I'm OK, You're Not So Hot: Relativism, Progressivism and the Collapse of Culture
How did we get to this point?
Ultimately then, in order to be a progressive one must be an atheist. Without a belief in a moral code that is of divine origin, the progressive cannot logically justify his belief in "fairness", "human rights", or any of the other ideals he claims to espouse. Morality becomes simply a matter of opinion, and all opinions are equally valid. However, that position is untenable because he might get his nose punched, so he must substitute coercion, enforcement of his arbitrary new code, in order that people with varying opinions obey his precepts and become subordinate to his will. He must be in favor of hate speech laws, censorship of writing and the Internet, the "fairness" doctrine, marginalization of those who do not share progressive views, mandatory "sensitivity training", and so forth. Does this sound familiar?
RICHMOND,VA (Catholic Online) - During the past fifty or so years we have seen an increasing secularization of our society, and that of the entire West, which has dramatically escalated during the Obama administration. We are seeing basic tenets of not just Christian faith, but of reality itself, being questioned, such as how many "genders" are there, and whether they may be altered. The idea of the institution of marriage between a man and a woman being the optimum arrangement for a healthy society built on the nuclear family is being actively condemned and indeed voicing that opinion now comes under the 1984ish label of "hate speech" which is punishable by law.
How did we get to this point? The answer in part is in the 1967 book by Thomas Harris, MD entitled, "I'm OK, You're OK." The book is a pop psychological explanation of Transactional Analysis, and posits that there are three mental states between which a person can switch - child, parent, and adult. The child is mostly an emotional state, with memories of reactions to events not well understood when one was young, which can affect later thinking, such as an irrational fear of dogs, or a constructive fear of putting one's hand on a red hot stove burner. The parent state is thinking dominated by bits of "tape recordings" of admonitions and rules that the child learned. The adult, and supposedly desirable state, results from testing of the parental rules and childhood emotions to form your own opinions and code of conduct.
The problem with this thinking is that it considers the parental state as oppressive and arbitrary. Adults are urged to go beyond what are considered "simplistic" mores and find their own solutions. Instead of the child thinking, "I'm not OK, but you are OK" and modeling his behavior accordingly, he is encouraged to think, "I'm OK, and you're OK", and substitute his own ideas for those of his parents, society, or the Church. This of course is only possible if one believes in moral relativism, where what I believe and what you believe are equally valid.
The concept of relativism has at least two problems. First, one group of "progressives" thinks that two men should be "married" and allowed to adopt children, and the result will be normal, well-adjusted children. Traditional Christians on the other hand think that marriage between two men is absurd and would lack the complementarity of a husband-wife relationship along with the maternal instincts of the mother, the role modeling that heterosexual parents provide, etc., the result of which would be children who are terribly confused and who have a much higher likelihood of having future problems such as emotional illness, with greater incidence of substance abuse and suicide, among other issues. For relativism to be valid, one would have to contend that the entire matter makes no difference one way or the other. From the passion exhibited on both sides of the argument that is obviously not the case.
The other problem is that the contention itself is not logically valid. Progressives and traditional Christians cannot hold opposing views and both be right, anymore that Christians and Muslims or Buddhists can have different ideas of God and both be correct. It is a logical impossibility.
The contention of the relativists is that there is no absolute standard of right and wrong, and that the standard society uses is "evolving". The Christian contention is that there is in fact an absolute standard and it is written by God on our hearts. The relativists often point to the horrible torture and murders that have occurred and continue to occur and say that clearly there is no moral standard by which all societies operate. Upon closer examination, however, this is easily shown not to be true.
Even in societies that subscribed to cannibalism, the act was committed against enemies, and after lengthy rituals. They did not simply roast one of their children for dinner. Similarly when we see the horrific YouTube videos of some Muslim "rebel" eating the heart of some poor victim, it is someone who he has dehumanized through his Islamic beliefs, not his best friend. Murder is always considered wrong, when it is understood to be murder. What societies do is to delude themselves that what they are doing is not murder, which is what we in our abortion-centric society have done. We are not killing babies; we are promoting "women's health".
