DIY Macrame Bracelet - Honestly WTF. Growing up by the beach in Southern California, the ability to knot a macrame bracelet was practically a right of passage.
Although those days are long behind us, we've never forgotten the ever-so-simple square knot technique. This time, however, we're replacing hemp and wooden beads for more updated elements like colorful nylon cord and glossy metal charms. Happy knotting! You'll need: Start by cutting the knotting cord into two 30 inch, two 20 inch and one 10 inch lengths. Perfect Summer Bangle. Here's a fun tutorial on how to make a message bangle that's one-of-a-kind, done in the sun, waterproof and weatherproof.
Even after several trips to the beach, it won't fade or wash off! Essentially, it's the Perfect Summer Bangle. The DIY: FISHTAIL FRIENDSHIP (BRACELET) If you know how to do a fishtail braid to your hair, then you pretty much know how to make this bracelet.
But for those of you who don't know about the fishtail and those of you who are curious about the logistics of my specific bracelet, well, read on! You will need embroidery/ friendship thread in various colors, some tape and a bead! Re-Vamp your Friendship Bracelets!
No, this tutorial does not have you making any type of designer DIY!
It's a simple tutorial to make cool the-dye friendship braided bracelets. I came up with this idea when trying to get a more dainty tie-dye effect, instead of just using those thick strands of embroidery floss. This tutorial is simple, but just a bit tedious. DIY Braided T-Shirt Bracelets. YARN BRACELET DIY! See the updated version of this project here!
This was one of my favorite crafts to make because it is really relaxing just like knitting and crocheting! This is just like making one of those paracord bracelets, except with yarn. Jersey Knit Bracelet. I don't know what it is about this time of year that makes me just want to have my bare feet in the sand, be watching the sun setting into the ocean, and breathing in the warm salty air of the beach...as i get older, more and more i find myself missing that place i used to go to almost every.single.day. as a teen.
(my skin doesn't miss it. as a matter of fact, i now wish i listened more and DID put SPF on my face...hindsight is 20/20). my mom calls me from her walk on the beach almost every morning... *sigh*yeah, i get a little homesick around this time of the year. heck on my pinterest my "dreaming of summer" has the most pictures in it. ah yes. i miss my ocean. case in point. this bracelet, brought a flood of memories, not because i used to have one like it but because i can totally see me wearing it by the beach, not caring that it's gotten salty and wet, because i can totally make another one in like less than 5 minutes flat when i get home.
Wrap Bracelet. You should all know by now that we are all about stacking bracelets on our wrists.
The more, the better. In fact . . . the most, the best! With that being said, we'll show you how to master a version of the ever so popular wrap bracelet. It's so simple and addicting, you'll soon be churning out these wristlets with your eyes closed.

Accountability, Conduct and Ethics Commission
Article XI. Accountability, Conduct and Ethics § 1.11-1101. Code of Accountability, Conduct and Ethics § 1.11-1102. Accountability, Conduct and Ethics Commission
The Accountability, Conduct and Ethics Commission, or ACE Commission, was established to provide a vehicle for the receipt and investigation of complaints regarding alleged unethical behavior by County officials and employees. Any citizen, whether a County employee or not, can file a complaint with the Commission. If the Commission determines it has jurisdiction, it will investigate the matter.
The Ethics Code emphasizes that County officials and employees must always act in the public interest and not serve their own personal interests or gain. This is the overall thrust of the Ethics Code. Among other things, employees must act with integrity, respect confidentiality, not discriminate, treat every group the same as any other, not solicit gifts, not use County mail for personal reasons, and disclose their financial interests. In order to encourage citizens and employees, the Ethics Code protects whistleblowers and maintains confidentiality in its proceedings until and unless a final order is issued.
If there is a finding of wrongdoing, the ACE Commission can recommend penalties to County Council. The penalties range from a written admonition through suspension and/or dismissal.
The ACE Commission was first appointed in December, 2002, and consists of five members, each serving terms of five years.

The Nonsense Hall of
Fame |
A Toast from
Maybe one day theyll teach humor-writing in university. Curriculum
should start with Alice in Wonderland. Finish with Robert
Benchley's autobiography:
Personally, I would rather have written
Alice in Wonderland than the whole Encyclopedia Britannica.
- Stephen Leacock
About Alice in
Wonderland, Robert Benchley wrote, Of course, it is true that many
present-day situations have parallels in the situations of the Alice
books, but I like to believe that this is not because Carroll put sense
into his nonsense but because the present-day situations are sheer
nonsense in themselves. Why monkey around with Nonsense? It can stand well
enough on its own feet.

