How to buy a car with bad credit – Getting A Car Loan MN
However the situation arises, bad credit* does not necessarily signal the end of the road for car shoppers. In fact, the good news is that there are many qualified buyers with poor credit who are taking the wheel with the help of financing. And they can enjoy a lot of the same conveniences as buyers with better credit, such as preapproval. Every car shopper's position is different, and planning your car-buying process may help you understand what's right for your situation, and how best to achieve it. Here's how to approach car loans when you have bad credit.
Be sure to do your research – Minnesota
You might already have an idea of the car you want to buy, but the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) recommends taking a look at your financial circumstances, including credit history, budget and what you can afford, before shopping for a vehicle.
Credit scores and credit reports – Getting A Car Loan MN
Lenders take a range of factors into account when considering an auto loan application from a consumer with bad credit, and most will make a decision based in part on credit score. Although it is not the sole factor, your score plays a key role in determining whether your application will be approved, and, if so, what interest rate you will get, says the bureau. Credit score is an indicator of someone's creditworthiness, partly influenced by their credit experiences, which are compiled in credit reports. The CFPB advocates getting hold of a copy of your credit report from the national reporting agencies to check for inaccuracies. Details of how to request reports are available at its website.

As you can see, your credit rating can drastically alter the APR on any approved auto loan, either increasing or decreasing your monthly cost and lifetime interest payment.
What Should I Do Before Buying A car With Bad Credit?
1. Work on your credit before going car shopping.
3. Check current interest rates before buying a car with bad credit.
4. Make a bigger down payment.

WESTON, CT. Jan 2, 2013 — After a 12-month conservation and management study of its popular 1,009-acre Trout Brook Valley Conservation Area, Aspetuck Land Trust is announcing new trail use policies that it says carefully balance the protection of one of the region's most important ecological areas with the use of the preserve for hiking, dog-walking and other passive recreation.
The year-long study by Connecticut Audubon Society's conservation services staff working under contract for the Aspetuck Land Trust was designed to better identify the wildlife and ecologically fragile areas within the preserve. This will enable the Land Trust to make more informed decisions about managing the property for both conservation and public use purposes.
Trout Brook Valley was destined to become a private golf and country club enclave dotted with 103 luxury homes. In 1999, Aspetuck Land Trust led a coalition of local groups including the state of Connecticut and the Nature Conservancy to acquire the land and incorporate it into two preserves it owned to the north and south. This created what is now called the Trout Brook Valley Conservation Area, one of the largest blocks of undeveloped land in Fairfield County.
"It's our responsibility to manage and preserve Trout Brook Valley for future generations, and we now have a plan to do this based upon the scientific findings in this report. Our next step is to better educate the public about this unique and important natural resource," said David Brant, Executive Director of Aspetuck Land Trust.
The study, which concluded in November and required an interim ban on all off leash dog walking during its duration, identified a remarkable inventory of species and their habitats in the Trout Brook Valley Conservation Area. Connecticut Audubon Society's conservation biologists spent hundreds of hours over four seasons performing fieldwork at the preserve and analyzing data. They conducted surveys of birds and amphibians, which both are indicators of ecological health, and assessed the habitat quality and ecological functions of the preserve. The report also recommended strategies to help protect the flora and fauna that make the environment so rich and beautiful.
"First-rate conservation science is the foundation of any good conservation management plan," said Robert Martinez, president of Connecticut Audubon Society. "We're confident that we provided Aspetuck Land Trust with the information and analysis they needed, and their decision reflects a good balance between ecological protection and passive recreation."
The preserve encompasses mixed hardwood forest, forested wetlands and scrub-shrub wetlands, seasonal pools, early successional fields, grasslands and orchard, numerous brooks and streams, and talus slopes.
Native Brook Trout and American Eel live in the preserve's streams. Its wetlands support an array of reptiles and amphibians, including Spotted Salamanders, Marbled Salamanders and the state-listed Jefferson's Salamander. The bird populations are abundant and diverse, and include 156 species and numerous species of conservation concern including 21 state-listed species.
The new policies will go into effect April 1, 2013, affecting the existing 21-mile trail system at Trout Brook Valley used by hikers, mountain bikers, equestrians, dog walkers, birders, and others who enjoy the preserve. Until that time, dogs must be leashed at all times throughout the preserve to allow Aspetuck Land Trust time to make trail and signage modifications and to better protect the environment and preserve the abundant but fragile wildlife diversity that exists. Aspetuck Land Trust allows off-leash dog walking on all of its other 41 nature preserves with the exception of the Newman Poses preserve in Westport where dogs must be leashed.
Beginning April 1, dogs will be required to be leashed throughout the property under their owners control and to remain on designated trails at all times to better protect the environment and preserve the abundant but fragile wildlife diversity that exists. Off-leash dog walking will be allowed, however, on a two mile trail loop in the Crow Hill section of Trout Brook Valley on what is now the Blue/White and Teal trails and will be accessible by four public parking areas.
Hundreds of dogs can visit Trout Brook Valley on a busy weekend. The cumulative impact when dogs go off trail can be harmful, according to the Connecticut Audubon Society's research. The Crow Hill section of Trout Brook Valley was designated for off leash dog walking partly because it has no vernal pools which are particularly delicate environments.
Other measures approved by ALT's board of directors included:
- Posting signs prohibiting horses and mountain bikes (except for July, August and September) at both ends of the Red/Black trail in order to protect local habitats;
- Closing the yellow trail to all uses except foot traffic, posting no dogs, horses or mountain bikes at both ends of the trail;
- Closing small section of orange trail that bisects a tributary stream and a vernal pool.

