17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
The Message Of The Cross
No person on this earth has ever been saved, but through the blood of Jesus. Only because of what He did for us on the cross, does it make it possible to be redeemed and have our sins forgiven. Continue Reading

Looking at Women
|Scott Russell Sanders
|Indiana University Press
On that sizzling July afternoon, the girl who crossed at the stoplight in front of our car looked, as my mother would say, as though she had been poured into her pink shorts. The girl's matching pink halter bared her stomach and clung to her nubbin breasts, leaving little to the imagination, as my mother would also say. Until that moment, it had never made any difference to me how much or little a girl's clothing revealed, for my imagination had been entirely devoted to other mysteries. I was eleven. The girl was about fourteen, the age of my buddy Norman who lounged in the back seat with me. Staring after her, Norman elbowed me in the ribs and murmured, "Check out that chassis."
His mother glared around from the driver's seat. "Hush your mouth."
"I was talking about that sweet Chevy," said Norman, pointing out a souped-up jalopy at the curb.
"I know what you were talking about," his mother snapped.
No doubt she did know, since mothers could read minds, but at first I myself did not have a clue. Chassis? I knew what it meant for a car, an airplane, a radio, or even a cannon to have a chassis. But could a girl have one as well? I glanced after the retreating figure, and suddenly noticed with a sympathetic twitching in my belly the way her long raven ponytail swayed in rhythm to her walk and the way her fanny jostled in those pink shorts. In July's dazzle of sun, her swinging legs and arms beamed at me a semaphore I could almost read.See All Chapters
Appendix: Some Practical Points
|Felicitas D. Goodman
|Indiana University Press
—If you would like to try any of the postures I have described, you will need rhythmic stimulation. With some practice, you can record a tape for yourself, using either a drum or a rattle. The beat should be even and rather fast. Mine is timed at 200–210 beats per minute, and one session should last about fifteen minutes.
—Familiarize yourself with the posture first, then do a breathing exercise. It consists of fifty light, normal, complete breaths, with inhaling, exhaling, and pause constituting one breath unit. At the conclusion of this exercise, assume the posture once more, close your eyes, and start listening to the beat of the instrument. After a while, you may no longer hear the soundtrack. Do not worry about it. Your nervous system registers it anyway, although out of awareness. If you try to get back to the sound, you may interrupt your vision.
—As soon as the soundtrack stops, and provided you are clinically healthy, you will return to ordinary consciousness. Once in a great while a person does not manage this transition well. For this reason, a beginner should always have a companion. If the companion notices that the trancer does not come to right away, the first thing to do is to call his/her name. Gently releasing the trancer's posture is also a good strategy, and providing a glass of water will help, too. As the group leader, you will occasionally go into a light trance yourself. One of my participants told that as she was rattling, her Indian spirit friend appeared before her and rattled along with her.See All Chapters
Chapter 6: The Multiple Personality Experience and Demonic Possession
|Felicitas D. Goodman
|Indiana University Press
The multiple personality experience or "disorder" is not usually covered in discussions of demonic possession. That is regrettable, for as we saw in chapter 1, there is a lot that it can teach us about possession, and it also offers some insights into its demonic variant. Perhaps because the multiple personality syndrome is relatively rare, authors of texts on comparative religion are usually not even aware of its existence and would disregard it anyhow, because of the prevailing view that it is exclusively a psychiatric problem.1
Briefly, as will be remembered from chapter 1 and the case of Eve White, patients suffering from this condition experience themselves as having several discrete personalities called alternates that do not share consciousness or memories with their host. That means that the host does not know or is not able to recall what the various alternate personalities do, and extended periods of amnesia, often starting during childhood, are characteristically reported by these patients. Each one of the alternates has its own complex social patterns and behavior. When a given personality is dominant, it will control the individual's behavior. As should be obvious by now, this description could just as well be cited in any discussion of the experience of possession. There are, however, in the main two differences between this disorder and possession as a religious experience. One of these concerns how the phenomenon is located culturally, that is, what society, especially those charged with treating the patient, thinks is going on. The other is the nature of the beings involved in the possession.See All Chapters
Staying Put
|Scott Russell Sanders
|Indiana University Press
Two friends arrived at our house for supper one May evening along with the first rumblings of thunder. As my wife, Ruth, and I sat talking with them on our front porch, we had to keep raising our voices a notch to make ourselves heard above the gathering storm. The birds, more discreet, had already hushed. The huge elm beside our door began to sway, limbs creaking, leaves hissing. Black sponges of clouds blotted up the light, fooling the street lamps into coming on early. Above the trees and rooftops, the murky southern sky crackled with lightning. Now and again we heard the pop of a transformer as a bolt struck the power lines in our neighborhood. The pulses of thunder came faster and faster, until they merged into a continuous roar.
We gave up on talking. The four of us, all midwesterners teethed on thunderstorms, sat down there on the porch to our meal of lentil soup, cheddar cheese, bread warm from the oven, sliced apples and strawberries. We were lifting the first spoonfuls to our mouths when a stroke of lightning burst so nearby that it seemed to suck away the air, and the lights flickered out, plunging the whole street into darkness.See All Chapters
Chapter 7. The Agriculturalists
|Felicitas D. Goodman
|Indiana University Press
The Agriculturalists as State Societies
The agriculturalist has assured subsistence. All good things come to him, as we read in the Popol Vub, as a blessing from the "House on the Pyramids," from agencies "on high." But in order to have them, he has to work hard, earning his daily bread "by the sweat of his brow." To pay for those good things, all members of the group have to be drafted into a continued and sustained effort. There is no room anymore, as the Popol Vuh tells it, for the venturesome and the proud. What the tillers need to inculcate in their young is conscientiousness, compliance, humility, and obedience.
With permanent settlements, agriculturalists can no longer avoid the problems of conflict by picking up and leaving: Conflict resolution, in other words, cannot be brought about by fissioning. Chiefly, authority comes into being as one avenue of solution. There is more personal property, and the concept also intrudes into the position of women. A man wants exclusive rights to his spouse, and his elevated status leads not only to her eventual disenfranchisement, but also to her ritual inferiority.See All Chapters
Chapter 3: Healing in Umbanda
|Felicitas D. Goodman
|Indiana University Press
Continuing with our review of positive spirit possession, we want to treat Umbanda next. This Brazilian religion has a complex history, with its roots reaching back into Africa, Europe, and Indian America. The sugar plantations in the northeastern part of Brazil employed African slaves in the sixteenth century. They brought with them their own religious observances from Dahomey, the Congo, and Angola. They also carried along the Yoruba tradition, a syncretic form of which evolved into Haitian vodun, which we touched on in chapter 1. Gradually, beliefs concerning the Catholic saints of the plantation owners and the African gods began to overlap; they became syncretized. When in 1888 the slaves were emancipated in Brazil, they began moving south, into the cities that offered jobs in their developing industries. Once there, the Afro-Brazilians started cult centers for the practice of their various religions. These were already syncretic, some even incorporating American Indian traits. But they varied according to which of the African traditions was predominant.See All Chapters
Honoring the Ordinary
|Scott Russell Sanders
|Indiana University Press
For years, I could ignore the charges raised against the memoir, just as I could ignore the charges raised against burglary, because I had no intention of committing either offense. But then the circumstances of my life and the sad state of my country prompted me to write a book called A Private History of Awe, which I thought of as an extended essay about my lifelong spiritual search, but which my editor informed me was, indeed, a memoir. When the book was published in 2006, it bore that label on the jacket for all to see. And so, having joined the suspect company of memoirists, I began to take a personal interest in the accusations leveled against this literary form.
The most common accusations often appear in the guise of two blunt questions: How could you write a whole book about yourself? And how much of it did you make up? The questioners assume that a memoir must be an exercise in narcissism, and that it is likely to be dishonest to boot. One can easily find published examples that would justify either suspicion. There has never been a shortage of egotists or frauds, so it's no wonder that some of them compose and peddle books. Although these two human failings often go together, for the sake of clarity I'm going to separate them, speaking first about the dangers of deceit and then about the dangers of narcissism.See All Chapters

