Credit Card Center Advertiser Disclosure†
10-08-2008 02:34 PM - edited 10-09-2008 10:39 AM
I applied for a siggie loan on lendingtree.com to consolidate my CCs. I am self employed and I am having a hard time proving income, but Beneficial offered to refi my car instead of giving me a siggie.
Heres the deal:
Currently with Cap One Auto Finance (I hate them)
Bought the car in Feb 08. Made one pmt 15days late, got a $40 fee and they refuse to waive it. Couldn't get approved thru CU cuz I rolled over some negative equity.
The rate is 13.91% for 6 years. =$707.80 monthly
Offer is from Beneficial
Next pmt is 45 days out (which saves me $1420 right now, so I can apply that towards my CCs)
APR 13.80% BUT they will only do 5 years, so the pmt is $770.
They are saying they can approve me with bank statements and my tax return (there is about a 40k difference between the statements and returns).
Should I do it???
The 770 pmt won't be a problem. If I can apply the 1420 towards my CCs that will actually save me $150 on monthly bills because I am sending large pmts to this CC every month currently.
Anyone with Beneficial???
Likes or dislikes????
I have a Sears card with a promo balance of 2300. 1350 of that expires in Nov 08, I will put the 1420 in saved car pmts towards the Sears balance. Which brings my CC util down to 64.5% from 87%
Util for the card will go from 75% to 31%.
Will I be helping or hurting myself by refinancing???
My util would be lowered due to the money I save on car pmts getting applied to CC debt, but my Cap One Auto account would be PIF after only 8 months and a new auto account would be created.
advice please on Beneficial
I used them years ago. They were nice and easy to deal with. Now I believe you have to own a home to work with them.
But I don't know that this is the best action for you. I'll let other chime in on that.

Oh, so that is why they stopped sending me the fake checks. I felt unloved when they stopped writing me. At least I have Citifinancial sending me their $5k checks.
I do own a home, and I have been approved, just waiting for my proof of income to clear.
Has anyone, looked at your FICO scores after having a loan with them?
I'm afraid of my score plummeting.
I'm trying to boost my score by lowering my CC util, but if this reports as a CFL and hurts me, it defeats the purpose of the refi.
anyone know how an auto loan with Beneficial affected your FICO???

ALEX Gidman led from the front as Gloucestershire became the first team to beat runaway Division Two leaders Worcestershire in the County Championship this season.
The 33-year-old, standing in as captain with Michael Klinger ruled out with a neck injury, confirmed his return to form by hitting 146 in the first innings before his unbeaten 45 from just 43 balls in the second saw Gloucestershire wrap up a seven-wicket win inside three days.
It was also Gloucestershire's first Championship triumph at New Road since 1986, Chris Dent hitting a run-a-ball 51 as they reached their target of 177 in 35.3 overs.
Gareth Roderick fell just two runs short of a century and shared a 161-run third wicket stand with Gidman in the first innings as Gloucestershire made 378 in reply to Worcestershire's 194.
Richard Oliver led the fight back for the home side by scoring 179 in their second innings, but they lost their last five wickets for 39 runs to slip to 360 all out as Liam Norwell finished with 4-69 and Gloucestershire wasted no time in getting the runs.

Kick in the Head: Stories
In stories that are as diverting as they are disconcerting, Steven Rinehart plumbs the psyche of that most perplexing beast: the American male. Set against a stark Midwestern landscape dotted with trailers, guns, cars, and crashed, these are deftly crafted and oddly resonant portraits of men behaving badly and men who have it bad usually at the same time. A Boy Scout struggles through a bizarre boys-to-men ritual. A man starts a love affair with a diabetic who prefers booze to insulin. Another man who's finally enjoying his first sex-only relationship destroys it by clinging to a white lie. From the high school teacher battling his attraction to a troubled student to the patron who becomes a conspirator in a violent outburst in a bar, these are guys who have a lot to learn and seem to insist on doing so the hard way. Linked throughout the collection in surprising ways, Rinehart's stories ultimately form a cohesive work that introduces his as a writer of striking vision and offers a sharp-focus snapshot of men who need a kick in the head and get it when they least expect it.

BROOKSVILLE — For years, Hernando officials have talked about taking the sheriff's spending out of the county budget and putting it into a separate taxing unit, which would have its own line on the annual property tax notice.
The reason was simple: The sheriff's budget is a huge piece of the overall spending; breaking it out would show taxpayers just how much they are paying for public safety.
And, for years, Sheriff Richard Nugent has resisted.
The issue will surface again at Tuesday's County Commission meeting.
The difference this time? Nugent likes the idea now.
"We're willing to investigate the possibilities'' Nugent said Thursday. "We need to find out how we're going to fund public safety.''
The county has told Nugent, the other constitutional officers, and county department heads how much they will be expected to trim their budgets to help bridge the anticipated $10.5 million revenue shortfall in the 2010 county budget.
The sheriff's hit was $4.2 million out of his $33 million budget estimate.
Nugent said he wished he had more time to look at target budget numbers and the idea of the taxing authority. But with the research his staff has done to date, "we will be in favor'' of moving forward, he said.
"I'm willing to stand up and say what it costs to do what we have to do,'' Nugent said.
In the past, he said, "there was never a strong case presented as to why we should do this.''
"Today is a different day,'' Nugent said. "Today, with the current crisis in the county, this is a way for us to separate out for people to make a decision if public safety is indeed a priority to them or just something they talk about.''
On Tuesday, county administration will ask the commission about setting up a Municipal Services Taxing Unit to fund public safety. If the board says yes, they will get more details at their June 9 meeting, said deputy county administrator Larry Jennings.
That would give the commissioners enough time to hold a public hearing on June 23 on an ordinance creating the taxing district. If approved, it would meet the July 1 deadline and allow the item to be on next year's tax bills.
The sheriff's MSTU would be a standalone item on the bill, much like assessments for the water district and other taxing authorities.
"It just defines what we're spending for public safety. It makes it easier for people to decide what they want to spend on public safety,'' Jennings said.
One big wrinkle in this is the recently approved tax rate caps on local governments.
The caps would still apply to the county tax rate whether it stays as a single tax or becomes a county tax plus a new MSTU. The total of the two funds would still be the same rate unless the County Commission opts to raise the millage rate.
Separating out the sheriff's budget could make it easier for the commissioners to argue to taxpayers the need to raise the tax rate, said former Commissioner Diane Rowden, who tried three times as a board member to create the separate taxing unit for the sheriff.
The public may be more willing to accept higher taxes to pay for public safety, she said.
With the sheriff facing possible staff cuts in order to hack $4.2 million out of his budget, the timing for the change is perfect, Rowden said.
"Safety is all about people. You've got to have enough manpower out there to provide the safety,'' she said. "This would make it real clear'' what the funds would be used to provide.
Since property values have not been certified yet for taxing purposes for next year, it is not clear whether the county would be able to raise the tax rate to make up for the falling property values.
Jennings said the assumption is that values will have fallen to the point that the county could increase the tax rate to make up for lost revenue.
That might leave wiggle room for the county to recover some of the lost revenues anticipated for the 2010 budget.
There are numerous details still to be worked out if the commissioners decide to move forward with the separate taxing authority. One of those details is how to handle the property owners of the city of Brooksville, which does receive service by the sheriff that city residents now pay for through their county tax bill.
The law that allows such taxing units to be created are only for unincorporated areas. Jennings said talks with Brooksville officials are planned.

