Yet another ATM question.
We will be traveling with a local U.S. bank's debit card (not Bank of America). The bank does not charge an International transaction fee, so we'll have the 1% Visa conversion fee + whatever the ATM bank charges.
This morning in an online chat, we asked a Barclays' customer service person the charge for using a Barclays' ATM. His response was "Since you will be using an American debit card to withdraw cash from Barclays ATM, it will be the American bank, who issued the Card, that will be charging you."
In response to the follow-up question "Barclays wouldn't charge a fee for using one of your ATMs?," he responded, "No, Barclays will not charge any fee."
I'm finding this difficult to believe and I'm wondering if we're just not phrasing the question correctly. Does anyone have personal experience with Barclays ATMs?
Thank you!

Barclays ATMs in England - fee question
Yet another ATM question.
Report Abuse
All ATMs I have used in Europe for years have had no fees themselves, only what your local ATM-issuing bank charges. Would be shocked if Barclays were any different.
Report Abuse
Agree with PalenQ. European ATMs won't charge a fee, your financial institution probably will.
Report Abuse
Thanks, PalenQ. I'm confused, though, because I've read other ATM-related posts and people have responded that it costs ~$5 to withdraw cash from an ATM.
Report Abuse
The $5 is a charge my local ATM-issuer charges not the foreing ATM - contact your local bank - mine has a $5 flat fee regardless of amount withdrawn - thus take out as much as you can or need at one time - not in small amounts.
Sometimes it is better to use credit cards, depending on your card-issuer charges - some charger 3% but few if any have a flat transaction fee - thus use your card everywhere - at McDonalds, etc.
Report Abuse
The problem with using a credit card at a ATM is that the interest is typically at a much higher rate, given that it is a cash advance.
FWIW, my credit union charges me $1 and the FOREX fees come to less than 1% of the xe.com rate; however, my German bank charges me 4.95 Euro for not using a network ATM.
So yeah, be sure to check with your financial institution regarding fees.
Report Abuse
My local bank has told me that they charge only the Visa 1% conversion fee and don't charge a foreign transaction fee, but that the foreign bank would charge for using their ATM.
Report Abuse
never use a credit card at an ATM (for reasons given above) - use an ATM card.
Report Abuse
jhostage, a European bank isn't going to charge you for using their ATM. They either haven't figured it out yet that doing that is free money to them or laws prevent them from doing it.
I think your bank is lying to you. I'd get their statement in writing so you can get those ATM fees refunded when they show up.
Report Abuse
Thanks, sparkchaser. So, assuming what they've told us is true, all we have to worry about is the 1% conversion fee--no Int'l transaction fee and no ATM fee. I think getting it in writing is a good idea!
For what it's worth, we won't be using a credit card to withdraw money at ATMs--just our checking account debit cards.

UK banks do not charge fees at ATMs, so why restrict yourself to Barclays?
The only ATMs in the UK that levy fees are those not owned by banks. These are found at locations such as convenience stores and fees are clearly displayed.
Any costs associated with getting your money out of your account while overseas from a bank-owned ATM in the UK are levied by your bank. If your bank doesn't do that then your in a win-win situation.
And reading your latest post it's clear you're receiving conflicting information from your bank and Barclays. Who to believe? Unfortunately, your bank is misinformed.
Report Abuse
Be sure to tell you card issuing banks exactly what countries you are going to - if not they may IME block transactions as a security thing - I always tell them what countries I am going to be using my cards in and say that is all - none other - too many stories of card numbers being deftly stolen with things like mirrors above machines, etc and charges showing up from Romanian banks, etc.

That's a really good point. Using a non-bank ATM should always be the last resort. This applies to ReiseBank ATMs as well (they give horrible exchange rates).
Report Abuse
Thanks, everyone.
PalenQ - yes, we've given our banks the travel dates and specific locations so our transactions won't be blocked. I appreciate the reminder.
sofarsogood -- we were interested in Barclays only because we figured they'd have ATMs in the most locations. We won't limit ourselves, but will be avoiding non-bank ATMs. So, I guess the question for our local banks is, "In addition to the 1% conversion fee, do you charge a fee for use of a non-local bank ATM?" Thank you for your help!
Report Abuse
<<My local bank has told me that they charge only the Visa 1% conversion fee and don't charge a foreign transaction fee, but that the foreign bank would charge for using their ATM.>>
Your local bank is ignorant.
European banks don't charge for using the ATMs. If you use an ATM at a private business (e.g., at a pub), the local business itself may charge. That's different.

I live in the UK, but have an American debit card. I have never been charged a fee for using an ATM from any UK bank, and usually make two or three withdrawals each week. I just use whichever ATM is handy: Barclays, Lloyds, HSBC, or whatever — it makes no difference.
One thing to avoid: many ATMs will give you a choice of charging the transaction in £ or converting to your home currency. If you let the ATM convert into $ you will pay a higher rate. This is called Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC), and is also offered by some merchants when you make a purchase with a credit card. It may seem helpful to know exactly what you are paying in dollars, but you end up paying more with DCC. Always choose £ and let your bank at home do the conversion.

IME seldom do US bank customer service staff know anything about foreign exchange, foreign ATMs or anything else outside of the 50 US states. One of my personal bankers (a district vice president) has no idea. And she travels a fair amount. And tellers/phone agents know even less.
My banks and credit union variously charge $1, $1.50, $3, $5 and zero. So whether your bank does or doesn't charge isn't definite. Which bank is it? There will be other fodorites who bank w/ them and will know if they charge ATM fees over seas.
And no - machines in the UK won't assess a fee -- if there is a fee, that will solely come from your bank.

Janisj has my experience exactly, US bankers struggle with the outside world, I've had too many deals founder over the years because even the large ones are so inwardly focused so I always assume they will get it wrong and have never been let down. A bit like the Portugeuse really.
Report Abuse
Thank you, Heimdall, for the DCC advice. Extremely helpful!
janisj, I'm pretty sure no fodorites bank with my banks, both of which are very small, western Massachusetts savings banks. Just in case, though, they're Florence Savings Bank (FSB) and Greenfield Savings Bank (GSB).
Perhaps we haven't been asking the right question, because we've been framing it as an International issue. It may not have anything to do with using a foreign ATM, but using ANY non-FSB or GSB ATM. Thanks to you, bigruss, and bilboburgler, I'll go forward under the assumption that my banks may know even less than I do!

