Did you ever imagine that you would be in kneeling before a child, picking bugs out of hair? I can see someone asking you to do this a few years ago and picture you freaking out and making someone else do it. But look at you now! You are awesome!

The construction team worked hard to continue building the scaffolding and they even began laying some of the steel for the second floor supports. It is hard to fully explain the process currently, even I don't totally understand why they are doing the things they do. But we have had a structural engineer approve the contractors plans so I trust him one hundred percent.
The children and I hung out for most the day. I got to the site around 9 am and most of them were still at home, but I took the few who were at the site already to get some bread for breakfast in the morning. The morning went by quickly and the afternoon flew by as well. In the afternoon I had to run to the hardware store to buy some wire, but other than that I just hung around the site observing the project
I bought bread and homemade peanut butter for the children after lunch, and they all thoroughly enjoyed their little sandwich slices. :)
May Joy one of the sisters of a sponsored child came and sat down with me in the afternoon and I noticed she was scratching her head quite a bit. After one peek at her hair I knew she had lice, and quite severe. I spent about 30 minutes picking out eggs and found a few live bugs as well. I checked some of the other girls hair and found three of them had lice all together. I spoke with the sponsorship coordinators this afternoon and I am going to bring them some lice shampoo tomorrow and wash their hair for them thoroughly. I am going to try my best to help them get rid of it from their homes so they don't get it again. However, May Joy informed me that her mother is gone to Tacloban until Saturday, which means her and her older sister are caring for their 4 younger brothers by themselves for the week. I offered to stay overnight Tuesday night, but that was before I found the lice
Overall I had a really nice day in Cangumbang, I didn't even realize it was past 5 pm until I saw all the workers packing up their things. It is nice to not feel so drained after a day outside at the site.

