This vintage postcard features West Third Street in Downtown Alton. All of the buildings still exist, although many have been altered over the years. The tiny hut near the northeast corner of the intersection provided shelter for the Alton police officers who had to be on hand to direct traffic when a train was passing through. The building on the northwest corner at the time had three stories and a turret at the corner. It housed a labor hall. Postcard, postmarked early in the 20th century, from the collection of Leo M. Springman.

Whether you're coloring in a coloring book or free-handing on a blank sheet of paper, this can be a great way to release your inner child. Plus, did you know coloring can also be used to help increase mindfulness and reduce stress? It's true! Go grab your crayons, markers or colored pencils, and get to making something beautiful inside (or outside) the lines!
Jigsaw Puzzles
From 50 pieces to 5,000 pieces—it doesn't matter. Puzzles can be fun, and they can offer health benefits, including helping to keep your brain sharp. And the best part about puzzles is that feeling of accomplishment when you place that last piece.
Finger Painting
Childhood can be messy, and there's no better way to embrace that than with finger painting! It's tactile, fun and can help you release the inhibitions that sometimes accompany adulthood. But that's not all. When you engage in something artistic, it can help you lead a healthier, happier life.
Music can have the ability to bring you back to specific times and places in your memories. If you close your eyes, it can almost feel like you're right there. Add your favorite hits from your childhood to a playlist, and let the music take you back. But nostalgia isn't the only benefit of music. A study suggests that music therapy may help improve cognition in patients with Alzheimer disease related dementia.
Pillow and Blanket Forts
The most amazing thing about pillow and blanket forts is there's no right or wrong way to build one. It could be a spot on your bed where you pile pillows all around you to give yourself a hideaway to listen your mixtape, or maybe it's a sheet over some chairs so you have a cozy nook for knitting. The only requirement for fort construction is to let your imagination run wild.
These are just a few ideas to get you started with connecting to your inner child. Give one, two or all five a try, and see if they help get you reacquainted.

Dismal Dreams: Red Lagoe
Synopsis: Every day is steeped in horror. An inexplicable force in the wild. A serpent lurking in the shadows. Or the sinister thoughts forged in the deepest abyss of a tortured mind.
Lagoe offers a gamut of horrific experiences artfully woven into thirteen stories. Explore the darkness within a selfish heart, face death among ghosts, and roar into the snarling maw of the beast. Horror can be empowering if we can survive our most dismal dreams.
Red Lagoe, author of Lucid Screams, brings us her follow up collection of horror shorts, Dismal Dreams, with a foreword by Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Devil's Dreamland, Sara Tantlinger.
As The Wheel Turns – More tales from the weald: Stephanie Ellis
Synopsis: The Weald is full of strange folk. A rural idyll on the surface, it is home to many a bloody tradition. The novel, The Five Turns of the Wheel, outlined the most horrific of these – or did it?
In these short stories, Tommy, Betty and Fiddler reappear alongside others of their kind and continue to spread their unique brand of cruelty across the Weald.
The Wheel never stopped turning.
Beneath a Pale Sky: Phillip Fracassi
Synopsis: Beneath a Pale Sky collects eight stories of horror, including two original novellettes, that will take you from the high-security ward of a mental hospital to the top of a Ferris Wheel on an ocean pier. These stories will bury you in the rubble of an earthquake, pull back the veil on a soul's journey into the afterlife, and turn a small midwestern town into the secret domain of cross-dimensional gods. Combining old-school horror with the modern weird, Philip Fracassi will take you places you've never been before, and show you sights you won't soon forget.The supernatural intrudes upon a wedding; a pier becomes the site of tragedy; a collapsed building is only the start of the nightmare for those trapped in the ruins; a scientist who makes the discovery of a lifetime, only to find out that what he's unearthed has dire consequences not only for himself, but for all of mankind.
Under Twin Suns – Alternate histories of the yellow sign: Assorted Authors
Synopsis: In this anthology of weird fiction, twenty-two authors share their harrowing visions of worlds shaped by the Yellow Sign, in stories and poems inspired by Robert W. Chambers's foundational works of weird horror. From the personal to the historic, from the macabre to the fantastic, the stories and poems gathered here illuminate new, unexpected realities shaped by the King in Yellow, under the sway of the Yellow Sign, or in the grip of madnesses inspired by their power.

