Ah, New Jersey. That place next to New York. A state where you can't pump your own gas, but where you could spend a death-defying day of family fun at Action Park. The great state of New Jersey is very weird. There's even a magazine about how weird it is. And its most enduring legend is that of the Jersey Devil.
According to one popular origin story, the Jersey Devil was the thirteenth child of Mother Leeds. Leeds declared that her child would be the Devil, for…some reason. The newborn Leeds child grew hooves, bat wings and other devilish accouterments. And, much like a Russian gangster, the now-transformed devil-baby fled into the Pine Barrens, never to be seen again.
Until now.
An anonymous New Jerseyan, hailing from Galloway, claims to have seen the Jersey Devil. And they managed to snap a picture before it disappeared:
This incontrovertible photographic evidence proves the existence of New Jersey's most famous flying goat demon monster. And elsewhere we find convincing video evidence.
As anyone with even the slightest knowledge about flying goats can tell you, they keep their bodies absolutely still while they fly. Some say this video looks "obviously fake", and "cheaper than a Tom Baker-era Doctor Who monster". These people are ignorant clods who wouldn't know a Jersey Devil from a Connecticut Goatman. You are all disgraces to the rigorous and not at all credulous-bullshit-filled field of cryptozoology.
Cryptozoology tells us the truth we've long suspected, but have always been too afraid to say: Hell is real, and it's in New Jersey.

Sleeping in seems to be getting habitual in these parts of the world.
Overnight we had a power cut and my camera didn't charge - let's hope I have enough juice for tomorrow.
At breakfast we found out that it will be next to impossible to find any accommodation in Phyu and we will need to continue further onto Taungoo. The problem was that it was about 134km to Taungoo and there was no way we could do it in these conditions. Our only options were to use the train (which we missed because we slept in), a bus which wouldn't be arriving till 2pm (getting us there past night fall) or to hire a taxi truck. We decided to hire a taxi truck to get us to Phyu and we would cycle the remainder.
While checking out of the hotel, we noticed that the women behind the counter were applying Thanakha. They grind the bark of the Thanakha tree into a fine powder on a stone and then mix it with water. It doubles as a sunscreen and make up for women. We found out later that some men apply it before going to bed and it acts as a repairing agent for sun damaged skin.
Billy and Dave got their fix, when the kind clerk offered to show them how to apply it.
The taxi truck cost $55 - next destination: Phyu (Pyu). We departed at 8:30, had one stop for lunch and arrived in Phyu by 2pm.
It was a fantastic experience - until now these noisy trucks screamed past us loaded with people on the sides, roof and tray; now it was our turn.
As we held on for dear life the truck rattled over the bumpy roads and whizzed past local villages and towns. We witnessed life in Burma the local way. With our knees bent to absorb the shock of the uneven road surface. Every now and then Mucky would yelp like a little girl when the car bounced more than usual. Billy was in the cab with the driver, no doubt wanted front row seats with a cushion under his backside.
On the sides of the road we passed houses made of teak and constructed atop stilts, buffalo cooling off in the ponds lining the roads and rice fields in various stages of maturity stretching towards the horizon on the right and mountains to the left.
What was hard to take in were the young boys and girls who were used to sort, grade and fit gravel stones into potholes by hand.
An armed guard would always stay close by supervising the group - extremely harsh conditions, in the middle of the day and seated on the heat absorbing black road. Their hands and faces black from the still hot tar-covered gravel.
We didn't believe that we'd arrived almost an hour earlier than expected. Someone on the side of the road mentioned that it may be around 35miles to Taungoo - so it looks like another good ride.
We were worried about Mucks and how he would cope with the hot conditions. We stuck to 19km/hr but even this was hard at places. Forming a peloton was exhausting and almost impossible because we scattered in all directions when the road became unpredictable. We took frequent stops, to rehydrate and rest.
As the evening cooled we were able to make good time and arrived in Taungoo just after sunset. Sunsets here seem to take forever, so even though it was 30 mins past sunset (5:30 sunset) we were able to find the Myanmar Beauty Hotel.
The hotel is run by a doctor and his wife who took great care of us. The hotel is actually divided into four parts with the first section being built in 1995 and last in 2004. The whole structure is built in beautiful Teak and polished to perfection.
The good doctor divulged some current travel information about new roads and his recommendations of where to visit. He was quite enthusiastic that we visit the coast if we had time because not many tourists get a chance to explore those areas.
Dinner again, was fantastic - with desert being a smorgasbord of local fruits followed by some more local recon.

A BRAVE mum has penned a heartbreaking letter explaining why she is grateful for her baby daughters bruises and scabbed skin.
Danielle Hall's daughter, Rayleigh Kate, is just three months old but has spent her entire life in hospital after she was born with a number of serious heart conditions.
The adorable girl has a long scar down her chest thanks to heart surgery and scabs on her skin from the countless number of needles she has had put in her veins.
Born on May 23, little Rayleigh had her first heart surgery on June 1.
Rayleigh right and left ventricles are switched, known as L-transportation, is missing a pulmonary artery and has ventricular septal defect – a hole in the heart – and dextrocardia, which is where the heart points towards the right side of the chest instead of the left.
But despite all this 25-year-old Danielle, from Aberdeen in North Carolina, US, is thankful because the wounds are "blessings" that represent "healing".
She wrote in her touching message: "I hope you never have to look down at fading bruises and scabbed skin on someone that you love dearly.
"I hope the small hands you hold have never seen the pricks of needle after needle.
"I hope you never get the chance to trace the outline of your daughter's scar, running deep and powerful down her chest.
"But, if you do experience these things in your life, this is what I hope even more.
"I hope you realise what a gift you have in front of you.
"That while your stomach twists at the bruises and scabs, the scars and the wires…they represent healing.
PIONEERING OP Baby undergoes life-saving heart operation INSIDE the womb when he was just 23 weeks – and his heart was the size of a PEANUT
"They represent life. Her life. I hope if you trace those scars you remember they mean your child survived.
"And while these scars feel like the biggest stones God could have ever hurled at you, they're actually blessings."
Danielle went on to express her amazement at her tiny daughter's fight.
She said: "But even more than that, no one… NO ONE… can walk in your daughter's shoes like she does. And you get to watch her do it.
"So if you ever find yourself gazing down at the bruised flesh of your tiny child who is fighting for her life, if your eyes ever travel the length of a scar that buckles her flesh, consider this: What I considered to be the biggest stones in my life turned out to be my greatest blessings."
In June Rayleigh had BT shunt placed to allow better blood flow through her right ventricle and pulmonary arteries to her lungs.
Danielle told The Sun Online: "With her array of heart defects, they aren't exactly sure what they are going to do next.
"They're going to watch her grow and try to figure out from there what heart surgeries they will decide on.
" I love how strong my daughter has been through all of this, we have asked so much of her, and she's gone above and beyond.
"She's my hero."
You can donate to Rayleigh's cause on her Go Fund Me page here.
Danielle also asked that people consider donating to charities like the Children's Heart Federation to help find a cure.
She said: "We will always have bills, that's a fact.
"Finding a cure would be immeasurable."