I slid my dick in her pussy to use her female moisture as lube. I thrust in hard, she squealed, "Oh My, Rannndyy. You are larger than your father. Fuck me! ! I fucked her wet cunt with my thumb in her butt a few minutes & when she was close to orgasm I withdrew, moved up ah couple inches & "WOW!" She screamed. "My Sweetie. Do My Butt Hard. Fuck My Ass Randyyyy, I'm cumin' OH FUCK, I'M GONNA CUM...
Is it Or Is it not
Is it Or Is it not incest to have sex with your stepmother after your father had passed away
This is however is very true & how this came down to reality. I was in my last year of college when this happened. I received a frantic call from my step-mom telling me that she had taken my dad to hospital for an apparent heart attack.
I flew home the next day to find Dad's wife sitting in the waiting room for some word from his doctors. Just then (My Father's) doctors came out and told Maggie that dad's conduction was grave & he wasn't going to make it. He said there was just too much damage done by the attack. Your father will not make the night.
"Can I see him doc I asked. Are you his son, Randy He said. "Yes I am. I replied. "Yes go ahead, he's been asking for you"
I walked in his room, Dad looked at me with a painful sigh, trying to smile "Randy, Son listen to me I am not going home. I am dieing." I tried to speak. He said, Listen, Randy I am not going to get out of here alive. Please promise me you'll take care of Maggie! That I know you will. He winked at me. She is going to need you now, more then ever. With that, my dad closed his eyes & died in my arms. I didn't know how to tell my step-mom.
When I walked out to the hallway, Maggie knew he was gone. "Oh Tim, I loved him so!" I noticed crocodile tears welling up. She hugged tightly; I thought her hug was more like lovers than step mom & stepson. She asked me for help with the arrangements. "Sure mom, shall we go to the house and make some calls" I'll call a good friend of mine; he'll know what to do. I said.
Maggie started crying uncontrollably. "Mom, you better come with me. I'll come back to get your car" As we walked she put her arm around my waist. She leaned her head against my shoulder. "Randy" she said. "I'm so glad your here to help me through this. I love you"
"Mom I love you also. You made dad happy. Dad talked about you every time we were together.
I drove her home, made some calls to get preparations under way. Maggie arranged for a beautiful funeral. A couple days after dad's services I called mom at home and said, "Mom I better get back to school before my absence effects my grades"
"OK Randy, but can you stop by for ah while" Yeah sure. I'll be over in a little while I replied.
An hour later I pulled up into dad's drive way. I walked in just like I owned the house. "Mom, Maggie" I called out.
She came out of the bathroom wearing an opened sheer pale blue bed jacket. The front edges flapped in the breeze as she walked. "Mom, what hell are you doing" I asked. "Randy, I wanted to know if you think I'm still pretty. You have never seen me naked. Should I trim my pubic hair closer Are my tits standing up My nipples erect I can see that you are, erect that is" Maggie, yes you still attractive, but why are you doing this
My mom, step-mom dropped to her knees in front of me. She smiled up at me while she lowered my zipper. "What do we have here Randy Did I do this She pulled out my hard dick & kissed the head, slowly sucked me down her throat. "Oh Maggie, that is so nice, what you're doing to me. Why I asked. Why are you doing this I sighed "Oh Yeah Maggie! Suck it. Suck my dick" She sensed that I was enjoying her treatment. Maggie said, "Pull my hair, force my lips around this pretty cock. Make me swallow you whole! You wanna cum in my neck" She asked.
Oh my yes, I said, and that isn't all. She got up and led me the basement. Once down there, she went into a room that was my old bedroom. She turned on a dim light in the corner.
Damn Maggie what is this "Your father made this room for us, it's our den of iniquity. Pretty cool huh"
There was a Sexual Torture Rack, Chains & shackles a lot of leather and a huge bed. I didn't know about this. When did you do all this
"Daddy did this about ah year ago. All of our swinging friends have rooms like this. What do you think Randy"
Wow! How long have you & dad been swingers I had never known this
She grabbed my hard cock and walked over and shoved me down to the bed. She didn't hesitate one bit. She hovered over me & then lowered down over my cock with her trimmed pussy. She was so wet & she slid down all he way to my balls with ease. She began fucking me slow and sensual. Slowly increasing her movement, both up/down. Side to side & back and forth. Maggie was intended on fucking me. I started thrusting back against her as she rode me.
My 7+ inches was riding her clit with each stroke. I was getting close to busting ah nut. Maggie swallowed me to my balls; I felt her swallowing my cock. "Maggie, MOM, I'M CUMMING. OH GAWD. I spurted time after time until I was shot. Maggie kept milking my dick with her throat until I was dry. One of the best BJ's to date. Maggie did you suck off my dad that way
"Yes Randy I sure did, Do you like to fuck butt I love it up the butt. It makes me fuck wildly" She then backed off my dick while speaking. Is that pretty dick up for another round" She started stroking me. She turned around with her ass towards me. Maggie wiggled her hips as inviting me into her booty.
My dick took one look at her hinny and stood out straight & hard. Maggie said, "Take me Randy. Take my butt, Fuck my ass! I love it hard & I see that you are hard. Do me sweetie"
I slid my dick in her pussy to use her female moisture as lube. I thrust in hard, she squealed, "Oh My, Rannndyy. You are larger than your father. Fuck me! ! I fucked her wet cunt with my thumb in her butt a few minutes & when she was close to orgasm I withdrew, moved up ah couple inches & "WOW!" She screamed. "My Sweetie. Do My Butt Hard. Fuck My Ass Randyyyy, I'm cumin' OH FUCK, I'M GONNA CUM. Faster, FASTER & HARD" I pumped her as long as I could without Cumming myself. "Randy, RANDY CUM DEEP IN MY ASS, I YOU LOVE SO! Now Go DEEP AND CUM"
Just hearing her naughty words & pure lust in her eyes was more than my balls would allow. "Maggie here it comes" I had increase depth to stay in rhythm with her. The last of the knots in my nuts I spewed my hot cum deep in her ass. I spread her ass cheeks apart to get in a little bit further. The tension in my nuts subsided ah little. I wanted to save the last few spurts for her pussy. I jammed her pussy hard. She had another toe curling orgasm as I emptied my balls against her cervix. We both climaxed together.
That encounter made a special bond between made us even stronger. Maggie & I both share years with dad, in different ways of course, but her & I have had many sessions since my dad passed away. I realized why he winked at me just before dad died & what it meant...We have had with her swinging group. Thanks Dad!

blue is absolutely right.Originally Posted by BlueChicken
i don't care when you get the allotted set of blocks done.
to be entered in the fabric give aways just have all your pics up by that very last work day for the period.
for example: the last work day of this first 6 week period is February 14th 2010.
now with that said, i'm a firm believer in trying 3 times and then just excepting it and moving on.
we have 225 blocks to make and you just can't stress over every little thing.
we have a built in "week off" every 6 weeks. the purpose of this time was for people to go back and fix a block that they don't like, to work on another project, or to just enjoy some time away from sewing.
so, try 3 times, if you still don't like it set it aside and you can come back to it on february 15th 2010 - if it still bothers you so much.

