So here you are, post bankruptcy with a terrible credit score. The thing that sucks is that regardless of why you filed bankruptcy or that you had excellent credit score prior to filing, a bankruptcy on your credit report is devastating.
Unfortunately the mathematical algorithm is used to calculate your credit score is not subjective and does not care that you always paid your bills on time or that your business went under because of the economy. You are thrown into the category of fiscally irresponsible anyway and must dutifully fight your way out.
Since the idea is to get back on your feet ASAP, the first item on your agenda post bankruptcy should be immediately immediately repair your credit score. Yes, the bankruptcy is on your credit report for up to ten years, however, that should not stop you from aggressively pursuing a better credit rating starting NOW!
Let's review quickly (because you can find this information anywhere on the web) just exactly what makes up your credit score in the first place.
- Your payment record . Pay on time = good. Pay late = bad.
- Length of credit history . The longer you have had a credit history the better.
- Amount you owe versus credit available . Low balances with high credit available = good. High balances with no credit available (maxed out) = bad.
- Kind of credit . Various types of credit (install, auto, mortgages, credit cards) = good. Few kinds of credit (only credit cards for example) = bad.
- Credit inquires . Rate shopping or shopping for a car are supposedly do not have a negative impact; shopping for a multiple credit cards may be a sign that you are financial distress.
Now most people of reasonable intelligence have a basic understanding of what makes up a good credit score. Pay your bills on time and do not max out your credit cards and lines of credit. But where should you start when trying to repair your credit from a devastating banking?
A good place to start is with item number three from the list above. Getting new credit can be tricky after you file, but it can be done. DO NOT GIVE UP. Search online for credit card companies that offer credit cards to people who have a bankruptcy on their record. Use the card regularly, make your payments on time, do not max it out and do not always pay it down to zero (leave $ 20 or so as a balance).
I was surprised to find (and be accepted for) a credit card through Orchard Bank that offered reasonable terms and no security deposit. Granted they only cave us $ 300 credit, but you have to start somewhere!
After a few months (being careful not to have too many credit inquires), apply for another card. Gas cards and in-store cards may also be easier to obtain post bankruptcy. Keep building your available credit while keeping your balances low.
Being careful not to only have credit cards as your only source of credit, you might want to explore adding another kind of loan into the mix. For example a small installment loan or auto loan with a co-signer would be a good place to start.
Start taking these small steps immediately; do not hesitate for one minute. Start rebuilding today and take advantage of the new start you have been given!

Just who was that mysterious priest living a quiet life in Equador? Could he have been Adolf Hitler?
He'd seen the world. But as soon as he arrived in Cuenca, retired American Lieutenant Colonel Wendelle Stephens knew it was different.
Nestled in the remote highlands of Ecuador, Cuenca is a small town surrounded by the archeological remains of ancient American people.
But it wasn't the dead that fascinated Stephens about Cuenca. It was the living – and one living man in particular.
When Stephens had first travelled through Cuenca on holiday in 1981, he'd met an old priest – 87-year-old Father Crespi.
Years before, Father Crespi taken a vow of poverty.
It meant his toes poked through the holes in his shoes and his long, white beard was tangled and unkempt.
But the people of Cuenca loved little Father Crespi.
'What little money I give to the poor is all they have,' Father Crespi told Stephens
Stephens was intrigued.
Father Crespi had nothing. How could he afford to help anyone else?
The priest's answer was simple. Local tribes people had given him many artefacts of gold and precious stones. These he used to help the poor.
He took Stephens into the first of a series of connected rooms to see some.
Stephens asked what was kept in the rooms beyond.
All of a sudden, Father Crespi was flustered. He tried to wave Stephens out of the church.
But Stephens snuck past, and what he saw in the rooms beyond left him speechless.
Thousands of paintings, presumably worth millions.
The priest said he'd once helped an old man who'd been dying. The man had turned out to be a millionaire art collector. And he'd left his art collection to Father Crespi.
Stephens wasn't convinced.
Back in the US a few months on, he paid a visit to a woman called Magda Stapleford.
Now widowed, German Magda had married an American man at the end of the Second World War, a friend of Stephens.
Stevens told her about Crespi and described the paintings.
One of the descriptions made Magda draw a sharp breath.
A young, round-faced shepherd boy, on his left a sheep, on his right a staff with a ribbon on it.
'It was his favourite,' she said.
Before she'd started working against the Nazis in 1944, she'd been one of Germany's top intelligence agents.
She'd seen that painting many times hanging in its owner's office.
And that owner was Adolf Hitler.
The priest's name also interested Magda greatly.
Crespi was an alias Hitler had used in the early 1940s.
And Father Crespi always walked with his hands behind his back – just like Hitler had.
But how was it possible?
Everyone knew Hitler had shot himself at the end of the war , then his closest aides had doused his body in petrol and burned it.
But what if it had been a body double?
Magda thought Hitler had been planning an escape for years.
In 1943, three high-ranking Nazi officials had visited Magda's father. He'd been a well-known cosmetic surgeon.
He was told to make the men look different, and that no records were to be kept.
After, the three men were taken off to a submarine and never seen again.
Was one of the men Hitler?
Soon after the operations, Magda's father had been murdered.
Silenced by the Nazi regime?
One thing's for certain. After that date in 1943, Hitler never spoke in public again.
Had the real Hitler escaped Europe, leaving behind a body double?
All Stephens could do was find out everything he could about the mysterious Father Crespi…
Father Crespi was from an Italian-Austrian family, and he'd arrived as a novice priest at the Vatican in 1943 – the last year Hitler was seen.
He'd worked cataloguing the Vatican art collection, and was soon found a parish in distant, inaccessible Ecuador.
Meanwhile, WWII survivors struggled to come to terms with what had happened at Hitler's hands.
The extermination of millions in his concentration camps. Of the Jewish, the mentally ill, of gay people, of so-called gypsies and of his political opponents.
Now, it seemed to Stephens, Hitler was was alive and well in a small town on the other side of the world.
But in 1981, no one else would listen to Magda and Stephens' theory.
A decade later, in 1993, Father Crespi died.
If Crespi and Hitler had been one and the same, he'd have been 104 years old.
And when Crespi died, the mystery only deepened.
Soon after, local people claimed two cargo jets landed in Cuenca, loaded up with Father Crespi's European art collection and left.
That art has never been seen since.
Father Crespi was buried in a white marble crypt – hardly in keeping with his vows of poverty. And several European dignitaries, all with an armed guard, were at the service.
In the years since he died, Father Crespi's crypt has been cleaned and adorned with flowers every week – all paid for by anonymous donations.
If Hitler had escaped, it's possible he lived the quiet life of a priest for nearly 50 years.
But if he shot himself in the head, it amounts to pretty much the same thing.
Adolf Hitler escaped justice.
What history says:
Before killing himself on 30 April 1945, Hitler gave strict instructions that his body should be burned. Four days later, Soviet troops found the charred remains of what they believed to be Hitler and his wife, Eva. Their bodies were identified by dental records, but these were dental records drawn from memory by a dental nurse who had cleaned Hitler's teeth only twice.
In 1970, Soviet authorities decided to dispose of the bodies for once and for all, burying them in a secret location. A fragment of skull believed to be Hitler's was later found, but DNA tests in 2000 showed it to be from a 20-year-old woman.

