Fullerton Personal Loan FAQ's
Who can apply for a Personal Loan?
Fullerton Personal Loan is available for salaried individuals as well as self-employed individuals.
Do I need to hypothecate my assets or provide any other collateral to avail a Personal Loan from Fullerton India?
You do not need to hypothecate any assets to avail a Personal Loan from Fullerton India.
What is the maximum loan amount I can avail?
You can avail up to ` 20 Lakhs if you are salaried and ` 30 Lakhs if you are a self- employed businessman. The actual loan amount eligibility will be calculated based on your income and other parameters that the Fullerton India Relationship Manager will explain.
What is the minimum and maximum Loan tenor I can avail?
You can repay your loan over a period of 12 months to 48 months.
How much would I need to repay each month?
At the time of booking of your loan, the EMI (Equated Monthly Installments) will be calculated based on the loan amount sanctioned, interest rate and the tenor.
What is an EMI?
EMI or 'Equated Monthly Installment' is the convenient monthly amount that you have to service to pay back the loan availed. The EMI consists of both the principal and interest components.
Can I foreclose or prepay my loan?
You can foreclose your loan after a minimum period of 6 Months.
Is there any advantage that I can get if I have already availed a Fullerton India loan earlier?
Yes, if you are an existing customer of Fullerton India, you will get additional benefits on the processing time as well as the interest rate. What's more, you will be eligible for a pre-qualified Top Up on your existing Principal Outstanding.
Why shouldn't I avail my sudden need for cash through a 'cash advance' on my credit card?
Your credit card can be an option, but withdrawing cash using a credit card can turn out to be very costly if you do not repay it quickly. Interest rates on credit card cash withdrawals can go as high as 40 per cent on an annual basis depending on the type of card you use and you also do not get the interest free period to pay back. In short, interest is charged from the moment you withdraw the cash. There is also an additional transaction charge that is levied on the withdrawal at the ATM. In comparison, a Personal Loan is cheaper and the repayment can be spread over a long period.

Quaranta Returns
As expected, D.C. United has officially announced a new contract for midfielder-forward Santino Quaranta, whose 2008 base salary of $35,000 was near the senior roster minimum and loaded with incentives. Per league policy, terms of the new deal were not disclosed. After recovering from drug abuse and the imminent end of his career, the 24-year-old Baltimore native set personal records in games played (27), starts (23) and minutes played (1,963), and tied his mark for goals (five).
After using Quaranta on the right flank, forward and central midfield in 2008, how do you think United should handle him this season?
Expect the club to soon announce new contracts for Devon McTavish and Marc Burch. Still no word on the status of negotiations with another defender, veteran Bryan Namoff, who is out of contract.

Is time running out on Namoff? Seems that if it drags out his options are limited and United holds the upper hand.

'Tino is reprezentin us East Baltimore Brothers. Getting in a hole is easy. Workin your way out of it is hard as h@ll sometimes. But our boy has done it. And keeps on doin it.
I hope that he is gettin at least $60k this year. I hope that it is a one year deal so that he can keep progressing and make more coin next year.
As far as where Dude plays, I say play him in the middle but I personally think that he is great on the flank. That is where I think I would prefer to see him.

I am completely pulling this out of my er, um imagination but would it surprise anyone if Namoff heads to Scandavia? Say, Denmark? Maybe Sweden?
Posted by: yankiboy | January 6, 2009 2:48 PM | Report abuse
I like him on the wing, he has those nice runs from wing play like that of christiano ronaldo, in that he is a winger but can burst through with his speed and dribbling.
Hes no replacement for Moreno nor is he a classic '10'. He is IMO good at what is doing on the wing, and at scoring when he is running forward. Not a great distributor of the ball, and can at best work well with more talented players that are like that around him.
With that said he is good at what he does on the wing, and for now he is good there, like benny was.

I think Tino would be best deployed as the second striker if DCU continues to field a 4-4-2 as the primary formation. He could also get some time on the wing in either a 4-4-2 or a 4-3-3 set up, but to me he's probably the best suited to be a long-term successor to Jaime out of the current options.

What makes me happy about resigning Tino is that he has been good in the midfield and up front and makes a great back up player to fill in any hole in the attack. It's a great luxury in MLS to be able to field a go to guy like him.
I think he's at his strongest in a withdrawn forward or high midfielder mostly because he is very good about coming back to defend.

Posted by: Curious99 | January 6, 2009 6:56 PM | Report abuse
Quaranta will probably see time at multiple positions, just like last year. I think we'll see him, Fred, and Guerrero all cycle in and out of the lineup on the wings based on our opponent and what went on at training. You'll also see him up front to give Moreno the occasional rest and/or to give us a different look from Emilio and Doe leading the line. He'll also see time in attacking midfield, since the team has no current options there other than Gallardo (Dyachenko does not count). Considering Gallardo's history, there's no doubt in my mind that Tino or someone else we haven't acquired yet will have to play (at best) several games there. There will be very few games that go by where Tino doesn't see significant minutes somewhere on the field.
I don't see a formation change on the books unless we start making multiple moves. I suppose we could play 433, but that means no Guerrero and only one of Quaranta or Fred so we can start Vide as the 3rd central midfielder. I don't think you'll find too many fans of that. We simply don't have the defenders to play 3 in the back, since none of them is an organizer (and with the departure of Martinez, none is particularly fast either). Now, we need more athleticism and leadership in central defense no matter what our formation, but a 3 man backline will only further emphasize what we lack in those categories at this point. There's also the fact that we would have no good box-to-box midfielder for a 352 (barring what would be the wondrous recovery of Olsen), and no one particularly well cut-out to play on the right. Really, the current team is set for 442 and not much else.
Posted by: Chest_Rockwell | January 6, 2009 6:59 PM | Report abuse
Good news, and happy that it's some of the first real news we've heard since Christmas.
timc3 I do wish we could see Quaranta playing as a forward all the time, but I'll expect to see him playing where they need him as they did last season. Still can't help but think he was robbed of the Come back player award, and recalling him being forced to play all over the place only reinforces that. I swore he would have had 5 more goals last year if he'd had the opportunity to play in one spot and get comfortable in his role there.
I'm phyched for the dude, and all the shifting and shuffling has got to be building his character and self worth on and off the field. A little more composure and letting off some of his shots a step quicker and I feel like he could REALLY shine.
Awesome news!
Rock on Tino!

