Last year we made some beautiful Easter Egg Art using bleeding tissue paper that happened to work on fine motor skills, and we were crafty again this past week making some new Easter egg art.
This time we used plain tissue paper and made some festive scrunched tissue paper egg art!
Both of our Easter Egg Art activities are great for working on fine motor skills.

Research Interests
The Ciszek group's focus is on the application of complex synthetic molecules to surfaces. Be it Feringa's molecular motors, thermochromic switches, metal organic frameworks, or geometric macrocycles, over the years chemistry has developed a myriad of molecules that are capable of complex transformations, contain periodic shape yet tunable structure, or display other remarkable properties. Likewise, materials science and surface chemistry have accumulated decades of knowledge on molecular effects. We are interested in applying cutting edge synthetic molecules to recently established surface phenomena and rapidly advancing both fields as well as the interface between them.
The group's main focus is on reacting the surfaces of organic semiconductors. These materials are currently being adapted in the next generation of displays and computing devices, but their interfacial properties are less than desirable. We are developing the chemical reactions necessary to improve the surface, and thus device behavior, and we analyze the efficiency gains in fabricated devices. From a fundamental scientific standpoint, the work is fascinating in that many of the rules that apply to both organic chemistry and surface science are only partially applicable this new system.
In addition, we are looking at modulating the work function of metals. Over the last 20 years scientists have become aware that self-assembled monolayers are capable of changing the properties of surfaces, such as the work function, band gap, and plasmons (nanoparticle surfaces). Changes in the work function have led to more efficient electrical transport and thus more efficient organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Changes in the band gap allows one to tune a surfaces interaction with light. These are but a few of the properties we seek to address via synthesis of intelligently designed molecules assembled on the surface.

Clash of the Titans is a remake of the classic top-action movie of 1981 with the same name. This digital 3-D is an epic story of the legendary battle between good and evil. The 2010 film starring Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes, among others, the role of the gods, humans and has seen little more than play since mythical times. Obtained in the audience at the box office earning over $ 60 million in the first weekend of the film.
Clash of the Titans tells the story of Perseus, mortal god, half Zeus, the king of all gods and king of the mountains. Olympus. Evil is represented by CGI and created many animals as the underworld Hades. Perseus is. Sam Worthington, enough to make us believe that wields a sword rough play, while Neeson and Fiennes, who the key players in their own right, the real star of the film is played Zeus and Hades support The two brothers, Zeus and Hades fight them to see who is right in his belief that his subordinates were men.
The criticism that the film is a mix of things. The point is that many critics impressed. Of course, the action fresh and tasty samples are numerically simulated, but the story and the plot is mediocre. I look forward to this film, if you do not take it seriously, take your candy and popcorn, sit back and enjoy the ride … although it is a bit 'sticky.

I am able to get a few hundred white colonies. I randomly selected 23 clones for sequencing. Among them I got 7 clones with long polyT tail, 5, 2, 2, 2 clones identical. It seems to me that duplication rate is higher than expected. I had another library before without any single clone with polya tail after sequencing more than 60 random clones. My questions are: Do I expect have many clones with polyA? What rate is reasonable for duplication? I followed the protocol exactly. Any suggestions and help will be appreciated in advance.

Do You Need Long Term Care Insurance? – Part 1
As retirement grows closer the decision on how you will cover potential long term care expenses becomes a serious concern. Unfortunately, with the high cost of long term care (LTC) and the high cost of long term care insurance there is no easy solution. LTC refers to services or support to help you with medical or non-medical personal care needs. LTC can provide assistance with cognitive impairment and activities of daily living such as eating, bathing, dressing, using the toilet and assistance with incontinence. About 80% of all LTC is provided in the home.
LTC expenses can be paid with a combination of personal or family savings, LTC Insurance and government assistance. Generally Medicare does not cover long term care. Medicare will provide 100 days of skilled nursing care following a 3 day stay in the hospital. Medicaid will pay for LTC after most of your assets have been depleted but Medicaid is usually limited to skilled nursing home care.
The decision to purchase LTC insurance is straight forward for the affluent who can self-insure and for those with little or no assets who must rely on Medicaid for their LTC expenses. The decision is more complicated for those who can't afford to self-insure but want to protect their assets to provide a livelihood to a surviving spouse, an inheritance to children or want to avoid being a burden to family.
Individuals who are at the greatest risk for needing LTC are those with a history of a chronic condition such as high blood pressure or diabetes, or have family members with a history of a chronic condition. You may also have a higher risk if you are in poor health or have poor diet and exercise habits. Women are at greater risk than men because on average, they live 5 years longer.
According to a study using a microsimulation model performed by Kemper, Komisar and Alecxih, on average people currently turning 65 will need LTC for three years. They found that 3 out of 10 people will rely on family for their care for more than 2 of these years. They also found that 2 out of 10 people will need care for over 5 years. Overall, their analysis indicated that 50% will have no out of pocket expenditures for LTC, 25% will spend less than $10,000 and 6% will spend over $100,000.
Additionally, based on information from leading insurance actuaries, the Association for Long Term Care Insurance reported that someone who buys a LTC insurance policy, with a 90 day elimination period, at age 60 has a 35% chance of using it before they die. They also reported that the average stay in a nursing home is 2.3 years for men and 2.6 years for women. Most care is provided at home but statistics on this are limited.
My next column will address the cost of LTC and LTC insurance and the pros and cons of purchasing LTC insurance.

