A cash advance can keep you going until your next payday. (Photo: flickr.com)</p></div>
<p>With all of the financial turmoil that American families are facing right now, cash advances have become a way to get the money you need, when you need it. Read on to better understand a few of the main reasons why people turn to a cash advance in times of need, as well as how you can take advantage of this same benefit.</p>
<h3>Main Reasons for a Cash Advance</h3>
<p>The most common reason people apply for a cash advance is to avoid overdraft fees and credit card late payments. The fees for an overdraft check or a late credit card payment range from $26 to $56. In addition to large fees, being late on your credit card can have serious negative effects on your credit score. So, using a cash advance in these circumstances can really aid you in saving money and protecting your credit score.</p>
<h3>When Surprises Strike, Cash Advances are There</h3>
<p>An additional reason for someone to apply for a cash advance is to help cover an unexpected bill. Whether it is an unexpected car repair or even a home repair, cash advances are always there to help you get the money you need.  Cash advances are fast, reliable and typically do not require a credit check.</p>
<h3>What is a Cash Advance and How Do I Get My Money?</h3>
<p>A cash advance is a type of short-term loan that usually requires repayment on or before your next payday. Loan amounts range from $100 to $1,500, and there are generally no credit checks required when applying for your cash advance. After your loan has been approved, the lender will electronically transfer the funds to your bank account. In some cases, you can receive your online cash advance in as little as two hours. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Our Brains Grow Weaker</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/92922877@N00/2089466950" rel="external"><img class="alignright" style="border: 0pt none; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" title="thought synthesizer" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2299/2089466950_352a8cc0d2_m.jpg" border="0" alt="thought synthesizer" hspace="5" width="180" height="240"  style="display:block;float:right;"/></a>Remembering to pay back a <strong>cash advance</strong> is easy. But there are millions of people who forget “common” things, such as, math figures, phone numbers, and people’s names. Yes, it’s true that memory does get weaker as people grow older. I don’t know about you, but I want to make sure my brain stays <strong>as healthy as it possibly can</strong>.</p>
<p>The good news is that you can improve or <strong>enhance your memory in no time</strong>. After all, successful individuals in the world must remember lots of names, numbers, and figures. So here are some suggestions that can help you improve, strengthen, or enhance your memory:</p>
<h3>Number One</h3>
<p>Taking the time to comprehend that<strong> what you want to remember</strong> is very important. The more you totally consume yourself in what you want to learn, the better you retain the information. For example, if you want to remember the name Carol, just imagine a woman, or Carol herself singing a carol.</p>
<h3>Number Two</h3>
<p>If you take the information you want to learn and relate it to something else that you remember well, you could <strong>improve your memory retention</strong>. This is something called an association technique, where you interconnect names, numbers, figures, and faces to things than can deeply relate to the information you need to retain. The more outrageous the connection the better, because your brain will take the ridiculous association and create a sort of “trigger” to recall the information during REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, or dreaming.</p>
<h3>Number Three</h3>
<p>The reason why songs are so powerful, <strong>especially the catchy tunes</strong>, is because they create an emotion within us. People, who are perturbed about a situation they’re going through, will recite a quote, prayer, or affirmation. By focusing on the “good” outcome, they remember and strive for it. The same goes for remembering smaller things.</p>
<p>You store the information a lot quicker by repeating it over and over again in your mind. After awhile, the info will stick. You will be talking to someone and the information will pop up, <strong>as if out of thin air</strong>. Try putting together a list of 5 items and remembering them in the exact order they’re listed.</p>
<h3>Number Four</h3>
<div style="margin:5px;float:right;"><script type="text/javascript">
/* <![CDATA[ */
google_ad_client="pub-9115585088471889";google_ad_slot="9221552491";google_ad_width=200;google_ad_height=200;
/* ]]&gt; */