You have finally made the big decision to buy your first home in Canada. Congratulations! I am sure you can't wait to start looking for that perfect place to settle in. Home buying is, undoubtedly, one of the most exciting experiences in anyone's life.
However, purchasing your first home comes with its fair share of stress along with it. From deciding the type of house suitable for your family, getting pre-approved for a mortgage loan, to negotiating the offer, and handling all the legalities – it is bound to be a time-consuming and frustrating journey.
Throughout my experience as a real estate agent, I have seen eager first-time buyers make many mistakes in their excitement and hurry of finally getting their own home. I have compiled a list of the most common mistakes made by first-time home buyers and how you can avoid them:
Not Hiring a Real Estate Agent (ME)
Among the most crucial mistakes to avoid when buying your first home is to not hire an experienced real estate agent to guide you through this process. An expert realtor has a thorough understanding of the market, and is aware of suitable homes that can meet your requirements and budget.
The agent can save you time by showing you homes they know you will like. Moreover, they will also help you through difficult contractual agreements, understanding the financing jargon, and not to mention, negotiating on your behalf.
Falling in Love with a House too quickly
Often people fall for a house that closely resembles their dream house. They make a quick buying decision without looking at other houses, which might be more appropriate for them because they don't want someone else to make the purchase before them.
The fact is that what appears like your dream house might not even be suitable for you. This is something many first-time home buyers realize after they finalize the deal. It is essential to consider both the pros and cons of every house you view. Every house will have certain issues and problems, along with the many benefits. You need to closely examine all aspects before you make the final decision so that you don't have any regrets in the future.
Not Considering the Location
A breathtaking interior will do you no good if it is miles away from your work, in an unsafe neighbourhood, or in the middle of nowhere. I can't stress enough the importance of location. This factor also plays a major role in determining the future appreciation and resale value of the house.
You must not neglect exploring the neighbourhood, talking to the neighbours, finding out about the school district, the commercial area, as well as the distance from your work. All these factors play a major role in a successful home buying process.
Neglecting Professional Home Inspection
This certainly will be appealing to the seller of the house, but you will end up with a house loaded with faults in your hands. This means you might have to spend more on fixing the problems and end up in a tough financial situation.
I always recommend buyers to conduct a professional home inspection to identify any existing or potential issues in the house. This gives you a better idea and helps you determine whether or not you want to close the deal.
Opting For an Unaffordable Home
Many first-time home buyers are thrilled to get approved for a mortgage loan suitable for a luxurious home without considering that it might not be affordable. Getting a mortgage certainly doesn't mean you would be able to afford an expensive house.
You must examine your savings and financial situation, create a budget and then determine what you can afford to pay every month. Consider the costs associated with utilities, property taxes, insurance, and other fees to avoid ending up in a home you can't afford in the long term.
Not Waiting for a Mortgage Pre-Approval
When you make the decision to buy your first home, it is understandable that you would want to immediately start house hunting. This will not only waste your time, but will also make the decision hard. Getting pre-approved for a mortgage immediately narrows down the choices to the ones you can afford, and makes the home-buying process quicker and smoother. Most importantly, sellers always give priority to the buyers who are pre-approved for mortgage.
Failing to Focus on the Bones of the House
It is difficult to say no to wooden floors, marble countertops, and a beautiful garden, but you must remember that the structure and bones of the house is the key. You must consider the condition of the plumbing system, construction, HVAC unit, as well as the roof, along with other factors. Merely focusing on the aesthetics of the house is not enough to make a sound buying decision.
Not Hiring a Lawyer
Often, first-time home buyers avoid consulting a lawyer for various reasons, including saving money, having a bad encounter with a lawyer previously, or too much self-confidence. This decision may cost you a major chunk of your money.
Buying a house isn't merely about selecting one house and paying for it. The process involves plenty of legalities, which an individual without a legal background and experience might not be able to handle on their own.
Therefore, to protect your investment and ensure you make the right decision, it is always wise to get all the paperwork checked with your lawyer before you sign anything.
Opting for a Fixer Upper or Handyman Special
Even if you have been pre-approved for a mortgage, you still might not get approved for financing if you are hoping to buy a dilapidated property to fix it up. While minor updates and renovation might not be a problem, but your mortgage broker might not agree with you opting for a major fixer upper.
Be sure to discuss any such projects you might have in mind with the mortgage broker before you make the purchase offer so you can avoid unnecessary stress.
Forgetting about Closing Costs
Another mistake many home buyers make is not considering the closing cost when creating their budget. It is pretty easy to miss the closing costs when you have never purchased a house before.
Often, closing costs end up being three to four percent of the purchase price of the house! This will surely put a major dent in your budget. Therefore, save yourself from this stress and make sure to include closing costs in your budget. This may include fees for home inspection, lawyer, and land transfer taxes.
Exhausting Savings
It is indeed rather tempting to make the full down payment by scraping as much money as you possibly can. This typically means using all your savings. While completely using your savings to pay the closing costs and down payment may seem rational to you, it is certainly not a smart decision.
Doing this means you will have absolutely nothing left for unexpected renovations, emergency funds, price hike in bills like insurance and property tax. You will only end up putting yourself and your family in a risky situation with nothing to fall back on.
Make sure to talk it through with your mortgage broker and discuss all your options. Make sure you have enough savings for emergencies.
Also, consult an expert to make your home buying experience a pleasant one. Purchasing your first ever home in Canada is indeed a significant investment that will set you up for years to come. Therefore, be wary of these mistakes to ensure you can secure your investment.

salmon takuan rice
Over the weekend, the temps were said to be July/August levels...gah!
Anyway, I wanted to share this easy recipe.
We stumbled upon this combination when we bought a couple of musubi from a sozai (pre-made food) shop.
For 1 cup of cooked rice mix in 30 grams of flaked salmon (I used a bottled type) and 30 grams of thinly sliced takuan.
Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Serve in chawan (rice bowl) or make into musubi.
NOTES: For this version, I don't wrap the musubi in nori.
We just eat as is.
So delicious, we love the sweet crunch from the takuan and salty from the salmon.
I've already made this twice and it is quickly becoming a favorite of ours.
Hydrate everyone, summer is here!

International envoy Kofi Annan arrived in Syria on Monday amid growing fury over a gruesome massacre that killed 108 people in one town.
He vowed "serious" discussions with President Bashar al-Assad and said he had a message for "everyone with a gun": to halt the violence.
Rebel leaders have said Annan's six-point plan is already "dead" following the killings in Houla, a suburb of the anti-government bastion of Homs. U.N. monitors in Syria said 49 children were among those slaughtered there Friday.
Al-Assad's regime insists it was not behind the massacre and blames terrorist groups. Throughout the uprising against the government, Syria has blamed violence on "armed terrorist groups."

Good info. Lucky me I reach on your website by accident, I bookmarked it.
Those are yours alright! . We at least need to get these people stealing images to start blogging! They probably just did a image search and grabbed them. They look good though!
Pretty! This was a really wonderful post. Thank you for your provided information.
I've been browsing on-line greater than 3 hours these days, yet I never discovered any fascinating article like yours. It is lovely price sufficient for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net can be much more useful than ever before.
Hi, just required you to know I he added your site to my Google bookmarks due to your layout. But seriously, I believe your internet site has 1 in the freshest theme I??ve came across. It extremely helps make reading your blog significantly easier.
Keep functioning ,terrific job!
My brother recommended I would possibly like this blog. He was entirely right. This submit truly made my day. You cann't believe simply how a lot time I had spent for this info! Thanks!
This is a classic situation in which it is virtually impossible to find who is responsible. The world does not have methods to detect whose the incoming projectiles are. That is prevented by the fact that the shooters are hidden in buildings or behind the. This dooms the Annan Plan! I see no other way than to ask Al Assad to make massive concessions to the opposition, to spare his nation more bloodshed! Call it the Desertvoice Plan.
Why must CNN insist on plastering blatant Israeli propaganda??
Remember Bahrain anybody??
It's time to stop messing around here. Action needs to be taken immediately. Actual action not talk.
Does anyone take this clown seriously?

Oh, god, it's the getting started that's the most difficult, every damn time. The image is there, the feeling of where it all has to go. And don't get me wrong: I love the journey and all that; it's not like I'm some prescriptive autocrat, forcing round pegs into square holes, boring tracts of narrative and lines of logic where no holes exist whatsoever. Not generally, anyway. But before any journey can begin you need to put your clothes on and get one foot moving in front of the other, right? So many times I just end up standing there, the winds whistling through my ears, naked.
It's a pity, really – not for me, necessarily, but just for that big corpus of collective consciousness out there. I mean, I've got some really great ideas, man! Sometimes when things are going well, my brain fairly fizzes and snaps; and other times, when things aren't, that's when the really good ideas start flowing. But if you can't get started, what's the use? Does that big corpus of collective consciousness include all of those good-but-never-actualised ideas? If so, my whole outlook on humanity might change for the better.
The problem isn't laziness or anxiety or whatever else people complain about, but rather one of too much freedom. A hungry gull sitting on a stump wants to fly down the beach and so she jumps, starts to fall and is forced to flap her wings. Without that initial nudge – an endless number of potential directions! – would she just sit there, endlessly, dithering and withering away?

