I love this mascara.
I'm generally a snob about mascara, but I'm a graduate student so my budget is back to being tiny at the best of times. I ordered some Avon on a whim, and this was on sale for $2.99. I have since ordered two more, and keep one at my boyfriend's place. (Usually the crappy fall-back make-up goes there, but this is cheap enough to keep more than one around!)
The formula is thin, which everyone seems annoyed with. It's not a quick mascara to apply, but I LOVE that you can build up the coats gradually. It also manages to curl my outer lashes.
I have short lashes and this stuff makes me look more feminine.

I remember this when I used to sell Avon, and I remember liking it.
But they have changed the wand and I find their "improvement" not one.
The formula is thin and I find myself using an unusual amount of coats to get lush lashes.
I like that it washes off with cleanser and is waterproof.
I just don't like the brush.

This is the mascara I always come back to use. Sure, I go out and buy more expensive brands but this is my old friend and workhorse. You can get this for a steal when Avon runs promotions. It washes off with your regular cleanser and it doesn't take many coats at all for a great look.

This has quickly become my favorite mascara. I'm very picky about my mascara and I usually end up tossing them or returning them. Not this one! It has everything I was looking for. It applies very easily without applying coat after coat. I have sparse, blonde (almost translucent) lashes and I can apply ONE coat of this and it looks nice and dark. No clumps, no smudges throughout the day and no flaking (my biggest mascara pet peeve). Oh, and this doesn't irritate my eyes at all, which is rare with me. Definitely HG status.

this is the very first mascara I ever used when I started using eye make up at age 20-21...anyhow it looks very natural and does barely show up on your lashes, I got a tube in brown black recently and tried it today, I can barely tell I have mascara on, which is nice since that's what I was going for...I got the tube for free because I took it from my aunt who does Avon, so price was great :)
And I always love using various things, change is good!

I bought this based on the MUA reviews. I have this in black. It goes on smoothly, but it also goes on thin. That kind of consistency reminded me of my bad experience with MAC's Splashproof Lash. With that one it was nearly impossible to build the layers I needed for my wimpy skimpy lashes. With this Avon one I can, though it takes a little work and finesse. Otherwise it stays put for hours and washes out with soap and water. Amazing value, too! I rarely find products I really like with Avon - this one is a winner.

This is a pretty good mascara, especially for people who don't like a "made up" look. Like others said, it gives a very natural look. It's very light coverage; no volume or length just color. I tried both brown & black. I'm blond with very light lashes and the brown hardly shows up at all, so I'd stick with the black. It does wash off, but it leaves some raccoon eye residue. I prefer the ease of Blinc mascara, but this is cheap and easier to apply :-)
Edit: I took off a lippie and decided I wouldn't buy this again due to the fact that it doesn't wash off very well. It leaves alot behind after my shower and it's all smudged under my eyes.

I got this on sale for $1.99! What a great mascara. I needed a waterproof mascara that washed off easily for my lower lashes. It does not give me any volume or length. It provides a very natural look. .

I have a problem with my mascara smudging midday and giving me raccoon eyes. By the end of the day I look like I haven't slept in days! Most mascaras do end up smuding under my eyes, even waterproof. I don't even care to have a waterproof mascara, all I want is oil-proof but that's hard to find. I have oily skin so I need something that can hold up. The few I've found that don't smudge are like concrete to get off and leave my lashes brittle and breaking.
I love that I finally discovered this. Even long after work this mascara still doesn't give me raccoon eyes, not one bit! I'll admit it doesn't hold a curl as well as some other waterproof and I have to curl it a little after I apply it. Also the formula is very natural so it's good for everyday. Formula is very buildable, you can reapply coats and it will not clump. This also comes off easily with a little soap and water, no need for makeup remover. I like that it washes off clean, that makes me feel like I'm not pulling out my lashes each time I remove it.
For $6.50 I will definitely repurchase!
UPDATE: I always go back to this because it's oil-proof but easily washable with soap and water, I just wish it held my curl better and gave me more volume. Like I said, it's a great basic mascara that doesn't smudge(I've slept in this and not a smudge in sight!) but I just wish it was more noticeable. I'm thinking of getting a primer to use underneath so I can have the volume I want without having to deal with smudges again.

- Description
by BIOQUEST
Potent Mass Building Formula for All-Day Use
- Low Carb Version of MyoZene
- Ultra Hydrolyzed Whey for Rapid Uptake
- Large Dose of Anabolic Leucine
- Powerful Muscle Builder
MyoZene Ultra Pro contains the same ultra-hydrolyzed protein and other key ingredients as the original post-workout MyoZene, but without the carbs. The result is a more versatile anytime formula that still has many of the highly effective, anabolic properties of MyoZene.
This massively potent variation on BioQuest's breakthrough post-workout whey hydrolysate formula is perfect for athletes who want to experience MyoZene's lean-mass-building power not just post workout but anytime throughout the day.
Like MyoZene, Ultra Pro's core strength originates from its rare and highly specialized whey hydrolysate technology, which is a direct result of an extensive hydrolysis, yielding extremely low di- and tri-peptides that are absorbed directly into the bloodstream, and therefore, are more directly utilized for muscle synthesis. It's well established that the ingestion of premium hydrolyzed whey protein immediately after exercise results in the highest levels of blood amino acids, which are associated with augmented nitrogen utilization, protein synthesis and a greatly elevated anabolic state. Based on its peerless anabolic success, other brands have recently introduced semblances of hydrolyzed whey into their formulas, but their lesser quality, quantity and degree of hydrolysis are no comparison to the highly specialized form found in MyoZene and MyoZene Ultra Pro.
MyoZene Ultra Pro also contains an added dose of leucine for mTOR stimulation (which promotes the initiation of protein synthesis), added taurine for its cell-volumizing effect, and only 3 to 6 carbs depending on the flavor. In effect MyoZene Ultra Pro represents the best of both worlds—the targeted rapid-action anabolism of original MyoZene and the versatility of any-time-of-day supplementation.

The chocolate tastes really good I've tasted really bad proteins before and UltraPro actually seems to be among the best tasting to me. Don't know what the other poster is talking about.
(Posted on 2/24/2015)
Flavor (vanilla) is a bit sour... I have to mix it with my cheap strawberry protein to manage the taste, and i can drink puke...Mixes well, seems to be doing what it's supposed to...
(Posted on 8/7/2014)
Vanilla flavor is a little funky the first time you try it, but you get used to it and actually look forward to having it. Mixes nice and thick, and keeps me full for a couple hours.
(Posted on 10/27/2013)
solution to any horrible tasting supplement mix...ice! so cold, by the time your taste buds recover, slight flavor - before i switched to ultra myozene, i literally craved the original, (lemonade), chilled - like the contrast the two myozene versions display in my appearance

Tastes great!! Taking instead of Vectron
because Vectron makes my body over heat
at night and can't sleep !!
(Posted on 7/19/2013)
Great product! I mix it with Vectron in my morning and afternoon shakes. Excellent low fat & low calorie supp. on my days off. Will buy again.

Gives good results. Feels like the protein is quickly absorbed, muscles feel satisfied and fed. The taste will shock you a bit, worst chocolate flavor I tasted. If taken often, makes me wanna use the restroom for number 2 business.

