this recipe was terrible! the spice rub was overwhelming and much too spicy. The sauce did not go well with it either. I ended up mixing up the tomatoes, some mayonnaise, and sour cream into a sauce and spreading it over the fish to cover up the spices just so I could avoid throwing the tuna away.

I'm now selling my book from the ongoing PROJECT "Letters from Gringolandia" that started in Brasil this Winter - It's a 38 pages bound in hardcover. Each book will have a different selection of photos taken in Brazil during the months of December (2013) and January (2014) and includes one-of-a-kind handwritten letters/notes/poems. This is part of a series of work I'll be doing in 2014, so all funds will help with that. And of course, you Boston folks can get it delivered in person (no shipping).
If you got this far on reading, I love you.

Mouthwatering coffee to wake up every sense!
I got this machine as a present back in September and ever since I have been hooked on good coffee. This machine is very simple to use, just pop a capsule of desired strength and press one of 2 buttons. The espresso comes out hot with a great froth on top. The cappuccinos are very easy to make as... Read full review »
Love this machine
We had a Capresso espresso machine for a long time and loved having espresso but hated the machine. It was messy and very inconsistent. My husband insisted we buy one of those "pod" espresso machines we saw at Williams Sonoma. I was dead set against it - I figured it could not make decent espresso... Read full review »
Great coffee - good machine
I waffled on this one for awhile. $400 is a lot of money for a coffee machine. I haven't regretted it for an instant since I bought it several months ago.
The coffee is great - I like the Ristretto and Arpeggio blends especially. Dark, syrupy palette-pleasing crema. I had to add some sticky... Read full review »

Wow, is this a great machine. I won mine at a silent auction and didn't know a thing about it. I had an inexpensive 20 year old Krups that was great, but finally died. I replaced it with a newer Krups and was extremely disappointed with the quality and loud noise it made, so I returned it. I saw... Read full review »

I purchased a Breville 800ESXL for my girlfriend. It lasted just one day in our home. I'm not saying it was a bad machine... but it was a "manual".

Don't take that extended vacation you were planning then.
I really do not like the way it appears to be done.
1- 30 days is too short a time. I'd consider it if it were half a year
2- Instead of the game deciding which players are eligible, the Guild Leader should have an option to choose the order in which the Leadership should be awarded. Some people just are not the right kind of people to be leaders and that can just destroy a guild.
3- Before awarding Leadership to someone else, the original Guild Leader should have a word on the change even if he's not in the game.
4- Players can always just create a new guild. If the problem is the guild bank, my first reply is that they shouldnt have placed the items in the bank in the first place. my second answer is that a GM could just decide how to deal with the items in the bank, example, split the gold between the 2 guilds.
This will cause problems with players knowing that the Guild Leader has to stop playing for a couple of months and requests a Guild Leader change followed with stealing everything from the guild and leaving.
1- A half a year is way too long. I was part of a guild with an inactive leader and guess what happened, after a couple months everyone left. 30 days seems just right to me.
2- In a way the GL doed decide this, it goes to the next ranked person. Typically that is either a CO-GL or a high ranking officer. Seems pretty solid to me.
3- The problem in they aren't in game, if they were then there'd be no problem. This whole process comes from a GL that isn't able to function as the GL due to not being there.
4- There's an even bigger problem with just building a new guild. The guild system itself. The Cata guild system is designed to where once you are invested in a guild you lose quite a bit by leaving it. Sure, you could build up everything all over again, but how many people want to go through that repeatedly?
A responsible GL will pass lead to someone trusted if they are going to be gone for an extended period of time. If a GL doesn't do that then there is something wrong and this system seems to be the best solution as far as Blizz is concerned, and I have to say it looks like it's a good one. And as the article said, if you are an active GL you have nothing to worry about.
DarkWalker said...
Guild bank, in the past, was mostly a minor inconvenience.
The two main roadblocks for re-forming the guild are losing the name - and thus whatever recognition the guild had on it's server - and losing the guild level, which nowadays can spell doom to a guild, as most players won't even consider joining a low level guild.
"This will cause problems with players knowing that the Guild Leader has to stop playing for a couple of months and requests a Guild Leader change followed with stealing everything from the guild and leaving."
If the GL has to be gone for two months, he can give guild leadership to a trusted officer until he returns. Alternatively, he can create a rank just below guild leader called "successor" or "trustee" and then promote a single trusted officer to that rank. (Said officer would need to absent for no more than a week.) Thus even though the system would activate, there would only be one person with the ability to exercise it.
Or are you saying there is absolutely NO ONE you can trust in the ENTIRE guild? Wow. What kind of guild do you HAVE?
WrecklessMEDIC said...
Looks like I'll be booting 500 members from my guild this December so I can play SWTOR. Sucks for them, but there's no way I'm gonna let someone take over while I'm on a break. If that's the way it's gotta be then so be it. I worked too hard to get that guild to level 25 and get all the perks.
Now, how long until I break the news to them all? Hmmm....
You guys downranked wreckless but, as a guild leader that is the first thing I thought of as well. Now I have never taken more than a day or two away from WoW since I started playing but believe you me, If I had to leave the game for 30 days and knew I would be back, I would have to consider that. Many GMs don't put much effort into the guild. But I would imagine that the majority put a lot of time and gold and put up with a decent amount of BS to see their guild thrive.
As far as this goes, "once accepted, will transition leadership from the inactive guild leader to the first player to request leadership" - complete crock of shit. I know if the guild got to that point, chances are it is already in turmoil. But seriously? The first officer to click on it? Tell me that is going to go over well? I don't have the best answer for a solution on this, but rolling it out how it is now is going to cause more problems than fix. Yes, an inactive GM could be a festering wound, but this is ripping off the bandages and leaving it open.
The thing is, this was already kinda in place for those in the know. I know 2 guilds who got new guild leaders by talking to a GM who, after checking if the guild leader was inactive for 30 days, passed it to the highest ranking active officer. That's why my guild has specific structure in place that's based on SOCIALIZATION, not progression. If our current guild leader's inactive, the last guild leader is able to take things up. If he's inactive, we have a "successor" rank in place. If they're inactive, we're in some trouble, but the officers are all voted on by the members, so it wouldn't cause a huge amount of drama.
Read officer quarters more. 90% of the issues can be solved with making an explicit guild structure and outlining intents. This is another case of that =)
WrecklessMEDIC said...
Unfortunately for me, the only people I could trust to run my guild while I'm away are taking some time off to play SWTOR with me as well in December. All my best officers are coming with me and we could be gone for months. I'll be damned if I was to come back in a couple months to find I was booted from my own guild by some low-ranking Joe Schmo just cuz he was the only person left online to mooch my guild. Sorry, but screw that noise. I'll be letting the entire guild know very shortly that the guild will be put on an indefinite break this Christmas and I'll be removing every single member. It's just not worth the risk in my opinion.
Missescake said...
@Wreckless Thank Christ you're not *my* guildleader. Then again, when ours took a hiatus, she had the courtesy to pass the top spot off till she returned.
I think what burns me is the idea that a big guild belongs to any one person. You're saying that *you* leveled that guild to 25 by yourself, that *you* are the only one depositing money and mats into the guild bank, that *you* soloed each any every achievement the guild has earned. It would be like a Fortune 500 CEO claiming that the company is his and his alone.
The problem with your assessment of this situation is that people can already boot you right now as guild leader if you're absent for more than 30 days. Even if this automation doesn't make it to live and you take off for another game, the remaining active guild members can call a GM to take over the guild. This automation changes nothing except removes one additional duty that a GM needs to perform.
WrecklessMEDIC said...
As I've said before I will definately be warning all guild members at our next guild meeting that I will be removing them all this December due to the new "Guild Leader Replacement" feature. They can either leave now or continue to use all my level 25 guild perks until "The Great Purge". Doesn't matter to me what they do, but I'm not taking any chances on losing my guild while I'm away. If I have to rebuild it when I come back then so be it. I've done it before and I can do it again.

