AvantCredit is changing the way people borrow money.
We understand that going to the bank for a loan can be a long and frustrating process. That's why our loan application is fast, easy and 100% online. AvantCredit is BBB accredited with an A rating in the U.S. We've been around since 2012 and have provided loans to over 450,000 consumers globally.
AvantCredit operates in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom
No, AvantCredit does not offer payday loans.
Payday loans tend to be for smaller amounts and for shorter terms (generally two weeks). Since the full amount needs to be paid back within a short time period, borrowers will often refinance the loan multiple times, accruing high interest rates that can range from triple to quadruple digits when converted to an annual percentage rate (APR).
AvantCredit offers personal loans from $2,000 to $15,000* at competitive interest rates starting at 9.95%**. Our loan terms range from 12-60 months, which makes the monthly payments more affordable for borrowers. See our rates and terms page for more information.
We offer unsecured installment loans. When you get a loan through us, it will amortize over time with set monthly payments.
Interest rates: 9.95% - 45.95%**
Terms: 12 - 60 months
Loan amounts: $2,000 - $15,000
Check our rates and terms page to see what loan terms are offered in your province.
Unsecured loans through AvantCredit have no prepayment penalty and no origination fees. The only fees you will be held accountable for on our loans are the interest accrued on your loan and dishonoured payment fees, if a payment is returned to us due to insufficient funds.
A transparent fee structure is a top priority at AvantCredit, so you'll always know how much you owe for each installment.
All loan applicants are required to have a personal chequing or savings account and be at least the age of majority in your province.
We accept all applications from a variety of credit backgrounds. We look at several other factors than credit score when we make our final decision, such as income, debt to income ratio and repayment history.
We are only able to process one loan per household. Your spouse may apply after 30 days have elapsed and the current loan associated with your household has been paid off for five days.
Unfortunately, AvantCredit does not allow cosigners at this time.
Unsecured loans offered through AvantCredit do not require collateral.
You are welcome to reapply for a loan within 30 days after your original decline date.
If you were declined, it could be due to a variety of reasons. We review a number of factors including your credit score, repayment history, debt to income ratio, etc. The decline notice we provide includes important information on the consumer reporting agencies that we used to evaluate you for credit.
We think that paying off your loan should be just as seamless as applying for it. We provide our customers with the convenience of an automatic payment solution called Pre-Authorized Debits (PADs) . Payments are taken automatically out of your bank account. That way, you'll never miss a payment.
Manual payments are also available.
You can make additional payments from your customer dashboard. Please note that payments scheduled via the customer dashboard will be processed the following business day.
Simply follow these steps:
Alternatively, you can call one of our Customer Service Specialists at 844-411-6060 to set up an additional payment over the phone.
Payments can be made through Pre-Authorized Debits (PADs). Loan payments are automatically deducted from your personal account and cannot be manually scheduled through an online bank pay system.
We care about our customers and wish to help at every step of the loan process.
If you find that you're unable to make an upcoming payment or if you have missed your scheduled payment, call our friendly Payment Specialists at 844-411-6060. Our Payment Specialists are committed to getting you back on track by helping you set up a payment arrangement that fits your budget.
It's our goal to process and approve your loan on the same day you apply. If approved, you will be notified by email. The funds will be made available to your financial institution one business day after your approval, but please allow for a period of 1-3 business days for your institution to process the funds and deposit them into your account.
After applying for your loan, you will have the option to connect to our online income verification tool in order to verify your income. Connecting to this tool will significantly reduce your loan processing time. The income verification tool uses industry standard security measures and AvantCredit does not store, share, access or view your login information.
You may also be asked to send us your most recent pay stub, official bank statement, or tax filing documents. You can upload all documents via the customer dashboard, which you will see after applying for your loan. You can also email or fax these documents to us at firstname.lastname@example.com or 866-765-9122. Please remember that all electronic documents must be clear and legible, and provided in PDF or JPEG format. Please be sure to include your customer ID number on the front page of any faxed documents.

Yecla, SpainFabián Roncero captured a clear win in the 'Cross Fiestas de la Virgen' on Sunday and proved to be fully recovered from the fascia injury which prevented him going for a medal in the 10,000m at the European Championships in Munich last summer. The organiser's efforts were well rewarded as the start list featured 3 of the first 7 from the European Cross Country Championships held one week ago in Medulin (Croatia): Roncero himself (3rd), fellow countryman Enrique Molina (7th) and Portuguese Helder Ornellas (5th).
Before the 2 kilometre point Roncero took over at the head of the race for the first time but he fell on a gravel area shortly afterwards, continuing the bad run of luck he started in Medulin when he was forced to run without his left shoe from the 3rd km, but nonetheless manager to take the bronze medal. This time in Tecla, the 32-year-old Roncero got up quickly and caught the main group with ease.
By then, Kenya's Enock Mitei had decided to push the pace, while 5000m World Cup winner Alberto García stayed in close attendance, in his first cross country race of the season, alongside Molina, El Nasri, Roncero and Ornellas among others. The first remarkable contender to lose ground was Portugal's Paulo Guerra, far from the top form which had taken him to 4 European Cross Country titles in the past.
At halfway it was 10,000 European bronze medallist José Ríos who dropped from the leading group, still headed by Mitei as the rest of favourites held on. When they went through the 7th kilometre (20:40) Roncero tested the rest of the pack by picking up the pace dramatically and as a consequence Portugal's Ornellas, who fell while sprinting with 50m to go in Medulin, also lost touch.
At 8000m five men still had chances of winning, Mitei and Spaniards Roncero, García, Molina and El Nasri, but suddenly in the final kilometre Roncero unleashed a breathtaking kick to leave the other four with no chance. Former World indoor 3000m bronze medallist Molina was in pursuit although he never looked like catching Roncero, who romped home 30m clear of Molina. Twice U23 5000m European champion El Nasri pipped Mitei for 3rd in the closing stages as García completed a classy top five.
A delighted Roncero declared: "Honestly, I hoped for this victory. My only worry was that I had run 200 kilometres this previous week and I really didn't know how my body was going to react". Asked about his forthcoming performances the man who topped the 2001world list in the half marathon with a 59:52 clocking in Berlin confirmed: "Probably, my next competition will be in Madrid (San Silvestre Vallecana) on December 31".
On this sunny day 28-year-old Merima Denboba, 6th in the long race at the World Championships in Dublin last spring, was the favourite and she lived up to her status by dominating from the gun. The race soon developed into a three-way battle between Denboba, Kenya's Selina Kosgei and Portugal's Ana Días; meanwhile, the European 5000m champion Marta Domínguez was running conservately in the chasing pack making her debut this season.
Demboba sped away from the rest of the field within the opening kilometre while Kosgei and Días duelled for another kilometre before the Kenyan pulled clear of Días. At halfway it was clear that, barring disaster, the eventual winner would be Ethiopia's Demboba as she had already built a 15 second lead. Far venid, Spanish hero Domínguez ran at marathoner María Abel's shoulder confident of her higher track speed.
Demboba, runner-up in the long race at the Worlds in Belfast 1999 finally won by the handsome margin of 18 seconds over a tiring 10,000 Commonwealth winner Kosgei competing for the 4th week in a row, while Días came a safe 3rd never threatened by Domínguez, who outsprinted Abel in the final straight to cross the finish line in fourth place, some 40 seconds adrift of Demboba.