Great news for Tino. Like him best as right wing or 2nd striker. Wish we'd sign Namoff - he was the one reliable back.

I'd like to see Santino used more as a striker. I think he's at his best offensively when he doesn't have to worry about defending. More aggressive and creative.

Here is the link where they talk about already re-signing Simms...
Sounds like they are planning on holding on to him for awhile: "We are very pleased to have re-signed Clyde to another long term deal," said United General Manager Dave Kasper. "He has worked his way into becoming one of our most consistent performers the past two seasons, and a very respected holding midfielder in MLS. At 26, we look forward to Clyde being an important part of our future for years to come."

Hope Santino is still young enough to get a 2nd shot w/National team.

to provide computer service:
equipment and manpower.
For development,
employees such as
programmers and systems analysts are needed;
for operation,
the services of managers, operators, etc., are essential.
In practice the two activities usually coexist.
Some sort of computer installation
is required
to check out development efforts.
And almost every installation
engages in continuing development
as old systems are modified and new ones begun."
The above suggests that Devops is not at all a new concept. Forty-five years ago, computer rental cost slightly more than the Devops staff required to use it. Non-personnel operations cost typically rounded out the final third of the total cost. Today, hardware is cheap and people are expensive.
So, what did a Devops organization look like forty-five years ago? The table below presents some data gathered in a "nation-wide census of data processing personnel" in 1967.
How do these wages add up in today's dollars?
Check out
Compared to my experience over the past couple decades, this seems to be heavy on management — both in cost and percent of personnel. The roles of computer operator and librarian are pretty much gone. Programming and analyst roles have since blurred. Software has replaced many things that people used to do. As the user base has moved from specialist operators to the general public, new testing and user experience design roles have evolved.
What else has changed?
What do you think devops will look like forty-five years into the future?

Last summer, a friend of mine brought me a baby pool for my dog that he found on Freecycle.
Meghan loves to get in the baby pools at doggie daycamp, so I quickly pulled out the hose and began filling the pool.
It didn't take long to discover a large crack in the bottom of the pool. Argh!!! The pool would not hold water.
What to do? The pool was too large to fit in my car, so I couldn't haul it to the dump. My friend who brought it to me did not want to take it off my hands. I was stuck…
…until I decided to try the pool as a planter. Maybe it would work for carrots and beets, two things that don't grow well in my mostly clay soil.
Fast forward a year, and I've finally gotten my act together to create my new planter.
I placed the pool on several layers of plastic, in an area of my back yard that gets afternoon shade. According to the seed packets, this is necessary in a hot climate like mine.
I then cut quite a few more holes for drainage.
I then mixed up some soil, sand, compost and manure.
I pulled out the carrots, beets and parsley demi-long. I think I ordered that last packet by mistake, as I have no idea what it is!
Carrots are on the left, parsley demi-long in the middle, and beets on the right.
We'll see how my pool planter works. Meanwhile, it's time to pull out the new, leak-free baby pool so Meghan and I can cool off.

Two injured in accident early Tuesday morning
According to Michigan State Trooper Brian McComb, Don Wheeler, 51, of Pigeon pulled out of his driveway and was traveling northbound on Gagetown Road around 7 a.m. Tuesday when he failed to stop at the stop sign.
McComb reports Wheeler's 1993 full sized Chevy pickup was struck by a westbound 1994 Pontiac Grand Prix driven by Melissa A. Deming, 20, of Kinde, as Wheeler entered the intersection of Gagetown and Stein roads.
Both Wheeler and Deming were transported by Scheurer Ambulance to Scheurer Hospital. They were later released.
Police reports indicate Wheeler was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash. Deming had her seat belt fastened at the time of the crash.
McComb was assisted at the scene by Elkton police, Huron County sheriff's deputies, Winsor Township firefighters and Scheurer Ambulance personnel.