Great Product. Only issue was (Chocalate) taste. I had to use 10 or more oz of water per scoop to get a chocolate shake taste, anything less tasted bad. Mixed great I was able to mix it in a regular water bottle.
(Posted on 6/6/2012)
I like the taste, but really wish it came in Orange like the regular Myozene. I got it for my off days when I dont't need a big sugar spike, also its good for cutting periods.

Great vanilla taste and 20g protein per scoop. I had been looking for a hydrolyzed protein without maltodextrin and finally found what I was looking for. Mixes very well also.
(Posted on 2/28/2012)
I have tried a lot of protein powders this is one of the best out there. Great taste.(vanilla) Excellent for when you are dieting for a show. Can't go wrong with BioQuest, one of the top supplement companies.

Great taste, great results. Love it.
(Posted on 5/12/2011)
This stuff is awesome. I've seen great gains while using this plus the chocolate flavor is awesome The vanilla tastes like any other vanilla protein powder tho. I also usually have an allergic reaction to chocolate flavored products, but no issue with this. That's an extra bonus in my book.
(Posted on 2/11/2011)
this product is great from a ingredience stand point but the flavor is really really bad, its the worst tasting protein ive ever had tolerable when mixed with oj, berries, and oats in a blender, good luck

Why utilities should be emphasizing resiliency (and technologies that can help)
Quick Take: I wanted to highlight a recent workshop on resiliency because pressure is mounting for utilities to improve their performance. Threats to grid infrastructure are climbing: cyber attacks, physical attacks, natural disasters, obsolescence, neglect, and the retirement of in-house experts to name a few.
The public is not confident about the ability of utilities to meet these challenges. Citing the importance of "reputational capital," ICF International Director Robert Kwartin maintains that "public perception of utilities is low" when it comes to resiliency. In other words, utilities need to up their game -- both what they do and how they talk about it to ratepayers and regulators. Here are a few highlights from a recent workshop, or visit the article from Phys.org for further details. - Jesse Berst
The Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Lab is sponsoring workshops about the resiliency of the grid. The latest gathering produced definitions and guidelines that will be helpful to utilities seeking to respond to the growing cry for resiliency.
Just what is resiliency?
Reliability is typically defined as the ability of a system to perform its required functions without problems. Resiliency, on the other hand, refers to what happens when that system encounters a problem. Charlie Scirbona, Smart Grid department manager for Orange and Rockland Utilities, defines resiliency as the adaptive capacity of the system or the ability to bounce back.
One aspect of resiliency is identifying critical loads so you can keep them up and running during outages, said Larisa Dobriansky of General MicroGrids, who was formerly DOE Deputy Assistant Secretary for National Energy Policy. She said the definition of "critical customers" had changed since 9/11. Utilities need a consistent method to prioritize those services on which the rest of the utilities' customers depend.
Technology to the rescue
The workshop highlighted technology advancements that help with resiliency. The DOE is leaning on microgrids - interconnected loads and distributed energy resources acting as a single controllable entity. Dobriansky reports that the DOE considers microgrids integral to grid modernization. In fact, the DOE plans a microgrid Grand Challenge Competition in the near future.
Alan Berscheid from Los Alamos National Laboratory pointed to the lab's National Infrastructure Simulation, and Analysis Center (NISAC), which is used by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to predict damage. The system conducts an analysis on various critical infrastructure processes and predicts the damage and losses when "pieces of the system" fail.
Jesse Berst is the founder and Chief Analyst of SGN and Chairman of the Smart Cities Council, an industry coalition.

Talk about good timing. Today the academic archaeologists and scientists of Leicester University drove sky high the attraction of this particular science by revealing that the skeleton they unearthed last September [2012] in a council car park in the city was indeed Richard III.
On the same day, Dave Thompson, SNP MSP for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch met the Scottish Coastal Heritage at Risk Project (SCHARP) to learn about how citizen archaeologists can help to preserve archaeological sites.
The very notion of 'citizen archaeologist' carries mysterious reverberations of revolution – and indeed this scheme is quite revolutionary in its own terms.
Dave Thompson says: 'Scotland has one of the longest coastlines in Europe and there are a wealth of rich archaeological sites such as the discovery of a Viking boat burial site at Ardnamurchan; or the many Brochs found throughout the Highlands and Islands, including Dun Telve and Dun Troddan in Glenelg.'
SCHARP estimate that there are no fewer than 12,000 sites of archaeological significance in just 40% of Scotland Coast.
However, a serious concern is that the coast is so dynamic, it is impossible to keep up to date with what is being revealed or destroyed.
For this reason SCHARP are asking for volunteers to survey, record and submit reports on their local coastline – to become 'citizen archaeologists'.
Dave Thompson, understanbaly fired up by the notion and the need, says: 'I would encourage anyone interested in getting involved as a citizen archaeological to get in touch with SCHARP [online here] to find out how to do so. They have produced a smartphone app and an interactive map to assist volunteers.
'Our coastline holds many secrets and their discovery and preservation can inform us about the history of our land, as well as being an inspiration to our children.'

It is interesting, because what it sounds like to me is that some of you haven't figured out the ability and skill system, or you are working in areas that are too high for your current setup.
One thing that is not obvious in this game is that immediately trying to start a Deck path when you start a new character will often leave you too weak in the beginning. What you have to do is go DPS as you are leveling up, and then start putting points into the Deck you want. You have to think of it in stages. Early build is first, where you are just trying to start establishing your character, and then your deck/elite builds which take much more time. DPS seems to be best for early builds, so put points there in the beginning to build up some combat ability. You can get as much AP as you are willing to work for, and later on it comes much, much faster, so don't worry about your Deck.
I went for a Martial Artist deck in Dragon, which is a Tank. However, it really doesn't become a Tank until towards the end of getting all the abilities. Even as far as 2/3 of the way to completing the deck, it still wasn't an effective Tank. Once I was done and had the deck and the ability to tweak it, it made a killer tank.
I've heard the same problems from people who try to go pure healer from the get-go, and you just can't do it solo. You have to put points into DPS along the way so you are an effective character as you build up your Ability wheel.
Try to remember that you are going to end up with at least two builds in this game, and for most people, one of them is going to be DPS so you can "level" up. The Decks are a little confusing, because it seems like they are giving you a path through the game, but for many of those decks, especially non-DPS decks, that just isn't true.
Something else that is really cool about this game, is getting to know your available Abilities and Gear. I was running an elite dungeon last night, and we just couldn't get past this one boss. Someone suggested that the tanks and healers switch out one piece of our respective tank and healer gear with a piece from our DPS gear so we could bump our group average DPS up a little. We did this without changing anything else, and were immediately able to beat the boss after several previous failures.
This game is about being dynamic, and even when you are questing you may have to tweak your abilities and gear to better fit the mobs you are dealing with. I think it's very fun, but it certainly doesn't hold your hand, especially in the beginning.
A sure sign that you are in an old, dying paradigm/mindset, is when you are scared of new ideas and new technology. Don't feel bad. The world is moving on without you, and you are welcome to yell "Get Off My Lawn!" all you want while it happens. You cannot, however, stop an idea whose time has come.

By the way, this doesn't apply to everyone. Some decks are good at combat from early on up until the end, especially the DPS builds. However, it's very easy to go in another direction with the Ability wheel and leave yourself weak. If you do, go back to Kingsmouth and redo some quests. You can quickly pick up another 50AP doing that, and then add more abilities that will help you.
It should also be noted the Decks are not the best builds in the game. Far from it. You get your cool outfit reward for completing them, but if you know your Ability wheel, you can also make vital tweaks to them to make them even better. Nothing is set in stone on that Ability wheel.

