Four From Sunday: Winning-drive magic and winter-cold mastery
Week 12 signals some real football, complete with notable winning drives from playoff contenders and winter weather playing a role, too.
Week 12 signals some real football, complete with notable winning drives from playoff contenders and winter weather playing a role, too. Without further review, let's get into Four From Sunday.
1. Four winning drives
Week 12 was highlighted by four winning drives, made more impressive because all were executed by road teams, and in my order of preference:
• The San Diego Chargers trailed 38-34 at Kansas City with 1:17 left and 78 yards to go. Philip Rivers connected on 4 of 6 passes for 78 yards and the winning touchdown. Antonio Gates and Danny Woodhead made catches to keep the drive alive, with the winning score going to Seyi Ajirotutu , who caught only his third pass this season.
• The Carolina Panthers trailed 16-13 at Miami with 4:13 left, and already had failed to score on three previous drives. But when it counted, Carolina marched 80 yards, running five times for 36 yards and Cam Newton going 5 of 7 for 34 yards and the 1-yard TD pass to Greg Olsen . Highlight of the drive: On fourth and 10, Newton found Steve Smith for 19 yards completion from their own 20 yard line and 2:33 left.
• Tennessee trailed 19-16 at Oakland with backup QB Ryan Fitzpatrick under center and 80 yards to go, needing not only to take the lead, but to chew up clock with 6:10 left. The Tennessee Titans did just that, executing a 14-play drive (four runs for 13 yards, Fitzpatrick was 8 of 10 for 67 yards and the winning TD pass to Kendall Wright ) and leaving only 15 seconds on the clock. Fitzpatrick used four different receivers on the drive, which keeps the Titans are very much in the playoff race.
• Dallas was tied at 21 at New York vs. the New York Giants and 4:45 left. Tony Romo led the Dallas Cowboys on a 64-yard drive from his own 20 for the winning field goal with no time remaining.
2. Contenders: Beware of Bucs, Glennon
Time to take notice of the Bucs and rookie QB Mike Glennon , who led Tampa to victory at NFC Central-leading Detroit, extending Tampa's winning streak to three games.
Coach Greg Schiano has leveled off Glennon's pass attempts in the mid 20s and he still has five ouchdown passes in the past three games with only one INT.
Three of the Bucs' remaining opponents have legitimate playoff aspirations but will have to deal with an emerging team with an emerging QB. Just ask the Detroit Lions .
3. Baby, it's cold outside
Make no mistake, weather will be a factor from now until the Super Bowl. Teams unable to handle the cold will fall to the wayside.
There were six games in sub-32 degree weather, where the premium is put on the running game and avoiding fumbles. Tackling can be an issue as well.
• San Diego beat Kansas City with a game-time temperature of 24 degrees (wind-chill dipping to 1 degree). So much for the idea the Chargers can't play in the cold as they scored 41 points.
• Denver's ground game (48 carries for 280 yards) demonstrates the Denver Broncos are ready for the cold weather, as did New England's (31 carries for 116 yards). In the cold, teams must be able to run the ball, stop the run and have the ability to survive quarters playing against a chilling cold wind. That's why Bill Belichick elected to take the wind rather than the ball in overtime of Sunday's victory.
• Pittsburgh beat Cleveland in 20-degree weather and a wind-chill that made it 1 degree. The Pittsburgh Steelers always look like they love the cold.
As Bill Cowher told me Sunday: "I never worried about Ben Roethlisberger in the cold, he has big hands to grip the ball and plays like it's a warm sunny day."
• Baltimore hosted the New York Jets with the game-time temp at 33 degrees but a wind chill that made it feel like 20. The Baltimore Ravens are 6-1 in such conditions at home since 2008 and host the Steelers on Thanksgiving night. The Steelers come to town with a 6-3 record on the road in the same conditions since 2008.
• Minnesota is an indoor team but managed a tie at Green Bay with the temperature at 19 degrees and a wind chill making it feel like 7 degrees.
Adrian Peterson stayed warm by running 32 times for 146 yards and a TD.
• Dallas came into New York and beat the Giants with the temperature at 25 degrees and a wind chill of 18.
4. Road's rough on Geno
Geno Smith may become the Jets' franchise, but if you were deciding his future based on his rookie road record, he would be sent packing.
He's young and flashes but what about these road numbers after six road games, including Sunday's loss at Baltimore: Smith has a 1-5 record with four TD passes and 12 INTs in 164 passes. He has lost four fumbles and been sacked 23 times (once every eight pass plays), has failed to run for a TD and has netted on three rushing first downs.
If Mark Sanchez had these numbers there would be a boycott of the Jets by now.

Those blankety- blank viruses and such
Expand Messages
- Same with me Mark.
I use Microsoft Outlook (Full) and it didn't even show any attachments.
I even looked at the source code and there was nothing there, except for
some "interesting" information about the sender.
BTW, I think it was JC who didn't know which email it was. It was called
"Disk CD" from a sender who tried to ghost their identity as
probecontrol (without the line between the words).
Also, JC thanks for the sharing with the group about the way some
programmers try to hide their viruses. They use extensions like exe,
pif, doc, or even zip to sneak their virus out on "ordinary" emails.
Most of the time, like you said, you may see an attachment for picture
and think its okay. But your mail program may be ignoring those extra
characters on the end. Some have even gone so far as to write something
like myphoto.gif........html
A file like that can take you to a web site that sends malicious script
files into your computer.
I know all of this may sound terribly off subject, but it is a wise
precaution to consider that it can happen to any of us. At one time, I
thought I was invulnerable to internet viruses, until I got one and it
practically rewrote my whole hard drive. Now I am a banner waving
advocate of good virus protection and personal firewalls.
Be safe. Use protection.
(Does that sound too much like a condom ad? Sorry!!!!)

