By Lee Hyo-won
K-pop is all the rage as the media has taken notice of fan bases in Europe and beyond, and a new movie will focus on the making of an idol band.
The press junket for "Mr. Idol" (working title) was held in Seoul last week, ahead of a fan meeting in Busan this weekend during the course of the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF). The country's largest cinema event kicked off Thursday and continues through Oct. 16.
Ra Hee-chan, who won critical and popular acclaim with 2007's "Going by the Book", directed the project.
"It's a movie that captures young people's dreams through music", Ra told reporters. He said the film required a lot of brainstorming to present not only a story and characters but also many musical and performance sequences.
As much as the film features singing and dancing, it stars vocalists-turned-actors including Jay Park, the former leader of top band 2PM.
Park plays one of the four lead characters who come from different walks of life to form an idol band, united by their love of music.
The movie portrays the rigorous training process of the young men, who are musically talented but are far from mass-produced pop material. They nevertheless manage to make a successful debut as Mister Children but a powerful figure in the music industry, played by funnyman Kim Soo-ro, tries to interfere with their rise to superstardom.
Park said he learned a lot about the movie-making process while playing a charismatic singer with a flair for dance.
"I learned many things, about cinema, acting, how to prepare lines and how to act when you don't have lines, among many things. But it's still very difficult to suppress laughter", he said.
The cast features another singer, 1kyne, or 1Kyne of Electroboyz. He plays the role of a Korean adoptee who agrees to debut as a singer in Korea in order to search for his birth mother.
"My character learns the Korean language through rap", said Kim, who himself was cast as a singer when he was spotted rapping at a bowling place in Texas.
Jang Seo-won, on the other hand, was the only actor without a singing background.
"I was the only member of the cast who actually had to act out the role of an idol", he said.
"During break time, Randy would practice rapping, Jay would dance endlessly while Ji Hyun-woo played the guitar".
Popular actor Ji Hyun-woo shared how his past experience as a rock band member affected his role. He plays a passionate singer who only joins the idol group because the talent agency head (played by Ye Ji-won) promises to help him start what he really wants, a rock band. Ji, who had been a guitarist, said his view of pop idols changed as he worked on the film.
"I was in a rock band and I have to admit that I tended to look down on idol singers, particularly since they usually don't perform live and lip sync", Ji said.
"While instrumentalists just need to focus on their part in a given performance, idols need to practice singing and dancing and also watch their diet and work out all day long... Through this movie I have developed great admiration for idols".
The cast members' fan meeting will take place Saturday at Lotte Cinema Busan, ahead of the film's release. A Cinergy/Lotte Entertainment release, "Mr. Idol" is slated to open on October, 27.

Rural Community Network has supported and developed the role of the Rural Residents' Forum (RRF) in supporting rural tenants and residents to scrutinise housing issues from a rural perspective.
The Forum represents residents from rural housing estates across rural NI and membership is drawn from representatives across all six counties in NI and is supported by NIHE's Rural Unit, Rural Community Network, and is attended by Supporting Communities NI.
The group has actively engaged with NIHE staff over key issues such as DSD's Social Housing Reform Programme consultation and NIHE's Community Involvement Strategy.
The Forum is a place for residents to share good practice, share experiences of their representation of their areas on various committees and to discuss issues common to rural residents across the region. The residents have a keen interest in working to ensure all rural residents have access to information, advice and support. Issues which have been discussed range from concerns over the reform of local government, anti-social behaviour, digital outreach programmes and access to advice and support in health, benefits uptake and housing related matters. Many of the representatives are key volunteers within their own areas and they bring a high level of skill and expertise to this Forum.
RCN is committed to supporting local people to avail of opportunities to get involved with a Forum such as this one, and we provide training and support to help individuals to feel comfortable in being a part of the group.

Phyllis Clarke is married with four children and three grandchildren. On retiring from local government after 27 years' service due to health reasons she became heavily involved in her local community in Fivemiletown Estates Group. The Group is a committee of 12 who are all very committed and passionate about the "wee village". The Group thinks the village is sometimes isolated and forgotten about but now they have a voice. Phyllis represents Fivemiletown on HCN in Dungannon and also on the Mid-Ulster Scrutiny Panel and the Rural Residents' Forum. All of these platforms are a great way of sorting out some on the housing issues which affect our community.
Discussion is very important and she hopes that her being part of all these forums has made a difference. She feels that rural communities all over Northern Ireland have similar issues and her vision is that we are all listened too.

She was asked to join the RRF not really knowing what it was about, but has learned how valuable the group is in being able to influence the future housing situation and future schemes etc for tenants. Joining these panels can give us an opportunity through the RRF to ask and demand answers to the questions nobody seems to be able to answer.