Big problem with new players is they keep using just ONE weapon .
You HAVE to use 2 weapons at once. By having 2 different weapon skills your increasing your damage dramatically because of The secret worlds resource system allowing you to Burst the enemies twice in quick sucessions .
Also it would be very helpfull to have a healing skill on your arsenal to reduce downtime

This gamre reminds me a lot of early EvE, it was pretty much.. here is your ship and over there is the universe. Now go and die like a happy little monkey. I respect FC for having the brasstackle to launch a game like this in this day and age, not the wisest of moves perhaps but they are sure to have a solid core fans that are devoted on the level of a extremist sect.
Again, not what i would have done but it is their money to invest how they see fit and sinc ei am not a shareholder or investor i could not care less.

I agree with both of you, and in many areas, you have to have some aoe dps on tap for groups of mobs. If you are standing their chipping away at one mob at a time in a group of five of them, you are doing it wrong. I think people are taking a "set it and forget it" approach and are failing when they hit certain areas with different kinds of mobs and groups of mobs. You have to actually notice what is going wrong, and tweak your setup when you hit something you are having trouble with.

BUT you are wasting the dps that you could get from using a consumer skill from a second weapon. Because most builders provide resources for both weapons, that 2nd weapon consumer is essentially "free" dps.

One of the things I like about combat in this game is how effortlessly you can mix up two weapons. You don't have to swap weapons. I started with ar/shotty and think this is a good starter set. The ar is great for kiting leeching and dps while the shotty is great for hinders and mobs with it's cone attacks.

For solo questing....
1. Build for AOE damage
2. A "survival" build > DPS build... you don't need to tweak your build for different types of mobs as often.
3. Build for AOE damage
4. Have 4 active DPS skills and use the other 3 for self-heals...preferably self-heals with a damage (to them) component, This is why the rifle is so popular in survival builds.
5. Whatever you're building, spend 37 points in the top green miscellaneous abilities asap to get Sleight of Hand. It's an independent 640 HP heal on a 35 second cooldown (potions have a 90 second CD) Use that as one of your 3 self-heals.
6. Your Green Talisman breakdown should be about 50:50 or 60:40 DPS/Heal. Blue talismans are a different story since they're concentrated: you'll need to add 1 or 2 "tank" (i.e. + HP) talismans to the mix when using blues (or purples.)
7. The HP you need in a zone depends on 2 factors: how hard the mobs hit you (duh!) AND how fast you self heal. I see people running around the 2nd Transylvania zone with 6 or 7K HP... I have 3700 and it works just fine due to my constant self-heal & mitigation.
8. Build for AOE damage.
9. Some "solo quests" really are group quests in disguise. The "protect the sasquatch from the miners" one in blue mountain is the first one of those you'll run into. But...
10. In any "protect the ____" missions, let them take the aggro if you can. These ain't the typical "die if looked-at-funny" wimp NPCs from other MMOs.
11. Use passives that enhance the DPS or Heal of your actives, give you self heals or bubbles depending on conditions, mess-up the enemy. Like...
12. If you're melee DPS, you want to afflict, weaken, penetrate and crit. If you want to kite (risky business here due to densities) look also for hindering abilities in addition to the ones above. Think of penetrate as "the other critical" max damage is achieved with pen + crit.
13. Build for AOE damage.
All I can think of.

I have been having a lot of Fun doing horizontal weapon skills and trying to figure out what works, what doenst and most importantly what I enjoy.
I am enjoying the hell out of the questing and story, so I have been in no rush to clear it all, and only up to QL6 content.
But I have repeated many of the first 3 area quests , treatign them like dailies I suppose, so that I can go back and work wiht different weapons and builds.
Then I take what I like and move to a harder area with it.
(I too will drop gear when doing older content to make it more fun)
I guess I am hooked, The two games I currently have active subs are EVE and this.
I do think the deck builds were missed opportunities. Decks should have been restricted to the inner ring, to give new players a start on how to layout skills. As it is, by the time you complete a deck you are past any point of a learning curve and more able to build your own stuff...

There was an old thread in the TSW beta boards that was an "inner wheel challenge." Reading that was a much better transition into TSW for me than following any deck. In this fashion they are little more than a completion goal for an outfit reward.

My freedom relies on yours
Lots of good information here, it so horribly easy to gimp yourself early on, leading to a lot of frustration. Someone mentioned using passives from different weapons, highly recommend people look across all weapons to see what they can use to supplement their build, majority of passives don't require their weapon equipped, running as Blood/AR doesnt stop you from equipping a Pistol passive.
Also agree about the decks, they should have been first wheel based, some of that solo content can be really unforgiving quite early in the game, if you've specced early in to healing you're going to struggle. I'm just now working towards a deck build, at QL7/8, AP's are coming thick and fast in Egypt, it's almost like you're better off ignoring decks until later.

If you are too dumb to do a web search for some professional decks/builds/info it serves you right if you pick up the in game decks.
The rest of us are laughing at you.

I did not find the game to be to hard, in fact it was much easier than the old days of daoc when soloing could make you lose more xp than you gained for the day when you died. with a decent build soloing was fine and if you where teamed up with a buddy you could zip though a zones missions really fast.
My issue with the game is that I found combat to be boring overall , the zones too small, and fighting too many of the same type of mobs over and over . repeating quests was ok once or twice but after that yuck!
I had a lot of fun in Kingsmouth, some in savage coast but after that not so much.

President Kibaki today opened the newly built ultra-modern Syokimau train station in Athi River. The station is set to decongest traffic along the busy Mombasa Highway as it provides an alternative means of transport for commuters to and from the Nairobi CBD.
President Kibaki lauded the recent development in transport infrastructure and urged Kenyans to embrace it rather than focus on the forthcoming elections.
He said that the initial upgrade of the railways network will start in the capital but will spread to other regions of the country as well.
The president was among the first passengers of the new train service as he boarded it to take the 30 minute ride to the city and meet up with his motorcade which left Syokimau without him.
The Syokimau terminal will serve about 2000 commuters a day as it will only run in the mornings and in the evenings. The number is likely to increase though once the services are expanded to other times of the day.
Other stations being upgraded are the Makadara train station, the Imara Daima train station and the Railways train station in the city centre all of which will form part of the core system upon completion.
Along with the improved train services, there will also be additional services offered. There will be Park and Ride and Drop and Ride systems which will further streamline the Nairobi commuter rail services.
Under Park and Ride, vehicle owners will be able to drive their cars to the various railway stations in the city and from there catch the train to the city center.
Syokimau has a capacity of 2500, while the Imara Daima and Makadara stations will have car capacities of 150 and 500 respectively.
Passengers using public transport will also be able to use the train and will be dropped off to designated spots from where they will be able to access the trains under the Drop and Ride system.
Other transport infrastructure earmarked for upgrade are the Mombasa-Malaba highway with a turn-off to Kisumu along with other existing road and railway networks.