>>It may not have anything to do with using a foreign ATM, but using ANY non-FSB or GSB ATM<<
Yes - what do your banks charge when you use an out-of-network ATM at home? More than likely it will be the same in the UK . . plus the 1%.
Report Abuse
Thanks, janisj. I think my brain is beginning to understand this. One of our banks doesn't charge any fee for ATM use out-of-network as long as we meet certain requirements each month (e.g., # of debit card transactions, a direct deposit, etc.). So the question becomes whether that will be any different when we're in England. I'll report back when I know that answer.
Report Abuse
There is a difference in bank ATMs and commercial ATMs. The former will not charge you. The latter - which will be marked and found in public places DO charge - since this is a business and that is their profit.
So just know which type of ATM you are using.

The answer to this should be no. Out of network is out of network without regard to the situs of the ATM terminal. If you get a different answer, please tell us.

When I wrote "let your bank at home do the conversion" I didn't mean to imply that someone from the bank customer service staff would sit down and work out the exchange rate for your £ withdrawal. This is all done automatically, and I can check a few minutes later in my online account to see what rate I was charged.
Report Abuse
Some of these questions come up all the time. In one of the few decent things the shared teller networks of cirrus and plus have done is to prohibit banks from charging debit or ATM cards issued out of country any fees on their part. Thus Barclays in the UK or Lloyds or RBS or National Westminster or whatever will not charge an American credit card any fees for use of your card intheir machines. However, your bank might. For example, Bank of America will not charge a fee if you use Barclays as it is part of their preferred network but will charge a $5 fee for cash withdrawals (they might give 1 free a billing cycle although I'm not sure) at say a Loyd's. Bank of America has also recently instituted a 3% ftf (foreign transaction fee) on cash withdrawals, even from Barclay's on their debit or ATM cards. As with so much else, many local credit unions have low or no fees for these withdrawals.
Now while indeed it is conventional wisdom that you don't use a credit card for a cash withdrawal from an ATM because interest accrues from the moment the cash hits your fingers, the interest while as high as 18% to 24% is computed on a daily basis and in a pinch, if you withdraw $100 equivalent say if your ATM card suddenly gets swallowed or is compromised and you have no choice and you repay it when you get home at the end of the month, the interest would be something like $1.50, a small price to pay if you're desperate. The problem with cash advances on credit cards in a pinch is not the interest; as noted it is manageable. It is the fees and if you read the fee structure, it might be as much as 5% or more of the amount advanced in addition to the interest. That's where it can become somewhat more expensive. I was just checking today and I believe Andrews FCU, a very popular card, has no additional fee if you are forced by circumstances to use its credit card for a cash withdrawal. Moral of the story, while conventional wisdom is correct that usually it is very expensive to use a credit card for an ATM withdrawal, every bank has different policies and there are some that actually have somewhat benevolent policies for their cutomers.
Also while it is conventional wisdom to notify card issuers of your plans, that is no guarantee you won't get a phone call or find your card has been blocked. Some banks are now telling their customers not to bother notifying them that the notificatons have no effect on their programming and when they see a change in your charging practice, some action may be initiated by the bank's computers. Other banks insist you call before hand.
Report Abuse
Should have said the British banks will not charge an American debit or ATM card if used in their machines in the UK. Sorry.
Report Abuse
Thank you all for your advice, support and patience. Both of our banks insist that we will be charged no fee other than the 1% Visa/Mastercard fee for using our debit cards at out-of-network ATMs. Although both charge non-customers for using their ATMs, they don't charge their own customers for out-of-network ATM use.
If this is true, and UK banks don't charge non-customers for ATM use, we should be all set!
For anyone who remains suspicious (as I do), we have responses from both banks in writing.
Report Abuse
>>If this is true, and UK banks don't charge non-customers for ATM use, we should be all set!<<
Even if they ARE wrong - no big deal. Any fees are likely to be very small ($3 or less) and in the grand scheme of things nothing really. Great if they don't assess fees . . . Totally OK if they do. Now relax and enjoy your trip
Report Abuse
As an ordinary customer of a British bank, I can confirm that I can use any cash machine (what we call ATMs) operated by any bank in the U.K. and will not be charged a fee. That is the arrangement that the banks have made between themselves.
That is the context in which U.K. banks work, so it would not be unusual if they applied the same policy to cards from other countries.

Thanks, Janis. I'm bringing a notebook so I'll be able to repay the kindness of fodorites with an exhaustive trip report.

Bring both debit cards, maybe each of you carry one. And avoid Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) ATMs. One of those kept my card last year -- for no known reason. I had to make a long-distance call to cancel the card.

Thanks for the warning, Mimar. We'll arrive well-equipped with cards and avoid RBS!
Report Abuse
drlaz...If a transacion with a European card used in an American ATM clears through PLUS or CIRRUS, then no fee is supposed to be charged as these two shared teller networks prohibit banks from charging fees on ATM withdrawals using out of country cards. However, some banks are now clearing these withdrawals through other networks which have no such prohibition.
Report Abuse
One of those kept my card last year -- for no known reason. I had to make a long-distance call to cancel the card.>>
for that reason, i always try to use ATMs when the adjoining bank is open; hopefully then I will be able to recover my card if it disappears into the black hole. Fortunately that's not happened yet. What does happen sometimes is that for no obvious reason, an ATM just doesn't like one particular card, but will accept others. Sadly, just because it was an RBS ATM that ate Mimar's card, that doesn't mean you'll be safe if you avoid them.
<<I hope to stop obsessing over every detail once we're on the plane!>>
good idea. remember, no trip is perfect so you need to role with the punches and enjoy what comes. Don't let the odd hiccup get you down!
Report Abuse
Actually SOME ATMs do charge a fee.... These are usually at service stations etc. however it will ALWAYS tell you prior to completing the transaction so you have time to cancel! The fee is usually between £1.50 to £2.50. Years ago you used to get charged for say using Barclays if you had a lloyds account- but they stopped all that years ago.
I was at a concert venue in the Midlands just last week and the ATM wanted to charge me £2.50.......
Report Abuse
annhig, I too thought if the bank was open, they could retrieve my card from the ATM, which, in this case, was actually inside the bank. But that wasn't true at the RBS on St. Andrew's Square in Edinburgh. In fact they implied I was some kind of dodgy character, maybe with a stolen card| But I discussed this at length previously here on Fodors.
Report Abuse
I wouldn't rely on a bank simply handing over a captured card. From the bank's point of view you're unknown to them; how does it know you are the cardholder?
For security reasons the captured card will be cancelled and destroyed (it remains property of the bank, it's not actually yours) and your bank will issue a new one card, likely sent to your home address.
Yes it's inconvenient, but it's to stop your card being used by someone else and to protect your account.
Report Abuse
mimar: that could happen at any bank. It most likely happened because of something transmitted by your own bank or its network . . . or because you tried re-entering you PIN several times. Most ATMs will eat a card if someone mis-keys their PIN 2 or 3 times.
Report Abuse
Well, my bank (actually a credit union) said there were no problems. And I didn't make a mistake entering my PIN (at least not more than once). Don't know about the network. This was a card that had worked many times and in many places.