A plethora of employee payroll services existed long before someone came up with the idea of the payroll card. So when the payroll card first came onto the scene, it was considered a novelty that may not have the legs to survive in the era of direct deposit. For a while, that looked to be the case. Yet the outlook for payroll cards now is a lot more positive. They are slowly maturing to become a legitimate and viable option for getting paid.
BenefitMall offers payroll cards along with processing that includes paper checks and direct deposit. We would be happy to discuss all three options and how they fit into your current payroll strategy. And as always, we would be more than happy to review all our services with you in hopes that we can make payroll and benefits administration more efficient for your company.
Payroll Cards and Legal Issues
Getting back to payroll cards, there were some legal issues that the financial services industry has had to work out in a handful of states. Chief among them were the fees associated with using payroll cards. These fees were an issue because many states require employers to guarantee that their employees receive every penny earned regardless of the payment method chosen.
In their earliest days, payroll cards presented a problem in this regard. Some employees complained that the fees associated with payroll cards meant that they were not getting the full value of their pay. The courts agreed in quite a few cases. That led to states enacting laws that said employers could not force employees to receive their pay by way of payroll cards if fees were attached to those cards.
The payroll card industry is gradually adjusting their fees to bring them more in line with state expectations and standard business practices. Fees and charges are becoming less of an issue as time goes on.
Employee Access to Funds
The maturity of payroll cards is also being observed in terms of employee access to funds. An obvious advantage of the payroll card is that employees have access to their pay on the same date payroll is processed, or within 24 hours. That was not always the case in the early days of payroll cards. Technical glitches sometimes delayed the access to funds by more than a day or two. Now that those glitches are mostly ironed out, it is rare for employees to run into problems when accessing their pay.
Electronic Payments Integration
An exciting new area of payroll card development is the integration of this technology with electronic payment systems. For example, one payroll card provider has just rolled out a brand-new program through which employees can use the system to cash paper checks and have that money automatically added to an existing payroll card.
This is a great program for employees who work one or two side hustles to make ends meet. Where their primary employers may pay with a payroll card, the other companies they contract with might pay using paper checks. A worker can cash those paper checks through the payroll card account and then have instant access to the funds.
The payroll card is not a good solution for every employer and every employee. Still, it is an option that is now available through more and more payroll processing companies like BenefitMall. As it matures, we expect to see a more widespread adoption of the payroll card among America's workers. The cards represent a convenient, secure, and efficient way to get paid – and pay the bills too.

From the beginning
Where we are now
Thank you for visiting Digital Fancies. I've had a passion for creating a variety projects using technology for over 30 years. My other life was in public and higher education. As a teacher, I incorporated technology into my classroom at every chance. In doing so, my high school students and I were recognized locally and nationally.
As a college administrator, my department was responsible for training professors and students in the use of technology in traditional and online classrooms. It was exciting. My college was recognized as a leader in e-Learning in the state of Texas. In addition, it was nationally ranked as in the top 10 "Digitally Savvy Colleges" in the nation for many years before I retired. It remains so recognized.
Now, I'm enjoying retirement; however, I remain involved in technology and projects that benefit families and businesses. Protecting and sharing family photos and even the stories that go with them is a priceless gift to family members. Contributing to the local economy is a another benefit.
Check out out links to see the array of services we offer, and we're still adding to our list. For example, our latest services include digitizing slides, negatives, and Super 8 and 8mm movie reels. Another recent service is using your photos to create smashing collage canvas prints ready to hang in your home. We also scan photo albums, scrapbooks, and books.

First, the numbers from the recent Virginia gubernatorial election, courtesy of the leftist Washington Post.
There were poll numbers floating around in the days leading up to the election that suggested McAuliffe would absolutely swamp Cuccinelli among female voters and, in so doing, win a convincing victory. But, according to exit polls, Cuccinelli only lost female voters by nine points — identical to the losing margin for Mitt Romney among women in Virginia in the 2012 presidential election. (Romney lost women nationally by 11 points to President Obama in 2012.)
Where Cuccinelli did get swamped, however, was among non-married women where he lost by a massive 42-point(!) margin, according to preliminary exit polling. While Romney didn't fare that poorly in 2012, his 29-point loss among non-married women in Virginia was more than double his losing margin among women more broadly in the Commonwealth.
Here's the two-pronged problem for Republicans: 1) They aren't winning married women by nearly enough to make up for their huge deficits among unmarried women and 2) There aren't that many more married women than single women in the electorate to make up the margins.
So, the fact that married women accounted for 35 percent of the overall electorate and Cuccinelli won them by nine points was more than offset by the fact that single women comprised 18 percent of the electorate and he lost them by six touchdowns.
(Worth noting: The married/unmarried divide isn't just among women. Cuccinelli won married men by six points but lost single men by 25.)
When you vote for a Democrat, you are voting for legalized abortion through all 9 months of pregnancy, gay marriage, banning guns, higher taxes and massive government spending. So how does the Democrat Party convince women to vote for those policies? Well, you can see how by looking at these official pro-Obamacare ads that are marketed to unmarried women. (H/T Amy)
Who did this?
Got Insurance is a project of the Thanks Obamacare campaign, created by the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative and ProgressNow Colorado Education to educate everyone about the benefits of the Affordable Care Act.
See, that man is good-looking, but he has no intention of marrying that woman. He has no STEM degree, no self-control, no earned income, and desire to raise children. But she wants to have sex with him because OMG he's hawt!!!1!, and thankfully her Obama is right there with the birth control pills and condoms to make this "work". She is so excited to have Obamacare-sex with the hot guy! And who knows, maybe he will call her the next day and ask her what her name was.
Now you might think that appealing to unmarried women like this would not work, but actually it does work. It works because this is how unmarried women see themselves. They want to binge drink. They want to prefer men based purely on appearance and fun. They don't want men who can protect, provide and lead morally and spiritually. They don't want men who are "sexist" (chivalrous) and judgmental (honorable). They want to be free to act on their feelings spontaneously and then kill unborn children who get in the way of that. And they want high-earning married men to pay for the condoms through taxes. And if things don't "work out" with the "hot guy" then they can just blame him for being a cad, and blame the alcohol they drank for making them choose that cad. It wasn't their fault, so thank socialism that taxpayers are going to pay for it.
The Democrat Party offers unmarried women free condoms and subsidized abortions, so they can more easily engage in recreational sex, and unmarried women respond to that by electing Democrats. According to exit polls, unmarried women like Sandra Fluke voted more than 70% for Obama in 2008 and 2012. This is not my opinion, this is fact. Feminists vote Democrat, and this is feminism in action. Drink like a man. Have sex like a man. Force pro-life doctors to kill the babies. Make pro-life taxpayers pay for the abortion. That's what unmarried women are voting for – in droves.
Application for Christians
And that's what is facing marriage-minded men today when they look at unmarried women. That's an attractive woman in that photo up there. Christian leaders and pastors look at a woman like that with a college degree and a job, and they say to Christian men "you need to man up and marry that fine Christian woman!". There is almost no expectation among Christian leaders that Christian women be informed about politics, economics, apologetics, and so on. If they look good, then they must be good. And they must vote good. Except they are not and they do not.
The fact is that unmarried Christian women are often very much like unmarried non-Christian women. They believe the same. They vote the same. They watch the same TV and movies. They read the same books. They have plenty of sexual experience – if not from hook-ups, then from preferring non-Christian men to Christian men. We really need to be training unmarried Christian women to be far better at morality, politics, economics, apologetics and so on. Right now, from what I have see in the church, they are woefully inadequate for marriage. We need to look beyond the winsome appearance of Christian women, and make a right judgment about what's underneath skin level. Instead of being guided by our eyes, and accepting a bare confession of faith, we need to look deeper – for an informed Christian worldview and actions that are consistent with that worldview.
It's good for Christian men to treat unmarried women nicely, but unless they are qualified to be treated nicely, it does more harm than good. When an unmarried woman is engaging in behaviors that are destroying the lives of born and unborn children, and tearing the fabric of society with government debt, no-fault divorce and single motherhood, then the good man has to make a stand and say "What you are doing is evil." Unfortunately, many Christian leaders don't want to do that, so it's up to regular rank-and-file Christian men to do it.