Daniel was born in Dayton, Texas, and he graduated from Baylor University. He worked as a lawyer in Liberty County, Texas. Daniel won a seat in the Texas House of Representatives in 1939 as a Democrat. Daniel opposed Texas adopting a sales tax and he was elected Speaker of the House in 1943. After a term as Speaker, Daniel enlisted in the United States Army as a Private. He was discharged in 1946 with the rank of captain.
He returned to Texas and won the seat of Attorney General. Daniel defended the University of Texas law school in the Sweatt v. Painter case. Daniel was also involved in the Tidelands controversy, and he endorsed Dwight D. Eisenhower in the 1952 presidential election. Daniel was elected to the United States Senate in 1952 and one of his first acts in the Senate was to draft a tidelands bill which was signed by President Eisenhower. Opposed to desegregation efforts, he also signed the so-called Southern Manifesto in 1956. Daniel also worked on a narcotics probe and reforming the electoral college.
Then U.S. Senator Daniel was elected governor of Texas in 1956. Thereafter, Daniel's chief intraparty rival Ralph Yarborough went on to succeed Daniel (after a temporary appointee, William A. Blakley of Dallas) in the Senate in a special election held in 1957. Also in the 1956 Democratic primary was a flamboyant former Republican, the historian J. Evetts Haley, who pledged to support segregation, remove price controls from natural gas, and halt the activities of South Texas political boss George Parr of Duval County. Haley returned to the Republican Party in 1964.
Daniel was reelected governor in 1958 and 1960. In 1960, Daniel won by a much larger margin for governor than John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson had scored in Texas as the Democratic presidential and vice presidential nominees. Daniel received 1,637,755 votes (72.8 percent) to Republican William M. Steger's 612,963 ballots (27.2 percent). Yet Kennedy and Johnson barely won the Texas electoral votes over Richard M. Nixon.
In 1961, the legislature passed a 2-cent sales tax, which Daniel allowed to become law without his signature so the state would not go broke. After the passage of the sales tax, Daniel's popularity waned, and he failed at his attempt to be elected to a fourth term in 1962. He lost the Democratic nomination to former Navy Secretary John Connally, who then defeated the Republican Jack Cox of Houston.
He was appointed to head the Office of Emergency Preparedness by Lyndon B. Johnson. In 1971, Daniel was appointed by Governor Preston Smith to the Texas Supreme Court; he was re-elected twice in 1972 and 1979 before retiring during his second term. The Price Daniel, Sr. State Office Building is named in his honor.
Daniel's wife, Jean Houston Daniel, was a great-great-granddaughter of the legendary Sam Houston. Daniel's eldest son, Marion Price Daniel, Jr. (properly Marion Price Daniel, III), was, like his father, later Speaker of the Texas House but served only one term. Later he was killed by a gunshot wound in 1981. His second wife was accused of murder, but she was acquitted. Price and Jean Daniel's other children were Jean Houston Murph, Houston Lee, and John Baldwin.

Essay - A White Heron White Heron - Sarah Orne Jewett This...
A White Heron
***** Heron - Sarah Orne Jewett
***** is a story with several important themes, and one of them is pastoral innocence coming into contact ***** ***** conflict ***** the loss ***** ***** in a modern, industrial world. The tone, conflict and character development in this story follows along ***** lines of what is known as American literary realism; indeed, realism is evident in a story when character is more critical to the story than plot or the actual action. Realism is a strategy ***** which ethical choices are at h*****, ***** ***** line ***** plausible, and humans are placed in n*****ural world settings.
In A White Heron, those elements are very much present. This is a story in which the character of ***** innocent girl is more important to the reader than the precise steps that are taken in the plot. This is a ***** *****triguing and original tale about the innocence of a girl who seems ***** like ***** creatures of the natural world than she ***** like young people her own age. The story embraces the changes and challenges facing a young ***** ***** ***** is confronted with ***** potential loss of innocence.
Indeed, nine*****year old Sylvia is the central *****, ***** protagonist; she is a working class girl but *****s don't know exactly what city she lives near but it ***** in New England, near a manufacturing center. This city near where she is living ***** an industrially focused metropolis, and the shy ***** has somehow grown "afraid of folks" (598, Norton Anthology of American Literature), ***** when one thinks about it is not that unusual for a girl who "...feels *****s if she were a part ***** ***** gray shadows and moving leaves..."
Sylvia has been adopted by her grandmot*****, a widow, ********** lives in a tiny house in the middle of a wooded *****rea. What readers ***** about Sylvia right away is that she loves th***** natural ***** sett*****g and is ***** involved in any apparent stress or pressure. That wooded w*****ld ***** she daily ***** to hunt down her dairy cow is some*****ing of a metaphor for a pastoral place beyond the boundary of the real and ugly world.
Jewett wr*****es (page 597, *****) that Sylvia "...had all the time *****re was, ***** very little use to make of it." And so with all ***** time on her hands, it's reasonable to expect an alert yet shy young girl with no playmates to become fascinated with birds and animals in the forest. Sylvia's grandmo*****r mentioned that Sylvia had a knack ***** "...straying ***** out-of-doors" and grandma also believed that the "...wild ***** counts her one o' themselves" (599).
This child could be considered a metaphor for ***** in the genre of realism. She could well be thought of as a symbol of ***** the world w***** ***** before industrialization, before wars, greed, lust for power and control of nature, and before the invention of weapons that kill.

Dr. Jeffrey W. Milsom's Ratings
Dr. Milsom saved my life 11 years ago. Since then I never missed a scheduled follow-up or test. In the last 11 years visited Dr. Milsom's office 15 - 20 times. Each visit was very reassuring and gave me great confidence that I am getting the best care possible. Dr. Milsom gives you the feeling that you are his most important patient. Takes time to check everything and to make sure that I am reassured that things are ok.

Dr Milsom is the best surgeon in the world!he is smart, caring, patient, gifted and has a big heart!!!!!!!

Dr. Milsom has performed two major surgeries on me in the last year and was following me for a couple of years prior to the surgeries. Although the operations and recovery have not been easy, they have been considered successful aside from a few bumps along the way that are totally unrelated to his surgical expertise. I have complete trust in his surgical skills and experience, his diagnosis, his treatment plans and I always leave his office with hope. He is a top expert in his field, has a very calm demeanor, is exceptionally patient and cares deeply about his patients and their well being. He is the blueprint for what all surgeons should aspire to be.

Im in my early 30's and I'm disabled for the rest of my life becasue of Dr. Milsom & he could care less. Because he damaged a nerve in my pelvis I am no longer able to have sex or have children. I had a fast paced great career that I lost due to the fact that I'm in constant pain. Its been a year since he did this to me and he has not called me once to even check up on me. he is over booked and thinks hes a god. What should have been an overnight surgery ended me up with a damaged nerve and a hole in my colon so at 30 yrs old I had a ileostomy! Which means I had to poop though a bag on my stomach. This should have been a simple 123 easy breezy surgey. But he is so geedy he didnt take me into the operating room till 3am!! and he was probablt exhausted when he made his mistake. Now im disabled, never 2 have sex again or children or work & he gets $30,000 of my hard earned money. Dont listen to the hype, hes a arragent **** who knows nothing.

Dr. Milsom is amazing. His surgical skill,patience, knowledge and bedside manner are the absolute best. After 25 years of suffering from Ulcerative Colitis, I just had step 1 jpouch surgery with him and all went exactly as planned with no real bumps in the road other than some pain from recovery.