Shium Andrew Chen, PhD, drove all night from Slippery Rock, Pa., to Raleigh, N.C., one night in July 1989. He was spurred to action by the murder of Jim Ming Loo, a Chinese American, who was killed by two white brothers, Lloyd and Robert Piche. The Piche brothers admitted to not liking "Orientals," as they called them, and harbored resentments originating in the Vietnam War. After hearing about the murder, Chen went to support the family and community in its pursuit of justice in the situation.
"We spent two hours listening and comforting Loo's crying parents about their loving son who was ready to enter [college] as a freshman that fall. It was heartbreaking to learn that Jim's 11-year-old brother knelt in front of his brother's portrait without saying a word for a whole month," Chen said. "At 8 a.m. in the morning we met with the community task force, helping to solidify their effort. I attended the court hearing of the case. The murderers were found guilty and sentenced."
For Chen, the Loo case was similar to the murder of Vincent Chin in 1982 by two white American autoworkers, who, according to Chen, were influenced by media coverage of the booming Japanese auto industry. Like Loo, Chin wasn't of the country of origin that the assailants sought to discriminate against, but he was Chinese American.
"He was killed by Caucasian Vietnam War veterans and they saw an Asian, but he wasn't even Vietnamese. . . . I link their attitudes to violence in the media and the media portrayals of Asians, so that's resulting in that type of violence." Chen was among the first wave of psychologists researching and/or writing about the impact of violence in mass media on violent behavior. In 2003, Developmental Psychology published a study conducted from 1977 to 1992 titled "Early Exposure to TV Violence Predicts Aggression in Adulthood." He was also among the first generation of academics in the past few decades writing about the media's portrayals of Asians and its impact on American perceptions of Asians.
The perpetrators of the murders in the both cases were convicted for their crimes, but they received different sentences. Robert Piche was convicted of second-degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon, and Lloyd Piche was convicted of misdemeanor assault in the case of Loo. Ronald Ebens and Michael Nitz were charged with second-degree murder, but were convicted of manslaughter in the case of Chin.
For Chen, these cases represent a nearly 50-year exploration of implicit learning, ethnic identity, the causes of violence both against Asian Americans and in general, and ways to prevent it.
"I dream about world peace. Any problem, whether it be diplomatic or otherwise. I think it can always be addressed with psychology," Chen said. "That's why I [talk] about cultural adaptation and psychological identity, basically because we feel that we are different, but if we share with each other and share or accept or adapt to each other, we can solve a lot of our problems. . . . [It's like] with China. They are building their military because the U.S. threatened their country in the South [Asian] seas. . . . If you are planning peace, you have to practice peace yourself."
"I hope that the racial problems, the ethnic problems can be solved by navigating our individual psychological identities and psychological interchange of our attitudes," said Chen.
Chen, a longtime Fellow of the American Psychological Association, was an early psychologist to explore implicit learning, the learning of complex information in an incidental manner, without awareness of what has been learned. This type of learning has become known as one of the causes of racial and ethnic discrimination. Chen said that media portrayals of Asians, combined with depiction of violence in the media, play a large role in the discriminatory attitudes that lead to violent crimes like the murder of Loo.
For Chen, it was the atrocities that he saw growing up in Japanese-occupied China, along with the humanistic Eastern philosophies of Confucius and Mencius, that inspired him to become a psychologist.
Chen was born in 1931 in the Jiangsu province in eastern-central coastal China, the same year that Japan invaded Manchuria, a region that is now referred to as Northeast China, in what many considered to be the beginning of the Second Sino-Japanese War. The war, during which between 17,000,000 and 20,000,000 Chinese civilians died according to Michael Clodfelter's (1992) book Warfare and Armed Conflicts: A Statistical Reference, served as a backdrop for his childhood.
He was witness to and a victim of these atrocities. "Witnessing atrocity during childhood years affects one's personal development and attitude," Chen said. "When I was in my teens, each time I entered the city gate, I had to bow down to Japanese soldiers holding their guns with bayonets on them. And one night, we had to hide in a small boat under tall weeds in a creek while Japanese gunboats were sweeping with machine gun overhead."
This time in his life made Chen feel "desperate for safety, peace, security, love, and all of the other human ingredients."
He found comfort in the philosophies of Confucius and Mencius, who emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice, and sincerity.
"They provided me very much with the base, the roots of interest in people and interest in psychology," said Chen. In 1949, Chen emigrated from Taiwan to the United States to continue his studies in psychology at the University of Oregon and then at Teachers College, Columbia University.
He was quickly confronted with being an ethnic minority in a country mired in racial segregation and untrusting of those from outside of traditional Western European culture.
It took him a long time to acculturate to American society. Chen said he learned that ethnic minorities have to negotiate with their indigenous ethnic culture, the minority realm that is imposed on them by way of being a minority in a society, and the mainstream culture that exists in a society.
"[I acculturated] because of my kids. They are Americans. . . . One of my boys was in the Boy Scouts, I remember vividly one scene. His Boy Scout leader kept saying, 'You are Chinese,' and my son said 'I'm not!' He said 'You are. You are Chinese,' and he was almost in tears," Chen said.
At the time he was living in Butler, Pa., a formerly all-white town where his family was one of the first two minority families to arrive. Because Chen was so focused on his studies, he said, he hadn't realized how discriminatory Americans could be toward Chinese Americans. The experiences of his children, his research on the aforementioned hate crimes and his becoming president of the Organization of Chinese Americans opened his eyes to what was really going on around him.
"I didn't realize how badly the Chinese were mistreated until I was in the Organization of Chinese Americans," Chen said. "I had no idea how badly the Chinese were treated, especially laborers in the early days of this country."
In addition to bringing to light the discrimination that Asian Americans face, Chen has identified issues related to seeking and receiving mental health services.
Regarding his 1985 paper "The Need for Relevant Psychology for Asians," Chen said, "I emphasize the value of psychology, but psychology is still foreign to people in general," adding, "especially to Asian Americans because they are unaware of it. Maybe not because of them, but because of the exclusiveness of American culture itself. Personally, I feel my work, Asian American psychologists' work, is a success, even though the awareness level is low."
For example, when he joined the Association of Asian American Psychologists (AAPA) in 1975, it was somewhat monolithic in its scope, focusing on building unity among Asian Americans and attempting to tackle the issues of the Asian American community as a whole. But now, Chen said, the organization has several subgroups – an LGBTQIA+ group, an East Asian group and a South Asian group, for example – that focus on individual identities that Asian Americans form.
Now retired, Chen hopes his body of work can contribute to the struggle for a better life for all ethnic minorities. He's written a memoir titled My Journey to Becoming Chinese American – A Memoir of an Asian American Psychologist and His Search for Ethnic Identity that's currently being edited.
"They say that I retired from psychology," he said. "But I never retired from civil rights and my work, the memoir I'm working on, is a continuation of that."

Diorama was founded in 1996 as a musical project of Torben Wend. Torben's music was soon recognized by Adrian Hates of Diary of Dreams, so with his support and the support of Rainer Assmann (Daf/ Fad Gadget), a debut-album "Pale" was released in 1999. The members of Diorama have collaborated with a number of bands, including Diary of Dreams, Angels & Agony, Painbastard, Klangstabil and Frozen Plasma.
Diorama are often labeled as "electropop", "future pop" or "darkwave" (on their debut "Pale") etc. The melodies can be fast-paced and backed by rhythms and can be melancholic ballads. The diapason of the lyrics' motifs takes inspiration from the inner world of the writer himself (Torben Wendt) and also his surroundings. The lyrics are written in a dark, kafkian style and are often ambiguous. Distinctive playing with words and metaphors is one of the prominent virtues of Diorama's artistic opus.

The music is pretty similar to that of Diary of Dreams. But Diorama is softer and has some nice dark wave influences as well. The good vocals and the complete absence of metal guitars contribute to making this a rather unordinary album. This is not traditional gothic rock — more calm gothic dark wave stuff with synthesizers. The music is far from happy and you can almost guess Diorama is a German band. You get eleven good songs on this album, one of the best gothic releases this year.

Imagine being dragged underwater. Looking up toward the surface, rays of light beaming through the waves and swells. Silencing and intense. This is Diorama. This is "Her Liquid Arms".
"Her" being the great intimidating ocean. Full of depth, drama, and intrigue, metaphors and visions, "Her Liquid Arms" is truely echanting. With full, meaty synths and complex orchestral arrangements, frontman Torben Wendt demonstrates his strong sense of progression that carries you to the ocean floor.
Lyrics are fragmented and listy, but empowering. Revealing very little about the man behind Diorama.

Nach ihrem im April veröffentlichten Debüt "her liquid arms" erfreuen uns die melancholischen Elektro Waver mit ihrer ersten Maxi CD. Die Beiden neuen Stücke "device" und "panes of glass" kommen im typischen Diorama Gewand daher. Treibender Rhythmus, eingängige Beats gepaart mit verspielter Elektronik. Das Ganze aufgebaut auf einen traurigen Grundtenor. Eindringliche, betörende Vocals erzeugen eine schwermütige Atmosphäre, die durch die poppigen Soundstrukturen aufgelockert werden. "panes of glass erinnert daher ein wenig an den Wave Pop der 80er. Im Remix des bekannten "advance" scheuen sich Diorama nicht ihre gefühlvollen Melodielinien mit teilweise abgedrehten elektronischen Spielereien darzubieten. Der schleichende Rhythmus wird mit tanzbaren Beats unterlegt.

