But you know Murphy's Law, whatever can go wrong will go wrong. When I fetched him to his coaching session last Thursday, I received the bombshell from the coach that the school badminton team is likely to be scrapped next year due to budget constraints. The badminton CCA would still exist but there would be no coach, which to me was just plain silly. What, the kids would just meet up weekly and randomly whack at shuttlecocks?
Since there might be kids reading this, I'll resort to visual swearing - #$!%@!!%#^@!!! That's truly how I felt when I heard the news. It just throws a spanner in the works. You may wonder why since it's only a CCA, right? Well, since Andre is enjoying badminton so much and playing the game reasonably well, we had hoped the school might be able to train him up to a respectable level where he can play in competitions and eventually use it for DSA.
For those who don't know what DSA is, it's Direct School Admission - a scheme that some secondary schools offer to p6 students. That means the secondary school would conduct selection tests and offer direct admission to students before the PSLE results are out. The criteria can be academic or non-academic, depending on the individual school and its needs.
Of course ideally, we hope Andre will be able to get into a secondary school of his choice without relying on a CCA, but no harm preparing for Plan B, right? I admit it sounds a little kia-su since Andre is only in p2, but it's not like we had mapped a path for him right from the start. It was only since his interest in badminton emerged that we thought we might as well nurture it to serve a double purpose.
When I broke the news to Andre that there would be no school team next year, he was so disappointed. He looked like he was about to cry and shouted, "But I've been trying so hard!"
So now, we're at a crossroads. The coach, who is from one of the major badminton academies in Singapore, recommends that we continue coaching sessions at the academy from next year if Andre is serious about the game. Kenneth and I are two minds about it.
- At the academy, it's serious training. The coaches are past winners from professional tournaments like the Thomas Cup. No kidding. Andre's game will definitely improve exponentially.
- The academy holds their own competitions so he can still participate, experience playing in matches and hone his skills.
- For DSA sports, the secondary schools usually hold their own trials and look at individual records, so if Andre does well at the academy, it will carry weight.
- School budgets change every year, so for all we know, the school team might be reinstated the following year, giving Andre a second chance to be selected.
- Less tangible benefit but equally important - we feel that kids who are actively involved in a sport tend to befriend those with the same interest, and their activities and conversations are likely to centre around this common interest. Especially in the teenage years when kids are the most impressionable (especially boys, in my opinion), I think it helps to keep them on the straight and narrow path. This view was reinforced by the coach who has groomed cohorts of kids in the sport.
- The time commitment is tremendous. According to the coach, we're talking 2-3 two-hour sessions of training a week, in order for skills to reach a certain level of proficiency. Especially with Andre's school workload set to rise at the higher primary levels, we're not sure if he can cope with the extra demands without compromising his academic standards.
- Even if he can cope, there's no guarantee he will ever reach a level good enough for DSA, in which case, is it worth investing all the time and effort for something that will just be a hobby?
- Not just time commitment from Andre, it's time commitment from me too! Guess who'll be the one who has to shuttle him to and fro training sessions? It's sometimes already a massive juggling act trying to fit my meetings and work in between ferrying kids, especially during peak periods like annual report season.

Jimmy Francoline was finished with baseball. It was 1943, time to make a living, settle down, raise his three children.
Then the phone rang. The best manager he had ever played for needed him. What could he say?
"Del Bissonette called, and he told me, the station wagons they were coming up in, there was an accident ... and they needed a center fielder that night," Francoline remembers. "I had no spring training. ... I tried to retire four times, but they kept calling me back."

The Picture Of Beauty
I met Kim via the internet, along with several other ladies I hold dear to my heart. They are all special, but I think they would all agree that there is something about Kim that makes her extra special.
It's not just that she is a breast cancer survivor, although that is part of it I'm sure. I had the privilege of finally meeting her face to face this summer. What an experience. She has a presence that at once leaves you in awe of her and makes you feel like you've sat talking to her a million times before.
She exudes strength and confidence even when you know she's probably crying on the inside. In the face of cancer she has remained full of life.
When my life seems hard to handle and I feel like I'm just so weighed down I think of her. I remember how strong she is and how she faces everything head on knowing that somehow she will make it through. I let her inspire me.
I can truly say my life has been improved through knowing her.

Taking a break from my intense mommy-style navel gazing, I wanna do some runner-style navel gazing. It's highly unlikely I'm EVER going to attempt this crap again in my life, so I want to say some of this out loud so I'll be sure to remember.
I thought running was easier in general since Grace was born because my mental game improved. I mean, when you go day after day with no sleep to speak of, and have no choice but to drag your sorry ass out of bed anyway, it sort of toughens you up a little. I needed some toughening up, so it just made sense. I saw a story on the news the other day, though, talking about actual physiologic changes that typically improve running after pregnancy. I knew that getting started again right at six weeks would help me take advantage of the polycythemia left over from pregnancy (basically I still had extra red blood cells hanging out to feed delicious oxygen to my body), but they said it goes beyond that. I can't remember what factors there are, specifically, because I am tired and unspeakably stupid these days. But anyway. I guess choosing to do this right after G's birth was not entirely crazy, and maybe even wise. Yes. I knew I was being wise. It was entirely on purpose.
Last weekend was a twelve mile run, and this weekend is thirteen. After that, we're moving into distances I've never run before.
I'm skurred.
Ten miles felt great a few weeks ago. Really, really good. I even sped up the last two miles, pretty significantly. Twelve miles last weekend felt like hell on toast. I limped into my parents' house (they babysit G while I go on the extra-long runs) so pathetically, my mom said, "And you think you're going to run twenty six?" Then I came home and napped during G's afternoon nap, which was so ridiculously short I woke up disoriented, caked in drool, and feeling positively ill. As I ran up the stairs to get Grace (using the word "run" awfully loosely here...), I thought, not for the first time, that this was probably the stupidest idea I've ever had.
In other words, I'm having reeeally mixed feelings about this decision. I know that, if I'm successful, it will all be worth it on October 11th (and really, forever, because this is mostly about showing myself I can do it. and bragging rights. but really, truly, mostly about showing myself I can do it.), but sometimes I feel like I need to THINK before I sign up for these things.

