The Key to Your Next Big Purchase Could Be Direct Deposit & an Online Savings Account
By Matthew Coan, CEO at Casavvy.com
Whether you are saving for a new car, a wedding, down payment on a house, or another big purchase, you need to come up with a savings plan that is easy to implement in your everyday financial life. Saving can be a mind game, and there are some important factors you need to include to make your savings plan successful and get you your next big purchase for as little of your hard-earned money as possible.
Here are some factors to consider in your savings plan:
- The money you save should be placed in a separate place that is safe, so it doesn't seem easily accessible when temptation to spend arises.
- It should be easy to make contributions to your savings to help it grow with as little work as possible.
- You should utilize financial products that help your saved money grow with interest, allowing it to increase in value over time.
Direct Deposit
Direct deposit is an easy and safe way to obtain your weekly earnings by having them placed directly into the account of your choice where you can then decide what you want to do with it. Setting up direct deposit is as simple as filling out a form with your employer to allow each of your paychecks to be deposited into your personal account. No more worrying about losing or cashing checks, or making trips to the bank every payday.
Online Savings Account
An online savings account is the same as a normal savings account with a few alternative benefits. Online savings accounts are offered by banks that do not have physical local branches that you can visit in person. The lack of physical branches to staff and maintain allows them to save a great deal in overhead, and they pass these savings onto their customers in the form of higher interest rates.
Before you decide whether or not a bank you cannot visit in person is not right for you, think about how you currently do your normal banking. Many people meet their daily banking needs by utilizing their bank's online account, where you can often deposit checks, transfer funds, check balances, make payments, and so forth. It goes without saying that you can do all of this with your online bank as well. Many online bank accounts are fee free and don't require minimums, so you can get started anytime. You can also link your online savings account to your physical bank account, allowing for the transfer of money back and forth. This makes your online account just as accessible as your physical bank branch account. And finally, the potential for extra interest gives online savings accounts a distinct advantage.
Combine Your Direct Deposit with an Online Savings Account
When filling out the form at work to set up your direct deposit, you should have the option to distribute your weekly earnings into multiple accounts. You need to determine how your goal fits into your budget. How much can you afford to save each paycheck? This is the amount you'll have sent to your online savings account each payday. What is remaining you can direct to your normal, everyday spending account.
Combining your direct deposit with an online savings accounts will give you the best and fastest chance for success. This will get you closer to your savings goal by regularly and automatically increasing the value in your account, while also increasing the amount of interest you earn over time. As with all savings accounts, the interest you earn is a percentage of the total value in your account; the more money saved, the more interest you will earn. And it certainly doesn't hurt that your savings will be just out of reach of easy day-to-day spending.
Reach your Savings Goal
The goal that you are saving for and the amount that you are able to save each paycheck will determine how long it will take to reach your goal. Once you've set up your direct deposit to include that online savings account, you will quickly get used to the new amount that comes from your paycheck that is available to spend every week. You may also be surprised how much money you were able to save. Combining your direct deposit with an online savings account is a great way to reach your savings goals and make the purchase you are saving for a lot more attainable in a shorter amount of time.

4x4 monster truck fun starts with T-Maxx. When T-Maxx launched onto the scene a whole new world of R/C driving possibilities emerged. T-Maxx has become the world's best-selling Ready-To-Race nitro monster truck by climbing, jumping, and ripping through terrain that others simply wouldn't dare to attempt. Hardcore nitro monster crushing continues to evolve and so does T-Maxx. Introducing the T-Maxx 3.3. This brutal Maxx responds to the call with a huge stance; tough backbone; and wicked, tire-searing performance. T-Maxx brings it all together and unlocks a whole new level of monster thrashing potential. Go faster, jump higher, and let your creativity find new forms of torturous off-road pounding. The T-Maxx 3.3 is stronger, bigger, and meaner right down to its monster core.
The World's Most Advanced Ready-To-Race Radio System Now Connects Wirelessly to the Traxxas Link App
The Traxxas TQi paired with the Traxxas Link app is the most advanced, feature-rich, Ready-to-Race radio system available. Now, TQi connects wirelessly to the latest Traxxas Link app for the ultimate in ease-of-use and control. The TQi radio system can be equipped with the Traxxas Link Wireless Moduleto unlock exciting features such as instant Bluetooth connectivity; access to the full range of powerful TQi tuning and telemetry tools through an intuitive high-definition graphical interface; and the ability to have a friend remotely monitor real-time telemetry while you focus on mashing the throttle.

Just like the speed and performance Traxxas engineers into the vehicles, the power and capability of TQi and Traxxas Link expands your fun into all-new territory. Only from Traxxas, The Fastest Name in Radio Control. Learn more about the new Traxxas TQi Radio System here.
Factory-Equipped Real-Time Telemetry
T-Maxx 3.3 includes factory-installed telemetry sensors enabling Traxxas Link to collect and records real-time telemetry data as you drive. The Traxxas Link dashboard comes to life showing you speed, battery voltage, RPM, and temperature. The application automatically detects and recognizes Traxxas Link sensors for easy set up and configuration. The dashboard is fully customizable with either dial or digital readout gauges.

