			<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><img class="alignright" title="Get cash until payday quickly and easily." src="http://personalmoneystore.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/87514261-men-loan-300px-233x400.png" alt="Construction worker in need of some cash until payday." width="233" height="400" />When you run out of cash, something usually goes wrong and it usually involves money. Whatever it is &#8212; whether it&#8217;s an overlooked past-due notice, a forgotten anniversary or an empty gas tank &#8212; when you need extra <a title="Too Many Days and Too Little Cash until Payday" href="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2009/11/16/days-cash-payday/">cash until payday</a>, online loans offer a quick and easy solution.</p>
<h2>Get cash today</h2>
<p>When you need a loan, it&#8217;s quick and easy to apply at Personal Money Market.</p>
<ul>
<li>Online application is private and secure</li>
<li>Cash is often available in as little as two hours</li>
<li>Credit checks are rarely required</li>
<li>Bad credit and no credit are okay</li>
<li>Bankruptcy is okay</li>
<li>Military loans are available</li>
<li>There&#8217;s typically nothing to fax</li>
<li>You won&#8217;t be kept waiting and wondering</li>
<li>It&#8217;s hassle-free!</li>
</ul>
<h3>Pay it back on payday</h3>
<p>Most online payday loans are paid back automatically on your next payday. A single-payment loan is an ideal way to get back on track when you know you can get by on your next paycheck after repaying a cash advance. If you need to make smaller payments over a longer period of time, <a title="payday installment loans" href="https://personalmoneynetwork.com">payday installment loans</a> and <a title="Yes, You Really Can Get Installment Loans for Bad Credit" href="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2009/11/30/installment-loans-bad-credit-2/">installment loans for bad credit</a> may be better options. Whichever you choose, when you use an online loan to get extra cash until payday, you know right up front how much you owe and when it will be paid back.</p>
<h3>Use your cash advance like a credit card</h3>
<p>When you&#8217;re short of cash until payday, it makes good sense to get a payday loan rather than rely on credit cards. If you&#8217;ve ever used a credit card, you know how easy it is to charge more than you should. It can take months or even years to pay off the balance, and when finances are already tight a long-term monthly obligation is the last thing you need. If you want to make electronic or online purchases, avoid overspending by funding your bank account with a quick loan and then using your debit card.</p>
<h3>Find the best payday loans</h3>
<p>When you need extra cash until payday, you need it right now. Save valuable time by applying at Personal Money Market where one short application instantly finds the best payday loan for your individual needs.</p>

<p>Whether you&#8217;ve been camping for years or are using Memorial Day as an excuse for camping the first time, camp cooking can be one of the best &#8212; or worst &#8212; parts of the trip. With a little bit of planning and thought, camp cooking can be not only easy, but fun.</p>
<h2>Strategy for camp cooking breakfast</h2>
<p>Usually, a camp-cooking breakfast has a few criteria to make it awesome. First, it shouldn&#8217;t take much brain power. Second, it should be filling and incredibly tasty. Third, it should be something that is done all at once &#8211; things like pancakes leave people wanting more and waiting on the cook. The real secret to a good camp cooking breakfast &#8211; just like finding the <a title="best payday loans" href="https://personalmoneynetwork.com">best payday loans</a> &#8211; is to make it in two stages. As soon as you get up for the morning, use a camp stove or a single-use burner to get hot water going. Use that hot water to make coffee, tea, hot cocoa &#8211; whatever your morning drink of choice is.</p>
<h3>A breakfast scramble &#8211; camp cooking at its best</h3>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve been fueled with warm drinks, you can get going on your real camp breakfast. A scramble is one of the best camp breakfasts, because it gives you a chance to use up all the ingredients you might have sitting in your cooler. First, dice up onions, potatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms &#8211; just about any vegetable you have sitting around &#8211; and bacon or sausage. If you would like, you can dice them all at home and just dump them into the pot while you&#8217;re still half-asleep. Cook them all in a pan until they&#8217;re done, then <a href="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2010/05/22/national-egg-month-why-recipes/">mix in eggs</a> and cheese. Scramble until it&#8217;s all mixed together, throw some cheese on top, and breakfast is done. Great eaten hot, cold with condiments, or by itself. Instead of bacon or sausage, a scramble is also a great place to use that fish you may have caught the night before.</p>
<h3>Gravy up your camp breakfast recipe</h3>