As the playoffs draw closer, the fight for a flattering spot in the standings of VTB League intensifies. For the moment, Unics still enjoys the first place.
Ken Brown (VEF)
Speaking of surprises, VEF was one of them this weekend, as 28-year-old Brown perfectly executed Khimki on the road. The American guard added 22 points, five rebounds and three assists, as the Latvian team moved up to a 4-10 record, tying with Astana, Kalev and Tsmoki-Minsk! Which team will survive the battle? We only have to wait and see. Until then, enjoy some of Brown's highlights:
Unics wins seventh straight game
Unics almost choked against Kalev, yet Jamar Smith and Stephane Lasme stepped up just in time for the Russian side. Smith led the winning side with 15 points, while Lasme recorded a double-double of 10 points and 11 rebounds. The top-spot holders have now a 7-game winning streak, with high hopes for this season.
Astana shock for Zenit
The most surprising result of this past weekend was, of course, Zenit's loss in Kazakhstan against Astana. The Russian side helped their opponents stay in the playoffs picture – at least with the current results. The Kazakh team didn't let its 3-10 record take a toll, as big man Ike Udanoh put on his best performance with 21 points, 10 rebounds in just 27 minutes.
Stunning VEF against Khimki
Another upset after Astana's result came in Moscow, as Khimki faced defeat from VEF. The visiting side used a major comeback in the final period to overcome its opponent, with the weekly MVP, Ken Brown, firing 5 out of 6 3-pointers! Giorgos Bartzokas' squad ranks 6th in the current standings (7-7 record), while there's little room left for more defeats.
'Wounded' CSKA Moscow got the job done
Dimitris Itoudis' squad once again lacked Othello Hunter and Kyle Hines, yet Nando De Colo came in, pushing CSKA to the victory. 32 points in the first period, along with 25 assists overall (compared to Tsmoki's 11), were enough for the Army Team to seal off one more victory.
All-Star Weekend incoming!
Save the date, February 17! Before the All-Star Game between Russian and World Stars occurs, there will be plenty of festivities, including the Slam Dunk Contest. In regards to that, Frank Elegar will replace Zenit's Drew Gordon, who was originally expected to participate, as he's still recovering from a recent injury.

Love Story, Part the Fifth
Part the Second
Part the Third
Part the Fourth
Now that we were engaged...
...we needed to settle on a wedding date. We had over a year to go before graduation, and neither of us wanted to wait that long. Plus it seemed to us that it would be so many changes, all at once, if we waited till after graduation to get married. What about getting married in December? we wondered. After our wedding, we'd still have our friends around, a familiar environment and schedule, and less stress than we'd have once we both started our first jobs.
Our parents agreed with our logic, and a December 20 date was set. That was the Saturday right after finals week, and it was a perfect semester for me, since I was student-teaching and would have no finals: I could leave school a week early, in fact. Papa Rooster and some of our wedding party might have to take a Friday final and then hit the road for Ohio--about 6 hours away--to barely make it in time for the rehearsal, but it would all work out. (And it did. That semester, the last finals were on Thursday afternoon.)
That summer was an interesting one. My first few weeks at home were a blur of dresses, photographers, florists, cakes, napkins and invitations. Decisions were made, my mother was left in charge, and I was off to Europe to work at an international conference for itinerant evangelists called Amsterdam 86. The conference was put on by the Billy Graham Association, and since Wheaton was Billy's alma mater and home of the Billy Graham Center, Wheaton students had been recruited to work as stewards at the conference, with room and board provided if we paid our own airfare.
Several girlfriends and I were going over early to meet another gal, whose dad was stationed in Frankfurt, to travel on a German railpass in a big loop around Germany, making several short "legs" of the journey out into France, Switzerland and Austria.
First, we landed in Amsterdam, where who else but Papa Rooster happened to be?
His sophomore year roommate was the chairman of a Wheaton College ministry called YHM, or Youth Hostel Ministry, which sent students to help out at Christian youth hostels all over Europe. The chairman, who traveled all over Europe to meet with the stationary as well as the traveling teams, got to select a traveling partner, and since PR was a known quantity as a roommate--and a good guy--the chairman asked him to be his traveling partner.
So they were in Amsterdam, visiting the teams at the Christian youth hostels there when I arrived--in the morning, but the middle of the night for me, and I was seriously dragging. We had only a few hours together before my friends and I were leaving on a train bound to my uncle's home in Germany (he was stationed at an Air Force base near the border between Holland and Germany). We stowed our suitcases at one of the hostels, bought some lunch, and sat on a bench by one of the canals. The main thing I remember through my jet-lagged fog was trying to decide if I liked the mustache he had grown (you can barely see it in the picture, but it filled in). His hair was shorter and blonder from all the sun, and he looked so different--so Aryan! His big blue eyes looked even bigger and bluer with shorter, blonder hair.
All too soon it was time for a goodbye kiss and catching the train--the first of many I would take in the next 10 days. We got to rendezvous once more in that time, at a Swiss chalet in the Alps on Lake Interlaken. Talk about romantic! I know all the YHM traveling teams and my own three traveling partners were there, but all I remember are walks and talks with PR in that gorgeous setting. (And swimming, for a few minutes anyway, in the icy cold lake--an unforgettable experience.)
Here was another unforgettable experience:
That was my favorite photo from my trip to Europe, taken in Austria. I read so many horse stories growing up, that sitting astride a unicorn seemed a dream come true! Had to work it in.
My girlfriends and I finished our tour...
(Here we are at the infamous Hofbrauhaus in Munich. Don't think we even tried the beer, but I'm open to correction. [Ladies?])
...and ended up in Amsterdam to work at the conference. I was assigned to the conference room that Joni Eareckson Tada's sessions were in, so I got to meet both her and her husband Ken. (On the last day, she gave me a freshly-signed print of one of her paintings, which I still display.) It was also the room that the Japanese contingent of evangelists met in. I couldn't understand a word of their sessions, of course, but on the last day, they began speaking in unison and I knew immediately that it was the Lord's Prayer. It gave me goosebumps to pray along with them, transcending the language barrier!
Then my European adventure was over—and so was PR's. We were on the same flight back to his parents' home in New York...
...and the surprise of our lives!
(I just realized that that white blouse was part of my steward's uniform. I bet I didn't have anything any fresher!)
Stay tuned for Part Six!