Scouting In Unusual Weather
With the unusual weather patterns — warm or cold — it will be necessary for growers to stay on top of scouting. Mike Orzolek, a professor of vegetable crops at Pennsylvania State University, suggests scouting once or twice a week for any sign of insects, weeds, or disease.
Because this year is so different from recent years, Orzolek says growers should scout within the first 24 to 72 hours of putting transplants in the ground. For example, he says cucumber beetles could already be in the field and if the grower isn't vigilant in his scouting, he could see wilting of plants, as a result of beetle feeding.
"An infestation can occur overnight reinforcing the need for scouting twice a week," he says. To control this pest, Orzolek tells growers to use 0.5 ounce/square yard floating row cover immediately after seeding or transplanting to keep cucumber beetles from feeding on young seedlings or transplants.
"Planting one or two rows of a trap crop, such as summer squash, next to the cucurbit crop will attract the cucumber beetles to the summer squash and away from cantaloupes, watermelon, pumpkin, and cucumber," he adds.
On top of scouting, Orzolek hones in on the importance of taking notes on what is found in the field. The notes will be a good reference tool as growers look back to see what occurred in previous years, he adds.
Environmental conditions also must be taken into consideration. "For example," says Orzolek, "if it is dry and warm, is the plant getting enough moisture? Is there anything that can be done to enhance the growth of the plant, such as fertilizer and water?"
If a problem is suspected, Orzolek encourages growers to take a picture of the plant and email that photo to an Extension agent. "A visual is much better than having something described over the phone," he concludes. "Plus, with a photo, often we can make a good diagnosis."

She belonged to a friend from church, until....well, now she's ours!
She's one year old, a schnauzer, super-dee-duper friendly.
And my daughter is in love with her.
As in, she told me a few days ago that she thinks she likes dogs better than cats now.
That's big, people. BIG!
That little pup has pretty much got the whole family enamored with her.
And even I, self-acknowledged not-a-dog-person that I am, rather like her.
The doggy smell is one of my biggest complaints against dogs, and hair rather than fur helps with that.
And being excitedly met at the door with a wagging
Truth me told, I'm not big on her name.
"Princess" just seems like a silly name or a dog.
But she was already named when we go her, and well, you try telling a four year old little girl to change a name like that!!
Plus, it suits her.
That's her - A Princess.