Fresh: Ms. Keaton projects her wondrously warm personality, and the erstwhile Jake Gittes keeps us entertained with a sense of irony that keeps things from getting too sticky.
- Andrew Sarris, New York Observer, Thursday, January 8, 2004
Rotten: Something's Gotta Give is exactly the kind of 'adult' dreck that you'd expect to see on Broadway.
- Charles Taylor, Salon.com, Saturday, December 13, 2003
Fresh: While the film won't drive you delirious with suspense about where it's going, the journey is pleasant enough.

Audience Reviews
As a playwright, I am offended by the vapid revenge play Diane Keaton's character, Erica Barry, a "successful playwright," writes. Personal issues aside, the characters lack any true motivation. They just play a game of romantic musical chairs. Oh Keanu Reeves. Just don't open your mouth, and you're fine.
- aliceinpunderland, Monday, October 11, 2010
Jack Nicholson is a phonoemenal actor and he was so funny and entertaining in this movie and so was Diane Keaton. One of my favorite parts was when Nicholson saw Keaton naked. Adore this movie!!! See it!!! I love this movie!!!! Its just great. :) Just wonderful :) I love Jack! :)

I am so tired of seeing Guy Feiri 's "Diners Drive-in and Dives" over and over again from six in the evening until three in the morning. No program is that interesting. Guy can really cook so why not show more of his cooking.
Congratulations to all. Love Food Network and Guy Fieri is the best !!
Top-notch post it really is surely. My friend has been awaiting for this content.
Hi there, I found your web site by the use of Google at the same time as searching for a comparable matter, your site got here up, it appears to be like good. I have bookmarked to my favourites|added to bookmarks.
Thanks a bunch for sharing this with all folks you really recognise what you're speaking about! Bookmarked. Please also visit my website =). We may have a hyperlink trade arrangement among us
Very exciting that Guy Fieri was in the OBX while our family was on vacation. My entire family watches his show and he has such a winning personality. We even saw him walking on the beach on Friday and he let me snap a picture with he and my granddaughter. Know he was inundated with requests but very gracious to let me snap the picture. What a nice man. Sincerely Joan, a Food Network fan.
I wish that Food Network would put on Alton Brown's show more…
I agree with the comments regarding the changes in the FNC. I love Claire Robinson, and they use to have the best Saturday morning line-up. I always get up early and couldn't wait to watch. Now its the same people over and over! Guy Fieri, Giada, Paula, Rachel or Bobby Flay. While I like a couple of them, I am sick of seeing them over and over. I also have curbed my tv viewing of FN. Tyler Florence used to be on Saturday mornings and I loved his show! I have to check out the Cooking Channel for his old shows that I may not have seen. VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!

Washington Post TV writer Lisa de Moraes' report (2/6/09) on a Barack Obama speech planned for networks' cherished prime-time hours gives plenty of room to TV executives' grievances–namely, Obama is going on national TV to talk about the economic crisis–during primetime, when some of their best shows are on! "His economic stimulus package apparently does not extend to the TV networks," she quotes one executive.
"Notice they're not going on Friday or Saturday," one network exec complained. "They're . . . preempting our better shows. You're not happy to lose a House if you are Fox, or two of the better comedies at CBS, or The Bachelor at ABC–we're all going to take a bath."
Absent from de Moraes' piece is any recollection of these same corporate broadcasters' recent glee over certain 2008 weeks in which Obama ad-spending exceeded the entire Bush ad budget for 2004–let alone any review of how TV abused the responsibility concomitant with this windfall; see FAIR's magazine Extra!: "Top Troubling Tropes of Campaign '08: The Media-Created Narratives That Derail Election Coverage" (11-12/08) by Peter Hart

Department extends mercury drop off campaign in Southeast Missouri
Ice Storm Recovery Prompts Extension
For more information: 573-751-1010
Volume 37-057 For Immediate Release: March 11, 2009
JEFFERSON CITY, MO, -- Due to the recent ice storm, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources is extending its mercury collection program in southeast Missouri through March 13.
In an effort to help Missourians properly dispose of items containing mercury, the Department, working with fire departments and county health offices throughout the region, will continue to provide collection stations so that citizens may drop off unwanted mercury through March 13. The campaign, originally scheduled to conclude Feb. 28, was extended because of the ice storm that struck in late January.
Any private citizen or non-profit agency can leave mercury-containing items, like thermometers, blood pressure cuffs, thermostats or switches, at any of these collection sites.
Mercury, a shiny, silver-gray liquid metal, is a hazardous material and exposure to mercury is toxic to the nervous system, lungs, and kidneys by routes of inhalation, ingestion, and absorption. Exposure typically results when mercury containing items break in the household, releasing mercury and contaminating the living space. Proper cleanup of the spilled area requires removing and discarding contaminated household items, ventilation of the home, and air monitoring to ensure the cleanup was successful -- a costly and time consuming process for both the Department and the homeowner.
Anyone seeking to dispose of items at these sites should first secure the item in two zip top bags and then place it in a sealed container (such as a coffee can or plastic margarine tub). The extra packaging prevents a mercury release if the item breaks while being transported.
The list of drop off sites in southeast Missouri is included below. Please call the site before taking mercury instruments for disposal, and never leave items if the facility is closed.
The Department of Natural Resources will collect the dropped off items at the end of the program and transport them to Jefferson City. They will be picked up by a state contractor, who will recycle what can be recycled and properly dispose of the rest.
Anyone who is uncomfortable with transporting mercury instruments, or who has large quantities of mercury, may contact the Department's Environmental Emergency Response spill line at 573-634-2436 to arrange to have items picked up.
The program does not include compact fluorescent bulbs. A fact sheet detailing the proper disposal of CFLs is available on the Department's website: http://www.dnr.mo.gov/pubs/pub2273.htm.
A total of 24 facilities in southeast Missouri are participating in the mercury drop off program. Unless otherwise noted, their office hours are 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Friday:

Sources: Cowboys activate Ware cap clause
FEB 27, 2013 7:20p ET
A change in Witten's contract could give Dallas more than $2 million of room. A source said a Carr lever would save "substantially more" than that in space. The Ware moves provides about $4 million in room ... But none of this is about the "generosity" of the player. These "levers" being pulled change non-guaranteed money into guaranteed bonuses - in Ware's case, a check for $5 million.
This represents creativity on Dallas' part, but it's also a series of "credit-card" moves that can eventually damage the team's ability to assemble and pay a contending-caliber roster. Immediately, however, the Cowboys view themselves as "close." They are therefore willing to pay the guarantees as a way to chop away the $20 million they are presently over the cap.
A different sort of negotiations will ensue with other Cowboys like Doug Free, Jay Ratliff, Miles Austin And others who may be asked to take pay cuts in order to remain with the team.
A third and most important level of negotiations is also coming for quarterback Tony Romo. The Cowboys can make room by giving Romo an extension, with plans this offseason to have him under contract for four or five more seasons.

Since divorcing Lamar Odom, Khloe Kardashian has been rumored to be dating a number of rappers. Though some reports have been shut down, a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that Khloe is still optimistic about finding love.
The road to motherhood sure hasn't been an easy one for Khloe Kardashian. Though she has recently divorced her hubby Lamar Odom after 4 years of marriage, a source tells Hollywoodlife.com EXCLUSIVLEY that the youngest Kardashian sister is not losing all hope.
Khloe Kardashian Ready To Move On After Lamar Odom
Khloe has always been the stronger Kardashian sister, and she always knows how to land on her feet.
A source close to the KUWTK star is now showing that in true Khloe nature, the starlet is moving on.
"She's a vibrant young woman who deserves every happiness the world has to offer," the source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. Though life has not been kind to this sassy Kardashian, she is still very happy for her sisters, who are both in stable relationships and have children.
"She's really happy for Kim," the source continues, "there's no jealousy or envy at all."

"One day, Khloe too will be able to have this moment for herself and when she does marry and and become a mother, you will see a brand new, all around complete and satisfied Khloe," she finished. This comes as no surprise, of course. Khloe is constantly doting on her little nieces and nephew!
Khloe Kardashian Reportedly Dating French Montana
New reports recently surfaced stating that Khloe is dating Morrocan-born rapper French Montana.
The two have reportedly become "inseperable" and the "Ain't Worried Bout Nothin'" rapper has allegedly been hanging around Khloe's new home, which she bought from Justin Bieber.
The rumors have since been shut down however.
Another source told Hollywoodlife.com, "Nobody is occupying her time in a romantic way and yes, she's good friends with Frenchie but it's strictly platonic and in no way romantic."

I can only say maybe what she will do is REMARRY LAMAR ODOM,AND she will start her fertilization treatments to have his baby.LOL Khloe, will remarry Lamar Odom, and if she doesn't who really cares at this point it is what it is.

JCU WMN – Women's Mentoring + Networking
The John Carroll University Cleveland Alumni Chapter is pleased to launch a new professional development and networking group specifically geared to female professionals in our area – JCU WMN: Women's Mentoring and Networking.
JCU WMN is designed to connect alumnae throughout Northeast Ohio to networking, mentoring and business development opportunities. Unlike traditional one-on-one mentoring programs, JCU WMN will be based on the concept of mentoring circles, which will include several mentors and mentees in each group. This approach will provide some structure to the mentee/mentor relationships, but also leaves more opportunity for relationship building than a traditional linear mentee/mentor program might offer. To learn more about the program, please click here. If you are interested in participating, please click here to fill out the short application.
I hope you share my excitement for how the JCU WMN program can positively impact area alumnae who share a common bond through our experiences at John Carroll. Our team is very excited about the potential professional and personal relationships we can help effect. That said, the program is still taking shape, so we're certainly interested in your feedback, suggestions or committee help. Please feel free to contact me at email@example.com with any ideas you may have.
We look forward to connecting you with some amazing alumnae…
Lisa Zone '98