New review from The Movie Snob
Evan Almighty (B). I didn't hear such great things about this movie, so I waited until it got to the dollar theater to see it. (Which, by the way, now costs $1.75.) I was pleasantly surprised, perhaps because my expectations were so low, or perhaps because Steve Carell (The Way Way Back) and Morgan Freeman (Batman Begins) lift the quality of any movie they appear in. It's not really a comedy, even though there are some funny parts, but it's more like a modern-day fairy tale. Carell plays Evan Baxter, a newly elected congressman who ran on the slogan "Change the World" and is naive enough to mean it. But his plans are derailed when God (Freeman) appears to him and directs him to build an ark. He resists, but God is not easily denied, especially since He can give you Old-Testament-prophet style hair and wardrobe any time He wants. The lovely Lauren Graham (Bad Santa) provides suffering and support as Baxter's wife. I enjoyed it.

MCX NEWS: Gold prices were Largely Steady on Tuesday
Gold prices were largely steady on Tuesday ahead of a U.S. Federal Reserve meeting that starts later in the day, with investors looking for clues on the central bank's outlook for next year. Asian share markets stumbled on Tuesday as heightened concerns about a slowing global economy sent Wall Street stocks skidding to their lowest levels in more than a year. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is widely expected to raise interest rates at its two-day meeting starting later in the day. However, the focus will be on the outlook for 2019, with many investors expecting signs of economic turbulence to prompt the Fed to signal a slowdown in the pace of tightening next year.
London copper fell to the day's lows of $6,079/mt on Monday before it recovered from those losses and closed at $6,133.5/mt. The SHFE 1902 contract rebounded from a low of 48,860 yuan/mt and ended at 49,130 yuan/mt overnight. With pressure at moving averages, both LME and SHFE copper are expected to remain rangebound at lows today. LME copper is likely to trade at $6,100-6,150/mt with the SHFE 1902 contract at 48,700-49,200 yuan/mt. Spot prices are seen at discounts of 60 yuan/mt to premiums of 20 yuan/mt. London nickel fell to close at $10,995/mt on Monday after it climbed past the $11,100/mt level.
Oil prices dropped over 1 percent on Tuesday, falling for a third straight session, as reports of inventory builds and forecasts of record shale output in the United States, currently the world's biggest producer, stoked worries about oversupply. Concerns around future oil demand amid weakening global economic growth and doubts over the impact of planned production cuts led by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) were also pressuring prices, traders said. Both U.S. crude and Brent have shed more than 30 percent from early October amid swelling global inventories, with WTI currently trading at levels not seen since October 2017.

