Many publications tell us to avoid people while the baby is little but that leaves mommy, and daddy too, feeling kinda lonely. While nobody gets to decide how we raise our child, it would be best to rely on close friends and family to keep us company and sane. Nobody should quit society just because they have a newborn.
When the baby comes, especially for new parents, life might be overwhelming. Reading books and all the information online makes us feel like we have most of the work done when, in reality, once the baby comes out of the womb is when the work really starts.
Parenting is hard but is not a one-man job
While you were pregnant, whether it was your spouse or yourself, having thoughts of how the baby was going to be, how his eyes were going to look at you back, how his cry would sound like, how his head would smell is recurrent. Further from that thought comes how you are going to deal with toddler tantrums, whether you're choosing to leave the baby at daycare early on or what to do if he develops any kind of food allergy.
Pregnancy is a time to reflect on your parenting methods. If you don't have children, pregnancy means you will be a parent for sure and you want to learn everything there is to know about children. If you do have offspring, most people reflect on their previous upbringing methods and maybe start fresh with a new child. Either way, pregnancy helps you reflect, imagine and wonder about the endless possibilities a child means.
Once the baby is born, there are so many emotions in the air. Nobody knows this person who just arrived into the world. Their personalities won't show up right away but looking at their tiny little faces is enough to start wondering how everything might turn out.
Learning how to deal with a new human life
There are traits that are particular for every baby. Some cry when they're a little bit wet, others take longer. Some babies are easier to put to bed, some won't sleep on their backs, some will just want to sleep nursing, some are very strong-willed, some are easier to deal with and all of them are wonderful little creatures. Every parent has to deal with each personality and it helps a lot if both parents are around.
Newborns are just a little box of surprises. That newcomer is discovering how his body works, how the world actually is, what he likes and dislikes and how wonderful love is, although the baby doesn't really understand that what he's feeling and what others are feeling for him is love.
You love your child and your world spins around that wonderful kid but, suddenly after a while, you start remembering that you used to be a person before this baby was born. You had friends, conversation, hobbies, books, tv shows, a place you were a regular at, the family that visited or called often, but right after you had a baby it all seem to disappear. Maybe it lasted a month, maybe more but it certainly happened and you didn't realize.
All you think and talk now are diapers, spit up, food allergies, breastfeeding schedules, best brand of baby products and the best routines to have. If you remembered that you had friends, they might give you the side eye when talking about babies after a Netflix conversation.
From my experience, even if you do love that child more than life itself, you do need some time for yourself and that includes your social self. Having interactions with other people is a must. You must never forget that you live in a world surrounded by people other than your children.
Everybody needs a support system
When you come back from the hospital with you little one, it doesn't matter if the delivery was natural or if it was a c-section, the baby is there and he needs your love and attention. That vulnerable human being needs you but there should be a balance. You need to keep your sanity as he needs to be nursed and changed.
If grandma wants to help, let her. If daddy wants to deal with bedtime, wonderful. Mommy doesn't always have to be the one who performs every little thing for the kid. When nobody is around, mommy and/or daddy should be available so rest, food, and sanity are very important to have when taking care of a newborn.
If the dishes aren't done and your best friend comes for a visit and offers to help, just let that happen. It does take a village to raise a child, a support system is always necessary.
Postpartum depression can be serious
A lotof women deal with depression after delivery and in this article that means nobody should be left alone. There are times to be alone but this isn't one of them. If mommy doesn't feel right at all and daddy is in too much pressure, having company is the best remedy in that moment. It is nice to have someone to lean in when things get tough and you haven't had any sleep or a decent meal.
Having people around you can be overwhelming when dealing with PPD but if the attention is centered on the baby, everything can turn out great. The support system we talked about before is the key to not let what came over you, come for your baby too. Being a lonely mommy is not advisable when dealing with this issue. Once you get back on your feet, you can do whatever it is that you want as a family.
Some people love quiet time, some others need their friends and company. Everybody needs to take care of their children and if that means to finally trust another adult with your child, so be it. Parents need a break, even when babies are small. Sleep is important for everybody and nutrition too, mostly when dealing with depression.
Let baby get used to regular home life
This little human being depends on you for everything. Even if there are some basic reflexes in humans, not all newborns know how to properly do everything. They suck as a reflex but they don't really know how to suck from the breast. They could fall asleep but they don't know squat about bedtime. They need their caretakers to help them learn how to be human beings and that includes how to tolerate regular home life surroundings.
From day one, the baby shouldn't be left apart in a room where nothing but mommy's boobie and daddy's touch happen. If it is a daily occurrence that people come to visit, let the baby participate in family life by joining the room. You don't need to do things outside your regular routine just because you had a child.
Befriending other parents is a blessing
Whenever we feel passionate about a subject, we try to talk about it with others. Our friend circle consists of people who have similar interests and who we can talk to and relate. That's why once you're a parent, you need fellow parent friends.
Maybe your single friends are really invested in your life and offer to help you with the child but the truth is life becomes easier when you have friends with children almost the same age as yours. Advice on discounts, comparing baby's stages, relieving concerns and just having a laugh about kids are enough reasons to have parents as friends.
If you're a millennial parent, meaning that you were born in the 80's up to '95, you're a young parent that grew up dealing with technology and even social media. Sharing your experiences through these media will make you closer to people who have children.
Maybe after the baby, you might feel you don't need to change your social circle or that making new parent friends could be exhausting but there is one thing that is certain, having a network of people going through the same thing as you is a relief. Your kids might be wonderful but you do need to talk or share experiences. Whether it is your parents, your in-laws, friends, neighbors or maybe people in a support group, it is good to have someone there.
Another thing to keep in mind is to set boundaries for people. One thing is to count with a support system and another is to let people make decisions in your life you want and need to be making. If you need to have company, make sure the ones involved with it know where they stand and what they can do, how long can they stay and what is the relationship they have with your baby.
It is true: You can't escape parenting advice
All parents dread unsolicited parenting advice. Once you turn into a parent, you get flooded with the advice you didn't know you needed. Some of it might crash with your own plans and some might be hideous and plain rude.
Your friends and family, even if they seem rude, they mean well. If you know that person is there to care for you and your child, what they're doing is therapy. Not only you need to share your parenting with others, experienced parents feel the need to advise others from their own experience. Listening to them is a good way to keep you company and keep them company at the same time.
So if you need company from other adults during this time of caring for a small child, don't worry, open up to people and you will find family and friends that will not only care for you but also for your child. Remember your baby needs you in mind and soul and that includes your sanity. Keep on parenting!

