Hire Purchase
Hire Purchase allows you to take ownership of a vehicle once all payments are made.
This is one of the most popular methods to buy a new vehicle. You pay an initial deposit, then pay off the balance in monthly payments over an agreed period of time, when the payments are complete the vehicle is yours.
One of the main benefits with Hire Purchase is the ability to buy a high value vehicle on monthly payments.
Hire Purchase allows you to tailor your finance package as deposit, length of time and monthly payments are all flexible.

Personal contract hire is very similar to normal contract hire, but is exclusively for private individuals. This is one of the most common form of leasing.
With a personal contract hire agreement you take control of a vehicle for a contractual period � usually referred to as the �lease period�. You will make fixed monthly payments for the duration of the contract � when the contract expires you will simply return the vehicle and take out a new personal contract hire lease. PCH means you never have to worry about resale values of your vehicle.

Ten Second Review
A Skoda Octavia was once the least sophisticated of all the Volkswagen Group's family hatchback products. Not any more. Almost nothing has been held back for this third generation version, which now features smarter looks, new hi-tech 1.0 and 1.5-litre TSI petrol engines, the option of adaptive damping further up the range and more sophisticated optional smartphone connectivity.
You can trace the Skoda success story of the last couple of decades back to the original launch of one model: this one - the Octavia. Right from its very first appearance in 1996, this has been a car that's always super-sized its value proposition, offering more space than the class norm. For first and second generation versions, that class saw competition amongst Focus and Astra-class family hatches. This MK3 model though, took a step up in the world, virtually big enough to compete with Mondeos and Insignias in the larger medium range segment. An Octavia then, that's larger than previous generation versions were - and cleverer too - as it has to be to distance itself from the simpler, smaller Rapid model. The Rapid is the car to choose for Skoda motoring as it used to be, light on frills and cutting-edge technology but solid, reliable, value-laden and built to last. This improved Octavia, in contrast, is more a signpost to a direction the Czech brand wants to go in the future: one that shares the very latest technology with more luxurious brands in the Volkswagen Group stable.
Driving Experience
As with the Volkswagen Golf and the SEAT Leon, the German engineers who created this car took a pragmatic approach to driving dynamics, deciding that drivers opting for lower order engines wouldn't care too much about cutting edge handling response. So the sophisticated multilink rear suspension is reserved for the performance-oriented vRS models, the most powerful of which uses the 2.0-litre TSI petrol unit borrowed from the Golf GTI. Here though, we're focusing on the mainstream variants that most Octavia customers will be considering, all suspended with a much humbler torsion beam arrangement. A very large proportion of customers opt for entry-level petrol power, previously a 1.2-litre unit but now a more frugal and sophisticated 1.0-litre engine developing 115PS and 200NM of torque. It can be ordered with or without 7-speed DSG auto transmission and in manual form, makes 62mph in 9.6s. Otherwise, the engines on offer are much as before. Petrol people get a 1.5 TSI 150PS ACT unit or, in the top vRS performance models, a 245PS version of the 2.0 TSI turbo unit borrowed from the Golf GTI. Those in search of a diesel get either a 115PS 1.6 or a 150PS version of the usual 2.0 TDI unit, which is available with 184PS in the vRS. Opt for an engine with 150PS or more and you get the option of DCC adaptive damping. 4WD is an option with the 2.0 TDI engine. And handling? Well as we suggested at the beginning, it isn't really geared towards the needs of the enthusiast driver, though to be fair, bodyroll is well controlled and the steering direct and precise. If you're after more than that, then you'll appreciate one of the sporty vRS models. Horses for courses you see. And if those courses are likely to be on the rough and muddy side, then you'll be interested in the four-wheel drive system also developed for this car, primarily for a Scout estate model with additional body cladding and a raised ride height.