Being Young and Irish 2012
On Saturday, 17th November President Michael D. Higgins will hold the first of his Presidency Seminars at Áras an Uachtaráin. The theme of this first seminar is Being Young and Irish 2012. Over 700 young people have contributed to Being Young and Irish 2012 since its launch in May of this year.
100 young people, representing young people who took part in four regional Being Young and Irish 2012 workshops hosted by the President in September, will attend this final part of the consultation and a seminar in Áras an Uachtaráin on Saturday, 17th November. The day will culminate with young people presenting the 'Take Charge of Change' declaration to the President and his invited guests.
Representatives of the Department of the Taoiseach and various other Government departments and State agencies are expected to be amongst the invited audience at the seminar.
In his inaugural address almost a year ago President Higgins said;
"During my Presidency, I also intend to hold a number of Presidency Seminars which may reflect and explore themes important to our shared life yet separate and wider than legislative demand, themes such as the restoration of trust in our institutions, the ethical connection between our economy and society, the future of a Europe built on peace, social solidarity and sustainability.
The first of these seminars will focus on being young in Ireland."
Earlier this year the President invited young people to tell him about their vision for Ireland and how that vision might be achieved. He invited them to do that in whatever format they preferred, be it through prose, poetry, song, video and/or audio. Young people responded with enthusiasm and submitted their proposals to the President via the website www.president.ie and by post.
Following the sending out of this invitation the President ran four regional workshops with young people; in Dublin, Cork, Monaghan and Galway. On each of four consecutive Saturdays in September the President met with young people at the commencement of a day working with a team of professional facilitators as they set out to explore and discuss their ideas around Ireland's future.
439 young people took part in the online and postal consultation while 294 young people attended the regional workshops. A team of DIT researchers is currently analysing the online, postal and face to face contributions from young people and compiling the Being Young and Irish 2012 Report. The report, which will be published on www.president.ie and delivered to the appropriate Government authorities and agencies will form the basis for a final 'Take Charge of Change' Declaration which will be presented by young people on Saturday, 17th November.
The Being Young and Irish 2012 Presidency seminar will run from 10am to 5.30pm in the Hyde Room at Áras an Uachtaráin.

A Point of View: Why every household should have its own currency
As micro-currencies try to usurp traditional government-issued money, Adam Gopnik wonders whether families could benefit from minting their own coins.
Money is pieces of paper with pictures of people on them, a wise child once said, and she was right. Whose face should be on our money, far from being a secondary, cosmetic question, turns out to be a big one. I knew, for instance, that the Euro was in crisis the first time I ever saw a euro. It was the only insipid currency ever printed. There was nothing on each denomination except a bridge or arch, no pictures of people at all - and then not even an actual European celebrity bridge, the Rialto in Venice or the Pont Neuf in Paris, but a limp generic representation of a limp generic bridge. No one - not billy goats or trolls or any of the other denizens of the actual European imagination - could live under such bridges.