Telecommunication Business Grants
The U.S. Department of Commerce National Telecommunications and Information Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service are the principal funding sources for telecommunication business grants. NITA funds business grants for metropolitan areas under the Broadband Technologies Opportunity Program, while RUS funds similar grants for rural communities under the Community Connect program. For-profit and nonprofit entities are eligible for funding under both BTOP and Community Connect programs.
NTIA BTOP Program
According to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance NTIA grant availabilities, the BTOP program remains active as of early June 2012. Other NTIA grant programs are either non-bid special projects, or are closed to new applicants. Funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, BTOP is a $4 billion competitive grant program "to increase broadband access and adoption; provide broadband training and support to schools, libraries, healthcare providers, and other organizations in under-served communities across the country; promote job growth; and generally improve education, health care, and public safety. BTOP projects install broadband Internet infrastructure, enhance and expand public computer centers, and encourage the sustainable adoption of broadband service."
BTOP Grant Guidelines
Visit the NTIA Grant Guidelines website to obtain a copy of "Grant Guidelines for the Recovery Act Broadband Technologies Opportunity Program." This 118-page document provides guidance on eligibility and applying for three different competitive grants under the BTOP program: Broadband Infrastructure grants, Public Computer Center grants and Sustainable Adoption grants. Each grant requires unique capabilities your business must possess to qualify as a grant applicant. NTIA periodically announces new BTOP grant funding through a Notice of Funds Available. Look for new funding announcements on the NTIA website.
RUS Community Connect Program
The Community Connect program serves rural communities having populations less than 20,000 where broadband service is not available. Projects funded by Community Connect grants build broadband infrastructure and establish community centers that offer free public access. As with BTOP grants, Community Connect grants are competitive grants, which are open to for-profit and nonprofit entities alike.
Community Connect Notice of Funds Available
RUS releases a Notice of Funds Available for new rounds of Community Connect grants. You'll find specific funding information and application requirements in the current version of the Federal Register. You can also view the Community Connect application guide on the USDA Rural Development website.
Other Telecommunication Business Grant Opportunities
NTIA and RUS are the dominant funding sources for telecommunication grants offered by all levels of government. However, other government agencies may offer telecommunication grants aligned with the expertise of your business from time to time. It is useful to note that most government and private sector grants are typically offered only to other government agencies and to IRS-certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit entities. This is why the BTOP and Community Connect programs are quite popular with for-profit business entities. Visit the Grants.gov website for a complete listing of telecommunications and similar grants offered by 26 grant-making federal agencies.

*Transgression - Thus Says The Lord AGAINST Man's Holidays! (voice & fx)
THUS SAYS THE LORD: This world has altogether become a house of harlots, who continually go out to commit fornication with the unclean and revel in their adulteries against God, altogether forsaking Him who I sent to them so they may turn away from their ways and become completely clean...none of these have harkened. They remain shackled to this world and its fornications of sin, intermingling honor with dishonor, praise with blasphemy, and sin with purity. Woe! My children, you have all fallen into the snare of the devil. Can you not see, My children? Open your eyes and read the writing set forth in stone, written by the hand of God, the everlasting Law etched with burning fire, blazing as a torch so you may not stumble in the darkness which surrounds you... I shall speak plainly, so those slow to understanding may hear, though their ears are dull and their eyes are dim. These modern holidays, Christmas, Easter and Halloween, are abomination in the eyes of the Lord God Almighty. I shall destroy them and wipe them from the face of the whole earth! No more shall you break My commands, and revel in sin, in the Sons name. My countenance is turned against you! says the Lord of Hosts. ~ http://www.TrumpetCallofGodOnline.com