Whoopi Goldberg Clashes With BLM Activist Over Whether Or Not 'Planet Of The Apes' Is Racist
by July 14, 2017 1:14 am0
Have you ever heard of DeRay McKesson? Probably not. But apparently he thinks that the new Planet of the Apes film is a racist attack against him. DeRay is a prominent Black Lives Matter activist, and just like him, one of the apes in the planet of the apes poster wears a blue vest.
"Anti-Racism Strategist" Tariq Nasheed tweeted about the 'Planet of the Apes' poster. "Does the new Planet of the Apes poster have racially coded messages?Notice the #BlackLivesMatter symbolism. Notice the ape with the blue vest," wrote Nasheed referencing DeRay's blue vest. DeRay then responded.
"Given the history of rendering black people as apes, I'm offended & appalled by the lack of consciousness in Hollywood. In associating black people w/ apes, active work is being done to perpetuate the dehumanization of black ppl in mass media," tweeted DeRay.
Shockingly, 'The View's' Whoopi Goldberg was the voice of reason here. "DeRay, you need to go back and watch the 1968 original and check out what the apes were wearing. This has nothing to do with you. This was a movie about what happens when mankind doesn't pay attention to the environment, to how we treat animals and each other. That's what that movie was about. Get over yourself!" said Whoopi.
DeRay responded to Whoopi on twitter claiming that he no longer thinks it's about him. "@WhoopiGoldberg, if you have something to say, I'm here. Now, with the #PlanetOfTheApes poster & toy, I was contacted by folks within Hollywood who thought there was an issue, hence those tweets. After speaking with even more people about the history of the film, I deleted the tweets," he tweeted. Check out the video below.

Snowsled is a British company specialising in the design and manufacture of equipment for use in the Polar Regions. We also manufacture rescue equipment such as vacuum mattresses, casualty rescue bags and insulation pods. In addition to major Government and private expeditions the recreational community has seen the value of Snowsled gear and our customers now include skiers, hunters, ice fishers and just about anybody who travels in the Polar Regions or the back country in winter.
Snowsled was started in 1988 by Roger Daynes to manufacture Nansen Sleds for the British Antarctic Survey. Since that time we have supplied at least twelve National Antarctic and Arctic Research organisations as well as numerous private expeditions and recreational users. Our product range has increased to include pulk sleds which we make in fibreglass and Kevlar if required although our innovative HDPE plastic pulk systems are becoming ever more popular.
John Wright joined the Snowsled team in 2012 to lead our expansion into North America. Based to the South of Ottawa in Southern Ontario we stock the full range of Snowsled HDPE Pulks and accessories for distribution throughout North America. Other products are available by special order.

As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wrote in his mandate letter to my colleague Natural Resources Minister James Carr: "it is a core responsibility of the federal government to help get our natural resources to market…" It is a clear direction, by both this government and yours truly, to gain access to tidewater for Alberta's products and to exporting energy abroad. And was why we approved both Trans Mountain and Line 3 on November 29th, 2016.
However, as the Prime Minister has emphasized time and time again, the only way to get resources to market in the twenty-first century is if they are done sustainably and responsibly. The environment and the economy are two sides of the same coin, and it is not possible to achieve long term economic success without having the trust of the Canadian people, support by Indigenous Peoples', and allaying local concerns.
This is why we are working with the provinces and territories to develop a Canadian Energy Strategy. It's why our government has committed $1.5 billion over the next five years to have a world-leading Oceans Protection Plan to safeguard our coasts and invest in the transportation corridors that gain access for all of Canada's products abroad.
It's why our government is moving forward with putting a price on carbon pollution, which will give us a competitive edge internationally and incent the marketplace to innovate to build a clean-growth economy. This will also have the additional effect of safeguarding Canadian's health and clean air, and bring new and exciting job prospects for middle-class Canadians.
It's why, in the fall of 2016, our government approved Pacific Northwest. This is project has an estimated total capital investment of up to $36 billion and is one of Canada's largest resource development projects. This project will provide some 4,500 middle class jobs during construction and 630 indirect/direct jobs during its operation.
It's why we are ensuring the environmental risks linked to development are addressed by industry before projects proceed. The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency took in a ground-breaking 34,000 comments from the public, and was granted a three-month extension to the timeline to ensure we had the science right. Northwest will be required to comply with specific mitigation measures that will minimize adverse effects on fish habitat, wetlands, human health, and on Indigenous peoples. And for the first time ever, annual greenhouse gas emissions for the project have been capped at a maximum level that is substantially lower than initially envisaged for the project.
These decisions reflect our promise to work with provinces, indigenous peoples and Canadians to find practical solutions that will grow our economy, create good jobs and protect our environment for future generations.

Inbound Marketing University
To: My Virtual Assistant and Online Business Friends
From: Amber Whitener
Subject: FREE online classes and a certification test you'll want to take advantage of.
Today, I received my Inbound Marketing Certification from Inbound Marketing University.
What does this certify me (and you when you take it) for?
Information about the certification directly from http://inboundmarketing.com/university/certification:
"The Inbound Marketing Certification acknowledges the recipients proficiency in Inbound Marketing principals and best practices. These principles include: blogging, social media, lead conversion, lead nurturing, and closed-loop analysis.
In order to receive the Inbound Marketing Certification, the recipient must pass a comprehensive certification exam with a score of 75% or higher."
I had the opportunity to attend two FREE classes (in a webinar form) live online:
First Class
Class 14: Advanced Marketing Analytics (AZ501) Taught by: Avinash Kaushik, Google and author of Web Analytics 2.0 I feel VERY fortunate to have began my experience at Inbound Marketing University with this particular course. Mr. Kaushik was an incredibly engaging lecturer on the semi technical topic of web traffic analysis. There are few teachers who can make this sort of topic humorous and informative.
Second Class
Class 15: Passion-Inspired Video & Other Creative Content (GF502) Taught by: Gary Vaynerchuk, Wine Library TV, and author of Crush It! This was also a very interesting course, less about the tools more about the message. Gary made some very excellent points about how stiff the corporate condition is and how it stifles the possibilities of social media and video campaigns to market business.
Archived Classes
I perused the notes and many of the videos (15 in all) for all the rest of the classes to make sure I was ready to take their test. Each course is very content rich. It was all good review with extra tips tried and proven true by the speaker. Each well-selected speaker is a current expert in the field of the chosen topics.
About the Test
The test was 50 questions, and you only get an hour to finish it. There are only true/false and multiple choice questions. I liked the mix of technical and marketing knowledge required to pass this test. It was a good challenge. I ended up with a 92%. (YAY!) I highly recommend going to http://inboundmarketing.com and take advantage of some of the resources that are available. Let me know what you think. The next Exam session is scheduled for January 2010. I am hoping they have more classes available!