Seed Exchange
For the past few years, people have encouraged me to exchange seeds grown in excess on the property. I have resisted this because until recently there has always been more places to plant. Nonetheless, I now am willing to collect some seeds for exchange. This will allow me to obtain new species from you. Be aware, that these seeds are acclimated to S.E. Minnesota about 40 miles S.E of Twin Cities. To contact me click here. Richard Rickert In return, I would be interested in seeds that will survive a zone 4b. Below are some of the seeds that I have collected.
Anise Hyssop (Agastache Foeniculum)
This was one of the first native plants that I fell in love with. Many years ago, I planted a 2 by 8 foot patch from seeds that I had collected. It took two years before flowers appeared. Today, many years later, the same patch is about 4 by 12 feet. They are beautiful in mass planting. I have successfully planted their seeds now in many places. Not a common plant in Minnesota.
Ravenna Grass (Erianthus ravennae)
This was the second plant that I fell in love with. This perrenial (for me in Minnesota) will take many years to get large. Once started, they spread via rhizomes very slowly. Anyone who wants a tall ornamental grass and who is willing to wait about 5 years will love this plant. It grows about two feets taller each year. The plumbs last and are beautiful.
Purple Locoweed (Oxytropis lambertii)
This native is my current love. It takes several years before it blooms. The plant has very little folliage, mostly flowers. What is most stricking about this plant is its attraction to Monarch butterflies. In all my years in Minnesota, I only know of three locations where this plant grows in the wild. It is quite uncommon. I have never seen this plant or its seeds for sale from any nursery. Very limited supply. I use most of the seeds myself. I still don't have enough for me.
This native does well in sandy dry soil. It is sometimes called Common White Yarrow.
Common Mullein (Verbascum thapsus)
This native, also, does well in sandy well drained soil. It's flower is yellow and has real nice folliage. Its a biennial (takes two years to grow). The first year it develops beautiful fuzzy folliage no more than 6" tall. The second year it develops a long 5' or 6' spike with yellow flowers. It adds verticle structure to a garden and maintains its vertical structure through the winter. The Romans used them to make torches.