The production is rougher than before and therefore is this album less bombastic than it's predecessor. The guitar got a more prominent role on this album as well. Not too loud, although 'The Girls' (one of the highlights of this album) sometimes almost sounds as US industrial. Before that song 'Logic Friends' has proven that Diorama still creates well written (almost pop) songs with great singing and strange (but not disturbing) breaks. Of course the CD is also filled with beautiful sensitive songs which are close to ballads. Listen for instance to 'Dear Brother', 'Helmets Down' (a real ballad), (the beautiful) 'Someone Dies' and moving, in German sung, 'Unzerstört'. With "Amaroid" Diorama proves once again to create beautiful atmospheric and inventive music.

"Repale" seems to be recorded with the dance floors in mind. It has been done in their own typical way, because the remixes sound more up tempo, but the music still contains the atmospheric and tempo changes. It makes "Repale" worthwhile for the fan. From 'Drowned' on (with a chorus line that reminds most of Diary Of Dreams) it becomes clear that Diorama, in spite of the use of other different artists, still sounds like Diorama. 'The Girls' is, like 'Logic Friends' (by Kartagon), more up tempo, but still has a quiet end. Striking are the Italian version of 'Il Bacio Della Realizzazione' (with help from Klangstabil) and 'The Rich Are All Perverted' (in which the voice of Torben is distorted). The remakes of songs out of the "Pale" period make this album worthwhile for everyone.

The titletrack 'Synthesize Me' is a typical Diorama song, in which the balance between melancholy and danceability is nicely done. This song is in 4 versions on this MCD though, which i think is a bit too much as i would have rather seen some more extra songs for the money instead of an extended version, a piano version and a more experimental ''dada'' version with 80's minimal influnces and vocoder vocals. The pianoversion hwoever is very beautiful and reminds of the early days of Diorama around the Pale release. Furthermore the MCD has three extra songs that actually are much nicer than the titletrack. First 'Erase me', which is a comp4elling song, then the dark and slightly ritual sounding 'Truth and Movement', and finally the heavy 'The Rational Anthem' which really delivers, due to not only piano, but also beats, sampling and guitars been used, which results in a very explosive yet beautiful track.

The new album of Diorama is a bit like drinking black coffee and red wine:you feel invigoration, nostalgia, affection and also a bitter taste. Cause that's what the album is like: on the one hand melancholic, ironic, thought-provoking and on the other hand energetic, dynamic and electrifying. I don't know if you get involved into discussion on whether "A Different Life" sounds like Diorama or not — at least this time there's a good reason to debate as the album is really good: ambiguous and provoking, tough not necessarily amusement-oriented. One thing is sure – a fair dose of good music is guaranteed.

There's one moment in This Is 40 that perfectly encapsulates Judd Apatow's brand of comedy. A married couple (played by Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann) lock themselves in their bedroom. Mann offers to give Rudd, who is dressed in an awkward cycling outfit, a quick blow job. He consents and they start going to town. However, not ten seconds pass before their two daughters are banging on the bedroom door, screaming at each other and their parents. The girls, of course, have no idea what their parents are doing. Rudd and Mann try to ignore the children, but pretty soon they're both screaming back at the daughters as shrilly as their daughters are screaming at them. The scene still amounts to a prolonged dick joke, but there's an additional awkwardness. This Is 40 represents a continuation of Apatow's effort to either elevate the dick joke (the bread and butter of all R-rated comedies) or abandon it altogether.
With This Is 40, Apatow turns his attention away from stoned slackers and vulgar stand up comedians and focuses it on the passive aggressive married couple from Knocked Up. Now they're five years older, their oldest daughter has entered her teenage years, and more importantly, they're entering their forties. Debbie (Leslie Mann) is devastated by the prospect of her impending birthday and everything it symbolizes. Pete (Paul Rudd) really doesn't care about growing older, but he's facing financial pressures as a result of a failed business venture coupled with his father's (Albert Brooks) constant mooching. And there's a lot of other stuff going here, too. Dozens of celebrities and character actors turn up in cameos and bit parts to add nothing more than a laugh or two to an excessively long movie and remind us all that this is an Apatow production.
For the past decade, Apatow has straddled the line between the bittersweet dramedies of James L. Brooks and the fart-and-dick-joke based comedies of Kevin Smith, but now he clearly desires to rid himself of completely puerile humor. His previous effort, Funny People, attempted to mimic Brooks, but it was a bloated, self-indulgent misfire. The movie was overlong, bleak, and painfully unfunny. This Is 40 has some of the same faults, but it's more restrained and perceptive. It's like a James L. Brooks film with an edge. I think this movie represents a step in the right direction.
Like the director's other work, This Is 40 feels mostly improvised and hastily thrown together—Apatow wouldn't recognize plot structure if it bit him in the ass—but most of the jokes still land, and the characters are handled with warmth. If the movie is excessively long for a comedy and suffers from a meandering plot, it's saved by the likability of its characters. Paul Rudd is consistently charming even in the terrible movies, and Leslie Mann, Melissa McCarthy, Albert Brooks, and John Lithgow round out a reliable cast.
Many critics are piling onto Apatow and hammering his latest effort. Familiarity breeds contempt after all. But a lot of the problems that plague this movie have plagued his better received films as well. For instance, I'm at a complete loss as to tell you what the movie is about; as the title implies, This Is 40 is mostly a coming-of-age tale for Generation X, but it also tries to be more than that. But Knocked Up and The Forty Year Old Virgin also boasted large casts and covered a wide range of material. They also lacked structure and a coherent message.
Is the movie a perfect comedy? No. It isn't even one of the best comedies of the year. But, for what it's worth, I still believe Judd Apatow is one of the more daring voices in comedy today. He doesn't seem to be content to remake the same movie over and over again like many comedy directors. Will he ever achieve the peak he's striving for—that perfect combination of insightful dramedy and vulgar farce? Probably not, but at least he's visibly trying to make something meaningful and different. If nothing else, I can appreciate that.

A German regional court has decided that it does not have the authority to impose a ban against the Galaxy tab through out the EU.
The Dusseldorf regional court brought in the ban as part of an injunction at the request of Jobs' Mob.
However now the court has twigged that because of EU laws, its injunction might have applied to the whole of Europe.
The court said today that it was questionable whether its authority extended to international companies operating outside Germany, so it restricted a preliminary ban imposed last week on Samsung Electronics just to the Fatherland.
Apple is desperate to get the Galaxy Tab banned because it is widely seen as a the most credible alternative its product. It is easier to have the Tab banned by a court than it is to compete with it. So far Apple has not had to present any evidence to the court that Samsung nicked its ideas. Indeed some of the photographs it has given the court to prove its case so far have been faked.
The Dusseldorf court said its ban still applied to Germany. A hearing in the case was due next week.
Samsung told Reuters that it was looking forward to the opportunity to re-assert its intellectual property rights at the hearing scheduled on August 25.