See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/xfunc-c.html for how you develop, install, and use these sorts of functions. otherwise, AFAIK, you'd have to design a new compressed data protocol for pgsql, implement it in the postgres postmaster, and implement it in the jdbc client library (as well as pgsql.so for the client applications that aren't written in Java).

Davy Russell landed a treble at Galway in the Gigginstown House Stud colours highlighted by the ready victory of Shrapnel in the feature Faber Audiovisuals Ballybrit Novice Chase.
Gordon Elliott's charge was sent off the 5-4 favourite to remain unbeaten over fences after his victory at Fairyhouse earlier this month, and he was always prominent in the Grade Three contest.
The seven-year-old led after five out and Russell looked in control of the situation thereafter as Clar Na Mionn and Six Stone Ned gave chase, passing the post with two and a half lengths to spare from the former.
The betting suggested defeat was out of the question for Punchestown bumper winner Very Wood on his jumps debut in the Corrib Oil Maiden Hurdle, and the four-year-old never gave supporters a moment's worry.
Russell allowed him to stride on going out on to the final circuit and Noel Meade's 2-11 favourite jumped the last flight with a clear advantage over Blow The Doors Off before winning by three and a half lengths.
The jockey also scored when the Philip Fenton-trained Band Of Blood (evens favourite) eased into the lead after the second-last and quickly asserted to take the Barna Waste Rated Novice Hurdle by an easy eight lengths.
There was a nice pot on offer for the Sanserv Handicap Hurdle and it was won by the Dessie Hughes-trained 4-1 chance Nearly Nama'd after a war of attrition in the testing conditions.
Bryan Cooper led all the way in the JP McManus colours and after seeing off the challenge of favourite Maxim Gorky, the five-year-old then had to pull out all the stops to hold Holeinthewall Bar by a length.
Michael Hourigan's 11-4 shot Aerlite Supreme, four times second last season, dug deep on the run-in under Adrian Heskin to hold the persistent challenge of Sonny B by a head in the CCTV Venue Control Maiden Hurdle.
Martin Cullinane's Georgie (100-30) cleared away from the last under Danny Mullins to win the Renvyle House Hotel Handicap Chase by 11 lengths.

Over the last century SCOTUS has been selectively 'incorporating' the Bill of Rights to apply against the States (and hence municipalities formed under those states).
Ripped from Wikipedia:
Amendment V
Right to indictment by a grand jury
This right has been held not to be incorporated against the states. See Hurtado v. California, 110 U.S. 516 (1884).
Protection against double jeopardy
This right has been incorporated against the states. See Benton v. Maryland, 395 U.S. 784 (1969).
Constitutional privilege against self-incrimination
This right has been incorporated against the states. See Malloy v. Hogan, 378 U.S. 1 (1964).
A note about the Miranda warnings: The text of the Fifth Amendment does not require that the police, before interrogating a suspect whom they have in custody, give him or her the now-famous Miranda warnings. Nevertheless, the Court has held that these warnings are a necessary prophylactic device, and thus required by the Fifth Amendment by police who interrogate any criminal suspect in custody, regardless of whether he or she is ultimately prosecuted in state or federal court.
Protection against taking of private property without just compensation
This right has been incorporated against the states. See Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Co. v. City of Chicago, 166 U.S. 226 (1897).
So in the main the 5th does in the main apply as a restriction on the powers of the City & County of Honolulu.
The McDonald Vs Chicago decision incorporated the 2nd Amendment as a restriction on the powers of the States and the municipalities formed within them.