Banana Boy's 3rd science unit was the African Savanna. This one was pretty informal and he watched a lot of movies. Some of our favorites were
Wildebeest: The Great African Migration (you can read my review of this movie at Amazon)
and some National Geographic movies.
We also read the One Small Square: African Savanna
I promised him (foolishly) that he could make a diorama of the savanna when he was done. This would have been a great and fun project for the girls, who love to draw from Draw Write Now books. BB, however, spends a lot of time looking at this book, making some marks with a pencil, then crumpling the paper, throwing it at the wall and stomping around the room.
So one morning, we made a very quicky diorama, with Mom doing much of the work. Now BB is happy to have his African scene and he took it up to the attic where he adds the little plastic African animals from the drawer to his scene.

at the lake, at the lake, where i made a great mistake
the day was supposed to be 77F and partly cloudy, with a 0% chance of rain. unfortunately, it turned out to be 66F and totally overcast, with a few sprinkles here and there. me, personally, i think those make for the best beach days, but that's probably from my upbringing on the shores of lake michigan (summers) where most days are cloudy and cool!
we'll remember the damp, earthy smell floating in off jordan lake. we'll remember the odor of pine and barbeque wafting in from the woods and picnic shelter where a large family was celebrating spring break. we'll feel the cold tile of the changing room on our bare feet, and the rough clay-sand of the beach. h will remember the clumps of native clay he found while digging a hole. s will remember the uncrustable sandwich she ate.
our friends nicole, vincent and hollyn joined us, and together we played on the playground, dug a lake with dams; teeth chattering the whole time from wet bodies made blue by cool wind. all in all a successful day and far more relaxing than the day previous.
today is spent in preparation for shakori hills grassroots music festival! we have 4 day passes, and will attempt camping there tonight. in case of rain, snow, sleet, hail or scared children in the dead of night, it's always good to be a mile from home. ;)

mr l, i saw donna the buffalo last night in honor of your friend. more on the festival in a post soon, i promise! lotus, the book was 'poison' by kathryn harrison-- a historical fiction novel based in inquisition era spain. a sight better than any of the crap i've been reading recently. i bought a few old favorites (mme bovary & anna karenina) just so i could be guaranteed to like a book! how's that for desperation?

Hello Melissa,
So you grew up on Lake Michigan? me too. Are you by chance from Chicagoland?
- hellomelissa said...
ah, susan, isn't chicago a wonderful city? when all the other teens would hit daytona beach for spring break, my friends and i would go to chicago! but no, my folks live on the western coast of michigan, about halfway up (north of muskegon). it was our summer place until about 10 years ago when they made it their permanent residence. i grew up in suburban indianapolis during the school part of the year.
- Susan in Italy said...
Ok. Michigan and Indianapolis. That's nice. A lot of Chicagoand I know have places in Michigan on the lakeshore. I grew up in a Chicago suburb.