Barclays Hires No. 1 Japan Equity Strategist Hajime Kitano
Barclays Plc (BARC) hired former Morgan Stanley (MS) Japan equity strategist Hajime Kitano to bolster research in the world's best-performing major stock market.
Kitano joined the U.K. bank in Tokyo today, Kazutoshi Ohkubo, head of equities at Barclays Securities Japan Ltd., said in a phone interview. Kitano, who left Morgan Stanley in August after about three months, was rated No. 1 equity strategist in Japan this year by Institutional Investor magazine.
Barclays plans to hire about eight people for Japan equities by the end of the year to boost sales and trading operations, Ohkubo said in July. The London-based bank joins Bank of America Corp. and UBS AG in bolstering Japan equity staff after Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's stimulus efforts drove the benchmark Topix Index (TPX)'s 30 percent gain this year.
"We've been expanding equity research in Japan with this stocks rally," Ohkubo said. "There should be a multiplier effect having both talented analysts and a strategist to meet strong demand from our customers."
Before his brief stint at Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities Co., Kitano spent seven years at JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) in Japan from 2006, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
His appointment fills a year-old vacancy at Barclays that was left after strategist Fumiyuki Takahashi's departure, Ohkubo said. Barclays also hired former Deutsche Bank AG banker Jiro Mikami as a director of Japanese equity derivative products in July, according to Ohkubo.
Job Cuts
The bank's Tokyo hiring comes even as it executes plans announced in February to eliminate 3,700 jobs worldwide this year to reduce costs.
The Topix rose 1.1 percent at the close of trading in Tokyo today. The gauge has climbed this year as Abe pushes to revive the world's third-largest economy with fiscal spending and monetary easing.
Separately today, JPMorgan Chase & Co. said it named Douglas Howland to head equity distribution for Japan, a new post at its brokerage unit in the country. Howland previously led capital markets operations in Japan, the New York-based bank said in an e-mailed statement.
UBS, Switzerland's biggest bank, said in July it hired seven Japan equity sales and trading staff. Bank of America's Merrill Lynch unit recruited six people for Japan equities, the U.S. Bank said in a memo in June.