In morning mist on a northern river, a slab of stone tumbled from a boulder into the water, where it came to life and floated, turning into a sleek black head that swam in circles dragging a V of ripples behind it. A beaver, I thought, as I watched from shore. But no sooner had I named it than the creature bobbed up and then dove, exposing a long neck and humped back and pointed tail. Not a beaver, I realized, but an otter. I was pleased to find a label for this animate scrap, as though by pinning the right word on the shape-shifter I could hold it still.
Presently a second otter, then a third and fourth broke free of the boulder and slithered down into the mercury sheen of the river. They dove without a splash, their tails flipping up to gleam like wands in the early sunlight, and they surfaced so buoyantly that their forepaws and narrow shoulders lifted well out of the water. Then one after another they clambered back onto the rock and dove again, over and over, like tireless children taking turns on a playground slide.See All Chapters
Coyote Comes Calling
|Felicitas D. Goodman
|Indiana University Press
As told by the Navajo singers, the religious specialists who are the guardians of Navajo oral literature, Coyote is the child of the sky but was born from the embrace of the sky with the earth. It seems that one day, the people saw the sky swooping down:
It seemed to want to embrace the earth. And they saw the earth likewise looming up as if to meet the sky.
For a moment they came in contact. The sky touched the earth and the earth touched the sky. And just then, at exactly the spot where the sky and the earth had met, Ma'ii the Coyote sprang out of the ground. (Zolbrod 1984:56)
Thus in his parentage, Coyote bridges the earth and the sky, the ordinary and the alternate reality. But something else also entered into his makeup, for his birth happened at the same time the elders were involved in an important ritual. They were giving a penis to a boy who had come of age, and a vagina to a girl who had come of age, which they had not had before. Coyote went to where the people were, and meddler that he was and fascinated by sex obviously from the time he sprang from the ground, he decided to make the young people even more beautiful than having a penis and a vagina made them. And so he blew some of his own facial hair in such a way that it landed between their legs. However, First Woman, in charge of uncontrolled impulses, was worried that now the young people had become too attractive to each other, and so she ordered that they cover themselves.See All Chapters
Eight: The Seventh Limb: Meditation (Dhyana)

