Recourse finance is a type of loan that allows a lender to seek financial damages if the borrower fails to pay the liability, and if the value of the underlying asset is not enough to cover it. Recourse finance allows the lender to go after the debtor's assets that were not used as loan collateral in case of default. The essential difference between a recourse and non-recourse loan has to do with which assets a lender can go after if a borrower fails to repay a loan.
In both types of loans, the lender is allowed to take possession of any assets that were used as collateral to secure the loan. In most cases, the collateral is the asset that was purchased by the loan. For example, in both recourse and non-recourse mortgages, the lender would be able to seize and sell the house to pay off the loan if the borrower defaults.
The distinction comes into play if money is still owed on the debt after the collateral is sold. In a recourse mortgage, the lender can go after the borrower's other assets or sue to have his or her wages garnished – anything to be made whole, basically. In a non-recourse mortgage, however, the lender is out of luck. If the asset does not sell for at least what the borrower owes, the lender must absorb the difference and walk away; he has no claim on the lender's other funds or funding sources.
Not surprisingly, as a matter of principle, borrowers almost always favor non-recourse loans, while lenders almost always favor recourse loans. While potential borrowers might find it attractive to hold out for non-recourse loans, it is important to remember that they come with higher interest rates and are reserved for individuals and businesses with the best credit. Additionally, failure to pay off a non-recourse debt may leave a borrower's other assets untouched, but the default is still on record, with all that implies for the borrower's credit score, the impact of which is not positive one.
Recourse finance give lenders a higher degree of power because they have fewer limits on what assets lenders can go after for loan repayment. For example, suppose that a homeowner takes out a recourse loan for $500,000 to purchase a home and then goes into foreclosure when the local housing market declines. If the value of the home is now only $400,000 and it was purchased with a recourse loan, the lending institution can target the borrower's other assets in order to make up for the outstanding $100,000.
Full Recourse Debt
A full recourse debt is a guarantee that no matter what happens, the borrower will repay the debt. Typically with a full recourse loan no occurrence, such as loss of job or sickness, can get the borrower out of the debt obligation. In this situation, if there is no collateral for the loan, the lender can go after the borrowers personal assets to collect if the loan is defaulted.
In contrast, limited recourse finance would only allow the lender to take assets that are listed as collateral in the signed loan agreement. Also, a non-recourse loan would have no collateral and the lender would only be able to take the asset that is being financed, such as a home in a non-recourse mortgage.
Limited Recourse Debt
A limited recourse debt is a debt in which the creditor has limited claims on the loan in the event of default. Limited recourse debt sits in between secured bonds and unsecured bonds in terms of the backing behind the loan. Often a limited recourse debt contract is structured so that the debt transitions to unsecured, or non-recourse, debt pending the completion of a specific event. That event may be the completion of a project or the establishment of a specific revenue stream for which the debt was issued.
For example, terms for limited recourse debt for a large project such as a power plant could mean that a creditor is guaranteed to receive 25% of the principal in the event of a default up until completion of the power plant.
Limited recourse debt will typically pay a lower rate than standard issue unsecured bonds because of its relative safety. Claims on limited recourse debt sit above both stockholders and unsecured bondholders in terms of payout hierarchy.
Non Recourse Finance
Non recourse finance is a loan where the lender is only entitled to repayment from the profits of the project the loan is funding, not from other assets of the borrower.
These types of projects are characterized by high capital expenditures, long loan periods and uncertain revenue streams. Analyzing non-recourse financing requires a sound knowledge of the underlying technical domain as well as financial modeling skills.
Considered a fairly high-risk undertaking on the part of lenders, non-recourse financing does not include access to any of the borrowers' assets beyond the agreed upon collateral, even if they default on the loans. Payments on such loans can only be made as the funded projects generate revenue. Due to the uncertainty, loan periods are generally long to give ample time for projects to produce returns. Additionally, interest rates are generally higher on non-recourse loans, corresponding to the elevated risk involved. If projects produce no revenue during the loan periods, lenders receive no payments on the debt and cannot go after the borrowers for remaining balances after collateral is seized.
Recourse Finance versus Non Recourse Finance
If two people are looking to purchase large assets, such as a homes, and one receives a recourse loan and the other a non-recourse loan, the actions the financial institution can take against each borrower are different. In both cases, the homes may be used as collateral, meaning they can be seized should either borrower default. To recoup costs when the borrowers default, the financial institutions can attempt to sell the homes and use the sale price to pay down the associated debt. If the properties sell for less than the amount owed, the financial institution can pursue only the debtor with the recourse loan. The debtor with the non-recourse loan cannot be pursued for any additional payment beyond the seizure of the asset.
Non-Recourse Sale
A non-recourse sale is a transaction in which a creditor turns a bad debt over to a third party in exchange for a percentage of the total debt amount, and in which the third party is without means of redress or compensation if the debt remains uncollectible. In a recourse sale, the third party could try to sell back any uncollectible debts.
After purchasing bad debts for pennies on the dollar, debt collectors can keep as profit whatever portion of the debts they are able to collect. The original owner of the bad debt (e.g., a credit card company) gets a liability off its books and saves the time and expense of making further attempts to collect a stubborn debt. A non-recourse sale entails more risk for the purchaser of the bad debts, but usually means the seller is finished dealing with them once and for all.
Non-Recourse Debt
A non-recourse debt is a type of loan secured by collateral, which is usually property. If the borrower defaults, the issuer can seize the collateral but cannot seek out the borrower for any further compensation, even if the collateral does not cover the full value of the defaulted amount. This is one instance where the borrower does not have personal liability for the loan.
With non-recourse debt, the creditor's only protection against borrower default is the ability to seize the collateral and liquidate it to cover the debt owed. Because in many cases the resale value of the collateral can dip below the loan balance over the course of the loan, non-recourse debt is riskier to the lender than recourse debt, which allows the lender to come after the borrower for any balance that remains after liquidating the collateral. For this reason, lenders charge higher interest rates on non-recourse debt to compensate for the elevated risk.
Recourse vs. Non-Recourse Debt
Recourse debt gives the creditor full autonomy to pursue the borrower for the total debt owed in the event of default. After liquidating the collateral, any balance that remains is known as a deficiency balance. The lender may attempt to collect this balance by several means, including filing a lawsuit and obtaining a deficiency judgment in court. If the debt is non-recourse, the lender may liquidate the collateral but may not attempt to collect the deficiency balance.
For example, consider an auto lender who loans a customer $30,000 to purchase a new vehicle. New cars are notorious for declining precipitously in value the minute they are driven off the lot. When the borrower stops making car payments six months into the loan, the vehicle is only worth $22,000, yet the borrower still owes $28,000. The lender repossesses the car and liquidates it for its full market value, leaving a deficiency balance of $6,000. Most car loans are recourse loans, meaning the lender can pursue the borrower for the $6,000 deficiency balance. In the event it is a non-recourse loan, however, the lender forfeits this sum.
Non-Recourse Debt Underwriting
Non-recourse debt is characterized by high capital expenditures, long loan periods and uncertain revenue streams. To preempt deficiency balances, loan-to-value (LTV) ratios are usually limited to 60% in non-recourse loans. Lenders impose higher credit standards on borrowers to minimize the chance of default.
Non-recourse loans, on account of their greater risk, carry higher interest rates than recourse loans.

