T.I. is F.R.E.E. (well, not really)

CLIFFORD HARRIS - AKA T.I. - FREED FROM JAIL: But he's still under custody ... at home. source

*T. I. is out of jail, but he's still under arrest. House arrest. The rapper, whose real name is Clifford Harris, posted a $3 million bond Friday and was allowed to leave federal court. He'll be confined to his home to await trial on weapons charges.

"I want to thank all the fans for their support," Harris said as he left the courthouse. "Due to the severity of the situation, I can't say much more." Before hopping into a black sport utility vehicle, he added, "I want to get all of this behind me."


U.S. Magistrate Judge Alan Baverman agreed to the bond over government objections so long as Harris follows certain conditions, including remaining in a home except for medical appointments and court appearancesm reports the AP.


Harris, 27, also was required to surrender his passport, not own any guns and stay away from witnesses and informants in the case. The only people who will be allowed to live with him are his girlfriend and children. Visitors must be approved by the court.


Baverman sternly warned him against violating conditions of his bond. The judge said that if Harris gets into any trouble or violates the terms of his release, "a number of very bad things will happen." That includes his bond being revoked and any sentence he receives later being potentially increased.


Harris told Baverman he understood the conditions. A status conference in the case is set for Nov. 5.


He was arrested by federal authorities on October 13 for allegedly buying unregistered machine guns and silencers. Harris faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each count

Kid Rock arrested after fight

ATLANTA (Reuters) - Musician Kid Rock was arrested on Sunday after a fight in a Waffle House restaurant in Atlanta just days after he scored his first No. 1 album on U.S. pop charts, police said.
DeKalb County police said they arrested Rock, 36, and five members of his entourage at 5:15 a.m. after an argument with a man who entered the Waffle House escalated into a fight.


"Rock along with five members of his entourage were charged with one count of battery, which is a misdemeanor. The victim ... was treated and released at a local hospital for his injuries," Mekka Parish, spokeswoman for DeKalb police, said.

The Waffle House pressed charges against the man involved in the fight with Rock's entourage after a window was punched out during the fight, which started inside but ended in the parking lot, Parish said.


She said Rock had given a concert in Atlanta earlier in the evening and left the scene on his tour bus after the fight. He was stopped and arrested about a mile down the road, Parish said. He
was released on bond later on Sunday.

Rock scored the first No. 1 album of his career on Wednesday with "Rock N Roll Jesus."

What's In Your Wallet??

We've seen the citibank commercial over a gazillion times, and I'll once ask again..."what's in your wallet?" or better yet..."what ISN'T in your wallet?"

If you like other Americans answered "money," you'd be in the majority.

Next question, "are you on a budget?" Most Americans who are in debt-do not utilize a budget.

Why use a budget?

Budgeting helps you to see where your money's going.

For ex., Starbucks coffee is delicious, but one $4 cup everyday on the way to work is $20/wk, $80/month, and a whopping $960 per year. Think of the gas you can purchase with $960 per year. Ok, it still wouldn't pay for a year but it'll make a huge dent in your gas budget! $960 is a down payment towards a car, you can buy new textbooks for a school year, you can treat yourself to wardrobe (on sale) etc.

Budgeting takes determination and discipline, it's not for the faint at heart, but for those who want to have money in the bank.

Where to Start

In searching for a credible online debt website, I could not believe my fortune when I read about "Grandpa Terry." Grandpa Terry, a former navyman, considers his job title "grandpa" to be his most important job right now. His website called "Budget Stretcher" found at

http://www.homemoneyhelp.com/

contains so much information about debt relief, that it seems almost criminal to offer it to the public-FREE. That's right, it's free. Many of our questions are answered here, and you can also sign up to receive helpful information via email. Also, he's speaking from experience. Grandpa Terry admits when he met his goal in the navy of being promoted to Second Class Petty Officer, Grandpa T admitted his finances were in a mess. Grandpa keeps it real, he is nonsense and he will help you get out of debt.

This is a start.

Next Friday, I will take a tip from Budget Stretcher and include it in Financial

Freedom Friday's post.

Fam, you betta recognize. It's time for a change.