What are Some Auto Insurance Problems in Getting Paid Post Accident?
California has a law requiring minimum liability insurance to drive here. But there are many loopholes and shortfalls that could leave you broke and disabled and with no insurance to pay for it. Remember that people with nothing to lose flock to Cali.
Sanctuary cities can harbor foreign rapists and felons. And many undocumented drivers are uninsured and on the highways. It could be they have little to lose. But the fact is, the government encourages scofflaws to drive our roads.
Because of this, we will discuss how to protect yourself. And this remains vital to guard against uninsured and under-insured drivers. For a little extra coin, you can get coverage for darting objects, to a hit and run.
PROOF of Minimum Liability Insurance Is The Law.
It's the law that you carry proof of insurance if you drive. You must have a bond or minimum 15/30/5 insurance coverage. Otherwise, you can't get a Driver's License for a non-commercial passenger vehicle.
On California's roads, every day, even licensed drivers have no insurance. Many people ask how that could be. After all, the law says they must have coverage. Don't criminals obey the law like everyone else?
There are Many Undocumented Aliens and Others With No Car Insurance.
An illegal alien is someone who entered the country without permission, who is not a citizen. It could also be someone overstaying a Visa who came legally. It used to be these people were deported and sent home.
Progressives like to say no one is "illegal" and that we are all people. The right says every other country has borders and laws and so should we. Taxpayers and vehicle drivers ultimately pay a terrible price for our broken immigration policies.
At some point, politicians gave illegal aliens Driver's Licenses. And the rationale was that it would assure proper insurance. After all, you cannot get insurance with no valid license to operate a vehicle.
Car Insurance is Expensive to Many Who Just Need a Car.
So, the story goes, that makes us all safer. Also, to register a car, you need insurance proof. So you can't finance a car or register one without proof of insurance. But car insurance is expensive. Many people are here illegally. If not, they live under the radar. Or these are folks who cannot afford auto insurance.
They could barely afford to buy a car. In any event, they just need to get around in a car. The bottom line is that legal criminals and illegal criminals are evading our insurance laws. Or down and out folks simply can't afford more than the minimum. The problem is made worse by allowing illegals into the country. But it will probably never completely go away.
The 3 Day Recision Period Allows People to Register a Car, Get Coverage and Cancel.
The truth is, law breakers buy auto insurance and cancel once they have insurance documents. You heard right; people will cancel their newly purchased policies. And they will do so within the three-day right of rescission period. You see, they now have PROOF of insurance.
And to get insurance, you need to show the insurance agent proof you have a driver's license. Then you go to the DMV and register your car or get a license.
The Purchase and Cancellation Game Is Common Place.
It is a consumer's right to cancel certain items within three days of purchase. And you don't need all three days to get a car registered. So it is a cat and mouse game. People buy the policy, get the official documents and cancel the policy. Simple as that.
How do I know this? Simple, I used to sell auto insurance. I remember the SR 22 drivers and illegals using bogus identities buying insurance. Now it's even easier for them. They can get a real driver's license. But again, they need to carry proof of insurance and registration.
Drifters Drift Away.
So in this case, the other driver shows proof and ID at the accident scene. That is the law. Now you will call the adjuster for his insurer. Guess what; they say the policy was canceled. You are out of luck. And you will probably never hear from the other driver again.
They will disappear. Mostly their info was false. The phone number was to someone else. And even the address was to some vacant lot. So you see, this is what injury attorneys deal with on a day to day basis.
And even if you could locate them to sue, why would you want to? Most of all, these are people gaming the system and living off the grid. So it makes sense they would not have assets to satisfy a judgment.
Illegal Drivers and the 3 Day Cancellation Period Loophole.
As discussed, people need to get cars registered to get plates and tags. If not, they will get pulled over. Once their vehicles get registered, they cancel the policy in the three-day period. But now they had a car with tags, and "proof of insurance." See how easy that was?
A licensed, uninsured person is now rolling down the I-10 freeway. There are in fact thousands of licensed commuters on the roads daily. Many have no vehicle insurance at all. But even if they do have it, minimum coverage means that many cars are technically under-insured.
Even With Coverage, an Underinsured Problem Arises.
- Example - Volkswagon With Basic Coverage Hits a Roll's Royce.
An example would be a Volkswagen Beatle T-boning a Rolls Royce at an intersection. $5,000 in property damage coverages is not enough to pay for the body damage and diminished value of the once Cherry Rolls. The Rolls probably purchased its own UM/UIM coverage for accidents as imagined above.
Hit and Run and Drivers with No Coverage Problem.
A huge problem with many uninsured drivers is that even if it's not their fault, they may be more likely to leave the scene of the accident. It is also more likely they have no health insurance. Probably no med-pay coverages exist either. Let alone are they able to pay for medical treatment or car repair.
This may leave you in compliance with a bad taste in your mouth. You are probably the few Republicans left in the State. You're the ones feeling and thinking that we who play by the rules are helpless.
Fortunately, this is not always true. With the right assistance, you can get justice. So the first thing you responsible folks must do is get more coverage than you need.
Below I will show you how for a few more bucks a month, you can cover yourself. Now you have less to worry about when in a UM/UIM situation.
What Insurance Should You Should Buy?
at a minimum, beyond basic coverages, buy:
- Comprehensive. ("Comp").
- Collision Coverage. (Read More here.)
Unlike the property damage ("PD") coverages all drivers must carry to cover minimum damages to the other person's car, collision coverages are additional insurance that you pay extra for, to deal with your vehicle's repair or replacement costs.
Typical examples of events covered are if your car crashes into an object or another vehicle. Or a scenario if it rolled over. This coverage is designed to fix up or replace your ride after a bad wreck. Whether a simple fender bender or a bad wreck, it covers you for an uninsured person. Even if it's your fault, you paid coverage for this.
Others Deep Pockets.
When you fail to buy additional coverage from your insurance broker, you can get a smart lawyer to seek out the defendant's assets. This expert will "DOE in" other potential defendants. This means when others are found to be at fault, they can become added to the pleading. And hence, they are "DOE'd In." Making sense so far?
These others can be employers, and even the city, state or federal governments. Often they are the agencies responsible for maintaining a dangerous condition. So imagine a pothole on a public roadway, for example.
Or imagine a failure to install or maintain a guard rail at a blind corner? There is always more than one way to skin a cat. If hit by a UM or UIM driver it does not mean you have lost yet. A lawyer can try to find deep pockets. And big injuries will mandate a settlement to pay all the damages.
A good lawyer will be able to argue a supervening, intervening event interfered. So that is what caused, created, added to the injuries. What if you were forced to take evasive action? Perhaps you had to avoid hitting an unattended child? Maybe that child had wandered beyond the gates of his mansion? So now the little tike crawled into the main coast highway?
That may be a claim against the wealthy parents for negligence. Even when you don't have an ace in the hole, a crafty lawyer will always find a way to put his client in a position of strength. At least in negotiations and outcomes, there are multiple parties to pay.
Do You Need a Lawyer to Guard Your Rights?
yes you do! While, as discussed above, the law requires drivers to carry car insurance. They only need this to get a license and registration. In fact, there are cases where licensed drivers do not have it at all. So if injured in an accident with an uninsured driver, you will need full coverage. And you will also need legal assistance.
Ehline Law has attorneys specialized in the field of uninsured drivers and has dealt with similar cases in the past. When this occurs the fiscal and emotional burden is rough.
Lawyers Can Challenge Smug Insurers?
Yes they sure can. Ehline Law is familiar with the intricacies of the law and insurance's pernicious practices. These lawyers can get you the maximum coverage for such a situation. Also, we can use the uninsured motorist law to challenge your insurance company. We can demand the damages sustained be paid.
This will make sure that your insurance company will then pursue the wild party too. And they can force that party that party to pay. Of course, the insurance company will likely not like to do this. But that is why you paid extra.
An expert lawyer can directly challenge the offending party too. This could involve an out of court settlement. Or it could be a case in front of a judge. Either way, the need for prompt legal assistance is paramount.

Published December 4, 2018
Buffalo, NY is well-known for their chicken wings and the geological wonder of Niagara Falls, but what else is there to learn about in the community? To answer this question, Noemi Waight and Sarah Robert, associate professors from the Department of Learning and Instruction are collaborating on a project, "Preservice Teachers Biking to 'uncover' Science and Social Studies in their Buffalo Communities."
Science and social studies students aspiring to become teachers are pushed to learn outside of the classroom, as they are taught to engage in local context-specific scientific and social phenomena in their surrounding communities.
"Our goal as educators is to emphasize interdisciplinary science and social studies teaching and learning, which starts with the child, what they bring to the classroom and how their environment informs their knowledge," Waight said. "It is not about telling our students but rather allowing them to experience it for themselves, and what better way to do that than by biking, a healthy and environmentally conscious approach."
Preservice teachers can draw on different community resources to learn about the communities where they could potentially be teaching in the future. One instance is a biking trip through the West Side of Buffalo and onto Broderick Park and Unity Island where preservice teachers focused on scientific phenomena. For example, in the case of science, addressing the invasive species and also the restoration of the flora on Unity Island. Students also visited the Buffalo History museum to examine the history of Buffalo and learn about the Haudenosaunee, the first inhabitants of the Buffalo area.
"It is important for our students to learn about this history and thus understand the changing demographics and landscape for K-12 schooling in Western New York," Waight said. "This project helps teachers and students become more active advocates of their community because they understand why they must protect their environment."
Waight and Robert enjoy biking and exploring the community so much that they decided to start this project that introduces aspiring teachers to the main aspects of Buffalo. "In my case, I am not from Buffalo and one of the ways I learned about my community is through biking, which is a very healthy way to explore and offer an opportunity to cover more distance," Waight said. Students noted they learned a lot from this experience and a few expressed they had never spent time on the West Side in their reflections.

