WYD-IRAQIS Jul-17-2008 (570 words) xxxi
For some, absence of Iraqis dampens joy of welcoming pope to WYD
By Dan McAloon and Cindy Wooden
Catholic News Service
SYDNEY, Australia (CNS) -- For some participants at World Youth Day, the joy of welcoming Pope Benedict XVI to the World Youth Day celebration July 17 was dampened by the absence of a Chaldean Catholic delegation from Iraq.
Salina Hasham, a World Youth Day employee, has been working for months trying to get the 170-member Iraqi delegation to Sydney.
At first, it seemed the Australian government would not issue any visas to the group, Hasham said. Then 10 visas were granted and, finally, a total of 25 visas were approved.
But as of July 17, she said, "they are stuck in Iraq. They have been at the airport for days, but flight after flight has been canceled."
"It appears forces inside Iraq do not want them to come," she said.
Hasham said the Iraqi youths were committed to celebrating World Youth Day even if they have to do it by praying together at home and organizing their own events.
"But the 25 (who received visas) are still keen to represent their country in Sydney," she said.
Hasham expressed hope that they will arrive before the July 20 closing Mass.
Perhaps no one was as disappointed as the Iraqi and Iranian Chaldean Catholics now living in Australia and New Zealand.
Stifen Kako, 22, of Sydney, said he was saddened that he would not be reunited with Fadi, a boyhood friend from Baghdad, Iraq.
"I last saw him in 2002 just before my family fled Iraq. Fadi is one of the pilgrims who was coming to World Youth Day, but at the last minute we have learned the Australians would only issue visas to the priests and religious," he said.
Wasem Hermiz, 28, one of the Sydney Chaldeans, said he had been told that the Iraqi pilgrims had been refused visas because it was suspected that they would seek political asylum in Australia.
The Iraqi delegation "first became aware there was a problem two weeks ago. They are devastated that it couldn't be resolved. They have done a lot of preparations for World Youth Day in Sydney -- and now it has come to nothing," he said.
Hermiz said the group included priests, religious brothers and sisters, and at least one bishop.
While Hasham said those with a visa still were trying to get out of Iraq, Hermiz said he had heard that "faced with the dilemma of only some in the group coming to Australia, they all declined to come."
"They will be carrying on in the World Youth Day spirit in Iraq with a week of reflections and prayers. They have asked all Catholics to please remember them in their prayers," he said.
In Sydney, Bishop Djibrail Kassab of the Chaldean diocese serving Australia and New Zealand worked closely with World Youth Day organizers and the Australian government to try to get the entire Iraqi delegation to Sydney. Bishop Kassab's diocese includes about 36,000 expatriate Iraqi and Iranian Chaldeans.
Hermiz said: "The bishop has sent many assurances to the Australian government regarding the good character of the pilgrims and their willingness to return to Iraq. We put into place a support network for their stay in Sydney, so we are shocked that these efforts have failed."