1/3 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
pinch salt
3 level tablespoons corn starch
2 cups milk (see note below)
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups mini-marshmallows (optional)
In a large glass bowl, mix the brown sugar, cocoa, salt and corn starch. Slowly add the milk and mix well. At first the cocoa will sort of sit on top of the milk, but if you mix well with a whisk, it will mix together in a minute or so.
Microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes. Carefully remove from microwave, and stir well (again with whisk). Put it back in the microwave (one minute at a time...stirring well after each minute) until the pudding is shiny and thick. My microwave took the initial 3 minutes, then 2 more (1 minute) intervals), but everyones microwave is different, so just mix it well after each interval and when it is shiny and thick, it's done.
After pudding is thick, stir in butter and vanilla and mini-marshmallows. The heat from the pudding will melt the marshmallows, so don't stir them too much (you want them to stay whole if possible). Chill the pudding in dessert dishes.
NOTE: Marshmallows totally optional.
NOTE: Don't microwave this pudding in a plastic bowl because the plastic gets hotter than the pudding for some reason; glass is the best.

California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (CalECPA) - SB 178
Updated April 2018
About CalECPA
On Jan. 1, 2016, the landmark California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (CalECPA, SB 178) went into effect.
CalECPA has been hailed as "the nation's best privacy law." Under CalECPA, no California government entity can search our phones and no police officer can search our online accounts without going to a judge, getting our consent, or showing it is an emergency.
A diverse coalition of the state's leading technology companies, civil rights organizations and law enforcement banded together to push for the swift passage of this commonsense law that protects privacy, promotes innovation and supports public safety.
CalECPA had broad bipartisan support, jointly authored by Senator Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) and Senator Joel Anderson (R-Alpine), Principal co-author Assemblymember Gatto (D-Glendale) and co- authored by Senators Canella, Gaines, Hertzberg, Hill, McGuire, Nielsen and Roth and Assemblymembers Chiu, Gordon, Maienschein, Obernolte, Quirk, Ting, and Weber.
CalECPA serves a model for the rest of the nation for updating privacy law for the modern digital world.
Full bill language, polling, fact sheets, and more information about CalECPA can be found in related content below.

News in Brief
Clinton Gets Closer to NEA Endorsement
The National Education Association has moved a step closer to endorsing Hillary Clinton in the Democratic presidential primries, with its PAC council voting to recommend the former U.S. senator and secretary of state.
The move could add fuel to Clinton's campaign to secure the White House—and would come at a time when interest is surging in Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and in a possible run by Vice President Joe Biden.
The endorsement is not a done deal until the union's board of directors takes up the matter. But if approved, it's a sign that the 3 million-member union wants to act while its endorsement carries weight and not repeat 2008, when it rather embarrassingly didn't back anyone until after Barack Obama had already clinched the nomination.

So who is Shahrukh Khan (SRK)? Oh yes, India's superstar and a favorite among expats. He is someone, who is used to get VVIP importance at every juncture of his life. His sight makes girls scream and boys drool over much hyped six packs he used to flaunt less than a year ago. SRK belongs to a country where VIP culture reigns supreme. Here, a passenger aircraft with 200-300 odd passengers onboard is kept waiting when a big time politician or VIP is about to board the aircraft. Custom officials salute politicians or film stars or even cricketers on airports instead of checking their belongings. If you dare to frisk them, either you are fired or shunted to unknown of locations on basis of one phone call. Daredevilry is considered stupidity and is rewarded with question marks on your career growth. IAS officers are supposed to touch feet of illiterate VIPs in power and that is an established practice.
Perhaps a much bigger issue was of frisking of APJ Abdul Kalaam, the previous president of India. But that news was relegated to inner pages of the daily newspapers because the news was not likely to grab too many eyeballs. The frisking of ex-president was against protocol. But we are more concerned with detention and questioning of superstar SRK. But why do we forget that USA has different policies when it comes to safeguarding the national interests of the country. Even former vice president Al gore was frisked. But he did not make any fuss about it. Bob Dylan of 'Blowing in the wind' fame was detained by two young police officers because he was loitering around. That makes sense in a country that has been victim to terrorists and that likes to take care of its civilians.
Here, in India we do not seem to mind loss of few lives. I mean, who gives a damn about loss of few lives in a country with a population of one billion. A poorly built metro bridge is responsible for death of certain number of people but what action has been taken? The construction company was barred for certain projects and till the date no arrests have been made. A report will be submitted after an eternal waiting and it will be quickly forgotten. Or should I say, it has already been forgotten!
Yes, I agree American security officials have been slightly paranoid about checking the credentials of Muslim visitors or tourists from South-Asian region. But can you really blame them considering the painful experience they had? The surname 'Khan' does cause some problems but you can't really blame US officials for their circumspect rules and regulations. Being overly protective of your national interests is far better than being lax about your security. At least that makes sure that lives of people are not being risked because of the need of maintaining VVIP culture. Don't be a cry baby SRK! Just take it in your stride and perhaps now onwards you will be more sensible towards the plight of common citizens who daily go through such rigorous procedures and yet accept it silently!

