Credit Card Insider is your resource for unbiased consumer and commercial lending options. We are advocates of the responsible use of credit, building and managing your credit history, and making informed decisions when selecting a credit card.
Credit Card Insider was created as a resource for consumers, by consumers. As a trusted resource, complete with curated content from industry experts, we felt compelled to build and deliver a world class experience where consumers could safely research, compare, and apply for a credit card.
It's our mission to provide actionable advice and content to help you understand credit and take it into your own hands. We're always here to help you if you have any questions, and if we don't know the answer we'll find it. If there are any ways you think we could do a better job with this mission, let us know.
The amount of credit card related information can be overwhelming. It's our goal to present this collection of knowledge into an easy to understand, plain-english way. From our 'Best of' articles to individual card reviews, our team is here for you.
We have access to the best industry experts in the areas of personal finance, credit, and credit cards. We're able to confidently and accurately assign different Editor's Ratings to all of the credit cards that we cover. This means that you can feel confident knowing that we've done our due diligence to ensure you find the perfect card for your financial and lifestyle.
We want to help you understand credit and debt and how to use cards responsibly.
It's our promise to you to ensure all of our editoral content is unbiased and accurate.
Our content is presented to our visitors in a way that is not influenced by financial motivation.
Credit Card Insider has been featured in the leading US news outlets, calling upon our credit and personal finance expertise.
We rate cards relative to each other. The best cards offer the lowest interest rates, the lowest fees, and the most/best benefits; the worst have the opposite. Most cards fall somewhere in-between. Advertiser relationships do not in any way affect our rating of cards, how we choose cards for our "Best" editor's picks, or the order in which cards appear on a page.
Card type is one of the biggest factors in a card's estimation, as it only makes sense to compare travel cards to other travel cards, student cards to other student cards, and so on. Cash back cards are rated based on how much cash back can be earned and for what kinds of purchases, for example. Secured cards are expected to have a lower credit requirement and provide fewer benefits, so this is not held against them. Other card types are also judged according to their particular intent.
Extra card benefits tend to be similar across cards: extended warranties, travel insurance, concierge service, etc. The differences are in the types of benefits and the extent of the service. For example, the travel insurance of one card may provide coverage up to $1,000, while another card may provide coverage up to $10,000.
Interest rates can vary greatly for purchases and balance transfers, but they are usually similar for cash advances. A one or two point difference in interest rates is not seen as significant, but introductory 0% APR's are seen as quite valuable.
Some penalties and fees are normal for credit and charge cards. Strict, severe penalties for late payments and other infractions are not necessarily bad, as they can be avoided, but these will lower a card's worth compared to more forgiving cards with similar rates and benefits.
If a card is difficult to get, such as requiring a high credit rating, and it also offers relatively bad terms, it will fall farther down on the rating scale. But if a card is difficult to get but offers great terms, the difficulty will not count against it because it is exclusive for a good reason.
The opinions of our resident expert John Ulzheimer and the general public also weigh into the rating of a card. These can include any and all of the experiences people are having with the card: reports about the quality of customer service, whether it works as it should, surprises in store for cardholders, etc.
Advertiser relationships do not in any way affect our rating of cards when comparing them to each other, or when choosing cards for our "Best" editor's picks.

Without question, the most common technical use of DB Audit Expert is to
keep tabs on privileged account activities. Privileged accounts represent an
enormous threat to enterprises because these accounts can breach personal data,
complete unauthorized transactions, cause denial-of-service attacks, and hide
activity by deleting audit data.
Privileged accounts associated with database ownership are required for
emergency access scenarios as well as more mundane day-to-day tasks. While
important, they are notoriously difficult to secure because they don't belong
to real users and are usually shared by multiple administrators. In a down
economy, privileged accounts represent a prime attack vector for disgruntled
Control of privileged accounts is at the top of the auditor's list, and is
an essential component of compliance mandates associated with Sarbanes-Oxley,
the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC), and HIPAA. If those mandates aren't enough, many
business partners are asking for a review of controls associated with
privileged accounts as part of their Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) 70
DB Audit Expert is an ideal tool for PRIVILEGED ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT. It can help identify and mitigate risks associated with elevated access,provide granular audit reports, assist in meeting compliance mandates, and enable an organization to pass its SAS 70 reviews.

Environment Canada's Science Strategy
Environment Canada's Science Strategy 2014-2019 is a major milestone for the Department, as it represents a truly department-wide strategy for Environment Canada's science. The Strategy sets out a vision, mission and principles that represent common goals across the entire Department to better integrate science into the decision-making process and delivery of the Departmental mandate.
Measuring Environment Canada's Research and Development Performance
Measuring Environment Canada's Research and Development Performance (2014)
Science is the foundation of Environment Canada's work. Research and development (R&D) supports many of the Department's science-based functions, including its legislative obligations, commitment to be a world class regulator, enforcement activities, weather services and policy development. R&D is an integral component of the Department's science; as such, regular assessment is important.
The objective of this report is to provide an updated assessment of Environment Canada's R&D performance. The report establishes baseline measures of R&D performance according to the principles of Environment Canada's Science Strategy 2014-2019: Relevance, Transparency, Responsiveness, Excellence and Collaboration.