Season Preview 2011-12 Part 6 04/08/2011Posted by Matt Rowson in Thoughts about things.
Nearly through now folks, thanks for sticking with it…
INS: Mikele Leigertwood (Queens Park Rangers, Undisclosed), Bongani Khumalo (Tottenham Hotspur, Season Loan)
OUTS: Ben Hamer (Charlton Athletic, Undisclosed), Matt Mills (Leicester City, Undisclosed), Scott Davies (Crawley Town, Free), Ivar Ingimarsson (Ipswich Town, Free), Julian Kelly (Notts County, Free), David Mooney (Leyton Orient, Free), James Rowe (Forest Green Rovers, Free), Abdulai Bell-Baggie, Danny Joyce, Carl McHugh (Dundalk, Loan)
OUR EX-ROYALS: None
THEIR EX-ORNS: Nigel Gibbs (Assistant Manager), Brynjar Gunnarsson, Jobi McAnuff
RECENT ENCOUNTERS: Two mundane draws, in contrast to recent seasons' Rodgers and Attwell-induced excitement. Troy Deeney (our place) and Andi Weimann (theirs) were the Watford goalscorers in two 1-1 ties.
Griffin Pearce Khumalo Harte
Kebe Leigertwood Karacan McAnuff
Long Hunt
VERDICT: Ultimately disappointment for Reading last time round after another late surge took them into the play-offs at the expense, entertainingly enough, of Leeds United. I can't have been the only Hornet imploring the Royals to go long (that's long, small l, not Long, big L) as they fell dramatically behind at Wembley; Swansea rocked and creaked as soon as we started lumping balls into the box at Vicarage Road last season, falling just short of an unlikely comeback ourselves. The Royals got two goals back, both from corners, but didn't have a big man to aim for and fell just short.
Since then centre-back Mills has departed and Shane Long looks likely to follow – prolific strikers are too rare a thing for someone not to take a punt, West Brom and West Ham having been linked with an interest so far. Given these departures, and the loss of loan players, Reading look significantly weaker with a fairly old first team – although in the likes of Robson-Kanu, Cummings and McCarthy there are younger players on the fringes of the first eleven. The Royals look vulnerable defensively, with a lack of cover at centre back as I write and Ian Harte in particular, never the quickest in his younger days, increasingly exposed by a tricky winger. There's too much savvy in that management team to allow Reading to struggle, but I can't see a play-off challenge again. Mid-table.
INS: Jack Cork (Chelsea, Undisclosed), Steve de Ridder (De Graafschaap, Undisclosed)
OUTS: Tony Garrod (Farnborough, Free), Callum McNish (Exeter City, Free), Anthony Pulis (Aldershot Town, Free), Sam Argent, Ryan Tafazolli
OUR EX-SAINTS: None
THEIR EX-ORNS: David Connolly, Jack Cork
RECENT ENCOUNTERS: Aidy Boothroyd's last win, a 3-0 triumph in Hampshire during which Jack Cork turned out for Southampton, and a 2-2 at home in which the Saints equalised late, Cork was playing in yellow and Andrej Stepanovs set a record with the shortest Watford career in history.
Butterfield Fonte Martin Harding
Chamberlain Cork Chaplow Lallana
Lambert Connolly
VERDICT: There's no guarantee, of course, that a drop into the third tier after a long spell in the top two divisions will see a side bounce back in rude health within a year or two. Any number of counter-examples exist; Oldham Athletic for one, who after 24 years in the top two divisions boasting a couple of FA Cup semi finals and a League Cup final defeat to Forest dropped into the third tier for what might have been a brief sojourn in 1997. They're still there.
The Saints, however, have overcome the combined obstacles of relegation, administration, near-bankruptcy, a points deduction and Alan Pardew to return to the second tier at the second time of asking. The Saints' saviour was Swiss benefactor Markus Liebherr, who passed away at the start of last season without seeing his investment result in promotion. Southampton may have made a limited number of (nonetheless impressive) additions this summer, but spent heavily over the eighteen months prior to promotion. The side looks well-balanced, supplemented by a famously prolific youth policy and if a centre-back is recruited as planned they look to have decent options in every position. That's not to say that we won't continue our fine recent run against them – six wins, a draw and 22 goals scored against the Saints in seven games since the 2003 FA Cup semi – but they should have enough to finish comfortably mid-table. Eleventh.
INS: Matt Taylor (Bolton Wanderers, £2,200,000), Kevin Nolan (Newcastle United, Undisclosed), Abdoulaye Faye (Stoke City, Free), Joey O'Brien (Bolton Wanderers, Free)
OUTS: Manuel da Costa (Lokomotiv Moscow, £1,300,000), Demba Ba (Newcastle United, Undisclosed), Radoslav Kovac (Basel, Undisclosed), Luis Boa Morte (Larissa, Free), Kieron Dyer (Queens Park Rangers, Free), Anthony Edgar (Yeovil Town, Free), Holmar Eyjolfsson (VfL Bochum, Free), Danny Gabbidon (Queens Park Rangers, Free), Jonathan Spector (Birmingham City, Free), Thomas Hitzlsperger, Lars Jacobsen, Filip Modelski, Adam Street, Matthew Upson, Jordan Spence (Bristol City, Season Loan)
OUR EX-HAMMERS: None
THEIR EX-ORNS: Andy Rolls (Physiotherapist)
RECENT ENCOUNTERS: After an extraordinary 21-game winless run against the Hammers spanning 22 years, we've won each of the last three encounters 1-0. Most recently, Hayden Mullins' own goal gave us a Carling Cup victory three years ago.
O'Brien Faye Tomkins Ilunga
Barrera Collison Nolan Noble Taylor
VERDICT: It would, most impartial observers would agree, be quite funny if West Ham didn't get promoted. It's not that the Hammers stand out as the most unpleasant of our contemporaries; whatever your particular prejudices I don't suspect that, this coming season, you'd struggle to find three of this season's opponents that you'd wish relegation on, or a plague of frogs or something similar. As a friend pithily observed earlier in the week, "What a disgusting division we are in".
The unholy trinity are a notoriously difficult circus act to warm to, of course (even if one of them does appear on The Apprentice and must therefore be "well cool"). And you've got the whole Olympic Stadium thing, difficult not to sympathise with Orient in those circumstances given that rules limiting relocation to another club's patch seem to carry a "unless you really want to" waiver. And there's all those years of indistinguishable 1-0 defeats. But in particular, the strategy embodied by the decision to award Kevin Nolan, 29, a five-year contract. At a reported £65k per week. Good grief. Nolan's a fine player by our division's standards, played a big role in Newcastle's cake walk two years ago, but that's a crazy, reckless contract for a top flight club to offer. Almost contemptuous.
West Ham are going to be promoted, quite clearly. For a blueprint, see QPR last season; a side that was always reasonably pretty but lightweight and occasionally flimsy appointed against type in Neil Warnock. An odd fit, intuitively, but a perfect one as it turned out; Warnock brought in his trolls to give QPR a tough spine, a bit of nasty. Allardyce is a similarly incongruous appointment for West Ham, not obviously a West Ham sort of manager at all. But he's already brought in some grit (particularly, as won't have escaped your notice, former charges from Bolton, although Matt Taylor was recruited by Gary Megson six months after Allardyce's departure)… and the squad he inherits suddenly looks so strong that you wonder how they managed to be relegated at all, even if one assumes the departure of Scott Parker. Joey O'Brien in particular will prove a corking signing if he is over his injury problems, Jack Collison is back from the injury that all but ruled him out of last season, and there are, as ever, good kids all over the place. Up there with Leicester, everyone else a long way behind.
And finally…
INS: Carl Dickinson (Stoke City, Undisclosed), Craig Forsyth (Dundee, Undisclosed), Chris Iwelumo (Burnley, Undisclosed), Mark Yeates (Sheffield United, Undisclosed), Prince Buaben (Dundee United, Free), David Mirfin (Scunthorpe United, Free)
OUTS: Danny Graham (Swansea City, £3,500,000), Will Buckley (Brighton & Hove Albion, £1,000,000), Don Cowie (Cardiff City, Free), Nathan Ellington (Ipswich Town, Free), Liam Henderson (York City, Free), Mat Sadler (Walsall, Free), Tom Aldred (Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Six Month Loan), Rob Kiernan
Doyley Mariappa Taylor Dickinson
Yeates Eustace Buaben Forsyth
Iwelumo Sordell
VERDICT: So. The most important bit, then. And as ever, the hardest bit to write, given that, firstly, it's far less acceptable to present glib generalisations in this section; secondly, a far greater consciousness of the many pros and cons to weigh up; thirdly, my two-year old daughter is in mid-tantrum having not napped during this hot, humid day and is slapping me as I type. Ignoring her so far…
A summer of ups and downs, it's fair to say. You might argue there have been more downs than ups, more significant ones. I dunno. Perhaps so. But Graham was always going to go, and Mackay's move wasn't a huge surprise much as it was disappointing. The loss of Don Cowie was a bolt from the blue, and Julian Winter's departure depressing and alarming in equal measure. On the pitch though… Cowie's the one, the one that doesn't fit the mould. Selling Graham, and to a lesser extent Buckley, surely fits the plan… buy them young and talented, bring them on, sell them on. Graham had outgrown us, Buckley will need to get his shit together to an unprecedented extent to make £1m feel like a bad deal. If we think it's a good model (and I think it's a great model) then you bite the bullet when the time comes.
On the upside, retaining Dyche was a huge plus on several levels. One might argue that he was always going to accept a manager's job having been offered it, but if Mackay really felt the need to bail out rather than merely moving his career on, as he saw it, then one might have expected Dyche to jump ship also. He didn't, so we keep a man who was clearly no wallflower in the previous management structure, has a long-standing knowledge of the club and who sounds as if he's been dining on exhausts. Big tick. Another to commit himself to the club was John Eustace, a massive plus and testimony again to the way things were going. Eustace clearly had options, Derby publicly pursued him and he still lives in the midlands. He stayed, so we retain our leader on the pitch. Perhaps the biggest signing of the summer. Others extended or signed new contracts, Thompson, Massey… tick, tick. Not to be taken for granted.
And then the recruits. We've not had a mass influx like this since Aidy Boothroyd's dramatic first summer in charge, and if we don't obviously have a goalscorer to replace Graham or as complete a midfielder as Don Cowie, we're surely stronger throughout the squad for numbers. There's a trend too… it's not so very long ago, the first half of Malky's first season before Martin Taylor's arrival, that we didn't have a six footer outfield and were looking a little lightweight, much as we moved the ball well. No danger of that this season, with Iwelumo, Mirfin and Dickinson in particular all providing some physical presence that the side has previously been short of. It's difficult to compare ins with outs on the whole; the outs were known quantities, the ins by definition are not. But as far as it goes… Iwelumo and Dickinson in particular look great catches, filling big and (in Dickinson's case in particular) long-standing holes in the squad. The others all give us options in areas we needed options. Tick, tick, tick. The kidz… Jenkins, Thompson, Sordell, Whichelow, Mingoia, Bennett, Hodson, Deeney, Bryan, Oshodi; youngsters with a season's worth more experience in or around the squad. This will make them better players. Murray, Massey, Isaac, Assombalonga, Bond, Mensah maybe aren't too far behind. We've lost some key men, sure. But we're breeding our own, and these guys need space to grow. We maybe need a striker as it stands, but I don't look at our squad and think "christ, how are we going to get through this". How mant of that first list of kids do you look at and think "he won't make it" ? People will have their own opinions on individuals… but not many, I'd guess. That's a hell of a reflection on how we bring on our youngsters (even if, admittedly, Deeney was brought in from outside).
How will we do? Do you know, I almost don't care. No, that's not true. I want us to win every game we play, I rock up as we all do at Vicarage Road, Turf Moor, wherever, desperate for us to beat whoever we're playing. But we finished fourteenth last season, and it was brilliant. There's a fallacy, rolled out whenever an administrator or chairman is defending decisions that lead to overspending, which goes that pressure comes from fans who "always want to watch their team win". Yeah, they do. But "watching their team" is more important, when it comes down to it. I really enjoyed watching our team last season. The number of kids we've got coming through, not just paying lip service to bringing kids on, is brilliant. With that comes a patience with players on the part of the support – not everyone of course, there's always an idiot. But people are supportive of the kids they've brought through. They're part of our fabric, to a greater extent. I love that.
For what it's worth, I think we'll do just fine. We're not going to win the league, clearly. OK. But I don't think we're going to struggle either. That line up above doesn't look like one to mess with to me, and there's cover now, players in every department with experience. Our players, our experience. Bring it on.
That's it. See you at Turf Moor…
- 1. JohnF - 04/08/2011
I agree with what you say Matt but I think the big question for us will be where the goals come from. Theoretically there are goals throughout the team, although the defenders need to weigh in with a few more at set pieces. However, we know how form varies and a good start will be important to build confidence that is so crucial for strikers. .
- 2. Mark T - 04/08/2011
I think someone shoud cut and paste your last couple of paragrpahs about what it is like to watch a team like Watford and share with those who think their club is 'too good for this division' or 'just need to spend some money'. Thank goodness for a 'proper' supporter…
- 3. NickB - 04/08/2011
Looks like Reading are going to have a Long Hunt for goals.
Where've I put that coat…
- 4. Ian Lay - 04/08/2011
Big thanks to Matt for all his hard work putting the season preview together. Always a great read. I think you were right in splitting it up into 6 parts. Made it easier to digest.
I think with all the ins and outs we've had since the end of the season, mid-table will be pretty good and I'd take that now if someone offered it.
- 5. David, Aylesbury - 04/08/2011
Further to comment 2 from Mark T, Matt's last couple of paragraphs summed up for me exactly why this website is so bloody brilliant as well as what being a Watford supporter is all about.
Great preview – now let's bring on the new season !
- 6. MartinG - 04/08/2011
Thanks for the preview Matt. An interesting read throughout. I'm less confident than you about our chances. I think we've a tough start and if it goes wrong heads could drop. But I'll be very happy to be proved incorrect and will be there through thick and thin regardless.
- 7. Jeremy Clarkeson - 05/08/2011
Mr Matt
Great piece of work, get McGinn back, Thompson in team and Deeney/Sordell playing the DG role and we could have a class of 83 all over again … there are plenty of teams worse than us and only a couple that on paper look better
- 8. Roger68 - 10/08/2011
Jeremy–no, I do not agree. I can see a dozen teams clearly better than we are (more experienced manager, more quality in the squad, bigger resources to deal with set-backs or to capitalise on a good start) and only a couple I would see us as favourites to beat at this stage of the season. The first five games look very hard–if we get three points out of 15 I will be surprised. The new signings look like journeymen–a supporting cast in search of a star –though Forsyth may turn out to be a saleable asset. The best point about the new signings is that they bring depth to the squad, which will be useful when the going gets tough.