I've heard of designer bags, clothes, cars, even dogs. But what about designer cell phone accessories? Motorola sells a Bluetooth earpiece designed by Dolce & Gabbana.
The Motorola H700 Bluetooth Headset is equipped with the folding microphone design that's become more and more popular among wireless headsets. The product is designed to have high-quality audio performance, echo cancellation technology and an approximate 30 percent reduction in size over standard headsets. It also has a 30 foot connectivity range,.
I think this is pretty cool, but I also walk around with a pink cell phone. I know some (many) people prefer their electronics to be more subtle. That said, if this strikes your fancy, click here to buy (it ranges from $40 on up).

Fahry's thrush was about to disappear dah. Dah takde putih2 kat lidah dia, after few days applying the medication. Dia pun dah makin berselera makan.
On Saturday we had family gathering + BBQ at Atok C-Kin's place. Actually Saturday was very pack. We jog at Lembah Kiara, had breaskfast roti boom at The Original Kayu Dataran Sunway, lunch at Embah Mian's, tea break at Park Avenue and dinner at Atok C-Kin's. It was very nice, just the same openhouse menus at Johorean houses – nasi beriani & soto 😛
On the next morning, I felt my boob sangat2 sakit & keras. It was a very extreme engorgement, until you can feel it was so keras like batu and very the berdenyut2. I thought it was because the boys didn't suckle from the right side one, so I tried to pump the milk out. I tried with my beloved Medele Freestyle, but nothing was actually came out. Heran? Memang! It was never happens!
I tried again with my Avent ISIS Uno. Still the same thing. Nothing came out.
I told Abiy that I was having a big problem. I was thinking about mastitis and other breast related disease (oh not the breast cancer, naudzubillah).
Abiy immediately brought me to Prince Court Medical Center while I was busy SMS-ing several friends and LCs like Mokcik Farah Sarakids, Kak Fid, Kak Zatul, Kak Syida and sape lagi la dah lupe rasa macam ramai je 😀
The MO inspected my boob and she gave me an appointment with the Breast Specialist. She prescribed me with painkiller (ponstant) and a nursing cream. It was so sakit and berdenyut2, so after breakfast I took the painkiller.
Mokcik Farah suggested me to see Dr. Koe, the Paed cum LC at Old Klang Road, but I thought the clinic was close la, cos I called from 9-11, nobody answered. She suggested that I berjangkit with Fahry and kena thrush juga.
Kak Syida and Kak Zatul suggested to tuam with tuala rendam air panas & pump. I tried until my boob got reddish 😀 the output wasn't so memberangsangkan. Not even 10ml pun but OK lah, at least it helps to reduce the soreness. Kak Zatul called me and suggested the same thing as Farah's.
Tok Ma suggested to put cabbage and use comb to massage the boob.
Tapi, dalam2 sakit pun sempat lagi pergi open house my friend at Putrakaya Putrajaya and met Lin@Mama Qaisara and Liza Lydzar 😀 Was so surprised when my name was called and tak sangka it was Lin. But tak dapat sembang cos she was about to leave and we were just arrived. Lydzar pula met inside the house (It was a funny incident, read my comment at Lydzar' blog).
In the evening pulak we had a walk at Desa Parkcity while buying a bike for Hafiy.
Back to the breast/nipple thrush, what I face was:
- Pain, during nursing and after nursing.
- Burning sensation that radiated through the breast.
- Reddish and sorenipple.
When the baby gets thrush, it is actually a sign that the nursing mother has it too. But I was so ignorant that time and langusng forget that I might be infected too. So I didn't do anything to prevent or at least control the infection, maybe by applying some cream like lanolin.
What I did to ease the swelling and sore breast:
- Tuam kain sejuk to reduce the pain, tuam kain panas and pump.
- Ask the boys to suckle from the affected breast.
- Try to soft massage.
When goes to the doctor, usually the doctor will precsribe antibiotic.
What will the Breast Specialist do? We'll see tomorrow 🙂

J.K.Rowling Interview on ITV; Book 7 Two Years Away?
Owen Jones, interviewing Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling. TLC Reader Dawn sent in some quick notes of things that JKR said in the broadcast.
- Jk says that Ravenclaw will have their day *taps nose*
- Wormtail will not kill Lupin.
- Jk was implying something having Dumbledore defeat Grindelwald the same year World War 2 ended.
- She gave Harry a fortune as she was poor at the time and wanted him to have a lot. Wishful thinking.
- Jk would like to teach Defence against the Dark Art at Hogwarts as it's the most worth while.
- Loves fan-theories. People have been very close to figuring out things and some people have even figured out part of book seven.
- Her editor doesn't want characters swearing, so she gets round that (by saying things like Ron swore loudly).
- Will start book seven at the end of the year and has already done a few things to prepare.
UPDATE: CBBC Newsround has now posted their storyabout this ITV interview. In an article titled "Potter seven is 'two years' away' ", there are some additional quotes from J.K. Rowling about the books.
But she did have some good news for Potter fans who can't imagine waiting another two years to find out what happens to Harry and his friends. She said that, more than ever before, the end of the sixth book will leave big clues as to what's to come in book seven.
"I think I give very clear pointers as to what Harry will do next," she said. "There is plenty to guess at... at least one thing I think people will probably deduce, there is a mystery left at the end, but I think they might already know the answer if they think about it."
ALSO: Ireland On-line now has extensive quotagefrom the interview with JKR. There is this from the author about keeping the plots and details secret before the release of the books
"What do you think you have gained from keeping the plots such a secret?" asked Owen.
Rowling replied "I gain nothing but the satisfaction of knowing that all my hard work goes to the people for whom it is intended. In other words, people who really want to read the books, and I definitely believe that 99.9% of my readership would rather read the books and find out for themselves.
"I find it upsetting and disquieting that some elements are so keen on spoilers because it seems such a mean spirited thing to do. This is not about money or anything other than the pleasure of reading for people who want to read it, so... yeah I find that difficult."
We will bring you more on this interview when we can. Also, as Melissa noted below, the first part of her ( and Emerson from MuggleNet) interview with JKR will be posted tomorrow.