A better way to see the universality of absolute standards, which are collectively called "Natural Law", is not to look at someone's actions, but rather to look at their reactions. As a simple experiment, when a relativist tells you that there is no absolute standard of morality, and such things are simply "potato - potahto" issues, punch him in the nose. When he recovers, he will ask why you did that to him, and tell you that it was wrong and unfair. Why would that be so, if there is no absolute standard? What does "unfair" mean? Or, to use the favorite word of the pro-aborts, punching him in the nose was simply your "choice". What's the big deal?
Obviously this hyperbolic example is not something to be tried at home, as the TV ads say, but the point is obvious. We all know that to punch someone in the nose for no reason is wrong. Again, there is no culture where you can walk up to someone and punch him in the nose and not expect a strong protest at minimum, and probably worse. Therefore, there is a moral law. So where did it come from?
Laws do not magically appear on the books. Even in the only one case that I can think of where that occurred, the tablets given to Moses on Mt. Sinai, those Commandments had a law Prescriber - God. The moral law is God's standard that is written on our hearts, because we are made in His image. As St. Paul says in Romans 2: 14ff, "For when the Gentiles who do not have the law by nature observe the prescriptions of the law, they are a law for themselves even though they do not have the law. They show that the demands of the law are written in their hearts."
Relativism, however, is a weak man's position. Progressives always use "tolerance" to introduce their wrong thinking. Initially, they claim that there is no absolute morality, and that their ideas are as valid as those that have been held for millennia and that are God-given. Eventually, however, as acceptance increases (and more rapidly if they are able to secure the coercive power of the government) they move on to substituting their own supposed "moral code", and enforcing it. At this point "right", such as a woman's "right" to an abortion and homosexuals' "right" to marry suddenly spring forth from nowhere. These newly-discovered rights are based on some notion of "fairness". If you do not agree with their new "moral code", then you are a "hater". Thus in some perverse logical twist Christians who follow the precepts of a loving God who gave us rules in order that we might flourish as His people are suddenly transformed into demons, at least in the eyes of the Left.
Relativists clearly have a notion of right and wrong. Ask them about the racism and genocide of a Hitler or other criminal despot, and they will rail against it. They believe firmly that this sort of behavior should not be allowed, and their promotion of hate speech legislation and their constant overreaction to innocent statements shows that they believe strongly in some standards. The problem is that they have no basis for their standards. They, like all of us, have the natural law written on their hearts, but they can choose to ignore it and substitute their own "morality". So, how does one decide which laws are part of the Natural Law and which are not? Ultimately, one has two sources of information as to which position to believe.
The first source is history and culture. The idea of homosexual marriage, for example, has never existed anywhere, and didn't exist contemporaneously prior to this new "revelation" of the progressives. Marriage has always been understood as being between a man and a woman, and for the purpose of having a family and raising children. Homosexuality has always existed, but the idea of a homosexual couple being "married" is a new aberration.
The other source, of course, is the Bible. We understand the Bible as the inspired Word of God, and it is clear that marriage is a sacred covenant between and man and a woman. A question to ask those who would say that they are atheists and do not believe in God or the Bible is, "OK, you want to replace religious and cultural norms that have existed for thousands of years. What do you want to replace them with? Your opinion? Why would that be more valid?"
Ultimately then, in order to be a progressive one must be an atheist. Without a belief in a moral code that is of divine origin, the progressive cannot logically justify his belief in "fairness", "human rights", or any of the other ideals he claims to espouse. Morality becomes simply a matter of opinion, and all opinions are equally valid. However, that position is untenable because he might get his nose punched, so he must substitute coercion, enforcement of his arbitrary new code, in order that people with varying opinions obey his precepts and become subordinate to his will. He must be in favor of hate speech laws, censorship of writing and the Internet, the "fairness" doctrine, marginalization of those who do not share progressive views, mandatory "sensitivity training", and so forth. Does this sound familiar?