Yglesias Award Nominee
"As much as I am in favor of reducing the size and cost of the state (and doing so sharpish), the current mess is not going to be sorted out without some increase in tax receipts and, no, economic recovery will not by itself be enough quickly enough to do the trick. If we have to increase taxes, that is better achieved by a broad-based tax than heaping yet more levies on individual income," - Andrew Stuttaford, another sane conservative at NRO, with an open mind on the VAT.
One thing occurs to me as I see, for example, where Fareed Zakaria, David Frum, Andrew Stuttaford and myself have migrated in recent years. We were all Thatcherite/Reaganite conservatives of varying stripes in the 1980s. And we all feel, to varying degrees, uncomfortable in modern American conservatism.
What else do we have in common? None of us was born here.
There is something deeply and profoundly American about the current right, its conspiracy theories, its paranoia, its racial issues, its sexual panic, its fundamentalist timbre. Conservatives not from the South or imbued in the cultural legacy of the twentieth century - i.e. those who mistook Buckley for the forces he successfully challenged - remain on a learning curve wit respect to the some core, and especially Southern, factions on the American right.
It is far darker and stranger than many of us ever truly grasped. And it took us a while to realize it.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - Pennsylvania's Republican U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey said Tuesday that he is on board with the Senate considering President Donald Trump's forthcoming nominee to the Supreme Court right away, despite having endorsed waiting eight months until after the 2016 election to fill a vacancy under President Barack Obama.
The difference now, Toomey said, is that the Senate and White House are controlled by the same party, so there is no reason now to wait until after the Nov. 3 election, just six weeks away.
"When divided government creates tension between the two organs responsible for filling a position on the Supreme Court, it is completely justifiable to leave open a vacancy until the voters have had a chance to speak," Toomey said in a statement.
Trump said he is obligated to pick a nominee as soon as possible to replace the liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died Friday.
Democrats says Ginsburg's seat should not be filled until after voters pick between Trump and Democrat Joe Biden and the winner is sworn in.
In 2016, Toomey supported the decision to put off consideration of Obama's nominee, Merrick Garland, nominated in March to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia.
Ultimately, Trump made the pick.