In the heady world of forex trading, support and resistance are two phrases bandied around readily and form the basis of many trading decisions. However, for any newcomer into the world of dealing currency, the terms can seem confusing and of no help whatsoever. Below are the tricks of the trade and everything a beginner needs to know on the subject.
The easiest way to look at support and resistance is by plotting a currency's performance on a chart. Over a period of time, it will become obvious that a certain level is its baseline below which is doesn't seem to drop. That level is known as the support – in other words the lowest point at which the market trades for the currency. At the other end of the scale, there will be a high point, a level which the currency does not seem to break through. This is known as the resistance level. Easy so far?
OK, this is where it can sometimes become a little bit confusing. When a currency continues to hit its support level, traders are likely to decide to sell, a move which devalues the currency further causing it to break through its support level. When this happens, the new support level becomes known as a resistance level. Likewise, when a resistance level is breached, it becomes the new support level.
However, sometimes resistance and support level breaches can be deceiving with investors merely dipping their toes in the water and the values quickly slip back within the expected band range.
The other factor to consider is timescales. Resistance and support levels will look very different when considering the market over a day, a week or even a month. The strongest levels are those which have stood the test of time and it is these levels which will be of most help to a trader trying to predict the market.
There are many different ways to measure support and resistance levels but one of the key facts to take on board, no matter what is used is that investors like neat figures. Therefore, levels of 00, 25 and 50 are often key indicators with 00 often being the most important.
Traders can, and often do, spend years developing a dealing strategy so it would be impossible to cover all aspects. However, every strategy incorporates the fundamentals of support and resistance and for this, forex information is absolutely vital as without this, a trader would be effectively doing no more than taking pot shots in the dark.

Chapter 1
By the end of sun set water stay still but winds blew steady. James headed back to the house that gave him comfort and security. Opening the creaking door to see all the lights were out. Straight through the dark flies a cat, clawing up his face. "Who brought this idiot in here?"
"James you know better than to yell during sleep time", said Tom
"Why is there a stupid cat in here?" said James as he wiped his face to see blood smeared across his hand.
"Well as I was having a pleasant walk back from the mine fields, there was a familiar sound coming from the distance. I stumbled around searching for the source and my eye caught on to this big crack, which was much larger than the others, so I crept up to it and saw glowing eyes. I figured it had to be a cat and brought it right back here."
"That's a touching story, really" said James
"You know James, sarcasm is ignorance best friend. Don't be an ignoramus."
James became tired of his Fathers words and by the time daylight broke he stood at the front door looking around feeling this would be the last time home would exist for him. The road up ahead had a bus stop that went to anywhere and everywhere James wanted to be as long as that didn't bring him back home.
The world is an open adventure and James is wasting no time setting out to find his life story. He decided no matter where that bus was headed he would take a leap and find where it takes him.
"James, hello?" said Tom looking around the house expecting his son to be home for three more hours. Then he found a folded up paper on the coach, creased up vellum smelling like pencil dust. The headline said (finding me). "Dear dad I left this way to keep things from becoming complicated because I know that if I would have said bye I would not be on my way to an adventure.
The water calls me, ocean sounds are the only thing that can sooth my disturbed mind. To think I have never been outside of this city is ridiculous. We have traveled for about five minutes and already nothing looks familiar.
Arriving to Medford Massachusetts the train came to a stop and outside bags full of oranges were being handed out. James sat there thinking, "That is weird. Who gives away free fruit?"
Jumping to the platform James began approaching this woman with the oranges who caught his attention before the train had even reached the station.
He began to walk towards her, long brown hair blowing through the afternoon air covering half her face. He got even closer and the sun was setting as she faced towards the west, light hit her face showing concern and great distress while begging passers to buy.
He approached her and she began to blurt out the same words when he stopped her.
"What is wrong beautiful?" asked James
"Oh I don't think so" said the woman
"Get out of here your joking right; you can't be insecure with such a perfect complexion." Said James
"Please either buy some oranges or leave me alone" said the woman
"I'll buy every bag so I can speak with you" James smiled as she did the same.
It was completely dark when they had finished there conversation. James asked her about town and she gave descriptions that really put a picture in your head. He went down the stairs almost falling because of 10:30pm.

Alert reader Jim Burch of Tuscaloosa sent in a letter recently that deserves an answer.
He writes:
Dear Editor: On 28 January 2009, the Greene County Independent published an editorial with the by line of Representative Artis McCampbell titled, �It is time for action to boost the economy�. On 29 January 2009, The Tuscaloosa News published �My Turn / Chris England� with the title, �Alabama�s economy will get better�.
One of the letters is plagiarized. With the exception of the titles, they are identical, word for word. Now maybe I am naive, but ethics dictate that any article published with an attributable name should have been written by that person. So, I am confused; did every representative in the state publish the same letter? Did every Democrat representative in the state publish the same letter? Did the State Democrat Party write the article and the representatives take credit for being the author? Was the policy of the Tuscaloosa News �not to publish letters sent elsewhere� violated?
The constituents of the respective representatives have a right to know. I and your readers are waiting impatiently to discover the true author of the article and compliment him on an informative and well written article.
Good questions, Jim. And you are right, we published a column credited to England that is identical to one credited to McCampbell in the Greene County Independent. A Google search found that at least one other newspaper in the state � The Jacksonville News � also published it, crediting it to their local legislator, Rep. Lea Fite, D-Calhoun.
Dana Beyerle, our Montgomery bureau chief, did some digging. The piece came from the House Democratic Caucus, which distributed it to all its members. Neither House Majority Leader Ken Guin nor the staff of caucus he heads would tell Beyerle who specifically wrote the article.
I agree that this misled readers. It misled us. For our part, we should have checked more closely, asking England if he wrote the piece himself. We do that routinely with letters to the editor and columns submitted by the public.
Are House members who sent out the article with their own names attached guilty of plagiarism? Yes, but plagiarism of this sort � using a �ghost writer� � is very common. Politicians have aides. Business executives have public relations staff. Even judge�s opinions often are drafted by law clerks. All sorts of published material credit to one person is actually written by another.
Still, the press � this newspaper � cares that readers expect better transparency from us than you might find in other places.
Legislators at all levels submit columns to newspapers of all sizes. You see them published more frequently in smaller community newspapers that don�t have the resources for staff-written or syndicated columns. We print columns like these infrequently. When they are the legislators� own words they can serve a worthwhile function, as reports from elected representatives back to the citizens who elected them.
I called Kelly McBride, an expert on journalism ethics at the Poynter Institute � a journalism think-tank. She said letters and columns published on opinion pages should �further the conversation� and �give voice to a variety of viewpoints.� And legislators� columns can do that.
They fail, however, when the columns are simply widely distributed talking points or when letters to the editor are part of an special-interest e-mail campaign, McBride said.
I think that�s right. When we publish letters and columns, we should ask those who submit them if they are the actual authors. If they come from a widely distributed source, it calls into question how much they add to the discussion we try to convene on our opinion pages. If the legislator or agency executive had some help, we should reflect that in the credit line at the end of the column.
Readers like Mr. Burch expect high standards for credibility and transparency from us. I hope folks will continue to raise tough questions and get straight answers. That�s what journalism is all about.
Doug Ray is executive editor of The Tuscaloosa News. Reach him by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
DOUG RAY: Ghost-written column was misleading