Triads Run £1billion Scots Cannabis Industry
Nov 20 2007
By Tom Hamilton
A TOP cop last night told of his fears that Scotland has become a haven for drug-running Triad gangs.
Detective Chief Superintendent Stevie Whitelock, head of intelligence at Strathclyde Police, said: "Organised criminals have turned Scotland into a cannabis greenhouse."
Up to £1billion of the drug is being cultivated every year in houses and warehouses converted into drug farms by a large-scale organised crime gang linked to south-east Asia.
The farms are manned by illegal immigrants, locked in properties 24 hours a day, in temperatures exceeding 38C.
In the past 12 months, 33,000 plants worth £40million have been seized.
But police say this is just the tip of the iceberg.
They believe much of the cannabis is being exported overseas by the Chinese-Vietnamese crime group.
Law enforcement sources also believe the profits are being channeled back to south-east Asia where the cash is laundered in tourism.
Mr Whitelock said: "In addition to being a consumer market for drugs, Scotland has become a drug producer."
In the past 12 months, 61 cannabis factories have been busted in Strathclyde alone, with 70 in Scotland in total, resulting in 51 arrests.
But there is no evidence of the cannabis being sold on the streets of Scotland.
Mr Whitelock said: "It has been sent elsewhere. We are producing cannabis for the UK, Europe and probably further a field.
"In effect, organised crime groups are using Scotland as a greenhouse."
The Scots-grown cannabis contains almost seven times more of the dangerous chemical THC than foreign imports.
And while seizures are up, it is feared huge quantities - up to £1billion a year - are exported undiscovered.
The industry has shown a remarkable growth since a cannabis farm was found in the Kilmarnock area last year.
Within a short time, there were more busts in Lanarkshire, Paisley and Glasgow.
The farms are often in quiet suburban areas, typically on new housing estates.
Mr Whitelock said: "They are very shrewd. They are using new houses in suburban areas where there's often no sense of neighbourhood.
"They rent properties for six months, pay cash up front to the landlord and invest £20 to £30,000 on equipment.
"Then they bring in the Vietnamese farmers.
"Some know what they're coming for. Others come here thinking they have a promise of a legitimate job and end up being modern-day slaves."
Police are confident the same crime group is responsible because of similarities in electrical work and joinery they have found in their raids.
The cannabis farms need vast amounts of heat and light.
The gang's electrical specialists plug directly into the mains supply - stealing electricity from the suppliers.
Mr Whitelock added: "They use around 20 times the power used for a normal house to grow the cannabis.
The cost to power companies is thought to be around £2million a year.
"They have to recover the money some way. And that affects everyone - because it goes on everyone's power bill."
The costs to landlords are also immense because the farmers cause thousands of pounds worth of damage to the rented properties.
The intelligence chief said: "When they pack up, they leave the interior of the house like a demolition site."
So far, two key players in the gang have been jailed.
Sai Yau Shek, 53 - who ran operations in Ayrshire - has been caged for three years and nine months. And Jian He, 29, who has links with Triad gangs, was recently sentenced to five years and three months.
The group have also spread their tentacles into illegal trafficking of women sex slaves and the supply and sale of counterfeit DVDs.
Operation League - aiming to tackle cannabis cultivators - is now entering its second year.
Mr Whitelock added: "They have no respect for life. There has been great progress.
"But we will not let up. There can be no complacency." He says the public response has been astonishing.
He added: "Of the 61 raids, a third have been due to people calling and mentioning Operation League specifically."
There are signs that profits are being laundered into legitimate businesses.
A source said: "There have been substantial quantities of our bank notes in Vietnam.
"There is only one conclusion, given the scale of the Scottish cannabis farmers.
"Investigators believe cash from Scotland is being cleaned through investment in Vietnam's tourist industry."

Grizzly 2014 - how the Honiton runners fared
PUBLISHED: 18:59 10 March 2014 | UPDATED: 19:00 10 March 2014
As usual Honiton Running Club was extremely well represented at last weekend's Grizzly events, writes Judy Davey.
The race was about 19-and-a-haf miles long and just for a change the weather was beautiful!
The sun shone and there was a cool breeze enjoyed by runners. There was still plenty of mud and the bogs were taxing as usual. There were the infamous challenging hills but some of these led to breathtaking views. There were several stretches of beech running which take their toll on already tired muscles. There were plenty of Honiton Grizzly first timers and plenty who had run it many times before. Kevin Hawker was first back for Honiton in an amazing time of two hours 44 minutes coming 27th. Ian Stewart had a cracking run finishing in 2:49 in 41st place.
Ben Stone told his wife he'd be back in three hours and he was – just; he finished in 2:59:59 in 90th place! Fran Bond was first lady back for Honiton and eighth lady overall to finish 124th in 3:04.
The next few Honiton runners tussled for positions throughout ending up just five minutes apart with Steve Davey coming 181st in 3:13, Alasdair Moffett 186th in 3:14, Hadleigh Davies 188th in 3:15, Chris Entwistle 206th in 3:16 and Richard Harvey 215th in 3:18.
Vernon Gillard in a very ungentlemanly fashion overtook Judy Davey on the finish straight coming 279th in 3:24 with Judy one place and five seconds later. Tom Bornet had struggled with the latter part of the race, but finished within a minute of Judy in 289th place.
Steve Boyes followed coming 356th in 3:32. Suzanne Spiller had run the first 15 miles with her husband before leaving him behind to come 593rd in 3:49 beating Mark Dallyn by one minute and Simon, her husband, by four minutes. Anthony Rowe followed in 697th place in 3:56. Helen Davy ran with her sister and finished 806th in 4:04. This was Howard Bidmead's 17th Grizzly and he said days before the event that it may be his last.
He's now decided, he'll try for 20! He came 817th in 4:05. Esme Wilson found the race very tough coming 897th in 4:11 followed one minute later by Steve Briggs who has been fighting an injury. He came 914th. Louise Crisp followed 1010th in 4:21 and Lesley Crocker was back running for Honiton having moved out of the area. She was 1051st in 4:24. Linda Pike followed one minute later in 1082nd place. Carol Turnham came 1290th in 4:47, Katy Campbell 1350th in 4:56 and Jo Taylor 1391st in 5:04. The race was won by Ceri Rees in the incredible time of 2:20 and there were 1541 finishers.
Several Honiton runners took the shorter and arguably slightly easier option of the Cub. This is about nine miles long and has all the challenges of the main run without the bog. Clare Melbourne was first back for Honiton coming 135th in 1:44. Denis Costello was delighted to be taking part after being told by a specialist that an injury would never allow him to run again. Ignoring the advice, he got himself fit and was very proud to take part and absolutely delighted with his 138th place in 1:45. Pete Lyus has taken part in the Grizzly or Cub many times before and was pleased to come 189th in 1:51.
Mark Andow had swapped from the Grizzly that morning and managed to finish just under two hours in 255th place. Val Hales was 303rd in 2:05 and Wendy Williams was 307th in 2:05. Sara Trumper only started running last year and finished 375th in 2:19. The race was won by Arran Tocknell in 1:01 and there were 415 runners.
Some of the club's younger runners took part in the Saturday events including Jasmine Stone, Charlie and Ben Entwistle and Max and Ella Spiller.
Thank you to AVR for putting on such a well organised great event. Thanks also to the entertainers, land owners, sponsors and marshals who offered much needed encouragement and flap jack and jelly babies at regular intervals.

