Ok, so seeing as i spend 23 hours of my day(7 whilst sleeping) thinking about indy i have another post i would love to share with the intellectual peeps here.
Who can we be confident will stay up, and what injuries can we afford/ not afford
People who will stay up:(please take note im only looking at big players, starters, etc)
Peyton Manning, Dallas Clark, Reggie Wayne,Dwight Freeney, Robert Mathis, and Antoine Bathea(spelling on last name?) Gary Brackett i think have shown throughout their careers theyre reliable
But, which guys are injury prone and can kill us?
Gonzos knee(in the future?) Sanders(walking medical bill) Kalvin Hayden(this guy throws himself at offenders, hes a crucial defender we need him! Jeff Saturday(We need this guy!!) Addai(we wont lose much but still...) Vinny-T...
Its a sad thing to think and talk about, but with Gonzo, Polamaloser and Urlacher's early season injuries, we should focus on guys that could kill us if they get sidelined!!! Who do you guys think we can lose without too much affect? And if we lose someone, who are some 2nd or 3rd string people that you predict can shine when put on the spot?

Montreal Canadiens forward Glen Metropolit will be out of commission for 6-8 weeks because of a muscle tear in his left shoulder which occurred after an open-ice hit from Rod Pelley on Saturday against the New Jersey Devils. Metropolit is an effective role player who has added sound offense to Montreal's attack with 16 goals and 13 assists in 69 games.
"Glen will be out for the rest of the regular season," coach Jacques Martin told the team's Web site. "He has more tests to undergo which will give us a better idea, but he's definitely out for the next two weeks."
Metropolit has been a major factor on the powerplay where he leads the Canadiens with ten goals and adds a net presence to what is the league's second-best unit. Montreal has six games remaining and are seventh place in the Eastern Conference.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill -- A controversial measure to fund state teachers' pensions was scheduled for a public hearing Wednesday in Springfield.
However, after a hearing room packed full of people gathered, it was removed from the schedule without explanation.
The measure would take hundreds of millions of dollars in corporate tax income already promised to municipalities and school districts.
City representatives and teachers organizations traveled for hours to attend the meeting.
Peoria Mayor Jim Ardis says the plan would be a disaster for his city.
"If our state legislators support a vote that is going to take six and a half million dollars away from us, it's going to mean cuts to police and fire. It could mean 44 police officers, it could mean up to 48 firefighters, or a combination of both," said Ardis.
One state legislator says it's just another tax increase under wraps.
"There's no way to get around it without higher property taxes. And we've already got some of the highest property taxes in the nation. This is a back door way for a property tax increase without having to take a vote in the state legislature and I'm completely against it," said State Representative Mike Unes, Republican from the 91st district.
Ardis says to make up for the money that would be taken away and not cut city services, Peoria would need to increase property taxes by 25 percent.

There's a lot of talk about Amukamara perhaps being a better fit at safety at the NFL level. Amukamara's straight-line speed has been a topic of debate since Amukamara was torched for 157 yards and two TDs on five receptions by Oklahoma State third-year sophomore Justin Blackmon last October.
Nebraska did not allow scouts to time its prospects in the 40-yard dash before the 2010 season, meaning next week's Scouting Combine will be their first chance to clock him.
Amukamara is widely considered the second best corner in the draft, but Wes Bunting is beating the drum for a move to free safety.
There have been cornerback prospects in the past — Miami's Antrel Rolle and Ohio State's Malcolm Jenkins, for example — who both had slight straight-line speed concerns coming out, which kept them from ever developing into shutdown corners in the NFL. However, much like Amukamara, they were both natural, fluid football players with good ball skills, tackled well in all areas of the game and made the move to free safety, carving out very successful careers there.
Therefore, I do like the idea of a team looking at making the move for Amukamara as a potential safety prospect, since he may not have the straight-line speed to ever be an elite level corner. However, he's got a very similar skill set to both Rolle and Jenkins and could add a lot of value to a defense with his versatility, as he would be able to play in centerfield, could line up over the slot and in the pass-first NFL and could end up being a more valuable player to his team as a versatile ball-hawking safety.
The Sporting News agrees http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/feed/2010-10/draft-dish/story/draft-top-40-prince-amukamara-may-end-up-at-safety#ixzz1EhMn4kCB
Doug Farrar, of Football Outsiders counters with this : "He could be the next great man corner in the league. Prince Amukamara is not a future safety – at worst, he's a decent and slightly overdrafted corner, and at best, he's a star waiting to happen."
NFL.com and NFLnetwork's Mike Mayock believes that LSU's Patrick Peterson and Nebraska's Prince Amukamara "are head and shoulders better than other corners available".
Tony Pauline at www.draftinsider.net has this to say : Hip flexibility is the top indicator of an exceptional cover corner. Amukamara has the best hips of the bunch.
Amukamara is the most polished and NFL-ready cornerback in April's draft. He's also looked upon as a high-character prospect who exudes class off the field. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/football/nfl/02/22/combine.insider/index.html#ixzz1EidAhsRb
He was a consensus All-American despite recording zero interceptions, because most teams refused to throw his way. However, in 2009 he showed his play making ability. Quarterbacks tested him, and he came away with five interceptions, and his play helped Nebraska lead the nation in pass efficiency defense.
His grandfather was the king of the Awo Omamma in Nigeria. His father, Romanus was an elite soccer player in Nigeria. His mother, Christie was a sprinter for Nigeria in the 1984 Olympics.
"I am a bit surprised to hear some questioning my speed," Amukamara admitted. His mother's sprinting pedigree was clearly inherited by her son, who won the Arizona state Class 4A titles in both the 100- and 200-meter dash in 2007. His times in the 100 (10.78) and 200 (21.91) were both the fastest in the state. Amukamara was also a highly-regard high school running back out of Arizona (2,106 rushing yards, 24 touchdowns as a senior).
Prior to the beginning of the season, Amukamara was ranked the No. 1 senior prospect (regardless of position) by National Scouting, the organization that puts on the annual combine and is the preseason scouting service relied upon by over half of the league's teams.
Nevertheless, if a team drafts him with a move to safety in mind, Amukamara will take on the challenge of switching positions just as he did at Nebraska. He signed with the Huskers as a highly touted prep running back.
"I expect to play cornerback in the NFL, but if a team wants me to play elsewhere, I think my past shows that I'm an athlete who can adapt to whatever role is needed."

It's not worthless but it depends on what you're in the mood for on a given day. Which I know I never can predict.
If I watch something with said simplicity (like some
Star Trek
, say) it's often a fleeting flash of comfort. It's a momentary...........'that would be nice...........now where's something that has a whiff of reality about it'. That's not to devalue it, but it depends what day it is I'm watching. The irony is that you can get more depth and meaning out of something that isn't reliant on idealised versions.
Nu-BSG hit home precisely because it was a reflection of
today...........not because it showed an idealised construct of the future that anyone can create if they want to. It was often as bleak as hell because of that, but yet found great moments within it also.
What I wanted to say is that Trek is not on the very opposite of this. It's not a show life Firefly with sympathetic folks who gotta muddle through somehow, it's a show which features "
the best of the best of the best"
Oh God, oh God............
........... I can't
that movie. I want you to go to bed tonight and think
carefully about what you did making me watch that.
However, I find 'best of the best' very dull. They're way less interesting characters.
They can and should mess up, face dilemmas but they should never ever be wicked.
Probably subjective..................I don't see wickedness. But if you want to see wickedness.......just link to more MiB.
By the way, I'd be interested in a non-Starfleet setting like a colony or a trade ship precisely because the characters would not be subject to Starfleet principles.
That would probably be a problem for some fans as well. You cannae win 'em aw!