Shares of Clearwire have been on a turbulent course in recent weeks. And the company today saw yet another double digit change — this time for the better — as it reported a jump in subscribers and revenues during the third quarter.
The Kirkland-based provider of wireless broadband now as 9.54 million total subscribers, up 240 percent from 2.81 million subscribers during the same period last year. More than eight million of those subscribers come through Clearwire's wholesale partners, including Sprint. And by the end of this year, the company said it plans to top 10 million subscribers.
As a result of the boost in subscribers, revenue increased 134 percent to $332.2 million.
In a release, CEO Erik Prusch noted that the results "demonstrate that our efforts to optimize performance are succeeding."
Meanwhile, the company trimmed its net loss to $84 million, down from $139 million.
In other developments, the company announced that all of the Clear 4g Internet plans now come with no long-term commitments and unlimited Internet access.
Shares of Clearwire were up 10 percent, trading at $2.04. But the company is not out of the woods yet, as it is still seeking additional funding in order to build out a high-performance LTE network.

Where Do Ants Come From?
"Home is where the ants are," is probably not something you want to begin saying every time you get home. Your home should be safe from the dangers of the outdoors, not a bed and breakfast for unwelcomed pests.
Ants tend to be some of the most common home-dwellers. The most common ant types you'll likely see marching inside your home can be Carpenter Ants, Pavement Ants, Odorous House Ants, and Thief Ants. Learning a little bit about what attracts these ants to your home will help prevent them in the future.
Carpenter Ants, Camponotus pennsylvanicus, usually arrive after a flood or leak in your home, finding residence in the moist wood. Rather than cause damage by eating the wood, Carpenter Ants excavate it to create smooth-walled, hollowed-out galleries. It can be difficult to determine if you have a Carpenter Ant nest inside your home or walls. Try using Combat baits or gels to detect if you have an infestation. Utilizing these baits will help you detect the ant path and further eliminate them from your home.
Pavement Ants, Tetramorium caespitum, come in from under concrete slabs and porches. These ants have quite the sweet-tooth and are on a mission to conquer your pantry. If there is a strong food source for the ants, they will take up residence in walls and under floor boards, until they are completely satisfied. Once an invasion occurs, the first place of notice will probably be your pantry – where the ants can be found in sugar, cookies, and candies.
Thief Ants, Solenopsis molesta, also commonly called Grease Ants, enter your home in search of high-protein foods like meats, fats, and grease. Much smaller than the average ant, Thief Ants are often misidentified as Pharaoh Ants, having the ability to squeeze through tiny spaces that often go unnoticed. The trails of these ants will be seen on walls, baseboards and in cabinets where they frequently develop colonies.
Odorous House Ants, Tapinoma sessile, are most likely to invade your home during rainy weather. Odorous House Ants travel in trails, searching day and night for sweets, grease, and various meats. They usually reside behind the walls, and under the floor, emitting a rotten odor when their bodies are crushed. Because Odorous House Ants tend to nest inside homes, they can easily contaminate human food supplies. Although they do not sting or bite, they can become persistent pests, traveling indoors in very large numbers.

"I was once afraid of people saying "Who does she think she is". Now I have the courage to stand up and say "This is who I am" – Oprah Winfrey
This thing called life can be tough, huh?
Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, life just keeps coming back at you in the guise of people and situations, obstacles and trials.
You want to be happy, you want to live in ease, you want to get along with people, without drama and conflict. Most of all, you want to live in peace yet life doesn´t seem to roll that way.
So why does life, in general, seem to have it in for you? I have a feeling that if life could give you an answer, life would say "You´re gonna be happy but, first, I´ll make you strong. Come on! You can do it! Be the girl who never backed down!".
Because that´s what life asks of you. To not back down from living. To be brave and courageous. To find your inner strength and peace in the face of chaos around you. To live your best life in the face of adversity. To dream big and worry less. To believe in yourself even when no one else does.
To go after the life you want and make it happen.
To stand up to the world and say
"This Is Who I Am.
This Is What I Feel.
These Are My Needs"
To be the woman who never backed down from life.

I'm now a certified Life Coach and guide women just like you to explore their authentic self and find their own personal freedom.

Arizona's Next Immigration Target: Children of Illegals
This piece in Time.com is about the desire to deny birthright citizenship, a right guaranteed by the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. This campaign has existed for a long time in the U.S. but proceeds now with more apparent fervor. If you read the last chapter of Gene Glass' book titled, Fertilizers, Pills & Magnetic Strips: The Fate of Public Education in America (earlier post), you get a good picture about why this is happening.

Randy Gridley - Real Estate Boise | Meridian - Home Finacing Information
Finance Information
How much home can you afford? Use our finance center to learn about your loan options below. There are several loan programs available, and depending on your credit history, there is bound to be one that is perfect for you. Here are a few examples of the most popular programs offered today:
Loan Information
It is important to decide how much of a home loan you can afford. Use the information below to make your decision about your mortgage loan. There are many finance options available to you and considering your credit history, a suitable program is bound to be available. Here is some information about the most popular loan programs offered.
Adjustable Rate Loans
The adjustable rate mortgage loan, also called ARM loans, comes with fixed rates for a short introductory period and then adjustments are made later. If you are expecting the interest rates to decrease in the future, or you are trying to increase your buying power, knowing that your income will rise in future, this type of loan is perfect for you. It is suitable for buyers who are expecting to be living in the house for a shorter period of time.
Fixed Rate Loans
Unlike the adjustable rate loans, the interest rates on fixed rate mortgages will remain the same for the entire period of the loan. Generally the fixed rate mortgage loans are safer because they ensure fixed mortgage payments. However, they may not be the perfect option for all aspiring borrowers. The traditional fixed rate loans have some specific requirements and need a minimum debt-equity ratio in order to qualify. These loans are useful for the borrowers planning to stay in the home for a long time.
FHA and VA Loans
The FHA loans are an affordable option for the borrowers who do not qualify for the conventional mortgage loans. The loan is guaranteed by the Federal Government, but is provided to buyers by financial lenders. These loans are suitable for home buyers with a modest income or with an imperfect credit record and for those who cannot make a large down payment.
The VA loans are available for those who have served active duty in the US armed services. A portion of the VA loans is guaranteed by the US government, in case the borrower is unable to complete the loan terms. 100% financing is available with no down payment requirement.
Local Home Buying Programs
There are several other state or local level home buying programs available. Assistance is available for the required down payments. Please contact us for more information about this.