Next Ventures appoints director of SAP and business application practices
Next Ventures has appointed Nick Savage as director of the SAP and business applications practices.
Savage has a successful track record of building specialist recruitment teams, specifically focusing on SAP and large enterprise technology globally. Most recently as managing director of NP Group, Savage oversaw its global strategic technology talent solutions. Previously he has held leadership positions at Red Commerce Ltd, Sapient and Modis (the Adecco Group).
Savage (pictured) said, "As part of their core IT strategy, and to enable key digital transformations, todays (sic) Enterprise Clients look for partners that can deliver enterprise technology talent globally. Not many businesses can, but with Next Ventures, I very quickly recognised their pedigree in recruiting for SAP and Oracle, combined with specialist teams that focus on business applications, SAP, data, cloud & infrastructure, development and integration, and felt NV can truly add the level of value needed by today's companies that other recruitment businesses cannot.
"Commercially NV has ambitious growth plans with the platform in place to meet these. They have an expanding contractor base currently working with more than 150 clients in key enterprise transformation programmes across 16 different countries. Unlike many others, NV are truly focused on expanding their operations globally and on track to meet these ambitions.
"Internally NV has a training and development framework in place, with a clear employee journey fostering engagement and advancement at all levels. All this tells me there's an opportunity to expand and develop the management team further, which personally gives me a real opportunity to help create something memorable and exciting."
NV co-founder, Richard Lacey, commented, "Next Ventures SAP and business applications practices are the 'crown jewels' of our capability and when Nick became available our search for a very strong quality focused leader was over. Nick has exactly the right attributes to take our current teams to the next level cementing us as the go to supplier of ERP and CRM recruitment services to the Large Enterprise market. Nick has extensive team and client development experience in the SAP and Oracle ERP domains and his consultative approach is synergistic with our philosophy of close partnership with clients and focus on quality over quantity. 2019 and beyond is going to be great fun and we all look forward to working with Nick to grow to £75million and beyond."

Now, there's a second installment in the campaign. It takes place during a long drive and features two different aging stars. Some scruffy young dudes get hungry and start behaving (and looking) like divas, until Snickers brings them back from the edge. Aretha Franklin plays Diva No. 1, and if she wants the A/C turned on, crank it! It would be a crime to D-I-S-R-E-S-P-E-C-T the Queen of Soul. But Diva No. 2 is Liza Minnelli, who looks like a cross between Pee-Wee Herman and Pinocchio these days. She rode her famous parents' coattails to ear-splitting stardom. If she rides this spot to a comeback, it would be a crime against humanity. Quick, stuff a Snickers in her mouth before she starts to sing! Just kidding, Liza! You're a good sport for poking fun at your image. (And thanks for not singing.)—Posted by David Gianatasio Share http://adweek.it/2jLkZYF copy Adweek Adweek

MADRAS, OR -- Madras officials hope the city will be the next big beer destination in Oregon. Community Development Director Nick Snead says a new incentive package and marketing materials are now being used to attract a brewery or brew pub to downtown Madras. "It's one of the last communities in Oregon to not have a brewery; we have a lot of farm to table or farm to tap opportunities here that are unique to Madras, even in Central Oregon. And, the Madras Redevelopment Commission (MRC) would like to provide some assistance to whoever is selected to open the brewery or brewpub in Madras." He says providing an incentive to prospective businesses is fairly unique, "In fact, one of our consultants told me he's not aware of any city in the United States that's recruited a brewery like this." Snead says the actual dollar amount of the incentive package hasn't been determined, since it isn't yet known whether an existing facility will be used, or new construction is needed.

Simon Says - Spot the difference – climate campaigning is getting smarter
Primary tabs
Simon Says - Spot the difference – climate campaigning is getting smarter
As I write this blog today the news is full of the climate emergency. Pictures of kids striking, interviews with business leaders, politicians claiming support, scientists providing advice and even some real people with real concerns and real stories of climate's impact on them. Who would have thought that climate change would be getting such high profile verses other issues like Brexit after so many years whistling into the wind?
Has anyone spotted the difference? I believe there are two reasons climate change is moving into mainstream thinking and mainstream media. If I'm right, we need to build on the success in these areas and not slip back into old, less successful ways.
The first is the figurehead. Greta Thunberg the 16-year-old Swedish youth campaigner. Instead of the usual crusty old beardy environmentalists we hear prophesying doom, here is a young, smart, dedicated and passionate 'school child' speaking clearly and firmly to anyone who will listen. She has become the icon, the lightning rod, for the younger generation who rightly feel they have been passed a pretty poor hand by the generations before them. She looks even younger than her years which makes the message even more emotive. This is young people talking to young people; and she is galvanising a whole movement of youngsters who rightly feel they aren't being listened to.
Sooner or later I predict a backlash will come and those with vested interest in fighting against climate change action will attack her either directly or more likely indirectly through criticising her policies. But for now Greta holds considerable influence and we must all make the most of it and learn from it.
The second reason is that climate change campaigning has branched out and become more relevant to more people through examples that we can all relate to. For years I have been critical of climate change campaigning because in my opinion it has been too technically based, too esoteric and too big for any of us to make a difference. With a religious fervour, it has appeared that we were being called on to make changes to the quality of our lives that would make imperceptible changes to the global climate problem. Also that climate was somehow outside of nature, wildlife and conservation because it was THE environmental problem.
In my opinion, there has been a pretty recent shift in approach towards showing climate change not just as intangible tonnes of CO2, but as the broader natural environment, which it most certainly is. You only have to look at concepts such a Gaia, proposed by DWT's Patron Prof James Lovelock, to see that at the global scale all things are connected. We won't solve the warming of the climate without protecting our nature because ecosystems, which include humans as we can never be above nature, are a complex set of inter-connections, feed-back loops and buffers to name just a few.
Engaging nature and the wider natural environment in the climate debate rather than excluding them has several positive implications. Now we can tell tangible stories of how humans are messing up the planet that causes multiple environmental damage such as species extinctions and climate warming. Only today examples being used included the appalling destruction of the Amazon forest and the devastating loss of 3 billion birds in America and 260 million in Europe over only the last decade. These show to people in far more understandable, illustrative and emotive ways real stories about what we are doing to our planet, rather than talking about the probabilities of a 1.5'C temperature rise or so many tonnes of CO2 – which you can't relate to and are very hard to envisage.
A challenge we have is that we all have to do things which are individual and discrete actions, but we have to think and plan holistically for the planet. This can be confusing. Yesterday on Radio 4 I heard an academic saying that if Germany shifted away completely from coal it would only save a maximum of 2% of what is needed to keep the world at a 1.5'C rise. This was said as if it wasn't worth-while, but actually that's huge. Just because something else has a bigger impact, such as Chinese power stations, doesn't mean we shouldn't do something. The solution won't be a global carbon capture and storage factory, it will be you and me taking billions of tiny steps.
So by taking a broader approach to environmental impacts we all benefit from each other and not try to fight lots of independent, siloed battles. Greta makes this a human problem and more than that a young human problem. Rainforest, birds and insect loss brings it home to us what is going on around us. Please don't despair. This is repairable and we can all do something. For example go to the Dorset Wildlife Trust website to see what you can do that will make a difference and start a building tsunami of actions to stop climate change and reverse our loss of nature.