Design and Build
Skoda people will probably quite like the fact that the look and feel of this car doesn't attract too much attention, even in this updated form where the lines have been streamlined, especially at the front. The two adjacent headlights form a dual face with a crystalline look and feature full-LED technology. The brand logo has gained more presence, with the front of the car featuring what the Czech maker hopes is a more powerful and wider appearance. Of course, it remains just as spacious as before and you get a feel for that when you lift the heavy bootlid. The cargo area is absolutely huge, the 590-litre capacity reached over a notably low lip and the space on offer almost double what you'd get in a comparably-priced Ford Focus and over 50% more than you'd get in a Volkswagen Golf. There's 610-litres if you go for the Octavia estate model. Has all this been achieved at the expense of rear seat occupants? It seems not. Enter in through the wide door openings and you'll find more headroom and elbow width than you'd get in comparably-sized Focus-class competitors too. Up front, you still wouldn't think you were in an Audi but everything's certainly much more Volkswagen-like these days in terms both of fit and finish, the feeling supposed to equate to that of 'wearing a well tailored suit', according to the design team. So-called 'Simply Clever' features include an allergen filter for the Climatronic air conditioner, an optional rear-view camera that's kept clean using washer jets and an optional umbrella under the front passenger seat. Plus iPads can be mounted to the front seats' backrests.
Market and Model
Expect to pay somewhere in the £18,000 to £33,000 bracket for mainstream versions of this Octavia. Should you want the spacious estate rather than the five-door model, then there's an £800 model-for-model premium to find. The UK best seller will be the 115PS 1.6-litre TDI diesel version, a variant that commands a £1,000 premium over the similarly powerful 1.0-litre TSI petrol alternative. These are the two engines you'll find in most UK Octavias. Want an alternative? Well if you're a petrol person, there's a £1,000 jump to go from the 1.0 TSI to the 1.5. And if you're a diesel driver, there's a £700 premium to go from the 1.6-litre TDI to the 150PS 2.0-litre alternative. If, having considered all of that, you decide that this is the car you want, then you're going to want a strong standard specification to be part of the deal. And by and large, you shouldn't be disappointed. The two bodystyles - hatch and estate - are mated with eight main trim levels - S, SE, SE Drive, SE L, Sportline, Laurin & Klement, Scout and vRS. Whichever one you choose, your car will come with alloy wheels, tinted glass, climate-controlled air conditioning that also cools the glovebox, a height-adjustable driver's seat, a four-spoke leather-covered steering wheel, a trip computer, an eight-speaker stereo with a DAB digital radio and USB and AUX-in sockets and a hill holder clutch that stops you from drifting backwards on uphill junctions. The optional Skoda Phonebox with wireless charging connects a smartphone to the car antenna by near-field coupling without the need for a cable, thus offering high call quality and best data reception.
Cost of Ownership
The big news for Octavia buyers in recent times is that a turbo-charged, three-cylinder petrol engine has replaced the 1.2-litre, four-cylinder variant at the foot of the range. From its engine size of 999cc, the 1.0 TSI powerplant produces 115PS and is 8% more efficient than the previous 1.2 TSI unit. The 1.0 hatchback with manual transmission can return up to 50.4mpg, while emitting 107g/km of CO2. Go for the 1.5 TSI ACT powerplant and you're looking at 48.7mpg on the combined cycle and 112g/km of CO2. The rest of the engine range is also very efficiency-minded. Best of the bunch is the 1.6-litre TDI diesel, able to return up to 58.9mpg on the combined cycle and up to 107g/km of CO2, thanks to a Start/stop system that cuts then engine when you don't need it, stuck in traffic or waiting at the lights. Opt for the pokier 150PS 2.0-litre TDI diesel and you can expect 56.5mpg and 111g/km of CO2. All figures are WLTP-rated. What else? Well, insurance ranges between groups 13 to 20 on the 1-50 scale for mainstream models. There's the usual three year / 60,000 mile warranty. And there's the choice between fixed or flexible servicing regimes, depending on whether your annual mileage is short or long.