For Immediate Release
Contact: Sen. Sylvia Larsen
Concord , NH—Citing the need for stronger public health and environmental protections for New Hampshire, Senator Sylvia Larsen recently sponsored and testified in support of SB292 and HB 1534 to require a state permit before allowing waste operators to burn debris from construction and demolition sites (C & D)
SB292, like HB 1534, requires any operators seeking to burn large-scale construction debris and demolition (C &D) materials to apply for a permit through the Department of Environmental Services (DES) to show their ability to control significant emissions for dangerous toxins, like lead, mercury, or benzene, before burning C &D or waste-derived products. State permits would include necessary background checks on operators as well as checks on environmental safeguards.
"C & D waste, when incinerated, is known to release toxins, which cause neurological problems, especially in children, as well as increased incidence of asthma and other respiratory problems," Larsen explained. "Most New England states prohibit C&D burning, so, without strict regulations, New Hampshire's weak permitting requirements could encourage large-scale importation and incineration of out-of state wastes."
Representatives of waste operators, seeking to open large-scale incinerators of C & D waste and the Department of Environmental Services opposed the bills arguing it would hinder the development of "new markets" in the state. However, a recent legislative study recommended instead that DES explore "new markets" such as deconstruction, a technique to destroy a building by preserving the individual parts like the windows, flooring, piping etc for future use.
During the State of the State Address on January 18th, Governor Lynch repeated his call for protecting our air quality and reducing the toxic emissions from burning C & D waste in New Hampshire, "We must not let New Hampshire become the new dumping ground for this toxic material."
"New Hampshire should lose the burn and bury attitude toward this toxic debris." Larsen concluded. "We need to protect our children and our clean air. A real Yankee solution is to reuse and recycle." Currently there is a moratorium of C & D burning in the state which ends July 1, 2006.
Larsen's proposals would further safeguard against large-scale unregulated importation and burning of out of state construction waste.

Have an opinion?
I haven't used it for several years. Too full of privacy and security issues. Too easy to give away critical personal information without realising it.
in my opinion fb is on its way out. It's just the same boring shit. Privacy issues are ongoing and no one cares about family home videos from someone I went to high school with, or political memes from some punk kid.
I still use it pretty often
i like facebook better than GAG.
the truly mature or truly non popular reject angry types hate facebook.
why would anyone associating and opening up to a bunch of faceless people who dont care about you?
on facebook, i know these people and meet up with them. think about it.
i never really used it and i only really use it for meme pages. like nfl memes, nba memes and 1960s spiderman memes.
I don't have many social sites so I still use Facebook a lot. My newsfeed is full of funny/weird shit
on rare occasions you will
even find someone with a MySpace
Never used it in my life. Everybody was always at me to do it. It's better to talk to somebody face to face I think. Plus I like a private life and if you all think everything you put online is safe then have a word with yourselves
I still use it, but I only add important people I'm truly interested in. No fake ass acquaintance or random classmate adding.
I'm barrely online on Facebook anymore. Years ago i was on it every single day!
I use it to keep in contact with my family and friends through out the country.
still popular. its just people on this website dont use it cause most here are introverts.
Facebook is an evil coorporation, they cheat to win
I don't use it as much as I used to
Mmm It's less of a thing than before, but many people still use it! Including me.
Facebook is still popular. I check it daily and update it every once in awhile. Personally, I preferred MySpace when it was popular 9-10 years ago. I met a lot of cool people during that time.
almost everyone I know has it... many just to chat but they are still active on it, so I would say yes
I still use Facebook, but it's because I have a lot of games and family connections on Facebook.

Oh. pull list, I could never forget about you, even amidst all this Blogfest stuff I'm doing. But, wow. I never thought I'd see the day when I will be getting only ONE comic book. I've had weeks where I don't get any, but one? Never. I'm probably going to buy a random comic book just so I don't freak out in the middle of the store. Anyway, don't throw water on your computer, jump out a window, or do any other crazy stuff. This is happening. So, here is the one comic book I am getting.
- Green Lantern #22
This is the second issue of Robert Venditti's run on Green Lantern, and while he's no Geoff Johns, I feel he's doing his best to try and fill those massive shoes. Last issue saw Hal become leader of the Corps, which caused him to have to train some rookies. It also foreshadowed the future of the Green Lantern line. Also in the last issue- Larfleeze arrived on Oa and raised some hell because, y'know...
"What's mine is mine
and mine and mine,
And mine, and mine, and mine!
Not yours!"
So what you can gather from that is Larfleeze wants everything. This comic is MINE!

I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Erik is very affectionate, wants lots of attention, and likes to be around wherever his people are. He will "walk" right up your arms by himself, to be held close to your neck and shoulder. He enjoys a good scratching post and a fluffy bed.
Erik was rescued from a shelter in central Virginia after being surrendered by the owner who was moving and could not take the two with him.
Erik was born in August 2012. He is neutered, current on his vaccinations, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and has been micro chipped.
Erik enjoys a good quality kibble (such as chicken and rice formulas) available to snack on all day, and a half-can serving of Fancy Feast wet food twice a day.
Erik, a Merrifield Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Merrifield, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Merrifield.