By Alex Kreit, assistant professor of law and director of the Center for Law and Social Justice at Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego. Kreit is author of the ACS Issue Brief, "Toward a Public Health Approach to Drug Policy."
Now that California's Proposition 19, which would have legalized marijuana, has gone down in defeat, those who follow drug policy issues are beginning to reflect on why the initiative failed to pass and what the result might mean for marijuana policy going forward.
As someone who researches and writes about controlled substances laws, I'm happy to have the opportunity to share a few preliminary thoughts of my own.
With regard to why Proposition 19 faltered, there are a number of individual factors that likely cost the measure a few percentage points of support, such as insufficient funds for a statewide television ad campaign and running the measure in a midterm where youth turnout was much lower than in a presidential cycle. But, it is also important to keep in mind that passage was always something of a long shot.
Although polling showed the initiative with support in the low 50-percent range for much of the campaign, conventional wisdom holds that measures polling below 60 percent going into a campaign are unlikely to pass. This is because most ballot initiatives tend to lose support over time, particularly in the home stretch of the campaign. Simply put, it's easier to convince someone to vote against something than for it. A vote against a ballot measure preserves the status quo. As a result, sowing one or two doubts about an initiative in a voter's mind is usually enough to get that person to oppose it, even if he or she is generally supportive of the aims of the initiative.
The "No on Prop.19" campaign smartly played on this dynamic. Their campaign slogan, for example, did not even mention marijuana legalization but instead called on voters to reject the initiative because it was "a jumbled legal nightmare" regardless of their views on legalization. The Chamber of Commerce's advertisement against the measure likewise ominously warned voters that "Prop. 19 would do more than simply legalize marijuana," and focused on the supposed adverse effects of an employment provision contained in the initiative.
In other words, the "No on Prop. 19" campaign did not win by running a campaign against marijuana legalization generally but by sowing doubts in the minds of swing voters based on specific provisions in the proposed law. To be sure, this strategy would not have succeeded if the opposition had not also begun with a solid base of voters who oppose legalizing marijuana on principle. But, those voters alone would not have been enough to defeat Proposition 19.
The nature of the opposition's campaign also helps to explain why the initiative's supporters have not seemed particularly dejected by the loss. The measure's proponents know that even though Proposition 19 only received 46 percent of the vote, there is little doubt that a majority of California voters currently favor legalizing marijuana in principle. If drug policy reformers return in 2012 with a tighter measure that speaks to the "No on Prop. 19" campaign's criticisms by, for example, eliminating Proposition 19's employment provision and adding a provision to increase penalties for drugged driving, they have a very good chance at capturing the additional four percent that they would need to win. Because of this, the line coming out of the "Yes on 19" campaign on election night was that the results showed marijuana legalization, like gay marriage, is no longer a question of if but when.
Whether or not that proves to be the case, I would not be at all surprised if 2012 sees ballot initiatives to legalize marijuana in three to five states (likely candidates include Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Nevada, Massachusetts and, of course, California, among others).
Of course, attempting to predict the future is always dangerous business. For all I know, 2012 might be the year the world ends rather than the year of marijuana-themed ballot measures.
Regardless of what the future may hold, however, Proposition 19 confirmed beyond any lingering doubt the drug war era is over. A sizeable portion of the electorate believes that the war on drugs has failed and these voters are open to considering policies (like marijuana legalization) that would have been politically unthinkable in the recent past. Five years ago, "legalize it" was a message relegated largely to the t-shirts of dreadlocked reggae festival attendees. Today, it is a mainstream political issue that garnered more votes in California than Republican candidate Meg Whitman did for governor.

stars outlaw biker Jake Conway who is looking for revenge against awesomely-named rival club The Devil's Hand. There will be both on foot and on bike combat and strip clubs, and the game is being developed by Eutechnyx. That's all we really know at this point.
But that's not the only
Ride to Hell
game on the horizon. Next on the hit list is
Ride to Hell: Route 666
, developed by Black Forest Games. In it, you'll conquer the legendary Route 66 using your own team of bikers. The combat is face-paced and arcade-y and should be simple to figure out for anyone familiar with team sports - because team outlaw biker murder spree is a team sport now.
Ride to Hell: Route 666
will be available for download this June on Xbox Live, PSN, and Steam.
Finally, in the great pantheon of
Ride to Hell
titles, we've got
Ride to Hell: Beatdown
Ride to Hell: Beatdown
is a "rock'n'roll brawler" for mobile platforms. There's no release window and more details will be forthcoming in the future.
Sounds like the people at Deep Silver have been busy little bees in the years the "
Ride to Hell
" concept has been dark. Hopefully, at least one of these games will kick the amount of ass we're being led to believe they will.

The Game At A Glance: Hoboken used its speed to provide big plays, including four long touchdowns to beat Roselle Park, 39-9, and win the North Jersey Section 2 Group 1 championship.
First Half Highlights: After forcing Hoboken to punt, Roselle Park had a nice drive going. Starting from their 18 and picking up three first downs, they had a first down on the 16, but were forced to turn it over on downs when Brian Matthews was held to no gain on the seven yard line on fourth and one. Their drive consumed six minutes on eleven plays. Hoboken took over and featured Donte Carter running the ball and then changed things when Dante Bass found Kain Dunham downfield for a 43 yard gain to the 36. Bass then found Rahmein Herron for 18 yards to the five and on the following play, he found an open Terrance Perry for a score and it was 7-0, Hoboken on the first play of the second quarter.
Roselle Park answered right back, when Rich Johns broke through the middle for 19 yards to the Hoboken 45 and then Jordan Andre later connected with Brandon Pugliese for 21 yards to the 5. Johns broke through the middle for the touchdown and a 7-7 tie. After trading punts, Hoboken was backed deep in its own territory. They changed the game on third and seven, when Bass found Herron on a screen in the left flat, who raced down the field past defenders for a 93 yard touchdown and a 13-7 Red Wing lead with four minutes left in the half. Hoboken had another chance when Herron intercepted and returned it 36 yards to the 31. They had a first down on the 16, but Herron fumbled with Roselle Park recovering on the two.
Second Half Highlights: Hoboken was backed into a corner when Bass was sacked by Juan Carmona on the one yard line. On the ensuing punt, the snap was high, going out of the end zone, making it 13-9. After holding Roselle Park on the following possession, Hoboken opened up breathing room when Carter returned the punt and went 80 yards for a touchdown. The Red Wings followed things up on a twelve play, 80 yard drive that consumed almost seven minutes. Nine of those plays featured Carter, who scored from one yard out, making it 27-9, with seven minutes left.
The Red Wings needed one play on its next possession when Herron went 59 yards down the left sideline for a score to make it 33-9. Roselle Park was driving when Nate Mack intercepted on the three yard line and Carter went 93 yards to score on the following play to close out the scoring.
Play Of The Game: The 93 yard screen pass to Herron put Hoboken in front for good.
Game Balls: Carter rushed for 192 yards and two scores on 15 carries and returned a punt 80 yards for another score. Herron ran for 72 yards and one touchdown on 6 carries, two receptions for 111 yards and another touchdown, and one interception.
Hoboken head coach Lou Taglieri - "This never gets old and each one gets better than the last one. We had some ups and downs, we lost twice, but the kids stuck to it. We can run away from people with speed. You either have it or you're chasing it. We wore them down as the game went on. Now we can bring the title back to Hoboken."
Hoboken running back Donte Carter - "This feels awesome. Everybody wanted to win this and did what we had to do. Everybody blocked for me and everybody just fought. They fought us hard in the beginning, but everybody just buckled down after half time. The journey was hard and we lost to Union City, but we came here and we won."
Hoboken running back Rahmein Herron - "It feels great right now. I saw the screen pass and I just went with it. I didn't think I would score, but I thought I could get yardage. My other touchdown was just getting to the sideline and outrunning everyone. My brother was on the team that won the last state championship in 2005 and now I have one."