Temple of Moonlight
What you are seeing is a vertical panorama of moonset through the famous Pfeiffer Beach archway in Big Sur. The moon was fairly dim during this phase (18% or so) giving slight visibility to the Milky Way overhead. As the moon dipped down closer to the horizon the Galaxy became visible enough to even see some subtle nebula colors. The panorama consists of about 5 shots overlapping starting from almost completely overhead all the way facing down at some rocks near the tripod legs.

Buoyancy-Driven μPCR for DNA Amplification
Ahsan Munir February 26, 2014
DNA is a complex molecule that contains instructions for life and often referred to as a "digital fingerprint" or code telling a cell what to do. DNA is often the only means for accurate testing and identification of biomolecules, cells, or even an entire person during forensic investigations. The need to be able to test for DNA, as quickly as possible, and even at the site where the sample is taken, is becoming more and more important.Read More

House committee votes to end FHA Short Refi program
The House Financial Services Committee voted Thursday to end two new programs that would provide assistance to troubled homeowners. If passed, one bill will end the Federal Housing Administration's Short Refi program, which assists underwater homeowners with new FHA-insured loans. Just Wednesday, FHA Commissioner David Stevens said 23 lenders have signed up to participate in the Short Refi program. The other bill would end the Emergency Homeowner Loan Program. Through it, the Department of Housing and Urban Development provides mortgage assistance to unemployed borrowers in the form of 0% interest loans for up to $50,000. Both programs are relatively new. The FHA Short Refi program launched in September, and the EHLP wasn't set to accept applications until sometime this spring. Both bills that propose ending these programs are expected to reach the House floor next week. Rep. Judy Biggert (R-Ill.) co-sponsored both bills passed by the committee Thursday. "A government program that spends more to save a single borrower than it costs to buy a home is no help at all – it's just a waste of taxpayer money," Biggert said. "We need to stop funding programs that don't work with money we don't have." Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) helped HUD develop both the NSP and the EHLP program . "I am very disappointed in my colleagues on the opposite side of the aisle, who in their mania to achieve fiscal austerity at all costs, moved to cut two nascent programs designed to really help struggling homeowners," Waters said. The committee heard testimony Wednesday on whether or not it should continue funding billions of dollars in help through several initiatives, including the Home Affordable Modification Program and the Neighborhood Stabilization Program. The House committee will hold a vote on discontinuing those programs next week. Write to Jon Prior. Follow him on Twitter: @JonAPrior