- A Point of View is usually broadcast on Fridays on Radio 4 at 20:50 GMT and repeated Sundays, 08:50 GMT
- Adam Gopnik writes for The New Yorker
The continent that gave the world the inquisition and the telescope and the sonnets of Petrarch was reduced to the symbol of a melancholy arch presiding over a melancholy land that lay nowhere and had no folk. Not Goethe or Leonardo or Johan Cruyff - not even such consensus Europeans as Tintin and the Captain were allowed to show their faces on the euro (although I suppose Herge's questionable politics made even that impossible). The absence of common heroes showed, more eloquently than any number of charts or graphs, that the eurozone had been linked together by fiat more than common feeling. I was also pretty sure that the euro would survive anyway, since if there is one thing you learn about French high functionaries it's that what they insist on having happen, happens, and reality be damned.
And so the imagery, the iconography, of money is more than just decor. It displays the true convictions of the commonwealth that intends to support its value. We put presidents on our money here in the US because, despite their obvious deficiencies, we make a papacy of the presidency, and treat it as a semi-divine state. You over there, I know, have been debating who to put next on your money, on the flip side to the Queen. I liked seeing Charles Darwin on the £10 note, and although I certainly approve of the final choice of Jane Austen, I still think that you will discover dangers to having an ironist on your money (I grew up in Canada, where we keep the Queen's picture on our money too - and there is, I will say, something odd about a genial lady ageing on the currency, with lines and liver spots).
It's natural that money comes to represent our common life. In so many ways, it is our common life. In the best sense, it's a confidence game. The idea of money began, after all, when some early man or woman first realised that instead of lugging around the portable property that had value - seashells or gold nuggets or the like - you could simply carry tokens that stood for that property. Then the other early men and women had to learn to trust that the portable property was really back there, in the cave. It was left to modern man and woman to see that you could have the tokens without even having the portable property they once stood for. Now the tokens are so many removes from the property that what money stands for is really the full faith and confidence of the people that print it - essentially, pounds and dollars and euros are IOUs from the army and navy, promising that our accumulated common goods won't be looted by Vikings or Vandals.
Now, for the first time, we have a sudden boom in micro-currencies, issued by notional nations or even neighbourhoods, and we also have for the first time what are sometimes called crypto-currencies, Bitcoin being the most famous - and so the government-money nexus seems in serious doubt. As I grasp the concept of these micro-currencies and crypto-currencies, it is essentially that the value of money need no longer be guaranteed by the nation state. A roving network of internet users can rely instead entirely on each other to ensure the value of the tokens. This idea doesn't fill me with confidence, but then, I'm the man who doesn't even tweet. In the new virtual world, you can use an agreed crypto-currency to buy and sell while avoiding the government altogether - a particularly good idea if you happen yourself to be, so to speak, a Vandal or a Viking.
The future of micro-currencies seems to me more or less unlimited, since the central economic insight I've gained over the years is not that governments are more or less like households, but that households are all more or less like small states - which, like actual governments, tend to pitch two essentially irrational economic theories against one other.
More from the Magazine
- Bitcoin has been soaring in value over the past year - but is the surge driven by media hype, asks Vanessa Barford (December 2013)
- Carefully guarded in the Bank of England's vaults are a small number of £1m and £100m banknotes - Chris Bowlby investigates (January 2013)
I live in a household, for instance, that has its own economic policy - or rather two of them. One was invented by my wife, Martha, and the other is my own. Marthanomics, as they're known, are strictly speaking a subdivision of the underlying field of Marthamatics, the theory by which two and two might make four but might as well make six, since how much bigger is six than four really? In this way, if something costs half as much again as you thought it would, it costs the same as you thought it would.
Marthanomics extends this principle. The writer Calvin Trillin used to say of his late wife, the wonderful Alice, that she believed that any extravagant purchase considered even for a moment should be considered money saved for spending later. Marthanomics simplifies this principle with the efficiency of genius - all money spent is money saved. Either the thing you are spending on will be so much more expensive tomorrow that it would be criminal not to buy it today - or else the thing you are buying will be worth so much more tomorrow that it would be a sin against thrift not to buy it now. "I saw our vase at Bloomingdale's," she will say of some extravagant thing that we could not afford when we got it, "and you know what? The price has doubled. It's good we bought it when we did. We saved so much." The act of spending and the act of making are seen, in Marthanomics, as essentially the same act seen at two different moments in time.
"Start Quote
End QuoteIf I were chancellor of the exchequer, I would simply leave all the documents locked up in my red box for months, and, when budget day comes, I would get up in parliament and try and change the subject"
This logic is irrefutable. And our home is filled with beautiful things. In fact, I wonder if that isn't what Keynes really had in mind with his famous economic crack about our all being dead in the long run anyway - that although we should consult futurity and the welfare of our children, we should not consult them too much, since if we continue to defer good things indefinitely no one will ever have them at all.
Martha points out (she is pointing it out now, reading over my shoulder and holding my hands away from the keyboard as she does) that Marthanomics has grown up strictly in opposition to what she calls the Adam Avoidance approach to the domestic budget. The first principle there is that any bill left in its envelope long enough should be considered as already paid. This is matched by the insight that invoicing employers for work done is a bit vulgar, not to mention insulting, and should also be avoided if at all possible. Indeed, the over-riding principle of my system is that all economic issues should be avoided if at all possible. If I were chancellor of the exchequer, I would simply leave all the documents locked up in my red box for months, and, when budget day comes, I would get up in Parliament and try and change the subject.
I'm sure that your household has economic theories as odd and original, and that they too, ought to be commemorated by their own coin. I predict that in the future every household will have its own micro-currency. The people down the street who buy only in quantity (thousands of rolls of toilet paper at a time) will have giant bills, while the ones who defer their taxes for too long can have a picture of Oscar Wilde on theirs, in memory of his great forgotten remark, when confronted by the taxman demanding that he pay tax on the house where after all, he slept: "Ah! But I sleep so poorly." My family's micro-currency will have pictures of the Beatles and the Kinks, at their full glory, and vaguely psychedelic spirals and whorls all over it. And so it will go, house by house and family by family, making our micro-currencies like morning poems. For what is money, after all, but a game we have decided to play, a study in mutual confidence, a medium of exchange?