What Is a Total Lunar Eclipse?
Next Total Lunar Eclipse: Wed, Jan 31, 2018 … See animation
Next Eclipse: Partial Lunar Eclipse – Mon, Aug 7, 2017 … See animation
A Total Lunar Eclipse can get a deep red glow and is sometimes called a Blood Moon.
The Moon does not have its own light, but shines because its surface reflects the Sun's rays.
Eclipses of the Moon happen at Full Moon, when the Sun, Earth and Moon are aligned to form an exact or an almost straight line. The astronomical term for this type of alignement is syzygy, which comes from the Greek word for being paired together.
Earth Blocks the Sunlight
During a Total Lunar Eclipse, the Sun, Earth and the Moon form a straight line. Earth blocks any direct sunlight from reaching the Moon. The Sun is behind Earth, so the Sun's light casts Earth's shadow on the Moon. This shadow covers the entire Moon and causes a Total Lunar Eclipse.
Earth's 3 Shadows
Earth's shadow can be divided into 3 parts:
- Umbra - darker, central part.
- Penumbra - the outer part.
- Antumbra - a partly shaded area beyond the umbra.
Sun, Earth and Moon Aligned
For a lunar eclipse to occur, the Sun, Earth and Moon must be roughly aligned in a straight line. If the Sun, Earth and Moon do not align, Earth cannot cast a shadow on the Moon's surface and an eclipse cannot happen.
When the Sun, Earth and Moon are not perfectly aligned, only the outer part of Earth's shadow covers the Moon. Such an eclipse is called a penumbral lunar eclipse. In a Total Lunar Eclipse, Earth's umbra completely covers the Moon.
Earth's umbra is about 870,000 miles (1.4 million km) wide.
Upcoming 5 Total Lunar Eclipses
|Path of the Eclipse
|Jan 31, 2018
|Jul 27 / Jul 28, 2018
|Jan 20 / Jan 21, 2019
|May 26, 2021
|May 15 / May 16, 2022
Only at Full Moon
Total Lunar Eclipses happen only when:
- The Sun, Earth and Moon are in a straight line.
- There is a Full Moon.
Why don't we see a lunar eclipse every month if a Full Moon is needed for a Total Lunar Eclipse?
This is because the plane of the Moon's orbital path around Earth is inclined at an angle of 5° to Earth's orbital plane, also known as the ecliptic, around the Sun. The points where the 2 orbital planes meet are called lunar nodes. Eclipses can only take place near the lunar nodes and lunar eclipses occur when a Full Moon happens near a lunar node.
The Moon Looks Red
Even though Earth completely blocks sunlight from directly reaching the surface of the Moon, the Moon is still visible to the naked eye during a Total Lunar Eclipse. This is because Earth's atmosphere refracts sunlight and indirectly lights up the Moon's surface.
Earth's atmosphere removes or blocks parts of the sunlight's spectrum leaving only the longer wavelengths. Because of this, a totally eclipsed Moon usually looks red.
Different Colored Eclipses
A lunar eclipse can also be yellow, orange, or brown in color. This is because different types of dust particles and clouds in Earth's atmosphere allow different wavelengths to reach the surface of the Moon.
7 Stages of the Eclipse
A Total Lunar Eclipse usually happens within a few hours. Totality can range anywhere from a few seconds to about 100 minutes. The July 26, 1953 Total Lunar Eclipse had one of the longest periods of totality in the 20th century - 100 minutes and 43 seconds.
There are 7 stages of a Total Lunar Eclipse:
- Penumbral eclipse begins: This begins when the penumbral part of Earth's shadow starts moving over the Moon. This phase is not easily seen by the naked eye.
- Partial eclipse begins: Earth's umbra starts covering the Moon, making the eclipse more visible.
- Total eclipse begins: Earth's umbra completely covers the Moon and the Moon is red, brown or yellow in color.
- Maximum eclipse: This is the middle of the total eclipse.
- Total eclipse ends: At this stage, Earth's umbra starts moving away from the Moon's surface.
- Partial eclipse ends: Earth's umbra completely leaves the Moon's surface.
- Penumbral eclipse ends: At this point the eclipse ends and Earth's shadow completely moves away from the Moon.
Where Can I See a Total Lunar Eclipse?
Everyone on the night side of Earth can see a total eclipse of the Moon. Because of this, most people have higher chances of seeing a Total Lunar Eclipse than a total solar eclipse, even though both occur in similar intervals.
How Often do They Happen?
About 35% of all lunar eclipses in a calendar year are Total Lunar Eclipses. On average, a Total Lunar Eclipse can be seen from any given location every 2.5 years.
Tetrads and Blood Moons
A series of 4 consecutive Total Lunar Eclipses with no partial or penumbral lunar eclipses in between is called a lunar tetrad.
In recent years, eclipses in a lunar tetrad are popularly called Blood Moons. This term has no technical or astronomical basis and it is thought that it has Biblical origins.
No Special Equipment Needed
Unlike solar eclipses, observing a Total Lunar Eclipse does not require any special equipment. Lunar eclipses are safe to see with the naked and unaided eye.

Mobile students in liquid modernity : negotiating the politics of transnational identities
Singh, Parlo & Doherty, Catherine A. (2008) Mobile students in liquid modernity : negotiating the politics of transnational identities. In Dolby, Nadine & Rizvi, Fazal (Eds.) Youth moves: Identities and education in global perspective. Taylor & Francis, New York, pp. 115-130.
Administrators only | Request a copy from author
There appear to be two orthodox views of Asian cultural identity in these new times of liquid modernity (Bauman, 2000). One view holds that the new Asian middle classes are 'superficially Western, essentially Oriental', uniform, unchanging, communitarian, family-oriented , tradition-bound and harmonious in contrast to the individualist, conflict-ridden, and constantly evolving Western cultures (Pinches, 1999, p. 1). The other view suggests that the new Asian middle classes are 'global yuppies' (Pinches, 1999, p. 28) seduced by 'a world of consumerism dominated by the lifestyle images of the affluent West' (Pinches, 1999, p. 2). In this paper, we illustrate then challenge these two constructions of Oriental essentialism and Western universalism, 'one rooted in local traditions of social and economic order, the other in the free-flowing global commodity market' (Pinches, 1999, p. 9). Specifically, we analyze interview data collected from Asian international students and their preparatory program teachers at an Australian university. We adopt a social relational analysis to this interview data by drawing on the work of theorists of cultural globalization (Bauman, Beck, Urry), transnational identities (Brah, Nonini, Ong), and middle class educational strategies (Ball, Pinches). In analyzing the interview scripts, we are interested in firstly, how students construct their identities-in-the-making, secondly how they negotiate their positioning by the subjectivities offered in their particular educational setting, and finally, how the teachers' discursive frames appraise the students' motives. We suggest that nostalgic discourses of cultural difference (with traces of orientalism) may be produced by Australian TESOL teachers to legitimate their knowledge position in the international higher education sector. Such discourses are also shown to be strategically deployed by Asian international students as cultural markers of distinctive modernity - Asian versus Western modernity. At the same time, however, students disrupt and contest these discourses through the strategic deployment of auto-ethnographic narratives.