Conferences & Special Events on Spiritual Consciousness, Sound, Earth Energies, Shamanism & Transformation in which Zacciah will be presenting IIIHS Canadian Conference on Spirituality (Montreal, July, 2012) * VERMONT SOUND HEALING CONFERENCE (Johnson, VT, Oct 19, 2014)
August 1-10, 2014 Zacciah will present FRI, Sat, and Sun, August 8-10 topics and practices described below:
1- Friday evening, , 2- Sat afternoon, and 3- Sun AM. 1- The New Earth, The New Humanity, the New Paradigm: Visioning, Creating, Manifesting One's Highest Potential
We are in time of profound transformation and realization.
Step back just 3 years, 5 years, ten, looking at your own
life, and that of a more cultural or global perspective, and
you will see the real change which is occurring. (Step back
the 39 years the Rossners have been creating this tremendous
conference, if you can imagine that, but for a moment, and
you will see astronomical changes which have occurred, and
are occurring, within our culture, society, and planet.
Where were you, in 1965?)
We are on the precipice of even greater, and unique, transformation, self awareness, and realization. Join master sound healer and Sacred Sound channel Zacciah Blackburn, PhD, as he reviews aspects of what is happening in this global transformation, what to expect, and how to envision, embrace, and embody the New Earth, and New Humanity, with our individual and collective vision. It is up to each of us to take part. Indeed, we all are a part of this New Earth. Expect a richly transformative, direct experiential practice to be part of this presentation. Zacciah brings a heart felt, and engaging wisdom, which is part of his programs. 2- Using Sound as a Transformative Tool
Therapeutic Sound as a tool for healing and transformation,
has growing interest and realization of its effect on human
consciousness and wellness.
It is being integrated into traditional models of therapeutic intervention with great success, as well as being utilized on an individual basis for personal and professional healing and wellness. Join master sound healer and Sacred Sound channel, Zacciah Blackburn, PhD, as he presents the use and understanding of sound instruments and voice for therapeutic application. Whether looking for simple deep relaxation, or genuine healing and wellness, sound coupled with mindful awareness can bring us to greater states of realization and awakening, healing and transformation, with simple technique and application. As time allows, Zacciah will demonstrate with common instruments such as crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, Native American/shamanic drums, tuning forks, Tibetan bells, and other instruments, as well as voice in toning, chanting, and channeling exercises. Also, time permitting, he will offer a Sacred Sound channeling session, which most often brings the recipient into clear, heightened states of awareness and coherence, for insight, realization, and transformational healing. Watch for his other programs for more, direct experiential practices with Sacred Sound. 3- Igniting our Luminous Being
Zacciah will bring to play all of his wisdom and bearing, to
bring forward direct teachings and revelations as to the
nature of our Luminous Being, and how to ignite one's own
states of self revelation and self realization.
His work comes from, and is intended to be a vehicle for, self illumination and realization, drawing from one's own core essence, and instilling an experiential realization of that Wisdom and Grace, which flows from the All, of we each are a Part. In this time of profound transformation, it is time for each of us to take our place, recognize our Core Essence, and ignite our Highest Potential, in harmony with the Luminous Essence of All Life, for the benefit of All. Zacciah intends to bring at least two principle experiential practices to this workshop. One will not be allowed to enter during either of those practices, so please be seated, and prepared. Bio:

As a certifiable tool junkie, I have more than my share of clippers and other electrically powered tools. This means that sometimes I have a veritable rats nest of cords knotted up and making my work more challenging. (It does cause some colorful language sometimes! Bonus points!)
When I heard about Monkey Cords I was a bit skeptical. I had tried a similar product from the office supply story had been dissapointed. But, (did I mention that I am a tool junkie?) I went ahead and got a Monkey Cord to try. It was a most excellent investment! Although the Monkey Cord takes a bit of time to install, it stays put and does exactly what it claims to... prevents the dreaded cord tangle.
If you suffer from tangled cords (and colorful language) do yourself a favor and try a Monkey Cord. You can learn more here: www.monkeycord.com/shop.htm
(In case you are wondering, I am not affiliated with this company. I just like the stuff they make!)

Finally a kimekomi ornament of my own design! I call this one Japanese Checkers.
Materials Used:
- one 80mm smooth foam ball
- red Japanese floral cotton fabric
- navy Japanese floral cotton fabric
- gold cord
- 3/4 inch gold pins
- two green pearl topped corsage pins
- two gold bead caps
Tools needed:
- ball point pen
- drafting compass
- tape measure
- craft knife
- tucking tool (I use a straight upholstery needle)
- scissors
- Draw lines on foam ball dividing it into 6 equal sections. Watch the tutorial How to divide your foam ball into six equal sections to learn more.
- Next, using your compass set at about 3 cm, draw a circle at the top and bottom of ball, perpendicular to the lines already drawn.
- Draw a line along the mold line in the middle. Your ball should now have 6 columns and 4 rows.
- Cut into the foam ball along the lines drawn.
- Cut fabric into squares and triangles slightly larger than each section. You should have 6 triangles of the red fabric, 6 triangles of navy, 6 squares of red, and 6 squares of navy.
- Tuck the fabric into the lines cut in the foam as shown in the video, alternating the red and navy fabric to create a checked pattern. Cut off excess fabric as needed. You may glue the fabric down if you wish, but make sure the glue doesn't seep through the fabric.
- Once all the fabric is in place, glue the gold cord on the cut lines as shown in the video. Pin at intersecting points to secure the cord more firmly to the ball.
- Add bead cap to the bottom of the ornament with a corsage pin, and then add the hanging cord and bead cap to the top.
This design can be done with any fabric. You can even add a bow on top.
Check out this variation.