Dir: Robert Clouse Scrs: Robert Clouse, Gregory Teifer
Cast: Robert Mitchum, Richard Egan, Leslie Nielsen, George Cheung
1978 / Colour / D Beta / English / Chi & Eng Subtitles / 87min
Robert Mitchum stars as Quinlan, a former DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) agent tracking down an information leak. The investigation takes Quinlan to Hong Kong, where he finds himself in danger with assassins hired by unknown parties. With unique Hong Kong locales like the typhoon shelter, the racecourse and Kai Tak Airport put on full display, the city is practically one of the supporting characters of the film. Those who have only seen Robert Clouse's martial arts films like Enter the Dragon may also be pleasant surprised to see the director's attempt at a neo-noir thriller featuring a jazzy score and an anti-hero protagonist.

Stephanie WilkersonI'd like to say I can't believe it happened, but sadly, outrageously we see stories like this too often. This one happened last month in Tampa, Florida, when school bus driver Stephanie Wilkerson, 40, pushed an 8-year-old girl with autism off the bus, fracturing her ankle in the process.
According to the Tampa Bay Times, it happened on the way to school on September 28. When the girl was trying to get off the bus, Wilkerson told her to wait her turn. For some reason this caused the girl to get angry, and she supposedly slapped and pushed the driver. Obviously that's not acceptable behavior, but anyone who works with special needs children -- and any adult really -- needs to know that physically retaliating isn't okay. That's just what Wilkerson did though.
The paper reports that as the girl stopped on one of the stairs, Wilkerson took her foot and used it to kick the girl off the bus. The girl fell, and her ankle was broken in the process. Fortunately someone called an abuse hotline, and the incident was all caught on a surveillance camera installed on the bus, so it wasn't left to go unpunished ... as I fear too many of these incidents do when it comes to children with special needs.
Working with children who have autism isn't always easy; no one says it is. But there's no behavior or incident that ever makes it okay for an adult to physically abuse a child like this. None.
Fortunately, the school district isn't excusing the woman's actions because the girl was violent first. Steve Hegart, school district spokesperson, told the paper, "It doesn't matter what preceded it. That kind of behavior is not acceptable."
Wilkerson was arrested last week for the incident and faces felony charges of aggravated child abuse. I hope she is prosecuted to the full extent of the law. It won't change what happened to this poor little girl, but we have to send a message that treating children -- any children -- in this manner is not okay and won't be tolerated.
Can you imagine this happening to your child?

Glad she was arrested. She has no right to KICK a child off of a bus, whether that child hit her first or not. Thank God the little girl was not injured more seriously - although a broken ankle is still awful! - but what if she had hit her head on the concrete or something? The whole situation is just a damn shame and the Board of Education should really do personality assessments on all employees who work around children.
I feel like most of the children on the bus would have behaved more acceptably in this situation than this supposed adult. The bus driver should have let the girl off the bus and then went to her teachers to explain what happened.
Are you kidding? I have an autistic child and some times his lack of ability to express his emotions cause him to lash out.No, hitting people is not ok however, teaching as autistic child this can be an on going struggle. Unless you yourslef have had a special needs child or working with them you have no clue how hard it can be.
Lynn the child has autism, and if you have ever known someone with autism and even if you all of them are not the same.. for some it's really hard for them to control their emotions and often show them through anger.. the parents probably took care of that.. but like the man said no matter what happen the 40 yr old shouldn't have responded with violence.. I personally think that even if the child didn't have autism, it didn't give the driver rights to be violent back.. that's for the child's parents and school to decide how the child should be punished... I am seriously afraid to send my child to school with all these reports of teachers and drivers being violent like they have been here recently..

Muldoon crept out to the Scout's base and began pitching pebbles at her window from his hiding spot.
The strange weather had still been beating down upon teufort. High winds, rain and fog covered the land, every day seemed like a lost cause, but both teams were forced to put up with it. Nothing like running to and from the enemy base soaked with rain and utterly cold.
Thankfully the rain had long since left, the skies cloudy as a small veal of fog covered the land. The tapping to her was ignored at first, until she realized that it wasn't hail at all. Book in hand she marched over to the window, opening the blinds and peering out. Noticing Muldoon she couldn't help but lift a brow. The faintest hint of a smile formed as she went to work unlocking and prying open the window, her voice light. " Hey."

The Wiz is no slouch in the gaming department. Outfitted with an Arm9 533MHz processor with a 3D accelerator, 64MB of RAM, 1GB of built-in NAND flash memory, an external SD card slot, a single USB 2.0 connection, a 2.8-inch OLED touch screen panel with a resolution of 320 by 240 and is supported by a 2000mAh Lithium-Ion battery that supposedly gets five hours of play time. It'll launch with commercial games, but the biggest draw should be it's ability to emulate classic titles from NES, Super NES, Genesis, N64 and more. What's cooler you ask? It supports Flash 7, has a media player and a massive community of open source geeks building all sorts of goodies for it.
Expect the Wiz to hit Internet store shelves in October for around $180. You can preorder it here

