June 25, 2011 (Press-News.org) Get Help When Debt Spirals Out of Control
If your debt is spiraling out of control, you have choices that need to be made. You may believe your situation is temporary, and before you know it, you'll be back on your financial feet and the problems will go away. If the reason for your financial woes, however, is the downturn of the economy, the loss of a job, or additional medical expenses, these problems may not go away rapidly, and you'll need to come up with a plan.
The first thing is not to put off the inevitable. The longer you wait to address your financial problems, the worse your position will be. You need to take a long, hard look at your income, your bills, and your spending, and develop a plan of attack.
If your income is less than your monthly bills, filing bankruptcy may be the solution that is right for you. If you have lost your job, are not making enough to keep up with the rising cost of living, or if you are having trouble making your mortgage payment, bankruptcy may be a better option than trying to hang on week-to-week and month-to-month.
Whether bankruptcy is right for you depends upon the type of debt you owe. Some debt is not discharged through bankruptcy proceedings. This includes student loans, debt owed to the government, and tax debts. Thus, if the only reason you can't make ends meet is because your student loan payment is too high, bankruptcy might not be the solution.
There are alternatives to bankruptcy that can help you get out of debt. If your problem is high-interest credit card debt, finding a lower-interest card and doing a balance transfer may help to solve it, as long as you do not charge the cards back up after you transfer them.
Getting Help
Regardless of the reasons that you are having financial trouble and how you ultimately resolve it, it's important to come up with a plan sooner rather than later, as the further behind you get, the harder it will be to solve. Speaking with an attorney can be an important step in assessing your financial situation and determining which path is right for you.

Tougher Sentences for Repeat Driving Under the Influence Convictions
A first-time driving under the influence (DUI) conviction carries aggressive sentencing, but when there are aggravating factors, such as previous DUI convictions, the penalties grow even harsher. Approximately 1.5 million drivers are arrested for DUI in California each year, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) data shows. Of those, about one-third are repeat offenders. In total, more than 310,000 Californians have three or more DUI convictions, according to the NHTSA.

2011-06-25
Wisteria Goldens, top breeders of English Cream Golden Retrievers since 2004, has recently introduced the Puppy Prep Academy to aid new puppy owners in training their pets.

"Permanently Becoming and the Architecture of Seeing" by Julian Schnabel: Maybach is sponsor of the retrospective.
2011-06-25
What have in common Venice, the decadent city of the lagoon, and Maybach, the luxury cars brand of the Daimler AG group? Not much, you'd may think, since in Venice it is not possible to drive wheeled vehicles, especially of the imposing size of the giants from Sindelfingen. But the city and the luxury cars brand share similar traits d'union and, you may say, they have a common vocation for the art, besides their uniqueness, allure and their timeless, incomparable elegance.
The ideal union between Maybach and Venice was highlighted by an important retrospective on Julian ...