What: Peter Pan The Show
Where: Pemberton Place, adjacent to World of Coca-Cola
When: Jan. 21 – March 20, 2011
Cost: Preview Jan. 22 – 27 $50. Afterwards, tickets range from $35 – $75. Click for ticket info.
Win Tickets here for the show on Jan. 25 at 7:30 pm
I CANNOT WAIT to see this show! This has been a favorite story for all my boys. In fact, I once had a Disney World schedule derailed by Peter himself. I don't do Disney without a strict plan. There is no room for error or dilly dallying in my Disney plan. For a relaxing family vacation, go to the beach, Disney is all about timing, there is no relaxing:) So when I casually mentioned, "oh look, there's Peter Pan," I had no idea it would take us off on an un-planned, un-scheduled chase to find him (FYI – He's generally near the Pirates of the Caribbean ride)
Peter Pan The Show, is NOT a Disney remake, it's the JM Barrie stage production, perfect for my guys who are a little bit past the animated version. In addition to being an urber cool venue – the show will be in a 360-degree CGI theater, erected in Pemberton Place between The World of Coca-Cola and The Georgia Aquarium, the performance is in-the-round and includes music, puppets, and of course flying.
For the best deal on tickets, go to an early show. Special preview pricing is available for the Jan. 22 – 27 shows – tickets are $50 (then go up to $75). I'll bet there are lots of folks who would like to win tickets too! Here's how you could win 4 tickets to the Jan. 25, 2011, 7:30 pm performance. Each item is a new entry.

Just gave guys their Bowl Champ rings. Told them It's reward 4 winning Bowl game vs #13 Oregon St &momentum for 2013 twitter.com/UT_MackBrown/s…— Mack Brown (@UT_MackBrown) May 2, 2013
"They Are The Joneses"™
Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Mack Brown has now apparently resorted to handing out the equivalent of a participation ribbon in the form of Alamo Bowl "championship" rings. We can only assume orange wedges were also handed out with the "championship" rings.
In his defense, Mack does have a history of recognizing make believe championships.
You've been warned, New Mexico State!

Mike's House is located in Pigeon Cay,an exclusive beachfront
hideway of private homes on the northeast side of picturesque Cat
Island, Bahamas. Built of wood and stucco three years ago, this
comfortable house has cathedral ceilings and ceiling fans
throughout. There are two master suites, each with colorful
seaglass tile baths and french doors leading onto the shady veranda
directly overlooking the ocean. The great room, dining area, and
fully equipped kitchen also open onto the veranda. Your secluded,
powder-sand beach, with perfect swimming -- no undertow, no rip
tide, gently slopping sandy bottom -- is just a few feet down the
path off the veranda.
villa rental amenities
Mike's House has a fully furnished and equipped kitchen (including
herbs and spices and a dishwasher for the serious cook), a washer
and dryer, and dining areas in the great room and on the seaside
shady veranda. Each bedroom has a queen bed and private bath. A
hammock and comfortable outdoor furniture enhance your enjoyment of
the veranda, which is always shady and cool. There are two sea
kayaks with all the trimmings available for guests.

resorts and several restaurants, with cuisine ranging from excellent
to good hearty island fare.
Our on-site manager at nearby Pigeon Cay Beach Club can help with
logistics and answer any questions.
activities and attractions in Bahamas Caribbean
Warm, crystal clear waters and powder-sand beaches make the Bahamas
a water lovers paradise. Some of the best snorkling and diving in
the world can be found in reefs just off the deserted beaches of the
north and east sides of Cat Island. Explore miles of secluded
shorelines by kayak; enjoy world-class charter bone fishing or deep
sea fishing, or fish right off the beach; rent a car or bikes and
explore the countryside for blue holes, caves, and plantation
ruins. Climb Mt Alvernia and explore the Hermitage, built on the
highest point in the Bahamas. Pick up some wonderful woven baskets
and hats still made by hand by crafters on the island.
Cat Island is one hour by air from Ft Lauderdale or Nassau. Rumor
has it that Columbus first made landfall here; Sidney Poitier was
born and raised here. Only 50 miles long and very narrow, with one
road north to south and no traffic lights, unspoiled, secluded,
picturesque and undiscovered Cat Island is the perfect quiet getaway

Looks like John Spencer has decided to go with a new look for the Portland Timbers derby against the Seattle Sounders. Kaliff Alhassan is listed as the second forward, next to Jorge Perlaza. But really, it looks more like the Timbers will be in more of a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Perlaza as a lone striker and Alhassan and Darlington Nagbe as the more attack-minded midfielders. Diego Chara and James Marcelin appear set to play as dual holding mids, while Jack Jewsbury will likely play the more attack-minded central midfielder.
The Sounders will be using a lineup that has become pretty familiar, with Roger Levesque starting at forward as the only thing that approaches a surprise. Erik Friberg gets his fourth straight start as a center midfielder in place of Brad Evans, who did not even make the 18-man roster.
Timbers starters: Perkins, Purdy, Brunner, Danso, Wallace, Marcelin, Chara, Jewsbury, Nagbe, Alhassan, Perlaza. Bench: Brown, Goldthwaite, Hall, Moffat, Zizzo, Cooper, Johnson.
Sounders starters: keller, Riley, Parke, Hurtado, Wahl, Rosales, Alonso, Friberg, Fernandez, Levesque, Montero. Bench: Boss, Ianni, Scott, Carrasco, Neagle, Jaqua, Noonan.

Do You Notice Anything Different About This Toy Catalog? Because Kids Do.
Toys "R" Us officially moved up a few notches in the eyes of progressives by challenging the gender stereotypes that have lined its pages for years. The Swedish version of the toy store did at least. I definitely like the idea of letting kids choose what they want to identify with instead of having it spelled out for them. I really hope this catches on.
maybe some day toy stores in the US will realize that they can sell more toys when they aren't marketing to "just boys" or "just girls"