A lot of readers asked me this question. I get it, it's hard to promote yourself. It's even embarrassing, because we are musicians/pianists, we are artists, we are not for sale. But hey, don't think about it in that way. If you want people to know you, you have to get out there and literally tell people that YOU EXIST. So here are a few pointers as to how to promote yourself in order to build a successful and thriving music studio of yours:
1. Start a blog
Share with your existing and potential students what you've got: what you know about music, piano and teaching. Just write something short and simple at the beginning few lines every day, about what you've learnt and taught in lessons or some tips on practice and playing. Eventually you can write more and add more substance in your posts.
2. Record videos
Record videos of your students playing in lessons or even your own playing. Teach people some basic music theories, like how to read or identify chords.
3. Write something about yourself
Write about your educational qualifications, your experience in performance and teaching. Tell people about your teaching philosophy and style: it's important for your potential students (and especially their parents) to know about your personally.
4. Share your experience
People want to connect with those whom they feel familiar with. If you share your experience with your readers, they already feel like they know you before they've even met you-and I know that from my personal experience. Be authentic and genuine.

Recent reviews
Fabulous 8.6 From 1,424 reviews
Stayed at Pacifica for my wife's 40th birthday party with two other couples. Aldo and the staff did an incredible job fulfilling our every need and made it a very special trip. Thank you Aldo and everyone at Pacifica and the other PB properties for a superb job!
It was amazing!
The resort was nice overall but their technology was lacking. Our door failed to respond to the electronic key on two occasions requiring maintenance to be called to get the door open both times. The remote control was low on batteries to the point it barely worked. Finally, the system crashed while we and several other guests were trying to check out creating an upset group of people because they had shuttles and taxis waiting to take them to the airport. Overall the resort was well maintained awry from the lacking technology.
We booked a beachfront suite with a butler (concierge), worth every penny. Romantic, quiet getaway, away from the hustle and bustle of the party scene. Great views, amenities, service.

RP Data's Cameron Kusher has published the following excellent blog post on RP Data and Rismark's new daily index:
RP Data along with our strategic partners Rismark International released two world firsts this week;
1.the world's first genuine "daily" house price index suite, which will cover all the major cities and the national market.
2.the world's first house price indices that track the change in the value of the overall asset class rather than simply tracking changes in the performance of just those properties that transact.
Obviously this is a new way to measure housing markets and as such there are a lot of questions around how we can produce such a high frequency / low volatility measure which is just one day in arrears. The points below explain how the index is calculated and how we, together with Rismark International, produce the most timely home value index ever.
*The methodology used is an improvement on our existing hedonic methodology. It provides a more accurate measure of the housing market by utilising what is known as a hedonic imputation methodology (the previous methodology was an adjacent period hedonic calculation). Although these measures are both calculated using a hedonic regression methodology there are significant fundamental differences on how the results are calculated.
*The hedonic method allows us to understand the value associated with each attribute of a property (ie, land area, living area, bedrooms, bathroom, location, view, car parks, etc.) we observe selling. As such we can then 'impute' the value of dwellings with a given set of known characteristics for which there is no recent sales price by observing the characteristics and sales prices of other dwellings which have recently transacted. It then follows that changes in the market value of all residential property comprising an index can be accurately tracked through time.
*The most important difference is that the new methodology is calculated based on the entire housing market, not just those properties that transacted over the reporting period. Previously we would bundle all the transaction data we had collected over a month and calculate the index results using data from only those homes that had transacted in the period. We previously did this by observing only sold properties in a given month and used the hedonic method to separate price changes associated with the differences in the composition of the various properties trading month to month from those changes associated with variation in the underlying residential property market value, whereas the new imputation method 'imputes' the value of all properties utilizing all know data up to the date of calculation
*The annual volatility measurement of the new imputation based index is about the same as the previous adjacent period measurement. Thanks to the daily frequency, for the first time ever we can now see intra-month movements of dwelling values.
*The 'new' index imputes the value of every Australian home each day taking into consideration every single data point we knew about the housing market at the point in time of calculation. Factors such as lot size, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, car spaces and whether the home has a swimming pool or view are some of the hedonic attributes factored into the analysis. Based on a flow of around 1,400 new transactions received each day as well as a constant flow of new attribute data our most accurate view of the imputed value of the property market is updated each day.
*Unlike the previous methodology, the new imputation methodology does not get revised. Because the index is calculated using every data point available on the day, each day the index value updates it is incorporating the full set of attribute and transaction data available. Time variables are applied such that less recent sale information is benchmarked up to today using our knowledge of the most recent sales. While the most recent sales have the greatest influence on the change in the index, all of the information received on a given day (include sales we've just learned about which may have occurred a few weeks ago) are important in calculating the daily value. An important requirement of the design of the index and its subsequent audit, was that the index be an accurate reflection of current market conditions.
*The daily index which is being published is not seasonally adjusted. Given that the index has been designed to be tradeable (more on this below), the absolute change in dwelling values is the preferred measure. We are currently undertaking a review of the seasonal adjustment method used. A seasonally adjusted series will be available to our subscribers and we will be publishing a seasonally adjusted analytical series within our monthly summary in the coming months once our review is complete.
*The index is designed for high frequency publication to facilitate trading liquidity. The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) is a partner in this project and their intention is to build tradeable products from this index. Note that these products are not yet available and will be subject to regulatory approval. The daily updates are available at both the ASX web site and at www.rpdata.com.
*The daily index is only able to be produced due to RP Data's enormous investment in aggregating and collecting data and with a significant investment in processing infrastructure. RP Data spends more than $10 million dollars each year on data collection. The production of the indices each day takes approximately eight hours of processing time overnight on very fast servers. Imputing a value of every Australian property and calculating the change in those values overnight simply wasn't possible several years ago.