JEREMY CORBYN today refused to admit that there is anything good about capitalism - but praised China's communist economy.
Asked to name any good points of the free market, the Labour boss wouldn't come up with any answers.
He suggested the only benefit of capitalism is that it can be challenged by left-wing activists and refused to deny that he wants to see capitalism overthrown completely.
Appearing on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show, Mr Corbyn was challenged on figures which show free markets have lifted 1.2billion people out of poverty.
He replied: "1.2billion have been taken to a slightly higher level than before, 'taken out of poverty' is perhaps slightly generous."
When Mr Marr suggested that China's population had been helped by the country's turn towards capitalism, Mr Corbyn said: "I'm not sure what you define the Chinese economy is - it is very state driven, it is very state organised.
"China has grown massively, its economic growth since 1949 and then after the death of Mao and the Great Leap Forward and so on."
He also criticised the country's human rights record and environmental damage.
Asked point blank if there is anything he likes about capitalism, the Labour boss responded: "Capitalism is a system that has evolved, it's a system that is there.
"Has it got anything right? Well, it does invest - mainly for its own benefit - but it does get challenged."
And when Mr Marr suggested that Mr Corbyn was hoping to end capitalism in Britain, he did not reject the claim, saying only: "What we want to do with a Labour government is deal with the issues as of now."
Later in the interview, the Labour leader was challenged on his dealings with the repressive Iranian regime.
He insisted that when he visited the country, he repeatedly pressed officials on human rights abuses.
And he admitted he'd been paid to appear on the government's propaganda channel Press TV but claimed he stopped after a crackdown on young protesters in 2009.
Corbyn promises we WILL quit EU but won't say what he wants from Brexit
JEREMY CORBYN today insisted he DOES support Britain leaving the EU - but again refused to reveal what Brexit solution he wants.
The Labour boss said he doesn't favour staying in a "reformed" European Union or holding a second referendum on Brexit.
But asked what sort of trade deal he wants with the EU, Mr Corbyn only demanded "a trading relationship with Europe" withut giving more details.
He said: "The principle has to be the trade relationship, and that's what we're focused on, and whatever we need to negotiate, we will."
Although he insisted he'd end the free movement of people, he said he wants European workers to continue to fill skills shortages in the UK.
And he repeated his call for "a form of customs union" with the EU - but ruled out staying in the existing customs union.