Hi there. This is going to be a collection of brief moments in Nikki and Helen's life after Nikki's release.
I don't own anything and I don't have a beta so any mistakes are my own.
Enjoy (and please review) :)
"So..." smiled the beautiful scotswoman, raising her eyebrows seductively as their lips parted, "nice weather!" she chirped, not taking her eyes off the raven-haired angel in front of her.
Nikki could barely speak; she could not believe what was happening. This morning she had woken up in her cell at Larkhall Prison, with some hope of release, but no hope of seeing her true love again. Now she was free, standing outside the club she owned, staring into the eyes of her soul mate, with whom she'd just shared the best kiss of her life. Helen loved her, Helen wanted to be with her, even after all they'd been through. Nikki was so happy that she could barely breathe.
"Um,...well,..I,...urm,...um,..." Nikki stuttered. Helen giggled like a schoolgirl. They were standing so close that Nikki could feel Helen's heartbeat. Nikki took a slow, deep breath and tried again. "D'youwannagototheclubwivme?" she babbled, completely incomprehensibly.
Helen smiled, raising her eyebrows again, "Nikki darling, would you like to go into the club, that we happen to be standing next to, with me, it appears that there is a party going on."
It was Nikki's turn to smile now, although she hadn't really taken the massive grin off her face since her reunion with Helen. "I would love to Helen." replied Nikki after regaining the power of speech.
However, the roles switched when they entered the club. Nikki was used to the club, she had spent many years working there and at other similar places, whereas Helen had not really been into a club since her uni days, and even then she had never been to a gay bar. Nikki flowed easily through the busy crowd, smiling acknowledgingly at people as she passed. Helen clung to her side, eyes flicking all over the place, her senses overloaded by the hectic, unfamiliar surroundings. Nikki noticed Helen's discomfort and put a reassuring arm around her, holding her tight and smiling at her, "Don't worry sweetheart." she whispered, carefully navigating them towards the bar where she had left Trisha.
When Trisha saw them she finished the last of her drink and turned to greet them. Nikki instantly felt incredibly guilty, she could see the disappointment in Trisha's eyes, hidden behind a rather over enthusiastic smile. "So you must be Helen," she said, Nikki could detect the faintest hint of a sigh in her voice, "It's lovely to meet you. Would you like a drink?" Helen accepted graciously, and reciprocated the greeting. They chatted meaninglessly for a while, Helen being introduced to a myriad of different people, from all walks of life, who wanted to congratulate Nikki on her release. After a couple of hours Nikki was completely drained, she wasn't used to the late nights or the alcohol and it had completely taken it out of her. Helen noticed this, "Home?" she whispered. Nikki looked at her, unsure quite what she meant. "Shall I take you back to my place, sweetheart?" Helen asked again. Nikki beamed and nodded. They quickly said their goodbyes and thank yous then headed towards the exit.
They hailed a taxi and, on the thirty minute ride back to Helen's home they sat in a deep, comfortable silence, Nikki resting her weary head on Helen's shoulder. It was all a little overwhelming for her, watching life go by outside as if nothing had changed. But everything had changed. Nikki was free, she was with Helen, and she was as happy as she could ever remember being; but she was pretty damn scared too. The club had always been her home, her safe place (despite what happened there), but out here in the middle of London it really hit her how long she had been away.
Nikki was still in a bit of a daze when they drew up to Helen's house, she didn't really register Helen paying the driver or leading her up to the front door. Helen had noticed Nikki's behaviour and realised how exhausted the newly released woman must be. She carefully guided her into the front room and sat her down on the sofa, kissing her lightly on the forehead before heading into the kitchen to put the kettle on. Nikki sat there, struggling to keep her eyes open or to get her head around the fact that she was free. She automatically responded when Helen asked her how she liked her tea and then almost burst into tears when Helen handed her a hot mug of milky tea.
"Oh Nikki," breathed Helen, stroking her cheek caringly.
Once their mugs were empty, Nikki rested her head on Helen's shoulder again. Helen gently pushed a hand through the sleepy woman's hair, "Come on you. Time for bed." she said softly, standing up and putting an arm out for Nikki. She carefully lead her up the stairs and into the bedroom. Nikki suddenly felt ashamed. She had promised Helen a good time but she wasn't keeping her word. "It's ok sweetie, you need a good nights sleep." said Helen as if she could read Nikki's mind. Nikki fell asleep as soon as she lay down. She felt completely and utterly safe in Helen's arms, like she could stay there forever.

Companies generally hope to entice you to use their gadgets and networks to watch the likes of YouTube, Netflix, and Hulu. But Verizon Wireless isn't content to let you stream someone else's shows over its network using a phone it sold you. You should be watching its content. So to get you on board with the idea, it has released go90, a new video streaming app.
Go90, a reference to the way you rotate your phone when watching video, is an eclectic mix of TV shows and YouTube clips.Read More

AIR FORCE ACADEMY — Over the past three seasons, the tailback position has been the strength of the Air Force offense.
Heading into the season opener next week against Colgate, it's a question mark.
Senior Anthony LaCoste and junior Jon Lee are battling it out in preseason camp in hopes of becoming the Falcons' No. 1 tailback. But coach Troy Calhoun isn't sure that one running back can provide what Air Force needs in the running game, so LaCoste and Lee may share the workload.
"It might take more than one player, because we have so many carries at the tailback position," Calhoun said. "So far, our tailbacks have given good effort and they've done a great job of being strong with the ball."
As Calhoun has moved Air Force's offense away from the triple option to a zone running game, the tailbacks have taken over. Air Force quarterbacks routinely rushed for 1,000 yards in the option offense. But in each of the past three seasons, tailbacks have rushed for at least 1,000 yards.
Asher Clark rushed for 1,031 yards in 2010 and 1,120 yards in 2011 and Cody Getz ran for 1,248 yards last season. As a team, the Falcons have averaged 315 yards per game over the past three seasons — production that annually put them among the nation's best.
This year, though, there is uncertainity. LaCoste is moving back to tailback after a season of playing safety. He has had knee injuries the past two seasons that limited his play, but Calhoun believes his best position is running back. Lee rushed for 545 yards and four touchdowns on 88 carries a year ago, but fumbling cost him playing time.
"The fumbling was the weak part of my game," said Lee, a 5-foot-10, 195-pounder from Bethlehem, Ga. "I'm trying to put it in the back of my mind and not think about it. I'd love to get the ball 25 times a game."
LaCoste, a 5-10, 205-pound speedster from Albany, Ore., said he's back where he belongs on the offensive side of the ball.
"Running back is a great position to play here at Air Force," he said. "We run the ball a lot. I had the third-fastest time on our team in our 40-yard running drills. We have some additional weapons this year."

So I've been quiet about this issue because I've lived out of the States for nearly three years now, and I felt a bit removed from everything that has been going on, but after sitting back and watching all the mayhem unfold, I do have something to say.
Black culture, my culture
Living in Kenya, a predominantly Black nation, I've learned a few things about myself and my culture. I've shared this before, but there are pretty much two cultures here in Kitale: Kenyan culture and white missionary culture. I don't really fit into either.
As much as I love Kenya, live in Kenya, have a Kenyan husband, and will someday have partially Kenyan kids, I am not Kenyan. Even when I finally become fluent in Swahili, that won't change the fact that Kenyan culture is not my own. Likewise, as much as I love making friendships with the white missionaries because we have the commonality of coming from the same country, their culture is totally different from my own.
Because there is not a single Black American living in this city apart from myself (that I know of), I often come to the realization that though I am surrounded by Black faces, I am alone. There is no one that understands or engages in the culture I grew up with, and try as I may, whenever I spend time with people from other cultures, I feel like I'm pretending.
Why do I mention this?
Because I feel the need to make it clear that Black culture is not only very specific, but it is an indelible part of who I am. The same goes for other Black Americans. That's why KevOnStage will always have material for his stand-up routines (I can't even begin to tell you how much watching his videos has helped my soul cope with not having any Black Americans to associate with here. It's good medicine for me.). But basically, we are all knitted together with the bonds of culture. If you prick one of us, we all bleed. If you poison one of us, we all die.
White Americans have their own culture as well. Some families have traced their ancestry back to discover which country they originate from, and some of them actually celebrate their ancestral traditions. There are also those whose culture is based on what region of the States they live in (i.e. the South, the Midwest, etc). But for the most part, White culture is accepted as American culture.
Black culture, on the other hand, is considered "other". It's the reason why products for Caucasian hair fill the shelves with the simple label "hair care" and black hair products get a small section with the label "specialty hair care". That's just one example, but I fear if I continue going on and on about the others, I'll lose some people along the way. I want you to get my point.
The souls of black folk
As W.E.B. DuBois described in one of my favorite pieces of work "In the Souls of Black Folk", black people typically view the world through what he terms a "double consciousness". It's like having separate identities: one that allows us to see ourselves through what we understand White Americans know/expect of us and one of our own Black culture.
He also describes a veil that essentially keeps White Americans from being able to see the reality and depth of what happens in the Black community and from even seeing us as real Americans. I believe this veil is what has laid the groundwork for what is going on today.
All of the violence that has been occurring against Black people lately is nothing new. It's just now that the veil is being lifted for others to see. As a Black community, we see what others don't see because it's our lives. Men in the Black community have always known that they're targets for police, because it's what they've lived. I've seen it happen with my brothers and friends many times before it started making the news. Long before all of the live recorded videos began circulating, Black men have lived with this reality.
Personally, I've found it very interesting to see the reactions of people of all cultures, regarding the initial deaths of the Black men and the subsequent deaths of the officers. People's reactions have established a very clear demarcation in my mind of who sees beyond the veil and who doesn't. I'm not going to comment on that any further though, except to say that I do not condone the if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? position that some of my culture have taken. Shylocks we are not.
So I wrote all of this in the hopes that I could explain a bit of why the Black Lives Matter movement matters to so many Black people. I do recognize that BLM can represent a lot of different things to a lot of different people, but this is what it means to me, and though I'm 8,000 miles away from home, I stand with my brothers and sisters across the ocean.
I get it. And I hope what I've shared has helped a few others to get it too.

