Themed sibsets
So stuck on if I want to keep the president theme we have going on with our next baby or if we should name the baby what we really want. I am so scared I will regret breaking our president name trend.
Our daughter is Kennedy
Our son who is an angel is Carter
So we are thinking Nixxon if our baby is a boy or Monroe is our baby is a girl. I like both the names but I don't LOVE them like the other 2 names we have picked out.
Also Nixxon is a twist of my maiden name so it is sorta special.
Re: Themed sibsets
I like both names you have picked to continue the theme but I don't think it's necessary.
Re: Themed sibsets
TBH, I wouldn't even realize there was a "president ctheme" with those names if you hadn't mentioned it. I think those names are common enough that you could name the next one whatever and it wouldn't make that much of a difference.
Re: Themed sibsets
Thank you both so much for your opinions. :D
Re: Themed sibsets
I also wouldn't have picked up on a presidential theme. If you have other names you love, I would go that route without feeling like anyone would notice. I feel the third allows that. Like some people with same-letter first names for the first two...third either makes it (all must be named with that letter if that one is) or breaks it (pick a different letter and could choose whatever after that). You are good no matter which way you go.
Re: Themed sibsets
I think the names are cute but I agree I dont think the presidential theme is a must. I think you should go with names you love. That being said I think Monroe is a super cute girls name :)
Re: Themed sibsets
Thanks ladies :D I guess we won't be going with the president theme.

Children on the autism spectrum have difficulties in understanding and evaluating their own emotions. Here's an activity that helps develop these skills.
As children with Autism, Asperger's or PDD become older, we need to teach them to make choices. Also understanding the concept of priority, or what they want the most is very important. To teach children these skills, we need to first teach them to understand themselves and evaluate their feelings. You must have seen charts that allow children to point and identify if they are feeling happy, sad, angry etc. This activity takes that evaluation one step further. We get the child to tell us what makes them happy the most. Here's an idea I used with a child that I am working with. Hope you find it useful for your kids too!!
Making this chart was really simple. I just found a few clipart images on the internet, put them together on a word document and printed them out. Here's what it looked like.
The child has to look at each picture and decide how happy it makes them feel and rate it between 1 and 3 stars. When I first explained this activity , the child was a little confused, so I worked with her on the first few pictures, but after a while she got the hang of it and started rating all the pictures on her own. I let her draw the stars to show how happy it makes her feel.
Once your child gets the hang of it, you can use this concept and help the child rate activities as they do them, just to see how much they enjoy them.

A recent Awards night held at Mumbai, attained by so many celebrities. Most of the men appeared in the event were looking dapper in well dressed. They were in lavish suit. The luminaries presented in the events were including Anil Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapor and many more. But it is the Ricky Behl of the tinsel town who stole the thunder from the event, he came out in very casual outfit anyway.
Something interesting happened here! The young actor of "Dil Dhadakne Do" meets with his childhood idol, superstar Akshay Kumar and the 29-year-old actor completely goes crazy for the King Kumar.
Ranveer Singh not only graced the occasion, but he was the center of attraction too. But the artist has different agenda, he thinks B-Town superstar Akshay Kumar is well-dressed man ever.
In the event, Ranveer met with his childhood idol the Khiladi Kumar of Bollywood and accurately tries to peruse him. Reportedly, the budding superstar "Ranveer whooped in the air on spotting Akshay. He landed next to the Bollywood superstar and said, "Akshay sir, I have seen many of your films as a teenager. I had even landed on the sets of your film Keemat (1998) and took an autographed from you. Sir, I still have that autographed saved with me".
Akshay couldn't resist Ranveer's incredible charm for him and when the younger cineartist insisted the senior actor on seeing him off to his car, the senior actor couldn't prevent himself from accompanying him.
The GQ party held last night and GQ Best Dressed Men 2015 is considered to be the biggest style extravaganza of the year. It was a star-studded function.
While, Khiladi Kumar seen walking in a semi-formal attire- a ganji topped by his blazer. His style seems like blissful for the occasion. The superstar successfully grabbed the attention from his aficionados and why not after all he is Akshay Kumar.

Mike's Moves to Make
Buy: Defense stocks, food and beverage stocks, infrastructure stocks (on pullbacks), very short-term fixed income ETFs or funds
Sell: REITs, housing and mortgage stocks, home improvement retailers, long-term bonds and bond funds, emerging markets, oil
Remember my warnings about "Bloody Wednesday?" I invented the term to describe the chaos that Federal Reserve interest rate hikes would unleash on the markets (since Fed meetings conclude on Wednesdays).
Boy, did my forecast ever pan out last year! Within a few short weeks of the December 16, 2015 rate rise, volatility exploded, gold surged, and the Dow Industrials plunged by more than 2,000 points.
In part because of that turmoil, though, the Fed went into "chicken out" mode. Instead of delivering a few more rate hikes in 2016 – as the Fed itself forecast it would – policymakers kept inventing excuses not to.
But the jig is now up. The Trump-Quake unleashed by last week's election all but guarantees the Fed will have to hike again at its meeting on December 13-14. It also radically boosts the chance of multiple Bloody Wednesdays in 2017.
Crazy? Not at all – and I'll tell you why. The Trump administration is talking about unleashing massive debt-funded, tax-and-spending programs the likes of which our country hasn't seen in decades. Up to $1 trillion in infrastructure spending (partially funded through public-private partnerships), large corporate and consumer tax cuts, regulation cuts, and more are coming down the pike.

Winning is easy: Just answer three multiple choice questions. All you have to do is identify the five major events GUARANTEED to occur by the United States government in the month of December — each with power to make you substantially richer.
Plus, this is more than a fun contest: The CORRECT answers have the power to make you $74,253 richer by New Year's Eve. And the only way to learn the correct answers — and the specific investments Boris and Kathy name — is to enter the contest!

