How Nudism Can Save You Money

Nudists (or "naturists" as some prefer to be referred to), have been the brunt of many a joke for many years. However, the truth of the matter is that living a nudist lifestyle may actually be far better for you, physically, ecologically and economically.
Let's start with the obvious. Nudists tend to wear as little clothing as possible, usually nothing at all, as often as possible or whenever conditions allow. Most live in climates that are tropical enough to maximize this opportunity. Wearing less clothing means washing less clothing and washing the clothing that they own less frequently, requiring the repair and replacement of clothing less often. They also tend to have less of a wardrobe, requiring less storage space. So here, we are seeing a saving in money spent on laundry detergents, gas and electricity to operate a washer and dryer, replacement clothing and repair costs, home closet or storage space. We also see less chlorine, phosphates, ozone and carbon dioxide pumped into the environment as well as a reduction in health issues related to exposure to the chemicals needed for properly washing clothing. (Chlorine bleach is one of the deadliest chemicals we can expose ourselves to).
Since for practicality reasons, most nudists live in either tropical or subtropical regions, many homes and businesses in those regions have some form of air conditioning. Nudists can save money and as in the case of laundry, the environment, by being able to turn up the thermostat a few degrees and allowing the natural cooling system provided in our bodies to do it's job. Also, if things get a little too hot, it is very easy to simply jump in a cool shower or hose off for a second or two with having to take the time to get undress and redressed. Besides, who wants to throw those sweaty clothing back on right after a shower.
There are other bonuses as well. It has recently been found that exposure to natural sunlight is far healthier to the human body than attempting to hide from the sun altogether. Regulated exposure to natural sunlight lets the body naturally produce all of the Vitamin "D" it needs to ward off a host of deadly and debilitating diseases, cancers and conditions, including MS, ALS, osteoporosis, breast, ovarian, prostate and brain cancers. (source) Even more recent reports indicate that almost all sunscreens are completely ineffective in reducing the deadliest forms of cancer, melanoma (source). Several reports indicate that the ingredients used to manufacture sunscreens are actually more harmful that the cancers they purport to prevent. However, by balancing the ratio of Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, combined with an adequate amount of Vitamin "D", incidence of melanoma has shown to be reduced by around 40% (source). It is therefore better to gradually expose the body to the sun, slowly building up our body's own natural sunscreen, melanin, being careful not to get sunburned in the process.
The bottom line is that nudists can save a ton of money by not buying sunscreen, simply exposing themselves to natural sunlight in appropriate amounts; there by creating Vitamin "D" for free and by simply eating a diet that balances omega 3 acids. This can be done through supplement or through adding fish, flax or kiwi fruit to their diets. The real savings come from not having to pay medical bills for treatments for all of the conditions.
Nudism is often referred to as the "Great Equalizer". When people are naked around other people, it is difficult to tell if a person is the president of a bank, or a school janitor. Consequently, nudists tend to be far less "class-conscious". Nudists are typically less likely to want to keep up with the Joneses, realizing that not only do clothes not really make the man, but neither do homes, cars, boats etc.
Studies have also found that children raised in nudist homes tend to be more socially developed (and often more intelligent) than those raised in "textile" families. Nudists generally feel that they have nothing to hide. That attitude permeates the rest of their psyche as well, so they tend to be less stressed out and more sure of themselves. We have probably all heard about the health problems produced by living under stress. Nudists save money by not having to treat as many stress related disorders. (source – pdf format) Also, by being more self confident, and supposedly better educated, they are more likely to get better jobs, making more money.
Those same group of studies indicated that children raised in nudist homes are less inclined to become burdens to society. They are less likely to become involved in early sexual or drug experimentation or to commit crimes against society. This is partially because they are not as materially oriented and because they are already familiar with the looks and workings of the opposite sex. In general, nudity allows them to be more open and honest in their family life, which is expressed in how they relate to others in general. Nudists save money by not having to bail their children out of jail, take them to the doctors to treat sexually transmitted diseases or help them raise unwanted grandchildren (as frequently). If all families raised their children with the same attitudes as nudists, we would all be able to save money by having to pay less in taxes to support fewer children of unwanted pregnancies, drug addicts, juvenile delinquents, vandalism, etc.