U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell, Jr. today applauded the House's passage of legislation he co-sponsored that repeals the 3 percent withholding tax on government vendors, and called on the U.S. Senate to pass the repeal as soon as possible.
"I am pleased that the U.S. House of Representatives recently passed the repeal of the 3 percent withholding rule. This removes a looming burden that has weighed on government contractors, particularly small businesses, " said Pascrell, a Member of the Committee on Ways and Means and the House Budget Committee. "It just makes sense to free businesses of this obligation so they can apply the money to their payrolls. I hope the United States Senate will follow suit immediately so that President Obama can enact this repeal."
The Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005 (TIPRA) included a provision that all federal agencies withhold 3 percent of the federal payments to contractors providing services to the federal government. The enforcement this provision has been delayed by Congress and the Obama Administration. It is scheduled to take effect until January 1, 2013.
The legislation passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on October 27, 2011.
"This legislation is only a very small part of a jobs plan that must be enacted to help reduce unemployment and wage stagnation. The House Majority has already denied us a vote on known job-creating measures, including the Infrastructure Bank and funding for our first responders and teachers," said Pascrell. "Congress must do more to help foster immediate economic growth and build the foundation for a sustainable economy for the future generations."

Published on 7/26/2016, 19:51 | Author: Kate
Hi guys! You might remember my post where I whined about my husband failing to perform? He wouldn't get started at all, even with a blow job or a hand job, or he would come in just 1—3 minutes.
At first I was like: OK, where do all those adult film dudes get their stamina — we tried everything you can think of, from Viagra and other boner pills to yoga or that tantric thing. Bullshit — his dick remained limp, sex didn't last more than a couple of minutes.
In about 6 months I gave up. I decided that's his genes and his physical condition, and there's nothing to do about it. After all, I can't say I wanted him as before, knowing all will end up in nothing, I won't be satisfied, he'll be upset. I felt my boyfriend was totally losing confidence.
I came across an interview with Johnny Sins of Brazzers, where he said any man can perform for up to 2 hours. That's something I'm interested in, I thought. According to Johnny, he's using special natural extractions — horny goat, wild yam, Corean ginseng, lycorice root, potency wood, oyster shell extracts — all in a harmless herbal pill which you can buy without prescription. This complex herbal medicine boosts sex hormone production and gives you a stiffie of a 17-years old and an endurance of a porn star.
Johnny recommended original Blackcore Edge MAX pills with TRTT technology he's using, so I found their website on the net and decided to make an order. I was really surprised that they offered free trial option for the first pack so without hesitating I requested this free trial.
The pills arrived soon, and I couldn't wait for us to go to bed — before he fell asleep, I gave him a pill saying that it is just a vitamin. In less than an hour my boyfriend woke up with a rock hard super stiff erection, and will you believe me when I say we banged for 1 hour and 47 minutes! Cosmic pleasure, lots of sweat and screaming — a perfect ride, the best I've ever had. I did expect some improvement, but this was a man I never knew before.
The website says these pills should also boost my better half's libido size, and that's what we're going to check in a couple of weeks. Well, I still find it hard to believe that herbs can work better than Viagra — and all for a price of two movie tickets and without any stupid prescription. I find the effect worth every penny (I already ordered three more packs) — life is short, and I'm not the kind of girl that scrimps on pleasures.
So I can definitely recommend these amazing Blackcore Edge MAX pills for anyone who wants to improve their sexual experience. Don't hesitate to use that trial offer since it is a really great way to try it for free.

North Park Jack in the Box court case surprise
"I am not going to subject my clients to abusive depositions by Mr. Briggs."
Dorian Hargrove 1:15 p.m., Sept. 25
(Page 2 of 2)
All of this is apt to sound viable enough in summary. The actual artwork, on the other hand, when you get down to brass tacks, is willfully primitive, knowingly naive, or, without the equivocation, just plain lousy, and the voices are almost unanimously annoying. A newcomer to the terrain might be struck by the number of phallic shapes on parade. Phallic heads, phallic snouts, phallic appendages. The phallic eyes of the crab are even covered, on and off, with roll-down condom-like eyelids (if that's the proper crustacean word). Such a newcomer may, even so, have a hard time convincing himself that this constitutes an appeal to the adult. The same may be said of the self-conscious mythicizing: the quest motif, the growth motif, the deliverance motif. Even that, in the aftermath of Star Wars, has become kids' stuff. No doubt there's a creative touch or two, possibly three: the sandwich car, one or two of the sea monsters. The rest is not quite all the way to appalling, but it's nearer that than amusing.
The hole has thus been filled. Ocean's Twelve can go jump in a lake.


text: Hi all, Here's support for sticky windows and dwm-style tagging. Requires (I believe) my improved delete. It almost duplicates code in StackSet, since I wanted to make as few modifications as possible. So by default, insertUp will refuse to act on sticky windows, and shift will delete a sticky window from all workspaces but one. We can later decide if we want to change their behavior in core to behave well with sticky windows, or just duplicate it here. My feeling is that this module eventually belongs in core, but that contrib is the right place to develop it. kill1, for instance, I think could probably eventually replace kill (it behaves identically on non-sticky windows), and with changes to the quickcheck tests, insertUp' could replace insertUp.