The Princess Leia Gold Bikini Costume From Etsy
Iconic Geek Halloween Costume: The Princess Leia Gold Bikini
As one of the many who's over the Halloween-as-opportunity-to-dress-trashy trend, I'd never push an ultrarevealing Halloween costume. Unless, of course, it's revealing for authenticity's sake, as is the case with the Holy Grail of sexy geek outfits: the Princess Leia gold bikini.
This handmade costume from Etsy pulls out all the stops, including making the metal-look bikini "top" out of sculpted clay and wire. It's $295 for the whole thing, which is pretty crazy for a costume, but if you're wearing this, you're already pulling out all the stops.
Sure, it's a bit early to be talking about Halloween, but if it's one of your favorite holidays (like it is for me), it's never to early to plan a truly knock-'em-dead Halloween costume.

Kids can be leaders in innovative hunger relief, too! We are constantly inspired by the enthusiasm and generosity of kids in our community. Some (like Elle, or Campbell and Joe Thomas) ask for donations instead of gifts for their birthdays. Like the Riehs, they and their families host food and fund drive parties. Some, like William, even ask grocery stores for partnership and get community support!
Food and Fund Drives
Here's a list of the items we need most — for BackPack Buddies and School Pantries. We cannot accept prepared food unless it is prepared in a commercial kitchen. Food and fund drives are great ways to teach kids about hunger and show them that they can have an impact!
Want a new idea for celebrating your child's birthday? Invite the kids to bring BackPack Buddies food items. Let us know when you drop off the food and we'll send your child a special thank you card!
Plant a Row for the Hungry is another great way to get kids involved! Kids can help by growing fruits and veggies to donate to their neighbors in need with backyard, community, or school gardens!
Field Gleaning is a great volunteer opportunity for kids – we welcome children with families or parents and groups with adequate adult supervision (age policy included).
We also welcome groups of kids with supervision to help pack BackPacks for kids and Grocery Bags for Seniors in our warehouse. Find more information on our volunteer page and contact email@example.com with questions and to schedule a time to volunteer!
Coloring Pages
Coloring in these BackPack Buddies pages is a great way to start a conversation with your child about hunger in our community. This page, with info on childhood hunger in NC, can help you get started.

It's been a good week over here. I hope you can say the same.
This weekend, Cheri and I will be visited by a photographer for a local "lifestyle" magazine as they do a story on us and the book. I'm pretty nervous because up to this moment, I did not think we had a "lifestyle," and if we did, I would not assume it's very photogenic. But we are still excited. We'll dress the little man up and pretend he always looks that formal!
This week, there were plenty of things that challenged, enriched and grabbed my attention. Here are the highlights.
In My Netflix Queue
Cheri and I have been watching House of Cards, and loving it. But you know that television has gotten pretty…well, serious. Everything seems to heavy now. So sometimes, I need to take a break and watch something like popcorn fare, and I finally tried watching Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. I gotta say, it's pretty entertaining, and the opening theme song (the first I've heard in years that features actual lyrics) is pretty darn catchy.
In My Blog Reader
Just as interesting as Kimmy Schmidt is the first thing that I noticed this week, written by a former cult member, I'm Kimmy Schmidt, Minus the Unbreakable. Elizabeth Esther, who I've read for a long time, breaks down what the show gets right in its brief depictions of cults, and where it differs from reality.
Erin Lane just launched her book, Confessions of Belonging From a Church-Going Committment-Phobe and now she is launching a blog series called #OneGoodChurch. While seven million people each year become religiously unaffiliated, it should be an interesting series over the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, Lisa-Jo Baker talks about the art of being a good neighbor, and how to, well, uncomplicate it. Sometimes we just overthink things.
In more newsy stories, I personally raised my fist in victory at the news that LifeWay stores will stop selling all books in the dubious "heaven visitation" genre. I don't always agree with what the company does, but I think the dead-person-coming-back-from-heaven genre is a plague and a lie, so I'm glad to see it become a little bit more difficult for the people peddling that tripe.
Marshall Segal, a writer's name I didn't recognize, writes about the idolatry of theology, and gives ten questions that we can ask ourselves about our own. And finally, Bonnie Gray finishes the week by discussing why we need quiet time, and really delving into the discipline of quiet, in our quiet-starved world.
That's it from me. See you next week!

So as you know, I've not had the best back in the world lately. My husband says when they were giving out bodies in heaven, mine must have come off the clearance rack. :-)
I'm a chin up, glass half full, rose-colored glass kinda chick. Well, I want to be. I try to be. Whimages has brought me more joy than I EVER could have imagined (except for that whole computer crashing fiasco). I LOVE photography and I can't imagine NOT taking photos. That being said, I am going to have to make it a HOBBY.
If you've ever seen me shoot a session, you know I kinda get goofy and my adrenaline gets pumping and I contort myself into all kinds of positions to get "THE SHOT". While I'm all pumped up for the session, I'm not really feeling the pain so much. Then I get in the car and...WOW. Now I've got specific Dr. orders...no more working not that I have been but well you know I kept hoping I could. Email me if you have any questions. I'll still post photos on here that I take in my HOBBY time etc.