Here is a selection of your comments.
Adam, There is no arbitrary limit to granularity in micro-currencies - the 'mutual confidence' you describe is enabled (or not) by the cost and convenience of interchange between different currencies. Within the informal and trust-based environment of a family unit, interchange of value is a relatively trivial exercise. Of course, the trick is to scale that up into a wider world where participants don't know each other and therefore have no implicit trust. What may be of interest is that when Douglas Adams and our company founded the online Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in the late 90s, we saw our ultimate business model being in providing a largely friction-free exchange mechanism for everybody's personal currencies, those currencies backed by the rated effectiveness of their contributions to the Guide and, of course, an exchange mechanism into wider currencies (virtual or real). We've since seen this with Linden Dollars (Second Life), in WoW and particularly in the in-world currencies in Korean and Japanese virtual worlds. What we've yet to see is an effective market service for managing exchange rates and transactions between these and other currencies - it can only be a matter of time.
What a great idea. Think about it, if Warren Buffett were to have minted his own type of Bitcoins would not you rather buy and use his currency than the Euro or US dollar? His monetary wealth seams to be backed by vast amounts of investments and holdings whereas the dollar and euro have have so much borrowed against them, their face value is many times less then their actual worth. The respected governments of the euro or dollar would point out the natural resources that their moneys also represent, so take a fist full or their dollars, or euros and try to trade them for a piece of government land or tree. Good luck! Get your mint started Warren.
A principle feature of currency is as a store of value - I doubt that an uncontrolled, decentralised currency supported by nothing but market forces fulfills that purpose. Virtual currencies' values are supported by fads, at least in the present, with Coinye-west being a prime example. Fiat currencies' values are supported by the government, and ultimately, a gun.
I think we already have family coinage. Currency is little more than a store of value to enable future spend. Coinage represents how that can be split up into micro unites. For both currency and coinage to work there has to be belief it has value. The family already makes decisions on whether the financial promises of its constituents can be relied upon. Most families in modern society chose to protect value by using a bank. With bitcoin the store of value relies on the insurance principle - diversify the risk across many investors. However I remain convinced it is flawed. There is no premium paid to fund the risks in the long run. The confidence relies on each other's value assessment of the same asset. That's called a bubble. For bitcoin to survive the test of time it needs to move beyond that and be exchangeable.(ie in shops) but that is happening only rarely. Bitcoin does question whether central banks need to support a currency and whether there is any value in such support. In that we will never conclude but to me companies and individuals collectively may have more power than States but they still reach decisions slower. The role of the central bank remains.
I would not accept payment in bitcoins because I do not understand and consequently do not trust them, neither does my local pub accept them, but then why do I accept payment in sterling? It is only paper with an empty promise (the Bank of England will happily pay you on demand, in the form of another note), a con really, and, since 1936, not even attached to the idea that the authority issuing it has the gold reserves to back it up. Even coins are a rip off; a £1 coin does not contain £1's worth of metal or it would be uneconomic to make. Thinking along these lines will ultimately bring down Western capitalism as we know it, which is all very well, but I for one have no idea what to replace it with. I live alone and have no need for a household currency, but if I did the notes and coins would have steam trains on them. And of course a profile of me on the other side!
Currency as very appropriately quoted is really "a study in mutual confidence, a medium of exchange". The medium is either printed paper or coin of metal. Goods for goods is another alternate medium of exchange. We cannot survive without money. This is our survival kit!
I'd say you miss a trick (or two) here, because the point of a household having its own currency would be to allow barter within that household and only within that household. What becomes the going rate for a cookie from the cookie jar? How many of these equals an hour's lie in at the weekend? And what happens when a family member defaults?
I call it Disruptive Economics. From an economy where there is no interest rates and therefore no inflation to what you have just described! It might just work.

Hey Chad a rebound's a rebound dude. Just do you man. Don't pay attention to the haters who make fun of you because this dude you're dating can lift more weight than you can and makes you sit in the passenger seat and asks you to cook for him while he's watching the game and whatever else. You just got divorced man, do what you gotta do. If you wanna be Andy Dufresne and have this guy be the Sisters, by all means have at it. Kinda weird that your ex-wife used to date the guy you're dating now but hey, who am I to judge. Have a ball you two.
PS – Honestly looks like he got set up on a blind date gone terribly wrong. Like he's just waiting for Ashton to pop out or something and it just isn't happening.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has announced a new framework under which calls to 'free' (1800) numbers will be free from all phones.
Currently, mobile phone calls to 1800, 1300 and 13 numbers cost 22 cents to $1.78 per minute, despite these phone numbers being free or the cost of a local call from a landline.
Under the new framework, developed in consultation with the telco industry, calls from mobile phones to 1800 numbers will be free of charge but mobile operators will continue to charge for 13 and 1300 numbers.
However, telcos will release '13-Friendly' mobile plans, that charge calls to these numbers against the allowance on the mobile plan, instead of billing them separately. Telcos will also implement an information campaign to let consumers consider whether a '13-friendly' plan is appropriate for them when choosing their provider.

