Tim Tebow recently signed with a Hollywood agency, so does that mean his next step is appearing on a TV show? According to the host of The Bachelor, that's a possibility.
The Bachelor host Chris Harrison said on Access Hollywood Live Monday he's talked with the Broncos quarterback about being featured on the show.
"I've actually met Tim Tebow," Harrison said. "I met him about becoming our next 'Bachelor. I think he'd be a great Bachelor."
Asked if Tebow was likely to accept the offer, Chris was pessimistic.
"Well, they always say yes, but it never happens," Chris explained. "He's a really good guy. He did say yes … but he would never do it. He has a little job called quarterback at least for another year."
Tebow has been in Los Angeles working on his throwing mechanics and found time to hang out with Fred Durst, dine with Taylor Swift, and attend Oscars parties the past few weeks. But going out a few nights a week during the offseason is much different than committing to starring on a reality TV show.
Given how devoted Tebow is to improving as a quarterback, it would be extremely surprising to see him accept the offer.

A genus in the Mint family that includes only 4 species, all aromatic subshrubs with silvery foliage and an open branching habit. The best of these is a native of Pakistan named, and it's one of the great garden plants of all time. This semiwoody perennial (more like a shrub than a perennial) carries a cloud of small blue flowers on widely arching stems that grow 3–4′ tall and as wide. The effect is a charming, airy haze of soft blue against silvery gray, pungently aromatic foliage.
Bloom begins in July and continues right through September, which makes Perovskia an exceptionally long-blooming perennial. Plants are vigorous and very hardy, ignoring heat, drought, and pests, while always looking fresh. A superb companion for pink Malva, Garden Phlox of every hue, Rudbeckia, Sedum, ornamental Grasses—you get the idea.
For more information on the growing and care of Perovskia, click Growing Guide.
The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.
We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the Shipping Details box for each item. Please refer to the Shipping Details box to determine the earliest shipping time. Unless you specify otherwise, fertilizers, tools, and other non-plant items are shipped with your plants or bulbs. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at expected time of delivery.
We guarantee to ship plants that are in prime condition for growing. If your order is damaged or fails to meet your expectations, we will cheerfully replace or refund it.

Al from Northbrook, Illinois
I could have puchase the same plant at a local gardening place for the same price and ten times as big as the plant I received. I planted it two months ago and maybe it's 6" tall. It will take years to reach it's potential.
Mama Rita from Denver, CO
I have had 2 plants for 5-6 yrs from WFF, and they have never looked like the ones all over town - Shocks of purple. You have to be up close to see any flowers on my 2 plants. They are at the front of my house, facing south, next to the alley, and they sure don't "greet me" as I drive in. Everyone else's I can see a block away.
The only plant in 26 yrs of ordering from WFF that has disappointed me.
The last 3 yrs I have tried watering more than once a week,once a week, and less than once a week. Same results each time each year.
I am looking at how full of leaves everyone elses is right now, and though mine are tall, the leaves are not thick and lush.
My iris, allium, muscari, hibiscus, lavendar, and ice plant have all done well in this bed.
Dixie Girl from Suwanee, GA
I don't know what happened to these other gardeners. I have two that have performed wonderfully. I like it resembles lavendar and it can withstand our very hot and humid summers and come back the next year
Bethany from Baltimore, MD
This was one of the first perennials I bought from WFF and it sold me on the company. However, I wasn't familiar with bareroot plants so was a bit surprised when the tangle of roots arrived. By the end of the first summer, these plants were so big, sturdy, and so consistently flowering even in terrible humidity and heat that I ordered a bunch the next spring for another bed. My neighbors love these and compliment them. They spread so you'll need to keep on top of them so they don't take over other plants.
Latin Name Pronunciation: pe-rof'skee-uh
Plant Perovskia in full sun and well-drained soil. Drought tolerant.
Leave the silvery stems standing over winter; prune back to just 8–12″ in early spring. In cold-winter climates, plants may be killed back to the ground but will resprout.

Super Coarse Hair
Hi, my name is Rozie. I grew up thinking that I had the worst hair in the world. I would wash and press it and I could never get it as straight as everyone else's hair. When ever I went to a salon, they would go on and on about how thick my hair was.
I had heard that the worst thing you could do was press your hair after relaxing it, so why were all the beauticians doing this to my hair? I thought I was a hopeless case. Then on day, I started cutting my hair off, do to the damage and breakage. I had no idea what I was doing and accidentally cut to close to the scalp.
All I could do to fix the problem was to cut it all that low. This ended up being the greatest thing that I had ever done. My hair was cut so low that I could not even grip it with my fingers. But as it grew back, I realized that my hair was very nice and it grew back pretty fast.
It took a while for me to decide that I wanted to go completely natural, because my hair is a force to be reckoned with. It is so thick that if you touch it after sliding the pressing comb through it, you will burn your hand. I have broke my share of combs and brushes and strained my heart muscle more times than I care to think of.
But the reason I came to this site is that I need to find a product that will enhance my natural curls without drying it out, like the styling gel does or leaving it overly goopie like the curl activator does. I want something that gives my hair a nice natural shine, without weighing it down. I also need something that will not cost a fortune. Because I have a head full of long, thick hair, I run through products much quicker than the average person. Any advice will be greatly appreciated, thank you.
Hey Rozie :) You are not alone. I have broken my share of combs also! Lol and i am a 3c maybe with a little 4a in the middle. But have you tried aloe vera gel? I like it because it give a nice hold but doesnt dry the hair out. And the brand i like, Fruit of the Earth, is a god price. I only paid three dollars! Im not sure what else to recommend you but welcome, and you can ask me questions if you have any :)
Hey Rozie, and welcome! I'm not sure if this would be helpful in any way, but coconut oil is actually pretty good. I just picked up a bottle recently and it has made my hair so soft and smooth.

The name Regalame came to be because of the quaint way Costa Ricans have of asking for something you have. "Regalame su sombrilla, por favor". This literally means, "Make a gift of your umbrella to me, please". How can you refuse? And it is a perfect name for a gift shop and art gallery that's been a part of both Villa Blanca and Si Como No Resort , where the first Gift Shop and Art Gallery was created by Lorraine Champagne over 15 years conveniently located between Quepos and the national park with 3 kilometers in either direction.
Regalame was born of an idea that there should be a gift shop and gallery representing products made in Costa Rica. Initially it took three years finding the local talent for wood, ceramic and pottery crafts. Painters were a little harder to find, but with perseverance and a real love of art they managed to assemble some of the finest and most popular artists living in Cost Rica.
The beautiful examples of tropical woodcrafts available in are by artists who have embraced the idea of sustainable practices creating art pieces and souvenirs from fallen wood rather than taking down a perfectly healthy tree.