If we know the divine art of concentration,
Sri Chinmoy
Before meeting with potential donors, Steve spends a few minutes in meditation, concluding with an intention that helps him connect to purpose:
May [this person] be happy and peaceful
Steve, the physician/fundraiser at a major west coast university medical center, is charged with raising money to support the goals of the institution—at least on paper. But he likes to turn that description on its head. He considers himself an advocate for donors and in service to connecting the donors' passions and motivations to the needs of the institution.
One of the things meditation practice does for him is remind him that the focus of his work is not the transaction, but building relationships. "When I am able to quiet myself and turn my focus toward understanding and advocating for the donor, I know I am not going to take actions that are coercive or manipulative. The meditation has been a way to bring the potential donor to the front of my mind. I can think about their needs instead of 'How do I get them to do something I want them to do?' Using manipulative selling techniques may get you something in the moment, but it won't get you a lasting relationship."See All Chapters
3 The Path of Water
|Foundation, Anasazi
|Berrett-Koehler Publishers
I escaped the land of winding cliffs to the south.
From that day, I no longer ran from my people
Days passed into months and months into years.
I grew into manhood without the companionship of
The hills and the valleys raised me.
Then, as well as now, in my daily walking, I have sought
Where will I find water?
Think about water for a moment.
Have you ever considered all it does for us?
I have learned to walk near water, for beside it the earth
I try to rest near water,
I bathe in water, for it cleanses and invigorates my skin.
My final destination at the end of each day has been
And when traveling in dry places, each morning

Under the Influence
|Scott Russell Sanders
|Indiana University Press
My father drank. He drank as a gut-punched boxer gasps for breath, as a starving dog gobbles food—compulsively, secretly, in pain and trembling. I use the past tense not because he ever quit drinking but because he quit living. That is how the story ends for my father, age sixty-four, heart bursting, body cooling and forsaken on the linoleum of my brother's trailer. The story continues for my brother, my sister, my mother, and me, and will continue so long as memory holds.
In the perennial present of memory, I slip into the garage or barn to see my father tipping back the flat green bottles of wine, the brown cylinders of whiskey, the cans of beer disguised in paper bags. His Adam's apple bobs, the liquid gurgles, he wipes the sandy-haired back of a hand over his lips, and then, his bloodshot gaze bumping into me, he stashes the bottle or can inside his jacket, under the workbench, between two bales of hay, and we both pretend the moment has not occurred.
"What's up, buddy?" he says, thick-tongued and edgy.See All Chapters
Seven: The Many Faces of Divination
|Felicitas D. Goodman
|Indiana University Press
Divining is as old as humanity. The hunters developed it as a ritual to discover the location of game, a matter of vital importance to them. As other types of societies arose, divination was adapted to the changing circumstances, but it continued to serve important societal goals. It is regrettable that in the Western world divination has been decried as irrational, antirational, or a fraud perpetrated on the ignorant and the superstitious, because divination is not that at all. It is soothsaying, that is, revealing the truth. What the diviner does is uncover to his clients some hidden truth about themselves, or about what is going on around them. There are certainly situations in everyone's life where such insights could be of overriding importance. This is why within and outside the Western orbit, divining continues to play an important role, exposing that which is hidden, soothing anxiety, and aiding in decision making.
In Western-type societies, ours among them, quasi-mechanical means such as tarot cards are frequently employed for "fortunetelling." However, the repository of much of divinatory knowledge is the alternate reality, and access to that treasure trove can best be gained in trance, and in the appropriate posture.See All Chapters
Mind in the Forest
|Scott Russell Sanders
|Indiana University Press
I touch trees, as others might stroke the fenders of automobiles or finger silk I fabrics or fondle cats. Trees do not purr, do not flatter, do not inspire a craving for ownership or power. They stand their ground, immune to merely human urges. Saplings yield under the weight of a hand and then spring back when the hand lifts away, but mature trees accept one's touch without so much as a shiver. While I am drawn to all ages and kinds, from maple sprouts barely tall enough to hold their leaves off the ground to towering sequoias with their crowns wreathed in fog, I am especially drawn to the ancient, battered ones, the survivors.
Recently I spent a week in the company of ancient trees. The season was October and the site was the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest, a 15,800-acre research area defined by the drainage basin of Lookout Creek, within Willamette National Forest, on the western slope of the Cascade Mountains in Oregon. It's a wet place. At higher elevations, annual precipitation averages 140 inches, and even the lower elevations receive 90 inches, twice the amount that falls on my well-watered home region of southern Indiana. Back in Indiana the trees are hardwoods—maples and beeches and oaks, hickories and sycamores—and few are allowed to grow for as long as a century without being felled by ax or saw. Here in Andrews Forest, the ruling trees are Douglas firs, western hemlocks, western red cedars, and Pacific yews, the oldest of them ranging in age from five hundred to eight hundred years, veterans of countless fires, windstorms, landslides, insect infestations, and floods.See All Chapters