Actually, Mike, to assert both/and thinking over and against either/or thinking with consistency is highly dualistic and falsifies reality. Jesus was at times holistic/inclusive (the invitation to salvation is universal) but dialectical/exclusive on other occasions (those who ignore the poor, the suffering, and the marginalized have no place in the kingdom of Heaven), depending on the truth of the matter at hand. A great many things in the world are indeed gray (e.g., social conventions), but not all; some things are black or white (e.g., adults seeking sexual gratification from children), but not all. Let's take care to make proper distinctions lest we unwittingly give aid & comfort moral relativists and others who serve the father of lies.

Mike, what I have said is one of the three classic laws of logic, called the "law of noncontradiction", which states that contradictory statements cannot both be true in the same sense at the same time, e.g. the two propositions "A is B" and "A is not B" are mutually exclusive. Dualism, on the other hand, is a philosophical construct that says that mental phenomena are, in some respects, non-physical, and that the mind and body are not identical. There is, therefore, a "consciousness" that cannot be reduced to a mere neurobiological phenomenon. This stands in contradistinction to materialism and other forms of monism. You might want to explore both logic and philosophy; they make fascinating reading and are the foundation of Western thought.

Here is the biggest problem with this piece: Progressives and traditional Christians cannot hold opposing views and both be right, anymore that Christians and Muslims or Buddhists can have different ideas of God and both be correct.
This either/or thinking that cannot hold tensions and paradox is called dualism. Dualistic thinking belongs to a doctrinaire and immature approach to religion. It is not of Christ; it is of the Pharisees. -

DLL, no doubt people will be getting fired. The "ideological shock squads" are being put in place as we speak, and some unions are lining up to get the "gay lobby" endorsement printed on their union cards, not to mention their anti-life lobby endorsements. Yes, and they do admit, when they are being honest, it is for political gain. So, in some places where these issues are being "obsessed" on, it may be the obsession of the relativists, who force the hand of their coworkers to merely speak the truth of it, even with love in their hearts, only to be considered hateful and unfair. To remains silent, would be to consent, so yes, be prepared to be fired.
But, Dr. L., how dare you bring up the Nazi stuff-you're breaking that unwritten rule, man! -

Relativism and progressive viewpoints exist to create a political agenda only. In the workplace it is non-existent. In order to work effectively,I can't think of any workplace that would tolerate a progressive or relative viewpoint as constructive policy. If you think it is,then plan to be fired and do not be surprised. In practicable applications,impracticality and flighty thinking,that is progressive and relative thinking in general,cannot work profitably.

I'll make something else now...
For the record I am indifferent to the software. I have no problem with people wanting to create animation with it for fun as long as those with loftier ambitions aren't letting their skills stagnate. I spent a lot of time with 3D movie maker as a kid because I didn't know how else I could create animation and I really wish I had discovered flash sooner. Brad Bird began his first animated film at 11 years old so you're never too young to start!
So please remember that my animated counterpart is a caricature in more ways than one; I didn't really jump on a horse when Skyrim was announced and I'm not about to go postal on someone who wants to use some gimmicky animation software, just consider the alternatives.

Here's some good news for a change: NBC has commissioned a full season order of Heroes, which is its highest-rated new program of the fall. Let's say "hey!" I'm delighted because this means my buddy, Milo Ventimiglia, who plays Peter on the series, will be gainfully employed for the rest of the season. I think now he can afford to take me to lunch to celebrate! (I'm happy for the kid!)

"Never saw him before." Ah, the things I do behind the kid's back!

In order to find the diamonds before Zeebad, they must climb icy mountains, navigate fiery pits of molten lava, sail across vast oceans and pass through a booby-trapped temple guarded by an army of ninja skeleton warriors. Along the way they learn that the most powerful weapon is their friendship ? which even Zeebad's evil magic cannot destroy.

The rooms were very clean, bed's were nice a soft. I wasn't too impressed with the Marriott verse a Best Western. But my friends insured me that this was a norm of a Marriott. Plenty of parking.