CFDb Interviews Chester Branch ~ Script Consultant
Chester Branch, author of the book, Holy Subtext, has obtained several degrees that focus specifically on Christological content coding: BA in Film and Theology, MA in Directing, and MFA in Screenwriting. While working on his Doctorate, he works as a script consultant and develops screenwriting classes.
= > How/Why did you get involved with script consulting?
The reason I wanted to get involved with script consulting is because I've always been drawn to the power of story-telling; not just the story itself but the story behind the story. Tolkien and Lewis argue that the Grand Narrative (i.e. the Gospel) is embedded in all aspects of culture. The film and TV culture has always interested me the most. As a consultant and prof., I want to make as many people aware of this Gospel message as possible.
The way I got involved was in 2004 when the Young Audiences of Virginia Organization asked me to help develop a script targeting specific educational SOLs in Virginia.
= > How long have you been a script consultant?
I have been a script consultant for 7 years. This includes guest lectures, one-on-one clients, and developing screenwriting classes for universities.
= > What company are you working for now? What does your job entail?
I work with several companies and universities like Regent U, Screenwriting Basics, and St. Augustine's College but my own company is called Parables Today.
= > Do you do outside consulting work? If yes, please give your contact
information for people who may want to obtain your services.
Yes. You can reach me at email@example.com or my blog http://tinyurl.com/parables2day
= > Are there any scripts that you did consulting for that we might have heard of?
Most of these films are in pre-production but I did recently consult an award winning filmmaker who is working on the Helen Baylor film. This is a story that is fairly popular in the African American Christian community.
= > What is your most favorite script consulting job?
That's easy, all of them.
= > How would you rate the importance of social media for anyone wanting to get
involved in writing scripts, producing films, or distributing films?
I would rate the importance pretty high. I wrote a blog about how social media can help you get into the screenwriting industry called 'I Wrote a Great Script, Now what?.'
Here is the link: http://parablestoday.blogspot.com/2010/11/i-wrote-great-script-now-what.html
But social media touches on a deeper issue: Transmedia storytelling and transmodernism. I also wrote an article on how transmodernism has eclipsed postmodernism. Social media has taken high-concept, mega-branding, and transmedia storytelling to the next level.
= > In your opinion, which are the top 3 social media outlets for anyone in the filmmaking industry?
This depends on whether you are in pre-production, production, or post-production.
Facebook for example saved the Narnia films through petition. Twitter and You Tube practically created Justin Beiber and brought success to his Never say Never film. Then there's a battle now between Hulu, Netflix, and what will soon be Google TV. I guess it is hard for me to pick but I would say Facebook, Twitter, and the Blogosphere.
We live in an age of what Toffler calls 'prosumerism.' I think Google TV and Apple TV will allow filmmakers and TV shows to take story worlds like Lost to a whole new interactive level.
= > What recommendations would you give to script writers who are just starting out?
I would recommend that they just write every day. Writing one page a day equals a 90 page script in three months. And to paraphrase M.C. Walker, writing every day is one way that God speaks to you.

These American Black Duck pics were taken last weekend we were down the Cape looking at potential wedding venues. Naturally I wanted to go birding while we were out there. One of the places we were looking at was in Provincetown, and we stayed overnight Friday since we had a morning appointment on Saturday. The hotel we were staying at is out on the end of the point, right on the beach. I was excited to see what the birding would be like in the morning, and just my luck- it was low tide! I got up around 7:00 and walked out to take pictures of the various ducks out on the sand bar.
Here you can see the male feeding. American Black Ducks are dabbling ducks- they feed either by skimming the surface of the water, or by dabbling and reaching items in shallow water as shown in my pictures below. The American Black Duck diet includes aquatic insects, crustaceans, and small fish, which this duck may have been after:
In this picture you can see the male preening. You can also see one of the identifying features for black ducks- the blue patch on the wing. The main difference between the male and female American Black Duck is the beak as far as I've been able to tell- the male black duck's bill is more yellowish.
More Provincetown duck pictures to come!

Good point and interesting link. However, Amanda S. found it it the display case of her local baker. I suppose it could be a custom order that was never picked up but knowing the astounding frequency with which cakes are wrecked, I'm inclined to say it wasn't.
"Happy Eappy" has kind of a nice ring to it, actually.

eappy- that's the new spring holiday where we dip rabbits in choclate and stake them with tulips, right?
That's actually kind of cute
Happy Eappy????
Spell check?
Happy Easter!
Somehow this just seems ripe for song parody to me:
Happy Eappy's here again,
The cake is wrong, I fear, again,
Let us eat it with some beer again,
Happy Eappy's here again!
Forget your spelling, c'mon, get Eappy,
You know there's gonna be heck to pay.
Shout "How'd I do that?", c'mon, get Eappy,
Get ready for the judgment day!
or, for the kids:
If you're Happy and you know it, clap your Eap!
from Cake Wrecks in the South Pacific:
Happy Eap, keep talking Happy Eap!
Talk about cakes that have a gaffe.
You got to wreck a cake,
If you don't wreck a cake,
How you gonna have a great big laugh?
And, for those who know their Easter hymns:
"Welcome, Happy Eappy!" age to age shall say:
"Spelling here is vanquished, wreckage wins today!"
Lo! the words are icing, stuck forevermore.
And this wreckerater we can all deplore!
wv - ingest.
Can't wait to see the good ones tomorrow!
Clearly, this is an iCake autocorrecct error.
Oooh so glad the techs a my work told me what an ID 10 T error was this week! #TheMoreYouKnow :)
the bunny is adorable though.
Re: Ellen's song parodies:
Those are awesome, Ellen! But ... now I have to go to church tomorrow and play "Welcome Happy Morning" on the piano with a straight face while your brilliant parody is stuck in my head. *sigh* Wish me luck!!!
Hey, I just thought of something. Maybe Eappy is the cowboy version of the holiday? "Eappy-ky-yay!" y'all.
Oh, and a happy and blessed Easter to everyone.
You know, I picked up some Easter Cupcakes today that were mostly to satisfy my pregnancy craving for buttercream icing. Once home and gotten the lid off, I realized they were "artfully" arranged as a flower. Once I pulled out a cupcake though, I figured out HOW. They were in a cupcake-cake mold that told the bakery where to place the cupcakes. Isn't that cheating a bit?
That is how my two-year-old says it. Perhaps now we know who is working in the bakery?
Eappy = Combination of Easter & Passover? (although, I'd be willing to bet that cake is NOT kosher for passover)
Do I even want to know how such an egregious error occured D:
That wasn't piped on, but I don't know the technique--some sort of transfer. Had it been handwritten, I can see how
they could've been absentmindedly writing "happy" again after the "E" was donw??? But with this transfer technique or whatever it is, wouldn't it be caught for if not intentional?
At any rate, it's cute and funny, but not nearly as funny as all your commenters today.
i think whoever wrote the lettering for that cake intended to write "happy easter" but then got carried away and started writing "happy" again, resulting in "happy eappy."
@ Strider Girl:
I'm sorry.
I know -- I have always had to clear the Allen Sherman/Mad Magazine/Weird Al version of songs out of my mind as I sang, played or taught.

