Those two dirty high school sweethearts are supposed to be studying, but instead they ignore their academic pursuits in favour of licking each others' shaved cookies. The two gals, a sexy brunette called Anna and her stunning golden-haired girlfriend Camilla, kiss every other firmly on the lips. Tons of the time when u see two sweeties getting it on in a porn movie scene it is obviously fake, but you can tell by the way that they flicker their tongues over one another's lips that these cuties are genuinely into hotty on hotty action. At 1st brunette Anna is the ringleader, tonguing her girlfriend to perfection and then pulling out a purple sex toy to drill her gap.

Alyssa Lynn was at SCORE for the second time. Fresh Fourty something Girl Cassie Cougar was at SCORE for the 1st time and doing her first-ever hardcore scene. Cassie was a lap dancer in the Recent York area and now does web-camming.
They criss-crossed at SCORE on the same day and met in the dressing room. Naturally, this collision had to photographed. The girls compare bodies and bigger than typical pantoons and learned they have a lot in common.
Cassie was a office assistant in a hospital; Alyssa was a licensed practicing nurse. (She is still licensed in case someone collapses during one of her lap dances.) The one and the other cuties are sugar-sweet.
See Cassie give Alyssa a boob-to-boob gogo dance in the clip portion. It is quite educational.
Thanks, Alyssa and Cassie.

You have viewed this story a thousand times previous to on TV reveals such as ER, Chicago Hope, St. Elsewhere, Scrubs, Ben Casey, Dr. Kildare, Dr. Who and Marcus Welby, M.D.
Yet it begged for a remake so SCORE decided to tackle this sensitive subject.
Whilst examining this movie, the daydream of walking into the clinic where Nurse Kandi Cox is tending to patient Cindy Cupps and yelling "I'm a doctor! Let me through!" is very powerful.
So here are the facts: Big busted Florida brunette needs a routine physical. Click-clacks on her high heels and bounces into the SCORE Medical Clinic. Mature nurse relocated from Vegas and in need of orgasms begins to take the vitals, love height, weight, etc., when they are the one and the other afflicted with large boob medical madness. This condition causes juicy belts, erect areolas and snapped bra-straps.
In a dunky in number minutes, Kandi is licking Cupps's muff and using a tongue depressor made by our friend the esteemed Doc Johnson. Now u would think that Kandi Cox would have been the confident goddess from the get-go. But no, Cindy (in her first girl on girl) is the one putting on the strap-on and giving Nurse Cox a rock hard screw. A unfathomable one too. That thing's an eight-incher. (For the record, Cindy considers herself sexually confident.)
Just about anything two monster titted broads can do to every other is competent. The one and the other Cindy and Kandi are gratified with the results. This is more killer than Obamacare.

Breast fondelling, kissing, licking with tongue, mouthing and mashing. Nipples fondelling clits and buns. Pussies being spanked and finger-fucked. Tongue-to-tongue and lip-locking. Hot and big busted femdom-goddess bodies massaging, fondling and hugging.
That is what's on the minds of Roxanne Diamond and Amorina guided by their idol and role glamour model, Joana, one of the most-popular naturals–an MVP of major league yabbos.
The last time those three were at SCORELAND (in "Big Tit Cookie Picnic"), they couldn't keep their hands and face holes off every other's bodies. Now they've returned for more, this time indoors in heels and hawt outfit that come off fast.
Like final time, Joana is the Chairwoman of the Boob-board, guiding the girls to sticky cum-gasms and instructing them in the ways of pleasuring her own wish for woman bodies. Joana has two very ready disciples at her service. They look up to her and would probably do everything that babe tells 'em to. It's a top-heavy trio of milk sacks, clits and vaginas.

We asked Christy Marks which cutie was her prefered to do a scene with. Christy did girl-girls that included Cassandra Calogera, Karina Hart, Gianna Rossi, Carmen Hayes (which led to a trio with a skirt chaser) and Terry Nova (in a foursome in Full-bosomed Riding Academy). Once, Janet Jade lent a hand when that babe and Christy jacked off and tit-fucked a gent until he discharged his bolt.
Christy's answer?
"Angela White, hands down. That babe was really into it. Personality-wise, this babe was the best. And Gianna Rossi was indeed fine."
This hawt on-the-beach scene with Angela White is from the DVD Breasty Paradise.
Although they are separated by half a world, Angela and Christy are BBFs (Busty Breast Friends). Meeting in The Bahamas was a highlight of Big busted Paradise week for them. You can watch in the movie and fotos how fascinated they were by each other's bodies as they taste their teats, love tunnels, booties…the taste, the feel, the scent, the licking, kissing and engulfing…it was paradise for 'em.
Angela and Christy have sex super-drives. That's why they were drawn to sexually excited modeling. They would have wild sex lives besides, camera or no camera. Their fascination with each other's larger than standard love bubbles and downy bodies was off the meter. Only SCORE would bring American and Australian stacked stars jointly on a Caribbean island for a full week.
Angela had high praise for Christy, likewise.
"Christy Marks!" said Angela. "Her bumpers are just out of this world! I suppose they are the humongous I've ever seen, especially on a girl who is as slim as Christy. That makes her even more phenomenal than almost any others."

It is no surprise that Aubrey (the brunette) planned to skip with fascinating little Sammy. This babe has the hots for Sammy's vagina and was set on finally getting a smack. Of course it all starts with sunblock. There's fondelling and touching and the next thing Sammy knows her mellons are out and she's giving a kiss Aubrey. "I was actually nervous at 1st," Sammy said. "But Aubrey truly helped me to relax. This was my first time ever being with a cutie, and it was so wonderful. Aubrey's lips were so soft (both pairs) and I loved squeezing her love melons." And what did Aubrey must say about it? "I loved how timid Sammy was. I felt love I really got her to come without her shell. This babe tastes just as priceless as that babe looks."