There's nobody like Dr. Milsom! He's the most genuine, concerned & knowledgeable doctor I've ever had. After 4 years of enduring internal pain & trauma from a previous surgeon's 3 internal medical errors; then another set of surgeons that did little to correct them- It was Dr. Milsom who saved my life. With the utmost medical concern & bedside manner, he made sure I received the utmost surgical treatment & nursing care while in the hospital, along w/an attentive office staff. He listens intently to you, believes you, assesses & explains everything to you, giving the time required of him to understand you & your condition. He truly does everything in his power to ensure his patients receive the best possible treatment available, w/ respect, kindness, & making you always the priority. Due to multiple conditions, every surgeon involved in my care via Dr. Milsom was the best, securing the success of my final recovery-that's how much he cares. An amazing man & definitely my HERO! thxdrm<3LF

I had this doc perform hemorrhoid surgery on me a few years ago. He left me with problems that I then had to have fixed by another doctor. He staff was unresponsive to my needs and the doctor himself kept telling me it will get better, but never did until I went elsewhere. Also, the guy can't really see well so if he looks at a problem, I often wondered if he was really seeing it, cause when I went to another doctor for a 2nd opinion on why I was not healing that doctor said, oh here is the problem, you have a 'track' here and there... If Milsom could see well, he'd have seen the problem immediately when I complained about it. I think he took my case for the sake of bililng and collecting from my insurance carrier versus really know how to do a hemmorrhoidectomy.

I found Dr. Milsom through my own research after I was told by my GI doc I needed a colectomy for dysplasia which was determined by my GI doc's pathologists. I have had chronic ulcerative colitis for 20 years. Dr. Milsom is brilliant. He is exceptionally conscientious and is always looking out for his patient's best interest. I am surrently under surveillance with him and no other surgeon will ever operate on me other than him if it is determined I need a colectomy in the future. He is compassionate and caring and his demeanor and reputation are second to none. You are guaranteed to be in the best of hands if he is caring for you.

By Emily Brandler Proffitt, '05
Higher education in America is experiencing a watershed moment. Americans have long placed faith in institutions of higher learning and in the value of a college degree, but for many, that confidence has begun to erode in recent years. Prospective students and their parents, coping with stagnant or shrinking incomes due to a turbulent economy, are wondering if and how they will be able to afford an increasingly expensive college education. Amid stubbornly high unemployment rates, many college grads are facing a dreary job market and a pile of student loans and are questioning whether college was worth the investment.
Higher-education leaders, meanwhile, are grappling with how they will continue to provide the high-quality education the public has come to expect at the increasingly affordable prices they demand, even as these institutions face their own financial pressures. These leaders must also tackle issues including how to make college accessible to an ever-diverse student population and how best to prepare their students for a constantly changing world.
The Whitworth community is not immune to these issues. But neither is it stymied by them. To find out more about the challenges confronting colleges and universities across the U.S. and how Whitworth is rising to meet them, we spoke to three Whitworthians who live and work at the front lines of higher education: President Beck A. Taylor, Director of Admissions Marianne Hansen, '97, and Alicia Peebles, a senior biology major from Tacoma, Wash.
Q. How do budgets and policies being discussed at the state and national levels affect Whitworth? How are we responding to these challenges?
BT It's a common misperception that private independent universities like Whitworth are unaffected by state and federal public finance. Our students benefit directly from state and federal financial aid programs. For example, as much as $2.4 million in State Need Grants to 355 Whitworth students were in jeopardy during this Washington state legislative session. And important federal programs such as the Pell Grant and Stafford Loan are under continual scrutiny. These possible reductions and changes could hurt Whitworth's neediest students and could seriously impede the university's goal of providing access to students from across the family-income spectrum.
I've spent time in Olympia and Washington, D.C., talking with the governor and our federal and state delegations about the importance of investing in a college education for our citizens. Whitworth is also budgeting more institutional financial aid than ever before: More than $29 million in tuition dollars has been reallocated back to students and families in 2011-12. Our students are leading on this issue as well. Junior Macy Olivas heads Whitworth's chapter of Students for Educational Reform, and she has traveled the country lobbying on behalf of our students. Her leadership has been inspirational to me.
The state-level budget cuts also are rapidly closing the gap between public and private tuition. State universities have historically operated on a relatively low-tuition, low-financial-aid model. Private institutions like Whitworth have operated on a relatively high-tuition, high-financial-aid model. As state funding has diminished, Washington's public universities have had to raise their tuition dramatically -- approximately 35 percent in just the past two years. So a Whitworth education is looking increasingly affordable to many families. And when you add the relational culture and small class sizes we offer, the Whitworth experience becomes even more attractive.
In addition, President Obama recently stated that he is "putting higher education on notice." His State of the Union address this year included many positive actions for students -- like lowering student loan interest rates and extending tax credits for higher education. However, I worry about his suggestion about forms of federal regulation that could tie mandated institutional measures of performance to institutional access to federal aid for students. Our experience in education has been that one-size-fits-all regulations simply do not offer the range of remedies needed to address an increasingly diverse set of colleges and universities, not to mention the diversity of students and families at those institutions. The good news is that Whitworth would likely stand out as an over-achiever on most, if not all, of the scorecard measures -- like retention rates -- that are being suggested by the administration.
Q. What other pressing higher-education issues require Whitworth's attention?
BT First, I would say that Whitworth must remain true to its founding mission to provide a mind-and-heart education. Our mission calls us to combine an intellectually rigorous education with an education that embraces the idea that Christian faith matters. In a society that is being pulled to the extremes on so many issues of importance, Whitworth offers a place for thoughtful people who reject today's pitiful standards for civil discourse. Protecting that unique mission is both a pressing challenge and my highest responsibility as president.
Another pressing challenge is managing the complexities of the higher-education economic model. Much has been written recently about the increasing costs of higher education, and rightly so. The reality is that prospective parents and students expect the best -- the best faculty, the best programs, the best facilities, the best opportunities -- and the best is very expensive. Most of Whitworth's annual operating budget, about 80 percent, is allocated to personnel. Any employer will tell you that personnel costs are skyrocketing, and they are the root cause for the increase in tuition at universities like Whitworth. But what's the alternative? Talk to any prospective student, or any alum, and they will tell you that what makes Whitworth special are the small classes and high student-faculty interaction. Colleges that begin to cut investments in personnel almost immediately begin to see a decline in quality, and then a decline in enrollment. That would be disastrous for us. So we are continuing to find money-saving efficiencies in our business processes and squeezing out costs that are not core to our educational quality. Finally, we remain committed to working with parents and students from across the economic spectrum by returning many of the tuition dollars we receive to our students in the form of institutional aid, which is the second-largest expense category for the university. We need to be more creative, and I am confident that Whitworth is up to the task.
Finally, in difficult economic times, students are expecting more from their college diplomas in terms of employment and preparedness for an increasingly competitive labor market. As part of the Whitworth 2021 vision and strategic plan, Whitworth is recommitting to preparing students to succeed after graduation, whether in graduate school or in employment. That said, we must also remember that the value of a liberal arts education isn't just about developing job skills; it's also about educating students to become thoughtful and informed citizens. Maintaining a healthy balance between the objectives of a liberal arts education and preparing our graduates for vocational employment will be paramount as we develop curriculum and opportunities for our students in the years ahead.
Q. What are some of the concerns parents and prospective students are voicing?
MH We certainly hear concerns about affordability. Related to that are concerns about job and graduate school placement. As the unemployment rate remains above historical norms, families want to know that the significant investment they are making in higher education is going to pay off in terms of career advancement. Even with heightened concerns about financial issues, most students and parents are still very interested in mission, campus look and feel, and the quality of community life. In these areas, Whitworth continues to shine.
Q. How do you respond to those concerns when talking with students and their parents?
MH We encourage families to look at the net price of attendance after financial aid rather than the "sticker price." With private colleges like Whitworth investing more in financial aid, and tuition rising at public universities, the gap in net price between public and private institutions is shrinking. State budget cuts also are making it harder for students at public universities to graduate on time, which can dramatically increase a student's total college costs, while more than 85 percent of Whitworth's most recent graduating class finished in four years. We also need to acknowledge that the cost of providing an excellent college education has been going up faster than the rate of inflation -- similar to other industries that are dependent on a highly educated work force, early adoption of new technology, and other atypical cost drivers. This places a burden on families and calls on us to make the case for the value of a Whitworth degree. Whitworth is ranked by Kiplinger's as one of the top 100 private university values in the United States and is second among 118 regional universities in the West in U.S. News & World Report's 2012 rankings of best values. These rankings reflect Whitworth's academic excellence, affordable tuition relative to comparable institutions, and strong commitment to financial aid.
Q. What are some steps Whitworth is taking to address these issues?
MH For next year, we've increased our financial aid by about 10 percent -- increasing both academic merit scholarships and need-based grants. We've also revised the criteria for our academic scholarships, to make it easier for more students with good GPAs, who may not have great test scores, to qualify for higher scholarships. The big decision in the Whitworth 2021 plan to stabilize enrollment is enabling the university to reduce our student-faculty ratio and strengthen our professors' abilities to advise, mentor and support students. I would expect an even higher percentage of our graduates to finish in four years.
Q. Some alumni say that they could never get admitted to Whitworth now. Is this true?
MH As the number of applications to Whitworth has grown by 440 percent over the past decade, it's true that we have had to turn away many more students. However, we still take a holistic approach to reviewing admissions applications and do not reduce students to just numbers like GPA or SAT scores. In fact, we were one of the first schools in the Pacific Northwest to give students the choice of doing an interview rather than having their test scores considered in the admissions process -- since we realize that there are good students who may not be good test takers. Nevertheless, the academic profile of students applying to and enrolling at Whitworth is definitely rising. And that is a good thing for both the intellectual vitality of the campus and the value of a Whitworth degree.
Q. Why did you want to attend college? Why did you choose Whitworth?
AP I wanted to come to college because I knew that if I wanted to be independent and to be able to provide for myself and my future family, I could not just sit around my hometown and do nothing. For as long as I can remember, my parents have encouraged me to go to college and to pursue my dreams, so not going to college was never a realistic option for me.
Originally, attending a Christian liberal arts college was not my plan; I wanted to go to a big state school that everyone knew about and that would stand out on a résumé. While completing my senior exit project, I heard about this small school in Spokane called Whitworth, and they sent me a streamlined application that didn't require an essay and was free to fill out. So I filled it out, sent it in, and waited for my acceptance letter so that I could include it in my exit project. But as I began to research Whitworth, I was very impressed by the goals, standards and achievements that defined the university. Before long, my desires began to shift, and when I got my acceptance letter, I knew that I would be a Whitworth Pirate.
Q. What did you and your parents hope you would get out of your college education? How has Whitworth met your expectations?
AP At first, my parents and I hoped that I would get a degree and that I would be able to get a good job so I could provide my own family with experiences that I did not get to enjoy due to growing up in a low-income family. I felt that I was strong in my faith and that I was smart, so I wasn't looking to change who I was. Then, at Whitworth, I began to meet so many people who were passionate about so many different things, and I began to question my motivation for everything I did. I discovered that I was trying to do things so I could get the prestige that comes with a certain career and not because I was passionate about them or because that was where God wanted me. The education I've received has met my parents' and my expectations, but more than that, I feel my growth as a person and as a Christian at Whitworth has been much more than we could have ever hoped for.
Q. What did you and your parents have to do to get you to Whitworth, in terms of finances? How did Whitworth help you?
AP My family andI have had to take out loans because we are low-income, but I've also received quite a bit of financial aid help from Whitworth. The financial aid office has also recommended numerous scholarships that I have applied for, and they've answered any questions that my parents and I have had.
Q. What are your post-graduation plans and long-term goals?
AP Science has always fascinated me, and I love the endless possibilities that a science degree holds -- anything from medicine to HIV research -- and the constant discoveries that change and redefine what it means to be a biologist. After graduation, I plan to go to pharmacy school and join the military. I hope that in the long term I can do gene therapy research to discover more about resistance to cancer, HIV, and other diseases. But above all, I want to find the place that God has prepared for me and I want to love His people through service.