LA Times' Malcolm: Democrats Unhappy With Obama Over Birther Story
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
That's the odd claim Andrew Malcolm makes today. Even more peculiar is the fact he doesn't quote a single Democrat, or provide a single link, to back up his wishful assertion.
Yes, the Times' Obama-hating blogger used to work as Laura Bush's flack. And yes, today his job revolves around either cherry picking polling data or making stuff up. (Nice work if you can get it.) But no, Malcolm is definitely not plugged into Democratic D.C. circles.
And that's what makes this passage from his birther-related blog entry so entertaining [emphasis added]:
Within minutes, of course, online critics were predictably questioning the document's legitimacy. Less predictably, D.C. Democrats also privately questioned the timing and wisdom of their party leader's action. Why three years of stonewalling over personal privacy to hide nothing worth hiding?
Why do it on Wednesday and drown out the more desirable orderly transition story of crucial national security staff changes (Robert Gates out at Defense, Leon Panetta in as replacement and Gen. David Petraeus as the new CIA director). Those and other changes will be officially announced this morning.
And why, of all things, did Obama release the certificate to appear to cave to the mediagenic demands of Donald Trump, the rich real estate barker who's dominating the Republican news these days simply because there's no one else actively out there yet, while Trump teases a possible presidential candidacy with the kind of plainspoken critiques that Americans apparently crave this time?
See, according to Malcolm it's nameless Democrats who are angry with Obama for releasing his birth certificate. It's nameless Democrats who wonder why the president has been "stonewalling" on the issue.
Yeah, right. Nice try Andrew.

The device is designed to enable a standard USB printer to be accessed over a wireless network. The device grabs itself an IP address and as such can be addressed by any operating system with IP printing functionality - that's Windows XP and Mac OSX for most of you. You can plug a printer (or two) in to either (or both) of the USB ports on the back of the device and then print to it wirelessly. Simple concept, huh?
The rear of the device is rather as you'd expect. There's the wireless antenna, the power jack, and the two USB ports for printer connections. There's also an Ethernet jack for connecting to a standard, wired router rather than over wireless, making this suitable for networking any printer to any network.
Well, we say any printer, but you'll need to make sure that your printer is on Belkin's compatibility list. There are reports that some printers that aren't on the list might work, but Belkin doesn't guarantee it.
What other technical considerations are there? Well, perhaps the most obvious (or not so obvious, depending on how security conscious you are) is that you will need to make sure that the Belkin supports the type of wireless encryption you may or may not be using. The device supports WEP encryption of all varieties, but not WPA, as far as we could tell. You may also need to look up the MAC address of the device if you have MAC filtering switched on throughout your network.

/// Has Demand for Broadcast TV Inventory Already Topped Out?
While it will be a number of weeks before the networks will be able to accurately count the house, insiders suggest the 2013-14 upfront is likely to be a bit less robust than those of years past. Although client budgets have yet to be registered, buyers are already hinting that demand for broadcast TV inventory appears to have topped out. As such, dollar volume is expected to be flat to down slightly versus the $9.75 billion in commitments secured by ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox and the CW networks during last spring's bazaar. The upfront hasn't gone retrograde since the recession-plagued 2009-10 sell-off when the Big Four booked 22 percent less business than it had the previous year. But buyers said that there are too many viable options to justify a disproportionately broadcast-heavy media plan. "We have to go where the consumers are going, and that's cable," said one national TV buyer. "This could be the year we see a lot more money shift out of broadcast…and some of it's bound to go to the cable guys." Buyers said they anticipate a relatively moderate marketplace, with CPM increases limited to the mid-single digits. Of course, preupfront chatter is by its very nature propaganda. Buyers tend to downgrade the market by a point or two, but in this case, Wall Street watchers concur. Pivotal Research Group analyst Brian Wieser said he believes CBS will lead the pack with average CPM hikes of 7 percent while the other nets should fall within the 4-to-6 percent range.

I just joined this site. The reason I joined this site is because I simply have to vent to someone. I was at the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show in Harrisburg PA this past Saturday. We go every year for the fun of it. I usually do not buy much when I go. Show Specials are not always specials if you know what I mean.
As I was walking around I stopped and examined an FMK 9c1 Gen1 9mm pistol. It felt great in my hand and the attitude of the manufacturer was awesome. They actually printed the bill of rights on the side of the gun. I had been looking for a 9mm. It is one of the calibers that I do not own yet over my 25 years of collecting. Even though I said I wasnt buying any more guns this year (last year I went a little nuts) I thought the price was right and bought it. (Out the door at $400).
The next day I took it out to the range with two boxes of Federal 9mm ammo. I was looking forward to shooting it and putting it through its paces.
In a nutshell this gun sucks. It has the worst trigger pull I have ever felt. After a box of ammo I could barely move my trigger finger. AT 50ft I couldnt hit a 12 inch steel plate. The trigger pull in a mile long and feels like 20lbs. The salesman neglected to tell me that this gun is full time double action. Part of the guts of the gun had been removed for the show so I couldnt experiment with the trigger pull before I bought it.
The worst part of this is that I know better. I had no reviews to go by and had never heard of this manufacturer. I thought I was getting a deal and now I am looking to see what I can trade it in for at my local shop. What is really sad is that this is not the first time I have done this either.
I dont want to put down the company. I think they are a new company and they are trying to put out a new product but I want to warn all of you, if you have a chance to buy a 9c1 from FMK dont do it. They have come out with a gen2 which is supposed to have a better trigger pull but test that for yourself. FMK Firearms 9C1 Pistol Proudly American
Anybody want to buy a gun? LOL