It is good to know who we are in Christ. But first it is imperative we know who we are apart from Christ. Otherwise Satan will meet us at every turn, take us at will. (II Timothy 2:25-26)
On Saturday, June 8, 2006, I wrote in my journal.
Have been reading The Brothers Karamazoff. Theme of the book: Saints and Sinners: we are all made of the same cloth. The one may live well, the other low, but there is no difference. (see Romans 3:22-23) The one with true humility understands this; the prideful one believes it not -> however, the humble person is known to live well. Love and acceptance is the only thing that can change the evil person on the inside. We can through circumstance be forced to change our ways, but it is not the way we meet our God. We meet our God when He comes to us with love and acceptance. He turns His face from evil, but not from us. In the world it is necessary to alter behavior by force, but it is not the way we meet our God.
Gospel writer and apostle John said, "Jesus did not commit Himself unto them, because he knew all men, and needed not that any should testify of man, for He knew what was in man. (John 2: 24-25) Unless we know (by experience and through the unveiling process performed by the Holy Spirit) our nature thoroughly; we can't move ahead to who we can become in Christ.
"Without me, you can do nothing," said Jesus to His disciples. Without Him I am nothing except 'wretched, poor, blind, miserable and naked.'
If we've never dealt with our own nakedness, then how yearn from the depths of our being to be clothed upon? What a shocking sight it is, to see the monster we truly are, unclothed. But once we do look upon that beastly spectacle (maybe just a peek through fingers at first), face it thoroughly and cry out to Jesus, we are on the road to being safe at last.
Now pride in me wants to lament death of the beast in me, cloaking him in his own devices. It wants to save him. But Jesus, lover of my soul that He is, is bound and determined to slay him. Yea, He already hath done so. Like Goliath, my monster lies headless, slain on the open ground. David, shadow of Jesus, stands over him with a drawn and bloody sword. Thank God the giant is slain and Israel, with me, is set free.
O let us rejoice victory and dance upon the corpse: let us at all times remember, the nature of the self He slew on the day He said, "It is finished."

Wow, I want to shoot that now.
Ham and Jam is a teamplay orientated, first person WW2 multiplayer game centred around the British and Commonwealth campaigns from 1939-45. Historically accurate missions coupled with careful balance between realistic and enjoyable gameplay makes Ham and Jam a unique experience. Ham and Jam started out as an idea between it's two main developers as an alternative to the tired old "U.S./Russia vs. Germany, post June 6th 1944" formulae WW2 games seem to use. Fed-up with everything prior to D-Day being ignored, the North West Europe theatre and the lack of British, Commonwealth and Free Forces they decided to do something about it. The goal was clear, to make a WW2 mod that featured all the missing bits of WW2 history, portray it in a historically accurate way but without detracting from the fun or playability by overdoing realism. In short the kind of game they and their friends would like to play. The name comes from the original code words for the capture of the Pegasus/Orne bridges
Wow, I want to shoot that now.
Woho, iron sights!
oh ok i can see the low poly, but heck, looks a lot better than something valve would come up with, and for that matter i say this is commercial quality, i hate all the console games with glitter and 5 layers of bump mapping with all kinds of shadow, reflection and lighting issues, work on the gameplay i like the props!

It's no secret that men do not always pay attention to skin care.
"Women are just better with their skin, and they're better with having a regimen—having something that they do for their skin every day," said Paul Jou, MD, a dermatologist with University of Minnesota Health and an assistant professor at University of Minnesota Medical School. "Men do not have any routine, for the most part. So, getting men to do a specific routine can be a little more difficult."
Fortunately, Jou has plenty of tips for men who are trying to develop a better skin care regimen. We asked him to share some of his expertise. Here's what he had to say:
"In Home Alone, when Macaulay Culkin puts the aftershave on his face and then screams because it burns—that shouldn't happen," Jou said. "Aftershave shouldn't burn. That's not a good thing."
Instead, Jou recommends replacing aftershave with an antioxidant serum containing ferulic acid, vitamin C, green tea or others. Antioxidants boost the skin's natural repair systems and reduce damage that occurs as we age.
"Ultraviolet rays will pass through clouds; they go through windows," Jou said. "If there's light in the sky, there are UV rays."
Jou recommends a combination sunscreen and moisturizer every morning. "If you really want to protect your skin and look your best as you age, I really do recommend using at least an SPF 30 sunscreen every day," he said.
"Skin care products are packaged differently for each gender, and may have different fragrances, but the products themselves are not necessarily different," Jou said.
On a related note, Jou said it is best to avoid fragrances if possible, because they may cause allergic reactions or rashes.
"Ask your dermatologist for recommendations for trusted products—not necessarily the ones with the flashiest packaging or marketing," Jou said.

These muffins were on the dense side, but that's not a trait I especially mind in muffins. I was quite happy with the taste -- very lemony and just sweet enough.
In a bowl, whisk together
8 oz. okara
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
zest of 2 lemons
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup water
until thoroughly combined. Add
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tablespoon poppy seeds
and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon, until dry ingredients are moistened and well combined.
Fill the cups of a lightly oiled 12-muffin tin with the batter. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-23 minutes.