Ok, maybe the tradition theory is strengthened by the fact of it being printed, but what's the story on the border? Why are the upper top and bottom piped in a different color and (lack of) style than the upper sides and bottom?
Happy Easter!
LOL! Your WV explanation was too funny! Love it!
LOL! My kids made up "I.D.Ten-T". . .or at least they thought they did!
Hmmm, tis an ID: Ten-T error indeed. Sounds like the problem exists between keyboard and chair.
wv. aboneso - This wreck must have been done by Aboneso Strooge
They've got the spirit of the thing alright...so why not just make it a "Happy Eappy" after all because you know, we get it anyway.

Bummer about the spelling. The printing was so awesome.
Happy Eppy to all!!!! :)

Should your not rename your Blog "English as a second Rangwidge"?
Ellen - I did it! I couldn't wipe the grin off my face, but I did play without giggling and sing the right words. Whew! ;)
That said, please feel free to keep up the parodies. They're wonderful!
The machine they used to type up that message does not have a spell check... not that that really explains the typo.
Whew! Fortunate us!
Or should I say http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z21l5PtI03s" rel="nofollow"> fortunatus?
Hmmm...Eappy? I suspect it's a new holiday, along the lines of Festivus -- an Easter for the rest of us? As long as no plastic babies -- particularly ones encased in goo -- come out of the cake, I'm all for people making up their own holidays.
wv: oviaz -- It's oviaz that some peoplez lose their abilitiez to spell when writing on cakez. ;-)
Holy crap. I had an easter bunny toy that sounded like that. It went *patter patter patter* *boing boing* Happy Eappy! Happy Eappy!
This cakewrecker must have stolen that bunny from me.

Yeah, I don't blog much anymore. Every once in a while someone will tell me that they miss it, but the world still seems to be spinning. I've just been too stinkin busy with the two jobs and writing and being a dad/husband and whatnot. That doesn't mean that I don't still think about weird stuff, because I do. It also doesn't mean that I have been lazy in my writing, because I haven't. Even with my hectic schedule I still have a shot at putting out two books this year and this darned music keeps bounding around in my head. Last of all it really doesn't mean that I haven't been having weird dreams, because I have. I actually just had this old recurring dream that I used to have a lot when I was younger where I would be playing basketball and be able to dunk with almost no effort. This time, though, instead of showing off for the crowd and dunking on people, it was just me and my kids on an outdoor court at our house, which somehow had a huge yard with a sport court and a swimming pool. The problem I had in this dream was that the kids didn't care how awesome I was dunking because they were going down the big slide into our super sweet pool with Benny the Bull, who I seemed to think would appreciate my smooth dunking efforts, but he didn't care. Who am I fooling, Benny the Bull got to watch MJ in the flesh. So, anyway, that was the first time I ever had the sweet dunking dream and it didn't turn out awesome. I mean, I guess Benny the Bull coming to my house and the sweet pool and sport court are pretty awesome, all things considered, but I sure didn't get to dunk on anyone or hear the roaring adulation of a huge crowd. Oh well.
So, that's it for the blog today.
Just kidding.
Is it annoying when I skip lines like this?
I bet it is if you're reading on your phone.
Or a tablet.
Probably isn't a big deal if you're on a pc.
Or are casting your screen onto a 70 inch led.
Maybe squarespace actually just formats it out too.
I don't really know.
I'll stop.
You may be asking yourself: Why, after six months, has Tim finally decided to do a blog again when he has written about absolutely nothing except a weird dream and just wasted a bunch of space skipping lines? or What does that weird title mean? I get the Benny the Bull part, but I haven't heard any announcements.
Well, here it comes.
I quit my job as a special education aide at Washington Central Intermediate School. It was one of the most fulfilling jobs I've ever had and I loved almost every minute of it. Almost. There were some minutes I wouldn't mind replacing with other, better minutes, but overall it was great. The staff I worked with, both in the life skills department and throughout the entire school, is top notch and I couldn't have asked for better colleagues. I left this job almost every day with a smile on my face and a boatload of funny stories that I wish I could share with all of you, but alas, we haven't the space. I especially would like to thank the teachers within the life skills department for taking me into their classroom, helping me grow as a teacher, and showing me what it is like to be truly dedicated to your work. You ladies are great.
As far as the students go, I really, honestly enjoyed working with them more than I thought possible when I started the job. Every day was different. Every time my face got licked it was different. Every time I answered the same question for the two thousandth time it was somehow different. Every time I would hear my name screamed down the hallway and that one student would come and try to jump into my arms for a hug, was also somehow different. I'll miss working with them. So, you may be asking yourself. Why quit if you love it so much? Well, on field day I ordered a size 2x shirt, and when I got it, it was a ladies 2x and I felt humiliated...
OK, that's not true. I mean, I did get a ladies 2x shirt on accident, but it wasn't anyone's fault and I certainly wasn't humiliated. I mean, I don't know what it would actually take to humiliate me, but its more than that. I contemplated wearing the ladies 2x, but I'm not sure everyone involved could handle all that. So, I guess I still haven't answered the question, why quit?
I did use the plural, announcements, so here comes another. I also have informed the management staff at Chilis about my impending final days. This is another place I've loved working at over the years, and I still have a little time left, but the days are slowly coming to a close. Its hard to believe that when I started there I was 24 years old, not married, no kids, Axl was a pup... I mean I had just barely met my wife. Speaking of my wife, we just had our tenth wedding anniversary. Man, I'm getting old. Anyway, my time at Chilis has also been great. I've met a ton of people, whether its guests, staff, or management, that I'll remember for the rest of my life. Without that place I never would have met some people that I'll always remember and call friends until the day I die. This is where I met the real Bobby Poppen. He was one of the few people who didn't look at me all strange when I first mentioned I was writing a novel, and I believe was one of the first three to read both Ma'iitso and The Sentinel. Its where a met Eric Jorgensen, who also got his name in the first book. Al and Vikki Schoedel, Bill and Helen Barrick, Kenny Sutter, Mary Beth Cunningham, Wade and Dawn Richrath, GORDY, Jason Nordvall, Jason Trevino, Teresa Johnston, Amy Smith, Terri Kisler, Shorty, Lauren Dylla, Holly Richrath, Frona, Wyatt Robinson, Alex Berry, Big Buddy, Little Buddy, Stone Cold, Kim and Larry Hicks....... The list could literally go on and on and on. I apologize for leaving people off, but I could sit here for hours and keep adding names. If I left you out put your name in the comments and I'll add you! I've had a great run at Chilis and I'll miss the work. I enjoy bartending. I like the people. I like the atmosphere. Its fun. I'll especially miss the conversation. Man. All those conversations...
So, you may be still asking yourself once again: Why would he quit two jobs, both of which he loves, and why didn't he answer the first time? Maybe he's making a ton of money on bookwriting!
I'm excited to announce that I applied, was offered, and subsequently accepted a position, starting in August, at Washington Central District 51 as the 8th grade social studies teacher. As an aide in the school I worked with a lot of the teachers and staff in both the 8th grade and social studies departments and am honored to accept a position working with them. I've already begun molding my map of the curriculum and getting resources together to write and teach lessons. Its something I haven't done in a while, but shaking the rust off seems to be happening pretty quickly. I know that I have a lot of work left ahead of me and I know that every day isn't going to be smooth, but I feel like I'll be up to the challenge. Its going to be a fun year!
So, there you have it. I quit two jobs that I love to work another job that I assume is going to be great as well and also allows me to maybe work a little with my previous students and staff that I loved working with all while making a little more money so that maybe I can still go eat at Chilis every once in a while for a little bit of that conversation. Whew. Run- on city. Not a sentence. That either. I'm cool with it. I'm still planning on writing books, especially this summer, and if I get a few minutes one of these days I definitely have an album or two worth of material in my musical brain. Wait. Wait.
To celebrate all of these announcements (and maybe clear out a little inventory and maybe put some money in the timwheatbooks account) I've decided to have a sale. Go to the shop section of the site and buy a hardback, or paperback, directly from me, via paypal for $22 and $12, respectively. I still have a few of the first editions of Ma'iitso Rises left over as well as a few Ma'iitso paperbacks. As far as Rex Chase and The Sentinel go you can't get them any cheaper anywhere else and they don't come signed from anywhere else. I have shipping to the lower 48 and taxes mixed right into those numbers. If you don't care for physical copies and you don't care to have my Herbie Hancock then you can still head on over to Amazon or Smashwords or Ibooks or Barnes and Noble or Kobo etc. and download. Rex Chase is only 99 cents!
So, to recap. I loved working special ed. I loved working Chilis. I quit them both. I'll be teaching 8th grade social studies in the fall. Please buy a book! I'm broke from quitting all my jobs!