While I was on vacation most of this week, I saw tweets coming out about North Dakota State University head coach Craig Bohl and current offensive coordinator Brent Vigen heading to the northwest to do some recruiting for Wyoming on December 21 and 22.
In other news, I don't like eggnog that much, White Christmas is my favorite Christmas movie (seriously) and Indiana Jones is the best movie trilogy ever. See what I am getting at here? Who cares. Honestly. At this point, we all understand where Bohl's focus is at. It is in Laramie, Wyoming.
Sure, he will
where wear the green and yellow colors one more
time on January 4th in Frisco, Texas and will be a Bison for one
more day. However, once those 60 minutes run out, he will only be present for
the victory, or defeat, in body. Not in mind.
And it doesn't matter with this team. I think they have proven that in the last couple games with back-to-back dominating wins. They know that what they are doing will only further solidify coach Bohl's legacy with NDSU but why should they care.
They have done enough as individuals to create their own legacy. They are also seasoned enough to go out and execute a game plan regardless of what the current head coach is doing in his off days.
Billy Turner is not going to miss a block because coach Bohl and Vigen are out recruiting for Wyoming. Brock Jensen is not going to miss a throw on the account that his current offensive coordinator is wondering who will be his quarterback next year in Wyoming.
It would be an odd situation and even awkward if this was any other team. A team built off emotions and not execution of the small details. However, this is not a normal team. This is a team that football coaches go to bed dreaming about.
They are balanced, emotionally stable and a talented at every position. Plus, there is not "I" above the team. They know that for them, the legacy they will leave is as the greatest football squad in school history. Coached by the greatest coach in school history.
To make sure those two things are never put into question, they understand they have to finish the job. They have to three-peat and put a perfect season into the record books. Not Towson, Wyoming or even the northwest is going to put an end to that goal.

"Is this the moment?" Harry asked weakly, and when nothing happened except that Ron and Hermione gripped each other still more firmly and swayed on the spot, he raised his voice. "OI! There's a war going on here!"
Ron and Hermione broke apart, their arms still around each other.
"I know, mate," said Ron, who looked as though he had recently been hit on the back of the head with a Bludger, "so it's now or never, isn't it?"
"Never mind that, what about the Horcrux?" Harry shouted. "D'you think you could just —- just hold it in, until we've got the diadem?"
"Yeah —- right —- sorry —-" said Ron, and he and Hermione set about gathering up fangs, both pink in the face.

O'CareTax Is Invalid, All Tax Bills Must Originate In the House

Pelosi will say that she "deemed" it originated in the House of Representatives - sort of like the national budget (or lack thereof) has been for the past four years.
They have simply ignored the law, set themselves above it and absent a change in November, the only thing left for the people is to actively resist. We're not to that point, but the rule of law has been completely ignored by the ObamaNation when it's convenient for them to do so.

This was one of my thoughts, too. But then I read that it *DID* start in the House. The House had already passed a bill having something to do with Veterans - I think it was something about interest rates for VA loans - that the Senate just took and gutted. They dumped all the barrycare junk into this already-passed bill and sent it back to the House for them to vote on their "edits".
The process is called a "shell" bill, and has been done before. It violates the spirit of the Constitution but not the letter.

Capsiplex Review
Being an active member of the high school softball team, I always managed to stay fit. With regular training sessions, matches, and an active lifestyle, I burned a lot of calories. Moreover, my eating habits were not too bad either as I gave preference to healthy and natural foods such as lean meat and vegetables over junk food. However, I never knew that all of this would change soon after graduation.
Why I Went for Capsiplex
After landing a 9 to 5 office job, I was largely stuck to my desk and had no option but to give up on all sorts of physical activities. To compile my problems, my eating habits took a turn for the worse as well, as I started eating what was the most convenient food. Whether it was a burrito or a hamburger from the local burger place, I had anything I could get my hands on. Naturally, I started putting on a lot of weight and gained 25 pounds in a matter of 2 years.
Wanting to do something about my fitness, I booked an appointment with a health expert to seek a way out of my troubles. After several sessions of lengthy discussion, I was told to give weight loss products a try.
Moreover, my health advisor also recommended a weight loss product. As it turned out, the weight loss product I was recommended to was one of the most widely hyped weight loss products out there, a product going by the name of Capsiplex. Here is my review after using Capsiplex for a month.
How Capsiplex Works
With a plethora of weight loss products and supplements available these days, many users might be wondering why Capsiplex is so special. Well, to satisfy your queries, here is the answer:
One of the most potent weight loss products in the market, Capsiplex is essentially a fat burner that has been created from entirely natural ingredients. Fusing together an advanced formula with years of expertise and knowledge, it brings forth the manufacturers efforts to create a successful yet safe weight loss product.
As far as the ingredients are concerned, Capsiplex is not what you would call innovative or truly ground breaking. However, the product still manages to outdo various other products and this is solely down to the impressive combination of its ingredients. After years of research, the creators of Capsiplex have managed to come up with a formula that not only helps individuals burn extra fat, but it also helps them exert significant control over the appetite and increase the rate of their metabolism.
Performance of Capsiplex
If the product is to be judged by reviews, then Capsiplex really does work. However, as all weight loss products work differently on different people due to the varying nature of our bodies, I wasn't in the mood to let the online reviews have an influence on me. If Capsiplex was to standout, it had to do so by delivering results and nothing else.
Fortunately, my experience with the product was nothing short of exceptional and I have to admit that I could not help but become a fan. Not only did Capsipelx help me lose weight (I lost around 22 pounds), but it also led me towards a healthier lifestyle by altering my eating habits. Furthermore, by providing my body with additional energy, it enabled me to perform my work duties in a much better manner.
How I See Capsiplex
A comprehensive weight loss product, Capsiplex deserves all the hype it has been receiving. With an advanced formula and natural ingredients, it stands head and shoulders above the competition. Moreover, it not only helps individuals lose weight, but also helps them enhance their productivity skills.