Simply put, buying a home isn't easy, especially in high-cost metropolitan areas.
But changes in the mortgage industry are afoot, with the goal of loosening some of the strict standards established after the subprime crisis - rules some blame for impeding sales.
"The reality has sunk in that there are buyers out there who will be able to buy homes and make the mortgage payments," said
Government-controlled mortgage giants
The companies, with their congressional mandate to promote home ownership, don't originate loans, but purchase mortgages from lenders to keep the market moving. And any changes they make in the underwriting standards for the loans they buy can have a big effect.
Also, lenders are moving to relax some standards partly because they fear losing business as home prices and mortgage rates rise, said
"If your business is going to drop 20 percent," he said, "you need to come up with ways to offset that."
The changes bring lending nowhere near the easy-money bonanza of last decade, which ended in financial crisis. But they have brought criticism from some corners that liberalizing rules for down payments and how much debt a borrower can have is a slippery slope that could eventually lead to another bubble.
"This is what happened last time," said
During the bubble, borrowers could often put down nothing at all by financing the entire purchase.
After the crash, standards tightened considerably and federal regulators even floated a proposal to require 20 percent down for many mortgages.
For a low-down-payment option, borrowers usually had to turn to the
Now, borrowers increasingly have more options, though generally they need a good credit score.
The trend started in late 2014 when
"I don't think there's a big incentive for us to start to try to create more mortgage availability where the customers are susceptible to default," he told a conference in 2014.
But less than two years later, the bank started offering 3 percent down loans through a partnership with
"We are seeing more and more lenders adopting it every day," said
The 3 percent down loans through Fannie or Freddie are capped at $424,100 in most of the country.
Some are going even lower.
This year,
Pilot programs with Guild Mortgage of
"We were losing business," Battany said.
Guild Mortgage's program was welcomed news for winery owner
Despite making a decent living, the couple estimated they would wipe out their savings if they put 20 percent down on a home in
So this year, they put only 1 percent down to purchase a more than $400,000, three-bedroom townhouse a short walk from downtown.
"This really was a dream come true for us, as locals, to buy within our own community," the 38-year-old Blanchard said. "The response from my peers ... was how is that possible? How did you buy in this town?"
Another recent change affects how much debt a prospective borrower is allowed to carry as a percentage of their gross income.
After the housing crisis,
Last month, Fannie did away with those special requirements, raising its cap to 50 percent.
The change is already helping borrowers qualify, said
"We ran a few (applications) yesterday," she said on a Tuesday earlier this month, a few days after the change went into effect. "They weren't approved on Friday and got approved (Monday) - one at 48 percent and another one at 49 percent."
Though borrowers with a debt-to-income ratio between 45 percent and 50 percent won't have to meet hard-and-fast requirements, Fannie said they still must prove they are less risky than most, maybe by having a higher credit score.
With the exploding cost of higher education causing some students to borrow more than $100,000, several changes are directly targeting young home buyers typically burdened with hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in monthly student-loan payments.
_If a borrower has some student loans or other non-mortgage debt paid by parents or others, those payments will no longer count toward their debt-to-income ratio.
_Once a borrower becomes a homeowner, Fannie will allow them to qualify for a cheaper cash-out refinance if they use it to pay off their high-interest student loans.
_If a student loan borrower is enrolled in an income-based repayment plan, the lower monthly payment can be used when calculating a debt-to-income ratio. Before, lenders often had to use 1 percent of the outstanding student loan balance as the monthly payment.
The final change could help people like attorney
Blaylock, 30, said they tried to buy a home more than a year ago but gave up when a loan officer expressed surprise at their balances and demanded lots of paperwork.
"My parents got a house at a pretty young age," he said. "I never thought it would be such a struggle."
The couple could be paying more than $3,000 a month in student loan payments, Blaylock said, but they have qualified for an income-driven plan that has lowered that to $600. If he's judged only on his reduced payments, Blaylock thinks he'll have a better shot.
"It's possible that could change the equation," he said.
Last decade lenders often required no documentation and freely dished out loans with risky options such as negative amortization, which kept monthly payments artificially low by allowing the principal balance to rise rather than fall.
Now, because of the Dodd-Frank Act, lenders must ensure borrowers have the ability to repay their mortgages. And many have even stricter underwriting than Fannie and Freddie mandate.
For all the changes,
Cecala of industry publication Inside Mortgage Finance said lenders and Fannie and Freddie are "tinkering" around the edges to get more people into loans, for example by allowing a higher debt-to-income ratio but mandating high credit scores in return.
"In the olden days, you would see loosening across the board," he said. Now, "it's moving the needle a little more."
Cecala also noted the riskiest mortgages during the bubble were not purchased or guaranteed by Fannie and Freddie, but rather bundled into mortgage-backed securities that didn't carry their backing. He said he doesn't expect a rush to ease standards until investors regain an appetite for such products.
For their part, Fannie and Freddie say they are making responsible moves to expand credit and adequate safeguards remain in place.
Pinto from the
Pinto called the differing tweaks at Fannie and Freddie a "slippery slope" that in the past has caused a "tit for tat" of looser standards at the two companies and the
That's in part because changes often don't result in new borrowers entering the market, Pinto said, but rather people like the Blanchards who will now use a 1 percent down loan authorized by
"You get more risky lending and you drive up prices," Pinto said.
"We need to be careful not to be on a slippery slope where we go too far," he said. "As long as it's done responsibly it's a good thing."