Lincoln Memorial University (LMU) and the Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum (ALLM) will welcome some of the nation's top bluegrass artists for a special benefit music event at the Sam and Sue Mars Performing Arts Center of the Duke Hall of Citizenship on Friday, February 22.
The historic concert will celebrate the February 12 release of Rural Rhythm Records' "God Didn't Choose Sides: Civil War True Stories about Real People" album that coincides with the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth. The concert and CD features some of today's top artists including: Steve Gulley, Dale Ann Bradley, Marty Raybon, Carrie Hassler, Brad Gulley, Tim Stafford, Rickey Wasson , Dwight McCall, Dave Adkins, and the Gap Creek Quartet. Supporting musicians include: Sierra Hull (mandolin), Jason Burleson (banjo), Brandon Godman (fiddle), Phil Leadbetter (dobro), Bryan Turner (bass) and Debbie Gulley (vocals). Mark "Brink" Brinkman will also provide a special songwriter segment.
The proceeds from the concert will benefit the ALLM and help fund a documentary on the project that is currently under development. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show will begin at 7 p.m. Two ticket options are available. A VIP experience includes a reception at the LMU President's House before the concert, a copy of the CD, VIP seats at the show and a meet and greet with the musicians after the show. VIP tickets are available for $100. General admission tickets are $35. Tickets can be purchased online at http://Alumni.lmunet.edu/concert.
The album, "God Didn't Choose Sides: Civil War True Stories about Real People," includes 12 original songs inspired by journals, stories and artifacts from soldiers, civilians and politicians during the Civil War. Also included on the recording is the traditional song "There is a Fountain" performed by the Gap Creek Quartet. It's a collection of songs that focus on the common men and women who were thrown together into the realities and horrors of war; people who displayed amazing acts of kindness, selflessness, faith, love and brotherhood. All but one track, "Legend of Jennie Wade", on album were recorded, at least in part, at Steve Gulley's The Curve Studio in Cumberland Gap, Tenn.
Accompanying the music is an extensive 16-page booklet filled with historical notes, photographs and lyrics. LMU and ALLM archivist Michelle Ganz provided historical content supervision and materials from the ALLM collection. Additional assistance was provided by ALLM Program and Tourism Director Carol Campbell and the historical booklet notes were provided by Jamie Lynn Brinkman.
Rural Rhythm Records has set up a dedicated site for the album that includes interviews, additional content relating to the history behind the songs, songwriters, performing artists and musicians. Visit RuralRhythm.com for more information.
The Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum is located on the historic campus of Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, Tennessee. Housing one of the top five Lincoln and Civil War private collections in the world, the Museum is open Monday-Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. For more information about this and other programs at the Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum, call 423-869-6235.

Three goals for the 2012-13 year and the unveiling of plaques to honor lifetime members and distinguished members of the Wood County Texas Genealogical Society were announced at a special June meeting this week.
Goals announced by President Ronnie Vance are (1) more programs on county history including but not limited to community histories and member presentations on their families from those areas, (2) more service to researchers using resources of the Genealogical Research Room at the Quitman Public Library and to help community members with their genealogical research, and (3) involving more members in those help activities including how to help researchers and resources available in the local library including some staffing possibilities with volunteer members.
President Vance displayed plaques to members and recognized new honorees. The award for Lifetime Member was made to Mark Reid, past president and vice-president as well as webmaster, researcher, and author of articles for society publications. Other lifetime members previously announced are Miriam Dougherty and Shirley Bates.
Distinguished Service honorees among current membership recognized were Dorothy Harbin, past president and vice-president and currently Requisitions and Acquisitions Co-chairperson; Deason Hunt, past treasurer and currently newsletter editor and webmaster and Editorial Committee Chairperson, and Nita Munoz, past vice-president and secretary. Former members receiving the Distinguished Service recognition are Lyrline Avery, Faye Boucher, Lahoma Clanton, Edith Tedder, Ida Marie Turner, and Adele Vickery.
Members in attendance at the meeting enjoyed a light, finger foods meal, social and visiting time, and an informal discussion of items of interest and importance to the society.