In a large pot melt the butter over medium flame, add shallots and garlic and saute for 5 minutes. Add fennel or celery and continue to saute for 2 minutes. Add the mussels and raise the heat to high. When mussels begin to open, add the wine, salt, pepper and bring the mixture to a boil, cover and cook until all mussels open up. Discard any unopened ones. Stir in half of the garlic butter, the parsley and the chopped fennel fronds. Serve with remaining garlic butter on the side.
Place all in the food processor and blend for 20 seconds until well mixed, or blend in a bowl.
Cover and place in refrigerator until ready to use.

The Minnesota Orchestra continues its Common Chords outreach project with a weeklong residency in Detroit Lakes as the Orchestra and conductor Sarah Hicks travel to the western Minnesota city September 22-26 for a week of concerts and more than 25 events tailored to the Detroit Lakes community. Common Chords Home »
Photos and updates from the road
Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5
Click on a date to see the schedule of events for that day: Tue Sep 22 | Wed Sep 23 | Thu Sep 24 | Fri Sep 25 | Sat Sep 26
The residency, the result of an intensive planning process by a committee of Detroit Lakes community leaders and Orchestra staff, is part of Common Chords, a multi-year project that establishes partnerships between the Orchestra and Greater Minnesota cities, each culminating in its own unique residency week.
The residency concludes with an evening performance by the full Minnesota Orchestra with Sarah Hicks conducting a program that features Dvořák's New World Symphony and works by Berlioz, Bizet and Tchaikovsky, on Saturday, September 26, at 7:30 p.m., at the Historic Holmes Theatre. Tickets for the concert are priced at $10 for adults and free for students, and are available online or by calling 218-844-7469.
We'll be adding photos and updates from Detroit Lakes, right here in Showcase online, all week. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram for the latest photos from the road.
"At the highest level, Common Chords is a real exchange of people and ideas, a process that builds new and unexpected connections through music," said Minnesota Orchestra President and CEO Kevin Smith. "The program allows us to foster deeper relationships with a community than a one-night performance typically offers. In fact, a fundamental component of the program is to jointly plan each festival week with area residents to make sure the experience is tailored specifically to the community."
Amy Stoller Stearns, executive director of the Historic Holmes Theatre in Detroit Lakes, says, "We are thrilled that the Minnesota Orchestra will kick-off the 15-16 season at the Historic Holmes Theatre and are especially excited that their visit to our region includes numerous outreach activities at schools, businesses and other venues during their weeklong stay. These incredible musicians are world-renowned, and it's an honor to host them in our community and to give everyone in our region a chance to experience this remarkable orchestra."
Building on a Legacy
Common Chords builds on the Minnesota Orchestra's long legacy of performing across the state. The fledgling Orchestra embarked on its first state-wide journey in 1907, taking the train to Moorhead, Grand Forks and Duluth. Since then, the ensemble has played nearly 700 concerts in more than 60 Minnesota cities—from International Falls to Worthington—performing in school gyms, churches, community auditoriums, theaters and the great outdoors. Detroit Lakes is the fifth city to host a Common Chords residency; Grand Rapids, which hosted the first residency in October 2011, was followed by Willmar in May 2012, Hibbing in May 2014 and Bemidji in September 2014.