I want you to know it was the best time of my life. The best and most rewarding college experience I have ever had. I will never forget those memories and friends I have made during both the fall and spring semester during my time down at Texas State. I will be returning to Texas soon for a Master's program. Thank you so much for this awesome experience. It is one that all college students should take advantage of during their college career. Wow. What a great opportunity to travel to another school / state and meet some amazing people, network, and make some awesome memories.
Moving down to San Marcos, Texas, not knowing a soul ended up being the most amazing experience ever!! My first semester I joined the Exercise Sport Science Club (ESS club), went to a Convention in Corpus Christi, networked, became close to some of my professors who have now helped me in getting an internship interview in Houston, TX! Some of my best of friends I met in the ESS club. San Marcos, Texas State campus is absolutely Beautiful....in the Hill Country. I would love to attend Texas State again....soon hopefully. :) Thanks so much again for helping me get into Texas State! - Mary Kate McKee

My mother died in 1991 after a year-long struggle with cancer.
My parents were in their 70s when they moved into a small house they built on our farm so they could be close to my wife Patience and me. Since I was an only child we thought it would be good to have them nearby, not knowing at the time just how good that would prove to be.
My wife and I were both working part-time. Patience was a recovery room nurse, and I was a doctor in an urgent care center. So when my mother's illness progressed to the point where she needed more attention, we were there to provide it. In addition, my daughter Beth, a year out of college and unsure of her direction in life, was living with them and was also available to help.
I was an internist with over 20 years of experience in primary care and emergency medicine. What I knew about death and dying came from reading Kubler-Ross's book, Death and Dying, and from my practice of medicine.
During my internship and residency, death was a frequent, but rather detached experience. There was little personal attachment to patients who came in and out of our lives quickly. Later, in my own practice, death was more personal but still remained within the boundaries of a professional experience. During my years working in the emergency room, death was encountered with rapidity and detachment, often totally unanticipated.
My mother was about to change that.
In spite of several hospitalizations, my parents managed to maintain some semblance of normalcy in the early stages of the disease. But as the disease progressed and her condition deteriorated, Patience, Beth, and I became more involved in her day-to-day care. Eventually hospice was called in.
She never complained, even as her pain grew worse and she became more dependent on others to manage the routines of daily living. In the weeks prior to her death, we began taking turns sleeping in the bed next to her because of increasing mental confusion and unexpected needs. She began to withdraw from us, not speaking, and often calling out to her beloved Grace, a deceased older sister who was more like a mother to her during her childhood. When my mother died, my father, Patience, and I were at her bedside holding her hands.
The circumstances of her last few hours were truly remarkable. Patience was with her that morning, while I left to deliver some paintings to a gallery about 20 miles away. As soon as I arrived Patience called and said I should return home NOW!
My mother was struggling, and Patience recognized that she was agitated at my absence. She assured her I would be there shortly, and when I arrived her agitation disappeared and she "settled down" into her mute state with labored respirations. Patience and my father were on one side of her bed holding her hand, and I was on the other side.
We knew it was time, and apparently so did mom. After perhaps 30 minutes, this frail woman who had been soundless and immobile for days suddenly raised her upper body off of the bed and squeezed our hands as she was bearing down, emitting a faint grunt, as if she were pushing herself, and then peacefully fell back onto the bed.
She waited for me to come home before she died. I will never forget the willfulness of her last act.
The relief I felt from her death was overshadowed by the sadness of our loss. We were all physically and emotionally exhausted from the ordeal. But in the days that followed I realized how fortunate we were to be able to be by her side through all of the stages of her dying.
She was not alone; we had the opportunity to tell her all of the things we wanted to say, especially how much we loved her. In her suffering, she gave us that gift, to be a part of her illness and her death. We were a family sharing an intimate and inevitable experience with someone we loved. I cherish every moment of those final weeks, as well as the final moment itself.
My mother taught me everything I needed to know about death and dying, and how it affects both the patient and the family. That knowledge helped me serve my terminally ill patients when I decided to return to a fulltime general medical practice one year later.
I learned how incredibly important it is for the patient to be at home, surrounded by family and friends when they die, and I learned that it is imperative that the physician caring for a terminal or near-terminal patient also consider the family within the scope of his or her care. The death of my mother, and others like her was not a tragedy to be avoided. It was sadness to be embraced.
There was one final gift - one I cherish every day of my life.
Beth, who had been looking for her place in life since she completed college almost two years earlier, turned to Patience and me at the dinner table some months later and said she knew what she wanted to do.
We both looked at her in anticipation of this announcement, and when she said she wanted to go to medical school, I could not believe my ears! Even now, as I recall that moment, my eyes get moist. Beth is now practicing internal medicine in Middletown, Delaware, and she is a wonderful, caring physician.