What toddler doesn't like corn? That's why I thought these would be a perfect recipe. They are so easy to make and you can get your little one to help with this one. These turned out really well and were a real hit with Freya. They kept well in the fridge and we had them for lunch the next day. I think next time I might add some ham or bacon to them as i'm always looking for an excuse to get Freya to eat more protein. You can also adapt this recipe for adults by adding chilli and some bacon on the side - so versatile!
310g tin corn kernels, drained
150g zucchini, grated
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup milk
1 cup self-raising flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
salt and cracked black pepper
chopped avocado, to serve
parsley leaves, to serve
1.Whisk together the corn, zucchini, eggs and milk. Gradually stir in the sifted flour and cumin, salt and pepper.
2.Heat a little oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Using a tablespoon, place heaped spoonfuls of the mixture in the pan and cook in batches. Using a spatula, turn them once, until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towel, cover and keep warm as you cook remaining fritters.
3.Serve the cakes with avocado, coriander leaves and sweet chilli sauce or tomato sauce

Monsoon LyricsArtist: Robbie WilliamsAlbum: Escapology I've slept with girls on the game I've got my Catholic shame Lord I'm in purgatory Basically it's all come-on talk for me I wasn't me when we met You haven't lost my respect I'm here to serve and protect What shape of insanity Keeps leading you back to me? So put your hands across the water Oh mush through Monsoon Come soon Don't wanna piss on your parade I'm here to make money and get laid Yeah I'm a star but I'll fade If you ain't stickin your knives in me You will be eventually To all you Sharons and Michelles With all your tales to sell Save your meat money well I'm glad that spending a night with me Guaranteed you celebrity. And I can't talk in a crowd When I'm alone I'm too loud You're done, your daddy's proud Thank you for keeping me company You've all been so nice to me So put your hands across the water Oh mush through Monsoon Come soon Oh Lord I feel Nothing I know much smarter men Never got this far I got too many regrets I've smoked too many cigarettes I've had more blondes than brunettes I'm not expecting your sympathy But it's all been too much for me So put your hands across the water Oh mush through Monsoon Come soon

