"Despicable and predatory" loan sharks operating in Wales are charging vulnerable victims interest of up to 131,000% APR, a team of investigators responsible for clamping down on rogue money lenders has revealed.
Wales' Illegal Money Lending Unit has pinpointed £2.3m of illegal debt since it was set up five years ago – but those in charge have warned that unscrupulous loan sharks still blight many Welsh communities.
One victim told how she had been left suicidal after being forced to pay back thousands – for borrowing just £250.
WIMLU is responsible for investigating and prosecuting loan sharks, as well as supporting victims when their debts become too much.
Set up in November 2007 from its base with Cardiff Council, in the last five years the unit has identified 161 illegal money lenders in Wales with more than 1,800 victims.
Investigators have managed to get £923,280 of debt written off, and brought court proceedings against 33 loans sharks.
But despite their hard work, it is thought these figures are just the tip of the iceberg of the full extent of the problem in Wales.
They often prey on the most vulnerable, and as the festive season gets under way, WIMLU – whose staff can not be identified for their own safety – has warned people to be on their guard against loan sharks.
WIMLU's investigations manager said: "Our message is do not go to a loan shark.
"You may feel that this person is your friend, or the easiest solution to funding your gifts and Christmas, but in the long run it turns out to be the worst thing you could do.
"If you have already done it, you have not done anything wrong. We are here to help and support you as best we can, and get you out of the situation you have found yourself in."
An illegal money lender, or loan shark, is anyone who runs a money lending business without a licence from the Office of Fair Trading, and lending money without a licence is a crime.
WIMLU's officers described how lenders often come across as friendly at first, offering to lend cash to help pay utility bills, rent, buy food, or pay off other debts.
But the lender will usually offer little or no paperwork to support the loan – or if they do they may fill it in for their unsuspecting victims, or refuse to provide copies.
Once the repayments begin, it is common for loan sharks not to tell their victims the interest rate, when the payments will end, or even how much they still owe.
This has led to the unit discovering some staggering rates of interest on loans.
A typical case saw one victim borrow £350 from a loan shark.
She repaid £30 a week for a year, making a total repayment of £1,560 and an APR of 5682.8%.
The highest rate ever seen in Wales was a massive 131,000% APR.
Inevitably, loan shark victims struggle to keep up with their repayments and the lender's initially friendly manner turns nasty.
Some lenders have been known take a victim's passport, driving licence, benefits and bank cards as security for the loan, and many begin to make their victim's feel threatened or intimidated. Some even become violent towards their victims, leaving them terrified.
WIMLU'S investigations manager said: "Loan sharks are not a community service – they are a blight on our communities. They operate using the most despicable methods and have a hugely detrimental effect on the quality of life for victims. One judge described the offence of loans sharking as 'murder of the soul' which summarises the misery they can cause."
One South Wales victim described the horrendous experience she went through after borrowing £250 from her landlord for a deposit on a one-bedroom flat in May 2008.
Charlotte Brown*, a 48-year-old mother-of-eight, is still unsure exactly how much she paid back, but believes she paid her loan shark hundreds more than she owed, following constant threats and intimidation, and built up an outstanding debt that the shark put at £2,000.
The situation left her feeling so depressed, that at one point she even considered taking her own life.
She described how she was initially told to pay back the £250 loan at a rate of £20 every fortnight, while her weekly rent was to be her housing benefit, plus another £20 on top.
But within a few weeks, the lender told Charlotte that the deposit on her flat had increased by another £150.
She said: "The amount he asked for seemed to change every week.
"By September that year, I thought I had paid the bond off but the lender tried to get more off me. By now he was adding amounts which he said were rent arrears, but I did not owe any rent arrears.
"He was very controlling in his way of dealing with tenants, and would know the day my [housing] benefit was due and insist that it was paid [to him] straight away, even to the point where he would take me to a cash checking service to cash my Giro just so I could pay him.
"That, together with what he wanted in rent made me very short each week with virtually no money to live on. He would even intercept the postman and get the Giros for me and other people, then take us in a mini bus to cash them."
Charlotte said that at one point, she was contacted by her local housing benefit office to say the landlord had told them she could not read or write, and requested that the housing benefit be paid directly to him.
This request was refused.
At the beginning of October 2008 – by which time it is thought Charlotte had paid out more than £600 – Charlotte was asked to leave her flat by her landlord, but with no money left she had no where to go, and hit rock bottom.
"At one point I had no idea what to do, and I was so scared, I even thought about taking my own life," she said.
Luckily, Charlotte contacted her local council, who rehoused her, and put her in touch with WIMLU.
Her debts were written off, and thanks to a WIMLUS investigation, Charlotte's lender was eventually convicted of illegal money lending and benefit fraud, and served prison time.
Charlotte never got her deposit back, and it has taken her a long time to regain her confidence and rebuild her life, but she said she hoped that by telling her story other people would go to WIMLU for help.
She said: "Just ask for help. You have not done anything wrong, and you don't have to deal with it on your own."

