Arising from difficult situations- Take control of your life
Taking charge of your life is important as it can lead you out of difficult situations. It has been often seen that people are facing trouble in handling their life as they are filled with some traumatic situations in their life, which leads to hassles, which are uncontrollable. This also leads to confusion and a hasty decision making that puts a negative impact on the life of a person. When points or phases of life stars to contradict, it is important to take charge or control of your life as it can help in different ways to give you peace of mind along with serenity, which you are not able to experience because of the tensions.
Methods to take charge of your life
Some of the renowned psychologists from across the world have given various steps or methods, which a person can adopt in their life to take control for leading a positive life in all ways. Below mentioned are some of the steps and methods that can be taken into use.
Exonerate yourself and others: If you are able to account yourself for every mistake you are committing or have committed in your life, then it will help you in attaining serenity which will result in attaining control over your life. Along with this, if there are people in your life, (professional and personal) who have caused any harm, then you should even forgive them with a good heart. This is important because it will eradicate the feeling of hatred, which will bring you back in control of your life.
It has been seen on various occasions that a person who hates others because of some reasons are not able to focus on their lives because they are totally focused on hating that person. By forgiving others, you will feel the calmness in your life and will be able to prevent emotions, which pent up. Once you adopt this method in your life, you will not only be taking the charge back of your life, but will even be able to focus on the solutions of the problems, which are pertaining unnecessarily.
Taking the power of decision in your hand: You might have experienced others keep on nagging about the things, which you have to do in your life. Well, this thing has to be stopped. If you are able to develop the decision making power in your life, you will be able to take charge of your life with ease. This way, you will stop the opportunity with others have of telling you what you have to do. Even though expert advice is needed for performing certain tasks, at the end of the day, you have to make the decision.
By keeping your mind clear and giving the important objectives the priority, you will be able to make the decisions on your own without any support. Anyways, you can take the expert advice, but implementing your own ideas would be beneficial. One advantage, which you can derive from this, is that, people who constantly badger you with their advice will stop doing so as they will realize that, you are in control of your life and are capable enough to take the decisions with ease.
Accepting the truth- It is good to have dreams, but there are certain objectives in life that are next to impossible when it comes to achieving them. There are some facts or truths of life, which you have to accept in life so that you are able to take control of your life in hassle free manner. Once you accept the truth or some harsh realities of your life, you will be able to focus on the positive aspects of life, which you can work hard to attain.
A person does not have control over the future, so it is of no use to ponder uselessly upon them. Once you take charge of your life to make a better present, you can try to build a bridge towards your future. Every day, once you start your work process, you have to keep in mind that, there are some things, which you cannot attain, and there are uncertainties in life, you are hoping for a better future. This way, it would be easy for you to understand the facts and take control of your life in a better manner so that it puts a positive impact.
Develop life objectives: A person who is not having any objective or goal in life does not have charge over their life. It is a fact that, nobody knows what the future has in store, but this should not stop a person in having goals in life. Having objectives or goals in life will help in taking control of life, as you will be able to take the steps, which are important for taking control of your life.
When you are planning the goals in your life, make sure that they are achievable. High dream points in the starting of life might bring unsatisfactory results; hence, it is important to start from small so that you can opt for the systematic process for attaining success and control over your life.
Do it now: Procrastination or just pondering over the dreams would not take you anywhere. It is important to start working on the goals and objectives of your life to attain the success point. This will also lead to have control over your life. The sooner you start on the objectives of your life; you will be able to take charge of your life in a hassle free manner.
The bottom line
Irrespective of how busy life gets, no matter the amount of frenzy appears at present, the most successful people are able to rise in the pandemonium and move towards their life. They can perform this because they know what is important. Their values are their own compass, which they keep them on course despite of the chaos and confusion in life. They maintain some sort of vision of what really matters, what their own life is about and what they need it for being in the future.

In case there was any chance that you don't spend quite enough time stalking your frienemies, perusing through pictures and posting status updates, the Facebook Music service will make it even harder for you to press that dreaded "Log Out" button. The popular social networking website has come such a long way since its single photo and info interface, and where the plethora of applications have not roped you in, perhaps some free tracks will.
There is little information about the Facebook Music service at this point, but apparently users will begin to see it take effect in about a month's time. As is the case for most of the media accessed through the site, the songs that members can listen to through FB will be hosted by its media partners.

Potato marketers neglect consumer diversity

Tara - This is very bold and very thought-provoking. I believe you are right. The primary thing I can think of in defense of Linda is that you have to start somewhere, and if Linda/June is the biggest chunk of the consumer market, then it does make sense to start with her as the low-hanging fruit (already buying potatoes). But there ought to be mention of coming plans for the next 60 percent, to your point. Verrry interesting commentary.

Current Time
Mexico hotels
Mexico hotels stay on the cutting edge of international trends with over-the-top beach amenities and sprawling luxury resort developments. The major luxury hotel chains—Four Seasons and Fairmont, Rosewood and Ritz—are ubiquitous on Mexico's beaches, but so are one-of-a kind, family-run inns and ultralavish hideaways. Most luxury hotels in Mexico are clustered in Los Cabos and the Riviera Maya, many of them combining beach resorts with multimillion-dollar vacation villas. In the cities, you'll find high-end properties catering to business travelers, as well as boutique chains such as Grupo Habita that emphasize clever architecture and hopping nightclubs (be sure to check out the Hotel Habita and Condesa DF in Mexico City). In San Miguel de Allende, Mérida, Puebla, Oaxaca, and other colonial cities, you'll find hotels in restored mansions, convents, and houses. The Web site Mexico Boutique Hotels (011-52-322-221-2227, www.mexicoboutiquehotels.com) lists small lodging options throughout the country, from jungle eco-lodges to historic hotels.
Mexico isn't the budget destination it once was, but you can still find relatively inexpensive lodging in posadas and hostelerías in most cities, even on the coast. Puerto Vallarta, Acapulco, Cozumel, and Tulum are all good choices for travelers on a budget. No matter the genre, however, all hotels in Mexico have distinct quirks and characteristics. Porters, front-desk clerks, and concierges at most high-end hotels are usually bilingual or better, but a smattering of Spanish comes in handy at less expensive hotels and in less touristed regions. Everywhere, housekeepers, waiters, and other service personnel may speak extremely limited English. Patience and courtesy come in handy; the mañana spirit is one of Mexico's charms and challenges.