Welcome back to another Friday Flashback, taking a look back at some of my favourite classic collections.
This week I am bringing you the Bearing Love collection.
I am loving looking back at different designs, and being able to see as I learnt new techniques in digitising. I am also finding that as I am taking an in-depth look back, I am re-visiting some of these techniques for new collections. For the Bearing Love collection, it was all about the furry jagged outline, giving the impression of real fur. I also love the delicacy of the stitching on the hearts and wings of the bears. It really does give an impression of sweetness, whilst still adding colour.
As always, this collection started off with falling in love with a set of artwork, and these chubby bears were just the thing.
I wanted to create a collection that was perfect for a baby's bedroom, and that was quick to stitch out. I am still so happy with this result.
There are 18 different designs in the Bearing Love collection (22 designs, however a few merge together to create 1 actual design). I found once I began, I could not stop. And the exact same thing happened once I began creating projects for this collection.
I started with the quilt. Initially I had simply planned to make a wall-hanging quilt for a child's room, however as the quilt took shape, I felt that I just had to continue. I then added an upper and lower panel, which would have made it a lap rug size, and then finally added the last two panels making it single bed size.
The quilt came together for me in a single weekend. I can remember sitting at the sewing machine on a Sunday afternoon, and asking the wonderful Edward to put dinner on so that I could do some of the quilting to finish the quilt off.
Once the quilt was complete, I was on a roll, and found myself creating a pillowcase (the kids still use this one), a library bag, wallhanging, tissue box, towel, photo album, table runner and pyjama bag. So many of these samples are still in my sample boxes, and I really love looking at them throughout the years.
At the time of creating this collection, I hadn't heard of a product called Iridescent Embroidery Film, or Mylar. However this is one of those collections that easily lends itself to the medium. The Iridescent Embroidery Film would so easily work under the wings and hearts, adding to the overall look of the designs.
Initially we gave away a double heart design (available HERE) as a freebie with the Bearing Love designs. As a thank you to all of our loyal customers, for the next week we are also offering a second Bearing Love design, one of these amazing teddies, as a free download. Simply click HERE to collect your copy.
Thank you for taking this trip down memory lane with me, I hope you have enjoyed looking at this collection, and that it has inspired you to stitch for a loved one.
Until next time, have a Stitchin' Day. Julie.

Chinese checkers; Checking out Skype; JTRS in plain English
"DOD to conduct security standdown"
"Can only you hear me now?"
Chinese checkers
Chinese President Hu Jintao made nice with Bill Gates during his U.S. visit last week. He promised that companies in his country would engage in a novel practice — buying rather than pirating Microsoft software. Microsoft estimates that 90 percent of its software used in China is pirated.
We suggest Hu make nice with the Defense Department by halting probes of DOD networks, such as the large-scale scans of Marine Corps networks in Okinawa and southern California earlier this year.
We picked up reports that the Marines detected more than 30,000 FTP scan and access attempts against those networks over a short period. All those probes traced back to Chinese IP addresses.
At about the same time, the Joint Task Force-Global Network Operations detected malicious e-mail sent to DOD users. Each message had a Word attachment containing a macro that could automatically change or delete files or cause a computer to communicate with an outside Web site. In this case, JTF-GNO found that the macro would tell an infected computer to phone home to a Chinese IP address.
Because China maintains tight control of its Internet domains — with gear purchased from blue chip U.S. network hardware companies — it's hard to imagine those probes were conducted by bored Chinese teenagers.
Call me a cynic — or a realist — but I bet those probes were conducted by Chinese military or intelligence agencies, although Hu might have persuaded those Chinese network checkers to knock it off during his visit last week.
Checking out Skype
Sometimes DOD needs to defend its networks from themselves.
Although running commercial peer-to-peer applications is supposed to be a real no-no on DOD networks, the JTF found earlier this year that several Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) and Marine Corps hosts had installed and were using the Skype P2P voice-over-IP application.
Skype has at least three known vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit to execute malicious codes. But the JTF determined that the culprits were not PFCs looking for a way to make cheap phone calls. Marines were running an official test to see if Skype would be a good VOIP solution.
The Marine Corps Computer Emergency Response Team, we hear, quickly put an IP block on Marine networks to block connections to the Skype site.
One wonders why the Marines don't just follow the lead of the Naval Sea Systems Command HQ at the Washington Navy Yard, which has 4,500 Cisco VOIP seats and 1,736 Avaya seats on NMCI at a cost of $1.4 million for fiscal 2006.
JTRS in plain English
We salute Vic Popik, ops director for the Joint Tactical Radio System Program Executive Office at the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, for doing something never done in the troubled project's history — explaining its problems and deficiencies in plain English without bureaucratic doublespeak.
Popik, in a presentation to an industry gathering last month, said JTRS development and fielding suffered because of:
That's not all, folks. Popik said a major problem with JTRS was that DOD originally conceived of it as a legacy radio replacement program but then let it evolve into a network-centric radio program without considering the impact.
When Popik finishes his Spawar work, we would like to see him take a similar approach to the delayed and over-budget Transformational Satellite program, which we predict will turn into the JTRS of this decade.

