Fire damages convenience store
Fire damaged a convenience store Wednesday in East Durham and left a Durham firefighter with a minor injury, officials said.
Dan Curia, interim chief of the Durham Fire Department, said firefighters got the call to New York Mini Mart at 2929 Angier Ave. at 1:52 p.m.
They saw heavy flames on the right side of the one-story, brick building and smoke throughout when they arrived.
Curia said a brick wall divided the store into two parts. The section that sustained the most damage had a bed and appeared to be used for store employees to "get some rest," he said.
Damage to the mini-mart section was minor, but the store was closed as the fire investigation continued.
Curia said investigators believe the fire started accidentally, but are "working to pinpoint the exact cause."
A firefighter suffered a cut, but Curia said the injury is minor and won't prevent him from returning to work.
Firefighters from six city stations were at the scene for about two hours, assisted by the Bethesda Volunteer Fire Department's ladder truck.

Police Blotter: 12.14.06
Michael Guzman, 38, was arrested Wednesday morning after police said he robbed a loan service in the 3800 block of South Staples Street.
An employee was alone about 9 a.m. Wednesday when a man fitting Guzman's description entered E Z Money with a knife and demanded money, Capt. John Houston said.
The employee gave the man an undisclosed amount of money from the register, then was ordered to go to the safe in the back of the store to get more money, Houston said.
After handing the man more money, the employee was forced to lie on the ground, Houston said.
The bell at the front door rang, which signals when a customer walks in, so the man ran through the back door, Houston said.
The customer and employee chased the man until they flagged down an officer who was patrolling the area near Weber Road and Doddridge Street, Houston said.
Guzman was arrested on an aggravated robbery charge, Houston said. He remained in the Nueces County Jail on Wednesday on a $50,000 bond on the robbery charge and a separate $500 bond for an out-of-county warrant, according to jail officials.

Ramires was left out of Brazil's successful Confederations Cup campaign following an apparent mix-up between his club and country over his fitness for two matches in March.
The 26-year-old has not played for Brazil since then - when he was at one point accused of attending his wife's dinner party instead - and Chelsea last month apologised for miscommunication surrounding his groin injury.
Ramires will be joined in the squad by Chelsea team-mates David Luiz, currently out of action with hamstring problem and Oscar while Tottenham summer signing Paulinho is also included.
Veteran full-back Maicon after leaving Manchester City for Roma has also been handed a recall in a near full-strength squad including the likes of Neymar, Thiago Silva and Dani Alves.
Brazil will meet Australia, who have already qualified for next summer's World Cup finals, in Brasilia on September 7 before meeting Portugal in Boston three days later.
Brazil squad: Julio Cesar (Queens Park Rangers), Jefferson (Botafogo), Dani Alves (Barcelona), Maicon (Roma), Marcelo (Real Madrid), Maxwell (Paris St Germain), Thiago Silva (Paris St Germain), David Luiz (Chelsea), Dante (Bayern Munich), Henrique (Palmeiras), Fernando (Shakhtar Donetsk), Hernanes (Lazio), Luiz Gustavo (Wolfsburg), Paulinho (Tottenham), Ramires (Chelsea), Oscar (Chelsea), Jo (Atletico Mineiro), Lucas (Paris St Germain), Hulk (Zenit St Petersburg), Bernard (Shakhtar Donetsk), Fred (Fluminense), Neymar (Barcelona).

An East Texas WW II Veteran has a new place to call home.
Watkins-Logan-Garrison Texas State Veterans Home in Tyler cut the ribbon Tuesday morning.Willard Kirkpatrick is a 94-year old veteran who served in the Army and fought to protect our country. So for his family and the community, it was important to not just put him in a nursing home, but in a real home.
The difference between this veterans' home and a traditional nursing home is this a small house concept, which means there are only 10 homes with 10 residents inside, giving it that more homey feeling.
"What I want to see is all the old veterans in here. So he has someone to relate to; that's why I moved him here," said Willard Kirkpatrick, Jr., Willard's son.
"I think it's alright, it's nice," said Willard.
"It's not necessarily an old soldiers home, but it's about as homey as any other facility I've ever been in and the way I see everyone is dedicated, it's a great day," said Gerald Holsworth, Navy Veteran.
It was a great day for veterans, and an even better day for Willard.
"He's always made his own way. He's never asked anyone for anything. He's always willing to help you. He was a great dad and a better friend," said Willard, Jr.
The second veteran moved in Tuesday afternoon and another one will move in Wednesday.The veterans' home will eventually be able to house 100 residents.
Headquartered in San Antonio, Texas,
Touchstone Communities® provides health care services, including skilled nursing, rehabilitation and Alzheimer's care.

Fairfax County police have charged a 24-year-old Woodbridge man with two counts of armed robbery and two counts of forcible rape following an incident at a Springfield area hotel on New Year�s Day.
Police said they responded to the Extended Stay Hotel, 6800 Metropolitan Center Drive, for a report of a man brandishing a gun at around 6 p.m. on Tuesday.
Police said that the man tried to elude police but officers tracked him down, apprehended him, and took him into custody.
Joshua T. Franklin, of the 14700 block of Alabama Ave., reportedly met up with two women at the hotel after arranging the meeting through an online service, according to police.
Police said that when the women would not comply with his demands, Franklin allegedly produced a gun, ordered them to engage in sex acts with each other and then forcibly raped them both.
Police did not say why Franklin was charged with robbery, but said the women, ages 18 and 25, did not require medical attention.
Franklin is being held without bond in the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center. Attorney information for Franklin is not available.
Police said they are investigating whether similar cases in other jurisdictions may be linked to him.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Fairfax County Police at 703-691-2131.

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12, 2005 U.S. and coalition forces today took down a suspected al Qaeda safe house and put an enemy mortar team out of commission during two separate raids in Iraq, according to U.S. military press releases.
U.S. 3rd Infantry Division, 3rd Brigade, soldiers captured a terrorist mortar team near Baqubah. The terrorists had set up their equipment when the U.S. soldiers encountered the enemy position, officials said.
The terrorists then directed rocket-propelled grenades and small-arms fire at the Americans, but the enemy detachment was quickly overwhelmed. Six terrorists were captured along with their mortar tube, six mortar rounds, the RPG launcher and four RPG rounds, officials said.
A seventh terrorist was killed in the exchange. No U.S. injuries were reported.
And, U.S. and coalition forces raided a suspected al Qaeda safe house located in the village of Qazwan, near Ramadi, Iraq. The dwelling was suspected of being a base of a senior al Qaeda in Iraq leader operating in the Ramadi area, officials said.
Four terrorists were killed and four others were detained during the raid. Two of the detainees were wounded while resisting capture. The wounded detainees were taken to a nearby coalition hospital for medical treatment and are expected to recover, officials reported.
Coalition forces had cordoned off the area before the raid and called in close-air support during the engagement.