Haven parks are located all around the English coastline with some surprising history. Here are just a few snippets from the Haven park timeline.
240 million years ago dinosaurs walked on the sandy beach at Devon Cliffs in Exmouth, Brian O'Brien tells us more.
In 1311 the inhabitants of Haggerston Castle were part of the invading force of William the Conqueror. The Slough Fort at Allhallows in Kent built in 1867 to hold seven guns is now part of Slough Fort children's farm and riding stables. Over 100 years ago at Caister in Norfolk the first campers were welcomed in Bell tents and this became the very first every holiday park to open in the UK.
In line with the heritage of their parks Haven offers the opportunity to learn some traditional sports and crafts such as fencing and archery and basic survival skills in their Nature RockZ sessions. However you'll find Haven's accommodation, facilities and entertainment are very much 21st century! Find out more www.haven.com

Computers and radio reception
Name: Doug Moe Status: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: Around 1995
I was wondering what effect the newer type of computers, such as Pentium's and so forth will have on radio's, since FM uses from 88 mhz to 108 mhz; and these computers are running at 60 - 90 mhz. It is certain that they will get even faster, too.
Good question! I would never have thought about it. But you can be sure that the designers of the computers have. All telecommunications equipment (as well as computers) fall under the scrutiny of the Federal Communications Commission ((FCC). Before a new product can be sold it has to be proven that it will not interfere with normal radio/communications broadcasts (the full band of communications). You may find that if you place a receiver very close to your Pentium you pick up a little additional noise -- I am not sure what the exact FCC requirements are. Remember that the 88 (to 108) MHz specified for broadcast frequencies are the CARRIER frequencies. Any signal you pick up on your receiver would be at a frequency that is the difference in your computer's clock rate and the carrier frequency. Since we are unable to hear sounds at frequencies more than (about) 20,000 Hz there would only be one (narrow) band on your radio where you would pick up signal -- assuming your computer has a stable clock. With TV the signal bandwidth is nearly 5 MHz, but again you should only impact one station (if at all). The interference would probably show up as vertical, moving, lines on your TV screen.
Let me re-iterate. The FCC requires certification of new computer products to avoid any major problems. You SHOULD see no effect.

Hey guys!
I am in the process of organizing a couple events in the Seattle/Tacoma area for the first week of April. looking for photographers, if you are interested in helping please contact me (Sierra) I look forward to hearing from you!
Hey all Seattle group members!
The Redmond group is hosting an event in Auburn, WA.
Let me know if you're interested in helping out!
It's definitely happening. I just haven't had time to attend to this. Thanks for the nudge.
I know some other photographers who are interested too.
Is this happening this year? Would love to get involved.
Hi there! Anyone looking to get involved in HP 2012 on the Eastside, I'd like to invite you to join the Redmond, WA group! Looking forward to giving back!
Hi All,
I've started a Redmond, WA HP group! Please go search for it and join! Let's get this up and going! Looking forward to it!!!
I participated in my first HP last year (Providence Vincent House), but I'm on the Eastside, so if there's something organized over here, I'd be interested in that.
Hi Jim and All,
No plans, but I'd love to get something together. I'm new to the area, have participated in HP in New Zealand and Orange County. Never planned one but am considering if there's enough interest.
Any preferences, Seattle vs Eastside?
Hello Jessica,
I've started thinking about it, but nothing specific yet. Do you have plans?
I've only helped 3 years ago. Any organizers doing this again who need help? I'm a photographer, but I'm happy to edit or assist. What ever helps.
Anyone have any plans for HP 2012?

Gabriel Mendes weighed over 300 pounds in the fall of 2001. He had been considering gastric bypass surgery when he learned about the Weight Management Program at The Miriam Hospital. Mendes was in graduate school at Brown University and the school's psychologist recommended the program to him as a possibly less drastic measure.
He only waited two weeks and in January of 2002 he began his first round of treatment in the program. Mendes started on the full fast program, which includes a liquid-only diet of 5 Optifast shakes a day. He was thrilled with the results and had lost more than 80 pounds by the beginning of summer. He took a research trip for school in the summer of 2002 and was unable to take part in the maintenance portion of the program. He was able to keep the weight off for more than a year through diligent eating and regular exercise. As a student without a car, he spent a lot of time biking around Providence to keep the pounds off.
In early 2004, Mendes had begun to regain some of the weight; he had bought a car and was in a new relationship. His lifestyle had become more sedentary and he was focused on the other parts of his life.
In late 2005, he came back into the program and has again lost 90 pounds and is working on maintaining all that he has accomplished.
Mendes explained that many times participants go through the program more than once to achieve their goals. He strongly believes in the tenets of the program, which have helped him to be successful.
The program has helped Mendes to identify behavior patterns that led to his weight gain and the maintenance portion of the program has helped him continue to not slip back into these patterns. He still attends meetings with others in the program and calls them, "a tethering force that keeps you connected to the skills and knowledge of the process."
Mendes explains how his whole entire life has changed. He was heavy since high school and continued to gain weight in college when eating in a cafeteria allowed him as much food and even more than he wanted or needed.
As Mendes describes his experience working through the different levels of the program, he explains how the program has forced him to develop a different relationship with food and to be more thoughtful and conscious about what he eats. Both exercise and keeping a written food diary are very important components for his continued success. He is very grateful for how supportive his family and friends have been through the entire process.
Mendes has found that he loves exercise now and has experienced an increased level of confidence in every area of his life. He is still the same person, but is enjoying "floating through life thinner." He found one of the most telling moments to be when he didn't dread the heat of summer and even describes experiencing weather differently because of his weight loss.
Today, Mendes continues to learn about what he needs to maintain his weight through his new relationship with food. He does allow room for a snack here and there, but knows he'll put a little more time and effort into exercise that day.
For information about weight management, contact the weight management program at The Miriam Hospital.