As much as 75 percent of the merchandise assortment includes new product introductions each year so customers will see new products nearly every time they visit.

Pier One buyers help locate and import products from over 50 countries.
The company operates
regional distribution center facilities in or near Baltimore, MD; Columbus, OH; Fort Worth, TX;

In fiscal 2016, Pier 1 reported revenues of $1.89 billion, a 0.4% increase, and net income of $39.6 million. E-commerce sales represented 4% of total revenue.
Pier One said it closed 33 net stores in fiscal 2016 and expects to close 20 locations in fiscal 2017.
Pier 1 Imports started as a single store in San Mateo, CA in 1962. Our first customers were post-World War II baby boomers looking for beanbag chairs, love beads and incense. Pier 1 has carried a wide selection of merchandise through the years, from chocolate covered ants to clothing lines to life-size Spanish suits of armor.
Pier 1 established its corporate headquarters in Fort Worth, TX in 1966. By then, there were 16 store locations with a merchandise mix of incense and other popular novelty items of the time.
In 1970, Pier 1 went public and became listed on the American Stock Exchange. It joined the New York Stock Exchange in 1972 under the stock symbol PIR.

Pier 1 acquired Cargo Furniture and Home in 2001. Established in 1981, Cargo Furniture and Home was originally a family-focused selection of casual furniture. The company changed the concept to Cargokids, a specialty retailer offering value-oriented, fashionable children's furniture and accessories.

The company launched its e-commerce enabled website in July 2012.

Top .01%, Top 1%, Bottom 99%
from David Ruccio (and the New York Times)
For the arithmetically challenged, that's a total of 93 percent of the growth in income in 2010 that went to the top 1 percent of taxpayers.
What these numbers indicate is that the wages and salaries of the bottom 99 percent barely changed but the surplus those same workers created during 2010 (a) increased, (b) was mostly captured by the top 1 percent, and (c) was sheltered from taxes.
In other words, the tiny minority at the top made out like bandits in 2010.

That result is entirely predictable and explicable. It follows from Ricardos Law of Rent as it applies in conditions of full land enclosure. For a more detailed analysis, refer to Henry George's book "Progress and Poverty". Marx gives a defective explanation by conflating land and capital and failing to define either with precision.
There is little more to add to what Henry George said. He spelled out what needs to be done bad sadly those would would wish for economic reform looked elsewhere so the problem has never been solved.

All my life i've had a certain conception about America. American cannot be Ameica without a people of plentty residing in its borders. Most Americans rich and middle class shared this view, although they fought about how it could be achieved. Then c. 1980 the Ameican directing classes abandoned this belief and in a selfish grab for money increasingly maldistributed wealth in civil society, so that a gap between the rich and poor steady grew,which these statistics demonstrate. People who hold power and the purse strings in the country have abandoned the people to their fate. And the exceptionality of Ameica has disappeared: just another of the many countries characterized by a society filled with a small rich elite and lot of poor.
March 28, 2012 at 9:37 am
It would be nice if the post was complemented with a comparison on debt growth during 2010 so see if US consumers are deleveraging at all. The problem is that we don't now how household debt is distributed among the top 1% and the bottom 99%.