That should boost economic growth in Trump-sensitive sectors, at least in the shorter term. But it will come at the cost of higher inflation, higher deficits, and higher debt. Estimates of the potential impacts are all over the map because no one knows exactly what Trump will propose or knows how much of his agenda will pass Congressional scrutiny.
But one non-partisan group, called the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, estimates Trump's programs will boost Uncle Sam's debt load by $5.3 trillion over the next decade. As a percentage of GDP, our debt would jump to 105% from 77%.
A separate non-partisan group called the Tax Policy Center estimates Trump's tax plans alone will boost our debt load by $7.2 trillion over ten years. One analyst, Mark Zandi at Moody's Analytics, said our deficit could balloon to 10% of GDP from around 3.5% now. The corresponding surge in growth and inflation could force the Fed to jack interest rates up to a whopping 6% by 2018 from just 0.25% to 0.5% now.
|Higher short-term interest rates are coming from the Fed.
Again, the precise details remain to be sorted out. But the trend is clear: Higher short-term interest rates are coming from the Fed. And the more fiscal stimulus we get, the more aggressive the Fed will have to be, something Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren just warned about in a speech this week. That could lead to some wild market moves, and more "Bloody Wednesdays," in the months ahead.
Of course, the Fed only controls short-term rates directly. Bond market investors drive longer-term rates with their buying and selling decisions, and they've been selling like mad since the election. That has made the last several days one of the bloodiest on record for anyone who didn't follow my advice and stay the heck away from long-term bonds!
Some figures to ponder:
- Globally, bonds have already lost more than $1.2 trillion in value over the span of only a few days. That makes this one of the worst bond market crashes in the last 20 years.
- Treasury bond futures alone have plunged more than 25 points in price since July. That's the worst wipe out since the 2013 Taper Tantrum. Ten-year note yields have surged almost a full percentage point to 2.28%.
- The 2-year Treasury also briefly topped 1% for the first time since December 28, 2015, while 30-year mortgage rates surged by half a percentage point to the highest since January.
So what does this mean for your investments? What strategies will help build and protect your wealth in an era of Bloody Wednesdays?
First, keep avoiding long-term bonds. Treasuries. Munis. Emerging market bonds. Mortgage bonds. It doesn't matter. Individual bonds, as well as bond mutual funds and bond ETFs that hold longer-term debt, are already getting hammered. That pain is only going to get worse over time.
Go through the list of every fund you own and check their average maturity and/or average duration figures. All fund companies provide this information. If the numbers are greater than two or three years, you're in trouble. Rising interest rates will pummel the value of your funds.
Second, get the heck out of things like Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Not only are they interest-rate sensitive, meaning they lose value in a rising rate environment. But both REITs themselves and the underlying commercial real estate they own is wildly, massively overvalued thanks to the titanic "Everything Bubble" that central bankers inflated with their reckless policies over the past eight years.
The Secret Your Insurance Company Doesn't Want You to Know
Your insurance company is hoping you make this one mistake—and they're banking on it—because it allows them to rip thousands of dollars out of your pocket each year.
Extra money you should NEVER have to pay …
So they work hard to make sure you never find out about all-too-common Medicare mistakes most Americans make.
We're going to fix that, and protect you from their schemes and tactics, by revealing these mistakes and showing you how to avoid making them, click here …

As the U.S. Fed is forced to raise rates, and long-term bond yields rise, that bubble is going to pop. It will do so at the same time lending standards are tightening, delinquencies on property loans are climbing (a topic the Wall Street Journal covered this week here), and supply growth has been out of control in sub-sectors like multifamily. Talk about a recipe for disaster!
As for housing, the surge in home mortgage rates over the past week caused purchase and refinance application volume to plunge more than 9%. Further increases in rates will drive monthly payments for prospective buyers even higher, taking some of the air out of home sales and home price growth.
That's bad news for housing and construction ETFs, as well as mortgage and housing-sensitive stocks.
Third, buy stocks that will benefit from a Trump-engendered spending binge and Trump administration policies. I gave a general overview of some of the favored stocks and sectors in last week's Money and Markets column.
But I went much further in two critical Flash Alerts that I sent to my Safe Money Report subscribers in the past week. I "named names," and provided specific recommendations, on investments poised to soar (or sink) in a Trump regime. Be sure to take action if you're a subscriber, or get on board right away by clicking here if not.
Whatever you do, don't just sit there and freeze up. With more Bloody Wednesdays headed our way, you have to get active, get prepared, and make adjustments like those I recommend in my Safe Money Report. That way, we'll all make it through this new era in better shape together. And as always, be sure to share any comments on my columns in the discussion section below.
Until next time,
Mike Larson

A handful of artists can evoke distinct imagery and a tangible mood with no more than the dropping of their names. Alice Cooper is surely among the first generation of theatrical rockers to possess the ability to shock and horrify at the mere mention of his nom de rock. It's been that way since Cooper first burst into the public consciousness with his band's 1971 masterpiece, Love It to Death.
Never a follower of fashion, Cooper was serenading boa constrictors, having his head cut off on-stage, and loving the dead when today's crop of shock-metal merchants were wearing snap-up pants. Thirty years after those seminal moments in the annals of horror rock, and far away from the hits and gold and platinum records of his glory years in the '70s, Cooper is still inventing horrible little scenarios and characters and setting them to a howling mad soundtrack.
Cooper took some decidedly questionable turns when he began painting on a heavy metal canvas, resulting in a few hits and a fair number of misses. With last year's Brutal Planet, Cooper returned to a more hard-rock approach, a cycle that closes with the release of Dragontown, an album that not only details Cooper's circuitous evolution back to pure rock but also continues the Dante's Inferno-like story line begun on Brutal Planet. With Dragontown, Cooper has found the right balance between the furious sonic possibilities he sought with metal and the blues-based rock that distinguished his '70s triumphs.

None of it could exist without Cooper's songwriting acumen, a skill he displays on Dragontown with the confidence and swagger that has permeated his best work. He's in great lyrical and aural voice on Dragontown, with pummeling rockers ("Triggerman," "Fantasy Man"), metallic ballads ("Deeper," "It's Much Too Late"), and an acoustic/electric pop oasis in the third act ("Every Woman Has a Name"). Dragontown is a superb synthesis of everything Cooper has attempted in his career, incorporating the brilliance of his successes and the wisdom of his failures into an album that will ultimately stand as one of his best.