Time spent on a good second is time thrown away
One of my favorite quotes is a lesson I was able to live out.
Time spent on a good second is time thrown away
What is ' a good second'? A compromise you didn't intend on making? A 2nd place? An award for a lifetime of service instead of accomplishments reached? Or is it in the thought "yeah good enough for me"? Or a "You'll get them next time"?
A good second is the end result of our complacency, and in being so accustomed to mediocrity that you are satisfied with 'closer finish lines' than "the true summit".
Several years ago my wife and I set a goal of climbing Longs Peak in Colorado. It's a Fourteener, and if you don't know that just means it has a summit over 14 thousand feet. This is important only because of the lack of oxygen and difficulties that arise at altitudes that high. By no means a walk in the park. So we did our due diligence and researched all we could on the climb, read as much as possible about best times of year, most successful approaches, what to bring - what to leave behind, what to do if things go wrong, etc. And as we prepared I couldn't help but make the comparison to life in general; how education is so important to reaching your goals, how preparedness takes time, how you have to really sacrifice other things you want to do while you prepare for the 'bigger' things you want to do, how you always have to asses your own life and think "what to keep and what to leave behind".
It was a great time for my wife and I, working out together, going over stories we found about the climb, thinking about life; and asking some big questions to each other: what if we die - who takes care of our 3 year old daughter? So much planning and so much effort was required just for a summit to be touched.
The day came for our hike, we woke early, and got a great start. By early morning we were well above the tree line and saw the sun rise over Denver. Then the lack of oxygen began; muscles hurt, short rests began to get harder to start again, and the path increased in difficulty more and more every few feet. We reached a section of the trail where most turn back called the 'The Through'; well past the Boulder Field. Made up of loose dirt and 6 foot tall rock scrambles; this section was demoralizing at best. I remember my lungs were so on fire I couldn't talk to my wife in full sentences. Instead of asking her "hey can I have some water" all that came out of me was "heh waters". Tough.
After 5 or 6 breaks just to cross 100 feet of mountain; I looked at my wife and said "Does it count if we make this our summit?". My wife as out of breath as I was; looked up at the rest of the climb, turned to me and just shook her head no.
I felt disappointment in even asking. Why did I want to give up? Why did I want to just forget all the planning, the mapping, the research, the nights at the gym training? What was it in me that said "I'm done, and I want to be ok with that"? Where did this desire for compromise come from?
It's a little embarrassing now to even tell this story, I was so hungry for that goal that I couldn't even say 'let's stop'; I had to say 'Let's still call this a win and turn back'. How sad is that! I was so afraid of failure and hurting my own ego that I didn't even have the integrity to say "this beat me".
Looking back I learned exactly what " A Good Second" is then and there.
A good second is denying yourself your summit; because what you want more in that moment, requires less of you.
We did summit, it was the most strenuous thing I think I've ever put my body through. And it was one of the most amazing moments of my life reaching the top while holding my wife's hand. And to be extremely honest - If I would have gone alone, or gone with even a best friend - I know I would have turned back. I guess that's a side lesson; you can't reach your goals without someone dedicated to the same goals as you - if not more so. And to be a little more romantic about it, no goal is worth standing on alone. Summits are better when you hold the hand of the one you love, the one who's been through it with you.
We spend most of our lives, years, months, days thinking "where will I end up?" "what will happen?" "will I meet my goals?" "will I get what I'm trying to get?".
Ultimately I think this is what leads us to discontentment. This way of thinking only perpetuates the difficulty and the desire for us to settle for "a Good Second" when the road gets too tough. Allowing ourselves to settle for a lesser version of what we seek is rooted in asking questions about our goals instead of working hard to reach them. Dont stop, dont pause, work - move.
Whether it's a tangible thing we seek, or personal goal; the lesson is to never confuse a summit with a half way point. Yes your summit will require more of you, yes your summit will be more sacrificial on your part than you thought, yes your summit demands the most of you; but if the alternative is only 'a good second' why would you even stop to question it.
Time spent on good second is time thrown away.

SAN ANTONIO, TX – September 10,2014 – (HISPANICIZE WIRE) – Karla Fernandez Parker, a brand engagement expert, has announced the rebranding of her agency, K. Fernandez Marketing, to reflect the agency's total market and Hispanic marketing expertise in multicultural advertising, brand positioning and cultural training.
"Our new tagline: "In-Culture Brand Engagement", really says it all. We are helping clients tackle the complexities of the New Texas and beyond as a one-stop shop to get the best team, right ideas and turn-key execution"
K.