Coco Rocha wants Jones t to be her hype woman at every fashion show. Looking at the video and watching Jones' "wooooo!" and "I love you!" heck yeah, who wouldn't?!
She is probably the best thing you will see all Fashion Week. We just can't get enough of Leslie Jones cheering the models on like a proud parent. So let's have a look at it from a different angle!
We wish that Leslie Jones could be in the front row of every event. Those who couldn't catch Jones live at New York Fashion Week, she'll be back on our televisions on September 30th, with the amazing SNL crew.
I had so much fun and um I think acted more like I was at a game than fashion show!! lol y'all k ow I'm ghetto!! @CSiriano COLLECTION LOVE!! pic.twitter.com/yOAXRBEhrA

Beach Cottage Makeover ~ Old Fridge Gets the BC Treatment
Tue 7th, Sep, 2010
Well, here we have it, the gross fridge makeover…getting some beach decor in this old cottage.
And yep this is truly as exciting as my life gets.
I spend my weekends brandishing chalkboard paint, or for that matter any kind of paint, around looking for my next victim to get this place full of beach decor and ready for some sweet coastal living!
It's funny. While I was re-vamping this Miss Beach Cottage had a girlfriend over for a sleepover.
I liked her quite a lot cos I heard her say to my lovely daughter in that beautiful girlie way, that can only come from that age, brimming with enthusiasm, 'ooooh your house is so pretty!'
I love your nautical cottage look…my mum loves beach decor too!
Score number one. You can stay sweetie.
Next she said my roast chicken was scrumptious.
Score number two. I'm beginning to quite like having you around.
Next she turned her eye to the fridge.
She found it rather strange from what I heard that I was taking before photos of an old fridge. An ugly old fridge.
But once she saw it finished she ooohed at the transformation.
Score. You can come back.
So, this lovely Beach Cottager's is it. Who was I kidding yesterday with that post, that I might have done anything other than zap it with chalkboard paint…chalkboard paint is my go to for beach decor…
Whaddya think?
Personally, I am patting my back, long and hard, having saved a few cubic feet of earth from a grotty old fridge.
Mr Beach Cottage reserved judgement, there were definitely eyebrows involved here.
He thinks Tuesday's are his new lucky day.
I may have to re-think that.
I think chalkboard paint, old vintage things, the odd nautical stripe, white and of course some flowers all add up to beautiful beach decor…don't you?
Catch ya later beach decor chicks…I am outta here.
p.s. you can find the step-by-step to how I did this HERE
and I'm sure you've all seen the Apt Therapy re-vamp here and find others here and here
oh & for more beach decor & nautical cottage ideas, go here!
fridge : free paint : Dulux Blackboard paint
chair : thrifted china, rug, pitcher : IKEA
flowers : BC garden
napkins : BC Store