Next page: Everything you need to know to protect yourself from loan sharks
WIMLU has a dedicated hotline number (0300 123 3311) that is answered 24 hours a day for anyone who is concerned about a loan they have taken out, and all information you give to the investigators is confidential.
WIMLU'S investigations manager said: "You will come through to a trained officer and they will provide you with support and an immediate response to your problem. If you're being threatened, we will find a way to get you out of the situation as quickly as possible and start an investigation."
You should not have to repay any loan from an illegal money lender, as a loan made without a licence is unenforceable, unless there is a validation order from the Office of Fair Trading.
The WIMLU team also stress that if you are having problems making ends meet, don't turn to a loan shark. People who go to illegal money lenders often feel they've exhausted all legal lending options, might not have access to affordable credit, or don't know about alternatives like social funds or grants. But there is help available, including from local credit unions, and you can discuss your options with organisations like the National Debt Line, and the Citizens Advice Bureau.
Ashley Govier, Cardiff Council's cabinet member for environment, said: "We know that this time of year can be expensive for families as they prepare for Christmas and that the temptation to borrow from a loan shark is increased because they believe this will help to lessen the immediate financial burden. What they often don't realise is that it will cost them a lot more to pay back in the long run.
"This is why we are launching this awareness drive now because I think it is important that people know the dangers involved with borrowing from illegal money lenders and understand that there are alternative, trustworthy services out there that can be of help.
"I would urge anyone who is considering borrowing from an illegal money lender to stay well clear because they are dangerous predators. If you are struggling for financial help then credit unions offer a safe and easy place to turn for advice and support about your options.
"If, however, you feel that you have already become a victim of an illegal money lender or know of someone who has; Wales' Illegal Money Lending Unit is on hand 24 hours a day to give advice, support and protection so please get in touch."
Carl Sargeant, the Welsh Government's communities minister, described loan sharks as "despicable and calculated criminals" who are happy to "intimidate and exploit others to enhance their own wealth".
He said: "They are driven by power and greed and usually prey on the most vulnerable people in the community who are in desperate need of financial help by offering seemingly helpful solutions to money worries in return for unrealistic and unaffordable repayments."
"I urge everyone to avoid loan sharks at all costs and to look at the much more affordable solution offered by credit unions across Wales."
Top 10 reasons why people do not report a loan shark
1. Don't know how or who to report the loan shark to.
2. Believe the shark is a "friend".
3. Fear of violence against them or their family.
4. Embarrassment.
5. Believe they have broken the law by borrowing from the shark.
6. The shark is providing them with money that they want/ need – necessity – only source of credit.
7. Believe the shark is lending on a reasonable interest rate.
8. Assume the shark is a licensed lender.
9. Acceptable form of finance within the community.
10. Shark is part of the community.
Top things that the money loaned is used to pay for
1. Pay off other debts.
2. Utility bills, or food and living provisions.
3. Rent.
4. White goods such as washing machines, fridges, freezers.
5. Christmas and birthdays.
6. Food and living provisions.

Strawberry and White Chocolate Cupcakes
Happy New Year everyone. I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and a fun filled New Year. I still can't believe it's 2011. Time flies so fast.
Strawberries are really sweet at the moment, they are smaller in size but each punnet of strawberries that I have bought have been so sweet and juicy. What better way for me to do my first post on these delicious cupcakes. I found this recipe from www.taste.com.au, I tweaked it a little based on what ingredients I had at home.
These cupcakes are not only easy to make but really delicious too. They addition of almond meal gives it texture and keeps the cupcakes moist.
Strawberry and White Chocolate Cupcakes
(adapted from www.taste.com.au)
125g butter, at room temperature
155g (3/4 cup) caster sugar
2 eggs
150g (1 cup) self-raising flour
90g white chocolate, melted
80g (2/3 cup) almond meal
185ml (3/4 cup) skim milk
1 x 250g punnet strawberries, washed, hulled
300g (2 cups) icing sugar mixture, sifted
2-4 teaspoons milk
1. Preheat oven to 180C. Line twelve 80ml (1/3-cup) capacity muffin pans.
2. Use an electric beater to beat the butter and sugar until pale and creamy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Gently fold the flour into the egg mixture. Fold in the chocolate, hazelnut meal and buttermilk until smooth.
3. Divide among the prepared pans and smooth the surfaces. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centres comes out clean. Set aside in the pans for 5 minutes to cool before turning onto a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Roughly chop 4 strawberries and place in a medium bowl. Use a fork to crush them slightly. Stir in the icing sugar. Gradually add milk until the icing is spreadable.
5. Spread icing over the cakes. Halve remaining strawberries arrange on top of each cupcake.
When making the icing, I would suggest leaving the strawberries coarsely crushed. It will break down the sweetness of the icing and the specks of crushed strawberries look great on top of the cupcakes.
I cant end this post without encouraging everyone to donate to the QLD Flood Relief. This has really affected me because its so close to home. I feel for the thousands of people that have lost everything. I don't go a day without thinking of all the people that have lost their lives and all those helpless animals that have struggled to survive.
Every dollar counts. So please dig deep and donate.

Julie Verhoeven, the artist and fashion-collaboration extraordinaire has designed a set of t-shirts with her illustrations of animals and other strange creatures. Vogue UK reports that Verhoeven's fun and frivolous tees are in-store now for both guys and girls at £50 each. Verhoeven relays that "the artwork for the T-shirts came about by wanting a little bit of loopyness for springtime and letting loose the Mulberry menagerie of daft animals." I couldn't agree more- as seen in previous posts, I am also feeling the pressure of season transition and these are a designer-label colour boost. Wear them with jeans for day or with thin cardigans in berry tones and the Uniqlo chinos for a low-key evening look. Verhoeven's previous collection for Mulberry, a collection of quilted bags covered with her illustrations, were a disappointment for many but these look fresh and colourful enough to top many a Spring wishlist.
In stores now, £50 each, Pig, Bunny and Cat (left) motifs