<p>One of the quickest, easiest and most flexible camp breakfast recipes is gravy. It may sound simple, but give it a try. Start with bacon, sausage, or just about any other type of meat. Cook it in your pan, maybe with some butter or oil. Once it&#8217;s done, stir it up with some flour, then add milk or broth with pepper, salt, and spices. Let the gravy thicken and bubble on your stove or campfire while you cook up potatoes or toast. Or just throw pre-cooked rice directly into the gravy. If you want to get all fancy, pull out some dry baking-powder biscuits you made at home. Gravy on top of just about anything makes the perfect camp breakfast.</p>

<p>When you are making hard boiled eggs, how long is a question that can make or break your hard boiled egg adventures. For most of us, making hard-boiled eggs seems simple: put eggs in boiling water for a certain period of time, and then pull them out. We have all had that question though. &#8220;Hard boiled eggs, how long do we cook you?&#8221; The answer can be very simple &#8211; about 15 &#8211; 20 minutes. However, if you want hard boiled eggs that aren&#8217;t tough and rubbery and don&#8217;t have a green ring around the middle, it is easy and can be done in less time than it takes to get payday loans.</p>
<h2>What causes green hard boiled eggs</h2>
<p>We&#8217;ve all seen that green ring after we&#8217;re done boiling eggs &#8211; and not only does it look odd, but you can taste the change in flavor. The culprit of these hard boiled eggs going green is in the egg itself &#8211; sulfur. Sulfur is a chemical that occurs naturally in eggs, but when you&#8217;re boiling eggs there is a greater possibility it&#8217;ll come out. When boiling eggs, the sulfur is released and the flavor, texture and color of the hard boiled eggs are all affected. The yolk gets that green ring around it. The white gets rubbery and the yolk itself is dry and crumbly.</p>
<h3>How to make hard boiled eggs</h3>
<p>If you don&#8217;t want your hard boiled eggs to have that green ring and sulfur taste, how do you go about making your hard boiled eggs? How long should you cook them? The American Egg Board has boiled eggs more than 30 dozen times to be able to answer this question.</p>
<p>Place your eggs in a saucepan or pot in a single layer. Cover them with cold water so there&#8217;s about inch of water above the eggs. Put the pot over a high-heat burner. Once the water boils, remove it from the burner and cover it with a tight-fitting lid. Let the eggs sit in the hot water. Medium eggs should sit for 12 minutes, large eggs for 15 minutes and extra-large eggs for 18 minutes. Once their cooking time is up, immediately remove the eggs from the hot water and put them in cold water to stop the cooking.</p>
<h3>Making deviled eggs</h3>
<p>Hard-boiled eggs can be used for thousands of different things &#8212; dye their shells, use them in egg salad, on a chef&#8217;s salad, for potato salad, or in your favorite deviled eggs recipe. Deviled eggs are the most popular way to use hard boiled eggs, and that is an incredibly tasty solution &#8211; a special dish that doesn&#8217;t require the <a title="best payday loans" href="https://personalmoneynetwork.com">best payday loans</a>.</p>
<p>To make basic deviled eggs, slice your hard-boiled eggs lengthwise. Scoop out the yolk, and combine it in a bowl with enough Miracle Whip, mayonnaise, ranch dressing, or oil and vinegar to make a paste. Blend in flavorings &#8211; anything from crumbled bacon or chopped fresh basil to pickle relish. Refill the egg whites with the yolk paste, and you&#8217;ve got the best deviled eggs on the block.</p>

<h2>Five measures of efficiency</h2>
<p>Little things can make big differences when it comes to getting through a day as efficiently as possible. The report identified five simple criteria for measuring urban time-efficiency and ranked cities based on their combined scores in all categories.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">1.	 Ease of movement and travel (traffic congestion, commute and walking efficiency, airport timeliness)<br />
2.	Ready accessibility of health and safety services (waiting times for medical appointments, number of physicians, emergency response times)<br />
3.	Availability of  information and technology  (broadband and wireless, bookstores and libraries, telephone hotlines)<br />
4.	Environmentally sensitive time-savers (efficient and inexpensive recycling programs, bicycle friendliness, farmers’ markets, community gardens)<br />
5.	Lifestyle time-savers (take-out restaurant food, personal trainers, personal organizers)</p>
<h3>Honorable mention for a sixth modern convenience</h3>
<p>Ready availability of payday installment loans and <a title="short term loans for bad credit" href="https://personalmoneynetwork.com">short term loans for bad credit</a> didn’t merit a separate time-efficiency category in the <em>CNN Living</em> report.    In all major U.S. cities, however, the best payday loans can be found online very quickly; and logically, their availability is subsumed in the information and technology category.</p>
<h3>Ten top time-saving cities</h3>