Pity our little fridge died before I could do something like that to it…how fun! And there is no way that I could get away with doing that to our larger fridge….
Would never have thought of 'chalkboarding' a fridge… what a great idea! I think your daughter's friends is one very smart little chick :)
HMMMM!!! I wonder where you got that idea from!!!!!
well you know and of course Danny Seo…
and Apartment Therapy lol!!
LOVE IT !!! Sarah you are a genius
I love it! So adorable! :)
She shoots! She scores!!!!!! It's great! And it serves a wonderful purpose.
That is really recycling!
WOW Sarah!!! I have a serious case of fridge e n v y going on……I am totally loving the way this turned out.
I may have to pinch this idea for myself…..look out little grotty bar fridge here comes the blackboard paint :)
p.s…..I did suspect that you would chalkboard it and it truely does look fantabulous!!!!!!!!!
Fabulous but that is what I expect from you….
always wonderful, you have spoiled us!!
AND I am using so many of your ideas in my cottage, hope you don't mind;-)
Now, you gotta tell us what is inside, yes???
Looks great… and I wasn't sold on it… More to the point, that's one hell of a shopping list you've got there… I wish mine was as exciting… it would read more like, diapers, bread, milk… Lx
Hi sarah…hey i was gunna leave a message yesterday to say i bet it gets a blackboard job…but was tooo scared as i figured that aint what YUUSE was gunna do…
well strike me lucky!! i was right for once…& didnt leave a message!!
oh well..looks fabulous…
But as another blogger said….whats inside????
xx andrea
champagne and strawberries of course!
wonderful idea, I too am chalkboard crazy over what ever I can turn into a blackboard. This is the best fridge I have seen for a mini one, and such cute personality you gave it.
Love your inspiration!!
Super cute! My 19 yo son has a fridge that same size in the basement that's currently finished in a fake wood looking vinyl. I wonder if he'd let me fix it up for him with chalkboard paint. Hmmm.
Soooooo cute Sarah ! I must admit I couldnt even imagine it with chalk board paint ! But once again SCORE !
Sarah it looks so cool!
oH I had to laugh at your comment about your hubby looking forward to Tuesday! Give him lots of love! He seems like a sweetie :)
JUST BRILLIANT! You are so clever.
Ha!I'd love to have a little black fridge full of champagne and strawberries too! Alas, I have champagne taste with a beer budget. Great "new" fridge, Sarah!
you and me both lol!
Yeah! I thought it would be something like this. Great job. Thank you for saving the earth for us and doing it in such a beautiful way.
Amazing! I have never seen anything quite like it….and it's always great to see one's daughter develop a new relationship with a good friend.
Did you have to lay on the floor to write the last bit lol?
I do love your shopping list Sarah especially the chocolate :)
Now that is amazing!!! I adore everything you do Sarah…you have such fabulous style!!!
Hugs ~
I love it! Is this an additional fridge for you or does it replace one?
So are you actually using it as a fridge?
I especially love your shopping list! Fabulous makeover, lady!
I like it , especially your menu and the shopping list ;) You can still use it as a cupboard can;t you so what is mister BC's eye brow raising >
You inspire me. On the weekend I started updating a chest of drawers we have.
I am stealing this to do to the mini fridge I send with my daughter to college next year! She will love it!
L.O.V.I.N.G it!
This is definitely a longweekend job for us to try.
x Felicity
I adore it, just brilliant!
Awesome job Sarah. Love the blackboard look – and am so excited because I found spray bb paint here, while looking for wallpaper paste of all things. Now just have to choose which project to use it on. Here is a link to my Ikea Napkin pom pom's. http://lavienchic.blogspot.com/2010/09/pretty-napkin-pom-poms.html
cant seem to get the how to link….did you zisser first then two coats?
It is brilliant, just love it..Never thought chalkboard could have just so much
appeal in my home…after teaching with them for 20 years andthen going
whiteboards! Great for encouraging words and humour in a house of
teenagers and a toddler……This little project and photos are just too good Sarah.
You never disappoint.
That's brilliant. Love it. BTW, fancy popping over tomorrow to you know where? x
LOL oops, sorry. thought this was a link to my friend's blogpost. Of course you'd be more than welcome to join us at one of our favourite cafes if you were close by LOL ;0)
I think it looks fabulous!! And I love your slideshow header as well. Everything you do (and photograph) is just gorgeous. :) Thanks for linking up.
hi, my name is katia, i write from south italy. i would restyle my fridge but when i go to the link page i cannot see anything..may you explain me the how to's? thanks very much and happy ney year!
You have no idea what this post did to me. It gave me a tremendous boost and confidence. I was looking for painting my fridge with chalk board paint but I was not too sure.
I am now.
Thank you. I wonder how I never saw this.
it's a no brainer for an old fridge! x

It's perfect for using in your bobbin as it causes very little lint and, since it is 50 wt.,
you can fill a bobbin with a large quantity and not have to refill so often.
For piecing a quilt, three thread colors are essential:
1. White for piecing white fabric.
2. Black for piecing black fabric
3. Linen for piecing most every other color.

Florida incorporates the USDA hardiness zones of 8b to 10b, with very humid and tropical weather. Plants for 8b to 19b zones are those able to withstand this heat. Full sun plants for New York may not be the same as full sun plants for Florida as Florida's temperatures and direct sun are much higher than New York's. Choices for Florida full sun plants include many favorites.
Coreopsis tinctoria, also known as calliopsis or golden coreopsis, is from the Asteraceae/Compositae family. It is a fast growing annual that attracts butterflies and hummingbirds to the garden. Leaves are 2 to 4 inches long. Stems are stiff and carry flowerheads 2 inches wide. Colors are red, orange, maroon, bronze, and yellow. Grow a calliopsis in full sun with any well drained soil.

GitHub Spectacles
At Terracoding we regularly review pull requests from each other when working on a project. GitHub's "Commits" and "Files Changed" tabs make it pretty painless but we wanted a way to easily view Ruby implementation files alongside their specs.
I created a bookmarklet to arrange the file pairs 2-up for review. With the files side-by-side it's easy to spot code that isn't covered by tests and we get a better idea of what methods are meant to do. It also hides the code of deleted files which I never bother to read during review.