I recently got this very important questions from a commenter. This is a difficult question to answer in a brief and straightforward way. One 'right' answer is NO – please choose another profession, this one is taken. There are way too many Phd folks of higher calibre who will struggle for many, many years to find any job, let alone the one they imagined or hoped for. So, unless you have a direct line from God telling you that this is the only path, save your families some hearthache (and a boatload of money!) and reconsider.
Having said that, I do think that the world needs some better theology/Bible profs. Ones that:
1. Represent better the student body (and the wider people of God): a major area is more female professors and men and women 'of color'. I don't think this is just to fill a quota or seem 'diverse' – at Gordon-Conwell, where I did my MDIV and ThM, it was a very white student body. The students and faculty would have liked to attract more Latin American and African American students, but at the time I started, there were so few faculty of color that it would be hard to see that happening.
Keep in mind, I got beat out for jobs in some part because I am male – my wife (who went to seminary) reminds me that when a school has chosen a woman over me, that's one more woman professor to encourage someone like my wife who felt alone and harshly judged sometimes in seminary.
2. Can do theology (as a Bible professor), or vice versa. Many have recognized that we have kept Biblical studies and theological interpretation in different rooms for far too long. Can we find professors who read widely – I have committed myself to read more 'theologians' – particularly Miroslav Volf, Hauerwas, and some ancients like Chrysostom. Will theology profs read Wright's The New Testament and the People of God or Dunn's Beginning from Jerusalem?
3. Are good communicators – ones who read monograph-level books, but can teach the ideas presented there at a freshman-in-college audience. Or who think with the scholars, but can write for the church (like Christopher Wright, Gordon Fee, John Goldingay, etc…).
4. Are confident and convicted, but are irenic and have a willingness to learn and hear during debates. I fear that too many of my own (=evangelicals) protect 'truth' with a sharp sword instead of a shield. How can we be heard and also listen? I go back to NT Wright's mantra – reformed and always reforming. I have learned much from the Brits about going out for a drink after a heated seminar with the very ones whom you place on the other side of the line.
5. Can live with one foot firmly in the academy (e.g., participate in SBL-like stuff) and the other in the church (regularly teaching or preaching, serving as elders, benevolence committees, missions boards, etc…). I tend to see profs heavily leaning one way or the other. On the one side, the reclusive professor who writes weighty books and hopes that someone will explain them to laypeople, somehow. On the other side, the professor who moonlights as a pastor but is not interested in being sharpened academically and reading those esoteric books, some of which have powerful ideas in them.
6. Actually care for students – this is common sense to some of us, but too many professors I have known don't bother to learn the students names, talk to them in hallways or the cafeteria (heaven forbid some should actually eat in the cafeteria!), and make them feel welcome when they interrupt the office hours that are posted but just seem like any other hours. I admit that in seminary, I would go to a profs office hours and wait, only for them to never show up! Ouch! At Gordon-Conwell, I felt that most professors kept a barrier to protect their professionalism and not get too chummy with students. I can see some sense in that, but I really desired to be discipled and to have a mentor. Sadly, I didn't really find one. Part of this lack of involvement is just busyness – professors are overworked and (way) underpaid. What can you do? I have committed myself to having lunchtime reading groups to work through some of the books I have assigned that we will not be able to discuss in class. This is my way of getting personal time with a smaller group who seek that out. Also, I am going to try to have a community service project I coordinate for all of my students who can earn extra credit by putting their biblical knowledge into practice by serving others. I will be serving shoulder-to-shoulder with them (habitat for humanity, or a soup kitchen, or fixing up an old church building, etc…).
SO – these are just some reasons why maybe the dream to become a professor is still alive. When schools get dozens and dozens of job applications, I fear that a number of these applicants are cookie-cutter shapes – 'I wrote this, I studied with this guy, I went to this school, I want to be a professor'. Today, you need something else to make it to the top of the pile: you need to be a leader. I fear that many bible profs are 'scholars' but not leaders. They are 'thinkers' but not visionaries. They are one-dimensional. I don't consider myself to be the cream of the crop or anything. In some ways, I was fortunate enough to be at the right place (like Durham) at the right time. But also I was willing to think outside the box. I was bold enough to go after things because I didn't want to be another [fill-in-the-blank]. I do see a few people out there who are pushing the envelope, in terms of serving academy and church. Too few, though.
The bottom line – I would trade in 10 cookie-cutter profs for one discerning, humble, church-serving, think-outside-the-box scholar that works for and with students to understand theology and the Bible for the good of the modern world. If you can step up and strive for that, I will back you up all the way.

Re: LongeLife patient library - Personal knowledge and opinion

(57 lines)
I am the director with whom Dalia Kleinmuntz spoke about the patient
library at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston. The article to which she refers
was a bit premature as the nurses involved hadn't been given a budget or even a
clear mission. They were trying to expand upon a "patient information"
(i.e. patient referal) line as well as to find a means to provide
centralized patient education. Additionally, the hospital was trying to
provide a community service (which was a requirement in building a new
clinical center). Originally, the plans called for a "patient information
kiosk". Calling it a library, even at the beginning of the involvement of
the Nursing Dept. was a bit of a misnomer, but a step in the right direction.
About a week after Dalia called, Jay Daly (co-director at the time) and I
got a call from the nurse in charge of the project who was eager to tap
us for knowledge, information, ideas, etc. She left the hospital several
months later and, just when we were beginning to wonder if the project
had bit the dust, was replaced by a nurse with a much clearer vision.
She & I had a lengthy meeting as soon as she took charge. She soon
formed an advisory committee on which I am most certainly a vocal presence.
I am as anxious as they are to get the library off of the ground (the
library is only one part of the entire "Patient Family Learning Resource
Center"; the rest is patient referral, discharge info and other types of
patient education. The Medical Library currently gets many visits
from patients and family members whom we are ill-equipped to help because
of the limited clinical and research budget under which we operate.
Of course we will remain involved in the planning and operation of the
project. We probably *will* add the books to our online catalog and,
hopefully, *they* will finance the expensive Health Reference Center which
we will mount locally on our LAN. Staffing is a *very* sensitive issue
(all over the hospital) which is still up in the air. But I have enough
anecdotal information for the committee about patient inquiries that they
have stopped talking (maybe not stopped thinking but at least stopped
talking) about staffing with volunteers.
That's all for now (to those of you who made it this far). Be well!

Global RFID Printer Market to Grow at a CAGR of 4.9% by Key Vendors
DUBLIN, August 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
The "Global RFID Printer Market 2017-2021" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.
The global RFID printer market to grow at a CAGR of 4.91% during the period 2017-2021
Global RFID Printer Market 2017-2021, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the market landscape and its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.
One trend in the market is rapid technological advances. RFID devices can be integrated with other technologies such as Wi-Fi and real-time location system (RTLS). Retailers that require efficient inventory management systems demand highly advanced RFID devices. Currently, technologically advanced RFID semiconductor devices are being developed, keeping in mind the specific needs of customers.
According to the report, one driver in the market is increasing demand for better inventory management systems. The process of inventory management includes tracking, stockpiling, and predicting the future inflow or outflow of raw materials or goods. For production or manufacturing, it is necessary to know the stored or stocked-up inventory levels and track the movement of components in the production line. The level of inventory represents the number of resources invested in the final product. The mismanagement of inventory levels can cause operational losses.
Further, the report states that one challenge in the market is high cost of RFID solutions. Though RFID technology provides many advantages over other identification methods, it is expensive. Small and medium enterprises that do not have extensive disposable capital use barcodes as they are low-cost alternatives. The cost of implementing RFID technology is one of the major challenges in the global RFID market. The deployment and integration of management solutions (middleware) with RFID requires high initial investments. Most of the RFID printers cost around $2000-$7000, whereas the prices of barcode printers start at $115.