PERMANENT STAFFArtistic Director and PerformerGuy DartnellAdministrative ManagerColin Watkeys
ARTISTIC POLICYGuy Dartnell is an international award-winning solo and collaborative artist whose work spans the realms of theatre, music, dance, circus and film. His solo work is often personal and/or semi-autobiographical, mixing a conversational style of delivery with a highly dynamic synthesis of voice, movement, improvisation and imagery. He has also recently started working with film, both narrative-feature and abstract 'physical-music' films. A co-director with Tom Morris of Oogly Boogly, he also collaborates with Improbable and Lone Twin Theatre and is a BAC and Merlin Theatre Frome associate artist.
REVIEW EXTRACTS'Guy Dartnell's work stands out... Dartnell is remarkably human and has a knack for irreverent storytelling unmarred by excessive pretence, artifice or bitter irony.' The Oregonian, Portland'A daringly inventive piece of theatre that arrives on the fringe like a blast of fresh air.' Time Out Award Winner (Would Say Something)'One of the most exhilarating and moving shows of the (Melbourne) festival… a telling expression of human communication... synchronised perfection.' The Age, Melbourne (Oogly Boogly)
CURRENT PRODUCTIONSSomething or Nothing Solo interdisciplinary and video style performance that explores the paradoxes and contradictions surrounding our need to identify ourselves as 'something', even just as an 'I'.

With Randy Carlyle returning with an extension in hand behind the Leafs bench, the culture change Tim Leiweke promised at Brendan Shanahan's introductory press conference may come in the form of a trade of the team's captain.
TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger addressed the Dion Phaneuf rumours on TSN Radio 1050 Monday, saying although the Leafs may not be "shopping" their No. 1 defenceman, he is not considered untouchable and GM Dave Nonis would be willing to listen to offers.
"The Toronto Maple Leafs are not shopping him," Dreger said. "They're not shopping Jake Gardiner and Nazem Kadri, but teams know that if there's an offer made – or the right offer made – that Toronto would consider that."
Dreger noted he had spoken with Nonis over the weekend, with the GM saying the team isn't engaged in active conversations regarding Phaneuf, and have not done so since this past trade deadline.
Fellow TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie also weighed in on the Phaneuf rumours, saying that although there have not been any recent conversations, the Leafs would not be opposed to a trade.
"I think under the right circumstances, the Leafs would move him, and I think at various times over the course of the year they flirted with that notion, but I don't think right at this moment, the Toronto Maple Leafs are in a hard-sell on we've got to get rid of Dion Phaneuf and go in a different direction, but they're all ears if somebody's interested," McKenzie said.
Comparing Phaneuf's situation to the Jason Spezza rumours that have surfaced recently, both Dreger and McKenzie agree that of the two captains, Spezza is the more likely candidate to be dealt as the longtime Senator is reportedly open to a change.
Despite owning a seven-year, $49-million deal that kicks in next season, the Leafs captain does not have a no-movement clause, giving GM Dave Nonis the flexibility to potentially unload him.
In reference to the culture change comments made by Leiweke, The Globe and Mail's James Mirtle said whether it's a deal involving Phanuef or some other pieces on the Leafs' roster, change is likely to happen.
"If you're keeping the coach, then something else has to change, and I don't think they're just going to change the assistant coaches," Mirtle told TSN Radio 1050. "It makes sense to look at what kind of value he has on the market."
Despite having his detractors, Mirtle said Phaneuf is still a valuable piece that has misused by the Leafs.
"Phaneuf's got limitations certainly, and the Leafs don't particulary work around those limitations that well," Mirtle said, referencing how Phaneuf has been successful being a second-pairing defenceman that can contribute in an offensive way.
"It seems in Toronto they've tried to recast him as this defensive stalwart – Shea Weber-type – that can kill penalties and play against other teams top lines, 25-26 minutes a night and I've never understood why that's the case.
"You can have a six or $7-million defenceman that doesn't do it all and still get value out of him."
Mirtle mentioned Edmonton, Dallas and Minnesota as potential landing spots for Phaneuf, saying he would fit in nicely in a No. 2 role behind Ryan Suter with the Wild.

Felipe asked me back out the other day and I was in shock O_o I said that we should wait it out until the end of the summer to see how our friendship goes. If everything goes good then we'd get back together when school starts =). I hope he's not messing with me, but it didn't seem like he was. He put the "-___-" face when I was like are there any hidden cameras, am I being punked? Lol.
Oh and Michael trying to pop himself in again. I mean your cute kid, but you live in Georgia. It's not going to happen. I am not going there you are not going there. We live in two different worlds. I doubt we have any chemistry so we're just saving each other the trouble. I wouldn't mind being your friend. Talking how two normal friendly people do, but one a "I want to talk to you level" not going to happen or any level your on.
Gerard your cute your cool, but your a tad young. Your random I love it, but idk. It's 'cause I'm still in love and stuff. Feelings don't go away that fast. But I love hanging out with you hun ;p. It's always interesting.
And I was talking to Carlos yesterday and I'm like I don't know what to choose… my freedom to do whatever I please and meet new people or choose him. I want a balance, but I know there will be trust issues if I'm the way I am right now. I want him to trust me and not worry I'm going to be doing something wrong. Well that's the future anyways. I'll let things flow and see how that goes.

