From LeakyPedia
The Weasleys are considered one of the prominent wizarding families, although their lack of money and their sympathy for non-pure-blood wizards and even Muggles makes people like the Malfoys look down on them. They live in The Burrow, a ramshackle house of four or five stories "a little way outside" the village of Ottery St. Catchpole (CS3).
For the last couple of generations, the Weasley children have all been male (Arthur, for example, is one of three brothers); Ginny Weasley, born in 1981, was the first girl to come along for quite some time (WEB LINKJKR). Both Molly and Arthur are related to the Black family.
Molly is fiercely protective of her children, but she has her hands full; the Weasleys are, almost without exception, risk-takers who courageously give their all for what they believe in (well, perhaps the twins do it from pure joy too). From the summer of 1996 on, the Weasley family clock has all hands pointing at "mortal peril." Molly took it around with her from room to room.
When the security of Grimmauld Place was compromised in the summer of 1997, the Weasley home became the new headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix. After Scrimgeour was killed and Death Eaters took over the Ministry, most of the Weasley family members played a role in resisting the Death Eater pogroms. Ron's absence from Hogwarts was kept secret by using the family ghoul to fake a case of spattergroit, however, once Ron, Harry and Hermione were captured and the deception revealed, the family moved to Aunt Muriel's house nearby where it was safer (DH24).
The entire Weasley family fought in the Battle of Hogwarts, including Percy who had realized what a twit he had been. Molly's worst fears were made true when Fred was killed in an explosion and later, when Bellatrix attacked Ginny. Enough was enough. Molly fiercely counterattacked and killed her psychopathic cousin before she could threaten anyone else (DH36).
Molly and Arthur have at least twelve grandchildren (DH/e, YL).
Family Tree
Weasley family tree, as drawn by J. K. Rowling, copyright 2007. Chart of the Weasley, Malfoy, Scamander and Potter families, as drawn by J.K. Rowling, 2007 (YL). Members of the Weasley family, in rough chronological order
Septimus Weasley (b. circa 1910s): The husband of Cedrella Black (born between 1912 and 1917). Cedrella's marriage to Septimus (was he a Muggle sympathizer too?) caused her to be "blasted" from the Black Family Tree. Although unconfirmed by Rowling, there is reasonable certainty that Septimus and Cedrella were Arthur Weasley's parents. If this is the case, Septimus could be the grandfather that gave Ron the Wizard Chess set (PS12). See my Notes, below.
Arthur Weasley (b. Feb. 6, circa 1950): Husband of Molly Weasley and father of seven children. Order of the Phoenix Member (second war against Voldemort). Almost died when attacked by Nagini in the ministry in Order of the Phoenix. (More...)
Molly Weasley (b. Oct. 30, circa 1950): Wife of Arthur Weasley and mother of seven children. Order of the Phoenix Member (second war against Voldemort) Famous words she spoke in final battle against Bellatrix Lestrange "NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH" and "You - will - never - touch - our - children - again!" She is a very powerful witch and a very loving mother who would kill to protect her children. (DH36)
Bill Weasley (b. Nov. 29, 1970): Oldest son of Arthur and Molly, he works for Gringotts (previously as a curse breaker in Egypt and during the war at the bank in London); married to Fleur Delacour, and father of Victoire, Dominique and Louis Weasley. (More...)
- Fleur (Delacour) Weasley(b. circa 1977): One of the four Triwizard champions; Married to Bill Weasley and mother to Victoire, Dominque and Louis Weasley.
- Victoire Weasley (b. May 2, circa 1999 or 2000; Hogwarts c. 2011): Victoire is the daughter of Bill and Fleur Weasley. Harry's son, James, caught Victoire snogging Teddy Lupin on Platform 9 ¾ as she was preparing to leave for what was most likely her seventh year at Hogwarts; at the time she would probably have been seventeen, and Teddy nineteen (DH/e). She was born on May 2nd, the anniversary of the victory over Voldemort (YL).
- Dominique Weasley (b. ?): Middle child of Bill & Fleur Weasley, this name could belong to either a boy or a girl (YL).
- Louis Weasley (b. ?): Youngest child of Bill & Fleur Weasley (YL).
Charlie Weasley (b. Dec. 12, 1972): Second son of Arthur and Molly, he works with dragons in Romania. (More...)
Percy Ignatius Weasley (b. Aug. 22, 1976): Third son of Molly and Arthur; employed by the Ministry of Magic. Husband of Audrey Weasley, and father to Molly and Lucy Weasley (YL). (More...)
- Audrey Weasley (b. ?) Wife of Percy Weasley and mother to Molly and Lucy Weasley.(YL)
- Molly Weasley (b. ?): Eldest daughter of Percy & Audrey Weasley (YL).
- Lucy Weasley (b. ?):Youngest daughter of Percy & Audrey Weasley (YL).
Fred Weasley (b. April 1, 1978 d. May 2, 1998): Twin with George and co-creator of Weasley Wizarding Whizzes. Took Angelina Johnson to the Yule Ball in HPGF. Died in the war against Voldemort after he heard Percy make a joke and the castle wall exploded (DH31)
George Weasley (b. Apr. 1, 1978): Twin with Fred, husband of Angelina (Johnson) Weasley (YL). (More...)
- Angelina (Johnson) Weasley (b. late October, 1977): Gryffindor (1989- 1996) Quidditch Chaser, captain (1995 - 1996). A tall black girl (GF16) and an excellent Quidditch player (PS11); born in October, the week before Hallowe'en (GF16). She put her name in for the Triwizard Tournament but wasn't chosen (GF16), and went to the Yule Ball with Fred Weasley (GF22, GF23). Angelina became Quidditch captain in 1995 (OP12), which stressed her out and gave her something of a mean streak (OP13). Later in life, Angelina married George Weasley and had two children, Fred and Roxanne (YL). Angelina probably took the Weasley name when she married George, but this is not certain.
- Fred Weasley (b. ?): Eldest son of George & Angelina Weasley (YL).
- Roxanne Weasley (b. ?): Youngest daughter of George & Angelina Weasley (YL).
Ronald "Ron" Bilius Weasley (b. Mar. 1, 1980): Sixth son of Molly and Arthur, and the best friend of Harry Potter; husband of Hermione (Granger) Weasley (DH/e). Ron helped with WWW after Fred died before working for the ministry. (More...)