Refinance Your Mortgage With Bad Credit
Bad Credit Refinance Mortgage Tips
It happens. You run up the charges on some high-interest credit cards, so you get a couple more cards to cover unexpected expenses. A few missed payments later, and your credit score is dropping like a brick.
If you own property, you may be able to refinance your home and bail yourself out of a sticky credit situation. However, in the world of home mortgage refinance, knowing what you're getting into can mean the difference between repairing your credit rating and losing your home.
Home mortgage refinance basics
Bad credit refinance mortgages work much like other loans. Your lender examines your credit score and makes you an offer based on your past credit history. Usually, a poor credit history prevents you from getting financing. However, a bad credit mortgage uses your home as collateral, opening the doorway to lending.
Like all consumer loans, a bad credit score costs you in higher interest rates. Interest rates for bad credit mortgages are likely to be at least three to five percent higher than normal. Lenders may also charge you more handling fees or apply higher-than-normal finance charges in addition to a higher interest rate.
Tips for home loan refinancing
Your stakes are high in a home mortgage refinance deal. Since your real property is at risk, you should carefully consider your options before taking on the risk. Here are a few pointers to consider.
- Get credit counseling. Before you start the process of refinancing your home, talk with a debt counselor, and create a plan of attack to handle the bills. Although home loan refinancing will lower the monthly expenses from credit cards and other types of installment debt, the process exposes your home to the risk of liquidation and foreclosure. Be careful.
- Wait. Since displaying responsible behavior over time can improve a bad credit score, waiting several months while paying your bills on time can net you better terms on a bad credit refinance mortgage. Market conditions can also affect mortgage finance terms, so patience is definitely a virtue when you're searching for home loan refinancing.
- Limit the amount. Bad credit refinance mortgage lenders will often offer you a pre-set amount of money as part of the refinancing deal. Try to keep the refinance amount as low as possible so you have the best opportunity to pay off the debt.
Overall, a bad credit refinance mortgage can help you get back on financial solid ground, provided you're careful with your finances and take your responsibilities seriously.
Don't wait for the sky to fall on you or your family. Check your credit score regularly, get counseling, and develop a plan to get out of bad credit debt.

I am not sure what I love more? The sound of the waves rolling in, sand between my toes, the warm sun kissing my skin or the sounds of children laughing and playing.
Heading off to the beach for the day can be a logistical nightmare, so we have come up with a list of Mummy Beach Bag essentials to help make your day out pleasant and stress free.
Invest in a good quality beach bag.
We recommend il Tutto's beach bag 'The Queenscliff'.
The Queenscliff beach bag is large in size and is made from canvas and PVC. This bag is strong and durable and ideal for wet environments.
Features include:
- Two large waterproof zip top compartments
- Large back zip pocket for valuables
- Silver waxed coated canvas front and back is water resistant and can be easily wiped clean
- Colour pop - handles and highlights
- il Tutto monster teddy charm
Purchasing a good quality bag is a good investment, as it will continue to provide you with good service for years to come.
These might include:
It is always a good idea to pack a small icebox with fresh food. Pack snacks that are nutritional easy to eat and with minimal fuss!
Remember to take any empty food containers and bags home with you at the end of the day and keep our beaches clean.
Invest in a good skin sunscreen i.e. SPF50+ (approved by the skin cancer council). Remember to reapply throughout the day, especially after swimming.
I find the spray on sunscreens particularly good, as they are easy to apply and less messy.
A must have for any hot day. I recommend a wide brimmed hat to keep the sun off your face, shoulders and neck.
Baby wipes are essential for any Mom. They are so useful for cleaning up the little hands and faces.
Pack your children's favorite bucket and spade along with any other robust toys that will handle the salt water. It is a good idea to take a mesh carry bag for beach toys. This way the sand falls through the mesh and you avoid taking too much sand home.
It is a great idea to pack a large blanket to sit on. This way you have a dry sand free area to sit on, leaving your towels for drying yourself only.
Choose good quality swimmers that are UPV 50+ tested. They will help to protect your skin from the harmful UV rays and will last longer.
Rosewater swimwear for mothers is a swimwear brand designed specifically for pregnant and nursing mothers.
Features include:
- Flexible wire for added support
- Fuller bust capacity
- Built in shelf for support
- Racer back design for lift and comfort
- Designed to accommodate a growing belly
- Drop down cups for feeding
Pack a change of clothes. Most beaches will have shower facilities available to rinse off and get rid of any excess sand.
Clean dry clothes will ensure comfortable children who are less likely to complain on the drive home.
A large plastic liner for the boot is always a great idea. This way you can place all of your damp, wet and sandy beach gear into the car without making too much of a mess.
Items can then be removed from the car when you get home and rinsed out at your convenience, ready for the next trip.
We are super excited to be giving away il Tutto's Queenscliff beach bag.
1. Simply leave a comment on our Instagram page under the beach bag post for your chance to win.
2. Tag two (2) friends.
Competition ends July 8th 2016 EST.
Good luck!