How To Write An Email
Emails are generally shorter than letters. As they are often written quickly, in response to a request or question, they may contain only a few lines. Informal English, abbreviations, and absence of standard salutations are common when you write emails.
Emails may contain the following elements:
- Subject line
This shows the reader the exact subject of the email
- (Salutation)
This is optional. Some people start with "Hi", others with the first name "Clare", or others with no name or salutation at all.
- Reason for writing
- Main point
- (Closing)
There are a variety of closing phrases, such as "Cheers" or "Thanks". These are also optional.
How to write better emails
1. Use a descriptive subject line.
Say what the email is about in a few words. Instead of writing "Urgent", write "Meeting at 10am about pay rise".
Use a subject line each time you reply to an email, to avoid subject lines starting Re: or R:R:
Be careful to avoid writing general subject lines, such as "Hello" or "Hi", as some email providers automatically delete these as spam.
2. Keep your emails short.
Try to keep to only one point in each email. If necessary, you can send more emails on different points. If you write a descriptive subject line for each email, it's easier for your reader to understand the content of your email.
You don't need to quote all the previous messages in the one you send. You can selectively quote (only including the previous question, for example) by using the angle brackets < < quote here >>.
3. Write simple, direct English.
This is especially important if you're writing to someone whose first language is not English.
Here are some ways of writing simple English:
- use active forms instead of passive forms
- write short sentences rather than long ones (if in doubt, stick to a "who did what to who, how, where and when)
- don't use idioms
- use common words rather than technical or jargon words if your reader is not in the same field as you
4. Make sure your reader knows what to do next.
Help your reader act on your email. For example, if you want your reader to find some information for you, write "Please can you find me the sales figures for 2009" instead of the vaguer "I'm going to need the sales figures for 2009".
5. Reduce the amount of email you send.
Most people receive more – rather than less – email every day. Here are some ways you can reduce the number of emails you send to people:
- make a phone call rather than write an email. This is particularly effective if you only want a quick piece of information
- only send an email to the people who need to see it. Don't automatically click "reply to all" if only one or two people need to read your message.
- don't take part in chain emails (when you have to forward something on to five of your best friends, for example)
- don't reply to spam
6. Don't send heavy attachments.
If possible, send a zip file, or give web addresses where your reader can find information.
7. Be careful what you write in your email.
Try to make your emails informative and polite, and use a neutral tone. Remember that your reader could forward your email to other people, so only write what you would be happy for other people to read. (No gossip, no personal comments, no confidential information and no ambiguous English such as sarcastic humour.)
Avoid using emoticons and smilies in business emails, or too many exclamation marks.
8. Check your email before you send it.
Use a spell check to eliminate spelling mistakes. Read your email aloud to check for grammar and punctuation errors. Ask yourself these questions:
"Is this clear?"
"Does my reader know what to do next?"
"Is this polite?"
Samples for writing emails
There are a number of ways to start the email. In many cases, you can copy the sender and use the same greeting, but if you are the one to write first, here are some possible greetings.
- Friends and colleagues
"Hi" is informal, and you can use it for friends and colleagues.
You can also use "Hello" or "Hello + first name" if you know the person well.
- For acquaintances
Use "Dear Mr Jones" / "Dear Ms Jones" if you know the name of the person. Like with letters, use Ms instead of Miss or Mrs.
- Formal emails
If you don't know the name of the person, you can write "Dear Sir", "Dear Madam" or "Dear Sir / Madam".
- Writing to a group of people
If you are writing to a group of people, you could use a collective noun:
"Dear customers", "Dear partners".
If you are writing to a group of people who work in the same company or department, you could write "Dear All", "Dear colleagues", or "Hello everyone".
- Writing to a group of bosses in your company
Here you could write "Dear Managers", "Dear Directors" or "Dear Board members".
- No greeting
Often in companies, you write quick emails to colleagues. Using email in this way is almost like using the telephone. In these situations, you don't need to write any greeting or name, but just start the message.
Starting your email
Your first sentence should tell the reader what your email is about. Here are four of the most common reasons for writing an email, along with some sentences you can use to start:
1. Replying to a previous email
Thanks for the information.
Thanks for your phone call.
Thanks for getting me the figures.
2. Giving brief updates
Just a quick note to tell you…
Just a quick note to let you know…
Just to update you on…
3. Referring to an attachment
Take a look at the attached file.
Have a quick look at the file I've attached about…
Thought you might find the attached interesting.
4. Changing plans
Sorry, but I can't make the meeting tomorrow.
Sorry, but I won't be able to meet you next week.
Sorry, but something has come up and I can't meet you for lunch.
Your first sentence should only have one theme. For example, your reason for writing may be to ask for help, or to share some information, or to ask a question. Your first sentence for these different situations could be:
"Have you got a few minutes to help me with…?"
"Just wanted to let you know…"
"Regarding X, can you tell me if…?"
If you have more than one reason for writing, give each reason its own paragraph. It doesn't matter if your paragraph is only one line long. In fact, the extra space helps your reader to understand you have more than one reason for writing, and that each reason is different from the other.
Sample email writing
Hi Jo
Just wanted to let you know we got the project! They're signing tomorrow, so we should be starting the planning next week.
Regarding your presentation to them last year, do you still have the Powerpoint files?

When one gets invited to a wedding, it is important that one looks very nice without outshining the bride. This means everything from clothes to makeup to hair. The wedding guest's hairstyle should be simple and put together, instead of downright elegant. For young adult women who are attending a wedding, the key is to do a style that is opposite what she would usually do. If her hair is usually really curly, she should just straighten her hair for a simple and different look.
Older women tend to do their hair the same way they always do their hair. The hair they wear to go to the super market is the same hair they use for a wedding or other special occasion. This isn't a bad idea, because older women do take a lot of pride in their appearance.
Children can very easily outshine a bride, mostly because they are cute in everything they wear. Children are generally forgiven for looking nicer than the bride, because they are young and really don't know any better. It's not that it is wrong to look nicer than the bride, it's just bad manners and it doesn't follow proper etiquette for a wedding.

Sen. Woodson on Reappointment as Senate Speaker Pro Tempore
Release from Senate Republican Caucus:
(NASHVILLE, TN), January 13, 2011 - State Senator Jamie Woodson (R-Knoxville) has been reappointed Speaker Pro Tempore for the Senate, a key leadership role in the Tennessee General Assembly. The announcement was made by Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey.
"I am honored to be reappointed to this position," said Speaker Pro Tempore Woodson. "We have a lot of work to do in the 2011 legislative session. I look forward to working with Lt. Governor Ramsey and our leadership team to move through the tough issues we face."
The Speaker Pro Tempore presides over the Senate at the direction of the Lt. Governor. It also is a key leadership role in the General Assembly, in both public policy and day-to-day operations of the State Senate.
Woodson was also appointed to the Commerce, Labor and Agriculture Committee, Education Committee and the Finance Ways and Means Committee.
The organizational session will be complete upon the inauguration of Governor Bill Haslam. The General Assembly will then take a brief recess to make office assignments before beginning the work of the 2011 legislative year.

NO FINS (atleast that we can see)
This may be stupid and it may not be bothering anyone but me...but...in the teaser trailer when the workers are standing on the nacelle putting the hull plating on, it appears as though the nacelle is curved more than it is in the recently released photo of the new E. I also do not see the fins that are visible on the nacelles either. if anyone has seen the trailer, can you let me know if the fins are there or not?
I don't think that was the nacelle that we saw in the trailer. I think it was the spine of the engineering section facing aft, and that the two "fins" were the bases fo the nacelle pylons.
If you look at the last part of the trailer when we see the front of the ship the engines do have fins, they are a bit hard to make out because of the prespective its in, but they are deffently there. And also i look at the Kelvin and this new pic of the enterprise, there is something bugging me, the quality of the Kelvin is so much better than the quality of that on the Enterprise, so is this actually the new enterprise, or something to throw us off the scent? any oppinions on this?
I didn't see any fins. Enterprise was cruising pretty fast though, and there was a lot going on around her. BTW -- the trailer literally made my jaw drop, it was THAT good.
The Bond movie wasn't great, but not a bad date flick either :P
The Bond movie was a pretty good action film, but it wasn't a Bond movie - which I define by Q and all the neat gadgets that set it apart for ordinary action films.
Analysis and discussion of the Enterprise photo clarify a couple major points: the angle of the shot skews the proportions of the ship, unlike a straight side-shot would display it correctly; also, the nacelles are not glowing so the shot doesn't even appear to be a completed efx shot... unlike the Kelvin photos, which appear to be still frames from the final film sequence itself.
It all looks good in the trailer, though. Having said that, the Kelvin sequence is going to kick major booty, no doubt.
I'll say this much -- fins or not, the ship looks far more properly proportioned, streamlined, and just plain right in the trailer. There are some differences of course, but the new Enterprise (IMHO) pays the proper tribute to her pedigree. Unlike the released publicity photo, when I look at the ship in the trailer, I see Enterprise.
yes ther are fins. you can see it when it goes into warp.

