Post-it-ing a car, now it is only good if you put this much time and effort into it. At least make it pretty, this will make it impossible for the other person to get mad.

Remember pranks can and do go very wrong, so be cautious when attempting to brighten up somebody’s day with a silly trick.

College Tuition Taxes?

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Pittsburg’s City Council will vote today as whether or not to put a 1% tax on college tuition. If passed, it would be the first tax placed on tuition in the nation. The majority of colleges in Pittsburg—and students alike— have raised serious aversion towards the possibility of such a tax. The $16 million tax would fund the city’s pensions and, thus, is deemed as a necessary tax according to Mayor Luke Ravenstahl. The mayor stated that, “It’s really a disappointment that we’re in this situation…our colleges and universities are giving less and less while they increase tuition and executive pay and expand their campuses, removing high value land from the tax rolls. The cost to provide public safety and public works services continues to increase, but our revenue continues to decrease.”

If passed, the tax would go into effect starting as early as July and the city’s cheaper schools would charge students $20 a year, while the more elite universities would charge nearly $400 a year! Many students are outraged at this possibility of a tax increase, stating that “holding students hostage in negotiations with non-profits to come up with money to pay for bloated city pension plans is divisive.”

Furthermore, college is thoroughly expensive as it is. Students have enough scholastic obligations without having to worry about  their increasing debt, as well. So stay informed! If you’re a student and your state proposes such a tax, don’t be the last to fight it!

The UT probe update

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

The controversy of University of Tennessee coach Lane Kiffie’s recruiting tactics have been swirling around for sometime. Now however the controversy seems to be reaching a breaking point. Apparently New allegations are surfacing about what the UT coach might have said to  potential recruits.

This is the second time in less than a year that UT’s coach has been in the NCAA’s line of fire and both times it was over the same thing. The first time Ut was accused of sending personal who are not allowed to recruit to high school games to scout players. According to Kiffie, the accusations had no backing to them. Now though they are looking more and more real as the same issue resurfaces again.

Also, Kiffie won’t be getting off completely clean. The NCAA have already linked him to 6 other minor violations that the probe proved he was involved in. So for right now, UT’s coach better step lightly for now on if he doesn’t want the NCAA hammer coming down on him.

Contemporary College Life

Monday, December 7th, 2009

College is a challenging time because it is a time when you have a lot of work to do, but you also have great opportunity to get involved in many other things and have fun. Why not try making homework time a little more exciting by brightening up the experience with funner versions of things that you need? These are all pretty sweet, I love fun colorful stuff!

Okay, so check out this little guy. He is such a cool alarm clock, but you may not be able to handle his tricky tactics and shenanigans in the early morning. If you press snooze or let the time run out, the wheels on him will take him away to hide somewhere while making an irritating noise until you find him to turn it off. For some, this would be the perfect match to wake them up in the morning. For others, well, he could become a danger to the unfortunate passerby that gets ‘clocked’ because this little guy was chucked out of the window in a fit of aggravation. What will he do for you??

Bacon shoes. Come on lovers of eating meat, take pride in your digestive choices. Display them proudly. On the flip-side, those who oppose meat eating should promote wearing these prints instead of eating the real thing. These shoes are capable of doing many great things, what will you make happen?

Whoahoho, this is cool. If having a traditional glass vase waiting around to be filled too old fashioned and space-consuming for your taste, this is the best alternative. Well, it is not an alternative because it technically is a vase, just very far from the original materials and look of a vase. While you are waiting for that perfect someone to give you some flowers, make this rubber vase a pencil holder, or something along those lines. Or it can just be in that permanent state for guys, because this is a great accent to a room. Or you can transition it and put flowers for bonus points when the parents, Grandma, or others visit.

This is only one of infinite ways that this clock could look. Why? These individual blocks are just that: Individual. Arrange the blocks however you wish, and everything can be easily applied to your wall with the included adhesive strips. It only requires on AA battery, but you need to buy that in addition to the clock. Cool and customizable!!
