Burnished gold tones glinting with orangey highlights; fine but ultra-energetic, rich and persistent bead. Intense and bursting with gorgeous aromas typical of great Pinot Noir grapes. Flavors of stoned fruits (cherries), crystallized citrus peel (oranges), fresh almonds and sweet blossom (acacia) are reinforced by early hints of maturity. Witness scents of sweet, baked apples and spicy nuances that are characteristic of grapes from north-facing first great growths on the Montagne de Reims. All the signs of a characterful wine that fully expresses the strength and power of Pinot Noir grapes. Vinous, almost robust on the attack but cushioned by the concentration and roundness of very ripe, oak-aged fruit. This sappiness gives way to lingering, lasting freshness, creating an airy sensation that enhances a unique balance of flavors and texture.
Rich, crisp and harmonious, this is a characteristic Louis Roederer Brut Vintage Champagne: powerful on the attack, perfectly poised on the palate, fresh, pure and refined on the finish.
The fullness and richness of Louis Roederer Brut Vintage make it the ideal wine to be drunk with meals and the perfect accompaniment to fish dishes and white meats. To enjoy the wine at its best, serve at a temperature ranging from 50° to 54°F.
Uncompromising Quality
Champagne Louis Roederer was founded in 1776 in Reims, France and is one of the rare
family owned companies, which is still managed by the Roederer family. In 1833, Louis
Roederer inherited the company from his uncle and renamed the company under his namesake. Under his leadership, the company rapidly grew while remaining true to their philosophy of...Read More About Louis Roederer
Champagne is both a region and a method. The wines come from the northernmost vineyards in France and the name conjures an image like no other can. An 18th Century Benedictine monk named Dom Perignon is said to be the first to blend both varietals and vintages, making good wines not only great, but also special and unique to their winemaker. Today, nearly 75% of Champagne...Read More About Champagne
Vintage Champagne and Sparkling Wines
Vintage Champagne is made in particularly good years with optimum weather and the best grape selection.
Some houses, like Dom Perignon, only make vintage Champagne,
so they do not produce a wine every year and have no
non-vintage bottlings.
What makes vintage Champagne better? Well, status for one - many vintage Champagnes are...Read More About Vintage

Taxpayers provide the funds that not only drive the demand for abortions but also allow organizations such as Planned Parenthood to become filthy rich in meeting that demand.
You DO know that, don't you?
This is getting ridiculous.
First, the DNC turns into a giant pro-choice rally. Now, MoveOn.org is out with a disgusting, fear-mongering attack ad about how the GOP will take women back to the era of back-alley abortions. Not only is it utterly offensive and completely off-point from voters' concerns, it conflates Mitt Romney's personal position on the issue with the GOP platform, so it's misleading, too.
Nevermind the moral debate about abortion -- although you can find a great perspective on the pro-life cause here --...

Shake It and Shape Up Like Pink and Brooke Burke
Written on January 25, 2012 at 11:32 am , by Karla Walsh
You picture celebrities shaping up post-baby or before a big role in a fancy personal gym, right? But certain down-to-earth stars (including our January cover girl Brooke Burke) sweat with the masses at popular group fitness classes. One favorite: JAM, or Juicy Athletic Moves, created by choreographer, group fitness instructor and physiologist Neda Soderqvist. JAM combines dance, strength and plyometrics, and is taken by an eclectic mix of individuals, including athletes, stay-at-home moms, Oscar-worthy actresses (Mira Sorvino and Minnie Driver) and music chart-toppers (Pink, who came to class seven months pregnant!).
"The message of the class is to be happy, not just skinny," Soderqvist says. "You feel like you're in a music video, and it's a great workout! Brooke [Burke] came up to me after class and said 'I won Dancing With the Stars and trained eight hours a day, but after this class, I have to go home and sleep!'"
In town to choreograph a Jamba Juice event—dancing bananas were involved—Sodeqvist took us through a few of the moves her celebrity clients love.
Hip Twist
- Begin with weight on left foot and arms at sides. Shift weight to right foot, popping right hip out, while lifting left hand to head and placing right hand on right hip (1A).
- Keeping a quick pace, shift weight back to left foot, popping left hip out and lifting left arm in front of body and right arm behind.
- Repeat hip shifting and arm motions for 30 seconds, switch sides and repeat.
Standing Chest Press
- With knees slightly bent and hips tilted back, lift arms to chest height with elbows pointing away from your body (2).
- Push hips forward while punching both arms in front of your chest, keeping core engaged throughout the move.