Life's a beach in Israel. This small country is blessed by three seas — the Mediterranean, the Dead and the Red (the Sea of Galilee is really a lake, though it does have beaches too). With the help of recommendations from veteran tour guide Joe Yudin of Touring Israel and Hassan Madah of the Tourism Ministry, ISRAEL21c offers you the top 10 beaches in Israel, just in time for summer.
1. Beit Yannai Beach (Mediterranean)
Named after the ancient Judean king Alexander Yannai, the Alexander River north of Netanya was in a sorry state until a 1994 restoration project transformed the area into a lovely, wheelchair-accessible nature reserve. The beach is at the spot where the river runs into the sea.
Considered by many to be Israel's most beautiful beach and kite-surfing locale, Yannai is pristine and quiet. The Israel Parks and Nature Authority has posted signs with information on the natural features of the beach and its wildlife.
You can camp overnight here, and there are picnic tables, restaurants and showers. Don't miss the nearby eucalyptus grove and ancient ruins.
Entrance fee. Information: 09-866-6230.
The best place to snorkel in Eilat, Coral Beach is a popular diving reef and a family-friendly beach. Its setting on the world's northernmost coral reef affords visitors an amazing place to see the multicolored coral garden and the Red Sea aquatic creatures that inhabit it.
Rent a snorkel, mask, flippers and life jacket, walk along a short pier and step down into shallow warm water teeming with tropical delights. Sunshades and loungers, hot showers and a snack kiosk are available.
Entrance fee. Information: 08-637-6829.
3. Banana Beach (Mediterranean)
The entire west flank of Tel Aviv is one long shoreline lined with beaches. Banana Beach, located on the southernmost edge near Jaffa, has become a sort of hippie bohemian sanctuary on Friday evenings. It's a great place to end a walking tour of Tel Aviv, as young people begin gathering here at sunset for drum circles, singing and dancing on the cliffs.
The rest of the week, it's a fairly tranquil spot where you'll find people sunbathing or playing Matkot, Israeli beach paddleball. The Banana Beach café right on the sand screens films and sports events in the evenings for free. You can rent surfboards and wind surfers, or sign up for surfing lessons, at the Galim surf shop.
No entrance fee; sand chairs available for hire.
4. Mineral Beach (Dead Sea)
You want mud? You got it. Whereas at many Dead Sea beaches you can buy packets of its famous mineral-rich mud to slather on your skin, at Mineral Beach there's a huge mud pit to climb into. Prefer a natural Jacuzzi? There's one here, too, fashioned out of hot sulfur pools.
When you get tired of floating on the Dead Sea, try the freshwater pool. At this clean and accessible beach, you can rent a towel or locker, get a health treatment or lie on a tanning bed.
The site also has an amphitheater, a cafeteria and showers to wash off the mud and sand. Mineral Beach is on the northern end of the Dead Sea, so it's a fast destination from Jerusalem and the surface is less pebbly than at the more southern beaches. (If you're into sunbathing in the buff, nearby Neve Midbar Beach has a secluded section for nudists.)
Entrance fee. Information: 02-994-4888.
5. Dado Zamir Beach (Mediterranean)
This central Haifa beach has pretty gardens along its long boardwalk promenade, beachside restaurants, pubs and coffee shops, free parking, benches and sitting areas, a dance arena (with weekly public dances and Israeli folk dancing on Saturdays), an amphitheatre for summer events, sports and playgrounds and a pool for toddlers. It's even got Wi-Fi.
The picturesque boardwalk runs from its southern tip to the northern part of Carmel Beach next door. For the disabled, Dado offers reserved parking, adapted showers and bathrooms, and ramps for easy access to and from the beach.
Information: 1-800-305-090; 04-853-5606/5.
6. Sironit Beach (Mediterranean)
Netanya has one of the longest coastlines in Israel, and offers eight beaches. What's particularly cool about Sironit, one of the city's southernmost beaches, is the glass-walled Beach Elevator that descends into it from the Rishonim Promenade along the cliff-top. This lets you get from the city center to the seashore in 20 seconds, for just one shekel.