It is now said that Edward Snowden used computer thumb drives to steal highly classified information out of an NSA facility in Hawaii. Using a portable digital device is supposedly barred inside the spying agency. Edward Snowden is not only a coward and a traitor he is a thief of the most evil kind. His naive supporters seem to forget the three former NSA employees William E. Binney, Thomas A. Drake, and J. Kirk Wiebe who all were targets of a federal investigation into NSA leaks to the New York Times that sparked the first news about the warrantless wiretapping program back in 2012.
But these men were neither cowards nor traitors because unlike Edward Snowden they did not run to our enemies seeking asylum where he Edward Snowden is certain to spill the beans on US NSA operations. Because Binney and Wiebe did not run like cowards they were formally cleared of charges and Drake had those charges against him dropped. This coward this traitor Edward Snowden is now seeking the safety of the Russians and is reported to be busy learning the language. My hope continues to be that this yellow bellied coward is soon found floating face down in the Moskva River!

The Classic Beauty of Antique Georgian Furniture
The Georgian time period was a rich and storied time in history during which some of the most beautiful pieces of furniture ever were created. You can still find antique Georgian furniture at quality antique stores today, so check them out to get your hands on these intricate wood pieces.UGGs for Cheap Anyone who likes to shop for antiques knows that a find from the Georgian period is very rare and can add timeless and classic beauty to your home. These pieces are worth quite a lot of money and will only increase in value because of their unique styling and elegant nature. Antique Georgian furniture was made during a time when furniture makers did not use machines or factory style assembly lines. All of the Georgian antique furniture was created by hand with loving care that shows in the intricate work and the sturdiness of the pieces.
UGGs Bailey Button The Georgian period of time is an almost -year time span from the early s to the early s. This era of King George is often divided up into three distinct periods: the Early Georgian era, the Mid Georgian era and the Later Georgian era. Each of these periods of time produced elegant and distinct pieces of furniture by some of the greatest and most well-known furniture designers ever.
UGGs Bailey Button During the Early Georgian period, master craftsmen designed and created antique Georgian furniture that featured such lavish details as gilded pieces and marble table tops. Prior to this era, marble and gilded accents were very rarely used, but they became incredibly popular in the early to mid-s. Such expensive additions to skillfully built wood pieces added feminine beauty to wise masculine wood furniture.
UGGs Bailey Button The Mid Georgian period was when the very popular Thomas Chippendale became famous for his use of gorgeous imported woods. He liked to build his handmade Georgian antique furniture with such woods as Virginia red walnut and mahogany. His legacy lives on in the many classic antique Georgian furniture pieces that are still around from his time.
UGGs Bailey Button The Later Georgian era was when some of the most well-known furniture designers ever emerged. The Adam brs were two of these highly regarded builders of this period. They studied and utilized features from Greek and Roman art to create antique Georgian furniture that was ornately beautiful. They carved such details as rams heads, feet and husks into their pieces. George Hepplewhite was an notable Georgian designer. He utilized shield and heart shapes to make the backs of wood chairs. Thomas Sheraton also found notoriety during this time using very meticulous and heavily detailed shading on his pieces made of satinwood. He also created oval shell inlays for his pieces.

to protect me, my family, and others who are in legal danger.
This is a discussion on Why do YOU carry?? within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; to protect me, my family, and others who are in legal danger....
to protect me, my family, and others who are in legal danger.
As a former armed/unarmed security officer, Private Investigator, and current Police Officer I carry for obvious reasons. With 30 years of law enforcement experience (both public and private sectors) I have made a number of enemies. Any of these characters may try to harm my family or me at any time.
Many years ago, I watched "The Night of The Living Dead." I also read the news.
Les Baer 45