Now in a Flood Zone, Residents of Gerritsen Beach Struggle to Stay Afloat
Residents of this Brooklyn neighborhood aren't happy that they're on the map.
Gerritsen Beach, a working-class Brooklyn neighborhood of low-slung bungalows hard hit by Sandy, is among the communities included in FEMA's updated flood maps released this week. The 35,000 homes and businesses in and around parts of New York City added to the flood zone may have to pay either higher flood insurance rates or raise their homes above sea level.
Jennifer Avena, 35, was born in Gerristen Beach. She said she can't afford to buy flood insurance right now.
"When I bought my house that was not in the arrangements," she said, standing outside her two-story clapboard home that took on nearly five feet of water during Sandy. "That wasn't in the budget. It wasn't in the pay checks to own our homes. And I don't know what I'm going to do."
All that's left of the first story of her home is the wooden frame, a metal sink on the floor and a dangling white shower head. It's uninhabitable and she's staying with her neighbor across the street. She will need to raise her home 11 feet above sea level in order to comply with the new flood maps, she said.
Her neighbor, Michael Murr, is in the midst of renovating his damaged basement and wonders what's the point?
"To sink money into repairing a house you may have to raise up, means you're demolishing a lot of what you just spent a lot of money to repair also not a sensible move," he said.
It's still unclear how these preliminary maps will affect individual flood insurance rates. But Murr, 49, worries his neighbors will be priced out the close-knit community. Many of them are retired city employees living on pensions.
"It'll also accomplish turning these houses into unsellable or sellable only to contractors or developers or people with a lot of money," Murr said.
Congress approved a more than $50 billion Sandy relief package, and residents of Gerritsen Beach hope some of that trickles down to them.
Listen to the audio above to hear WNYC's Amy Eddings ask Michael Byrne, FEMA's federal coordinating officer for New York, on the latest on the flood maps.

Many people associate mGive with Text to Give. We're the proven leader in mobile fundraising for global disaster and crisis relief. However, our philosophy is that mobile is more. 90% of our clients using our SMS platform, mobile tools and strategic services are not disaster oriented. Some of our clients aren't even using text to raise money.
Because mGive empowers clients to do more with mobile, delivering increased value and results by managing mobile in a strategic way in order to acquire, engage and retain donors, volunteers and advocates. In other words, it's not about a simple one time text donation. It's about developing and cultivating long-standing relationships through the mobile device. Text to Give is just one of the many perks.
Our insights, gleaned from our experience as creators and cultivators of the mobile channel for social good, coupled with our knowledge of fundraising best practices, enable us to make mobile a cross-channel powerhouse for clients wanting to increase long-term funding and enhance relationships.
We created mGive in 2005, inspired by the power of mobile to engage people, and passionate about its potential to change the world. Quite simply, we changed the way people give.
It took us three years to negotiate the first agreements with wireless carriers to allow 100 percent pass-through of text donations, the ability to identify mobile donations as nontaxable items on the donor's bill and the creation of standards and best practices to help govern the mobile channel. We first demonstrated the power of mobile in 2009 when Alicia Keys appeared on American Idol and raised $500,000 in text donations for the Keep a Child Alive Campaign after a mere four minute appearance. The awareness of text giving continued to grow in the United States when the Haiti earthquake struck, and $42 million was raised for relief efforts through $5 and $10 donations in a matter of weeks.
Today, as the leader of mobile engagement and fundraising, mGive has grown past the point of simply processing $5 and $10 text donations. Yes, we work with clients on their text giving campaigns. And they do well. But our core focus is on helping clients develop long term relationships with their mobile supporters. Our belief is that mobile is the key to acquiring, engaging and retaining donors, because your phone is with you anywhere and everywhere that you go.
mGive supports more than 1,000 nonprofit clients and has managed over 10,000 text engagement and fundraising campaigns, helping clients raise more than $75 million for their charitable work. Currently mGive processes 85 percent of all text donations in the U.S. We work with 60 wireless carriers providing access to more than 330 million mobile subscribers in the U.S. Our clients consist of the finest nonprofits in the country, including the Red Cross, National Geographic, Defenders of Wildlife, AARP Foundation, The National Park Foundation and many others.