We have had several calls from members asking for recommendations for training supervisors on recognizing signs of substance abuse in employees and when they should be sent for drug testing.
We have reached out to CAI's Drug-Free Work Place (DFWP) management and testing partner, Professional Drug Screening Services (PDSS), and they have provided information on training they have available. If you are interested in this training for your supervisors, please contact PDSS directly to find out more about this service and associated costs.
PDSS offers DOT-compliant, state, and non-regulated DFWP, reasonable suspicion, and employee drug and alcohol training courses. Each of the top five categories includes both supervisor and employee courses.
"A Supervisor's Guide to Reasonable Suspicion Training" is a two-hour, online course that discusses the testing process, signs and symptoms of drug use, confrontation procedures and much more.

- Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
- Federal Transit Administration (FTA)
- Pipeline & Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA)
- Drug-Free Workplace & Other Regulated Organizations
FAA recurrent and drug-free workplace/other modal courses
The FAA Recurrent Course is specifically designed to meet the FAA requirement of Supervisor Recurrent training every 12 to 18 months by the FAA. The DFWP and other Modal elective courses are suggested by the publisher at least every 24 months.
*DOT courses are mode specific and include rules and guidance from their respective agency. Drug-Free Workplace courses are specifically designed to meet State and accepted corporate guidelines.

|"As much as I abhor violence, I will not shed five tears for when justice is served."
The United States of America ceased to exist this morning.
America's constitutional foundation had been whittled away over decades of judicial abuse and congressional mischief. There had been various rallies to resurrect the republic, to make government obedient to the express written will of The People. Hope reigned as long as the worst of legislative excesses were stalled and glimmers of fidelity were occasionally demonstrated by the Supreme Court.
But when treason comes from those temporarily granted power, countries collapse and move toward one inevitable outcome.
I don't use language loosely. Words powerful as "treason" must be penned with accuracy because the accusation has serious ramifications for the defendant. When evaluating acts of an individual or institution, for those acts to be treasonous they must meet the common definitions. My unabridged dictionary lists three:
The Supreme Court of the United States successfully achieved all three definitions with their ruling on ObamaCare (a.k.a. Affordable Care Act or ACA).
- the offense of acting to overthrow one's government
- a violation of allegiance to one's sovereign or to one's state
- the betrayal of a trust or confidence; breach of faith; treachery
To overthrow a government does not require the force of arms. Subversion of the principles and letter of law suffices. It is inarguable that the Constitution, the express written will of The People, grants congress limited and very specific powers (in too many historical instances the court has unilaterally expanded congressional power, but exhuming and executing corpses of expired justices fails to correct past treasons). Yet nothing in the text of the Constitution permits congress the power to mandate consumption, to force people to commit commerce. To allow such an abuse, to permit congress to force giving money to commercial enterprises under the threat of unequal taxation and subsequent imprisonment for resisting such taxation overthrows our system of government and convicts five Supreme Court justices on one count of treason.
Allegiance to one's state is most profoundly violated when an oath has been made. Oaths are non-trivial for they are public promises of fidelity. When Supreme Court nominees are elevated to the bench, they publicly declare "I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same … I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."
God may not be able to help five justices after today. Breaking one's oath is betrayal. Breaking one's oath to a nation is criminal. Breaking one's oath and in the process engineering the effective overthrow of the government is a perfidy previously unknown in American history and convicts five Supreme Court justices on a second count of treason.
Sadly, we all know how this ends. Not with the whimper of submission by the masses, but the inevitable escalation of free men against those who subvert the Constitution in order to enslave. Predictably it will start with disharmony and devolve into passive resistance. Eventually one man will resist to the point of confrontation with servants who act as his master, and those servants will lay him to waste. It devolves rapidly from there until free men retain their freedom through every means necessary.
As much as I abhor violence, I will not shed five tears for when justice is served.

okay. my boyfriend has only had one real girlfriend in his whole life. I know he probably sounds like a dork. but they actually dated about four years. ya. and I really like him. but I don't know if he really likes me.or if he just wants a girlfriend. please help !
Does he really like me ?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
how long have you been with him? what makes you think that he doesn't like you? sometimes when people were in a long relationship, some feelings stick around. and the key for you is to be his friend, show him that you care and be there for him without asking for too much. naturally, he will start liking you more as the days pass.
the key to any good relationship is sincerity. communication too . but even then, you have to make it clear in a sincere way (no shouting,taking your anger out). anything can be fixed if you love someone enough.00|00|0
What Girls Said 1
communication. But try not to force. guys are sensitive to "the talk." The only way you will ever know what is going inside another person's head is to ask them. :) g/l00|00|0