Thousands to pay council tax for the first time in Broxbourne
Posted: December 19, 2012|
MORE than 2,000 residents who do not have to pay council tax will now have to stump up at least one-fifth of their bill.
The change will be made in April, when ministers are due to hand responsibility for council tax to councils while reducing funding by 10 per cent.
Councils have been told they must continue to support pensioners, but authorities can tailor their provision for people of working age. A total of 2,200 people will be affected by the changes.
After consulting with residents over an eight-week period, Broxbourne Council agreed to also protect those in receipt of disability benefit.
But despite a "relatively encouraging" consultation, only 13 per cent of the respondents were currently in receipt of benefit and almost 40 per cent were 61 or over.
"There is a risk that the people who will be most affected by the proposals are not the ones who have made their views known," a report to councillors said.
The "over-riding requirement" of the new scheme was that it must operate within the funding available and that there would be no impact on other taxpayers.
Councillors agreed that all working age claimants will pay at least 20 per cent of their full tax bill.
The second adult rebate for working age claimants will also be scrapped and support will be restricted to the level of council tax charged on a Band E property.
Cllr Paul Seeby (Con, Flamstead End) said: "The more we look at the benefits system we can see what a mess we've got ourselves in."
Cllr Mark Mills-Bishop (Con, Goffs Oak) said: "Council tax support reform is the start of what will be a difficult period for some people over the next 18 months with the implementation of welfare reform.
"I am absolutely determined to ensure that as a council we will mitigate where possible the effect and impact of welfare reform on our residents."
Broxbourne's scheme will cost £6.4m per year – 12.7 per cent less than the current £7.2m spent and a bigger cut than the 10 per cent required by Government. The council said the larger reduction reflected anticipated problems with collection.
The council's finance director Gillian Clelland told a meeting of the cabinet last Tuesday that many residents would be paying council tax for the first time.
She said: "We've built in a bit of a buffer because we anticipate problems with collection."
Council leader Cllr Paul Mason (Con, Broxbourne and Hoddesdon South) said: "We were given very little time to implement the changes."
Housing association B3Living and the Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) expressed concerns about the social impact and risk of hardship when the changes to council tax support are combined with other forthcoming welfare reforms.
Simon Walton, Director of Housing Services for B3Living, said: "We are concerned about the impact of the Government's Welfare Reforms on our tenants, who are amongst some of the most vulnerable in our society.
"About 215 of our most vulnerable households will be affected by the Welfare reform. We estimate that in the most extreme cases households will lose up to £122-a-week.
"We recognise that the council had very little scope in the face of a reduction in their budget but it does appear they have used their limited discretion to mitigate the impact on the most vulnerable, a move which we are supportive of."
The scheme is due to be rubberstamped by full council next week.

King James Version (KJV)
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
Who is this beast ?
What does coming from the earth means ?
What is the two horns like a lamb symbolize ?
Why does the beast speak as a dragon and what is and how does it function ?

I agree darabbit... He cant even spell Mr. Hills name right!
And btw, having being able to speak to groups and the media (non)effectively doesnt relate to his coaching abilities, just to be quite honest anyone with common since can see that
And you are just as dumb as the tennisguy... so first admitt you know NOTHING on how to Coach a College Football team, so therefore now that's out of the way we all know what you just said has NO relevance!
Thank you for your expert analysis on College Football! The only thing left to say to you is to STFU and go back to your hole!
you took the words right out of my mouth. what an idiot! He must have been an abused child!
would love to be a fly on the wall for that inspirational speech! MS seems to be that kind of man who keeps it "real"
Thanks for your crystal ball! Didnt know you can look into the future!
i put ZERO stock in these "doctors".. Every year this is gonna be a "busy" season!! whatever, they have NO clue until the day or two days before..
hill broke his arm in the 4th qtr (or 3rd) in the game.. he fell and his elbow was inverted.. they showed the replay and it didnt look good..
Valid points scouter
All LSU needs to do is win, one game at a time. until the BCS comes out, these rankings are just a number.
good points, but go with experience not what you see in the preseason (2) games.. i think your analysis is a bit premature. the brass seen something they like in him whenever he worked out with them..
I agree.. he has more game time and knows what cleats to wear! (lol). but seriously I couldnt agree with you more.. he is better than bell.. mbell is a true #3... betts is a true#2 in my book.. I watched him for the past couple seasons against the eagles and he is a sure thing in short yardage situations. very shifty hips and can move the pile a yard when he needs to.
nothing to get carried away.. just look at the stats... the proof is on the field. I like PT.. I just know that REggie is running down field now, and yes it took entirely too long, but he is better with the ball period.
Yea I do believe that our ST unit will give us a slight edge over Bama on Nov6th. I think field position will be the key factor as in most games. None of us know what Fla will have this season.. yes they are talented.. with our secondary, their offense does not scare me, unless they have a top notch rushing attack, which is possible. Same with Arky.. Yes will will lose a game would should win, and Miles ALWAYS pulls out a game we are supposed to fall short on. Point being.. I also like this team in EVERY GAME.
But seriously MTB. The OL cant be worse than it was last season. And Alem should have never been a starter on the defense. There also it couldnt get any worse in my book. I see a lot of upside with this team.. and yes a bit overly optimistic, but I have alot of faith in this years unit! We were too close last year in every game besides florida....... I know every team improves.. and so does LSU.. but I am still betting on the BGonzalas, Chavis and Miles!
Not exactly true. the Admistration couldnt be more please with Coach Miles and his success at LSU, what you just said is here say, Skip Bertman is still very close to the Admin, and he was just interviewed asking if Coach Miles is on any kind of "hot seat", and he stated "Not at all". I would not fall for the media hype on coach Miles, they are just trying to create a story because they have NOTHING on the LSU program this season. its old news that is in fact, false!
Yes sir! The team on paper is ready for a shot at the SEC!
Not surprised that Reggie was the feature back last night.. he infact out performed Pt and is expected to become the starting RB for new orleans.
"NCAA bars touted Alfy Hill from Tide"
little Nicky still doing the BOGUS recruiting and signing. The NCAA did NOT accept some of Hill's courses and thus NO 4 star DE for NC for little Nicky in the 2010 class. Miles got 27 out of 27 in to school. Wonder how many others little Nicky lost? ROTFLMAO!!