It's not clear what caused the major Verizon outage in Florida on Tuesday, but customers from around the state reported that voice calling was not working.
According to network outage aggregator DownDetector.com, which uses crowd-sourced network quality reports, complaints about voice service came from all around the Sunshine State.
Android Police reports that Verizon acknowledged the issue, but didn't go into detail about the cause in a brief statement issued yesterday. That statement reads: "We are aware of the issue affecting some connections in Florida. Our network teams are working to resolve the issue."
Jacksonville, Florida-based News4Jax tallied confirmed outages in Jacksonville, Oviedo, Zephyrhills, Fort Lauderdale, Winter Springs, Pompano Beach, Tampa, Panama City, Fort Myers, Largo, St. Petersburg, Lake Wales, West Palm Beach, Cape Coral, Sebastian and more.
If the first world also has issues regarding the stability of the voice spectrum, then one can only imagine the problems faced by other so called third world countries. How long do we need to wait to lie in mercy of those who own the spectrum?

Composer and producer; Pianist and keyboardist.
In his music world, the acoustic sounds of piano, percussion and the orchestral arrangements are colored, mixed and alternate with the electronic universe of the computer music, synth and the effects, in a sound trip to the expressivity and the empathy, the research and the evocation.
He's also author of poems and stories.
"The piano is a living instrument, extremely sensitive to the touch, sincere, which with you can bring out in a deep and its natural expressiveness ... At the same time I love the endless combinations that electronics offers, i proposed to use them as if they were transparent and colored veils that do not cover the nakedness, but highlight its peculiarities."
(Fabio Santilli)

Hooray for Ice Cream!
By: Katyyh, Alana, Jalen & Leah
The ice cream man comes to camp every year making the campers excited for ice cream! With the rain cancelling our ice cream day on Tuesday, we were even more excited when he finally came. The four
main choices that kids picked were bubblegum, ice cream sandwich, chocolate éclair, and a variety of ice flavors. When we asked the ice cream man what was his most popular flavors he said it was the root beer and ice cream sandwich. He has been coming to camp for years and plans to keep coming. The ice cream man said that he comes to see the kids smile as they leave his truck eating their ice cream. As you can see from the pictures, kids are very happy with the ice cream man coming. Some even said ice cream is their favorite part of camp. Even the counselors said so! We always look forward to the ice cream man coming every time and are on our best behavior to ensure we get ice cream!

Suppose you had to sum up 1,000 years of popular music in a couple of hours worth of songs. Which would you choose?
That's the task Richard Thompson set himself when Playboy magazine asked various musicians to pick their top ten songs of the millennium in 1999. While most of those asked didn't go back much further than their own lifetimes, Thompson decided he'd call Playboy's bluff and do a real thousand-year selection. It wasn't printed.
Thompson is currently touring the UK with his latest choice of songs, which range from medieval madrigals and 'colloquial Renaissance Italian dance music' (you can really dance to it, as it happens), via Richard the Lionheart, Henry Purcell and W D Yeats, to Gilbert and Sullivan and music hall – and all that before he even starts on the last hundred years.
In London last night, he had Stick (brother of Brownie) McGhee's 'Drinkin' Wine Spo-Dee-Oh-Dee' stand for the rock 'n' roll canon. The Kinks' 'See My Friends' (reputedly the first piece of Indian-influenced western pop music after Ray Davies was inspired by fishermen chanting outside his hotel window on a trip to the east) represented the 1960s; Abba's 'Money, Money, Money' the 1970s; the Korgis' 'Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime' the 1980s; and – here it gets a bit weird – Nelly Furtado's 'Maneater', complete with medieval church Latin interlude, brought us up to the present.
Encoring with a medley that climaxed with 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand' put the Beatles – justifiably, I think – at the top of Thompson's charts. But if I had to pick one song that will still be featuring in selections in another 1,000 years, Cole Porter's 1932 classic, 'Night and Day', which he once said had been inspired by a Moroccan call to prayer, and has been covered by everyone from Frank Sinatra to U2, would be a choice I could happily live with.

Now we're sure there are some readers out there that have fond memories of the BBC's Andy Crane in his days in the BBC's broom cupboard with his sidekick hand puppet Edd the Duck. But after last Monday's lunchtime show, we really wished he was still presenting the junction slots on Children's BBC.
A large part of his show was dedicated to discussing that morning's protest by Longdendale Siege, and Brian Butler from Siege was awarded a slot to call for the bypass. Along the way, we also had a contribution from someone called Pat who lives in Broadbottom, who pointed out that Siege have nothing to say about the Hattersley Tesco and pointed out the lack of local consultation about the plans for the store. Whilst Pat intimated she supported the Bypass, it's clear that her main concern, like everyone who lives in and around the area, is traffic - and she doesn't see how the construction of the Tesco is going to help.
Andy Crane himself revealed his clear bias on this issue by wittering on and on about how bad the traffic was, although it was interesting how he couldn't get the BBC traffic expert to agree that it was one of the worst places in Greater Manchester for traffic hold ups. We're informed that Crane lives in Charlesworth.
Unlike with other audio presentations on this blog, we just cannot be bothered transcribing the key bits - an mp3 of the 'highlights' appears below.