63 year old actor Robert Hughes has been arrested in London, following a two year investigation by the NSW Police Force's Sex Crimes Squad. It's alleged Hughes sexually assaulted five girls between 1985 and 1990 including Sarah Monahan Morris, who played his daughter 'Jenny' on the hit Australian television show, Hey Dad!."I am literally crying with happiness right now" say Monahan.He was arrested in London today and Australian authorities are planning to apply for his extradition to NSW. Read the full story HERE on news.com.au.
The story broke on A Current Affair tonight, but it's very important not to prejudice a case that will go before the courts by making any judgmental comments that could ruin the case.Did you watch Hey Dad as kid!?
Never watched it, they all kinda irked me! I was more of a Goodies & Kenny Everitt fan. I'm not sure how he's going to get a far trial, people had already made their mind up. It was very wrong that Sarah Monahan Morris went first to A Current Affair before speaking to Police. When the story aired a Police spokesman said that they'd had no complaints aired against Robert Hughes & would look into it. They did & obviously found enough evidence to charge him. Let's hope he is guilty because now his life is ruined.

There are a ton of people who write about the Mets and I am happy to say that most of them seem to be good people, too. I guess it is not a huge surprise that the guys at the biggest sites – Cerrone and Baron at MetsBlog and Simon, Kannengeiser, Artus and crew over at Amazin' Avenue – are top notch. But it seems that no matter what size Mets blog you run across, you will find good people. Ed Leyro is the brains behind Studious Metsimus. I don't really know Ed except through his writing but I like the content he produces. I reached out and asked if he would do a Q&A and he immediately said yes. Then I gave him a bunch of questions and asked him to turn it around in a day. And he did without a word of complaint. More importantly, he gave interesting answers. Below are his thoughts on blogging, being a fan and some Mets-specific questions. How would you describe the Mets blogosphere? I'd describe the Mets blogosphere this way: we're everywhere!

This guy is nasty! Seen few of his fights,he's sick! Bruno thanks so much for posting this so quick! you are the man!!!
Amagov pretty brutal. not a big fan of chechen people though.
The Russians are coming. Khabib, Rustam Khabilov,and now Amagov. Nice.
……….yeah cause you can sum an individual up by their ethnicity…….ANYWAY…..heavy duty win.
Hope T.J. is OK.
Amagov has skills.
Your an idiot. That's like saying I don't like every Americans because they start wars that have killed more people than the Chechin-Russian conflict has. Please don't have kids.
Please say something about my shitty typing…maybe you can be 'not a big fan' of Canadians too because their iPhone typing skills suck.
Adlan is a beast!
love Pangea12 and Norifumi's sense of humor you are are cool.. totally agree!
As for Jonnyx comment…
People, please! We all know there will always be that litle minor bunch of users who will be glad to slide in some comments to get virtual attention. Stir some virtual s***, most of them teens or good old keyboard warriors.
Same type that act tough with a gun, but once in jail for example, a 5ft5, 135lbs wannabe tough without a gun, ain't so much tough anymore.
Love them, because they are what they are

In the Land of the Blue Poppies
The Collected Plant-Hunting Writings of Frank Kingdon Ward
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreA Modern Library Paperback Original
During the first years of the twentieth century, the British plant collector and explorer Frank Kingdon Ward went on twenty-four impossibly daring expeditions throughout Tibet, China, and Southeast Asia, in search of rare and elusive species of plants. He was responsible for the discovery of numerous varieties previously unknown in Europe and America, including the legendary Tibetan blue poppy, and the introduction of their seeds into the world's gardens. Kingdon Ward's accounts capture all the romance of his wildly adventurous expeditions, whether he was swinging across a bottomless gorge on a cable of twisted bamboo strands or clambering across a rocky scree in fear of an impending avalanche. Drawn from writings out of print for almost seventy-five years, this new collection, edited and introduced by professional horticulturalist and House & Garden columnist Tom Christopher, returns Kingdon Ward to his deserved place in the literature of discovery and the literature of the garden. less