I agree entirely. In fact I have felt this way for a long time. I would have to add that in terms of positive body image just by being exposed to normal body types our youth would be less prone to fall into the trap of feeling so inadequate about their looks that they resort to cosmetic surgery or even become susceptible to anorexia or bolimea and like disorders.
What a great read. Nice piece to forward to friends and those giving a thought to visiting a nudist venue.
As a die-hard nudist for over 40 years now, I have to agree with almost everything in your article. It has reduced the stress in my life for sure ever since my first visit to a nudist club in my teens.
Congratulations on an informative article that has the facts straight about nudism. It's not for everyone but for some of us it is a great way of life.
Entirely true – except that even those of us who live in a temperate climate can save money by not having air conditioning at all – and in winter, it is a whole different kick to feel the bite of the cold on your bare skin. But, this describes the way I live and believe.
Intelligent, interesting and well written. Much the same ground is covered in Liz Egger's very funny article Six Reasons to Choose a Nudist Vacation, if you can track it down.
I can attest to the health benefits of nudity/naturism After a hectic stress-filled week, my visits to a nude beach on weekends caused the stress to melt away and I could re-enter he stressful life again on Monday.
Let's be honest, "nudism" is just an excuse for dirty old men to expose their private parts to complete strangers, women and children included, and to look at other people's bits and pieces. All this guff about it being economical or healthy or good for the environment just doesn't wash. It's exhibitionism, pure and simple.
In regards to post number about nudists being exhibitionists. Having been a member of the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) http://www.aanr.com 1-800-TRY NUDE for many years I strongly disagree. It is difficult to imagine someone with varicose veins, double mastectomies, appendectomy scares, birth marks, pregnant women carrying twins, colostomy surgeries, babies and seniors in their nineties being exhibitionists.
Going nude gives me the freedom of zippers, itchy tags in the neck of my shirts, elastic around my waist, scratchy fabrics, and garments things that do not fit correctly. Freedom from having to make decisions about what to wear, what to purchase, time spent shopping for clothes, the money spent on clothes and yes the time and money spent on laundry.
Freedom to be around like-minded people who have given up the illusion that clothes are necessary at all times.
I agree wholeheartedly with Mr. Bison in Reply #8. Bravo Sir, for "exposing" the nudist farce! I have never tried nudism myself, yet I will say without hesitation or evidence that it is a worthless pursuit. The Creator's one mistake upon placing us on this earth fully evolved, was in not covering His offensive creations with clothing. I even refuse to offend myself with my own nudity. This makes bathing difficult, as I must stand fully clothed in the shower, but I save money and water by washing clothes, and the disgusting body that God gave me to live in, all at once.
I live in the city and although I cannot go outside nude I do remain nude inside until I have to leave. Yes my theory is saving on laundry and all that goes with it. Great story and outlook on nudism.
Mr. Water Buffolo, good idea, jumping into the shower fully clothed, saving money on laundry. You are probably also saving money on going out with friends as well, because if you do not remove your clothing, you are probably very "ripe".
Yeah, I can't figure out why God didn't cover His offensive creatures. Oh yeah!!! I remeber. When He was done, and they were naked and unashamed, He stood back and called it "VERY GOOD" (Gen 1:31).
God certainly has a sense of humor, doesn't He.
Having retired to a Florida nudist resort, I do laundry only once a month. Then it's everything BUT clothes. About every three months I manage to get enough clothes dirty to wash.
I rarely use the furnace being in Florida, and since I can tolerate it warner than the average "bare", I rarely use the air conditioning. Living in a nudist resort is much cheaper than living elsewhere. I live on a limited retirement income quite well.
I've been healthier since retiring than I was before I retired. I love the naturist (nudist) life. Since God created the human body, I see no need to be ashamed of what He has made. He's not.
I think this must be about the dumbest/funniest article I've seen in awhile. I don't take naked people seriously, I mean, think about it. It's sure not practical (think how easy it would be to hurt yourself performing even simple household things naked; you could hurt all those uncovered parts for no good reason, ouch). And most people look like hell naked anyway, come on. I'm cracking myself up just picturing how friends and family would look running around naked. You guys have made my day. Naked, for crying out loud.
Very nice and keep up the good work Nathan.
"Exhibitionist", "worthless pursuit", "showering with clothes on", "can't take naked people seriously", why are nudist or naturist categorized in this way, however you rarely hear nudist labeling non-nudist as "clothing compulsive", "clothes phobic" or "body redressed"? Who is it that needs the shrink here?
Well I found that in general naturists are more open minded and accepting of other people's opinions even if they do not share them. Just like they shed their clothes, they open their minds and are willing to listen. Why is it that people are more accepted in today's society based on their sexual orientation that their willingness to use or not use clothes?
Have you realized how many of the people that are willing to speak up against nudity, openly admit that they have never tried it? Funnily enough all the nudist that I know have tried using clothes.
Could it be that those that speak up against it are so repressed by society into their clothes that they would prefer to die that be caught without them? How else can you explain being so offended by the Lord's creation that even your own body becomes offensive.
I will let each of you reader decide who needs the shrink here. All I can say is no wonder nudist are less stressed. Maybe some of you non-nudist should try to conger up the courage to give it a try, after all it is a lot cheaper than a shrink and most people I know that have tried it, came back wondering why they waited 40 or 50 years to do so!
Great work Nathan!
Best Story for Nude Rec, using simple plain Economics.
Now to use story to Sell the Public on Nude Rec IE American public vs Europublic.
Great article for showing that nudism is not just playing volley ball and hanging on around and nudist resort. (Not that I think those two activities are bad) For nudism to be taken serious society needs to see the total benefits and practices of nudism. I work around the house and yard nude as often as I can. Home choirs are more enjoyable when done nude. As for being an exhibitionnist 95% of my nudism is done solo. (Not that I am shy, but I don't have many opportunities)To be a nudist you don't have to see or be seen naked if that is your choice. For me being nude is enjoying the body God gave me the way He originally intended humans to live.
I agree entirely, why wear clothes when it only hinders one and except for protection from hazards. I want to see a society where nudity is the norm and clothing is the exception!
I entirely agree with this article. The nudity taboo is destructive and divisive. Bison and Water Buffalo sound like obviously blatant prudes. Nudism is not exhibitionism. Nudists are less materialistic than textiles. If everyone were happier naked, the world will be a much better place to live. There would be almost no more crime, violence, and censorship. Possibly next decade, the nudity taboo will be abolished.
I was raised in a textile household, but I am an advocate of nudism. My parents' religion Jehovah's Witnesses is strongly against nudism, so that is one reason why I rejected that religion. Religions that oppose nudity were deceived by the Puritan and Victorian values system, which are deceptive and destructive. The nudity taboo must be discarded from Christianity. Christianity actually supports nudism. Parents should raise their children with the same attitudes as nudists, not with the Puritan attitudes.
I posted a thread about nudism on the message board I run.
why nudist is everywhere? is it really so nice? I think that is a culture boom, so many nudist sites like nudistconnect, mushroomed. but, what is disadvange? Once i saw a tean girl showed her nacked photos on that site. why? is it something wrong? is it going too far?
This was a very well written article bringing some of the 'provable' benefits of the nudist lifestyle into a printed form. There are just as many, if not more, benefits that are 'unprovable'. One of these is the acceptance of your own body.
Many people seem to think that nudism is all about seeing or being seen. These are the ones who admittedly have never tried it for themselves. I enjoy being out in the woods in the nude. There is nothing to leave you feeling closer to nature than to feel the pine scented breeze blowing across your bare skin on a summer day. We are all natural creatures, no matter how many times some people deny it, and to be able to be aware of this is a true joy. It has nothing to do with the presence or lack of, of other people. There have been many times that I have spent an entire day nude in the woods, roaming the mountains, and not seen another human being the entire day.
All I can say is that the prudish attitude of some people is a large part of what is wrong with our society today, and is a large portion of what the rest is based upon.
Although I have never been to a nudist place, I would like to try it. I try to be nude at home as much as possible because I feel the most free and I am most comfortable in that state. I spend nights lounging nude with my wife, and we do it without having sex. Nudity does not mean sex is to follow.
My feeling on biblical issues is that god created us the way he wanted us. Adam and Eve ate the apple, and decided that god created them wrong, and informed him of such. If I were god, I wonder if I would I be more angry with them eating the apple, or telling me I had created them wrong when I had made them just the way I wanted. I feel that being nude praises god, and thanks him for the creation he has given me. Perhaps we should all attend church nude. Perhaps that is the way to reconcile the sin of eating the apple. 'Yes god, I am nude, and I accept it, I praise your creation, and I am as you wanted me. Thank you.'
Nudists believe that the naked human body ought to be accepted, respected, nurtured and enjoyed. Many of them enjoy sports and other
Isn't it funny that those same folks who have the worst things to say about social nudity know absolutely nothing about it, but cruise the web looking for places that deal with the subject? You'd think that they would never get past the 'nudist' photo sites; their right hand would be too tired to keep surfing…
For what it's worth, I've suffered for years with heat rash on my back, chest, stomach and rear. A few years ago I found out that if I tanned a bit, the heat rash would disappear. Since then, I'll lay out for an hour several times a week totally nude and what do you know? No more rash!! If that makes me an exhibitionist, so be it. .I just like the fact that my skin has cleared up after 60 years. While I don't classify myself as a nudist, I would like to spend some time in a nudist resort or nude beach.
As a long time nudist and member of http://www.aanr.com for decades I agree that nudists save money.
I travel by air and always travel with carry on only saving the fees that airlines charge for checked bags.
Nudist Ralph mentions "studies" in his post. I wish he would have included his resource information in his posting. While I value nudism I have never read anything about children being raised as nudists being more intelligent. I have never read about any studies concerning children raised in a nudist home and would value the resouce information.
Shirley in Oregon
Many of the studies that Ralph mentioned can be found through the footnotes of an article titled "205 Arguments and Observations In Support of Naturism" (Found here: http://www.naturistsociety.com/resources/PDF/205ARGUE.pdf).
Thanks so much for posting the resource info. I really appreciate it.
Just found this courtesy of a link posted on saving advice and couldn't agree more, it gives us maligned nudists the justification for leaving off those rags of shame!

