Are You Attending Multiple Thanksgiving Celebrations?
by partysugar 13
This year, my older brother and his buddies decided to plan an epic golfing weekend over the Thanksgiving holiday. He knows how important Thanksgiving is to me, so he's heading to my parents' house this weekend. My family will feast with him on Sunday and then celebrate as we normally do with my grandfather on Thursday. How about you?Source: Flickr User *clairity*

Yep 3 dinners! Wednesday with my husbands family, Thursday our family, Friday my family. I will probably gain 10 pounds before the weekend!LOL!
Yes! This year we hosted Canadian Thanksgiving at our place (I'm American, married to a Canadian & living in BC), and my friend is hosting American Thanksgiving at her place in a couple weeks.
When I was growing up, my mom hosted two Thanksgivings. My dad's family would come over on Thursday, and my mom's family would come over on Friday. Mom had a schedule about 12 pages long: what to do on Tuesday, what to do on Wednesday, and then Thursday and Friday to-do's were clarified into hours (and minutes). I think there must be half a dozen versions of that itinerary at their house; it seemed like every other year we'd be unable to locate it and have to make it up all over again.
We used to do two Thanksgivings...one on Thursday with our immediate family, my aunt and uncles, and my Grandma. Then we would have a second Thanksgiving dinner on Friday with my other aunt and uncle and sister and brother-in-law. This year, we're only going to Thursday dinner with my family.
Well, we're going to my aunt in law's and then coming home for our dinner. But, my mother in law wants to have something on that Friday. I don't think so.
I used to go to my bf's family for Thansgiving during the day and he would come over for Thansgiving with my family in the evening, but after too many years of his family making it very known they don't like me, I only attend my own family Thanksgiving.
No, but I wish I was! This is my first Thanksgiving being married, and I'm so excited to be celebrating it with my husband and parents :)
Yes. This is my boyfriend & my first thanksgiving together, except I have to leave for three months on November 23rd! So we're having a "Little Thanksgiving" tomorrow because he's never celebrated Thanksgiving (he's not from the States).
Yeap - Wed to Sat
Wed - Fellowship group
Thurs - With my in-law
Fri - I am hosting one for my close friends
Sat - Church Youth Group
Wednesday is a family and friends dinner catered by a deli, Thursday is the traditional meal with my bf's extended family, and then Friday everyone gets together for sushi (yes, that bill tends to break $2000 easily). We eat a lot :-)
Thanksgiving day with my family, then Friday night going to another celebration with my boyfriend and his extended family (and will likely wear the same dress twice... its new and I want to recycle!)
Yep. Hosting one at work for all of the military still on base and then off to my parents house that evening for the second meal.

The Red House
Great Boughton
Tel: 01244 320088
The Red House is a contemporary British restaurant with a fabulous modern design, in a totally unique location.
The owners have transformed what was previously an ordinary public house into a sumptuous restaurant. They have constructed a 2-storey glass extension using the same glass technology as the 'Gherkin' Swiss Re building in London, and this allows the restaurant to stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter. It also allows for fantastic views across the River Dee and the Meadows.
The garden has also been transformed with decking pods and grass that leads down to the River Dee, with customers able to arrive by boat if they wish.
Some customers have remarked that The Red House is a little bit of Chelsea in Cheshire – and it certainly has the WOW factor.
The food is also designed to impress, with modern British classics on the daytime menu, and an a la carte menu that shows off the full capabilities of the talented head chef.
Menus change on a frequent basis, so you should be able to enjoy a different dish every time that you visit. Even if you only want to enjoy a drink and see, and be seen, then you will be more than welcome.

DR. LECTER: No. Precisely. We begin by coveting what we see every day.
--Hannibal "the Cannibal" Lecter, from The Silence of the Lambs
The hunger for clothing is the hunger for acceptance. The drive to match your outsides with your insides. Buffalo Bill had his fat suit, and so did Gwyneth in Shallow Hal. Is there lurking inside every fat woman a thin woman yearning to break free? In college, I take to spying on beautiful women. Corrie in Russian Lit, slender as a Klimt fairy in vintage lace. Cecile at the coffeehouse, with Louise Brooks hair and skinny arms. Susan with the swanlike neck. My dormmate lays out her theorem: "The hotness of your outfit is directly proportional to your date's desire to peel it off." But struggling in the car with the control-top pantyhose, from which out plops my stomach, I cringe at my date's flabbergasted expression: That's not how I looked with the packaging.
In 2001, Katie Ford, CEO of Ford Models, told Cosmopolitan that the thin-model trend started in the 1940s with fashion illustrators who drew elongated bodies in their sketches. Cosmo, in true Nancy Drew form, set out to "solve the mystery of the incredible shrinking model." a Their conclusion? Blame it on the designers. Designers want girls who are shaped like hangers. Breasts are bad. Hips are bad. Curves? Butts? Tummies? Bad. Bad. Bad. In the early 1990s, Calvin Klein, reveling in androgyny, selected 5'7", 98-pound Kate Moss as his "muse." Cosmo doesn't actually say it, but you get the picture: It's not about hangers or the 1940s. Designers, predominantly male, predominantly gay, didn't just want women who looked like little girls, they wanted the fantasy. They wanted little girls who looked like little boys.
The truth, of course, is more complicated. Female ideals shift with the seasons, with the generations and eras, in an endless feedback loop. Designer or Model? Industry or Consumer? Chicken or Egg? It's a collusion over a fantasy -- of economic success, of sexual and reproductive desirability, of psychological well-being -- that might just as well go back to the Stone Age, when the first australopithecine tailor, squatting over a scrap of woolly mammoth fur, asked the first huntress-gatheress, wouldn't she care to slip into something a little more huntery-gathery?
There is much debate about the specific connections between the "Cult of Skinny" and eating disorders. Some 8 million people in the U.S. suffer from anorexia nervosa, bulimia or related eating disorders. Images of thinness are everywhere, yet the majority of adolescents do not develop an eating disorder. But then again, anorexia and bulimia are most common in media-saturated industrialized societies. The evidence is a contradictory, tangled mess, but the general consensus is that the links connecting what we see, what we eat and how we feel are undeniable. Witness the pro-anorexia Web sites.
Double the $ize but Twice as $exy
Hey, big spender . . . Say, wouldn't you like to know what's going on in my mind?
--"Big Spender," Sweet Charity
So why all of a sudden does it appear that plus-size has become a plus and not a minus? The only thing sexier than being too thin is being too rich. Fat and fashion is not just a feminist issue, it's a financial one. Like the docking of the Mothership, the large and lovely woman "has finally arrived." The reverberation of that triumphant "final arrival" has been echoing for 20 years, starting in 1986, when the trade magazine Women's Wear Daily, the proverbial canary in the mines of fashion, reported a modest yet enthusiastic response to the first plus-size fashion show. Back then, the average American woman wore a size 8. Now she wears a size 14. She's bigger. She's older. And, both collectively and individually, she's richer. While 0 to 12 size sales are hitting a plateau, sales of 14-plus are surging (an estimated $17 billion in 2002, even in a downturn economy). Plus-size is the fashion industry's last great untapped market. Sixty-five million large-size women, MasterCards at the ready. Why should the plus-size woman who has a keen eye for style be relegated to the role of spectator when she should be a connoisseur?, asks Simon Doonan, creative director of Barneys New York. "The money," he breathes in Curve, "is sitting there on the table." What kind of self-respecting label whore wouldn't take it?
Fatter, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
"Obesity science" has, in the last half-decade, been transformed from a lackluster backwater into a vibrant field of inquiry attracting some of the most brilliant minds . . . and liberating overweight from the murky ghetto of "character flaw" to the more potent status of "disease."
--Ellen Ruppel Shell, The Hungry Gene
At the same time that plus-size fashion is coming out of the closet, obesity rates are soaring. Because I am gaining weight with unprecedented ease, I visit an endocrinologist, who tells me that I have insulin resistance, the warning-signal precursor to diabetes. "But don't worry," he says as I slump down from the examination table, "it's fixable." The Golden Era of Body Acceptance is hurtling headlong on a collision course with the Scary Age of Big Fat Doom. In December 2001, the U.S. surgeon general announced that over 34 percent of adults are overweight and an additional 27 percent are obese, that obesity is soon going to eclipse tobacco as the biggest threat to public health. The categories "overweight" and "obese" correlate to a range of weight, or more precisely, to a range of weight-to-height ratios, known as the Body Mass Index (BMI). The BMI was established four years ago by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute based on how likely it was that a person of a certain weight, height and age would die from certain nasty diseases. Thirty-two billion dollars spent on plus-size women's clothing versus 1.1 billion overweight adults. In other words, though my chances of dying from high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease or stroke are going up, when they bury me, I am sure to be wearing something really, really cute.