Moving on up to the cloudBy Jason Baker | April 20, 2012
"Look before you leap", is the operative phrase I tell IT leaders when I hear they are planning to move business applications into the cloud.
Businesses oftentimes make the decision to move their applications to the cloud without performing the necessary due diligence to ensure a successful transition. Their lack of planning can lead to application performance issues, disgruntled IT staff, and increased scrutiny from business leadership. If you are thinking about moving your enterprise applications to the cloud, here are a number of things you need to consider.
Application selection
The fact is that newer applications are easier to move to the cloud than older applications — in most cases. Generally, cloud-based infrastructure relies on virtualization, and newer applications have been developed and tested within virtualized environments. Newer applications typically have fewer dependencies than older applications. It's these dependencies which oftentimes determine whether or not an application can live in the cloud. For example, a legacy application may be dependent on a specific operating system, hardware driver, or network location. These dependencies may be difficult, if not impossible, to replicate in a cloud environment.
Many business applications are developed and licensed by 3rd-party software vendors. You need to make sure that your application vendors licensing models are supported in the cloud, and that vendors can properly maintain your cloud-based applications. You don't want to move your applications to the cloud, only to find that your trusted software vendor won't answer your support calls anymore.
Cloud application performance
Businesses move their applications to the cloud to reduce IT spending and increase the reliability of their application services. But, all too often, they start thinking about application performance after the cloud transition is completed. And by then, it may be too late to address any application performance issues.
Moving your applications to the cloud will not necessarily improve application performance. Staff accessing a cloud application may find performance to be the same, or a little less snappy, than applications previously hosted onsite. Whereas, mobile staff members might see a significant performance increase when accessing newly transitioned cloud applications. You should test your applications in the cloud first, and use performance benchmarking to preset staff members' expectations.
Some business applications simply are not designed for the cloud. These applications may be sensitive to network latency or may require significant amounts of bandwidth –negating the cost savings of cloud infrastructure. You should leave these applications alone or seek out cloud-friendly alternatives.
IT staff impact
Someone once told me that technology is easy, and people are hard. Figuring out the technical nuances of moving applications to the cloud is pretty straightforward. Whereas, realigning the thinking and processes of your IT organization can present a tremendous challenge. Moving applications to the cloud will represent a major change for your IT operation. In the past, they were responsible for managing application infrastructure, troubleshooting, monitoring the health of applications, and backing up the application data. A service provider may provide some, or all, of these capabilities once applications are transitioned to the cloud. Your team members may experience anxiety due to changing roles. Your goal is to temper this anxiety, and refocus the energies of your team.
It's best to address IT organization strategy and team alignment before the applications are transitioned. You need everyone on-board and buying into the cloud strategy before you begin. Your talented IT staff members are crucial to ensuring a successful application transition. If they walk out the door, you lose all the tribal knowledge they carry with them.
Test your apps
I've noted several planning steps that you should consider before transitioning your applications to the cloud. One more thing you should consider is engaging a cloud provider like VISI during your planning process. We can help you setup a cloud testing and staging environment which you can use for process development and performance benchmarking. It's an easy, cost-effective way to kick start your journey to the cloud.
To learn more about moving into the cloud, you can attend a seminar I'm presenting at entitled Navigate into the Enterprise Cloud on May 30th. There are still seats available.