If it's visible in two workspaces both of which are visible, a gap will show up in one of them (which is something that needs fixing in xmonad core).

Ohio governor's trash talk puts Indiana in spotlight
Ohio Gov. John Kasich is continuing a cherished tradition of governors ripping on neighboring states.
Kasich knocked Indiana last week in a speech before Ohio Republicans. The Cincinnati Enquirer reported Kasich's jabs last week as part of an effort to deflect criticism of his plan to expand Medicaid.
The knock caused a stir in Indiana. But governors across the nation love to get in shots on the competition. Maryland's Democratic Gov. Martin O'Malley and Virginia's Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell traded blows throughout the 2012 campaign season.
And former Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels built a cottage industry ripping on Illinois. In 2011, he compared Illinois to a dysfunctional neighbor like "The Simpsons" and later joked Indiana should build an "Illinois governors wing" at the federal prison in Terre Haute.

PROVO — BYU quarterback Max Hall is one victory away from becoming the all-time leader in wins, but he said that potential milestone is not a distraction as the Cougars prepare to host Air Force.
"It's not a distraction at all. It's a big deal. It's going to be quite an accomplishment if I can get to that, if I can win this game and be considered to have the most wins as a quarterback," Hall said. "I put it in the back of my mind, though. It's not like I want to win the game for the record. I want to win it for our guys and for the season. But if we do win the game, it will be something special to think about."
Hall's teammates said they're eager to help him reach that record.
"Anytime you can be the all-time wins leader at a school, especially with so many quarterbacks that have come through this university, that's an amazing thing to do," said wide receiver McKay Jacobson. "Things like that are very important, but you focus on the game and everything will take care of itself. We want to do all we can to achieve that goal. He's had a great career so far and we want to finish the year strong."
Said defensive lineman Jan Jorgensen: "It's something a lot of us take pride in, that we've been a part of it, helping him to get to that point. If anybody deserves it, it's Max. He works hard and he plays hard every day. He definitely deserves it."
Asked how Hall ranks among the great BYU quarterbacks through the years, coach Bronco Mendenhall said: "Usually, I gauge quarterbacks by championships won. Winning games is certainly very, very important. The great ones are the ones that inspire their teams to win conference championships. Max's accomplishments can't be diminished because of the number of games he's helped us win. We're all, myself included, especially at BYU, we measure ourselves by that mark of being able to be the conference champion. That's what the expectation is here. But just short of that, I'm not sure, when you look at number of wins, you couldn't consider him one of the best to have played here. I hesitate saying that because I didn't coach nor was I around the other ones. But to say Max wouldn't be part of that group, I'd be hard-pressed not to do that."
BYU quarterbacks coach Brandon Doman is looking for Hall, and the Cougar offense, to play much better than last week's performance in a 24-19 squeaker last week at New Mexico.
"Our last football game wasn't quite the way we should have or wanted to play," Doman said. "Looking at these next two opponents, who else would we want to play? We've got Air Force and Utah — two teams that we have a long, long history of playing ball against and a history of great football games. I wouldn't want it to end for him in any other fashion than playing at home, in our stadium, against Air Force, which is playing as good as its played in a long time, and then Utah — a great challenge. He has played some of his best football in those types of games. I'm looking forward to seeing him finish."

What does john kerry mean by this statement? He is explaining to the american people that they must accept socialism and all of global redistribution of wealth scams like global warming or face world war.
John Kerry's speech on global warming was a warning to get on board or else. It was a subliminal message/threat. He is a NWO message boy.