The Cranberrys formed in Limerick, Ireland in 1990 by Noel and Mike Hogan. This band was originally called, "The Cranberry Saw Us" and featured singer Niall Quinn. When Quinn left the band, however, Dolores O'Riordan replaced him and almost immediately matched lyrics to a melody the band was working on. That melody would soon become, "Linger," one of the band's biggest hits. After successfully selling out their demo tape, the band changed their names to The Cranberries and began sending their demos to major labels in the UK. Upon signing with Island Records, the band recorded its first single, "Uncertain," which received poor reviews and resulted the band postponing recording their debut album. Everyone Else is Doing It, So Why Can't We was released in 1993 to virtually no attention, even with the release of "Linger" and "Dreams." It wasn't until the band came stateside, touring with The The and Suede, that they began to gain some attention and earned "Linger" heavy rotation on MTV, leading the album to eventually land at number one on the charts in England. Their follow-up album, 1994's No Need To Argue, debuted at number six on the US charts and showcased a harder sound with singles "Zombie" and "Ode to My Family." As the band's popularity grew, they moved back into the studio to record a third album, To the Faithful Departed, which would prove to be even grittier than anything they'd done before. Throughout the mid-'90s, rumors spread that O'Riordan was leaving the band to pursue an solo career and each time the band squashed them with the release of a new album. This was no different in 1999, when the Cranberries rose to number one with their song "Promises (Song)" and the album Bury the Hatchet. With the Cranberries currently on hiatus, O'Riordan is finally preparing to put out a solo album to be released in late 2006.
With tough, gritty backgrounds, the unique character of Dolores O'Riordan's voice, with its clear, powerful and sullen sound, is what sets The Cranberries apart from all other bands that appeared in the mid-'90s. Enchanting and dream-like are the best words to describe The Cranberries sound, which puts them somewhere between Collective Soul and The Smiths (the band's debut album was even produced by Smiths' producer Stephen Street). When they debuted in 1993, their contemporaries that year were Smashing Pumpkins and Radiohead. While all three bands have gone on to remarkable success, The Cranberries' sound was the most accessible of the three, providing a fresh pop sound that matured with each release the band put out, including the harder-edged, though not as successful To the Faithful Departed.

Peter Frampton - Soundstage Live, Chicago Trailer (2007)
18 January 2007 Music 110 mins
Pt. 1 This concert premieres on PBS January 18, 2007 Peter Frampton was one of the most successful arena rock stars of the '70s. Frampton still remains one of the most thrilling live performers around, and his two-hour Soundstage performance is no exception. In the first hour Frampton performs songs such as his classics "Show Me the Way" and "Nassau/Baby I Love Your Way". Pt. 2 This concert premieres on PBS January 25, 2007 In Peter Frampton's second hour on Soundstage, Frampton performs a thrilling cover of George Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun." Of course, "Do You Feel Like We Do" is the not-to-be missed showstopper. Following tracks: Off the hook Lying Lines on my face Show me the way Black hole sun Nasssau/Baby I love your way Do you feel like we do? All I want to be (is by your side) Wind of change I need ground Money (I'll give you that) Can't take that away I don't need no doctor While my guitar gently weeps