- Hermione Granger (b. Sept. 19, 1979): Best friend of Harry Potter and wife of Ron Weasley. (More...) Hermione probably took the Weasley name when she married Ron, but this is not certain. Hermione is the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, she took this position after ....
- Rose Weasley (b. circa 2006): Rose is the older of Ron and Hermione's two children, and their only daughter. On 1 September 2017, Rose was preparing to take the Hogwarts Express to her first year at school, and was rather nervous about whether she'd be sorted into Gryffindor (DH/e).
- Hugo Weasley (b. circa 2006-2009): The younger of Ron and Hermione's two children, Hugo seems to be good friends with Lily Potter (DH/e). In the epilogue to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows which takes place September of 2017, Hugo was not yet old enough to attend Hogwarts, but instead hangs out laughing with Lily on Platform 9 ¾ while his older sister, Rose, prepares to depart for her first year at Hogwarts. Though we don't know his exact age, Lily Potter was nine at the time, and it's likely the two of them were within a year or so of each other's age. This would place Hugo's birth roughly between 2006 and 2009, and his first year at Hogwarts at circa 2019 (DH/e).
Ginevra Weasley (b. Aug. 11, 1981): Seventh and youngest child of Molly and Arthur; She is the "first girl to be born into the Weasley clan for several generations." (JKR). Wife of Harry Potter (DH/e). (See Potter Family for more information on Ginny and her children)
- Harry Potter (b. July 31, 1980): See Potter Family for more information
Other relatives
- Arthur's two (unnamed) brothers (JKR). Is Bilius one of them?
- accountant cousin of Mrs. Weasley - a Muggle accountant who isn't spoken of by the Weasley family (PS6). He or she would actually be a Prewett relative.
- Bilius - uncle to Ron who supposedly saw a Grim and died, twenty-four hours later (PA6). Fred missed him at Bill and Fleur's wedding, saying he always good for a laugh (DH8).
- Lancelot - Great Auntie Muriel's cousin who was a Healer at St. Mungo's (DH8). He is not a Weasley (DH4), but he may not be a Prewett either.
- Mafalda (non-canon; see "Mafalda" below)
- Muriel - Molly's aunt (DH4) and Ron & Ginny's great aunt. She has a lovely "goblin-made" tiara and is apparently is a memorable kisser (HBP14, 29). Muriel is not a Weasley, but as the sister or the sister-in-law of one of Molly's parents, she may not be a Prewett either. Many thanks to Yvonne B. who pointed this out.
- Errol - aged and decrepit, Errol is a family owl. He barely survives some of his deliveries, but he's still hanging in there.
- Hermes - This owl belongs to Percy.
- Pigwidgeon - Known not-so-affectionately as "Pig," this tiny brown owl belongs to Ron (GF5).
The Burrow © 2001 by F.W. ArbacetteNotes on the Weasley family
- Arthur was one of three brothers and had no sister. We don't know his brothers' names.
- Molly's maiden name was Prewett and she had at least 2 brothers, Gideon and Fabian. We don't know if Molly had sisters; none are ever mentioned.
- Ron (and by extension Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George and Ginny) had an uncle Bilius, a great-aunt Muriel and a grandfather who played Wizard Chess. In addition to uncles Gideon and Fabian, of course.
- Ginny is the only Weasley girl for generations.
- Molly refers to a relative as "Our Great Auntie Muriel," but because she says "our," this could mean Muriel was a great aunt of Molly and Arthur, or of Ron and his siblings.
- Molly and Sirius are "cousins by marriage."
o Therefore, Molly's parents are probably closely related to the 'Ignatius Prewett' listed on the Black Family tree. If the Black Family tree Jo auctioned is complete, Ignatius and Lucretia cannot be Molly's parents themselves because they are indicated as being childless.
- Arthur is "something like" Sirius's second cousin once removed. This describes a relationship where one person's great-great grandparent is the same person as the other person's great grand-parent.
o Therefore, Septimus Weasley is Arthur's father. Septimus's children would indeed Sirius's second cousins once removed. Assuming the Black family tree Jo auctioned is complete, this relationship fits the facts and can be explained no other way.
Guesswork (not canon)
- Bilius was one of Arthur's 2 brothers. Not canon: We don't know Bilius's surname and we don't know if Molly had more than 2 brothers. "Uncle" can also be an honorary name given to non-family members, though this doesn't seem likely.
- The grandfather who gave Ron the chess set is Septimus Weasley, Arthur's father. Not canon: We don't know his surname, so it could have been either Arthur's father Septimus, or Molly's father.
Mafalda, the "Weasley Cousin" (non-canon) Rowling had created the character of a female cousin to the Weasleys for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire; however, that character disappeared in rewrites.
On her website, Jo gives some more insight into the character: Her name is Mafalda, she is the daughter of the nameless accountant second cousin (a Prewett cousin through Molly - PS6), and she would have been a Slytherin (JKR). Here's what Rowling has to say in an interview about Mafalda:
Q: Last time we spoke you said there'd be a Weasley cousin. It didn't appear. You've deceived me!
A: It got pulled. Sorry about that. What happened on Book Four, and one of the reasons why it was easily the most difficult to write, which had absolutely nothing to do with Harry being famous or me being famous, was that for the first time my plan fell down. I got halfway through and realised there was a huge gaping plot hole. The two ends just didn't meet. It was entirely my own fault: I should have had the sense to go through it very carefully before I started writing. So I had to do an enormous amount of unpicking and in the process I'm afraid the Weasley cousin disappeared.
Q: Will we see her again?
A: Possibly. I really like her as a character but it's quite a complex plot I'm dealing with so I'm not sure that she'll fit anywhere else. She'll be the "character that might have been." (Nr)
Calculating the ages of the Weasley children
There has been much confusion about the relative ages of the Weasley children. Jo cleared this up on WEB LINKher website with the definitive answer that "Bill is two years older than Charlie, who is three years older than Percy, who is two years older than Fred and George, who are two years older than Ron, who is a year older than Ginny."