February 16, 2008
A handful of local converts to "The 4-Hour Workweek" best-seller swear by these seemingly simple tools for getting a handle on runaway workdays. Bernard Sandoval is so taken with Timothy Ferriss' book that he's created a manual for employees at Sandia, the Colorado Springs advertising, marketing and design agency he owns. He's also urged colleagues to read it and is offering to train business owners on the secrets of the techniques. "It's incredible — it changes work life. Some are skeptical, but those who try it are liberated," he said of the book, released in April by Crown Publishers. Three months after "The 4-Hour Workweek" was launched, it hit No. 1 on The New York Times and Wall Street Journal business bestseller lists. It's not hard to figure out why, Sandoval says: The lifestyle changes suggested in the book are effective in freeing up work time for more meaningful pursuits. Moreover, Sandoval and other local business owners who are following some of the book's advice claim it's helped them improve relationships with clients, increase business and streamline operations. Subtitled "Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich," the book is based on Ferriss' guest lectures at Princeton University. The basic premise is that by defining careers, identifying dreams, eliminating time wasters and automating certain tasks, anyone can become liberated from the daily office grind and do things such as spend more time with family or indulge in "mini retirements" — extended vacations or volunteer stints. Thus are born "the New Rich." Just a few years ago, Ferriss said in an e-mail interview, he was an underpaid, overworked cubicle dweller stuck in the corporate rat race. Following his own advice, Ferriss now runs a sports-nutrition company from wireless locations around the world and carries under his 30-year-old belt a national championship in kickboxing and a world record in the tango. The changes at Sandoval's office are evident. A few months ago, Sandoval said he would not have had time to sit down and talk about a book. Now, three months after restructuring his daily routine and asking his nine employees to buy into the same process, piles of files and papers have disappeared from Sandoval's desk because the work is done. His four computers, along with his BlackBerry, no longer demand immediate attention. He trusts employees to do their jobs without constant monitoring. "My stress level has gone down tremendously," Sandoval says with a smile. But breaking out of the "work harder" mentality shunned in the book isn't easy. "It's conventionally accepted that all successful businesspeople work long days," said Bob Shinn, owner of Dublin-Blue, a local Web site-development company with five employees. So naturally, he thought the book's title was "a ridiculous premise." Davin Neubacher, owner of Navakai, a local company with 12 employees that supplies technology support to small and medium-size businesses, had the same thought. "At first, it comes across as another one of those self-help books," Neubacher said. "I felt so guilty about my co-workers seeing the book on my desk I took the cover off. I didn't want them to think I was lazy, trying to create a bunch of shortcuts so I didn't have to work. But it's not about being lazy — it's about being more efficient." The book isn't for everyone, Sandoval said. Just those who "are willing to admit that their work life is out of control — they're working too many hours and have too much stress, too many distractions and can't spend the quality time they want on their work." Limiting interruptions, micromanagement Sandoval, Shinn and Neubacher pulled tools from the book that they thought would best improve their companies. For Sandoval, that meant addressing interruptions, some 90 a day, just internally. "Literally every five minutes someone was coming in my office," Sandoval said. "It's like a badge of honor to be so busy. But I wasn't getting anything done and was struggling with work until 9 at night and on Saturdays." The solution? He's no longer the point person on every decision. "Some of the interruptions don't happen because I've removed myself from the critical path of being a crutch. Self-important people feel they need to be a part of every decision. I don't do that anymore — I'm here for critical questions, which is two out of 20 times, not 19 out of 20 times," Sandoval said. Shinn also has embraced the idea of trusting employees to do their jobs, without needing his approval. "Employees are empowered to work autonomously and resolve most problems that used to require my attention," he said. Stopping information abuse Instead of checking e-mails 35 times a day, Sandoval checks three to five times a day, at designated times. He and his employees alert co-workers to not disturb them when they need time to concentrate on an assignment with sticky note signs on their offices and muted phones. Workers also do not copy e-mails to everyone in the office, and do not send spam or personal e-mails. Web surfing during business hours and personal phone calls have been eliminated. Such tweaks in technology use, Sandoval said, have boosted productivity, leading to a 30 percent increase in clients since he began using the techniques last October. "It frees us up to spend more time with clients, instead of running in 10 different directions," he said. "I was afraid to grow before because getting more business meant I'd have to hire more people. Now, I can expand because the employees I have work more efficiently." Neubacher also checks his e-mails periodically, at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. every day. "There's an immediate positive return on the investment — we started talking more to staff and clients, like humans used to do. That improved client and inner-office relations," he said. "Before, it was getting ridiculous. I would e-mail a manager who literally was sitting in the office next to me." Dealing with futility Neubacher is incorporating what the book calls "the 80/20 rule," which asserts that 80 percent of a company's business comes from 20 percent of its clients and that high-maintenance clients who don't yield much revenue should be eliminated. "We're going through the process of firing clients, for the first time in our history, which makes me feel a little nervous and guilty," Neubacher said. "But even though they were paying us every month, there was a high cost. So we're schlepping off clients that aren't a good fit for our company." Eliminating time wasters Neubacher also learned how to deal with long-winded clients who steal precious time, using strategies in the book that suggest polite ways of keeping a conversation moving along. For example, he doesn't encourage people to chitchat and gets to the point immediately. If they run on, he says, "Sorry to interrupt, but I have a call in five minutes. What can I do to help out?" And weekly staff meetings are a thing of the past. "We added up what it cost us to have weekly meetings, roughly $50,000 a year in salaries, so we combined them into twice a month. We also have an agenda, and we get more done," Neubacher said. "We're working smarter versus harder." DublinBlue's Shinn has had similar success. "We've removed many of the normally accepted distractions that detract from productivity," he said. "It's not so easy to just pop your head into someone's office for a 'quick' question. You start to see the true cost of those little interruptions, and you modify your approach. Our efficiency has increased, so we have been able to take on more work without adding employees." Working remotely And Shinn is taking one of the more radical approaches in the book — "virtualizing" the company. Three months ago Shinn elected not to renew his office lease. "All of us are now working from our home offices," he said. "Morale has never been higher." The upshot Business owners say employees are reluctant to adopt the time-saving tips but are sold once they see the results. "We tried baby steps — the first thing we did was e-mail batching for a week. Then we got feedback," Neubacher said. Sandoval said one of his graphic artists was going on vacation last fall and stressed out by how much work she had to do before she left. He was fretting over whether to hire a freelancer to fill in but first asked her to eliminate interruptions and practice time management, using the methods from the book. "She was very skeptical but implemented the process, and after four hours, I was blown away. I knew it worked and decided to expose the entire company to it," he said. Sandia's office now is less chaotic, said Kimberly Blank, administrative assistant. "I think we felt really busy before, and we were running around, but actually, we weren't as structured," she said, adding that the system has given her more time to focus on research and has taught her how to prioritize work. Despite the book's title, the workweek for Sandoval, Neubacher and Shinn hasn't been reduced to four hours. Nor have they bought in to all of Ferriss' ideas, such as traveling the world or hiring "virtual assistants" to do research, filter e-mails and communicate with clients. But Sandoval has shaved 10 to 15 hours of work off his week and says he now has time to spend "working on my business, not in it, which means you do all of the things you're supposed to do as an owner." Neubacher said his extra time is devoted to business planning; Shinn has been improving business processes and crafting a new version of software. Sandoval also has more time for his family and has taken up oil painting. As Ferriss says: "Just eliminating unpaid overtime on the evenings and weekends is the first step, then removing perhaps 10 to 20 hours or one day of office work per week. How much would you pay for threeday weekends for the rest of your life? It's possible with a few small experiments and tests that have huge effects."