Ideas quotes by Nikola Tesla
Also aboutMediocrity, Loneliness, Solitude, Inventions, Creativity, Achievements, Illusion
I don't care that they stole my idea... I care that they don't have any of their own. Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born. There is something within me that might be illusion as it is often case with young delighted people, but if I would be fortunate to achieve some of my ideals, it would be on the behalf of the whole of humanity.

When I am... completely myself, entirely alone... or during the night when I cannot sleep, it is on such occasions that my ideas flow best and most abundantly. Whence and how these ideas come I know not nor can I force them. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

I try not to think about anything special while running. As a matter of fact, I usually run with my mind empty. However, when I run empty-minded, something naturally and abruptly crawls in sometime. That might become an idea that can help me with my writing. Haruki Murakami

Unless you're some kind of neat-freak, chances are your home office could use a little organizing. My desk space is usually a chaotic mess of to-do, already-done, and perhaps-I-should-do piles (which studies have shown is a sign of true creativity), but I recently got fed up with the mess and cleaned everything off. It's amazing how much more productive you can be when there are fewer distractions in front of you! (Not that the Internet isn't one big, fat distraction all by itself…)
Organize Your Home Office Day reminds us to take some time to clear off the clutter and reveal the beautiful surface of your desk. My desktop is actually a 4.5′-long piece of 1/2″ glass I found in my basement when I moved into my apartment. It was nice to finally see the surface I'd cleaned off and rescued from the damp dinginess.
My treasury of home office finds has a bit of a unique color palette inspired by the stained bamboo pen holders. I was a little difficult to find items that fit with the scheme, but I think I did an okay job! Remember to show the featured shops and items some love, and to visit my other Every Day is a Holiday treasuries here!
Click on the image to see the treasury on Etsy, complete with links to the featured shops and items!
"Every Day is a Holiday" is my Etsy Treasury project for 2014. I'm hoping to find unique and beautiful items that exemplify the holiday of the day—the sillier and weirder, the better! What's better than finding something worth celebrating each and every day?

Don't forget that Iron Chef Mom begins next week!learn more about it HERE and grab a button!
I L♥VE Halloween.
I'm not sure what my favorite part about it is. Maybe I just never really got tired of playing dress up as a kid? Or Maybe it's because my last house was built on a graveyard and we could see the old cemetery from our front yard? This cemetery was built before the civil war!
Can you just imagine some THING lurking around the corner?
Like maybe ...
I participated in a Zombie Doll swap. The theme was Zombie's in storyland. My partner said she'd love a Zombie themed doll from the Cat and the Hat.
What could be better than a Zombie Thing 2 and a decapitated Thing 1? Those two caused so much trouble alive...just think of the damage a Zombie Thing 2 could do!
To make the doll, I started with a premade doll form. I have never made a doll before and I wasn't about to learn a new skill for a swap.
For the jumpsuit, I traced around the doll form and cut the suit in two pieces out of fleece. So soft...and deadly...
Here's a secret for the applique:
Use your serger on a rolled hem setting. Go along the edges of whatever you want to applique...then stitch down with a regular straight stitch (or in this case, a hot glue gun.) So much easier! I don't normally use my serger unless I'm doing my faux applique.
I spent a lot of time pondering how to do the crazy THING hair. I thought about fleece, but I really wanted movement. I looked at individual feathers and that was hugely expensive. I went with the next best thing...a Feather BOA!
It came on a rope, so I was just able to hot glue it to the doll form. Lots of finger burns.
The face is done with pieces of felt and embroidery floss.
Little Miss loved the dolls and didn't want to send them away to my partner...