<p><span style="color: #cc99ff;"><strong><em>1. Seattle.</em></strong></span><em><strong> </strong></em>Seattle boasts extensive public-transit systems and a state-of-the-art signal-optimization program that synchronizes hundreds of traffic lights to promote smooth vehicular travel through the city.  Seattle is also known to have one of the most on-time airports in the country, and in the last two years, the city has added 50 miles of new bike lanes.  Seattle has several Neighborhood Service Centers where people can pay utility bills and parking tickets, apply for passports and even hold a hearing with a magistrate &#8212; all in one stop. Waiting times for doctor appointments are said to be short.  Not surprisingly, the city has more coffee shops than any other city in the U.S. as well as the most Wi-Fi spots.</p>
<p><em><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #cc99ff;">2. Portland, Ore.</span> </span></strong></em>Bike-friendly Portland is home to the nation’s fourth-largest light-rail system, and airport delays are few.  Emergency services are so responsive that the city has one of the country’s highest cardiac-arrest survival rates.  Equally important from a time-saving perspective, finding an inexpensive lunch is reputed to be very easy.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em><strong><span style="color: #cc99ff;">3. San Francisco.</span> </strong></em></span> San Francisco offers smart technology to help residents make the most of time. San Francisco ties Seattle for the most booksellers per capita and offers an endless array of fast dining options. San Francisco has a 24-hour 311 information hotline, a 511 hotline and online services providing updates on biking, public-transit and traffic conditions.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em><strong><span style="color: #cc99ff;">4. Boston.</span> </strong></em></span>Not only does Boston have the highest walk-to-work rate in the nation, it also offers technological tools such as Boston’s Citizens Connect app for instant reporting of problems or complaints (with or without photos for proof) from an iPhone. Single-stream recycling pickup means residents don’t spend time sorting, and abundant farmers&#8217; markets make “green” a time-efficient choice.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em><strong><span style="color: #cc99ff;">5. Minneapolis.</span> </strong></em></span>Minneapolis is number one for farmers&#8217; markets, number two for bicycle accessibility and among the top few in terms of community gardens per capita. Snow alerts are available via text message, e-mail and online social networks.  No matter how cold the day, in just a minute and a half, residents get hot Neapolitan pies at Punch Pizza, a popular Twin Cities restaurant chain.</p>
<p><span style="color: #cc99ff;"><em><strong>6.  Denver.</strong></em></span> Denver offers a city-wide bicycle-share program that makes commuting by bike a time-efficient choice.  Waits for doctor visits are short, and Denver has the largest number of certified personal trainers per capita in the nation. Denver also speeds the flow of information with wide-spread library services and internet accessibility.</p>
<p><span style="color: #cc99ff;"><em><strong>7. Washington, D.C.</strong></em></span> The nation&#8217;s capital has the second-highest non-car commuting rate and one of the highest ratios of farmers&#8217; markets to population. Other time-savers include proportionally large numbers of take-out restaurants, certified personal trainers, and professional organizers.</p>
<p><span style="color: #cc99ff;"><em><strong>8. Pittsburgh.</strong></em></span> Public transit in Pittsburgh is impressive for a city of its size.   Most notably, the system includes three bus-only highways to maximize commute-time efficiency. Pittsburgh is also one of the top five cities in the country in terms of the number of bookstores per capita.</p>
<p><span style="color: #cc99ff;"><em><strong>9. Miami.</strong></em></span> Miami has the highest number of doctors per capita of any city surveyed, which should translate to short wait times for appointments.  It’s also easy to save time when parking on Miami city streets. Miami is the first major U.S. city to make it possible to pay for street parking by cell phone.  Not only do you save time by not having to run somewhere for meter change, when you pay by cell phone, text alerts tell you when time is running out. Miami also has widely available internet access, free single-stream curb recycling, and a wide array of take-out food.</p>
<p><span style="color: #cc99ff;"><em><strong>10. Atlanta.</strong></em> </span>Atlanta has the shortest wait for doctor&#8217;s visits of all cities surveyed.  Traffic moves at a snail’s pace, but the city makes up for lost time with abundant community gardens and an efficient recycling program.</p>

<div id="attachment_47946" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 229px"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-47946" title="michelle_obama_waving" src="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/michelle_obama_waving-219x300.jpg" alt="(Photo: commons.wikimedia.org)" width="219" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">(Photo: commons.wikimedia.org)</p></div>