Two breakwaters opposite the beach create tranquil bays for safe swimming almost all year. Sironit has a restaurant, stage and fitness facilities among its other features.
Parking fee. Information: 1-700-709292; 09-882-7286.
7. Metzitzim Beach (Mediterranean)
This northern Tel Aviv spot overlooking the S'de Dov airfield used to be called Sheraton Beach for the hotel that once stood next to it, but was later renamed for the Israeli cult classic film of the same name ("metzitzim" means "peepers").
It attracts a mix of hipsters and families, with calm, warm water due to a man-made lagoon. There's a café-restaurant and playground here, and just south of the main area is a separate section for the religious public, where women are admitted Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays; men on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Also in the area you can find beaches catering to gay sunbathers and another where dog-owners are allowed to let their canines romp.
8. Dor Habonim Beach (Mediterranean)
South of Haifa off Route 4, Dor Habonim ("Generation of Builders") is part of a coastal nature reserve, a relatively remote cove favored by nearby kibbutzniks and families.
Natural rock jetties in the sea are perfect for kids to climb and sit on, and along with natural lagoons, they also keep the waves from getting too rough. The reserve has walking routes that pass through the bays, from which you can see sights including caves and wildflowers.
There are no facilities here to speak of, and it's not accessible by public transportation. But these same qualities are what make it one of the most beloved beaches for Israelis in the know.
Beyond the swimming area is the home of Paradive, where you can go skydiving with a tandem instructor.
No entrance fee.
Eilat's public beaches tend to get quite crowded, but if you're willing to pay admission to the Dolphin Reef, you get the added benefit of a quiet beach where you can relax under an umbrella and watch the dolphins, or even join them in the water if you're age 10 or over.
"You'll feel like you're in Jamaica," promises tour guide Joe Yudin. There is a snorkeling and diving center here, as well as an underwater photography center and beachside café/bar. Adults can take advantage of the site's music-infused relaxation pools as well.
Entrance fee. Information: 08-630-0100.
10. Aqueduct Beach (Mediterranean)
Aqueduct Beach, Caesarea.
You can't beat this Caesarea beach for its setting among ancient Roman ruins. While sitting on the clean white sand, you'll marvel at the raised aqueduct built by order of King Herod in the first century BCE and expanded upon 300 years later to bring running water to the old city of Caesarea from the springs of Shummi six miles away at the foot of Mount Carmel.
There are no restaurants here (just a kiosk), but neither are there loud music or crowds. Lifeguards are on duty on only parts of the long strip of seashore, which is sometimes also called Arches Beach.
No entrance fee.

TRENTON, New Jersey (Reuters) - The mayor of Trenton, New Jersey's capital city, and two associates pleaded not guilty on Wednesday in a corruption case prosecutors say is laced with esoteric aliases, clandestine meetings and payments code-named Uncle Remus.
Trenton Mayor Tony Mack, who still holds office, his brother Ralphiel Mack and a restaurant owner named Joseph Giorgianni appeared before U.S. District Court Judge Michael Shipp to enter their pleas.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Eric Moran read out maximum penalties that could amount to 110 years in prison for Mayor Mack, 46, and his brother Ralphiel, 40, and 130 years for Giorgianni, who is 63 and appeared in court in a wheelchair.
Shipp set a trial date of February 19, though Mayor Mack's lawyer, Mark G. Davis, told reporters outside the courtroom he would probably ask for a postponement.
"I have not seen any evidence," Davis said. "Everyone is going to need more time, not just myself."
The lawyer ruled out any suggestion of a plea deal for Mayor Mack, and said the mayor had no plans to step down despite a call to do so by Gov. Chris Christie.
"He is going to keep his job until state law says otherwise," Davis said.
The three are charged in an eight-count federal indictment in what prosecutors say was a 2010 scheme to accept $119,000 in bribes so that Mayor Mack would help in the development of an automated parking garage on city-owned land. They were out on bail.