Preview of Fog Magic Summary:
Plot Summary

Her mother, Gertrude, can never understand her daughter's love for the fog. Even as a baby, when the fog sets in Greta reacts with smiles and excitement. To keep her little toddler from running off into the fog, Gertrude literally ties Greta to the clothes line.
As Greta matures, her father, Walter, seems to have a deep understanding of Greta's fascination with the fog.

Date: Wednesday 20 Jun 2012
1630:Close London stocks managed to close higher on the back of positive expectations for tonight´s Fed meeting and an improved news-flow out of the Eurozone. Acting as a backdrop, the results of the G-20 summit seem to have gotten a mixed reception today; although there may be some indications that European authorities are now more aware of the risks surrounding their current situation. Sage and Aviva led on the upside on the Footsie. The former is to acquire a majority interest in Brazilian outfit Folhamatic Group, while the insurer benefitted from reports that European authorities will phase in new capital rules. Lastly, accoridng to the minutes of the BoE´s last rate setting meeting an increase in the size of the Bank´s quantitative easing program, in July, is now considered to be the most likely scenario by some economists. FTSE 100 up 36 to 5,622.
1603: The market looks like it will close with moderate gains today; on the back of a more favourable news flow coming out of the Eurozone, although there are those who still see significant differences between the Eurozone´s main powers over how to proceed in the current crisis. Aviva has moved into the leaderboard on reports that the European Union will impose new capital rules for the insurance industry more slowly, phasing them in over 7 years. Whitbread, for its part, is building on yesterday´s gains. At least four large brokers, BarCap, Oddo, Morgan Stanley and BNP have raised their target price on its shares today. FTSE 100 up 27 to 5,613.
1315: Footsie has edged above 5600, buoyed a little by expectations of a moderately firmer opening on all Street. In the mid-cap space two stocks which had tough days yesterday are bouncing back today: Chemring is topping the FTSE 250 leader-board, with Imagination Technologies not far behind. FTSE 100 is up 31 at 5,617.
1125: The Footsie has kept its head above water, trading seven points higher at 5,593, as investors await the policy decision in the US. The Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC's) two-day meeting comes to an end late today, with markets hoping that members will vote on further easing measures in light of recent mixed economic data and Eurozone concerns. Meanwhile, a close eye will be kept on Greece with Pasok socialist party leader Evangelos Venizelos saying that an agreement could be reached on the formation of a coalition government in Greece by midday today.
1033: The close-run thing on the vote on quantitative easing and heavy hints that the Bank of England will beef up its asset purchase programme at next month's meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee gave a fillip to UK stocks, rescuing Footsie from a negative position. FTSE 100 is now up 8 at 5,595, helped by strength from miners such as Vedanta, Kazakhmys, FAGS (Antofagasta) and Rio Tinto. The latter has announced it is investing more than four billion dollars in expanding operations in Western Australia and Guinea.
0941: This month's vote on whether to beef up the Bank of England's asset purchasing programme (also known as quantitative easing, or QE) was closer than expected, with three committee members in favour of increasing the QE pot by a further 50 billion pounds, one in favour of a 25 billion pound increase and five voting for the status quo. Bank of England governor Mervyn King was among those voting in favour of more QE. The previous month the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee had voted 7-1 in favour of leaving the QE policy unchanged. FTSE 100 is up 4 at 5,590.
0819: Footsie is barely changed as the usual clutch of Wednesday ex-div stocks weigh down the top share index. Severn Trent is the biggest drag as it is now trading without the right to receive the recent special dividend. Accountancy software Sage is wanted after announcing it is buying a majority stake in a Brazilian software firm. FTSE 100 is unchanged at 5,586.