MALIBU, Calif. — A Wells Fargo executive who oversees foreclosed properties allegedly hosted parties and spent long summer weekends in a foreclosed $12 million Malibu beach house.
The previous owners of the home were financially devastated in Bernard Madoff's fraud, real-estate agent Irene Dazzan-Palmer said.
The couple signed the property over to Wells Fargo last spring, and the bank subsequently denied requests to show the house to prospective buyers, Dazzan-Palmer said.
Neighbors told the LA Times that they believe Cheronda Guyton moved in last May. They got her name from security guards.
Residents wrote down the plate number of a 2007 Volvo SUV they say was parked in the home's garage. The Times found the vehicle was registered to Guyton.
Guyton is a Wells Fargo senior vice president responsible for foreclosed commercial properties, resident Phillip Roman said.
"It's outrageous to take over a property like that, not make it available and then put someone from the bank in it," said Roman.
Neighbors said Guyton, along with her husband and two children, often hosted guests at the home, including a big bash the last weekend of August.
Wells Fargo promised to investigate.

2000 Ford Focus zx3 brake/tail lights
2000 focus zx3. Brake/turn signal not working. Fuses good, flasher good. Hazard switch
good. Found bare wires in hatch. Going to repair soon but even when the wires aren't
grounded to each other or shorted, I still have no turn or brake lights. Noticed a new
hatch latch and rear windshield wiper motor have been installed and I found a loose wire
that looked like it could have been a flat pin ground at one point in time but it doesn't
have any continuity. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you
1 Answer
"Solved" do not rule out the hazard flasher in the middle of the dash just because the "security" light is flashing. Repaired the frayed and separated wiring in the hatch, still had no brake or turn signal lights. Had another hazard switch from an old car I owned. Went to replace it because I was stumped as to what was wrong. And the connector fell out of the back of the hazard switch when I touched it... Plugged it up (original hazard switch) and there they were. Everything worked great, no problems. "Solved"

- The introduction of Dynamic Access, with launch partner Marriott International, to transform hotel distribution by offering travel agents direct access to the reservation systems of participating hotels, at all stages of the booking process.
- In June, with global launch partner Avis, Amadeus announced its enhanced Complete Access Plus solution which allows travel agents to search for and fully price cars from the car rental company's own database. Apart from enhanced data accuracy, the launch brings greater pricing transparency for both agents and travellers.
- The industry leading Amadeus Cruise, which provides travel agents with "point and click" technology to serve their cruise customers quickly and efficiently, was further enhanced when Norwegian Cruise Line and Orient Lines began distribution through it. This brought to seven the number of cruise lines available for booking in Amadeus Cruise.
- LanChile highlighted the progress it has made in electronic ticketing thanks to Amadeus. In general, airlines can save a minimum of 80 per cent on their electronic ticketing maintenance costs with Amadeus.
- In June, Thai Airways International (Thai) renewed its partnership agreement with the company, that includes using Amadeus as its internal reservation system.
- JAT Yugoslav Airlines joined a community of over 110 airlines that use the Amadeus sales system to make reservations and issue tickets in all its offices worldwide. This followed the successful migration of its sales and reservation system to Amadeus in April. In the same month French carrier Air Littoral migrated to the Amadeus sales system, and was followed in June by the Cuban airline Cubana de Aviacion.
- In a move that further extends the company's global reach, Amadeus Gulf was inaugurated as a new National Marketing Company to serve the United Arab Emirates. This adds to the company's existing regional presence in Egypt, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
- In May, Amadeus announced it had teamed with Groupe Galeries Lafayette to launch a new online travel portal in France later this year. This portal will enable French customers to purchase a wide variety of international and domestic travel products.
- During the quarter e-Travel, the online travel solutions unit of Amadeus, strengthened its offering with the debut of Planitgo Version 7.
Amadeus is maintaining its forecast of 1.2 per cent growth in bookings for the year to 31 December 2002, despite the challenging market conditions which are expected to remain for the rest of the year. The company's earlier revenue target of EUR 1,842m for 2002 has been revised downwards to EUR 1,822m. This reflects the recent weakness of the US dollar which may continue for the remainder of the year. Target EBITDA remains EUR 458m for the current year.

Chicago — Staff reporter Colleen Mastony's coverage of the Wheeling High School student reaction to art censorship made my day. Alas I've discovered a ray of hope for the future. Since Sept. 11, freedom of expression and diversification of thought have been increasingly under attack. Conformity has become synonymous with patriotism. What these "patriotic" Americans fail to understand is that if freedom of expression is stifled, creativity will stagnate.
Thanks to the Wheeling High School students, this dumbing down trend is being reined in. Principal Dottie Sievert may label the student actions as "attention seeking," but our founding fathers would call them "democratic."