CASH Music, Non-Profit Co-Founded by Kristen Hersh, Donita Sparks, Jesse von Doom, Empowers Artists With Digital Tools
By Reggie Ugwu, New York
There's been no shortage of digital services in recent years promising new ways for musicians to connect with fans. As the music industry has flattened, technology has flourished, with new tools for independent and DIY artists sprouting up all the time online and in the App Store. But what are the consequences as startup culture and music culture become more closely intertwined?
One, according to the founders of CASH Music, a nonprofit organization that aims to empower artists to build sustainable careers using digital methods, is that artists suffer from the frequent turnover of flavor-of-the-month technologies. Another is potentially more problematic -- the digital economy, much like the recorded music industry before it, could create permanent friction between the interests of entrepreneurs and the artists who depend on them.
"What I hear from artists is a sense of helplessness," says Maggie Vail, co-executive director of CASH Music and former GM at the independent label Kill Rock Stars. "They feel like they're being left out of the conversation and that all of these decisions are being made without them."
CASH Music was born out of a collaboration between Kristen Herh of the band Throwing Muses, Donita Sparks of L7 and Jesse von Doom, a programmer and graphic designer who had done work for Kill Rock Stars and other independent labels and artists. The company offers free, open-source software that allows artists to make custom websites, collect emails and stream, distribute or sell their own music, among other things. CASH Music clients have included Sleigh Bells, Iron & Wine, Metric and The Lumineers, to name a few.
"Kristen and Donita were saying that they wanted to make music their whole lives and needed a better way forward.," says von Doom. "They were jealous of their friends with 9-to-5 salaries. So we built a custom platform that let fans support Kristen directly with a paid subscription service… After that, we had all these tools that became CASH Music."
Related -- Working Your Art in the Digital Age
Independent artists have thrived with the rise of digital music consumption over the last decade. Merlin, the digital rights organization that represents thousands of small and independent labels internationally, reported in May that 73 percent of its labels saw their revenues increase in 2012, with much of that growth coming from streaming and download activity.
Services like TuneCore, the digital distributor, and TopSpin, the digital marketing platform, have built lucrative businesses by helping artists and labels capitalize on the shift to digital. But Vail and von Doom stress the importance of a free and open-source option for artists. They liken CASH Music to the non-profit web browser Firefox, which helped prevent excessive privatization of Internet access in the '90s.
"We can't be bought and our code can't disappear," says von Doom, noting that CASH has no shareholders to satisfy, instead relying on grants and donations. "We really believe that artists should have an option that connects directly to their own PayPal account and allows them to control all their own data without having someone jumping in the middle."
Part of improving the digital prospects of artists is education -- getting professional musicians to go DIY when DIY means learning Javascript and hosting your own web servers. To that end, Vail, von Doom and their 16-member board of artists began a series of events called CASH Music Summits this past August, bringing artists and technologists together for a series of workshops and hackathons.
CASH Music Summits this year took place in Portland and Los Angeles, and a recently successful Kickstarter campaign will bring them to Atlanta, Chicago, New York and Seattle in 2014.
"We were at a conference in 2012 where there were all these tech and industry people talking about building solutions for artists, but there weren't any artists in the room," says Vail. "We think everyone will benefit when artists and technologists can collaborate in a real way."