Someone once asked why sportspeople who suddenly appear and excel in their first season commonly do much worse subsequently. An answer was that not only were they better than everyone else in their first season, but also they were performing well above their own average.
It may be that someone in the top 1%, or top 0.1%, is performing well above average that year. It would be wrong to assume that someone in that top group this year was in that group last year and will be next year. I don't know what the turnover rate is in these groups, but it is most probably more than the zero assumed in the article.

Forget economics and crooks. Look at the firm. It has owners, individual proprietor, partnerships, or joint-stocki owners. The people who work in tthe firm have no voice in how the rewards earned by the firm working in a free market are distributed. The proprietors or their agents determine that. The problem starts there. So deal with the problem there: conceive of the firm as an entity, wherein employees, stockholders, and customers can participate in decision-making about how firms are run and emoluments paid out. If you don't start with firm governance you won't get anywhere.
March 30, 2012 at 10:10 am
The entire problem is robert, we do not have firm governance. I think that was my point…and who of which party is going to introduce firm governance?/
Its ridiculous to even imagine they will with the system the way it is in the US. Its corrupt. I cant even see the point of engaging in which economic policy would actually produce good outcomes for the economy when the heavyweights of industry are leaning on a beleagured and paid for puppet in government to introduce the sort of reforms for paying lobbyists that will only benefit the wealthiest. All the stats are out there now. The wealthiest have benefitted wildly ovr three decades of "let the market rule" hysteria.
What more proof do we all need?. If the market rules the bastards dont go to jai when they shoul and excessive greed is worshipped instead of seen as a human failing. We can talk about firm governance but who amongst our motley collection of elected representatives didnt get there without the help of big industries who expect a return from the political donation dollars they put in?
The US political system is a lump of swiss cheese with holes you could drive a truck through.
Thats why all this talk of how to "fix the economics / economic model" is completely and utterly meaningless. First fix the rotten to the core government proceses and we might actually ahve a chance of getting good economics in – but until then, it is quaint to discuss, for those so inclined, but essnetially a waste of time. For every decent economic policy proposed, the stink tanks and their media friends will snow most people with a well advertised rotten economic policy.

I'm inclined to agree with you Alice, about the United States, but the battle is still on outside the US-UK orbit, which is where so many of the people who participate in this blog live in fact and psychologically. I live in Gemany and I have studied the German firm governance system for over 30 years. It isn't perfect and it has been eroded by the invasion of US-UK Investor capitalism in the past few decades. Its a tough battle to give those who have no voice in firm governance a voice, but it is not hopeless, except in America. I am just hoping in the coming years that the non-US-UK world, whose importance is getting greater in the total complex, will find a more equitable system for distribution of the rewards to people who work in private firms. Don't expect much from US politics, it just gets worse there.
March 30, 2012 at 11:06 am
Few days ago I read a comment in this blog, that I found illuminating I don't know if it was yours but it was within your line of thinking, I believe. The commentary was that labour should not be seen as a cost, but as a share of corporate benefits. It follows that good governance should seek fair benefit sharing between corporate owners, managers, financers and the labour force, As you say, corporate governance is an important playground. This playground have different rules depending on which country and I confess, as a spanish, to feel somehow envious about german rules. I also notice that corporate structure (size, ownership etc.) is quite different when we compare countries such as Germany and Spain. My point is that it is a complex playground, where the labour share has been "conveniently" divided and negotiations are tricky, due to complex labour rules. One of the tricks is to change labour rules depending on the economic sector and companies have workers in different sectors.
March 30, 2012 at 11:25 am
Maybe the battle is still on in those countries as you say Robert outside the US-UK orbit ..and hang on could I suggest the battle is still on in what the charming US pro vested interest media refers to as "the socialist europeans" – its all so tiresome isnt it?
I dont expect much from US politics. It has been so overcome with the pressure from corporations, that basically whoever has any power (starting from Nixon and watergate through to Bush and his illegal tapping of US citixens with the large telecom companies that handed over millions of p\eoples phone records without a pause, and Goldman Sachs and its illegal behaviours and the banks who illegally foreclosed on many people's property (and they were retrsopectively immuinised from their own illegala behaviours) well they all got pardoned by every incoming president (and without a pause the rhetoric was the same "we want to move on now and get over the past" and thats no accident when corruption has set in. Its a standard line – well practised by Obama and rebublican govenments in the US. The powers of large corporations and political appointees that break the law are above the law.
There is no point discussing whats wrong with economics until this mess is fixed.
No one should be above the law – but they are. The US is effectively lawless. Its a joke.