by Haroon Moghul (Religion Dispatches)
A closed mind is a terrible thing to behold. But it's a far worse thing to have to engage. And yet we must. This Saturday, the woman who murdered a complete stranger by shoving him into the path of an arriving subway train was arrested. Her name? Erica Menendez. Her target? Hindus and Muslims. Why? Because of 2001.
More than eleven years after the terrorist attacks, and the alleged murderer not only could not distinguish between a Muslim and a Hindu, but held both collectively responsible for the actions of a few—there are 2.5 billion Muslims and Hindus in the world. This is clear, cut-and-dried bigotry, of the typically ignorant kind.
You'd think recent events only further prove Islamophobia's dangerousness. But on the night of Erica's arrest, the usual cohort of anti-Muslim voices persisted in their denial of Islamophobia, considering it a "neologism" used by the left to silence their fair criticisms of Islam. Reality, as always, begs to disagree.
Islamophobia is anything but rational, fair, or grounded. Like climate change denial, it masks real threats and makes it harder for us to deal with them. America deserves a better conversation on Islam. One that has the room to acknowledge real threats and challenges,
but also enables us to make smarter choices, and deal with Muslims as we are: Human beings.
I'm not claiming to present a complete cartography. But what I have should help us navigate a far too familiar terrain. After all, why do we have to put up with absurdly ahistorical arguments, such as Pamela Geller's claim that "jihad" killed 270 million people—fanciful, hyperbolic, and almost endearingly fictitious? Not only is Islamophobia ridiculous, it has violent consequences.
I. It's (Always) the 1950's
Islamophobes often argue they're just criticizing Islam. But simply by prefacing an argument with "I have black friends," or concluding with it, doesn't mean you're not a racist. We have to look deeper to see if "Islamophobia" applies; I'll use the hijab, the headscarf worn by many Muslim women (for many reasons), to that end.
Through France's treatment of a Muslim woman's sartorial choices, we can better understand the transition from mere opinionated disagreement to legally sanctioned discrimination. Because while the former may be unreasonable or unwarranted, the latter is the kind of bigotry I'm most concerned by.
In France, Muslims in public schools are forbidden to wear the hijab—overtly religious symbols are seen as threatening of a uniform French identity that is, by the way, more of a project of flattening France into homogeneity than reflecting France's demographic reality. Meanwhile all women are forbidden to cover their faces in public spaces. This is so that Islam does not appear in public France.
The state does this to "reclaim" public space for secularity; in France, though, secularism is not neutrality. The culturally secular majority champions a statist secularism the effect of which is to restrict the visibility of a religiously defined minority. This is not racism per se, but I hope you can see the problematic overlap: most French Muslims come from France's former colonies.
And the colonial mindset continues to pertain. Islamophobia privileges the point of view of the allegedly objective outsider, who believes he knows Muslims better than they themselves do. Whether because of race, or because it's transcended race; whether because of religion, or because it has transcended religion; in all these scenarios, the West always knows best.
Indeed, the West may know best because the West can change. Islam, on the other hand, is frozen, stuck in what Dipesh Chakrabarty called the "waiting room of history." This is not, by the way, an exclusively French dynamic—the simple and inaccurate binary of a dynamic West and a static Islam, mired in the seventh century or a "medieval mindset" is stunningly common. And equally inaccurate.
Conclusions: The Islamophobe likes to speak on behalf of Muslims, and appoints himself judge, jury, and even executioner. This may be because while the Islamophobe believes he represents a dynamic civilization, the Islam he speaks for is assumed to represent a static and unchanging force.
II. Don't Ask, Tell
Addressing a panel at the 2011 American Academy of Religion Conference, Hussein Agrama illuminated the contradiction in the French government's restrictions on hijab and the niqab,or face-veil. France banned both on the argument that they were either the sartorial embodiment of a politically Islamic identity, the tip of an Islamist iceberg so to speak, or evidence of a gender unequal religious tradition.
Thus the French government assumed all women veil for the same reasons. But in her book,The Politics of the Veil, Joan Scott surveys French Muslim women—what a novel idea—and finds that few of these assumptions hold. Of course, the emancipation of the Muslim woman cannot be stopped by anything as irrelevant as the Muslim woman's opinions; to be liberated from objectification, she's objectified.
Consider the tension Agrama points out. If the veil is a choice (as most French Muslim women say it is) and not a religious obligation, then the French government can restrict it: French Muslims shouldn't object to not being allowed to practice a choice. But, Agrama went on, if the veil is a religious obligation, it must have been imposed coercively and must be banned by the secular state.
Islamophobes tend to prefer the latter.
They assume that Muslims must do whatever the Qur'an or the Prophet Muhammad tells them to. Not only have Muslims stopped using their brains, their nervous organs have atrophied from unemployment. Thus if a Muslim woman covers her head, it must be because she was forced to. The rationalists of the West, the free peoples of Middle Earth, must step in to liberate her.
III. If Islam Were a Race, Would Islamophobia Be Racist?
The right question to ask is why Muslims need liberation. Why can't they (we) liberate ourselves? There is a racist logic within Islamophobia, which presents from time to time in the way Muslims are described and treated. As a single, indivisible whole. And, of course, a miserable one at that. The formula? 'All Muslims are x,' where x is bad.
This also means that all Muslims are on the hook for what some Muslims do, and must constantly distance themselves from other Muslims—as if the whole must bear responsibility for the acts and faults of individuals. How does that make any sense, except in a racialized and dehumanizing way?
I'm not arguing that Islamophobia is racist, or that Islamophobes are racists, because that's not quite what's happening. For one thing, Islamophobes embrace ex-Muslims like Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and racists wouldn't (indeed couldn't) do the same. But consider the similarities: the Islamophobe must assume Muslims suffer some sort of pre-Islamic inferiority, sufficient to explain how some (largely non-white) people—actually, a lot of people—not only fell for Islam in the first place, but then stayed down. How long do enforced ideologies last? Nazism: twelve years. Communism: some decades. Islam: Fourteen centuries and counting.
Those are some dumb people.
But regardless of whether certain mental defects incline a person to Islam or whether after adopting Islam parts of your brain shut down—think zombie virus from The Walking Dead'sfirst season—the output's the same. If a Qur'anic verse seems to sanction violence, Muslims have no choice but to act on it. There is just one problem with this way of interpreting all of Islam.
Only a puny minority of Muslims acts in a violent manner, while the huge majority does not, though both are reading the same book. If Muslims don't act in similar ways, the problem isn't the Islamophobe's interpretation of Islam, it's anything else—perhaps the Muslims are practicing taqiyya! Or, perhaps, the Muslims don't understand their religion.
Islamophobes resolve the challenges posed by reality by dismissing it. Hence, they'll say things like "most Muslims don't understand Islam." This was the rebuttal Ayaan Hirsi Ali used against Zeba Khan during their Intelligence Squared debate on Islam. In her opening statement, Khan argued that her parents stressed tolerance as an Islamic value; Hirsi Ali responded that while that was very nice, it wasn't Islam.
Islam has one interpretation: theirs. Which happens to be—by chance, of course—the same interpretation extremists offer. Leave aside for a moment the conclusions and consider the methods by which Islamophobes get there. Were Islamophobes Muslim, they would be the Muslims they warn us about.
Islam can only be understood on their terms, they say. And their terms are violent and intemperate. Their strict literalism, inability to grasp context, gross and frequent generalizations, and mind-blowing ahistoricism make them into radicals, only on the opposite side of a chasm into which both have thrown decency, history, common sense, and reality. In place of analysis, they offer us a Xerox machine.
They reproduce themselves and call it Islam.