While some tools are inherently tricky to sharpen (even with the WS3000), for the ones that can be sharpened are SHARP as EVER! Even gnarly white oak grain cuts so conveniently. Enjoy the WS3000 practically approximately I like to cooper!
I was more than happy with the WorkSharp 3000 with honing the bevel of a chisel, nonetheless I'd A good number of concerns with flattening the backs of scaled-down chisels. Even flattening the back again of the airplane iron, I'd inconsistent results Except I started out the equipment soon after I placed the airplane iron within the wheel and turned the device off in advance of I taken off the airplane iron.
Most homes have various knives so a knife sharpener that may be versatile is most effective – serrated knives require a special sort of sharpening, for instance.
Would like it experienced another slotted see via wheel so I could build a study course and great area. Am planning on shopping for the optional tool bar attachment.
Greatest ANSWER: Prospects have instructed us they've done it efficiently, even so it can be outside of the design intent of this sharpener. Remember to note there are many forms of clipper blades available and our device are not able to sharpen all of these. If you want to to test, it will have to be completed freehand on the top on the abrasive covered glass wheel.
But I am telling you…there is no way in hell you can make a "sharper" edge than this equipment for a bench chisel. It will be the similar, although not sharper and I'll get it done more rapidly!!!
I however use my diamond lapping stone so as to add the microbevel but you really need not. This will it all. Pretty pleased with my purchase!
Here are the simple contest instructions, which is able to introduce you to definitely my awesome new forum for woodworkers who love hand tools (look into the new messaging aspect, so you can correspond with forum buddies):
We are very pleased to offer Work Sharp items. They may be a time analyzed, confirmed good quality identify in sharpening, and devoted to innovation.
A. No. A butcher's metal works to hone knives, not sharpen them. What does this reach? Honing helps you to even out the edge of the blade so you can find the straightest attainable knife edge. When honing, almost nothing is really shaved off within your knife.
The following buy was a Work Sharp 3000. Again, this was a Woodcraft special. I had browse some reviews, together with a person by a highly regarded home furniture maker. He swore by it as not only productive, but quick in his "time is revenue" shop.
Undecided This is able to be the most effective tool to the career but it might work. Work Sharp has other devices the I might Imagine could be improved for that software.
The Work Sharp WS3000 is the sharpening and honing solution for the discerning woodworker and heavy hobbyist who want sharp tools quickly and easily. The WS3000 gives 3 strategies to sharpen your tools: Leading Side with Tool Rest, the Chisel and Plane Iron Port and the Edge-Vision Port.

Work Sharp offers an active air cooled sharpening port with routed air movement and heat sink layout to rapidly and click here easily sharpen you chisels and flat blades without having overheating or detrimental the metal.
A knife sharpener which has a steady foundation makes sure that absolutely nothing will slip outside of spot as a consequence of wobbling. We urge opportunity prospective buyers to prevent knife sharpeners with weak-good quality bases.