There seems to be some unwritten rule regarding holidays in the UK that says they're not really proper holidays unless you're at the seaside. It simply isn't
true. Some of Britain's most historic, entertaining, picturesque and enjoyable counties are miles from the coast and yet still provide a host of ideal destinations and attractions that will ensure a perfectly memorable holiday. If you think that UK a holiday is strictly seaside only, prepare to be persuaded otherwise as we present five fabulous counties that offer more than sand and salt air for your holiday.
1. Hampshire
In fairness, Hampshire does possess beaches if you're prepared to seek them out, but there's so much more to see and do in this traditional English county that you'll probably decide it's not worth the effort. Theme parks are always a huge holiday hit and Hampshire has one of the country's best in Paulton's Park near Romsey. Open almost all year round, Paulton's has enough white knuckle rides, family attractions and things to see and do to fill a holiday on its own.
More restful outdoor pursuits are to be found in the New Forest National Park. Although the UK's newest and smallest national park, the forest itself was designated as the private hunting ground of William the Conqueror in 1079. Today the New Forest is a haven for wildlife and a delight to all who experience its beautiful landscapes, charming villages and extensive opportunities for exploring, whether on foot, bicycle or horseback.
An unmissable blend of England's naval heritage and modern city-life are among the great things to do in Portsmouth, in whose historic dockyard the HMS Victory, HMS Warrior and the remains of Henry VIII's flagship, the Mary Rose may be visited.
Hampshire is also home to many fine stately homes and gardens, with the house and National Motor Museum at Beaulieu providing one of Hampshire's most popular and enjoyable destinations. See my post on handy hints for Hampshire for loads more tips on getting the most out of Hampshire.
2. Derbyshire
Sitting at England's heart, holiday destinations don't come any further from the coast, but Derbyshire's compelling combination of vibrant cities, charming market towns and rural villages attract holidaymakers from around the world.
Stately homes such as Chatsworth House, family home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, Haddon Hall and Tissington Hall are surrounded not only by their immaculately tended grounds, but also by the outstanding beauty of the Peak District National Park. Amidst these rolling hills and patchwork fields bordered by ancient dry stone walls, country roads connect market towns such as Bakewell, world famous for its pudding and Chesterfield, where the curiously twisted church spire is said to have been caused by the Devil's tail. Despite Derbyshire's remoteness from the sea, the town of Matlock Bath with its illuminations, amusements, novelty shops and cable cars could double as a typical seaside resort, and is a popular holiday destination during the summer.
Elsewhere in the county, agricultural life is to the fore and visitors can enjoy a variety of farmers markets, sheepdog trials, point-to-point races and many other traditional outdoor pastimes. Derby itself, Britain's youngest city, is a vibrant and exciting destination, packed with culture, entertainment and fine restaurants. In fact, Derby has a great deal to recommend it, much like the county which surrounds it.
3. Gloucestershire
Gloucestershire, the Cotswold County, is a year-round attraction for holidaymakers thanks to its diversity of landscapes, endearing stone villages and, in some parts, a traditional way of English life which has remained unchanged for centuries. In the west of the county the Royal Forest of Dean is one of Britain's last remaining ancient woodlands. Amid the forest's tranquil and picturesque nature paths and dedicated cycle ways are places where a multitude of outdoor activities such as climbing, caving, archery and white water rafting are offered. Meanwhile, the eastern side of Gloucestershire constitutes the greater proportion of an area of outstanding natural beauty known as the Cotswolds. The wolds themselves are the gently rolling hills that surround the county; an area once exclusively reserved for sheep farming.
Today, charming Gloucestershire Cotswolds towns and villages such as Stow-on-the-Wold, Tewkesbury and Upper- and Lower Slaughter attract holidaymakers who seek the epitome of a traditional and unspoilt English country village.
Gloucestershire's beauty is further enhanced by a collection of magnificent public gardens such as Cerney House Gardens in Cirencester, the Rococo Garden in Painswick and the historic Westbury Court Garden, the only restored Dutch water-garden in Britain. Gloucestershire's gentle pastoral beauty, relaxed pace and fascinating attractions provide a holiday that will leave you wondering why you didn't find an alternative to the seaside sooner.
4. Staffordshire
Few people would admit to placing Staffordshire high on their list of holiday destinations, but to those in the know the county is one of Britain's best kept secrets. Staffordshire's sheer diversity of landscapes, activities and places of interest provide enough options to fill several holidays. Affectionately referred to as the potteries, Stoke-on-Trent is a fascinating city indelibly associated with the ceramics industry and the birthplace of world-renowned brands including Wedgwood, Royal Doulton, Portmeirion and Spode. Many of the thirty potteries that remain in the city operate tours for visitors.
For lovers of the great outdoors, Cannock Chase is the largest surviving area of lowland heath in the Midlands; a rare and important habitat for wildlife. Within this area of outstanding natural beauty, Cannock Chase Forest is a haven for mountain bikers, whilst Chasewater Country Park provides ample opportunities for fishing, walking, go-karting and sailing.
History and culture are to be found in the magnificent estates and gardens of Trentham, Shugborough Hall and Biddulph Grange. Among Staffordshire's many interesting towns and cities, Lichfield is notable as the home of the only medieval cathedral in England with three spires. Anyone who enjoys beer should visit Burton-upon-Trent, once the world's brewing capital thanks to the quality of its water, and the birthplace of India Pale Ale. Finally, it's worth reminding any kids who aren't impressed by the thought of a holiday in Staffordshire that Alton Towers is here…
5. Surrey
Dispel the notion that the county of Surrey is merely another commuter zone for nearby London. Whilst it is true that Surrey provides easy access to the capital, as a holiday destination Surrey has a surprising amount to offer and its many cities, towns and villages have a charm and individuality that make them a joy to explore.Far from the urban jungle of expectation, Surrey is actually the most wooded county in Great Britain, and its proximity to the rolling chalk hills of the North Downs makes Surrey an excellent choice for a walking holiday.
Surrey is synonymous with sport; the first recorded mention of cricket originates in the county town of Guildford, and the county is also home to the famous golf course at Wentworth and to Kempton Park Racecourse.
Less demanding are Surrey's famous public gardens, with the Royal Horticultural Society's garden at Wisley perhaps the best known although Loseley Park and Claremont are no less worthy of attention. Similarly, Surrey is blessed with a selection of fine historic residences including Hampton Court Palace , renowned for its maze and Guildford Castle which offers panoramic views over the town. Two of the UK's best loved theme parks are to be found in Surrey; Chessington World of Adventures and Thorpe Park provide enough thrills, spills, family fun and entertainment between them to keep everyone smiling. And that's just scratching the surface; as a holiday destination the county of Surrey will amaze you with one amazing day out after another.

The eve of the year 2013 found me happily at home with my dog Maya, a good modern-day western and a few bites of chocolate. My high heel and tight dress days are over. I am perfectly content watching Robert Duvall and Kevin Costner (Boss and Charlie) run cattle from the backs of stout quarter horses across green meadows and through swift creeks to make a life for themselves during the harsh and exciting days of the American pioneers. I don't make resolutions on New Year's Eve anymore. Instead I work with God on a daily basis to chisel away at my shortcomings and improve myself and my life and hopefully the lives of those around me. But this year, I found myself resolving that 2013 would usher in the beginning of the journey across the last half of my life -- my own ride through lush green mountain meadows and swift creeks towards being the woman I was created to be, the woman I long to be.
I don't know how blogging will fit into my journey; I've started blogs before and didn't follow through. I intend to chronicle my thoughts, experience and decisions and maybe readers will lend their inspiration and advice. Or perhaps another woman will identify with my problems and solutions and I can be a source of comfort and empathy. Maybe my story will be a legacy to my adult sons who really don't know their mother very well because of divorce, estrangement and unforgiveness. Whatever the end result, the ultimate outcome is out of my hands and that is OK because I trust the One who knows the end of my story. But I do know that much like Boss and Charlie on the open range, I am anxious to get in the saddle. Times are a-changin' and there is no time to tarry long when a woman has dreams as big as the Colorado sky. I've got horses to ride, cattle to run and Life to live.

The Rhine in Germany was open to traffic in both directions Wednesday for the first time since a tanker carrying sulphuric acid capsized three weeks ago and blocked one of Europe's busiest rivers.
Vessels had already been allowed to pass the stricken tanker between Mainz and Koblenz in western Germany going upstream, but downstream traffic had remained blocked until Wednesday and a backlog of some 400 ships had built up.
The tanker Waldorf remained on its side on Wednesday, but technicians had managed to pump out explosive hydrogen that had built up from the nearly 2,400 tonnes of acid in its tanks.
The January 14 accident occurred in a stretch of river where the current is very strong and mishaps are not uncommon. Two crew members were rescued but two others went missing.

First, Bob Schaffer pushed to get the State Board to hold a public, recorded vote on litigation surrounding the governor's property tax hike.
To no avail, says the Rocky, but Schaffer has another idea that the Board could follow to bring needed open government:
State Board of Education members would post their expense accounts online under a resolution that could come up for a vote next month.Part of Bob Schaffer's broader bipartisan appeal is his consistent devotion to the principle of open and transparent government.
Apparently no other Colorado board posts its members' individual expenditures.
Board member Bob Schaffer offered the motion after criticism from legislators that the seven-member panel spends too much on travel and meals.
Schaffer, a Republican running for U.S. Senate, said posting the expenditures might put the criticism to rest.
The resolution could come up for a vote at the board's May meeting at the earliest.