Sweet Autumn Clematis
I have a Sweet Autumn Clematis vine on the fence by our driveway. Every September, I'm amazed when it blooms. It's a beautiful vine, very vigorous. It covers a good part of the fence and grows almost to the top of the dogwood tree nearby.
I noticed this year that the bees LOVE it as well.
One reason I like this clematis is because it blooms when a lot of other things are fading. It's a crisp white & green among all the brown in the garden!
What's blooming in your garden right now? Any great fall blooming plants you'd recommend?Filed under Flowers | Comments (7)

A dog called depression is biting my heals. Feeling tired and teary for no apparent reason seems to be a regular occurrence recently. This is often followed by playing music, dancing, blogging or hiding out in bed just to feel a little sense of normality or comfort. Today I was tired, really tired and noticeably so. The first thing my sister said on seeing me was wow you look tired and she NEVER says that so it must be bad. I have terrible insomnia, I could blame Little Man for being a bad sleeper but even long after he is asleep I'm still up, reading, staring at my ceiling, playing candy crush or thinking about anything and everything under the sun that I need to do between now and the end of life!
No doubt over the next couple of days I will forget feeling down and put all my energy into some project or another. The children will jump on my back (the teen still tries to do this despite only being a couple of inches smaller than me) and they will remind me of a beautiful purpose I have. Being there mum is tough and I often wish I could press the pause button on motherhood, live a little then jump back in. But in all reality as quickly as I pressed pause I would start to miss them and want to be back being mum again.
Tonight I must try to go to sleep early, I want to feel human again.

Most of us were raised and have lived our lives on a hefty dose of External Control Psychology. Our parents, neighbors, teachers, bosses knew what was good and right for us and told us what to do. They lovingly (or not so lovingly) criticized and corrected us in an effort to help us improve. "Constructive Criticism." Right. As children, when we asked "why," an adult often answered, "because I said so," wiping out any chance of discussion.
William Glasser's Choice Theory is opposite to External Control Psychology. The philosophy and language of Choice Theory invite conversation and therefore understanding. If people can work together to come up with a mutually-satisfying solution, both feel heard and validated. The bond between them tightens.
Here's an example of each way to approach an issue:
Parent Using External Control Psychology: "You never wear your boots in bad weather. I'm tired of telling you over and over to put them on. You get sick, then I have to miss work to take care of you. You never think about anybody but yourself!" (Deadly habits: criticizing, nagging, blaming)
Parent using Choice Theory: "I'm concerned about your having wet feet or becoming sick in this bad weather. Let's talk about how we can both be satisfied with the boot situation. Tell me, is there a reason why you don't like to wear your boots?"(Caring habits: listening, respecting, negotiating to a win-win)
One approach assaults and diminishes. The other respects and empowers.
In dealing with others, we need to try eliminating the "Seven Deadly Habits" of criticizing, blaming, complaining, nagging, threatening, punishing, or rewarding to control (bribing).
Practicing the "Seven Caring Habits" of supporting, encouraging, listening, accepting, trusting, respecting, and negotiating differences (to a win-win) makes a huge difference in relationships.
Instead of pushing them away, we want to keep those whom we love and need close to us. Which of the deadly habits might you cut out today? Which of the caring habits might you begin to use even more than you do now?

On this 1st day of the 1st month of a new year, people everywhere are taking their 1st steps on a new journey, towards a new goal.
Or maybe it's not a new goal. Maybe it's an old goal. Maybe it's something you have always wanted that has always eluded you. No matter. If today is a 1st day for you, you are in good company.
The "fresh start feeling" of a new year is a post-holiday reflex. It's practically automatic.
Visions are clear.
Goals are set.
Intentions are focused.
Even if you haven't resolved to change. Even if you haven't set any goals to lose weight or get in shape, the idea may be on your mind, even if it's the back of your mind.
If that "fresh start feeling" is on your mind today, I invite you to make a promise to yourself. I invite you to make a pledge to…
What does that mean? Fitness is healthy. Everyone knows that fitness is healthy. Health & fitness go together like peanut butter & jelly, milk & cookies, bacon & eggs…you get the idea.
We think of health and fitness as inseparable BFFs. But there's a problem with that assumption. And it's as common as the fresh start reflex.
We know what happens to New Year's Resolutions. The shine fades. Plans get derailed. Often before the end of January. And nobody is surprised. Things go back to normal.
I think you know where this is going…
Have you, or someone you know, ever set a diet, exercise or fitness goal that you knew – with every muscle fiber of your being – wasn't healthy? Your mind was stoked but your gut was screaming NOOOOOOO!!!
Starting today, I'm going to the gym every day.
I need to lose 10 pounds…in 7 days.
I'm not getting results. Time to double my workouts.
No more desserts. Ever!
From now on I only eat clean and train dirty.
I shouldn't have had those drinks and desserts. Now I need to punish myself with exercise.
Making the pledge to Keep Fitness Healthy means resisting all of the usual temptations that set people up to fail. And make no mistake, fitness failure is the norm. Statistics in national health reports bear this out year after year. So do anecdotal reports. It's so common we hardly notice when it happens. We go right back to normal.
To stay on a healthy fitness track this year you need to avoid these common pitfalls:
Quick Fixes
Simple Solutions
Unrealistic Goals
Unbalanced programs.
Trade these temptations for a realistic fitness plan that is balanced. Set long-term, achievable goals. Then add daily or weekly action steps. Plan for setbacks. Plan how you will get over them and get back on track. Be kind to yourself along the way. There is no finish line. A healthy fitness plan is a lifelong journey with lifelong benefits.
These ideas probably don't sound new. They aren't. They don't come with glamour and sex appeal. They are not clickbait.
But they are vital to the health of your fitness plan.


text: 11/15/2016 I recently learned that several of our Muslim women students were approached by several men, who then demanded that the women remove their hijabs. This intrusion took place on our campus. Let me be clear. This type of behavior is abhorrent and will not be tolerated at UW Bothell. This is not only a violation of the women's right to practice their faith, it is also a clear violation of our values at UW Bothell. In addition, such an act may be potentially a criminal assault, and a hate crime. This is a serious offense. We will not tolerate this kind of behavior. You should not tolerate it either. If you see it, or experience it, report it. Tell someone—a friend, a faculty member, Safe Campus, or Campus Safety, so that we can aggressively follow up. UW Bothell is in the process of creating a bias response form for anyone on campus who has experienced, or been a witness to, an incident of bias or discrimination. This form will be available to the campus community within the next few days. We will work to ensure this community lives up to our commitment to being an open, inclusive, welcoming and safe campus.