Great piece Nathan; thank you for sharing. I strongly disagree with those who think living a naturist Way of life is akin to exhibitionism. We see what we want to see and we hear what we want to hear.
All those kids caught up in the "sexting" scandal in Pennsylvania would be better off not with the sort of counseling that will admonish them DON'T DO THAT DIRTY STUFF but rather some classes and first hand experience on body acceptance.
If God had wanted us to be clothed he would have made it so we'd be born that way. Did God make a mistake?

I discovered nudism at JD MacArthur Park on Singer Island on Florida's east coast in my early 20's (I am now 57). I admit that I was imagining scores of beautiful naked women lined up on the beach. However, that was not the case. Fortunately for me the park at that time was frequented by middle aged Europeans and their families vacationing there and as I walked the shoreline I realized that this beach seen was no different than any other along the coast. People of all shapes and sizes and ages playing Frisbee, surf fishing, walking their dogs, swimming and body surfing. I was greeted by "good morning" and "hello" from most everyone. It was refreshing to be associated which such casual nudist on my first experience. Ladies if you are tired of "gawkers" when you go to the beach then try a nude beach. Nothing left to the human imagination and the mind becomes bored and drifts elsewhere, the gawking ends. America's hypocrisy towards the naked body is laughable. On the surface social pressure requires that we be "aghast" at seeing nudity, but yet the media floods us all daily with titillating sexuality at every turn. Just the thought of glimpsing a taboo body part keeps us glued to the event. Sports Illustrated bikini edition with the see thru bikini
Joe, I agree with you completely. In fact, I am knocking myself over the head for not coming to the realization about training up our children properly in time. Unfortunately, although we have always been open about our bodies around our house, our children were already being influenced by our clothing-compulsive culture before I realized what was actually happening.
Also, I do not think that Al Gore would be much interested in pushing a naturist agenda, even though it can be shown to be VERY environmentally friendly. There is simply no money in encouraging people to use LESS of something. Perhaps he could profit if they came up with "cotton credits". (big smile).
As a long time nudist and dues paying member of the American Association for Nude Recreation I would like to add a few savings. Airlines are now charging for checked bagage and I never pay. I save a ton of time not checking my bags and waiting for them at the end of my trip. Of course I travel with clothes but nothing more than will fit under the seat in front of me. Saving time and money…:)

Prostitution is on the increase at nudist campa I have paid several women for sex there protect our children!!! It's for adults not young girls to see such examples of ladies selling ass
As we understand Steve's comment ( not easy!), he asserts that prostitution is on the increase in nudist venues whilst admitting to paying prostitutes to accompany him to nudist venues!
Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that he fails to spot the irony in that statement.
Might we suggest to Steve that, if he is concerned about the welfare of children, he and his like confine their activities to the alleyways, whorehouses, and sex clubs where they belong and stop infesting nudist sites. Maybe then we'll all be a little more comfortable.
I say it reasonable to say nudity nothing to be ashamed of i do clean up around my apartment i always strip naked before i start it's not only how how you look naked it's how you feel being naked, and i say that's totally cool i can look at my naked body, and tell that i'm totally comfortable beleive me i got nothiong to hide at all period that's my story, want to share this to the whole world.