5-channel Micro Receiver with Fail-Safe Security
The TQi 2.4GHz micro receiver fits easily into any vehicle, and features dual channel-1 outputs for easy installation in vehicles with dual steering servosâ€â€no Y-harness necessary! The integrated LINK button makes it fast and easy to bind the receiver, and the two-color LED indicates power-on and bind status for fool-proof control and convenience. Traxxas Link Model Memory allows the receiver to recognize up to thirty TQi 2.4GHz Traxxas Link enabled transmittersâ€â€just switch on and drive. In the event of signal loss due to an accidental switch-off or depleted batteries, the receiver will automatically return the throttle to neutral and hold the last commanded steering position. The Fail Safe programming is built-in and does not need to be set or activated. Three telemetry ports are incorporated in the 5-channel receiver to allow real-time data to be transmitted from your Traxxas model to the TQi transmitter.
TRX 3.3 Racing Engine™, Where Power Meets Technology®!
The powerful TRX 3.3 Racing Engine is the heart of the T-Maxx 3.3, delivering thoroughbred race engine performance that's absolutely second to none. The TRX 3.3 Racing Engine features a precision composite slide carburetor, PowerTune™ cooling head, dyno-proven IPS crankshaft, multi-port rear exhaust, and the starting convenience of the exclusive Traxxas EZ-Start® system. Years of testing and proven performance deliver the easiest-to-tune, most dependable, most powerful Ready-To-Race® engine available.
For the ultimate combination of toque and high-revving horsepower, we couldn't resist taking the Extreme Power of TRX 3.3 engine to the next level by adding a dyno-tuned aluminum Maxx® Resonator pipe and oversized Traxxas high-volume dual-stage air filter. The result is more horsepower throughout the entire powerband that you can feel and hear.
Resonator™ Dyno-Tuned Dual-Chamber Pipe
The Maxx® Resonator aluminum tuned pipe is precision-engineered on the dyno to increase the power output of the TRX® 3.3 Racing Engine. The Resonator dual-chamber Maxx pipe provides an average peak torque increase of 16% over the standard Maxx pipe, and a 10% increase in total power across the whole range resulting in smooth, linear power delivery and brutal bottom end punch on demand. The Maxx Resonator pipe completes the New T-Maxx 3.3 with its shiny polished mirror-chrome finish and distinctive laser etched logo.
Large High-Volume Dual-Stage Air Filter
The extra-large dual-stage Traxxas air filter increases air flow to the TRX 3.3 Racing Engine, allowing the engine to breath easier and reach its true power potential. Larger filtering capacity also delivers more consistent tuning between maintenance intervals. With more air intake the TRX 3.3 holds an incredibly consistent tune during long bash sessions and the ultra low-restriction design provides superior air flow and filtration for more power and long engine life.
EZ-Start® Electric Starting
Only the Traxxas EZ-Start offers the pure convenience of true one-handed operation and complete on-board, push-button electric starting. The Traxxas EZ-Start lights your glow plug and starts your engine quickly and smoothly at the push of a button. Traxxas' exclusive Smart Start™ technology monitors critical starting functions, automatically sensing and diagnosing potential problems for troublefree engine starting every time! LEDs provide realtime status, even alerting you when a glow plug has failed.
Strengthened Bulkheads with Steel X-Braces
Tough composite components and steel reinforced bulkheads maximize T-Maxx 3.3 durability for hardcore bashing. The front and rear bulkheads are strength-optimized for ruggedness and dependability when the going gets rough. Traxxas engineers reinforced critical areas to further enhance the legendary toughness that T-Maxx is famous for.
30mm Extended Chassis
With the incredible horsepower of the TRX 3.3 Racing Engine on tap, Traxxas engineers equipped the T-Maxx 3.3 with a 30mm longer wheelbase for maximum stability. The 4mm thick aluminum chassis is formed from durable 6061-T6 aluminum and then anodized in brilliant blue. Besides forming a rigid backbone for the rest of the truck, the aluminum acts like a heat sink to draw additional heat away from the engine. All of the systems and components are neatly arranged on the chassis for easy cleaning and servicing.
Heavy-Duty Chassis Braces and Transmission Skid Plate
The long wheelbase T-Maxx 3.3 chassis combines heady-duty extended chassis braces and an integrated transmission skid plate to form a fully-boxed sub-frame that protects the center driveline and virtually eliminates power robbing chassis flex.
Sealed Limited Slip Differentials
Maxx differential housings feature tunable sealed differentials with Revo internals that offer a broad range of tuning options. Precision sealed with Traxxas X-ring silicone seals, the T-Maxx 3.3 differentials are designed for long-lasting performance and the ability to tune for specific running conditions. Built to handle extreme torque and power, these differentials offer unmatched versatility and toughness.
Powerful Steering System
A heavy-duty bellcrank steering system features an integrated servo saver and smooth ball bearings for rock solid control. Combined with digital-servo muscle, the complete system delivers the perfect combination of steering authority and precise control.
Double-Shear Captured Linkages
The T-Maxx 3.3 features 100% double-shear connections to all steering and toe linkages to capture and secure all rod ends for unmatched durability. A thick tie-bar on the rear toe links further increases the double sheer strength.
Digital High-Torque Steering Servo
A monster truck needs a powerful steering servo for responsive performance. An included Traxxas digital high-torque, ball bearing steering servo comes standard for precision control, quick response, and unmatched torque. It has over 50% more torque than a standard high-torque servo and it's 25% faster! That's 125 oz-in torque with 0.16-second transit speed!
Tall 6.3" Maxx®-Sized Tires on 3.8" Mirror-Chrome Hurricane™ Wheels
Pre-glued to 3.8" Mirror-Chrome Hurricane wheels, the soft compound Maxx tires are designed to maximize performance for all-terrain traction. On dirt the aggressive treads claw for traction providing superior bite and massive roosts, and on pavement the forgiving side grip allows the tire to power-slide while maintaining a sure-footed neutral feel.
Revo®-Spec Auto shifting Two-Speed Transmission
The heavy-duty forward-only two-speed is easy to adjust and delivers smooth and consistent shifts every time. A simple twist of a 2.0mm hex wrench and the shift point can be adjusted to shift earlier or later. To further the custom tuning experience, special close and standard ratio gear sets can be installed to tailor the gearing for your environment.
Revo®-Spec Torque-Control™ Slipper Clutch
The Torque-Control slipper clutch uses special semi-metallic friction material and finned aluminum alloy pressure plates to dissipate heat and provide consistent traction control. The semi-metallic friction material remains stable across a wide temperature range to provide smooth, linear engagement you can count on, tank after tank. Spur gears can be removed and replaced without altering the slipper adjustment. A center ball bearing maintains precise, long-lasting alignment with near friction-free running and virtually zero maintenance. Only Traxxas has it!
Large Diameter Disc Brake
A large 42mm steel rotor spins between two unique semi-metallic brake pads which when engaged, bind the drilled steel disc for efficient 4 wheel braking action. The proven design provides fast fade free braking to bring T-Maxx 3.3 to a stop almost as quickly as it accelerates.
Revo®-Spec Drivetrain
Building on the durability of the reliable and incredibly tough Revo drivetrain, T-Maxx 3.3 incorporates super-duty center, front, and rear driveshafts. The super-duty sealed driveshafts are rubber sealed to keep out dirt for consistently smooth performance. The true, constant velocity U-joint design allows huge deflection angles and there is no metal-to-metal friction to cause binding and wear.
Sealed Pivot Ball Suspension
Traxxas exclusive rubber sealed pivot balls maintain factory smooth performance even in the harshest environments. The unique design allows easy adjustment, proven performance, and unmatched reliability. The heavy-duty axle carriers use large diameter rubber sealed bearings for ultra-smooth, and practically maintenance-free running.
4.2" Ground-Clearance
The unique T-Maxx chassis design offers maximum center ground clearance (over 4 inches) to eliminate the high-centering and chassis dragging that plague flat-chassis monster trucks. Plus it maintains that tall, authentic monster truck look.
Famous Maxx® Suspension
One of the hallmarks of the T-Maxx is its incredible WideMaxx 4-wheel independent suspension. Wicked long travel, nearly 4 inches at each wheel, is ready to take on just about the roughest terrain you can imagine. Eight oil-filled shocks (2 at each wheel) deliver that plush feel and 'bottomless' suspension travel T-Maxx is famous for. The suspension is fully tuneable for the track with up to 10 shock-mounting positions, adjustable front caster angle, front and rear toe, and front and rear camber angles.
Oil-Filled Ultra Shocks™
Traxxas oil-filled Ultra Shocks are fully tuneable for race-inspired performance. The spring pre-load is adjustable via precise clip-on spacers making it easy to know that each shock is adjusted to the same spec. Rubber pressure bladders prevent air pockets and foaming common with bladderless designs. Double o-ring seals in the shock body prevent leaking.
Adjustable Wheelie Bar
To handle extreme Maxx power, the adjustable Traxxas wheelie bar is mandatory equipment for the Extreme TRX® 3.3 horsepower! The wheelie bar has 4 snap-in adjustment positions that allow you to choose how extreme you want your action to be. In the down position, it keeps the front end of your Maxx truck planted to show off the incredible acceleration. Raise the wheelie bar to its full-up position and the action gets wild, with giant wheelies that hang on as long as you keep mashing the throttle! The unique design allows it to be easily removed in situations where you may not want the additional control.
Maxx-Sized ProGraphix® Body
The extended wheelbase T-Maxx body comes fully trimmed and painted. Decals are also applied to save time and get you driving just minutes out of the box. Traxxas' ProGraphix bodies are the hottest looking bodies around and are only available on Traxxas Ready-to-Race® models. Available in red, blue, black, and white.
Rubber-Sealed Ball Bearings
Precision rubber-sealed bearings offer the ultimate in super low-friction performance and maximum protection in dirt and nitro environments. They are used in all exposed locations on the truck and are virtually maintenance free.
Hex Hardware
Pro-quality, high-grade, metric hex-drive hardware is used throughout for extra strength and easy maintenance and repair. The black-oxide rust-resistant finish provides a high tech look and feel.