Napoleon Hill Quotes: Mastermind Principles
Here is a summary of this Napoleon Hill Quotes video and commentary.
W. Clement Stone introduces Napoleon Hill.
The Master Key consists of 17 principles. The first is definiteness of purpose.
Know what you want. Write it down.
You will learn the master key when you are ready to receive it.
Whatever the mind can conceive and believe the mind can achieve. This has nothing to do with a person's education.
Hill cites Thomas A. Edison as an example.
Hill began to search for the power behind this secret when he heard Andrew Carnegie describe it.
When Hill told Andrew Carnegie that the steel magnate had chosen the wrong man to research and promote a philosophy of success, Carnegie gave Hill a lecture that changed the author's life.
Carnegie told Hill that all success begins with a definiteness of purpose. This means a clear picture in your mind of precisely what you want from life.
Then Carnegie continued. Everyone can control his or her mind and direct it to whatever ends one may choose.
You have two envelopes. One says "the riches you may enjoy if you take charge of your own mind and direct it to the ends of your own choice." The other is "the penalties you must pay if you neglect to take possession of your mind and direct it."
Hill lists the contents of the "riches" envelope and the "penalties" envelope.
Write a clear description of what you want. Your only limitations are the ones you set up for yourself.
Write a clear statement of precisely what you intend to give in return for what you want.
Memorize your statements. Repeat a dozen times. Give gratitude.
Do not ask for riches. Ask for wisdom.
Here's the most important point, an exercise, and an mp3:
Carnegie told Hill that all success begins with a definiteness of purpose. This means a clear picture in your mind of precisely what you want from life.
Here is why this is so important. Definiteness of Purpose spawns lots and lots of good things.
For example, you will never develop a Burning Desire for success without Definiteness of Purpose. And a Burning Desire is important because it impresses upon your subconscious mind what you want.
Definiteness of Purpose means that you can engage the Principle of Autosuggestion. When you know what you want with absolute clarity, you can begin to impress your desire upon the subconscious mind again and again and again.
Definiteness of Purpose also means that you can become an accurate thinker. This means that you can focus upon ideas that impact the accomplishment of your Definite Chief Aim.
These are reasons why you do yourself a huge favor by knowing exactly what you want from life. Your mind of success works efficiently and can generate dramatic results.
And this is good for your bank account as well. Tony Robbins says "Life will pay any price you ask of it."
So know what you want. And keep asking for it until you get it.
Here is the exercise and an mp3:
Start with the quote "Whatever the mind can conceive and believe the mind can achieve."
This is what I call a "drive-through window" exercise. Let your mind of success remind you to remember this exercise every time you notice your reflection in a mirror.
As you do this, here are some thoughts to turn over in your mind. The more you do this, the more you begin to walk, talk, think, and act like the successful person you are already becoming.
Suppose that every time you look in the mirror you see someone who knows that whatever the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve. Suppose that this person is so established in a positive mental attitude and this success principle that any result except success is unthinkable.
Suppose that this person knows that anything he or she decides to do is as good as accomplished. Suppose that this person regards the obstacles on the way to this success as little more than problems to be solved and challenges to be overcome.
Suppose that this person has had so much experience with this success principle that it is not something he or she believes. It is something he or she knows for sure.
Imagine how this person sees the world as a result of this total conviction that whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve. Imagine the possibilities that are open to this person.
The more you imagine that this person is you, the more your self-image becomes that of a high achiever. The more you see yourself as a high achiever, the more the current boundaries of your life melt into the distance.
Why? The comfort zone of this person is very large and getting more expansive.
Imagine being so sure of the principles of success that your mind of success responds with certainty as you look in the mirror and say "Whatever you can conceive and believe, you can achieve."
So this exercise is really a moment of mindfulness. And this is prompted by seeing your reflection in the mirror and letting your mind explore who that person is becoming.
So here's how to become this person. Think about this person a lot.
According to Earl Nightingale, "You become what you think about."
And this person that you are already becoming is a good thing to think about, wouldn't you agree?
In today's recording (21:21), I outline one of life's better deals. And there is and sure and simple way to get it. Napoleon Hill says life offers you two envelopes. You get to choose which one you open. One says "the riches you may enjoy if you take charge of your own mind and direct it to the ends of your own choice." The other is "the penalties you must pay if you neglect to take possession of your mind and direct it." This means that the more you control your mind and direct it to whatever you want, the more you get what you want. How clear is that? Why? You become a magnet for what you think about. So what is simplest, easiest, and most effective way to choose "Riches" instead of "Penalties?" Have a definite chief aim. Your definite chief aim chooses the "Riches" envelope… for you. You can't help it. And a definite chief aim sparks lots of other really cool benefits. Among other good things, a definite chief aim, energizes talent, sparks a burning desire, wakes up your "sixth sense," and makes you an unusually good judge of people. And it automatically chooses the "Riches" envelope for you. So what's not to like?