But aside from that (and the language barrier- Montreal denizens speak French first and English second; and I can barely even speak English after a few beers!); a good time was had by all.
The Montreal Beer Fest is swell, heavily recommended. And Pot is omnipresent. Everywhere you walk around you smell it. Thankfully, most venues no longer allow cigarette smoking inside, and that has really helped the air quality at the bars.
And the great thing when you're in another country ... the money doesn't mean anything! It's like Monopoly money! Especially when you're drunk.
They're a shitload of street punks up there too, good to see that segment represented. The only time we ran into any kind of trouble with the locals was when my buddy jay-walked and he was politely requested by a constable to wait for the green light.
So, as I am still a little foggy, I offer songs to commemorate a drunken, wasted time.

Dear Innsbrook Nature & Wildlife Enthusiasts,
Welcome back with the Spring 2015 edition of our Innsbrook community newsletter on Living in Harmony with Nature & Wildlife. In this our 4th issue we share info about a guided spring nature hike, Great Backyard Bird Count results, wild neighbors and alien invaders, groundhogs Phil and Phyllis, spring nature journal entries, and a guest blog on bird watching from IBK's resident Wild Bird Guy Steve Taylor. We hope you find something of interest or inspiration that reminds you how lucky we are to have an Innsbrook that showcases what makes outdoor Missouri so special.
Naturalist Led Nature Hike on April 26
We were excited to learn that due to our group's enthusiasm and request, the Innsbrook POA will be organizing a series of naturalist led hikes along our many nature trails during 2015. The first hike will be on Earth Day weekend Sunday, April 26, at 10:00 am along the Tyrolean Trail below the Alpine Dam. The hike will be led by Leslie Limberg who is a Missouri Master Naturalist that is passionate about Missouri wildlife stewardship all seasons of the year. The hike will be in two sections, each of about an hour in length with a break in the middle, so you can choose to do one or both sections. We will meet at the trailhead parking lot just below the dam. Remember to bring tick spray, water, and apparel for rain or shine.
Thawing Out From Our Winter Valentine's Day Hike
Despite frigid temperatures with the wind chill dropping into the single digits, a dozen IBKers braved the elements for brisk 2.5 mile hike from the farmhouse to the site of the new amenity center and back. The trail took us behind the horse pastures – where the horses looked cold too – to alongside the meandering Charrette Creek. Here's a photo of our well-insulated team warming up with hot chocolate to prepare for the hike.
Great Backyard Winter Bird Count
It was another great year for the annual Audubon sponsored global bird count. According to the Audubon website, people from over 100 countries submitted a record 147,265 bird checklists. There were over 5,000 species reported, representing nearly half the probable bird species in the world. There were 5 submissions from our own Warren County. We are proud to say that at Lot 2210 we counted the most species; 19 in 15 minutes. Although we have to admit that we started the counting period just as we witnessed a bald eagle and immediately after filling the bird feeder! Check out the results at Great Backyard Bird Count.
Wild Neighbors: We Choose to Live in Their World
If they're cute we call wild animals charming "critters" and spend hours watching them as they go about their business and raising their young. Otherwise, they get called "pests" and then unfortunately some call the exterminator. Please remember that the deer, raccoons, groundhogs, lizards, foxes, squirrels, opossum, coyotes, snakes, frogs, turtles, rabbits, owls, geese, beavers, and other critters we have at IBK are the native residents, and that many of us moved out here to be closer to them for better or worse. That huge black snake may be scary the first time you spot it, but at least you won't have mice living in your BBQ grill. The hawk that rips at your turf may be chasing moles out. We personally try hard to live and let live with only a few relapses we confess to having over our years at IBK. For more information on cohabitating with your wild neighbors visit the Humane Society site http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/wild_neighbors.
Goundhogs Phil and Phyllis
This year a pair of groundhogs, aka woodchucks, have chosen our rock landscaping wall as their very own resort rental, and we have vowed to let them be. We call them Phil and Phyllis with a photo below of shy Phil (we think) guarding the burrow entrance. Here's nine things we discovered from National Geographic about groundhogs, with a few that may test our vow of living in harmony with nature: http://voices.nationalgeographic.com/2014/01/31/9-things-you-didnt-know-about-groundhogs/. Check back this summer to see how we are doing!
Alien Invasion: Bush Honeysuckle
A plant that is definitely not native or harmonious to Missouri, Bush Honeysuckle, is easy to spot as it is one of the first to start greening in the spring. While vine honeysuckle is a native, the bush variety is an invasive species brought from Asia in the mid 1800's for landscaping and erosion control. Infestations of honeysuckle crowds out the forest understory, blocking sunlight for other native plants and competing for soil moisture. The tubular white flowers attract pollinators away from the natives, while the berries produced are carbohydrate rich and do not provide migrating birds with the high-fat food that they need for long flights. If left unchecked they can quickly overrun a property or entire forest as shown in the video at http://stophoneysuckle.org/. Try pulling it out by hand for small plants and for larger ones cut it off at the stump. We occasionally hike with clippers! Visit MO Dept of Conservation – Control Bush Honeysuckle for more information on keeping this bush off your property.
Chirps from the Bird Man Steve Taylor who pens our featured guest column this issue:
What a great time for bird watching! Who can ignore the joyous cacophony of the birds singing in the early morning, heralding in spring and a calling for a mate for the season? Both the year-round residents and the migrants sing: male Cardinals singing high in a tree or the warbling of the male Bluebird. Or the migrants from South America, like the Tree Swallows, Purple Martins and Barn Swallows, and the Eastern Phoebe, (the bird that will nest under decks and porches).
Ever notice the "Pair Bonding" of the Cardinal? A simple chirp by both the male and female after pairing–up for the season: Chirp (are you there?) chirp (yes, I'm over here, where are you now?) etc. Each pair has its own unique spacing in the chirps to avoid confusion. Also, there is the bonding-call of the Carolina Wren, another year-round resident. The male with is bellowing tweedle-tweedle or tea-kettle call followed immediately or often started before he is finished, by the females chatter.
And don't forget the Hummingbirds; they typically start arriving or passing through Innsbrook about the middle of April. You can track their migration at: www.hummingbirds.net /map.html.
If you feed Hummingbirds; do not forget the 4 parts water to 1 part white table sugar ratio. And change the nectar 2-3 times a week (more often in the hot and humid weather) if possible to avoid the sugar water molding.
These are just a few of the birds that can be seen here at Innsbrook because of the diverse habitat. So find your favorite spot to sit and relax and enjoy all that IBK offers to our birds!
Village Garden Club
The Village of Innsbrook's popular Garden Club will be hosting its first meeting of the new year on Friday, April 17, followed by an annual plant sale on Saturday, May 9. The feature of this year's plant sale will be shade plants that are deer resistant. Helpful hints about deer-proofing rural landscapes can be found on their website at http://www.gardenclubatinnsbrook.org/.
Spring Nature Journal
The book "Keeping a Nature Journal: Discover a Whole New Way of Seeing the World Around You" by Clare Leslie and Charles Roth has helped us to see a totally different Innsbrook right outside our door. Here's what we noted in our journal this past month of many firsts: first bluebird spotted atop their new home (3/6); first moths fly on the first day above 70 degrees and on the very same day the last lake ice melts (3/9); squirrels cavorting in the forest canopy (3/10); first Geese pairing up on Lake Konstanz (3/11); first bat spotted of the year (3/12); first wasps and flies come out (3/13); first bluebird nest appears (3/15); spring peeper frogs heard singing (3/16); daffodils pass 2 inches tall (3/17); worms crossing roads overnight after the first day above 80 degrees (3/18); first crocus flowers emerge (3/22); daffodils in full bloom coinciding with the last snow and freeze of the season (3/27); frogs crossing roads overnight in the rain and some get left behind (3/31); first wild dogwoods bloom in the forest (3/31); and first mayflowers emerge on the forest floor (4/4). Some of these entries from this year are running a week ahead of last year's which had an unusually harsh winter. While these dates often vary from year to year what's so important to note is that some emerge based on the temperature while others do so based on the duration of sunlight in the day. If you are a light based critter but your food supply is based on temperature, a late spring can leave you scrounging for food.
Updates on Website and Field Guide
We hope to start publishing our newsletter to our new website where we can share photos, archive editions, and provide a community blog for sharing your wildlife sightings and journal entries. Our Winter newsletter was kindly posted by Innsbrook and is available at http://www.innsbrook-resort.com/blog/guest-blog-ibk-wildlife-and-nature-enthusiasts-1. We are also collaborating with Innsbrook to produce a pocket field guide to the many natural amenities that are open for business 365 days a year for all of us to enjoy.
Closing Nature Quote