The first quarter of the season is complete and the Jets are 2-2. They lost today to the Titans in Tennessee in ugly fashion. Here are the quick hits:
1) Geno Smith's ball security was terrible – In the first half Smith threw two bad interceptions and lost a fumble when he did not protect the ball with two hands. In the second half he tried to switch the ball from one hand to the other while he was being sacked behind his back and lost it for a Tennessee touchdown. Smith's turnovers let the Titans have 28 points off of those turnovers as the defense could not bail them out. Smith was almost sacked for a safety when a screen went bad and he was not outside of the tackle box. He did not have an awareness of where he was on the field just like in the Giants preseason game. He also got forced out of bounds on a 3rd down scramble that he could have made more of an effort to get by cutting back inside and taking the hit. These are the ups and downs of a rookie quarterback as he had 3 really good 3rd down throws for completions on 3rd and longs but he needs to get past this because he gave the Jets no chance to win with his play. Smith was 23/34 for 289 yards with one TD (Cumberland) and two interceptions. Holmes only had one catch on five targets for 25 yards and left with a hamstring injury. Winslow had 6 catches for 72 yards. Kerley had 4 catches for 65 yards.
2) Defense cannot stop Jake Locker - Locker lit the Jets up in the first half to the tune of 16-19 for 130 yards and three touchdowns. That included a backbreaking touchdown on the last play of the 1st half to blow the game open. When his first read was open his decisions were immediate and correct. He has still not had a turnover this season in stark comparison to Geno Smith's 10 for the year. As good as the Jets were at taking Chris Johnson out of the game and as good as the pass rush continues to be with two more sacks in the first half (Barnes, Pace) the Jets are not covering well in the secondary with Walls getting torched especially as well as the fact they are not forcing turnovers. Smith needs the help of having short fields and the defense needs to help him out. Wilkerson knocked Locker out of the game in the 3rd quarter with a semi-late hit that seemed to break Locker's hip. That brought in Ryan Fitzpatrick who was terrible but even he threw a 77 yard touchdown to Nate Washington that was aided by the referee not getting out of the way and Cromartie getting beat on a double move.
3) Bilal Powell continues to impress - Bilal Powell had 9 carries for 51 yards in the first half as well as a catch on a check down that he turned into 36 yards on his own. A lot of the yardage was up the middle then cutting back the same as last week. He looks like one of the top backs in the league right now and a very pleasant surprise. However score and situation took him away in the second half as he finished with 66 yards on 14 carries and 3 catches for 42 yards.