Belding approves SMASH disc golf park
BELDING — With warmer weather tends to comes more plentiful outdoor activities to enjoy, and disc golfing is no exception.
And it will only be a matter of weeks now before residents of Belding and avid disc golfers from across the state will be able to enjoy a new nine-hole course at Lightning Bend Park after members of Belding City Council voted unanimously 5-0 on Tuesday evening to approve the construction of SMASH Park.
According to Keven Krieger, who has helped spearhead the effort the create the disc golf park in memory of the late Cody Moore who died unexpectedly June 9, 2012, at the age of 25, construction of the course may begin as early as today and is expected to be completed by the beginning of June.
"We're going to start (today) or Saturday with construction, we've been around and ready," Krieger said. "We would like to get it done before summer starts. My whole goal was to get it done before June. We will see how the weather and other factors work out."
The course will feature nine holes, to be located immediately south of the current parking lot.
Nine metal disc golf baskets will be installed throughout the course and the course paths themselves will be created by volunteers who will clear brush and remove just a few smaller trees.
The tee pads will likely be made of dirt or artificial turf, as concrete is more expensive and less fitting with the natural park setting.
Krieger said he and his fellow volunteers will be as respectful to the surrounding natural elements as possible.
"We didn't want to take away from the nature aspect that is out there," he said. "We want to use all of the elements that are already out there. As far as the bigger more historic trees, we are going to use those in the course and only be trimming some of the trees."
According to Krieger, close to $4,000 has been raised since last October to cover the costs of the project, which comes at no cost to the city, and he said he hopes to see the new course bring in disc golfers from throughout Michigan.
"I think people can expect a unique level of difficulty," he said. "Our holes are not exceptionally long, but what they can expect is a good level of difficulty as far as being able to work your way through some of the hazards that we've created with trees and one of the ponds. We're going to make it fun, enjoyable, yet difficult."
Belding Mayor Ron Gunderson said he believes the park will be of great value to the community members.
"I personally think that it's another great asset to enhance the availability of the park," he said. "It's going to be left natural and people will be able to use that part of the park without destroying that natural park setting. It's going to make more people use the park, which is always good."
Krieger said the park will not interfere with the current cross country or mountain bike trails that currently exist within the park.
He added that one day he hopes to see the park extended to 18 holes.
"I never really anticipated it to go this fast," he said. "We want to show everyone that this will be successful."

Ten years out of the sport has given me a fresh and accurate perspective of everything that is wrong with autocross. It's not just one or two things, either, but too many to count.
It's those stupid orange traffic cones, and how they're arranged, like mostly in your way.
It's a windy, cloudy Sunday afternoon in Marina, CA (ten miles north of Monterey). I'm sitting in the driver's seat of a bright yellow and purple Mazda Miata, slamming my head with the removable steering wheel. Paula Baker, who's towed this D Prepared monster the six hours from Carson City, NV, just to let me drive it is trying to make me feel better.
"You look better," she says, but not confidently.
"I don't know what I'm doing!"
"It's hard."
"It's totally hard."
"This course doesn't really flow."
No, it doesn't. It has too many cones in all the wrong places. I watch her wiggle her five-foot frame into this car, built precisely to her own measurements. "This bend in the roll cage was added just for my own elbow," she explained earlier. She wrestles with a stubborn starter motor and a drained battery before taking off for her fourth and flawless run, three seconds faster than my personal best. Somehow, she makes the car dance, never lifting off the throttle in places where I thought I might collide with a pylon and explode.
I try to look at the bright side. I'm a beginner again. I can only improve. My fastest run of 42.5 was within a second of her first run. Three seconds, why, that's a blink of an eye. For an alien with the head the size of Jupiter.
Paula and my Mom gather around me.
"It looks like you're turning too soon," Paula suggests.
Later, I'll think about that and conclude it's not that I'm turning in too soon; I'm driving too slow, which makes it look like I'm turning too soon.
"You just seem really violent and jerky with the gas pedal," says my Mom. "I'm not really sure what you're trying to do out there."
I have always relied on my Mom to speak the truth, in the almost most loving of ways.
"I was watching the Olympics and thinking about you," she told me earlier, as I was walking to Paula's Miata parked in the grid. I haven't hung out with my Mom in a parking lot in so long. I feel a warmth in my heart.
"I was thinking about all that time and effort those athletes put into realizing their dreams."
"They might be talented, but more than that, they work so hard."
"Yeah, I know."
"So much time and energy. A million hours."
"I know."
"Don't expect much, is what I'm saying."
Will there ever be a time when my mother isn't right?
I don't know what's normal to expect. This isn't like running or swimming where ten years out of practice, of course you can expect a loss of fitness. Is autocross a form of fitness? I'd imagine some rustiness, but shouldn't it be like riding a bicycle? Wouldn't it be realistic to think you'd pick up where you left off? Or if not, what is a typical loss of ability, and can it return? Like, in eight days?
I consider bright sides. My Mom and Dad are here. Paula is here. My boyfriend Craig is here. Olly the Dog is here. They're rooting for me. And in spite of all the new faces, new generations even, of autocrossers, I see so many old friends, some whom I've known my entire life. The running gags continue exactly where we left off. I am surrounded by love.
"I'm sorry, did you say you're going to Nationals?" says Howell. The last time I saw Howell, it was on a running trail near Mt. Tamalpais in Marin (where I live). It was random, never to happen again, but what stands out now is how quickly of us both stopped running upon seeing each other, to hide our shared lack of coordination.
Howell and I became friends at an event in Stockton in 1999 or so. I was spinning out, and I didn't think he was going to run out of the way. So I gestured with my own hands, in an attempt to communicate the gravity of the situation. He would never let me forget this.
"Really, Katie?" he told me after the incident. "You really thought your car spinning out of control wasn't enough indication of danger? Really?"
"You're going to Nationals?!" he says.
"I'm just going for fun," I say.
He stops choking, and says, "Well, you weren't that far behind Paula. You'll be fine."
"Yeah, just three seconds."
His laughter is loud and spastic.
It is clear that my role at this year's nationals in Lincoln will be different. I will not be a contender. I will be nowhere close.
I'm going for the laughs, the runzas, to drive first to warm Paula's tires, to support this woman who is as significant in the history of autocross as my parents, who has come all this way just to see if I'd fit in the car.
And I'm going to say goodbye. Because grateful as I am for all the memories, the laughs, the friendships, and this amazing opportunity Paula has bestowed before me, I cannot see myself doing this again. I see myself falling back into my boring but good life. Craig and I talk about bringing out Lucy, my own Miata to autocrosses. Then we pay rent. Bills. We count our blessings that we have jobs. Sunday mornings, we go for breakfast and urban hikes instead.
I really want my Mom and Dad to be there at nationals. It's the 40th Anniversary. They need to be there. I need them there. I don't like this. But money's tight, my Mom says. The trip's so hard on Dad. We don't ever really talk about why.
So now, I'm standing at the shore of this sea of cones, the wind's slapping my hair in my face, and I'm watching my Mom squeal her Camaro around the turns. When the results come out, we'll see that she beat me and my Dad in the PAX, so she obviously has no trouble finding her way. Her once dirty blond hair is now bright, curly gray. My Dad's in his lawn chair, wearing his helmet waiting his turn, taking pictures, walker parked at his side. I flood out thoughts of the future and take in this moment, my Mom and Dad, the rebels they've always been.