Some cards just don't work, reason unknown...if you keep getting that same error try a different card.
use THIS guide and download the pack from the part that says "You can download files needed for this guide HERE"
unpack the zip to your desktop and put on to your sd card so you have four folders and the boot.dol (00000001, apps, private, wad and the boot.dol)on the root of the card. not inside the "put onto sd card" folder. do you know what the root is?
then print out the guide so you can look at it while in front of your TV and follow it.
come on mr paranoid have a bit of faith. you can do it
Why are you reading this? its always the same!!
Most 2gb non-sdhc cards work...the best is probly sandisk
am using a micro sd card with adapter is this the problem maybe. i formatted it to fat 16 i can coy the twilight hack over but you's reckon it could be the sd card ill buy another give a go because ive printed the tutorial and done it step by step with no luck
i would like to say thanks to every 1 who has helped me. i no tht im a stupid noob but hay every 1 was a noob at 1 point
I use a 2GB micro SD card ^_^ Unless you've updated to a higher firmaware, the maximum size of the card is 2GB, so make sure yours is that or less.
i finally got it i have the home brew installed correctly so thanx to every 1 who helped u guys r amazing cant wait to download some games do yous have any good sites
Get a torrent program. Start with public sites, such as Mininova : The ultimate BitTorrent source!, and learn the basics. Try to then get a bitgamer or supertorrents or such, then go for the motherlode: nTorrents ^_^
What he means is get a torrent client like Utorrent, then go to suppertorrents and sign up. Maybe also try to get a demonoid invite.
I live in the US and if you do to I would advise against downloading copyrighted material, but that's your choice. I used to download torrents until I recieved a nasty letter from my ISP. It was a warning letter, very scarry stuff. I suspect who ever it was that was uploading the torrent worked for the copyright holder(s).

Reliable Heating & Air sells Energy Star rated equipment and recycles several tons of metal, steel, aluminum, copper, and cardboard each week. All r-22 (Freon) is recovered and turned into an EPA reclamation facility. All new equipment we sell and install uses the environmentally friendly refrigerant R410a. Our technicians are EPA certified and trained in the proper handling and disposal of the HCFC R-22 (Freon).
I decided on Reliable Heating & Air based on the fantastic reviews, and that was a great decision. All the reviews are well deserved. Deon, my technician called ahead and arrived when he said he... would. He was well prepared, extremely knowledgeable, and explained everything he was doing. I'm asking for him for all my future appointments! GREAT JOB!!!VIEW MORE »VIEW LESS »
We had Lawrence Overstreet as our technician. He was great and the service was great! We give them a thumbs up!
Reliable has proven themselves to me in multiple tasks (both HVAC installation / maintenance and plumbing maintenance) across multiple properties (both residential and commercial)! Before undertaking significant work, I usually obtain at least 3 bids from qualified contractors and Reliable is always very competitive on price (and sometime the best), but more importantly their quality is top-notch and they do the work right the first time. All of their techs have served me well, but Woo in HVAC is absolutely WOONDERFUL! Woo is not only knowledgeable, but he is really passionate about his work and shows that he cares for the customer as well! I couldn't be happier! Thank you!
Thanks Cain for all your great work on replacing the water faucets. Your work was very thorough to make sure there are no more leaks throughout the entire house. Great service for reasonable prices. They also don't push to do more than what is needed at the time. I've dealt with Reliable a few times now and everyone has been so friendly and understanding.
Always dependable, excellent service, plus great value. Oniel and Roberto installed my new HVAC last week and did an incredible job. Also used Reliable for Duct Cleaning recently. I totally trust Reliable's team members - all very knowledgeable and professional. And they take to time to answer all my questions and even explain things I don't think to ask. Relief to find a proven company I can trust.
AC broke down. Reliable repairmen said the furnace needs to be replaced and sales will call back. Followed up multiple times but no one from Reliable calls back. It has been more than two weeks since Reliable has put us on hold without any service or follow-up. We have small kids and grandparents at home who are suffering. Reliable - are you really reliable any more???
Thank you for your honesty in your experience. I cannot understand how the communication has been missed in getting your furnace priced out and replaced. I will personally take care of your needs if you will call me directly at the office at (770)594-9969 or my cell (404)931-5678.

Had two new A/C units installed in December and when it got warm outside and we needed to run the units, I found out that the one downstairs was not properly wired correctly. I called them about this and they came out and fixed the problem. I was not charged. At the same time, I ask to schedule our maintenance agreement. They told me it would be a month so I agreed to that. I got a call from them after taking off of work for the day that they would have to cancel due to the number of calls they had coming in for service. I agreed and rescheduled for today. Again I took off of work and was told they would be here by 1:00 pm. They never showed. When I called the office I was told that they did not know why I wasn't visited this morning as I was on the dispatchers list for this morning. They offered to come out tomorrow but I cannot afford to take another vacation day off. This really irritates me that so little customer service was given. Not even a phone call!!!! And you call yourself RELIABLE!!!!!
Please accept our apologies for the error made on yesterdays call. I have asked one of our Lead CSR's to contact you today to make this right in your eyes. Please know that we strive to provide excellent customer service and it is regrettable and humbling when we miss the level we are capable of. We appreciate you as a client and will work diligently to improve the experience you have with Reliable.
My AC wasn't working. Reliable's service man took pictures and thoroughly explained what was wrong so I could trust what he was saying and why I needed to replace it. There was a cancellation today and my new unit was installed earlier than expected. Gary Carter and Mark Chappell were professional and efficient and my home is cool now. Thank you!