Stocks pop in early trading
Investors look past reports on jobless claims, wholesale prices.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Stocks gained early Thursday, bouncing off 3-month lows, as investors took abysmal readings on wholesale inflation and jobless claims in stride.
The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) added 40 points, or 0.6%, in the early going. The Standard & Poor's 500 (SPX) index added 8 points, or 1%. The Nasdaq composite (COMP) added 16 points, or 1.1%.
On Wednesday, stocks finished little changed in the wake of the Federal Reserve's downward revision of its economic forecast and President Obama's $75 billion housing bailout proposal.
Asian stocks closed higher, with Japan's Nikkei index up 0.3%. European markets were higher in afternoon trading.
Economy: The government said the initial jobless claims totaled 627,000 in the week ended Feb. 14, unchanged from the prior week's revised figure.
That was more than expected. Jobless claims were expected to total 620,000 in the week ended Feb. 14, according to a consensus of economists surveyed by Briefing.com.
In a separate report, the government said wholesale prices rose 0.8% in January, much higher than the 0.3% increase expected in a consensus of economists surveyed by Briefing.com. Producer prices fell 1.9% in December.
The core PPI, which excludes the volatile energy and food costs, rose 0.4% in January, the government said. That was higher than the expected 0.1% increase, according to the Briefing.com consensus. The January increase follows a gain of 0.2% the prior month.
The Energy Information Administration releases its weekly report on U.S. crude inventories at 11 a.m. ET. Analysts polled by research firm Platts forecast a rise of 3.5 million barrels for oil and a drop of 1 million barrels for gasoline.

Companies: Late Wednesday, computer products maker Hewlett-Packard (HPQ, Fortune 500), a Dow component, cut its outlook for its full fiscal year after revenue in the quarter ended Jan. 31 missed expectations. HP's per-share earnings for the quarter matched forecasts. HP shares fell nearly 8% Thursday morning.
Sprint Nextel (S, Fortune 500) reported its fourth-quarter results, with a better-than-expected net loss of 1 cent per share. The telecom was expected to report a loss of 3 cents per share, according to a consensus of analyst forecasts compiled by Thomson Reuters. Shares rose 16% in morning trading.
CVS (CVS, Fortune 500) reported adjusted earnings of 70 cents per share, which was better than the expected 69 cents per share Thomson Reuters consensus. Shares gained 7%.

BALTIMORE – A Maryland man was sentenced Wednesday to 18 months in prison followed by a year of supervised release for conspiring to commit immigration fraud.
Gasim Manafov, 36, of Ocean City, Md., and Charlotte, N.C., was sentenced by U.S. District Judge James K. Bredar, following an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Baltimore County Police Department.
"Benefit fraud poses a severe threat to national security and public safety because it creates a vulnerability that may enable terrorists, criminals, and illegal aliens to gain entry to and remain in the United States under a guise of legitimacy," said HSI Ocean City Resident Agent in Charge Francis J. McGarvey. "HSI will work with our partners at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and the U.S. Attorney's Office in an effort to maintain the integrity of the immigration system by vigorously investigating and prosecuting individuals like Gasim Manafov, who try to exploit the asylum process."
According to his plea agreement, from 2007 to 2012, Manafov conspired with others in assisting approximately 70 individuals to fraudulently apply for asylum benefits. Manafov gave the individuals fake stories to describe how the applicant's family was purportedly hurt or killed due to political or ethnic affiliation. He provided fake foreign documents to prove these stories. Manafov prepared the applicants for interviews with officials, and attended the interviews. He also referred an applicant to a co-conspirator knowing that they would engage in a fraudulent marriage for immigration purposes, suggested that the applicant apply for immigration benefits in the Miami U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office to avoid the scrutiny he knew he was under in the Baltimore USCIS office, and coached the applicant on how to lie to officials interviewing her.
Manafov obtained $210,000 from the individuals fraudulently applying for asylum benefits.
Two other conspirators previously pleaded guilty to their roles in the conspiracy and were sentenced to one and three months in prison, respectively.
The case was prosecuted in the District of Maryland by Assistant U.S. Attorney Harry M. Gruber.

Chop chilli and garlic. Squeeze the lime. Place chili, garlic, sugar, lime juice, fish sauce, salt and water in a bowl, and beat them until it is a smooth sauce.
Place a pot with water on medium-high heat. When it starts boiling, add vermicelli and let them cook for 2 minutes. Then, remove them from the heat and place them in a bowl with cold water. Then, drain them.
When the broth is ready, remove the meat and let it cool. Strain the broth and place it again into the pot. Add 2 tablespoons of the fish sauce and place the pot on low heat.

These boots are on repeat. Again. They'll probably be on repeat again and again and again this f/w, so be prepared! I fell in love with these when they first came out last year. I seriously want them in every color, ahhhh! They're super gorgeous, flattering, durable and made extremely well.
I chose to get these OTK boots in navy blue because I thought black was too simple and plain (even tho I want them in black now!!). I went for a monochrome look because it makes the boots pop. I paired the outfit with a kids tulle skirt. Yes, you heard right, a kids skirt and an asymmetrical zip sweater. The sparkly tulle skirt is really playful and the sweater is unique so it gives the outfit that chic edge that's just my style!
This sweater was actually in the "Take to Goodwill" bag, but I decided to put it back in the closet.
I hope you enjoyed OTK Week. I'll probably do another OTK Week since I loove them so much and have my eyes on a few more styles. 😉 Happy weekend everyone!