- Women and men plan to spend their tax refunds in different ways, a new survey finds.
- More women will use their refunds to pay off debt, even though men actually have more debt on average.
- But one financial expert says that paying off debt first may not be the smartest choice.
Nobody looks forward to doing their taxes, but one thing to look forward to once you've finished the dreaded task is a refund check. How you plan to spend that refund, however, could come down to your gender.
A new survey from GoBankingRates found that about 40 percent of women will put their tax refund toward paying off their debts this year, compared to 33 percent of men. This is in spite of the fact that men actually tend to have more debt than women, according to another survey from GoBankingRates. In fact, on average, women owe $31,037 while men owe $95,057.
Women may put money towards paying off debt, because they worry more about it than men.
"Because women feel less comfortable with the debt they do have, they're more likely to pay it down," Cynthia Meyer, a financial planner at Financial Finesse, a company that provides financial coaching to employees, told INSIDER. She also added that this discomfort could stem from the fact that women tend to take on the role of "worriers-in-chief" in their families.
"That's what I see in my own life, anyway, and what we hear frequently on our financial health line is that women are more likely to think through the negative consequences of something for the whole family," Meyer said.
Research conducted by Meyer's financial firm in 2016 supported this theory, revealing that 67 percent of men surveyed felt comfortable with their debt, while only 54 percent of women did.
Paying off debt, however, may not be the best decision.
Looking at the overall trends with men and women combined, 36 percent of respondents to the GoBankingRates survey said they would use their refund to pay off debt. The survey, which asked more than 5,000 people across the United States how they would spend their tax refunds, also found that 43 percent of Americans plan on putting them into savings.
Depending on the person and the situation, this could be a better idea than rushing to pay off debt, Meyer told INSIDER.
"The first question is does somebody — male or female — have a cash reserve," Meyer said. "If there's no emergency fund, think about some chunk of that tax refund going into a cash-type account for emergencies for the coming year."
Ideally, you should have three to six months worth of living expenses squirreled away, she said.
"A lot of people won't be able to cover that with a tax refund, but even just putting $500 or $1,000 in that emergency fund is going to help a lot and keep people from putting more on their credit cards in 2018," Meyer said.
Once you have an emergency fund, Meyer said you should turn to paying off your most high-interest debt.
"It may not be as attractive as putting money in your retirement plan or your Roth IRA, or saving for that fun vacation, but it can have a big financial boost," she said.

Paul Hill has been raising pigs all of his life on the home property where he grew up in Mitchell, Ontario. Rosie was raised on a farm as well, and holds a diploma in Foodservice Management. When they were married, Rosie came to work for Paul in the expanding farming operation, and the rest is Willowgrove history.
Paul and Rosie had three children – Ryan, Maddie and Joey. Sadly, in 2001, their oldest, Ryan, succumbed to liver cancer at the age of two. This loss was the impetus to further enhance their premium-quality pork and ensure that their family – and all of their customers – had an accessible, healthy choice.
First, they changed their herd to an extremely high-health, genetically stress-free animal: Topigs – maternal (Topigs being one of the top three breeding organizations in the world, dedicated to improving and refining breeding techniques) and Tempo – paternal (known for its sturdiness and high resistance to disease). This respected genetic line also gives the meat a little more marbling, which results in a more tender and more flavourful end product.
After seeing the success of Omega in eggs and milk products – and recognizing the corresponding health benefits – Paul and Rosie set their sights on becoming the first pork producers in North America to enrich their products with DHA/EPA Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and organic Selenium, farm-raised and without the use of antibiotics or growth promotants.
In the spring of 2007, they began the intricate process of introducing DHA/EPA Omega-3 fatty acids (human-grade fish oil) naturally, through feed, based on a specially formulated diet designed by a professional hog nutritionist.
Paul and Rosie's pioneering efforts are based on a sense of integrity, ethics and passion for what they do. Just ask Paul »
Paul Hill, President
Raised on a family farm, which began operations in 1971 (18 sows), Paul has a lifetime of involvement – and expertise - in the pork industry. Since then, Operations at Willowgrove Hill have expanded three times under Paul's leadership: in 1988 (80 sows), 1996 (350 sows) and 2000 (500 sows). In the spring of 2007, he began the intricate process of introducing DHA/EPA Omega-3 fatty acids (human-grade fish oil) naturally, through feed, based on a specially formulated diet designed by a professional hog nutritionist. Paul's pioneering efforts – based on a sense of integrity, ethics and passion for the work that he does – have been recognized with the Ontario Premier's Award for Agri-Food Innovation Excellence.

9 Common Errors Made During API Testing
API testing is an important facet of the API development process. Such testing can help disclose important security flaws, data processing errors, and even breaks in basic functionality. With all that said, it's an unfortunate fact that many API testing processes are fundamentally flawed, and because of this, issues are often kept around and extended well beyond their reasonable lifespan.

The creation of an API style guide is, however relevant for API providers regardless of whether they are providing APIs externally or internally: It provides the context for their development efforts whether it be outsourced or created internally and is an important tool for achieving some level of governance across the organization.