Tragic news hit the Oral Roberts University campus this weekend.
A former teacher and three recent graduates were killed when their small plane crashed outside Chanute, Kan., on Friday afternoon.
5/12/2012 Related Story: Kansas Plane Crash Claims Lives Of ORU Graduates, Former Teacher
The plane went down in a field, skidded a couple hundred feet, hit a tree and burst into flames.
Pilot Luke Sheets, Stephen Luth and Garrett Coble were all pronounced dead at the scene.
Austin Anderson was rushed to the hospital where he died Saturday morning.
Hannah Luce survived and is in serious but stable condition right now, with burns on 28 percent of her body.
The group was headed to Iowa for a conference with Teen Mania Ministries. Anderson and Luth had just been hired to work in marketing for the ministry.
Anderson's close friend said he was truly one of a kind.
"My name is Austin Anderson, and I'm a junior at ORU and I'm a sergeant in the Marine Corps."
That quote is just part of a powerful video of Anderson News On 6 found on Facebook. The video was produced by fellow ORU student Brook Ninowski.
"They truly encompass the ORU thing," Aubrey Crawford, Anderson's friend, said. "They went out into every man's world, and they helped everyone they came in contact with. They had a heart for people, and they will be missed."
Crawford was a close friend of Anderson's and she describes him as a man who always put others first.
And it shows in his actions by the heroic move he made right after the plane crashed.
"He got out, but he went to get Hannah out as well and that's how his lungs got burned," Crawford said. "He was on the ventilator, and they had to take him off the ventilator and he died this morning."
At just 27 years old, Anderson had accomplished a lot. He joined the Marine Corps after high school and served two tours in Iraq.
Just last week, Anderson graduated from Oral Roberts University.
"It was a lot of fun," Crawford said. "I sat next to Stephen and Austin on graduation day, and we had a blast."
Crawford never imagined that would be the last time she'd see her friends alive.
"It's hard," she said.
Crawford said Anderson and his girlfriend Elizabeth were planning to get married within the next year.
Elizabeth was also supposed to fly with the group to Iowa, but changed her mind and decided to drive. Her father later said he'd had a bad feeling about the plane.
"She's had a hard time, but everything will be okay," Crawford said.
In a statement, ORU President Mark Rutland said, "Please pray for all of the families that lost loved ones and for Hannah in the hospital."
The crash is still under investigation.

A person walking into the Humane Society, Animal League for Life of Madison County's adoption center Monday would've seen what appeared to be chaos — cat carriers and cages on the floor and stacked on shelves, volunteers bustling about and plaintive meows and loud barks echoing throughout the room.
There was a purpose to that chaos, HSALL board member Vicki Irwin said as she sat in a chair, softly stroking two calico kittens that were recovering from the affects of anesthesia. By the end of the fourth day of the clinic, more than 100 animals will have been spayed and neutered through the HSALL's new program, Irwin said.
"We are low-cost but high-quality," Irwin said.
The HSALL opened the clinic to the public Monday. Irwin said the goal is to have the clinic every other Monday and perform spay and neuter procedures on up to 36 animals each day.
However, Monday was technically the fourth day the spay and neuter clinic had been in operation. Irwin said the first three days, starting over the weekend, were spent doing operations on HSALL pets that are up for adoption and some of the local feral cat population.
Eighty-four dogs and cats had been spayed or neutered by the end of the third day, Irwin said.
Dr. Lori Fuller is conducting the surgeries. The veterinarian lives in Richmond but does not have her own practice. Instead, she devotes her time to holding low-cost spay and neuter clinics throughout central Kentucky, according to Irwin.
To neuter a male cat, the cost is $30, and female cats cost $40 to be spayed. Male dogs are $40, and female dogs cost $60.
The cost also covers rabies shots and core vaccines, according to Jessica Adams, the adoption center director.
A dog or cat must be at least 3 months old and weigh a minimum of 3 pounds in order to be spayed or neutered, Adams said.
If a person is interested in having a pet neutered or spayed at the clinic, the number to call is 626-5600. Callers are instructed to press menu option No. 2 to request more information or to reserve an appointment.
Adams said the messages are checked twice a day. A worker with HSALL will return the call to gather more information about the person's pet and set up an appointment, she said.
On the Mondays the clinic is conducted, the drop-off time is from 7:30 to 9 a.m. The clinic is at 128-C Big Hill Avenue, which is in the shopping center between Modern Dry Cleaners and M&M Drug Store.
Animals can be picked up later that day at 5 p.m.
"It's a same-day process," Adams said.
Customers are given a phone number to call if there are any follow-up issues after the surgery. Adams said the clinic does not provide emergency care, but Dr. Fuller will advise the customer whether to seek care at a local veterinarian's office.
The clinic is funded completely through donations, including funds raised through the recent HSALL golf tournament, Irwin said. The group does make a profit from each of the surgeries, but that money is re-invested into the animal welfare nonprofit's programs, she added.
Sarah Hogsed can be reached at email@example.com or 624-6694.