We love the outdoors here at Hilton Head Outfitters! Of course, it helps that it rarely dips below freezing here in the Lowcountry . So after we stuff ourselves with Thanksgiving dinner, we like to get out and burn off a few of those pumpkin pie calories.
Here are our top 5 post-Thanksgiving outdoor activities to get your body moving:
1) Ride a bike – Won't it feel good to get away from Aunt Doris and the crew for a few minutes when you tell everyone you're going out for a leisurely bike ride. If you're in Hilton Head Island, rent bikes from us and then head out onto the more than 50 miles of paved bike paths and enjoy the fresh sea air.
2) Take a walk – No equipment required; just yourself! A brisk walk is a good way to get the blood pumping and the calories moving and you can even do it in the cold air. Bundle up with a scarf, coat and gloves and you'll be sweating in no time. Here in Hilton Head, take a walk on the beach and enjoy the views!
3) Play tennis – Tennis is a outstanding calorie burner and it's fun, too! Head to your local tennis court or one of the 25 Hilton Head tennis courts at Palmetto Dunes. There are even two lighted for night play if the sun has gone down before you finish your Thanksgiving dinner.
4) Work on your golf swing – Grab your clubs, head outdoors (after all, we don't want any lights broken!) and work on your golf swing. Then you'll be ready to hit the Hilton Head golf courses on your next vacation. It'll help relieve the stress of family get-togethers – just don't swing the golf club at any people . Read this tip from Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy's Doug Weaver on the science of the golf swing.
5) Run! If the family has you running for the hills, why not go for it?! Strap on your jogging shoes and take off through the neighborhood or your local trail for a heart-pumping workout.
If you'll be in Hilton Head for Thanksgiving and don't have other plans, Big Jim's BBQ, Burgers & Pizza will be serving plated Thanksgiving meals with all the trimmings from 11 a.m.- 8 p.m.
Do you like to exercise on Thanksgiving Day? What's your workout of choice? Happy Turkey Day!

"The one who is coming after me is stronger than I am. I'm not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire."
Ministry of John the Baptist
3 In those days John the Baptist appeared in the desert of Judea announcing, 2 " Change your hearts and lives! Here comes the kingdom of heaven! " 3 He was the one of whom Isaiah the prophet spoke when he said:
4 John wore clothes made of camel's hair, with a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.
5 People from Jerusalem, throughout Judea, and all around the Jordan River came to him. 6 As they confessed their sins, he baptized them in the Jordan River. 7 Many Pharisees and Sadducees came to be baptized by John. He said to them, " You children of snakes! Who warned you to escape from the angry judgment that is coming soon? 8 Produce fruit that shows you have changed your hearts and lives. 9 And don't even think about saying to yourselves, Abraham is our father. I tell you that God is able to raise up Abraham's children from these stones. 10 The ax is already at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that doesn't produce good fruit will be chopped down and tossed into the fire. 11 I baptize with water those of you who have changed your hearts and lives. The one who is coming after me is stronger than I am. I'm not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. 12 The shovel he uses to sift the wheat from the husks is in his hands. He will clean out his threshing area and bring the wheat into his barn. But he will burn the husks with a fire that can't be put out. "

I really like this video. While I realize it's cheesy and emotionally manipulative, I also realize that the National Guard has made more sacrifices for their service in this century than in any other time in our nation's history.
So to this much-maligned branch of service...thank you.

"We need to make [retirement planning] digestible and easy," Kristi Mitchem, senior managing director and head of Global Defined Contribution for State Street Global Advisors (SSgA), said during a media event.
If language is not made simpler, participants may be too afraid to take action, she cautioned. A survey by SSgA found that 16% of participants polled do not "really know anything about" asset allocation, 12% do not know anything about the term "equity," and 10% do not know anything about the term "fund."
"All of these things for participants represent investment jargon," Mitchem said.
Plan sponsors are fairly aware that participants' investment knowledge is minimal, but they may be surprised to know participants do not understand these investment terms, she said.
When survey respondents were asked which description would best help them understand how a target-date fund (TDF) works, 33% said they preferred the following description: "Target-date funds are a diverse mix of investments like stocks, bonds and cash equivalents that periodically and automatically adjust over time to grow more conservative as you near your target retirement date."

Our family had a fabulous time vacationing in your home. The house and furnishings are exquisite and we had everything we needed to make our stay feel like home. We were fortunate enough to see dolphins and manatees playing in the surf while finding exotic seashells on our private beach. The grassy lawn was a wonderful touch to soothe hot feet at the end of the day. Watching the sun set over the turquoise waters was an amazing experience. I would recommend renting a boat from Cannons Marina for a fun day at sea. We were able to boat in front of the house and take pictures of our beautiful vacation mansion by the sea. The kids especially loved tubing and exploring "Beer Can Island" at the north end of Longboat Key as well as waiting with anticipation for the sea turtle nests to reveal their hatchlings. My family will always remember this as one of our best vacation experiences ever.Recommended for: Sightseeing, people with disabilities, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