Jake Worthington live at Charlie's Bar & Grill Winnie Jan 26
Jake Worthington, runner-up of Season 6 of NBC's hit singing competition The Voice, returns to Southeast Texas and this time will perform at Charlie's Bar & Grill in Winnie on Friday, Jan. 26, at 9 p.m. Worthington, from La Porte, opened up a lot of eyes in 2014 when country singer Blake Shelton picked Jake to be on his team during that season of The Voice. He covered songs like "Right Here Waiting" by Richard Marx, "Don't Close Your Eyes" by the late Keith Whitley, and "A Country Boy Can Survive" by Hank Williams Jr., which made him an easy choice for the voting audience. Worthington's version of "Heaven," originally performed by Bryan Adams, went to No. 3 on Billboard Country Top Digital songs. Local classic country band Honky Tonk Special will open the show. Tickets are $10 in advance or $15 at the door. Charlie's is at 210 TX-73 in Winnie. For more information, call (409) 296-1096.

I took my sweet time catching up with him at Pike Place around 1pm.
Always a line at Piroshky Piroshky.
Slurped up some raw scallops at City Fish and then went back later for more.
The season's first Copper River salmon are in and usually last only a couple of weeks. At the market, the King sells for $50/lb, filleted, and the Sockeye is $16/lb. Still, a 5 oz portion of Sockeye substituted for Coho salmon on a Caesar salad in the market is a $20 surcharge on an already $19 Caesar with salmon ($12 for the salad, $7 for the fish). The richer, fattier King- when restaurants have it- is usually a $40 surcharge on regular salmon items. We were recommended the salmon dish on Steelhead Diner's lunch menu by a server at another restaurant... "It's $25 normally, but it's $65 with King salmon and worth it."
Gonna need a few days to adjust to these prices before that's a possibility.
Peter's Cranberry Cove, Penn Cove and Sun Hollow Oysters.
Super dilly house mix. Bloody Marys are definitely the worst idea ever or the best one, depending on a constellation of arbitrary factors. 360 days out of the year, the thought horrifies me, but when they're clutch, bring it. Mm so salty.
We were told the Dungeness would be richer and saltier than the king crab. It wasn't exactly salty or rich, but it was delicious and a joy to eat. They also had snow crab legs on the menu, but who needs to work that hard?
The king crab, though. Wow. Maybe the most stunning raw material either of us had ever tasted.
Seasoned with nothing but the seawater over which it was steamed.
It was also my first king crab. Because I'm averse to the idea of the waterlogged poly-fil crab legs I've always imagined lurking in the deep freeze of expensive steakhouses. And I was too cheap and stupid at 23 to get it when I was up and down coastal Alaska for a month, not realizing the incredible value I'd be getting and the unlikelihood that I'd encounter it so spanking fresh again.
Well, that was twelve years ago and I wasn't about to wait another twelve.
We ate it unadulterated at first. Then dunked in clarified butter towards the end. Dreamy.
Our server Ali brought me a little salad with Beecher's jack and pickled beets to taste while Peter tried some local beers.
Mango-mate with tequila and cucumber-tarragon with gin. Fat squeeze of lime in both.
Happy hour at ZigZag. Mine was a Champagne cocktail with gin, pineapple syrup, lime, and grapefruit bitters. His was mezcal with pineapple syrup and lime. Good expressions of our respective tastes, although neither drink was memorable.
The deviled eggs looked good so we got those too. The chicharrones also looked good but we practiced restraint (just to make sure it still worked).
More food at Umi. Started with a yuzu margarita and P had an Otis Elevator- Aperol, lime, tequila and a lemongrass ginger jalapeño syrup.
We didn't order edamame. It magically appears on everyone's tables.
White King, Sockeye and King salmon.
Tartare. Way too much going on- had that kitchen sinky taste; not metaphorically but literally. Like a garbage disposal.
Same with this Panda Roll or salmon skin and albacore. Perfectly fine before it got slimed with this black sesame nightmare straight out of the scene in Jurassic Park where Dennis Nedry is devoured by the Dilophosaurus.
We Can Do It! Which nicely summed up the spirit of the whole afternoon and evening.