Yick. What a time for my period to start!
He was cool about it. He's been cool and great about a lot, lately, and it's been going on long enough for me to start letting go of my death grip on certain things. I've been making a lot of changes in my life, for the better. He has taken notice of all of it, and gone so far as to tell me how proud he is of me. He's been getting closer to me, more affectionate, kissing me in bed, hugging me more, upping the pet names, caring about my day more and calls me out if I skimp on the details. I've been more openly myself with him, saying what I want, doing what I want. In my life, my personality is establishing strongly, kind of going back in ways that I like, while also maintaining what I've freshly adopted. I'm going to unleash Amy all the way on this kid, and I don't care of the consequences. I hope he's ready for it and can take it!
The other night, I discovered that I have a secret too big to be revealed on Secrettalk. The truth of this secret scares me so much that I cried and cried when I realized it. I don't WANT this to be the truth, but it is. It's not what you think. It's actually an essentially GOOD thing in spirit and holiness, but topically and for this physical world, potentially bad and dangerous for me. It makes me completely vulnerable. And, no one can know how vulnerable I am.
But, if I am to be truly happy in this living world, I need hope and innocence to forever be a part of me. And, I have to be pure in heart and soul in order to be that way. No matter if I know better, no matter if I'm alone in this, no matter how much people will hurt and destroy me because I am this. I won't let it go. I can't. The secret I have, I hate it. I hate that it's true, but, I know that it's spiritually right and good. It's simply who I am, and it's what I've always been, in the very bowels of what I am, stripped entirely of everything else. So many people in the past three years have called me an angel. I was too busy wondering if there was a monster in me to accept that as anything but these people being deceived. No, they weren't. They just were able to see right away what I really am at a time when I didn't know who I was, anymore.
This will affect Derek and I in the fact that I'm going to just completely let go with him. I'm done holding back and protecting myself. I may not be in love with him and may not let myself be again, but I'm going to give him a chance to let himself go with me, too, if and when he wants to. What I can't do, though, is let him be my sole focus, like I've done in all relationships in my past. He's going to have to remain a side-show, and an addition to the main attraction. I must keep myself, my goals, my dreams, my progress, top priority. Not for protection from him and heartbreak, but to be the best Amy I can be, not only for myself, but for everyone else in the world, including Derek.

Waste Management Study
Guiding Principles of Solid Waste Management
There are seven principles that serve as guidelines in the planning and creation of a community's solid waste management program:
Waste is a resource.
When something is thrown away, it will not disappear or disintegrate. It will only end up somewhere else in some other form. When waste ends up where it is not suppose to be, it becomes useless, causes pollution and poses health risks. On the other hand, when waste is put in the right place, it becomes a valuable resource.
Waste prevention is better than waste regulation and control.
As the saying goes, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". The same is true with waste. Traditionally, waste management only starts after the waste is generated. As such, activities have focused largely on regulation and control.
Prevention means waste avoidance, reuse, recycling, and waste recovery. Through these activities, there will be less waste to collect and dispose of, less landfill space required, better conservation of natural resources, and reduced pollution of the land, water and air.
There is no single management and technological approach to solid waste. An integrated solid waste management system will best achieve solid waste management goals.
Waste management includes various activities such as the identification of sources and types of solid wastes, examination of the physical and chemical composition of solid waste, determination of waste generation rates and other influencing factors.
Proper solid waste management is a mission for all. Each sector has a particular responsibility. The overall success of a solid waste management system will substantially depend on the national government support, public participation and involvement, and private sector initiatives and participation.
Those who generate waste must bear the cost of its management and disposal.
Solid waste management does not incur costs and liabilities. Commonly, people are not aware of the full costs associated with the management of wastes they generate.
Solid waste management should be approached within the context of resource conservation, environmental protection and health, and sustainable development.
The problem of today's solid waste, if improperly handled, carries implications not only on the environment but also on the health and well-being of future generations.
Solid waste management programs should take into consideration the physical and socio-economic conditions of the concerned communities, and be designed according to the specific needs.
Different localities have different solid waste problems. A rural municipality's waste greatly differs from that of a highly urbanized city. The character and type of solid waste from coastal villages will be different from those of mining communities.
The Mechanics of Solid Waste Management
1. Waste generation
2. On-site storage
3. Collection
4. Transfer and transport
5. Processing and recovery
6. Disposal
Sources of solid waste in a community
1. Household wastes
2. Commercial-industrial wastes-wastes generated by restaurants, eateries, offices, markets, plants, mills and factories
3. Farm and agricultural wastes
4. Institutional wastes-wastes generated by hospitals, schools, churches and prisons.
5. Mining wastes
6. Miscellaneous and specialized wastes
7. Hazardous wastes-toxic or lethal, non-degradable
Factors that affect waste generation
1. The state of the national economy
2. The lifestyle of the people
3. The demographic profile of the population
4. The size and type of dwelling
5. Age
6. Religion
7. The extent to which the 3Rs are carried out
8. Presence of pets and domestic animals
9. Seasonal variations
10.Presence of laws and ordinances governing waste management
11.Company buy-back guarantees for used containers and packaging
Segregation begins at home
The success of any solid waste management program begins with the active participation of each individual member of the community. Its far-reaching benefits to health and the environment will be felt most of all by the individual.
Waste segregation refers to a solid waste management practice of separating different materials found in solid waste in order to promote recycling and re-use of resources and to reduce the volume of waste for collection and disposal.
With segregation, waste becomes a source that has yet to find its rightful place or proper use. Biodegradable waste from the kitchen and garden can be converted into compost or fertilizers for the soil. Newspapers, dry cardboard, bottles, tin cans, and old clothes and rags can be sold to itinerant buyers or junk dealers.
Classification of solid waste in a household:
1. Compostable/biodegradable waste
a. Kitchen wastes
b. Garden wastes
c. Animal wastes
d. Human wastes
2. Recyclable non-biodegradable waste
a. Metals
b. Glass
c. Rubber
d. Dry paper/cartons
e. Cloth/dry processed fiber
f. Dry leather/feathers
g. Hard shells
h. Recyclable plastics/plastic containers

The 3Rs of Solid Waste Management
Avoid wasteful consumption of goods. Begin by asking yourself: "Do I really need it?" In doing so, we minimize waste and conserve our natural resources. Reduce the amount of unnecessary packaging. Adopt practices that reduce waste toxicity.
Whenever practicable, reuse items that are still useful instead of just throwing them away. Maintain and repair durable products. Borrow, rent or share items that are not used frequently. Sell or donate goods instead of throwing them out. It would greatly help if we patronize goods that are reusable, rather we patronize goods that are reusable, rather than throwaway types.
Waste should be treated as a valuable resource. Items that are useless or of little value to one person often have significant value to another within a different setting or time. The process whereby portions of waste material are sorted and used for something of benefit is called recycling.
Tips for the consumer on practicing 3Rs
1. Avoid over-packaged goods.
2. Avoid or limit the use of disposable goods such as throwaway razors, pens, diapers, and cameras.
3. Buy food in bulk.
4. Buy durable products.
5. Compost yard clippings and leaves.
6. Patronize recycled and recyclable goods.
7. Promote community "curbside" recycling programs.
8. Eliminate household toxic wastes from the garbage stream.
9. Limit the use of toxic substances or use substitutes.
10.Patronize products that are made from renewable, rather than non-renewable resources.
11.Patronize biodegradable products.
12. Take the time to read and know about what constitutes bio-degradable and recyclables.