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script>
</div>
<p>In a financial crunch, a <strong>fast cash advance</strong> could give your wallet a much needed break. Like your wallet, your brain needs a small break. Take a few minutes to rejuvenate your mind and then attempt to recall the information you’ve remembered again. Try to relax and empty your thoughts for about four or five minutes, and then practice your memory techniques again. After a little more exercise, take another 5 minute break. Three times the charm. <strong>If you can remember the information</strong> that you’ve been practicing on after your third break, then the information has unpacked and plans to stay in your brain’s long-term memory.</p>
<h3>Number Five</h3>
<p>Repeating these steps over and over until you can remember the information on your own. This will <strong>result in outstanding triumph</strong>. And don’t fret if after the 5 minute interval your recall is unsuccessful. Just go back and repeat steps one through four.</p>
<p>I’ve only listed but a few relatively quick, easy, and painless suggestions to help you stimulate your mind, which will increase your memory. Remember that<strong> practice makes perfect</strong>, so it is okay if you don’t succeed the first few times you try to apply these steps. If you stay focused, and use these tips regularly, whenever you need help remembering important information, your memory recall could possibly double!</p>
<p>After awhile of keeping an eye on yourself- and your progress, you will notice that it takes less time to remember information given to you. You’ll be stunned by how easily your memory&#8217;s recall of information quickly and accurately grows. This also means you’ll remember to pay back- let’s say- a <strong>cash advance loan</strong> on time. What great brains we have, huh?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Fast cash advance for endangered families</h2>
<div id="McMahon" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://www.kepplerspeakers.com/literature/McMahon-E.jpg" alt="You may already be safe from foreclosure!" width="200" height="200"  style="display:block;float:right;"/><p class="wp-caption-text">You may already be safe from foreclosure!</p></div>
<p>President Obama&#8217;s plan to revamp the mortgage industry and save families &#8211; including the <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20259919,00.html"  title="octuplet mom and her kids" rel="external">octuplet mom and her kids</a> &#8211; from foreclosure is now in full gear, like a <strong>fast cash advance</strong> for the afflicted. As part of the package, mortgage lenders like Citigroup and JP Morgan Chase have gone into a temporary moratorium phase for new foreclosures. Mr. Obama&#8217;s housing plan, which launches March 4, will distribute a sum total of $75 billion.</p>
<p>But how can those in need take advantage? Thanks to <a href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/10464798/1/three-ways-to-take-advantage-of-obamas-mortgage-plan.html?cm_ven=GOOGLENThree%20Ways%20To"  title="The Street" rel="external"><em><strong>The Street</strong></em></a>, there is a formula threatened homeowners can follow. If you need help, try some of the good ideas they have compiled for your benefit.</p>
<h3>Obama&#8217;s plan will advance cash fast</h3>
<p>The Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan is the key to disadvantaged homeowners. Essentially, it will allow people to restructure their mortgages so that they can avoid foreclosure. If you owe more than 80 percent of your home&#8217;s value, more refinancing options to <strong>advance cash fast</strong> will be available.</p>
<p>Up until March 4, here&#8217;s what <em><strong>The Street</strong></em> suggests homeowners do to put them in the best possible position to benefit:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Continue to make your mortgage payments</strong>: &#8220;Homeowners that are current [on payments] but eligible for the new plan should continue to make their mortgage payments in a timely manner,&#8221; says Gail Cunningham of the National Foundation for Credit Counseling. &#8220;Doing otherwise could compromise their credit report and score.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Know what&#8217;s on your credit report</strong>: If there are errors on your credit report &#8211; and this does happen &#8211; you want to report it and have the error removed. The easiest way to get a hold of your credit report is entirely free; download it from annualcreditreport.com. Making sure that all information is accurate will speed up the process through which your home loan is modified.</li>