text: WASHINGTON and BLUE BELL, Pa., Jan. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The PATH Malaria Vaccine Initiative (MVI) and Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE MKT: INO) today announced a follow-on collaboration to advance malaria vaccine development and new vaccination delivery technologies. Researchers will test whether a novel vaccine approach that combines genetically engineered DNA with an innovative vaccine delivery technology called electroporation could induce an immune response in humans that protects against malaria parasite infection. Malaria is a deadly disease that still kills more than 500,000 children under age 5 every year. MVI accelerates the development of malaria vaccines by joining its scientific, managerial, and field expertise with companies, universities, and governments to develop malaria vaccines and continue to test and invest in those with the most promise. This follow-on agreement for clinical development builds on a 2010 research and development collaboration between Inovio and MVI. Inovio researchers and their academic collaborators developed novel DNA plasmids targeting multiple malaria parasite antigens and conducted studies in rodents to demonstrate induction of broad immune responses. The success of these studies resulted in an expanded collaboration, in which further testing demonstrated potent T cell and antibody responses in other animal models. This DNA-based vaccine approach involves delivery of plasmid DNA by electroporation. Electroporation deploys controlled electrical impulses to create temporary pores in a cell membrane, allowing uptake of the synthetic DNA. The cell then uses the DNA's instructions to produce proteins that mimic the presence of the malaria pathogen, with the aim of inducing an immune response that provides protection against malaria. "We are excited to bring this innovative delivery technology into clinical testing to see whether the compelling immune responses seen in animal models translate to humans," said Dr. David C. Kaslow, director of MVI. "Determining if and how these potent immune responses lead to protection against infection with the most deadly form of malaria is a high priority in our efforts to develop a next generation malaria vaccine." The clinical study will contain two study arms. The first study arm will include three antigens, two pre-erythrocytic (CSP and TRAP) and one blood stage (AMA-1), shown previously to protect against Plasmodium falciparum, the most deadly malaria strain. The second study arm will include two additional pre-erythrocytic-stage antigens (LSA-1 and CelTOS). Dr. J. Joseph Kim, President and CEO of Inovio, said, "We are pleased to work with MVI to advance into a human study with Inovio's plasmid DNA. Our synthetic vaccine platform has produced vaccine candidates against HPV, HIV, and influenza targets that have generated potent T cell immune responses observed in human clinical studies. Using the same platform technology, we have now generated encouraging data with preclinical testing of our malaria antigen plasmids. We are excited to work with our collaborators at MVI toward the ultimate goal of conquering malaria." The focus on vaccines that deliver multiple antigens simultaneously is a leading approach to developing highly effective malaria vaccines. The Inovio platform is technically well suited to deliver multiple target antigens and has effectively demonstrated in preclinical studies an ability to induce potent immune responses to these antigens. This is one of a series of platforms MVI plans to evaluate for its capacity to induce immune responses that confer protection from malaria infection in the human challenge model.

County approves interim budget
The Chaves County Board of Commissioners approved the county's interim budget for the 2013-2014 fiscal year Thursday during a special business meeting.
Last week, the board reviewed the interim budget at a workshop during its regular business meeting. One issue discussed then was the possibility of lowering the amount given to the Roswell-Chaves County Economic Development Corporation from $175,000 to $75,000.
The organization is seeking applicants for an executive director [auth] since Bob Donnell's retirement in February. Commission Chairman Greg Nibert said the organization asked to receive the larger amount, as it is concerned that a reduction would make attracting applicants difficult.
Commissioner James Duffey said, for the time being, he saw no reason to allot a larger amount, noting that the organization has more than half its money in reserve.
The board decided to keep the organization at $75,000; however, Duffey said when an executive director is found, the amount could be adjusted.
Nibert said it's not unusual for the board to make such modifications throughout the year to meet needs that arise.
Though a difficult process at times, he said the budget is in good shape. The board will continue its efforts to be proactive, Nibert said, and prepare for upcoming changes.
"We're trying to keep the big picture in mind," he said.
He thanked Riggs, county Financial Director Joe Sedillo and others for their efforts with the budget, which awaits approval from the state. The board will vote on the county's final budget in July.
In other business, the board postponed a public hearing regarding proposed amendments to the Chaves County Personnel Policy, to allow commissioners more time to review the changes.

A Swedish woman has been arrested and charged with possession of human skeletal remains, which she allegedly used for sexual gratification.
The Local, the leading English-language news site in Sweden, reports that the unnamed 37-year old Gothenburg resident quite literally had skeletons in her closet. Prosecutors claim that the woman, who was arrested in September after police responded to an emergency call reporting a gun shot from her apartment, was formally charged with "violating the peace of the dead."
The suspect is believed to have used the bones for sex. Investigators found CDs labeled "My necrophilia" and "My first experience."
"Some of the photos show a woman licking a skull," prosecutor Kristina Ehrenborg-Staffas told The Local.
"We claim it's her, but she claims it's someone else and that she found the pictures on the internet," she added.
"She has a lot of photos of morgues and chapels, and documents about how to have sex with recently deceased and otherwise dead people," the prosecutor told The Local, claiming the woman is "fascinated" with death.
Also found were photos of a morgue, documents detailing how to have sex with dead people, body bags and a power drill.
The woman is alleged to have acknowledged the risks she was taking.
"My morals set my limits and I'm prepared to take the punishment if something should happen," she is quoted in Goeteborgsposten. "It's worth it. I want my man like he is, whether he is dead or alive. He allows me to find sexual happiness on the side."
One of the 20 skulls in the woman's apartment was found cuddled up beside a stuffed panda bear.
Investigators were left scratching their skulls at how the woman was able to amass nearly an entire human skeleton worth of bones. The woman is also alleged to have sold several human skulls over the internet.
"I have never heard of a case like this and neither have my colleagues, so I dare to say that this kind of case is quite uncommon," Ehrenborg-Staffas said.
"You have to ask yourself why she would have those pictures," she added, although a psychological examination has ruled out mental illness.
"During my ten years I have never had a patient with necrophilia. Although, I guess it is not really something that one confesses to having," Katarina Öberg of the Andrology and Sexual Medicine department at Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm told The Local, adding that it was the first time she's seen such a case in Sweden.
Prosecutors have admitted that they have no evidence that the suspect ever dug up any graves. The woman maintains that she is innocent of any crime.
"She admits to having the bones, but says she collected them out of a historical and archaeological interest," Ehrenborg-Staffas told The Local.
Boning (human) bones is an offense punishable by up to two years in a Swedish slammer.
Here is a Swedish news story about the bizarre case, from Aftonbladet:

|Statistics (2016)
Madurai Airport (IATA: IXM, ICAO: VOMD) is a customs airport[4] serving Madurai and its surrounding districts in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The airport is located about 12 km (7.5 mi) from the Madurai railway station and near State Highway 37, the airport was established in 1957[5] and is the third-busiest airport in terms of passenger movement also aircraft movements in the state after Chennai, Coimbatore.[6]
Madurai airfield was first used by the Royal Air Force in World War II in 1942.[7] The first passenger flight was a Fokker Friendship aircraft on the Madras – Madurai – Trivandrum – Madurai – Madras route in 1956.[8]
It was identified as one of 35 non-metro airports for modernisation, and thus the new integrated terminal building was inaugurated on 12 September 2010.[9] The airport was notified as customs airport. The notification, issued on 31 December 2011, came into effect from 1 January 2012.[10] In a historic event, two chartered flights from Malaysia landed at the airport on 25 August 2012, making them the first international aircraft that landed in the temple city.[11] The first commercial international flight started on 20 September 2012 by SpiceJet commencing its maiden service to Colombo.[12] Spicejet started its second international flight from Madurai to Dubai on 22 November 2013.
In order to boost exports from Madurai and its surrounding districts, the Department of Revenue under the Union Ministry of Finance has issued a notification dated 28 May 2013 permitting the airport to handle cargo.[13]
The airport has two adjacent terminals. Currently the integrated terminal is used for both international and domestic purposes. The Airports Authority of India is planning to convert the old terminal into a cargo complex.[14]
Passenger terminal[edit]
As the part of modernising 35 non-metro airports, AAI constructed a new, state-of-the-art integrated passenger terminal adjacent to the old terminal. The ₹1.29 billion (US$20 million) new integrated passenger terminal building was inaugurated on 12 September 2010.[9] A total of 610 acres (250 ha) of land is under acquisition for the expansion of the runway to 12,500 ft (3,800 m) to accommodate large jet aircraft.[15] This terminal with an area of 17,560 m2 (189,000 sq ft) can handle a passenger capacity of 250 each on arrival and departure.[16][17] The airport parking area has the capacity to park 375 cars and 10 buses.[18] Some of the features of the new terminal include:[19]
- 16 check-in counters
- 12 immigration counters
- 1 security counter
- 5 customs counters
- 3 conveyor belts (47 m (154 ft) each)
- 2 X-ray scanners for baggage
- 211 CISF strength
- 7 aircraft stands
The new terminal has two lounges, a VIP lounge managed by AAI and a Commercial Important Persons (CIP) lounge managed by Tamil Nadu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (TNCC-Madurai).[20]
Cargo terminal[edit]
Considering the growing cargo potential in Madurai Airport, AAI has decided to modify the old terminal into a full-fledged cargo complex.[14] To start with, the Union finance ministry has issued customs notification dated May 28, 2013 to handle cargo at the Madurai airport. Works are going on a fast pace to start cargo lifting in the end of March 2014. A cold storage facility is also being established for perishable cargo which is expected to dominate the export from this region. International Cargo will start its operation from April 2017.
The main runway is 2,285 m × 45 m (7,497 ft × 148 ft) with a PCN 92 R/B/W/T (Rigid), 8 F/A/W/T (Flexible) fit for B737-800 series. ILS Cat-I is available for main runway 09/27.[19]
The master plan of the airport includes a cargo complex along with two additional terminal buildings, expansion of runway and other facilities. The authority wants additional land for the same along with air traffic control tower and other facilities to cater to the increasing passenger movement.[21][22]
Runway extension[edit]
AAI had asked around 610 acres of land in Madurai to take up runway extension work. The state government has promised that land will be acquired and handed over on time. In response to that, the district administration has proposed to acquire 610 acres of land to expand the Madurai airport. The proposed site, including 100 acres of poromboke land, would pave way for extending the runway to 12,500 ft enabling the airport to handle overseas services. A team comprising Airports Authority of India, Highways Department and Madurai Corporation officials had identified the site on the eastern side of the airport that would intersect the Ring Road over 5 km. As per the plan, the Ring Road would be disconnected at Mandela Junction and diverted via Perungudi and Avaniapuram to connect the Tuticorin Road.[23]

Im sure some of you remember me asking about CCA CA (non student loan debt to school) Well after learning so very much from all of you.....EOS CCA finally agreed to delete the account!!! The school wouldn't help me for anything, so I contacted CCA and received a response a couple of days later from a VERY helpful person. Checked my FICO for equifax, was 598...now...702!!!!!! 104 pts..it was posted in sept.09 but OMG...I cannot beleive it..

how long did it take for the scores to go up from the date of receiving the deletion letter?
CCA sent me a scanned copy of the deletion letter and mailed a copy to me. They also verified my payment cleared and sent me a scanned copy of the CRA deletion letter (with AUD number) and mailed me a copy also. They sent me the original deletion letter through email last Friday and I checked Weds. and it was deleted so it took the CRAs about 2 business days!!

WOW!!!!!!! I have two baddies I sent GW letters off to earlier this week. Hopefully I can get results like that if I get one of those deleted!
can you please pm me the letter you sent to EOS CCA for deletion request an who you sent it too.

On my 2003 WRX sedan (65K miles) the fuse blows when I use the turn signals. This also causes the power windows not to work. This just started happening yesterday. After driving it a while, replacing the fuse allowed all to work again. Then after more driving the fuse blew again when using the turn signal. Drove some more, replaced the fuse AGAIN, and for now all is working. Clearly something intermittent, I assume a short somewhere.
Any ideas on where to look for this? Has anyone heard of this particular fuse blowing problem on a WRX? My dealer helped troubleshoot but couldn't find any short or other problem (but didn't tear into the wiring harness).