Hairstylists and runway professionals say that the half bun on long locks is a fun, sophisticated style for both the young and the young at heart.
Get Prepping
"It can work for anybody with a long bob or longer hair," says New York City stylist and L'Oréal Professionnel artist Amit Abraham. The good news is the style can work on any age or face shape: "You'd be surprised how many people can pull it off," he says.
"With this look it's all in the prep," says Abraham. His advice is to use a heat-protective straightening product before blow drying and flat ironing to get hair as sleek and smooth as possible. With a metal-tail comb, grab a section that runs from the arches of your eyebrows to the top of your head and pull it back into a ponytail, smoothing out any bumps along the way with the comb. Once you've made your ponytail, evenly distribute a strong-hold hairspray at the roots of this section to help hair lay flat and to tame any flyaways. Then create the bun by wrapping the ponytail around itself, secure with bobby pins, and finish the look with your hairspray.
Want a less structured style? Don't bother smoothing out the bumps when you pull back your half ponytail. Instead, gently pull pieces up-without pulling them out––and do the same after securing the bun. Create a similarly care-free look by adding soft waves or dents throughout the rest of your hair by bending smaller and larger pieces around a curling iron or wand. Add a bit of sea salt spray and scrunch to finish.
Pro Tip
For extra shine on the ends, Abraham recommends using a tiny bit of styling wax on the bottom two-inches or so. And most importantly, he says, "Have fun with it!"

If you're stuck in the 1930s, or if you would name Cabaret as one of your favorite movies, "Aunt Lucy's Parlour Tricks" has got your top hat and cane polished. This decadent, twisted, humorous, classy, and promisingly bizarre variety show will be held on a monthly basis from here on out. Beth Mann, who comes to us via the Fringe Festival, hosts the first installment. Performances include the Cantankerous Lollies in an authentic, costumed cancan revue; Alex Gutierez as Ineeda Richman performing classic ranchera songs (oompah-oompah pop from Mexico about love, loss, and revenge); funnyman Scott Malone; and Suzy Ming the circus-trained contortionist. DJ Romanowski will spin classic jazz and blues in the early evening and soul and rocksteady after the show. "Parlour Tricks" will be held at the 111 Minna Street Gallery on Saturday, Jan. 31, at 10 p.m. Tickets are $10, or $5 with an extravagant costume; call 831-7681.
For those who have more modern tastes yet still aren't quite up to date, might I suggest the new monthly dance club "Back Catalogue," which is an '80s tribute hosted by "Death Guild" 's Melting Girl and "So What!" 's Lucretia. Sure, you can hear Ministry and Bauhaus almost anywhere, but where, oh where, can a person hear esoteric specialties like Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, Cabaret Voltaire, Attrition, and Clock DVA? Now you know. Opening night celebrates Wax Trax! Records -- the label that brought us industrial beauties like KMFDM, Revolting Cocks, Front 242, Coil, Front Line Assembly, and Acid Horse -- which means dance-floor stompers and big record giveaways at the Maritime Hall on Saturday, Jan. 31, at 9 p.m. Tickets are $7; call 289-6759.
And finally, for the terribly modern and ultrachic, "Baby Judy's" presents a "Tokyo salute to Brigitte Bardot, in the '60s, in outer space," which is the best description I have ever heard of Kahimi Karie -- just one of the superfab-French-speaking-Japanese-baby-doll-disco divas spun by DJs Deena Davenport and Alvin A Go-Go. Imagine chewing bubble gum on helium, covered from head to foot in sequins and fun fur. Now go! to the Stud on Saturday, Jan. 31, at 10 p.m. Tickets are $3; call 252-7883.
To clear your head of hedonistic revelry and material joys, the Irish Cultural Society invites you to church, where you might cleanse your soul with heavenly strings and lilting airs. The ninth annual Festival of Harps includes Irish harps, medieval harps, Bay Area harps, and some fiddling by Clariseach, Golden Bough, Maureen Brennan, and Laura Zaerr at St. Patrick's Cathedral on Sunday, Feb. 1, at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25; call 392-4000.

text: Hello all, I have a troy built 50" ztr mower. According to the manual it weighs 660 pounds. Here is the problem. The mower is getting long in the tooth and I am looking into a new ztr. What I am finding is that a lot of the new mowers are 800+ pounds and my current one sometimes Boggs down to the point that I cannot mow unless I want ruts in my yard. With the newer ones having bigger tires and supposedly distributing the weight over a larger area will that help. Does anyone know a way to tell the weight distribution on all these mowers? And know wether a heavier machine will chew up the yard. I am mowing 1.5 acres.

It's official: The Featherville area was evacuated late on Saturday, Aug. 18, as the Trinity Ridge Fire engulfed the Elmore County region with thick smoke and threatening flames. Approximately 350 residence were affected.
In fact, the smoke was so thick that it hindered firefighting efforts, as planes hoping to bomb the flames with fire retardant chemicals found it difficult to reach the fire's leading edge.
Meanwhile, an Idaho National Guard helicopter was mobilized to assist with any emergency medical evacuations, if needed. A UH-72 Lakota helicopter and seven soldiers will be stationed in the community of Pine.
Pine-Featherville Road is now closed to all but fire and emergency traffic, and evacuation centers have been set up by the Red Cross at the Pine Senior Center and the Pines Resort.
According to the U.S. Forest Service and National Incident Management Team, the Trinity Ridge Fire is projected to move and spread in all directions today.

Update: Richard Sherman has since addressed the issue addressed in the following post. He explained that he was actually its author.
Though he has spoken out against perceived racism in the past, reports indicate Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman made it clear this week that he wants no association with the violent wing of the Black Lives Matter movement.
When King Noble, a controversial Black Lives Matter activist, used Sherman's image to advocate murdering whites, the NFL star reportedly shot back with an impassioned denunciation.

Though the offending meme has since been removed from Noble's profile, other social media users continue to share it.