<li><strong>Consider the refinance option</strong>: For those of you who still owe more than 80 percent of your home&#8217;s value, you may be able to refinance if your original loan was guaranteed by either Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae. If you need more information on how low mortgage rates are in the area in which you live, Web sites like BankingMyWay.com can help.</li>
</ol>
<p>President Obama envisions his plan keeping as many as nine million homes out of foreclosure. &#8220;The plan I&#8217;m announcing focuses on rescuing families who have played by the rules and acted responsibly,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It will not rescue the unscrupulous or irresponsible by throwing good taxpayer money after bad loans.&#8221; May this <strong>fast cash advance</strong> keep more families safe and warm.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Stanford financial being charged with fraud</h2>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-28045" title="antigua-bank" src="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/antigua-bank.gif" alt="antigua-bank" width="71" height="72"  style="display:block;float:right;"/></p>
<p>Depositors who have had dealings with Stanford Financial want <strong>fast cash</strong> in <strong>advance</strong> of the legal proceedings Allen Stanford will face. He has been charged with fraud because of $8 billion in notes he sold. Two other executives are accused as well.</p>
<h3>Storming the banks</h3>
<p>Hundreds of people lined up in Antigua and Caracas  to take their money out of affiliated with the Texas billionaire after they heard news of the fraud charges. Stanford Financial&#8217;s headquarters are in Houston, Texas, but the financial group has banks all over the world.</p>
<blockquote><p>The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has accused Stanford of operating a fraud centered on the sale of certificates of deposit from his Antiguan affiliate, Stanford International Bank Ltd., according to Reuters.</p></blockquote>
<p>Following the revelations of the charges, Stanford&#8217;s customers were set on getting their cash fast and in advance of any trial.</p>
<h3>Financier disappears</h3>
<p>It seems Stanford customers are getting their cash in advance of federal agents getting Allen Stanford. At the moment, Allen Stanford&#8217;s whereabouts are unknown. He tried to hire a private jet to fly out of Houston to Antigua, but the lessor would not accept his credit card.</p>
<h3>Far-reaching impact</h3>
<p>Houston-based Stanford Financial is the biggest private employer in the twin-island state of Antigua and Barbuda. Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer admitted the charges against Stanford could have &#8220;catastrophic&#8221; consequences, but he urged everyone to not panic.</p>
<blockquote><p>The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank posted a statement at Bank of Antigua saying the bank had sufficient reserves.&#8221;If individuals persist in rushing to the bank in a panic, they will precipitate the very situation that we are all trying to avoid,&#8221; the statement said.</p></blockquote>
<h3>Details of impeding charges</h3>
<blockquote><p>In a civil complaint, the SEC said SIB sold $8 billion in &#8220;by promising high return rates that exceed those available through true certificates of deposits offered by traditional banks.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>It makes sense that the customers of a potential scam artist would want to pull their <strong>cash fast</strong>, in <strong>advance</strong> of any criminal charges.</p>

<p>If Microsoft needs a <strong>fast cash advance</strong> to get Windows Mobile 6.5 on shelves sooner, it should highly consider getting one. Microsoft is falling far behind in the world of phones. It announced its new smart phone software today, but the program won&#8217;t be out for another six months.</p>
<h3>Slip sliding away</h3>
<p>Microsoft used to be leader of the pack when it came to smart phones, but its market share is slipping. This is largely because while other companies, such as Apple, T-Mobile and RIM, are issuing software updates while Microsoft is issuing phones. If Microsoft can&#8217;t catch up with the new trends in the mobile market, it&#8217;s headed for some serious financial problems.</p>
<h3>A new outlook</h3>
<p>All the other companies competing for mobile market share are treating their smart phones like computers, which get software upgrades frequently and all on the same device. Microsoft is getting the picture now, but is it too late? Maybe if Microsoft offers a<strong> fast cash advance</strong> to loyal customers, they&#8217;ll stay loyal.</p>
<h3>Imperfect platforms</h3>