I'm a Jazz, Blues and Indie musician. And this guitar couldn't be better for me. Superior tone, great playability and volume. Sounds like a guitar should. The aesthetics are unmatched. I chose this model over a J-45, Martin D-28, D-35 and D-45. This particular guitar outshown them all in tone and volume. Handles about everything acoustically. Overall the best sounding Acoustic I've ever owned and its an eyecatcher
Overall Impression — 10
I've been playing for a long period of time. And so far, this is beyond anything I've ever played. Since I went to the factory I got all my questions answered before I ordered this guitar. I couldn't ask for more. This is truly one of Gibsons best works. My favorite feature on this guitar is the KOA. It's so stunning and it sounds so beatiful. If this guitar was stolen... Don't get me started. There is nothing to hate about this guitar. Except for the fact that I treat in every evening with a piece of cloth and dream about it.
Reliability & Durability — 9
This guitar should be treated with more love than you would give your wife on your honeymoon. It has a very thin body that needs love. Especially nordic winter time. But without the "thinness" this guitar wouldn't sound like it does. It fits great for live performances unless it involves heavy drinking before you get on stage.
Action, Fit & Finish — 10
Like I said earlier the top builders made this one. Flawless. My black pearl. Everything was made under my demands. There was a minor flaw with the hand painted pickguard. The corner of one of the birds on flight had lost some colour, haha. But I'm not that much intrested in how a guitar looks like. It's how well it sings.

This guitar was made 2006, hand made by the TOP luthiers in the Gibson Acoustic team. This square shoulder Acoustic is made out of the stunning KOA which can be found in Hawaii if I remember correct. Gold Grover Mother of Pearl Keystone Tuners, hand carved ofcourse! Like the rest of the guitar! It comes with a perfectly fitted hardcase, built like a tank.

Adventure Club
The woob woob base and distorted robotic sound of Dubstep music is finding its way into everything from our car stereos to our commercials. Like Beatle Mania of the '60s, Dubstep comes to us from across the pond, infesting our airwaves and influencing everyone from Nicki Minaj to Justin Bieber. Canadian Dubstep duo Adventure Club, comprised of DJs Christian Srigley and Leighton James, mixes up the popular trend by putting a whimsical bend on the typical zig-zagging base pulsations with their unique blend of vocal-based "neo-Dubstep." Known for banging out remixes of anything from Rick Ross to Jay-Z and Kanye West, Adventure Club's adventurous style definitely gets the club pumping.

What are your thoughts? What do you prefer? Also how would you compare the S&W Bodyguard 38 to the other two?
S&W versus Ruger?????
not even a consideration IME.
S&W = Cadillac
Ruger = Hyundai
The 442 is just a overall outstanding weapon for a CCW-
The Ruger is a good handgun--
Thanks guys for your opinions, keep them comming!
Any opinions on the S&W Bodyguard 38 vs the S&W 442?
I had a chiefs special for over 10 years swapped out the grips and loved it. Rugers seems cheap to me. S&W feels more solid IMO.
Everyone is going to have a different "Expert Opinion" here. Mine is Ruger makes the very best revolver on the market. Well built, tough work horses. If you get a chance shoot a box or two of ammo out of each and decide after experiencing them yourself. We all like and dislike different guns for different reasons. The gun you shoot best is the best gun for you. The gun I shoot best is the best gun for me.
Both ruger and s&w are great choices. Depends on your budget. Buy both, then you always have a backup
I prefer my Ruger LCR to the S&W that I traded off for it. :D

My mom has told me stories of him being drafted, wearing his Army uniform at his wedding, and being on base in Texas. He also sent her letters while he was in Vietnam. At the time, she was around 10 years old and wishes she would've kept those letters to fully understand what he went through. To this day, I don't feel comfortable asking him questions about it even though I'm curious. So many of these veterans have bad memories of their experiences. It was a war that wasn't exactly favored and thousands of lives were lost. The Memorial Walls A few years ago I was in Washington, D.C. and went on an evening monument tour. It was an amazing experience. Seeing the Vietnam Veterans National Memorial in person was very emotional. The names were not much larger than size 20 font and the wall was very long. If you have ever been there, you understand its impact. Its something that can't be explained too well into words. You just have to be there to experience it. Michigan Vietnam Veteran Traveling Memorial If you haven't been to Washington, D.C., you can soon experience the Michigan traveling memorial. The College has made arrangements for the wall to be at the Troy Campus on April 8. Stop by to view it, learn about this important part of our nation's history and remember those who gave their lives in the Vietnam War. Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to see it in person!

Wild ChildThis essay Wild Child is available for you on Essays24.com! Search Term Papers, College Essay Examples and Free Essays on Essays24.com - full papers database.
Autor: anton • November 18, 2010 • 906 Words (4 Pages) • 759 Views
From the diaries of Jean-Marc-Gaspard Itard, The Wild Child is a movie made in 1970, with a setting in France from the18th century, and based on a child who had lived in nature his whole life without any human contact. Itard, a well known French doctor for working with deaf-mutes, had taken in this feral child under his care for the purposes of his studies on the child's intellectual and social education. Given the time period of the movie Itard had taken the "wild-child" in under his own care, and helped teach the child to be more civilized, even though he went against the beliefs of how mentally retarded children were to be taken care of during the 18th century. Although most of the medical doctors who had been in contact with the feral child felt that he, who could not speak, and exhibited violent behavior to others, was mentally retarded and proved to have no hope for becoming civilized. Itard had proven them wrong using both positive and negative reinforcement techniques that helped the "wild-child" improve drastically and become more civilized. Having the ability to teach a mentally retarded child who had not been exposed to civilization was one of the main messages of both the movie and also one of Itard's main goals. Although succeeding at many techniques that he had done with the "wild-child" ranging from identifying everyday objects, dressing on his own, writing words, to spelling words, he still believed he was unsuccessful due to the fact that the child had not been able to speak more than one word. The way Itard had taken care of this "wild-child" may not be valid according to today's society, but during the 18th century Itard had done more than expected for this mentally retarded child. "In the early 1800's education was primarily given to the wealthy Anglo-Saxon children, and
educators were not exposed to the diversity of children that they were soon going to be faced with." (2) Children were mainly taught in the home or in a single room schoolhouse; therefore, children of limited mental capability were not likely to be schooled. "In 1852 the start of mandatory education had evolved, and also the increasing number of immigrants who had had diverse social and cultural backgrounds, as well as something the educators of the previous, homogenous schools had not been forced to deal with." (3) Many of these children showed signs of various learning, developmental, physical, and an emotional/behavioral problem, which is what Itard had to deal with trying to help civilize the "wild-child". Although Itard had succeeded at many tasks with the "wild-child" his reputation had begun to disappear due to the fact that he had not succeeded in helping the child speak. Not being exposed to language at an early age in life is one of the main factors that contribute to the wild-child not being able to speak. According to it crucial that children are exposed to language at the early stages of life. It is thought to believe that if a child is not exposed to language during these early critical times then the child will never be able to develop language skills. The "wild-child" had displayed this certain disability, but according to the movie and the book Itard had succeeded in having the child say milk in French. I had seen

