Creditors That Help With Bad Credit For Auto Loans: 5 Steps To Getting Funded Author: Jan 09

By Susan Willis

Does this situation sound familiar? You are someone who is trustworthy. You have never missed an auto loan payment. You have spent most of your adult life employed. And you are generally a very good person, if you do say so yourself. However, there is one chink in the armor: you have a bad credit score.

Given this type of background, despite all of your very positive traits, shopping for an auto loan can be a real challenge. You see, that “bad credit score” part really does make a big difference to the vast majority of creditors out there. When they see a FICO score below 600, they will consider it to be a sign of someone who is not responsible with their money.

And sure, the credit scoring system does have some merit: you don’t get a bad score for nothing. But, when it comes to buying a car, your car itself acts as a form of collateral for the loan. And, the title is actually held by the would-be lender until you pay it off. So, what’s the big risk for them, right?

Fortunately, there are a handful of creditors out there who would fully agree with you. They actually base their business on helping credit-challenged people to get their auto loans funded. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to find these creditors so that you could get funded?

If you are looking for creditors that help with bad credit auto loans, here are 5 steps to getting funded with a new loan:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RwE-Gw_E-s[/youtube]

1. Get to know what bad credit auto lenders look for in a borrower:

While bad credit auto lenders do not look past your credit score completely, they are different from traditional lenders in that they take it your score account only as one of many potentially-important factors in your overall picture of credit-worthiness. They also look at other aspects of your financial and personal history, such as your employment history, your history with other car loans, and the reasons why your credit score is not stellar.

2. Fix any errors that show up on your credit report:

Next, run your credit reports (from all 3 agencies) and figure out which items that show up there are actually misreported items or errors. Then, protest in writing each error you find. The errors will be removed in a timely manner, provided you did a thorough job of showing that they were errors.

3. Find a local bad credit lender and buddy up to them:

If you know of any, introduce yourself to a local bad credit lender in your area. Show them your credit report and ask them which items, if any, would be red flags to another lender. Then, find a way to truthfully explain each one, but painting yourself in the best-possible light. This is great rehearsal for when you start applying for auto loans (see below).

4. Prepare your documents:

Prepare any documentation you can get your hands on concerning your own employment history, residential history, personal references and other personal details. You may need to use these items in a pinch.

5. Apply to as many lenders as you can:

Now, it is time to apply. Find an online resource that gives you access to multiple bad credit lenders. Then, apply to as many as you can. Hint: apply to all of them within a short time period, such a few days. This will help you avoid any negative effects that the multiple credit reports that are run will have on your score.

To find creditors that help with bad credit for auto loans, follow these 5 steps to getting funded.

Teen broadcasts suicide online
 Author: Jan 08

Sunday, November 23, 2008

A Pembroke Pines, Florida teenager killed himself Wednesday, November 19, while broadcasting on the live video site Justin.tv. After making suicide threats and being encouraged by Justin.tv viewers and Bodybuilding.com forum members, Abraham K. Biggs, 19, committed suicide by taking an overdose of opiates and benzodiazepine, which had been prescribed for his bipolar disorder.

Biggs first began blogging about his planned suicide 12 hours before the actual event. He died after taking pills and lying on the bed in front of the webcam. After the broadcast, viewers who apparently thought it was a hoax posted messages such as “OMG”, “LOL”, and “hahahah”.

Hours later, after being alerted by viewers who had noticed that Biggs had stopped breathing, law enforcement and paramedics arrived, discovered his body, and covered the camera. The Broward County Medical Examiner’s Office has reportedly confirmed Biggs’ death.

According to Montana Miller of the Bowling Green State University, the circumstances of this case were not shocking: “If it’s not recorded or documented, then it doesn’t even seem worthwhile. For today’s generation it might seem, ‘What’s the point of doing it if everyone isn’t going to see it?'”

Biggs’ sister Rosalind was angry that neither the website nor its viewers reacted soon enough to save him. “They got hits, they got viewers, nothing happened for hours,” she said. She described him as “very happy” and “friendly and outgoing.” “On a normal day, you couldn’t really tell that he got as low as he did.” However, he did have relationship problems with his girlfriend, according to a friend.