<p>Part of the problem is Microsoft&#8217;s business model. Unlike other smart phone companies, Microsoft doesn&#8217;t manufacture its own phones. The key to Microsoft stepping up its performance in the mobile phone sector is to be specific with its partners about how devices that support Windows Mobile are supposed to operate.</p>
<h3>Share and share alike</h3>
<p><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2013/2264764769_b350faf5c1.jpg?v=0" rel="external"><img class="alignright" title="building" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2013/2264764769_b350faf5c1.jpg?v=0" alt="" width="200" height="133"  style="display:block;float:right;"/></a>Microsoft operates its mobile business by selling licenses for its software to several different hardware manufacturers. However, this can mean the devices don&#8217;t work quickly enough or seamlessly enough with Windows Mobile. It also confuses users and muddies exactly what the Windows Mobile experience is supposed to be like.</p>
<p>People are much more comfortable using software they can discuss with their friends. If Jane and Jill have the same software but different hardware and different ways of using it, they&#8217;re going to end up confused and angry that they have to call an IT person with a question instead of just asking a friend.</p>
<p>Microsoft definitely needs to step it up, and if a <strong>fast cash advance</strong> is needed to get the company going in the right direction, it will be worth it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Should there be an easy <strong>cash advance</strong> for the American automobile industry&#8217;s &#8220;Big Three?&#8221; Will the system fix itself if money is thrown at the problem?</p>
<h2>Don&#8217;t count on it</h2>
<p>Have you ever heard of &#8220;<a title="What is Planned Obsolescence?"  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence" rel="external">planned obsolescence</a>?&#8221; Essentially, mass-produced products are designed to either become obsolete or non-functional after a certain amount of use. This is very useful to the party that controls the means of production, as it creates a never-ending stream of demand for their products after things fall apart.</p>
<h3>Things are falling apart now, America</h3>
<p>Planned obsolescence has historically played a huge role in the American automobile industry. General Motors, one of America&#8217;s &#8220;Big Three&#8221; auto makers, has consistently operated under the principle of &#8220;What&#8217;s good for GM is good for America.&#8221; While this may have been appropriate during World War II, when GM&#8217;s involvement in the defense effort provided many jobs for hard-working civilians, it is an antiquated idea now. What&#8217;s &#8220;good for GM&#8221; <a title="Vanquishing the American Dream"  href="http://www.alternet.org/columnists/story/31127/" rel="external">may no longer be good</a> for the American people.</p>
<div style="float: right; margin-left:5px;"><object width="300" height="243" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/BWPHIoi8qMA&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BWPHIoi8qMA&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /></object></div>
<p>For a lighter look at planned obsolescence in action, check out this classic 1940 short film, &#8220;Hired!&#8221; This is actually Part 2 of the film, but you&#8217;ll get the idea. The disposable punch line comes around at about 8:04 &#8211; these auto salesmen are hoping to sell a gentleman <strong>his next 10 cars</strong>.<strong> </strong>You&#8217;d need a heck of a fast <strong>cash advance</strong> for that!</p>
<h3>Consumers are wiser now</h3>
<p>They&#8217;ll buy sturdier, more economical <a title="Imports now lead car sales in the U.S. - Foreign cars outsold domestics for the first time in July, a miserable month for the industry."  href="http://articles.latimes.com/2007/aug/02/business/fi-autos2" rel="external">foreign cars</a>. And despite the current call for greener vehicles with lower emissions, America has taken a rather <a title="The Automobile and the Environment in American History"  href="http://www.autolife.umd.umich.edu/Environment/E_Overview/E_Overview4.htm" rel="external">lackluster approach</a> to this over the years. Don&#8217;t expect this to change anytime soon, as building big trucks and SUVs is the &#8220;American way&#8221; that has enabled the CEOs of America&#8217;s big auto makers to become obscenely rich.</p>
<h3>The CEOs will take down America to save their own skins</h3>
<div style="float: right; margin-left:5px;"><object width="300" height="243" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/qlMYzLlQ0n4&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qlMYzLlQ0n4&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /></object></div>