Detroit Lions tight end Tony Scheffler has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers with a concussion.
Scheffler, the Lions' No. 2 tight end, sustained the concussion when he was hit by Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher while making a 12-yard reception during the third quarter of Monday night's 24-13 win. Scheffler was transported to a local hospital, where he underwent a CT scan and MRI. Scheffler is expected to return at some point this season, but needs to pass the league's concussion protocol before being cleared to practice or play.
Urlacher was not fined by the league office for the hit.
The Lions re-signed Joe Jon Finley this week in case Scheffler was unable to play on Sunday. If active, Finley will serve as depth behind starter Brandon Pettigrew and veteran Will Heller, who will assume Scheffler's backup role on Sunday.
For more on Scheffler and the Detroit Lions, visit our Lions blog Pride of Detroit. Also be sure to check out all of our fantasy football news and video highlights of the best Week 6 action.

The Bangor Foreign Policy Forum is presenting "Mexico, the Maya, and the End of Time?" a free public talk by speaker Angela Thompson, assistant professor of history at East Carolina University, at 2:45 p.m., Monday, Dec. 17 in the Bodwell Lounge of the Collins Center for the Arts.

I will start this review by admitting that I am a bit biased towards this game. I loved the original short story written by Ellison and when this game came out ages ago I was probably one of the first to buy it.
Our story starts off with human subjects living inside the mind of a sadistic artificial intelligence called AM. AM takes great pleasure in making the last surviving personasread more of human consciousness suffer by manipulating the matrix-like virtual realities they live in.
You will start by selecting a character to play. The game plays like a traditional point'n'click game, with inventory puzzles and clicking on everything when you get stuck hoping you'll find something that will let you continue the story. There were a number of bugs with the original release, and I remember reading that certain versions of the game couldn't be completed because one of the main characters was missing from those releases due to being very similar to/being a nazi. Hopefully this is the uncensored version and the bugs have been fixed!
Back to the positive, great writing and great voice acting. I really liked the story and the characters were well written. I enjoyed the game despite its bugs and some weird gameplay choices. The bottom line is that if you like horror/psychological games and/or adventure games, you will probably enjoy this one as well. Just don't play this right before going to sleep!

I played this game when it came out - I still have the original packaging sitting here on my shelf. I debated whether to give this game 4 or 5 stars. On the one hand it is not as good as some of the very best adventure games, such as Gabriel Knight 1 and 2, or The Longest Journey. However I decided on the higher rating based on the strength of the source material and its uniquenessread more in being a well-done point and click adventure with decidedly adult themes and situations.
When this game was announced I was in college and I had never heard of Harlan Ellison or this story. If you have not read it I strongly recommend you do so as it is fantastic - don't worry it won't spoil the game. For that reason alone I have positive feelings for this game as it introduced me to an author and his collection of work that I now very much enjoy.
The great thing about the game is that it is not a simple retread of the original story (which is rather short and would not supply enough material for a game of this length). Rather, it delves deeper into the backgrounds and personalities of each individual character. Why did AM choose these particular people? What is it about their pasts or their personalities that he chooses to exploit against them?
For those interested there was a fantastic article a while back in Game Informer about the making of this game, focusing on the writer and his collaboration with the notoriously difficult Ellison.

Seriously. Yes there are some graphics violence and disturbing pictures, but the worse is the theme and script in this game. They are superb for its time and very adult in nature.
A more or less classic point and click adventure game in a sci fi setting. You are among the last people in the world and you are being mind....tortured by an intelligence which you might as well callread more the ultimate evil remaining. Or is it?
An easy to play but hard to master game with tough puzzles and not for those who don't have experience in hard adventure games. Unless of course you really want, who am I to stop you?

Safe Teen hangouts
Original post made by Parent of Teens on Jun 26, 2013
They like to go bowling, swimming, movies, buy ice cream or pizza, but that all costs more money than they have. They play ball, Frisbee, etc. but they say there is not enough space in the parks.
Anybody know where bored teens can hang out late afternoons and evenings to give some weary parents a break and doesn't cost them more than their allowance.
on Jun 27, 2013 at 9:18 am
Parent of Teens - With as many parks as we have in Palo Alto, I find it hard to believe there isn't one with enough room to play frisbee. There is definitely space on the fields at Jordan. Aside from the parks, I don't know any place the kids can hang out for free, maybe you can set up some hang out space at your house and some of your kids friends and trade-off evenings?
on Jun 27, 2013 at 1:32 pm
Teens quickly get bored with parks. Palo Alto used to have a teen center just north of downtown, but it is long gone.
May I suggest finding out your kids interests, hobbies, and talents, and signing them up for the appropriate clubs, or check with the Palo Alto Department of Recreation? They have excellent summer programs and activities, as does the Junior Museum and Zoo.

Michael Phelps holds a news conference about his final swim.
If there was any doubt, he again answered the question at this news conference in front of international media that he is, in fact, done with competitive swimming, but not done being competitive.
"This is my first day of retirement and first day of my new life," Phelps said.
For 20 years, Phelps' life has been planned, regimented and choreographed in four-year increments with one goal: being the first Michael Phelps.
An unprecedented 22 medals later, 18 of them gold, he is the best ever.
"It's just time to move on to something else," he said. "You have 20 years staring at the black line at the bottom of a pool is a long time, and I'm looking forward to turning the page and seeing where it leads me."
After chasing gold, Phelps is looking forward to playing golf and chasing a white ball around the green, hopefully not too far in the rough.
While he's done in the pool, Phelps said there is still more work to be done for swimming.
"My competitive part of my career is over. It doesn't mean I'm done with the sport," Phelps said.

Energy, water savings will come out in the washby David Rogers
After moving into my new home in Boynton Beach a few weeks ago, I discovered the clothes dryer didn't work well and produced an annoying clunking sound with every rotation of the drum.
I tolerated it for a while, then decided to head to the local big-brands retailer to find a replacement.
I've long wanted to get a front-loading washer and dryer.
As fate would have it, a sparkling new set of Maytag front-loaders had just been marked down by a $100, and the price was irresistable.
So I didn't resist. $1,800 bucks later, not including a few changes to the water supply pipes and drain system, and I had the stylish washer and dryer of my dreams, in a spiffy blue with silver trim.
The washer uses about 60 percent less water than basket-type machines and it and the dryer use much less energy than the machines they replaced. It will cost just $18 a year to operate the washer each year, according to the estimate on the EnergyStar appliance label.
Now, with the purchase price of the machines being what they were, I should calculate how soon I'll recoup that investment.
Oh, forget it
I'm enjoying them anyway.
Domestic bliss is priceless.