So much of motherhood is filled with multitasking. If you are going to accomplish anything, you are most likely going to do it with a kid on your hip, possibly another strapped on you via ergo and another at your ankles. Along with multitasking, rushing and doing things, there are also those feelings of NOT doing things. Life is wonderful and also just full. As a mother, I constantly feel torn, pulled in a million different directions, wanting so badly to be in one place while I am stuck in another.
Kids are needy. They are brought into this world with nothing except us. Babies need their mamas. Husbands, siblings, parents, everyone else needs our attention, too. Don't forget about us Mamas, either! If we don't take care of ourselves and maintain our own sense of self, then how can we except to give back to everyone else who is tugging at our hearts, and our pants?
Saturday at 2:00pm, wedding bells rang. My older sister by just 19 months got married. Family and friends from across the country flocked to Palm Springs to celebrate the most beautiful, perfect wedding of two of the most beautiful, perfect beings on this planet. And when I say perfect, I really mean it, because I don't use that word often and I don't pretend to be even near-perfect myself. Truly, my sister and her now husband are incredible people and we were so blessed and honored to be a part of the ceremony and their lives.
A few months ago, she asked my little sister and I to share the duties of "Maid/Matron of Honor." We humbly accepted. Then life happened, things got busy, crazy, hectic and I had no part in helping her prepare for her big day. For the past few months I felt so torn, wanting to drive the 2 hours to Orange County to help her go dress shopping, pick up invitations, taste food, choose her favors, etc., etc. But alas, time passed by, kids needed their Mama, Daddy became busier and busier working and I never did find the time to carve out to help my sister.
I felt awful. I still feel awful. Others stepped up, she was supported and everything went smoothly despite my lack of help. Still, that lack, that absence hurts me. As I mentioned above, my sister is pretty darn close to perfect and I know that she will never hold it against me and probably never even noticed or thought about my lack of help. It doesn't matter, though, because I felt it.
Then came her wedding weekend. Most guests arrived Friday. My siblings, parents, relatives from near and far all made the journey. I was stuck at home, waiting and again just feeling like I was not in the place I wanted to be. I wanted to be there. I wanted to be with them all, but Adara had school, Alan had work to finish and I was waiting. Finally, when I could wait no longer, we picked our oldest daughter up from school 1 hour before dismissal (which my husband is absolutely against!), hit the freeway and got.. stuck. More waiting, traffic jam after traffic jam and it wasn't until minutes before the rehearsal that we finally arrived.
I ran — literally — to meet up with my brother and his wife and hopped right back into the car to head to the Church. Practice went well, then onto the fun. Our 6:30pm bedtime for the kids would be thrown out the window this weekend, my husband and I agreed. This was special, one of those few nights of the year where we would throw our cares aside, dance under the starlight and hobble back to our room with kids on each hip late in the night. I could not wait. I had dreams of dancing with my son, his heavy head falling asleep on my shoulder under a moonlit sky.
Then, Adara got sick. I finished rehearsal to find several voicemails and texts from my husband. "We are stuck in the room." "Adara is sick on the couch, not moving, burning up, please get her some Tylenol." "We need food, all starving and she's asleep."
My heart didn't even have time to sink into my stomach as my head went into full-on Mama mode. I skipped out on my sister's request that all the bridesmaids gather in her room for celebrations. I had a sick baby and I was her Mama. She needed me. My sister needed me, too. My entire family — many of whom I hadn't seen in years and whom had never met my kids — were outside, gathered under the most perfectly clear desert sky, dancing, drinking and celebrating. I wanted to be there, but I was stuck. I was stuck in our room, the very last place I wanted to be during my sister's pre-wedding night.
My legs wanted to get right up and run down the cactus-lined street, embrace her in a hug and stay up laughing about childhood memories, reminiscing until the sun came up. I couldn't. I was in bed with my daughter, embracing her, calming her and singing soft lullabies until her fever finally broke and she was comfortable enough to sleep.
The next day and evening progressed in a similar manner. It was a long night, everyone in our little family came down with symptoms and the aches and runny noses spread. By morning time we were quite miserable, but still excited. Our endorphins got us through the day, we hunkered down, toughened up, danced, cheered, and raised our glasses until 9:30pm when all three kids were actually begging us to "Please go sleep." With kids on hips, just as in my dream, we walked down that starry path towards our cabin. We were out before we could even kiss goodnight.
So it is, with motherhood and with life. You spend all this time fantasizing about a big night, special event and how everything will play out. Then life happens. Kids get sick, babies need you. You make the best of it all, try to be present with those around you. You try to stop the feelings of guilt, stop feeling torn and pulled, knowing there is no use in worrying. You wish and hope and pray that those around you will grant you grace, understand your struggle and be there when you return.
Some favorite photos from this weekend. While our time celebrating and partying was limited, we still have a few fun photos as evidence that we really were there… attempting to partake in the festivities. : )

Ban Trump From Twitter
0 have signed. Let's get to 100.
President-Elect Donald J. Trump routinely thumbs his nose at the Terms of Service of his favorite social media outlet Twitter. And yet, he is allowed to continue to tweet (and tweet, and tweet). Twitter's guidelines clearly bar "abusive behavior," defined in part as:
Harassment: You may not incite or engage in the targeted abuse or harassment of others. Some of the factors that we may consider when evaluating abusive behavior include:
* if a primary purpose of the reported account is to harass or send abusive messages to others;
* if the reported behavior is one-sided or includes threats;
* if the reported account is inciting others to harass another account; and
* if the reported account is sending harassing messages to an account from multiple accounts.
The Terms of Service go on to bar:
Hateful conduct: You may not promote violence against or directly attack or threaten other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or disease. We also do not allow accounts whose primary purpose is inciting harm towards others on the basis of these categories.
Even the most casual survey of Trump's Twitter feed will confirm that in his daily communications, he is guilty of hate speech, inciting hatred, harassment and violence against others, threatening those who do not agree with him, and literally every point included in the guidelines' "hateful conduct" section above. Few thinking people would dispute that Trump's Twitter account is one, as described in the guidelines, "whose primary purpose is inciting harm towards others."
Therefore, we the undersigned call on Twitter Inc. to suspend or terminate Mr. Trump's account immediately.

Or is it just another "step" on the circus stairs? Please keep any answers factual and make valid points. No cheap shots or biased opinions. I am actually seeking factual reasoning to better understand the situation as I am tight for time and can't research the situation. From my understanding, the house has to vote to compromise, this Friday, on a short term government funding bill. They might not do this because one side disagrees with some of the provisions included which are jointed to Obamacare which they disagree with? Again, no crazy rants just facts being sought here.