In the recent month I have been using the new Sitecore Rocks plugin for Visual Studio. And I must admit that I am very impressed.
The installation is very easy. Open the Extension Manager in Visual Studio and search for Sitecore Rocks.
Hooking into your Sitecore project can be a but more tricky, because in order to use all the cool features of Sitecore Rocks, you need to use the Hard Rock Web Service, which needs to be installed in your website. If you have physical access to the site, it's no problem. If not, you need to copy the files manually.
Once you are up and running, you are able to browse Sitecore from the Sitecore Explorer:
Right click the website and select "Manage" to get a list of all Sites, Pipelines, Temp files, Caches, Lucene Indexes (including ability to browse and search the index = very cool!), statistics and validation:
Or how about the real-time Log Viewer: Right click the web site and select the log viewer. It will show you the latest log file, updating the view each 10 seconds:
But one of the features I use the most is the ability to copy xml from one website and paste it into another. Sitecore Rocks can display more than one site at a time. So instead of the tedious task of creating packages of content when moving from development to test servers, I simply open the development server, copy the items as XML, open the test server, and paste the items to the appropriate place. Fast and effective:
Here are some more Rocks! resources:
- Sitecore Rocks Blog
- Youtube Video
- Another Youtube Video
- Youtube Video on how to install Sitecore Rocks
- The John West Blog on Sitecore Rocks is also very good

Here are our step-by-step instructions on how to cook a whole chicken on the grill. We love the flavor and it's very simple to do! Try it for this Father's Day!
Whole Chicken (4 to 5 pounds)
Sesame Oil
Farm Girl Fresh Seasoned Salt (Page 125 in Eating Pure in a Processed Foods World®)
Rinse chicken. With a kitchen scissors or a sharp knife, cut either to the right or to the left of the breastbone all the way through. For smaller grills you can cut the chicken into two halves; for larger grills you can leave it as a whole. Pat down chicken with a dry towel to remove moisture from skin. Rub butter over chicken and then rub seasoned salt (more or less depending on your tastes).
Light grill and clean racks. (Remove top rack if needed to give more room for chicken.) Rub oil on racks. Grill chicken with indirect heat by turning off middle burners and leaving outside burners on. Let grill warm up to 400°. Place chicken skin side down on grill 20 minutes. Flip chicken over with skin side up and add a little butter to keep moist. Cook another 20 minutes. Rotate chicken and cook 20 more minutes. With a thermometer, check meat temperature, it should be 165° when ready. Let chicken set 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

On 30th January 2014, IWA submitted its response to the HS2 high speed rail Phase 2 consultation.
HS2 Phase 2 comprises two further sections of track, beyond those in Phase 1 which proposed a route from London to Birmingham, with a link to the north of Birmingham rejoining the existing West Coast Main Line at Handsacre. This route also proposed two 'spurs' to allow future extensions from HS2 to Manchester and Leeds.
IWA posted an initial draft of the reply to the consultation regarding the proposed routes from the West Midlands to Manchester and to Leeds in mid-November.
The reply has been widely discussed with IWA's own experts, members and with other organisations interested in the scheme including the Ashby, Barnsley Dearne & Dove and Chesterfield Canal Trusts, marina owners and operators, Peel Holdings, and Canal and River Trust.
It is hoped that the contributions from all the different parties have made a stronger, more aligned response which will get a better deal for the waterways.
The response can be downloaded from the IWA website.
On 17th July 2017 the Transport Secretary Chris Grayling introduced the Phase 2a High Speed Rail (West Midlands to Crewe) Bill to the House of Commons seeking the powers to construct HS2 from the West Midlands to just south of Crewe and planned to open in 2027. Read IWA's thoughts on the Bill.The Secretary of State also announced his decision on the outstanding sections of the Phase 2b route to Manchester and Leeds and confirmed a number of changes to the route. (IWA previously responded to consultations on the route in 2016 and 2013.) See IWA's thoughts on the positives and negatives of this latest decision and how the decision connects with our concerns stated in the 2016 consultation response.
In December 2014, IWA also submitted a response to the HS2 Crewe - Fradley Safeguarding Consultation.