Australia has the world's third largest fishing zone, extending up to 200 nautical miles out to sea. Despite this size, Australian waters tend not to be as productive as those in many regions, and Australia ranks only 52nd in the world in terms of volume of fish landed. Although the overall amount of fish products caught may be relatively low, Australia's fisheries production focuses on high value export species such as lobsters, prawn, tuna, salmon and abalone. Australia's commercial fishing and aquaculture industry is worth over $2 billion annually and employs around 11 600 people (7 300 directly and 4 300 indirectly) (ABARES 2011). The challenge is to promote a profitable and competitive fishing industry while ensuring the sustainability of Australia's marine ecosystem.
Australia's Commonwealth, state and territory governments manage fisheries on behalf of the Australian people in consultation with the fishing industry, scientists, economists and other user groups, such as those that represent traditional fishing, recreational fishing and the environmental non–government organisations. These management processes are used to implement controls, such as limits on catch or effort levels, and regulations of fishing methods in order to manage Australia's fisheries in a sustainable way.
In very general terms, state/territory laws apply to coastal waters (up to three nautical miles) and Commonwealth laws apply from those waters out to the limit of the Australian fishing zone (200 nautical miles).However, offshore constitutional settlement (OCS) arrangements have been developed in many cases which provide jurisdiction for a particular species, area or fishing method to the Commonwealth or states/Northern Territory.
The Commonwealth has generally limited its jurisdiction to commercial fishing with the state/territory fisheries department's assuming responsibility for recreational fishing.
The Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA) is responsible for the operational management of Commonwealth fisheries. For further information regarding these fisheries visit the AFMA website.
The Department of Agriculture led separate but coordinated reviews of the Commonwealth Policy on Fisheries Bycatch (2000) (bycatch policy) and the Commonwealth& Fisheries Harvest Strategy Policy and Guidelines (2007) (harvest strategy policy). Both policies are central to the sustainability of Australia's Commonwealth fisheries. The reviews were conducted at the same time to consider how the effects of fishing on all species might be addressed through the fisheries policy framework.
On 27 May 2013, the department released the:
The Fisheries Management Review, undertaken by Mr David Borthwick AO PSM in late 2012, has also been released:

Girls Basketball: Lincoln-Way North ousts Lincoln-Way Central
By Logan Malloy For Sun-Times Media February 14, 2012 11:10PM
Taylor Boardman, of Lincoln-Way North, and Lincoln-Way Central's Ashley Newton battle for the rebound. | Gary Middendorf~For Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: March 16, 2012 8:11AM
Anyone looking for offensive fireworks between Lincoln-Way North and host Lincoln-Way Central ... there weren't many.
The teams combined for 21 turnovers and 18 points in the first half of their regional semifinal Tuesday night, with North taking an 11-7 lead into the break.
Central had a 7-5 advantage after the first quarter, but failed to score in the second, and went on a 24-minute field-goal drought spanning all four quarters.
In the end, North prevailed 27-14, thanks to a run midway through the third quarter. The Phoenix scored on three consecutive baskets, starting with an Ashley Weringa three-pointer and ending with a Taylor Boardman bucket in the post for a 20-7 lead.
Stephanie Pearson led North with nine points. Weringa had seven points, Boardman six points and five rebounds, while Ellen Graham chipped in seven rebounds and three blocks.
North (23-5) moves on to play Lincoln-Way East in the regional final on Thursday.
"Lincoln-Way East is playing really well, and their point guard Taylor Johnson is one of the top defenders in the state," Nair said. "We're going to need to take care of the ball against her in order to have any success. If we play tentatively, we'll be in trouble."
Central closed the books at 12-14.
"Lincoln-Way Central did a nice job defensively tonight," North coach Jim Nair said. "In the last 10 games or so we've been playing really unselfishly. Tonight, we needed some girls to play selfish (for better offensive production)."
Central never could shake its offensive woes, sinking four field goals for the game. The Knights stayed close thanks to their defense. Ashley Newton ended their extended field-goal dry spell with two minutes left in the fourth quarter.
Lincoln-Way East 70, Crete-Monee 24: Nine players found the scorebook by halftime as East (24-4) took a 40-13 lead into the break. Caitlin McMahon (21 points) had her way in the post and guard Taylor Johnson (16 points) prospered pushing the ball in transition. Crete-Monee closed at 10-17.

Dean Blumberg, chief of pediatric infectious diseases at UC Davis, said the law -- and the new clinic -- will give parents a chance to discuss their concerns about vaccinations with a health-care professional.
All children in California must be immunized before starting school, unless they have a health condition that prohibits vaccination. Parents also may decline vaccination because of their personal beliefs. A new state law requires that such parents submit a California Department of Public Health form signed by a health-care provider attesting to their decision, starting in January 2014.
The legislation, signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown on Sept. 30, requires parents who decide not to vaccinate their children to obtain a signature from a medical doctor, doctor of osteopathy, physician's assistant, nurse practitioner, naturopath or school nurse before enrolling their child in school. The legislation was sponsored by UC Davis pediatrician and California Assemblymember Richard Pan (D-Sacramento).
Blumberg said parents who do not vaccinate because of their personal beliefs fall into three broad categories: those who have researched vaccinations (often using alternative sources) and are firm in their conviction not to vaccinate; parents who are unsure if they should vaccinate and have general or specific concerns and need more information; and parents who are not vaccinating out of convenience.