Anything done on the national level could very well be considered a "step on the circus stairs," but to answer your question directly---no, the government will not "shut down."
What will happen if an agreement is not reached will be a government "SLOW down." Most essential functions will continue as usual with some less important functions being temporarily put on hold.
The media, as usual, is blowing this way out of proportion to make it sound like a great disaster is looming---well, it's not. You can read the facts more in-depth here:

Thank you Caleb for a non partisan explanation. I usually have time to look into it, but not this week.
This is hot-off-the-press, from the Associated Press:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Here's the truth about a government "shutdown." The government doesn't shut down.
So the world won't end if a dysfunctional Washington can't find a way to pass a funding bill before the new budget year begins on Oct. 1.
Social Security checks will still go out. Troops will remain at their posts. Doctors and hospitals will get their Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements. In fact, virtually every essential government agency, like the FBI, the Border Patrol and the Coast Guard, will remain open. Furloughed federal workers probably would get paid, eventually. Transportation Security Administration officers would continue to man airport checkpoints.
But lurking around the corner is far bigger danger: Sometime in late October or early November the government could run out of cash. The U.S. would be unable to pay all of its bills in full and on time for the first time in history if it couldn't borrow more money.
While the Treasury Department probably would make interest payments to bondholders to prevent a catastrophic default on the debt, it wouldn't be able to make other payments on time, which would mean delays in Social Security benefits and in paychecks for federal workers and troops in the field.
Americans would feel the pain.
To prevent a "shutdown," Congress must pass a temporary spending bill before Oct. 1. To prevent a default, it must raise the $16.7 trillion cap on government borrowing.

There are a variety of approaches to project management. Critical chain management (CCPM) puts more emphasis on the resources required to execute tasks, while event chain methodology focuses on managing events that will affect scheduling. Regardless of the method you choose, the Small Business Administration advises listing out specific project objectives, create a working timeline of both materials and personnel, and monitor all required costs as the project proceeds. Project control means keeping on-track, on-time, and under budget.
A project manager, therefore, is responsible for determining project requirements, and managing all elements of the task. Project management software is available that will help to organize both yourself and your team. Depending on the sophistication of the software, it may include estimating and cost control, decision-making trees, and a workflow analysis. Over the course of any project, the requirements may change mid-stream, without prior notice. Changes can be the result of necessary design modifications, altered site conditions, material availability or lack thereof. Finally, a formal, compliance-based audit may be conducted by upper management after completion. Beyond major requirements within the business management department, you may consider Windward Community College online testing as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

- Wedding: July 2012
Hi, all! My husband and I just bought a house, and we are planning to invite our closest friends and family over for a little housewarming party. I'm just wondering – do the same etiquette rules apply to housewarming invitations as to wedding ones? I know on a wedding invitation you'd never include a "no gifts" line (or any mention of gifts/registries, for that matter). But what about in this case? We just don't want people to feel compelled to spend money and bring us a gift. The point of the gathering is to get everyone together to celebrate our new home; not to fill it with presents. That said, I'd never show up at someone else's house empty-handed, even if I just brought a bottle of wine our bouquet of flowers with me. So if someone else sent me an invitation with a "no gifts" request, I'd probably ignore it and feel half guily that I was going against their wishes. But I'd feel even MORE guilty not bringing anything! Clearly I'm overthinking this. So what's everyone else's take??

Biology is one of the original natural sciences, even reaching back as far as the study of anatomy in ancient Egypt, where evidence has been found of surgery, forensics, and anatomical knowledge of both organ structure and function. Biology in general is the study of life and living organisms, with specific attention to function, growth, evolution, identification and taxonomy. Modern biology is becoming an interdisciplinary field, overlapping with biomedical engineering, molecular chemistry, and genetics. The biological sciences recognize the cell as the basic unit of life, and DNA as the basic unit of heredity. Moreover, all organisms survive by consuming and transforming energy via respiration or photosynthesis, and by regulating their internal environment via homeostasis.
The life sciences are defined by the scale at which organisms are studied, in that biochemistry focuses on chemical processes of life while molecular biology involves molecules and protein synthesis. Cellular biology may be broken down further into a structural analysis of cell organelles and lipid membrane boundries, such as in skin tissue or alveolar sacs in the lungs. In the field of genetic engineering, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) may be spliced together from different organisms, in an attempt to transfer hereditary traits that may increase crop yields, create a supply of stem-cells, or even clone sheep. Beyond major requirements within the cell biology department, you may consider Pamlico Community College CPR classes as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

A Revival at ISKCON Baltimore
Posted September 30, 2005
Posted September 30, 2005
Dear Devotees -
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada, and their most beautiful lordships Sri Sri Nitai-Gaurasundar, Sri Jagannatha, Sri Baladev, and Srimati Subadra-devi.
We are pleased to inform you of the revival of ISKCON Baltimore. After over a decade of inactivity, inconsistent and incomplete preaching, mismanagement of temple resources, and lack of leadership and supervision, the Baltimore temple is now trying to get back on track, but we need your help. If you work or live in the greater Baltimore metro area or are a friend and well wisher of the temple please do read on -
The North American GBC has recently removed the stale decade old temple management with a new three person leadership team. This group will temporarily manage temple activities till a permanent temple president, and resident devotees are found. Gone are the days of non-cooperation amongst devotees and authoritarian management. We are seeking anyone interested in performing service or simply wanting to take part in temple activities (Sunday Feast, Special Festivals, Ratha Yatra, etc.) to please step forward and come back to the home of Sri Sri Nitai-Gaurasundar, and Lord Jagannatha.
More and more devotees and congregation are witnessing the change and are coming back. Please don't miss this opportunity to be a part of this grass roots change - be a part of the New ISKCON Baltimore. We look forward to serving and rejoicing in Srila Prabhupada's mission with you.