I met the owner one day when I was in getting filters. Great guy and I went with Reliable on a new HVAC system. Wayne Daniel came out to service the unit as it was a pleasure to meet such a professional person. He was on time, knew what to look for right away, repaired the unit and set up for an upcoming inspection on my older units. I was so pleased I called today and your guys are coming out to quote two new systems, duct cleaning and blown-in insulation
After 3 years of frustration with another company who could not permanently fix my A/C unit upstairs, I hired Reliable Heating and Air. After a brief trial and error, Timothy was able to figure out that water evaporation from my large marine aquarium was the cause of my A/C unit problems. Timothy rewired and moved the upstairs unit and bingo, problem solved! It may seem like an easy fix, but no other service professional could figure out the problem. I highly recommend Reliable Heating and Air because of their professionalism, strategic thinking, and friendly staff.
I had an electrical problem in the kitchen. I called and spoke to Mike (a great guy.) He was able to schedule an appointment the same day. Andy (another great guy) fixed the problem quickly and professionally. The only downside is that the work was expensive. That said, I wanted a licensed, careful, and insured electrician. That is exactly what I received. I think you get what you pay for.
Freddie from Reliable arrived on time and was very friendly. He answered all of my questions, made me feel totally comfortable with what he had to do to repair my air conditioner explaining everything he did. I highly recommend Reliable for any of your heating and air issues.
I had my downstairs Heating and Air replaced by Reliable Heating & Air.. The installation team of Mike Miller and Mark Jones were excellent, they exceeded my expectations even though they had a few minor setbacks.. Mike even replaced a corroded gas line with a new one when dozens of others just shrugged it off saying it wasn't an issue... Mark & Mike were on time, courteous, professional and took great care not to trample my flowers and shrubs.. They also did an excellent job in cleaning up the work area after a long day..All my questions were answered and Mike specified how to quickly register my units online for warranty purposes... I would highly recommend Mike and Mark anytime.
I just had 2 HVAC systems installed today. I got a few quotes, but selected Reliable based on their good reviews and comptetitive pricing by Jeff in Sales. The installers, Andrew and Billy, were prompt, professional, and kept a clean workspace in my home. It was very hot in the attic and they carried on without delay or complaint. I also had a chance to meet Daniel, the Install Manager, and he was also very professional. In jest, I was very pleased with their work, happy to have my new Seer 16 A/C systems in, and looking forward to working with them again for my HVAC needs.
Trey Jackson &Brent Dean just installed 2 ac units and heaters over the past 2 days. They were honest, polite and so friendly while working in unbearable heat. Please ask for them when you need an install They are remarkable young men who I recommend to anyone
We recently experienced a failure of our A/C unit and called a company which we had used before with good success for service. The result of the service was that the unit could not be repaired and would have to be replaced. Having resolved myself to replacing the system, I called Reliable for an estimate. Kevin C., the sales consultant arrived on time as scheduled. Since I had expressed some reservations about the previous company's diagnosis of the problem, Kevin agreed to look at the unit. In short, he was able to diagnosis and repair the unit in less time than the original service. I was impressed with his experience and his methodical approach to solving and repairing the problem. Their estimate was very competitive but beyond that I could not put a value on the "Honesty" and friendly service exhibited by Kevin. A great asset and representative for Reliable. When the time does come to have my system replaced, my first call will be to Kevin at Reliable Heating & Air.

I had new heating and cooling installed recently; Beau Marley and Tevin Bridges were the men who came out. They were both very nice and professional and explained things to me as they worked. The space where the heater and water heater is housed is a very tiny space and it requires someone who can fit thru a mouse hole type opening. Tevin was the one who got thru the mouse hole to do the work and Beau called out instructions. After the installation I discovered my water heater wasn't heating so I called Beau to ask if they could have done something to it and he said he didn't think so but he offered to come back out that night to look at it. I knew his trip would take a while since he lived a good distance from me so I asked him to come by the next morning. Both men returned the next morning and Tevin crawled thru the mouse hole again to discover that the water heater was set to vacation mode, he must have hit a button by mistake when he was working in that tiny area. He apologized many times but I told him I didn't blame him because of the area he had to work. My point here is that another company might have said they weren't responsible and put me off since the water heater wasn't involved in the contract. Beau and Tevin were very kind to return quickly and figure out the problem. I am very pleased with their service.

At 10pm the night before I had to catch an early morning flight, my water heater failed and began slowly leaking into the closet on our main floor. The shutoff valve also failed so that when I attached the garden hose to the unit to drain it, the tank just kept refilling. Perfect. I called Reliable at about 11pm and their answering service contacted one of their technicians, Cain, who called me almost immediately. By midnight, Cain had arrived and proceeded to work through the night to get my water heater replaced and producing hot water in time to catch the plane. The family bedrooms are very close to the water heater, and he worked nearly silently the whole time so as not to wake my sleeping family. He made sure that everything was cleaned up and working properly before he left. I highly recommend both Reliable and Cain for their remarkable level of service.

I'm an energy conservationist. While aspiring to become greener with physical resources, I'm also working with my clients to become truly evergreen with their personal energy — a crucial step as we address the aspects of life and career that are within our abilities to control. While we can lose our jobs, our accomplishments, skills and networks remain 100 percent ours — regardless of economic cycle or logo on our business card. But we often overlook these important assets. Below are four ideas to help you think about controlling the controllables to maximize the energy you spend in your professional life:
1. Learn how to market yourself. What are you really known for? I have worked with thousands of people between individual sessions and seminars and over 90 percent of responses to this question are "loyal," "hard-working," and "honest." While these are admirable and important traits, they clearly aren't unique responses. What makes you a stand out personally and professionally? Forget the canned 60-second introduction that sounds stale, rehearsed and fails to allow your personality to come through. Instead, let your introduction be the conversation igniter it should be. I have yet to meet an individual who doesn't seem fascinating, talented, gifted and interesting when they are being authentic about their real skills, abilities and passions. What is your brand? What truly differentiates you in the marketplace? Vow to your career today that you will eliminate vanilla descriptors of yourself and get specific about the talents you have to share with the world.
2. Discern your strengths and weaknesses and align your career strategy accordingly. Take the time to discern what skills you enjoy using daily. It easy to take your true gifts for granted because it seems so effortless to use them. It might seem unbelievable that you can really translate them into a career path and a paycheck. Also, get very specific about what you can do, but dislike or don't do as well. This sense of self will serve your career well. It will also be key to avoiding the energy-zapping cycle that happens when we find ourselves in a vicious cycle to shore up our weak areas instead of spending that same energy amplifying our strengths.
3. Don't let your job become your identity. When this happens we become even more lost than when we actually lose our jobs. If you feel like your job title and company name are your primary source of life satisfaction, then work hard to reverse this. Recognize that you have transferable skills that will apply to another company, or even another industry. Understand that jobs (even held within the same company) are stepping stones in an entire career path. The moment you can't envision life in your current role you risk becoming stale and devaluing your worth in the marketplace.
4. Shake up your routine. Learn a new skill, meet interesting people, get exposed to different ideas. I recently surprised my family and friends by joining the Chatterbox Jazz Club's bowling league. This unskilled bowler had the great fortune to meet over 50 amazing people representing so many facets of our great city ranging from the arts, not-for-profit, public and private sector while getting out of the office and my comfort zone to expand my network.
Commit to spending time each week to strategically managing all aspects of your career. This will help you control the factors within your control. Get intentional with your brand management, network growth and create a continuous development program that will benefit you personally and professionally. This is a small investment of time and energy in compared to how much you spend working. But it will provide unimaginable positive returns and transform you into an energy conservationist too.
Along with several others, I'll be offering insights on these topics as a presenter at the Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) program offered by Lacy Leadership Association (LLA). The six-course series — designed to give participants tools to take leadership to the next level — starts Sept. 18. Register at www.lacyleadership.org.