Unabashedly Obsessed Episode 78: Tom Rom Coms ("Joe vs. the Volcano", "Sleepless in Seattle", "You've Got Mail")
Hey, everyone! This week we delve into the THanks/MRyan (that's not a thing, Erin) trilogy of rom coms. Discussion points include: if one of you has been unconscious during the extent of your time spent with a person, probably you aren't in love with that person; since the 90s, stalking has gotten a lot easier and impromptu air travel has gotten a lot harder; and we know quite literally nothing about the origin story of "You've Got Mail", and yes, we did Google it later and discover just how wrong we were.
Podcast promo swap time! Remember Tim and Leon over at Yeah, G'Day? They're funny, they're Australian, and they're a damn delight. If you aren't listening to them, you should be.
Thank you to Jamie Chahine for our theme song, "Did You Guys Know There Was A Ladder Down Here?" and to Emily Kardamis (@corruptedgem) for our cover art. You can now find more of Jamie's music on his band's YouTube channel!

New Hope for Fading Memories: Alzheimer's Disease
Imagine walking into your kitchen and just standing there because you've forgotten how to prepare a bowl of cereal or toast bread. Add to this the nightmare of looking around and wondering where you are. Such is the average day for an individual suffering from a mind-robbing condition called Alzheimer's disease (AD). It is estimated that Alzheimer's affects as many as five million Americans and 26 million worldwide. And with the aging of our aging population, it is projected that the number of sufferers from this devastating disease will grow to 106 million by 2050.

A few months ago we went to a family get together with some of Jack's extended family. His Aunt Carrie is one of the best cooks I know. She always has something amazing whenever we get together and this was no exception. She made a delicious salad with poppy seed dressing and I could not get enough of the stuff. Fast forward to a few days ago when I saw a recipe for this dressing. I knew I had to try it! It was absolutely amazing! I think I've given up on store bought dressings. I'm a homemade type of girl now.
Poppy Seed Salad Dressing
1 1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. dry mustard
1 cup red wine vinegar
1 1/2 cups canola oil
3 Tbsp. poppy seeds
In a blender combine sugar, salt, mustard and vinegar. Mix well. Slowly add the oil and blend till thick. Stir in poppy seeds. Refrigerate until serving.

House Republicans want audit reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) before a hearing next week about its recent mishandling of live anthrax bacteria.
The House Energy and Commerce Committee wrote to the CDC and the Health and Human Services Inspector General (HHS IG) Wednesday for information on past CDC inspections.
Specifically the lawmakers want to know how many incidents of suspected and actual exposures to hazardous materials have been reported by the agency since October 2007. They also want to know how much the CDC spends researching and regulating hazardous materials and how much it cost the agency to recently shut down its labs after the anthrax scare.
The lawmakers have also asked the HHS IG for its reports from October 2007 detailing any "issues and vulnerabilities" at the CDC over its handling of hazardous materials.
The House Energy and Commerce subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations has scheduled a hearing next week to put CDC Director Thomas Frieden on the hotseat to answer for how mishandling of live anthrax put dozens of its scientists at risk of exposure to the deadly bacteria.
The letters to the CDC and HHS IG were signed by full committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-Mich) as well as Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee Chairman Tim Murphy (R-Pa), and Vice Chairman Michael BurgessMichael Clifton BurgessOvernight Health Care: Big Pharma looks to stem losses after trade deal defeat | House panel to examine federal marijuana policies | House GOP reopens investigation into opioid manufacturers Lawmakers express alarm over rise in cocaine overdose deaths Hillicon Valley: House passes anti-robocall bill | Senators inch forward on privacy legislation | Trump escalates fight over tech tax | Illinois families sue TikTok | Senators get classified briefing on ransomware MORE (R-Texas).

The Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle-earth hits your precious mobile
See Gallery
Then, it's time to build up your kingdom and its armies in order to forge alliances with friends and crush enemies. At first glance, Kingdoms of Middle-earth doesn't look terribly different from Kingdoms of Camelot: Battle for the North. Aside from new units, environments and the inclusion of hero characters from the upcoming film featured in these screen shots, the game actually looks quite similar.
That said, the trailer below for Kingdoms of Middle-earth looks quite exciting. This game is the first of two from Kabam that will be set around The Hobbit, so it would be worth your time just to see how the first game studio to release such a game handles the brand. Well, that and to see Gollum--everyone loves that guy.