Date of Stay: August, 2013
Clean & convenient-- yes, but nothing to do. We spent two nights in middle August with two children (10 & 8). No activities at all. There is a pool, but it is freezing - even in middle August? It is small and is in desperate need of a heater. Seems to clear out during the day. Adults will enjoy the campground if they want quiet, but families will struggle to keep their children entertained. We will not be back.
Date of Stay: August, 2013
We had a wonderful August weekend at Seaport RV! The new owners are wonderful and are working hard to create a fabulous campground. Don't consider any of the reviews for the previous owners; it is completely different now. Everything looks brand new. Beautiful landscaping; everything is very clean. The bathrooms are clean and have great showers. Everyone that works there is pleasant and accommodating. They are working on the pool - which will be heated; they expect to have it ready before the end of the season. There was not a shortage of things for the kids to do. Bounce house, waterslides, Disco party, games, crafts--they were thrilled. This is a smaller campground which we loved. Active enough for the kids, but quiet enough for Mommy & Daddy. Will visit again often. Will also give a perfect 10 when the pool is ready.

After letting him know that I did not have any money to send him he got very upset and started threaghting to call my work and block all the lines to get me gired. They are very rude people and very disrespectful. I asked for proof any paper to show that I do owe this money and he said he couldnt. Itold him to email or mail it to me. He hung up on me. Just recently after a week of calling the facility and blocking all the lines I called them and was stranfer to so call superviser Gloria. She informed me that I had a balance of 1239.00. The only way for the calls to stop is if I pay. I adked again for proof and she said she couldnt. She continue to threaghten me with blocking my social security number. To put a red fkag on it. And to let my employer know. From the first call to the second one the balance has double. I need help getting them to stop calling the facility. Please help.

Ways to stop them from calling
SUBMITTED: Sunday, February 23, 2014POSTED: Sunday, February 23, 2014
Tell them you know they are SCAMS and threaten to sent the FBI with large pieces of bacon after them. If not get a whistle and every time they all blow that sucker! They are just scumbag scammers looking for free money - there is no loan.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#2 Consumer Comment
This is a common scam
SUBMITTED: Sunday, February 23, 2014POSTED: Sunday, February 23, 2014
Don't send them any money at all. It is a common scam. These people can't "put a block" on your social security number or "put a red flag" on it. They are telling you anything to scare you into sending them money.
Go to the FTC(dot)gov website and read up on these type of scams. Make sure that you do not send them any funds at all or you will continue to be on their list of people to call. The next time Cash Advance calls you, tell them you know it is a scam and hang up. They are powerless to do anything to you. Right now they are hasseling you because they think you believe their claims.
Read all the posts here about Cash Advance USA and you will see that this scam has been around for a long time. Do your homework so you know what to do the next time they call. If you never send them money and hang up on them right away, they will move on to another target. Good Luck.