What cars shold I be looking at in the boneyard to souce the rims?
My ride uses a '73 Chevy Impala (B-body)chassis and suspension. I've replaced all the bushings with polyurethane and added front and rear anti-roll bars; the car rides and handles well.
My problem is with the tires and wheels. The tires are Denman classic IV G78-15 bias-ly wide whites (3-1/2") that are in good shape visually (only a few thousand miles on them), but are 25 years old. The wheels are chromed wire wheels, measure 8" edge to edge, so 15x7's (?) with the mounting face 3-12' from the inner edge and a 5x5 bolt pattern. (What offset was stock for an Impala?)
While I like the wires, I hate the upkeep and these have a lot of surface rust, so I'm thinking of going with steel rims and Starburst moon discs. Tires will be wide whitewall radials with a lower profile that the G78's. Part of the reason the tires need to move inward is that he front-end nees to come down.
My problem is that the tires protrude too far to the outside in the front (fine in the back), and measurements show I can move the tire and additional 1" inboard from where it is now which I think may solve my problem.
What cars shold I be looking at in the boneyard to souce the rims? And any advice and opinions are welcomed while I'm making up my mind.

Hello friendsI was wondering whether it is possible to have an entire ASP~.~NET website with all its content zipped-up in a single EXE?
maybe in a ~.~NET forms app that is extracted and runs an inbuilt webserver to show the website?
This will stop the user requiring to wait for the site to load...specially at remote places.
please tell me about the possibilities of such an appand downsides of ASP~.~NET to EXE ..if any.
Thanks and Regardscingo

A jury in Hancock County says a doctor at Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor was responsible for the death of a heart patient and awarded his widow $1.1 million.
The jury returned the verdict last week against Dr. Felix Hernandez but cleared another doctor, Dr. Francis DiPierro, and the hospital itself.
63-year-old Thomas Haskell of Bar Harbor died more than three years ago after heart bypass surgery.
The surgery was successful but Melodie Haskell's lawyer argued her husband died of significant blood loss afterward.
The jury determined Dr. Hernandez was negligent when it came to Thomas Haskell's post-op care.
We're told his lawyer, who also represented the other doctor and EMMC, is considering appealing the case.
A statement from the hospital president says, "In this instance, although the outcome was not what we had hoped for, we're confident the doctors and staff provided appropriate care."

useing a holley pro-jection on a blower
I have a 2nd gen holley 900cfm 4 bl pro-jection it has an adjust able ecu "6 dials" the injection system is in a open loop,but I have a holley kit to make it a closed loop system,now for my problem, I have a b&m powercharger minny blower I want to use, the tech guys at holley in the blower dept say it should be no problem running the tbi because is not a blow through system,but the carb/injection guys at holley say I need a map sensor and or a mass air flow sensor so the injectors know to add more fuel on a boost situation and dont lean out,I run 23# of fuel pressure,they say that I must have 3# of pressure for every # of boost,I run 6# so thats 18#pressure and Iam set at 23# 5 over.my delema,does any one know if I can ad a map or mass air sensor to splice into and feed info to my ecu?does any one know anyone running a pro-jection on a blower? thanks for your time...jake
It should be possible but, I dopn't know the answer to your question. I can't think of anyone off hand that runs a set up like that. The guys at Holley should be able to answer that question (mass air flow). Have you asked them if they make or sell a MAF sensor for that injection?
What about using a boost referenced fuel pressure regulator?
Boost referenced FPR will not do the trick. You would have to run a FMU(fuel management unit) that raises pressure exponentially with boost. They are dangerous in my opinion since fuel pressure can get very high. Plus with disk type injectors they will not work since the injectors will stop firing if pressure is too high.
The best thing to do is look into getting an ECU that can be properly tuned to work with the TBI unit with upgraded injectors and that will run off of speed density(MAP,MAT calcs.) If your ECU can be upgraded you should be fine if it can be tuned for larger injectors.
I think you had another post on this where I got the impression you were doing blow through.......maybe my post just did not make it to this one. Oh well. Let me know if you have any more specific questions. I have been dealing with a custom EFI on my truck so it is all fresh on my mind
I am not a fuel injection guru, so I would take Chis' advice, he has played with it in a forced induction application., I haven't. I was just kind of thinking out loud.
custom efi
thanks for your input.I think my problem after talking with you and a few personal messages is that I have an out dated ecm and I should keep my pro-jection but add a map sensor and a new ecu"controler" which brings up a few dyi controlers ,so far the MEGASQURIT seems to be the best cantadate,but I am still looking.any opinions out there?
the megasquirt and its spinn-offs have integral mapsensor, so it should be prety easy to do... just spend the 100 bucks on the kit and you are motoring... :-)
I saw a link someware on this board and it seems to me it was a hard web site to navigate and I didnt see were they sell it.is the genboard a kit also?Iam not much into the guts of a computor,as you can see from the "glassratt journal" Iam into the mechanical side of things,but Iam always up for a challenge.were do I go?and of course how mush?couldnt I just run the megasquirt with a mallory boost timing retard/advance?it would seem functionable and better than what I have now.isnt megasquirt and genboard related somehow?...later jake
I would definately rate the genboard as a more difficult controller to learn because of the greater tunability and more features. If you look at the genboard info pages there is a link to the store. You can buy them from an assembled board only to a complete board in an enclosure, with connectors, and minimal testing to insure operation.
The genboard started life as what was called MegasquirtAVR. It soon started evolved into a completely different animal and the firmware and hardware have become something totally different. The only thing inherant from ms is the tuning software which is still compatible, but only can tune about 25% of the variables. It is pretty much worthless and the developers are in the process of building a new software interface. The cool thing is that the genboard is actually tunable with multiple other programs and keyboard/LCD interface. The laptop software is just "prettier"
thanks for al the background info!
thanks again,I tried to link up I got the web site but got a dns server fault when I tried to go to the store,system must be down?I have till next year to finish this project, but done sooner the better,but I dont want to be in a rush,Iam just checking out my options.this "tow" rig should realy boogie when all is said is done,Iam guessing it is pushing 425 to 525hp and with the blower it should be another 100hp on top,when completed theres a shop close to home that has a chassie dyno Ill keep in touch,the motor is a 350 block with a 3.75 stroker crank"not 400 sbc"internal ballanced with 8,500 rpm red line,4 bolt with girdel,modifyed z28 windage tray,milodon bbc oil pump convertion,9:1/2 to1 forged arais pistons,a large hyd blower cam,cast iron 202 angle pennut plug heads,with about 10lbs of pig iron ground,port and pollished,intake matched to blower manifold exhaust ports hogged to 1"5/8 to match a custom set of block hugger tri-y-headers"lowered truck need ground clearance."1:6:1 roller rockers,stud girdel,and the blower a b&m power charger,got a killer deal on ebay they go for $2,300 and I won the auction and got it for $1,685 its brand new never installed.the truck is a 1976 c10 short box fleetside,nosed ,decked,shaved,and tubed,4:86 gears detroit locker posi in a ford 9" 31 splined axels buildt turbo 350 shift kit,mile marker overdrive splits the gear ratio to 3:88 on the highway.well enough of me honkin my horn ,thanks again...jake
Super Chargers and projection systems.
Industry individual: 46 years of accomplished facets of the automotive technology, I may inform one of the algorithms,(a logical step-by-step procedure for solving a mathematical formula), necessary to accommodate the two systems, creating a well tuned vehicle.
As the TPS indicates, to the ECM, it has moved from the base voltage, idle, the plus rate, timing and additional air supply is modified based on input signals from all sensors. The "If / Then", algorithm, based on the, at warmed and closed loop, formula, is for a normally aspirated engine. If the base e-prom information within the ECM has not been attained, the system changes to an additional Algorithm to accommodate the input signals. The system continues to adapt until it has no additional formulas to continue. At this point, the ECM turns on the MIL light and uses the minimal run function. A Blower and or Turbo compression method, requires, off idle, based upon the load geometry, a larger amount of fuel, lower air to fuel ratio, and retarded timing for a minimal time factor, milliseconds, before beginning the advance curve.
Therefore, the two systems may be married, but must be modified technically. Unfortunately, it is not a simple process.
Good luck