I love spring. I love tulips and I love all the colors of spring flowers that can make a beautiful spring landscape. I have been collecting photos of some of the tulip color combinations I have seen around town so I can make a plan for my garden. I hope these photos give you a few ideas as well! (double click on the photos to enlarge the photo)
In the first photo, there are yellow daffodils, red tulips, pansies in yellow and beautiful purple violas or you might call them Johnny jump ups and lastly, purple hyacinths. In front of the bed are the greens from crocus flowers that are now done. I love the hot color and contrast in this one.
In the second photo you see the quiet pastel pinks blended with cool blues (Grecian windflower-Anemone blanda) behind them. One great characteristic of the windflowers is that they are in bloom for a couple of months- if you have a large clump of them. They start blooming in March and slowly dwindle down in mid May.
In the next photo is another bright combo of orange and yellow tulips, blue hyacinths, yellow, purple and white pansies and purple with yellow violas. Excuse the weed in the middle and the dead ornamental cabbage in front- this is a municipal flower bed in the middle of Main Street, Meridian, Idaho (notice the car tires at the top of the photo).
I had to stop my car on the way to work and jump out and get a photo of this awesome vignette of flowers, garden bench, vintage milk cans and skulls. Pink, purple, blue and white hyacinths are in front and the red, yellow and orange combo tulips hover from behind. The bark texture on the tree and the metal decor on the bench add depth and dimension to this interesting gardenscape. What do you think of this one? I like it!
The next color combo did literally stop me in my tracks at the Meridian Village, the colors are hot and bright and the tulips are very exotic. I'm guessing here, but I think the fuschia ones are lily-flowering tulips, the yellow ones might be Kaufmanniana tulips, but I'm not sure, maybe a double fringed tulip. The brilliant colors are WOW.

Friday, 9 April 2010
Sarah & Simon got married at the charming Tetton House in Somerset. They chose to have an outdoor humanist ceremony on the courtyard surrounded by a vast dramatic landscape. Humanist ceremonies are very similar to civil ceremonies as a concept but they are much more personal as you want to be involved in its content. They do not fit with any religion or institution. They are designed to suit your personalities with care. Sarah and Simon are two beautiful and shy people whose special day was full of respect and harmony.