Proof positive: fewer guns, less violence. End of story.
A good article, indeed. Although I would've touched on the GOP's cynical opposition to their own idea - the individual mandate. You can't push for the mandate for 20 years and then drop your support as soon as the other side wants to implement it and still look credible to serious people. The GOP would look a lot better in the eyes of many if they were instead saying, "this is what we wanted from the get-go."
I hope that people who either can't get insurance or choose not to buy it will now have coverage. We all know at least a few people who don't have insurance and have gone to the ER when injured or sick. Some of them pay those bills over time and some don't. But either way, that makes care more expensive for the rest of us.
Well, we also lost Ponikorovsky. As to the farm, we've got some talent down there and I actually like our newest draft pick. He's big and mean and will one day fit nicely into PDB's system.
This picture makes this guy look like he's about 17 years old. Well, I hope he gets the PT in Tampa he was looking for here. Unfortunately, there were just too many in line ahead of him. I like the way our D is shaping up, though. I don't agree with what some are saying around here that Tallinder is no good. I think he has the skill to make a strong impact this year. I really don't see LL making any trades before the summer is out. I think he likes that he's getting the core of the team back (with one obvious exception, of course) and I think he'll start with what we have. If I'm right, that means he's expecting BIG things from Henrique, Josefson, and, most of all, Kovy and Zajac.
Would like to see Fayne back. He was pretty solid in the playoffs.
I really don't like it when players collude to play with one another like this. LeBron James did the same thing with Bosh and Wade. As Magic Johnson said, "I would never have agreed to play on the Celtics or Bulls. I wanted to beat those guys."
This is good news to me. I liked the way he played in the playoffs and I like the fact that this helps to keep the core of the D together. I'm also expecting Greene and Fayne to be back next year because they were solid, especially in the PHI series.
It's interesting how much my head wants to agree with you and the rest of me does not.
I think John Madden might be an exception to your rule, though. He's a smallish guy who takes a pounding. He's not what he used to be, sure, but he's still rolling.
At the end of the day, though, if resigning ZP means two $100MM contracts for the Devils, it might not be worth it. The guy's great, but we can't have that much loot tied up in two forwards. I'd rather split the money and groom some solid D-men or maybe take a run at Suter. From what I've heard, he's looking at long term deals that, while still huge, are less than what ZP wants.
No one knows what this means. I don't think Lou would leave an offer out there for so long if he didn't think the Devs still had a chance at resigning him. Lou would probably have moved on and signed someone else and/or resigned Salvadore.
And what's this business about the Devils being far away from another Cup run?
I read in the NY Times that the team's debt is 105% of the total value of the franchise. That means that any new investor would have to be an equity owner. The team has no more collateral to offer and is completely underwater.
So, anyone who wants to fork over dough would essentially be placing a bet that he'd one day get a return on his investment.
I can't say that I'd be heartbroken over Fayne, either, but I like the way he played this year. He seemed to fit the LL style well and would be a solid defenseman for this team over the short run. So, I say, keep the guy.
Wow, this would be really sad. I assumed that Marty would take around $2M next year. But who's to say he was even offered that number? There are clubs out there that would take him, for sure, so I wouldn't assume that his age would keep suitors away.
Rich, can we get a little more detail? Who told you about all this?
Someone made the point on this site the other day that keeping Parise would mean having a lot of money and cap space tied up in two players that are technically supposed to be playing in the same position. I think that point was spot on and the reason Parise will be heading elsewhere.
Does anyone one know what the details on Henrique's contract are? thanks.
$9 or $10 a year? That's over the top.
I still don't understand how the Caps didn't get Hunter under contract. Although he's a jerk, so maybe I do understand.
Clock's ticking, Lou. We need our captain back next year!!!
Judges are appointed by the governor.
During the Rangers series I heard one of the Pierres talking about how Clarkson was hurt, but nothing more was mentioned. I'd bet he's nursing some injuries. The man takes a beating every night. I also think that Marty is at least sore and Volchenkov hasn't been more than a few inches from an ice pack since last week.
It was a great season and a lot of fun. Can't wait until October!
^^^^trade Zid and Tallinder??? That's the top D line and two guys who are now a part of the system. I say 'no' to that one. While Zid gave me agita at times during the post season, I think he's a keeper.
We have to have Marty back, but I agree with the general consensus here that we need some youth in net.
If you're Lou or Vanderbeek, you need to spend money on players who will bring success to the team. It's tough to draft, trade, and cobble your way to winning. And, when the team wins, they make money. It's like anything else: invest well, and you'll get a return.
$7.5 milion per year, that's what I'd offer. If Detroit wants to make him the highest paid player in the league, that's their dice-roll.

March 2nd to April 14th 2012 Exhibition opening: March 1st, 6-8 pm
Galerie Peter Kilchmann is pleased to present the third exhibition of Bernd Ribbeck. The artist was born in Cologne in 1974 and lives and works in Berlin. Ribbeck studied at the Hochschule der K¨¹nste in Berlin, the Akademie der bildenden K¨¹nste, Munich, and the Kunstakademie D¨¹sseldorf under Helmut Federle from 1995 to 2003. In the past, Bernd Ribbeck has created complex geometric paintings.
Now for the first time the artist presents a series of several smaller and some larger paintings on MDF boards, with which he followed the idea of symmetry even more consequently than ever. Ribbeck used the number zero as his measuring unit to construct his images. The smaller canvases (each 37 x 30 cm), grouped in a block, show freestanding circles painted with acrylic and pigment marker on upright backgrounds (see invitation card). In the case of the larger paintings the circle fills out the quadratic format entirely (each 70 x 70 cm). Bernd Ribbeck finds the circle interesting because it is first and foremost a simple geometric figure, but it can also be understood as a symbol and a form filled with content.
When trying to understand the figure of the circle, one quickly realizes how complex its nature is. In mathematics, a circle is defined as the sum of all points on a plane with the same distance from a given center. Following this description, a circle is a curve and not a plane. Circles are similar to each other in nature. Since circumference and diameter are fixed, their quotient is described as the mathematical constant ¦Ð. The number ¦Ð (or Pi) is also called a transcendental number. In different spiritual doctrines the circle signifies eternity and completeness. In dream interpretation it is a symbol for ʻconcentrated mental energy'. According to Persian lore, one's biggest dreams will come true if one encounters a circle. However, this does not apply to crop circles. For a long time English farmers were sure that the circles in their cornfields were ʻvicious circles', drawn by the devil.
The history of the circle can be traced ever further. Bernd Ribbeck, however, is not necessarily interested in the shape itself. He is primarily attracted to the simultaneity between a concrete form and an icon. The concentration on this one motif and its repeated examination in painting enables the artist to stay process-oriented in his work. Each completed painting acts as an answer, while simultaneously raising new questions, calling for more investigations. The promise of cognition and a utopian moment resonate in the paintings.
Bernd Ribbeck has been involved in numerous international exhibitions. Among others he participated in the group exhibitions ¡°Cosmos Rudolf Steiner¡± in the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart (with catalog) and ¡°oder so: Malerei, konkret, abstrakt¡° in the Overbeck-Gesellschaft in Luebeck in 2011. A catalog was published on behalf of the exhibition ¡°Ich und Du¡± in the Oldenburger Kunstverein in 2010 and can be obtained through the gallery. In June 2012 Bernd Ribbeck will participate in the exhibition ¡°Made in Germany ¨C Two. International Art in Germany¡± in the Kestnergesellschaft in Hannover.
The artist will be present for the opening. For further information and press pictures please contact Claudia Friedli (Telephone +41 44 278 10 12 or firstname.lastname@example.com)