7 Step First Time Home Buyer's Guide
7 Step First Time Home Buyer's Guide
First, Determine exactly how much you can afford. Sit down and evaluate your monthly budget. It is important to know what amount of money you are comfortable spending every month on housing. Consider how much money you can apply towards a down payment, the more the better.
Second, speak with a lender. You may already know someone who is a lender, however I strongly encourage you to "shop rates" and programs. Talk to several lenders and compare what rates and terms they can offer that put you within your predetermined monthly payment range. A realtor can put you in contact with their personal preferred lenders who are able to search multiple mortgage products. Any reputable lender who shops rates for you will not only provide you your estimated monthly loan payment amount but should also attempt to accurately include monthly costs such as taxes and housing association fees, if those apply. You want a complete picture of what you will be paying monthly for housing. In addition lenders should search rates for you free of charge and obligation. Once you make a decision on a lender, request a pre-qualification letter.
Third, find your home. You will need to weigh criteria such as type of home, commute times, school districts, amenities, price, and so much more. Keep in mind that the asking price of a home is almost always negotiable. You have probably already done some searching on the internet which is a great way to get a feel for the market. If a picture is worth a thousand words than actually seeing the home in person is worth so much more. Contact a realtor if you have not done so. An agent who is very familiar with your area can quickly identify homes which fit your criteria. You both will set up a time and place to meet and view as many homes as it takes.
Fourth, negotiate. Your agent should perform a market analysis on the home of interest. Based on that analysis, together you will form a negotiation strategy. During negotiations typically both the seller and buyer counter offer at least once. Negotiations not only include price, but such details as repairs the property may need, closing date, closing costs, and can even cover the appliances. An experienced, assertive, proactive realtor can be invaluable during this step.
Fifth, inspection. You are now considered "under contract". You have limited time to perform a home inspection. This is vital whenever buying a home. A home is most likely the largest single purchase you will make in your life, you want to be sure there aren't any surprises awaiting you. A home inspector has knowledge of virtually every facet of the "nuts and bolts" of a house. The inspector will identify any potential problems with your future home. While under contract you have a window of opportunity to make changes to the contract and negotiate with the seller to fix any problems.
Sixth, paperwork. Your agent will be responsible for many documents. However there will be some that you have to fill out and others to review. They will assist you through much of this and by the end you will be familiar with names such as "mortgage application", "home owners insurance", "settlement statement", and others.
Seventh, closing. Once all the "i"s are dotted and "t"s are crossed the sellers, buyers, agents, and occasionally lender will meet at the attorney's office. During the closing ,and many signatures later, a legal transfer of the property will take place. Congratulations, you are now a home owner!

Behrami calls for stability
Valon Behrami believes West Ham's players need to be given assurances that there will not be a mass clear-out.
Last Updated: 02/01/10 9:59pm
Valon Behrami believes West Ham's players need to be given assurances that there will not be a mass clear-out.
Speculation has suggested that a number of the club's stars could be moved on in the January transfer window due to the financial situation at Upton Park.
England internationals Matthew Upson, Robert Green, Scott Parker and Carlton Cole have all been tipped to embark on fresh challenges elsewhere.
Behrami admits the uncertainty is hard to handle and he has called on the Hammers hierarchy to come clean about any plans for a January fire sale.
"I have spoken a number of times with the people above us to make the situation clear and what is the real situation?" said the Switzerland international.
"Right now I am told to believe what the media are saying but it is clear that we need to know our future.
"I am looking for someone in January to help us and (tell us) that we don't have to sell players.
"I am hoping the new year will be better for everyone at West Ham and we can have some positive things because right now there is a lot of negativity.
"Off the pitch there has to be stability because when you have problems like this it can affect you on the pitch and maybe the reason why things are going like this for us."
West Ham take on Arsenal in the third round of the FA Cup on Sunday and Behrami feels a victory could be just the springboard needed at such a difficult time.
"The FA Cup has arrived for us at a moment when we are struggling in the Premier League and we have a lot of players who are injured so this is not a good moment for us," he said.
"We know the competition can give us great emotions because it was very nice to play in the FA Cup last year and it is a different atmosphere.
"We need to be more lucky in 2010 because we have too many injuries and we need to forget about the situation in the Premier League.
"When you are going down the only thing you can do is move upwards. I think this is a very difficult moment for us.
"The draw was not very kind to us but we are at home and if we play like a team, we can have a good result. A good cup run could help us in the league.
"Mentally this can give us a boost."

Sophomore defensive specialist Maddie Jones recorded seven service aces, which tied a school record for the most in a single match. She earned two each in sets one and two and another three in set four to help KSU close out the match.
The Owls jumped out to a six-point lead in the first set and won 25-17.
The Highlanders (9–19, 1-9 ASUN) responded in the second, composing themselves well enough to battle KSU to a 19-19 tie before the Owls used a late push to win the set 25-20.
NJIT built on its success and took a 9-4 lead in the third. KSU did not back down easily, however, rallying back to take a 14-13 lead. The Owls extended that lead to 17-15, but the Highlanders answered with a six-point rally to take a 21-17 lead.
Ultimately, the two squads found themselves in a 25-25 deuce, which NJIT won by scoring the next two points and taking the set 27-25.
KSU came back much sharper in the fourth set, jumping out to a 9-4 lead. The Highlanders tried to close the gap, but the Owls finished strong and won the set 25-18 and the match 3-1.
"I'm proud of our team for battling through some adversity tonight and coming out on the good side," head coach Keith Schunzel said.
Aside from Jones' seven aces, she also recorded seven digs. Outside hitters Sydni Shelton and Anaiah Boyer had big games as well — Shelton led the team in kills with 20 while Boyer contributed 10 kills.
Boyer was one of three Owls in double digits for digs. Junior libero Katrina Morton led the team with 18 digs and junior setter Kristie Piedimonte had 10, also leading the Owls with 48 assists.
Schunzel was happy to get the win but knew the teams' business trip wasn't over.
"We're going to enjoy this win tonight and tomorrow we'll get down to Upstate — who is playing great volleyball right now — and prepare to give another great road effort," Schunzel said.
Less than 24 hours later, the Owls found themselves in Spartanburg, South Carolina, taking on the University of South Carolina Upstate (11-16, 3-7 ASUN).
Although KSU came away with win No. 15 of the season against the Spartans, the match was a five-set thriller that kept the Owls on their toes.
Aside from the end of the first and third period, KSU had a tough time gaining separation from USCU.
After battling to a 19-19 tie in the first period, KSU scored the next six points to win the set 25-19. It would be short-lived, however, as the Spartans built a 10-4 lead and won the second set 25-16.
KSU returned the favor in the third, turning what was initially a close match into a 16-11 lead that eventually blossomed into a 25-18 victory for the Owls.
Set four was the most intense of the afternoon. Although the Spartans held the lead for most of the fourth, KSU tried to spoil their comeback attempt by taking a 20-19 lead — which would have sealed the match for the Owls if they had held onto it.
The Spartans responded, however, tying the score back up at 21-21 before taking back a lead they would not relinquish and winning the set 25-23.
This match marked the sixth time this season the Owls have gone into a fifth set. That experience seemed to help them remain composed, taking an 8-5 lead at the switch and finishing USCU with a set score of 15-8 to win the match 3-2.
Boyer led the team with 22 kills against the Spartans and added 19 digs along with three service aces. Senior opposite hitter Kelly Marcinek also came up big in the kill column with 19 and added eight digs. Piedimonte tallied 58 assists and 11 digs. Morton again led the Owls in digs on Sunday with 21.
KSU will play its final two road matches next weekend against Stetson University (4-21, 1-7 ASUN) on Nov. 4 and playing Florida Gulf Coast University (22–4, 8-2 ASUN) on Saturday, Nov. 5.