New Product Alert: Decléor Rose D'Orient Night Balm
New Product Alert: Decléor Rose D'Orient Night Balm
Decléor Rose d'Orient Night Balm ($65.50) is a fantastic, rich and soothing product best suited for sensitive skin, irritated and rosacea-afflicted skin. It helps cells regenerate faster while strengthening and calming the skin—all without the use of chemical ingredients and/or preservatives.
The balms are made from essential oils and plant waxes, and Decléor prefers them for the wee hours of the night because their molecular structure is similar to the skin's. This formulation allows skin to breathe like it would naturally and when you awaken, your face feels more supple, less red and it better balanced.
In my opinion, the texture is unbelievable too. It is creamy and it smells faintly of roses (mmm). This small-ish one-ounce jar will last about a year if you are careful—so it's definitely worth the investment if you are on the market for a calming facial night balm.

Maybe you have a favorite holiday recipe that's been passed down for generations. Or maybe you have a new healthier option for the holidays.
You probably have a story, too, about what makes the recipe special to you or your family. We invite you to sample and share recipes and stories at www.sacbee. com/readerrecipes, and help build a "cookbook" of Sacramento Bee favorites. Here are a few that made our mouths water and our hearts sing:
Grandma Zehme's date nut bread
Serves 8
Submitted by Paula Clement, Gold River.
Why this recipe is special:
My husband's mother, Dorothy, was an Air Force wife during the '50s and '60s. Every time (they) got orders they moved: Texas, New York, California, France, Germany and England. Dorothy's mother, Grandma Zehme, always sent, as a Christmas gift, this date nut bread to whatever far-flung location her daughter lived. And Dorothy always enjoyed this taste of home.
Grandma Zehme has been gone many years, as has Dorothy's husband, Edwin. But my husband, David, and I have baked this for Dorothy for the past 30 years. She knows to look for it Christmas morning and she's delighted to open its foil-wrapped package.
2/3 cup boiling water
1/4 cup softened butter
1/2 pound chopped dates
2/3 cup sugar
1 lightly beaten egg
1 cup chopped nuts
1 3/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Pour boiling water over softened butter, dates and sugar. Let cool. Add the beaten egg and nuts and mix well. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt and add until mixed.
Grease two cans about 4 1/2 inches tall by 3 1/2 inches wide. Line the bottom and sides of cans with wax paper. Fill mixture about 2/3 full into can. Press down with spoon. Cover cans with greased baking sheet and weigh down.
Bake in oven 40-50 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before removing from can.
Swedish butter cookies
Serves 30
Submitted by Beverly Riddle of Nevada City.
Why this recipe is special:
I cut this recipe out of The Sacramento Bee in the late 1950s when we lived in Grass Valley. I have made these cookies every year since that Christmas. We are now in the third generation, as my granddaughter in Truckee also makes them. They look like Christmas.
1/2 pound butter or margarine (1 cup)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg white, beaten
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream the butter and add the sugar. Add the egg yolk, cream and vanilla and mix well. Add the flour, which has been sifted with the baking powder.
Form the dough into small balls and dip in egg white and chopped nuts. Make a small indentation in the center of the balls of dough after placing them on an ungreased cookie sheet. Fill the indentation with jelly or a red or green candied cherry cut in half. Bake for 20 minutes.
'Potato' candy
Makes 24 pieces
Submitted by Britta Tigan, Nevada City.
Why this recipe is special:
Our dad, Bob Tigan, started making his "podado" candy right after Thanksgiving so he'd have enough for the holidays. Some years he made 10 or 12 batches.
Most of the grandkids have learned how to make it with him. All the kids loved the candy and they loved making it with Dad.
What a learning experience it was for them! They learned patience because they had to wait up to an hour while it cooled. They learned teamwork because you have to trade off the beating part when your arms get tired. They learned to work fast because when it's ready to shape, you've only got a few minutes to work. They learned about success and failure because when it flops, it's not the end of the world they could eat the sticky goo with a spoon or dig the hardened mess out of the pan with a knife.
And they learned that even the most successful batch had to be shared and only lasted a brief time. Happy times.
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup Pet Milk (must be Pet evaporated, not sweetened condensed)
1 tablespoon butter
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cinnamon, for rolling
Nuts, in small pieces, for "eyes"
Mix sugar, milk, butter, cream of tartar and salt in a sauce pan. Cook to boiling, stirring constantly. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, to 234 degrees on candy thermometer.
Remove from heat, cool at room temperature, without stirring, until lukewarm. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until creamy and quite stiff. Then shape with fingers into small pieces to resemble potatoes. Roll in cinnamon. Insert small pieces of nuts to look like the eyes of potatoes.