WASHINGTON (AP) Leo Duroucher may have thought that ''nice guys finish last,'' but Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan begs to disagree.
''Without mutual trust and market participants abiding by a rule of law, no economy can prosper. Our system works fundamentally on individual fair dealing,'' Greenspan said in a speech in Grand Rapids, Mich.
The chairman of the Fed, returning to a theme he first raised in a commencement address in June at Harvard, stressed that the need for integrity in business dealings might appear to run counter to popularly held opinions.
''I do not deny that many in our society appear to have succeeded in a material way by cutting corners and manipulating associates, both in their professional lives and personal lives,'' Greenspan said in a speech to the Gerald R. Ford Foundation.But he said no economy can function properly if dishonesty is widespread.
''Trust is at the root of any economic system based on mutually beneficial exchange,'' Greenspan said in his remarks, which were released in Washington.
''In virtually all transactions, we rely on the word of those with whom we do business,'' Greenspan said. ''If a significant number of business people violated the trust upon which our interactions are based, our court system and our economy would be swamped into immobility.''
In his Harvard address, Greenspan told the graduates that ''your success in life and the success of our country is going to depend on integrity and other qualities of character.'' He urged them to resist the temptation to cut corners in their professional lives.
In his remarks in Michigan, Greenspan said, ''It is decidedly not true that 'nice guys finish last,' as that highly original baseball philosopher, Leo Durocher, was once alleged to have said.''
Greenspan said it is critically important that ''all Americans believe that they are part of a system they perceive as fair and worthy of their support.''

PP Sheet
What is a PP Sheet?
PP sheet stands for Polypropylene sheet, a thermostatic polymer produced in large amounts by the chemical industry. It has been used in a multitude of industries, ranging from the plastic industry to the textile industry due its many benefits. In addition to usability in the workplace, these sheets are also capable of use at home.
Home Uses for PP Sheets
Around the house, there are five major uses for the sheet.
1. Plastic products used at homes such as cups, bowls and even lights and fans are all comprised of some kind of Polypropylene. Indoor carpeting uses the sheets as one of the materials that allow it to last so long.
2. For those with outdoor swimming pools, the sheets are an essential component of the design. They are waterproof and, therefore, will last far long than any other material. Also incredibly useful for indoor carpeting, as spills are common but no longer a problem due to the waterproof nature of the sheets indoor carpeting is made with.
3. Food storage is essential, and keeping bacteria from infecting the food and causing illness is the most important aspect. The sheets are naturally resistant to bacteria and are even capable of reducing it within the foods stored in a container made from these sheets. This makes it a top choice for storage and will greatly contribute to the overall health of the household in which the sheets are utilized. Better still they can store band-aids and other medical supplies to prevent the minor cuts and scrapes that occur in everyday life from getting infected and causing other problems.
4. Pliability is perhaps the strongest feature. Used indoor handles and hinges alike, and even in coffee cups, the sheets can withstand a great deal of wear and tear that not only assures their versatility but also ensures a long lasting shelf life as well. They are sure to withstand the test of time and maintain their function, without it, they become brittle and are no longer useful.
5. Customization is the last important aspect. Home products are typically very generic and uninteresting to have around the house. Because of the mouldable nature of these sheets, the colour and shape can be drastically changed in order to make the item far more unique. This allows a little variety at home and can make things seem quite a bit brighter around the house.
By using such sheets to their fullest potential, one can prevent all sorts of issues, ranging from various health related reasons such as infections and food contamination to things as simple as spicing up the place with a little bit of customization tin the design. All in all, purchasing a material made from the Polypropylene material is a smart investment that will last quite a long time and optimizes many areas of your life around the home.
Five Commonly Asked Questions About Cathodic Protection
Cathodic protection is an important step that every homeowner and business owner should take because it really does make a huge difference. Unfortunately, not many people are aware what cathodic protection even means or what it involves. Check out some of the most commonly asked questions about cathodic protection below:
1. What is Cathodic Protection?
Cathodic protection is a method used to help protect metals that are buried deep in the ground from corroding. This is done through either turning the corroding metal into a cathode by an impressed direct current or attaching the metal to a galvanic anode. When cathodic protection is performed well through an impressed current, there must be an external power source employed like solar or AC. This method is also generally applied to those metal units that have large surface areas like storage tanks and transmission pipelines. With galvanic cathodic protection, though, it is all self-powered. That means it is the simplest type of cathodic protection. It's typically used on metal units found in a soils environment. However, this method can also be employed to those bigger structures found in sea water.
2. How Do We Know That the Cathodic Protection is Effective?
Cathodic protection has been employed for many years to protect underground pipelines, offshore oil platforms,antifouling, shaft grounding found in ship hulls and underground steel storage tanks. That's because many of these units are exposed to marine environments that are full of ballast water that causes corrosion. With all these years of employing cathodic protection, it's clear that it really does work to protect your units from corrosion.
How Cathodic Protection Works?
3. Is There Any Maintenance Required Once the Cathodic Protection System is in Place?
As soon as the cathodic protection system is installed, you'll need to get routine maintenance performed on it. This is typically done yearly. That's because there is always the possibility for something to go wrong over time. However, with this routine maintenance, you are ensuring for any problems to be caught early on. For those impressed current systems that are used, the maintenance involves a visual inspection of the unit and checks regularly after that. With all the new forms of technology, though, many individuals opt for remote monitoring systems. They feel this is a much more convenient way of having their systems maintained.
4. Does Cathodic Protection Involve a Lot of Electricity?
Many individuals are under the assumption that cathodic protection systems use up a lot of energy since they run continuously. Even though they are left on 24 hours a day, this is not the case. Actually, very little energy is used with your cathodic protection system. That's because most cathodic protection systems only use between 100 and 1,000 watts of power. This makes having one of these systems much more affordable.
5. Do Cathodic Protection Systems Have to be Installed by Professionals?
While there is always the option to install your own cathodic protection system, this can be extremely risky. Unless you have the proper training and certifications, installation and maintenance of your system should be left to the experts.
The Role of Anodes in Deepwater Cathodic Protection
Simply put, corrosion is defined as the process or action of corrosive chemical behaviour, which is a progressive modifi-cation or deterioration due marine growth prevention system, antifouling system, copper anodes
to chemical oxidation.
When it comes to certain job responsibilities and daily tasks many people associate the process of corrosion to the wasting away or rusting of a pipe that's buried beneath the ground. And so, corrosion can be thought of as the way natural forces continuously try to restore the developed works of humans to revert back to their original state of natural symmetry. Therefore, when it comes to a buried pipe, the process of corrosion is the earth and surrounding natural elements simply trying to restore the existing iron within the steel pipe to its original constant form of native iron ore or iron oxide.
The kind of corrosion that most people are familiar with and the kind that causes the most amount of damage to a buried pipe is known as electrochemical corrosion. This type is also commonly referred to as galvanic corrosion and sometimes known as electrolysis.
Using Anodes in Cathodic Protection
'Sacrificial anodes' are often used in cathodic protection systems. The anode consists of metal alloy containing a more active voltage than the structure's metal it's protecting, or the cathode. When it comes to potential, the difference between either metal indicates that the material of the sacrificial anode will corrode rather than the structure itself. This process successfully stops how the oxidation process reacts to the structure's metal that's being protected.
Also, there needs to be two other existing conditions in addition to the cathode and anode in order for the sacrificial anode process to work. Essentially, there needs to be a return existing path for the electrons to properly flow from the said anode to the targeted material it's intended to protect (physical contact is the most common way) and an electrolyte (i.e. humidity or water) to transmit the electrons.
Sacrificial Anodes
Sacrificial anodes usually come in three different metals: zinc, aluminium, and magnesium. Of the three, magnesium contains the most negative electro-potential and is more appropriate for on-shore pipelines since electrolyte (water or soil) resistivity is considerably higher. However, if the difference in electro-potential is too much, the cathode (protected surface) can possibly become brittle or sometimes cause the coating to "disbond".
Aluminium and zinc are typically used in salt water since the resistivity is usually lower. General uses include the hulls of boats and ships, in salt-water-cooled-down marine engines, inside the walls of storage tanks, on small boat rudders and propellers, and on offshore production platforms and pipelines.
The main benefits of using sacrificial anodes include the following:
• Easy to install
• No external power source required
• Overprotection is highly unlikely
• The low voltage and current that runs between the protected surface and the anode rarely produces stray current
• Monitoring and inspection is easy for trained staff
On the other hand, there are some disadvantages as well such as a restricted current capacity relative to the anode's mass, ineffectiveness regarding high-resistivity environments, increased water and air flow on moving structures (i.e. ships), and more weight on the structure being protected as well.