In place d'Armes, a historic square in Old Montréal, there is a pair of bronze sculptures standing on either side of the plaza. The first is a man clutching an English pug; the other is a woman holding a French poodle. The owners are turning their exaggerated noses away from each other, while the two dogs are staring at each other, eager to meet.
This take on Montréal's mixed heritage says a lot about a city (and a province) characterized by dualities – it's at once French and English, Québécois and Canadian, old and new, and all the more compelling for it. Montréal was recently voted the best city in the world to be a student, and with its laid-back attitude, hip neighborhoods, astonishingly good coffee, and lively drinking scene, it's not hard to see why.
For an intimate exploration of the city's streets, consider a local tour guide. Thom Seivewright (livinglikealocal.com) injects enthusiasm and knowledge as he shows visitors around his city. He tailors each tour to suit individual interests, but it's worth asking him to show you some of the murals around boulevard St-Laurent, which are a riot of color and artistry.
The Laurentians
The Laurentian mountains are a one-hour drive or a slower bus ridefrom Montréal and are a paradise for winter sports freaks. There are few better ways to experience this wonderland of white than dog-sledding at the Kanatha-Aki activity center (kanatha-aki.com) at Val des Lacs. Brace yourself on the side of the sleigh as it careens through a maze of pines while a gang of huskies barks excitedly up ahead; the trees periodically open out, allowing you to drink in views of dramatic mountains or a snow-bordered lake along the way.
Skiers should head over to Ville de Mont-Tremblant – aficionados consider this place to be one of North America's foremost ski destinations, and gazing up at the 968m namesake mountain, you won't disagree. But this cheery little Alpine-style resort offers up a whole host of activities all year round. No longer a summer-only activity, specially designed 'fat-bikes' allow cyclists to take to the mountains all year round. You can rent one of these mountain bikes with super-wide tires at Centre Adventure Chalet des Voyageurs (tremblant.ca/plan/rentals/bike-rentals) and follow a signposted cycle trail. Full disclosure: operating one of these beasts on hilly terrain is not an easy task. But if you're in reasonable shape, it's a lovely way to escape the crowds of the ski resort and sample the icy beauty of the surrounding area.
Québec City
You can get to Québec City on a three-hour train ride from Montréal (viarail.ca). It's a comfy, civilized journey, and on a sunny day, sitting back and soaking up the scenery is almost as good as being out there in it.
Where Montréal is all modern skyscrapers and asphalt, smaller and sedate Québec City features stone walkways and centuries-old fortifications. Your visit here will no doubt start in the Old Town, a confection of cobbled lanes and 17th- and 18th-century buildings huddled at the foot of imposing Cap Diamant. The crowning glory at the top of the cliff is Le Château Frontenac, which, with its striking green roof and dramatic turrets, looks too fancy even for your average fairytale. Staying here doesn't come cheap but treat yourself to a taste of the high life by popping into its famous bar Le Sam (bistrolesam.com) and quaffing a cocktail. Outside, the Terrasse Dufferin offers glorious views over the St Lawrence River, and is also home to the Au 1884toboggan slide. Three toboggans can race down side-by-side, and the slide's rickety demeanor only adds to the thrill.
Make sure you head out to Montmorency Falls, only 12km from the city center. These falls stand 30m higher than Niagara, but are narrower (which might explain why they're less famous). A suspension bridge spans between them, offering views over the deluge that will enrapture and terrify in equal measure.

Hearts of Oak without influential attacker Cobbinah for crucial Kotoko clash
Accra Hearts of Oak will go into the weekend's crucial final day clash against Asante Kotoko without influential attacker Winful Cobbinah due to suspension.
The 19-year-old was booked in Hearts' 1-0 win over Inter Allies on Wednesday, making his accrue his fifth booking and making him ineligible to face the Porcupine Warriors at the Baba Stadium.
Hearts head coach Mohammed Polo must quickly find a replacement for the former VfL Wolfsburg triallist who is regarded one the Phobians best player this season.
Cobbinah has notched 6 goals this term for Hearts and scored in last season's clash classico at the Accra Sports Stadium.
However, Kotoko will have new problems on their hands with the availability of winger Ollenu Ashitey who impressed in the Black Stars' farewell match last Friday.
CommentsThis article has 1 comment(s), give your comment
Edward, Maryland says:May 27, 2014 12:34 pmIs a team as great as Hearts of Oak a one player team? Why are we always complaining and making excuses? The game has not been played but we have already started putting up excuses. It's demoralizing.

Don't give up just yet. It may be fixable.

Dr Romance: Should you stay in your marriage?
Marriage can be frustrating and disappointing, especially if you don't have the skills to fix it. But giving in to the frustration and leaving may turn out to be the worst thing you ever did.
Consider these reasons to stay:
- You still love each other. Maybe you're irritated, frustrated or resentful, but bottom line, you'd be sad to lose your partner. Don't give up. What's wrong can probably be fixed. If you haven't calmly told the truth about how you're feeling, and it only comes out when you fight, then you haven't created a chance to fix things and restore your loving feelings.
- You have children. Divorce is devastating for kids, and it's not right as a parent to put your happiness above theirs. In any case, doing what it takes to repair the marriage will make everyone, including you, a lot happier than the failure of divorce. Leaving is only a good idea if your marriage is abusive. That's more damaging to kids than divorce.
- Your complaints are petty and juvenile. If you're mad because you're not getting enough attention or there's no romance, or someone else looks better to you than your partner, you're probably not being realistic or doing your part to fix things. Don't be a baby. Grownups don't keep complaining, whining and nagging – they figure out how to fix things.
- You haven't tried counseling, or you haven't put a real effort into it. You may need to try a couple of counselors before you find one you can work with. Look for a counselor who is demanding, who expects you to change what you're doing. It will be the best investment you ever made in your marriage and your own happiness.