Issuance of debt securities saw a strong pick up during the first quarter of 2013 on the back of healthy activity by the non-financial sector in Saudi Arabia and UAE banks, according to the latest research from the National Bank of Kuwait (NBK).
Meanwhile, GCC public sector issuance continued to decline, it NBK's economic update. "New debt issues in 1Q13, especially by corporates, tended to have longer tenors, lengthening the average maturity of outstanding bonds," it said.
"Total outstanding GCC fixed income instruments reached $231.8 billion at the end of 1Q131," it said. "The figure is up $12.8 billion from December 2012. UAE, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia continue to account for the majority of the region's issued debt, with total outstanding securities for these three countries amounting to $99 billion, $69 billion, and $38 billion, respectively, as of 1Q13.
"Issuance in the first quarter of this year was up by two per cent against a year ago, with $16.7 billion worth of debt securities issued. The UAE led the way with $7.8 billion worth of issues, followed by Saudi Arabia ($5.4 billion), and Qatar ($1.3 billion).
"Total issuance in 1Q13 was driven primarily by the non-financial sector (corporates), with the majority of the push coming from Saudi Arabia. Issuance by Saudi corporates amounted to $5.4 billion, or 32 per cent of all new GCC debt issued in 1Q13. Saudi Electrical Company and Sadara dominated Saudi private sector issuance, while Emirates Airlines and Ooredoo drove debt growth in the UAE and Qatar, respectively.
"Public sector issuance has been declining over the last year. During 1Q13, it registered its lowest level since 3Q11, with issuance during the quarter at $4 billion. Public sector issuance, which includes sovereign bonds in addition to government-related entities, accounted for less than a quarter of all issuance during 1Q13, down from an average above 60 per cent over the last two years. The public sector's share first fell below 50 per cent in 4Q12 for the first time since early 2009 and has remained there in 1Q13, reflecting a recovering private sector.
"GCC bond and Sukuk are increasingly being issued with longer maturities reflecting increased investor confidence and the search for yield. The average maturity of outstanding GCC debt securities increased by 0.2 years between 4Q12 and 1Q13 to reach 5.9 years. This was driven by the corporate sector which saw 1Q13 issuance at longer maturities than usual, which pushed the weighted average maturity of outstanding corporate debt up by 0.6 to 8.5 years."

Discovery: BitTorrent makes it easy to connect with cutting-edge indie artists. Check out the App Studio first and download movies, music and more.
Speedy: Fast downloads...that's the goal, right? BitTorrent is a light client that doesn't hog system resources, so it cruises right along.
Simple: In a word, it's intuitive. And just wait, our new client (coming soon), is even easier. It's discover, download and play cool stuff.
Advanced: BitTorrent leverages µTP, the latest BitTorrent protocol. BitTorrent maximizes the use of network bandwidth while reducing congestion & it doesn't interfere with your other surfing. Make VoIP calls, use Skype, play games, stream video etc.
Reliable: And, since BitTorrent's developers manage the open source protocol, you always have access to the latest and greatest technologies.
Plug-n-Play: BitTorrent is a snap to install and set-up on your home network. We use the industry standard UPnP and NAT-PMP networking technologies to prepare your router for torrent access.
Customized: It is super-easy to make BitTorrent all about you. Add new features through the App Studio, skin your client and more.
Intelligent: BitTorrent is instinctively smart. It auto-adjusts bandwidth usage based upon your network and the Internet. Use Skype, play games, stream video etc., all without interference.

You've probably visited many blogs and you would like to know how to add Google Adsense ads below your blog posts content. Here I am going to show you how!
The first thing you need to do is go log into your Google Adsense account. If you haven't already created a adsense ad block you will need to do so. What I like to use, and I believe is the best performing Adsense Ad Block is the 336 x 280 large rectangle. This is one I have found to have the best CTR ( click through rate).
Once you have your adsense ad ready for your wordpress blog you will need to copy the small piece of html code to embed or add to your blog posts. To do so you will need to go into your dashboard for your WordPress blog.
1. Log into your WordPress blog
2. On the left hand side under Appearance click on Editor
3. Next you will see on right hand side php files, click on Single Posts (single.php)
4. Here is where you will add your adsense code so your ads appear at the end or below blog posts
5. Add your adsense code just below the following piece of code in the single.php file ( see below photo to see where to place your Adsense code)
"6. Update the file and that's all there is to it!
**** Tip when changing or adding any piece of code to an existing php file it's always a good thing to save a copy of it in case you do anything wrong. This way you can simply paste the original code back in. Always backup your blog as well before any changes are made. ****
Now when you go to any of your blog posts you will see Adsense Ads immediately following your blog posts.
How To Center Your Adsense Ads Below Posts
In the photo above you will see <center> and </center at the start of and at the end of my Adsense code. This will simply center your Adsense ads on your blog post. There is no need to add this but this is what I like to do. If you just enter in the original Adsense script it will align to the left automatically.
Now you know how to add Google Adsense Ads below your blog posts for WordPress. The next thing I will show you is how to add Adsense ads inline with text in blog posts and HTML code to use to do it.