Shin-Soo Choo (Hangul: 추신수; Hanja: 秋信守; born July 13, 1982) is a South Korean professional baseball outfielder for the Texas Rangers of Major League Baseball. He has also played for the Seattle Mariners, Cleveland Indians, and Cincinnati Reds.
Choo was selected as the Most Valuable Player (MVP) and Best Pitcher of the 2000 World Junior Baseball Championship as South Korea won the event. Choo signed a $1.35 million contract with the Mariners after the championship and converted to the outfield.
Choo made his Major League Baseball debut with the Seattle Mariners on April 21, with the Class A affiliate for the Seattle Mariners the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers in 2005, but spent most of the 2005 season and the first half of the 2006 season in the minor leagues with the Mariners' Triple-A affiliate, the Tacoma Rainiers. He batted .068 in a handful of major league at-bats over two years. He was traded to the Cleveland Indians along with minor leaguer Shawn Nottingham on July 26, 2006, for first baseman Ben Broussard.[1]
Two days after being traded, Choo hit a solo home run against his former club in a 1–0 Indians victory. In 45 games with the Indians, he batted .295 (43 for 146) with three home runs and 22 RBIs.
He spent the first few weeks of the 2007 regular season with the Buffalo Bisons, a Triple-A team in the International League affiliated with the Indians, before being called up on April 23, 2007, to take the place of the injured third baseman Andy Marte.[2] He was optioned back to Buffalo on May 3.[3] Choo missed several months of the 2007 season due to injury and in September 2007 underwent Tommy John surgery on his left elbow.[4]
In the 2008 season, Choo was called up on May 31 and spent the rest of the season with the Indians. He finished the season (after 317 at-bats) with a .309 batting average, 98 hits, 14 home runs, and 66 RBIs. His hit and RBI totals were also a new record by a Korean-born player in the MLB. Thanks to a hot September where he put up a .400 batting average, 34 hits, 5 home runs, and 24 RBIs, Choo was named the AL Player of the Month.[5]
In February 2009, he signed a one-year contract with the Indians.[6] During that season, he broke his own records for home runs, RBIs, stolen bases and hits. On July 3, Choo hit two home runs and a career-high seven RBIs in an Indians 15–3 victory over the Oakland Athletics. On October 3, 2009, Choo hit his twentieth homer off of Paul Byrd of the Boston Red Sox, thus joining the 20-20 club. He is the first Asian to accomplish this feat in the Major Leagues.[7] He was also the only player in the AL to have a .300 average, 20 home runs, and 20 stolen bases at the same time. He finished the season with 20 home runs, 21 steals, 86 RBIs, and a .300 batting average.
On February 26, 2010, Choo hired baseball agent Scott Boras.[8] Choo became eligible for arbitration after the 2010 season, and agreed to a $3.975 million deal.[9] Choo hit three home runs in a road game against the Kansas City Royals on September 17, 2010. He first hit a two-run homer 420 ft to right in the top of the fourth inning. In his next at bat he hit a towering grand slam to deep center. In the top of the eighth Choo hit a 405 ft solo homer over the right field wall. Choo finished the game a three-run homer away from the elusive "home run cycle". On September 19, 2010, Choo again reached the 20-20 club of 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases for the second straight year. He also led the AL right fielders in assists with 14.[10]
Choo showed promise in spring training, hitting for a .322 average with three home runs in 19 games. However, Choo's season fell apart quickly. In what was his worst statistical season as an Indian, Choo finished the season with eight home runs, a .259 batting average, 12 stolen bases, and 36 RBIs while accumulating 78 strikeouts and 36 walks in 313 at-bats. On June 24, Choo was hit by San Francisco Giants pitcher Jonathan Sanchez on his left thumb. The resulting fracture kept him out for six weeks.[11] On August 23, during the first game of a double header against his former club, the Seattle Mariners, a game in which during an earthquake he hit a double. In the ninth inning, Choo hit his first walk-off home run. On September 1, Choo pulled a side muscle and was placed on the disabled list again, ending his season.[12]
On April 14 in a game against the Kansas City Royals which would see bench clearings by both teams, Choo was hit by Royals starter Jonathan Sanchez on his right knee. It was a pitch from Sanchez that hit Choo in 2011, resulting in a broken thumb and nearly two months on the disabled list. Choo would finish the game and win it for the Indians in the tenth inning when he hit a two-run double.[13] On April 24, Choo left in the eighth inning in a game versus the Royals after suffering a mild hamstring strain.[14] Choo would return on May 2 in a 6–3 Indians win versus the Chicago White Sox.[15] On May 24 in series finale home game against the Detroit Tigers, Choo hit a second-deck home run off of Tigers starter Justin Verlander in the first inning. That was Choo's first career lead-off home run. The Indians won that game 2-1, finishing the sweep against the Tigers.
On December 11, 2012, Choo was traded to the Cincinnati Reds along with Jason Donald in a three team, nine player deal also involving the Arizona Diamondbacks. The trade brought Trevor Bauer, Matt Albers, Bryan Shaw, and Drew Stubbs to the Cleveland Indians.[16] On February 11, 2013, Choo avoided arbitration with his new team, the Reds, by agreeing to a one-year, $7.375 million deal, the exact midpoint between both sides.[17]
On May 8, 2013, Choo hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 9th inning in a game with the Atlanta Braves. It was his second walk-off home run in Major League Baseball.[18] On August 27 in a game against the St Louis Cardinals, Choo hit his 100th career home run. On September 9, 2013, Choo set the Reds' team record for hit by pitches in a season.[19] On October 2, 2013 Choo homered in the bottom of the 8th inning in the wild-card game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He is the first Korean batter who hit a home run in Major League Baseball postseason.[20]
On December 21, 2013, it was reported that Choo had agreed a seven year, $130 million contract with the Texas Rangers, pending a physical examination.[21] The Rangers officially introduced Choo on December 27.[22]
Choo was on the 2009 World Baseball Classic Korean roster. Cleveland allowed Choo to play under the condition that he play only one game or less as an outfielder in the first round, and only in two non-consecutive games of the second round.[23] Cleveland lifted this restriction from the semifinals on, and Choo started as an outfielder in the semifinal match against Venezuela. He helped Korea win 10-2 against Venezuela with a three-run home run against Carlos Silva in the first inning. He also contributed a solo home run in the fifth inning in the finals against Hisashi Iwakuma of Japan, where Korea lost to Japan 5–3.
Choo and his wife Won-mi Ha have three children, Alan, Aiden, and Abigail.[24][25] Choo is the nephew of Park Jeong-Tae, a former second baseman for the Lotte Giants.[26] Choo is a close friend of Lee Dae-Ho, first baseman for the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, since attending the same elementary school together.[27]
Early on the morning on Monday, May 4, 2011, Choo was arrested and charged with drunk driving in Sheffield Lake, Ohio.[28] Pulled over by police around 2:25am because of his vehicle weaving, Choo's blood alcohol content (via Breathalyzer test) was reportedly 0.20%, more than twice the legal limit in the state.[29]