So you just got to Montreal?
Yeah, it's awesome. It's comedy headliner summer camp. You get to see all your friends that you don't normally get to see, because everyone's out working.
Is Just for Laughs specifically a standup festival?
It's mostly standup comics, but they do all these things around it. There's a lot of podcasts now, all things associated with standup comedy. Andy Samberg and the cast of Brooklyn Nine-Nine are here, I saw that. So it's all things comedy related.
Can you tell us a little about your show?
I've always been a storyteller, and this show has my favorite three stories in it I've ever told. Two of them are new, which I'm very excited about. It's hard to do standup when you're working; the Daily Show had me pretty busy, so it was difficult to do standup then, and now that I'm on this NBC show, About a Boy, I have a little bit more standup time. So, I don't know, it's hard for me to exactly describe what I'm doing, but I'm a storyteller and somebody who really takes pride in this.
You're performing at Seth Rogen's gala on Saturday?
Yeah, that's such a cool show to be a part of, because the lineup has so many of my friends and comics that I like, so it's Jerrod Carmichael, who's awesome, Hannibal Buress, Joe Mande, myself, and it's just a good gala to be a part of. Hopefully some people come out. It's always nice to do standup when people are there.
Word is you're a huge 49ers fan
I am a 49ers fan, correct, yes. I grew up in San Francisco proper, in the city. A lot of people say San Francisco when they're from suburbs, and that bothers people from the city.
Were you always a 49ers fan?
Yeah, growing up it was ridiculous; it was just ingrained in us. My dad had tickets from an older stadium, the one they played at prior to when they played at Candlestick Park, and so as soon as I was old enough to go to games, he started taking me. He made us sit through all of the bad years, and we didn't have much money, so he paid so much for the tickets that he made us stay for every minute of the game. So they'd be getting their asses kicked, 35-7, and it'd be raining and you'd look around and me and my brother and my dad were the only people there. We didn't have rain jackets so we brought garbage bags, Glad bags, and he would have to rip a hole in the Glad bag and you'd put that around yourself. We looked like three raisins just sitting there by ourselves. We were not allowed to leave early, so that's why all these years are so sweet. The Jim Harbaugh and Jed York era, Trent Baalke…it was all worth it. It's that much more enjoyable because you really paid your dues. It's the same thing with standup, you know. All the bad shows make the great ones that much better.
How do you think the 49ers are looking?
I think they look great, I think Baalke had one of the best drafts, clearly, and you know report cards come out hours after—which is fucking ridiculous I think—but just looking at it, I was very, very happy with what they did and who they got. They always get some guys that are almost like redshirts, a lot of folks, so now who we have coming on to our team is like Marcus Lattimore and Eric Reid and some of these guys who are injured that maybe dropped in the draft, we picked up a couple of those guys. We got a linebacker from Ohio State that's gonna come in and replace NaVorro Bowman when he's out with that gruesome injury that he suffered, so we are going to be looking pretty good. I feel good. I feel great about the wide receivers.
Do you do fantasy?
You are talking to the winner of the Daily Show's fantasy! So I do not just do fantasy, I kick people's ass with a mediocre team. I'm making some moves...so I'm excited about doing fantasy again this year. I'm just really fired up about the whole NFL season. It's my favorite sport; I just bought a new TV, re-upped my TV package, I own a ticket with some people, we have 16 seats. Luckily, because of my relationship with the 49ers, they found out I was a fan and flew me out to a game to do a show before we played the Redskins last year, so on a Sunday night I did a show in Arlington, VA. The Niners did a whole piece on it, and I got to sit in the friends and family section. It was awesome. As a result of that, I got a call from Trent Baalke's wife and got to roast Trent as a surprise on his 50th birthday. Trent Dilfer was there, Tom Rathman, Keena Turner, the entire organization, Jed York was there—he's one of the coolest dudes ever—that's why I think we're in great hands. I've gotten to meet these guys from the COO to the President Paraag, and everybody really is committed to doing it. And then I got to talk to them all at length and give them the business and it was a really fun time.
As the Daily Show fantasy champion, do you have any advice?
I think people get locked in to who they're gonna pick. I win, well, I've won just recently, because I traded a lot. I was constantly monitoring the waiver wire, I was adjusting my team on a regular basis, I was really playing against bad defenses, and so I was picking guys up to play. I was adjusting. There are people projected to do well who did well the year before that are just gonna be busts, and if you get stuck with a couple of them, I think it's important that you abandon them right away and start picking up players who are playing against horrible defenses. That's how I did it, and I won easily.
Do you think people get too sentimental?
Look, I have a lot of Niners on my team. I did. I traded a great QB for Colin Kaepernick, who did not have a great fantasy year. Passing wise, they were running more, so he was not a good fantasy QB. I looked like a genius in the first game, because he just came out and killed people and had an amazing fantasy week. But then we played Seattle and he got like -2, he was horrible and lost me points. But yeah, I think people do. I don't like fantasy for the reason that it has me rooting for players that we're playing against. I never will start anybody on my team that the Niners are playing. I'm a 49er fan first, and I'd rather lose all of it. I don't wanna root for fucking Cobb. He catches a pass and I'm happy? No, I want his legs to be broken. OK, obviously I don't want anybody's legs to be broken, but I don't wanna root against the Niners. There's this comedian, David Huntsberger, and he's a huge 49ers fan, and he was coming over and he goes "Hey! Thanks for inviting us over, but do you mind if I bring a Packers fan?" And we're playing the Packers and I go, "Yeah! What are you fucking thinking? I don't want that in my house. I don't want guy in in a Packers jersey!" Like some guy in a Farve jersey sitting down and rooting for the other team…absolutely not! I'm almost gonna ban you for even suggesting it. I've banned people from my house, and I don't want any opposing team's fans in my home. They don't get to come in.

3 Minute Whole Wheat Bread
Recipe by Marlitt
This is too simple, and no bread machine required. This makes a beautiful and really healthy bread. I was really skeptical when a friend gave me this recipe but the result was great. The 3 minutes is prep time it does take an hour to bake.
Top Review by anme7039
This was def. easy to make, very good if you dont have much time on your hands. I made this while I was watching the kids I watch some weekdays, so it HAD to be easy if I could double task like that lol. The loaf I thought came out a little too dense for my liking. I used a mixture of sesame and flax seeds to make 3/4 cup. Over all a nice loaf if you are to busy to worry about fooling around with the "regular" bread recipes.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 7 g dry yeast (packet)
- 2 cups milk (warm or you can also use warm water)
- 1 1⁄2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1⁄2 cup unbleached flour
- 3⁄4 cup flax seed (actually any whole grain what ever you like flax seed, sesame seed, sunflower seeds, or walnuts etc.)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar or 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
Directions See How It's Made
- In a medium bowl dissolve the yeast in warm milk ( not hot).
- Add the rest of the ingredients (very important, do not forget the vinegar) and stir well.
- Pour dough into a 5 x 9 loaf pan.
- Place into a cold oven and turn the heat to 400°F.
- Bake for 10 minutes then cut a slit in the top of the dough.
- After 40 minutes of baking you can brush the top of the loaf with butter or an egg wash.
- After 60 minutes reduce the heat to 350°F then bake another 50 minutes.
- Remove the bread from the pan and bake another 15-30 minutes.
- Bread is done when it sounds hollow.