Comprehensive Guide to Research Resources
This guide attempts to be a fairly comprehensive listing of printed and digital resources available at the UCSD Library and, in some cases, to some that are available only at other libraries. Due to space and time limitations, however, the annotations are minimal (or nonexistent) and not evaluative. The most comprehensive, rigorously evaluative guide to research resources in English language literatures is the following, which is kept at the Geisel Library Reference DESK collection:
Harner, James L. Literary Research Guide: An Annotated Listing of Reference Sources in English Literary Sources. 5th edition. New York: MLA, 2008. Geisel Reference DESK PR 83 .H34 2008. For information about ordering a personal copy (which I recommend) click here.
Not as recent or thorough as Harner, but possibly worth consulting:
Reference Guide to English Literature. 2nd ed. Ed. D. L. Kirkpatrick. Chicago: St. James P, 1991. PR 106 .S7 1991
Layout of the Pages
I have tried to use consistent colors for the box headers on each page: red for secondrary bibliographies (including article databases), blue for bibliographies of primary sources, green for dictionaries and encyclopedias, purple for collections of online full texts, yellow for links to other useful related websites, and orange for miscellaneous types of resources (e.g., Annals) or specific topics (e.g. a particular major author). On some pages, not all of these categories apply.
NOT ALL BOXES ARE VISIBLE from the top of the page. Please scroll down to see if there are additional boxes than the ones that are visible at the top.
Introduction to this Guide : Please Read!
This Guide contains information about and links to various types of resources--both online and in print (but mostly online)-- including bibliographies, full-text databases, biographical sources, other factual and reference resources, other Web megasites, and some links to specialized websites. The first row of tabs lead to resources that are relevent to all or at least multiple nationalities and periods of English-language literature. The second, third. and fourth rows of tabs lead to resources that are more focussed on particular time periods and/or geographical regions. The fifth and sixth rows of tabs provide links to selected information about libraries in general and the UCSD and UC libraries in particular that are likely to be of use to scholars and students of English-language literatures.
I strongly advise you to consult at least two tabs of this guide to find resources for your area of interest: use one or more of the general tabs on the top row, and then use one of the tabs on the second, third, or fourth rows for the particular area of English-language literature that is relevant for your topic. The period- or geographicacal-specific tabs don't generally repeat all of the useful basic resources listed in the top row of tabs.
All print books--all of which are still useful, and some essential--are located in Geisel Library unless otherwise indicated.
This guide defines Literature in a somewhat traditional, narrow way--i.e. as imaginative, written texts created for the most part by individuals who conceived of themselves at least in part as "writers"--and is focused on literature written in the English language. For resources on literature conceived in a broader cultural context, literatures written in other languages, and disciplines ancillary to Literature, consult the following LibGuides: Classical Studies Critical Gender Studies Ethnic Studies European Studies Film Studies Latin American Studies Theater & Dance
Primary or Secondary?
Traditionally, in literary studies the term "primary" sources refers to published or unpublished works of the author being studied; "secondary" sources to those that are written by others about the subject's life, work, influence, etc. However, the context may make this less rigid, especially when one "primary" author writes about another. A reivew by Virginia Woolf of a book of poems by T.S. Eliot would be a secondary source for Eliot but a primary source for Woolf. And in the broader cultural study of literature, the terms may have little distinction, as practically any text may exemplify the "primary" topic, and literary texts might be viewed as commentary on, or "secondary" to, the topic under consideration. Since this guide is organized around a traditional concept of literary study, primary and secondary are used as above.
What's Not Included in this Guide
This guide focuses on resources relating to English-language literatures principally written for adults in the genres of fiction, poetry, drama, and non-ficton prose and is primarily organized by general works and then by specific historical literary period. It does not try to be comprehensive for children's literature, genre fiction, theater history, the history of books, or cultural and historical background, other than what is covered in resources that are primarily literary in nature.
There is no separate page for examining literature in relation to gender or sexuality; resources in this area are included in other pages.
It excludes printed checklists of criticism intended primarily for undergraduate research, especially those which derived their citations primarily from the MLA International Bibliography or similar sources; most of these are now very out-of-date anyway.
Online Collections of Full Texts
With the exception of Google Books, packages of reference books from a particular publisher, and a few similar resources, the majority of online collections of full texts, whether primary or secondary, are limited to a particular historical period, national or ethnic origin, genre, and/or other parameters. Therefore, relevant collections of full texts are listed on each of the pages of this guide devoted to historical periods and/or national/ethnic categories within English-language literatures.

Heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular events represent the leading cause of death and disability among men and women in western societies. According to the American Heart Association's 2010 At-A-Glance Report, over 831,000 deaths in the United States were caused by heart disease and stroke, substantially more than the approximately 572,000 reported deaths caused by cancer [1]. Cardiovascular disease encompasses many different diseases with patients often suffering from multiple conditions. It is estimated that total global pharmaceutical sales in the cardiovascular segment in 2010 were approximately $116.3 billion [2].
Hypertriglyceridemia refers to a condition in which patients have high levels of triglycerides (fats) in the bloodstream. Triglyceride levels provide important information as a marker associated with the risk for heart disease and stroke, especially when an individual also has low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or HDL-C (often referred to as "good" cholesterol), and elevated levels of LDL-C (often referred to as "bad" cholesterol). It is estimated that over 40 million adults in the United States have elevated triglyceride levels >200mg/dL and approximately 4 million adults in the United States have severe (>500 mg/dL) hypertriglyceridemia. In addition, it is estimated that 34 million adults in the United States have elevated triglyceride levels of >150 mg/dL to 199 mg/dL [3]. In aggregate, approximately 70 million adults in the United States have elevated triglyceride levels. It is estimated that the worldwide number is at least three times the level in the United States [4]. In the United States, mean triglyceride levels have risen since 1976 in concert with the growing epidemic of obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) [5,6]. In contrast, mean LDL-C levels have receded due to aggressive pharmacologic and dietary therapy [6].
Mixed dyslipidemia refers to a condition in which patients have a combination of two or more lipid abnormalities including elevated triglycerides, low HDL-C, and/or elevated LDL-C. Both hypertriglyceridemia and mixed dyslipidemia are components of a range of lipid disorders collectively referred to as dyslipidemia. Dyslipidemia has been linked to atherosclerosis, commonly referred to as hardening of the arteries.

ALBANY, N.Y.—The passage of legislation establishing "Briana's Law" was announced by Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and Assemblyman Felix Ortiz on Tuesday.
"Briana's Law" would require police officers in New York State to be retrained on CPR every two years.
"This legislation provides families with the knowledge that, when and if the time comes, New York State's police force will be ready and able to step up and fulfill its oath to protect and serve," said Speaker Silver.
The legislation is named after Briana Ojeda, an 11-year-old girl from Brooklyn who died after suffering an asthma attack in August 2010.

- About Jeff
Jeff Merkley, the son of a millwright and first in his family to attend college, has spent his whole life fighting for opportunity for Oregon's families. Born in Myrtle Creek, Oregon and spending his childhood in Roseburg, Merkley knows what it's like to live in both rural and urban Oregon, and represents all of Oregon in his work in the United States Senate. His policy education came first from his father, Darrell, who after work each day would read the newspaper, watch the evening news, and run a commentary on how we could improve our nation. Growing up in a middle-class family, Merkley stands firmly on the side of working people during these tough economic times.
Merkley's public service began as a 19-year-old intern with Oregon's former Senator, Mark O. Hatfield. Never in Merkley's wildest dreams did he anticipate that he would return to the Senate 33 years later to represent Oregon in Hatfield's former seat. He considers it a great honor and a great challenge.
Between Merkley's college internship on Capitol Hill and his election to the U.S. Senate in 2008, Merkley immersed himself in public service. As a national security analyst at the Pentagon and at the Congressional Budget Office, Merkley contributed to the dialogue on responsible management of nuclear weapons. In 1991 Merkley returned to Oregon to lead Portland's Habitat for Humanity, which works to empower low-income families through home ownership. Merkley later served as President of the Oregon World Affairs Council, expanding the K-12 education program and launching an International Speakers Series that has brought dozens of distinguished leaders to Oregon such as Mikhail Gorbachev and the Dalai Lama.
Merkley won his first campaign for State Representative in 1998. He was elected Democratic Leader in 2003 and Speaker in 2007. As Oregon's House Speaker, Merkley emphasized replacing bitter partisan warfare with a culture of bipartisan problem solving. The result was a legislative session described by The Oregonian as "Oregon's most productive in a generation." The legislature increased education funding, expanded access to affordable prescription drugs, passed landmark environmental and energy legislation, established domestic partnerships, cracked down on predatory payday and title lending, and created Oregon's first-ever rainy day fund.
Since his election to the United States Senate, Merkley has been focused on getting our nation back on track and Oregonians back to work. He has released a nationally recognized plan to eliminate overseas oil by 2030 by boosting deployment of electric vehicles, increase travel options and improve infrastructure, develop alternative transportation fuels and reduce the use of oil to heat buildings. To take on the high-risk Wall Street trading that got us into the financial crisis, Merkley worked with Senator Carl Levin of Michigan to include in the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act new limits on risky trading by banks. Merkley worked to end deceptive retail mortgage lending practices, and led successful efforts to pass a ban on both hidden steering payments to reward selling consumers high-risk and high-cost home loans, and on prepayment penalties, which locked people into those bad loans. Merkley also successfully included a provision in the 2010 health care reform law that ensures new mothers have the time and space to pump milk at work.
Senator Merkley has the led the charge to make the Senate more functional by reforming Senate rules to prevent gridlock and promote debate. Most recently, Senator Merkley has fought successfully to keep rural post offices open, and sponsored a law that allows for small businesses to raise capital online.
Merkley serves on the Appropriations Committee; the Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee; the Environment and Public Works Committee; and the Budget Committee.
Merkley and his wife Mary Sorteberg have been married for twenty years and have two children, Brynne and Jonathan.