How To Get Smarter Deals Out Of Second-Hand Forklifts
Few would argue that the forklift is an indispensible piece of equipment in a warehouse or manufacturing environment where heavy materials need to be moved for production, shipment and other purposes. One problem that many businesses face is that a forklift can be a significant investment, particularly for a small business or one that's just trying to get off the ground.
Almost everyone prefers to purchase an item in brand-new condition but deciding to buy an item used normally represents a significant savings, and it is often possible to get years of service even from a used item. This is no less true for forklifts than it is for any other item. A good second-hand forklift or hand pallet truck might last nearly as long as a new one.
There are numerous places one can look when looking to buy second-hand forklifts. Contacting other local businesses might be a good place to start. Newspaper ads and online classified websites are another excellent source of used equipment for sale.
Retailers that sell new forklifts may also have some second-hand units for sale and even if they do not, there is a chance they will know who does. One possible advantage of buying a used forklift from a dealer is that they have probably inspected the unit thoroughly and can tell you what kind of shape it is in. They also might include a warranty and offer financing as well.
Buying locally is often the best course of action whenever possible, since transporting a forklift could add significantly to the cost, depending on the size and weight of the unit. It is also easier and less time-consuming when you decide to go check out a potential candidate for purchase in person. Buying something like a forklift without first inspecting it carefully is not recommended.
Forklifts come in many shapes and sizes, from a simple hand pallet truck for handling light-duty jobs to a heavy-duty motorized unit than can lift several thousand pounds. Knowing exactly what type of work a forklift will be called upon to do is mandatory before the selection process can begin.
It's also advisable to keep the future in mind. A business that is just getting started may find that their workload increases significantly as they become more successful, and they may even find themselves dealing with new products and materials they might not have anticipated.
Taking some time to research the various types of forklifts that are available will make the selection process faster and easier. A few hours of researching on the internet should provide the information required to make an informed decision.
Being informed will also be a great asset when the time comes to talk about the price of a second-hand forklift. Getting a good deal can be a hit-or-miss proposition if the buyer is not able to negotiate with a good understanding of the product.
A little research and some time spent searching for a reasonably-priced forklift that is in good condition will probably give the smart buyer years of dependable service from a second-hand forklift.

Sacrificial Anodes for Water Heater
The hot water heater is a crucial element of running a home that often performs without notice. That is, until it stops or begins to make funny little noises. Due to homeowners being basically inattentive to them they go far too long without proper maintenance.
Lots of people simply wait for their hot water heater to start making these funny noises before taking any action. At that time they believe it is time to replace it. This is great for shady salesmen but that doesn't make it true. It can be sediment buildup causing the hot water heater to make those noises.
Sediment buildup happens over time as minerals that occur naturally in your water build up causing the deterioration of the sacrificial anode.
In hot water heater terms the 'sacrificial anode' is a metal rod designed to corrode gradually over time. It can be made from aluminum, magnesium, or an aluminum/zinc combination. The water within your tank will set off an electrolytic reaction causing the exposed steel to fail. In order to protect the steel a magnesium or aluminum rod that is more reactive will corrode in its place. Once this anode has corroded then the steel within the tank will start corroding itself. Then your tank is headed toward failure.
Common sense dictates that if you replace this anode regularly then the steel within your tank will stay protected. Usually they need replacing around every 3 to 5 years. This prolongs the life of your hot water heater.
The sacrificial anodes work by being screwed directly into your tank usually near the top. That way they are more easily replaced. They are quite long and require substantial room for clearance when removing them from your tank.
It will depend on what type of anode you get as to how often it will need replaced. Some are more expensive than others but will not corrode as quickly. Many people warn against the aluminum anodes. They are cheaper but come with a whole other set of problems like breaking or contaminating your water.
There are some tanks that utilize 2 anodes. They will have the conventional anode placed at the top and also an outlet anode either at the top as well or down at the bottom of the tank. They should be replaced together simultaneously and the same metal types should be used.
They should never be mixed or matched separately. Regular replacement of your sacrificial anodes can get you many more years of use from your hot water heater without having to replace it. Some good information can be found at www.cathodicme.com online.