I am the proud new owner of a 92fs and a cx4 both in 9mm, I was disapointed to find the magazines do not interchange. I found out after the fact that the cx4 came in several different mag configurations. Found the cx4 92 mag conversion kit 20 dollars and the mag release 30 on the beretta web site out of stock. I was wondering if someone else had a cx4 and wanted to trade mag adapters. I now have two 18 round cx style mags I wont use as all my spare mags are 92 style so would be willing to part with them as well.
Sorry if this is the wrong section for this post. Thanks in advance for any help

Like most of the other women here, I have been stalking the site for months. Reading everyone's posts has helped me through my healing process. So for that, I thank everyone. Here is my story. I am 32 years old, married and the proud mom of four boys, ages three, nine, 14, and 15. I had my first son of 17 years old, and my body has never been the same. My first child was average weight, but the rest of the boys were not. Two of them were over 10 pounds, the last was 10 pounds 11 ounces.
My belly had no chance.My last pregnancy, my weight topped 200 lbs. Since I have managed to stay consistent with my weight, usually between 130 and 140 pounds, 5ft., 6inches. I have always wanted and needed a tummy tuck, and have had low self esteem issues for just as long. Not long ago after jokingly asking my husband if I could have the surgery, he finally said yes. So the very next day, my surgery was scheduled. I had breast augmentation surgery in 2007 so I had already had a plastic surgeon.
My surgery was March 7, 2013. For anyone who has not had their procedure yet, be advised for a roller-coaster ride of emotions before and after the surgery. If I were to give one piece of advice, it would be to embrace yourself and your imperfections before you go through with this procedure. I told myself before I had the surgery that I would be hot and happy afterwards, that I would no longer be ashamed of my body. Small sexy, tight tummy, big boobs, and a fat A**, what else could a girl want, right? Well unless you have your mind right, you will find more imperfections every time you look in the mirror. Now I don't like my arms, my thighs are fat, my nose is crooked, and my neck skin hangs……. On and on and on. When does it stop ladies? When will we quit subjecting ourselves to this and just learn to love ourselves? I look at my body and I now have this scar from hip to hip, I look as though I have survived a violent attack, and I chose this.
Don't get me wrong, time will pass and I'm sure that I will love my results, but the pain, swelling, an emotional crap is getting overwhelming. OK, I think I have vented enough…. On to the surgery. I had a drain less tummy tuck, muscle repair, and lipo. I know there is some controversy as to how long a woman should stay in recovery, I was out of surgery less than an hour before I got to go home. My surgeon believes that people heal better at home, and I have to agree. My recovery has been uneventful, thank god, knock on wood. Aside from swelling, and glue not wanting to fall off, things have been pretty great. I am at the five week mark, and I cannot fit into any of my pre surgery clothes, due to swell hell. No jeans, nothing, so it is pretty sucky. I live in yoga pants and PJ's. But on the plus side my husband has promised me a shopping spree once all is said and done. So, I guess I can wait patiently. I have a love/ hate relationship with my compression garments. I am currently wearing Spanx, and they have worked the best for me so far. If anyone else is interested in purchasing Spanx, I would suggest picking them up from a store, to ensure proper fit. I hope that my posts help someone, as so many have helped me. I have included some pics. Happy healing to everyone.

Beverly Gage, professor of history, will present a talk titled "J. Edgar Hoover and the Rise of Modern Conservatism" at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 22, in Room 119 of the Hall of Graduate Studies, 320 York St. A reception will follow in the McDougal Center common room.
Her talk — which can be watched online on Yale's YouTube channel — is part of this year's In the Company of Scholars lecture series sponsored by Thomas D. Pollard, dean of the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences.
Hoover (1895–1972) headed the FBI for 48 years. Although he was revered in his lifetime, he is now generally seen as having operated outside the bounds of American politics, using illegal surveillance to suppress civil rights leaders and left-leaning political activists.
"This is a good moment to put him in the context of the bigger story of the 20th century that we now have the distance to tell. Hoover was actually at the center of American politics. He used the tools of big government, but used them in an ideologically conservative way," notes Gage, adding, "He was also an outspoken proponent of conservative family values, despite his long-term private relationship with Clyde Tolson, second-in-command at the FBI."
Gage is currently working on her second book, "G-Man: J. Edgar Hoover and the American Century" (Viking).

If comedians jokingly refer to Florida as "America's penis", then the above graphic illustrating the percentage of total homes that are in foreclosure would suggest that the U.S. real estate market, and Florida in particular, has a raging sexually transmitted disease.
As Gonzalo Lira so cleverly put it: Mortgage Backed Securities are America's Herpes—the gift that keeps on oozing. One can only hope and pray — or cheer and rant if you're a bear versus bull on the space — the severity of the infection doesn't spread to other states.
But, when you consider that 28% of securitized loans did not meet underwriting standards and the Too Big To Fail banks are turning into real estate investment trusts, who are ill equipped to become landlords, the situation looks like it will take more than a few rounds of penicillin to cure.

Police believe they have determined the fate of at least some of the bronze sculptures stolen from a Sandy art gallery after they recovered several hundred pounds of metal chunks from a recycler.
Dan Hill, owner of the Hill Gallery & Sculpture Park, 9045 S. 1300 East, reported the theft of 10 bronze sculptures, weighing 60 to 150 pounds each, between the last weekend in October and Nov. 25. His father created the pieces, most of which depicted children at play.
On Wednesday, Sandy police were seeking a court order for the records of a local metal recycler who may have bought pieces of the sculptures.
A large metal recycling center received from a smaller operation fist-sized chunks of bronze, which employees recognized as pieces of the statues that police asked recyclers to watch for, said Sgt. Jon Arnold. Sandy police contacted the smaller recycler, but the businessman did not follow protocol when buying the metal and his information on the buyer was inaccurate.
The buyer purportedly didn't realize the information was wrong, Arnold said. So detectives are trying to get copies of the recycler's records so they can analyze them and, combined with surveillance footage, find their suspect.
Anyone with information about the Sandy thefts is asked to call Hill at 801-562-9242 or the Sandy City Police Department at 801-568-7200, citing case number 12E010915.
Meanwhile, Salt Lake City police have recovered a bronze statue of a quail and its chick on skates stolen from a Salt Lake City park near 900 S. 2000 East.
"I'm in shock. I thought that thing would have been long gone," said Roni Thomas, public arts program manager for Salt Lake City.
Tuesday night, detectives found the quail in a back yard a block away from the park after a neighbor looking over the fence recognized the art work under a pile of branches, said Salt Lake City police Lt. Dennis McGowan.
The resident told police there had been a party on Nov. 30 the night the bird was stolen. He didn't have a lot of details, but knew of another person who may have been involved in stealing the bird, which has an estimated value of $15,000 to $20,000. One witness led to the next, and police ultimately arrested a 22-year-old Salt Lake City man for felony theft.
Thomas hoped the same person was responsible for the Sandy sculptures theft. But McGowan said there is no link between the young man accused of stealing the quail and the stolen child statues.