Anorexia - highest mortality rate among eating disorders
Surprisingly, it is the least prevalent of all eating disorders: only 10% of people suffer from anorexia, according to Leanne Thorndyke, Head of Communications at BEAT - UK's leading charity organization supporting people affected by eating disorders.
The onset of the illness is early to mid-adolescence and if left untreated, anorexia can lead to abnormally low heart rate and blood pressure, osteoporosis, severe dehydration and eventually death. Anorexics are highly skeptical about getting treatment, Dr. Caz Nahman, consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist specializing in eating disorders, said:
"The statistics vary, but between 10 and 20 percent of people who get this illness can die from it. 90 percent of young people who get it, or even adults, are female. In the case of some young people there will be food avoidance as well as purging. There is massive body image distortion, a fear of becoming fat, and a desire to remain at a low weight. They've got very mixed feelings about getting any help, but they get very preoccupied about weight, shape, size, food, eating. And there's a lot of distress every time they eat," Dr. Caz Nahman said.
A lot of people who suffer from anorexia falsely believe that they are well and that their unhealthy eating habits are a lifestyle choice. Websites promoting anorexia, also called pro-ana sites, provide tips and tricks on how to get thinner, and are full of "thinspirational" messages such as "pretty girls don't eat" and "skip dinner, be thinner".
If anorexia has been allowed to progress too far, it is crucial that the person gets within a normal weight range before they can proceed with any other treatment, Jackie Grandie, outreach and education coordinator for the national eating disorder information center in Canada, said:
"Most treatment focuses on the physiological issues in the early phases of therapy. When we say physiological issues we're talking about normalizing eating and gaining weight. For a lot of people who have been restricting their food intake or who have been perhaps affecting their physical health over the years in a negative way, it's really important for them to learn what a normal process of eating looks like and to gain weight back so that they can be cognitively ready to begin the next phase of treatment, which is looking at psychological issues," Jackie Grandie said.
Early prevention is the most effective way of treating anorexia. It is not an easy task, considering that the modern society and the social media culture work against people when it comes to the issues of body image and health. There are web resources and help centers that try to offer all the support they can to people suffering from eating disorders and their relatives. But a lot of people are hesitant to talk about their food issues and according to the Health and Social Care Information Centre, the number of people, especially children and teenagers, admitted to hospital for eating disorders is growing every year.

Does anyone know if this is common? Can somebody please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com to confirm the blog is still up and working.

Left Justified: What kids in Baghdad think
I dont believe everything I see on the Internet, but this had the ring of truth. I send it to you as I am on my way to another Veterans for Peace Conference, where we are welcoming the arrival of new Iraq veterans who are against the war. (In fact, this is from their web site: www.ivaw.org.).
Apparently, this was found on an Iraqi girls MySpace. Says shes 19 and lives in Baghdad:
Hey what's up? I was born in Baghdad and I witnessed every war that my country has been through and I have collected a few notes about the U.S. soldiers behavior and how they treat my people based on what I've SEEN in my neighborhood. Hopefully these notes will help make a difference:
First of all, Ive met some nice soldiers since 2003 but there are others that are not so nice, so this is a message for them which I hope wont give u any bad feeling.
So lets start at searching houses: I wish u show more respect to the families that live peacefully in their houses when u'r breaking in. U need lessons to learn to distinguish between good and bad people since u miss the bad gangs sometimes and disrespect the good.
Make sure not to scare women and children. Why do you leave the house in such a big mess, like an earth quake just happened! Thats not what a friend would do (since ur our friends that u came to help us as u always say).
And . I wish u were nicer and caused no damage to any house of the civilians ur searching without making it up to them unless u were very sure that the house is of terrorists, in that case, u can even bomb it if u liked to and well be very thankful!
In the street: plz. Look where ur shooting before u press ur finger. Many innocent people get killed bc of ur mistakes. Its not only Iraqi people are getting killed, actually its more than that, bc when u dont do good enough while ur here and hurt innocent people, ur turning them into angry people and will give them a reason to fight u! And thus there will be victims from both sides which is really sad and Im sure u wouldnt like it.
U neednt hit a car for not clearing the way for u. What ur doing is not more important than the Iraqi people living in their country. Remember, ur here to help not to hurt.
To those that drive tanks, make no jokes with the other cars when driving! Bc it scares to death! Ive been through a situation when I said OMG, its the end so I think its no fun at all, stay away from cars and when u want to run them over, make sure they are empty, it just makes me sick to know that there are families that died inside their cars when a tank ran them over!
Dont blame us for not being able to tell u about where the terrorists hide bc they can find us and kill us.
And finally, if u hate Iraq and its people, then dont bother to come here, no one invited u.

It is day five of the Rubber City Radio Group's spotlight on the heroin epidemic, and today, we look to what we as a community can do next. Summit County sheriff Steve Barry joined the Ray Horner Morning Show to inform what his office is doing to stop the heroin outbreak. Sheriff Barry says the county is putting teams together to gather as much information as possible to educate the public about opiates and the subsequent addiction. Why is it so bad in Akron? He believes our location nationally, as well as a lower economic state, are large factors. What can the people do? Barry urges the public to read the signs and call their local law enforcement agency if they come across suspicious activity. By doing so, officers can arrest the local traffickers, then working their way up to the suppliers.
It is day four of the Rubber City Radio Group's platform on the heroin epidemic in the area. The spotlight today is on the treatment of opiate addiction and the various in the area who are there to assist. Summa Health System's Dr. Alan Shein, MD of Addiction Medicine Services, joined the Ray Horner Morning Show to discuss the treatment program an addict will undergo. First off, Dr. Shein touched on how and why a person would make the jump from prescription drugs that include opiates to heroin, which would not only quell the pain, but to illicit a euphoria. The program at Summa is designed to help the victims get off heroin dependency and assist with the withdrawal symptoms. Though the detoxification process is an uncomfortable one, the medical staff will prescribe medication to the patients, which will help flush the opiates out of the body. The timeline is about four to five days, then the patient will transition to the next level of care.
In our continuing coverage of the heroin crisis in Summit County, we showcase some of the facilities in the area dedicated to helping those find the path to recovery. The Interval Brotherhood Home, or IBH, is a drug and alcohol recovery center located on S. Main Street near the Portage Lakes. The recovery center has been in operation since 1970, and Joe Rifici, an associate clinical director, joined the Ray Horner Morning Show to discuss what IBH does. Rifici spoke in depth about the recovery program, which helps patients find their spiritual side. Since 2009, when he joined IBH, Rifici says victims of heroin abuse has increased exponentially, mainly in the last year. He notices patients come from every background come through the doors, no matter the race or economic upbringing.
Terry Pluto is an award-winning sportswriter and columnist with the Plain Dealer, and is known across the region for his thoughts and analysis of the Browns, Cavaliers, and Indians. But what may not widely known is his work with prison inmates and addicts in their paths to recovery. Pluto joined the Ray Horner Morning Show to discuss his experience in dealing with struggling or recovering addicts, specifically heroin. In the decades he has been meeting with these victims, Pluto has seen the growth of heroin in these communities, no matter the racial or socioeconomic background. He believes heroin is deadlier than crack cocaine.
This week, the Rubber City Radio Group is putting the spotlight on the heroin epidemic that is not only affecting the Akron area, but across the country. Barberton, a once-bustling area that has fallen on hard times, is one of the communities hit hard by the heroin outbreak. Barberrton City Schools Superintendent Patti Cleary joined the Ray Horner Morning Show to discuss what the Barberton community is doing to educate families of this drug epidemic.
Cleary believes most students understand the risks of heroin, but further education on drug use and its affects will continue to be put in place.