Mental health professionals have warned about the possibility that other mentally troubled people would copy his actions. According to Dr. David Shaffer of Columbia University, “Any video showing it as heroic or romantic or glamorous could reduce the anxiety people might feel about suicide. It becomes a respectable behavior and lowers the threshold of suicide.” He and other psychiatrists recommend that potentially suicidal teens talk to others and “tell what’s going on.”

Oakland, California record release party catches fire
 Author: Jan 06

Sunday, December 4, 2016

A fire broke out at a record release party in Oakland, California late on Friday night. Nine were confirmed dead the following morning with the death toll rising to 24 the next day.

The warehouse, known as Ghost Ship, was hosting a party for the release of the newest album by Joel “Golden Donna” Shanahan. It is in Oakland’s Fruitvale neighborhood, a mix of commercial and residential buildings nestled together. The structure is one block away from Fire Station No. 13 and at least 55 firefighters spent four hours containing and stopping the fire which began at approximately 11:30 p.m.

Firefighters and police cordoned off the block to spectators. The two-story, mixed-use structure also housed the artist collective Satya Yuga who hosted the show and is being searched by firefighters. Out of approximately 50 attendees, at least 25 were declared missing. Shanahan was among the survivors.

Efforts to rescue partygoers were compounded by the roof caving in during the inferno as well as the stacks of furniture, art pieces, and supplies which turned into obstacles for first responders.

Oakland mayor Libby Schaaf:

Quote
Last night’s fire was an immense tragedy. I am grateful to our first responders for their efforts to deal with this deadly fire. Our focus right now is on the victims and their families and ensuring that we have a full accounting for everyone who was impacted by this tragedy. We are fully committed to sharing as much information as we can as quickly as possible.

The structure is owned by Chor N. Ng, who is also the proprietor of several other buildings in the East Bay. On November 13 Ng was cited by the city for having stacks of garbage in and around the warehouse. Most fatalities were reported to have occurred in the upstairs portion of the building where escape was hampered by unstable stairs and miscellaneous art pieces lying in the way. The building lacked any smoke detectors and sprinklers; fire extinguishers were found outside of the premises.

Personalized Stationery Why It Is Important For A Start Up Business Author: Jan 04

By Thomson Chemmanoor

Nowadays, everyone prefers to use electronic and telephonic correspondence in the form of an email or a phone call as it is very convenient for sending messages. This is a quick, fast and easy means of communication; but it is rather impersonal and lacks the appeal of a personalized letter. So, with the intention of using personalized stationery to give a personal appeal to one’s business, the internet has revitalized the concept of personalized stationery.

The importance of personalized stationery for a start up business should never be underestimated. This is because we use all sorts of stationery to serve different purposes in the business, ranging from personal notes to corporate business cards. Personalized business stationery in fact includes business cards of the business, envelopes, letterheads, signs, external business forms like invoices, receipts and purchase orders, internal business forms like inventory forms, pull orders, memos and supply requests, thank you note cards, place cards, sympathy cards and gift tag stickers. We hand over this stationery to prospective clients for many purposes every working day, like for placing orders, introductions, and maybe for pure correspondence. So this stationery should always look attractive as it is the stationery that is representing us, and giving the client an idea of who we are. The stationery can in fact, be termed a great marketing tool while giving us our own unique identity which is both distinct, and one-of-a-kind.

You can use personalized stationery for both your start-up business usage or for your own usage, and thus reap the advantages of letting the recipient of your letter or card feel more special and appreciated. It is through the personalized stationery that the receiver of the stationery believes that you remembered him, and that he is thought of more than just another face in the crowd. So if you do plan to make some personalized stationery, there are hundreds of companies, both online and offline, that offer personalized stationery at inexpensive and affordable rates. They usually print also personalized cards for businesses, special occasions, anniversaries, weddings and other celebrations as well, besides your simple business letter heads and envelopes.

It is through personalized stationery that a small start up business reflects what their organization is all about, its value and standards. In fact, through personalized office stationery, you can very well make your corporate identity a unique brand. Not only does personalized stationery identify you in the market place; it also gives the business a chance to promote itself by using the right colors, fonts and quality of paper in the personalized stationery.