Is your life out of control? Do people take advantage of you? Do you have trouble saying no? Christians often focus so much on being loving and unselfish that they forget their own limitations. Have you ever found yourself wondering: * Can I set limits and still be a loving person? * What are my legitimate boundaries? * How do I answer someone who wants my time, love, energy, or money? * Why do I feel guilty when I consider setting boundaries? Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend give you biblically based answers to these and other tough questions, showing you how to set healthy boundaries with parents, spouses, children, friends, coworkers, and even with yourself. You'll see vital principles of boundaries at work as Drs. Cloud and Townsend take you through a day in the life of 'Sherrie'--first as she lives with almost no boundaries, then as she begins to apply proper boundaries with others in her life.
I first read this book in the 1990s, at about the same time I read The Joshua Factor. Cloud and Townsend integrate their psychological and theological understandings in a refreshing manner. It is unashamedly Christian in focus, but that need not deter the non-Christian from taking note of the lessons, and adapting the spiritual aspects to their own faith or spirituality. What I like about the book is the applicability of boundary lessons, especially to areas of one's life that are deeply familial and personal. This is the book's strength, and when combined with the psychological foundations and research, the messages are powerful. I am pleased to have re-read this book, and the timing was perfect. The quote I wrote down over and over again while reading this was "Own the problem" (p. 207). And Proverbs 19:3 kept coming back to me: "The foolishness of man twists his way, and his heart frets against the Lord" (NKJV). If the non-Christian reader can identify with the philosophical and spiritual bases drawn upon in the book, there is much wisdom to be gained. A work well worth reading as part of one's end-of-year reflection.
A good friend of mine read this book and recommended it to me. Then coincidentally my son started reading it. So I thought I'd pick it up, not expecting it to be as good as it is! This is probably one of the best books I've read this year. The authors are Christian and come from that orientation, but anyone could read this book and be transformed by its truths. The chapters cover boundary setting in different spheres of life- work, marriage, with children, aging parents, and with oneself. They talk about guilt, and for me one of the most important concepts- owning one's problems. So ( and this is an oversimplification) if you are annoyed by someone's being consistently late- just let him/her know that next time you hope she'll be on time but if not you'll leave w/o her. Whoa! It's so simple, but so few people actually do this! They, including me, will cajole, remind, nag, family members to get ready, hurry up, c'mon, we're going to be late, etc.. Instead of setting a boundary... So.. I tried it with my daughter. And lo and behold.. now she knows I'll leave for the gym w/o her if she's not ready. And guess what? She's prompt now! So... not that this is a magic cure.. but just one simple example of taking control of yourself and letting consequences happen naturally . Love it. I plan to re-read this from time to time. Highly recommend.
Some good things to say but alot of unhelpful advice. Read I Kissed Dating Goodbye it's much more clear.
Having clear boundaries is essential to a healthy, balanced lifestyle. A boundary is a personal property line that marks those things for which we are responsible. In other words, boundaries define who we are and who we are not. Boundaries impact all areas of our lives: Physical boundaries help us determine who may touch us and under what circumstances -- Mental boundaries give us the freedom to have our own thoughts and opinions -- Emotional boundaries help us to deal with our own emotions and disengage from the harmful, manipulative emotions of others -- Spiritual boundaries help us to distinguish God's will from our own and give us renewed awe for our Creator -- Often, Christians focus so much on being loving and unselfish that they forget their own limits and limitations. When confronted with their lack of boundaries, they ask: - Can I set limits and still be a loving person? - What are legitimate boundaries? - What if someone is upset or hurt by my boundaries? - How do I answer someone who wants my time, love, energy, or money? - Aren't boundaries selfish? - Why do I feel guilty or afraid when I consider setting boundaries? Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend offer biblically-based answers to these and other tough questions, showing us how to set healthy boundaries with our parents, spouses, children, friends, co-workers, and even ourselves.
Good, basic thoughts on setting boundaries in your life.
Too Christian for my tastes. The messages are largely good, but drowned by all the talk of what God wants.
This book is interesting and insightful! It really made me realize alot of the ways I can set healthy boundaries for myself and that its an important thing to do.
This book boosted my confidence to stand on my ground to set boundary between me and my cheating friend.
just ok as a book. The concept is simple and straight forward but the book is rather tedious.
I'm surprised to be giving this a full five stars, seeing as Dr. Cloud is an evangelical Christian - and writes like one! - and I'm agnostic/atheist. But it earns the full five stars. What he says about boundaries (and the way to sanity) is something pretty much everyone in the modern world needs to hear in some form. If you can deal with a bit of Christianity without it driving you totally nuts (and, really, it's not all that strong, doesn't sound like a Bible study or anything), then I'd highly recommend this book.
This is a very helpful book. The authors cover a wide variety of different types of boundary issues, so naturally, the reader will find it difficult to relate to some of them. My experience was that I related quite strongly to some and couldn't relate at all to others. Still, it's certainly a very worthwhile book to read if you or someone you know is struggling with a personal boundary issue of some kind - be it spouse, family, friends, work or church. They're all pretty well covered here.
Front row placement on my bookshelves, so I can refer to it often. This book is beautifully written, with scriptural and historical data to explain and clarify sociological expectations and create more functional relations.
Many good insights. I can understand those who say it was life-changing. It was recommended to me with the caveat that I'd have to not be distracted by the many Christian and biblical references. I find that's good advice. Don't avoid reading it just because you're not from a religious background; that can just be considered window dressing. The book offers a lot of help to those who are burned out or stressed by daily demands or difficult people.
I would give this book 10 stars if I could... life changing.
This is a book that I have to read many times over, the concept of letting go of the bad to let in the good resonated more than anything. Yes the book is repetitive, but the more you read something, the more you will understand and retain. Each person carries their own daily load, but we all share our burdens.
I agree with the concepts put forward in this book, though I found it almost impossible to read from a literature point of view. I assume that Cloud and Townsend have tried to write it so that it can be read and understood by anyone, which leaves it extremely bland, repetitive and poorly written. Rather than expand well on the topic or go into greater depth, they have repeated their concepts over and again, applying the same formula to multitudes of case studies. This book could be condensed to about 20 pages, if people can't get the same thought process out of that they aren't going to. It was a good idea, but very poorly executed, they may have done better to employ a ghost writer.
A helpful book in understanding how to define and set healthy boundaries for the Christian life.
There is some very useful stuff in this book, but I do not believe the authors distinguish enough between keeping those boundries up about the bad while loosening up about the good. They SAY that, but in their examples they do not encourage that.To explain, let me use the story at the end of the book, which is a woman's day when she has her boundaries functioning "properly." The discipline she teaches her childing is good, but as for the rest of it, what love does she show? Does she help bear the burdens of those around her, as we are instructed to do in Galatians 6?Obviously not. In fact, she dumps her work onto her assistant so she can skip out early, makes herself a pest to her husband until he conforms to her wishes, and hangs up on a friend who had called her for help.Before boundaries, she was a wreck, it is true. Yet is the solution to being stressed an abandonment of Christian responsibility, or is it to lean on God for more patience?I would rather be tearing my hair out in service than to assert myself in what I would consider an unchristian way. The authors have laid out a method by which you can make everyone around you do your bidding. And yet the first shall be last in the end. Let me be a servant!
Found this book very helpful. Easy to read and grasp the principles. Essential advice for survival in marriage and parenting and friendships
Excellent read. It was recommended to me by someone who encouraged me and prayed with me. It changed the way I dealt with people, and my way of perceiving in general. If there is one book I'd recommend without reserve, it'd be this one.