The FDA has released draft Calorie Guidelines requiring calorie labeling of foods for chain restaurants and vending machine operators pursuant to healthcare legislation previously enacted.
Andrew Zajac, Tribune Washington Bureau, reports in the August 25, 2010 Los Angeles Times at FDA to require restaurant chains, vending machines post calories that:
"The calorie disclosure requirement applies only to restaurants and other food chains with 20 or more locations and vending machine operators with 20 or more machines."There is a 45-day public comment period on the guidelines, after which the guidelines will be enforced.
I am at a loss to understand why the calorie guidelines do not apply to all restaurants and why they discriminate unreasonably against large restaurant chains.
The guy who has no McDonalds in his town and gets his burgers and fries at the small restaurant on the corner will thus arguably remain obese since he can't count his calories as easily -- i.e. the idea of the law is to cut obesity, regardless of whether one dines in chain restaurants or local eateries. Or am I missing something?

Just breathes heavily and continues to harass over several years and number changes
All Comments (80)
hung up when I requested DNC!
This number is used by Google for people using a computer to make calls through Google. After 5 calls in 5 minutes I finally answer, it was my child using Google to tell me their phone was broken
person seemed like a prowler
it says cannot call back
This number has called over 100 times in the last 24 hours, relentlessly and has no answer. when I try to call back it disconnects before ringing.
he psycho calls me over and over and over
said they were from Publishers clearing House but ased me for my credit card number...PCH does not call and "never" asks for money
Got a call from this number today. It took me off guard. The caller called me Grandma and said he needed my help. He was in jail and needed $2.000 for bail. When I resisted the request he started to cry and accused me of not caring for him. I said I'd check with his parents and he begged me not to cause he didn't want him to know. I hung up and called his parents and learned that the call was a scam. The call came at 12:30
My son received a call from a young sounding guy saying, "Hi, Grandpa, it's me your oldest grandson John." First of all, my son is not old enough to be a grandpa. When my son kept asking him questions, he asked, "Isn't this my grandpa Frank?" And my son said no! The guy hung up. These 706 calls are nothing but scams and nuisances. We wish something could be done about them!
have been speaking with a guy named David Scott, said he is in Italy and was robbed, hes claims hes Canadian... he wants me to give him money to come home to Canada, so he called me tonight from calif. 7607058888... looked up the number and this is what i found all of u posting about a scam... i knew it was a scam, but he owes me money, just thought if i played along i might get ti back but seeing this post, Not..and he sounds African and like he was reading from a script. i thought i could hear someone in the back ground at times telling him what to say...
The person calling said I "won a prize" that I had filled out a form and was the winner. He asked do I remember that? I said what business is the sponsor? He basically ignored me and gave me abou 15 names. I said again, at which business did I fill out this form? He again ignored me with a laugh and said I'd won either a 42 inch tv, or 2500. Yeah, right. Much as I'd like to have the $$, I told him no, thanks, not interested. And I hung up.
I received a call from this number at 9:35 pm CST on Saturday. Odd that i would receive a call from a number as such during that time of the evening, let alone during a weekend.. I didn't get to the phone in time so I missed the call. Out of curiosity I attempted to call back to see who just called my phone. Upon dialing back the number,, there was not even a ring on the other end, it went straight to a recording, a female voice that stated, "we could not complete your call, please try again." Then call disconnected automatically.
calls after 1am EST.
Calling to say my computer was hacked. The idiot must of thought I was a fool. Total scam.
I just got a Google voice account and called my phone. This is the number that came up on the caller ID.