Personalized stationery is comparatively expensive to stationery that is designed using templates. However, it is worth investing this extra money in the stationery as they help to express and advertise your business in a unique manner. With the copyright feature of the company logo, one can also enable the company to exclusively promote their stationery to the general public and other business industries, with this logo. The basic cost of the stationery is dependant on a few factors like the quantity of stationery required, because the more you order, the more discount you get. The cost for the stationery is more if you use up-to-date software that produces high quality designs and templates for the personalized stationery. Of course, hiring a designer to print the stationery too increases the cost for printing the stationery. However, although a highly experienced designer costs more, they can very well produce eye-catching stationery for you. And of course, the actual printing of the personalized stationery also has different costs associated with it. The type of print used, and its quality determines the cost of the stationery.

So for most start-up businesses, the cost of personalized stationery, and it’s benefits go hand in hand to create a feasible and manageable importance amongst them.

Fiddle Legend Vassar Clements dead at 77
 Author: Jan 01

Wednesday, August 17, 2005

Vassar Clements, age 77, a legendary fiddle player who took bluegrass music from an obscure cultural art form to a mainstream influence, and who played on over 2000 albums, passed away at his Goodlettsville, Tennessee home August 16th 2005 at 8:35 am Nashville time (CST) from lung cancer which had metastasized to his liver and brain.

Mr. Clements taught himself to play the fiddle at age 7, and though he had no formal training was recognized as one of the world’s most versatile fiddle players and was considered a virtuoso. The first song he learned was “There’s an Old Spinning Wheel in the Parlor”. He described his talent saying, “It was God’s gift, something born in me. I was too dumb to learn it any other way. I listened to the (Grand Ole) Opry some. I’d pick it up one note at a time. I was young, with plenty of time and I didn’t give up. You’d come home from school, do your lessons and that’s it. No other distractions. I don’t read music. I play what I hear.”

He didn’t always earn his living playing music, though. In the mid-1960s he was employed briefly at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where he worked on plumbing. He also performed several other blue-collar jobs including work in a Georgia paper mill, as switchman for Atlantic Coast Railroad; he even sold insurance and once owned a potato chip franchise.

In his 50 year career he played with artists ranging from Woody Herman, and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band to The Grateful Dead, Linda Ronstadt and Paul McCartney, and earned at least five Grammy nominations and numerous professional accolades. He once recorded with the pop group the Monkees by happenstance, when he stayed behind after an earlier recording session. He also appeared in Robert Altman‘s 1975 film “Nashville”.

His 2005 Grammy award for best country instrumental performance was for “Earl’s Breakdown,” by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and featured Mr. Clements, Earl Scruggs, Randy Scruggs and Jerry Douglas.

Mr. Clements, whose last performance was February 4 in Jamestown, N.Y., was hospitalized earlier this year for 18 days to receive chemotherapy and other treatment. He had been diagnosed in March 2005.

Born in Kinard, South Carolina, his musical career began at age 14 when he associated with Bill Monroe, and later officially joined the Blue Grass Boys band where he remained for seven years. In 1957 he joined bluegrass band Jim & Jesse McReynolds where he remained until 1962. In 1967 he returned to Nashville where he became a much sought after studio musician.

After a brief touring stint with Faron Young he joined John Hartford‘s Dobrolic Plectral Society in 1971 when he met guitarist Norman Blake and Dobro player Tut Taylor, and recorded Aereo Plain, a widely acclaimed newgrass album that helped broaden the bluegrass market and sound. After less than a year he joined Earl Scruggs, who first earned widespread renown for playing the theme to sitcom The Beverly Hillbillies.

His 1972 work with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on their album Will the Circle Be Unbroken earned him even wider acclaim, and later worked with the Grateful Dead’s Wake of the Flood and Jimmy Buffett‘s A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean.

Though he played numerous instruments, Mr. Clements indicated that he chose the fiddle over guitar recalling that, “I picked up a guitar and fiddle and tried them both out. The guitar was pretty easy, but I couldn’t get nothing out of the fiddle. So every time I’d see those instruments sitting side by side, I’d grab that fiddle.”