[Rescuers at the scene of a bombing in the Damascus suburb of Jaramana, (SANA)]
A deadly car bomb ripped through a Damascus suburb Tuesday evening, killing and wounding dozens, state media said.
State news agency SANA said women and children were among those killed in the Jaramana District of Damascus, a mostly Druze and Christian area. SANA said a bus was also burned out in the explosion and several shops were damaged in a crowded street.
"Terrorists blew up a car bomb with big quantities of explosives in the area which is crowded with inhabitants, claiming the lives of 18 citizens, among them three children and injuring 56 others," SANA quoted a police source as saying.
It was not immediately clear who was behind the attack.
Last month a car bomb ripped through Jaramana, killing at least 10 people.
The explosion struck at around 7:15 pm (1615 GMT), when traffic was heavy as Muslims headed home for to break their Ramadan fast.
State television aired footage of wrecked shopfronts around the square and dozens of burned out vehicles. Images of the destruction were also posted to SANA's website.
The blast came just an hour after a powerful explosion was heard in the capital's main Palestinian camp, al-Yarmouk, which is witnessing intense battles between the al-Qaida-linked al-Nusra Front and pro-government armed members of the Palestinian committees.
In August last year, another car bomb killed at least 27 people in the southeastern suburb.

Original Format Type: photographic print, b&w
Original Format Number: PH 3301 A
Original Dimensions: 8 x 10 inches
Dickey Meyer grew up in Shorewood, Wisconsin, and she fell in love with aviation from a young age. However, given her poor eyesight, freelance photography was a better way to continue flying. In addition to covering the last months of World War II and post-war stories around the globe, in 1962 Dickey was one of the first photographers to disclose conditions in Vietnam to the American public. Dickey Chapelle was killed by a land mine near DaNang in 1965. Her papers and photographs are available for research in the Wisconsin Historical Society Archives.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. - The Northern Arizona women's soccer team has wrapped up its first week of practice in preparation for the 2013 season under head coach Andre Luciano. The Lumberjacks will begin their season on the road, August 23, against Long Beach State.
"I am really pleased with this team's learning curve," Luciano said. "It is a combination of us having a veteran group of players that have played together for some time now and also for a freshman class that is willing to take in information and apply it immediately."
The 2013 team will have tons of leadership on the field, returning 10 starters that include Savannah Berry, Diane Buzzard, Elinor Priest and Alana D'Onofrio. Although the team presents a veteran group of players, Luciano and his staff also brings in 15 newcomers to the team.
"The younger players are fitting in great with the upperclassmen," said D'Onofrio, a senior defender. " The freshman have really picked up the pace of play and have pushed us as upperclassmen to be even better."
Newcomers on the team are already making an immediate impact on the field and have been welcomed into the NAU soccer family. Although it has only been a week, the new faces on campus have enjoyed their time in Flagstaff.
"The first week was not as bad as we expected because we came in shape," said freshman defender Danny Muniz. "The upperclassmen have been welcoming so the first week has been nice."
Looking to make some noise in the Big Sky Conference this year, Luciano will look to his veteran group of players to lead the charge to start, while the freshman can make a name for themselves as the season progresses.
"I'm really happy that the team is buying into the philosophy we are trying to create," said Luciano. "Week one is now into the books and now we look forward to week two."

kids quarrel often
My 5-year old thinks that I love her younger sister (2-year old) more than her. I told her that it's not true and that I love them both fairly. They quarrel a lot of times, and since she's the older sister, it's her I scolded often. Is this wrong?
But I also talked to my 2-year old and told her not to fight with her sister.

Study Shows Eating Apples Could Boost Sexual Pleasure for Women
In a recent study published in Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics, now suggests that eating apples may increase sexual pleasure in women.
A study of Italian women ages 18 to 43 who are all sexually active helped with this conclusion. Participants were separated into two groups, those who consistently eat apples and those who do not.
The researchers then found that the women who have higher apple consumption also have a higher rating on the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), a survey asking about everything from lubrication to orgasm.
So what's the deal with apples? Well, researchers suggest this spike in sexual pleasure happens because apples contain polyphenols and antioxidants that can stimulate blood flow to the genitalia and vagina, thus helping with arousal.
Now this is a small sample size, but researches are saying that the results are "intriguing".
An apple a day may do more than keep the doctor away.