Sauber have become the latest team to uncover their 2014 car, after the Ferrari-powered C33 was revealed in a digital launch on Sunday.
With a revised driver line-up of Adrian Sutil and Esteban Gutierrez, the Swiss team hope the new machine will help them build on their strong form at the end of last season, when they finished seventh in the constructors championship.
The C33 has been designed in accordance with the heavily revised 2014 regulations, arguably the biggest rule changes in Formula One history. They include a move to smaller, 1.6 litre turbo engines, more reliance on energy recovery systems (ERS), and updated aerodynamics.
Together, these changes present the engineers with a huge challenge, especially with time pressure also a major factor, commented Saubers chief designer Eric Gandelin. The path we have followed with the design of the Sauber C33-Ferrari allows us maximum flexibility, so that we can react quickly. It is also clear that reliability will be an important factor in the first few races in particular. So this is an area which we have given very high priority.
Perhaps the most visually striking element of the C33 is the very low, snout-like nose. The narrower front wing features mounting pylons on the nose that have been moved out as far as possible under the regulations to channel as much air as possible under the car.
The radical changes to the technical regulations for 2014 mean that its even harder than usual to make predictions for the new season, added Gandelin. We know what kind of package weve put together here, but it is difficult to foresee what shape our rivals are in. The earliest opportunity to gain an impression of where the teams are in relation to one another will come during testing.
That testing begins at Jerez in Spain on Tuesday. Sauber will use a roll-out version of the C33. This will be fully functional, but without a number of performance parts which will be introduced for the remaining two pre-season tests in Bahrain.
On the one hand this gives us time to maximise the development of these performance relevant parts, and on the other hand we can run the car during the first test and check all the systems, which we feel is crucial, considering all the technical changes., explained Gandelin.

Robert Moog unleashed a new universe of sounds into musicdom with his invention of the electronic analog Moog Synthesizer. The timbre and tones of these keyboard instruments (true works of art in and of themselves) would come to define a generation of music, featuring heavily in songs by The Beatles, The Doors, Stevie Wonder, Kraftwerk and many others. When people hear the word "synthesizer" they often think "synthetic"—fake, manufactured, unnatural.

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month
Pros:Its pretty cool to use and show all of your friends.
its small and concealable.
it looks like a lighter from the outside
its got a nice picture of a gigantic marijuana leaf
the casing has a nice grippy feel on the front. opens and closes nicely. easy to get the inside part out if you need to. rubber seal on the inside to keep it airtight.
its got a nice picture of a gigantic MARIJUANA LEAF. that might cause discernment to the cops if they looked at it.
it doesnt hit very well. tiny bowlpacks and tiny hits
you have to screw the mouthpeice in and out to use it. which stripped after about 8 months so thats not that bad, plumbers tape fixed that right up
i replaced the shell of mine with another zippo lighter by drilling a hole in the bottom, didnt have different issues, just the cons mentioned above. looks better without the big pot leaf.
its nice and it hits (kinda) cheaper than where you can find it at other places. might have to add a screen in there to help it hit (even then :/ )

