Those links you might see about University of Phoenix, UoP or Axia was my college last year. I do indeed get paid when they show up or people click on them, please do not click on them unless you want to know more about it. Google is very clear on this and I am in good standing with them! Google ads is a way for me to make a little money on topics like stopping smoking and I do not get to choose who advertises, but rather who cannot.
It is ironic that I am saying the University of Phoenix is lackluster when compared to Franklin and I get paid. I do not actually know what ad people click on when I get paid, but rather how many times it got clicked or was viewed (some advertisers pay just for a showing of the ad). If they want to advertise on my site, I will let them… they certainly do not get a regarded review.
I am fortunate enough to enjoy learning. I should rephrase that as: “I am fortunate enough to crave learning in order to help others.”
Being in higher education has, in my opinion, shown that there really is a need for all this debt that students rack up. I chose to post something to my blog and share it with the class to show part of my Idealist life. I leave all of my posts open to comments and choose to moderate them due to spam alone. I have deleted a couple comments these two years, not due to them disagreeing with me but due to the comment being inappropriate.
For my choice of further resources I could use to improve my grammar, I chose http://www.dailygrammar.com/archive.shtml . I found that out of all the choices, it would prove the most useful since I could easily use it with an iPhone app called gFlash+ . The best thing is that you do not need an Internet connection to use it, so you can be in the middle of nowhere (aka 2 miles out of town in WV) and take a quiz where you will not accidently see the answers. The simple format of questions and answers could be easily manipulated into the template spreadsheet using the programming language Python.
I have used gFlash+ while standing in line at the store, waiting for a customer to finish talking on the phone or while waiting for someone to give my car a jumpstart. So far, I have just used it as a quiz tool for learning new words but dailygrammar has such a common format for answers that I can program a macro to split and copy/paste entire blocks of answers.
I intend to do such a program and enlist my wife to help me, since she is starting school soon too.
Thank you EA, Will Wright and all of you that have made me go through hell watching the counter tick down. I went through it without illegally downloading your game but you all could have hit:
Thanks for buying the game, we are releasing the key early for you.
Spore should be the best game ever and the worst torture that has ever been invented. I guess the CIA made EA do it because most of us are on the watchlist. This is worse than waterboarding or watching Full House.