In this paper, as to our best knowledge, we propose and demonstrate the first precise phosphor modeling scheme to simulate the chromatic performance of white LEDs with silicate phosphors. The phosphor model is useful to accurately simulate the power ratio of the blue and yellow lights emitted by the white LEDs and is important in white LED package.

Leukocyte trafficking into lymphoid tissues or sites of infection or injury is regulated by the coordinated expression of adhesion and signaling molecules [1, 2]. Binding of selecfins to glycoconjugate ligands mediates tethering and rolling on vascular surfaces. Binding of leukocyte integrins to Ig-like proteins slows rolling, promotes firm adhesion, and directs migration. Cytokines, thrombin, histamine, and other mediators inifiate leukocyte recruitment by stimulafing endothelial cells to express adhesion molecules and chemokines. Rolling leukocytes receive signals from engagement of selecfin ligands and chemokines that cause integrin-dependent deceleration, arrest, and migration. Combinatorial diversity of adhesion and signaling molecules controls the number and type of leukocytes recruited to a particular tissue, as well as the duration of the response. Dysregulated expression of these molecules contributes to tissue injury in inflammatory diseases.

"No words that could ever convey my appreciation for your dedication to my child. Have spent the last three days moving the kids into their new home! We are all exhausted, but in a wonderful way. The first night Bela spent there he sent me a text that said "Out swimming in my own pool. Victory!" As parents I'm sure both of you can understand the joy that filled my heart with that text. The first house Bela's dad and I ever bought was 3 bdrm/1 bath/900sq ft/ and I raised three kids there!!! The "Bales" (as we call them) are starting out at almost 2400 sq feet with a mother in law suite and 3 other bedrooms and bathrooms! Crazy, but wonderful. There are just no words that could ever convey my appreciation for your dedication to my child. (and the crazy redhead)? Tired, exhausted, and sore, but loving you all the while. And I know I speak for everyone. Can't wait for the housewarming!!! YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!"

after a couple of months of dusting, cleaning, reaching out, reorganizing, throwing out, donating, installing and transtioning, it now seems appropriate to invite colleagues and neighbors to a "thank you" and meet and greet. as services manager it merits attention to position our clinic as not merely a "dui agency" but as a clinic offering a gallimaufry of mental health services geared towards addressing many behavioral issues. my hope is that this approach is effective.
but i am looking forward to cooking. and meeting and greeting. and celebrating.

< Chapter 65 Chapter 67 >
Nist and Milo have been captured by a gang of human thugs!
I couldn't reach Nist before the gang could kill him, but I wasn't going to let Nist die.
"Kill him," I called, running down the roof, "and you'll answer to me!"
Rough voice motioned to the biggest and strongest of the bunch, "Sarn, teach that guy a lesson."
Sarn grinned and charged. The others grinned, too. At least Nist had a brief reprieve.
Sarn was a brawler. The way he moved revealed all. He showed no subtlety, no grace. He relied entirely on size and strength. Boost wasn't needed.
I tucked, rolled, and came up at him with fists together, driving with my legs. Sarn folded, his breath whooshing out. A spin kick and Sarn reeled, collapsing at rough voice's feet. My sword was at Sarn's throat before the others could react.
"Let. Them. Go."
The other two released Nist and Milo.
"Now the medicine kit," I said to rough voice, "or I'll take it from your corpse."
"Don't think you've won," rough voice said, tossing the medicine kit to Nist. "Once the trogs are gone, I'll report you to the guard. Who do you think they'll believe, four citizens or a child and two foreigners?"
"They'll believe a member of the Royal Guard -- me," I said. "You deserve a sound thrashing, but I've got more important things to do now. If I see you again, though..."
Moments later we were back at Milo's hiding place. Milo, with Callan's encouragement, launched into a breathless account of their exploits. Nist gave the kit to Tristan.
"I've asked her Highness to keep the boy distracted," Tristan murmured. "His sister has a deep spear wound in her side. She might not survive surgery!"
Will all our hero's efforts to save Milo's sister be for naught? Find out in Chapter 67, coming Monday!

Top 5 car simulators
When we first start to prepare this article, will never imagine, how many companies make racing simulators and that's good but which is the best of them all?
The premise of the article was to find out the greatest motion simulators that money can buy, based exclusively on the feelings each simulator had to offer compare to real life and after a big research we reach to an answer! Let´s find out!
The aeon is one of the softest, but! This may be good for some customers that are planning to use it on regular bases and spend hours on it.
The "little toy" costs about 23,000$ and we choose it against other rivals like "SimXperience Stage 5 Full Motion Racing Simulator" which it may be better at some aspects but at the end, the AEON makes more sense in terms of value. It's more adjustable and customizable and the motion experience is liter bit better.

The new incorporation to our fleet! The new and improve Ducati Diavel 2015
The Ducati Diavel is one of those motorbikes that really doesn't have a clear competition is really a unique species, is an exclusive type of motorbike as not many motor brands produces this kind of "Monster"
Ducati Improved the Diavel with more stability, smoothly and comfort by lowering the gravity center and make it more pleasant to ride especially at low rpm. The nature of this bike is not clear but that's the good thing about it, is ideal for a performance cruise but has the madness and aggressive performance that gives you a great time drive in it through the empty roads of the heart of Spain.
Marbella luxury holidays
Beyond Marbella lifestyle vacations.
Marbella is one of the three top luxury tourism destinations on Europe a long with saint Tropez and Monaco. And yes! Marbella has all the leisure that a top luxury destination should have like clean and blue beaches, VIP clubs, golf course, luxury 5 stars beach hotels but Marbella has lot more to offer!
With the rental supercar, helicopter services, yacht parties and sunny days! It´s also "On the road´s" luxury holiday pack called "Marbella beach & speed track" a holiday with the rush and exciting that the little child inside us is asking for.
Our latest incorporation Ferrari 458 speciale is the newest creature of Maranello factory for track day cars. The evolution in this sporty version of the 458 is really madness; Ferrari even insinuates "that isn't meant to be a version of the 458 Italia, that is really a whole new car"
Anyway! Excellent job really! Ferrari has learned to bread a horse with ecologic steroids! Apparently learning from the antecessors like the 430 scuderia, the 4.5 atmospheric V8 brings up to an incredible 605Hp at 9000 rpm without supercharged system (135hp per cylinder) great feat Ferrari!
The stability and handle are been improved and it feels keener to the road with a quicker throttle respond, all this facts contribute to a more pleasurable and confident supercar: a "speciale" civilized beast!