5 Unforeseen Problems When Buying A House ǀ Homes & Interiors
I know…I know…another house related post. The thing about purchasing a renovation house is that it becomes your entire world and is pretty much all I think about during both my waking and sleeping hours. It also puts me in a pretty good position to share about unforeseen issues because we have (unfortunately) had plenty of those!
As is standard with any house purchase we had a survey done before we put in an offer and it threw up the usual problems you would expect with a house of this age. Gutters would need replacing, pipes were a little bit worn, windows would probably need to be updated in the next 10 years…on and on the list went but nothing seemed too large to be dealt with and so we duly put in an offer and moved forward.
As you may have noticed since if you've followed my Youtube updates we have run into various problems (such as having to move out again as we have the whole house re-wired) and so I thought today I'd write a post about some of the other unforeseen issues you can sometimes run into when purchasing a house and how to look out for them:-
The electrics
I'll start with something I can 100% speak about from experience. Our survey picked up that there was a new fuse box and that the electrics were most likely okay. On this basis we didn't feel it was necessary to have an additional survey done but I so wish we had. If you are purchasing an old house and there is any likelihood that the wiring has not been recently replaced then I would suggest having additional checks made, even at your own expense. We called in an electrician to move a light switch in Eli's room which should have been a pretty simple job and found that new wires had simply been attached to old wires and that the actual wiring was over 50 years old and completely in pieces. We have now had to come up with an extra couple of thousand pounds to have the entire house rewired and we've had to move back out to get this done as promptly as possible. It became something of a necessity when one of the light switches gave James an electric shock!
I think this also should cover the central heating and boiler if there is no evidence that it has recently been replaced.
Asbestos is one of those things which, hand on heart, I thought had been over and done with, until it was flagged in our survey as possibly being in the garage roof. I was aware that it had been in old houses and that it caused health issues but I didn't really understand the extent that it is still present until I read this post by Your Legal Friend. Asbestos kills around 6,000 people every year which is absolutely shocking! We know that it is not in our home but it may possibly be in the garage which we are planning on taking down at some point in the future. Due to this we will have to arrange for additional tests to be carried out and if the asbestos is present then we will need to have specialists remove the roof rather than doing it ourselves, disturbing things and running the risk of health complications. If you have any question marks about whether asbestos is in your home then have it tested.
Japanese Knotweed
Japanese Knotweed is an invasive plant which can cause serious structural damage if it gets into your property and is left unchecked. If you have a survey done you should receive information about what to look out for but it is important that you check for yourself. Your local council should also have information about whether your property is in an area which is affected by this aggressively growing nuisance. In fact, its growth is so rapid that if you spot it and fail to treat it then you can be issued with an Antisocial Behaviour Order and fined up to £2,500. Definitely worth having a quick check.
Damp is one of those tricky blighters which it can be impossible to spot until you start peeling back the layers of your home. It can be papered or painted over, or covered with new flooring and unless it is a persistent problem you are very unlikely to realise it is in your home until it's too late. That said, there are some things you can look out for: discolouration of walls and ceilings, condensation in windows or a musty odour in the property. If you've already moved into a property and discovered damp then it is going to cost you, but it is certainly a problem worth fixing sooner rather than later and one well worth calling in the professionals for.
Future developments
There has been a huge upsurge in property development all across the UK and if you are looking to buy a house which is surrounded by open land then it is worth doing a little research to see whether that land is likely to be bought and built on in the near future. This was something which actually affected our decision to pull out of the first house we put an offer in for; it backed onto some stunning open farmland with views for miles but shortly after we put in an offer we discovered that the farmland had been sold and hundreds of new houses were about to be built, and would end up overlooking our garden! Future developments could affect the value of your property as well as simply spoiling the views you may have fallen in love with. A quick check with your local council can usually help you find out whether the land is earmarked for any development.
I know this sounds a little 'doom and gloom' when buying a house should be an exciting prospect but I speak from the heart when I say that the last thing you want is to move in and discover a whole host of problems which will end up costing you more money in the long run. We should have unpacked, redecorated and settled into our new home now but instead we are living out of suitcases in a friend's house whilst our unforeseen issues get fixed! And that is definitely not what we would have chosen.

My experience here with Dr. R was a good one. I came here for two cleanings so far, and started whitening treatment. he seems to be a really caring dentist, not just in it for the money. Sits down and talks with you to thoroughly answer your questions. Thank you!
Went under Smile Makeover Center to take care of some fillings, root canal, crown work. It literally seemed like I went out, then I just woke up and he was done. Probably the best dental visit I have ever had. The doctors there have an amazing demeanor, making me feel very comfortable with my treatment plan. A+++++++ service
Awesome staff! Extravagant facilities! Had to go through a pretty rough surgery but the doctor made it so smooth for me. Great experience overall. Recommend to anyone in need.
I have been coming here for two years and have never been disappointed. From hygienist to Dr. they make me feel relaxed and not scared. They even worked my son in from SC for emergency a few months back. Father and son what a team!!
Had to get a bridge, this was my first one and I was a bit nervous. The dentist did a really good job, I've been here three times so far and each time I never ran into any problems. Pricing was reasonable.
I'm so very happy with the way the doctors and staff have treated me. They are professionals who understand the significance of being compassionate, truthful, and understanding of their guests. So happy to have these great group of awesome people on my side. They simply ROCK!!!!