Skirt: Forever 21, similar here and here

"We lead the world in computerized data collection!" -- Artie Bucco, The Sopranos
Before social media, before the internet, hell, before computers, there was a time where the "fingerprint" we left behind was essentially hand written documents, stories from loved ones, and yes, our actual fingerprint.
These days, though, for better or worse, there are so many other forms of remnant we leave behind when we are no longer around. (To be clear, for our purposes in this post, "no longer around" can mean "dead" or "incarcerated.") Every step we take on a computer, in a search engine, on Twitter -- they're around forever!
So when Aaron Hernandez gets sent away to prison, and we miss hearing his voice or hearing his musings, his memory endures in other non-imprisoned places.
Like Twitter!
While the actual person Aaron Hernandez remains behind bars in Suffolk County awaiting trial on three murders (and counting, I guess?), the Twitter version of Aaron Hernandez (at least the one that existed up until June 18, 2013, goes by the name @AaronHernandez) remains on the interwebs for us to relive the magic, a delightful 282 tweet blend of poor spelling, rampant retweet binges, and inspirational quotes.
Anytime someone like Hernandez reveals himself to be the alleged monster it appears he is, it's normal to go back and look at some of his figurative fingerprint (like Twitter) and see if we could retroactively piece together clues that should have warned us that he is capable of killing multiple people and compartmentalizing an NFL season in between.
That takes a special level of sociopath!
And I'll admit it, Twitter Aaron Hernandez seems to be, by and large, a pretty likable (albeit only moderately literate) fella! He is interactive, he is affable. Hell, by the time we get to the weeks leading up to the Odin Lloyd murder, he's a commercial and promotional machine. Like Rocky Balboa in the opening credits of Rocky III.
(One side bar: He was off Twitter altogether for about 50 days, from June 24, 2012 through August 13, 2012. As we now know, there was probably a reason. Two, actually.)
Going back now and reading the tweets, here are a small handful of them that are dripping with irony, in chronological order:
@quotz4u ya it was a tough loss but what don't kill u only make u stronger
— Aaron Hernandez (@AaronHernandez) December 23, 2011
Ah yes, but what do kill u, make u dead, Aaron.
Life isn't measured by the amount of breathes we take...it's the moments that take our breathe away!!
— Aaron Hernandez (@AaronHernandez) December 23, 2011
Man, that tweet reminds me of a couple of my favorite songs. Remember the Police's hit single "Every Breathe You Take"? Or that song from Top Gun "Take My Breathe Away"? Good tunes, man. You're right, Aaron. It is about the breathe taking moments.
Let's keep going... I like to RT this one on occasion just to scare everybody on Twitter....
One more day before I'm released from my cage
— Aaron Hernandez (@AaronHernandez) February 4, 2012
For a brief moment, you were terrified, right? It's ok, "YES!!!" is the correct answer.
Killer http://t.co/DK1U1gvW
— Aaron Hernandez (@AaronHernandez) February 4, 2012
File that last one under the hashtag #IronicRetroactiveSelfGlossTweet
Now for some sage advice one the way to bed. Keep this one in mind as Aaron Hernandez tries to defend his plea of "not guilty" for these three murders....
Good nite...I am going to bed... All a man has is his word!!!!
— Aaron Hernandez (@AaronHernandez) February 14, 2012
Uh huh.... Let's keep movin'....This next tweet came on Valentine's Day:
9 to 5 is how ya survive...I ain't tryin to survive..I'm tryin to live it to da limit an love it a lot!!! ( Jay z - D'evils )
— Aaron Hernandez (@AaronHernandez) February 14, 2012
Clearly, his mood indicates Hernandez had just gotten some V-Day nookie.
Yo @sergesejour I'm making up for missing your girl's @missjulesdc #Bday tonight!! Shots!!!!!
— Aaron Hernandez (@AaronHernandez) March 23, 2012
My conclusion -- Hernandez was far more benign and far less scary when "shots" meant "drinks," not "bullets."
Live it up live it up live it up
— Aaron Hernandez (@AaronHernandez) May 21, 2012
Hey, one "live it up" for each person Hernandez allegedly whacked!
These next two are intertwined, and probably enough reason for Rickie Fowler to seek government protection, considering how many people within arm's length of Hernandez wind up expiring early.....
Thanks @RickieFowlerPGA! U gotta help my golf game after u kill it @The_Masters. @PUMA already has me lookin the part pic.twitter.com/yM0tcSzIvP
— Aaron Hernandez (@AaronHernandez) April 10, 2013
Great start for my guy @RickieFowlerPGA! Keep killin it
— Aaron Hernandez (@AaronHernandez) April 11, 2013
More quoting of people with 100 more IQ points than Aaron Hernandez....

The Chechen rebel leader threatening to disrupt Sochi Olympics has reportedly been killed. While this is an excellent start, he is backed by many and his death will likely serve as a rallying cry (excuse) to continue the killing.
Doku Umarov, Top Chechen Rebel Leader Who Threatened Olympics, Reportedly Killed by Russian forces
CBS/AP January 17, 2014
MOSCOW — A Chechen rebel warlord who has plagued the region for decades and most recently threatened to attack the Sochi Olympics is dead, Chechnya's Kremlin-backed strongman said Thursday, but he offered no proof and his claim couldn't be verified.
Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov said on his Instagram that Doku Umarov, who urged his fighters to strike the Games, had died — a claim he has made repeatedly in the past. The information about Umarov's death came from intercepted communications between other rebel leaders who were discussing his replacement, he said, but he didn't make clear when the conversation took place or how it was heard.
This time, however, multiple messages on Chechen jihadist web forums – including an audio recording from top Islamic sharia judge Abu Mohammed Ali Daghestani, who is affiliated with Umarov's movement, confirmed his death.
Messages posted on Chechen militant blog sites suggested he was killed in an operation by Russian special forces, but none gave a time or specific place for the alleged killing.
According to Kadyrov, the insurgents are too busy trying to find a replacement to Umarov to pose any threat to the Olympics that start Feb. 7. "That's why all the talks about the threat to Sochi are absolutely groundless," he said.
The Interfax news agency quoted an unidentified source in Russian security agencies as saying they can't confirm Umarov's death.
Interfax also quoted Kadyrov as saying that Umarov's body hadn't been found but his forces were looking for it.
Umarov is the leader of the so-called Caucasus Emirate, a loose alliance of rebel groups seeking to create an independent Islamic state in Russia's North Caucasus.
He has claimed responsibility for numerous terror attacks in Russia, including suicide bombing in Moscow's Domodedovo airport in January 2011 that killed 37 people and injured more than 180, and twin suicide bombings on the Moscow subway in March 2010 that killed 40 people and wounded more than 120.
In 2012, Umarov ordered a halt to attacks on civilian targets during the mass demonstrations against Putin in the winter of 2011-12. He reversed that order last July, urging his men to "do their utmost to derail" the Sochi Olympics, which he described as "satanic dances on the bones of our ancestors."
Chechnya has become more stable under Kadyrov, who has used lavish Kremlin subsidies for a massive effort to rebuild the region, which was devastated by two separatist wars. He has relied on his feared security force including many former rebels that has been notorious for its brutality. But the insurgency has swept other Caucasus provinces, with Dagestan becoming the new epicenter of the rebellion with near daily shootings and bombings of police and other officials.
On Friday, Fatima Ubaidatova, a spokeswoman for the local police in Dagestan, said unidentified attackers fired a rocket-propelled grenade at a restaurant in the provincial capital, Makhachkala. No one was hurt, but when police arrived at the spot, a bomb placed in a car parked nearby went off. The explosion wounded nine people, including two police officers.
Concerns about the threat posed by the Islamist insurgency in the Caucasus were heightened by back-to-back suicide bombings in the city of Volgograd in southern Russia, which killed 34 and wounded 100 others, on Dec. 29-30. No one has claimed responsibility for the attacks.
Sochi organizers have introduced some of the most sweeping security measures for the Games, which are the top priority of President Vladiimir Putin's presidency. They include the deployment of tens of thousands of police, army troops and other security forces equipped with drones and other sophisticated gear. Anyone wanting to attend the games will have to buy a ticket online from the organizers and obtain a "spectator pass" for access. Doing so will require providing passport details that allow authorities to screen all visitors.