Rains, Hail Strike Alamogordo
Subdivision Flooded In Heavy Storms
Rains, Hail Strike Alamogordo
Subdivision Flooded In Heavy Storms
Heavy afternoon rains and hail struck quickly Thursday in Alamogordo, turning normally dusty arroyos into muddy rivers and leaving several homes flooded in the Boles Acres subdivision, Action 7 News reported.
The pool in Pat Denney's backyard was under water after flash floods struck.
Some power and telephone service was also disrupted, Action 7 News reported.
It was the first time the flooding has happened, according to Denney.
Leeah Flores wasn't so fortunate. Water and mud flowed into her home.
Another resident, Bob Schneider, said he listened to a suggestion from a real estate agent to buy flood insurance.
He recalled that he questioned that advice, but now said he understands why it was necessary.

Druis, Idris and Vidar
"I tell you, there's nothing here but me!"
"And I'm sure someone has taken liberties. It's nothing particular, just something!"
Idris looked at Vidar, " You're always saying that!" he shook his head in resignation, " I've been here all the time. Alone. Stackin' wood, sortin' it for charcoal or tinder or logs. Like you said. And here you are, come back with the pony and you reckon someone's been at it! Well, it's not me, nor anyone round here either!"
"Okay boy, keep it down. Whoever it was, I'll find 'em. I'll sort it!"
"Will you load 'im?" Idris indicated the pony.
"No, it's your turn."
Idris managed to hold his tongue but compressed his lips and shook his head briefly, hoping Vidar wouldn't notice. Luckily Vidar had already turned away, fingers raking through straggled beard as he peered once again around the coppice.
The pony was hoof-deep in the beck and picking at the cold water, the straps of the leather panniers over its back dangled down one side and drifted their free length in the current. Vidar turned, hands on hips to watch the pony. The birds, tight-clawed in the branches watched too.
Idris resigned himself to tying the faggots up before retrieving the now grazing pony to lash the bundles to its sides. No easy job for one but as Vidar was prowling round looking for strangers that didn't exist, Idris struggled with the job.
"Don't you look at me like that!" Idris muttered as the pony's head turned towards him, baleful eyes separated by a wide forehead covered in a fringe of mane that continued like a ragged curtain from the top of its neck almost down to hock. The rest of his body, except where flattened by the blanket then leather cloth to protect him from cuts from the branches was also covered in long horse hair, curled and coiled at his joints. A winter coat that would soon need trimming, he hoped.
Vidar grunted a jump over the beck and rejoined Idris and lifted the other roped bundle with one hand, held it to the pony's side while he quickly wrapped the dangling leash round it and hitched it around the two pommels at the front and repeated the action for the other two pommels, checking the carrier fitted tightly on the pony.
"Check the girth!" Vidar said abruptly and moved to their overnight fire. He spread the ash around as he checked it was out.
"As I always do." Idris said very quietly under his breath. The pony inflated his chest as Idris bent to the girth, "You too eh?" And leaned against the pony's side to unbalance it a little. The movement enabled him to feel the girth was tight enough to satisfy. He stood and moved to ruffle the mane on the neck before sliding his fingers through the halter and down to where the bit fitted.
The pony twisted head, lips and jaw in an attempt to catch the fingers pressed into the side of his mouth, which Idris adroitly avoided as usual. The bit rattled between the pony's chewing teeth and it shook its head away again.
Vidar returned and checked the balance of the load again whilst conning around the clearing, still certain they had received an unknown visitor. Still no obvious signs, just his feeling that the ambience of the trees and wild-life had subtly changed in his absence.
"Let's go then." Vidar called to his brother who was busy collecting their belongings; bedrolls, pots and whetstones and twisting and tying them into bundles to hang from the shafts of their axes. Vidar waited, took his axe and bundle and hooked the head over one shoulder with the bulky parcel resting on his back. Idris did similar, took the hanging rein of the pony and the trio started off. All three of their loads swaying as they walked in step round the trees and thickets towards the track and in a hour or so, their farmstead.
"If the weather holds we can rope the logs and haul them tomorrow." Vidar spoke first as they stepped onto the main track. "They're too big to lift onto the cart, might as well just drag them all the way."
Vidar turned and looked back, certain he could feel eyes watching all their movement. He saw nothing but felt a flicker between a clump of birch trees. Looked again and saw a shadow cast by the sun as it peered down on them from a break in the cloud.
If there was something there it was keeping itself secret and Vidar was fed up with chasing wisps of nymphs who should have known better. They would be back tomorrow with the horses, maybe some spare time to find whoever it was, if they were still there. His hackles would let him know.
Idris and the pony had continued so Vidar hurried to catch them up. He lunged up the bank to the edge of the raised track and his foot was supposed to strike firmly onto a tussock. It failed and slid between two. He stumbled, caught himself with one outstretched hand but lost his shoulder-load. Swearing, he righted himself and bent to retrieve the axe and bundle. As he did so he was sure he heard a girl's laughter. His hackles rose, there must be someone close. Vidar turned slowly and looked behind, breathed in through his nose to detect the slightest change in scents.
He saw nothing but the sunshine glancing off white birch. His nose tingled slightly. The laugh was short, joyous and young but the direction was unclear. It was almost that he heard it in his head not through his ears. "Mischievous nymph!" He muttered in preference to swearing.
Vidar caught up with the swaying haunch and twitching tail of the pony as it picked its way along the uneven path . He squeezed passed the pony with its rhythmically swinging load, avoiding the waist high nettles at the side. At the pony's head he looked across at Idris. Attention caught, Idris acknowledged the silent question with an exaggerated nod in the direction they were going. With a brief nod of thanks Vidar increased his pace towards their compound and his house. He retained composure until out of sight then began to jog as fast as possible, hindered by the bundle he had to carry. 'Should have left it with the pony', he muttered as it bounced uncomfortably on his shoulder.
'Maybe you should have stayed at home!' That voice giggled into his head again. He felt a catch of panic. He, the calmest one in the world. Or so Vidar often convinced himself. He lived for the forest, his working with the timber, the frequent silence of the pine forest but here, in this mixture of deciduous he was all too aware of the thrusting and fighting of the bird life amongst themselves not forgetting the creatures that paraded secretly in the undergrowth, not caring whether it was pine or beech as long as the ferns and brambles enabled them to blend. He didn't worry that he only caught fleeting glimpses of deer or rabbit. Sometimes he would see a fox stock-still sniffing the air, maybe turning its head to acknowledge his presence. Then Vidar would feel the understanding of the fox at work, or ready for wasteful play. Empathy of a sort running through his own veins. But this voice! The infectious sweet giggle was new in his head.
He pounded on. The thump of feet on the compounded path was all he heard, his running had quieted the nearest birds. Out of the thinned trees and for the final few yards of paddock he slowed to a walk.
Druis was kneeling in the herb garden loosening weeds and letting them collapse and dry in the sunshine. She stood carefully, brushed her skirts clean of soil whilst watching the approaching Vidar. Smiled, keeping her face towards him.
Vidar maintained his pace and relaxed, smiled in response to her. His senses returning to normal as he approached the woman. He reached the timber cabin and slipped the bundle casually from his shoulder and leaned the axe on the stoop.
Druis, bright eyed and smiling still, reached her man and took his brown hands in hers then touched his cheek and forehead as if smoothing away a crease of anxiety. He lowered his head and felt the further relaxation of his body. Their foreheads met softly and his arm moved to her buttocks and pressed her to him.
She giggled and twisted aside. "Beer, then food. " She said and skipped to the doorway where she stood. "But before!" She nodded toward the edge of the trees, " there's Idris!" and slid inside the house.
Vidar watched Idris and the pony walk towards the cabin on the raised pathway, offered a greeting as his brother led the pony to the stall at the side of the cabin. He went to help unload the wide bundles of faggots from the pony's sides and remove the saddlery and harness. Vidar was about to offer Idris food and drink when he was hugged by his brother and, "Until tomorrow. You need to be with that woman of yours." A couple of mutual shoulder slaps and Idris marched off to his family cabin at the end of the clearing.
So many times he had watched his brother walk away to the old house and had felt the pleasure of being alone again, at the edge of the forest. For some years he had been chided for preferring his own company and the whispering of the trees as he worked. But that had changed. He had met the magical Druis in the forest's grove of Lallam from where the beck leaped out of the limestone scarp. She had brought a lightness to his life. Entranced him, loved him that very first meeting and kept him company ever since. She kept their house, tended the garden and now carried their child.
Day by day, as her belly swelled, as the baby grew and moved, Druis would rest a little more and think of Vidar wandering, working, in their forest home. As Druis sorted and filtered the recent memories with those of her forebears into storytelling dreams, she could almost feel her child moving in unison with those dreams, feel the gurgling laughter of her little daughter and those fluttering footsteps over the woodland trails where the stories would lead. A secret she would love to share with Vidar. Soon.
She waited. Vidar pushed the door wide and heard the chuckling stream of laughter in his head before Druis beckoned him into her arms. As her belly pushed into him she had to lean her head back slightly for their lips to meet. She chuckled at the unbalancing position they were in and her voice mingled with the fragrant, childish laughter already in Vidar's ears and running through their pressed bodies.