That's all it takes! Most people are able to complete the application for an online payday loan within just a few minutes. Lending decisions are made promptly, ensuring you do not have to spend a lot of time wondering and worrying about your approval; if your loan is approved, you could have the funds deposited into your account within just a few hours.
We've partnered with more than 3 million customers over the past 10 years, providing them access to the credit they need to take control of their finances. Those years of experience have helped us better tailor our loans to our customers' needs. Aspects like speed, ease of use and straightforward terms are all key parts of our loans, making for speedy and easy-to-understand loans for people who need cash fast.
We recommend exploring alternatives before getting a payday loan. These are expensive loans with high fees, and they can catch you up in a cycle of taking out new loans to pay off previous ones. Each state regulates payday loans differently – some outright ban them. As such, depending on where you live, the costs vary widely. With this in mind, our pick for the top payday lender is Check Into Cash. It is the most broadly available lender, with stores and online loans available in 32 states. It offers a variety of payday loans, installment loans and lines of credit.
Payday loans (also known as "cash advances") are short-term cash loans directly deposited into your checking account by Cash Central. The length and duration of the loan is, in certain states, limited by law but generally aligns with your next payday whenever possible as a convenience to you. At that time, the loan is generally paid back via an authorized electronic withdrawal from your checking account. Other methods of repayment are possible. Please contact a customer service representative for further assistance.
Need some more clarification on the loan process and what a payday loan will mean for you? Of course you do! We are committed to educating our Customers on our products and are here to help answer any questions you have. Take a look at the list below of our most frequently asked questions. Don't see what you're looking for on this quick list? View the extended FAQ page, give us a call, or hop into a store, and we'll be sure to give you the fast and friendly service you are looking for!
This reinforces the findings of the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) study from 2011 which found black and Hispanic families, recent immigrants, and single parents were more likely to use payday loans. In addition, their reasons for using these products were not as suggested by the payday industry for one time expenses, but to meet normal recurring obligations.[15]
How have Cash America International and the SuperPawn brand been able to grow so quickly into one of the nation's most widely recognized and respected collateralized loan specialists? SuperPawn places an emphasis on making its customers comfortable with its services. Company locations are large and well lit with friendly, knowledgeable loan consultants. SuperPawn was the first company of its kind to institute a training system for all its employees. They can explain the procedure for pawning an item to any first-time borrower. Customers who may not be familiar with the collateralized loan process can also visit the SuperPawn website (http://www.superpawn.com/) for a detailed explanation of what to expect and what they will need to bring with them.
By submitting an application through this site, you agree to its Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy. Residents of Arkansas, Georgia, New York, Oregon, Washington, West Virginia and Vermont are not eligible to apply for a loan. This service is not available in all states, and the states serviced by this site may change from time to time and without notice.
After you have received the funds, you need to refer to the Check Advance Agreement and confirm the due date. The next step is to visit the payments section and set up payments. Payments will be automatically withdrawn from the client's checking account. If you run into trouble, the Mypaydayloan.com staff is there to help you get back on your feet. They will send payment reminders before the payment is due and they will always work with you if you need more time to pay.
A payday loan is a very short-term loan option that you usually repay all at once when you get your next paycheck. About 1 in 8 Oklahomans have taken out a payday loan in the past. Since so many people use this type of small loan, we wanted to know more about payday lenders. We looked at over 300 reviews and researched payday lenders to learn about interest rates, the application process and customer service.
First-time online payday loans applicants can borrow between $200 and $600. Repeat borrowers with positive payment histories can be approved up to $1000. Mypaydayloan.com urges clients to borrow what they need and what they can comfortably pay back with their next paycheck. If you are looking for a small payday loan, please visit our Small Cash Advance Loans page.
Though regulated at the state and federal level, there are still payday lenders that attempt to skirt the rules. Some are online-only lenders based in other countries. Other lenders work around state laws by operating out of Native American reservations. Be wary of brokers that offer to connect you with lending partners – this can result in a lot of calls and emails about offers.
However, there are ways these loans can affect your credit, especially if you can't keep up with your payments. Part of getting a payday loan involves leaving a post-dated check, or giving the lender access to your checking account if you apply online. When the loan comes due, the lender deposits the check or withdraws what you owe. If you don't have enough in your account to cover the amount you owe, you could bounce a check or overdraw your account.
PayActiv is one such company, and it has partnered with a variety of employers, including Walmart. It integrates with the employer's payroll, and employees can withdraw money directly into their checking accounts for a $5 fee. Earnin, which used to be known as Activehours, is a similar program. If your employer uses it, you can withdraw between $100 and $500 per pay period. There are no fees for using Earnin, but there is an option to tip.
Payday loans are meant to give you access to money short term, until you get your next paycheck. Reasons for getting a payday loan range from unexpected expenses to working irregular hours at your job. But more often than you'd think, these loans don't get paid off after two weeks and need to be rolled over into another loan. If you can, avoid doing this – it can result in you being stuck in a cycle of debt, and you'll end up paying much more in fees than the amount you borrowed.
In 2014 several firms were reprimanded and required to pay compensation for illegal practices; Wonga.com for using letters untruthfully purporting to be from solicitors to demand payment—a formal police investigation for fraud was being considered in 2014[61]—and Cash Genie, owned by multinational EZCorp, for a string of problems with the way it had imposed charges and collected money from borrowers who were in arrears.[62]
How long does it take to process the loan? Some of the best short-term loans ensure that you have access to the approved funds the following business day. A limited number of lenders provide prepaid debit card loans which can give you access to funds quickly after approval by transferring the amount to your eligible card. You can then use the money anytime and anywhere.
NOTICE: The Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits creditors from discriminating against credit applicants on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age (provided the applicant has the capacity to enter into a binding contract); because all or part of the applicant's income derives from any public assistance program; or because the applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act. The Federal agency that administers compliance with this law concerning this creditor is the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 1700 G Street NW, Washington DC 20006 and the Federal Trade Commission, Equal Credit Opportunity, Washington DC 20580.
You'll have to repay the loan on your next payday, which can be up to 30 days from the date you get the loan. Most lenders require your bank account information so they can debit the repayment amount directly on the given due date. If you apply in-store, you can provide a post-dated check at the time of application. Some lenders allow you to make early repayments via credit cards, MoneyGram and Western Union.
*Approval depends upon meeting legal, regulatory and underwriting requirements. If approved, online loans are funded the next business day. All times and dates are based on Eastern Standard Time (EST). Check `n Go and third party lenders may, at their discretion, verify application information by using national databases that may provide information from one or more national credit bureaus, and Check `n Go or third party lenders may take that into consideration in the approval process.
That's all it takes! Most people are able to complete the application for an online payday loan within just a few minutes. Lending decisions are made promptly, ensuring you do not have to spend a lot of time wondering and worrying about your approval; if your loan is approved, you could have the funds deposited into your account within just a few hours.

Instead, we facilitate business relationships between consumers like you and the lenders in our network.