text: Chipper Jones: Worth the Injury Risk? April 27 2012 FantasyGuru Baseball, MLB Chipper Jones recently missed the Atlanta Braves' home opener due to an ailing knee. This was the latest in fantasy baseball injuries for the third baseman/outfielder. Sadly, Chipper Jones could not play in his final home Opening Day - he announced this spring that 2012 would be his last season. So when it comes to fantasy baseball 2012, is Chipper Jones worth the injury risk? Probably not. He was barely a top 20 third baseman draft pick for fantasy baseball 2012. Granted, Chipper Jones has had a terrific career, and some have argued that he should be in MLB's Hall of Fame -- but injuries have prevented him from being even greater. In the 1990s, he used to consistently hit over .300, slug over 30 home runs a year, and drive in at least a hundred runs a year. Since his prime, Chipper Jones has been beset by a variety of injuries. He hasn't hit 30 homers or more since 2004 and has not driven in over 100 runs since 2007. He hasn't hit over .300 since 2008, when he did hit .364. He has missed significant time due to fantasy baseball injuries over the past decade. So, if you have Chipper Jones in fantasy baseball 2012, do not expect very much out of him. Even when he is technically not on the disabled list, he could still end up missing days here and there due to injuries. If you are an Atlanta Braves fan, you can cheer Chipper Jones in his final season, but just do not expect him to do much for your fantasy team. He is simply not the player he used to be.

In 2009 I had my dream bathroom built. (A complete addition to the house). One overhead shower head, a handheld (separate diverter) and 2 body sprays at the back of the shower. All Kohler. The first time we used it no water pressure out of ANY of the heads. We took the main one back to the supplier and she gave us a much less expensive one and said; "new plumbing supplies today all have water savers in them" This one will work. And it did. We never were able to use the body sprays as only a trickle comes out. The handheld would work; but would decrease the water in the overhead even on a separate diverter. So since 2009 we have used only the main head. At some point in the past 4 years we had a myriad of people in and they all said; you need a "booster" on your well. We did not want to spend the $2k unless it worked. One company sent a plumber with the booster. He hooked it up at the well pump and it made no difference whatsoever. He shook his head and left. So here I am with a $50k bathroom addition no better than a shower in a cheap motel. I am attaching some photos I took when the install was going on. Any ideas will be appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm barely dangerous on well systems, but I wonder what your pressure is in the house. You can get an inexpensive gauge to thread on a hose bib, ideally near the new bathroom, to see what kind of pressure you have (cold water). I also would see if you get any different results with flow in the shower if you turn the thermostatic valve all the way down (i.e. some sort of restriction in the HW side). I'd also look into how far away the new bathroom is from the feed from the well and how it's tied into the existing system (valves not all the way open?). There's also the issue that, if you turn all this stuff on, the outlets could be consuming around 10 gpm and need 60+ psi. That's both a capacity and head (pressure) question regarding your well pump system. Looking at your piping, the one thing that I notice is the two taps on your diverter valve that are tied to the overhead shower head (first photo). You should check into your valve (ideally you have the brochure) to see if there's a chance it's piped incorrectly. We have a Hansgrohe that does this with one valve (thermostatic plus diverter). It was set up to potentially have shower, tub filler, and handshower/sprays from one valve. Since we just have the two outlets (2 showerheads), you had to pipe the third outlet to one of the others. Like yours. But there's always a (slight) chance that your Kohler diverter wasn't designed to work the way it's piped up. Hope that helps point you in the direction of gathering more info. |

Wells come with certain limitations as to water usage. I don't know who designed that shower in the first place, but they should have told you that instead of just doing what you asked. You're never going to get a "hotel experience" without spending the money for a lot of extra infrastructure to make that happen. That means a much larger hot water supply and pressure tanks to support this addition, with the whole delivery system re-engineered. |
First let me preface with I am a female and sometimes don't understand the technical jargon about pounds per square inch and gallons per minute. Thank you both for replying…….THULL you are correct about the water pressure……really have never had much in the house. We have been here 40 years….after about 20 years the pump in the well was hit by lightening so we had the new one installed in the cellar…..a little better. This new shower is on the second floor and far away from the pump. One plumber I had at the house suggested a booster in the cellar that is connected only to the piping that goes to the new bathroom. As an aside; we learned early on that when someone flushes the upstairs toilet; NEVER to flush the downstairs toilet at the same time as the downstairs will overflow. Now let me address the diverter valve situation……this is interesting. When the install was occurring; I was sent to the plumbing supply house to pick up everything that had been ordered by the plumber (or maybe the contractor). When I came back; I heard the contractor and the plumber talking. The contractor wanted to know why there were 2 diverters when only 1 was needed. The plumber said "no" he needed the hand held on a separate one. Perhaps this is the problem. Also; in the 4 years since this has been done I have had lots of plumbers come through (no one wants to touch it) and one of the plumbers said he too did not understand the piping when I showed him the photos. I have discovered though if you ask 3 plumbers you will get 3 different solutions so now I don't want to have anything done unless I am CERTAIN it will work. Some plumbers say ¾ inch to ½ inch is ok. Others say 1" to ¾ inch would have been better. Others question the 6 foot run from the diverters to the body sprays in the back of the shower….etc. etc. etc. I have no problem replacing the diverters as long as I don't have to break the tile and replace the piping too. I'm sure I have the Kohler instructions. I saved everything and I will check on the design. Hollysprings; you are correct! However; we told EVERY contractor before we did this remodel about the water pressure. We told the plumber before he even began. Everyone said "don't worry about the water pressure…..it's not a problem; even with a well"………obviously I know now they all just wanted the job. And I am so frustrated with this I WOULD re-engineer the whole delivery system if I would be guaranteed it would work. How sad is that? |
Sounds like you need to adjust the pressure switch up on the pump and also check to see how much air you have in your tank. After that is adjusted and checked, then go from there. |