Today was pro-am day at Wachovia and, while most of the players were still relatively relaxed, you can sense the focus and preparation starting to increase. It helped that the weather conditions improved dramatically over the previous two days with clear blue skies, just a slight breeze and temperatures around 70 degrees. We got out on the course today and also made the rounds on the practice green, the range and the locker room. Check out the slideshow to see what was happening around Quail Hollow on Wednesday.
Click here to begin the slideshow.:
We're down in Charlotte this week at the Wachovia Championship where many of the top players in the world have gathered to take a shot at the blue jacket. The story so far has been the weather. The course was closed Monday due to heavy rain and tornado warnings and Tuesday brought unseasonably cold temperatures with temps in the low 50's and wind gusts around 20mph. We were in the locker room and on the range most of the day and will get out on the course tomorrow to show you the grounds at Quail Hollow. Check back throughout the week for updates and click on "Add a Comment" to let us know if there's anything you want to see this week.
Adam Scott made a clutch 9-foot birdie putt on No. 18 to force a playoff, then drained a 48-footer playing it again on the third playoff hole to win the EDS Byron Nelson Championship on Sunday. Playing the par four 18th hole for the third time in less than an hour, the second time in the playoff, Scott hit his tee shot into a fairway bunker to the right. He got his approach to the front of the green, then rolled the putt over two ridges and into the cup for his sixth career PGA Tour victory. Scott wore the DryJoys Traditional with the stability PODS™ outsole (style #53597) during the dramatic final round.
Playing conditions at the redesigned TPC Four Seasons Las Colinas, which reopened for play just this week, changed drastically again after rain overnight combined with blustery conditions Sunday. It was an unseasonable cool day with temperatures barely reaching 60 degrees, with wind gusting to 30 mph making it feel even cooler. The winning score of 7-under 273 was the highest since the EDS Byron Nelson Championship moved to the Las Colinas venue in 1983.
It was the 16th playoff at the EDS Byron Nelson Championship since 1968, more than any other tournament on the PGA TOUR.
Check out this interview with Adam Scott following his dramatic victory at the EDS Byron Nelson Championship. Adam wore a pair of DryJoys Traditional (style #53597) with the stability PODS outsole both Saturday and Sunday en route to his sixth career PGA Tour victory.

How does debt relief affect credit?
If you're looking to get out from under your bills while preserving your good credit, you should know how credit-scoring agencies view various approaches.
It's a question I get all the time, "What's the best way to get out of debt?" It's often followed by a comment, "But I have good credit, and I really don't want to hurt it."
Here are the main approaches to debt relief you may be considering, along with a review of the impact they may have on your credit reports and scores. There are a couple of things to keep in mind here. Just under one-third of your credit score is made up of the debt you carry. So when you pay off debt, especially credit cards that are close to their limits, you should see improvement in at least some of the factors that make up that part of your score. But I haven't specifically included that factor in my analysis of these options, since all of them are designed to help you become debt-free (or to at least get you out of credit card debt).
Also keep in mind that it's impossible to precisely gauge the impact of a particular approach on your credit. How far your score drops -- and how quickly it bounces back -- depends on a lot of factors. If your payment history always shows on-time payments, for example, and you suddenly file for bankruptcy, your scores will probably drop more than those of someone who was already severely delinquent. Please keep that in mind, and understand that these are general guidelines, but they don't represent exactly what will happen in your case.
DIY: Snowballs and avalanches
Whether you choose to first pay off your credit card with the highest interest rate (often referred to as the "avalanche" method), or the one with the lowest balance (the "snowball" method), doesn't make much of a difference. Neither approach will hurt your credit, as long as you are making at least the minimum payments on all of your cards on time.