Moving sucks.
We'll just get it right out there. Even if you're totally stoked about where you're moving, getting there is a major hassle
And that can make us lash out at the people we're moving with. In fact, 31 percent of Americans who have moved in with a significant other, including 46 percent of millennials, have had some of their worst arguments as a couple while moving.
Before you decide you're going to make one more move—to your own apartment without your partner—check out our advice for avoiding moving fights and thank us later.
1. Decide Who Does What.
"We've got it down to a science with a clear division of labor," says Ali Wenzke, who has moved 10 times in 11 years and shares her stories on "The Art of Happy Moving."
She declutters, sells unwanted furniture, packs most of the boxes and researches the costs of renting a truck or getting storage. Her husband gets the truck, organizes the cargo like a jigsaw puzzle and drives them to their new locale. He also deals with canceling services and setting them up in the new house.
Even if you both are planning to pack, it's still wise to divide and conquer.
"Go through the house and just pick a room that you will pack, and the other person doesn't even go in there," says Robert Barnes, who sold his house so he and his wife could support their 11-year-old old son's march across America for diabetes.
"Couples have different opinions and love to offer suggestions to be 'helpful.' It's better to just focus on your own tasks," Barnes said.
2. Plan Ahead.
Nothing is more stressful that realizing you have to be out in 48 hours, and you haven't started packing. If you can, remove those last-minute headaches by starting to gradually pack at least a few weeks before the move, suggests Klaus Gonche, a Realtor with Century 21 Hansen Realty in South Florida.
"Start with non-essentials and clearly mark the boxes, to ease the unpacking," said Gonche.
3. Refrain from Last Minute Purging.
Is this the time to get rid of your significant other's beer can collection or harass your wife about the outgrown baby clothes she insists on keeping?
Probably not, says licensed clinical professional counselor Shlomo Slatkin.
"Making decisions on what to keep or purge can be a heated issue, so either move everything and decide what to purge later or do your sorting and purging well in advance."
Or, take a cue from Barnes, who offered to buy new things to replace some items that his wife was attached to, but that weren't worth moving.
"The time and cost savings offset each other," he says.
4. Be Nice to Each Other.
"The whole process is typically hard on everyone and people react in various ways – they could become grumpy, anxious or argumentative," says Jonathan Bennett, a certified counselor in the Columbus, Ohio, area. "Look at your partner with empathy: He or she is likely just as stressed as you and isn't purposefully trying to create trouble."
For that reason, Bruce Cameron, a counselor in Dallas recommends only communicating factually, as it relates to the task of packing and moving.
"Save the feelings for later, when you're not caught up in the stress," Cameron said.
5. Set a Budget.
Moving is also usually expensive, which adds a layer of financial stress to the situation, says Kerri Moriarty, head of company development for Boston-based Cinch Financial, who has moved eight times in the last seven years.
She recommends planning a budget for the move and allocating savings to cover the expenses, which helps avoid freaking out over the last-minute expenses that are bound to pop up.
"If you have time before the planned move, focus on stashing away as much extra cash as you can to create a buffer for any unexpected costs that might pop up," she recommends.
If possible, consider budgeting for a company that packs for you, suggests Cameron.
6. Keep The End in Mind.
You're moving for a reason, and it's typically a good one: a new job, upgrading homes or downsizing to create less upkeep, points out Bennett.
"Focus on the positives as you go through the drudgery of moving. It won't take away the annoyance of packing boxes and loading trucks, but it will remind you that the temporary aggravation has a positive long-term purpose," Bennett said.
7. Make It Fun.
Take time to have fun – turn packing into a contest, cook your favorite dish as your "last meal" or try out some restaurants in your new community, suggest Jenna Weinerman, marketing director at Updater.com, which makes software to streamline the moving process.
8. Take Comfort That Practice Makes Perfect.
Not that you want to go through moving again, but it might be comforting to know that it gets easier. In fact the aforementioned survey found that those who have moved three or fewer times were about twice as likely (49 percent) to admit to moving day fights than the 25 percent who had moved more than 3 times (25 percent).
9. Hands Off the Flat Pack Furnishings, For Now
We saved the best tip for last:
"Don't build any IKEA furniture until you've been settled for at least a couple days," says Moriarty.

Commercial Capital Company's Leasing 101
Leasing can provide you with flexible terms and payments. Below are some things to consider when contemplating Lease vs Buy.
Commercial Capital's lease financing allows businesses of all types and sizes to obtain the materials they need to keep their operations up-to-date while maintaining cash flow.
With equipment leasing, businesses can finance 100 percent of their equipment purchase.
Commercial Capital offers flexible monthly payments, which means businesses can enjoy improved cash flow while keeping equipment up to date.
Leasing Basics
At the most basic level, a lease is an agreement in which a leasing company, such as Commercial Capital, gives a customer the right to use its equipment for a specified length of time and specified payment.
At the end of a capital lease the equipment is yours for $1
When an operating lease ends, the customer can purchase, return or continue to lease the equipment, depending on the specifics of the lease.
Businesses Who Lease With Commercial Capital
Commercial Capital provides a wide range of equipment leasing, including reprographics equipment leasing, medical equipment leasing, fabrication equipment leasing, material handling equipment leasing, office equipment leasing and computer networking equipment leasing.

With capital equipment leasing, businesses can lease anything they need to run their businesses, from the specialized equipment for their fields to basic office equipment, software and communications systems. Even the costs of installation and consultation can be leased.
Commercial Capital provides leasing nationwide.
|Lease vs. Buy
|Cash Flow is King! Little to no upfront costs. Company cash flow remains untouched
|Large one lump sum upfront constricting company cash flow
|Section 179 Tax Lease payments are completely tax deductible
|Section 179 Tax deduction, but not full cost of equipment (179 Tax Deduction Calculator - http://www.section179.org/section_179_deduction.html)
|Able to upgrade to the newest model. Short term leases give the availability to upgrade equipment as technology advances. Also, the company does not need to house unused equipment
|Own the equipment outright. As technology advances, the company will need to decide if they want to sell the old to buy new, or use the old until it becomes obsolete.
|Maintenance expense included in lease, no additional out of pocket expenses
|Maintenance expenses paid out of pocket
|Open line of credit increases cash flow to business and creates a rich credit line
|Limited cash flow after large purchases can create a strain on a company's credit line
|Operating leases are considered a business expense and can be moved to the off balance sheet
|Direct purchases or loans show up as a business expense and can negatively affect the business's credit line
|Over 80% of businesses prefer leasing equipment
|Under 20% of businesses prefer buying equipment