Jenson Button says he is not expecting to win the World Championship in Japan in the wake of the series of grid penalties that have moved him and teammate Rubens Barrichello down the order.
The Brawn GP duo, plus Fernando Alonso and Adrian Sutil, were all demoted five places on the grid for the Suzuka race after they failed to slow down through a yellow flag zone in Q2 caused by Sebastien Buemi crashing on the exit of Spoon Corner.
That stewards' decision moves Barrichello and Button provisionally down to 10th and 12th position on the grid, and the British driver admitted late on Saturday night that the situation now makes it unlikely he will take the points he needs to be champion on Sunday.
"It possibly could happen tomorrow, but that is not the way I am looking at it," Button explained. "I am looking at it as any other race – as it is. It is another race.
"If I was able to win the championship, something would seriously have to go wrong with the other drivers – so I am not expecting it. I go into tomorrow just looking forward to scoring points and finishing as high as I can."
Button believes he was correct in not lifting when going through the incident, but he fully respects the reasons why the race stewards punished him.
"From my point of view I did the right thing," he said. "I took avoiding action and when I saw the yellow flag, it was just before where the incident was with the front wing. I moved to one side.
"I thought, for me, it was unsafe to lift off because there could have been a car behind and you also don't want to be moving across the circuit at high speed and lifting. Then, as soon as I passed the front wing I saw the green flag down the circuit, so I knew it was clear – and kept my foot in. That was it.
"The regulations say that you have to slow down enough and you have to lift off the throttle, which I didn't do. So I got penalized. I respect their decision, but for me at that moment in time it was the best thing to do in that one second to make my decision. But I respect the decision.
"I am down in 12th, Rubens is just in front in 10th, and there are a couple of slow cars in front of him. So it is going to be an exciting race for us I think, the first few laps."
Button believes that with Sebastian Vettel having proved so strong in Saturday running, victory for the German on Sunday would put him firmly back in the title hunt.
That is why he has set his own target as simply finishing in the points – which could prove vital in deciding the outcome of the championship battle.
"Vettel is starting in pole, and if he wins the race it puts him in the chase and he is back in the championship hunt," said Button. "And they [Red Bull] are very, very quick around here. They have been quick around here all day, so if [Lewis] Hamilton does not get him off the line I think Vettel will walk it. But we will make the best out of the situation we are in."
He added: "This won't be the only race that gives me the world championship if I am going to win it. It is every single race from here on in. If I finish five points in front of Rubens I can still win the championship, but that is not something I am concentrating on.
"In a straightforward race, Vettel is going to score a lot of points here. We are going to circuits that will suit our car a lot more – Brazil, which is more low-speed corners, but especially Abu Dhabi. Nobody has been there yet, which is exciting to me, and it is a circuit that is very low speed – so it should suit our car.
"It is very exciting and very tense, but this is a moment I should be enjoying, which I am. It is great for F1 obviously seeing Vettel at the front and us back in 10th and 12th."

Recapping the Stormfront Soap Opera
Posted By Mark Potok On August 8, 2008 @ 9:15 am In Podcasts,White Supremacist | 13 Comments
On this week's podcast, Heidi Beirich and I discuss her eyebrow-raising story about Chloe Black [1], the former wife of Klan leader David Duke who is currently married to Don Black, founder of the white supremacist website Stormfront. Chloe Black, who has a long movement history of her own, has been fronting for a school meant to lift black and Latino kids out of poverty. What's more, when she insisted to reporters that she was no racist, there was a remarkable unintended consequence — a major, angry backlash from her husband's racist supporters.

This is positive action for this woman to persue.
In this day of the Nazi Infested false Klans, it is refreshing to see that she and Mr. Black would be bold enough to show that the origional Klanspeople were fine geneorous Christian, Non Violent, American Citizens
Many things are changing , Pay attention more will be revealed.

The recent report on the person threatening to harm Presidential Candidate Obama is not an isolated incident. There are dozens of white supremacists plotting to try the same thing. As the economy continues to spread distress across all ethnic groups, desparate acts will continue.

I agree that every day I hear someone say that someone should assinate him. I say WRONG
One Catholic Priest even stated to me, "Where is the Klan when we need them ? Now that was profound and I certainnly didnt give away my annonimity
However, these folks arent only white supremicist, they have no idea who I am, and are not only White, But also Black people So my point is that there is a lot of doubt amoungst everyone.
The issue of experiance and His obvious Black Supremacy style Church affiliations have brought people from all walks of life to ponder justifiable skeptacism.
I agree that if he is elected there will be more racial unreast, it will be a difficult task for the media to undo the negatvity without accepting their own responsibility for taunting the possibility of a comming race war.
Hatewatch itself is guilty of fueling the fire.
I personaly say that if Obama is our next Pres. then I will continue to be the red blooded American that I have always been and will continue to defend our people "ALL PEOPLE" for the benifit of all of our children.
Mr. OBAMA HAS HAD FEDERAL PROTECTION WAY BEFORE HIS CANDIDACY WAS ANNOUNCED, I BELIEVE THAT IF ANYTHING "harm" HAPPENS TO HIM THAT IT WILL COME FROM THE INSIDE NOT A RANDOM SUPREMICIST.
As far as Ms. Chloe goes, I can personally say that there comes a time in the confusion of the Supremicist world when you have to look within yourself and take inventory of your own beliefs, maybe she has realized that helping those in need is a major part of the redemption process. It aggrivates me to see people denying her genorosity and example to restore her own dignity.
It has worked for me and as they say ACTION / RESULTS
Anyone that has displayed compassion for a child of any color should not be doubted but uplifted and ecouraged.
What is most ignored and dodged by those who cover THE NEW KlANS and associates is that there is a major change underway and the issue of Christianity has become first and foremost over Racism .
The troublemakers and vigilanties are being weeded out and ousted. Good riddance, we have work to do in this New Civil Rights Era.