Green Printing for Green Drive
Green printing is one good way to support environmental preservation. There are big improvements in technology nowadays that harm the environment. People tend to forget nature's value and still do nothing to preserve it. Why not put together technology and ecology? Green printing is the answer to that. One example of a green printer is the UV printer. It utilizes 100% recycled paper, and the ink it uses is made from earth-friendly materials. In terms of quality, it produces high resolution, full-color pictures and letters that are waterproof, don't easily fade, and have been proven to last long. A UV printer can be used for flyer printing, tarpaulin drawings, digital images and many more. That's how technology and nature must work together hand in hand.
Being an an earth-friendly person, me and my friend Chee Yew Wen highly support and recommend this product. It promotes innovations in technology the positive way, without putting too much stress to the environment. This is the only planet that supports life; therefore, it is our responsibility to take good care of it. Let's not put other's lives at stake for our own personal sake because, in the end, it's not worth it. Let us be environmentally conscious and support green drive.

Milk fat contains considerable amounts of saturated fatty acids, known to increase serum cholesterol. Little is known, however, about the relative effect of different milk products on risk factors for CHD. The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of Jarlsberg cheese (a Norwegian variety of Swiss cheese) with butter on serum lipoproteins, haemostatic variables and homocysteine. A controlled dietary study was performed with twenty-two test individuals (nine men and thirteen women) aged 23–54 years. The subjects consumed three isoenergetic test diets, with equal amounts of fat and protein, and containing either cheese (CH diet), butter+calcium caseinate (BC diet) or butter+egg-white protein (BE diet). The study was a randomised cross-over study and the subjects consumed each diet for 3 weeks, with 1 week when they consumed their habitual diet in between. Fasting blood samples were drawn at baseline and at the end of each period. Serum was analysed for lipids and plasma for haemostatic variables and homocysteine. Total cholesterol was significantly lower after the CH diet than after the BC diet (−0.27 mmol/l; P=0.03), while the difference in LDL-cholesterol was found to be below significance level (−0.22 mmol/l; P=0.06). There were no significant differences in HDL-cholesterol, triacylglycerols, apo A-I, apo B or lipoprotein (a), haemostatic variables and homocysteine between the diets. The results indicate that, at equal fat content, cheese may be less cholesterol increasing than butter.

Aiswarya kolam
There are some special kolams which are only drawn in front of deities in pooja rooms (places of worship). Such kolams have some significance with a particular form of a deity, for instance - the Aiswarya kolam is drawn in the pooja room to obtain prosperity in the form of wealth/monetary gains. Goddess Lakshmi is worshipped for wealth and prosperity.
In the aiswarya kolam, after all the triangular shapes are drawn, it is customary to place coins in all the corners along with some vermillion/turmeric.
Please click on the blue button located at the bottom of the design to animate it.

CALEDONIA — Caledonia, Lowell, and South Christian have joined together to form a new co-op boys swim team and is enjoying a unique season.
Coaches are Stephanie Huyser for the girls and Andrew Vanderlei as the assistant. For the boys' team in the winter, they'll switch positions for the same co-op tandem.
Caledonia and South Christian had been part of Byron Center's team. They branched off and joined Lowell. It's Huyser's first year coaching at the high school level.
The swimmers travel to GR Community College for pool time.
"GRCC seems to be the most central location since the three schools are in such different directions," Huyser said. "We share the pool with West Catholic's team."
They are not hosting any meets.
"So far, they're doing really well," Huyser said of the girls' team. "We took first place this past weekend at an invitational."
The team has 22 swimmers and two divers, and competes in an OK Conference of all co-op teams.
"Caledonia makes up about half the team," Huyser said. "Lowell and South Christian are pretty equal with the remaining half."
Top swimmers in the 50 and 100 freestyle have been Sid Schering, who is close to getting state-qualification times for Division I.
"We have no doubt that she'll get it this season," Huyser said.
The relay teams are looking effective. Relay swimmers include Madeline Schmehling, Emma Norman, Zea Bud, Lexi Singscock, and Alyssa DeShane.
"Between them, we have a pretty fast relay team," Huyser said. "I could probably list 24 girls and have a fast team. All the girls score at least once.
"We have some events stronger than others. We have good swimmers in every event. In our 50 free, we have a lot of strong swimmers, as well as in the 100 free. We have a few really good long-distance swimmers and a couple of IM swimmers."
Winning the conference is among the team goals.
"We want to become a team, become like a family, and enjoy the season," Huyser said.

What is your logic behind your belief that people of faith or those who believe in good/evil forces believe in the absurd? I am interested in the system of logic that you are using and would like to compare it to the most highly respected conclusions of the philosophers of old. The scientific method (which uses experiments rather than just using deductive reasoning) is not philosophy, so please do not try to base a metaphysical conclusion on the scientific method. I want to know your philosophical reasoning (if there is any).
sort by best latest
There's an old saying, or rather phrase that goes, "You must believe in something". And it is the foundation of that phrase that goes to logic that the vast majority of people want to believe in something...and a logical conclusion is that they also want to believe in what is popular.
I believe that there is good and evil in all people. That out actions will dictate our fate. For instance, I take some affirmative actions that KNOW will hurt someone...be it physically, economically, socially...whatever. But if in my mind and heart I know and feel that my actions are wrong and unjustified...then I can expect bad Karma tenfold.
To rid oneself of the complexity of over a thousand religions and variations thereof...it's simpler to look at the big picture as good and bad....right and wrong...this places our morals, upbringing and ethical standards into play. The only problem with that is that not every person was raised with the same upbringing and instilled a certain moral character to make the process unanimous. But even still, it's simpler to ask yourself if your actions are right or wrong than to ask yourself if they conform to the standards, practices and dictations of a higher being.
I believe in God...but not as someone...more as an entity. Because no matter how hard or well life treats me...I still find a bit of relief when I thank someone for the beauty of life and all around me...who do we thank?
But as far as believing that living a righteous, God-fearing life will offer me the glory of everlasting life in the Kingdom of Heaven...I chose not to believe in that part. If what happens to us after we die is a matter of what is written in a book based on religion (a sort of life-manual with promises of a certain fate for one's behavior on earth)...then more educated people would choose the Koran for the perks of their heavenly rewards.
I believe that we live and die and that is that..so what we do when we are here is what matters...and the wrongs we do while we are here we pay for...while we're here. And the goods we do we receive life's rewards...while we're here. After that...it's all over folks.