There's always a big debate about which type of bad credit loan is best and it always boils down to signature loans vs payday loans. Allow us to set the record straight once and for all to definitively say that signature loans are better than payday loans and given the option, you should always choose a signature loan. Even shopping around for an online payday loan won't find you a better deal. You can take us at our word, which is backed up by 20+ years of experience in the lending industry, but let us prove why our online signature loans are better.
The best way out can depend on where you took out the loan. Laws governing payday loans vary from state to state. Some states, like Colorado, are currently working to change the way payday loans are administered in order to make it easier for customers to pay loans back and avoid the snowball effect of constant loan renewal. Other states require payday lenders to offer borrowers an Extended Payment Plan (EPP), which stops the accrual of fees and interest.
While credit counseling agencies spend their time helping consumers get out of debt, these kinds of loans can present unique challenges. "It's not a traditional loan with set guidelines in terms of how they work with us," explains Fox. In spite of those challenges, there are things a credit counseling agency can do to help you get out of payday loan debt:

People from all walks of life generally use their payday loan for emergency expenses, including doctor bills, utility payments, rent payments, or to avoid bouncing a check (or checks) at their financial institution. The fees associated with a payday loan can often be the most affordable option for a customer who may otherwise encounter NSF fees from the bank or late fees on a credit card.

If an EPP isn't an option, you may want to talk with a credit counseling agency. Credit counseling aims to help consumers better manage their finances, and a number of reputable organizations exist across the country.

Other options are available to most payday loan customers.[77] These include pawnbrokers, credit union loans with lower interest and more stringent terms which take longer to gain approval,[78] employee access to earned but unpaid wages,[79][80][81][82][83][84] credit payment plans, paycheck cash advances from employers ("advance on salary"), auto pawn loans, bank overdraft protection, cash advances from credit cards, emergency community assistance plans, small consumer loans, installment loans and direct loans from family or friends. The Pew Charitable Trusts found in 2013 their study on the ways in which users pay off payday loans that borrowers often took a payday loan to avoid one of these alternatives, only to turn to one of them to pay off the payday loan.[85]
Brian Melzer of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University found that payday loan users did suffer a reduction in their household financial situation, as the high costs of repeated rollover loans impacted their ability to pay recurring bills such as utilities and rent.[46] This assumes a payday user will rollover their loan rather than repay it, which has been shown both by the FDIC and the Consumer Finance Protection bureau in large sample studies of payday consumers [11][15][47]

Every state regulates payday loans differently. In some states, including Georgia, they are banned outright. In other states, interest rates are capped to such an extent that they are essentially banned. In total, 18 states ban payday loans. Other states, such as Oregon, have some restrictions in place, but payday lenders still operate in them. Payday loans come with few restrictions in 32 states. Any restrictions in these states tend to focus on the maximum number of loans someone can take out and not on rates.
Some payday loan companies gather your personal information and then shop around for a lender. That means your information could go out to third parties as part of the lending process. Other companies will even sell contact information, leaving you dealing with sales calls and spam emails. LendUp protects customer information and will never sell it.
Payday loans have been in the news a lot recently, but not all short-term loans carry the same risks. LendUp Loans are an alternative to traditional payday loans from a licensed lender.