<p>It&#8217;s time for <strong>Forbes</strong>&#8216; list of the world&#8217;s 100 most powerful women. These are women who have achieved great things in the public and the private sector. They&#8217;ve made contributions to society that will not be forgotten, and as a result they&#8217;ve garnered no small amount of fame. If I can in any way parlay the glow of their accomplishments into hawking auto loans and the <a title="best payday loans" href="https://personalmoneynetwork.com">best payday loans</a> on the World Wide Web, I&#8217;ll be very happy. Please apply here by clicking the green button below. It&#8217;s green because it&#8217;s safe.</p>
<h3>Who makes the list?</h3>
<p>Corky Siemaszko of the <strong><a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2009/08/19/2009-08-19_mich.html" rel="external nofollow">New York Daily News</a></strong> reports that America&#8217;s First Lady, Michelle Obama, has debuted on the list and is poised to rise to even greater heights next year. Mrs. Obama took the 40<sup>th</sup> spot. By contrast, Laura Bush peaked at number 60 in 2007.</p>
<p>&#8220;Not only is she a First Lady, she&#8217;s the first African-American First Lady and that accords her a certain amount of power,&#8221; said Heidi Brown of <strong>Forbes</strong>.</p>
<h3>&#8220;A media magnet&#8221;</h3>
<p>Brown, who was one of the compilers of the list, told Siemaszko that the <strong>Forbes</strong> 100 most powerful women list takes into account how much total media attention a candidate receives, and judging by how often Michelle Obama appears in the media for things as serious as political issues or as splashy as what she&#8217;s wearing, it&#8217;s clear that she&#8217;d a &#8220;media magnet.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s done a lot to get her message out,&#8221; Brown said. &#8220;She&#8217;s been effective at reaching out not only to the media, but to regular people as well.&#8221;</p>
<h3>More Obama administration members made the list</h3>
<p>Michelle Obama is definitely not alone on the <strong>Forbes</strong> magazine &#8220;100 Most Powerful Women&#8221; list. Additional ranking members include Homeland Security leader Janet Napolitano (51), Security and Exchange Commission chief Mary Schapiro (55) and Health and Human Services leader Kathleen Sebelius (56). Perhaps Sebelius received that ranking before she came out in public and said that the public option was &#8220;not the most important&#8221; part of President Obama&#8217;s health care reform initiative.</p>
<h3>Justice and a New York state of mind</h3>
<p>[apply_button float="right"]</p>
<p>New Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor made her debut on the Forbes 100 most powerful women list at 54, but she has some catching up to do with fellow justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, who sits at 48. Both justices are New Yorkers, but they are not the state&#8217;s highest ranked woman. That honor belongs to PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi, who continued her hold on the number three slot.</p>
<p>Speaking of New York, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is still on the Forbes 100 most powerful women list at 36<sup>th</sup>, but she has lost a little ground since the 2008 presidential election, when she ranked at number 28.</p>
<h3>More from the corporate world</h3>
<p>Yahoo! head Carol Bartz ranked high on the Forbes 100 most powerful women list at number 12. This proved to be more than enough to earn her the cover shot on this edition of <strong>Forbes</strong> magazine.</p>
<p>Heidi Brown told the <strong>Daily News</strong> that another woman on this year&#8217;s Forbes 100 most powerful women list who should prove to be an up-and-comer is Sallie Krawcheck. While she was forced out of Citigroup, she quickly caught on with Bank of America, where she is now the Chief Executive for Global Wealth Management. Krawcheck ranks 87<sup>th</sup> on the list in 2009.</p>
<p>Mary Erdoes of J.P. Morgan may bring up the rear on Forbes 100 most powerful women list, but that certainly doesn&#8217;t mean that her accomplishments in the banking and investment world have not been tremendous.</p>
<h3>Where&#8217;s the media?</h3>
<p>Forbes decided that they&#8217;d introduce a separate list of female media &#8220;movers and shakers,&#8221; said Brown. That&#8217;s why people like &#8220;Today&#8221; show host Meredith Viera, &#8220;CBS Evening News&#8221; anchor Katie Couric or &#8220;Good Morning America&#8221; co-host Diane Sawyer don&#8217;t appear in the Forbes 100 most powerful women list.</p>
<p>&#8220;They wield a different a different kind of influence,&#8221; Brown said.</p>
<h3>&#8220;And the winner is&#8230;&#8221;</h3>
<p>For the fourth year running, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has taken the number one spot on the Forbes 100 most powerful women list. She finished ahead of America&#8217;s Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation chair, Sheila Bair. Bair was last year&#8217;s runner up, too, although if America&#8217;s banking crisis is turned around, I&#8217;d say that Bair deserves serious consideration for the number one slot in 2010. Healthier banks and a stronger flow of auto loans and the best payday loans would indicate a healthier economy, which is something that should make anyone smile.</p>