If you like the idea of walking barefoot in the morning and enjoying the pleasant sensation of having soft, warm sand between your toes or falling asleep to the soothing sound of the sea, consider Posada Punta Piedra Hotel.
Situated literally on the white sugary sands of Tulum beach, this boutique hotel is a more tranquil and less commercial alternative to the large hotels of Playa del Carmen or crowded all-inclusive resorts of Cancun. Yet its location is very convenient to services, several great beach restaurants and at least two excellent gift shops. A must-see attraction – the ancient Tulum ruins are only a 5 minute drive away.
Not many hotels in Tulum have the privilege of offering their guests the same benefits as Posada Punta Piedra Hotel does. This part of the Riviera Maya coastline can be a bit rocky. The isolated stretch of sand is a serious advantage when choosing the right hotel for your perfect beach vacation. But there is more to Posada Punta Piedra than white sands and picture-perfect views of the Caribbean sea.
This intimate and rustic hotel, built with local materials and painted with neutral, creamy tones is a perfect place for those who seek uncluttered simplicity and closeness to nature.
The majority of Posada Punta Piedra hotel rooms feature typical Caribbean palapa roofs and either a private balcony or a porch. You can have an authentic Riviera Maya paradise vacation, including after-dinner hammock siesta naps and nights under the thatched roof that fills the air with a fragrance of a summer's evening.
There is no air conditioning, but fans keep the rooms cool through the night. Each room has a private bathroom and either a king, queen or 2 double beds. Wi-Fi, hot water and 24 hour electricity and daily maid service are also provided.
At Posada Punta Piedra Hotel, you won't have to worry about anything, except for unwinding, swimming, sunbathing, snorkeling, and spending some quality time with people you love. If you are lucky, you might even witness sea turtles coming up on the Tulum beach to lay their eggs, or help one of the baby turtles find its way to the ocean. It is truly a lifetime experience.

The importance of good planning and solid strategies to win battles in Clash of Clans
The best Combat Strategies
Clans clash is a strategy game of combat created by Supercell for mobile devices in which you will be immersed in a title of Lord of the same town, so you can perform multiple actions to govern it and, as such, will be your mission to make that village that you start to become the largest and most powerful of all the game city.
Strategies of Combat
In particular, the actions that you can take along this idle application are:
Building: is the main objective of the game it is necessary to carry out this activity in order to advance in it and create an efficient and impassable city defended by the best structures, even, of massacring the best rival offensive troops.
The types of buildings that we can establish are diverse, among which we can find offensive, defensive buildings, research or resources. In addition, fit to highlight the figures of the barbarian King and la Arquera Queen, free games codes, that will be quite interesting both in defence and in attack, with the mere fact of his presence giving us a considerable advantage over the enemy.
Attack enemies: it is also an action that should be performed always, since it is of the best ways to get resources to grow and, moreover, is one of the two sources of obtaining trophies, which are indispensable for Ascend's League and add posts on the leaderboard. At first, you will use to attack troops quite weak (in particular on level 1), but as the game you will have to face very powerful enemies with troops quite resistant and harmful.
You should always choose well the objective that loot, since you can find cities impressively defensive which are not cost-effective in view of losses posed. In addition, the game also gives us an option PVE where we can end towns of goblins and get an interesting resource amount, as well as star to complete achievements related to the.

Good Friday Morning ladies
Just waking up here and haven't got the kids up yet so I thought I'd post real quick. After getting the kids up and ready and taken to school I need to stop by the bank and deposit some money into our account, then need to run clear across town to take Sara to her doctor's appointment, she won't be going to school today, she called me to come get her from school yesterday early because she wasn't feeling good, she was throwing up and still doesn't feel good so I made a doctor's appointment yesterday so we can get her on something to get her feeling better, hopefully she doesn't give it to me or any of her siblings. So today is yet another busy day, seems to be that way every day in the Fritch family.