— The Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) September 15, 2015
When Sherman became aware that his face had been used to promote Noble's agenda, he visited the activist's website and left a biting comment.
Well done, Richard Sherman. Well done. The hell with "King Noble", "Sunshine", and their race-baiters. pic.twitter.com/nX4fqlAuy0
— Javier Vasquez (@JavierVasquez85) September 13, 2015
He informed Noble that he grew up in the ghetto and "banged like a fool" until realizing that he could work his way out of that situation. "I was not suppressed by any man or woman white or black," he wrote, adding that he takes pride in his accomplishments "both as a black man and an athlete." Sherman asserted that he could have pretended to be a victim of white oppression while spending his life on drugs. "But that would be a lie," he continued. "We are who we want to be and that is what is great about america [sic]." He went on to explain that all Americans have equal opportunity to succeed before launching into a more personal argument. Noble "chose to be a woman abusing racist loudmouth," Sherman wrote. He continued:
I would love to debate you on national tv. And if you condone senseless back [sic] shootings of whites and police officers we better make that debate on Springer so I can b—ch slap your ignorant a—! You are what is keeping and making the black race look bad.

Going on to call Noble "half a man" and a "cheap thug," Sherman urged the activist to embrace Dr. Martin Luther King's message. "We are all in this together white and black," he concluded. "Peace to all and I hope this stupid fake hate stops real soon." h/t: IJReview

Guitar Teacher Reveals Why Madonna Covered Pantera
Drop D lesson led to "A New Level" cover.
Back in 2008, the internet erupted when Madonna dropped a guitar cover of Pantera's "A New Level" on her Sticky and Sweet tour. Now, in a new interview with Decibel magazine, Madonna's guitar teacher and live guitarist Monte Pittman has revealed the story behind the cover.
As the guitarist notes, the cover came about when he was teaching the pop star about drop D tuning:
"And so at the same time, she had gotten a new musical director. He wanted to do her song 'Hung Up' with her playing guitar. But it's in D minor. That would be a great segue to me showing her drop D tuning on the guitar. So I was showing her the song, and I was like, 'You know what, I gotta teach you some Pantera.' So I showed her the riff to 'A New Level' because I thought it would be easy to remember how the notes just move up chromatically, one at a time. She loved that. She kept playing that all the time.
"When we were in band rehearsals doing 'Hung Up,' once we ended the song, she would start going into that Pantera riff. The rest of Madonna's band, they're not really familiar with that music, so they just started playing what she was playing. Every day in rehearsal when we would end that song, we would just start playing that riff. I thought, 'Oh that's cool, that's fun.'
"But then all of a sudden, you would start to see, like, some runners bring water in to stock the refrigerator. And the tour manager just happens to walk in, doing something. All of these people just started showing up at rehearsals who are there working, but just kinda popping their head in the door, like, 'Hey I wanna see Madonna play that Pantera part again.'
"And it stayed [and became part of the live show]. I was surprised that it stayed. Of course, I'm not gonna say no. When else am I gonna get to play Pantera on a stage in a stadium? But it stayed, and that's where that story came from."
As Decibel notes, Pittman is a guitarist with a metal pedigree, having previously played with Dallas metal heroes Prong.

This is something of a milestone. I am in the middle of working on the one-hundredth book for the NZ WEA Book Discussion Scheme (BDS). It might even be a record, but not one that generates much excitement except in my own beating heart. The book is "I am Malala" – by and about the amazing young woman who survived being shot by the Taliban and, on her sixteenth birthday, stood up and lectured the United Nations general assembly with poise and passion.
So, what is the Book Discussion Scheme? It is a New Zealand-wide, non-profit, adult education scheme in which, each month, groups of people are supplied with books, with accompanying notes, for the purpose of reading and discussion. Currently there are about a thousand groups with an average of ten members per group. That's a lot of people reading and discussing, not just books but other subjects that arise from their reading. There are 800 plus titles in the BDS catalogue and that's a lot of books circulating throughout the country.
Established in 1973, the BDS was born in a small garage at the back of the WEA building. Now it is run from mainstreet Christchurch with a small staff and several volunteers. They don't need to advertise, it's all word of mouth – and they have a waiting list of people looking to join, or start, groups. It's enough to warm the heart – all those people getting together to read and think and talk and argue and broaden minds.
I am one of the BDS note-writers and get as much, if not more, than the readers do out of the process. I've been doing the job for nearly four decades and believe whole-heartedly in the cause – the encouragement of enhanced, guided reading by as many people as possible, as affordably as possible. Also I read a lot of books that I might not have chosen, and am rarely disappointed. That also applies to group members – choosing the books for the group is a democratic process which enriches everybody one way or another.
As a note-writer I must read and research especially carefully so that the notes are helpful and, with a bit of luck, illuminating. The notes are essentially informal essays, followed by questions designed to help discussion about the book, rather than to test the reader's understanding of it. There is no right or wrong way to talk about a book, and each group does it – or not – any way they like. They can also comment freely about their experiences – including the quality or otherwise of the notes supplied. Believe me, that keeps us note-writers on our toes. I guess that's democracy too.

Inspired by the timeworn comfort of an English country house, the classic patterns in our English Manor collection offer relaxed elegance for everyday living. The pure New Zealand worsted wool yarns have been specifically dyed to create when woven, a random stria reminiscent of the aged colors found in antique manor house rugs.