They are probably reporting the power levels differently. Or your WG511T is defective.
Heya everyone,
ive been researching and learning about wifi for the past few weeks and have learnt quite a bit. I have a notebook with ipw2200, however it does not support de-auth attacks, so after reading on a bit on the forum, i decided to purchase a netgear WG511T.
However, the performance of the stock card is very bad compared to the centrino. So ive decided to mod the card with an external connection to my 2 home made antennas(cantenna & biquad). There is a huge performance boost, but it still does not match the performance of the ipw2200.
I'm not allowed to post image or attachment yet, so no screenies. Basically this is the read out from netstumbler.
WG511T with nothing connected to the N socket -70 dbm
Cantenna -50 db
ipw2200 -44db
BiQuad -52 db
What is going on? Is the centrino that powerful, or is there something wrong with my wg511t?
They are probably reporting the power levels differently. Or your WG511T is defective.
Possibly a bad mod
If you soldered it badly rather than using a plug you will get losses not gains
Maybe using a PigTail might help solve gain problems
Or - your home made antenna's are not any good - try using a commercial one for comparison

'"Mark has come in and played well," Head Coach Lindy Ruff said of the 6-foot-3 forward. "You're always going to get instant pop out of a player you bring up. There is the exciting of getting up, there is the excitement of playing. "He uses his size but he gets [to the net]. He gets inside the D and he gets to the goaltender. That's more about how goals are going to be scored."'
'"He's a big body with a great shot who can get pucks to the net," coach Lindy Ruff said. "He'll go to the front of the net and hang tough and he's been good on their power play. With Ales and Tim out, it's a weapon we can try to utilize."'
'The top prospect I saw the most was a centre with Oshawa, Dave Andreychuk. I reported he had a good shot, was a bad skater and was slow coming back. Andreychuk was drafted in the first round by Buffalo and played over 1,900 NHL games and scored more than 680 goals. Not bad for a bad skater!'
'The policy might be well-intentioned, but it makes no sense in this situation. Lindy Ruff didn't want to announce the specific nature of the injury out of fears that when he returned, Connolly would be targeted. But he's already a target, a wounded gazelle on a Serengeti Plain full of ruthless predators.'
'Forget about this season, folks. It's not going to happen with the current group, which is fragile. It's a playoff-caliber team, nothing more.'
'The Sabres were working hard, skating well — to put it bluntly, they were absolutely dominating the Islanders — but once again they were being openly mocked by the scoreboard.'
'Connolly was hit hard by Tkachuk on Nov. 12, but an initial diagnosis failed to reveal the crack. The Sabres have described the injury only as an "upper body-musculoskeletal" problem.'
'But a night after former teammate Martin Biron made 40 saves in a shutout, the Sabres again ran into a hot goalie. MacDonald, making his 10th straight start in place of the injured Rick DiPietro, avenged an earlier start this season in which he allowed all seven goals in a 7-1 loss to the Sabres on Long Island. He made 30 saves over the first two periods.'
'"I'm happy with my play, but I'd rather that take goal back and win a game. That's what's important right now," he said.'

What about the Asus Eee Pad Transformer? Is there hope for some sugary software desert for users of this tablet, in the form of an Ice Cream Sandwich update? It is quite possible although the Transformer Prime will garner more resources from Asus than its older tablet. While the manufacturer might play favorites and give most of its attention to the newborn, the development community is never one to follow the rules and instead has been hard at work to port Android 4.0 over to the Transformer.
How successful has the effort been? You can actually judge for yourself by viewing the video below. One developer has Android 4.0 running an Asus Eee Pad Transformer, although there is no sound and the OS is slow and buggy. But it is a start. This is the beauty of having third party developers, hard at work to deliver software solutions to devices quicker than you might expect from the manufacturer.

text: Jazz guitarist and composer, William Mukuna lives in Hamilton, ON. With over 15 years of experience playing his instrument. To better the craft has always been his goal. William started studying the guitar at a very young age. Very soon he developed a passion for music and tried to imitate the sounds that he could pick up from every record and albums that were available to him. Listening to The Beatles, Jimmy Hendrix, Franco Luambo Makiadi,Dr Nico and other bands, was the thing to do after school. On the weekends, William would go the musicians at church and asked them to show him how to play some of the African-rooted gospel songs from the services. As the years went by, William went on to study classical guitar privately and was introduced to notated music. Those new sounds were really attractive to his ears and the drive to learn more was even more present. After high school, William went on to major in Jazz guitar performance at Mohawk College in Hamilton,ON. This is where he benefited from the teachings of several well-known Canadian musicians such as Joey Goldstein, Bob Shields and Jonathan Earp for classical guitar. He studied composition with Mike Malone and Dave Mc Murdo, and also participated to the Eden Mills Writers Festival. Since then, he has never stopped looking for every possible opportunity to make the most of his musical knowledge through performances throughout the Greater Hamilton region. William featured on Jazz FM 91.1 on the Jazzology program hosted by Larry Green. He has also performed at The Brantford Jazz festival for the last two years. Living in Hamilton, William teaches privately and through studios around town. In 2010, William started working as an artist for Artsaround. This program brings music and drama in elementary schools through an organised curriculum which meets the Ontario ministry standards and specifics. He is also called to record and arrange songs. William usually performs with his trio and enjoys composing original music that reveals his african, classical and jazz influences. Whether you like jazz, latin, world music or classical music, the William Mukuna Trio has a lot of spices to offer to your ears. The guitarist also performs with various artists, and gospel groups.