WASHINGTON ŌĆō There is a lot of smoke, but the question is whereŌĆÖs the fire?
You can call it paranoia; you can call it the boy who called wolf; or you can say it is Chicken Little, but the American International Automobile Dealers Assn. is convinced the very livelihood of dealers selling import brands is in danger.
Last week, leaders of the trade association along with members of the Association of International Automobile Manufacturers (AIAM) and Americans for Free International Trade PAC gathered here at the first International Auto Industry Summit to lay out what they perceive to be the greatest threats.
Other than the alternative minimum tax, which Congress may try to increase next year, the issues about which AIADA is sounding the alarm are not new. However, because of the current Democratic-controlled Congress, there is a sense of urgency not seen since the mid-1990s.
Attempts to increase the corporate average fuel economy (CAFE), the rhetoric against free trade and the perceived possibility that politicians, in order to protect or help American businesses, may create a more difficult environment for foreign companies, such as auto makers, concern AIADA leaders.
But it appears there is a lot of smoke with little fire at the moment. Democrats in Congress this year have shown little desire to accomplish any real legislation.
Republican Rep. John Campbell, a former California dealer, cautions AIADA members not to be fooled.
ŌĆ£The Democrats are waiting this year out,ŌĆØ he says. ŌĆ£This Congress likely wonŌĆÖt pass much legislation in the next two years.ŌĆØ
The strong possibility of a Democrat being elected president along with 61 seats open in the House of Representatives means there may be a better political climate in which to accomplish their agenda, says Campbell.
AIADAŌĆÖs leadership is not waiting to light a fire under its members.
Jim Press, president-Toyota Motor North America Inc. and this yearŌĆÖs AIAM chairman, begins the urgent rhetoric during a reception at the summit, saying this yearŌĆÖs ŌĆ£Congress was elected on the back of protectionism.ŌĆØ
Press also takes several sarcastic swipes at Congress for suggesting auto makers should increase CAFE of their fleets 4% a year for perpetuity.
A few minutes later, AIADA Chairman and California dealer John Hawkins tosses his prepared notes and instead opts for more fiery language telling attendees, ŌĆ£Bad things can happen very quickly. Our friends on Capitol Hill are hell bent on having a hanging,ŌĆØ he says of the CAFE debate. ŌĆ£If they lose an auto maker in the process, so be it.ŌĆØ
About the politicians discussing such a scenario, Hawkins says, ŌĆ£They are so unrealistic, you donŌĆÖt even know where to start the dialogue. Environmentalism has become a religion. People in Washington are worshiping at the temple of climate reform and Al Gore is the high priest.ŌĆØ
Don Beyer, who owns franchises in northern Virginia and who served as last yearŌĆÖs AIADA chairman, smiles when he hears HawkinsŌĆÖ comments. One of the few dealers who is a Democrat, Beyer says he is used to the Republican-friendly rhetoric.
Taking a more moderate position, Beyer points out, ŌĆ£If we had raised CAFE 2% several years ago when we had the chance, then we wouldnŌĆÖt have to raise it 4% now.ŌĆØ
Meanwhile, Jack Fitzgerald, another Virginia dealer known for his ŌĆ£greenŌĆØ initiatives tells WardŌĆÖs, ŌĆ£We have to raise CAFE. We just canŌĆÖt be so reckless about it.ŌĆØ
Mike Stanton, AIAM president and CEO is resigned to a CAFE increase, but argues for some flexibility. ŌĆ£Congress is just picking a number,ŌĆØ he says. ŌĆ£If you pick the number, at least give us an off ramp.ŌĆØ
The following day, the Senate Commerce committee approves a bill requiring auto makers to improve fuel efficiency by 4% annually beginning in 2011 and average 35 mpg (132.4 L/100 km) by 2020. Following 2020, 4% gains would be expected annually without a set timeframe.
The bill might make it to the Senate floor in June.
Campbell urges the auto industry not to play defense on CAFE. He also says the industry cannot keep saying, ŌĆ£No,ŌĆØ to government solutions. Instead, auto makers and dealers need to get in the game and start offering alternatives.
Campbell is sponsoring a bill he calls the Drive Act, which allows the government to approach reducing dependence on oil in ways that makes sense, but he says he needs the help of the auto industry.
ŌĆ£My objective here is to get an unified auto industry to offer an alternative other than increasing CAFE,ŌĆØ Campbell says.

Free Access to Your FICO® Score
Why am I seeing my FICO® Score?
America First's mission is to help you develop & maintain financial well-being. Knowing and understanding your FICO® Score is an important part of achieving your personal goals.
Will receiving my score from America First impact my credit?
No. We provide your FICO® Score as a free benefit that does not affect your credit in any way.
What is a credit score?
It's a three-digit snapshot of your credit file at one of the three major consumer reporting agencies—Equifax, Experian and TransUnion—that is compiled at a particular time. It provides financial companies with information to make lending decisions. It also influences your interest rate & other loan terms.
How do lenders use FICO® Scores?
Your score allows lenders to gauge your credit risk quickly, consistently, and objectively. Basically, it assists them in assessing how likely you are to meet your financial obligations, considering what you've actually borrowed and paid back.
The Five Key Ingredients
1. Payment history:
Approximately 35% is based on this data, which includes:
- Credit cards, retail accounts, installment loans & finance company loans.
- Reports of public record and collection items: bankruptcies, foreclosures, lawsuits, wage attachments, liens & judgments.
- Details on late or missed payments, also known as delinquencies.
- The number of accounts showing no late payments or paid as agreed.
2. Amounts you owe:
About 30% evaluates how much debt you have:
- Amount owed on all of your accounts.
- What you owe on different account types.
- Whether you show balances on certain accounts.
- The number of accounts with balances.
- The percentage of your total credit line (credit cards & other revolving accounts) in use.
- How much you owe on your installment accounts, compared with the original loan amounts.
3. Credit history:
15% is about this topic. A more extensive credit history generally increases your score.
- How long your accounts have been open, including the age of your oldest and the total average age.
- How long specific credit accounts have been established.
- How long it has been since you used certain accounts.
4. New credit:
10% is calculated by this information. Research shows that opening several credit accounts in a short time period represents greater risk.
- How many accounts you opened.
- How long since you acquired a new account.
- How many recent requests for credit you've made.
- The last time lenders inquired about credit.
- If you have a good recent credit history, despite any past payment problems.
5. Types of credit in use:
FICO® Scores are about 10% related to your mix of credit cards, retail accounts, installment loans, finance company accounts & mortgages. It's not necessary to have one of each.
- What kind of credit accounts you have & if they are comprised of both revolving (credit cards) and installment (fixed amounts and payments).
- How many account types you have.
How can my FICO® Score help me?
- You'll get credit faster. Scores help lenders speed up approvals.
- Lending decisions are fair. Companies can focus on the facts related to your borrowing risk, rather than their personal opinions or biases.
- Older credit problems do not count as much as more recent ones.
- A higher score can save you significantly on loan terms, including interest rates.
From which credit reporting agency are you getting my score?
The score provided by America First is the Fico® Score 2 based on Experian data.
What is typically a good score?
It varies by the institution. For example, an auto lender may offer lower interest rates to people with FICO® Scores above 680, another may use 720, and so on.
What is the range of scores?
The score provided by America First is the FICO® Score 2 based on Experian data, which has a range between 300 and 850.
What are the minimum requirements for a score?
To calculate a score, your credit file must contain:
- At least one account that has been open for six months or more.
- At least one account that has been reported to the credit agency within the last six months.
- No indication of a deceased notation on your credit file (if you share an account with someone and the other is reported as deceased, it's important to check and ensure you are not affected).
Why are my scores at each of the reporting agencies different?
Your FICO® Score is calculated separately by each of the three CRAs using a formula FICO® has developed. It's normal for your score at the three agencies to be slightly different.
What are my score's key factors?
When a lender receives your FICO® Score, key factors are also delivered. Take a close look at them to help you understand your finances. Addressing some or all of these topics can help you manage your financial health over time.
What's an inquiry?
When you apply for credit, you authorize those lenders to obtain a copy of your report from an agency, creating an inquiry. The only inquiries relevant to your score are credit checks when you've applied for new loans.
How are inquiries judged?
FICO® Scores take into account only voluntary (hard) inquiries that result from your application for credit. Typically, inquiries carry less importance than late payments, amounts owed & your history.
Does my score alone determine whether I get credit?
No. Lenders will look at your score, the amount of debt you can reasonably handle given your income, your employment history, your credit history & other variables.
Keep in mind:
- Developing financial health takes time, so the sooner you get started, the better.
- Those who have a moderate number of open credit accounts have a lower risk.
- People who always pay their bills on time are more favorable to lenders.
- Collections and delinquent payments, even if only a few days late, can have major effects on scores.
- Older credit problems are less detrimental than recent ones.
- If you find yourself in need, seeking financial assistance from America First will not harm your credit.
- High outstanding credit card debt has negative consequences.
- Paying down total revolving debt, rather than moving it from one credit card to another, is always a good idea.
- People with no credit cards tend to be more risky than those who have handled these accounts responsibly.
How long will negative information remain on my credit file?
It depends on the type of negative information, but here's a breakdown:
- Late payments: seven years.
- Bankruptcies: seven years for a completed Chapter 13 & 10 years for Chapter 7 and 11.
- Foreclosures: seven years.
- Collections: about seven years, depending on the debt's age.
- Public records: usually seven years, although unpaid tax liens can stay there indefinitely.
More Questions?
FICO® Scores are intended for and delivered only to the primary account holders and only if a FICO® Score is available. Disclosure of this score is not available for all products and America First Credit Union may change or discontinue this benefit at our discretion.