Credit cards will you need to be used increasingly more later on. As banks raise fees for regular accounts and atm cards, so many people are using only credit cards for storing money and making transactions. Check out the suggestions provided below to get some great ideas for utilizing cards more efficiently.
Keep track of the amount of money you happen to be spending when you use a charge card. Small, incidental purchases may add up quickly, in fact it is imperative that you know how much you've got dedicate to them, to help you understand how much you borrowed from. You can keep track having a check register, spreadsheet program, and even having an online option made available from many credit card banks.
When making purchases using your charge cards you must stick to buying items which you'll need as an alternative to buying those that you would like. Buying luxury items with bank cards is among the most effective ways to get into debt. If it really is something that you are able to live without you ought to avoid charging it.
Be certain you only takes place plastic card with a secure server, when making purchases online to keep your credit safe. When you input your charge card information on servers which aren't secure, you might be allowing any hacker to access your data. To be safe, be sure your website commences with the "https" rolling around in its url.
Try your best to stay within thirty percent from the credit limit that's set on the card. Part of your credit rating consists of assessing how much debt that you've. By staying far below your limit, you may help your rating and earn sure no will dip.
A great way to maintain your revolving plastic card payments manageable is usually to research prices for advantageous rates. By seeking low interest rate offers for brand new cards or negotiating lower rates using your existing card providers, you have the capability to realize substantial savings, each and every year.
If you've got several charge cards with balances on each, consider transferring all of your balances to a single, lower-interest bank card. Almost everyone gets mail from various banks offering low or even zero balance charge cards in case you transfer your overall balances. These lower interest rates usually continue for a few months or even a year. You can save plenty of interest and still have one lower payment each month!
When you happen to be making use of your charge card at an ATM make sure that you swipe it and give it back to a safe place immediately. There are many people that will appear over your shoulder to understand the information on the credit card and employ it for fraudulent purposes.
Every time you choose to get a new credit card, your credit score is checked and an "inquiry" is created. This stays on your credit profile for up to a couple of years and a lot of inquiries, brings your credit rating down. Therefore, before you begin wildly obtaining different cards, investigate market first and judge several select options.
Never lend your plastic card to some family member. Even if the friend is a very good website and they are generally really in need from the card, it simply isn't a smart idea to lend yours out. This can lead for your friendship being ruined. Or it can result in in the limit charges if your friend charge over you authorized.
Finding the proper Axis Bank Credit Card Bill Payment Online Billdesk is probably not as elementary as it appears initially.
Talk for a bank about lowering rates. If they're unwilling to reduce the rate, and you've been paying promptly, examine other cards using a better rate. Once you choose one, switch to a bank with better customer support.
When seeking a new card, it's very vital that you comparison shop and try to find a card that's offering money saving deals to new customers. Using a card which offers points or airline miles is fantastic because you will be able to get yourself a little a motivation, whenever you takes place card.
Don't place your plastic card number on anything that is visible to the public. This includes on the backs of postcards, on the outside envelopes, and also on publicly visible (and unsecure) parts of social networking sites like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. Sharing your information about mail or on social networking can result in serious credit theft.
Never lie about your earnings to get a high limit bank card. A lot of companies won't take a look at your wages and they will share cards with bigger limits. This might find yourself causing you to be charge an excessive amount of, in order that it will probably be impossible to spend it back.
Always try to find credit cards it doesn't charge a fee. Some bank cards that charge annual fees make an effort to entice users with bonus offers or cash return incentives. While these types of rewards could be tempting, really think about whether or not they're really worth the annual fee you'll be forced to pay. In many cases, they may be not.
Look over your charge card purchases regularly, and keep any eye in your transactions. Subscribe to mobile alerts should your company offers them. With mobile alerts, you can immediately look into questionable charges. Suspicious activity needs to be reported for your bank along with the police at the earliest opportunity.
If your credit card company purports to lift up your spending allowance, be cautious when you accept. A higher spending allowance in your cards raises your possible debt to income ratio, understanding that can harm your credit rating. If you do not have to have the higher spending allowance, ask your creditor to maintain your balance where it really is, instead.
If you see which you might make a silly purchase or group of purchases let your credit company know. Some situations where advance notice works are international travel and exceptionally large purchases. This makes it unlikely your bank card company will suspect id theft and suspend your account.
A large number of consumers have elected to match charge cards over debit cards because with the fees that banks are tying to atm cards. It is possible for you to figure out how to benefit from forex trading. Implement the ideas you've just read into your life.
We hope this information will enable you to make an informed decision concerning how to find Axis Bank Credit Card Bill Payment Online Billdesk.