7 nasty credit myths that won't die
If you want to avoid problems with lenders, landlords, insurers and others, it pays to know the difference between credit fact and credit fiction.
More than a decade has passed since the vault cracked open and we started learning how credit scores really work.
For years, the creators of the leading credit scoring formula, the FICO, didn't want consumers to know the scores existed, let alone what went into them. In early 2000, however, E-Loan started letting customers see their FICO scores. That free experiment was quickly shut down, but the secret was out.
Pressure from consumer advocates and lawmakers finally persuaded the FICO creators -- a company named Fair Isaac, now known simply as FICO -- to reveal later that year the 22 factors, grouped into five categories, that went into creating its scores.
We've been adding to our knowledge ever since. But all these years later I'm still hearing many of the stupid myths about credit and credit scoring that prevailed more than a decade ago, plus some that have sprung up since.
(This story was updated in April 2013. See"Don't fall for these 7 credit myths")
These myths aren't just annoying. Their prevalence is keeping people from understanding one of the most important numbers in their financial lives. Credit scores are used:
- By lenders, to determine whether you're approved for loans or credit cards, along with the interest rates and terms you get.
Liz Weston
- By insurers, to set premiums.
- By cell phone companies, to see who qualifies for a contract and who doesn't.
- By utilities, to determine whether you need to leave a deposit and how much.
- By landlords, to decide who gets apartments and rental houses.
Failing to understand credit scores and how they work, in other words, really can put a dent in your financial life.
Here are the seven most dangerous myths that need to be dispelled:
Myth No 1: "If you handle your finances responsibly, your credit scores will take care of themselves."
Fact: A credit score is not a financial-health score. It doesn't measure your income, assets or financial savvy. There are some behaviors that may be good for your wallet that aren't good for your scores.
Keep in mind that credit scoring formulas have one primary purpose: to help lenders gauge the likelihood you'll default, based on how you handle credit. If you stop using credit or use it in a way the formulas don't like -- using only one card, shutting down a bunch of accounts or maxing out your cards, even if you then pay them off in full -- your scores could suffer.
Myth No. 2: "Checking your credit hurts your credit scores."
Fact: Checking your own credit reports and scores does not affect your scores. Period.
A credit check could hurt you if you asked a friend at a bank or car dealership to pull your credit reports. Such transactions probably would be coded as "hard" inquiries, or as applications for credit, which could ding your scores.
But checking your own credit is otherwise a non-event.
This persistent myth is particularly destructive, because it discourages people from knowing what's going on with their credit reports and scores. Many reports contain serious errors that result in your being turned down for a loan or paying a much higher interest rate than you deserve. You need to visit AnnualCreditReport.com at least once a year to view your free credit reports from the three bureaus and dispute any serious errors. If you'll be in the market for a major loan, such as a mortgage or an auto loan, you'd be smart to buy your FICO scores from myFICO.com to see how lenders are likely to view your application and get tips from improving your numbers.
Myth No. 3: "Asking for lower limits will help your credit."
Fact: Having sizable credit limits is a good thing for your scores, as long as you don't use them to run up debt.
Lenders like to see a big gap between your available limits and the amount of credit you're actually using. A lower limit reduces that gap, which can be bad news for your credit scores.
Of course, if you can't trust yourself not to use your available credit, the damage to your credit scores may be the least of your worries. Otherwise, though, you probably should leave your credit limits alone.
Myth No. 4: "You need to carry a credit card balance to have good scores."
Fact: You don't need to be in debt or pay a penny of interest to have good credit scores.
Your credit reports and scores don't "know" whether you're carrying a balance or paying it off in full every month. That's because the balance reported to the credit bureaus typically is the balance from your last statement, not what was left over after you got that statement and paid the bill. So you might as well pay in full and save yourself the interest.
This myth encourages people to carry unnecessary debt, putting them at the mercy of credit card issuers and eroding their financial security.
Myth No. 5: "You should never close an account if you can help it."
Fact: The prevailing myth used to be that closing accounts could help your scores, which, we've learned, isn't true. But the knowledge that shutting accounts can hurt your scores has caused some people to balk at closing credit accounts, even when they probably should.
If your issuer is charging you a fee you don't want to pay, for example, closing a card or two shouldn't be a crisis if you have good scores, other open accounts and no plans to apply for credit in the immediate future. If you do plan to apply for a mortgage, car loan or new credit card, though, you should hold off on closing any accounts until after you've been approved.
Myth No. 6: "How you handle credit indicates how trustworthy you are."
Fact: People get in financial trouble for all kinds of reasons, including simply getting sick (medical bills were a factor in nearly two-thirds of consumer bankruptcies in 2007, according to Harvard University researchers).
There's no evidence of a link between information on credit reports and the likelihood an employee will commit fraud, but employers persist in thinking there is. (By the way, employers typically use credit reports to evaluate applicants, not credit scores.)
Furthermore, there is evidence that employers are abusing their power to review credit reports Some states have already banned or limited pre-employment credit checks, and a bill was introduced in 2009-2010 session of Congress to do the same, although the legislation didn't go anywhere.
Myth No. 7: "All credit scores are pretty much the same."
Fact: There are hundreds of different credit scoring formulas. Even the scoring formula used by most lenders, the FICO, comes in different iterations. One lender may use the most up-to-date formula while another might use an older version that gives a different result. There are FICOs tweaked to accommodate car lenders, credit card lenders and finance companies, in addition to the "classic" FICO used by most mortgage lenders.
Some purveyors of other scoring formulas point to these different versions to try to convince people that it doesn't matter which score you get, since there are so many variations. Indeed, if you're simply looking for a guidepost as you try to shore up your finances, any of them can give you an idea of your credit's relative strength.
But if there's real money at stake, you want to get a score that's at least in the same ballpark as the one your lender will be using, and that's typically a FICO. If you're buying a credit score that doesn't say it's a FICO, it's not a FICO -- and it could be dozens or even hundreds of points different from the one your lender sees.