Photographing Light Trails In The Car - Get in your car (make sure someone else is driving) and shoot some light trails.
Clean Screen
Before you set off make sure the inside and outside of the windscreen is very clean because smears can ruin your final image. For the same reason you may want to avoid rainy evenings unless you want smeary colours and your wipers going.Set-Up
You need to fix the camera, with a wide-angle lens on a tripod into the passenger seat well or back seat of the car. Whatever you do, make sure the tripod is fixed securely before setting off. This is not to stop vibration - which is inevitable - but to stop the camera smashing itself as the tripod topples over as you drive along. You can use a full-sized tripod but something like a Gorillapod is also worth considering. You can even use a beanbag if your car has a sizeable parcel shelf. Whichever approach you take is obviously down to the car itself as well as the sort of shots you want to take.For example, you can have the camera positioned so you can see all of the windscreen through the viewfinder and don't worry if you get too much of the roof or dashboard in as you can crop these out later, but it is good to give the light trails something to contrast against.
Focus, Composition And Exposure
Focus on the distance - you want the lights sharp ideally. Check the composition and set an aperture that will give you a good depth-of-field to render the dashboard as sharp as possible as well as allow a lengthy shutter speed. ISO100 is best and will give a slow shutter speed that will give you a 10-30 second exposure to capture the light trails perfectly.You will have to do some tests to see what suits the lighting conditions and the effect you are after. In a brightly lit town soon after sunset, a 20 second exposure is fine but you might need much longer exposure on a dark dual carriageway. Use a remote trigger, cable release or self-timer to fire the shutter. If you want to use long shutter speeds, use the B setting and, ideally you will have a release that will let you hold the shutter open.
When And Where
For this technique, twilight is a good time and you need a location with a variety of light sources. A mixture of traffic lights, shop lights and street lights will give you different colours and streaks at a variety of levels. While lights on the motorway will give you long, continuous streaks of light, going to a variety of lit places and taking many, many images is the key to this fun technique.White Balance
For white balance, use AWB. Colours are going to be all over the place anyway, so start with AWB and try incandescent if you want less warm images.Explore More

I'll start:
Yesterday, my husband and I went to a Ford dealership that we've bought cars/trucks from before. We saw a beautiful 2013 Grand Cheerokie 4x4 and we fell in love. They were asking $45,400.00 for it so I told the salesman that the MSRP is only $39,000.00 because the 2014 were already out. His reply was, "make me an offer", so I said, "$35,000.00 cash, right now. Well, of course he said, "I have to talk to my boss". When he came back, he said, "no". I gave him my business card and told him to call me tomorrow (which was today) if they changed their mind. This morning, I get a call from them saying they'll give it to me for $38,000.000, and I said, "I gave you my offer, don't call me again unless you can take it". Two hours later, he called back and said, "ok". Oh well, so I go down there (now husband is out golfing) tell him I want it in black to match my motorhome and he says, "no problem". We get into the credit dept. and I see it says $38,000.00 to be financed. WTF, does this guy not want to make a deal or commission? I finally told them (after haggling for 1/2 hour) where to shove it. Told them after 7 vehicles (and the one I'm driving) that I will NEVER do business with them again.
An hour later, I went to the Jeep Dealership and got a great deal on a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4X4 with all the bells and whistles for only $38,000.00 cash out the door. Of course, anyone that know me also knows that I drove over to the Ford dealership to show them my great deal!
Oh yeah, and it's black. Husband won't be happy but oh well, he should have been there!