Personally, I don't believe in God (or any supernatural being for that matter), or in an afterlife other than that of being a dead thing in the ground and feeding the worms, because I cannot feel his presence at all. I've been open to him, brought up a Catholic for the first half of my life, and he's offered nothing to me, not a shred of evidence of his existence. I don't reason about his existence philosophically, I just know that I have no belief in him whatsoever. Everything that I have read about God, about the Bible, about Jesus leads me to believe very strongly that he is a figment of very vivid imaginations - imagination can often cause the body to have physiological responses to things that only really exist in the mind when it comes to a person believing they have symptoms for particular ailments, and I believe that a similar sort of situation occurs when people believe that they have been visited by the Holy Spirit and such like.
It was the presence of so many contradictions in the Bible (which is supposed to be the Word of God) that first made me suspicious that perhaps he hadn't actually said any of it. Then the more I read of the Bible, the more I became dissatisfied with it, and in the end wondered how I could possibly have believed any of it.
I don't know about 'systems of logic', sorry, I only know about my own personal feelings.
If it turns out that he does exist, and if I'm lucky enough to meet him, I will ask him why he felt the need to be so cruel, so elusive, and so hypocritical (why he had some rules for some of his people, and different rules for others). Then he'll cast me down into Hell, and I'll get to party for the rest of Eternity :D

Once you understand how both the Old and New Testaments fit in with other, older religions/myths/belief systems - from which they were, essentially, copied - you see them for what they actually are.
People should also try reading the Bible 'straight' and not try to read into it something that isn't there. Take the name Lucifer from Isaiah 14: 12 - for instance - in 14: 16 Isaiah clearly states that he is talking about a MAN, '...Is this the MAN that made the Earth to tremble, that did shake the kingdoms?'
He is actually refering to an Assyrian king: Tiglath Pilesser, whose name - when translated from Hebrew - reads, 'I place my trust in the son of Esharra'. Esharra is a semitic rendering of Astarte, Asherah (God's wife), Eostre and Ishtar. All goddesses of the spring, Easter (hence the name), the harvest and childbirth among many other attributes. They were all, also represented by both the planet Venus and the constellation of Virgo.
Lucifer is the Roman name for the planet Venus: the MORNING STAR ergo 'the son of the morning'.
Tiglath Pilesser - by the way - conquered the kingdoms of Israel and Judah: that 's why Isaiah gives him a bad press.
Now I know this post is going to get hammered by the god police: I also know why; some people cannot live with the truth - they'd much rather believe a lie first told in ancient Sumer 6,000 years ago.

because there is no god. to me it is so simple that i find it hard to believe that people don't see it. i look at the world and there is no way it was created or controlled by some god. as for the devil, that's nothing but a fear tactic which is about 80% of what religion is about.

Partly my disbelief is due to the lack of evidence for God. There is evidence for evolution, yet the Bible and other religious books do not refer to evolution. Creationism really does not agree with the facts.
Partly my disbelief is because of the often fundamentalist bigoted views of the religious believer, who describe those with mental illness as being possessed by the devil, or deny equal rights to women or people of different sexualities. If Christians were more Christlike, I would be more inclined to listen to what they had to say. But, so often I see hatred expressed by Christians and those of other religions in the name of their god. This will never encourage me to engage with such people. From what I have read in the Bible, I firmly believe that Christ would not have shown the hatred towards his fellow man, that some of his followers do today. It is Christians that put me off Christianity, not Christ.

There is No God ... No Devil... there never was, get over it and move into the real world where we realists take responsiblity for what we do, be it good or bad.

funny, you reject science, yet ask for logic! there IS NO LOGIC to believing in gods and unicorns. it calls for unconfirmed, irrational belief.
philosophy is a long history of the evolution of the mind away from the bondage of a belief in any gods. or would you rather believe in the natterings of shepherds from 3000 years ago, only written down centuries later? why not use the egyptian gods instead? at least their civilization lasted for thousands of years
logically the only conclusion is simple -- there is no evidence for any god or devil

I started my tomato, pepper and melon seeds last week, days before our April snowstorm, howling winds and six inches of snow. We'd erected a little 6 X 8 greenhouse with a tubular frame on the south side of the house, and I had all my flats inside. On a sunny day, even with cool temperatures, the inside of that tiny greenhouse was hot! And I thought it could hold its own at night with normal April lows. But what to do with such a forecast as this? And lows in the twenties? We were scrambling for solutions.
We hung a troublelight inside with a hundred watt bulb, which by itself will throw off an amazing amount of heat. But I feared that wasn't enough. Then my husband dug out a little ceramic heater we weren't using anymore, plugged it into the troublelight, and turned it on medium. We waited for the storm.
The next morning I looked out the bedroom window with trepidation to see if my greenhouse was still there. The plastic sides were dripping with condensation and the only snow on it was a wet layer across the center arch. I went outside, unzipped the door, and ducked inside to check the temperature. It was an OK fifty-five degrees. Not bad, considering the winds were hard out of the north and visibility was nil. Everything else was covered with snow, including the white pine sapling I'd planted the day before.
We have been keeping the heater and light on around the clock, waiting for the temperature outside to return to normal. Yesterday, the sun came back out and the greenhouse got up to ninety degrees. Yikes! We are new at this. We opened the little window for a cooling effect.
And then, the miracle—a tiny green spike unfolded from the dirt, a Brandywine tomato.
This morning the greenhouse is alive with a host of fragile green plants and the sun is shining.