To BSN or not to BSN
2Aug 25, '12 by J.D.Hello everyone! I am currently an LVN ( In california ) recently graduated, I have been mostly volunteering and keeping my old job in retail so I can continue school ( at a JC at the moment). My question is, whether to become simply an RN or BSN. There are several programs near my to become both. From what I have research, most hospitals or any acute care center for that matter prefers or wants BSN's. Is that mostly true in California? How is it out of state? or out of the Bay area from Cali?
My question is basically If i become just an RN is it going to be that impossible to get employment? I don't really want to spend another 2-3 years on prereqs and then the 2 more years of nursing. Where as I could just take the 2-2.5 years to become an RN. I know they say, "oh but for BSN you can get into management"...eh thats not really my interest. I want to be there helping people or teach after i have experience. I am more of a holistic nurse at heart anyway. "PREVENTION IS KEY" I always say. haha
Well let me know what you all think. Advise or comments are welcome. Even your own experiences if you do not mind sharing! Thanks and take care!Last edit by Joe V on Aug 25, '12 -
0Aug 25, '12 by RubySlippers06Why would you have two-three years of prereqs? I would contact a BSN program to find out if you get any credit for your LVN course work. Also, you have to think about your ability to get a job after you graduate. I would just go for the BSN if you can. You will need it eventually anyways, especially if you plan on staying in Cali. From what I have heard, it is next to impossible for a new grad to get hired even with a BSN. If you work as an LVN while in NS, you should have a way better chance of getting hired.
0Aug 25, '12 by J.D.Well I went to a vocational school for my LVN. I didn't stop to consider if my coursework would be able to transfer then. Most schools that I have talked to won't accept anything from them, so it's like basically restarting my GE. Thats why i would have another 2 years or so of GE. Especially since the JC i attend has a huge student population, wait lists and few classes area big problem.
Staying in Cali is not a concern for me, I would move. However I would like to stay but its not really a huge deal. Isn't so crazy, people want to be nurses to help out, and even with a BSN as a new grad you may not get a 100% chance of hire. Always amazes me.
For now I'm talking GE to be on track for a BSN program but how long it takes is so discouraging. =/ -
0Aug 25, '12 by BrandonLPNWhere do you want to work? Most LTC facilities don't require a BSN for any position, all the way up to DON. And LTC nursing is more holistic than acute care. Hospitals focus on medical dx, for obvious reasons. If you want to be an actual nursing educator, you will need a BSN, of course. But there's plenty of jobs for ADNs.
3Aug 25, '12 by angel337It depends on where you work and how far you want to advance in your career. I personally think that the more education you have, you expand your opportunities. I used to think that I would never want to work anything other than bedside, but that changed over the years and having a BSN has made it possible for me to get jobs that I would not have gotten without it (not management). Now I am in a Masters program and look forward to those possibilities as well. Good luck with your decision, but more knowledge can only help you.
3Aug 25, '12 by DebCRNBSN, BSN, RNI am really sad about the comment of just an RN. I worked with my ADN for 34 years and I flll like I was an RN not just an RN. Since then I got my BSN and will starting school in Sept for my MSN. I believe that you should go for your BSN. Please don't think that a nurse with her ADN is "just a nurse". Many great RN's out their work with a ADN.
1Aug 26, '12 by DLStangoI am in NY, but I have heard much of what you are hearing in CA. Our hospital is interested in BSN prepared nurses. I work in home care and my agency only accepts RN, BSN nurses as well. I had gotten my RN (after having a BA much earlier) and decided to stay in school to finish the BSN out took a lot of work, but I appreciated the wider appreciation of different aspects of nursing. I have gotten into staff education after being a field nurse and I thought the wider focus definitely helped me. If you have a chance to go for the BSN, I would encourage you to do it (especially if you are just starting out...I did my BSN when it was just my wife and myself before my girls came along). Good luck to you!SE_BSN_RN likes this.
1Aug 26, '12 by nursewithskillsRNs who have their BSN are "preferred" by major hospitals, if not all hospitals, because the
hospitals want Magnet status. The way I understand it, magnet status = more money for hospitals.
Why? Because RNs with BSNs have more exposure to researching for better patient outcomes, preventive health measures, etc.
I would not compared it to a master's or doctorate level but I hope you get the point.
Says who? Academia world and top executives running the hospitals, I would think.
Think of it this way, ADN, BSN, MSN, PhD in nursing do not get paid at the same rate.
The more you know the more valuable you are to the executives and more money will roll in, to the ones at
the top of course.
I'm not implying that this is all a matter of more money for hospitals, but its part of it.
If an individual comes down with some serious, complicated, complex disease or a very delicate surgery is
needed, that person would pick a magnet status hospital over the one that is not, just my opinion.
Check out this link (sorry you'll have to copy and paste into new search box):
Magnet status: What it is, what it is not, and what it could be
I too am a LPN and am in the process of getting my RN
but I will continue for my BSN just because my dream
is to be a NICU nurse or even Nurse-Midwife. But even
if I didn't want to go that far, I'd still go for the BSN
because having people tell you that you need a BSN for a possibly
position is discouraging knowing you work hard for the ADN
and just want to be a good old fashion Nurse at it's simplicity.SE_BSN_RN likes this.

Take 2 minutes to read the report.
I can add a bit of color commentary, and I'm saying all this quite personally as Kevin Slavin:
I believe that having Richard Lincer as Chairman will make an enormous difference in the overall sensibility of the board. I was deeply impressed by how he ran the meeting and his ability to negotiate oppositional points of view.
Just to say it again, Devora Najjar is a rock star. Or whatever we have these days instead of rock stars.
You'll see that there are 5 new trustees. Not all of them spoke up (which is fine, it was their first meeting!) but Eric Hirshhorn was quite vocal. I was impressed by his questions and overall sensibilities. If you meet him, you'll see why.
There are some trustees who are there because they are accomplished in their fields, care about the institution, and bring relevant knowledge to the table. Others are all those things, but also graduated Cooper. I noticed, overall, that there's a difference between them, relative to their positions around tuition. It's obvious when you think about it, but I only realized it through the discussion everyone had. And obviously, it's not 100% true, it's just a general trend I noticed.
The Working Group presentation wasn't just presented, it was also questioned and interrogated some. This was mostly a very productive conversation. Obviously, not everyone supports the assumptions within it, and not everyone agrees on the relative levels of risk in going with one direction over the other.
Ultimately, this is the question: what is the relative risk of each path? There being different types of risk. Financial risk is no bullshit, but nor is the risk of losing the very meaning of the institution.
At one point, an argument was made by one person in favor of tuition because "there could be no downside risk" in the decisions made now. I don't think that tuition lacks considerable downside risk, and it was clear that I was not the only person in the room to think that.
There are those who could critique the lack of immediate decisiveness over which path to take. But as far as I know, this was the first chance to really review and discuss a non-tuition plan. That takes time to digest.
The Code of Conduct discussion, as noted in the report, was pretty good, in my mind due mostly to a very articulate set of points from Devora. I was personally pleased with where that discussion ended up, and I was very upset by how it had been rolled out originally.
One thing not reflected in the notes but not secret either is that there was discussion over how the number of applications for Early Decision are down from last year, quite considerably. I had also heard the numbers from some of you, but the same numbers were presented to the table.
Other things were indeed discussed, but nothing that I think is super substantive. Some very disagreeable statements were made by three or four people there, things that I felt were far from both the reality on the ground, as well as the principles that Cooper aspires to. But those people are in a very small minority and I don't feel that their statements were given disproportionate weight. Overall, the room was filled with a bunch of people trying to figure out how to solve a wicked problem.
There's one other thing I'll add, which was that there was a few thoughtful and important comments from John, from the Huron Group. They have analyzed Cooper's finances quite thoroughly. He speaks with real authority not just on Cooper's numbers, but on the overall field.
These numbers aren't secret: Cooper has around 230MM in debt/liability and only around 80-100MM in assets. This was described as "the worst ratio of any institution in the country."
Whether we go with tuition, or not, Cooper is going to need a bridge loan (you can see in the last page of the WG report there's shortfalls either way). In principle, the WG plan is a smaller shortfall, if it works out exactly as planned.
Either way, the common-sense warning that came with these numbers is that any bank that's going to lend another 30 - 50MM is going to want to want to see new revenue streams. If I were a bank, I would.
This is not good news, and it's not even news, just an interpretation of long-standing facts. But no matter where you stand, on whatever side of whatever line, that's a grim reality.