Right now, as is the case every year, we are gearing up for a busy wedding season. Part of this is spending quiet moments in the kitchen, trying out new things either because some technique or ingredient has piqued my interest, or because a wedding couple has requested something particular that I want to get just right. And it's an easy thing sometimes to get into that room and get all caught up in technique or tradition or some multi-staged process and forget that, in many cases, food is at it's very best when we keep things simple and beautiful. And when we reach carefully for the place that brings food to its most pure and essential: to being the best that it can be.
The dish illustrated here is such a good example. I prepared it for a small wedding about a year ago. And this is a dish so simple, it just about makes itself. In this case, the pasta is handmade, of course. But you could do this yourself at home with store bought pasta without much loss of flavor.
The technique here needs no explanation, really. A shallot, some garlic, some butter, some wine. Black pepper. Chopped parsley. Live mussels and a large pot with a lid. Perhaps five minutes until everyone is open.
The mussels are steamed, then removed so the sauce can be reduced. Some of that is tossed through perfectly cooked pasta. Which is then plated. More sauce. Carefully placed mussels. In this case it was the second course of a plated winter wedding dinner. At home, though, even after a busy day at work, add a baguette and maybe a salad and you've made a beautiful, nutritious and even elegant dinner for yourself or your family. And with almost no work at all!

Essential Oils
By: Liz
I have recently joined the essential oil craze. Last year, when I was switching to the oil cleansing method, I stumbled upon Young Living Essential Oils and started researching what these oils were all about. I read many reviews of people claiming that these oils were a cure all for many different skin issues such as acne, psoriasis, eczema, etc., so of course I wanted to give them a try! I could not dish out all the cash that Young Living's starter kit cost, so I decided to go to the local health food store and purchase a few oils from a less expensive line. I bought lavender and tee tree oil to start out with and enjoyed the smell, but was not seeing great results. I assume this was because they were not 100% pure, therapeutic-grade oils. Finally, last November, I had saved enough money to purchase Young Living's premium starter kit. This kit included about 10 different oils, a diffuser, and some samples of their other products. I was hooked within the first week.
Not only did they smell great when I diffused them, my skin was looking and feeling better. The frankincense and lavender essential oils were my two favorites for skincare purposes. The lavender was very calming and moisturizing for inflamed pimples or dry patches, and the frankincense targeted some of my scarring. The money I spent on the starter kit was well worth it, but I am finding that I use them more frequently than I thought I would and they do run out quickly. Young Living's frankincense is especially expensive, so I found an oil, Elemi, also referred to as "poor man's frankincense," which has many nourishing and healing properties. I am learning to use all of the oils more sparingly. In addition to making my skin feel amazing, I have also found that essential oils have amazing healing effects on the common cold, allergies, indigestion, heartburn, migraines and much more.
Oils are definitely a multi-purpose products and my husband is even starting to enjoy using them! As many products, there are many other brands of 100% pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils that people rave about. I chose Young Living Essential Oils because they have a great reputation and I have family members who use them. I highly recommend this brand! However, I definitely encourage you to research different brands and choose for yourself. I have many friends who love the Doterra Essential Oils, so feel free to check them out as well!

Apple of His Eye...
by Metta Mo
We are the apple of His eye.
The core of your true self is never really lost, it doesnt really matter the circumstances or the storms that you have been through. At the core of who you are is everything you need to grow and thrive it has been planted from the beginning. Your true self is who the Lord intended for you to be, who He created for you to be. Jeremiah 1:5 states, Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. God has always had a plan for each of us. The trials we face, the suffering, self inflicted or not causes pain that changes how we live life daily, but it does not change who we really are. Abuse, trauma, grief all those things can cause us to take on characteristics that we form just as a method of survival. But if we are able to heal and accept the process then all the walls, defenses and layers we have built up to guard ourselves, can be peeled away, and we can find our true self at the core. From there we can stop pretending to be what we have become through the pain, and just be who our heavenaly Father planned for us to be all along. From early on the seed was planted, from day one you were meant for more. The one thing that will make a difference is when God is at the core. Because when we didn't, God did, when we wouldn't, God would, and when we couldn't God could. Now it is our turn, If we will, He will...if we will turn to Him, trust in His word and have faith that His promises for us will be fulfilled, then He will Save us, love us, help us, deliver us, and free us. That is the kind of love our heavenly father has for us, and as the children of God, we are the apple of his eye.

Our family has traveled all around the USA…and I do mean all over! We lived in an RV for over 9 months in 2011, driving coast to coast. We swam in lakes, dined in revolving buildings, hiked through gorgeous mountains, explored at science centers, and roasted marshmallows around open fires.
Even after all that, I maintain that Disney is one of our top vacation picks for families.
When I think of the Disney brand, I think of Walt Disney and his relentless pursuit of innovation. I think about excellence, happiness, and the magic of following "impossible" dreams.
Though this list isn't as serious as my Life List, I do have a few Disney-related things that I'd love to do in the next 30 years.
1. Hire a photographer to follow our family around a Disney park to capture great memories.
2. Spend a day "solo" in the parks with my camera, taking photos of whatever sparks my interest.
3. Run in a Disney Half Marathon.
4. Enjoy a Dole Whip.
5. Go on an "Adventures by Disney" tour abroad.
6. Experience "Enchanted Tales with Belle."
7. Ride Radiator Springs Racers.
8. Sail on a Disney cruise ship with my family.
9. Stay in the Adventureland Suite at Disneyland Hotel.
10. Be hired by Disney to do Communications, PR, Writing, or Imagineering work.
Dream with me! What is on your Disney Bucket List?