Hué Imperial City01 avr. 2015
Today, we explored the Imperial City, a walled fortress and palace in the city of Hué, the former imperial capital of Vietnam.
After breakfast, we walked around 3 km to get there and did some shopping first. It is crazy what you can find in a supermarket in Vietnam!
Hué is a representation of the power of the vanished Vietnamese feudal empire at its apogee in the early 19th century. The city served as the administrative centre of southern Vietnam in the 17th and 18th centuries. Gia Long, first ruler of the Nguyen dynasty, made it the national capital of united Vietnam in 1802, a position that it held until 1945. The construction of the Imperial City started in 1803 and finished in 1832. The fortress itself was modelled on the European style of Vauban, the first of its type in South-East Asia, but the complex suffered considerably during the many wars. The Imperial City is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993.
We were a bit disappointed about the Imperial City because it is overpriced and not really impressive. Most of it is in renovation. There are some nice gardens and buildings, but this is it!
For lunch, we had Banh Khoai, a rice pancake with meat and shrimp and beef noodle with peanut sauce.
Then, we walked back to our hotel to hide from the heat. We just got out to eat a banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich) and some stir-fried vegetables.

Amazon Review
Certainly, Mitchell offers his readers a vertiginous, sometimes seductive, display of persona and place. "Twenty million people live and work in Tokyo," he writes in "Okinawa", the first section in the novel. "It's so big that nobody really knows where it stops." That sense of the global extension of the (post)modern city, the networks-- cultural, technological, phantasmagoric--to which it gives rise, is one key to this story of a Japanese death cult devoted to purging the "unclean" (gas attacks on the metro). "No, in Tokyo you have to make your place inside your head": that's how this immense world gets smaller, more subjective, more mad, as the narrator, Mr Kobayashi, sheds his "old family of the skin" to join a new "family of the spirit". It's a common theme. "I'm this person, I'm this person, I'm that person, I'm that person too," chants the voice of "Hong Kong", in the second section of the book. "No wonder it's all such a fucking mess." Neal's talking about his world, his life as a Hong Kong trader--"he's a man of departments, compartments, apartments"--but he might also be describing the experience of reading Ghostwritten. At once loquacious and knowing, leisurely and frantic, Mitchell offers his readers a huge, but fragmentary, portmanteau which builds in the links between its parts--aching bodies, reality police, the "ghost" writer in the machine of contemporary life, its mad, comic, and cosmic voices--without quite convincing you that they really do come together. -- Vicky Lebeau

Life's stresses can sometimes make it hard to focus. How do you focus through occasion pressure and chaos?
It's time to fight the testing culture and consider the bigger picture. How can educators better align learning for life and not for testing? As we make pedagogical decisions daily, teachers need to weigh the importance of learning vs cramming for a test that isn't going to impact a child's overall level of mastery.
We tried a lot of things before we had Google Sheets in our student media class, but since we started using it, things have run a lot more smoothly.
Many teachers deserve recognition that seldom comes. Let's change that. Simply by adjusting our attitude about how we respond to each other can have a ripple effect that has the potential to change education.

A survey is the perfect way to gather vital information. It provides an indication as to trends and traditions which are currently taking place so as decisions can be made with regards to making improvements or implementing change. In the UK, a recent survey showed that an elevated number of people are seeking the help of a no win no fee personal injury lawyer than ever before. Which area of the law demands the most attention? Accidents within the workplace.
No win no fee in Southport: Friendly, understanding and helpful
Whilst many people choose against taking legal action against an employer for fear of losing their job or causing an unpleasant working environment, they fail to realise that all companies are covered by liability insurance. Another interesting fact is that many workers are unaware of their right to claim for compensation. If a fellow worker causes an injury due to negligent behaviour, it is perfectly acceptable to seek the help of a no win no fee solicitor.
No win no fee in Southport: Making personal injury claims accessible
There are many instances which can warrant the right to file a claim against a colleague. A worker can be made liable if it can be proven that he failed to carry out duties safely. For example, someone responsible for operating a piece of equipment must ensure that the process is carried out safely and according to strict guidelines. If a fellow worker should become badly injured as a result of that person using the machine irresponsibly that particular member of staff would be deemed liable.
No win no fee in Southport: Helping you to piece it all together
If the worker failed to use the machine properly through lack of training, then blame is apportioned to the employer. In either of the two scenarios, an injured worker should not hesitate to seek legal advice from a no win no fee solicitor to reduce the risk of such an incident happening again.Next time, it could lead to very serious consequences. Someone could lose a limb or even their life so you owe it to yourself and your work colleagues to take action.
No win no fee in Southport: Helping you make the world a better place
If you have any doubts or worries about taking legal action, why not talk it through with the guys from Accident Advice Helpline. Call the freephone number on: 0800 689 0500. Ring from a mobile on: 0333 500 0993 or Text "claim365" to 88010. Alternatively, you can fill out the thirty second test on their website. Give them a call and find out where to go from here.