text: This is that rare story that winds up being so much better than the initial pitch. I thought it was the story of a wonderful Atlanta family that adopted a Chinese orphan who was a burn victim. That, in itself, is remarkable — that a family would take a chance on a child who looked far from perfect and who would need countless surgeries down the road. Great story. I was sold. But then I found out why the mother wanted to adopt Lucy, and that's when the story went to a whole new level.

In one sense, a criminal conviction signals the end of a case. But in another, it's just an interval in the criminal process. While it's generally tougher for defendants to win on appeal than at trial, the appellate process allows them to present challenges that, if successful, will undo convictions.
A not guilty verdict on all charges normally ends a criminal case—the prosecution cannot appeal an acquittal. A guilty verdict on some or all charges, however, doesn't necessarily mean the case is over.
Criminal appeals involve a lengthy and often complicated procedure. Here you'll find basic information about what goes into an appeal.
Criminal defendants generally can't appeal "lawful" sentences. But a defendant can appeal a sentence if it's illegal, unconstitutional, or unreasonably excessive.
Criminal appeals are notoriously slow and complex. Convicted defendants may wonder how they unfold—the following provides a general overview of the process.
Making a Good Record for Appeal
Appellate court judges generally don't consider new evidence, meaning their rulings are based only on the trial court "record."
Some defendants, dissatisfied with the representation they received at trial, decide to represent themselves on appeal. Others started out representing themselves and simply continue to do so after conviction. But, just like self-representation at trial, representing oneself on appeal is extremely risky.
When defendants appeal their convictions they present all the errors they think the trial judge made (and some they're just hoping the appellate court will buy). Defendants typically offer several arguments about the inadequacy of the trial that led to the conviction.
Appeals and the Writ of Habeas Corpus FAQ
Questions What are the chances that my conviction will be reversed? What is a writ? What's the difference between a writ and an appeal? What is a writ of habeas corpus? What is an appeal? What are the chances that my conviction will be reversed? Appeals judges generally resist overruling trial court
What is the Difference Between Trial and Appellate Courts?
In both state and federal courts, there are trial courts, where cases are first heard, and appellate or "higher" courts, which review decisions from trial courts.
Should I use the lawyer I had at trial for my appeal?
Convicted defendants generally shouldn't use the lawyer they had at trial on appeal. Rather, an experienced appellate lawyer almost always provides the best chance.
What cases does the U.S. Supreme Court hear?
The United States Supreme Court is a federal court, meaning in part that it can hear cases prosecuted by the U.S. government.
Can you lose the right to appeal a ruling by taking a plea deal?
Defense attorneys are sometimes able to negotiate conditional pleas. This kind of plea arrangement allows a defendant to strike a deal with the prosecution and at the same time contest a ruling by the judge. The defendant reserves the right to appeal a particular ruling. If she loses her appeal, then the conviction stands. If she wins it, she can withdraw her guilty or no-contest plea.

Mostly, a household is a family unit of some sort, though households might also be different social groups , reminiscent of roommates or, in a rooming home , unconnected individuals. The night went on until 8am on the Sunday morning and it felt quite surreal emerging from the darkish club on to a sunny promenade during the vacation season. We finally bought the house ourselves inside two months without any markdown in worth. Here's a worksheet the place students have to jot down about their favourite room of their house. Anybody with home rabbits and cats knows this since usually rabbits will snatch the cat's toys proper from their furry mitts. Most of the supplies used to construct the greenhouse and rooster home were recycled, re-purposed, salvaged or left over from other projects, aside from the body and the roofing materials.