We bought the junior super car with hot lap for our sons 13th. He had a fantastic day. He drove a Lamborghini and then had a high speed lap in one as a passenger. The day was well organised and we'd definitely recommend it to adults and juniors. The only criticism I had was I felt the hot lap should have been 2 laps because when starting out and slowing down to come back in, there wasn't much high speed to enjoy. For what you are paying, I don't think this is too much to ask. We were… Read Full Review

I have always dreamt about driving a supercar, 6th Gear Experience has made my dream come true. I am so thankful to my girlfriend for the gift, it truly was an experience. I had the supercar treble thrill at Longcross in Chertsey (Surrey) and the passenger ride. I got to drive the Ferrari 360 Modena, the Gallardo LP560 and the V8 Aston Martin Vantage, for three laps each. The passenger drive took place in the Ford Focus RS, it was surprisingly fast and furious enough. The organisation was very… Read Full Review

Ariel Atom Supercharged 2 laps at Longcross. What can I say? Astonishing vehicle, no restrictions on how I drove it and constant encouragement from my instructor Russ to plant my foot to the floor at every available opportunity. Amazing instructor, made me feel instantly at ease and very lively - to him the more I pushed the car the better... I truely got a feel for the Atom every bit as good as the Clarkson video.

Earlier this year, my boyfriend and I spent the day at the 6th gear experience. I watched and he drove. It was very disorganised. He also bought from the desk a USB to record his driving experience, but on one of the drives, the power cable fell out and didn't record anything. The instructor said there was nothing he could do. I was appalled at the fact he bought that USB for the main reason of recording his drives, which he didn't get to do. After complaining about his drive not being… Read Full Review

I just purchased Photoshop Elements 11, but realized too late that my Mac doesn't meet the minimum system requirements for installation. I have a Mac OS X 10.5.8, but require 10.6. How can I exchange Elements 11 for Elements 10, now that I've already paid?
I doubt anyone in this forum can give you the definitive answer on that, probably just bad news that you should have used the trial before buying, etc.... though I may be wrong.
I don't believe Adobe sells previous versions, so you may not be able to buy the older version thru them. As far as getting a refund, I don't know if that's possible either, but the folks who will know/decide that are the ones you need to talk with.
Try starting with chat and see if someone there can direct you to a better contact... http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html
Contact Adobe.
If your hardware can run it, it's may be cheaper to upgrade your OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard then to Mountain Lion 10.8.
The Mountain Lion upgrade apprently requires Snow Leopard first.

Taking the mystery out of Olive Oil
Posted Sep 02 2009 10:22pm
What does the Label say?
Olive oil vendors choose the wording on their labels very carefully.
"100% Pure Olive Oil" is often the lowest quality available in a retail store: better grades would have "virgin" on the label.
"Made from refined olive oils" means that the taste and acidity were chemically controlled.
"Light olive oil" means refined olive oil, with less flavour.
"From hand-picked olives" implies that the oil is of better quality, since producers harvesting olives by mechanical methods are inclined to leave olives to over-ripen in order to increase yield.
"First cold press" is generally a purely commercial wording with no factual meaning. It suggests that the oil in bottles with this label is the "first oil that came from the first press" of the olives and that no heat is used. This is incorrect.
First of all, "cold" does not define any precise temperature. A certain exception is made for the European regulation which requires that the processing temperature be below 27 °C in order to be named "cold pressed". In cooler regions like Tuscany or Liguria the olives collected in November and ground often at night are too cold to be processed efficiently without heating. The paste is regularly heated above the environmental temperatures, which may be as low as 10-15 °C, in order to extract the oil efficiently with only physical means. Olives pressed in warm regions like Southern Italy or Northern Africa may be pressed at significantly higher temperatures although not heated. While it is important that the pressing temperatures be as low as possible (generally below 35 °C) there is no international reliable definition of "cold pressed".
Furthermore there is no "second" press of virgin oil, so the term "first press" is meaningless.
The label may indicate that the oil was bottled or packed in a stated country. This does not necessarily mean that the oil was produced there. The origin of the oil may sometimes be marked elsewhere on the label; it may be a mixture of oils from more than one country.
Remember the words
Monounsaturated fat. These are the healthy fats, but remember FAT IS FAT. Their are about 125 calories per tablespoon So....TAKE IT EASY.