Having children is expensive. Don't get me wrong, they are worth every penny but as with everything in life, there are always ways of saving some money along the way. I've picked up some fab tips on how to save money whilst keeping your kids (and yourselves) happy and healthy whilst living on a budget.
Once there are kids involved – a night out automatically becomes a lot more expensive due to the added cost of a babysitter. My top tip for this is to start a "Babysitting circle" with fellow parents – maybe from your ante-natal group or even nursery or school. You take it in turn to babysit for each other and at no cost. Most parents are so grateful for the free childcare that they don't take advantage of it, plus your child or children are being looked after by another (supposedly) responsible adult so it's a win win!
Free activities
Half term, Easter Holidays, Summer Holidays, these can be long periods of time when you feel that you need to entertain your kids all day every day. Google free activities in your city or town and you will find a whole load of things to do that you might not have thought of. Some of them will be seasonal (fetes and carnivals etc) but some (like some of the great museums in London are open and free all year round).
I know that parents want the very best for their children – and that's understandable, but buying your children second hand clothes, toys or books doesn't mean you love them less, it's better for the environment and your finances. Wouldn't you rather they had a few second hand things than one brand new one for the same price? I love seeing bargains in charity shops, on Facebook selling groups or even eBay for my niece. She is growing so fast that she's not in clothes for long, and I'm sure she will soon be getting bored of the toys and books she has, so it's nice to be able to get her little bits and pieces when I see them. My sister has asked that I stop buying so many big things though – I am filling up their nice new house!
Annual Passes
A lot of attractions suitable for children are really expensive, but if you think you'd like to go more than a couple of times in a year, then an annual pass might be worth considering. You can then use it as much as you like, so if you are at a loss as to something to do or somewhere to go, you can use your pass and have a free day out! It also means that you can pop along to the attraction for just a few hours and you don't feel you have to stay there all day. I have an English Heritage annual pass and one for Longleat.
Vouchers and coupons
Always be on the eye out for vouchers or discount codes – there are usually loads around if you know where to look. Sometimes you might have to collect coupons or save receipts but if you are clever and plan ahead you can get great deals on goods and days out – sometimes even holidays! I know many mums who save their Tesco Clubcard vouchers and put them towards deals. Even now the rules have changed slightly, they are really really good value.
Get outside
Invest in a good coat and boots and get outside! Whether it's playing in the garden, or going for a walk, the great outdoors is fascinating to kids and it's usually totally free! You can't really go wrong! Picnics are so much fun too – whether it's in the garden, or at the park. It's something a bit different and

Should hair be growing around my nipples? 4 things every teen girl should know about hair growth during puberty
When you're going through puberty, a lot is happening with your body. Your hormones throw off your emotional mojo, your breasts are growing, and all of the sudden, hair is everywhere. And thanks to mom, sex ed, or your doctor, you may be well informed about the basics of hair growth during puberty.
But what if you notice something seemingly uncommon — like hair growth around nipples? Is this normal? Or what if your hair down there begins creeping up your navel? You might still have a lot of questions that you find too embarrassing to bring up with an adult. So, to help, we did the asking for you.
We talked with board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist Dr. Felice Gersh about the unfamiliar world of hair growth during puberty and compiled a list of hairy facts that every teen girl should know to ease puberty jitters.
Even though it can be embarrassing to talk about, it's really important that you ask your doctor puberty-related questions. That's what they're there for, after all! And besides, puberty is something we all go through, so chances are, you're not the first person to ask.
But for now, let's dive into some of the basic questions you may have about hair popping up all over.
1A small amount of breast hair is completely normal.
Just like our arms, legs, and pretty much our entire body, our breasts and nipples have hair follicles within the skin. Dr. Gersh told HelloGiggles,
According to Columbia University's Go Ask Alice! forum, excess female nipple or breast hair can be a symptom of hormonal fluctuation or even an overproduction of male-linked hormones. Excess hair growth can also be a warning sign of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Cushing's Syndrome, or a thyroid problem. So, as Dr. Gersh noted, if you're concerned about the amount of breast hair around your nipples, make an appointment with your doctor to get things checked out.
But, if there are just a few hairs here and there around your nipples, Dr. Gersh says plucking them or trimming them short is perfectly fine.
2Hello, armpit and leg hair.
Armpit and leg hair may be the most embarrassing hair to emerge from puberty, solely because it's the only hair growth that gets exposed to the public, and your peers. But armpit and leg hair isn't something you should ever be ashamed of. Some women even flaunt it by growing their armpit hair long and dying it funky colors:
If you wish to remove your armpit or leg hair, shaving is probably the best option. Dr. Gersh recommends to "generously moisturize the skin before and after shaving and use a high quality razor."
3And hello to you too, pubic hair.
At the beginning of puberty, you'll notice that hair will start to grow around your genital region. This is pubic hair, and it will turn into a full bush soon enough.
If you begin to notice that your pubic hair is growing upwards towards the navel and/or further downwards, reaching the front of the thighs, you should call your doctor. Too much pubic hair could be a sign that your body is producing too much of the male sex hormone androgen. An influx of pubic hair can also be a symptom of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), so it's important to recognize the warning signs and get checked out to make sure everything is copacetic.
4Some hair growth is not normal for puberty.
Don't be so quick to use puberty as an excuse for all the hair growth you begin to notice. Dr. Gersh told us that there shouldn't be any hair growth going on on the face, back, or chest, "though some ethnic groups do have some mild facial hair on women."
If hair pops up where it shouldn't, get to your doctor's office to see what's going on. It could be nothing, or it could be a sign that your hormones aren't doing what they should be doing. It's better to be safe than sorry.
Armpit, leg, and pubic hair ais natural and totally normal. There's nothing wrong with keeping it around if you aren't keen with a razor, or if you just want be au naturale. And remember, don't hesitate to approach your doctor with any questions you may have about things going on with your body.