Lookout Software is proud to announce that OfficeCalendar Version 4.5 is now available. OfficeCalendar Version 4.5 rolls up all the exciting features of Version 4 plus the newest addition, OfficeCalendar Online, into one feature-packed application that's designed to enhance your organization's productivity.
The latest OfficeCalendar V4 update, Version v184.108.40.206, features the ability for OfficeCalendar to run as a Windows Service. This convenient feature allows synchronization between the OfficeCalendar Server and user machines if Windows is running on the OfficeCalendar Server but a Windows account is not logged on. Users can send and receive updates to their shared calendar, contact and task information as long as the computer designated as the OfficeCalendar Server is turned on.
The all-new V4 product also includes OfficeCalendar Online, only available with OfficeCalendar Version 4.5, which allows unlimited online access to your personal and shared Outlook calendars. OfficeCalendar Version 4.5 also includes all the features of Version 4, including the ability to share Outlook Distribution Lists and receive notifications when someone adds and/or modifies appointments to your calendar.
Although we've implemented some amazing new features, we've also stayed true to our mission of keeping OfficeCalendar both practical and simple to use. After all, software should be designed to simplify our lives, not complicate it.
With OfficeCalendar Version 4.5, viewing your Outlook calendars via a web browser is simple and secure. Using a unique OfficeCalendar Online login account, users can log in online to view their Outlook calendars just as they would within their desktop copy of Microsoft Outlook. This feature is ideal for users who are routinely away from the office and need access to their Microsoft Outlook calendars, or for those who only need occasional access to their Calendars from a home computer.
Below is a Day view example of a personal Outlook calendar online using OfficeCalendar Online
Accessing Outlook calendars at all times isn't always an option with many OfficeCalendar users, especially for those who travel regularly or work from home that do not have Microsoft Outlook access outside of their office. OfficeCalendar Online solves this problem by allowing users to quickly pull up their Outlook calendars using a web browser. From your OfficeCalendar Online account, you can view all previously synchronized appointments from your personal and shared Outlook calendars.
Below is an example of shared Outlook calendars online including group calendars with OfficeCalendar Online
With OfficeCalendar Version 4, you can now manage and share Outlook Distribution Lists with everyone in your office. What's a distribution list? For those of you not familiar with distribution lists, Outlook has a feature within its Contacts folder whereby you can store a group of contacts as a distribution list. Outlook Distribution Lists provide a quick and easy way to communicate with these groups of people. These groups (or distribution lists) may include, but are not limited to, work teams, departments, customers, prospects, partners, vendors, etc. Once a distribution list has been created in Outlook you may then quickly and easily send meeting requests, task requests, and or even a frequent email newsletter or memo to these groups. The result is a faster, easier and more efficient way to effectively communicate with these groups.
While you can currently maintain one or more Outlook Distribution Lists in your Outlook Contacts folder, you can't currently share them with other users with previous versions of OfficeCalendar. This is because while Outlook Distribution Lists are stored in the Outlook Contacts folder, they are designed as separate program objects and are not included in as part of the Outlook programming API object model from Microsoft. However, our engineering team has discovered a unique and reliable way to access Outlook Distribution Lists without the help of the standard Outlook API. For most folks out there, we realize that this might sound a little confusing. However, the end result is that we are able to reliably access Outlook Distributions Lists with OfficeCalendar so that they can be synced and shared among OfficeCalendar users.
But still, why would you want to share Outlook Distribution Lists? Based on conversations we've had with many customers and trial users, Outlook Distribution Lists become more powerful when they can be used and managed by multiple team members within an organization. For example, let's say you have a company contacts resource folder that is shared by everyone in the company. Multiple Outlook Distribution Lists are stored within this Contacts folder. In this scenario you have 2-3 people within your organization that can create and/or modify contacts and distribution lists within this Contacts folder; while another 10 people can view and use the distribution lists to send emails, meeting requests, task requests, etc. Thus, you not only have more people that can actively manage and maintain your distribution lists, you also have more people that can be more effective by being able to use these up-to-date contact groups for communication. As one OfficeCalendar user explained to us, "Our distribution lists are more effective because they are actively maintained by more than one person, and our company benefits by saving time in how quickly our employees can communicate with their colleagues and our customers."
Here are a few things Outlook Distribution Lists can be used for…
As was mentioned in previous paragraphs, Outlook Distribution Lists are stored in Outlook Contacts folders. Thus, with OfficeCalendar Version 4, any user that can view a particular Contacts folder can view its associated distribution lists. Essentially, whatever rights a user is given to a particular Contacts folder via OfficeCalendar security, that particular user will have the same rights regarding that Contacts folder's distribution lists.
Another highly requested feature over the past two years from our customers has been a mechanism to notify a user when someone else has added new appointments or modified existing appointments on their Outlook calendar. While we've worked with Outlook's built-in "Unread" appointment indicator, we've found that it doesn't always work consistently and simply doesn't do the job in which it's designed to do: notify you of changes to your calendar. Therefore, based on your suggestions, we've created a mechanism that actually alerts you with a pop-up message box within Outlook every time another person makes an addition or change to your calendar.
The appointment notification screen is actually quite simple in the way it works: you simply get a notification message, similar to an appointment reminder, when additions and/ or changes are made to your calendar by other people.
There are three things that can trigger an appointment notification:
Below are actual screen shots of these notifications in action with OfficeCalendar and Outlook
Our development team also took the extra effort to ensure end-users that they wouldn't get multiple annoying pop-ups each time their OfficeCalendar Client syncs. Each notification record is added to the one notification window until it is closed. Thus, if there are multiple records of additions and changes, you'll never see more than one pop-up window.
Finally, we took one extra step with the notifications process by logging all history against an appointment for which another user has added and/or modified. Thus, you can view an appointment's history, even after you've closed the notification window by keeping a record of each appointment's tracking history.
If you simply don't want to be notified of new appointments or changes to your calendar then we've added an extra feature just for you, a notification on/off switch. This option is stored for each individual Outlook/OfficeCalendar user.

Sizzla cancelled over low ticket sales
Sizzla live in concert, a one-night show that was supposed to take place at the L'Olympia in Montreal, was cancelled on Monday September 2 due to low ticket sales.
On the evening of the scheduled show, the following message was released: "In the light of the day we had, we are in the obligation to cancel the Sizzla show tonight. Sizzla don't want to perform due to the absence of ONE LOVE Festival Toronto's payment. All the tickets will be properly refunded," reads the statement on the concert venue website.
But this past Saturday, the CKUT 90.3FM West Indian Rhythms team with host Howard 'Stretch' Carr and co-host Faithlyn Sankhar sat down with Rickey D, organizer of the Sizzla concert, to discuss the reason for the event being officially cancelled.
"It really just came down to the numbers of tickets sold. We made the impossible; possible by bringing him into Canada. People don't realize its show business; without the show; there is no business and without the business there is no show," stated Rickey D, promoter of the event.
Listen to the full interview below:
About Rickey D
It always has been and it always will be. Ricardo Daley's (Rickey D's) first official event was Run DMC way back in 1985. Since then Montreal has witnessed one man's undeniable love of music and the musical talent that delivers it. Rickey's, equally important, contribution to music has been through marketing and promoting. His gift is the ability to take an idea or concept and nurture it to it's ripe fruition. The metaphorical 'fruits' that Rickey has harvested are hundreds of events – many of them blockbusters.
Rickey has compiled a professional portfolio that includes such mammoth shows as the Fugees, LL Cool J, Wutang Clan, A Tribe Called Quest and the Roots is already 'epic'. However a few paragraphs of text cannot adequately describe a career of such pedigree as this. It was Rickey who exposed the Montreal to Eminem and D12, it was him that took a chance on booking a little known English funk band named Jamiroquai!
If you catch him on the right day, Rickey will recount one of his musical lows as being the time that he went to Plattsburgh to bring the late, great Christopher Wallace across the border for what would have been his only visit to 'la belle province'. "screw the Canadian border" were biggies words that night, but thankfully Rickey's career would not end here. In fact it was just beginning.