The Steelers entered 2010 as an afterthought. QB Ben Roethlisberger was suspended for the first four games, and top backup Byron Leftwich suffered a knee injury in the final preseason game, forcing the Steelers to turn to young Dennis Dixon in Week One. Division-rival Baltimore looked like a solid favorite to win the AFC North, considering Pittsburgh's seeming plight.
But the Steelers ground out an overtime win vs. Atlanta in Week One, persevered to win at Tennessee the following week despite losing Dixon and getting little from the offense, then got a game to remember from fourth-string QB Charlie Batch in a romp at Tampa Bay in Week Three. Buoyed by exceptional play from the defense, the Steelers went 3-1 without Roethlisberger, thriving during the toughest part of their schedule.
Roethlisberger returned in Week Six, and the Steelers were on their way to winning the AFC North and capturing the conference title before falling in Super Bowl XLV to Green Bay.
No one will overlook the Steelers this season, and in an offseason disrupted by a work stoppage, their organizational stability could be a major asset. The Steelers are experienced, and they are talented.
For all of Pittsburgh's recent success, however, the franchise has a couple unfortunate and surprising lines on its résumé — playoff misses in 2006 and '09 after reaching the Super Bowl the previous season. Avoiding the same fate is a primary goal for the 2011 Steelers.
The Steelers have one of the NFL's most potent downfield passing attacks. Coordinator Bruce Arians' attack will not be confused with a West Coast scheme, not with QB Ben Roethlisberger standing in the pocket until the last possible moment looking for receivers breaking free. The Steelers still can employ a grind-it-out, run-heavy offense at times, but that is not their preference or their greatest strength. Roethlisberger's passing makes this attack go.
Quarterbacks: Ben Roethlisberger has rare ability for the position, possessing a unique blend of arm strength, mobility, accuracy, toughness and field vision. The Steelers' offense can stretch defenses like few others because of his skill set. Roethlisberger has cut down on the turnovers that sometimes plagued him earlier in his career, a positive sign. He is also said to have matured after a four-game personal-conduct suspension last season. The knocks on Roethlisberger? He takes too many sacks — an alarming 274 in the regular season in just seven years in the league. Though he hasn't missed more than four games in any of his seven seasons, the pounding he has taken could exact its toll at some point. Also, he is one off-field misstep from even more severe league discipline. The QB depth took a hit when Byron Leftwich, slated to be the top backup, suffered a broken left arm in the third preseason game. His season could be over. Dennis Dixon could move into the No. 2 role with Leftwich out. Dixon began 2010 as the starter with Roethlisberger out and showed some potential before suffering a season-ending knee injury. Veteran Charlie Batch filled in admirably for Dixon early last season. He knows the offense and can be trusted to make good decisions but lacks mobility and arm strength.
Running backs: RB Rashard Mendenhall has rushed for more than 1,100 yards in back-to-back seasons. He has proven he can be a workhorse back, thriving as the focal point of the offense with Roethlisberger missing the first four games of the season. Mendenhall had 324 carries and caught 23 passes a season ago and will continue to carry a heavy workload this season, with head coach Mike Tomlin showing no hesitation when it comes to using his featured back. Stout and fast, Mendenhall has the speed to get to the corner and run away from the secondary if he gets to the second level. He is not especially elusive but does boast a nice spin move. One concern with Mendenhall — he has struggled to hold on to the ball at times. Isaac Redman will be the top backup to Mendenhall. He's strong and physical — a solid option in short-yardage — and catches the ball fairly well. He lacks speed. Second-year RB Jonathan Dwyer, a powerful plodder, has some upside but must mature. He came into camp out of shape but worked himself into condition. Veteran Mewelde Moore provides further depth. TE David Johnson is the blocking back.
Receivers: WR Mike Wallace is a deep threat capable of outrunning coverages designed to take away the big play. Moreover, he has improved his all-around game, too, becoming a better target on shorter routes. But speed is Wallace's game, and he is at his best when he is sprinting downfield. He is good at tracking and catching the deep ball, a skill that will serve him well even when he starts to lose a step to age. The Steelers' other starting wideout, Hines Ward, is masterful working the middle of the field. Ward's production picked up when Roethlisberger returned to the lineup, and he caught seven passes in the Super Bowl. However, he will be 36 next March, and his catches declined significantly last season. Second-year WR Emmanuel Sanders is quick and was a big part of the offense in the second half of the season. However, he had surgery on both feet in the offseason and missed the beginning of camp because of a left foot injury. Antonio Brown is an improving player; he made the most of his opportunities a season ago and had a strong summer. He's a player to watch and could be tough to keep off the field. Ex-Jet Jerricho Cotchery adds more quality depth. Arnaz Battle will vie to stick as the sixth wideout. TE Heath Miller is one of the AFC's better all-around tight ends, a solid pass catcher and blocker whose numbers don't always tell the story about his contribution. David Johnson could replace the departed Matt Spaeth in some two-TE sets. Undrafted rookie TE Wesyle Saunders has some talent but needs to mature. Veteran John Gilmore is another option at tight end.
Offensive linemen: C Maurkice Pouncey had a major impact on the Steelers' offense as a rookie, starting all 16 games and proving to be a force in the middle of the line. Pouncey possesses a special blend of movement skills, size and power. Already the Steelers' top lineman and a Pro Bowler, he has a very bright future. Pouncey aggravated an ankle injury in the third preseason game, but head coach Mike Tomlin indicated it was not serious. OLG Chris Kemoeatu's play can be hit-and-miss. He can be a mauler in the run game; he's powerful and pulls well. However, he has struggled somewhat in pass protection. There was an open competition at right guard during the summer, with Tony Hills, Ramon Foster and Doug Legursky shaping up as the primary contenders at the position. Hills has good athleticism, but Foster has the experience edge at the position. Legursky, who started for the injured Pouncey in the AFC title game and Super Bowl, has shown steady improvement throughout his career.The Steelers ran well off right guard last season, but as a daily team observer noted, that also might have been a function of Kemoeatu being so strong pulling to his right. ORT Willie Colon was the Steelers' best lineman in 2009 but missed last season with an Achilles injury. He's tough and a solid run blocker but has problems in pass protection at times. Jonathan Scott will replace Max Starks at left tackle. Scott didn't fare especially well in pass protection at times filling in for Starks but improved somewhat as the season went on. Rookie OG Keith Williams has intriguing size and athleticism but needs to improve his work habits. Veteran Trai Essex looks likely to be the top backup left tackle. Rookie OT Marcus Gilbert has excellent size and length but must be tougher. Physical Chris Scott got a look at right guard but likely will be a reserve if he makes the club.
Dick LeBeau's zone blitzes have thrown offenses for a loop in his more than 20 seasons as an NFL defensive coordinator. Pittsburgh employs a 3-4 front and long has drafted successfully to fill the scheme. This is a stout, sound, experienced, tough defense that doesn't give up much ground in the running game and gets after the quarterback on passing downs. The defense's ability to combat spread offenses is a concern, however.
Defensive linemen: The majority of the Steelers' key defensive linemen will be 33 or older by September, but the unit remains a strength all the same. NT Casey Hampton is a force in the middle, one of the major reasons it is so difficult to run up the middle on Pittsburgh. His top backup, Chris Hoke, is stout in his own right and a valuable member of the D-line rotation. DRE Brett Keisel made the Pro Bowl for the first time in 2010. He is athletic and strong at the point of attack. Durability is a concern with DLE Aaron Smith, who missed most of last season with a triceps injury. Ziggy Hood stepped into his place in the lineup, and the defense didn't miss a beat. Hood is a better player vs. the pass than vs. the run, according to a daily division observer. Smith could remain the starter if healthy, but Hood, who showed marked improvement in his second NFL season, is likely to play regularly. Rookie Cameron Heyward will see time at end. Heyward is strong and should fit the scheme well but lacks athleticism, instincts and pass-rush ability. Steve McLendon will compete for a reserve role along the line.
Linebackers: With LaMarr Woodley rushing off left end and James Harrison providing one of the game's most intimidating presences off the right side, this is the NFL's top four-man LB corps. Woodley is tough and strong and is an outstanding pass rusher and run defender. He has been excellent in postseason games throughout his career, too. Harrison is exceptionally powerful and is one of the best pass rushers playing outside linebacker. He is so strong and sudden and plays with such good leverage that he can be an absolute nightmare for taller, slower-of-foot tackles. Like Woodley, he's stout vs. the run, too. Tough and smart, LILB James Farrior continues to play at a high level. He's an effective blitzer. RILB Lawrence Timmons comes off the best season of his career. He was much better vs. the run. Timmons is strong and athletic and has developed nicely in four seasons in the defense. Second-year pro Jason Worilds and rookie Chris Carter are among the reserve OLB options. Strong and fast, Worilds showed some pass-rush ability in limited action last season. Carter is athletic and was a very effective pass rusher at Fresno State but must get stronger and is transitioning from defensive end. He suffered a hamstring injury in the third preseason game. Larry Foote, a former starter, provides experienced depth inside. Second-year pro Stevenson Sylvester backs up inside and provides special-teams value.
Defensive backs: SS Troy Polamalu could be the most valuable defensive player in football. When Polamalu is in the lineup and on top of his game, the Steelers' defense is formidable on every level. Polamalu is outstanding near the line of scrimmage and an exceptional playmaker in coverage, possessing excellent ball skills and a knack for being in the right place at the right time. When he is out of the lineup or compromised by injury, the defense isn't the same. Polamalu missed a pair of games last season with an Achilles injury, and though he returned for the final regular-season game and postseason, he didn't make nearly the impact he did earlier in the season. Durability is the big concern with Polamalu. FS Ryan Clark is instinctive and hard-hitting, a nice complement to Polamalu and a good fit in the defense. RCB Ike Taylor is coming off one of his best seasons. Taylor's height, length, physicality and speed allow him to match up well with bigger receivers. He suffered a broken thumb in the preseason opener but was expected to be ready for Week One. LCB Bryant McFadden is athletic and physical, a solid scheme fit, but teams will be more apt to test him than Taylor. CB William Gay, whom the Steelers re-signed, played better as the nickel cornerback than as a starter and appears best-suited for that role. He has struggled when he has been pressed into the lineup. Rookies Curtis Brown and Cortez Allen were added to bolster the CB depth. Brown is athletic but needs to improve his strength. Allen is big and fast but raw. Reserve Keenan Lewis fits the mold of a Steelers corner with his good size but has underwhelmed in two seasons. He suffered a knee injury in the third preseason game. Second-year pro Crezdon Butler, who has good size and athleticism, is also vying to make the roster as a reserve cornerback. Will Allen and Ryan Mundy are the top backup safeties and special-teams contributors.
PK Shaun Suisham connected on 14-of-15 regular-season field-goal attempts after replacing Jeff Reed and stabilized the position. However, two of Suisham's three misses (counting playoffs) were at Heinz Field, and he does not have an exceptionally strong leg. Daniel Sepulveda and Jeremy Kapinos are the top candidates at punter. Sepulveda is very talented but has suffered three serious knee injuries, including one last season. Swift Antonio Brown will return both kickoffs and punts. The kickoff coverage was better in 2010 than it was in '09, when it was an utter weakness.
With one of the game's elite quarterbacks and a stellar defense, the Steelers rank among the AFC's top contenders and are deserving division favorites. That said, they have failed to make the postseason after their last two trips to the Super Bowl, losing their way in both of those disappointing seasons. If they keep their best form, however, look out — they will be tough again in the playoffs.