Our new Gen2 Children and Youth Team is here to support parishes to be truly intergenerational. As Gen 2, Pete White, Chad Chadwick, Becky Wills and Imogen Allen will continue to support the local church to fully include children and young people in all aspects of community life. They are here to resource, support, encourage and equip the parish church so that "one generation shall praise God's works to one another" (Psalm 145:4); generation to generation.
We believe that growth happens when all generations are engaged in being disciples of Jesus together. The Church of England's recent report Rooted in the Church found that
where children and young people are included, not judged, treated as equal and unconditionally welcomed they will stay and be at the heart of their local church family. Find out ways to encourage your church to be truly intergenerational: Contact the Gen2 team at Bouverie Court to find out more and access their support.

Wondering about close encounters and spinning.
Since I am called Dizzy, I may as well talk about spinning objects. I don't mean toy tops or ballerina dancers; I mean things that spin so fast it is beyond my comprehension. Have you ever heard of pulsars? They are the crushed remnants of dead stars which send out beams of radiation from their poles. Some spin at unbelievable rates for such a great mass. The latest one discovered sends out a beam every 5.44 milliseconds which means it spins 11,000 rpms. As a star dies and after the initial expansion is complete, it starts to fall in on its self. As it gets smaller it spins faster, like an ice skater when they pull their arms in.
These objects must be unbelievably dense to keep from tearing themselves apart. It is so wonderful that in this horrific universe with such deadly things happening all the time that life was able to find a more peaceful, protected world to take hold and flourish. Now, let us hope and pray that we can keep it that way. You all have a great day now, you hear?

Them 11,000 rpm's is bout the speed my brain turns at times. That might be the reason I fall down so much wait'n in the check out line at Walmart huh? Or maybe why I stagger round bump'n into stuff when I get up every morn'n.ReplyDelete
But I never worry bout all that stuff out there in space fall'n back down to earth....old broke satellites, rocket parts, beer cans and pizza boxes. My biggest concern is if'n I'm gonna make it through the day with all the crap what's fly'n round right here on earth.
I think BB is right about all the crap flying round right here on earth. We probably have a greater chance of getting hit by the politicians' BS than anything else. And I don't mind the astronomers looking at the universe, but I can't for the life of me see why they are so hell-bent on finding another planet that can support life. Another planet we can trash? And if there are aliens out there I sure don't want to meet them.ReplyDelete
No I don't worry about things spinning out there in space,not yet anyway.I have too much to worry about that's right in front of me,lol.ReplyDelete
Blessings Jane
BB, I know what you mean about your brain spinning. Sometimes it is hard to figure out which way is up.ReplyDelete
Gyosy, you are right about the crap flying around here. As far as finding I habitable planets, even if we find a perfect one, we could not reach it in a life time.
Jane, yes you have to be ready to duck in a moments notice.