Rock of Ages, now available on DVD from Tesco Entertainment, is a flick that pushes the barriers of musicals further. In this film about the days of hair metal you won't find the composure of The Sound of Music or the glitter of Grease, but rather the subversive magic of the 1980s in LA and all the excesses of their "sex, drugs & rock and roll" culture. Singing and dancing to the rhythm of Bon Jovi, Guns N Roses and Def Leppard, the cast of Rock of Ages is purely made of all-stars: the likes of Tom Cruise, Mary J Blige, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Russell Brand will soon have you tapping your feet as you enjoy one of the most exciting musicals of recent years

3 Steps to Starting That Rainy-Day Fund You Can't Seem to Start
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- First to go was the Christmas Club accounts -- savings vehicles banks offered to customers so they'd have money set aside for holiday shopping.
Now what's slipping away is the venerable "rainy day" fund -- savings vehicles that guaranteed a household would have cash in an emergency such as a job loss or serious health issue.
Global consumers are increasingly turning their backs on emergency savings funds just as the economic evidence suggest they need it most.
According to London-based Lloyds Bank, 36% of U.K. consumers say they have no rainy-day fund, and another 31% say they're not saving any money at all.
The drought seems to be across the board, but it's consumers between the ages of 25 and 54 that are really pulling back on emergency savings. The Lloyds Bank Savings Index reports that only 40% of that demographic have a rainy-day fund equal to more than one month worth of household income. That won't go far in the event of a financial catastrophe, and consumers know it. In fact, the Lloyds data point to an interesting contradiction: 88% of U.K. adults say that having a rainy-day fund is important, yet only 49% say they have enough to cover basic life needs in the event of an emergency. Of those who say they haven't saved any cash in the past year, 43% have a simple but somewhat chilling explanation there is no money left in the household budget at the end of the month. "Many consumers are still feeling the squeeze; this means they don't have the spare money to put into savings," says Andy Bickers, savings director at Lloyds Bank. "However, it is encouraging to see that the vast majority of people feel that it is important to save regularly, and the amount of people saving has remained stable again this quarter." Financial consumers looking to launch a rainy-day fund should: Pay yourself first. Take 5% of your paycheck and put into an emergency savings account -- before you pay bills. If you don't make it a priority, you'll have problems getting a rainy-day fund off the ground. Use a "passive" fund. Banks don't pay decent interest on savings accounts (the BankingMyWay Weekly Rate Tracker pegs the current average U.S. savings account interest rate at 0.067%), but a passively managed mutual fund or exchange-traded fund filled with stable companies can give you a much higher rate of return with minimal fee expenses. Save your change. Start taking all of your loose pocket change, and all your change from those $10 or $20 cash purchases, and stash it in a jar -- and don't touch the cash. You can also save change from your debit card. Bank of America (BAC), for example, offers a "Keep the Change" program in which it rounds off the remaining change from a debit card purchase and steers it automatically into your savings account. It's no secret savings is all about discipline, but a healthy dash of creativity will help. If you apply both, you can beat the odds and bring your rainy-fund back to life.Select the service that is right for you!

I just tend to think that if google ranks pages on some combination of factors: One of those factors is likely PageRank, and one could be another factor that only some sites have. This factor is calculated once in a while (like pagerank seems to be). If you don't have it calculated, you can't compete with a site that does because that coefficient is not insignificant. Could it be that sites that SEEM to get out of the box, just have higher coeficients in other parameters that overcome the lack of the mysterious sandbox variable? This is along the same lines as what I was thinking about with the sandbox too. I would guess that whatever is being batch calculated is something related to the domain as a whole. Since whole domains were affected, but only if they were new. Many speculate that LSI was involved in Allegra, mostly, as I understand it, in regards to the incoming links. Maybe they were calculating something LSI related with all the links coming into a domain, not just a per page thing. Or looking at an entire domain for duplicate content between pages on that same domain. Or something else entirely, but something that couldn't be calculated for new domains quickly. Maybe it is not so much that they were batched, just that it took a long time. Especially if it were something new they were looking at and had to first calculate it for all existing domains first. That could cause a delay in them even getting around to doing this with new domains. Meanwhile, new domains got a score that was something close to a zero for one of the factors. That made it nearly impossible to rank for anything competitive. The only way around it, as jcoronella said, would be to score extremely high on one of the other factors. So if you know how to get around the sandbox, then that should give you an idea of what at least one of the others factors is and how strongly it plays into the algo as a whole.
...except that it has to do with some part of the algo that is updated in one batch.