Many times when I announce that Literacy Center time is over, I hear this groan of disappointment. I always assumed this was coming from my keen students but my weaker students were secretly rejoicing. The other day I experienced a very pleasant surprise when one of my weakest students demanded an explanation as to why we missed Literacy Centers that day (due to graduation photos and baking bread). He was really upset about it and the other students started expressing their disappointment as well. It was the kind of response you would expect when the class misses gym or outdoor recess. Wow, was this ever a positive and uplifting surprise for me. I asked what their favorite centers were and I have outlined a few of them below.
Hottest Literacy Center Now
I just introduced this new Center and it received unanimous approval. I purchased one bubblegum machine and one gumball machine (looking at purchasing another one). One machine had the penny insert capability disabled and on the other was enabled. The students preferred the penny enabled activity. I used this activity to review alphabet letter sounds but you could use it for sight word recognition.
Used for Sight Word Recognition – Lucky Rock Sight Word Game
I used decorative rocks in place of gumballs. They work great but they are too small to print sight words on. I would suggest placing a symbol on some rocks (star) and leave the other rocks blank. If the student turns the gear wheel and a rock or rocks dispense that have a symbol on it (lucky rock), then they must say one of the sight words found on their printed gumball template (displayed on the photograph above) and place the lucky rock on it. The object of the game is to see who can cover their gumball template with lucky rocks first.
Note: The template above is found under the heading "Reading-Literacy-Centers" on the member site. Inexpensive rocks can be purchased at numerous Dollar stores.
Used As Alphabet Sound Game
Alphabet letters would be printed on the decorative rocks. This is a partner game but my students expressed that they wanted their own board, I made duplicate copies of each letter (no picture for x). The students turn the gear wheel and place the correct letter that was dispensed on the picture that begins with that sound.
Note: The alphabet board template is found under the heading "Reading-Literacy-Centers" on the member site.
Alphabet or Sight Word Board Games
The partner board games have also been very popular amongst my students. Again, these can be used to practice alphabet/sounds or sight word recognition. I allow my students to choose their partners. Generally, they have been very competent at choosing a partner that is a good fit for them (weaker and stronger).
Alphabet Board Game
Students take a turn at rolling a die and moving their player accordingly along the picture board displayed in the photograph. They must print the letter that represents that sound. The object of the game is to see who can print all their alphabet letters first.
Note: I should have prepared this game so it was circular. My students think that they have won the game once they get to the end of the board (which is natural) so I had to train them to continue on until all the letters have been printed. I hope to make a circular board game at some point.
Sight Word Board Game
This game is played in a similar fashion as the above, but the students must print a set amount of sight words that they land on.
CVC Game
This is another game the students said they really enjoy. However, I have had to modify this game for a couple of my weaker students. My assistant is with them at this game, helping them break down the letter sounds.
Each CVC picture card is placed in a double organized garage container. Once each student has made the word, the picture card is placed in the discarded container to indicate they have already made this word. We generally, play these games for about 8-10 minutes. I do not know where the alphabet letter plates came from as they were already in the classroom when I arrived. The picture cards are found on the member site under "Reading-Literacy Centers".
Rice or Sensory Tub Games
My students still love pulling objects out of the rice tub. The tub is just a larger plastic container filled with rice. We have quite an assortment of objects beginning with each letter of the alphabet, I have placed these in the tub for them to sort or print the correct letter. Larger decorative rocks could be placed in the tub with the sight words printed on them (I have larger clear rocks that I found at the Dollar store that is used for this purpose).
Generally, I change the Literacy Centers each month. I only have four Centers out at a time and we rotate. My assistant, parent helper and I monitor these. It is interesting to note that one of our Literacy Center activities are always computer games and my students never mentioned these as being a favorite. I just have five clunky old computers so this might be part of the reason. I have requested a few iPads for next year (wish list), I think these would be considered more fun.
These are the ones that they mentioned and are the most recent. They have likely forgotten about all the others we played previously.
Let Me Know What Your Favorite Literacy Centers Are?? Love Hearing Your Suggestions!!

It can be difficult to remove your stubborn belly fat overnight. It is more than just a nuisance that makes your clothes feel tight. It is the most stubborn fat in your body and most people struggle hard to burn it off. Your body is going to feel more compelled to binge on high-calorie, high-sugar foods in order to keep your energy level. If you struggle with getting enough protein in your daily diet, then a good protein supplement (such as whey protein) is a healthful and convenient way to improve your overall intake. The aforementioned foods are wholly labeled under Nigerian weight-loss foods.
The trick to getting a level stomach is via following a clean diet and staying active. Just remember that as you give up breastfeeding, you will want to correct your daily caloric intake accordingly in order to prevent putting on weight. Stress is directly associated with cortisol levels and cortisol levels are directly linked to visceral fat and exercise is a significant way to lower stress. You don't need to stick to a strict low-carb diet. Lots of people attempt to get rid of belly fat by eating less or famishing themselves, which isn't in any way a fantastic idea and might bring about several harmful side-effects. Then in the event that you taste your food and still really want salt it is still possible to stand up and find some. Protein has become the most important macronutrient the moment it comes to losing weight (12). The most precise means to decide on how much visceral fat you have is to receive a CT scan or MRI. You need to do workouts that work your entire body at the same time, which means you burn the most amount of calories. It is possible to eliminate tummy fat without exercise and it's just about going back to the fundamentals. Don't permit your upper arms to drop as you do the exercise. Spot reduction exercises aren't a rather effective method to lose your belly fat. With consistent work, you will accomplish a flat belly you will take pride in! You can't get a level stomach in case you have one or the other. When it has to do with the very best exercise to eliminate belly fat, crunches top the list.

Bad Numbers
A reverse telephone lookup of unwanted calls
#4 Product of the DayJuly 16, 2016
Truecaller can do this, and block those already on a spam list. It can also actually help you identify the number as it's calling you
6 UpvotesShare
Just got a call and voicemail from one of the numbers listed on this site. I found it to be a quick and helpful way to verify that the caller's message was BS.
@_jacksmith you're right. Downloading Truecaller now. 😊
Cool! Does it support numbers from other countries too?
Or you can just use Google. Useful service, but not need in this instance as there are many others doing the same job.
@pointandstare The iPhone makes this slow on purpose by not letting you copy a phone number from the Recents list without it tacking on the city to the text, and that ruins a quick Google search. That gives me no time to actually pick up for wanted calls by doing a fast Google search during the first few rings. I wonder if the app collects 800notes.com data for its database. I doubt any do. A ridiculous situation. I'm on Sprint and the claim a couple dollars a month will add real caller ID. I hesitate to even try it. 800notes has the crowd sourced data, which they will most definitely lack.
I think I'll need this. This is cool!