Do you have any sauce?
Yes indeed we do Sir, but I hope you don't have arthritis in your fingers or are a compulsive nail bitter because if that is the case then I fear your meal may have to be consumed condiment free.
Who, in their right mind thought that putting sauces and dressings into foil satchets was a good idea?
I am told that it's all about hygiene, but I am not sure I buy that explanation as I frequent plenty of eateries that present their arsenal of bottled accompaniments, albeit in a wooden toolbox.
I urge you to cast this evil time sapping pointless pocket of puss aside.
So, let this blog post be my footnote in the history of mankind that I forthwith declare war on the sodding satchet, your time is over and the fact your even made it past the planning stage will remain a mystery to me.
I also extend my anguish to those who run establishments where the satchet survives and I urge you to cast this evil time sapping pointless pocket of puss aside.
Now, you may be asking why such strong words for a humble piece of foil packaging, well I admire packaging in all of its guises especially those that facilitate produce to arrive in good time and in perfect condition, but the satchet is not such an item.
Let's be honest, even after much turning, failed tearing, squeezing and kneeding to successfully release your chosen accompaniment from its foily encarceration, even if you manage to extract it to the favoured location on your food rather than launch it randomly, I wager you that it is practically impossible to get more on to the plate than on your fingers.
Of course the now discarded flaccid foil parcel probably still has plenty of your chosen delicacy still languishing within, but these last drops can only be consumed easily by popping the ruined 'foilage' into your mouth, but beware, aside from the risk of a shocking reaction to one of your tooth fillings remember that the reason for all this 'convenience' in the first place was allegedly hygiene.
So yes of course it makes sense to serve me my condiments in a sachet that has been handled many times and unlikely to have been cleaned at any point from its manufacture and filling to the point it was it my grubby paws and being ripped, squeezed and chewed out of all recognition.
So, as I stare at what is barely a teaspoon of liquid on my plate, with sticky fingers I reach for a second satchet, only then realising the total genius of the concept, having wrestled open just one of these little bastards I am now rendered physically even less capable to open the next…and indeed my enthusiasm and energy required for the task has waned considerably.
Unless of course, I go wash and dry my hands!
So, it turns out satchets are hygienic and economic after all.