Here's anti-White racism in action:
CONEY ISLAND [Black] MOB BEATS EX-MARINES RESCUING GIRL
By PHILIP MESSING
August 11, 2008 –
A wolf pack of at least 30 thugs viciously attacked two hero ex-Marines in Brooklyn after they rescued a teenage girl who was being assaulted, police and witnesses said yesterday.
The two former Marines, meanwhile, insist that the violence had racial overtones, although the assault has not been labeled a bias crime.
Bukler said, "Those in the crowd were yelling, 'Hey, white boys, you're in the 'hood now!' We were yelling back, 'We don't care – we live here!'
I've been noticing a pattern how there are quite a few mob attacks by Blacks. I'm assuming that the culprits in the article above are Black.
#5 Comment By Ken Mier On August 12, 2008 @ 8:04 am
Mr. Messing
Unfortunantly, many cties have become hoods.
I will leave it to the readers to establish how and why ?
#6 Comment By George On August 12, 2008 @ 11:20 pm
Oh my God! The horror! Two extremists being intolerant of other ethnic groups.
Mr. Potok and Ms. Beirich, so what? What's your point?
#7 Comment By madinirose On August 15, 2008 @ 4:10 pm
After reading a lot on white supremacy from many sides; what gets me is how its adherents claim to be the best definers of what being white really is. Since when does this small group of people have the right to be definitive voice of white people in the world?
You can still be proud of your heritage and still respect other cultures. Yes, European culture has many oppresive and negative aspect to it. So does just about every other culture in world. It's a part of being human.
And it appears that many white supremacists believe that you can had it both ways. You can call blacks and hispanics "mud races" and still claim you are not a racist. You can talk about how great Hitler was and yet not be about Nazism. And what's worst is you actually think that these views are scientifically provable? For, me, it only shows that your grasp on "white" pride is finite and fleeting. Why should anyone rely on poor science and misconceptions to instill pride within themselves or anybody else? To me, real pride is accepting the good and bad sides of who you are, what your culture is, etc. Can anyone of these white supremacist honestly say that have real "white pride" when they can't see the full and complete picture of what their culture is? When their pride rests on accepting all of the good and minimizing and deflecting all of the bad? And when they can't seem to understand that the culture they claim to be protecting owes a lot to the cultures of darker-skin people (and vice versa)? Cultures change. It's inevitable. You can preserve, but there will always be change. And what you are preserving is, in and of itself, is a product of change that occurred years before you were born.
And where's Ms. Black's "white pride" when she denies believing in or involvement with white nationalism and supremacism? I guess her job was more important than her pride. That's Mr. Potok's and Ms. Beirich's point! And where was her pride when she took that job in the first place? She's helping her enemies? Since when did the KKK (in all of its era) ever want to help non-white people? Where were these "original" klanspeople"? So I guess we are rewriting history as well.
This story exposes the contradictions and inconsistencies of a seriously flawed ideology. An ideology that its adherents grossly violate and can't live up to. Why paint yourself in a corner like this when you will ultimately fail? Well, if you want to waste your time running on this perpetual hamster wheel, go right ahead. Just don't be surprised if you don't have that many people joining you. Even Chloe herself couldn't stay on.
#8 Comment By Jonathan On August 16, 2008 @ 12:30 am
It's easy to critique and dismiss an ideology as flawed by "cherry picking" certain facts or comments by individuals. For example, on the SPLC website people say that "White Supremacists" are losers, failures, malcontents, etc., but then go on to discuss the phenomenon of "White privilege" – people with wealth and power must be giving this privilege, which implies that "racist" Whites are the ones with wealth and power. Seems like a contradiction to me.
The term "White Supremacist" is a term the anti-White propagandists use, it's intentional mislabeling. How often do you hear it used for other racial/ethnic groups? David Duke discusses "Jewish Supremacism" often, but he actually defines it as basically the desire to exploit and control others. All White Nationalist groups, which I've studied stress separatism, not exploitation. Would you consider Israel a "Jewish Supremacist" state?
I agree with you that one can – and I feel should – respect other cultures (I'd also add respect of other races too). I really object to the term "mud races". Part of having sincere respect is also respecting your own culture and race and the willingness to defend it. People who claim to respect others yet work to destroy their own culture and especially race are phonies, there is something deeply flawed with them; how can you truly respect others if you don't respect yourself?
"what gets me is how its adherents claim to be the best definers of what being white really is. Since when does this small group of people have the right to be definitive voice of white people in the world?"
Don't let them get to you. You are free to define it as you see fit. You can even log on to their forums and tell them what being White really is. You might even get to them!
#9 Comment By Slavyanski On August 16, 2008 @ 4:55 am
First off, remember that White Nationalists are not White supremacists, who believe that white people are superior. They will just tell you that every significant invention in history was accomplished by whites, and that only whites have done anything great in the fields of culture and science, or that all that is good and noble in the world is "white", and bad modes of behavior are "non-white" as in: "Hey those criminals in Eastern Europe are acting non-white." How is THAT superiority?
Oh and they aren't Nazis either. They may say that it would have been better if Hitler won the war. They may talk endlessly about how Hitler should have won the war. They may drone on about how Germany was the real victim of WWII. They may challenge and argue endlessly against any atrocity claim against the Third Reich while making FDR out to be some kind of bloodthirsty madman. They might defend EVERY Fascist and Fascist collaborater from Antonescu to Tiso. They may talk about how National Socialism is the most logical form of government. But dammit, they AREN'T Nazis!!!
#10 Comment By Jonathan On August 16, 2008 @ 2:50 pm
"First off, remember that White Nationalists are not White supremacists, who believe that white people are superior."
Good clarification. There are probably lots of people who believe they are "superior", e.g., Jews, Chinese, Japanese, etc. Who cares what they think? But one should ask "superior at doing what"? For example, West Africans are superior at sprinting. Whites build most livable societies according to surveys of where the best places to live are.
With regard to inventions, read the "Pursuit of Excellence" by Charles Murray or "Intellectual History of the 20th Century" by Peter Watson.
#11 Comment By madinirose On August 16, 2008 @ 6:46 pm
First of all, let me just say I'm not white. I'm black. The reason why I mentioned the last bit in my previous post because just as I don't like it when others (including other blacks) try to claim that they have the definitive answer for what it is to be black; I'm almost certain that there are whites are there who feel the same way about white supremacy/nationalism. To quote the director of the documentary "Nazi Pop Twins," – "What does Hitler and Nazism have to do with being white?"
Slavyanski's post sums up exactly how I feel about this issue. These terms get thrown around by adherents whenever the situation suits them. Sure, being a white separatist would simply mean wanting whites to live separately from other ethnic groups. However, when these same people believe that whites are superior to other races and idolize Hitler; that also makes them white supremacists and neo-Nazis. However, call them on this and they will say, "No, that's not true. We're just white separatists." I'm sorry but you can't have it both ways.
Now, granted, the supremacy is not a term used to coin others in other ethnic groups who feel that their race is superior. It probably should. I'm familiar with the ideology of the Nation of Islam and other extremist black groups and I would definitely classify them as "black supremacists." And no matter how you cut it; David Duke is a white supremacist. He believes that whites are superior to all other races on the planet (especially jews). He will hide behind other labels whenever convenient, but it doesn't change the main impetus for his views.
Not I don't know whether or not the these white supremacists actually are losers, etc, but many of them act like it. Also, "white privilege" isn't just something reserved for the rich and powerful. Most whites in America have "white privilege" because our society still favors thems over other ethnic groups. Now, this is slowly changing and this is why white nationalist/supremacist/separtists are malcontents. While the rest of white America is trying to overcome their prejudices, these guys refuse to. They want to go back to a time when white privilege was not only accepted, but it was the law.
And now, I go back to my previous statement, "why does this small group of people get to define what being white is." It has gotten to the point now that any white person who does show any amount of pride in their heritage could be seen as a racist. You talk about "white privilege". I know you've heard of "white guilt." Thanks to political correctness; nobody wants to talk openly about race (especially whites) for fear of being labelled negativity. And while nobody else is talking, white nationalist/separatist/supremacist get to defining "whiteness." And meanwhile, on my side of the fence, we've got people like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and even Louis Farrakhan are defining "blackness." This is BS!!!
#12 Comment By Jonathan On August 18, 2008 @ 11:44 am
Some good points you make. I didn't know you were Black.
Correct, Hitler doesn't have much to do with being White. One could argue that Hitler was in a way anti-White: French, Poles, Ukrainians didn't seem as important as Germans. If some of the people to whom you refer were honest with themselves they probably would not be so enthusiastic about Hitler. Most of the pro-White organizations, with which I'm familiar either never mention Hitler or are anti-Hitler.
With respect to "malcontentism", one could argue that only conservatives are not malcontents with conservatism being defined as content with the status quo. For example, Obama alleged represents "change" and thus attracts people discontented with the status quo.
David Duke: I still don't see him as a "supremacist"; he certainly doesn't see Jews as "inferior"; he recognizes Jews as an intelligent, rich and powerful ethnicity.
"White Guilt" seems to exist, although I'm free from it. But I'm baffled by the concept of "White Privilege", I see almost no evidence of it, actually quite the opposite. Where in government policy does anything favor Whites? Immigration; government-induced demographic changes? Affirmative action? Funding of "La Raza"? In addition, there's the cult of "White Guilt". The list goes on …
#13 Comment By madinirose On August 20, 2008 @ 5:29 pm
When dealing with US institutionalized racism; you will never see an explicit government policy that favors one group over the other. It all comes down to implementation. Policymakers and those who implement policy still discriminate against those who are not favored. And yes, the same government then turns around and intacts initiatives which it thinks it will remedy the problem. But, to no avail. There is such a thing as "white privilege", but now that discrimination is technically illegal; it is not openly expressed.
Now, this doesn't mean, that I feel that more laws should be passed to remedy this. I really don't think that it will help. Despite the charges of "reverse discrimation", affirmative action and all of the other things you mentioned; the majority of the power and wealth in the US is still in white hands. A part of this is due to discrimination. But, another part is response of those being discriminated against. The Civil Rights Movement did a fantastic job of removing the legal and strong social barriers for non-whites to move up. But actually moving up is another story. Many current black leaders are failing because they keep holding on to techniques that are outdated and ineffective. They still think it's the 1960s in Selma or Atlanta or Birmingham or another southern city where the those marches took place. Needless to say, times have changed.
And once again, I must disagree with you about David Duke. He is a supremacist. He has articles on his website that say that blacks are inferior to whites. He claims that scientific studies can prove this. These studies supposedly prove why affirmative action, etc. have not been successful. This is basically what this movement is trying to do now. They are trying to show that their racist views can be proven by science. And if they can sell people on that then they can say that they are not racist; they are only being realistic. I'm sorry, but I just don't buy it.
One of these so-called scientific studies state that brain-size and intelligence are related to penis size. The bigger the penis; the smaller the brain and the less intelligence. I had to crack up laughing when I saw this study. It doesn't chime with my own experiences. If this bogus study were true; I know many black men who would be classified as geniuses and white men who would be classified as dummies. All scientific studies should make room for exceptions, etc. However, the exceptions from this bogus study are just too numerous for me to take seriously.