Emerging Market Stocks Tumble to Lowest Level in Six Months
Developing-world stocks have dropped to their lowest level in six months as investors fret about weaker economic growth and the end of the Fed's bond buying.
The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM) has fallen 1.5% to $40.68 today, the lowest since Nov. 16, 2012 if it were to close there today. It's down 10% from its Jan. 2 peak.
Individual countries are getting hit as well. The iShares MSCI Brazil Capped Index ETF (EWZ) has dropped 2.9% to $65.27, the iShares MSCI Philippines Investable Market Index ETF (EPHE) has fallen 2.8% to $36.43 and the iShares MSCI South Africa Index ETF (EZA) is off 2.7% to $57.95. Even the best performing country--the Taiwan--hasn't been able to avoid the selling--iShares MSCI Taiwan Index ETF (EWT) has fallen 0.6% to $13.59.
It's not as if emerging-markets have done anything particularly grievous today. Brazil removed some of its capital controls, Taiwan and the Philippines reported muted inflation and Poland's central bank cut interest rates.
But as much as emerging-market nations like to believe they control their own destinies, that's probably not true. Sure, they can cut rates--well, most of them can--but it's unlikely to undo the damage caused by less free money in the U.S. Societe Generale's Sebastien Galy explains:
We know where we are going, the only debate is speed and the brutality or not of this process. USD vs EM are only corollaries in this process, tightening conditions in EM as easy money disappears with its usual consequences. We are USD bullish, helmet resting on some English grass, waiting and waiting in a far more civilized world.
And what has already been a rocky ride could get even rockier.

Sonja Schenk | About
Sonja Schenk is an internationally-exhibiting artist who was born and raised in Los Angeles. She began with video installation works and has since turned to painting and sculpture. She recently had a solo exhibition at the Museum of Art and History (MOAH) in Lancaster, California and also at the Prescott College Art Gallery in Arizona, and she created a commissioned outdoor sculpture for Porch Gallery in Ojai, California.
She was artist-in-residence at Shasta-Whiskeytown National Park in 2014 and also at the Thomas McKeon Center for Creativity in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 2016. She has shown work at the Yokohama Triennial in Japan, the Musée du Papier-Peint in Switzerland, the Vincent Price Art Museum in Los Angeles, and the Berkeley Art Center in Northern California.
Her work has been featured in NY Arts Magazine (Blouin), the Eastbay Express (Oakland, California), La Liberté (Fribourg, Switzerland), and the arts journal AEQAI. She holds an MFA in Film from USC and a BA in Visual Arts and Communications from U.C. San Diego. She also studied studio art at the Université de Bordeaux, France.
"My work is about the intersection of humankind and the natural world. I seek to develop an iconography that suits the reality of a world where the stability of nature, as we know it, is unlikely. I hope to provide an interpretation of this new world order through the juxtaposition of images, objects and materials.
All of my work begins with ideas. Each piece must have a strong conceptual basis which can then be further developed through a somewhat formalist use of materials and, if appropriate, the extension of painting into 3d space. My work is influenced by my physical surroundings. I live and work in Los Angeles, a place where miles of sprawl gives way to empty landscapes: the sky, the desert, the ocean. I've always been fascinated by this vast minimalism and the way it allows you to focus on small details. In particularly, I'm interested in things that are in a state of flux: plastic stuck on roadside fences, tumbleweeds, the wind on water.
My environment has influenced my work in another important way: props, backdrops and other tropes of "cinema" are often present. Illusion, sleight of hand and the facade are common elements in my art. For me, film has also had the effect of rendering time into something tangible. I often employ bifurcation or multiplicity to explore the concept of time. I hope to provide a meditative yet physical vantage point for the viewers of my art, an environment for reflection."

Inspiration from Vintage styles.
Some more pieces picked up to add variety to my pictures. Working on finding more color variations; metals, wood, and otherwise. Loving finding little treasure boxes or intricate filigree book holders. A wonderful thrift store opened near me. It reminds me of a few in New York I visited where they had vats of old photos, furniture, books, and just about whatever else you could want. I can spend a few bucks and get three or four nice pieces for photography! I could also spend hours just rummaging.

The Theme & high school Essay
The Theme & high school
Ambition: it is a person's drive to achieve something. The entirety of the discussion in this essay may be zeroed in to just one word, Ambition. It is the lack of ambition that led Flick to settle to just being a gasman. It must be the reason why he did not get a scholarship for a college education. With his excellent performance as a basketball star in high school, he could have acquired a college or university scholarship easily. But he did not. That part of his life is skipped in the poem, but ending as a gasman and the line, "he never learned a trade" (line 19) implies that he did not get any education after high school.
It is possible also that he did not even finish his high school education. This poses the questions was Flick's fate caused of lack of ambition or was it a choice? Every person needs to have a drive, a motivation to be somebody. High school is the stage when adolescents determine what they want to become. It is then that students are exposed to different career orientations so that they may match their potentials to the career that they choose. Education is important especially for young people who have the opportunities to study. Even the government is concerned about the growing number of youngsters who would rather not go to school.
There is such a thing as "No Child Left Behind Act" (Kafer 2004), a policy of the government to make sure that all children will have a chance to go to school. There could have been no reason for Flick not to finish his studies. Sometime in Flick's life, he must have lost his ambition. Maybe because he became frustrated with school; he must have failed in his subjects because of too much concentration in basketball or he must have fallen in love and became broken-hearted. It is possible too that he was simply lazy to further his studies.
Updike must know the reason but chooses not to include in his poem. Many good basketball players complete their college education and become company executives or successful businessmen. Others turn professional like Kobe Bryant who joined the NBA at the age of 17 while still in high school and earned $3. 5 million in his first 3-year contract with the Los Angeles Lakers. Kobe broke the association's norm of promoting college education to their players. (Kobe Bryant Bio 2007) Though Kobe did not get a college education, he was smart enough to turn pro and earn millions. Flick is not like Kobe.
Flick did not have an ambition. He just became a gasman because he had no other option. His basketball career was over and he did not learn any skill. He had to make a living because he was not getting any younger. Flick's community at Pearl Avenue empathizes with him in his misfortune. For them, it is good enough that they have memories of the once basketball star in their community high school; that basketball star who still holds the 390 points-in-a-season record. It is also good enough for them that their basketball idol sometimes shows them some exhibition play as a gag.
They may share enjoyments remembering those times when their friend was in the limelight. They may also share some faults for letting this happen to their friend. Updike tried not to show any judgment of the situation. Agreeably, it is not fair to judge Flick's career as a gasman because it is a decent and respectable job. But Flick as a young man has already experienced being popular and being a gasman is very much in contrast to that. It is normally expected that successful men will aim for bigger successes. Flick did not; he made a 360 degree turn. Flick's future depended solely on himself; on what he wanted it to be.