Some over-the-top prose from GQ's feature about martial arts enthusiast/failed presidential assassin Everett Dutschke and Kevin Curtis, the Tupelo-based Elvis impersonator he appears to have framed for the job: "Spend a week or two in Tupelo, Mississippi, and you begin to wonder if the air down here perhaps contains an element that causes dreams to ignite and burn hotter and stranger than elsewhere in the world. What are the dreams that catch fire in this town? They are dreams of rock 'n' roll; of valor, metamorphosis, and ruination; sex and betrayal; of the government and shadowy forces; of the grand dream, American ... How else to understand a man like Kevin Curtis, one of northeastern Mississippi's preeminent Elvis impersonators, whose life was nearly ruined by the sight of a severed head on a refrigerator shelf?" Good question. Conspiracy-obsessed peckerwoods, maybe?
Miley Cyrus seems to be having a good time with the rumor that she and Memphis' king of clubbing Juicy J are expecting a little twerker of their own.
Adele in Memphis?
London tabloids are reporting that British pop singer Adele will play Dusty Springfield in a forthcoming biopic set during the recording of Dusty in Memphis. There's still no word as to whether or not any of the film will be shot in the Dan Penn Memorial Family Dollar on Chelsea and Thomas, where Chips Moman's American Studio once stood.

The goal of Source Code Berlin is not only to showcase the phenomenon that is Berlin as a creative city, but also to take a curious and critical look at the why and how it all works at the individual level.
We want to focus on creativity and innovation in fields related to open source technology. Focusing on the key factors that have made Berlin into a magnet for new and interesting ideas from around the EU and the World. This would include aspects of lifestyle and experience of individuals; why they came (or plan to come) and what obstacles they faced in doing so.
It also looks at places within Berlin, how hubs for such projects evolved into such success stories. Within those spaces and among those individuals the blog looks at the personal and organizational politics that either help or hinder their work. This includes questions of gender, age, and various other socio-cultural elements.

Welcome to Health Canada Approves… where we ask you to determine which products have been licensed by Health Canada's Natural Health Products Directorate.
I took a brief hiatus last week to finish up my series on magical thinking, but am back in the saddle and ready to discuss the results from our latest poll:
- Horny Goat Weed: TCM used to tonify the kidney and fortify the yang, for symptoms such as frequent urination, forgetfulness, withdrawal, and painful cold lower back and knees. (59%, 19 Votes)
- Dr. Yang's Qi Tonic: Envigorates the blood Qi to remove Damp-Heat from the bladder and splenic systems; tames the fire dragon. (41%, 13 Votes)Loading ...
A not-quite-filibuster-proof majority of you correctly guessed that Horny Goat Weed is indeed the real Health Canada approved product, bearing Natural Health Product Number 80015409 as proof of its safety and efficacy.
Scott discussed this product in his Skepticamp Toronto talk, which he summarized in a post earlier this week. He captures all of the points I would have made:
- The recommended use — "tonify the kidney and fortify the yang" — is clinically meaningless
- There's no evidence on PubMed or the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database that it's effective for any of the numerous and disparate symptoms it's recommended for — "frequent urination, forgetfulness, withdrawal, and painful cold lower back and knees"
- The contraindications — "in patients with fire from yin deficiency" — are a travesty of consumer protection
So after a qualified success in our last installment, this week represents a triumphant return to form for Health Canada — that form being unmitigated failure. Where will next week take us? Vote below to find out. And remember, the real product "has been assessed by Health Canada and has been found to be safe, effective and of high quality under its recommended conditions of use."
- Neuro-Heel: Homeopathic preparation used for the treatment of bodily symptoms caused by mental or emotional disturbances, nervousness and emotional exhaustion. (56%, 19 Votes)
- Xiaobo: In Chinese herbalism, works to trap and expell free radicals (44%, 15 Votes)Loading ...
Answers next week…naturally!

Media releases
University records Victoria-best increase in applicationsPosted: Wednesday 18 January 2017
Federation University Australia has recorded a 16 per cent rise in first preference applications, the largest percentage rise of any Victorian university this year, according to VTAC figures released today.
The increase in the number of offers made this year by FedUni compared to 2016 also saw a seven per cent rise in early and main round offers.
These strong figures coincide with the launch of the University's Berwick Campus this month and the announcement of 1403 first round offers to Higher Education students for the 2017 academic year.
A further 130 places also have been offered for TAFE students.
"The University is proud to record such healthy interest from students and offer more than 1500 places throughout all of our campuses," Professor Andy Smith, Acting Vice-Chancellor, said.
"This is an excellent start to the year and we wish all of our new and current students well for their studies in 2017.
"Students will be delighted to know that FedUni is ranked number one in teaching quality, student support and full time employment by the Federal Government's Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching."
Professor Smith said FedUni would continue to emphasise the potential of new students to succeed rather than just the value of their Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR).
"We believe our students are more than a numerical value, a ranking, based on high school performance that is too often a source of angst for many high school students," Professor Smith said.
"Our Open Access Selection Model allows more opportunities for students to study a higher education degree.
"It is based on applicants meeting prerequisite study scores rather than a minimum ATAR. It recognises a student's potential to succeed at university study."
In recent years a growing number of university places offered across Australia are made up of students who do not have an ATAR.
More than 50 per cent of new university students are mature age, international, vocationally qualified or have applied direct through alternative systems.
"Our close community links in Ballarat, Gippsland, the Wimmera and Berwick play an important role in the design of our programs, providing students with the necessary skills and employment prospects upon graduation.
"Our Industry Placement Program also allows businesses to tap into the next generation of employees," Professor Smith said.
"It enhances the students' academic studies with workplace experience."
Student support is also a major focus at Federation University Australia. Our comprehensive pathway and transition support programs and a firm commitment to student wellbeing is why more students are choosing to study at the university.
"We are among the nation's fastest growing universities. The addition this month of our Berwick Campus will be of significant benefit to South-East Melbourne students seeking higher education," Professor Smith said.
"We stand proud of our 147-year history providing tertiary education throughout Western Victoria, Gippsland and now Berwick."
If you are interested in further study at FedUni please email email@example.com or call 1800 333 864.