text: McLaren believes it can come away from the Singapore Grand Prix feeling it has made a step forward with its car - despite seeing Ferrari and Red Bull Racing lock out the front row of the grid.The team went into the Singapore weekend viewing it as a crunch race that would set the tone for the remainder of the championship campaign. Although Red Bull has appeared to maintain its pace-setting form, on single-laps at least – with Sebastian Vettel's qualifying errors letting Fernando Alonso grab pole position – McLaren is not disheartened at getting out-paced by its main opposition.The team's managing director Jonathan Neale said: "Coming here and putting our cars there to lock out the second row, we will come away feeling that this was good."This was a race that we were more concerned about relative to others that are coming up on the horizon. It was a good day for us yesterday, and both drivers feel that they left something on the circuit - but I don't know a driver who has come away from a qualifying session not having felt that."As well as working on updates to help stabilise the rear of the car through better blowing of engine air through the diffuser, McLaren's main car development for this weekend was a new front wing, which helped deliver a step forward in pace. But Neale believes the full potential of the wing will not be felt until high-speed tracks like Suzuka."The new front wing is visually quite different," he said. "We have more to come from that on the high-speed circuits and I don't think we have seen everything that we are going to get from that here."But what has given us more confidence here is what is going on at the rear of the car, and that is work that has gone on behind the scenes over the last few races."Neale also suggests that McLaren will become more risk averse in the next few races, as the tension of the title chase increases."As the championship plays out in the next few races our attitude to risk is changing slightly," he said. "One race difference between the five drivers means we have to be faultless, and we know accidents can change things very quickly here."So the last thing we want to do is push the risk too much. But we have more coming as I am sure the other teams have. I was in the airport on Friday morning with a lot of bits – and watching all Adrian Newey's stuff coming through in cardboard boxes was incredible."Neale also revealed that one of McLaren's new front wings nearly did not make it to the track at all, after failing to get off-loaded at Singapore airport following its flight from London."I brought a reasonable amount of last-minute parts with me and I had one of the new front wings with me. It was beautifully packaged, as these things always are, when they come out."I checked when it went onto the airline that it had been loaded, and it had, so I waited at the other end for it to emerge. Then all the suitcases with various parts came through and I was waiting for this wing box. Then all of Adrian's stuff was going by me, but not our box. The aircraft engineers had assumed that, because it was so well packaged, it was actually part of the aircraft equipment and not luggage, so they left it on the plane. It took us a couple of hours to go and find it."