Whistleblowers Help U.S. Recover $3.8 Million From Vascular Care Company
Two whistleblowers who alleged that a Philadelphia-based vascular health company and several of its subsidiaries were cheating Medicare and engaging in illegal kickback schemes have helped the U.S. recover more than $3.8 million. The whistleblowers filed separate lawsuits alleging Vascular Access Centers LP and 23 of its subsidiary companies violated the federal False Claims Act and Anti-Kickback Statute, both of which are intended to protect U.S. taxpayer money from being squandered and misspent.

Our little Botterbean is due to make its world debut in early November - straight into an English winter - so it'll be needing some little woollens to keep it snug.
Apart from a few granny squares, this is my first proper crochet project since learning to crochet a few months back. It is this pattern, although rather than getting lost trying to follow the pattern myself, I stitched along to this video. It's handy having someone show you what to do (although the sound does get annoyingly quiet at the sleeve stage). I think this is a great style, it's simple and stylish with its asymmetrical front and it isn't bogged down in all the froufrou you often get with baby clothes.
The yarn is acrylic, but very soft and is made up of strands of blue and green giving a bit of a tweedy effect. It says on the pattern that this cardigan is for 6-9months, but I wanted 0-3months, so I used a smaller hook (4mm) and it seems to have turned out the right sort of size.
I stitched the body of the cardigan on sunday (until an onset of claw-hand forced me to stop) and I did the sleeves and finishing off on monday evening.
It's all a bit wonky, one of the sleeves is a bit bulgy and the edges aren't quite straight, but it has two sleeves, a neck hole and functioning buttons, so I'm counting it as a success!
I will definitely make this little cardigan again (hopefully improving each time!) I think this pattern would work very well in stripes...

A Vision of the Church - Larry Pullom
Larry Pullom
During worship at Blaze, I had a vision in which I saw a lady lying on the floor. I saw two hands come from above and touch her on the chest. The hands were blue and as I looked closer, I could see that there were lightning bolts penetrating her body. After the hands had touched her, she sat up and began dusting off a black dust. The stench from the dust was that of sulfur.
I asked the Lord who the lady was and what was being dusted off of her. He told me the lady was the church and what she was dusting off was all that she had carried that was contrary to the Spirit of God. He had placed His hands on her heart so that it would begin to beat once again after His own heart and would now be able to move with much prayer in the demonstration of His love and unity by the power of His Spirit.
As she finished dusting herself off, she stood up and the stench was gone. She now carried the fragrance of Heaven of love and truth.
Larry Pullom and his wife, Rana, are Partners with the Healing Rooms Ministries and leaders in Blaze Ministry at the Healing Rooms headquarters in Spokane.

