When I was in college, I never really attended events on campus. 

I thought they were lame, and who really attended school-sponsored events, anyway?

Now, I realized I messed up. 

Those events weren't actually school-sponsored. They were me-sponsored.

I paid for those events with my tuition, and I'm probably still paying for them in my student loan payments.

It might not be immediately obvious from your tuition and housing bills, but... Читать дальше...

BALTIMORE (AP) — The family of a murdered teenager is grieving again after her accused killer, whose case has become a cause celebre thanks to a wildly popular podcast, was granted a new trial.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — General Mills is expanding its recall of certain types of flour in response to an ongoing outbreak of illnesses related to a strain of E. coli bacteria.

The Minneapolis-based company on June 1 voluntarily recalled 10 million pounds of its Gold Medal, Signature Kitchens and Wondra flour that federal health officials say was the likely source of dozens of illnesses in 20 states. The company said in a statement that the expanded recall was due to a newly reported illness that appears to come from consuming raw dough or batter linked to the flour produced last fall.

According to Mr. Porter, as reported by PEOPLE, Skarsgard consumed 7,000 calories per day during the eight weeks of preparation leading up to the shoot as well as the four months of filming.

I don't dive, but I like dive watches. 

I like them because they're aren't fussy — good ones are well made, can be gotten plenty wet, can be worn with lots of different styles of clothes (everything but the most dressy ensembles), and yes, can be taken swimming without worry.

The best dive watches cost lots, and the most famous, the Rolex Submariner, is an iconic timepiece that will set you back $8,000. It will probably always be worth at least $8,000, and likely more, but still — expensive. Читать дальше...