I figured I should post a review, since I haven't done that in a while, I don't think. (Ahem, Disclaimer: Spoilers Ahead!) Anyway…, yesterday I watched the movie "Belle":
Because I'm a Disney dunderhead, I thought this was supposed to be a sort of retelling of "Beauty and the Beast". I was wrong. I don't know why they even titled it Belle, because, yes the title girl's full name is Dido Elizabeth Belle Lindsay, but they call her Dido throughout the entire film. Were the makers of the movie worried that people would mispronounce the movie title if they had called it "Dido"? I don't know. I just think they could have picked a better title. Seriously, the title "Belle" is really confusing. At least, I think so.
Regardless, I found the film captivating. It covered issues that were present at the time, such as slavery of blacks in Britain, the difficulties of Dido growing up as a mulato English heiress (due to her white father, a Royal Navy officer, leaving her his pension after his death), and the struggles of aristocracy for a black woman in English society.
For example, Dido was seen as enough of an equal to dine with her white family in private (she lives with her great-uncle (the Lord Chief Justice and the 1st Earl of Mansfield, William Murray and aunt Elizabeth, and her cousin, Lady Elizabeth (Bet) Murray. (Quick backstory as to how Dido came to live with them: Dido's father had to go off on a naval excursion to the Indies and left her in the care of his uncle and aunt. Bet is the daughter of William and Elizabeth's nephew, who later in life becomes the 2nd Earl of Mansfield (although that is not covered in the movie) and sent to live with her uncle and aunt. She is already living there with them when Dido is brought in.)), however, when there are guests attending meals at the house, she must eat separately from her family, but could not dine with the servants, due to social protocol, so says her uncle. There is a quote in the movie where Dido asks (more or less like so): "How can I be ranked low enough that I cannot eat meals with my family and our guests, but ranked too high to dine with the servants?".
Anyway, it's a great period-piece in my opinion and you should watch it. If anything at all but for to watch it as a purely historical standpoint. Also, need I mention that Tom Felton is in it? He plays James Ashford. That's right, Draco Malfoy plays the son of an English Lord in this movie:
And, for any "Doctor Who" fans out there, Penelope Wilton plays Lady Mary Murray, the spinster sister of William Murray, I believe:
Well, there you have it. My review is that you should watch this movie. It's fantastic, dramatic, lovely, and all-around interesting. Watch it!
Look for my words again soon!

USF and the American Athletic Conference announced Monday the the Sept. 24 showdown between the Bulls and FSU will kick off at noon at Raymond James Stadium. ABC will televise the contest.
For those bemoaning the early start (and lack of prime tailgating time), consider the bright side: last year's Bulls-'Noles game in Tallahassee kicked off at 11:30 a.m.
The contest will be USF's sixth appearance on ABC, but first since its 27-25 loss to Louisville on Oct. 20, 2012.
The Bulls are 0-5 all-time on ABC regional broadcasts.

Back in February when 50 Shades of Grey was released in the Cinema it was warned that there would be a baby boom some 9 months later. It seems there is some truth to it if this week is anything to go by.
I have had lots of gorgeous babies in and still more due but I have also had calls, emails and a couple of people visit the studio wishing to book in for a newborn session with baby already over one or two weeks old. It is with a heavy heart I have to inform people that I have no current availability within the next week for newborn sessions due to my annual holiday and pre-booked pending arrivals.
It is never too early to book a newborn photographer.
Myself, and most Newborn photographers will take bookings from your 12 or 20 Week Scan and book in your session via your due date. This means that we have to take limited amount of due dates per week and month to accommodate early or late babies. This means that some months can be busier than others, but also it means that sometimes we can fit in bookings where baby has already arrived.
Most sessions are booked in around 10-14 days after the baby has arrived and involves informing your chosen photographer as soon as possible to give you the best choice of available dates within the timeframe.
Small Squishy Babies
Being a Newborn Photographer I will, where possible, photograph newborns up to 4 weeks, sometimes even 6 weeks. I understand that not everyone gets discharged from hospital straight away, needing medical attention or a little time on SCBU. I just advise to book in as soon as you can.
The age of the baby can make a difference to what type of poses or props that we are able to achieve and whether or not they will like it and settle - because babies can be fussy little things.
Timing is everything
Most Newborn Sessions can last 2-3 Hours. This depends on the photographer and each baby. However, this is a great time for you to sit back and rest whilst you get to see your chosen photographer take lots of gorgeous photographs of your little bundle. Feel free to bring snacks, tablets and drinks with you for the experience.