Advisement Number - This is a system generated password that each student must get from his/her advisor in order to access the online enrollment system. The advisement number changes each semester. Each advisor determines whether to provide this number to an advisee or to enter the enrollment him/herself.
Degree Audit - Available in GUS, this is an unofficial list of the coursework and degree requirements to be completed.
Drop/Add - Changes to a student's schedule of classes can be done in three ways: 1) by the student who is in possession of a valid advisement number, 2) by the academic advisor, or 3) by the Registrar's office. The student and the advisor will lose this capability one week after the beginning of the semester; at that point all add/drops must be processed through the Registrar's office.
Early Enrollment (pre-enrollment) - This is the enrollment period for currently enrolled PSU students who are planning to continue their enrollment the next semester. Early enrollment for the fall semester is held in April and for the spring semester in November.
Gorilla User System (GUS) - This is the portal through which enrollment is completed. During the actual real time online enrollment, the system will check for:
- Pre-requisite and co-requisite requirements
- Time conflicts
- Whether a course is required for the degree
Official Degree Audit - This is the degree audit that students should request after hours passed plus current enrollment total 85 or more credit hours. Completed by the degree checking within the Registrar's office, the official degree audit lists the classes and graduation requirements the student must complete to receive the specified degree. The official audit is tied to a specific catalog; changes in the catalog year may change requirements.
Open Enrollment - This is the time from immediately after Transfer student enrollment until the end of the enrollment period. Enrollment is available during this time; however, departmental advisors are not always available. (Students needing assistance who are unable to contact their academic advisor are encouraged to contact the First Year Programs Office in 213 Russ Hall or at 235-4265). NOTE: During the three week time period immediately preceding the start of the fall semester, academic advisors are available in the Admission Office to enroll any major.
Transfer Enrollment - Two days in November and April following Early Enrollment during which transfer students are given their first opportunity to enroll.

A common New Year's is to get thin followed by staying thin. The motivation to get thin can be traced back to two things: some people might associate looking good and feeling good with being skinny, while a large majority associate lower body weight with greater health. But being thin does not always guarantee better health. Several research studies have proven that there is a lot more that goes into overall health and fitness than just being thin. According to Dr.Oz Garcia, Ph.D, acclaimed nutritionist, overall good health has more to do with gender and genetic factors than with your total body weight. This implies that being thin is not the answer to all your health problems; there's a whole lot more that goes on inside your body that is a more accurate determinant of the status of your health.
Are You Skinny Fat?
According to a study conducted and published by European and U.S researchers in the European Heart Journal, overweight individuals were found to be at no greater risk of developing heart disease or cancer or dying from either illness, than individuals who were thin as long as the overweight individuals were metabolically fit. This concept leads us to the medical term 'Metabolically Obese Normal Weight' or 'Normal Weight Obesity', or the skinny fat issue. Mark Hyman, M.D, a practicing physician explains that 'Metabolically Obese Normal Weight' is a term used for thin individuals who have too much fat (especially belly fat), and too little muscle development.
A shocking study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, about 1 in every 4 skinny individuals is metabolically obese, and shows signs of suffering from pre-diabetes. Unfortunately, a skinny fat individual has twice the risk of dying if diagnosed with diabetes than an overweight diabetic patient. This additional risk is linked to the lack of muscle mass, which seems to play a role in protecting the body of the diabetic patient for a longer duration of time.
Experts at Mayo Clinic conducted extensive research on the phenomenon of being 'metabolically fat' or 'thin yet unhealthy' and discovered that your health status depends not only on how much of your body is composed of fat, but also on where it is deposited within the body. Some people possess a genetic variant that prevents fat from accumulating beneath the skin thus leading to their lean, thin body shape. However, fat deposition then occurs elsewhere such as around the internal organs and in the belly which disrupts the normal, healthy functioning of the body.
According to Mayo Clinic, skinny fat people are at the same risk of developing heart diseases and other chronic illness as overweight or obese individuals.
How to Deal With the Skinny Fat Issue
According to research, a substantial number of individuals with a normal body weight fall under the skinny fat category. How can you find out whether you are at risk of, or are suffering from Normal Weight Obesity?
- If you have a family history of Type 2 diabetes or heart disease, and if you are thin but sport a small pot belly, consult your doctor about getting the following essential tests done: fasting blood sugar or glucose, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol levels, and blood pressure.
- Consult your doctor about getting the following special tests done. Your doctor might not suggest these tests on his or her own so be sure to bring them up during your appointment: insulin response test, NMR lipid particle test.