Alan Simpson Revisited
by Jonathan Singer, Tue Feb 16, 2010 at 07:19:58 PM EST
According to The Wall Street Journal, President Obama will tap former Clinton Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles and former Republican Senator Alan Simpson "as co-chairmen of a bipartisan commission to tackle the mounting federal debt."
With Simpson's name in the in the mix, I thought it worth revisiting another interview I did about five years ago -- specifically the portion of my conversation with Simpson relating to his views on tackling long-term deficits:
Jonathan Singer: Looking at Social Security, the problem with Social Security, if you take the President's number the program's trust fund will be bankrupt in 2040 or so, at which point benefits will be cut by about a quarter. Medicare, on the other hand, the trust fund will run out within about the next decade. Is it time to focus on Medicare and Medicaid rather than Social Security?
Alan Simpson: No. That would be a real grave mistake. You'd better cure the lesser one before you go for the cancer. Go for the one that is lesser, because the figures are huge. Guys your age will be eaten alive in regard to money. So if they can't resolve Social Security, then don't even try to help Medicare if you haven't done anything on Social Security.
It's not clear whether Simpson's views today are similar to what they were in 2005 when we spoke -- that is, whether he believes it makes more sense to tackle smaller bore problems before addressing the more difficult issues -- but it might be worth it for the White House press corps to ask the question. Presumably Simpson does still agree with with his earlier sentiments on appointing a Commission to take on challenges Congress has been unable to successfully tackle. Here's Simpson on a Social Security Commission:
Alan Simpson: I said [to the House Financial Services Committee], "gentlemen and ladies, you'll never get that done on this end. You'd better appoint a commission and take the heat off yourselves, because you're never going to make it yourselves."
Again, it's not clear that Simpson believes today exactly what he believed five years ago -- but it's nevertheless interesting to get a sense of the perspective with which he approaches his role as co-chairman of President Obama's deficit commission.