"My new favorite way to prepare spouts! Couldn't stop eating them. I used about 2 tsp of minced garlic (left it in and served it that way) and added about 1 tsp one lemon pepper to to the butter oil mixture instead of just pepper. I omitted the parm cheese. Awesome recipe -- thanks for sharing!"
"Easy to make and tastes great! I used parsley as I'm not a big fan of thyme. Made my buttermilk with lemon juice and let the scallops sit in it (refrigerated) for about an hour. No leftovers were to be found. I plan on serving this again at an upcoming dinner party."
"Excellent recipe -- tasty and easy to make. I would have given 5 stars except my tasted salty. Next time I make it I will omit the season salt and add a bit more garlic powder. Thanks!"
"Excellent taste and very easy to make. I did not use the Tyme as I'm not a big fan of it. I cut the breast into strips and sauteed in garlic and oil. I also used one extra TBS honey in the sauce and next time may add a little corn starch to make a thicker glaze."
"I enjoyed this recipe and will definitely make it again. I would have rated it higher but as it came out it was too salty for us. This may depend on the type of seasoned salt you use but mine is mostly salt and little seasoning. Next time I will omit the season salt and instead add some minced onion or onion powder."
"Very Tasty. I love garlic and cheese and this came out very tender. A little greasy so next time I will cut back on the butter a bit. Thanks for the recipe!"
"Absolutely delicious and healthy too! I had originally been given this recipe at a weight watchers meeting and subsequently lost it. I was so happy to find it again here. Try it .... you'll like it !!!"
"Wasn't what I was hoping for in a Pasta salad. Tasted just like potato salad with pasta instead of potato -- Yuck."
"It really is the best sauce I've made and I've made a few. What I love about this sauce is how fresh it tastes as soon as you make it. Not like a lot of recipes that say they taste better as leftovers. Also, I've had excellent results simmering for as little as 40 minutes which makes it part of making dinner instead of something you have to pla..."

Pontiac G6
jhayes9835 Posts: 20Every so often when I try to start my 08 G6, nothing happens. When I turn on the ignition switch, I am sure the electrics come on but nothing to the starter. I have notice this when I use the remote start as well. Has anyone had this problem and what should I start looking for? In a seperate issue, every so often I hear a peculiar noise that sounds like a paper bag inflating. This noise happens even when I am driving down the road. Any suggestions?
bvdj84 Posts: 1,721GM is offering preventative maintenance on my 08 Pontiac G6. This includes 4 complimentary oil changes, tire rotation, 27 point inspection. This is very nice of them. I was almost "not" going to open the mail which held this certificate. I normally glance at it, and its typically junk mail. But, was surprised to see them offering this. I thank them for this! This will get me through, planning to trade in the Spring or Summer though.
bvdj84 Posts: 1,721Well, I think they are calling the preventative service. Their cars may no longer be reproduced, but they have maintenance to prevent issues for the company. And to suck up to us a little bit. lol.
The 08 would still be considered as it is still within the time frame of warranties.
But, I was surprised to read further and have this little gift. Glad I actually took time to read it. This will be so nice, this will save a substantial amount of money on just this service.
I just wonder how GM is planning to pay for all of this and what their purpose really was. -
bvdj84 Posts: 1,721I just did a KBB trade value on my G6 and its devastating. I know its because the plummeting values of GM and economy, and perhaps will calm down.
Called GMAC customer service to request a pay off and was hung up on and was like pulling teeth. Very bad! Honda never treated me this way. -
purd8445 Posts: 3I noticed a problem with my 2005 pontiac G6 recently. The heat only works when turned on high. Usually the heat has 4 notches from low to high. I do not know if the knob is broken or if the problem is something more. I have not taken the car to have anyone look at yet. Does anyone had the same problem or know of this problem?
bvdj84 Posts: 1,721It was not by choice. I ended up signing 2 leases the same day. A person in my family had a lease come up and due to changing credit rating they were unable to lease another car. So I leased an 08 Jetta for them, however, VW would not allow me to keep the 06 Accord lease and the new VW lease. So, the dealer really put me in a bind, and well they were trying to help me. The manager then ran a GMAC on a G6 and knew they could get me into a G6 lease too. Which is what happened. I leased 2 cars. But, VW would not allow me to keep my Honda. But, yet GM (more casual with their credit) I am only 23.
Dealer did try to help me out, but....
Looking back on it, I should have slowed down and really looked into before doing anything. Who knows, Honda could have signed me too, then I could have had the car I wanted and my family is taken care of too. I was in a lot of pressure.
Lesson learned. There you have it. First experience and last experience with a GM product. See, I was never a GM person. Never did I think I was going to be looking at the GM side of the dealer. But did end up get a loaded G6 and a killer lease.
Oh well right? I do love my G6. I have the salsa red color, tinted windows and when its clean. She looks great!! Stylish. Sporty looking. Miss the Honda though!!
Advice...Slow down, don't rush. Get what you want. At least I am close to being done with this car. Has lots of memories in it though.
Another good thing. I should have pretty good credit, since I lease 2 cars. Technically in the last 4 years, I have leased a total of 3 cars. -
bvdj84 Posts: 1,721About 1 week and half ago, while getting my oil change... I decided to get my current pay off and trade in value. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was. The salesmen who helped me was even surprised. Now, it wasn't real pretty, but was within the number they thought it would be. Usually they said it was over the amount given to me. I don't have the real numbers in front of me.Sorry .. But, was excited that I am now slowly getting better numbers now, that means by summer, with a better lease special on a VW or Honda, I could potentially get out without too much damage. So, I walked in with a mind set of that it was going to be horrible, but it really wasn't bad.
I am about 1yr away from my lease end. Very excited. Not bashing the car, but it will be so nice to have my Accord or VW back. Whoohoo!! There is light at the end of the tunnel!! -
bvdj84 Posts: 1,721Ok. Some think that I perhaps complain a bit about my G6..lol. BUT.... I got back into my car last night 10:05pm after work. Guess what? Surprise!! I was wanting to roll down my windows and sure enough.....they will NOT roll down!!! Again!!
Realize that this is the 3rd time this has occurred!! Apparently, then it was a window switch triggering it, so they replaced the switch. Now what is it?
I sorta laughed about it...I am like really?? So I have had the car for 2 years now
and have had silly issues with it.
1yr left!! Counting down!! I cannot imagine keeping this car after its warranty!
Luckily my pay off is getting much lower now. There is light! -