Then just took heavy duty zip ties to secure the corners. Then we bought a truck cargo style net for the top. It goes up and breaks down quickly.

by Barron Frazier '12
My grandfather, who graduated from The Hill in 1946, most likely had planned for my attendance at Hampden-Sydney before I was born. For most of my childhood, I looked at H-SC and promised myself that I would not attend an all-male college, especially a college that my family encouraged me to attend.
But as I matured and as my wardrobe evolved into a garnet-and-grey collection, I began to consider what I wanted out of my education. After recognizing that I wanted more than an education-a place I could call home, a place where professors knew me by my first name, and a place founded on tradition-I realized that Hampden-Sydney College fit my needs, not only for an experience, but also for an education that would undoubtedly open great opportunities in my future.
With a little more confidence in my academic ability, I began to apply for different research programs for the summer after my sophomore year. Twelve applications (and twelve letters of rejection) later, I reached a defining moment. I felt discouraged, but as my favorite basketball player Michael Jordan said, "Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it." Motivated to find an opportunity, I looked for an answer and later that week received information about the Fulbright Commission Summer Institute at England's Roehampton University. Interested by the program's offerings, I decided one more application could not hurt. I spent about four weeks of editing and rewriting my application; a week after my phone interview, I received a letter informing me of my admittance into the Fulbright program. Ecstatic and absolutely dumbfounded, I left for London on June 26, 2010, to begin my studies on human rights and citizenship.
For five weeks, seven other students from various parts of the United States and I analyzed the fundamentals of human rights and the differences between the U.S. and U.K. governments, while also discussing controversial subjects such as gay marriage and healthcare. Although I was biology major, H-SC's intensive liberal arts requirements prepared me for conversations that dealt with analyzing history and governments. In the classroom setting, I discovered that some of my views were inherited rather than decided for myself. As I explored the multicultural areas of London and traveled to Edinburgh and Brussels, it became very apparent that citizenship has evolved over the past few decades because of globalization.
Fifty years ago, many cultures outside our national borders seemed very foreign; yet today, mass media such as television and the Internet have familiarized our perception of different cultures and places. Country lines are becoming blurred as this new concept of a global citizen continues to develop. By the time I returned to Virginia, some of my viewpoints had changed and some were more defined, but most significantly, I returned with a greater sense of my surroundings on a global scale.
In reality, I did not stand out in high school on the athletic field or in the classroom, yet Hampden-Sydney College has provided me with a place to gain not just a degree but an education. Any student who enters these grounds with the will to work will be able to use his degree and his experience to pursue great opportunities and to achieve his potential, his goals, and his dreams. Even today, it still feels as though I am in a dream, as if the events in my life over the past three years are too good to be true.
As human beings, we all have the ability to dream, but Hampden-Sydney College gave me the discipline I needed to reach my dreams. Yes, dreams allow us to see the depth of our potential, but only with discipline can dreams develop into the great storyline of a person's pursuit of excellence.

This is the first 80 rounds from my first handgun I have ever owned. I love this gun, SA XDm40. Shots were from 15yds (except for the double taps-to head shots, which would have been 18 of the rounds, these were from 10yds) I was very pleased...
1st - body hits
2nd - shots to the head after a quick double tap to the body
3rd - and the culprit, haha, love this gun!

Usher Goes To Bat for Justin Bieber
He was the one who discovered Justin Bieber and brought him into the limelight, so it's no wonder Usher has been paying close attention to the "Baby" singer's antics as of late.
In a new interview, the R&B hunk noted that although his protégé hasn't always made the right call, it's no different than any other teen.
"I mean more money more problems. The beautiful part about it is that those that are invested in a long term story you understand that there are peaks and valleys in every person's life some."
"Unfortunately the reality is he has to live with a camera in front of him, but what he chooses to do on or off camera is analyzed or scrutinized in some off way."
Manager Scooter Braun agreed- "Pandora's box was opened. I mean he got a little bit into trouble."

In the early 2000s, credit offers were everywhere: you could barely open your front door for all the offers of credit piling up on your doormat. All the adverts on TV were for loans and credit cards, and all assured you that you'd be given credit even if you had CCJs (County Court Judgements – usually made when a person gets into bad credit they can't afford to repay), poor credit rating or low income.
Then a couple of years later, in 2008 or so, the junk mail and adverts were no longer offering credit – they were
offering ways out of debt such as Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVAs) or bankruptcy. Numerous agencies, both governmental and profit-making, were set up to counsel people through their debt problems. Record numbers of repossessions and insolvencies later, things have stabilised a little now and there are plenty of people who are able to sign up for credit cards and there is a lot of call for online sites to use to compare credit cards for people to get the best deals.
But as time has passed, few people take debt as lightly as they did perhaps ten years ago – we know it's a serious business that can cost us a lot more than a bit of interest. And if you're left with a poor credit rating, then what does this mean and what can you do about it?
Credit ratings affect many areas of your life, from being able to sign up for credit cards and store cards, to buying a house or taking out a loan. When you compare credit cards you'll see that some offer low APRs or even zero APRs (low or zero interest rates) to attract business – but these are normally only actually available to people with a good credit rating. If you have a poor credit rating then if you're able to get a credit card at all you'll probably be given a high APR with it.
That may seem disingenuous – why charge more to the people who are least likely to be able to pay? But credit card companies run for profit and want to protect their business and if someone is likely to default on their debt then they want to discourage further borrowing until that debt is repaid.
You can find out your credit rating online (many companies offer a free report, though be careful to ensure that you sign out from the service after the initial free period or risk having to pay an annual fee). Sometimes a poor credit rating is down to a mistake – perhaps the person who last lived at your address had a low credit rating and your address flags up warning signs on credit checks. It is possible to disassociate yourself from a debt like that, so it's worth checking whether that's what's happened to damage your credit rating
You are deemed to have a high credit rating if your score is over 700; if it is below 620 then you are deemed to have a poor credit rating. Go through your credit rating report with a fine tooth comb to check for any inaccuracies, and to make sure that anything older than 7 years is removed from your credit history.
To improve your credit rating, always pay your bills on time (use direct debits for regular bills, which will mean you won't ever forget a payment) and pay off any debts as quickly as you can by paying more than the minimum. It will take time to improve your credit rating – but if you're in a lot of debt then perhaps the last thing you need is easy access to yet more debt.