Sometimes, people get in a tough financial spot. A Fast Cash Elmore Oh may be the only way to get cash they need. The following article has some great information about cash advance loans.
Many of us will find ourselves in desperate need of money at some point in our lives. If you're able to avoid it, do so. See if you can get the necessary funds from friends or family rather than through a payday lender.
Consider shopping online for a payday loan, if you must take one out. There are numerous websites that offer them. If you need one, you are already tight on money, so why waste gas driving around trying to find one that is open? You do have the option of doing it all from your desk.
Do your research before choosing a payday lender to make sure you get the best deal. There are a myriad of options available in this field, and you want to ensure that you are dealing with a legitimate company that has procedures in place to ensure the loan is fair and well managed. Find customer reviews from other people.
Your credit record is important when it comes to cash advance loans. You may still be able to get a loan, but it will probably cost you dearly with a sky-high interest rate. If you have good credit, payday lenders will reward you with better interest rates and special repayment programs.
If the due date for your loan is approaching, call the company and request an extension. Some companies can extend your due date by a day or two. Understand, however, that you will have to pay interest.
If you have financial trouble due to cash advance loans you had in the past, there are agencies that can assist you with that. Their services are free and can negotiate lower interest rates and payments to help you escape the trap of payday cash advances.
Be aware of the deceiving rates you are presented. It may seem to be affordable and acceptable to be charged fifteen dollars for each one-hundred you borrow, but it will quickly add up. The rates will translate to be about 390 percent of the amount borrowed. Know exactly how much you will be required to pay in fees and interest up front.
Only use payday loans if you're having an emergency. These loans almost always create a vicious cycle that is hard to escape. You can find yourself not able to fully ever pay back your loan.
The best way to use a payday loan is to pay it back in full as soon as possible. The fees, interest, and other costs associated with these loans can cause significant debt, that is almost impossible to pay off. So when you can pay your loan off, do it and do not extend it.
As stated in the beginning of the article, people have been obtaining Fast Cash Elmore Oh more, and more these days in order to survive. If you are interested in getting one, it is important that you know the ins, and out of them. This article has given you some crucial payday loan advice.

Court Cites Irregularities in Sikhs' Death Sentences
Jan. 30, 1986
NEW DELHI, India (AP) _ Two Delhi high court judges said Thursday that death sentences given three Sikhs convicted in the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi were not handed down ''in conformity with the law.''
The court did not strike down the sentences, however, saying it would issue a final ruling next month. By law, death sentences must be confirmed by the high court.
''All these contentions can be gone into in detail and appropriately dealt with at the time of the appeal or when the reference comes up for confirmation of the death sentence,'' judges R.N. Aggarwal and Mali Sharifuddin said.
They were replying to a petition by the lawyer for two of the Sikhs, Balbir Singh and Kehar Singh. Both were convicted last week of conspiracy in the Oct. 31, 1984, assassination of Mrs. Gandhi while she was walking in her garden.
A third Sikh, Satwant Singh, a bodyguard to Mrs. Gandhi, was convicted of murder. All three were convicted and sentenced by special Judge Mahesh Chandra of New Delhi's session court.
Singh, which means lion in Punjabi, is the surname given all male Sikhs.
The high court said Chandra failed to mention in his execution order that the three be ''hanged by the neck until they are dead'' or that the sentences were subject to confirmation by the high court.
''This was not in conformity with the provisions of the law,'' the high court said.

By Lt. Jeffrey S. Gray, Navy City Outreach, Chicago
CHICAGO (NNS) -- Students, faculty, and staff at two Chicago area high schools and members from local civic groups were provided insight into the operations of the U.S. military's detention facility at Guantanamo, Cuba, here on April 6 and 7 by the detention center's commander.
Rear Adm. Jeffrey Harbeson, Commander, Joint Task Force Guantanamo, came to the Chicago area to provide an overview of the "safe, humane, legal, transparent care and custody of detainees" to students from Barrington High School and the Hyman G. Rickover Naval Academy along with civic leaders from the National Strategy Forum and the Union League Club of Chicago.
By coming to the Chicago area, "I hope I gave the students and adults an appreciation for the tremendous professionalism of the men and women down at JTF GTMO," said Harbeson. "It's a remarkable job our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and civilians do day in and day out."
"The guard force," according to Harbeson, "is the most challenging job in the military today. You might think that is pretty bold statement. You might ask, 'How can you make that statement when we have people over in Afghanistan and Iraq fighting right now?' The reason I say that is because when our guards go on the cell block they can't fight back."
"When our troops go to Iraq or Afghanistan they're in their battle gear and when the enemy engages them they can shoot back. Our guards [at Guantanamo] can't," said Harbeson. "The enemy at Guantanamo is tough and battle-hardened because they've been here for the past nine years. When the detainees do something to our guards they can't retaliate - they have to maintain their professionalism."
In his discussions Harbeson talked about the need to provide detainees with a considerable quality of life that includes: communal living arrangements, practicing religion three times a day, three meals a day with six different meal options rotating every 14 days, three different newspapers (USA Today, a Saudi Arabia newspaper, and Egyptian newspaper), 21 satellite television channels, 11 satellite radio channels, telephone and online video conference calls back home on a quarterly basis, free exchange of mail, an extensive library with books in approximately 18 different languages, English and basic computer keyboarding classes, sports exercise equipment, athletic competitions, unlimited lawyer visits, and video games.
"A common question I get is, 'Why do you offer them so much?," said Harbeson. "When you have 172 detainees and 168 of them have not been charged with anything, they are defined as unlawful enemy combatants. I need to have them focused on an English or Art class. I need to have them thinking about the class and not thinking about how to assault or splash a guard with bodily fluids. No one should have to endure that. I need to protect my guard force."
Given the intensity and stress 12 to 14 hour work days associated with guard duty, students and adults inquired about whether there was any sense of normal American life that they could enjoy while deployed to Guantanamo.
Petty Officer 1st Class Daniel Resso responded, "The quality of life at Guantanamo is very good. The MWR [Morale, Welfare, and Recreation] has put a lot of money into gyms, sporting events such as intramural football, soccer, basketball - every sport you can think of. They constantly sponsor runs, 5K and 10K. As far as normal life there is a McDonald's, there is an A&W, there is a Taco Bell, Pizza Hut. Most people spend their time working out to relieve stress."
In addition to talking about the day-to-day operations of the detention facility, Harbeson also found time to provide senior mentorship to cadets at Rickover Naval Academy.
Speaking to a small group of cadets, Harbeson highlighted the importance of the values and attitudes they were receiving by attending Rickover. "You are cultivating some important values here. You've got a work ethic and you have high standards. No matter what profession you choose to pursue, the foundation you receive here is what you're going to rely upon for future success both professionally and in your personal life."
Cadet Mikel Sierra of Rickover Naval Academy remarked, "I was impressed that Rear Adm. Harbeson talked a lot about the failures he experienced, how he wasn't sure about what he wanted to do in life, and the importance of perseverance. Keep moving yourself forward and when you fall you need to pick yourself up and learn from your mistakes."
"This was the first time I've done anything like this. It was truly inspiring to see the hope on the faces of these young men and women and to see how they are looking toward the future and the opportunities ahead of them." Harbeson continued, "It was great to have had an experience like this because it reassures me that we have a great generation of leaders ahead of us."
Navy City Outreach is responsible for enhancing the United States Navy branding by creating opportunities for Navy representatives to engage and connect with youth, educational, civic, government, and business leaders within America's great cities; and, communicate the importance of educating and training future naval officers from diverse backgrounds for leadership roles within the United States Navy.