The walnut husk is the inner part of the peel that covers the walnuts. When the fruits are ripe, this peel is green, then starting to darken due to the action of tannins present in the plant, until it assumes the characteristic brown color.
The nocino liqueur is obtained from the fresh hull of young walnuts. If dried and pulverized, however, the husk produces a powder that can be used for dyeing purposes to color wood, textiles and hair. The color with walnut husk is an ancient technique, used by the Persians to dye wool for the manufacture of carpets. On the hair the walnut husk does not release a real dye pigment, but an effective reflective pigment to obtain or accentuate the brownish reflections, darkening the light blond or brown hair.
Walnut husk: properties
The scientific name of the walnut is juglans regia, so in the Inci you can find it under the name juglans regia shell powder or juglans regia seed coat powder. If applied on the hair, the walnut husk has properties:
- polishes
- reinforcing
- sebum-regulating
As said, through repeated applications, the walnut husk is able to progressively darken light hair until intense brown / chestnut color is achieved.
How to prepare the dye pack with walnut husk
It is sufficient to dissolve the powder in hot water, to form a creamy and homogeneous mixture, of the same consistency of the yoghurt. By adding a teaspoon of bicarbonate, it is possible to reinforce the released color, since the walnut husk prefers a basic environment. Wait about 15 minutes and then proceed with the application on clean hair, no matter if it is dry or wet. Distribute evenly on the hair and cover with a transparent film or a cap to preserve the moisture of the batter, a necessary condition to ensure dyeing power.
Shutter speeds range from 20 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the desired coloring intensity. At the end, it is advisable to wash the hair with only water, applying a balsam nut to counteract the possible dryness of the tips. Acid rinse is recommended, which performs the important function of closing the scales of the hair, polishing it and fixing the color at its best. Just add an acidic substance, such as vinegar or lemon juice, to the last rinse water.
Walnut husk plus henna to cover white hair
On the hair already intensely brown, however, the effect of walnut husk does not affect the final color, being able to only reflect them and giving at the same time more body and intensity to the starting tone. In the presence of white hair, moreover, the walnut husk is not able to guarantee the covering, since it contains a reflecting pigment and not fully dyeing. The whites treated only with this powder will take on a slightly amber color destined to fade in a few washes. In this case, the walnut husk can be used in combination with stronger dyeing herbs, first of all henna.
When used in combination with the lawsonia, the walnut husk manages to dampen the coppery and orange reflexes, cooling the henna color. Moreover, this combination guarantees a better grip and a longer life of the hue obtained over time. In fact, henna is the only dyeing herb capable of permanently binding itself to the keratin of the hair, acting as a carrier for the other dyeing powders. And above all, in this way a complete and uniform coverage of white hair is guaranteed.
In this case, however, the hair, including the whites, will take on color and red hues. The walnut husk, just because reflecting, alone is not enough to turn the red color of the lawsonia towards shades of brown. If this type of dye is desired and at the same time there is a need to cover white hair, the walnut husk should be used in combination with henna and a dyeing herb with darkening power, namely katam or indigo.
The lawsonia will be mordant, ensuring also the complete and satisfactory coverage of the whites, the brown or brown color will be released by the katam or indigo, while the walnut husk will give more or less amber or hazel shades, giving depth and body to the color the final.
On a medium brown, a good mix could be represented by a dyeing pack consisting of 30% of henna, 40% of darkening grass and 30 of walnut husk. But they are only indicative percentages, not to be taken literally. The final result will depend on a number of factors including the basic shade, the percentage of whites and the porosity of the hair. Each hair is different and there are no universally valid rules. In case of abundant white regrowth, the percentage of lawsonia may increase, or if you want lighter shades you can decrease the percentage of indigo or katam.
The important thing is that the quantity of darkening grass present in the mixture is greater than that of the walnut husk, because they are respectively the katam or the indigo to dye the brown hair. The walnut husk has only the power to reflect or accentuate the nuances obtained. In any case, before applying the color, always test on a lock of hidden hair, for example behind the back of the head. In this way you will avoid the risk of unpleasant colors.
There are various mixtures known as 'hazelnut' or 'walnut husk'. These are ready-made mixes in which walnut husk powder is combined with henna and indigo. Generally it is good quality products, but always check the Inci of the packages to verify the purity of the ingredients. Only the scientific name of the individual herbs should be reported, without the addition of dyes or chemical additives. These blends are especially suitable for those who want to save time. Otherwise they can be reproduced in the home version, with the advantage of being able to better modulate the percentages of the individual herbs according to different factors, including the initial color and the desired result.
If, on the other hand, there is no need to cover the white hair, but you only want to reflect the hair, giving more amber shades or chestnut nuances, you can use walnut husk in combination with the cassia. In this way the final result will be truly remarkable: the shades of brown will be enhanced and at the same time the hair will appear voluminous, shiny, soft and silky.
The different shades of the reflections will obviously depend on both the initial color and the shutter speed. In short poses, the compress will release amber reflections, which will gradually become darker and increase shutter speed. By oxidizing the cassia for at least 12 hours in an acidic environment, it will release golden reflections on our hair. Combined with walnut husk, oxidized cassia can be used to obtain golden brown tones. The only precaution to follow is the method of preparation: the walnut husk will be macerated separately in hot water and a pinch of bicarbonate. and added only at the end, since this powder prefers a basic environment.
As you can see, the possibilities are many. Knowing the characteristics of the individual dyeing herbs and mastering the related preparation techniques, it is possible to obtain always unique and always different results, in the name of anti-socialism, hair health, beauty and naturalness of the final effect. The important thing is to want to experiment and not be discouraged after the first application if perhaps the result does not satisfy us fully. Knowledge, experience and perseverance are the keys to access the universe of herbal dyeing.