A former Deutsche Bank (DBKGn.DE) managing director and a chartered accountant were found guilty in a London court on Monday in an insider dealing case brought by the Financial Conduct Authority.
Three other men were acquitted in the case at Southwark Crown Court, the FCA said in a statement.
Martyn Dodgson, who joined Deutsche Bank in 2008, was accused of passing information on upcoming deals to Andrew Hind, who is also a property developer, after sourcing it from investment banks where he worked. Hind acted as a middle man.
Their conspiracy on insider dealing took place between November 2006 and March 2010.
"This was an extraordinary and complex case of a type not prosecuted in this country before," Mark Steward, director of Enforcement and Market Oversight at the FCA, said.
Deutsche Bank, which Dodgson left in 2010, declined to comment on the case. Dodgson and Hind will be sentenced at a later date.

Hi guys. Hope all is well.
There's another concern too.
If one is to write a code in which a number would be changed into its binary equivalent, and the binary equivalent would be printed, how does one untie this knot?
int n; /* the number */
int b; /* the binary part */
printf(" Enter a number,plz :");
scanf("%d", &n);
b= m%2 /* this is the operation required */
while( b!= 0) /* this is the part where things */
{ /* become wozzy */
The loop has to continue until the b==0. How do I have the b @ every loop recorded for the final output? Or do I have to include this in the loop :
b = b%2 . I think I can include that in the loop (now that I think of it). But I still can't figure out a way to print all the b's @ every stage of the loop after the loop has ended.
Plz, do not give me the code. Just point me in the right direction.
Thx for the input.

Do you know what HDD Rescue is?
HDD Rescue has been described as harmful rogue antispyware by many major security applications and tools. This has been determined by the tactics employed by HDD Rescue to enter users' PCs, and for not living up to what it promises. HDD Rescue will try and convince users that it is capable of identifying, then quarantining and removing threats and infections. This is untrue, as HDD Rescue is an empty shell merely imitating the working of a real security product.
As a first line of assault on the user and his PC, HDD Rescue will inform him that his PC has been compromised by various fake threats. HDD Rescue will then go on to inform the user the only way to delete these threats and regain control of the PC will be to pay for an HDD Rescue license. This can actually not be any farther from the truth. Criminals are behind HDD Rescue, and users are strongly advised never to believe any correspondence received from HDD Rescue.
In an effort to minimize the damage posed by HDD Rescue, you need to take the immediate steps to successfully remove HDD Rescue from the system for good. There really is no middle ground here, HDD Rescue is harmful and needs to be eliminated.
In non techie terms:
HDD Rescue is a criminal product posing as a genuine security application. Eradicate HDD Rescue off your system in order to limit the devastation performed to your system.
Aliases: HDDRescue.