mcbecca Review
cosy comforter
I'm pretty sure the product description said the wool was organic but the actual label says only the cotton cover is. While one of the reasons I picked this blanket was that it is handmade in the USA there is one side where the stitching looks homemade/ possibly repaired and the wool has moved around so there are patches of cover only. That said, it is big, warm, local and at least mostly organic s o I would recommend. Plus it shipped really quick.

I met her a while ago she might have been giving me sines to make a move but I can never tell what girls are thinking. She seemed cool we laughed together even leaned on me. One day I was alone and said why are you always alone you can hangout with me and my sister. She ask help a lot but still we don't know each other too well I like her and I'm not scared of rejection but I have never dated and don't know what to expect. I also don't know how to make sure she is entertained and make it an a awesome date what are good date ideas In college? I just feel like I'm too inexperienced with girls for my age but we seem to get along. Would it be a good thing to take her out on Valentine's day?
Most Helpful Girl
Do it. If you don't I swear I will actually feel guilty. Even if you get rejected you should still do it. I highly doubt this girl will give you a hard rejection. And even if she does you can still be friends. Here's what happened to me-my crush found out I liked him. At the time he didn't have feelings for me. We stayed friends, although things were a bit awkward for me, but not so much for him. now we've been dating for a year. So what I'm trying to say is that even if you get rejected, it isn't the end. Trust me it's not the end until she gets married and has children with some other person. Go. For. It. You cannot miss this chance! Good luck!00|00|0

Educación Preescolar y Rendimiento Escolar en las Escuelas Públicas de Montevideo
In this paper we try to explain the academic performance of a sample of children starting their first year at public schools in 1999 in Montevideo, Uruguay. We are mainly interested in the effect of pre-school education on the children's academic results. We found fairly strong empirical evidence suggesting that pre-school education has significant short and long-term positive effect on these children's results. We also found that other factors connected with schools and with households lie behind children's short-term and long-term performance. It is also important to note that the results for boys are clearly differentiated from those for girls.

Well. Here goes my first BLOG post that doesn't include pictures made out of characters. I am actually so darn tired that I can't really be stuffed writing 1000 pages worth of this stuff. So, I will tell you guys a funny moment that I experienced not so long ago.
So, for Christmas I recieved a computer/graphics/whatever you want to call it tablet. Now, every X-mas, my Nan rings me up to ask what I got. This year it went a little bit differently:
Nan: So, what did you get for Christmas this year?
Me: I got a tablet.
Nan: A tablet? Are you sick?
Me: No, a computer tablet.
Nan: A computer tablet? Is the computer sick? (Bless her, only learnt how to turn a computer on yesterday.)
Me: No, as in a tablet that lets you draw on the computer.
Nan: You can draw on the computer? Wow. Back in my day, we didn't have electronics....(proceeds to tell me about her life and waste an hours worth of phone credit.)
So. What did you guys get for Christmas and were there any funny events that happened during this holiday? Sorry that it's kinda late (March, lol.)