- Professional social workers assist individuals, groups, or communities to restore or enhance their capacity for social functioning, while creating societal conditions favorable to their goals. The practice of social work requires knowledge of human development and behavior, of social, economic and cultural institutions, and of the interaction of all these factors.
- According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), social work is one of the fastest growing careers in the United States. The profession is expected to grow by 30% by 2010; currently, nearly 600,000 people hold social work degrees.
- Social workers are highly trained and experienced professionals. Only those who have earned social work degrees at the bachelor's, master's or doctoral levels, and completed a minimum number of hours in supervised fieldwork, are "professional social workers."
- According to the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE), 22,163 junior and senior students were enrolled in baccalaureate social work programs in 2000; there were also 20,369 full-time and 13,446 part-time students enrolled in master's degree programs. In the same year, 15,007 individuals graduated with MSW degrees and 11,773 graduated with BSW degrees. In addition, 229 doctoral degrees in social work were awarded in 2000. Currently there are over 8,000 social work professors teaching in the United States.
- Social workers help people overcome some of life's most difficult challenges: poverty, discrimination, abuse, addiction, physical illness, divorce, loss, unemployment, educational problems, disability, and mental illness. They help prevent crises and counsel individuals, families, and communities to cope more effectively with the stresses of everyday life.
- Professional social workers are found in every facet of community life—in schools, hospitals, mental health clinics, senior centers, elected office, private practices, prisons, military, corporations, and in numerous public and private agencies that serve individuals and families in need. They often specialize in one or more of the following practice areas:
Community Mental HealthEmployee Assistance
- According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), professional social workers are the nation's largest group of mental health services providers. There are more clinically trained social workers—over 190,000 in 1998—than psychiatrists, psychologists, and psychiatric nurses combined. Federal law and the National Institutes of Health recognize social work as one of five core mental health professions.
- Over 40% of all disaster mental health volunteers trained by the American Red Cross are professional social workers.
- "There are over 170 social workers in national, state and local elected office, including two U.S. Senators and seven U.S. Representatives. These include: Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Rep. Ciro D. Rodriguez (D-TX), Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), Rep. Ed Towns (D-NY), Rep. Allyson Schwartz (D-PA), Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-NH), Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), and Rep. Susan Davis (D-CA)."
- Today, 48 special interest social work organizations contribute to the vitality and credibility of the social work profession.

GAP funding stems from the 1992 Indian Environmental General Assistance Program Act, in which Congress gave the EPA authority to provide federally recognized tribes and tribal groups with funding for environmental protection programs. The funding can also go toward solid and hazardous waste programs in Indian lands. While GAP grants are primarily used to develop core tribal environmental protection programs, it can also be used for environmental training or conducting community research.
The Jena Band of Choctaw Indians will the funding for the administration of their environmental programs and to develop multimedia programs that will be employed in the tribe's efforts to address environmental issues.

The stores are slated to close in late March; liquidation sales are scheduled to start in two weeks, the company said Friday.
Sears announced Friday that it is closing 80 more stores, including the one on East North Street.
Sears associates were told December 27 and liquidation sales are expected to begin in two weeks.
The bankrupt company set 4 pm ET Friday as the deadline for potential buyers to bid for Sears' assets. The Columbus store is not on the Sears Holdings list of those to be closed.
Representatives for Sears, based in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, and for Bank of America declined to comment.
According to a news release from Sears, the retailer informed employees of the closure on Thursday. Sears Holdings filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in October.
Five Things That Have Gone Wrong For Manchester City
Manchester City'were left to contemplate another Premier League defeat as they were beaten by Leicester (Nick Potts/PA). Both teams have +36, with Spurs lagging some way off on +24.
Sears has suffered for years, as USA consumers increasingly turned their backs on brick-and-mortar stores.
Sears stores in Novi and Muskegon will close in MI.
Sears received a reprieve from liquidation after chairman Edward Lampert made a $4.4 billion bid to buy it at the last minute.
A bid that would keep Sears in business also gives lenders who aren't first in line to be repaid a shot at retrieving a larger portion of what they're owed. "We continue to believe that Sears' integrated and complementary businesses and brands can form the framework of a successful platform after emerging from bankruptcy". Sears' corporate headquarters was not answering further questions, either. Most of the 80 stores will shut down by late March.
Sears sold everything from Craftsman tools to Kenmore appliances, but it lost its footing in the 1980s with expansions into financial products such as banking, mortgages, insurance and credit cards.