A Callaway High School mom who asked not to be identified says her daughter, a sophomore who has Down Syndrome, was sexually assaulted in a school bathroom last Wednesday afternoon.
She says the perpetrator is a 19-year-old male student enrolled in JROTC, who is also a special needs student.
"I want him locked up and arrested," said the mother. "He's 19, she's 16. No one has called me. That's why I'm talking to you all. No one has called me, I'm shocked."
The mom says she only found out about it when a relative, who is also a student at the school, informed her. That relative engaged in a text exchange with a family friend at the school. The text exchange doesn't make it clear whether students, even those involved, took the incident seriously. But it does seem apparent that something occurred.
The mom took her daughter to the UMC Emergency Room, a thorough examination was done, and a Jackson Police Officer took a report. The mother also had a meeting with school officials the next day, but she's angry at what she calls the lack of supervision for her special needs child.
"She has to be assisted," the mother told us. "Special needs students have to be assisted. So does that young gentleman." (My daughter) was in there by herself alone. Where was the assistant she was supposed to be assisted by, who gets paid $15 an hour?"
Late Tuesday afternoon Jackson Public Schools released the following statement: Jackson Public Schools and Jackson Police are investigating an alleged incident that occurred October 9, 2013 involving the sexual assault or encounter of a student by another student at Callaway High School. Once the investigation is complete JPS will take the appropriate action.
Jackson Police say their investigation is active. They're working in conjunction with a child advocacy group.

Former Bantams trio desperate to avoid making history of a different kind at Northampton
Updated 9:24am Saturday 26th April 2014 in Sport By Simon Parker, Bradford City Reporter
A year ago this weekend, City played out their final game in League Two.
The goalless draw at Cheltenham was a meaningless affair as both sides waited for the play-offs.
The contest, for what it was worth, predictably lived down to its billing.
Phil Parkinson had made eight changes to keep his powder dry for the approaching battles that really mattered.
So we saw the last of Matt Duke in City's goal – the hero of the Capital One Cup penalty shoot-outs fittingly bowing out with a clean sheet.
It also proved the final league start for Alan Connell, who was typically subbed just after the hour mark.
That was also it for Zavon Hines while Ricky Ravenhill featured in only a handful more.
They could have all shared a pitch again this afternoon but Hines faces at least six months on the sidelines with a serious knee injury.
Their "anniversary" of that City swansong will take place in the humble surrounds of Dagenham & Redbridge.
It is the archetypal League Two ground – the sort of place that the Bantams got to know all too well during their lengthy imprisonment in football's basement.
Connell produced arguably his best City display there last season, coming off the bench – naturally – to score one and win a penalty, almost inspiring an unlikely comeback.
Today he is likely to take up familiar residence in the away dug-out, once again hoping for a bit-part role.
Unlike Cheltenham last year, the stakes could not be higher for Connell, Ravenhill and Duke.
As Northampton players, this afternoon will be as big as they come for the club.
While they travel to East London, Bristol Rovers host Wycombe. With two games to go, all three clubs are locked on 47 points.
Northampton, with the worst goal difference, occupy the second relegation spot.
Twelve months after sharing the Wembley stage with City in the play-off final, the Cobblers are facing the very real threat of eviction from the Football League.
For Duke, Connell and Ravenhill, the contrast could not be more extreme. Part of the Valley Parade "history makers" of 2012-2013 to members of the Northampton squad that could bring 94 years of football in the top four divisions to a grisly end.
One of the striking images from that glorious Wembley triumph last May was the picture of Connell drinking champagne from the League Two trophy surrounded by his dancing team-mates.
On Monday, he was an unused substitute as Portsmouth inflicted another hugely-damaging home defeat on his current employers.
No wonder footballers are encouraged to savour every moment when things are going well. Unless you're a superstar playing for one of the big four, those highs don't tend to come about very often.
Given Northampton's desperate predicament, three points at Dagenham will spark joyous scenes on and off the pitch. Emotions of relief can be just as powerful as those of celebration.
But I wonder how often those players flick back through the scrap books, switch on the DVD and recall balmier days and occasions that nobody who was part of will ever forget.
The fluctuating fortunes of three former colleagues will not be lost on the present City squad.
For some, this afternoon will mark the last time they sit in Valley Parade's home dressing room.
Changes are afoot this summer with so many contracts up for renewal. Some will be released, others may find more attractive offers elsewhere.
Whatever happens, the team that wrote their name large in the Bradford City history books will be further dismantled before the first ball is kicked in anger in August.
They will leave behind special memories; not just for the fans but the players themselves.
Two of those currently waiting to hear about their City future, Garry Thompson and James Meredith, sat glued to the screen for the first showing of the wonderful We Made History film earlier this season.
They were as wrapped up in the emotion as the rest of the audience at the Bradford Media Museum when the homage to the supporters on play-off final day was aired.
The pair could see at first hand how much their achievements had meant to the people of the city. That feeling doesn't just disappear in the space of a few months.
For that reason, the players are guaranteed a generous reception when they embark on the traditional lap of appreciation round the pitch once this afternoon's final home game is over.
And why Bradford City fans to a man – and woman – will be wishing Northampton every bit of good fortune.

Poor Northampton. Goes to show how fickle football is. Two teams in play offs one goes up and and stays up, other gets relegated (hopefully not) the season after.

first of all sorry for my poor English, I'm from Italy.
I've bought a CK-300 more than 6 months ago. As many know, in order to listen to music and car navigation voice I need to update the sw. Unfortunately here the data cable seems a ghost!
I've contacted Nokia assistance a lot of times, via mail and telephone, but they can't help me. I know that they're trying to have a cable from the headquarters in Finland... I think this is scandalous and ridicolous.
So I'd like to solve the problem by myself: is there anybody in Europe so gentle to find and sell me the cable? I've read here that in UK seems easy to find it.
I'm looking forward for positive replies!
Thanks in advance.
28-03-2009 13:12
Hi paolo76
You cannot purchase CA-138D in the UK but a number of Nokia Accredited Carkit installers have the cable, although the cost incurred in retrieving unit form behind glovebox/dashboard to update if a call-out is involved seems to put people off. Unfortunately newer Nokia carkits use a micro USB connector so there is very little demand for this cable as increasingly unlikely that there would be any future upgrades released for CK-300. If you were in the UK, I would have tried to help you further with this issue.

Hi Paolo
What software version do you have, and what handset?
30-03-2009 10:01
Hi confiture
sw version 1.190 but I absolutely need to upgrade to 1.400 in order to listen to music and car navigation voice.
I've bought the CK300 just for this reason, and I think it's scandalous that it doesen't work and that is impossible to fix it in Italy!
30-03-2009 10:50
Hi paolo76
This is the original software version I think, as my last two purchased versions were v1.2 and have yet to see one come out of the box running v1.4, although Accredited Nokia Carkit Installers may well been requested to upgrade units prior to installation. If and when you manage to get unit upgraded, remember that you still have to alter in Settings in CarMenu application on your device to allow "All Audio events" to get "Voice Navigation" commands to mute the radio.