Rail freight plan set to be submitted in summer
Posted: January 07, 2013|
A WATER giant has revealed that plans for a potential mammoth rail freight interchange in South Derbyshire are set to be submitted in the 'near future'.
Severn Trent wants to build the railhead on 619 acres of land flanked by the A50 and the A38 at Egginton and Etwall Common and is now expecting to produce new plans this summer.
The plans had been shelved as a result of the current economic climate but the firm has now stated that it is committed to the plans and movement is expected later this year.
A spokesman for the firm told the Mail: "Etwall Land Ltd, a subsidiary company of Severn Trent Plc, remains committed to the development of its land holding at Etwall.
"With this in mind, we are continuing to work hard to secure the right partner that will assist us in driving this significant project through the planning process.
"With a scheme of this size and investment, it is essential that all the elements that are needed for a partnership agreement of this nature have been considered.
"However, we are very hopeful that the contract will be completed in the near future."
The aim of the proposed site is to give the area's biggest firms, such as Biffa, JCB and Toyota, improved facilities to transport goods by rail to cities such as Stoke-on-Trent and Derby.
The development, which could create 2,000 jobs, is significant enough nationally that the planning application is expected to go to the Infrastructure Planning Commission, a Government body that deals with extremely large developments.
Etwall Parish Council chairman Lisa Brown said the proposals were of a complex nature and different factors such as landscape, flooding and transport issues, as well as the environment, would need to be addressed.
She said: "My understanding is it is simply a matter of time. There will be something forthcoming."
Councillor Brown said there was a similar project to the one planned for Egginton in Doncaster, and claimed it might be useful to take it into consideration.
To give you a further idea of what it's like I would urge you to Google that Doncaster site," she said.
"It's part of the new generation of railhead distribution centres."
Various issues have been raised about the site by residents, such as where access to the site would be from and the noise impact it would have on the area.
Councillor Brown said: "We are going to inspect the A50 and the A38 because the noise is pretty bad at the moment and it could get a bit worse.
"They have to have an extensive round of public consultations to start with before they even put in an application and that's a very, very important time.
"It's really very important for residents to be involved."
She estimated that if the site was approved it would take approximately 13 months to go through.
The Mail also understands that Derbyshire Wildlife Trust have raised concerns about the site being home to several different species.

I think exotic dancer or just dancer would be the best here.
what ever happened to exotic dancer?

"Chill/Lucid" Herbal Smoking Blend
In stock and shipping same day, this is the genuine and original MasterBlend that others have attempted to copy. Make sure you buyChill/Lucid Blend from only registered dealers of SweetSmoke Herbs, or your product will be a cheap imitation, without the quality and strength of the real Chill/Lucid Blend. See the "Does Chill/Lucid Contain Nicotine" article for more on the manufacturer's website.
Smoking or inhaling the aromatic vapors produced by burning incense is a millennia-old practice. Inhaling the smoke from burning aromatic herbs is possibly as old as the capacity to control fire.
This herbal smoking blend contains a strong mixture of herbs, oils, extracts and resins. This Top Selling product comes packaged in a vinyl tobacco pouch complete with rolling papers, and is a fraction of the price of any competing herbal product of its kind. Enjoy this and its sister product, Daganda, also in eye-catching packaging, complete with hemp rolling papers.
We are so confident in this product that even if it's opened, we offer our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee within 7 days of the delivery of your order. Known as Chill Blend, Lucid Blend, and Chill /Lucid Herbal Smoking Blend, we carry the original and only genuine product.
IMPORTANT: Why the name change? - There were too many copycats and too many lawsuits trying to protect Chill Blend's name and reputation, so it's been re-formulated into an even more adventurous blend, with new vaporlock packaging that will keep your Chill/Lucid Blend as fresh as the day you purchased it for up to a year.
Ingredients include a secret blend of herbs, oils, and resins, including Mugwort, Catmint, Woodruff, Betony, Blue Lotus, Blue Lily, Calamus, Galangal, Saffron, Neel Leaves, Brahmi, Indian Sarsapilla, with aromatics of Frankincense, Myrrh, Catnip, Passion Flower, and Licorice. Also blended with a dash of aromatics of Sage, Clove, Cinnamon, Wormwood, and Blue Lotus.

My good mate BW3 posted a thought provoking piece recently on the virgin birth. As the text for the 4th Sunday of Advent comes from Matthew 1:18-25 I have been thinking over issues relating to the virgin birth. I was surprised to come across Hagner's comments in his WBC volume on Matthew. Commenting on 1:18-25 he states,
The question of whether the virgin birth itself actually happened in history is of course something the historian can say nothing about, but this does not make it a matter that rests absolutely upon faith. Matthew and Luke present it as a central part of their narratives, and this to an extent does constitute historical evidence. Where the question of faith does enter in is in one's a priori world view, which either does or does not have room for God's acts in history. If one's world view does not prohibit it, there is no compelling reason not to take the testimony of Matthew and Luke seriously on this point. And that testimony should be taken seriously for its own sake (the deity of Christ is not necessarily at stake in the issue)[1].
I agree with Hagner. Perhaps we expect far too much from our historians! It is not the historians job to make claims about theological concepts and nor should we expect them to. When someone like Wright or Hagner make such claims they are not making historical claims, they are making claims based on a presupposition they have about the use of the information before them. Of course the lines are blurry because for some even if the history points toward the virgin birth (from the gospels) because of their world view they choose not to believe it as a theological reality. The virgin birth may not make any sense historically or scientifically. But in my mind at least it does theologically! Having said that I still wonder why it is so hard to accept the historicity of the gospels, especially in terms of the miraculous….