Cloud Dough – the recipe for this home-made sensory play material is the easiest of all the things I've ever made! Then, why such a dreamy, fairytale-like, even otherworldly-sounding name?
I think because when playing with it the child feels on 'cloud nine' – as in – on top of the world! Really, that's how Pari has responded to this simple, sensory material.
Well, that's just my version! Or may be it was named so due to how it looks when moulded between hands. Yes, it does look like white, silky, fluffy clouds when you take a hand-full and form it with your hand clutched into a fist.
Cloud Dough has an immediate 'WOW' effect on the child the moment it's touched. The mould-able consistency and silky smooth texture between hands feels instantly soothing and pleasing to the senses. It's kind of like wet sand – very easy to sculpt without any stickiness.
And, unlike playdough or salt dough, the child can disintegrate it without any effort. It can be sent back to its powdery form within seconds. And then remoulded at the blink of an eye!
Cloud Dough will mesmerize every child – no matter what the age. For younger kids – as in toddlers, this could be the best sensory material, I think. No exaggeration there.
Don't take my words for it, see the pictures. (too bad I had to click with my 7-year old Point-and-Shoot camera as I left my Canon DSLR at my friend's place – thanks to my absent mindedness. I need to go pick it up one of these days.)
Oh, and check out the recipe and the different ways to play with Cloud Dough. And even do some art and rangoli! Yes, possible!
I first came across Cloud Dough last year via Rachelle at Tinkerlab, who in turn had spotted it on Flights of Whimsy. When making our Pink Valentine Salt Dough, I introduced Pari to Cloud Dough, but since we were so eager to make the pink salt dough for the hearts, we didn't spend much time with the cloud dough.
Last month though, I recalled it and made a note to buy Baby Oil (required for the recipe). And over the last few weeks, Pari has played with it very often and for hours at a stretch.
Recipe for Cloud Dough
It's simple as simple can be! Really.
8 parts all-purpose flour (maida) and one part Baby Oil. Actually, if you don't have baby oil at your disposal, you can use any other oil. Out of the number of times we've made cloud dough, we've used Baby Oil only once. The other times we used Olive Oil plus a little Baby Oil.
I think Baby Oil is recommended for its soothing smell and may be the texture too. But, olive oil worked just as beautifully for us. Tinkerlab had used Canola Oil and were happy with it. For the smell, I'd recommend using any essential oil. We used Rose.
See, the recipe is that simple. Can it get any more simple than this!
Now the fun begins! And, hey, it's fun for us moms when it comes to the cleaning part, too. I say this because it's not sticky, and can be easily picked up just by pressing fingers.
As always, I let Pari make her own. I gave her the canister of flour, the measuring cup, and a large steel tray (I use it to knead dough for rotis).
If you're making this for a younger child – a toddler or a baby, I'd recommend using Olive Oil or any other edible oil rather than Baby Oil. For baby oil can be toxic if ingested or inhaled. It can even cause eye irritation if rubbed accidentally. I might try coconut oil next time. Although, if you want to store the cloud dough in refrigerator for later use, the coconut oil tends to harden.
So, whether you're using Olive oil or Coconut Oil or hey even Sesame seed (lin seed) oil – the added advantage is the beneficial effect of these oils on the skin!
Pari and her friend played in their own individual trays and each used her own set of tools as per liking to tinker with.
Cloud Dough Bakery
Pari had used the cup cake moulds before so she was eager to try other knick knacks. While her friend was fascinated making the cup cakes one after the other.
And decorating with coloured pebbles…
Some dried fruits from the Casuarina tree…
Pari making Cloud Dough Pies…
Moulding with shells!
Cloud Dough Art and Rangoli
This part was enthralling! I have to admit – I want to make my own batch of clough dough to try out all the artful possibilities like these.
The impressionable texture of cloud dough lended itself beautifully to these wooden blocks meant for stamping/printing on fabric or paper.
The best part about cloud dough is – unlike playdough/salt dough – the kid doesn't have to knead it every time he/she wants to undo the previous activity. Just rub it between fingers and its back to its powdery form again to start afresh. I think this is a huge advantage.
Some more Cloud Dough art – this time with patterned rolling pins
Back to Pretend Cooking – chop chop chop….!
All you need is a business card to go about chopping the cloud dough… ;-)
The girls went on to play for at least an hour and a half!
Once they were done, I collected all the cloud dough and stored it in an air tighter container in the fridge. This can be used for days or even weeks.
One batch that we made was nearly 10 days back and we're still using it.
Have you made Cloud Dough? If not, I highly recommend. It comes in really handy on a hot boring afternoon to keep the kiddo engrossed while you get some 'me' time!
Some more sensory play ideas:
I need help sustaining this blog…
Dear blog readers – It's been exactly eight years now that I've been writing on this blog! Yes, eight long years and hundreds of articles. From art, creativity and learning; to food, health, gardening, travel, sustainable and mindful living, natural birth. In our un-schooling life, as we go on introspecting, questioning and evolving, I've strived to share our stories and experiences with as much honesty, care and sincerity as possible.
I spend hours writing an article – and often write and rewrite many times before it rings true to me and sounds worthy of your time to read.
The most important thing for me is to keep this blogging endeavour authentic and true to my values. This blog has been my sacred space to express, share, feel empowered and contribute. Hence, I do not like to support businesses that don't align with my values. So far, I've rarely taken sponsorship from brands and companies. I haven't placed any ads on my blog, though there have been multiple offers.
Infact, I'd like to keep this blog ad free unless something truly meaningful comes across.
Yet, there's a cost to running this blog. The basic cost of keeping the domain alive, and hosting all this content on. I spend roughly INR 10,000 (USD 173) just to keep this blog up and running. So, I need to cover this cost. Plus, it'd be nice to bring in some income for our family of four. And, this is where I request your support.
If you find my articles and stories useful or inspiring at some level, please help me sustain. Starting from 1 dollar or 100 rupees to whatever you can, do consider donating for the content I share; for my intention and the time and effort I put. Your support will go a long way in keeping this blog (of 8+ years) sparkling with stories for many more years to come. Thank you, dear ones. I'll value what you'll gift with love and kindness. :-)

Need 600 Dollars Now
When you have bad credit and need a loan of $600, what are the best ways to get cash fast? If you want a loan that can let you pay by installment, even though it is for small bad credit loans under $1000, a quick way is to borrow from bad credit cash advance lenders. These private lenders have cash advance till payday you can use to take out a 600-dollar loan with poor FICO ratings.
A loan till payday is an unsecured financing which is backed against your future paycheck. It is a fast way to borrow money with bad credit and there is no need for collateral. As an example, if you need to borrow 600 dollars now, you take up a payday loan and promise to pay back in 31 days, or in a month's time until you receive your monthly salary.
Where Can I Get A 600 Dollars Payday Loan With Bad Credit
You can then use that $600 loan till payday freely with no restrictions. You can generally use a payday loan for borrowing 500 dollars to about 1500 dollars in cash advance. However, you need to know that these quick and easy loans tend to come with high cash advance fees. Even though you are only taking a short term small loan, interest fees are high when you compare it with other low APRs financial products, such as those banks with low interest rate personal loan or credit union loans for people with bad credit.
I Need Personal Loans Under 1000 Dollars Fast
Also, because a small payday cash advance is easy to borrow, you may be tempted to rely on these online instant decision lenders everytime you need to get money fast. Many people have fallen into debt because they are always borrowing from these high risk personal loans and end up unable to catch up with repayments, putting them into more trouble. You should definitely weigh your situation and decide if there is really an urgent need for cash quickly.
To be approved for a fast personal loan under $1000 dollars, the process is very quick and easy. If you go for online loan service by an internet payday lender, you can even do away with no need to fax over many documents, which is why some are called as paperless payday loans. Because they are small quick loans with low credit requirements, private cash advance lenders are able to quickly process your request.
When you need to find affordable loans quickly to manage a small financial crisis, you can start by going to the internet and search for online personal loans under 1000 dollars. In order to borrow a 600-dollar loan with the cheapest rate, you would do well to find loan comparison services and do a check to see where can you borrow small sum of money with bad credit and how to get a $500 payday loan.