Jets coach Rex Ryan will start Mark Sanchez over Tim Tebow Sunday, snubbing Tebow for the second time this year.
When Ryan explained the decision to the media, he said something that gets to the core of how many NFL decisions are made, and explains why the league is generally averse to trying new things.
Here's what he told Manish Mehta of the NY Daily News:
"When you look at it with the situation the way it is, it's a short window to get the preparation time in. I just think it's best for our football team. That doesn't mean that Tim won't play in this game, but I'm just more comfortable starting Mark."
The Jets are starting Sanchez because they're comfortable with him. He's familiar. He's known.
In the NFL, coaches place great value in known commodities. There's always a bias toward selecting the more familiar of two options. That's why coaches punt on fourth down when the math says they should go for it. That's why they run fullback dives up the middle on 3rd and 2 even though everyone knows it's coming. And that's why they play traditional quarterbacks over non-traditional quarterbacks, even if the traditional QB is bad.
Mark Sanchez has been one of the four worst quarterbacks in the NFL this year. He's 33rd out of 34 in passer rating, 32rd in completion percentage, 31st in yards per attempt, and 3rd in interceptions.
It's absolutely not all his fault (just look at that roster). Still though, it's clear that he's just not very good for this team right now. And there's really no rational justification for starting him.
But Sanchez is familiar — Ryan knows that he's the 30th-34th best quarterback in football. He doesn't know what Tebow is, and in addition to that, Tebow's skillset is such that you need to play a unique and different style (like Denver did last year) for him to be effective.
Tebow is viewed as a risk because you don't have an idea of how good or bad he's going to be. You know how bad Sanchez is. So in the twisted logic of NFL conservatism, you play Sanchez because you know what you're getting.
And this is not limited just to quarterbacks.
Over the last 10 years, every level of football has been adopted the offensive principles of the spread offense, except the NFL. High school and college football have evolved dramatically, but the NFL has managed to stay more or less the same.
Only this year did the NFL world accept that it's okay for RGIII to run the read-option, and only this year did the Patriots really start running bits of a fast-paced offense that college teams have been running for years.
And ultimately the notion of "comfort" that Rex Ryan talked about is at the core of that.
Once something new starts working in the NFL, almost every team almost immediately accepts it (see: wildcat). But a coach introducing something new into the NFL game is rare — the bias against the unknown is just too strong.