Earlier this summer I wrote here on the blog about Dr. Brandon Withrow, a historian of Christianity who lost his faith while teaching at a faith-based institution. What made his situation unique is that he decided to be open about his loss of faith and leave his full-time position without causing a controversy. After reading his story, I contacted Brandon and had the privilege of Skyping with him about his journey and a host of other things. During the course of our conversation, I became aware of his most recent book (co-authored with Menachem Wecker), Consider No Evil: Two Faith Traditions and the Problem of Academic Freedom in Religious Higher Education (Eugene, OR: Cascade). Last week Brandon graciously sent along a copy of the book and I was so engrossed that I read it within the first two days. (By the way, this never happens. I am usually too busy to drop everything and read straight through ANY book.)
The book takes an in-depth look at some of the problems, pitfalls, and unique features of faith-based higher education here in the United States. The book is divided into four sections, each of which consists of a chapter from Withrow in which he discusses some element of Christian higher education followed by a chapter from Wecker, who then discusses Jewish higher education.
Part One is entitled, "Our Stories." Here both authors give an in-depth look at their individual backgrounds as they relate to the subject matter of the book. (I should say that the book was written before Withrow lost his faith but surely while that evolution was taking place. It would be interesting to see what he might add to the book today.) Part Two is entitled, "Our Traditions" and discusses the rise of Christian and Jewish universities, respectively. Part Three, entitled "Our Limitations," was simultaneously the most interesting and troublesome part of the book. I was especially interested in Chapter 5, "The Outrageous Idea of Christian Academic Freedom," as it dealt with so many of the controversies that have led to the termination of professors here in the US in recent years. The fourth and final part of the book is entitled, "Our Solutions." Frankly, I found this section to be somewhat depressing because the solutions mostly boil down to future job candidates being mindful of what they're getting themselves into. In other words, sweeping reform among schools that have the power to make an unwarranted decision to fire a faculty member is unlikely.
Perhaps the most important (and also depressing) insight I gained from this book is the realization that, regardless of the motivation behind terminating a contract, faith-based schools will continue to have the freedom to do so with legal impunity, at least here in the United States. Over and over again, the authors make the point that the courts consider these matters to be religious in nature, and therefore refuse to rule against a school that has terminated a faculty member. This means that such schools can (legitimately or illegitimately) claim that the termination was over an issue of religious import, and the professor in question has no recourse.
I really enjoyed this book and will likely use it (especially Chapter 5) when helping students understand the slippery role of Biblical interpretation in many of the non-essential matters within the life of different denominational groups. I will also recommend this book to those young scholars who are considering pursuing a post at a religiously-affiliated school. There is much to be gained from thinking through the issues Withrow and Wecker point out in the course of their various discussions. We should be grateful for both their wisdom and their honesty.

Lindy Bop (UK)
Material Composition:
97% Cotton 3% Elastane
A lovely bright dress, it boasts a beautiful neckline – almost heart shaped. It has an A-Line skirt, as well as a beautiful floral pattern; a repro print from the 50's. The piping around the bodice gives the dress a nice finish. I opted for a UK10. It's still a little too big on the shoulders, as well as across the chest area. However, a smaller size would definitely be too small. Perhaps it's the cut, I'm not sure, but it's a nice dress anyway.
Another thing I must point out; although this is great for summer, the material a little too heavy, which is not something I expected from my favourite material composition.
£9.00 in the sale (original price £30.00), plus £3.00 for shipping.

It gives a general right of access to all types of recorded information held by public authorities, with full access granted in January 2005. The Act sets out exemptions to that right and places certain obligations on public authorities. FOI replaced the Open Government Code of Practice, which has been in operation since 1994.Data Protection and FOI – how do the two interact?The Data Protection Act 1998 came into force on 1 March 2000. It provides living individuals with a right of access to personal information held about them. The right applies to all information held in computerised form and also to non-computerised information held in filing systems structured so that specific information about particular individuals can retrieved readily. Individuals already have the right to access information about themselves (personal data), which is held on computer and in some paper files under the Data Protection Act 1998. The right also applies to those archives that meet these criteria. However, the right is subject to exemptions, which will affect whether information is provided.

Anyway, I finished a pair today using yarn from my stash that I got about 3 years or so ago. I started the socks a year ago, frogged them, started again, frogged them. It all finally started going right in July when I cast on again. I think the fact my daughter got married in June and I had wedding stuff to work on put a serious cramp in my sock knitting mojo. Anyway, I'm glad they're finally done. I'm gonna have the brightest feet the west side of the Mississippi. LOL!

Matthew Ramieri has been working in bronze for twenty years. He studied casting at Hartford Art School, in Cortona, Italy and at the Johnson Atelier. He is passionate about sculpture and the lost wax casting process. Mr. Ramieri's vision was to build a company that would focus on what he finds important as an artist. This allows him to do what he loves by providing detailed, exceptional quality artwork for others.
Inspired Bronze quickly grew to offer not only fine art and casting services, but custom bronze and pewter sculptural awards as well. The Inspired Bronze Signature custom bronze and pewter award line was well received by clients globally and propelled the company into the award and recognition industry. Now, Inspired Bronze offers custom awards in a variety of award materials including crystal, glass and acrylic as well as a complete stock award collection housing thousands of award designs and materials.

Explore New Frontiers
From its inception, HackIllinois has ventured out into the unknown on a mission to build an exceptional and creative hacking culture. Join us on February 19th - 21st, 2016 for 36 hours of hacking, collaboration and fun.
University students of all skill levels are eligible to compete. We're looking for a diverse mix of technical students from any major to create exciting, eclectic hacks. If you are an interested high school student, please fill out the application; we will contact you if there are any troubles.
Teams' demos will be judged on several criteria including "Benefit", "Technical Difficulty", "Innovation", "Viability" and "'It' Factor". For more information about judging, please see hackillinois.org/judging.
Teams will not be told their scores during or after judging, and decisions by the judges and HackIllinois team are final.
How to enter
Each team is permitted one submission that must be received by 10:00am on Sunday, February 21st, 2016.Code submitted for judging must be produced only by team members and written during HackIllinois from the starting time on Friday, February 19th, 2016 to the submission time.