When Does Fall Start?
Some questions just don't have simple answers and "when does Fall start?" is one of those. A totally unsatifying answer is that it depends on where you live and who you ask! So let's get the least satisfactory answers out the way first.
From a purely sociological viewpoint, the Fall season starts on the day after Labor Day. For a few months we've been vacationing, participating in outdoor activities and sports, and our children have been out of school. Labor day kind of marks the border between that and a life of returning to work and school, a changing of the weather, changing from outdoor activities and sports to some indoors and to different ones outdoors, etc. There's certainly little justification for this determination of when Fall starts except our frames of mind.
The definition of when Fall begins from a strict weather outlook is September 1st. Meteorologists actually define Fall as the months of September, October, and November. It's just easier for them to keep seasonal weather pattern records by the month so that definition doesn't mean much to each of us.
The most common answer to the question, "When does Fall start?" is that it begins at the moment of the Fall Equinox. That's when the rays of the Sun are exactly perpendicular to the Earth at the equator. This year (2009), that occured at 5:18 PM eastern daylight time in the US on September 22nd.
That, of course, only applies to the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, that same moment marked the beginning of Spring! The first day of Fall there was on March 20, 2009 and you probably guessed that was also the first day of Spring in the North. This makes sense if you think about the fact that from the moment the Fall Equinox occurs, the intensity of the Sun's rays will be increasing in the Southern half of the Earth and decreasing in the Northern half.
So even the most scientifically justified and most commonly accepted answer depends on where you live. But that's not nearly the strangest fact about when seasons start. June 21st is typically the day when the Sun's direct rays are the farthest north so shouldn't that be the hottest day in the North? And yet, that's simply the first day of Summer! Shouldn't it be the middle of Summer?
Again, there's a simple explanation. The Earth's surface is approximately 75% covered by water. Water temperatures change at a much slower pace than land temperatures. It just so happens that it takes water temperatures about one and a half months to "catch up" with the warmer land temperature in Spring or with the cooler land temperature in Fall. Since the temperature that we experience is both from the land and from the air (which is influenced by water temperatures), the seasons are delayed from what one would expect if the intensity of the Sun was the only factor.
The distance between the Earth and the Sun also has a very slight effect on temperature. The Northern hemisphere actually benefits from this because the Earth is closest to the Sun in Early January and furthest in early July. Again, this is a very small influence on temperatures.
The Earth's orientation to the Sun is the reason for seasonal changes. The Earth is tilted in relation to the Sun by a bit over 23 degrees. For one half of its year of revolving around the Sun, the Earth's Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun and the North experiences Spring and Summer. The other half of the year, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun and the North experiences Fall and Winter.

Car drives fine - but after a 45 minute drive on the freeway the SES light came on with codes P0171 and P0174.... something about it running lean. I cleaned off the head and valve cover well before placing them on, used a small amount of RTV as indicated, and tightened the nuts well. Any thoughts as to why this is coming up? Car seems to be running fine!
Sounds like you've got misfires from a vacuum leak. Probably from valve cover. Did you torque it all down properly to spec?
I did my valve cover gasket while doing my Vanos seals. Afterwards I was getting misfires on all cylinders with my peake tool. I just built a smoke tester and ran it on my car. Found the valve cover was leaking. So I will be replacing it again.
When I did my valve cover gasket I put the gasket on the head first which is where I think I made my mistake. The little fin that runs around the gasket and fits into the cover itself most likely was smashed down in some spots, even though I was careful placing it on. Shoulda known better, it didn't seem right while I was doing it. My neighbor decided to come and hang out while he was drunk off his ass HaHa He ended up drivin me nuts while I was trying to finish the job. So I was rushing to finish so I could get rid of him.
Anyway, you could:
1. Check the torque on the bolts to see if some are loose. (Use a proper torque wrench if you didn't the first time.)
2.Spray starter fluid around valve cover where it meets head while engine running. If engine idle changes while spraying in an area then its probably leaking from there. (You might not be able to spray enough of the fluid in some spots, so you might not find all leaks this way.)
3. You can build yourself a smoke tester to REALLY find out where the leaks are coming from.
Great write up by the way!

WK43 - one thing that you'll notice about the "catching up" weeks - very little journaling. I'm thankful that photos can tell stories.
WK43 left. Random bits of life.
Austin looked at this week & said "I like that you put Austin vs. tree on the opposite page from student of the month." Yin & yang, buddy.
WK43 right. Austin was honored as a Student of the Month. I love that they included the nomination letter on the back side of hte certificate. Since I'll put the certificate in his 10th grade file, I retyped the note for PL.
I blame Barb for the fact that I've listened to this Taylor Swift song about 2200 times. It's My Jam digi-stamp from Kelly Purkey (who will probably smack me for using her stamp with a TSwift lyric. Sorry KP!).
And with that, I'm in the current month with PL - wooo hooo!