What I Hate About Python
Posted Tuesday, January 14, 2014, at 1:51AM
During an interview a while back, I was asked to name some things I hate about Python. For some reason, I choked and couldn't think of a good answer (I kind of wanted to blame the interview process, but that's a rant for another time).
Maybe I've just been programming in Python for too long, and that's why I couldn't think of something (or maybe I'm just a massive Python fanboy). On the other hand, I've been programming in JavaScript (which I generally like) for about as long, and I can think of at least a few things right off the top of my head (mostly related to weak typing).
I did a search to see what other people don't like about Python to get some inspiration, but I didn't come across anything I truly hate.
Things That Don't Bother Me
- Significant whitespace. I love it.
- Explicit
self. I guess it would be "convenient" if I didn't have to add
selfto every method signature, but I really don't spend much time on that, and it takes about 1ns to type (in fact, my IDE fills it in for me). There are technical and stylistic considerations here, but the upshot for me is that it just doesn't matter, and I actually like that all instance attribute access requires the
- "Crippled"
lambda. There are rare occasions where I want to define more complex anonymous functions, but there's no loss of expressiveness from having to use a "regular" named function instead. Maybe multi-line anonymous functions that allow statements would lead to different/better ways of thinking about programs, but I'm not particularly convinced of that. (Aside: one thing I do hate relating to this is the conflation of
lambdas and closures–normal functions are closures in the same way that lambdas are.)
- Packaging. I don't know why, but I've never had any problems with setuptools. There are some issues with the installation of eggs when using
easy_install, but I think
pipfixes them. I am glad that setuptools is now being actively developed again and the distribute fork is no longer necessary.
- Performance, GIL, etc. I've used Python for some pretty serious data crunching (hello,
multiprocessing) as well as for Web stuff. There are cases where something else might have been faster, but Python has almost never been too slow (caveat: for my use cases). Of course, Python isn't suitable for some things, but for most of the things I need to do, it's plenty fast enough.
len(), et al. I don't have anything to say about this other than it's a complete non-issue for me. Commentary about how this means Python isn't purely object-oriented makes me a little cranky.
Things That Bug Me a Little Bit
- The way
superworks in Python 2 is kind of annoying (being required to pass the class and self in the
super()call). This is fixed in Python 3, where you can just say
super().method()in the common case.
- Unicode vs bytes in Python 2. This is also fixed in Python 3 (some people have argued that it's not, but I haven't run into any issues with it yet (maybe it's because I'm working on a Python 3 only project?)).
- The implicit namespace package support added in Python 3.3 causes some trouble for my IDE (PyCharm), but I'm assuming this is a temporary problem. I also had some trouble using nose and py.test with namespace packages. Again, I assume (hope) this is only temporary.
Things That Bother Me a Little More
- The Python 2⁄3 gap is a bit troublesome. Sometimes I think the perception that there's a problem may be more of a problem, but I don't maintain any major open source projects, so I'm not qualified to say much about this. Personally, I've really been enjoying Python 3, and I do think it offers some worthwhile advantages over Python 2.
There isn't one. I left some things out intentionally (various quirks). I probably forgot some things too.

Good Tina
"I'm working on my mating list for when we have to repopulate the world." – Tina Belcher
I just wanted to talk about how much I love Tina Belcher, the unsung hero of the fantastic TV show "Bob's Burgers," and the character who, against all odds. I most want to be like of anybody in the show.
Tina, the oldest of three Belcher children, is by far the shyest, least publicly confident, and most socially-awkward of the whole Belcher clan. Just look at her natural response to being put on the spot:
But hey, plenty of us are massive introverts like Tina is. I'm one of them. The mere thought of public speaking, although I know I can do it, makes my heart race and my sweat glands open up like the Dutch boy removing his finger from the hole in the dyke. But despite her fear of being publicly shamed, I can't think of a TV character who is more internally confident about who she is and what she wants. She has immense pride in her obsessions with horses, sexy zombies, rainbows, erotic friend fiction, and most of all, her crush on her the son of her father's nemesis, Jimmy Jr., and she doesn't seem to mind what people think of them.
In a really vague and roundabout way, I can relate to Tina (yeah, kind of weird that the TV character I most relate to is a 14 year-old girl, but fittingly enough she does happen to be voiced by a man who's not a heck of a lot older than I am). I have a multitude of interests of which I am proud, and I know how smart and knowledgeable I am about many things, but these things don't help me much when the spotlight finds me. Yet, both Tina and I can overcome this apprehension with flying colors when most needed.
Just to reiterate, I love and admire the hell out of Tina Belcher. Her staunch pride in who she is and what she likes is a highly positive trait, and I think for that reason, she's not only someone I admire, but someone that in a weird way should be looked up to by real-life teenagers.
Because let's be honest: in our own way, we're all just as weird as Tina is, but we all could learn a lesson or two about the importance of embracing our weirdness with as much love and pride as Tina does.
"Everyone touched each other's butt. And it was great." – Tina Belcher