I had too many friends and family ask me that question in a rude and challenging way, and I realized they really just wanted to argue about the issue.
I got tired of giving a verbose, long winded justification which to their minds was just prevarication and paranoid excuses.
"I carry a gun in case I need to shoot someone.
They eventually understood that.
This May or may not be the reasoning, with some of you,but here is my reasoning.
I don't carry A Gun to kill people,I carry a gun to keep from being killed.
I don't carry A gun because I'm paranoid, I carry because the world can be A scary place to live.
I don't carry A gun because I hate the government, I carry because I know the limitations of the government.
I don't carry A gun because because I'm evil I carry because of the
evil that's lurks in our society.
I don't carry A gun because I love it, I carry because I feel A need to
protect the ones that I love.
The way I see it folks,carrying A gun is uncomfortable,but it is comforting,
Because I can...pretty simple.
You'll rock, with a 357 Glock
I worked in prison for 35 years and a large part of that included inmate discipline. I have often run into exinmates in the local stores. Thats when I decided I needed to be prepared all the time.
Because it is my responsibility to keep my wife and children safe. Specifically to keep my children safe so that they can make their contribution to the world.
English is my second language, I have been told my use of it is harsh, apologies if this is the matter.
You know what stops a bad guy with a gun? A good guy with a gun
Because it's my ultimate empowerment.
Because no one is going to take care of me, but me. I cannot depend on anyone else.
Because I will not allow someone to tell me, "You shouldn't leave your home after dark, it's not safe for a girl like you."
Because I will not allow someone to tell me what I can and can't do, where I can and cannot go, solely because I am a young woman.
I'm going to take back my life, my liberties.
Still waiting on my CHL, but I imagine that when I have it, I will walk with my chin up a little bit higher.
Confident. Empowered.
Because hearing of a woman my age getting shot and killed over an attempted robbery of her cell phone two minutes from my home was a wake-up call.
Because the present political rhetoric disgusts me. Listening to a candidate for my state's senator explaining what constitutes "legitimate rape" repulsed me beyond words. It proved to me that there are still people out there that believe that sometimes a woman is "asking for it", depending on how short that skirt is, and that all that matters is what she does with the conceived zygote, but the trauma itself and its impact on the woman is of little to no importance.
Because as much as I would love to change the violent culture of our society, that's not going to happen over night.
This is the world in which we live.
Because no one is going to take care of me, but me.
Because our forefathers fought for this right.
Because I've witnessed my family south of the border, forced out of their homes, or further into hiding, because their towns have been taken over by drug cartels. Easily overtaken, because of the lack of a fundamental right - no right to bear arms.
Because I have a Mr. Croft, that I love more than anything else in this world, and that is worth protecting.
Because I am revolted by the mindset of criminals, that they are entitled to invade one's home, their property, their bodies to take what they want, because they have a gun.
Guess what, a**holes? I have one, too.
Because no one is going to take care of me, but me.
Proud owner of a Sig Sauer P238 SAS Explosive Space Modulator.
"I played the powerless in too many dark scenes. And I was blessed with a birth and a death, and I guess I just want some say in between." - Ani DiFranco, "Talk to me Now."
I used to be able to hold my own in any scuffle! But the years of wear and tear on my body have left me to where if I did hit someone it would hurt me more than them! And Scuffles them self's have changed. It used to be a fight in the parking lot was just that. no one was badly hurt, the guy who got knocked down wouldn't get stomped while he was down, and most times they were still friends after it was over. But these days it never seems to end that way. I work in a jail and see it all the time. Guys are in there for shooting another for just looking at him funny. DR
I legally carry a firearm in case it becomes necessary to use one.
Since there is both Good and Evil in this world, there is always a possibility that without warning, Evil might threaten Good.
One does not need a "reason" to carry a firearm...Bearing Arms is a right granted to us by our creator...This is all the justification we need.

Jeff Cooper
I think the primary reason I carry is because I can. Today's society seems to be making it more important to use that right. We had a home invasion in our little community recently. I have always kept a gun in the house.
I have carried since I was 21 and im 35 now, but When you hear stories about that Doctor who had to endure the unfortunate situation of those two scumbags that broke into his house, raped and murdered his wife and kid right in front of him as he was bound with duct tape, That re-enforced why I carry, I know many may think this is strange but sometimes I carry while Im just sitting at home on my pc or watching tv.. That may be a little much, I dont know. Im not paranoid and I dont sleep with it in my bed in my hand lol, but I will occcasionally put in on my belt especially when I get new holsters..

Manitoba producers who sign up for a new insurance package can automatically receive forage restoration benefits compensating them for reseeding rain-damaged hayfields like this one.
A forage-insurance package providing increased protection for Manitoba forage producers will be available in 2014, Canadian government officials announced last week.
The new package is based on recommendations from the Manitoba Forage & Grassland Association (MFGA) and several other ag-producer groups. "With improved and more flexible forage insurance products to choose from, Manitoba hay producers will now have greater incentive to protect their feed supplies from weather-related risks," says Gerry Ritz, federal agriculture minister.
The insurance will be provided through AgriInsurance, a federal-provincial-territorial business risk management program administered by Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation.
Producers can choose "select" hay insurance, which provides quality and production guarantees for different forage types on an individual basis. Or "basic" hay insurance insures against production losses on a whole-farm basis at a lower cost.
With one of those coverages, participants will automatically receive "forage restoration" benefits that provide them compensation to reseed established, tame hay fields lost due to excess moisture. They can also receive "hay disaster" benefits – compensation for buying replacement hay when there is a severe forage crop loss at the provincial level.

Other options offered include "harvest flood" coverage for coarse hay that producers can't harvest because of excess moisture, and "enhanced quality" coverage, for alfalfa hay based on individualized relative feed value.
"The package presented provides excellent individual production-based coverage through a broader set of risk-management tools for various forage types, hay or pasture, including disaster benefits such as losses to excess moisture," says Jim Lintott, MFGA president. "We hope that producers will see the benefits of these programs and sign up for 2014. With the current high value of forages, now is a good time to establish your individual production levels."