McLaughlin to get MS honor
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society will honor trainer Kiaran McLaughlin at its 2006 Dinner of Champions, to be held on Oct. 12 at Churchill Downs.
Among the honorary chairmen for the event will be Hall of Fame trainer
D. Wayne Lukas, under whom McLaughlin worked for seven years, reigning two-time Eclipse Award-winning trainer Todd Pletcher, and retired Hall of Fame rider Gary Stevens.
McLaughlin is the trainer of this year's Belmont Stakes winner, Jazil, as well as leading handicap horse Invasor and top 3-year-old sprinter Henny Hughes. McLaughlin, 45, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1998 while he was working for Sheikh Mohammed's Godolphin Racing, splitting his time between Dubai and the United States. He suffered a setback in February 1999, when he developed blurred vision and needed a cane to walk. For the last seven years, he has taken a daily shot of Copaxone to keep the disease - a chronic, unpredictable neurological disease that affects the central nervous system - under control.
"It takes a strong will to overcome the daily challenges that come while living with MS," said Doug Dressman, president of the National MS Society Chapter. "Kiaran has obviously dedicated himself to being successful not only as a trainer, but also as an advocate and support system for others affected by MS."

Obviously, you didn't buy your Elantra Coupe unless you knew that you wanted a great manufacturer's warranty and dependability both rolled up into one vehicle. Hyundai automobile enthusiasts have grown accustomed to a certain level of best-in-class value when driving their Elantra Coupe around town. While it's not hard to locate replacement parts for Hyundai vehicles, these days only the highest quality are required to fix your automobile. Anyone who owns a Hyundai knows that when it comes to repairing their car, truck, or SUV only the most superior replacement parts will do.
If we only drove in straight lines, then none of our vehicles would need any steering components. Inspired by our own human body, the Hyundai Elantra Coupe ball joint resembles the ball and socket joint that connects our upper arm to our shoulder. Connected to our control arms, ball joints are a vast improvement over king pins; which pivoted the front spindles left and right but did not allow for any movement inward or outward. Moving away from the limited motion of simply two directions, ball joints provide room for your spindles to wobble or pivot up and down.
Bring your Elantra Coupe back to life with the highest quality replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Don't let a Ball Joint repair spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by installing anything but the highest quality repair parts. Procuring new Hyundai parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement Elantra Coupe parts on the internet. If your car or truck was built in 2014, 2013, then you will find the correct Hyundai Elantra Coupe Ball Joint parts right here.

Our customer has Lexmark C792DE still in warranty. Since new it has strange blue toner cartridges issue: when new blue toner cartridge is installed, everything is fine until approx. 25% of toner is used. After that it starts leaking (blueish spots on paper). It happened with 4 consequent cartridges already. Toner has to be replaced.
Local Lexmark authorized service center checked the printer and claims everything is fine with the printer and cartridges are to blame. However it is strange for me that 4 consequent cartridges would be defective? Cartridges are original Lexmark.
Customer is not happy and either am I. Anyone has a wild guess what else could be an issue?

Being honest, can't be faulty cartridges one after the other, you state its still under warranty, get it replaced.

Brand Representative for Coast to Coast
Hi, unfortunately this is quite typical. There could be a few factors, one: are you over the recommended duty cycle? Two: Have you replaced the waste bottle? Three: That model is about 3 years old, so it might be time to trade 'er in.
Lexmark does have a loyalty program should you decide to upgrade to another Lexmark.

Margarita Gluzberg AVENUE DES GOBELINS Paradise Row 3 As far back as 1992 Margarita Gluzberg walked down Bond Street in the West End of London, camera in hand, taking black and white photographs of exclusive shop fronts and people in front of them window shopping. From this point on one of her central interests has been the psychological dimension of consumer culture and an exploration of the manner in which consumers are affected by desire and the promise inherent in the luxury object intermediated by the gaze; the way in which viewers look at images of people. Gluzberg however cannot be categorised as a photographer, more as an artist who uses photography sometimes because her practice follows several different trajectories. She is well known for her large- scale drawings as much as for her performance and sound works as well as painting and photography. In her recent body of work Avenue des Gobelins, Gluzberg also employs video as part of a series of works that are structured around her use of the carousel slide projector, analogue and mechanical technology. Gluzberg's utilisation of retro technology is apparent in her earlier work The Captive Bird Society that she describes as 'a sonic and visual landscape' and which includes about a dozen old style record players playing vinyl recordings of bird song. The recordings play out as metaphors for notions of entrapment and desire that characterise constraints in society that Gluzberg wants to highlight in this work. The relationship between the impression of the bird as an archetypical free creature and the strangle- hold consumer culture (in this instance haute couture fashion) has on the up market shopper.

There are always a few stretches in the watchmakers timeline that are highlighted to remind them when the timepieces were actually produced.

High quality Gucci replica sunglasses are worth the purchase, you can save a lot of money on him.Coach Scarves Before wristwatches became ubiquitous in our society, pocket watches were the standard for personal timekeeping. The first pocket watch is thought to have been made in Germany towards the end of the fifteenth century. Bearing a close resemblance to the traditional clock, early pocket watches operated in very much the same manner as their clock cousins. The Brand signature double-G sunglasses was reissued and after that, many fashion houses promoted initialized lines of sunglassess, among these counting Versace, Valentino or Dolce & Gabbana. These double-G sunglassess are the favorite ones among all stylish people worldwide.