Standard curb-side delivery of oversized rugs is free on most purchases from Rugs Direct.
However, special "white glove" delivery is available for selected rugs in this collection at additional cost. If you select this option, we will make an appointment to deliver your purchase at a time convenient for you and place the rug in...
Quality is exceptional as well as value. Colors were just as portrayed on website. Blends well with other Karastan rugs because colors are of same hue.
Haven't found a thing about this rug I don't love! I like it so much I have ordered a second one in a larger size!
I love this carpet. It is darker than it looks in the pictures, but the quality and overall pattern are beautiful. We are getting used to it and it is so soft under our feet. The size is perfect and the rug pad makes a huge difference in how comfortable it feels. This carpet will be with us for a very long time. I would order again, the process was easy and it came right to our door, easy as pie!
This rug has unique pattern and color combinations that the online photo does not capture. I love the English Manor collection and this rug now completes my foyer, living room , and now dinning room with rugs from this collection. Love Karastan, its pricier but the quality is outstanding.
This rug has interesting colors and a great design. We are using it next to an antique bed with a homemade quilt. We also have Karastan William Morris Red rug in this room and the two rugs complement each other nicely.
Beautiful rug, as I expect from Karastan - at the best price I could find with fast shipping.
Having ordered this rug online, I was a little concerned about the colors within the rug. I can honestly say, the rug is excellent. The rug provides a warm contrast with my hardwood floors.
Would we buy again from Rugs Direct? YES The rug is beautiful, perfect color, and was delivered within days. Without a doubt, this price was right.
I love the area rug, the colors are gorgeous and the feel of the rug is like silk. I will buy more.
I found English Manor to be high quality, the color is gorgeous, and I will order more of the same area rug for a connecting room.

Wednesday, March 2 ~ Third Week in the Season of Lent
Holy Gospel: Matthew 5:17-19 Jesus said to his disciples: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the Kingdom of heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the Kingdom of heaven."
Meditation: Notice how Jesus consistently taught reverence for God's law – reverence for God himself, for the Lord's Day, reverence or respect for parents, respect for life, for property, for another person's good name, respect for oneself and for one's neighbor lest wrong or hurtful desires master us. Reverence and respect for God's commandments teach us the way of love – love of God and love of neighbor. What is impossible to men and women is possible to God and those who put their faith and trust in God. Through the gift of the Holy Spirit the Lord transforms us and makes us like himself. We are a new creation in Christ (ref. 2 Cor. 5:17) because "God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us" (Romans 5:5). God gives us the grace to love as he loves, to forgive as he forgives, to think as he thinks, and to act as he acts. The Lord loves justice and goodness and he hates every form of wickedness and sin. He wants to set us free from our unruly desires and sinful habits, so that we can choose to live each day in the peace, joy, and righteousness of his Holy Spirit (ref. Romans 14: 17). To renounce sin is to turn away from what is harmful and destructive for our minds and hearts, and our very lives. As his followers we must love and respect his commandments and hate every form of sin. Do you love and revere the commands of the Lord?
Prayer: Grant, we pray, O Lord, that, schooled through Lenten observance and nourished by your word, through holy restraint we may be devoted to you with all our heart and be ever united in prayer. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Contemplation: How do you look upon the laws of God? Negatively? Positively? Pick-and-choose when it suits you (the old "cafeteria Catholic" approach)? Jesus' attitude towards the law of God can be summed up in the great prayer of Psalm 119: "Oh, how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day." For the people of Israel the "law" could refer to the Ten Commandments or to the five Books of Moses, called the Pentateuch, which explain the commandments and ordinances of God for his people. The "law" also referred to the whole teaching or way of life which God gave to his people. The Jews in Jesus' time also used it as a description of the oral or scribal law. Needless to say, the scribes added many more things to the law than God intended. That is why Jesus often condemned the scribal law. It placed burdens on people which God had not intended. Jesus, however, made it very clear that the essence of God's law – his commandments and his way of life – must be fulfilled. So, once again, how do you view God's law? How do you put God's law into action and practice in your daily life?

Friday The 13th History Origins
January 13, 2012 by staff
Friday The 13th History Origins, It's Friday the 13th and to many it is believed to be a bad luck kinda day. But there's really no found evidence of this, other than consequence.
Consequently, several theories have been proposed about the origin of the Friday the 13th superstition.
One theory states that it is a modern amalgamation of two older superstitions: that thirteen is an unlucky number and that Friday is an unlucky day.
In numerology, the number twelve is considered the number of completeness, as reflected in the twelve months of the year, twelve hours of the clock, twelve gods of Olympus, twelve tribes of Israel, twelve Apostles of Jesus, the 12 Descendants of Muhammad Imams,whereas the number thirteen was considered irregular, transgressing this completeness. There is also a superstition, thought by some to derive from the Last Supper or a Norse myth, that having thirteen people seated at a table will result in the death of one of the diners.
Now through in some black cats that for some reason are associated with Friday the 13th.
According to most animals shelters , black cats and kittens are the least adopted, but for the many cats and kittens and dogs for that matter that are looking for a new home, this could be their lucky day.
According to Discovery News, the link of the Black Cats and Friday the 13th can be explained. The Egyptians worshiped the cat and punished anyone who dared to kill one. In the Middle Ages, however, the black cat was linked to witches and Satan. Since it was believed that a witch had the power to transform herself into a cat, it was thought likely that a cat who crossed one's path was a witch in disguise
That aside, the Sault Ste. Marie Humane Society has many currently looking for a home. We don't think they look like witches at all.
Some other interesting facts about Friday the 13th.
The fear of Friday the 13th is called friggatriskaidekaphobia (Frigga being the name of the Norse goddess for whom "Friday" is named and triskaidekaphobia meaning fear of the number thirteen)
2012 will have three occasions where the 13th falls on a Friday, including today, one in April and the other in July.
Friday the 13th is actually the most common number for a Friday, over the last 4,800 months, the 13th has fallen on a Friday 688 times, next up is a Sunday with 687 times. Thursday and Saturday it has occurred 684 times.
Friday has been considered an unlucky day at least since the 14th century's and many other professions have regarded Friday as an unlucky day to undertake journeys or begin new projects. Black Friday has been associated with stock market crashes and other disasters since the 1800s. It has also been suggested that Friday has been considered an unlucky day because, according to Christian scripture and tradition, Jesus was crucified on a Friday.
So now that you know all about Friday the 13th go visit the Humane Society and make a black cat happy and while you're at it, pick up a lottomax ticket for tonight's draw, who knows this could be your lucky day to win $21 million ,

Best Weed Eater of 2017
A decent quality lawnmower can certainly give you a tidy and healthy lawn, but there are some places that it simply cannot reach. This is where a weed eater, also known as a string trimmer and a weed whacker, comes into play.
A string trimmer utilizes a cord that spins really fast to hack and chop away at even long and tough weeds. It is used to give a tidy finish to the borders of your lawn, fence lines, and under bushes and besides trees.
For this reason, a weed eater is a great tool to add to your arsenal. There is no way to get a perfect finish without it. There are many options available on the market, but not all are equal in terms of their quality or functionality.
This guide to the best weed eaters will help you to understand what options are available to you, and which type and model of trimmer will best suit your lawn space and your needs.
At the bottom of this article you'll find a detailed review of each of the products discussed.