Credit damage: None
Debt consolidation
Getting a loan to consolidate high-rate credit card debt with a fixed-rate loan at a lower rate isn't, in and of itself, a strategy for getting out of debt. After all, you still have to pay back the consolidation loan. But it may be a tool to get out of debt faster. All things being equal, when your interest rate is lower, you can pay off your debt faster. And if your monthly payment is also reduced by consolidating, you're less likely to be late on payments, which can help you stay current with your payments and help your credit score recover more quickly if you've fallen behind in the past.
Consolidating credit cards with a loan may have a positive or negative effect on your scores. It's one of those "it depends," situations. On the plus side, if you pay off a credit card with a balance that's close to the limit, you may improve your "utilization ratio" -- the ratio that compares your credit limits with the balances you are carrying -- provided you leave the card open after paying it off. (Simply moving balances from one card to another is unlikely to do a whole lot for your scores.) On the other hand, you'll have a new loan with a balance reported on your credit reports, and most credit-scoring models will count that as a risk factor, which could mean a reduction in your scores.
The exception? If you use a loan against your retirement account to consolidate credit card debt, you're more likely to see your credit improve. Retirement-account loans aren't reported to the credit-reporting agencies, so your credit reports will show less debt but no new loan. Still, retirement loans carry other risks, so proceed with caution. (Should you consolidate your debt? Find out with MSN Money's calculator.)
Credit damage: Modestly positive or negative, fairly easy to recover
Credit counseling
Simply calling a credit counseling agency for a consultation doesn't affect your credit at all, because the fact that you've sought help is not reported to the credit-reporting agencies. If you enroll you in a debt management plan, where you make one monthly payment to the counseling agency and it disburses payments to your creditors, however, it can affect your credit in several ways.
Some creditors may report that the account is being repaid through a credit counseling agency. If they do, it's probably not a big deal. For a while now, FICO has ignored this notation for scoring purposes. An individual lender may care, but FICO doesn't. Of course, any late payments or high balances on accounts will continue to affect your credit score.
With the help of the counseling agency, you should be able to bring your account current, and that can be a plus. "Most major creditors will re-age your accounts after you've made three on-time payments in the required amount," says Thomas J. Fox, the community outreach director for Cambridge Credit Counseling in Agawam, Mass. Re-aging an account means it will be brought back to "current" status, so your credit report will no longer indicate that you are currently behind. Since recent late payments can really hurt your scores, being up to date on your payments while allowing the past late payments to age will be a plus, especially over time.
Finally, you'll have to close your credit cards when you enter into a debt management plan, and that will likely lower your scores. How much it will hurt depends on everything else in your credit reports, of course, including whether you have other open, available credit such as a car loan or mortgage that you are paying on time. The impact may not be immediate, either, says Barry Paperno, community director for Credit.com. That's because "balances and limits won't necessarily change right away, and utilization will be the same as before closing accounts." He goes on to explain, "Closing an account, in and of itself, isn't considered negative by the score. Over time, however, having closed the cards can hurt the score, as closed cards with zero balances are excluded from utilization and ultimately fall off the credit report much sooner than open cards that have been paid off."
"Plan on getting a secured card when you complete the DMP," he suggests, "so that as long as you keep a low utilization percentage on that one card, you can achieve a good score -- with any lates fading well into the past. Also, your old closed cards will continue to contribute positively to your overall length of credit history for as long as they remain on your credit report (typically seven or 10 years)."
Credit damage: Typically moderate, fairly easy to recover