Surgeons Removing More Than 20 TOOTHBRUSHES From Patient's Stomach
A bizarre and truly gruesome video has emerged online of the moment a patient had more than 20 toothbrushes surgically removed from the their stomach.
The vomit-inducing clip shows a surgeon cutting into the skin before delving inside the gut and pulling out each brush, one at a time.
A seemingly never-ending stream of brushes are then extracted from the stomach, with more than 20 being removed and placed in a bowl next to the operating table.
The original video appears to have been uploaded to YouTube by Sumesh Sukumaran on March 27.
Not much is known about the footage, and it is unclear how the patient came to have so many toothbrushes stuffed inside his gut.
The stomach-churning clip has also been shared on LiveLeak.com, where it has been viewed more than 12,000 times in 11 hours.
Another added: "I sit here counting and laughing at this, but seriously he's one of those people who can't stop swallowing things.
"But can you imagine swallowing your toothbrush?"

If you later try to run it inside 2.2.0-2.2.4 (something like this), then yo will get a load error, because those older 2.2.x versions don't have the needed symbols. If you build against an old 2.2.x like 2.2.3, this can not happen. Running later with a more recent 2.2.x version is no problem. So if you have a very recent 2.2.x on your build system but want to ensure, that the binary will run also with an older 2.2.x version, then you should add --enable-api-compatibility. The only feature which varies depending on the switch is the chosen form of internal version reporting between mod_jk and httpd. Not something really important to the users. In short: when compiling against 2.2.3 the switch will not change anything at all, but when compiling distribution bins it is a good idea to activate it in general. Thanks for asking.

It was advertised as a historic day. On 8 March, the centenary of International Women's Day, India's governing coalition planned to present the country with a constitutional amendment reserving 33% of the seats for women in national and state legislatures. However, it was not to be. The failure of the amendment to pass was dubbed by the law minister a national day of shame, as a few unruly members of Parliament, particularly in the Rajya Sabha, created such a ruckus that the House had to be adjourned six times.
The Bill was adopted in the Rajya Sabha the next day, with the government promising to bring further amendments. But it has also exposed the widening gap within the governing allies, and it is likely to be a close race in the Lok Sabha.
Increasing women's participation in politics sounds like a fine idea in principle. But its implementation would have grave consequences for the quality of India's governance and political culture.
A comfortable majority in Parliament professes to support the Women's Reservation Bill, with dominant parties on both sides of the political divide in favour. However, the truth is that many members are apprehensive about the consequences. And that opposition can't be explained away as simply the vested interest of male politicians.
First of all, the justifications for the amendment don't stand up to scrutiny. If there is indeed political and social support for greater participation of women in politics, nothing prevents political parties from choosing more female candidates. Nor would reservations somehow change the status of women in the country—some of the worst forms of discrimination against women continued to take place even after Indira Gandhi became prime minister in the 1960s. And finally, outstanding women leaders such as Jayalalithaa in Tamil Nadu and Mamata Banerjee in West Bengal have come up on their own through persistence and political acumen. In the name of empowering women, the Bill is very paternalistic, believing that women cannot make it in politics on their own.
More importantly, the Bill poses a threat to the nature of India's representative democracy. While the reservation of a few seats for certain castes might be accepted as a temporary anomaly necessary to correct historic wrongs, a reservation for such a broad section of the population undermines India's "first past the post" electoral system. The Bill moves India towards a proportional representation system dividing the population on sectional lines. This is a change from the basic design of the Constitution, and the debates in the Constituent Assembly, when the notion of separate electorates was considered and rejected.
In the current system, parliamentary constituencies comprise a wide range of people, forcing candidates to build a social and political coalition to have a reasonable chance of winning the election. It is this tendency to bridge the sectional divide among the population that has been the hallmark of Indian democracy, where diversity has only strengthened the political institutions.
If India is to tread the path towards ensuring representation according to the diversity of the population, by adopting a kind of proportional electoral system, then the social coalition will inevitably break down, leading to increased political instability. The demand for a sectional quota within the women's quota would be a logical step in that direction. And the next step could be to demand political reservation for men as well along sectional lines. This would signal the end of the idea of India.
Accountability to voters will also be reduced. At one stroke, by rotating the constituencies reserved for women, an enormous political churning will be triggered. Legislators who have built up their own independent base of support within their constituencies will be forced out of office. Two-thirds of the sitting members of the legislature may have to surrender their seats under a rotational reservation for women. In effect, this will disempower the voter, and reduce the incentive for elected representatives to be seriously concerned with the issues affecting their constituencies.
Party leaders stand to benefit the most from a system where the voters are not in a position to assess the performance of their representative. The parties will have to constantly put forward new candidates, and these are chosen by the leaders—there is no inner party democracy in India. Hiding behind the fairer sex, entrenched party leaders are solidifying their authority over backbenchers.
This represents an extension of the anti-defection law passed by the Congress government of Rajiv Gandhi in 1986, when it had an unprecedented majority in Parliament. Under this law, a legislator is required to vote along party lines or face disqualification from Parliament. That spelt the end of meaningful parliamentary debate. Now Sonia Gandhi is attempting to push through a constitutional amendment that deals another body blow to representative democracy. At a time when the rest of the world is beginning to appreciate the Indian democratic miracle, it is ironic indeed that the country's own political leadership is seeking to change its democratic character to further its own narrow interests.