Types of Weed Eaters
There are three types of weed eaters available, and this is one of the main factors and preferences for you to consider. You can choose from gas powered, electric corded, and electric cordless models, all of which have their own set of advantages and disadvantages.
Gas Powered Weed Eaters
Gas powered weed eaters are the most powerful available, and usually come with 2-stroke or even 4-stroke engines. They are capable of cutting through the most tough and long grass, and can deal with large lawn trimming jobs and even commercial applications.
However, gas weed eaters are also the most noisy and difficult to control. They tend to be heavier and bulkier, and they give off more pollution. They are also more expensive than their electric counterparts.
Though not as peaceful to use, a gas weed eater really does the job well, and for some people this is the main priority. If you want something with a bit of a kick, gas powered is the way to go.
Electric Corded Weedeaters
Next are the electric corded weedeaters, another popular choice that tend to be less expensive than gas powered, while still providing enough power to cut through tough weeds and make light work of long grass. They are light and easy to use, economical and a lot more quiet.
On the other hand, electric weed eaters lack the oomph of a gas powered model. They are rarely as powerful. The main drawback is the cord. It can get in the way. It can restrict the distance from a power source that you can use the trimmer, making electric models a much better choice for smaller sized lawns.
If you want an easy to handle weedeater that is quiet, and causes less pollution, while still being capable of trimming through tough patches, an electric model is a great choice.
Electric Cordless Weed Eaters
Cordless string trimmers utilize DC rechargeable batteries. They are probably the easiest and most ergonomically option. There is no need for an extension lead and no pull starting. All you have to do is press the button and enjoy some lawn trimming. Once you are finished, plug it in and recharge the battery.
The fact that these models have no cords makes them incredibly attractive. This is, however, also there downfall. The battery life, while significant, restricts the amount of trimming you can do in one session. The battery also tends to give less power than a gas or corded electric weed eater.
For this reason, a cordless model is best for light home applications, and is certainly not a wise choice for huge lawns or commercial use. If you have a nice small area to trim, and you want a peaceful and eco-friendly tool to do it, then a cordless model can be a joy to work with.
Factors To Consider When Buying
There are a few major factors to consider before making your weed eater purchase. The type of weed eater is the most important element of your decision, so think carefully about whether you want a gas or electric model. You can also make the following considerations:
Performance & Power
Obviously, you want a weed eater that will perform well. It should achieve its function of trimming your lawn. The power of the machine is a factor in this, but you don't always need the most powerful trimmer. This depends on whether you have a small lawn, or a giant yard with lots of tough patches of weeds. A more powerful model will be preferable for the latter case. Cutting width also effects performance. A wider girth makes life easier, but some weed eaters, such as battery powered models, deliberately use a smaller width in order to channel their power better. All of the weed eaters reviewed here perform well for their intended purpose.
Size Of Lawn
The size of your lawn or yard is a huge factor in your purchase decision. It should be one of your main considerations. You don't need a top of the range gas powered model for dealing with a tiny yard. On the other hand, a battery powered weed eater typically lasts around one hour on full power before it needs a charge, so if you have to use it for more than an hour at the time this will be impractical. An electric corded model gives you the power, but you need a power source to keep it going, so consider how far from your property you are likely to use the weed eater.
Another huge factor with weed eaters, is how ergonomic they are. You want one that you can handle. Gas powered weed eaters tend to be bulkier and heavier, as they have a built-in engine. They usually (but not always) come with extra handles, and harnesses so that your body can take the weight. Generally, lighter models are easier to swing around, so if you have physical difficulties then you should always go for a light electric model. In general, a well-balanced and ergonomic machine will be much more pleasant to use. Some models have additional comfort features, like padded handles or anti-vibration technology.
Some trimmers come with a range of features that enhance their usability, and even their purpose. You can find auto-feed spools, cutting speed setting for more control, and some take attachments that allow them to be transformed into other tools like edgers and blowers. Check out individual reviews to see what features each weed eater can offer.
As with all purchases, your other considerations will be made according to your budget. The prices of our selected trimmers go from $79 to $249.If you require a powerful gas-powered model, expect to pay the high-end prices.
Top 5 Weedeaters Reviews
Now that you have seen a brief overview of the best weed eaters available, it is time to go into more detail for each product. Read the full reviews below to make sure you are buying exactly what you need.
Black & Decker LST136W
The Black & Decker LST136W is a well rated string trimmer from a reputable brand. It performs well using a 40V battery, which is around 33% more powerful than standard lithium batteries, and provides ample time and energy for trimming small to medium yards.
The LST136W is also really ergonomic. It is well-balanced, and only weighs 9lb, giving you the ultimate mobility and comfort while you trim your lawn. The auto-feed spool makes life even easier, and the chunky controls can be used even while wearing gloves.
This cordless electric weed whacker has a 13" cutting width. This is not the widest in our range, but it does mean that the 40V power is well utilized, and this increases the overall performance so that the Black & Decker can manage tougher patches. A multiple-speed cutting option gives you more control, while also helping to preserve battery life.
There have been complaints about the overall battery life, but this will always be the case with cordless models, and the Black & Decker is no better or worse than other models like the Toro. This drawback is a given. However, you get a nice quiet, eco-friendly weedeater that is still capable of doing an excellent job.
One of the niftiest features of the LST, is the cutting head, which rotates to transform the machine into an edger, without the need for attachments.