Janelle Monae Talks Vocal Lessons & Signature Style in Marie Claire March 2014
Taking time away from her busy recording schedule, Janelle Monae scored a feature in the March 2014 issue of Marie Claire.
While striking a few poses for the Meredith Jenks-shot spread, the "Primetime" songstress dished about her keen sense of style and her music lessons.
Check out a few highlights from Miss Monae's interview below. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Marie Claire!
On her training:
"The only training I had was calling 'living-room training' [performing at home with her great-grandmother. She would play these scary chords on the organ, and I would just sing and make up church songs."
On her signature look:
"There were no women who performed fully clothed – still to this day there aren't. To me, that was a problem, to say, 'If you want to be in the music industry, you need to be able to sell sex…I want to be in control of my body. I don't ever want a man or woman to tell me to dress that way. I think it's up to me."
On outfit planning:
"If I have to think about my outfit longer than, like, two minutes, I've waster time. Who wants to think about 'What am I going to wear at this performance?' I need to be focused on creating, changing the world."

INDIANAPOLIS — There is a secret to Reggie Wayne's success.
The veteran wide receiver's natural talent is readily apparent to anyone who has seen an Indianapolis Colts game in the past 13 seasons. And everyone who has shown up a little early for training camp practices at Anderson University the past four summers knows about Wayne's unparalleled work ethic.
But there's another — far less public — factor that keeps the 34-year-old's engines running. Fear.
Well, maybe that's not the correct word exactly. But it's certainly something close to that.
Wayne always talks about the cold truth of business in the NFL. Every player is expendable. Each year dozens of younger guys are brought into practice facilities around the league with one goal in mind — stealing sombody else's job.
Wayne combats that the only way he knows how — by approaching each season as though its his rookie year and attempting to impress his teammates and coaches all over again.
Former Chicago Bulls coach Phil Jackson said a similar mentality was one of the reasons his teams remained hungry throughout their six NBA championship runs. Wayne has been selected to six Pro Bowls, and he enters tonight's game against the San Diego Chargers needing just four receptions to become the ninth player ever with 1,000 in his career.
But his approach hasn't changed since the day he was drafted.
"Every year he comes in, it's like starting over," said Colts head coach Chuck Pagano, whose relationship with Wayne dates back to their mutual days at the University of Miami. "He's got his iPad out, he's got his notepad and he treats it like his rookie year. He takes no days for granted, and he takes no practices for granted."

"I wanted to fill the venue with lights from every angle without putting together a large rig," explains Kenny. "I collaborated with Tom McPhillips to come up with a design consisting mainly of MAC 2000s over the stage and Studio Colors and Spots over the audience."
The Source Hip-Hop Music Awards, created by the hip-hop magazine of the same name, is scheduled to air November 30th on BET.

Ed. - Bumped from the Fanposts. I figured we needed a break from all the Phil Taylor/Chris Baker talk. Thanks, Kunk.
Who'll replace Joe Paterno at Penn State (next season)?
More speculation and recruiting nonsense from the Sporting News' Matt Hayes. What I want to know is where does he get his list of prospective successors?
A few weeks ago, a couple of high school recruits revealed that Paterno was telling them that when he retired, he would be replaced by someone currently on staff.
Okay, so then you'd expect a list of mostly insiders, but maybe a few outsiders sprinkled in.
1. Greg Schiano, Rutgers: Could have had the Miami job two years ago and turned it down to reap the rewards of what he has built at Rutgers. A former Penn State assistant, his charismatic personality will pay off on the recruiting trail -- where the Lions have struggled against Pitt, West Virginia, Maryland and yes, Rutgers. Want to know why Penn State is behind Ohio State, Michigan and Wisconsin in the Big Ten? Players.
2. Jim Grobe, Wake Forest: With each season that passes, it gets harder and harder to pull Grobe from Wake. Nebraska and Arkansas both tried last December, and neither could make it happen. Imagine what he could do with the facilities/support/recruiting pull of Penn State. It's scary.
3. Bret Bielema, Wisconsin: One of the most overlooked coaching jobs the last two seasons. Bielema replaced a guy who could run for governor in Wisconsin and get 60 percent of the vote, and he has won 21 games in two seasons. Recruits and fans eat up his home-spun personality, and he obviously knows how to follow a legend.
4. Tim Murphy, Harvard: Highly respected in the coaching community, he was Notre Dame's fallback candidate in 2002 if the Irish didn't land Ty Willingham. A terrific offensive mind, and more than anything, a charismatic coach who commands fear and respect from players. You want coaching chops? In 14 seasons, he has 88 wins and is 9-5 against bitter rival Yale.
5. Tom Coughlin, New York Giants: Don't rule it out, people. Coughlin loves the college game and thrives on the emotional high of teaching and watching players develop into grown men on and off the field. Besides, what else is left in the NFL?
Whaaaa? Bielema? Coughlin? Penn State losing recruits to Pitt and Rutgers? This is the most absurd list of candidates I've ever seen. I've never read anything else from Matt Hayes, but, hey, way to do some research, buddy.


text: I know that the Giants have turned things around, but are we ignoring the fact that the special teams still looks pretty weak. We NEED a good returner, Reynaud is just not getting the job done. And our defense is being put on short fields everytime they come out. If we improve our special teams, there will be a lot less pressure on the offense AND defense. But what are our options at this point in the season?

I watched the fight CEO... and enjoyed it very much. Great fight for Brinkley, he looks much improved since the Contender. He was decent on the Contender though and seemed like a pretty good guy. I remember him doing very well at the challenges the Contender had to offer and knew this guy was solid and very competitive.
Jan 30 2010, 01:30 AM
I watched this fight as well. What a fight, and what a performance. I actually though Brinkley would come through in this fight, as he's come a long way since fighting Bonsante (robbery) and Spina. Those right hands he was landing were brutal, and he was just a better all around fighter than Stevens. He boxed when he needed to, and took over the fight early. Brinkley will get a shot coming up, and he's earned winning his last eight fights.