If there are two elements that will help us to achieve our goals without anything else, it is the ability to have discipline and the ability to create training motivation. These two elements are free in life but are both created from the heart and some people find it easy to motivate themselves whilst others sometimes need a helping hand in the form of a personal trainer or a coach.
Goals are what motivate us but it's the discipline that will keep us on track to make sure the changes take place. Without the motivation we lack the ability to have goals, which involves focusing on something that inspires us to get up off the chair and push us forward to where we want to be. If you find it difficult to focus i've recently found that Ginkgo Biloba helps sharpen your thoughts and can make all the difference.
During my whole journey of becoming fit I have always been motivated by the stage, getting up in front of all the audience to show everyone what you have achieved is a huge amount of motivation and gives me the drive to push harder and harder every day. Seeing the changes that can be created from being disciplined is what also pushes me forward.
Discipline in my diet can sometimes be very testing, I always have a cheat meal every Saturday which allows me to choose a meal that I have craved all week but sometimes that isn't enough, and sometimes I find myself wandering the kitchen, looking in cupboards, and feeling like my discipline to keep to a clean diet is being tested. How do I
overcome this? I often find that doing something that will distract you like cleaning or going out for a walk will distract me but it's not always practical, but there are always ways that you can get a quick fix to cure those hunger pangs like drinking a pint of water, this will temporarily fill you up, but if you have a sweet tooth then why don't you try making some suger free jelly to keep in the fridge? Sometimes just the thought of allowing yourself to have a spoonful of sugar free jelly will help to curb those dreaded cravings. But also making sure that you eat small and regular, eating a big meal will fill you up but it can sometimes be a long time before your next meal, so making sure that you eat regularly will ensure that you never go hungry. Foods like Protein Flapjacks or Protein Pancakes can give you a sweet fix and work as a meal replacement that is still helping you achieve your goals.
Setting small goals can be a great way to motivate yourself, a goal may be a new item of clothing, an event, or perhaps a competition, but whatever it may be it is always a starting point to achieving a new body or physique. Always remember to reward yourself, dieting and training can very often take its toll and can be quite demanding at times. So reward your achievements, I always make sure that I can afford a new item of gym wear or perhaps some new equipment to reward my efforts.
Making sure that you involve others in what your goals are, this can really help to motivate you. Having a good support network around you that can pick you up when you are down or help to encourage you, will make a huge difference. Just remember that you are an inspiration to others that want to do the same things as you, there is always someone out there that is just staring their training adventure and will look to you to help motivate them, for me this is what drives me every day and honoured that people look up to me for advice or direction.
Good luck in your training adventure and keep motivated!.......Anita.