move over law violations continue
David Barr Sr., a volunteer fire police captain in Perryville, was fatally injured after being struck by a car as he directed traffic following an accident. (Courtesy photo)
PERRYVILLE, Md. - The fresh paint on Route 40 westbound in Perryville marks the reconstruction effort of an accident Rachel Barr cannot un-see: the sight of her father-in-law getting struck by a car as he directed traffic following an accident Friday.
"Horrific. I don't know how to put it into words," Barr said. "Watching your father-in-law being struck by a motor vehicle and then go provide patient care to him."
Barr's father-in-law, David Barr Sr., a retired career fighter and now Perryville volunteer was working as a fire police captain Friday, managing the traffic around an accident on Route 40 near the Maryland 222 intersection.
Rachel Barr was there assisting; the red line runs deep with the Barr family, but just as she turned her head she saw David Barr get hit, roll up on the hood of the car and lay on the highway with severe head injuries.
The 65-year-old is now in a Delaware hospital in critical condition.
"Doing our best to get through a horrible tragedy but it's day by day and it's going to be a long road until recovery," Rachel Barr said..
But in a fire company this small, family defies blood lines and the road to recovery is something all of these firefighters share, including Perryville Chief Shawn Buchanan.
While Friday's accident remains under investigation, the chief can't stress enough the importance of the 'move-over' law requiring motorists to slow down and switch lanes when they see emergency personnel working.
"Obviously when something tragic like this occurs it affects everyone. It could be your loved one, it could be somebody else so when you are out there operating your motor vehicles please use caution and if you can get over please do so to give us that room so we can operate as safely as we possibly can," Buchanan said.
It is the same message Maryland State Police are repeating
after they charged a driver this morning for violating the 'move-over' law.
A trooper was working an accident on the outer loop of I-695 near Rt. 702 in Essex when a driver slammed right into the back of his squad car. The trooper will be OK, but this is now the third incident for state police in almost as many weeks.
This includes the Oct. 6 accident involving
Trooper Jacqueline Kline, who was critically injured while assisting at a traffic stop in Glen Burnie. She was recently released from Shock Trauma, but now faces a long and expensive road toward recovery. State police have
organized a 5K run for Nov. 10 in Sykesville to help cover he many expected expenses.
"When we are on the side of the road, we are doing our jobs. Give us that space and that area of safety so we can safely do our jobs," said Sgt. Marc Black, a state police spokesman.
It is a simple concept EMS workers and police hope drivers get, knowing all too well what has been happening to their family lately doesn't have to happen at all.
"You need to slow down and move over because this, as horrific as it is, could have all been avoided," Rachel Barr said.
In the past few weeks alone there have seen five of these incidents in our area. This includes last Thursday when
a Baltimore City police officer got hit from behind on I-83. That officer is expected to be OK.
In an effort to bring attention to this growing problem,
state police last Monday cracked down on move over offenders . In just one day, troopers ended up issuing 335 citations and 484 warnings to drivers who did not heed the move over law.

Juve are the only Serie A side left in the competition after they disposed of Celtic in the last 16, while Milan blew a 2-0 advantage in a 4-2 aggregate loss to Barcelona.
The latter, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are arguably the sides who the Bianconeri will be looking to avoid.
However, Paris Saint-Germain, who are bossed by former Juve tactician Carlo Ancelotti, would also pose a threat.
Borussia Dortmund have impressed in this season's competition too, while Galatasaray added Wesley Sneijder and Didier Drogba to their ranks in January.
Spanish side Malaga will also be in the hat after they dumped Porto out of the competition on Wednesday.
The draw will take place at 12pm CET from UEFA's base in Nyon.
The first leg games are set to be played on April 2 and 3 and second leg ties are scheduled for April 9 and 10.
Last eight teams: Real Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga, Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, Bayern Munich and Galatasaray.

Are you starting to worry about how safe your family is using the social media platform Facebook on a regular basis? Have you ever wondered if it's truly safe to have your personal information and photos out on a public forum such as Facebook?
You can enjoy the fun way to catch up with friends and family while still staying safe and protecting your family. You may share every detail of your life on social media and you don't worry about online privacy but others realize that some privacy is important.
By living by the mindset that anything you share, even if it's just intended for a small audience, is capable of being seen by everyone, you won't be taking as big of a risk by posting it. Here is a look at how to maintain your privacy and security while still enjoying the popular social media site.
What can I share online?
It's hard to know what is safe to share online and what should remain private. For example, don't share your address for your house or job, your credit card or financial information as well as any clues to your passwords. Avoid posting private photos of yourself or posting certain photos of your kids, such as a photo that indicates what school they go to. You also shouldn't share your vacation details because it could mean you come home to a home that's been robbed as everyone knew you were in the Caribbean this week.
How else can I stay safe on Facebook?
Many people are unaware of their privacy settings on social media and yet many people still complain about a lack of online privacy. If you do the work to understand your online privacy options, you won't run into as many problems.
You have to start being proactive when it comes to your online privacy and teach this to your children because it's very easy for a stranger to reach out to use or our families harmlessly while turning into someone that will come after your family based on the personal details you are sharing online.
The stats
It's important to understand some data in order to paint a picture of why it's so important to protect your family online. For example, only 37% of Facebook users have taken the time to update their privacy settings in order to protect their data. Interestingly, 28% of Facebook users share just about every post with an audience wider than just their friends.
If you are applying to college, beware that 30% of college admissions offices have found things online that harmed a prospective applicant's chances of getting in to the school. If you're looking for a new job, you may not have known that 69% of HR offices have turned down an applicant based on social media checks.
The dangers your family should know about
What's even scarier is that there has been a 780% increase in Facebook and Twitter crimes from 2008-2012! People should understand the dangers behind Facebook from identity theft from exploiting your personal details to hack into your bank accounts and other sensitive areas.
Spam messages and fake posts could cause you to think you should share your contact details with someone that you thought was your friend. Based on your "likes," someone could easily determine your gender, sexuality, substance use, race and political views. Plus, Facebook shares your data with third parties, such as advertisers, by default.
You can stay safe by:
- Only sharing photos and video with people you really know
- Keeping a different password for all social media sites
- Not sharing every detail like political affiliation or your employer's name
- Checking your basic settings to ensure that only friends see your posts on Facebook, having Facebook inform you of irregular activity and making sure your friends aren't sharing information about you by updating your settings
If you still feel unsafe on Facebook, simply deactivate your account until a later time or delete it altogether in which your information will be wiped forever. It's not easy to stay safe on Facebook but you can take preventative measures and watch what you post in order to increase your family's security.