Hi everybody,
just to tell you that yesterday, after 6 months, Nokia assistance called me: they have found the cable! Incredible. I immediatly run to the assistance and they flashed the sw. Now I've the 1.400 release. But I still can't hear to music and voice navigation... but I know that I certainly have to go to center that installed the kit: there is certainly something to change in the connection with the car stereo. Thanks a lot again, bye, Paolo.
01-04-2009 23:13
You must connect both outputs from the car kit to the stereo.
Mono output to take calls through the inbox ISO cable or 3.5mm socket wiht the little locking block on it.
Stereo output must go to aux in on the car stereo. This is the 3.5mm socket with no locking block but a silver ring on it.

Hi iane71
CA-138D update cable has the multi-plug from CA-113CU at one end and USB at the other. Later units such as CK-100 can use micro USB so no issues with these.

Hi jsut had a CK300 kit fitted on Friday and guess what it has software version 1.2 and the nokia approved fitter knows nothing about a upgrade cable or that the software can be re-flashed.
So can I beg/borrow or buy a cable from someone!!! I would be hapy to pay postage both ways and a bit for lending it. As I can see you can download the firmware update but can't buy the cable.

could i get the same message?
im searching for this cable in Germany, same bad situation.
btw, does anybody know if Nokia is releasing an 5800XM compatible CarMenu-application?
thx, Benedikt
03-08-2009 13:20
Hi there this afternoon I'm going to install the kit.
Any idea about updating the firmware without the special USB cable?
BTW, where would you plug this special cable into the CK-300 unit?
I own a HF-21W unit

Hi blutarsky
The CA-138D plugs into same socket as CA-113CU and if you are UK based have a look here for a list of Nokia Accredited carkit installers whom have the required cable and won't charge much for this very quick procedure to be carried out:http://apps.nokia.co.uk/carkit/http://apps.nokia.co.uk/carkit/
Unfortunately it is against the forum rules to post any disassembly instructions, although it is only a recommendation not a necessity to use CA-138D to update HF-21W unit but why take the risk.

03-08-2009 17:52
Just back from the installer, everything works (almost) perfectly.
Audio streamed via bluetooth seems acceptable, what I dislike is Carmenu applet on the phone, because it doesn't use all the screen size in landscape mode on my N96. I had a go with Carmenu for lanscape phones but it doesn't work at all on my N96.
I believe this software could be improved, at lenght. They (nokia) could have simply enabled remote control navigation everywhere....
One question about the update:
- how do I know what fw version is using my unit?
- any advantage on latest version 1.4?
03-08-2009 20:00
15-02-2010 16:10
I am based in Ireland and noone can tell me where I ca get this cable. I have been in touch with the Nokia Care team, Carphone warehouse and a number of other stores and kit installers. Noone has this cable. Not even Nokia seem to know about it.
Can anyone help me to get my hands on one?
15-02-2010 16:26
Hi Colm
I have replied to your private message
20-02-2010 12:15
Now that the software as again be updated to 1.5 I am still on 1.2 and have no voice from Maps. I have 2 questions what does 1.5 software have extra to 1.4? And why don't nokia sell these cables I have a PDF of how to make one but don't know were to get the plug from I would like to buy as I have this kit in my car and plan to have this for the next 3 years so I am sure would use it again.
I would even rent one if anyone has one as I could post it back after useing it.
Any ideas would be helpful

"We're Smarter Now and Don't Need a God"
For evolutionists, 2009 is a special year of celebration. Not only does 2009 mark the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin, it represents the 150th anniversary of Darwin's On the Origin of Species. It's important to remember, though, that this is not just about science. As the science establishment celebrates the life and achievements of Darwin, they are also rejoicing because they believe that evolution delivered the death-blow to God.
Though most evolutionists fully understand this, many Christians still don't realize that Darwinism and atheism are inextricably intertwined. One of our website visitors summed up the issue quite well in the following e-mail:
"I was struck by your desperate efforts to involve the bible in the debate as if it had some kind of relevance to historical fact and theory. The bible was written by men partly to explain his own origins - now that we're smarter, we don't need to refer back to a less knowledgeable time. Please, think for yourselves by looking at and understanding the world around you - we don't need a god."
That's why the battle between creation and evolution is so important and why a ministry like Creation Moments is so vital at a time like this. As the Year of Darwin gets underway, get ready to be bombarded with new TV specials and magazine articles praising the name of Darwin. Help your kids learn how to resist the evolutionary indoctrination they'll receive at school. And bookmark our website, so you and your family can see where the scientific and historical evidence really points.

Things to consider before getting a new pet:
Energy level - When choosing a pet, it's important to consider the breed's energy level as well as your own activity routine and lifestyle. Will an energetic dog be fun or annoying? Labradors, one of America's most popular dog breeds, love to be active and one walk a day may not be sufficient. However, Bulldogs are perfectly happy with brief walks, long naps and serving as a couch companion for their owners just relaxing at home.
Temperament – Different breeds have different temperaments, which can sometimes cause behavioral issues. Yorkshire Terriers are stubborn and can bore easily. It's best to start training early and keep the sessions short. Yorkies are also suspicious of strangers and will bark incessantly at new people if not socialized properly. Labradors are intelligent, well-balanced and particularly good with children. However, Labs need opportunities to use their intelligence, like obedience and agility training, or they might get into mischief.
Nutrition – A dog's nutritional needs can vary depending on a multitude of factors (age, size, environment), including breed. A Pug's flat face can make picking up certain kibble difficult. Yorkies are susceptible to tooth decay. Labs are prone to weight gain. Chihuahuas can be fussy. Buying the right diet can help offset typical breed-specific issues for your pet.
Grooming – Breeds can differ greatly in the type and amount of grooming needed. Some dogs, like Boxers, require minimal grooming; a weekly brushing will do. Other dogs' coats require much more attention or trips to a professional. Yorkshire Terriers and Shih Tzus need to be brushed daily to avoid tangles in their long, soft coats.

CYMS continued its unbeaten run in the Royal Hotel Cup, defeating Kinross by six wickets on Friday night.
Kinross skipper Toby Polkinghorne was left to rue his decision to bat first, as his troops crumbled, dismissed for just 69.
Charles Litchfield (11), Andrew Litchfield (16) and Charlie Cooper (10) were the only two-blues to reach double figures, as Nick Garton (3-10) and Sam Dwyer (2-10) ran through the students' top order. Al Dhatt (1-22), Todd Murphy (1-6), Chris Novak (1-5) and Pat Madden (1-14) all took one scalp apiece.
CYMS cruised to victory in reply, passing Kinross' total in the 13th over. Despite losing Dwyer (5), Murphy (7), Matt Baker (16) and Dave Neil (5) cheaply, Eddie Wright (24 not out) and skipper Hugh Le Lievre (8 not out) saw the green and golds home with ease.
The win confirms CYMS as heavy favourites for the Twenty20 competition, and secured Le Lievre and his troops a place in the semi-finals.
"Our performance was excellent," Le Lievre said.
"We dropped a few chances, but to bowl Kinross out for 69 is a good effort. Once again the wickets got shared around, and it is very encouraging to see Garto taking wickets for us.
"He's been biding his time in our second grade set up for a while, and now an opportunity has presented itself and he's doing well. Getting them four down was pretty comfortable as well.
"Overall I can't complain about much at all."
Kinross player-coach Andrew Litchfield said a lack of match practice was evident in the students' performance.
"The boys showed how little cricket they've played over the last two or so months," he said.
"But, credit to CYMS, they played very well and we just didn't get enough runs."
The win sets CYMS up to play Cavaliers in the semi-finals.