Making ends meet can be really tough, especially if you're unemployed, on government benefits, a student or earning a low income. Sometimes you need a fast cash loan to see you through a rough patch, or to wrap up lots of little expenses into one easy repayment.
When you want to apply for a small cash loan, it pays to get your financial records organised. But many people overlook the one thing that can make a big difference – your credit score.
First of all – what is your credit score?
Anyone who has ever applied for or used any kind of credit will have a credit file.
Want to know your credit score? Run your own free credit check

So – what affects your credit score?
Here's 3 surprising things that will affect your credit rating.
When you need access to some fast cash to see you through a rough patch or to pay for some unexpected surprises, it can be tempting to submit loan applications to a wide range of lenders in the hope that at least one of them will offer you a loan.
Not only does paying your bills on time make good financial sense, it also keeps your credit score healthy.
As you can see – it's important that you look after your credit score, as it can help determine your ability to apply for future credit.

About algae...
Algae are primordial plants with a long geological background. About 400.000 algae species are existing around the world.
Most of them are belonging to the plant kingdom, which consists of seed-bearing plants, ferns, mosses, lichens and algae. Algae are constructed mostly less sophisticated without real roots, stems or leaves. There is no propagation by seed but by cell division or sporulation.
Who belongs to the algae family?
Particularly impressive is the versatility of algae. The spectrum extends from tiny single-cell organisms to massive large seaweed, which can reach the weight of a small tree.
One can divide algae into highly visible multicellular macroscopic algae like seaweed and into single or few-cell microalgae, which only reach a size of less than one millimeter.
Single-cell organisms
Example: Crysophyta
Algae filament
Example: Volvox
Cell colonies
Example: Spirogyra
Cells are dividing in a specific predetermined way, the daughter cells remain connected.
Macro algae
Example: Seaweed
The biggest kind of algae consists of many cells and resembles seed-bearing plants or ferns.
Where and how are they living?
Algae are survival specialists. Even under most adverse conditions they can perfectly adjust to the environment. One can find them in salt water, fresh water, on stones or in soil. Also in extreme locations like hot springs, volcanic islands, arctic iceland or deserts they are domiciled.
What do they provide?
Algae is food and habitat for many animals and serve our atmosphere with oxygen.
Not forgetting the central role of algaes in the carbon cycle. Algaes have the capacity to grow fast and are able to absorb carbohydrate in a very efficient way.
In addition they are estimated to deliver around 50 per cent of the oxygen demand worldwide. That is because they are able to perform photosynthesis such as every tree does: Out of carbohydrate and sun power they produce biomass and oxygen!
They perform as:
- Hides for water fleas, snails and larvae
- Nursery for fish
- Nutrient for animals and humans
- Resevoir of nutrients
- Oxygen producer

One of Hampstead's best loved restaurants celebrates 50 years
PUBLISHED: 20:32 05 March 2012
© Nigel Sutton email firstname.lastname@example.com
Opening one of Hampstead's best loved restaurants was not foremost on Bernardo Stella's mind when he left Italy in 1957 to avoid military service.
His wife-to-be Androulla was seeking refuge in London to avoid punishment for disarming a British soldier in Cyprus.
Little did they know half a century later they would be celebrating the 50th anniversary of La Gaffe.
The restaurant in Heath Street grew from humble beginnings as a workmen's cafe in 1962 into today's bar, restaurant and hotel.
Bernardo and Androulla, aged 76 and 74, will celebrate the milestone with a party this evening (Monday, March 5).
"We're having a party to say thank you to our customers," said Bernardo. "Fifty years is a happy thing, but many of our customers have passed away. The years have gone by in a flash but I always loved the work."
The couple named the restaurant La Gaffe, meaning "the mistake", as they joked an Italian and a Cypriot opening a French restaurant in north-west London could be nothing else.
But it quickly proved popular with the rich and famous.
Actress Maureen Lipman and her late husband, playwright Jack Rosenthal, were regulars when the restaurant first opened.
Former US president Lyndon B Johnson's wife Lady Bird ate there, whilst boxer Mohammed Ali, movie star Clint Eastwood, and US president Jimmy Carter's son Chip all visited in the 1970s.
Even the Queen Mother wrote Bernardo a letter praising his pate.
But he revealed the secrets to La Gaffe's success are good food and simplicity.
"If you try to be too clever then you pay the price," he said. "My policy has always been to treat everybody equally. I treat the dustman the same as a prince."
He added: "My luck is my wife. I have always been a dreamer so I need someone solid like her behind me."
His son Lorenzo, 45, now runs the restaurant.
"I am very proud of what my parents have achieved and I know the cost of it," he said. "When people talk of blood, sweat and tears, never were truer words spoken.
"I haven't changed too much about the restaurant and I don't want to change much because I think what we have here is good. I don't want to lose what is special about who we are."
He is most proud that the restaurant has maintained the same clientele for decades.
"That's more important that anything," said Lorenzo. "People say they feel at home when they are here and that is the nicest thing they could say to us."