Atlas basically said that Roach was the opposite of the beer, Tecate....that he had NO character...lol...it was a live and direct shot.
He used Peter Manfredo Sr. as an example...saying that he was what a trainer should be....how his son (Manfredo Jr.) was fighting the same night, but he had an obligation to Brinkley (being his trainer) so he was there...with his Heart into it....
He then talked about how other trainers out there will leave their fighters hangin' at the drop of a hat....like Roach did when he went to train De La Hoya....Atlas straight called him out, and I enjoyed it.
Jan 30 2010, 12:15 PM
Jack, way off topic, but where in Wisc. do you live? I have a lot of family that lives in Wisc.
Anyway, I also liked Atlas' comments about trainers. They should have a little more loyalty to their fighters, and make sure all their fighters are in good hands. I know yesterday our gym had two fighters going out of town for fights. Ron Lyke went with Vanda, who had the fight set in stone for awhile, but they all made sure Wilshaun Boxley was in good hands in Vegas last night. I was surprised Manfredo Sr. was in Brinkley's corner last night. I think they mentioned that Manfredo Jr. told him to go with Brinkley. I heard Peter looked pretty good last night, so it all worked out.

"Since facing and overcoming discrimination for being a transgender woman back in March -- when I was kicked out of and then re-admitted to the Miss Universe Pageant -- I've been working to fight the stigma and discrimination facing people like me," Talackova says in her letter to the WHO.
The petition was initiated by Maxwell Zachs, a cast member of UK reality show My Transsexual Summer.

Which Purple Bouquet for my bridesmaids?
- Posted 3 months ago by bride2beexoxo
- last comment
I have had so much trouble looking for bridesmaids dresses that are long but still under 100 dollars and don't look really plain. Would short dreses just be too weird for January? Where I live, it snows in January. The thing is, I am having the ceremony and reception in 1 building and I figured everyone would get ready there so the weather is not an issue, its just I dont want it to scream summer.
If it would be weird, do any of you bees know great online sites for cheap evening gowns?
I'm saying yes because I'm having short dresses in February. While it doesn't snow in SA, it can get cold. The girls actually wanted short dresses, and nothing is outdoors so I'm not too worried about them freezing.
@littlemisst08: Thanks I was kind of thinking of going with a more winter themed wedding, but not the colors (I want regency and silver), but I wanted branches instead of flowers and a lot of white christmas lights. Do you think it would look weird with that?
It's totally ok. People wear short dresses to fancy events year-round. I'd just have them wear hose/tights.
@Lalk2bee: I think it will be fine. Perhaps buy them a nice wrap or pashmina to make it look a little more winter-like?
It'll be fine if the color isn't summery as well. Find a wrap or something for them in case you want to take outside pictures though!
@NorthernBelle10: Agree with the color advice. My bridesmaids will be in maroon and MOH in charcoal, so I think that adds to keeping it in line with the season.
ETA: They will also be wearing pumps instead of strappy heels/sandals
Sure- but they have to wear tights. Just put them in some black tights.
@Lalk2bee: Oh :/ I think opaque black tights with black shoes looks great! If you really don't like that… maybe keep looking for long gowns?
@Lalk2bee: What state do you live in? Here in Wisconsin I wouldn't have bridesmaids with short dresses in January and not allow them to wear tights…would seem like some form of punishment! LOL
@domesticdiva: lol ya I live in the medwest. Weather can be so different though; you plan for a blizzard but it could be 50.
@Lalk2bee: i think it is! Just pick thicker materials, and consider a higher neckline. Think velvet, thick satin, etc., and avoid flowy chiffon or other lightweight materials. Purchasing wraps for your girls keeps them warm and also makebra great gift.
Short is absolutely appropriate! As long as you keep them in a winter fabric, something thicker, they will look fine! I would also stick with darker colors, as well. A perfect look in my head would be black dress, black stockings, and black shoes! The dark color looks more formal even though it's short, stockings for winter, and you will totally stand out!
I mis-voted, it is fine. I go to plenty of cocktail parties in December and January and everyone wears short dresses. I would just make sure they are knee or tea length, a satin-like fabric, of a darker color, and with peep or closed toe shoes.
Edit: About tights, I think they look super silly with dress clothes. Many people at our Christmas parties (who are DC socialite snobs and rule followers, so they would be like the most judgy of your guests) do not wear tights. I never do, mainly because I want to show off my pedicure in my peep toe shoes. I am never cold when we get dressed at the hotel.

'One-fifth' use payday lenders to pay for home
Updated 8:34am Wednesday 15th January 2014 in News
NEARLY one million people are estimated to have taken out a payday loan in the last year to help cover their rent or mortgage costs, according to research from Shelter.
The housing charity said that one in 50 (2%) people it surveyed said they had done this, which would equate to nearly 885,000 adults if the findings were projected across Britain.
Shelter said it dealt with just under 9,000 calls to its helpline from people struggling to pay their rent or mortgage last year, rocketing by one third (32%) on the total for 2012.
Its findings about the extent to which people are using loans to plug gaps in their finances came from a survey of almost 3,700 people in November who pay rent or a mortgage.
Nearly one fifth (19%) of those surveyed said they had borrowed in some way to cover their rent or mortgage in the last 12 months, including dipping into an unauthorised overdraft, taking out a loan such as a payday loan, ramping up credit card debt or turning to family or friends for cash.
Shelter fears that many people are struggling in silence with the cost of keeping a roof over their head. Two-fifths (40%) of those surveyed said they would not admit to friends or relatives if they were struggling with housing costs and one quarter (25%) would feel too "ashamed" to get help.
Liz Clare, a helpline adviser for Shelter, said: "Anyone at the school gates, in the supermarket or at work could be silently struggling.
"Times are tough, and we often hear from people who've reached crisis point because they haven't felt able to ask for help earlier."
The findings also come after lettings network LSL Property Services reported that a growing troubled minority of households are in severe arrears with their rent. LSL, which owns chains Your Move and Reeds Rains and receivers Templeton LPA, estimated that around 67,000 households across England and Wales in the private rental sector are more than two months behind with their payments.
Shelter quoted mother-of-two Katharine Whittaker who lives near Barnsley in Yorkshire, who often struggles to pay her rent despite working as a call centre manager.
Ms Whittaker said: "I've borrowed money from family and I've had to ask the bank for an overdraft just to keep our heads above water. It's a constant worry thinking about finding extra money."
The whole payday lending industry is currently undergoing a probe by the Competition Commission following deep-rooted problems which have been uncovered in the sector, including lenders appearing to be strongly reliant on borrowers who cannot afford to pay their loans back on time, meaning that the original cost of the loan balloons. The Commission will produce a report later this year.
Earlier this week, consumer group Which? accused payday lenders of "exploiting" customers who default on loans with over-the-top fees that raise the risk of them spiralling further into debt.
Wonga's default fee of £30 was found to be the highest in the Which? research of 17 payday firms. Wonga said the fee is set out clearly and reflects the extra costs it incurs when someone fails to pay their loan back on time.
Payday firms will come under the regulation of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) from April. The FCA has confirmed it is considering default fees as part of work it is carrying out to look at capping the total cost of credit.
The FCA has already outlined plans to crack down on the sector, include limiting the number of times payday lenders are allowed to roll over loans twice, forcing them to put "risk warnings" on their advertising and limiting the number of attempts lenders can make to claw back money if there is insufficient cash in a borrower's bank account to two.
Campbell Robb, chief executive of Shelter, urged those who are struggling with their rent or mortgage costs to seek help.
He said: "Our message today is don't keep your worries to yourself. Shelter's expert advisers can be the difference between keeping your home and losing it."
Russell Hamblin-Boone, chief executive of the Consumer Finance Association (CFA), which represents major short-term lenders, said: " While it is of some comfort that the figures haven't increased since last year, there are still too many people using short-term loans to manage larger debt problems.
"We advise anyone who is regularly struggling to pay their rent or mortgage not to try and borrow their way out of trouble.
"Responsible lenders will help you with a debt repayment plan and put you in touch with a free debt advisor."
Housing minister Kris Hopkins said: " Shelter's figures are based on a small number of calls to their helpline, while LSL's own figures show that the numbers of people in severe rent arrears are significantly lower than this time last year, and are 1.6% of the 3.8 million households who rent in the private sector.
"The economy is improving and rents are falling in real terms. Repossessions and evictions have been kept down by the Government's long-term economic plan, so landlord possession orders remain lower than under the previous administration.
"Moreover, we have provided £470 million of central government funding to ensure we continue to have a strong safety net against homelessness. I would urge people with money worries to get early help and advice so they have the most options available to them."