Edwards offers bill to broaden campaign finance lawBy John McDaid | Tuesday, 26 January 2016
House Majority Whip Jay Edwards (D-70, Tiverton, Portsmouth) has introduced legislation that would increase the accountability of the campaign finance law by clarifying language. The bill will be taken up by the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.
"The legislation would extend the power of campaign finance legislation by clarifying which people and groups are obliged to submit campaign finance reports," said Representative Edwards. "It also extends those provisions to those who campaign for or against financial and charter change referendums."
The bill (2016-H 7147) would clarify the definition of the term "entity" for purposes of campaign finance as it pertains to advocating for the approval or rejection of any question presented to voters at a financial town meeting, financial town referendum, or local election involving charter amendments. The act would include business entities, political action committees, persons and exempt nonprofits in the definition of an "entity."
"We made some good advancement two years ago in campaign finance reform," said Whip Edwards. "But we need to revisit this topic every year to review the laws and make whatever adjustments are necessary to hold all parties accountable. I think this bill is an important one to keep the campaigning of local issues fair for everyone involved."
The bill, which is cosponsored by Representatives Dennis Canario (D-71, Portsmouth, Tiverton, Little Compton), Mary Duffy Messier (D-62, Pawtucket), Joy Hearn (D-66, Barrington, East Providence) and Minority Leader Brian C. Newberry (R-48, North Smithfield, Burrillville), will be heard by the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, Jan. 27, at the rise of the House (about 4:30 p.m.) in Room 205 on the second floor of the State House.

New York -- International film star Jean Reno was international long before he ever became a film star.
The son of Spanish parents chased out of their homeland by a fascist dictator came into the world shortly after World War II in Casablanca, Morocco, the celebrated international crossroads immortalized on screen by Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman.
Young Juan Moreno roamed the exotic urban oasis in North Africa, speaking in multiple tongues, learning a different language at home, at school and at the movies, where everything he saw was a foreign film.
"In those days the cinema for me was John Wayne, Jean Gabin, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Alain Delon, William Holden, James Dean, Marlon Brando," Reno says, lounging in a Manhattan hotel suite, sipping mineral water.
As relaxed as the journey from late summer to fall, the veteran actor currently watching Robert De Niro's back in "Ronin" casually describes his family's 1960 move to France, which became his adopted country.
He looks the part of the classic grizzled Frenchman: oblong face, close-cropped salt-and-pepper beard and a pair of mournful, magnetic eyes.
He grew into manhood in France, was drafted into the Frdnch Army and was trained as a commando in Germany.
"Logical, eh? I was always traveling with a bag in my hand," Reno chuckles.
Travel remained the norm as an actor. Reno got his start in the 1970s with a traveling theater company that crisscrossed France. He has gone on to make movies all over Europe and in the United States, with recent blockbuster credits including "Mission: Impossible," "Godzilla" and now John Frankenheimer's action-thriller, "Ronin."
Dream come true? Not really.
"No, I had no big dreams in my mind," Reno says of his early aspirations, as he remembers a time when he sometimes performed for free, supporting himself with day jobs like truck driver, accountant and photo shop clerk.
"A play, a character, a place, a director -- a salary, if it's possible," Reno says, chuckling again. "The joy was just to have a stage and an audience."
Not that he's complaining about how things turned out. After winning praise in director Cnsta Gavras' 1978 film, "Claire de Femme," Reno teamed up with director Luc Besson in several films, among them "The Big Blue," "La Femme Nikita" and his hit, "The Professional."
He starred in France's No. 1 box office hit, the 1993 comedy "Les Visiteurs" and its recent sequel. At the top of his game, Reno is nevertheless the first to acknowledge that international stardom didn't come without supreme sacrifice.
"I divorced. I paid for my success. You have to pay always," Reno says, speaking softly. "So, it changed my life, but it's OK. I don't know nobody who doesn't pay."
Reno's French accent is undeniably thick, but doesn't impede clear communication. Still, his agile mind is sometimes victimized by a clumsy tongue.
Asked to define his greatest challenge performing in English, Reno says, "To be believable and understable."
He knows it didn't come out right.
"Understable?" he asks, laughing at himself. "Understandable. You see, I still have to work."
Without missing a beat, Reno proceeds to get laughs doing his movie star impersonations: John Wayne ("Howdy, pilgrim"), Elvis Presley ("Thank you very much") and De Niro ("You talking to me?"). He tells about cracking up his "Ronin" co-star with De Niro's famous line from "Taxi Driver."
"He made that little smile he has, you know, and tried to stop," Reno says.
Trying to describe his feelings about working with De Niro, Reno is stymied by more than the language barrier. "Robert," he says (pronouncing it Row-bear). Then he pauses, momentarily lost for words.
"Metaphor," he finally says. "In an orchestra, the first violin. A lot of colors inside the music he's playing. That's Robert De Niro. A little bit of green, do-do-hmmm. A little bit of dark, bo-bo-hmmm. You see. Easy. That's him."
He is reminded that fans and critics alike have ascribed a similar virtuosity and ease to his work, and he laughs off any such a comparison as joking or incredible flattery.
"I do what I need to do, all that I can do, to furnish the work. That is all," he says. "I have been lucky, but there is never a guarantee. I'm older now and it's always difficult."
More confident than he sounds and with success firmly in hand, Reno admits hitting 50 this year profoundly affected his psyche.
"It's a problem. How much time do we have? Fifty. How much time do we have?" Reno asks, concerned about his four children, two from his first marriage, ages 21 and 18, and two, ages 21/2 and 3 months, with his current love.
"More attention to kids, more attention to the woman you live with. More attention to the difficulties of people you love, their pain. Because it's almost done. How much time do we have?
"It's almost done. So you're not in a hurry to prove to yourself that, in fact, you can exist, that people love you, that you can be somebody."

text: 15 Jan This is Why I Shoot RAGE Yes I shoot Rage broadheads, NO I do not plan on switching any time soon. Why? THEY WORK. The photo in the cover is from a doe I shot last season. In the last 2 seasons I have shot 3 deer with my Rage Hypodermics and they haven't gone more than 40 yards after being shot. I have used other broadheads in the past, but once I tried Rage I was convinced. There are many, MANY options out there on the market but they have been the most reliable for me. The shock collars work for the most part,