Big band and swing music were considerable influences upon his style and musical development, and he said that, “Bands like Glenn Miller, Les Brown, Tommy Dorsey, Harry James and Artie Shaw were very popular when I was a kid. I always loved rhythm, so I guess in the back of my mind the swing and jazz subconsciously comes out when I play, because when I was learning I was always trying to emulate the big-band sounds I heard on my fiddle.”

His last album ‘Livin’ With the Blues’, released in 2004, featured guest appearances by Elvin Bishop, Norton Buffalo, Maria Muldaur and others.

Mr. Clements’ daughter Midge Cranor wrote on his website [1] that “As I was still holding his hand his breathing stopped. I looked at the clock and it was 7:20 am.”

Mr. Clements’ remains have been transported to Bond Memorial Chapel, 1098 Weston Drive, Mt. Juliet, TN 37122; (615) 773-2663.

Interview: Drupal founder Dries Buytaert balances community and company interests
 Author: Dec 28

Sunday, February 24, 2008

In the year 2000, Dries Buytaert created Drupal, a freely licensed and open source tool to manage websites, as a bulletin board for his college dorm. Since Dries released the software and a community of thousands of volunteer developers have added and improved modules, Drupal has grown immensely popular. Drupal won the overall Open CMS Award in 2007, and some speakers in Drupal’s spacious developer’s room at FOSDEM 2008 were dreaming aloud of its world domination.

Buytaert (now 29) just finished his doctoral thesis and has founded the start-up Acquia. The new company wants to become Drupal’s best friend, with the help of an all-star team and US$7 million collected from venture capitalists. Wikinews reporter Michaël Laurent sat down with Dries in Brussels to discuss these recent exciting developments.

Why Is The Consulting Industry Going Digital? Author: Dec 27

A consultant examines existing difficulties in a plan and proposes better alternatives by combining specialist knowledge and skills from several fields. Expert opinions and consultations have long been in high demand across a wide range of fields. Enterprises have been engaging consulting companies to receive external counsel or specialized knowledge in a variety of areas, including product development, operations, finance, marketing, human resource management, and the adoption of certain tools and technology, for example. General Consulting Marketplaces bring together consultants and services from a variety of industries. Not every consultant has their area of expertise. Some people create consulting markets where they hire other specialists to provide services to the marketplace’s customers.Why is the Consulting Industry Going Digital?Launching an internet consultation business is easier than starting a traditional consulting firm. It is feasible to establish an online consulting business on the move using basic tools and software solutions. The following tools can provide you with several advantages:• Live online communication: Any consulting service’s key driver is effective communication. By launching an online consulting service, you get access to contemporary communication channels that allow you and your customer to maintain a constant relationship.• Effective time management: Regardless of how legitimate the justifications are, no consultation company can succeed without both sides’ full dedication, which necessitates more effective time management, which is typically simple when using an online consultation platform. Calendar and event management solutions that are integrated can track, manage, and send an email, push alerts, and SMS reminders to the appropriate parties regarding planned appointments. It guarantees that no one misses the online meetings, which can be accessed from any location at any time.• Streamlined payment process: Whether you offer traditional or online consultations, you must charge your clients for the service. Clients may postpone payments or just refuse to pay after the consultation, which is a more chronic issue with any firm. That’s where an online consultation platform may help you place your services behind a paywall and build a solid workflow with a simple payment method. An online platform can handle everything from advance payments to automated invoicing, business payment plans, online payment processing, and balance payment reminders without the need for personal involvement.• Consolidated client management: Any consulting firm must have a thorough understanding of its clients. You may expect to receive more clients from all around the world if you offer online consulting. As a result, you’ll need a centralized data gathering and client management system to have a better understanding of your customers.• Easy accounting: Every firm, regardless of its type, must pay taxes. It becomes easier to maintain your accounting and taxes when your organization is simplified and transactions and invoices are processed digitally. Within any time range, the online consultation software can track and manage transactions as well as provide a complete audit of profits and payables. Furthermore, other accounting and tax administration applications may be integrated for more comprehensive data collecting and accounting.