IBM InfoSphere Streams and the Uppsala University Space Weather Project
The Uppsala Space Weather Project is a prime example of how Linux is used as the underlying engine that makes the world go. In fact, Linux has become so mainstream in such projects, we specifically had to ask about what infrastructure the project used. Even then, the answer wasn't "Linux", but rather what version of Linux. Apparently, it was supposed to be obvious that the project would run in a Linux environment—that's the kind of presumptive attitude I like to see in the world!
Whether the information collected and analyzed by Uppsala will make a difference in how we weather Solar Cycle 24 remains to be seen. At the very least, we'll have more data about space weather than ever before in history. As to our little planet/dwarf planet/plutoid Pluto, sadly we'll have to wait until July 14, 2015 for more detailed information. The New Horizons satellite is racing there now to get more information on the little frozen body. It's hard to say how Pluto will be classified by the time it gets there, but nonetheless, we will be anxiously awaiting the data. When it finally arrives, it's pretty likely the data will be analyzed by Linux.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Are debt consolidation loans a smart financial move?
By Marianne Curphey
Published: 8 March 2013
Tweet | Email story |
If you're juggling multiple credit card and other loan debts, rolling them all together into a debt consolidation loan with a fixed interest rate and single payment may ease your stress.
However, debt charities say, without proper planning, debt consolidation can be dangerous.
What are debt consolidation
by banks, debt consolidation loans allow you to bundle together various debts
(such as credit card debts and overdraft debts) into a single loan with a
single payment. Sometimes, the interest rate on the consolidation loan will be lower
than the combined interest rate of all the separate debts.
Unlike unsecured debts (such as credit cards, overdrafts and personal loans), debt consolidation loans are often secured against an asset, such as a house, according to the Money Advice Service. This could mean that your home would be at risk if you don't keep up repayments.
For this reason, debt consolidation loans are not usually available to tenants or people who do not own their own property, although some loan providers do offer unsecured loans for lower sums.
Debt consolidation
While getting a consolidation loan can reduce your
interest payments, this is not always the case. If you are already struggling
financially or have gone into arrears with your debts, it could be difficult to
find a competitive interest rate from a provider.
"If you have a poor credit rating, you may not be able to take out a consolidation loan, or you may be offered one on worse terms and conditions, for example at a higher interest rate," says Paul Crayston, spokesman for the Money Advice Trust.
Crayston also warns that the interest rate may change over the loan period, making it impossible to work out what the total cost of the loan will be. So check to see if the loan rate is "fixed" or "variable," Crayston suggests. Also make note of the repayment period. A lower interest rate, but a longer repayment period, could mean that you end up paying more over the life of the loan.
Another risk may stem from your own behaviour. Used correctly, consolidation loans can help you eliminate your debt. However, that's unlikely to work if you don't cut down on your spending. The temptation with a consolidation loan is that you start to use credit cards again when you should be concentrating on clearing the loan itself.
If you end up taking on a debt consolidation loan without first resolving the problems that necessitated it, "it will just add to your debt burden," says Una Farrell, spokesperson for StepChange Debt Charity.
"These types of loans are particularly unsuitable for people who are unable to repay what they owe and who probably need to opt for one of the insolvency solutions," Farrell says.
Before trying to merge your debts, look at your finances as a whole with the help of a debt counsellor, Farrell recommends.
"You should always seek free debt advice if you are struggling with your debts, or even if you are just worried about managing your debts," Farrell says. "There are a range of debt solutions which debt charities such as StepChange Debt Charity, National Debtline and your local Citizens Advice Bureau will advise you on."
When debt consolidation loans
might make sense
says it's "always vital to seek advice" before getting a debt consolidation
loan, as there are often better solutions available.
Still, consolidating debts might be an option if you are looking to make your monthly instalments toward debts more affordable without impacting your credit rating (consolidation loans won't hurt your credit unless you fall behind on payments), and without having to negotiate repayment plans with all your individual creditors.
"You will be making one monthly payment on one loan, rather than many payments to different creditors," Crayston says. "Your new monthly payment should be lower, but you must check that you can afford the new payments."
Debt consolidation alternatives
There are a number of alternatives to consolidation loans, such as a debt management plan drawn up for you by a debt counsellor, or an informal negotiation with creditors that allows you to pay back your debt over a longer period of time.Other possibilities are:
- An Individual Voluntary Agreement (IVA), which is a legally binding agreement between you and your creditors. It freezes your debts and allows you to pay them back over a set period, usually five years.
- A debt relief order, which freezes your debts for a year and allows you to repay them in instalments over six months
- Bankruptcy, whereby your assets are used to pay off as much of your debt as possible, and the rest is written off.