Hi ladies! It's been a long time since I've been a regular over here, but I have a question, and I figured you all might have more info than any other group of people I know.
I apologize if this is regularly asked, but is anyone familiar with onread.com? Is it legit? As far as I can tell, it's a way to get free copies of ebooks, including some very current and popular books.
I teach high school English online, and while this site could solve some issues that my students have with getting copies of the required books, I'm certainly not going to point them in this direction if the site is in violation of copyright laws or is somehow screwing over the authors.
Young_Love:I feel like the majority of sites where you can get free copies of recent releases are illegal / in violation of copyright / screwing the authors out of money.
Yeah...and the fact that I'm having trouble finding some older texts (like The Crucible) makes it seem fishy, too. Darn it. Guess the kids will have to suck it up and go to the library or find $5 to buy a used copy on Amazon.
I am not familiar with onread.com, however Overdrive is a FABULOUS (and legit) way to get free ebooks (and mp3 & wav) books for free. Basically it's a hookup to your local library's digital collection. New stuff and old stuff alike...

TicketCity Presents the Best Values for Unforgettable Sports Experiences
Attending championship events doesn't have to break the bank: TicketCity uncovers top-tier sporting events at an affordable price
Austin, TX (Marketwire – February 17, 2008) – Sports fans can play it smart this spring with these simple tips to experience championship events, even if on a budget. From the Kentucky Derby to Final Four and Masters, TicketCity reminds fans they can witness the best in sports without breaking the bank.
Sony Ericsson Open Tickets from $29 & up March 25-April 5, 2009 Miami, FL In its 25th year, the Sony Ericsson Open will host top players such as the 2009 Australian Open champions Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams "Great venue, great weather, and even better prices, make the tournament the best opportunity to see your favorite players at a fraction of the cost compared to US Open or Wimbledon tickets," commented Rafael Rivas, VP of Sales for TicketCity.
Men's NCAA Final Four Championship Game Tickets from $150 & up Sunday, April 6 Detroit, MI Passionate teams and fans will converge in Detroit for an unforgettable experience. Fans looking to follow their teams will notice there are more seats with better views as this year marks the largest configuration for the tournament with 30,000 seats added in the venue.
Masters ½ Day Tournament Badge Tickets starting at $450 Thursday – Sunday, April 9 – 12 Augusta, GA While four-day or even full-day badges may prove too steep for some, fans can still get a full day of action by attending two half-days to watch their favorite competitors. Attendees can save approximately 50% by picking up the badge after 1pm in time to watch the best players and famous golfers tee off at 3pm. "Another option to see your favorite players in action in Augusta is to opt for Monday thru Wednesday practice round tickets," said Rivas. Practice round full-day passes start at $225 while half-day practice round passes start at $75.
Kentucky Oaks $85 & up Friday, May 1st Louisville, KY The Kentucky Oaks is the precursor to the Derby that is just as exciting but 40% less than a ticket to the main event. The race is hosted at Churchill Downs racetrack the day before the Kentucky Derby. Many of the Derby day traditions can be found the day before the event as it attracts many locals. As one of the largest horse races in the world with an average attendance over 100,000, the Oaks field includes ten high-powered three-year-old fillies challenging for the $500,000+ purse. And it wouldn't be a horse racing event at Churchill Downs without having a chance to take home some winnings of your own. There is betting at the Oaks well. In fact, even if you do attend the Derby, you might want to warm-up by placing some bets at the Oaks.
Regular Season MLB Baseball $10 & up April – June Various Dates "America's game might be the best value of the season if fans are looking for a group or family outing. With ticket prices this affordable, you'll have enough left for food and memorabilia," stated Rivas. With both the Yankees and the Mets ready to kick off the season in the new Yankee Stadium and Citi Field, the best values on these tickets will be those that are bought early. "Now is the time to buy for games in Queens and the Bronx, as the demand for these tickets is likely to keep prices close to 2008 levels as the season gets closer," added Rivas.
The prices listed for each event are from TicketCity inventory and are subject to change based upon availability and changes in the marketplace.

I am 14 years old. I have uneven eyelids and due to that I feel self-conscious about my eyes. Recently I searched for my type of problem and the closest I have gotten was Orbital dystopia and asymmetry eyes. The thing is, right now my right eye is becoming mono but years ago I had very double eyelid and my left was mono-ish. Now it's the other way around and I just want them to become even. The left eye became double eyelid because it kept making it double while it was mono and it just stuck like that.
What Can I Do About my Uneven Eyelids?
Doctor Answers 4
Uneven Eyelids when Young
A proper analysis by a specialized oculofacial cosmetic surgeon, is necessary to determine the asymmetry of your eyes and what can be done to correct your uneven eyelids. As a Oculofacial Plastic & Reconstructive Cosmetic Surgeon super-specializing in eyelid surgery in New York, I gather it may result from ptosis, or drooping of the eyelid.

Uneven eyelids
I can't comment on your case without at least a photo, but the most common reason in young people to have "uneven eyelids" is something call congenital ptosis or drooping of one eyelid (rarely both). See an oculoplastic surgeon for help determining what the problem is and to receive counseling on treatment options.
Uneven eyelids
Without seeing your eyelids, it makes it very difficult to determine what the best course of action would be. You can make a complimentary consultation to assist you with your issue.