To achieve your goal of receiving a higher credit score, you should seriously consider adding trade lines to your credit report. But how? And what are these items all about? Let's find out.
A Closer Look at Trade Lines
A trade line is a credit account found in your annual report. It can take the form of a credit card, a personal loan, and even an account with a utility service provider. The issuers of your trade lines are expected to submit reports of your credit and payment activities to the three credit reporting agencies. That way, you can jump-start and gradually build your credit profile.
You need to responsibly manage each trade line. After all, the manner by which you handle each account can influence your credit score as well as your financial prospects.
Excellent Pointers for Consumers
- There are plenty of trade lines you can apply for. You can opt to get a mortgage, car or personal loan, a prepaid, secured or unsecured credit card, and other credit deals. Still, you should see to it that your chosen firms work closely with the three major credit trackers. Otherwise, you might be surprised that your credit and payment activities failed to help you build and maintain a solid credit profile.
- Did you know that your receipts and proofs of payment can help validate the items listed, not just in your monthly billing statements, but even in your annual credit report? In fact, you can use them as references when disputing erroneous items and outdated accounts in your credit files. So, make it a habit to keep them with your other important financial documents. That way, you can simply take them out when a sudden need arises.
- Taking out a trade line is just one part of the equation. It is also important that you manage your existing credit accounts in the best way you can. After all, this can be instrumental for you to attain your target credit rating. To do this, you can simply settle your dues completely and prudently. You should also remind yourself to spend within your credit limit. Finally, you should set a limit to the number of credit accounts you will apply for and manage.
- Do you have old and inactive lines of credit? If you do then, it would be wise to close down some of them. Bear in mind that your old accounts can still influence your credit standing. In fact, they can cause your credit utilization to rise and pull your score down. Hence, if you don't have plans to use them again, it would be best to get rid of them in your annual credit report.
Why Maintain a Good Credit Standing
Always remember that your chances of qualifying for affordable credit programs are actually tied to your credit rating. After all, credit agencies, in general, are only willing to extend low-interest credit programs to consumers they deem as good credit risk. Hence, to receive instant approval on your request for a line of credit then, you should do your best to maintain a solid credit profile.
It is also good to note that a good credit history can be an effective tool for negotiating for low interest rates, flexible payment terms, and less fees and charges. So, you should never disregard the power that it could provide credit applicants, like you.
Examples of tradelines:
* Installment loans
Bad Credit Car loans are a good example of an installment loan. Your current car loan may already be in your report, but what about car loans past? You can add a former car loan that was appropriately repaid onto your current report, adding favorably to your overall score.
In-store accounts for items like refrigerators, washer/dryers, and jewelry that are being paid for on an installment plan should also be included on your credit report if you are making your payments according to schedule. Many of these smaller stores only report to the credit bureaus if an account is placed in collections, ask them to send in a report of your payment history to add a positive tradeline to your credit report. Make sure the creditor notifies all three credit bureaus.
* Mortgage Loans
Again, a current mortgage would likely be listed already, but if this is not your first mortgage, and you have other successful mortgages in your financial past, make sure they are listed. This all still weighs in your favor. If you have paid your mortgage on time with an individual who holds the lien to your home, you should get credit on your credit report for it. Most individuals would be fairly baffled at your request to add a manual tradeline to your credit report, simply write the three credit bureaus and ask that they account be added and give your point of contact's name and phone number for verification. The bureaus will verify the information and have it added to your credit report. Repeat this process a few times a year to keep your information current.
* Secured Loans/Secured Credit Cards
These are types of tradelines that you have secured by putting up something as collateral, such as your vehicle or home. You can obtain a secured credit card by depositing a pre-determined amount of money in an account with the individual company. You can then use that credit card to charge up to that amount and your deposit guarantees the company of being repaid, even if you miss a payment. Secured accounts are a viable way to rebuild credit after a bankruptcy, as long as you pay on time.
* Utility Accounts
Do you pay your monthly utilities in full and on time? Then try to add them to your credit report. Utilities usually only find their way onto your report if you're behind in your payments. Paying these items faithfully each month should boost your credit record, but if your local utility companies don't actively report in to the credit bureaus via a tape system the firm may decline your request to add your history to your credit report. Most will comply and the benefit of having a positive tradeline on your credit report makes it well worth the try.
While there is really no substitute for paying your debts on time each month, it's good to know that there are ways to improve your credit report. The key is knowing what's in your report, and making sure it's kept accurate.

CATEGORIES Horror, Mystery & Suspense, Newsstand, Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, Movies, CinematicalRoger Corman is well-known for being a director and producer of over 300 low-budget films, many of them in the horror category. He is probably most famous for his adaptations of nine different Edgar Allen Poe stories. Between 1960 and 1964, Corman directed House of Usher, Pit and the Pendulum, The Premature Burial, Tales of Terror, The Raven, The Terror, The Haunted Palace, The Masque of the Red Death, and The Tomb of Ligeia. Seven of these films also starred the late, great Vincent Price, and established both Corman and Price in the genre.
Even more impressive is the fact that he churned out five other films during those four years. He's a movie-making machine, folks. Even today Corman continues to produce tons of "schlock" films, and is king of that genre even though he has only directed two films since 1971. He was an enormous influence on directors like Quentin Tarantino, who thrived on the many "Roger Corman presents" films that came out while he was growing up. Tarantino even has his own line of "Quentin Tarantino presents" films, and the upcoming Grind House owes part of its lineage to Corman's own Death Race 2000.
The Drkrm Gallery in Los Angeles hosts a special exhibition celebrating Corman's Edgar Allen Poe films, and will be open October 21st through November 18th. As a fan of bad puns, I had to use the tagline from Drkrm's page about the event: "We pay tribute to them, the legendary Roger Corman and the late Vincent Price with this exhibition of their greatest work together, the likes of which we will see ... NEVERMORE!"