Self-Indulgent Blogging
1. Blogging is like keeping a journal, but more fun, because typing is easier on the hands than writing, and you can add pictures, videos, links, and all kinds of other stuff to your blog that you can't stick in a paper journal. What's more, a blog can be a community journal of sorts, devoted to one particular topic such as recipes, or child-care, or acting, and be a place more interactive than a regular website and yet less frenetic than a chat-room. Also, blogging is better than old-fashioned journaling because you can add labels to your posts for future easy reference, or you can quickly do searches of your text, and you don't have to kill trees.
2. Blogging helps me practice my writing skills. I have a dream of writing a book someday, but until then I've got to constantly practice putting thoughts into words. Blogging is a really good way to practice, as well as to record stories and imagery that might someday be useful in a book. It's a nice medium because its immediacy promotes quick improvisational thinking, and yet the ability to continually edit makes it writer-friendly.
3. Blogging keeps my family and friends informed about my life. Sure, they could get on facebook and read my status messages and find out that I love pink starbursts and laugh at stupid quiz results, but is that really any less self-indulgent? I could write facebook notes about my life, which are pretty much just like blog posts, but personally I find the blog format a bit more user friendly, nicer to look at without all the ads and junk, and just more fun. I could talk on the phone or write letters, but the problem is that I hate to talk on the phone and I don't enjoy writing the same stories ten times over again, which is what I would have to do if I wrote it all down in letters to people.
4. Blogging is like having my own little corner of the internet all to myself. Okay, so it's self-indulgent. But if my intentions are to promote good by talking about lovely things that happen in New York, for example, what is so bad about being self-indulgent? I like being able to design my own page, choose what elements to include in the side bar, and play with the colors of my blog. I like to know that despite all the filth on the internet, my little corner is full of nice things. For others, maybe blogging is an outlet for self-expression. Writing can be quite therapeutic.
5. Blogging is fun. I guess it's like any hobby. I mean, why knit a scarf? It's self-indulgent to be warm. Why play video games for three hours every night? That's not self-indulgent.
6. A blog can be anything you want it to be. It can be a music review forum. It can be a list of what you've eaten every day. It can be nothing but pictures of broken umbrellas. Facebook is going to always be facebook, but a blog has endless possibilities. Hmmm... this reason might be the same as #4, but who cares.
7. Then there is that element of voyeurism, and I'm not just talking about reading blogs. I have to admit that I enjoy writing things and wondering who on the other side of the world might somehow come across my blog post and read it. It's exhilarating to write down a thought and put it out into the ether where anyone can see it. Is it self-indulgent to think that other people might be interested in what I have to say? Well, even if only one or two people are, I still think that's pretty sweet. It's fun to get comments on blog posts from strangers who have read what I've written and connected in a positive way with something I've said. And even if nobody read my blog, I would still write on it, because I enjoy going back and reading old posts myself.
My point is that I'm definitely pro-blog. Josh already thinks I'm lame, so I might as well be self-indulgent too.
5 comments:
I don't agree with him at all. I'm going to start a groundbreaking new blog which will be entirely informative- upon the subject of Macaroni and Cheese. This blog will feature low cost boxes of macaroni and cheese with detailed reviews that will be geared to the "common man." So the next time people go shopping for mac and cheese for their offspring, they will know *precisely* what kind to buy as they consider the combination of taste and low cost.

I love #7. The first week I got my analytics back, and I saw that someone in Indonesia and New Zealand were reading, was amazing! Who on earth was reading from there, and how did they find me? It is a heady feeling.
I notice I have a strange boost of international readers when I post about my favorite TV shows/Movies, but people are passionate about so many things, you never know.
My sister's work recently looked at the top stories on their blog, and #1 was an interview she did about rugs at a showroom in Charlotte, and although Tim, their rep, is charming, #1, really? Wow!
Keep Writing--I love it!