The United States ranks last overall compared to six other industrialized countries-Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom-on measures of health system performance in five areas: quality, efficiency, access to care, equity, and the ability to lead long, healthy, productive lives, according to a Commonwealth Fund report.
The United States ranks last in value despite spending $7,290 per capita on healthcare in 2007 compared to the $3,837 spent per capita in the Netherlands, which ranked first overall, according to the report.
On two of four quality measures-effective care and patient-centered care-the United States ranks fourth. However, the United States ranks last when it comes to providing safe care, and next-to-last on coordinated care. American patients with chronic conditions are the most likely to report being given the wrong medication, the wrong dose, and a delayed abnormal test result.

Gender studies: Democracy's canary?
A panel talk on academic freedom
We are looking for two new Norwegian exchange participants to work for human rights and academic freedom in Harare. Apply by April 1st.
The Students' and Academics' International Assistance Fund (SAIH), in collaboration with our Zimbabwean partner the Youth Empowerment and Transformation Trust (YETT), is now recruiting two new Norwegian exchange participants through the NOREC Professional Exchange Program. Through this program you will have the opportunity to work with YETT, as well as the Zimbabwe National Students' Union (ZINASU) and other organisations and activists fighting for human rights and academic freedom of students and academics in Zimbabwe. This call for applicants is with one reservation: as the political situation in Zimbabwe is unstable there might be changes to the program.
Contact Hege Ottesen for more information: firstname.lastname@example.com, +47 986 02 670.
SAIH is a Norwegian solidarity organization of students and academics. Our goal is that all young people have access to quality education, in order to contribute to a more just society. Through higher education and training, young people are given the tools for critical and independent thinking, so that they can participate in public debate and help create a more just and inclusive society.
SAIH works with students and academics across Norway and collaborates with 30 organizations in seven countries in Latin America, Southern Africa and Asia.
SAIH has collaborated with the Zimbabwean Youth Empowerment and Transformation Trust since 2012. YETT is a youth networking organization committed to the full participation of young people in sustainable development. In many countries, students and academics are facing threat and harassment when engaging politically, and both YETT and SAIH aims to support those that are speaking out and to promote academic freedom.
As an exchange participant you will contribute to SAIH and YETT's work. You will be based in Harare, and work out of YETT's office, while also collaborating closely with other organisations throughout the country. The exchange starts with a 1-week introduction course in Oslo in August, followed by a preparation course in Johannesburg (South Africa), before the placement in Zimbabwe begins. You will stay in Zimbabwe for 12 months and return to Norway mid-August 2020. After your return you will be committed to spend 8 weeks (part time) carrying out follow-up work, with a focus on sharing the experiences and knowledge you have gained with SAIH and fellow Norwegian activists. SAIH is looking for two persons between the ages 22 – 35 with a background from student/youth organising and/or leadership, some professional experience, and keen interest in the field of higher education, academic freedom and policy engagement.
Location: Harare (prep and follow-up in Oslo)
Contract Length: 12 months placement + preparatory and follow-up work
SAIH covers costs of: travel, accommodation, salary (of approximately 15000 kr. per month), insurance and vaccinations. Preparation course/homecoming seminar is also catered for.

If you want a more impersonal way to pay your bills, and keep your relatives out of the mix, keep reading. We offer fast advance funding for settled or pending lawsuits and insurance settlements.
Advance lawsuit funding is an old concept - people have lent relatives and friends money to help them get by until a lawsuit or insurance settlement pays - and then the relative or friend gets paid back from the settlement.
Now anyone who qualifies can get an advance from funders - making it less personal, causing less stress on relationships and allowing those without the option of friends or family to get the monetary help they need. This type of advance has only been available since the 90's - once court constraints were figured out in how to handle an advance.
There were many instances of funders getting hit with cases that didn't pay back - and that put several out of business. The advance process is more streamlined now, more secure, and faster. There are funders who get inundated with requests and others who can handle all the requests that come in. The contracts are tighter, and there are less instances of fraud by the client.
In contrast to a conventional bank loan, a lawsuit advance will take the advanced funds plus fees out of the settlement at the time it is awarded and will not take anything out prior to the settlement being paid. You do not have monthly payments to deal with, and no up-front fees. It is not borrowed money, but it's your entitled money that is coming to you in the future. It is being advanced to you while you are waiting for your settlement, like a cash advance against an asset.
Unlike a conventional bank loan, a lawsuit advance is at no risk to the client. As an added benefit - if for some reason the lawsuit or insurance case doesn't win (and each case is scrutinized to make certain it is strong before being funded), you need not pay back the advance - this is called non-recourse funding (all the risk is on the funder).
As long as your lawsuit looks strong to win, that is the only "collateral" that is needed to back the advance on your settlement. Your credit report and rating is not a factor in advancing you the funding - it does not set up an interest rate or deny you funding (unless it shows you have a bankruptcy situation that might jeopardize your advance being paid back).
Easy Process, No Risk, Low Fees - to get you a cash advance while you are waiting for your settlement. We want the scales of justice to lean your way. We offer you time to fight your case, by giving you the means to pay your bills while you work on your case.
No more asking relatives for money (to pay off credit bills, make house payments, etc.) to get you through bad financial times. If you need an advance on your pending (or settled) lawsuit or insurance case, be sure to look into getting funded for your settlement. It can make a difference between your financial health and your relationship with family and friends.

[4]at a good time, none of us knew how much it was needed until after she had received it. I have not heard how things are with her since then she does not say much unless necessary when we try to help her over a hard place until supplies come I will try to let you know how things go with her. The rest of us are all very comfortable, with good food, warm clothing, and plenty of wood to keep the fires going. I am sure we have much to be thankful for. Your kind thought of us all is very comforting for we feel that if a horrid time should come your hand is every ready to help.I saw Hiram yesterday and sent out your New Years[5]gift to Anna and Kenneth.She has not been well, and has not been here for some time. I went out to their place in the fall and staid nearly three weeks I always enjoy going into the contry for a while. The neighborhood is greatly changed since we lived there. It is ten years past last September since we left the old place. I enjoyed your letter very much, we were so glad to hear of you all. I pray every day that the Lord may bless you all and give to each one just what they need the most.With love to all I amAffectionatelySarah01916