Self-esteem and emotional abuse go hand in hand if you are involved in an abusive relationship.
Even though emotional abuse does not leave physical scars on a person, it has a major impact on your self-esteem.
Any form of abuse is a game to gain control over your partner, but emotional abuse in its purest form is a direct attack on your self-esteem. The object is to break you down totally so that you can be manipulated more easily.
Unfortunately, our self-esteem tends to be based on external factors such as our weight, income and like-ability.
These factors are the easiest to attack verbally; "you are fat", "you need to get an increase" and "none of my friends like you".
Yes, I heard these all, and more.
My question is this…
Who suffers from lower self-esteem; the abuser or the person being emotionally abused?
Does your abuser pile on the emotional abuse to make them feel better about themselves, or do you accept the abuse because you feel you deserve it?
Low self-esteem often leads you to behave in a manner which almost makes your thoughts turn into self-fulfilling prophecies.
If both partner's suffer from low-self esteem, then there is no option other than chaos within your relationship.
The abuser as well as the abused then could become co-dependent on each other, and that is a whole other story.
If your abuser suffers from low self-esteem, their behavior will tend to be destructive to themselves or to those around them.
If you suffer from low-self esteem you will tend to suppress your feelings and will keep everything internalized. The biggest mistake you will make is to not speak up or take action against your abuser.
If your abuser has a low self-esteem, then
- don't get into arguments with them; you will end up arguing for hours and not achieving anything.
- don't try and "fix" what you think may be wrong with them,
- don't feel obliged to stay in the relationship.
If you struggle with low self-esteem, then I believe there is only one option and that is to talk about the abuse to someone; friends, family or a therapist.
Once you have walked away from your relationship, you need to start working on boosting your self-esteem or else you will find yourself falling into many destructive relationships.
A few ways to do this are…
- repeat positive affirmations about yourself on a daily basis; it may seem a little stupid, but hearing yourself say that you don't deserve to be treated badly by anyone, makes a huge difference in your outlook on life,
- set boundaries and stick to them. If you do become involved with someone after being emotionally abused, your boundaries need to be sacrosanct. The second a boundary is violated, act decisively, even if it means walking away again,
- build a support group and use them when needed.
Don't just use external factors to determine your self-worth; you are more than just a physical being.

Leicester vs Middlesbrough: Misfiring Boro star Alvaro Negredo insists: 'I trust my own ability'
Striker confident he can end his goal drought against Premier League champions Leicester
ALVARO NEGREDO insists his lack of goals has not affected his confidence – but admits he is determined end his drought against Leicester.
The on-loan Valencia striker has only found the net once this campaign on the opening game of the season, leading to boss Aitor Karanka having to defend the frontman this week.
Former Manchester City man Negredo's barren run has now stretched to eleven matches.
Keep up-to-date with all the latest transfer news and gossip ahead of the January window with SunSport's daily LIVE blog.
But ahead of the trip to the Premier League champions on Saturday, the Spaniard has full confidence a goal is coming.
The 31-year-old said: "From a selfish point of view, a striker always feels better after scoring goals - it raises your confidence and everything goes with it.

"But for the team it is not just about that. The manager has a plan and we try our best to carry out that plan.
"I have always put trust in my own ability. Now I have a team behind me who want to help me and believe in that too.
"I'm determined to do well, not just on a personal level, but also for Boro and for the fans."
Boro head to Leicester knowing that victory would see them leapfrog their opponents.
Claudio Ranieri's side are struggling to repeat their heroics from last year, but after sealing their qualification into the Champions League knockouts in midweek, Negredo is expecting a difficult task.
Speaking to Boro's website, Negredo said: "We know Leicester have just played their last Champions League game. Because they have done well in that competition they will have confidence.
"But we also know they are not performing as well in the league as they did last season.
e're mentally ready and we have shown that in the last four matches. We've competed against really strong teams so we've got a good chance.
"Every game is an opportunity for us, and we will give it 100 per cent."

Victim recalls self defense training, fights "tooth and nail"
When a knife-wielding sexual predator gets you in his cross-hairs, the last place you want to be is walking alone in the Australian bushlands.
Yet that's what a 29-year-old female faced two days ago when the assailant casually approached, asking for directions.
As soon as she opened her mouth to reply, he punched her in the head and face and knocked her to the ground, wrapping his hands around her throat.
The next few words from the predator set off her survival instinct: "If you struggle, I will kill you."
Threats such as this are a common tool of the predator. They want what they came for, and they don't want to fight for it.
Many women comply with the threat and are raped, beaten or killed.
The decision to fight when someone threatens your life is a deeply personal one. Victims must use their best instinct, but they should also know that they have a better chance of avoiding the rape if they fight back both verbally and physically.
Suzanne over at Women's Self-Defense has compiled a good set of statistics from authoritative sources. According to the research, if a woman complies with a threat, she is virtually guaranteed to be raped. But if she uses self-protective measures, such as forceful verbal resistance and physical resistance, her odds of getting away improve dramatically.
And remember, these stats are derived from the general population of victims, the vast majority of whom are not trained in self defense. You have to assume that physical resistance will be even more effective if the victim is properly trained.
The 29-year-old Australian had taken self defense classes in school. She was being assaulted by a man with a knife. In the middle of nowhere. He threatened her life. And her assessment of the situation was sobering.
She told police: "I immediately thought, 'He's going to kill me anyway. I've got to fight tooth and nail.'"
She screamed and fought back, suffering a beating and knife wounds that required surgery to repair.
But she got away.
She will wake up tomorrow morning with the rest of us. Her physical wounds will heal. And she was not raped.
Attack reported by the Sydney Morning Herald.