Y100's Jingle Ball 2013 Brought Miley Cyrus, Robin Thicke, Armin Van Buuren to BB&T Center

Y100's Jingle Ball 2013 with Miley Cyrus, Robin Thicke, Austin Mahone, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, Armin Van Buuren, Enrique Iglesias, Fall Out Boy, Flo Rida, Avril Lavigne, Jason Derulo and Fifth Harmony
BB&T Center, Sunrise
Saturday, December 20, 2012
With our job, we get to go to a lot of things. Do we always want to? No, but hey, we'll go to any free show for the booze, at the very least.
Last year, we attended the much anticipated Jingle Ball 2012 concert, with the likes of Megan & Liz, Justin Bieber and Austin Mahone. We were waiting for Chris Hanson and his Catch A Predator cameras to show us the transcripts. Don't even get us started on the pressroom where we were held before the show began. Ever been to prison? Us either, but we imagine it was much like that.
See also: Y100 Jingle Ball 2013 at BB&T Center Slideshow
Y100 must have gotten wind of our disappoint because this year, the lineup was quite impressive. Miley Cyrus, Robin Thicke, Enrique Iglesias, oh my! Sure, Austin Mahone, Ariana Grande and Fifth Harmony were also set to hit the stage and yes, they do make us feel like AARP recipients. But hey, no one will argue that they are talented, so were excited to see them. (Sorry we are not sorry for that statement.)
Sayre Berman
To kick off the evening, Demi Lovato and her bright green hair took the stage. We realized then that we are, in fact, D. Lovato fans. Did we know every word to every song? Yep and so did everyone else in attendance. When the opening act doesn't suck, but is actually enormously talented, you can sit back and expect a pretty good show all around.
When heading to a concert, you don't really expect a high school reunion. Every musical act we loved pre-penetration and getting our driver license was all under one roof Friday night. It began with Avril Lavigne, who gave us the pleasure of reminding us that "Skater Boy" is in existence. Who did she bring along? Her husband, Chad Kroeger, aka the lead singer of Nickelback. Forgot they were an actual band? Us too. Toward the end of the evening, Fall Out Boy in all of their hipster glory came out to kill it for the crowd. Sure, they have had constant success over the last 10 years, but hearing their early 2000 hits brought us right back to our sports bra rocking days. If Sisqo would have come out and serenaded us with "Thong Song," we could have retired right then and there.
Sayre Berman
After Avril, it was time for South Florida's own Jason Derulo. If you have never seen that man in concert, we suggest you do that. He is insane dancer, brings along back up dancers that are equally as talented, and usually takes his shirt off. That is something we will never complain about. Backstage, we caught up with his longtime girlfriend, Jordan Sparks who was snapping pics in a fangirl-like fashion. It was precious. It's only moments till he actually sings her his song "Marry Me." We are calling it now.
Sayre Berman
There were a couple of shocking things throughout the evening. One being the amount of alcohol being served to the child-caring adults. How else were they supposed to get through? Then, it was how much we fell back in love with Flo Rida and Robin Thicke. Let's be honest: We can all equally agree that hearing their songs overplayed is a little like Chinese torture at this point. But in a twist, their music is actually very enjoyable when played live. Flo Rida gave a shout out to the late Paul Walker, that was precious. Earlier, Robin Thicke shocked us his piano-playing skills and gave a speech about the joys of being a father. Nice work, guys. Nice work.