All code you create at HackIllinois is owned by you, and may be made open source at your discretion. By submitting a project, you and your team grant the HackIllinois team the unrestricted right to use your submission material, at no cost, for promotional purposes of future HackIllinois events.
HackIllinois Judges
Judging Criteria
This directly derives from one of our core values. We want hackers to contribute back to the field they're in, so that their work can better benefit the community in the future.
Technical Difficulty
Hacks can easily have a variety of ranges of difficulty. We want to reward hackers who demonstrate a large amount of technical prowess in the projects created.
Reinventing the wheel, no matter how awesome the wheel is, is quite banal. Exploration of ideas is a value that we want all hackers to pursue. HackIllinois is looking for novel hacks engineered from the minds of our creative hackers.
We are looking for hacks that are well-built and could easily be continued to become a viable product. The hack should be more than just a pitch.
"It" Factor
There are certain hacks that just cause you to say "WOW." It is up to the discretion of the judges to identify this intangible quality of a hack that just amazes people.

DescriptionAdd to Watchlist
NOTE: This car will not actually be for sale until AFTER July 15, 2018. The reason is we are currently detailing it and doing other work on it. Runs and drives great, everything works right down to the Bitchin Betty warning system. No holes in the leather seats. There were two small dashboard cracks, which we trimmed down and covered with a black dashboard cover. Pictures of the car shown in this ad are from when we first acquired the car last month, and the finished version should be much better. Body is VERY straight, and the main thing this Z needs is a good detailing from the engine bay, to the interior, and the exterior as well.
We are the second owners and have restored Nissans before. One of the pictures shows the last one we did, a 1997 D21 truck with 108,000 original miles that we brought up to zero issues. This Z car will be basically the same when we are finished with it. Once the ad is run in mid-July, we expect it will sell very quickly, so the reason for the ad HERE is in case anyone wants to make further inquiries before the car is actually for sale.
Original manual and other paperwork included. Comes inside that dealer-provided vinyl case.
Besides the complete detailing of the engine bay, interior, and refinishing of the exterior, we will also make any needed minor repairs. Not many will be necessary. Car runs great now, and we have known the previous owners for almost ten years.
I will provide our main email address for inquiries. It's pretty public anyway, so no big deal: adventurebooksofseattle @gmail.com
If you want to know more about us personally, just visit the website for Adventure Books of Seattle dot com. We're easy to find. I'm Robert on the Staff Page. My wife is Gayla. She is there, too. Please remember that the pictures you see for this ad were taken on the day we purchased this car for upgrade. If you want updated pictures, we can provide those to you in an email. And if you are truly interested, you really should see those before you go any further. We are Puget Sound residents since 1967, and very easy to find on the internet. NOTE: This is our first Z car, so I am not sure yet on all the options, but it seems to be fully loaded.

"Insurance is, arguably, only as effective as the way it pays claims," says a bulletin from Lloyd's of London, marking the first anniversary of its Claims Transformation Program, which, it noted, is "changing the way in which Lloyd's handles claims."
In February 2008, Lloyd's undertook a strategic review of its claims payment function, which "developed some key recommendations for making the process faster and simpler. Out of these, the Claims Transformation Program (CTP) was born."
A "pilot scheme" was launched in 2010, which was eventually extended to include "every class of claim, from marine to property and professional indemnity – transforming the Lloyd's claim process.
Lloyd's head of claims, David Lang, who oversaw the implementation of CTP, explained: "At the start of the program we set out four performance measures to tell us if we were succeeding – speed, quality, market perception and cost – and we've exceeded our expectations in all four."
"We've decreased the time it takes to respond to a claim transaction by 44 percent. Although that doesn't account for the time between transactions or the time it takes for an insured to file the claim, it's a massive improvement in the part of the process Lloyd's can influence."
"CTP is significantly changing the way in which insurance claims are handled at Lloyd's. Of the 215,000 open claims currently in the market, 11,000 are handled under the CTP and since 1 July this year all risk codes are now part of the CTP."
Lloyd's also stressed that the transformation goes beyond the processing part of claims management. It's also "about training people as well. So far more than 900 market adjusters have completed training, and brokers were told about the changes at the CTP Forum in April. For underwriters a 'decision tree' is available to help them implement the changes when they underwrite a risk, now the Program has been rolled out.
"With the Claims Transformation Program now live for every risk code, Lloyd's is well placed to build on its reputation for fast and fair settlement of valid claims."

Who Are We
We are the Mackey family, a dad; Thayne, mom; Michelle, and 2 children; Bella and Oren; with one of the last complete woolen mills in the United States. We started our life together in 1999 on the Mackey ranch just North of the Little Rocky Mountains out of Dodson Montana. Farming 2500 acres of organic crops, 1200 mother ewes and around 400 mother cows as well as horses and goats. As the family grew, the remoteness of the ranch began to tell on our lives. In 2008 we decided to change our lives in a major way and sell the ranch and move to a smaller farmstead 45 miles away near Malta. We then began to set up the woolen Mill. In 2005 we had bought the Baron Woolen Mill from Brigham City Utah and spent the next couple of years moving it north. 29 semi loads, 16 flatbed trailers and numerous pickups and hours we moved 405 tons of machinery home. We set it up 3 miles east of Malta and in 2011, after countless hours of work, blood and sweat, we had an operating woolen mill. We made the only 100% USA wool insulation for commercial and home use. Over the next few years we expanded to newer machinery, built, modified and improved machinery to make our wool scouring and processing better. Finally in 2015 we bought a new card, lapper and felting system to produce a wool product line second to none. We have developed the Montana Pure line of pillows, bedding and our Bio-wix reclamation mats. We can still do insulation on a custom basis…
With our experience and expertise with machinery, sheep and wool, we are able to have highest quality products and best production facility in the USA! We are still sheep people and work closely with the Montana Wool Lab, Montana State University and the Federal Sheep and Wool Projects and ARS.
The mill is easy to find, there's always coffee and sometimes a cold Made in Montana beer or something stouter as well… Follow us on Facebook for the trials and tribulations of Brookside Woolen Mill. We are on US Highway 2, on the way to Glacier Park, Stop by for a tour when you're coming through, you're always welcome!! The Shop cell is 406-654-4428.
Interested in Custom Products or Projects?
We do custom processing in SOME cases. Wool, Llama and Alpaca, we have done them all, and still do.
Wholesale inquiries welcome for pillows and bedding wool (mattresses, pads, duvets and custom work).
Advantages of Wool
100% Organic
Wool is a 100% natural project, still not duplicated in the laboratory. Wool can regulate temperature by absorbing and expelling moisture, maintaining a constant 'breathing' balance. Plastics, latex and foams, not so much...
Wool is hypoallergenic, Scientist say only 1 out of a Billion people are allergic to wool, with our mild soap and triple rinse washing system, your bedding will treat you well for years to come!
Insulation Values
Wool has an R49 per foot, and will retain 85% of that if completely saturated…. Thus the development of the Fisherman's Sweater… Synthetics, not so much...