Kris Stenberg was in her house on Pleasant Road in Antrim on Friday morning when she noticed three turkeys in the field outside of her home.
She said there were two males and a female. The males had their chests puffed out real big, and they were moving around each other. They were doing a courtship dance, and it was beautiful, she said.
"All I could think of was that song, 'Shake ya Tailfeather,'" Stenberg said.
Stenberg was watching the ritual from her window when she spotted a truck parked on a nearby road.
"I thought, 'Isn't that sweet,'" Stenberg said of the person who she thought had stopped to watch.
Not long after, she realized the person in the truck was there with the intent to shoot one of the birds. In a frenzy, she called 911.
"I said, 'I think this guy is going to shoot a turkey,'" Stenberg said, which she thought was illegal because the birds were on her property.
No sooner had she peaked out of her house to grab the license-plate number then she heard a cannon-like "boom," and then the smell of sulfur.
"I was livid," she said.
Stenberg said she thought it was the person in the truck who had fired the gun, but later found out there were two men hiding in a patch of trees on her neighbor's property about 2 acres away who had popped off the shot.
She said she noticed the two after they had retrieved the bird and were moving off the property.
Antrim Police Department and NH Fish and Game responded to the call. They were dispatched to the area around 11:30 a.m.
Lt. David Walsh, who is with the state's Fish and Game in District 4, said the department was also called to the scene.
"Someone thought it was illegal activity," Walsh said on Tuesday.
He said officers caught up with the suspects in Dublin, but that the individuals had not broken any laws, and therefore were not arrested.
Walsh said people are free to hunt on private land in New Hampshire unless it is otherwise posted, and at least 300 feet from housing units. "No Hunting and No Trespassing" signs need to be posted every 100 yards on a piece of property in order for such activity to be considered illegal.
This incident did not meet any of those criteria.
Stenberg said she wasn't aware of the law.
"I'm so furious," Stenberg said. "I want people to know what the laws are because we all think because we own this land, but people can trespass."
"North Woods Law: New Hampshire," which features conservation officers in the state, was following the district's fish and game officers around on Friday when the incident happened. Stenberg said she was interviewed for the show after it happened. The clip may be aired on Animal Planet in the fall.
"They follow different crews around and highlight the job," Walsh said of the series that has aired one season, consisting of six episodes.
He said last year a camera crew followed officers from their district around for several months, and they plan to spend this summer filming in the area.
Walsh said turkey hunting season ended on May 30. The next hunting season will be for bears, which opens in September.
Stenberg said this is the second incident she has seen on her property in recent memory. She said there was a similar issue with deer hunters a couple of years ago.
Now, she said, she'll spend the time and money posting the land so that if it happens again, it will be against the law.
An earlier version of this story misstated the distance "No Hunting and No Trespassing" signs need to be posted away from one another. The article previously stated signs need to be posted 100 feet from one another, but they really need to be posted 100 yards from one another.

Buying an engagement ring can be a bit easier if you focus on the most important thing: the person who is going to be wearing the ring. Of course, this will be much easier if she is there to make the selection, a scenario that occurs more often today than in the past. However, if presenting the ring is going to be a major part of the decision, there are a few tips you can use to help you make the decision. Of course, these same ideas will be helpful if you go as a couple too.
Start with a general view of the ring you would like to see on her finger. Then immediately shift your focus to what she will be proud to wear and show to friends and family. For example, you may feel it is best to buy a massive solitaire that will cost you several thousand pounds, but she may be the kind of person who wants smaller stones in an attractive setting.
It's important to give some thought to the setting as well. The band of metal that supports the gems will have a large impact on how the stone looks. At some point in the process, you should talk with a knowledgeable representative about certification, which shows that a qualified gemmologist has evaluated the stone for colour, clarity, cut, and carat weight. When you work with a leading provider of engagement rings in Houston (or another city, for that matter), this should be a standard part of the purchase process.
When making any purchase of this significance, you should do all you can to be an educated consumer. This knowledge includes the metals that are used in most engagement rings. Gold and platinum are the most popular choices, with platinum carrying a higher price. It is more durable and may hold the stone a bit more securely as time goes on.
A few other good suggestions for buying a ring: think about insurance. Buy your ring with the idea that you may trade up at some point. Perhaps this can happen when you reach a significant anniversary such as 10, 20, 25, etc. You may want to consider creating your own design or give the experts some sketches they can work from to produce a unique ring. With the top suppliers of quality rings and diamonds, this is becoming a common option.
Not only is it becoming more common to buy an engagement ring from an online source, but the top jewellers also maintain quality sites specifically to reach outside their physical location. This has brought outstanding professionals into a broad market, which certainly benefits the buyer. You may want to begin your journey by visiting the website to see what is available. You will find some of the finest stones and settings offered anywhere with a 100% trade-up benefit on in-house diamonds.
As you shop, look for details like GIA credentials and AGS-certified diamonds. You're on the right path.

Hey 3.5 readers.
BQB here.
Great news. I'm in the serial game! Yes, add a new one to my list of ongoing projects but a catch. Here, I'm going to release a book in short bursts or episodes, building up to one long "season." TV style writing in book form. All the cool kids are doing it.
I think this will help me. Unfortunately, my daily personal life is so busy and chaotic its getting harder and harder to find time to write, but if I can get some shorter parts of a book together, written well, edited and published, then I think that will be easier than one book – not that I've stopped work on my other book projects.
So…"The Last Driver." It's the future. 2050. Frank Wylder is an old man who feels the world has passed him by. I mean, it has literally changed – into a globe dominated by a highly intrusive dictatorship.
The Globalists of the One World Order wish to retain centralized control of the planet. The Nationalist rebels of the National Front want to split the Earth back into individual, petty, bickering nations once more.
Frank could care less – that is, until the rebels kidnap his granddaughter. Their demand? That Frank, who was once a badass bank heist wheelman in his youth, ride again. That's right. To save loved one's life, he'll have to take his most prized possession, an American Made Sidewinder muscle car ("Veronica") on a series of high speed missions against the One World Order.
Human drivers have gone the way of the dodo. Self-driving cars reign and no one remembers how to drive anymore – except Frank. He remembers all too well. These miracles of modern engineering, designed to transport passengers safely and efficiently with nary an accident, are no match for an old drunk with a lead foot and nothing left to loose.
Anyway, I'll be blasting Episode 1 out by the end of the year. New chapters here on the blog as quick as I can for your input.
And…isn't this the best book cover ever? The best of all the book covers I've purchased for books I have yet to print thus far:

A total of 640 deer were tested for chronic wasting disease (CWD) during the 2014-2015 seasons, and 10 of those were confirmed positive. Samples were obtained from deer killed by hunters in southcentral and southwest parts of Kansas and from sick and/or suspect deer observed in the eastern, northcentral and northwest parts of the state.
Kansas Wildlife, Parks & Tourism officials say the 10 confirmed positives included two mule deer, one from Rawlins County and one from Scott County; and eight whitetails including two from Decatur County and one from each of the following counties, Norton, Meade, Hodgeman, Pawnee, Kearny, and Gray.
CWD testing began in 1996 to help track the occurrence of CWD in the state's wild deer, and nearly 25,000 tissue samples have undergone lab analysis since. The first CWD occurrence documented in a wild Kansas deer was a whitetail doe killed by a hunter in 2005 in Cheyenne County. Seventy-four deer have tested positive since testing began, and most have occurred in northwest Kansas, specifically Decatur, Rawlins, Sheridan and Norton counties.
Although research is underway, there is currently no vaccine or other biological method of preventing CWD. The only tool is to prevent the spread of CWD to new areas. Once the infective particle (an abnormal prion) is deposited into the environment – either through an infected carcass or from a live animal – it may exist for a decade or more, capable of infecting a healthy deer.
Despite the recent occurrences, the likelihood of finding CWD in a wild deer harvested in Kansas is small. That small likelihood decreases even more the farther from northwestern Kansas the deer live. In recent years, numerous cases of CWD have been documented in neighboring areas of Colorado, Nebraska and Wyoming.
While CWD is fatal to infected deer and elk, humans have never been known to contract the disease. CWD is a member of the group of diseases called transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs). Other diseases in this group include scrapie in sheep and goats, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE or mad cow disease) in cattle, and Cruetzfeldt-Jacob disease in people.
CWD is a progressive, fatal disease that results in small holes developing in the brain, giving it a sponge-like appearance under the microscope. Decreased brain function causes the animal to display neurological signs such as depression, droopy head, staggering, loss of appetite, and a lack of response to people. The continuing deterioration of the brain leads to other signs such as weight loss, drooling, rough coat, and excessive thirst. Caution is advised because of unknown factors associated with prion diseases, but no human health risks have been discovered where CWD occurs. Any sick deer or elk with signs listed above or exhibiting behaviors such as stumbling, holding the head at an odd angle, walking in circles, entangled in fences or staying near farm buildings for extended periods of time should be reported to the nearest KDWPT office or the Emporia Research Office, 620-342-0658.
Hunters can help protect the health of the Kansas deer herd and slow CWD's spread by not introducing the disease to new areas in Kansas through disposal of deer carcass waste. Avoid transporting a deer carcass from the area where it was taken, especially from areas where CWD has been detected. If the carcass is transported, dispose of carcass waste by double-bagging it and taking it to a landfill. Landowners can also bury carcasses on their own property.
The Chronic Wasting Disease Alliance maintains an online clearinghouse of information about the disease. More information is also available at www.ksoutdoors.com.