EUGENE, Ore. — The 4J School District could be looking at even more cuts. The superintendent made the announcement Thursday.
4J administrators say they're being forced to consider more cuts to services and jobs. While nothing is set in stone yet, parents and staff had plenty of opinions.
"It's really difficult for the kids to get the services they need already, so it kind of bothers me," said parent Sarah Ritchie.
Ritchie is a mother with two kids, both in the 4J system at Bertha Holt Elementary.
"What more can they cut out? They're running skin and bones as it is," Ritchie said.
And while it may not seem like it at times, 4J administrators feel exactly the same way.
"You know I've been saying we're cut down to the bone, but we're down to the marrow. We're down to some serious issues in terms of our finances," said Sheldon Berman, 4J Superintendent.
The announcement of further cuts in services and jobs was not made easily.
"In drafting the letter to the staff about what was about to happen, there's the understanding that this is painful. Nobody wants this to happen. It's not in the best interest of the community. It's not in the best interest of the children," Berman said.
Staff at the district's school were understanding, but naturally concerned. Howard Elementary music teacher Ruth Root says she's seen several extensive cuts in her department over the past few years.
"I really fear for this district. When I came to this district in 1979 with children enrolled in 4J, I was thrilled with the opportunities they had for arts, and now it's just devastating," Root said.
While options have been discussed, nothing has been decided yet. Everyone has their fingers crossed this won't be the final resolution to their financial woes.
"I just hope they're able to figure something out without jeopardizing the children's education," Ritchie said.
The district has already decided to move forward with a bond measure which will help, but won't cover the whole distance. The superintendent says they will still need to find more sources of additional revenue.

Minimum wage pay will soon jump from $5.15 an hour to $5.85. This may sound like just a few pennies, but it will actually have a major impact on the city of Dothan's budget.
Right now, the city's Leisure Services Department is most affected with nearly 200 part-time and seasonal workers. And, increasing their minimum wage pay will end up costing the city hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional wages.
So far, the minimum wage increase has already been approved for 29 of the Leisure Services Department's part time positions.
It's a move that will end up costing more than $95,000 dollars.
Dothan Leisure Services Director, Ann Rumble says, "It will be a little bit of a strain on our budget. But the city commission's always been mighty good to us and we'll have to find the money and go from there."
However, that's not all. The next item to address will be raising the wages of the 159 seasonal workers as well, which is expected to be approved by the city commission next Tuesday.
But minimum wage workers won't be the only ones affected by this. Other workers in the city will also get a pay increase in order to keep the same wage increments in the city.
Right now, the city has not allotted the money needed in it's current budget and will have to find additional funding until the new fiscal year begins in October.
Rumble also says, "We're coming to the end of our seasonal year, anyway. So it won't hurt us too very bad this year. And it will affect us mostly for next year."
The increase altogether will cost the city an additional $189,000 dollars in next year's budget.
And, because minimum wage increases over a course of three years, this will be an issue the city will have to face the next few summers.
The city is hoping to have all pay increases approved by the time the federal minimum wage goes into effect on July 24th.

Riunite Peach Chardonnay
- Italy
In the past couple of decades, the sales of wines made with Chardonnay grapes has risen and fallen more than once. For many people, this green skinned grape was marred by a poor reputation for bland and uninteresting wines, a great shame considering the fact that Chardonnay grapes have proven time and time again to be interesting, versatile and full of surprises. Most commonly, fine Chardonnay wines are buttery, smooth and creamy as a result of malolactic fermentation, yet with hints of tropical fruits and orchard fruits such as apples and pears. What is most remarkable about Chardonnay grapes, however, is the fact that unlike many other 'white' grapes, they are exceptionally good at holding the characteristics of their terroir in the bottle. As such, despite their fluctuating reputation, this is one grape varietal which produces constantly surprising, impressive and varied wines.
There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' the land of wines so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

The Eye of the Tiger (Lily)
by jessicamcleod on August 15, 2013
It's full on summer, and I can't help but notice all the beauty in my surroundings. Living in the Cowichan Valley, I get to enjoy mountains and the ocean, loads of greenery, and right now – beautiful flowers. However, we've been having some grey weather here on the left coast lately. I say, if the sun won't shine, then you definitely should. Please note, this takes no longer than putting on regular clothes.
My favourite trick this summer for maximum impact in the least amount of moves involves a) Sequins (even during the day) and b) Lipstick. Especially during the day. The thing about lipstick is that it adds instant polish and can stand on its own as an entire look. It also means you only have one product to carry around for reapplication (and MAC's matte finish lipsticks last for hours on end). It's a low maintenance approach to a high maintenance look and comes free of face-melt worry if the mercury is rising. Here, a simple swipe of So Chaud is all it takes to make a statement makeup look. I love the bold colour, which reminds me of the beautiful tiger lilies in bloom right now. Mimicking the exotic flora, I paired the orange lips with a sequin blazer to add a different kind of shine. It doesn't look like a blazer because I put it on backwards and belted it to add the back factor (who . This keeps the look exciting coming or going.