<p>As film director Michael Moore recently said on &#8220;Larry King Live,&#8221; the Big Three CEOs have no real interest in the capitalist ideal. &#8220;Go Capitalism! Free Market! Free Enterprise!&#8221; Really? It seems that the handout you&#8217;re crying to the government for -<strong> $25 BILLION</strong> &#8211; is their own <a title="Ethics of Socialism" href="http://lcweb2.loc.gov/service/gdc/scd0001/2007/20070525002so/20070525002so.pdf" rel="external">Socialist</a> safety net. Is what&#8217;s good for GM still good for America?</p>
<p>Perhaps not.</p>
<p>You&#8217;d think companies like GM, Ford and Chrysler that were losing money hand over foot would make the right kind of adjustments into order to right the ship. Right?</p>
<p>Wrong. Mass layoffs are imminent, yet the Big Three CEOs <a title="GM, Ford Executives Say No To $1 Salary In Exchange For Government Aid"  href="http://squashed.tumblr.com/post/60702696/gm-ford-executives-say-no-to-1-salary-in-exchange-for" rel="external">refuse to work with the government</a> for the benefit of the American people. Didn&#8217;t Spock say that &#8220;the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few?&#8221;</p>
<h3>Capitalism doesn&#8217;t work if it means the rich get rich and the poor get trampled</h3>
<p>When individuals are ruled by <a title="Marx And Weber: Critics of Capitalism"  href="http://www.wpunj.edu/newpol/issue42/Lowy42.htm" rel="external">impersonal, irrational abstractions</a> that make up a capitalist system in its purest form, the little people lose. People will be laid off because the CEOs don&#8217;t want to give up this kind of money:</p>
<ul>
<li><a title="GM CEO Wagoner Has a Likely Golden Parachute, Too"  href="http://blog.mlive.com/statewidebusinessstories/2008/03/gm_board_restores_ceo_rick_wag.html" rel="external">GM CEO Rick Wagoner</a>: $5,000,000 per annum total salary, with the potential to receive a $15,000,000 golden parachute</li>
<li><a title="GM, Ford May Set Up Caps on Executive Pay"  href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122702915620437775.html?mod=googlenews_wsj" rel="external">Ford CEO Alan Mulally</a>:$22,000,000 earnings the past year</li>
<li><a title="Robert L. Nardelli"  href="http://www.forbes.com/static/pvp2005/LIRCUIN.html" rel="external">Chrysler GEO Robert Nardelli</a>: $22,800,000 total earnings</li>
</ul>
<p>They are being paid this kind of money while workers are being laid off. While they are begging the government for a $25,000,000,000 handout. <strong>Cash advance</strong> loan<em>s</em>, but without that &#8220;loan&#8221; part written into the deal.</p>
<h3>How much money are the companies losing while CEOs sop up cash?</h3>
<p>According to Moore when he was on with Larry King:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ford: $2,000,000,000</li>
<li>GM: $39,000,000,000</li>
<li><a title="Chrysler announces losses, cuts"  href="http://www.cleveland.com/news/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/business-8/122483712688720.xml&amp;coll=2" rel="external">Chrysler</a> (not mentioned by Moore): $662,000,000 in the second quarter of 2008 alone!</li>
</ul>
<h3>The end of capitalism as we know it?</h3>
<blockquote><p><span>And I think, really, what we&#8217;re seeing now &#8212; with them, with the banks &#8212; we&#8217;re seeing the end of capitalism. The end of capitalism as we know it and I say good riddance. It hasn&#8217;t helped the people or the planet.&#8221; &#8211; Michael Moore on Larry King Live, Wednesday, November 19th, 2008</span></p></blockquote>
<p>Are you listening, government? We can&#8217;t give $25,000,000,000 to men who will use it to give themselves great bonuses, vacations, bigger jets and biggers yachts. We have to take a stand now.</p>
<p>Mr. Moore suggests that Obama step in as <a title="FDR and the New Deal"  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Deal" rel="external">President Franklin Delano Roosevelt</a> did during the Great Depression and WWII. He told the automakers what to do: build what America needed. Today, if the automakers can employ their workforce in the service of bettering mass transit, hybrid vehicles and more things that will help improve this country&#8217;s infrastructure, we&#8217;ll be on the road to recovery.</p>
<div style="float: right; margin-left:5px;"><object width="300" height="243" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/j0bbOZ-nkJs&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/j0bbOZ-nkJs&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></div>
<p>That&#8217;s a <strong>cash advance </strong>in the direction of a modified form of Socialism that the people of this nation can use. A strong nation is what we need. By repairing the economy and our infrastructure, we will achieve. That&#8217;s the American way.</p>