List of potential players in college basketball scandal continues to grow
This is how it starts.
An ESPN.com report from Jeff Borzello, dated Oct. 7, indicates that five-star, Class of 2018 prospect Jahvon Quinerly, who currently is committed to Arizona, has hired a lawyer in response to the FBI investigation into corruption in college basketball.
According to Borzello, Quinerly, who was briefly recruited by Kansas — KU offered Quinerly a scholarship in August of 2016 and continued to recruit him through April of 2017 — has not been contacted by federal agents and it is important to note that there was nothing in the FBI's initial findings directly linking the five-star point guard to any wrong-doing.
But the mere fact that he and his family feel the need to hire legal representation shows you, yet again, just how serious this thing could get.
Picture this: Here's a young man on the brink of his senior season of high school basketball who just committed to Arizona after being wooed by some of the biggest and baddest college basketball programs in the land. Quinerly should be having the time of his life. Instead, he has hired a lawyer and is reading things with his name attached to them that reference the potential for him to miss some or even all of his freshman season of college ball if there's even so much as the smallest link between him and the corruption that already took down Arizona assistant coach Book Richardson.
Talk about scary times.
According to Borzello's report, Quinerly was recruited by Richardson, one of four assistants at four schools who were named in the initial findings, and investigation documents allege that a $15,000 bribe was paid by Richardson to "Player-5," who "verbally committed to attending" Arizona "on or about August 9, 2017."
According to 247 Sports, Quinerly committed to Arizona on Aug. 8.
For now, there is nothing concrete about Quinerly's involvement in any of this. But the simple act of putting two and two together sure makes it look like there could be something there.
And if there is, you can add another party to the long list of players who have the potential to blow this thing wide open, a list that now includes federal investigators, high school recruits, current college players, former college players, head coaches, assistant coaches, fired coaches, administrators, parents, shoe company executives and more.
I mean, Quinerly might be the absolute best young man in America, but if the feds are able to prove he was involved in this corruption, it's not hard to imagine the New Jersey point guard sharing everything he knows, good and bad, with eager investigators.
A New York Post report from Sept. 30 tells the story of a father of an unnamed former Louisville standout who claims his son was offered $100,000 "by someone from a rival of Louisville's," during his recruitment.
While the identity of that Louisville "rival" certainly is intriguing, it's hardly the most important part of the story. What is is the fact that this kind of behavior has been going on for some time now (big surprise, right?) and more and more people are slowly starting to tell their stories.
In the New York Post story, the father also claims that "while Adidas had no impact on my son's decision to go to Louisville, other kids he played with in AAU were definitely led by sneaker companies. I saw it all the time. Their influence runs very deep — especially with families that don't have means."
With Twitter messages from national college basketball reporters and even the likes of college hoops guru Dick Vitale starting to surface about the likelihood that more names soon will be implicated in the scandal that could change college basketball forever, it appears as if this story is likely to get more intense as the days go by.

Thanks for linking the bits of info out there.
Joe Joseph 11 months, 2 weeks ago
Man. Jaybate was all over this sneaker garbage YEARS ago.
Brett McCabe 11 months, 2 weeks ago
The entire sport is being dragged down so that 10 or 20 elite players each year can attend school for four months, get national tv exposure and then get ready for the draft.
Adopt the three-year hit for every scholarship given, and the OAD crowd will find another venue for their talents, probably a better venue, where they can take the money above the table.
Joe Black 11 months, 2 weeks ago
I agree. Turn college basketball back into college basketball not the minor leagues for the NBA.
Craig Carson 11 months, 2 weeks ago
@Joe..turn college basketball back into college" ??!!what do you think the NCAA has ALWAYS been for the NFL and NBA??? you act like the NFL and NBA only started plucking players out of college??? colleges are nothing BUT minor leagues for EVERY employer..you arent making any sense with your demands
Bob Forer 11 months, 2 weeks ago
Nonsense. Regardless of OAD, college basketball is corrupt to the core
Suzi Marshall 11 months, 2 weeks ago
So long as you have scum bags like Pitino leading collegiate programs it will be corrupt to the core.
Craig Carson 11 months, 2 weeks ago
those OAD do have another way..its called Europe!!! the rule is an age rule, not a "force you into college for a year" rule..im sorry but, the NBA owners want the OAD rule..and since the NBA is a private employer, they have the right to set the standards for application..so if they feel their league benefits from players going to college or Europe for a year so they can better evaluate them before forking over millions, then the OAD rule is here to stay...so just get over it
Jack Joiner 11 months, 2 weeks ago
Get the OAD's out!
Robin Smith 11 months, 2 weeks ago
15,000... that's about 1 year's earnings at minimum wage.
Andy Godwin 11 months, 2 weeks ago
Families with limited means are in some cases hoping/depending on their sons doing well enough in college to get a pro contract. The latter is somewhat easier given the number of opportunities outside just the NBA. However those deals won't ever approach, say an Embiid recent contract of a life changing $148 million 5 year deal. For some, even $15,000 can make an impact. It is past time to let those that can bypass college jump to the next level, and then have college administrators with the NCAA revisit the level of stipends across all student athlete.
Craig Carson 11 months, 2 weeks ago
except you forget one thing...the NBA WANTS the OAD rule..they are the employers..and if they feel it benefits the league for kids to gain another year of maturity and another year of evaluation before they fork out millions, then the rule isnt going anywhere..better get used to it...the rule is about age, not forcing kids into college..they have the option of going to Europe AND getting paid to play there
Andrew Whitehead 11 months, 2 weeks ago
Craig is right, the OAD issue is a byproduct of the NBA's minimum age requirement. And since this is still somewhat of a free country, employers retain the right to maintain qualifications or any other requirement they want in order to hire someone. As much as I hate the consequences for college basketball, it's the price of freedom.
Hopefully the NCAA and the heavy hitters in college basketball can convince the NBA to raise the age limit another year (which would change OAD to Two-and-done), or better. I think even having a 2-year stint in college for these guys would dramatically improve the college game and serve the young players well on many fronts.
Jim Stauffer 11 months, 2 weeks ago
The way to get the OAD's out is for coaches to ignore them and recruit the best players you can to develop over 4 years. A program like Kansas could have a lot of guys on the level of Devonte, Svi and others and still be very competitive each year.
Now they would not win 14 straight and would only rarely go to the Final Four, but they would all be Jayhawks and our coaches would not be in jail.
Craig Carson 11 months, 2 weeks ago
and they could also have top level NBA talent to infuse with those Masons, Grahams and Svi's....you really think the KU fan base would accept a FF appearance "rarely" like one every 15 years, or even a FF caliber team once every 15 years?? you are f*g crazy..dont let your paranoid mind make you think EVERY or even most top players are being paid
Humpy Helsel 11 months, 2 weeks ago
Does anyone think there hasn't been a closed door private meeting between Coach and his assistants which goes something like, "OK, let's have it. Are we all clean here?" If I was the KU chancellor, I'd have our University attorney (or a privately hired one) over there asking the same thing. You can hide things from the NCAA, but don't lie or hide stuff in a federal investigation like this one. It won't just be "what did we do or not do." It will be "what do you know, what have your heard, what are their names, and when did it occur." Coming completely clean in a deal like this one is your best friend. This environment has been so corrupt for so long it will be like shooting fish in a barrel for these investigators.