Confidence among U.S. consumers fell by the most on record and single-family housing starts hit a 26- year low, posing an increasing threat to household spending that accounts for more than two-thirds of the economy.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
The Reuters/University of Michigan preliminary index of consumer sentiment fell to 57.5 this month from 70.3 in September. The measure averaged 85.6 last year. Construction of single-family homes dropped 12 percent last month to a 544,000 annual rate, the Commerce Department said in Washington.
Today's figures show that the tightening credit crunch has spurred a further step down in the three-year housing recession. Falling property values, along with the crash in stocks, threaten to cause the first decline in consumer spending since 1991, and put pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates again this month.
"Even gasoline-price decreases were overpowered by the massive destruction of wealth," said Michael Feroli, an economist at JPMorgan Chase & Co. in New York who used to work at the Fed. "Things are pretty awful in the economy and that should make itself felt through weaker consumer spending."

One of my clients once said to me: "Someone else bid on this project. Now that I have competition, I probably won't get this gig."
Her comment took my breath away for so many reasons:
- She didn't have enough confidence in her gifts to believe she'd get this project, no matter who else was bidding on it.
- She believed that competition is bad – just someone who will take business away from her.
- She's coming from a scarcity mindset, meaning she doesn't believe they are enough clients for everyone.
Isn't it amazing how we process "competitors" as entrepreneurs?
I want to challenge you to change your mindset about your competitors. Are you ready?

Introduced and translation adapted by Ruth Urbom
This article appeared in the 2014:2 issue.
A complete chapter from this graphic novel is available in English at the bottom of this page. Go to downloads
Selma Lagerlöf's story En herrgårdssägen ('The Tale of a Manor'), first published in 1899, has served as the source material for a film, an opera and a stage drama over the years. Now it exists as a graphic novel as well, in a version created by Marcus Ivarsson.
In Lagerlöf's narrative, young Gunnar Hede would rather play his violin than concentrate on his studies. When Hede learns he is in danger of losing his family's manor house, he decides to become a travelling merchant in an effort to earn money quickly. One of his business deals ends in disaster when an entire herd of goats dies in a snowstorm. Hede undergoes a change in personality. People start to refer to him as the Goat-Man. One day on his wanderings, the dishevelled Hede discovers a young woman, Ingrid, who has been placed in a coffin after falling into a deep torpor. Hede rescues Ingrid and carries her off in his rucksack. Hede and Ingrid do not recognise each other at first, even though they had met previously when Hede was still a student. Later, Ingrid realises who the scruffy man is. Can her love free Hede from his torment?
Selma Lagerlöf incorporated elements from Snow White and Beauty and the Beast as well as actual people and events in her story. As Marcus Ivarsson explains in his substantial afterword, this work has a special resonance for him – not only because of its subject matter, but also because he grew up in a town near the manor house where Lagerlöf was born and lived.
Ivarsson's exhaustive research enabled him to depict clothing, house interiors and other details accurately for the period. The palette of subtle sepia tones clearly places the story in a bygone era. Ivarsson uses larger and smaller panels to vary the pace of the narrative, while Ingrid's dreams are shown in panels with wavy edges.
The English text on the pages featured here is based on a translation by Jessie Brochner that was published in 1901 under the title From a Swedish Homestead. Brochner's translation is available in full on the Project Gutenberg website.

It's a good thing she wrote it because she's a lot nicer than I am; and a lot of the complaints we've heard about it were a lot more incendiary.