The Argos DCS is another data collection relay system that adds
the benefits of providing global coverage and platform
location. The Argos program is administered under a joint
agreement between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) and the French space agency, Centre
National dýEtudes Spatiales (CNES).
The system consists of in-situ data collection platforms
equipped with sensors and transmitters and the Argos instrument
aboard the NOAA Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental
Satellites (POES). The global environmental data sets are
collected at telemetry ground stations in Fairbanks, Alaska;
Wallops Island, Virginia; and Lannion, France; and pre-processed
by the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information
Service (NESDIS) in Suitland Maryland.
Worldwide coverage is provided by this system. Additionally,
incorporating the Argos instrument on a moving satellite allows
for locating an in-situ platform using Doppler shift
calculations. This positioning capability permits applications
such as monitoring drifting ocean buoys and studying wildlife
migration paths.

Dress: Nordstrom / Shoes: Aminah Abdul love this frugal version / Sunglasses: Celine / Bag: Chanel / Necklace: Bauble Bar in Colbalt / Lipstick: Chanel / Bracelet: Swell Caroline / Ring: Kendra Scott
A fitted midi dress is one of my favorite things to wear! Especially one that forms to fit and flatter just about any figure. You can dress up this little black one with a slew of jewelry for sassy nights out or something daintier for a sweet date. I've even worn them with flats (WHAT?) and a military jacket to go shopping. With today's look I've gone for a cool downtown vibe with my 2 chains, some fun heels and a pop of pink.
At only $54 it's the gift that will keep giving for seasons to come!

It feels great to be doing this much sketching, and as always I love working in ink!
10 comments:
WOW, amazing! I am wonder if one of them is mine :)) Well, my Sunshine can be 2 of those wonderful sketches but I have to wait for the package will come :) I am so excited and can't wait for the receipt :)))ReplyDelete
the link for the waiting list doesn't work..can i leave there my name and request?ReplyDelete
I'd like to hop on the waiting list too, m'dear. I have a keyword all picked out for you :D These are looking lovely and so much fun!ReplyDelete
I adore the 5th drawing down (of the masked figure with horns) on that first sheet! This looks like wonderful practice as well. Are you sketching first and then inking or just letting the inks fly?
I'm also getting a 404 on that link.
I love the most the last sketch (from 3.jpg) and also 3rd from 5.jpg. 4rd from 5.jpg is also lovely. But all of them are wonderful :)ReplyDelete

I just got my shipment yesterday, and wanted to tell you that the sketch ("inspiration" in the top set) is absolutely perfect, and every single other item included (even your business card) was completely delightful. Thanks so much!ReplyDelete
Sorry, I fixed the link! Should work now. And I am doing a very quick pencil scribble first Angela. For the book sketches in the past I just did straight ink, no pencil; but the themes in these are disparate enough that I want to get some hint of an idea down first before inking.ReplyDelete
Very impressive, Stephanie! I always adore the flow in your ink sketches. Even more amazing to know you did the past ones without erasing. Thanks for the updated link! I dropped you a line:)ReplyDelete
Our package came today--awesome, and we really love our Centaur sketch! (My other half collects Centaurs. ;-)ReplyDelete
All the ones above are cool. It's great to see what other people are getting, so thank you so much for posting them. I especially like the one-handed handstand (love love love it), and OMG, I can't believe you did a manatee!!! :-D Groovy!
You rock, Stephanie.
I just got mine today! I loved the sketch (It's the 2nd in the bottom row, with the healer putting a hand on a child's head). I'm so happy I can't wait to take some time and practice reading!ReplyDelete
All the sketches are great, amazing work Stephanie! :)

A pedestrian who was struck by a pickup truck while crossing the street is now fighting to stay alive.
Tiffani Nichols, 58, was crossing the street-not in a crosswalk-when a truck traveling on the southbound side of the road hit her. Unconscious but still breathing, she rushed to a Scottsdale area hospital.
Now in critical condition, Nichols is fighting for her life. The accident left her with multiple injuries, although the extent of her injuries has not been disclosed.
Because speed and alcohol do not seem to be a factor, police say it's unlikely the driver will be criminally charged.
Recovering Compensation for a Pedestrian Accident
Victims of pedestrian accidents often suffer from serious injuries, mainly because the human body is not designed to withstand a collision with a moving vehicle weighing several thousand pounds. If you have suffered an injury in a pedestrian accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. However, to recover compensation, you must prove that the accident was caused by another person's reckless or negligent conduct. An experienced lawyer at the Knowles Law Firm, PLC can review your case to determine if another party is at fault for the accident, and then help you pursue an injury lawsuit for maximum compensation.
Contact the Knowles Law Firm, PLC today for more information about our services.


text: February is always such a short month but somehow, I've still developed some beauty favourites over the last four weeks. There are a few duplicates from my January picks but I decided that I was going to be a bit more relaxed with stuff like that this year, at the end of the day if I like something two or even three months running then I should definitely be shouting about it! So let's dive right in and check out my February picks.