Untitled (yet)
The coyote raised her nose higher to test the afternoon air. Across the broad valley, where rugged cap rock edge met with soft blue sky, stark earth shimmered and wavered slightly, while only twenty feet away, the shape of a lone male, sitting in the shade of a mesquite thicket, stood out plainly. The female rested comfortably inside her shallow lair, studying him through half-closed eyes.
He too remained motionless, but for his oversized ears, both of which twitched or changed positions at regular intervals. He did keep a steady gaze on her den entrance, however, watching with a well-earned self-confidence. At his feet lay his small gift, intended only for her.
She glanced away briefly, seeming to act as if he never before existed , but she continually sniffed at the air for clues. From somewhere close by, a mockingbird trilled a brief medley, over and over.
The female had bred for the first time in the early part of January, but three weeks ago, and exactly fourteen days after the birth of her two pups, a sharp-eyed hunter took aim and fired a single shot from the front seat of his pickup truck. His bullet had then went spiraling through space to slam into the skull of her partner and lover.
The male's untimely death put an end to him as the provider for her and their new family, and several days were to pass before she stumbled across what remained of his carcass. She had run from the sight filled with fear.
Recently she met the unattached male who now sat near her den, zealously guarding his fresh-caught mouse and waiting for her signal. He lowered his head for a moment, his nose nudging the dead rodent once before looking back in her direction.
The ravenous female suddenly sprang to her feet, and the two pups, eyes barely opened, both began to whimper. She turned to huff sternly at the noisome pair. Each hushed at the sound of her comforting voice. Only then did she dare to leave her hidden place.
The male had vanished before she could reach the mouse, off to hunt for more prey. She in turn trotted back to her home with both ears laid back flat, and with the limp mouse held securely in her jaws.
That night the male took up a position on a rise not far from the thicket. Inside the safety of her cozy den, the she-dog began to nurse her offspring. After a ritual marking around his area with fresh urine, the coyote, reveling in the glory of his own perfume, tilted his head back to sing an ancient composition
My brothers, hear my voice Remember this night as The Great Brilliance above us revolves in its slow dance Rejoice that she has chosen to become my lifelong mate, and that this area and all of its food now belong to us And, take heed
Far away, a brother answered. After a time, a third coyote joined in. Any human being, when hearing the primordial song for the first time, would respond with a shudder.
For a while, their scattered howls traveled for miles up and down the ancient canyon as kin sang to kin, and on this night, some of their notes even reached all the way to the sleeping little town of Hardwood Falls.
Floyd Weed drove slowly through the dark outskirts of town, searching for a house. After finding the right one, he parked next to the curb, and then turned the key to kill the motor. Next he switched off the headlights. Reaching for a cigarette, he lit it with a steady right hand, while at the same time rolling down his side window with his other. The night air drifted in to wash over his aching shoulders as he leaned his head back to exhale.
His fatigued body seemed to vibrate in the bucket seat, while his mind played realistic sounds of automobile tires speeding across unending stretches of freeway.
Floyd took in deep draws from the cigarette, the red glow illuminating just the heel of his palm. Then unmoving, he stared down the street without seeing, all the while listening to sporadic clicking sounds that came from the engine compartment. Their irregular rhythms helped put his mind at ease, and right after flicking the spent stub out to the middle of the roadway, he shut his road-weary eyes.
When he reopened them, the motor had cooled down completely, and everything around him lay silent. Feeling slightly refreshed but greatly disoriented, he opened the door of his car to step outside.
Down the street from where he had parked, a single light pole labored to compete with the Milky Way. Closer to the earth, a thin layer of fog had now settled over some of the adjacent houses. The weary traveler shivered once as he approached the driveway. Two cars he had never seen before, both wearing a fine covering of wet mist, sat silent and parked side by side. He turned to follow a curving sidewalk which would lead him to the front door of the residence.
A familiar but ghostly form of a century plant loomed off to one side. He pictured the huge agaves rising from its sterile bed of rose-colored lava rock as he hurried on past with hushed footsteps, but just as he reached the wrought-iron gate, he paused to listen to a remote sound that tugged at his soul. Unsure of what the faint sounds were at first, Floyd Weed suddenly smiled at the recognition of the far-away coyote song, but then that was quickly followed by a feeling of dread.
I hope that isn't a bad sign. No lights are visible inside the house. The clock out in the car showed eleven-thirty. Maybe I should have called. But it is Friday. Eleven-thirty isn't all that late; not for a Friday. Not really. She should be awake. Come on. I drove all this way. She can't get mad knowing that.
Somewhere ahead, two large ornate doors stood guard over the darkened sanctuary. He unlatched the high gate easily, stepped inside and shut it soundlessly. Five steps further took him into an outer alcove, framed on both sides by the house itself. Once Floyd stepped up onto the porch, the distant yips became undetectable, and the sounds were all but gone from his mind by the time he pressed the doorbell.
He counted to nine before hearing rustling sounds coming from inside. A low-pitched voice murmured something unintelligible once, and then again as the porch light came on. He heard tumblers click twice before one of the doors opened, and a stranger appeared in the doorway.

What's the biggest gardening challenge you face?
So last year I began building a new raised bed garden. While I was at it, I planned to double my garden space. And I also wanted to do it on the smallest possible budget - preferably a zero budget.
I'm still working on the expansion project, because it has to be fit in among everything else. I'm using reclaimed lumber to build the new beds, and I've found that the most difficult part is filling them. With my zero-dollar budget, I can't just go buy bags and bags of soil for each raised bed. So I'm composting like crazy and also scooping the black dirt from the old goat yard without making a big hole in the ground.
Raised beds lend themselves well to square foot gardening. Mel Bartholomew's book Square Foot Gardening (affiliate link) explains it all. Since I'm using a defined rectangular area in each bed - usually 4 feet by 8 feet - it's a simple matter to divide that space into squares and plant each one according to the square foot gardening method.
Here you can see the cabbage I grew last year.
The rest of the bed needs to be dug out, then I'll replace the cardboard and refill it with compost and soil. I'll bury the clumps of barn pack deep in my compost pile. This bed will hold my tomatoes and peppers this year.
Do you use the square garden or lasagna garden methods? Or maybe both?
This post has been shared at some of my favorite blog hops.
My hope is to inspire you, and to encourage your homesteading plans and your dreams of a simple, self-reliant, God-dependent life. You can follow me at:

A couple of months ago I added two associate reviewers, Jonetta and Amanda, which have been a great help. Both ladies read paranormal romance and urban fantasy but they've been letting me handle those genres for the most part since those are my go to genres.
When I started The Book Nympho, I started it with the idea that I could review a mix of genres, that's why I didn't choose a name that screamed paranormal. Yet my design screams UF/PNR (which it rocks and its not going anywhere) But I'm wondering from my returning readers if you have pegged The Book Nympho as a paranormal blog or as an anything that goes blog?
In other words, are you enjoying the genres that my associate reviewers are reviewing that are outside the PNR/UF genres? (I occasionally review outside those genres too and will in the future)
Please take the time to vote in the poll at the top of the sidebar. I'm just wondering where my readers' taste fall.

Runnymede report finds that ethnic inequalities are widespread throughout England and Wales.
Runnymede report finds that ethnic inequalities are widespread throughout England and Wales
New research published yesterday by the Runnymede Trust shines a disturbing light on the way that racism now manifests itself in the UK.
Comparing local ethnic inequalities in 2001 and 2011, the report found that ethnic inequalities are 'widespread' in England and Wales, and that the problem is persistent.
This is based on indicators in health, education, unemployment and housing.
The inequality that the report finds is of a much more subtle nature than that which many people would commonly regard as racism.
The Runnymede report found that inequalities existed not only in diverse and deprived areas like Tower Hamlets, but also in more affluent rural areas like Breckland in Norfolk.
Tower Hamlets, a borough in east London, ranks as the seventh most deprived district in England against the 2010 Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD).
It is also an area with a very high level of ethnic diversity; in 2011, around 69 per cent of its population group other than White British. This makes it the fifth most ethnically diverse area in England and Wales.
There is a lot of variation between the experiences of different non-White British ethnic groups. So while Tower Hamlets ranked as the worst district in England and Wales in 2011 for Asian inequality, inequalities for most other ethnic groups had improved between 2001 and 2011.
The study found that:
"The most severe ethnic inequalities in Tower Hamlets were in terms of housing with nearly half (48 per cent) of Asian households and 43 per cent of households from ethnic minority groups as a whole being overcrowded compared with a quarter (24 per cent) of White British households."
Some districts showed improvement. The Yorkshire town of Bradford – which has more Pakistani residents than anywhere else in England and Wales and where 27 per cent of the total population in 2011 was Asian – was the fifth most unequal district for minority populations in 2001.
In 2011 it ranked 22nd; still, in 2011 ethnic minorities in Bradford were three times more likely to be living in overcrowded housing than the White British population.
In rural Breckland, the minority population increased by four per cent between 2001 and 2011, with a high level of immigration from EU countries.
During this decade, ethnic inequalities between the White British group and ethnic minorities widened on all indicators. For example, in 2011, 23 per cent of 16-24 year olds from ethnic minorities and 26 per cent of those from the White Other group had no qualifications, compared to just 13 per cent of the White British group.
As well as poor education and overcrowded housing, the inequality identified by Runnymede can manifest itself as high levels of unemployment or part time work.
It can also show as high levels of economic activity due to increased prevalence of limiting long term illnesses. The relationship between health problems and social deprivation is, as the study says, well documented.
Runnymede's report highlights the way that racial discrimination is becoming more subtle and harder to recognise. These are 'invisible' problems, as it were: they don't involve verbal or physical abuse or enforced segregation.
British Future's recent report on attitudes towards immigration says that there is 'a broad consensus that Britain is a significantly less racist society today, a view also held by most ethnic minority Britons'.
Yet the same report points out that 'one in ten of our fellow citizens expresses support for biological racism and different levels of intelligence between the races'.
This leads to the unsettling conclusion that in many cases, neither the victims nor the perpetrators of institutionalised discrimination are aware of what is taking place.