bvdj84 Posts: 1,721I leased it! Thankfully! I can walk away from it. I take it to the dealer soon, I hope the find the actual culprit in which is causing the blowing of the window fuse. They though it was the window switch, so the 2nd time they replaced that. Now, the 3rd time....what is it? It is crazy. What if it was raining...I would have to drop it off at the dealer underneath the roofed garage area. That would be horrible. Thanks GM. lol
bvdj84 Posts: 1,721I need any opinions about this:
I contacted my dealer yesterday for an appointment. I was going to bring it in yesterday on my day off. I have yet had time to bring the car in. They stated they cannot see my car until next Wednesday! I told them that this is really disappointing. I am sorta mad about this. It is my windows!!! Their all up, but I simply cannot roll them down. This is not my fault, and I feel like this is my punishment. Makes me feel like that if anything goes wrong that it'll have to wait!! The dealer stated that they service more cars now. That is fine, but when do you draw the line.
I almost feel like I need to tell them that I am dropping my car off, then they will need to put me in a car(even though I do not want to leave my car!) So that they can fix it! This is almost unacceptable.
What would you guys do? I am just more frustrated than anything else. It is just windows. But having to wait just for a diagnoses, then not even potentially getting it fixed is just crazy! -
bvdj84 Posts: 1,721Update:
An electronic module that controls a few of the components such as the buttons, A/C, etc. It is causing the fuse to go out each time. It seems to take a while each time, but will happen again unless this is replaced. So, yet another silly issue with my car. lol. They were more than accommodating, they are willing to come and get my car from work if need be so that work can be done.
So, I am over it. It's their car. -
bvdj84 Posts: 1,721Hello All!!
Okay, I am curious to what warranties apply to me now. I currently have 37,000 miles on my 2008 G6. It is a lease. I can only have 39,000. But, I am wondering if I am over any type of warranty now. There is no way I will make it until next July 11' for my lease turn in. If I go over my 39,000, then what covers me?
I am still in huge debate whether to get out before going any higher in mileage, but now its a question of warranty that I am not too clear on. I certainly won't be paying anything out of my own pocket for this car.
Thanks for your help! -
Kirstie_H Posts: 10,918You're responsible for any out-of-warranty repairs. Even though it is only a lease so it's not technically your car, you are responsible for upkeep on the vehicle. If something isn't functioning properly on the vehicle when you turn it in, and it's out of warranty, you'd likely be charged for it.

bvdj84 Posts: 1,721Yes, but I am still not clear on what I am under warranty for now. I am 1,000miles over my basic 36k warranty.
The reason I ask, is that I think that my steering is clunking like others have stated. It is very vague at this point though. But, I do feel that it will only get worse. Barely noticeable now.
So, I should probably try to get out if I can. Issue after issue now. I have 10 months left on my lease, surely, by now there is something they can do. Especially with model year clearance beginning. Any incentives will help bury negative equity.
It almost feels like that if I continue to keep this car, the more of an issue I am going to have. -
bvdj84 Posts: 1,721I didn't get a response back, but I did find out info from my dealer. My engine and powertrain would be covered, however other repairs might not be. If something like my Windows-they stop rolling. That might be my responsibility.
He advised that I trade sooner than later. As I would still be liable for mileage over the 39k contract limit, even if I trade early before the expiration date. I am not sure if I believe that. But, with the horrors stories about GM leases. I am not willing to take that chance.
Dealer stated the would either take my trade in value/Payoff and figure that into the
new deal or the remaining payments. Which ever number is lower. I have 9month left. Meaning I have approx Approx 2800 being rolled into the new deal. Not real good, but take my trade and pay off, it is probably a bit higher.
I think either way, I could be digging myself a hole if I keep going. Though each month, 1 number goes down, but then more miles dig my value lower. So I have things going for me and other going against me....All at the same time..!! Ahh!
So, I will be looking sooner than later to trade. Certainly not paying GM any more than I have to. -

purd8445 Posts: 3In my 2005 Pontiac G6, my remote keyless entry does not work anymore. When I unlock the door with the key, the alarm goes off and the lights flicker. How do I turn off the alarm?
The last time I was at the dealer, the technician did not have a solution to the problem. Does anyone have any thoughts?