Warm weather has officially arrived and the golf courses at Cleveland Metroparks are blooming with golfers. So, I decided this would be the perfect time to putter around in our historic golf photos and articles and share some of my finds.
When the parks were established in 1917, golf was already on its way to becoming a national phenomena. During the booming years of the 1920s, the sport took off in a big way. And, many people who wanted to play could not afford to join a private club. So, they began to clamor for affordable, public courses.
In 1925, the Cleveland Metropolitan Park System answered the call! In Rocky River Reservation, the old "Two-Minute Farm" on the west side of the river was chosen as the site of the first park golf course.
Except it was not the first. Demand was so high, that a "temporary" nine-hole golf course was laid out on the east side of the river. This simple course was created in five weeks and opened in 1926. When the official 18-hole golf course opened, it was given the clever name, "Course No. 1." Then, the "first" course, which was only supposed to be temporary was given a slight update and kept open as "Course No. 2." Confused yet? It may help you to call them by their modern names, Big Met and Little Met. (Also see the timeline at the bottom of this post.)
The new courses proved to be very popular. I love the "photoshopped" image that appeared in the Plain Dealer picturing the crowds of golfers engulfing (or would that be engolfing?) Course Number 1. A selling point of the new courses was the fact that many golfers could reach them by streetcar. I like to imagine the sight of several people on a streetcar toting golf bags and dressed in loud knee pants.
As a side note, new housing developments were springing up like crazy during the same decade and several west side realtors/developers used the proximity to the Metropolitan golf courses as a selling point for their new homes.
On the east side of town a unique situation developed at Sleepy Hollow Golf Course in Brecksville. Sleepy Hollow was a private golf club that sold land to the parks in 1922 and then leased the land from the park board. The lease stipulated that after 25 years the land would revert to public use, either as a golf course, or for other park use. This clause created a city wide furor as the debates over the future of Sleepy Hollow raged at board meetings and in editorials and articles in local newspapers in the late 50s and early 60s. This debate was echoed over to another once private course on park land. Manakiki Golf Course opened in 1930 as a private club. The land and clubhouse were given to the parks from James and Fannie Brown in 1944. Like Sleepy Hollow, the course was leased back to the private club, with the proviso that it would eventually become a public course.
Today area golfers can choose to play on any of Cleveland Metroparks eight golf courses. They all have unique characteristics and stories. I will share some more stories in future posts. Meanwhile here is a timeline for those who want to keep track!
Cleveland Metroparks Golf Timeline
1922- Sleepy Hollow Golf Club sells land to Cleveland Metropolitan Park Board with a provision to lease the land for a private club for 25 years (the course becomes public in 1963).
1925- Little Met (Course No. 2) opens; originally built as a temporary 9-hole facility until the permanent 18-hole course was built.
1926- Big Met (originally known only as course No. 1 opens , temporary course is kept and called No. 2 (now Little Met).
1944- James and Fannie Brown donate 192 acres of land on Eddy road that includes Manakiki Golf Course and clubhouse. Manakiki had been in operation as a private club since 1930. It would remain as a private club leasing park land until 1961.
1959- Shawnee Hills Golf Course opens in Bedford Reservation, complete with clubhouse (This new course also created the need for a separate golf division within the park management for the first time).
1961- Manakiki Golf Course opens for public play.
1963- Sleepy Hollow Golf Course opens for public play.
1965- Mastick Woods Golf Course opens in Rocky River Reservation.
2006- Washington Golf Course opens in Washington Reservation and "First Tee" program begins.
2011-Seneca Golf Course, originally built by the city of Cleveland in 1940, becomes a Cleveland Metroparks course.

My approach is tailored to the needs of my clients with a focus on problem resolution and helping clients establish and reach their goals. I believe everyone has the capacity within to rise above adversity and heal. We all have dark times in our lives and it is the compassion and support from others that fosters our ability to overcome. I believe that a therapist's main role is to guide and facilitate that process. I welcome the opportunity to work with all individuals to provide a welcoming and enriching environment that is conducive to the intellectual, emotional, and social development of our diverse community.

I'm Nathan Miller...I did it & I'm not proud of it.
Hi. I'm Nathan Mueller. It's true. I committed a $8.5MM embezzlement and served several years in federal prison for my mistakes and poor judgement. I want to teach you what I did to make you a better fraud fighter.
In this course, you will learn what I did, how I did it and why I did it. You'll see the fraud triangle all over the presentation.
I hold a B.A. in Accounting from Gustavus Adolphus College and was a licensed CPA from 2002-2010. I have over 13 years of public accounting experience and ten years of corporate accounting experience with a focus on financial reporting, cash processing, and accounting controls.
After the reinsurance company that I worked for was purchased by ING for $6 billion, I played a key role in transitioning its operations onto ING's enterprise resource planning system. Enabled by lax controls and unchecked authority to distribute funds, I began embezzling money to pay off personal debt. What started as a $1,100 check to a credit card, spiraled into an $8.5 million fraud over the next four years. It was only a co-worker's suspicions that brought the fraud to an end. After being caught, I pled guilty and was sentenced to 97 months in federal prison and released in September of 2014.
While serving my sentence, I delivered over 60 speeches to a broad spectrum of groups & organizations including college classes, businesses, business organizations and non-profits.
I recently provided the keynote at the 2015 ACFE Global Fraud Conference in Baltimore, Maryland with upwards of 3,000 attendees.