Debt negotiation or settlement
When you settle a debt, you pay less than the full balance you owe. Since creditors typically won't settle debts with consumers who are making their payments on time, most consumers' credit reports will list late payments before they are settled. On top of that, "most creditors will report the settlement as something like 'paid less than full balance' if you settle the debt before it has been charged off," warns Michael Bovee, community manager for Debt Consolidation Care. (Creditors generally charge off debts when borrowers fall 180 days behind. Charged-off debts are then often then turned over to collection agencies.)
He goes on to explain: "When you settle a charged-off debt, getting it reported (with a) zero balance due will not, in and of itself, help your credit, because the damage has already been done." But it could help you ward off further damage from, say, a potential lawsuit. For an account that hasn't been charged off yet, settling it before it gets to that point can help prevent it from being turned over to collections and adding another negative item to your credit reports.
Brad Stroh, co-CEO of Freedom Debt Relief adds, "Debt settlement hurts people's credit scores but helps their credit profiles. (It's) worth considering, for anyone struggling to pay a lot of credit card debt, despite its negative effects on credit scores. It is far easier to rebuild one's credit than to get out of debt, and people carrying a lot of debt likely have credit problems already."
Credit damage: Severe, will take time to recover
It's well known that filing for bankruptcy will hurt your credit scores. Bankruptcies can be reported for up to 10 years from the date of filing. What's not as well understood is that credit scoring algorithms typically segment consumers in subgroups called "scorecards." So if you've experienced a significant negative credit event, such as bankruptcy, for credit-scoring purposes you are probably being compared with other consumers who have also been though something similar. Not only may that be a bit comforting, it can also mean you have a good shot at improving your credit scores if you make a real effort to rebuild good credit after your bankruptcy is discharged.
It's also worth noting that Chapter 13 bankruptcies, where you typically pay back some or all of your debts over a period of three to five years, may be a little easier to recover from, at least as far as your credit is concerned. That's because they come off credit reports seven years after the date of filing. So if it takes you four years to complete your Chapter 13 plan, you have to wait only three more years before the bankruptcy disappears from your reports. (Financially, though, you'll probably end up paying more in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy than in a Chapter 7, where you wipe out all or most of your debts, so make sure you discuss both options with a qualified consumer bankruptcy attorney.)
Credit damage: Severe, will take time to recover
Getting back on track
Whichever method you choose, keep in mind that the ultimate goal is to pay off your debt so you can save and invest for future goals. The hit to your credit may be worth it if it means you can finally get your balances to zero. Monitor your credit, consider getting a secured card, and keep it in perspective.
"People just worry about their credit too much," says Fox. "If your couch is on fire, would you not throw water on the fire because you don't want to damage the upholstery?"
More from Credit.com:
I chose "negotiation and settlement" for my relief of debt. This allowed me to pay what I owed without paying all the late fees and interest which were enormous. I had 4 credit cards which totaled about $20,000 and I paid it off in 3 years all except one, Bank of America which was a hard ball to crack. For the 3 years they refused to even talk to my negotiator. I did not have an attorney because I couldn't afford one but I had daily contact from the company I went with.
I was schooled in what to say to creditors when they called, I was told about the laws of what the creditors could and could not do. Did you know it's against the law for creditors to call you at your place of work? 99.99% of the creditors action is intimadation ! I even had to go to court and was schooled on what to say, how to type my own court forms and when I left the court room I knew Perry Mason couldn't have done better. Bank of America finally wrote off the balance they thought I owed. My credit is good now.
Having a lower debt to income percentage (DTI) does indeed help you qualify for new credit products and will raise your credit score over the long term as compared to having balances still owed and unresolved. My statement about the act of settling a debt "does not in and of itself" raise your score in the above article remains true.
I cover the DTI issue combined with debt settlement and access to new credit products fairly thoroughly in an article on the Consumer Recovery Network site. The article compares credit score impacts with debt settlement, bankruptcy and credit counseling services.
I am unable to post a link to the article. If you do a search for the following phrase using the quotes, it should show in the first search results:
"your credit report and score is going to get clobbered"
Kind Regards,
Michael Bovee
Michael Bovee ofDebt Consolidation Care is wrong when he says "when you settle a charged-off debt, getting it reported (with a) zero balance due will not, in and of itself, help your credit, because the damage has already been done..."
In fact, about 30% of your credit score is based on the amount of debt you are carrying. So, getting the balances down to zero DOES in and of itself help the credit score.
And this guy is supposed to know credit? Watch out folks!
I have always believed that a Credit Score doesn't measure behavior....rather it 'controls' behavior......Think about it.....you close an account; start paying cash for purchases; pay off balances; obtain a new credit card and not use it; don't incur anymore debt......see what happens to your credit score......you won't be able to buy anything on credit because the score(s) will be so low.
Keep spending America....keep the same banks in business that we bailed out and now are on spending (oh wait, investment) sprees, once again.
Want to blame someone.....take a good look in the mirror.

