Ambient location app Highlight is a big deal. Eldon likes it, Scoble likes it, MG and Mike like it and Grindr fan Charlie Cheever likes it. More importantly, I like it. Before you call me out for being slightly narcissistic with the above statement (which wouldn't make me at all unique in my field), here's why the fact that I like it is important; In case you haven't noticed, I am a female, which means I am an indicative use case for an app that forces you to constantly broadcast your location.
Do not pay the full price for anything. Reconsider your brand loyalties, instead favoring products for which you have coupons. For instance, if you regularly purchase a specific brand of detergent, you should start prioritizing other brands if there are coupons available.
Only sign up with a broker that you trust 100%. Check their references, and do not choose someone if you feel they are dishonest or would not act in your best interest. It is also important to be sensible, and have the experience to know when something is not quite right.
Don?t fall for the scam that an organization can guarantee you a clean credit report. A lot of credit repair organizations will make broad, general statements about what they can do for you to clean up your credit. Everyone?s credit situation is different, so to say they have the one trick to remedy all credit issues is obviously a lie. As such, 100% guaranteed results are straight-up fraud.
Keep track of your monthly expenses and create a budget using those records. You can then identify areas of your budget where you are overspending. If you don?t, you will find yourself in financial ruin no matter how big your income is. One good way to track your spending is with software or online tools. When you find you excess money, you may be tempted to celebrate. It is more effective to use left over money to pay down existing debt or make a saving account deposit rather than a night out on the town.
Sit down and put your expenses into categories. Establish two categories? one for the fixed expenses, such as your rent or your monthly car payments, and the other for your variable expenses. Your necessary expenses will serve as the foundation for your budget. Focusing on your necessary expenses will make other budgeting goals more accessible.
Having a savings account into which you regularly deposit money will help you achieve financial stability. The savings money should only be used for emergencies, college costs or major expenses, like a down payment on a house. Even if you can?t afford to put too much money in there every month, save as much as you can.
Keeping a tidy house is a good thing, but tossing or selling old possessions without making at least a minimum effort to ascertain their real value can be a costly mistake. When you sell a vintage item, you may gain some personal wealth.
Online websites often have coupons available that cannot be found in traditional sources, such as newspapers and fliers. Online coupons are a good tool to add to your toolbox when you?re working on improving your financial situation.
You can also save money by eating at home and not eating out to improve your finances. You can feed four people a satisfying and healthy dinner for no more than 30 dollars. If you order pizza, two of them with a 2-liter of pop will cost more than cooking at home these days.
Even if you have a solid financial plan and budget, money problems can still occur unexpectedly throughout the year. It is always a smart idea to learn when your late fees start, as well as how many days past the due date you are allowed. You will want to know all of the ins and out when you get into a lease.
As just mentioned, if you take care of your personal finances now, you will be able to save for more expensive purchases in the future. With the advice from this article, however, you should be better prepared to make the right decisions about your money.
The EPA has finished its usual gauntlet of tests and has found that this year's Ford Focus Electric is the most efficient five-seater in America. The agency certified that it gets 105 miles to the electric equivalent to the gallon (divided between 110MPGe in the city and 99MPGe on the highway), which is better than Ford's own claim of just 100MPGe. The company's found cause to celebrate the milestone and throw a few jabs at its closest rival, the Nissan Leaf. In fact, you could say that the House that Henry built has a bit of a complex about the leafy EV -- in the press release we've got for you after the break, it mentions the rival vehicle no less than nine times.
Another severe weather system seen on satellite movie from NASAPublic release date: 2-Mar-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ]

Another powerful weather system is moving through the central and eastern U.S., generating more severe weather. NASA created an animation of data from NOAA's GOES-13 satellite that shows the frontal system pushing east as it generated severe weather in Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia. At least 12 tornadoes were reported in three states before mid-day on March 2.
NOAA's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite, GOES-13, captures visible and infrared images of weather over the eastern U.S. every 15 minutes, and has been capturing the movement of the weather system on March 2, 2012. NOAA operates the GOES series of satellites, and NASA's GOES Project, located at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. compiles the images into animations. The GOES visible and infrared data is compiled and then overlayed on a true-color land surface map of the U.S. that was created using data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer instrument that flies on NASA's Aqua and Terra satellites.
The 25 second movie runs from Feb. 29 at 1718 UTC (12:18 p.m. EST) through March 2 at 1740 UTC (12:40 p.m. EST), and shows the progression of the first storm system that generated about 20 tornadoes on February 29 and the second cold front behind it creating the severe weather on March 2.
The Ohio and Tennessee Valleys are under the gun and in a "High Risk" area for severe storms and tornadoes today, March 2 and overnight into March 3. NOAA's National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center issues risk maps. Areas under a moderate risk for severe weather on March 2 include Alabama (which has already reported two tornadoes), central Mississippi, north Georgia, Illinois (has reported one tornado), Indiana, Ohio and West Virginia. The risk for severe thunderstorms extends as far east as the Carolinas.
Twelve possible tornadoes were reported across three states by mid-day. According to the Associated Press, nine tornadoes touched down in Alabama before 1:30 p.m., local time, destroying houses and a jail. Another round of strong to severe storms will be possible in the late afternoon and evening in northern Alabama. In Clinton County, Illinois a tornado was reported to touch down today, according to KMOV-TV. Two more twisters were reported in Tennessee. Eastern Missouri reported strong thunderstorms that dropped quarter-sized hail earlier today. Hail one-half inch in diameter was reported in Allen, Ind.
The National Weather Service has issued a lot of severe weather watches and warnings. All of these areas are under severe thunderstorm watches, some under tornado watches and flash flood watches. West of and behind the front, the Quad cities in Iowa, areas of Illinois and lower Michigan are dealing with a Winter Weather Advisory, and will watch the rain change over to snow.
As the low pressure system and associated cold front push east, National Weather Service in Charleston, West Virginia calls for showers and thunderstorms that could be severe today and tonight, that may include damaging winds and hail. Once the cold front sweeps through the thunderstorm activity will end.