Overall, it's a close call between this and the Toro 5148. Both are great battery powered weedeaters that compare similarly on performance, control, and price. Consider it a safer option, with a 4.5 rating and over 2000 reviews! You can get the Black and Decker LST for $128, and we can say that it is well worth the cost.
Hitachi CG22EAP2SL
The Hitachi CG22EAP2SL is a beast of a machine, and boasts a 21.1cc gas powered 2-stroke engine that gives you the power to cut through even the toughest weeds and longest grass.
One of the outstanding features of the Hitachi is its 60" long drive shaft, giving you an extensive reach to trim under bushes and hard to reach places, and reaching up high if needed. It is also incredibly lightweight, ergonomic, and well balanced. It weighs only 11 lb – much less than most gas models. This gives it one of the best overall handling ratings out of all of our picks.
Other features include the anti-vibration system, to reduce the amount of energy that ends of wobbling your arms. The Hitachi has an 'S-Start' technology, which reduces the amount of pull needed to get it started, and a debris shield to ensure rocks and mulch don't fly back in your face. The semi-automatic string adjustment coils out more string when needed, further reducing hassle.
You can also use the Hitachi with several attachments, such as an edger, hedge trimmer, pole saw, and mini-cultivator, making it a versatile choice if you want to spend the extra money.
In terms of drawbacks, the Hitachi does have a few. Being a gas-powered model, it is pretty noisy at 108 decibels, and requires ear protection for safe use. It also has only 13ft of string per spool, which will need replacing more often than most. The Hitachi is easy enough to handle, but doesn't come with a harness – its only drawback in terms of usability.
If you are looking for a quality, reliable gas-powered weed eater that is both powerful and ergonomic, the Hitachi is a great choice, and is priced at under $200, making it affordable too. The 7 year warranty is testament to its overall durability. An excellent investment!
Toro 51488 Cordless
Next up is the Toro 51488, a cordless electric model that gives you twice the usual power of a battery weed eater, boasting a 48V lithium ion battery.
The battery usually lasts around 1 hour on full, and 3 hours on lower power. The trimmer can run on full power until the battery is completely empty, so you won't notice performance diminish as you are trimming. There is also a storage mode for out of season, to preserve the battery life and increase it by around 40%.
The Toro also features multiple speed settings, to give you more control over your trimming, so you can use it on maximum only when you have tough weeds to deal with. The 13" string automatically feeds out from the spool, gaining the Toro even more points for usability.
The usual problems with battery are nearly negated by the Toro. It's extensive battery life, and 48V power, means it can handle your garden nearly as well as a gas model. Nearly, but not quite. It is also ergonomic, lightweight, and durable, so you can fling it around for fun without straining yourself.
If you want a decent quality weedeater that is quiet and eco-friendly, and doesn't have an annoying cord to drag around with you, then the Toro is an excellent battery powered model, and it isn't too expensive either.
Greenworks 21142
The Greenworks 21142 is our favorite pick for electric corded models. It provides a whopping 10 Amps of power, which is almost double what a lot of electric weedeaters offer. This makes it pretty darn good for tackling even long grass and tough weeds. It can't compete with the power of a gas model, but it does exactly what it is supposed to do, and is perfect for small yards and lawns.
It is also relatively lightweight, and ergonomically designed, with a cushioned handle to reduce vibrations, and an additional handle for maximum control. Another outstanding feature is the 18" trimming width – very wide compared to most – which makes lighter work for you.
The Greenworks 21142 is attachment capable, and takes most of the add-ons that a gas powered model takes. You can easily transform it into a pruner, hedge trimmer, blower, and more using the'Quick-Connect' system.
The ratings of the Greenworks has been dragged down by complaints about the spool tangling, and the difficulty finding new spool. Both of these complaints are kind of unwarranted, as this can happen with any brand, and the spools can be found readily online. Despite this, it has kept up a highly positive rating with over 2000 reviews.
Of course, another drawback is having to deal with the cord, which restricts the distance you can use it from a power source, and can also get in the way. This is the price you pay for using an electric corded weedeater. Your reward is a nice, quiet, eco-friendly way to trim your lawn.
The power, ergonomics, and attachment-friendly Greenworks is an excellent and high value choice for anyone seeking an electric corded model. For just $79 you get a lot for your money!
Husqvarna 128DJx
This is the most powerful model on our list. The Husqvarna has a 28cc gas powered 2-stroke engine, which will make light work of all of your home-trimming needs, and could even be used for light commercial applications. A 17" cutting width adds to this feeling of ease, and steel brush cutter blades and a semi-automatic spool system top it off. The Husqvarna is a mean machine, that's for sure!
Luckily, the Husqvarna is also manageable to handle, and has auxiliary handles and a harness for controlling the almighty weedeater. You might be happy to know that it also has a built-in safety shut off switch. It's also pretty lightweight, weighing only 10.8lb, which is less than some electric models.
Gas powered weedeaters are notoriously noisy, and not the most friendly for the environment, but the Husqvarna has CARB-compliant status, and E-tech II system for lower emissions, so as far as gas models go it isn't so bad.
At $249, the Husqvarna is in a different price range to many other models featured in this list. Is it an investment you want to make? That depends what you are looking for. If you have a tiny lawn that needs trimming every now and then, a lower powered model will suffice. If you want to regularly trim a larger area, or you just want to feel the might of a gas weedeater, this is one of the best that you can buy.
Final Considerations
The weedeaters presented and reviewed here are the finest on the market right now. We have been careful to include at least one from every type – gas, electric, and battery powered – so that you can find what you are looking for.
Once you know what power source you prefer, you have almost made your decision already! All that is left is to check the details and make sure the weedeater you have in mind is perfect for you.
We hope you enjoy your time in the garden, and your nice neat yard. Your weed eater is going to make a big difference this season!