Today was rainy in the morning, but then it got sunny! Hoorah!
Monday was gloomy all day, but it never rained.
Today I had a bigband rehearsal- we played I Wish, Thieves in the Temple, Bluesy Basie, and Misty.
Yesterday I played badminton.
Badminton is always really fun.
Tomorrow I have a full school day.
Today I had just sport, and we played Volleyball.
Germans call Volleyball "wallyball"
My band director called Stevie Wonder "Stevie Vonda"
I think that's funny.
7 comments:
Wallyball! Excuse the broad generalization, but the majority of them seem to be really good and intense at it, too. Then again, that seems to be how most Germans are with most sports.ReplyDelete
ANSWER: I didn't. I got in touch with a family quite by chance, through an acquaintance of my mother's, and just went and stayed with them for a month.
QUESTION: It turns out that I'll have enough credits to graduate at the end of this year...do you know if CBYX accepts just-graduated people for a gap-year-type thing?
CBYX accepts post-graduates as long as they are under 18 at the time of departure, which is early September for AFS. Will you be under 18?ReplyDelete
oh, and another question- do you know anything about hosting in America, privately?ReplyDelete
Yes, I will. Thanks!ReplyDelete
And I'm not sure what you mean. Are you talking about hosting someone you met there? My German friend will be staying with me for a month this winter, and since it's not a very long visit it wasn't hard to work out with my school. Also, about half the people I met there asked me to find them exchange partners from my school, which I keep forgetting to ask the German teacher about.
Ja, genau. I'm not so concerned with working it out with the school, moreso with the gorvernment. What do you know about that?ReplyDelete
For a month, it really doesn't matter. Actually, according to the US Department of State website, visitors from Germany may stay without a visa for 90 days. Finding anything on that website is a bit nightmarish, but this page might help.ReplyDelete
Aw, thank you- and you're right, the US State Dept website is absolutely terrible. Thanks for the link, that's good.ReplyDelete

Exploring the Toyota Highlander's History
The 2001 Toyota Highlander entered the market with two trims and seating for five passengers. It first ran on a 155-horsepower 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine. It had cruise control, a CD player, and air conditioning as standard with available features like heated seats, a moonroof, and leather. There was a midcycle refresh in 2004 when the third row became optional. The Highlander Hybrid arrived as a 2006 model year. It was standard with three rows, making it the first hybrid vehicle with seating for seven. The 2008 Highlander began the second generation with an increase in every dimension and a growth from 81.6 to 95.4 cubic feet for cargo with the rear seats folded. The second generation also introduced a 270-horsepower 3.5-liter V6. In 2009, a 187-horsepower 2.7-liter 4-cylinder became standard on FWD models with two rows.

The Cook Islands are a self-governing parliamentary democracy in free association with New Zealand, located in Polynesia, in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean, between French Polynesia Society Islands to the east and Tonga to the west.
This archipelago has 15 inhabited islands spread out over 2.2 million square kilometres of ocean with no land between the tropical Cook Islands and Antarctica.
With the same time zone and latitude south, rather than north as Hawaii, the islands are sometimes thought of as "Hawaii down under". Though smaller, it reminds some elderly visitors of Hawaii before statehood without all the large tourist hotels and other development.

With healthy gains on the board by 11:00 am (the Dow was up nearly 150 points), stocks sent the remainder of the session losing value. There was no specific news of import to move stocks, simply the general feeling that the economy as a whole is less likely to improve before it deteriorates further.
Dow 12,110.24 -46.57; NASDAQ 2,243.87 -11.89; S&P 500 1,308.77 -11.88; NYSE Composite 8,781.23 -61.45
It's relatively simple to understand where investors are getting the majority of their negative sentiment of late. Oil and gas prices are exploding, as are food prices, while home sales and prices are down and the credit crunch seems far from resolved. Add a falling dollar to the mix, stir gently and viola you have less disposable income for consumers who are tightening their belts, which usually translates into lower corporate profits.
What may be driving Wall Street's declines more than anything, however, is the absolute dearth of leadership from Washington. Investors are concerned about their futures and all they see from D.C. is stagnation and a lack of solutions. America, over the past 7 years of the Bush administration and a strangled congress, has been reduced to a nation of haves and have-nots. The trouble is that the haves cannot survive well without the have-nots having something. The middle class is being shoved down to a survival class with no means of upward mobility. Such a system cannot and will not work in the longer term.
$100 Car PaymentsThere's also a feeling that the Fed has become impotent to a large degree and since announcing yet another option to salvage battered banking interests, another rate cut next week may not be forthcoming. The Fed meets on Tuesday, March 18, to discuss the federal funds rate. Analysts had been looking for a 50 to 75 basis point reduction, but since yesterday many have trimmed that outlook to 25 to 50 basis points.

While today's trading range was not great, the breadth of the losses were significant. Declining issues retook the lead over gainers, 3747-2536, and new lows beat new highs, 327-82.
Oil continued to reach new heights, adding $1.17 to close at $109.92. Gold gained $4.70 to $980.70, while silver was up 23 cents to close at an even $20.00.
Naturally, everybody wants to know what's next. Some answers may come as early as tomorrow as February retail sales figures and the most recent unemployment claims hit the street prior to the opening bell.
The news on the retail front is not likely to be cheery, though only a small decline - 0.1% - is expected.