Gazprom's corporate headquarters in Moscow
Gazprom has announced plans to quadruple the price it charges Belarus for gas this winter, raising rates from $46 per thousand cubic meter (tcm) to $200/tcm. The move comes as a surprise to some Western analysts who view Gazprom's actions solely through the prism of politics, since Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko is still viewed as a loyal ally of the Kremlin. But the move does not surprise energy analysts who have been closely following Gazprom's frequent statements about the need to modernize its pricing structure.
As Russia Blog reported this time last year, the very brief interruption of natural gas deliveries to Ukraine on New Year's 2006 was exacerbated by politics, but the decision was fundamentally driven by economics. Gazprom wanted to end the siphoning of natural gas from the pipelines it uses to export gas to Western Europe that cross Ukrainian territory. The fallout from the Orange Revolution gave Gazprom the political cover it needed from the Kremlin to act in a way that it knew would be unpopular in the West. But after all the hype about Russia flexing its muscles as an energy superpower, the end result was a compromise that pushed prices in Ukraine closer to European levels. And while Europeans were reminded of their growing dependency on Russian natural gas, the alternative sources for the Continent - the Greater Middle East and West Africa - aren't likely to be more stable suppliers than Russia anytime soon.
Russian President Vladimir Putin lights Russian Orthodox candles with Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko while Kazahk President Nursultan Nazarbayev looks on
A brief glance at Gazprom's own charts showing how much gas it is legally obligated to sell at discounted rates implies that if the company wants to meet its ambitious export goals, it must start raising prices now. It is much easier for Russian politicians to charge foreigners higher prices (even Russian allies like Belarus and Armenia) than to accelerate the painful process of moving towards market rates for gas back home. Gazprom is expected to double wholesale gas prices inside Russia from the current $40/tcm to $90/tcm by 2010, but the limits on how quickly it can raise prices at home are determined by Russian law. Some analysts believe that any major price increases will be put off until after Russia's presidential election in 2008.
According to RIA Novosti, Belarus will receive $7 billion in subsidies this year from Russia in the form of cheap natural gas and duty free crude. Today Belarus pays only $46.67/tcm for Russian gas, while most European countries pay prices closer to $215-$230/tcm. After the price dispute between Moscow and Kiev last winter, the Ukrainian government agreed to pay Gazprom $130/tcm in 2007. President Lukashenko wants to negotiate a similar compromise for Belarus, but to do so he may have to sell off half of Belarus' prized state pipeline company, Beltransgaz.
In order to continue to receive subsidized gas for a few more years, Gazprom has told all of the former Soviet republics that they must sell stakes in their pipelines and other energy infrastructure to the Russian gas monopoly. The Georgian government has been the fiercest critic of this proposal, arguing that because Georgia is a conduit for relatively cheap natural gas from former Soviet Central Asia, it should receive lower prices. The Russians have countered by reducing gas deliveries to Georgia's neighbor Azerbaijan, so that the Azeris cannot resell their surplus to the Georgians. Both the Azeri and Georgian governments have said that they will continue to negotiate for lower prices while importing more gas from Iran to meet the shortfall this winter. Armenia has already agreed to sell its natural gas pipeline network to Gazprom in return for some reprieve, but it too will be importing more gas from Iran this winter.
To read more Russia Blog coverage of Gazprom, click on the links below, or just scroll down the index of articles in the Energy section:
Gazprom's Dilemma
Gazprom Expands U.S. PR and Investment Campaign
Can Russia Substitute More Coal for Natural Gas?
Gazprom is warning Belarus not to siphon gas from the Yamal-Europe export pipeline that crosses its territory on the way to Lithiuania, Poland and Germany if Gazprom cuts deliveries to the former Soviet republic on January 1.
Some Western commentators view Gazprom's demands for price increases as the latest example of Russia blackmailing its neighbors with energy. In response, Russia Profile's Dimitry Babich asks: why should Russia continue to subsidize Lukashenko's government with cheap gas?

ROCKFORD, Ill. – The Rockford College men's basketball team continued their high scoring offensive output on Saturday, with a 90-82 victory over visiting Clarke College. Through four games, the Regents, whose record is now standing at 3-1, are averaging 98.2 points per game.
Rockford got off to another good start as junior Robert Malone (Stephens, Ark./ Stephens) scored the game's first six points and eight of the team's first 11. The Crusaders managed a comeback taking a 16-15 lead at the 12:41 mark. But over the next three minutes, the Regents responded to retake the lead for good, eventually pushing their advantage to 10 points several times over the final seven minutes of the half. At the break, the Regents led 47-37 on the strength of Malone's first half double-double of 18 points and 10 rebounds. Senior guard Danny Armelin (Gonzales, Texas/ Gonzales) added 14 points for the Regents.
Both clubs played the second half very evenly. The Crusaders continued to mount comebacks, and each time, the Regents responded, never allowing their lead to get below three. A late 9-0 run by the Regents, one in which all five players on the court scored, extended Rockford's advantage to 84-72 with just over three minutes to play.
For the game, Malone led the Regents with 29 points and 17 rebounds, while Armelin netted 22 points. Seniors Garrett Staniec (Glenview, Ill./ Glenbrook South) and Andrew Weber (Roscoe, Ill./ Boylan) added 16 points, seven rebounds and 13 points, 4 assists, respectively.
The Regents will hit the road on Tuesday, when they travel to Mequon, Wisconsin to face Concordia University Wisconsin in their Northern Athletics Conference opener.

Need A Business Loan But Have Bad Credit? Look to Horizon
In today's economic climate, many entrepreneurs and business owners are having considerable difficulty securing funds to start a new business or financing an existing one. For individuals with bad credit, business loans can be nearly impossible to obtain, as traditional lenders such as banks and credit unions are extremely reluctant to release funds to "high risk" applicants. Additionally, even for those who are able to qualify for bank loans, the rigorous approval process, which can last for weeks or even months, might simply take too long if the capital is needed right away.
While financing programs offered by direct lenders are not technically bad credit business loans, they can provide effective, short-term financing solutions for businesses that require immediate working capital. Short-term lending is great for expenses such as equipment financing or repairs, remodeling facilities, and paying other costs required for operating a business.
Horizon provides fast approval and funding within 48 hours, so you can get the capital you need right away. Our business cash advances range from $3,000 up to $1,000,000. Additionally, there is no fixed repayment term, and our payment plans are designed to put minimal strain on your business' cash flow.
If you are looking for start-up funds, keep in mind that most direct lenders and merchant cash advance providers require applicants to have been in business for at least 3 months. But if you can provide bank statements proving that your business has grossed at least $25,000 per month for 3 months or more, you will likely qualify.