In today's increasingly difficult economic climate, the subject of personal finance has taken on an unprecedented level of importance. A great way to reclaim control of your financial life is to acquire a healthy amount of specialized knowledge. Put the ideas and guidance in this piece to work, and you will soon start to see real results.
Try to use credit cards for things that you need instead of things you want and that will help prevent you from going into debt. If there is something you would like and you cannot afford it now, save up the money so that you can get it another time.
Consider driving a used car instead of borrowing money to buy a new car. If you buy a new car, you will be paying a lot of interest. It is not worth the interest for the amount of money you will be losing on the value of the vehicle as soon as it leaves the lot!
Join an online forum for people who are trying to improve their personal finances. By spending time with others who have the same goals as you do, you will be able to get support for the times when you aren't sure what to do or when you have tough decisions to make.
A great personal finance tip is to make sure you're not being underpaid at the job you're working at. A lot of people are way overqualified for the job they're working at and could be potentially making much more money. Know your market worth so that you can get the best job.
Personal Loan
If you find yourself in need of a personal loan, but are faced with banks that are generally unwilling to make them, you should gather documents that prove that you are a low-risk credit consumer. This can include favorable payment records on car loans or credit card companies, as well as paycheck stubs from a stable employer.
Cash Loans
If you find yourself in an emergency, stay away from "quick cash loans." These loans are easy to get, but you will end up paying back a ridiculous amount because of high interest rates. Instead, borrow money from family members or friends. You should also start saving up money for this kind of situations.
Cash Advance
Regardless of how tempting they may seem, do not borrow any money from a cash advance lender. While it might solve your problem on a temporary basis, many times they lead you deeper into debt. The interest rates they charge make the transactions more of a pain than a pleasure.
The financial crisis of recent years has forced many people to concentrate more heavily on the topic of personal finance. Many find that the best method of ensuring a sound financial future is to gain a real understanding of what they should and should not be doing when it comes to money. Keep these tips close at hand, and you will have the power to positively shape your situation for years to come.

A Florida woman's unsuccessful car sex romp put her in a bad position.
Wendy Luper, 45, was arrested after fighting her ex-husband on what sex position to be in, according to court records published by The Smoking Gun. She is charged with domestic battery for the sexual dispute, police said.
|Florida woman attacks ex-lover after fight over sex position: Affidavit
Wendy Luper attacked her ex-husband after she didn't want to lay on her back for him during sex, court records showed.
He gladly obliged, and asked his ex-wife to lay down. She refused to have sex on her back, and the scolded ex-husband didn't want to have sex in any other position, court documents showed.
The two ex-lovers started arguing, and Vaccaro walked away. When he came back, Luper told him to get his stuff out of her car and chucked an object at him, cutting his forehead open. He fell back from the hit, and Luper yelled at him to "f--- off." She then ran over his right foot while he was half-way in the car, according to her affidavit.
When cops arrived, the sexually frustrated ex-wife denied the attack, and told police Vaccaro wanted to have sex with her.
The couple was married for 12 years before their divorce, and re-united six months ago, records showed. Luper works as a housekeeper and was arrested in August after punching Vaccaro in the face, neck and arm after he didn't want to do the laundry.
She was released after posting a $750 bond, and will appear in court on Dec. 17.

Whole school year forming mass brass band
A whole school year is aiming to blow away family and friends by forming a mass brass band at a Swansea comprehensive.
All 110 pupils in Year 7 at Dylan Thomas Community School have started to learn to play an instrument.
Under an ambitious challenge set by the council's Swansea Music Unit, the aim is to have them all hitting the high notes by the end of term when every single one of them will take part in a public concert.
The aim of the project, called BandAlong, is to give every youngster in the year a chance to have a go at learning an instrument.
It is hoped those that enjoy it will be inspired to continue.
But all being well all 110 youngsters will play a part in two end of term concerts planned for late June.
They are now starting to get to grips with how to play the trumpet, trombone, horn and other instruments.
The pupils have also been asked to design a logo to promote the initiative and the winner will be announced on Tuesday.
Karin Jenkins, Head of Swansea Music Unit, said: "It's going to be quite a challenge both for the pupils and our unit's music teachers but we are really looking forward to working with everyone at Dylan Thomas Community School.
"The aim is to give them all the opportunity to see if learning how to play an instrument is something they enjoy.
"We are hoping that it does inspire some of the youngsters to continue and carry on with lessons in the years to come."
The theme of the concert will be Heroes and Villains.
The concert will be broken down into four sets - with each year group playing a set.
They will then all come together at the end to play one combined item.
Ms Jenkins added: "We are aiming to stage two performances in late June. Final details will be announced closer to the time.
"If it is a success it's something we'll look at repeating next year."
Mr Rob Phillips, Headteacher said: "Band Along is a challenging but exciting project for our Year 7 pupils - a wonderful opportunity for the whole year group to learn how to play a musical instrument.
"Having seen the fantastic progress they are making after only a short time, the concert at the end of June is an exciting prospect.
"We are confident that this will be a successful and enjoyable experience for our pupils, building on the strong musical culture within our school."