During a distinguished investment career spanning more than 40 years, John P. Calamos, Sr.
has provided investors with innovative strategies for building and protecting wealth over
market cycles. The roots of Calamos Wealth Management trace back to the difficult markets of
the 1970s, when John developed breakthrough strategies which utilized convertible bonds to
manage risks and enhance return potential. Convertibles were little known at the time, but
John recognized the potential of these hybrid securities, which combined features of
stocks and bonds.
However, John's investment experience began far earlier. The son of a Greek immigrant,
John grew up in Chicago, where he worked in his family's grocery store. When he was in his
teens, he became interested in investing and convinced his parents to entrust him with a
portion of their hard-earned nest egg. From these early days, John understood that his
investment decisions carried with them great responsibility. He saw firsthand the effort
that went into earning this money, and knew the implications of losing it.
John's belief in the value of teamwork was solidified during his service as a
member of the U.S. Air Force where he flew 900 combat missions during the Vietnam War,
ultimately earning the rank of Major and a Distinguished Flying Cross. His early
career molded Calamos Wealth Management's belief in teamwork.
John's experience in the military also solidified his belief in being prepared and disciplined.
His philosophy is that certain risks cannot be avoided, but through preparedness and discipline,
they can be understood and managed. This philosophy has been a hallmark of our approach to help
clients build and preserve wealth over the long term.
Following his military service, John embarked on a career in investment management and research.
Guided by entrepreneurial vision, he established his own company in 1977, which grew into a
diversified global investment firm with capabilities in convertibles, equities, fixed-income
and alternatives.
In 2004, John took his firm public as Calamos Asset Management, Inc. (Nasdaq: CLMS). As chairman,
chief executive officer and co-chief investment officer, he remains fully involved in the day-to-day
and strategic operations. As a member of the Wealth Management Investment Committee, he participates
in the portfolio oversight of clients and is actively involved with ongoing communication.
John received his undergraduate degree in Economics and M.B.A. in Finance from the
Illinois Institute of Technology. A well-recognized pioneer in risk-management strategies,
he is the author of two books: Investing in Convertible Securities: Your Complete Guide to the
Risks and Convertible Securities: the Latest Instruments, Portfolio Strategies,
and Valuation Analysis Rewards, along with numerous articles in various financial
journals. He is often quoted in the press and appears on television.
John is an active philanthropist and committed to promoting education. He is a member of the Boards
of Trustees of Illinois Institute of Technology and Benedictine University and is a member of the
Board of Directors for the National Hellenic Museum in Chicago. He has been honored for his
lifetime contributions by the Hellenic Bar Association.
Our Wealth Management Investment Committee meets regularly to ensure our client's asset
allocation aligns with our analysis of the market environment, its risks and opportunities.
The result is a solution that evolves by adapting to each client's needs and the changing
investment landscape.

While Duke's performance was far from perfect, they looked much improved against Alabama in route to the title game against Arizona. I was left shocked wondering how they were able to improve their defense so significantly between the Vermont and Alabama games. Duke will always lack size but they will be able to succeed playing with the defensive intensity that they had against Alabama. It was just the start but Duke showed very promising signs on the defensive end.
I was unsure about the lineup changes before the game, starting Tyler Thornton and Josh Hairston over Rasheed Sulaimon and Amile Jefferson, but they worked to Duke's advantage during the game. They may have hurt Duke offensively, as Duke got off to a very slow start, but they helped set a much stronger tone defensively. I expect this starting lineup to stay together, especially against an explosive offensive team like Arizona.
I believe Duke's defense was helped greatly by Amile Jefferson and Josh Hairston getting extended minutes. Their increase in minutes may have come because of foul trouble to Rodney Hood but it was great to see. Duke is not as good defensively with Jabari Parker playing center and Josh Hairston played extremely well their against Alabama. I would like to see Jefferson receive more than ten minutes each game but it was a step in the right direction for Duke establishing their big men defensively.
It was very encouraging to see Duke's offense succeed with Rodney Hood playing limited minutes due to foul trouble. The only critique of their offense has been their overreliance on Rodney Hood and Jabari Parker. Parker upped his game with his fellow star on the bench but Duke also received many contributions from the rest of the team. Quinn Cook scored an impressive 17 points, although it was accompanied by just two assists and four turnovers. Matt Jones contributed his career high 13 points on just five attempts from the field. This type of balanced performance will help Duke going forward as they try to become less reliant on Parker and Hood.
The game was not completely perfect. Duke struggled to handle the press from Alabama and it helped Alabama get back in the game. Rasheed Sulaimon has not looked like the confident freshman he was last year, scoring just 16 points in Duke's last five games. Duke performed well with limited minutes from Hood but he needs to avoid foul trouble and stay on the court. Overall, it was a great performance and Duke will need to keep up their defensive pressure to win Friday against Arizona.


text: Digital Media Arts Major Major Program As with all artist training programs, courses in Digital Media Arts stress the development of technical skills in parallel with readings and experiences that focus on sharpening aesthetic awareness and critical understandings. The design of this major is interdisciplinary and the focus is on experiential learning in a reflective, critical context. Your selection of the four interconnected electives is an important part of this process. Your choices should be considered in concert with ongoing discussions with your advisor – and you will be asked to explain to a committee of faculty – the intellectual coherence in your selections once they have been finalized. A critical part of developing as an artist is a process of regular formal review of accomplished work. To accomplish this goal all majors and minors must participate in scheduled portfolio reviews. Major Requirements: Digital Media Arts To earn a degree in Digital Media Arts requires the completion of 13 courses.

Ice cream, it seems, has gone the way of cupcakes. Which went the way of fancy donuts, which went the way of bacon, which is still going the way of foraging.
Essentially, it's a trend, and if the artisanal movement has anything to say about it, it isn't going anywhere anytime soon. A new article from Slate takes a deeper look at the spiked interest in frozen cream, speculating the world's need for outlandish flavors like mushroom or peanut butter curry, and the culinary weight that olives hold in a rendition of strawberry ice cream. (The answer to the latter, as the article concludes, is exactly none.)
Writer Jennifer Reese's research included four new all ice cream cookbooks and over twenty batches of the stuff. One of her most important findings? An ice cream she calls the best she's ever had. We're not sure about olives in our dessert, but that testament might speak for itself.

Janet Fairchild and Thomas Thomas are making a stop in Dothan.
Thompson said," There's a lot of stuff to do, we're thinking about going fishing here this week."
But tourism isn't on the rise in the Circle City, even though it's a bargain for a hotel guest.
Dothan Convention & Visitors Bureau Executive Director Bob Hendrix said, "With less demand the price comes down, so that's why our rates were recorded to be one of the top cities in the southeast to have affordable rates."
Hendrix said, "We have right now an oversupply of hotel rooms, during the recession we had several hotels that were built so now it's all a matter of supply and demand and we have more supply than we have demand."
La Quinta manager Pam Garrett hopes upcoming events will spark a turn-around.
Garrett said, "I think throughout the summer we'll see an awful lot of teams you know softball and basketball."
But Dothan hotel chains aren't just fighting the bad economy. They're also competing with hotels in enterprise and Ozark.
When we're all sharing an awful lot of the pie it hurts all of us
Officials hope Dothan's nine percent sales tax and one percent lodging tax will help them get a bigger slice of the pie.
They hope they can use that money to help attract new events and tourists to the circle city.
Hendrix said, "This money we would normally not be using and a lot of people don't realize that lodging tax has built most of Westgate park and drives in all these ball tournaments and drives in new money to our city."