That's ever so slightly different to saying a fifth of people use a payday loan to cover the rent or mortgage. The majority of these people will have used an unauthorised overdraft after miscalculating slightly about the date of a direct debit, or used a credit card and then paid it off before interest becomes payable.
The actual proportion using payday loans is in all likelihood miniscule, but by adding it to a category with more common short-term solutions, shelter have been able to issue a press release with some very misleading claims - which this paper appears to have bought into without any basic journalistic checks.

whatintheworld says...
those surveyed were specifically asked whether they had borrowed "to cover their rent/mortgage".
this story appears in nearly all of the national papers today. its not that the argus has "bought into" "very misleading claims". it seems you have misunderstood the story.
with any luck, an increase in people defaulting on mortgages will push house prices back down. but obviously its bad news for those who have just taken one out.

_Bryan_ says...
Further, "Shelter's figures are based on a small number of calls to their helpline" according to the housing minister. This would suggest that the survey is not a representative sample of the population, but was instead selected from people calling a helpline due to having problems paying for their housing. Elsewhere, the article states that the survey responses came from "almost 3,700 people"
So to sum up the true story is that 74 people (2% of 3700) who had contacted a national charity dealing with housing problems said that they had used a payday loan during the previous 12 months in order to help pay for their rent or mortgage.
Not much of a headline really is it?

Bought a Single Family home in 2011 for approximately $125K in Greer, SC.
Elvin Rivera was truly a blessing for me and my family. He was very professional and very knowlegeable about the entire process of looking for and buying a home. I highly reccommend Elvin to anyone who wants an honest person who works hard and makes time to be there for you whenever you need him. He is not only a great realtor, but he is also a great friend. Thanks for everything Elvin!

Sold a Single Family home in 2011 for approximately $125K in Mauldin, SC.
Elvin Rivera has been an excellent realtor for me. I know that he went well above and beyond the calls of his duty as my realtor. The man worked deligently to help sell my house. I live out of state and had nobody to look out for me except Elvin Rivera and the man took care of the property as if it was his own. Always kept solid communication open step by step until the deal was done. He along with his extensive team is the reason why my house was sold at a reasonable amount of time. Anybody looking to sell or buy a house I highly recommend Elvin Rivera to be your realtor, you will not go wrong with that decision. The man is very knowable at his craft and has a kind personality that would ease some of the stress you will be going through. In closing, you can check out the rest but if you want the best, look no further that Elvin Rivera at Prudential C. Dan Joyner Co.

Bought a Single Family home in 2010 for approximately $25K in Greer, SC.
Elvin genuinly seeks to find the home you are looking for. His knowledge of the areas, school systems and economy are outstanding. Me and my husband feel blessed to have had him as a realtor because we find him to be honest, trustworthy and professional. He made the whole house buying experience extremely pleasurable. He was there with us every step of the way and explained every question we had. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home.
Response from Elvin on 01/19/2011
Thank you for taking the time to qualify my standard of practice. I enjoy giving my buyers 110% of my attention. It was a pleasure working with you. I am looking forward to a lifelong relationship.

Sold a home in 2010.
elvin is always there for us. he is not only our realtor but he has become a great friend. he i very knowledeable in all ares in realty. I would not ever use another realtor as long as we live in South Carolina. He is the best and there will never be anyone that even comes close to his knowledge or information or in helping do all he can to provide the best service.

Bought a home in 2011.
We had contacted 3 other agents at the same time we did Elvin. Not only was he the only one to respond to us, but guided us the whole way through. He was EXTREMELY helpful and never pushed us into any decisions. Because of this, along with Elvin's advice and knowledge, I think we made the absolute best decision on the home we ended up with. We could not be happier and would (and do) recommend him to anyone who needs an agent. You will not go wtong with Elvin!

Sold a Single Family home in 2011 for approximately $75K in Greenville, SC.
I had the intimidating task of selling a home from 500 miles away. Elvin Rivera is thoroughly professional, most knowledgeable, and has his client's best interests in mind at all times. He is creative and is a good listener. He is careful with details. I recommend him without reservation. Should I have need of an agent in Greenville again, he would be my only choice. He made my difficult task easy.

LAS VEGAS - Paul Davidson and Aaron Workman have been named assistant swimming coaches for the men's and women's teams at UNLV, head coach Jim Reitz announced Wednesday. The two replace Rick Pratt, who left in September to take over as head coach for the swimming program at New Mexico State, and for Jamie Maier, who left in May to pursue other professional opportunities.
"It was a major stroke of good fortune that we were able to get two coaches of this caliber to accept positions on our staff here," said Reitz.
Davidson has five years of collegiate coaching experience, having spent three years as an assistant at Michigan from 1994-1996, and the last two years as an assistant at California Lutheran, where. He has also spent the last nine years at head coach for Conejo Simi Aquatics in Simi Valley, Calif., where he developed several Olympic Trials and National Championship qualifiers. Davidson is a 1998 graduate of UC Irvine with a bachelor of arts degree in film studies and comparative literature. He was a member of the UCI water polo team from 1980-85, and helped them to the 1982 NCAA Championship.
Workman was head coach at Hollins University in Roanoke, Va., from 2002-03, and served as assistant coach at Wittenberg University the next season. A four-time All-American at Kentucky, he helped the Wildcats to four straight top-20 finishes and swam in the 2000 Olympic Trials. He received a bachelor of science degree in broadcasting from UK in 2001.

The dining room at R'evolution.
R'evolution, which opened last summer in the Royal Sonesta Hotel, might seem like a mirage as you enter the serene, stately dark wood bar area just paces from the rowdy, gaudy party strip. But take a few sips of a ratafia-spiked cocktail and you'll be grounded in a delightful reality. That ratafia, by the way, is brandy infused with wild fruit from the swampland. It's made by chef John Folse, who can wax rhapsodic in his mellifluous, soft-edged Cajun drawl about the drink, which he makes in 20-gallon ceramic pots at one of his plantations in Baton Rouge. He'll do the same about the butter, which is nothing short of silken, from the dairy farm on his other plantation 70 miles west.
