain on my veins on my wrist, it will come for about 15-20 seconds then leave then return? Anyone know what it could be? Angry and scared, alone and alienated, insignificant and ignored, hate-filled an impotent - is this the life of the modern liberal? I think I broke a finger, how can I be sure? If it is broken, do I have to see a doctor?

text: Thousands of public sector workers take to the streets of Athens over redundancies. Government spending cuts have devastated the Greek economy as it strives to meet conditions imposed by international lenders. Further injections of cash were suspended in June as the spiralling recession threw reforms off course. But Greece has finally fulfilled its side of the bargain and now its the turn of euro zone finance ministers. They're expected to approve up to 44 billion euro of loans. But Rabobank's Jan Lambregts doesn't think the Brussels meeting will bring much cheer. (SOUNDBITE) (English) RABOBANK'S JAN LAMBREGTS, SAYING: "It will definitely not leave Greece with a sustainable debt outlook, Greece's debt is set to hit between 160-170 percent in the near term. That's far too high. They're never going to reach that 120 percent in 2020 - if 120 percent was even an achievable figure to begin with ever." And there are still many obstacles. The IMF and the euro zone can't agree on Greece's debt reduction targets - a two year extension to 2022 has been dismissed by the Fund. And Germany and the ECB oppose writing off some of the debts - something the IMF favours. Options left include halving the interest on existing bilateral loans Lengthening maturities and lowering fees on those loans and a debt buy-back. Germany believes Greece should buy half the 60 billion euro of bonds privately held at just a quarter of their value. IG's Brenda Kelly says a clash amongst lenders could spell trouble. (SOUNDBITE) (English) MARKET ANALYST AT IG, BRENDA KELLY, SAYING: "I think when you have a bit of a spat between the members of the troika that does cause problems. But what it does do is set a precedent for other countries, so for example those who are looking for a deal on their bank debt, for example Ireland. This could set the scene for them and enable them to make some sort of deal." The euro zone's proposals will be sent to national parliaments for approval at the end of the month. And Greece should get an early Christmas present at the beginning of December.