Vulnerability Discovered in X Font Server
Two protocol handlers give attackers the ability to inject malicious code into X Font Server (XFS). Linux systems are only vulnerable to local attacks. The X Font Server is not accessible over networks by default.
The bug (CVE-2007-4568) in the handler for QueryXBitmap and QueryXExtents protocol requests can trigger integer overflows. In both protocols this triggers a call to the "build_range()" function which expects a 32 bit integer value with the request, and calculates the dynamic memory size. The calculation can overflow causing incorrect memory allocation. This results in a heap overflow. A second vulnerability affects the "swap_char2b()". Calling the function gives attackers the ability to store an arbitrary number of values on the heap. A successful exploit would give an attacker the ability to execute arbitrary code.
Security experts with Idefense tested a Solaris system. Solaris calls XFS by default on booting, and sets up the X Server to listen on port 7100, which would thus open up a remote attack vector. Idefense discovered the vulnerability in XFS version X11R7.2-1.0.4, although earlier versions may also be affected.
The X.org-Team has fixed the issue in the new XFS 1.0.5 Version. A patch is available for for version 1.0.4 (X11R7.3).

Lamp shades are soooo much fun to make. The light effect is always a surprise, which is very exciting :) This instructable will show you how to make a cardboard lampshade with floral pattern sooo easily. It won't take more than half an hour.
So lets start!
Step 1: Materials needed
1) White cardboard,
2) Scissor and anti cutter,
3) Pencil,
4) Ruler (to measure),
5) Super glue and white glue,
6) Lighting system (bulb holder, plug, wire, light bulb),
7) Golden glitter paint and paint brush (if you want to paint the flowers).
Step 2: Getting started
The lampshade I made is arch shaped, 15 inches tall and 7 inches wide. I had to cut out a cardboard piece of 15 X 20 inches and bend 12 inches into an arch shape. Make sure to keep an inch extra while cutting the width because you'll have to glue and join the sides.
Step 3: Designing, cutting and joining
When you're done drawing the flowers, take an anti cutter and carefully cut the sides of the flowers. Don't cut out the flowers, only cut the sides, keeping them joined in the middle.
You can add more details if you want to. I added some dots by popping the cardboard.
Now, join the sides using super glue as shown in the picture.
Step 4: Base, Top and Paint
Cut out 3 arch shaped pieces (1 for the top and 2 for the base) out of cardboard and make sure to measure the size before cutting. Glue 2 arch shaped cardboard pieces together and glue the other one on top of the shade. (2 arch shaped pieces that are glued together is the base).
Now, cut out a long strip of cardboard and glue it around the base (see picture).
You can design the top as well.
I also painted the flowers with golden glitter paint.
tis lampshade is awesome !!!! excellent idea!
but doesn't hot lamp burn the paper as long as it's on??
Beautiful lampshade! I really liked the idea. Thank you for sharing ;)
I've been trying to stay away from making lamps for a while because I don't know where to put them anymore haha, but just looking at yours inspires me to make more!!! :D
But I am thinking about it, thank you for the idea! :)
I've been thinking about selling them for so long, I think I have the perfect solution now! :)

Vento Saudale
Bogor, West Java. A Dutch tourist was found dead on Monday morning in a hotel room in the West Java town of Bogor.
The cause of death was not immediately clear, but 65-year-old Bob Hartog from Amsterdam was found dead with blood oozing from his mouth in Room 301 of the Abu Pension Hotel on Jalan Raya Mayor Oking in Bogor.
Police officers also found some medication and beer cans in the room.
Bogor Police chief detective Adj. Comr. Dikdik Purwanto said a member of the hotel's cleaning staff found Hartog's body at 9:30 a.m. on Monday.
"The hotel staffer at first knocked on his door several times, but there was no answer," Dikdik said.
He added that the hotel employee became suspicious because Hartog had complained the day prior that he was feeling ill and had gone to a clinic to see a doctor.
"The victim complained about his illness to his friend Gavin Townshen, a foreign national from Britain who was staying in Room 302," Dikdik said.
The cleaner used a spare key for Hartog's room and discovered his lifeless form on the bed.
"To discover the cause of the death, we immediately took the victim's remains to Kramat Jati National Police Hospital in East Jakarta for an autopsy," Dikdik said.
He added that Hartog arrived in Indonesia with a tourist visa and checked into the Bogor hotel on Saturday.

Benefits of Lymphatic Body Brushing before a Massage
Benefits of Lymphatic Body Brushing before a Massage
Adding Lymphatic Body Brushing before a massage therapy session kick-starts the cleansing process of the Lymph System helping you feel better. The lymph system helps regulate and control illnesses in your body by removing debris or toxins. The lymph system is a very intricate series of lymph nodes, lymph ducts, lymphoid organs, and lymphatic tissues. The lymph capillaries and lymph vessels produce and transport lymph fluid or toxic fluid from tissues to your circulatory system. When the lymph system is flowing smoothly toxins will be released from your body and your overall health will be improved.
Lymphatic Body Brushing, also known as Dry Skin Brushing, is an easy technique to learn and the health benefits are spectacular. The technique begins by using a Natural Bristle Brush to lightly brush the skin beginning with the feet and then moving upwards, in the direction of the heart. (Click here for Detailed Lymphatic Body Brushing instructions.)
Benefits of Lymphatic Body Brushing for your Skin
Using Lymphatic Body Brushing on your skin, which is the largest organ in your body, provides a number of benefits to stimulate the flow of the Lymph System. The natural bristle brush exfoliates the skin, helping your body slough off the dead cells on the surface of your skin. By sloughing off the dead skin cells it greatly enhances your ability to detox and facilitate healthy circulation.
Ridding your body of all the dead cells will make your skin look revived and refreshed!
Lymphatic Body Brushing helps with Weight Loss
Using Lymphatic Body Brushing stimulates the lymph system and helps reduce the appearance of cellulite. Many believe the lumps and dimples in cellulite are toxins built up in the system. By gently stimulating the system, fluid will be released shrinking the size and appearance of cellulite.
Stress Reduction using Lymphatic Body Brushing
Beginning your massage with Lymphatic Body Brushing increases the release of the toxic fluids in your system. As the flow of the system increases your white blood cells are able to carry the stagnant fluid that may be causing fatigue. Your massage therapist will continue working on easing the stress built up in your body and you'll leave feeling refreshed and renewed.
It can be done before a massage or in the privacy of your own home. Lymphatic Body Brushing is such a simple technique that yields long-term health benefits.