Noemie Emery smartly observes, "Patrolling the world is not an idea that appeals to Obama by nature, nor one he can reach without strain." She explains:
He was not taken, like Kennedy, to North Church as a toddler, and made to recite "Paul Revere's Ride." In more ways than one he grew up outside of the mainland, with an outsider's view of America's presence, and when he came here, he gravitated to its more radical critics. … If a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged by reality, Obama is a liberal who is being mugged slowly by the realization that the weight of the world really does rest on his shoulders: That he is no longer an outsider or activist or a professor, but the real life commander in chief.
It isn't yet clear that Obama has made that transition or is willing to put aside his lefty academic fixations. At West Point, he still couldn't get out the word victory or avoid providing the netroots with a security blanket (i.e., a withdrawal date), which then had to be ripped from their clutches by the principal grown-up in the administration, Robert Gates. At West Point, Obama also felt compelled to prattle on about "prohibiting torture" (actually, he prohibited everything from a face slap to loud music; torture was illegal before) and closing Guantanamo. He's still pressing ahead with the KSM civilian trial. All this suggests that he's not quite able to give up the lure of leftist lawyers and activists, whose goal above all else is to demonstrate the Neanderthal-ness of the Bushies. Being commander in chief means fighting a war on terror against the terrorists, not the prior administration or our own intelligence community.
Meanwhile Obama seems blissfully unconcerned about Iran's dogged pursuit of nuclear weapons and disdain for engagement. He seems to lack a viable Plan B. (Plan A was "Obama charms the mullahs by denigrating America.") As Bob Kagan wrote recently, we don't yet know whether Obama can play "hardball" with our enemies (the real ones, not Fox News and ObamaCare opponents).
But Obama is plainly a president in progress when it comes to foreign policy. He had no significant national-security or military experience before coming to the Oval Office, so it's not surprising that he would treat war-planning like a negotiation over a public-works bill. Perhaps their all-consuming addiction to politics and desire to see foreign policy through the prism of domestic politics will, in this case, actually help the Obami get it right. After all, the public opposes a KSM civilian trial and the closing of Guantanamo, is willing to use military force to deprive the mullahs of nuclear weapons, and is supportive of a troop surge for Afghanistan. So if Obama can't find his inner commander in chief, perhaps he can simply be a smart pol — something he's quite practiced at.

With the United Arab Emirates air force having already received its Lockheed Martin F-16E/F Block 60 fighters and widely reported to also be close to approving an order for Dassault's Rafale, the presence of two sector rivals at the show comes as a surprise.
Expected to make their debuts at the Dubai air show are the Eurofighter Typhoon - represented by an aircraft from the UK Royal Air Force - and the US Air Force's Lockheed F-22 Raptor. The latter was the source of great contractual controversy earlier this year, until President Barack Obama carried out his pledge to terminate production of the fifth-generation type after 2012.
So with new orders for the Typhoon and F-22 not on the table in the UAE this week, why are they both here?
The answer is that not only has the UAE attracted the cream of the global aerospace industry to the Middle East this week, but it is also playing host to a major multinational exercise involving fighter assets from four nations.
In addition to the RAF and the USAF, the UAE air force is also exercising with military aircraft from France and Pakistan, with the manoeuvres being conducted from Al Dhafra, near Abu Dhabi.
The Typhoon on show is drawn from the RAF's 3 Sqn, based at Coningsby, Lincolnshire. The service has sent six of its aircraft to participate in the advanced tactical leadership course in the UAE. The unit also recently sent four aircraft to the Falkland Islands to begin providing air defence duties for the territory.

If government is sincere and wants to solve accommodation problems in Nigeria, let them give professionals in the private sector power to enable everybody have shelter within a few years.
This was the submission made by the Chief Executive Officer of Festrut Group Limited, Dr. Festus Asikhia, while speaking to newsmen during the group's maiden dinner organized for clients in Abuja Sunday.
The private developer said that land in some areas of Abuja can be acquired with N200,000 and buildings built with up to N3million, adding that clients can repay in about 15 years, no matter their salary scale.
"Our property are affordable to low income earners as we have plans for them with the banks to get affordable loans spread across a time frame that will be comfortable to pay," he stated.
While speaking on the issue of demolition which is giving clients' of estate developers' sleepless nights, Asikhia said that due process should be followed by property developers in the FCT to avoid unnecessary financial losses and emotional pains as a result of demolitions witnessed in Abuja recently.
In a goodwill message, former House of Reps member, Dino Melaye, hailed the prices fixed to Festrut Property and advised members of the public, especially low income to take advantage of them.
He advised Nigerians to get out of their comfort zones to fight corruption in the country, if not the situation will remain the same.

Hendricks married actor Geoffrey Arend ("500 Days of Summer") yesterday at Il Buco restaurant in New York City. The two met through "Mad Men" co-star Vincent Kartheiser, reports The Daily Mail.
But more importantly, the dress. The actress knew right away that the Carolina Herrera ivory fils coupe gown was "the one." "It was the first dress I tried on," she told the source. "And it was magnificent." (That, it was!)
The actress has a vintage engagement ring circa the '20s/'30s that Arend bought for her at an antique shop.
Sounds like the perfect match! (The couple and the rings.)