MONROE, La. (KNOE 8 News) - The Ouachita Parish Fire Department urges citizens not to burn due to the extremely dry conditions found throughout Ouachita Parish.
The current Fire Danger Rating is "Very High," which means fires start easily from all causes and immediately after ignition, spread rapidly, and increase quickly in intensity.
Spot fires are a constant danger. Fires burning in light fuels may quickly develop high-intensity characteristics.
Weather conditions will be closely monitored and if necessary, a local burn ban will be recommended.

Following the huge success of Anjum's television debut in BBC's Indian Food Made Easy, the same team came together again for a new series and accompanying book, which focused on regional Indian cooking. Based on the same principles - light, modern Indian food for today's busy cooks - Anjum has now created a new collection of delicious dishes that are easy and often quick to put together and full of flavour. All the recipes from the television series are here as well as many more, divided into chapters on Brunches and Light Meals, Seafood, Chicken, Lamb, Vegetables, Beans and Lentils, Bread and Rice, Raitas and Chutneys. In addition, Anjum gives tips for using core Indian ingredients and the book includes features on the cooking of different regions, as well as suggestions for menus and entertaining.
Anjum Anand is well known as the presenter of two BBC2 series of Indian Food Made Easy. Her accompanying books - Indian Food Made Easy and Anjum's New Indian - were both bestsellers. Anjum appears in newspapers and magazines and broadcasts regularly on radio and TV about her light, healthy, modern take on Indian food. Her new book, Eat Right for your Body Type, the super-healthy diet based on Ayurveda was published in January. She lives with her husband and daughter in north London.

Notable Marylanders share their fondest Ravens memories [Pictures]
We asked a collection of local celebrities and people of note to relate their fondest memories of the Ravens. Here's what they had to say.
Image 8 of 27
Del. Shawn Z. Tarrant, Baltimore Democrat( Glenn Fawcett, Baltimore Sun / February 11, 2009 )
About 10 years ago, Tarrant had two tickets to a Ravens game and decided to take his 7-year-old daughter but didn't have a ticket for his 5-year-old son, who was heartbroken to learn he'd be left behind. But after breaking the news, Tarrant was able to acquire more tickets. He still remembers his son's reaction.
"We captured it in a photo -- his actual excitement of going and his disappointment the week before of not going," he said.

The open access movement has gained momentum in recent years, beginning with the Budapest open access initiative which garnered signatures from thousands of individuals and hundreds of organizations.
In the current system, researchers receive no monetary compensation for publishing the results of their studies. These studies are published in for-profit journals, many of which are owned by the same company. The problem with this, SPARC contends is that many libraries struggle to pay the rising costs to subscribe to the more mainstream, accredited journals.
At the same time, however, few libraries, especially college libraries, have been willing to sacrifice making this information accessible to their patrons. The result, SPARC members say, is the need for a change in the system. SPARC hopes to encourage change by educating the public about problems facing scholarly communication, advocating policy changes which recognize the importance of open access, and incubating real-world business models and demonstrations to prove the plausibility of open access. It hopes that, by making these changes, researchers, publisher partners, libraries, and society as whole can benefit.
Baker, a 21-year-old 2007 graduate of the University of Florida, is one of five SPARC student activists who were recognized by the organization in December 2007 as "SPARC Innovators: Agents of Change."
Baker's online biography said he believes "true success for open access will be the transformation of values, assumptions and strategies by the stakeholders in scholarly communication."
Baker interned at SPARC following his graduation, where he developed a student outreach campaign to raise open access awareness. He also founded the Baker Open Strategies LLC to work towards open access awareness in his own way, citing the groups Science Commons and Creative Commons for ideas and inspiration in his own advocacy work.
On Tuesday, April 14, Baker will visit both Macalester and Carleton Colleges to speak with students about the importance of Open Access.
On Wednesday April 16, Baker will meet with St. Olaf library staff and also hold a panel discussion for St. Olaf students along with Bryn Geffert, St. Olaf College librarian, and Gary Muir, professor of psychology. In this panel, Baker will discuss both the importance of the open access debate and the ways in which college students across the nation can get involved in the cause.
Geffert feels that SPARC's cause is an important one, and one which can make a difference, especially with the current generation of college students. "This is a generation that really appreciates open access," he said.
In addition to attending Gavin Baker's panel, students who want to get involved in the open access movement can visit SPARC's website, http://www.arl.org/sparc, where they can learn about the history of the organization, its members and partners, and what advocates of open access are doing right now.

Pretty but tough Review by JDF
I bought this for my wife to replace another one which was looking tired around the edges. She has a terrible record with iPhones in terms of dropping them and generally giving them a hard life and they are forever at the bottom of her handbag surrounded by whatever girls keep in their handbags ... a lot as far as i can tell. But this thing does a great job and continues to look pretty. I got a good 18 months out of the last one and replaced it with another of the same. When I replaced the cover the phone was still as good as new. The Ted Baker designs are very pretty and I've not seen another one so there is a bit of uniqueness about them too.