Sevierville approves resale of water meters
At its meeting Monday night, the city's Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved the resale of several thousand water meters because the brass-and-copper meters contain lead.
The city will sell over 4,300 inventoried water meters, at a rate of $90 per meter, back to HD Supply Waterworks, the company that originally sold the meters to the city five years ago. The city paid $148 per meter.
"We bought these meters several years ago when we were really booming," said Steve Flynn, director of the city's water and sewer department. "These are hard to get and we had a chance to get a bunch of them. ... We had the money in the budget. We'd be in good shape if it weren't for this change."
New Environmental Protection Agency regulations require that by Jan. 4, 2014, all waterworks brass must meet the new "low-lead" requirements, even if the brass is just sitting in inventory.
"This was all brought about by the EPA and they did it very quickly," Flynn said. "Nobody was aware that it was going to happen."
Flynn believes selling back the meters at a reduced price will at least save the city some money.
"As of January, we couldn't do anything with them anyway," Flynn said. "They'd just be junk. We'd have to sell them as scrap."
The commission also approved:
- The second and third reading of the ordinance to rezone property on Snyder Road
- The second reading of the ordinances to add a restaurant privilege tax and an amusement tax
- The second reading of the ordinance to decrease the lodging tax from 3 percent to 2 percent
- The first reading of an ordinance appropriating funds for the various departments, capital projects and Public Building Authority of Sevierville for the fiscal period July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014, approving fee schedules and pay plan, and establishing a property tax rate for tax year 2013
- Annual TDOT Maintenance Contract
- Novation Agreement transferring contracts from Jordan, Jones, and Goulding, Inc., to Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc.
- Expenses in excess of $5,000 for Land Air Total Communications in the amount of $6,971.49 and MES-Carolina, Athletic House, Galls, Absolute Embroidery in the amount of $3,463.75
Also, new commissioners Robbie Fox and Jim McGill were sworn in at the beginning of Monday's meeting. They were sworn in by Tennessee Supreme Court Chief Justice Gary Wade, who served as mayor of Sevierville from 1977-'87.

LawnBelt FAQ
F.A.Q: Installing this Irrigation System
Answers and solutions on how to install your Lawn Belt Irrigation kit.
52. I need to aerate my yard, can I go deeper with Lawn-Belt? - Top
I have a friend who can aerate my yard but his equipment puts 4"-6" holes in the ground. I would like to bury my lawnbelt slightly deeper than normal to avoid damage. Any issues with trenching 6"-8" deep?
Answer: The only thing you will need to consider is the draining of the system. Make sure your heads (where U fittings are) are lower than the tubing depth in your lawn. This will allow the system to drain when you turn it off. If your lot is sloping there are no problems with your proposal. If your lot is flat
.. read on ...
If your in a warm climate where it never freezes then your ok too. Otherwise sprinkler system will not drain properly and will freeze during the cold
The U fitting depth is a fixed distance and depends on the height dimension of the sprinkler head. For example. when you attach the standard heads to the U fitting the Lawn Belt is maybe 1/4" down from the head height (meaning lawnbelt is sitting right below the sod.)
If you choose the 6-1/2" tall Rainbird Rotar ( in the store it is 3" above the LawnBelt - meaning Lawn Belt could be buried 3" or so. About 1/2 of what you need. By adding a 2-1/2" riser extension (avail in store) to the Rainbird you'll be able to bury the LawnBelt about 5".

Bad Debt Loan
Most people are faced with problems arising from bad credit rating or poor credit history. These people therefore apply for the bad debt loans. This article is detailed with adequate information on the various particulars, benefits accrued and the misfortunes that can arise from such loans. This article acts as guides to enable you make sound decisions when applying for such types of loans.
Available Options for Bad Credit History
Traditionally, there were limited options available for people with bad credit history and students. Students have insufficient credit history to enable them secure low interest paying loans. This is not the case these days; there are numerous options available in the financial market for people with bad credit history. The options are available for people who are ready to undertake decisive actions on their finances. Governments, financial institutions and other private organizations are offering credit facilities to people with poor credit history referred to as bad debt loans.
Types of Debt Loans Available
Generally, there are two types of bad credit loan offered as a personal loan and they include the following:
- Unsecured debt consolidation loan.
- Secured debt consolidation loan
It is important to note that these types of loans are easier to acquire since your assets such as a car or a home are used as collateral by your financial institution. The security is quite important as it can be used to bargain for reduced interest rates. Best debt consolidation loan should be repaid within 5 to 25 years.
This may sound rare, but people who have a poor credit history can acquire unsecured consolidation loans. Unlike, the secured debt consolidation loans they carry high interest rates. If one acquires this type of loan he or she is required to repay the full amount plus the interest within 1 to 10 years.
Other Options
If you need some debt help or debt relief, you can consider getting some assistance from the debt consolidation companies. It is important to note that debt consolidation companies have close working and monitoring relationship with many financial institutions. If you want to engage these companies for debt settlement or for student loan debt, they talk with your credit card company or your bank on your behalf. They are able to negotiate for lower interest rates. They can also design for you a flexible payment method with a fixed amount of payment every month.
As we all know there are cautions one should be aware when dealing with financial institutions to acquire loans from them. One of the most important factors you should take into account is the authenticity of a debt consolidation company. Adequate investigation is needed before disclosing your financial information and condition to them. You are likely to be charged a nominal amount of money needed to consolidate your debts. The most important aspect in this case is to ensure that your debt is in your control.
It is necessary for one to gather information before making a decision for the bad debt loan. The loans are nowadays readily available online and with tools like debt loan calculator you can determine amount of fixed payments you should make at the end of the month.

Waterproofed and comfortable
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I got these for the wet terrain of the Adirondacks and just used them for a 3 days backpacking trip with daily rain. My feet stayed dry the entire time. They are light and the boot style keeps the dirt out. No blisters either. I owned the shoe version in the past and I am really glad I went back with this one. My only complaint is that I generally wear 10, but they are a bit big. I will probably by 1/2 size smaller next time.