Palestinian Saga: The Battle for Freedom & Justice
Palestinian Saga: The Battle for Freedom &
UFree Network | Media Centre
Link: http://ufree-p.net/index.php/site/index/news/161/3
For long decades, Palestinians have fought in quest of their freedom and justice. Hundreds of thousands were killed, injured or imprisoned at the hands of Israeli aggressors. The Palestinian struggle against Israel represent simple battle between the good and the bad, the evil and innocence. It was always Palestinians who were oppressed, suppressed and humiliated by the state of Israel which pretends to be the finest and sole democracy across the Middle East!
Palestinian prisoners are an integral part of the struggle for freedom and justice. According to many local and international NGOs, the number of Palestinians who were arrested by Israel since 1967 is estimated of 800 thousands. The state of occupation used the method of arrest to suppress struggle of liberation yet it failed to do this. Despite these arrests, Palestinians continue their track for self-determination and salvation from occupation.
Ayman al Sharawna, a heroic Saga
Ayman al Sharawna, 36, symbolizes the plight and suffering of Palestinian prisoners. He spent 10 years in Israeli jails before he was released in Gilad Shalit prisoner swap in 2011. Shortly after he was released, Israel violated its commitment to the prisoner swap deal and arrested him again. In protest of his re-arrest Ayman started an open hunger strike in July 2012. For more than 217 days he refused any compromise but his freedom. His food was only salt and water which left his body struggling to continue his life.
According to Al Dameer Human Rights Association Ayman has already lost 80 percent of his vision in his right eye, which means that Ayman has become almost totally blind. He continues to suffer from severe kidney problems and has begun to suffer from partial memory loss.
The organisation revealed that he continues to suffer from pain in his back, which remains untreated as the Israeli Prison Service (IPS) has said it will only give him pain relieving medication if he ends his strike.
Steadfastness and Anxiety
Despite all this pain,
Ayman vows to continue his battle. His family is also
adamant to support him in his struggle despite the many
risks he is going through. The family is keen to have
Ayman's hunger strike a success as it will be for the
entire Palestinian prisoner movement.
UFree met with the family of Ayman who called on activists, politicians and people to make a move and break their silence before it are too late.
"I appeal to the free world to escalate their struggle to help my brother. I tell them stop being silent. It's the time we act to save Palestinian prisoners. Dozens of them are on hunger strike and at risk of death. I appeal to you to act fast to act now before it's too late. What is Ayman's fault? What's the fault of our family and his kids to continue suffer." Stated Jihad al Sharawna
The oppression of Israel is not only against Ayman but his family and children. Israel is restricting the family visits; they were allowed to visit him four times in 10 years time. This policy is flagrant violation of human rights and is considered to be collective punishment.
According to UFree Network, the family met Ayman one time after 7 years of jail. The visit was very short and did not exceed more than 40 minutes. The journey of the family (it is the case for all prisoner families) include humiliation at Israeli checkpoints plus procrastination and cancellations before a short time.
The Black night raid
Following his release in the prisoner swap Ayman was rearrested on the 11th of March 2012. Huge number of armed Israeli soldiers stormed his house in Hebron and spread panic and fear in the area.
The family still remembers the harrowing moments they went through that time.
"It was a dark and rainy night when Israeli soldiers arrived. I was sleeping when my son came to me and said that there is something going outside. Someone was stoning the house. As we were looking through the windows, we saw the soldiers. They broke into the house and obligated everyone including the children to evacuate the house. They forcefully put us against the wall. They took Ayman and his son Ismail, 18" said wife of Ayman.
Constant Violations
Israel is known of its bad records in terms of human rights. According to a poll conducted by BBC mid 2012, Israel was ranked as one of the top four countries that have negative influence the word. Geneva's Common Article 3 clearly requires "humane treatment for all persons in enemy hands, specifically prohibit(ing) murder, mutilation, torture, cruel, humiliating and degrading treatment (and) unfair trial(s)." Yet, Israel is committing most of these taboos in addition to medical and health care neglect which caused the death of many prisoners.
Fourth Geneva's Article 56 states:
"To the fullest extent of the means available to it, the Occupying Power has the duty of ensuring and maintaining, with the cooperation of national and local authorities, the medical and hospital establishments and services, public health and hygiene in the occupied territory, with particular reference to the adoption and application of the prophylactic and preventive measures necessary to combat the spread of contagious diseases and epidemics. Medical personnel of all categories shall be allowed to carry out their duties."
Meanwhile, Article 91 affirms that "Every place of internment shall have an adequate infirmary, under the direction of a qualified doctor, where internees may have the attention they require, as well as an appropriate diet. Isolation wards shall be set aside for cases of contagious or mental diseases."

TOGETHER with time, the world keeps on going with innumerable evidences of substantial advancement.
Indeed, we are now on line where impossible and possible meet. In fact, everything has been made easier through innovative technology and the "internet" is one of the world's great evidence of progress.
Internet has made a lot of difference in our lives. In just a click of our finger, we are able to connect to people across other countries miles away. With this, we don't have to wait for weeks or months just to give message to our loved ones abroad and we can even see them now on the webcam while having chat with them.
In addition, it is easier to win friends through social networkings on the net like the most popular "Facebook", "Instagram", and "Twitter"
But aside from socialization, internet has been a very powerful tool as an abundant source and body of information, through the use of search engines like "yahoo" and "google", you can find everything you want it be for academic or other personal purposes. Thus, it makes learning more effective and comfortable.
To conclude, while these benefits from internet made a very big impact in our lives, we should all take our responsibility to make use of this powerful tool in very righteous way.

Is Ron Paul the only genuine Christian among the candidates?
Jan 26, 2008
In the interest of an informed electorate in the upcoming voting season, I find this article to be most informative on where Congressman Ron Paul stands on the issues relevant to Christians and those who still value the American Constitution.
Note in the second section about "Religion," Dr. Paul states clearly that he is a Christian who has accepted Jesus Christ as his "personal saviour." One would think that the evangelicals would be happy with this, but perhaps they shun him because of his view that our unconditional support for the Israeli state should be stopped. Well, actually, I think it is more because the media gives him the bare minimum requirement of attention, and Christians really don't know who he is.
So, to make up for the shortfall in the media, I give you the opportunity to see how he compares with the others, not only on his Christianity, but also on issues of state.