With only 31% of the borough being 'white British' that now means that group is an ethnic minority.
What are you doing, therefore to support that minority group? Nothing, as usual. Labour, as always, cares nothing for white working class people. It sticks to its safe, sanctimonious, middle class academic comfort zone of racism. People like Ruby Stockham can probably write these articles in their sleep.
I have a suggestion, Ruby. Write an article entitled "Five Practical Ways Labour Intends to Help White Working Class People".

It would seem the ethnic majority needs educating regarding birth control, clearly they cannot afford the amount of children they are producing.

You could be talking there about what Tower Hamlets Council does.
The problem discussing subjects like this is there are different ideas about what constitutes racism etc. Tower Hamlets is mentioned, and the way it's written you'd think that the council were responsible for Asian people being twice as likely to live in overcrowded conditions.
What I see when I'm in Whitechapel is a first port of call for immigrant communities and somewhat of an ethnic minority ghetto. Is it the council's fault if people crowd into flats that are too small for the number of people living in them? The same thing happened in New York a hundred and fifty years ago when immigrants piled off the ships and into slum conditions.
Just to call it racism all the time leads to the divided society where you have the likes of Ukip on one side, and the Guardian's Zoe Williams on the other. It just becomes a finger pointing and point scoring contest.
In Tower Hamlets there is a very big cultural divide between the people who voted very enthusiastically for the mayor – and the population whose roots go back there several generations. You can't just go accusing everyone of racism.
Because that is not fair. We see just how contentious race issues are, even amongst Americans who have roots in the US going back several generations. The "all white cops are racists" view etc. So why should it be any easier in a fluid and changing society like Tower Hamlets, where the population changes so much year after year? And many of the incomers share a very different culture to the wider society. That's always going to be really hard.
But what I've seen from anti-racist activists in the past several years, is that the "hard line" is a tactic that they can't go back on. To stay on the front foot, accusations of racism have to be forcefully made – to make people who would disagree, back down.

"Tower Hamlets, a borough in east London, ranks as the seventh most deprived district in England against the 2010 Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD)."
Did you see the election of Mayor Rahman on u Tube? Disgusting. And the corruption there which has been reported is staggering. If you allow people to behave like this in the election hall during a recount (itself questionable), then you can kiss any form of stability (the life blood of trade and production) goodbye. And, of course, the people who surged into the hall and obstructed the count have got clean away with it.
Do I not remember something about a lot of postal votes all bearing the same signature in Bradford?
This is wrong and it is not the British way.
Allow me to remind you that the Prophet (pbuh) was himself married to eight wives at the time of his death, although, of course, he, and his faithful followers were specially blessed with several wives (Koran 33.37/66.1) and slave girls were also welcomed (23.5). Muslim (for that is what we are talking about here) families are not the same as Christian ones. Why should they be? And because they are not the same, they do not have the same values of material possessions and the division of labour within the extended family. Why should they? Call it poverty if you will.
Mike Stallard
But children are a gift of God, and a measure of wealth, and therefore many children are better than a few (Koran 18.40, 23.54, 71.9)
Mike Stallard
"the people who voted very enthusiastically for the mayor "
A magnificent example of cynical understatement! It was an outrage.
Leon Wolfeson
Poverty means more kids. If you want less kids, improve the economy.
Projection, what would you do without it.
No surprise you don't care about these people because they're not White British.
peter nardelli
My daughter is one of the children living in poverty in Tower Hamlets, However when I complained to the Council regarding certain issues to the mothers benefit claim, I was harassed by the Police and arrested off a flight into Heathrow by a false arrest warrant signed by a D.I. Steve Wilcox from Bethnal Green Police station who coincidentally was also on the Tower Hamlets Anti Fraud Forum……
The comments are more insightful and genuine that the article. But most of us are used to it.

As usual, 2014's Detroit show was full of both winners and losers, good press conferences and bad, but the overwhelming theme was one of moderation – perhaps not in the sense of design, but in purpose and presentation. The show's most important vehicle by far, the 2015 F-Series, was introduced with a whimper rather than a bang, eclipsed by the Atlas concept truck's flashy debut in 2013. Likewise the Corvette Z06, which perhaps suffered most from feeling rather familiar after the C7 Stingray's blockbuster intro last year. Thus, neither made my top five list of introductions at this year's NAIAS. Nor, sadly, did anything from VW or Audi – despite strong showings from new production models (the new GTI and Golf R are both really sharp looking, and who in their right mind would badmouth a new S8?), their concepts fell flat. The
TT in drag Allroad Shooting Brake concept wasn't bad, but perhaps presages a new TT that is a little more derivative than we were all hoping for. And the Beetle Dune was exactly what it sounded like – a jacked up Beetle – thus failing to stir my soul.

Hey Dolls,
Today's polish was a happy accidental find, it's # 90 by Orlane. I got this as a free gift from a seller on ebay when I purchased a different polish from them. I can't remember who the seller was or what other nail polish I bought but on to this beautiful accidental find. Orlane doesn't/ didn't name their polishes ( I say doesn't/didn't because I think the company went under but if your lucky to come across any of these polishes on your nail polish treasure hunts snap them up) they just numbered them. 90 is a blackened base with loads of green micro glitter/ shimmer. I love the way this polish looks, it reminds me of Orly cosmic fx polishes the way the finishes come out on the nail. 90 has full coverage in one to two coats. Until next nail polish, same nail time, same nail channel…..