I am so sad to hear of Marion's passing. Jane, I don't know if you remember me, I worked at the Redwood City Almanac and then the Country Almanac in the '80's. I don't know what made me look up the Almanac today. I'm glad I did. I think about all those I worked with back then often. I know that her son, Ed, preceded her in death. I hope they are together somewhere. I do hope it was not a long illness. Thank you for writing this memorial. I will be thinking of her and the rest of her family.

definitely. he's a very smooth and opaque character. the joker, the poker player, the actor, the secret agent. he always is the man with the plan and everyone gets in step behind him. remember in red menace when he gives the murdered mob lawyer's insecure son a driving lesson and he says (something like) everyone's a nerd, i mean, i am.
then in red sails in the sunset, when lorelei got back in the car finally, the way he had this big nerdy grin. the way she was so sarcastic with him. how she called the shots. i think we do see the real patrick with lorelei. not that he's always acts like a loser around her. but he can't mould her behavior and sometimes he has to dance to her tune. that's why i love her, we get to see him in a totally different way. and he's sweet and patient and empathic and gallant and vulnerable and honorable.
hi mimi.
teresa is cute when she's mad. she was so relieved to have him back. and she was angry and scared at how much control he has over her. he also doesn't spend any time thinking about whether he made her mad. he didn't mean to hurt her. he knows he can always run back across the burning bridge.
about the Guardian, I guess once you have seen TM, nothing really compares to it, I guess if I'd watched the Guradian before, I'd have liked it more. Simon played Nick brilliantly and there were great scenes, loved how he looked at Lulu in his gf's living room at night, she's eating a cookie and he's just eating her with his eyes, was a cute scene. I liked the story with the little girl that Nick's dad decides to be the caretaker for. etc.. but what I missed in it was this happy vibe, this humor that we can find in other shows.
hi all
yes I think Jane heard her in the church but he probably took it well because to me it sounded like I hate you you're so irritating but not I hate you get the hell out of here. It was a I love you hate you.
That said, for sure Jane realised he went too far, he'll surely make up for it soon :-) and I'll lick my screen when that happens!
@rationalgal simon does develop wonderful tics and habits for his characters. the way patrick flicks his palm over his vest. the way he rubs his thumb over his fingertips. the cocky little cagney walk. the way he leads with his head when he makes a turn or wants to usher someone along with him.
jane was wriggling out of church when lisbon said i hate you. so he heard it. don't know if there was a link to the bear hug in her office. now i'm counting patrick hugging teresa instances. redemption - when he asked to rejoin the unit. crimson hat - good luck, teresa. red dawn - when he's been hired, he says thanks. she doesn't hug back.
other jane hugs. jason cooper in red barn. the sheriff in red gold. linus wagner in the pilot. the paralegal who got shot in red alert. probably others.

Okay. I've seen numerous articles that the origin of seasons 5 & 6 being renewed together comes from a tweet from an exiting writer and the information is not reliable. Seems like websites like TV Line, TV by the Numbers, Deadline, Cancelation Bear, Huffington Post, et cetera would know of this deal. I would think. And if they do know of the deal, then they would be falsely insisting that The Mentalist is in danger of cancellation, right? I hope your articles are correct. I sincerely do. Anyway, thanks for responding. Have a good evening, night, morning... And, take care.
Just one more mention of The Guardian. I highly recommend it, even tho a bit depressing, just to see how well Simon can embody any character he plays. I never see Simon in any of his films, only the character he creates. Many other acters just play themselves with different clothes and settings, tho they do a good job of that. Simon actually becomes the character down to speech patterns, body movements, facial expressions, general mannerisms. He doesn't even look quite the same, tho I can never tell just what the difference is. Anyone who plans to be an actor should watch how Simon does it. Brilliant!! You can see Simon as himself in that Paley Center video and he is totally different from any character he has played. Amazing!