How to Pay Off Payday Loans
Two Parts:Managing Your Money and Preparing to Pay Off the LoanPaying Off the Loan
A payday loan, also called a cash advance, is a quick way to obtain needed money to pay bills or cover unexpected emergencies. However, after the money is used to pay bills or cover emergencies, you still owe the lender the amount of the loan plus any interest due. Typically, you have to give the payday lender a check to deposit to receive the cash advance. If you don't pay the lender, you risk additional fees or even a lawsuit or wage garnishment-if the lawsuit is successful. Thus, it's important to know how to pay off payday loans to avoid all those financial and legal consequences.
Part 1 of 2: Managing Your Money and Preparing to Pay Off the Loan
1Understand that giving the payday loan office a check is part a part of the process of paying off your loan. After your application for a payday loan has been approved, you will be asked to give the payday loan office a check for the amount of money they are loaning you, plus the fee they will charge you for taking out the loan.
- This check will be cashed on the day that you are supposed to pay back your loan. This will be discussed further in Part 2 of this article.
2Call the payday loan office if you have any questions about their policies. During the time in between taking out the loan and having to pay it back, make sure that you call the office if you have any questions. It is important to have all of your information clarified so that you do not accidentally forget to pay off your loan, as doing so could result in you getting charged a fee.
3Prepare to pay back your payday loan. Make sure you use the time before the payday loan is due to save money. You will need to have an adequate amount of money in your banking account in order to pay back your loan.
- Create a budget that includes your monthly expenses and debts. Make sure that you set aside money that is designated to pay off the payday loan.
4Don't make unnecessary purchases before paying off your loan. As mentioned above, it is of the utmost importance that you have enough money in your bank account to pay off your loan. If there is a chance that it may be challenging for you to do this, make sure that you do everything within your power to limit your spending until after you have paid back the loan.
- For example, consider buying groceries to cook at home, rather than going out to eat before you need to pay off your loan. Play games at home rather than going out to the movies, and go on a hike over the weekend rather than going to an expensive amusement park.
5Seek help and make a budget in order to pay off your loan. Investigate your options to repay your payday loans. See if going to a credit counseling agency will help you to pay off your loans. The agency may help you create a budget and stick to it to save money so that you can pay off your loans in a timely manner.
- Pay off one payday loan at a time if you have taken out more than one loan. However, you can try to pay them all off if you have enough money.
- Check state laws on payment arrangements. Make sure your state allows you to make arrangements with payday lenders.
Part 2 of 2: Paying Off the Loan
1Know when you have to pay your loan back. When you get your loan, you will be given a date that you will need to pay your loan back by. Make sure that you clarify what this date is, and find out what the company's policies are for paying back your loan.
- Most payday loan companies will ask you to pay back the loan by your next payday. Keep in mind that you will not have to go into the office to pay back your loan; the company will simply cash the check you gave them.
- You may also be able to go directly into the office and pay your debt off in cash, rather than having the company process your check.
2Make sure you have enough money in your bank account. As mentioned above, the company will cash the check that you gave them when you received your payday loan. It is important that you know exactly how much money you wrote down on the check so that you can be sure to have the correct amount in your bank account.
- If you have enough money in your bank account, then your payday loan will be paid back and your dealings with the payday loan company will be over.
- If you do not have enough money in your account, then you will most likely be charged a fee (a common fee for this transaction is $15). You will then be given a time frame in which you will need to pay back your loan, as well as the additional fee you have been charged.
3Consider renewing your loan if you need more time. If you know you will not have enough money by the time you have to pay back your loan, then consider extending your loan. You will most likely be able to extend your loan until your next payday. Understand that you will most likely be charged extra to do this.
- Take note that some states in the United States do not allow payday loan offices to extend loans.
- If you do renew your loan, make sure that you are clear about when you need to pay off this extended loan.
4Talk to the company about paying your loan back early. Some companies may allow you to pay off your loan as soon as you have the amount of money necessary to do so. Talk to your specific payday office about their policies regarding this matter.
5Understand the consequences that could occur if you do not pay off your loans on time. If you do not pay your loan off on time, you are very likely to be charged a high fee, or begin to incur further debt. Some of the consequences could include:
- You may be charged a late fee. The extent of this fee will vary from company to company.
- You may also be charged if your check bounces and the payday company cannot cash your check.
- The payday company may contact you by phone, mail, or email.
- The payday company may sell your debt to a collection agency. This agency may charge you fees to collect your debt, on top of the fees that you already own the payday agency.
We could really use your help!
Family Life?
Burn and Scorch Marks?
- You can avoid taking out payday loans by saving a small amount of money out of each paycheck for any emergencies.
- If you are beginning to feel the pinch then it's time to look at your outgoings and cut back on the luxuries. Give your finances a trim so that you are left with more disposable income each month.
- Payday loans are an expensive means of credit. If you believe you may ever fall into a situation where you find yourself taking out a payday loan then why not join a credit union instead. Credit unions provide similar loans to payday loan companies at much cheaper rates.
- If you decide to take a debt consolidation loan, understand that you're paying off the payday lenders with another loan. You will owe the money to the financial institution that paid the payday lender. You also should be aware that not all debt consolidation companies are legitimate and they do have high interest rates or fees.
- Don't extend payday loans more than two times.
- Be careful when searching for a debt charities. Whilst debt charities are a good source of free advice there are many companies that use misleading names which could lead you into believing they are a charity when in actual fact they are a commercial company and will charge you a fee for their services.
- One more thing to keep in mind is that you will have to keep a lower budget for the next month, as the pay back amount will be deducted from your checking account on your next payday.
- You can ask a friend or family member to lend you the money to pay off the payday loans. However, you must pay them back.

NBA Betting Odds: Miami Heat at Indiana Pacers Game 3
- Updated: May 26, 2013
NBA Playoff Betting – Heat Favored on Road in Pivotal Game 3 With Pacers
by Charles Jay, Exclusive to BangTheBook.com
The Indiana Pacers have certainly surprised a few BetAnySports customers with the way they have been battling the Miami Heat, and now, if they can "hold serve" at home, they have a chance to take a commanding lead in their Eastern Conference finals series. First they will have to win Game 3, which is slated for Sunday night at 8:35 PM ET at the Banker's Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
Miami Heat at Indiana Pacers
East Finals – Game 3 (Series tied 1-1)
Sunday, May 26 – 8:35 PM ET
Banker's Life Fieldhouse – Indianapolis
The Heat had the best record in the NBA this season, but that does not mean this team is going to automatically rebound from Friday night's 97-93 loss. Indiana has plenty of balance in the lineup, and the Pacers have proven to be pretty tough to stop in the paint.
Miami gets respect, however. In the NBA playoff betting odds that have been posted at BetAnySports, they are the favorites on the road:
Miami Heat -1.5
Indiana Pacers +1.5
Over 181.5 Points -110
Under 181.5 Points -110
Heat wins game -123
Pacers win game +103
There is a sort of fake humility about LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and the other Heat players about "taking one game at a time," etc. But there is enough real arrogance there to suggest that they really didn't expect any team, much less the Pacers, would be putting them in position where they could actually be in a hole in this series. Yet there has to be the realization that they are in with a team that could be their equal on any given night.
What makes Indiana (+255 to win the series in NBA playoff betting at BetAnySports) tough is the fact that they can defend. The Pacers have been the NBA's most efficient defensive team for much of the year; they have allowed an average of one point per possession, with "effective" field goal percentage of 42% against. The heat, by comparison, has allowed 1.04 points a possession, translating to 104 points per 100 possessions, and 44% from the field in terms of the effective percentage.
Also, Indiana permitted less than 26 points per game from close range, compared to over 29 for Miami. But the Heat had 60 points in the paint in Game 1, so they were able to make many of the easy baskets they wanted. Miami was held to 40 points in the paint in Game 2, but that is still more than Indiana feels comfortable yielding. The fact that they could easily be up 2-0 despite all this may be a good sign for them; if they can seal the lane for the most part, they will force Miami (the -310 series favorite at BetAnySports) to do what they have not done all that well in the first two contests, which is shoot from beyond the three-point arc. The Heat is just 30% from downtown, although we know they are capable of quite a bit more.
Roy Hibbert was the center of a lot of discussion after Game1, if you pardon the pun, as coach Frank Vogel left him out of the game at critical times, including the final play when LeBron James drove for the winning score. But Hibbert certainly got enough time on the floor in Game 2, dominating the Heat inside to score 29 points and pull down ten rebounds. If Miami doesn't figure a way to curtail his explosions in the middle, the Heat, which had designs on winning many titles in a row, could go home very disappointed.
The place to be for NBA playoff betting is BetAnySports!

Going to try after dinner Also, sometimes when using hair i got glowing ones since the texture was a emitting map. Do not know in new versions.
i tested the basic Genesis, and for the transparency of the cornea, they set Opacity to 0%, but that's ignored during the export//import phases, so you can fix this by applying an all-black image to the opacity channel of the cornea and they will be transparent in Blender too.
when an object in the scene has an image map applied to the Ambient Color, mcjTeleblender makes this object emissive. Usually you'd use that feature as area lights

Humans today eat gorillas and chimpanzees, so why would our prehistoric ancestors flinch at sitting down to a nicely roasted Neanderthal?
That's the shocking new hypothesis being raised by anthropologists in Spain who wonder if our closest extinct relative was exterminated in the same way as 178 other large mammals, so called megafauna, which are suspected of going at least partially by the hand of hungry human hunters.