Funny just a few weeks ago I read an article right here on this web page that contradicts a few "myths" this article tells you. I look at it this way: I will NOT be kept on the hamster wheel. I got off paid off my credit cards & will NEVER have them again. I now have over $10,000 in my savings account. WOW! And to think all this $$ was going to credit cards & interest!
As far as buying a house or car huge down payments talk everything else walks.
I have to agree with Shalyse.
Since the average consumer has little protection against credit card companies and our own credit scores,,I believe the best way to stay out of financial trouble is to try to AVOID using credit when possible. Some parts of this article may be true but not ALL. I remember years ago one attorney told me "Credit card companies represents America's biggest scam"
Its so unfortunate that good credit is required for so many applications that shouldn't be,,,like jobs and apartment dwelling. Our entire credit system needs an overhaul
I'm dept free and already have all the "Stuff" I need.
Cash is my friend.
What others think be damned.
I was told I should utilize my credit cards more to build credit...but....so far I have had no trouble getting by.
I travel for fun which is pretty much the only time I use them and life is good.
I invision evil little trolls in a dark cavern, somewhere, just cursing my ability to function outside of the credit system.
It makes me smile.
Think about it, credit scores are only important to the lender or the people attempting to get the lender to lend to them.
Those scores are little more than a rating of what you have done credit wise.
It is not a reflection of your worth, you could have had NO REASON to borrow, in which case your score would have been lower than someone who did borrow and paid back late or never, probably a "0"!
You may have been TOO QUICK at paying back, (nothing less than a two year period is any score at all)!
The score is only important......................IF YOU WANT OR NEED TO BORROW.............OR, MORE IMPORTANTLY...............DO NOT HAVE ANY COLATERAL (AN OLD AND SELDOM USED TERM SINCE THE MODERN CREDIT DAYS OF "NOTHING DOWN, FOREVER TO PAY")!
It took me almost a month to get a loan on my present house because I always paid debt off ASAP..................YET THE 30YR MORTGAGE ON THIS HOUSE WAS PAID OFF IN 3YR, 3MOS, so tell me............how well does the score represent what the lender needs?
In this case, very well, ..............because they didn't want to make a small interest return that came from early retirement of the loan, but due to law were still forced to do the loan.
Thier (the lenders) job is to make (or get my money) and my job is to attempt to keep my money............and I give a crap about any credit score until, or more clearly..........IF, I ever HAVE to borrow again!
For instance, on Experian and TransUnion my score is 730 and I am deemed "very low risk"; however, on Equifax I am 655 and deemed "medium risk". Same info on all 3. Sadly, Equifax is the Bureau most credit companies check.
I was recently turned down for a Bestbuy Card despite good income because they check Equifax. The odd thing is that their online response came back within a second of submission. Hard to imagine how it could have been checked that quickly considering that Bestbuy claims to look at much more than just the score.
My experience is that unless you already have credit cards, you can't get a credit card. I have also heard that Equifax scores this aspect very highly and the reason why their score is so much lower than everyone elses.
Face it, the banks are in league with the credit bureaus. The are holding your credit hostage until you agree to use their wildly overpriced credit cards. I only wanted to apply for the Bestbuy card because they give you 18 months interest free if you pay off the balance, not a bad deal.
Why is that? It seems utilities and cell phone companies only report if you DON'T pay but not if you are a great customer.
you see my point, I was checked by ATT 2 times and passed, I am afraid now that all of these credit checks will effect my score and maybe the third time they will check I wont be approved?
No one seems to know what is going on as Equifax swears there is no block but the credit card company swears there is. Apparently since no one has any idea why this is happening there is nothing I can do about it.
It should be a crime to charge higher interest to those with lesser credit ratings or credit scores.
Higher interest rate does not reduce the risk.
The risk of lending money (or credit) remains the same whether the interest rate is 1% or 1000%. This is just a ploy to squeeze money out of those; who are young, who would prefer to use money, who made poor choices, or who are victims of circumstances, beyond their control.
I say, use cash and let them steal someone else's money.

Denim Watch: Day 10
James Devaney/WireImage/Getty Images
Katie Holmes debuted a new pair of jeans on her routine walk to rehearsals for All My Sons on Saturday. This pair of late 70′s inspired, high-waisted jeans look elegant on Katie's frame (20 x better than last weeks pair). The high-waisted backlash to the ultra low rise cuts of the last few years has been met with mixed reviews, some claiming that the higher waist flattens one's derriere and reminds most people under 40 of their moms. Others argue that the high waist appears to elongate one's legs. Hilary Duff, Mischa Barton, Kiera Knightly are amongst those who have embraced the trend. Katie has found a pair that fits well, and flatters. What is your call on high-waisted jeans? Check out this lightbox of high-waisted styles, past and present.

Supervalu, Albertsons Hit By New Data Breach
Bloomberg is reporting that both Albertsons and Supervalu - which used to own some Albertsons stores until selling them to AB Acquisition LLC - are saying that the computer networks that they have in common may have been hacked yet again, during the period of Aug. 27 through Sept. 21.
KC's View:
I have to imagine as companies like these - and Home Depot, and Target, and their brethren - deal with hacking problems, they and every other retail company out there has to start adding major dollars to the budget lines that deal with computer and consumer security. That's going to be a line of demarcation - when companies announce that they've been hacked, we're all going to want to know how much money they spent trying to stop it from happening. If they haven't put major dollars against this issue, they'll be deemed untrustworthy.

Walmart Opens Drive-Up Grocery Depot in Bentonville
City Wire reports that Walmart has opened its first Walmart Pickup Grocery service to registered customers in Northwest Arkansas, hoping that it will "bridge the digital and physical retail worlds."
KC's View:
Companies that test out these kinds of concepts, feeling for the soft spots and the hard opportunities that may be out there, strike me as very smart … because I'm not sure we yet have a concrete sense of what the next generation of shoppers will want. I'm pretty sure they'll demand relevance, but it remains a little unclear how that relevance will end up being realized.

7-Eleven To Test Healthier Food Line
USA Today reports that convenience store chain 7-Eleven "today will roll out a test in Southern California with an eye on changing that. Some 104 stores in the Los Angeles market will begin to sell a line of what the chain calls 'nutritionally balanced' fresh sandwiches, wraps and salads — and even cold-pressed juices — under the banner of fitness guru Tony Horton Kitchen." Horton, the story notes, "is the health and fitness executive whose DVD home workout series P90X has sold more than 4 million copies. More recently, he's delved into better-for-you foods."
KC's View:
I've never heard of Tony Horton. When I first saw the name, I thought of Tony Robbins, and I wondered why the self-styled life coach was getting into the food business. And then I thought it was Tim Horton's, and wondered when doughnuts got to be nutritionally balanced…