About $54,000 was actually paid, the indictment against the three said, with the rest to be paid later.
None of the defendants, all in business suits, spoke in court Wednesday, except to confirm arrangements for lawyers to represent them.
According to the indictment, a scheme was hatched to keep Mayor Mack from being caught. Money was channeled through Giorgianni and Ralphiel Mack, the indictment charged.
"They often used coded and cryptic language, including using the term 'Uncle Remus' to refer to the corrupt payments," the indictment charged.
Part of the effort to hide the scheme involved Giorgianni using the name "Mr. Baker" when sending text messages about the payments, prosecutors said.
Mayor Mack, not a tall man, was referred to as "the little guy" and "Napoleon." Giorgianni was also known as JoJo, which is the name of his Trenton steakhouse, and "the Fat Man," according to the indictment.
Prosecutors accuse the three of trying to conceal their activities by avoiding meetings in City Hall, which is near the federal courthouse, and instead gather at Giorgianni's residence, his steakhouse and restaurants in Atlantic City. (Editing by Daniel Trotta; Editing by M.D. Golan)

Maharam is my favorite commercial textile manufacturer of them all! I think they are most innovative and rule braking, and since we carry the largest collection of Maharam reclaimed fabrics I get to see a lot of cool fabrics by them. Here is some background as written by Maharam on their website: maharam.com
Maharam was founded in 1902 by Louis Maharam, a Russian immigrant. Through the generations, Maharam evolved from a source of theatrical textiles for costume and set design in the 1940s to a pioneer of performance-driven textiles for commercial interiors in the '60s.
Maharam is recognized for its rigorous and holistic commitment to design as a leading provider of textiles to architects and interior designers. Maharam embraces a range of disciplines, from product, graphic, and digital design to art and architecture.
Maharam textiles are included in the permanent collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Stedelijk Museum, among others. Maharam is the recipient of the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum Design Patron Award (2007) for its longstanding support of design and cultural initiatives. Maharam Agenda was published in 2011.

Fourth of July is less than a week away! If you are planning a party or gathering to celebrate the holiday, or simply want an excuse to make a sweet treat, check out this simple tutorial on making an ice cream cookie sandwich (red, white, and blue style!)
Chips Ahoy Cookies (American Summer/American Idol edition)
Vanilla Ice Cream
Red or Blue Sprinkles
Saran Wrap
1. Flip one cookie over and take a small scoop of ice cream and place it on top of the upside down cookie (you might need to use your fingers to mold the ice cream and place it neatly on top of the cookie).
2. Take a 2nd cookie and place it on top of the ice cream, making a sandwich. Squeeze it slightly so the ice cream slowly fills up the inside and reaches the edges of each cookie. If needed, use a butter knife to smooth out the edges.
3. Take saran wrap and wrap the ice cream cookie sandwich tightly so that the cookies and ice cream can stick together nicely. (Don't make it too tight that you squeeze the ice cream out of the edges!) Stick it in the freezer for a little bit to let the ice cream harden a little and mold to the cookies.
4. Once the ice cream cookie sandwich is molded together, take it out of the freezer to decorate with sprinkles. (I left my cookie sandwiches in the freezer overnight and the ice cream was way too hard so I left it out on the counter for a few seconds to soften to make sure sprinkles can stick onto it.) Roll into a bowl of sprinkles until the ice cream is nicely covered.

Have we ever really carefully read the Declaration of Independence? I think we all are aware of the key phrases that sum up what this document is declaring -- but do we know how much it really relates to us here and now?
On July 4, I thought about what it must have been like those many days ago and how it is in many places around our world, even now. I do like to just come and go where and when I please, manage my home and personal life, and take care of my family. Had I lived in any of the colonies in the 1700s, it would have been vastly different. I might have had to allow foreign soldiers to live in our home, eat our food and take over our living spaces. I really enjoy a cup of tea or iced tea, but I could not have paid the exorbitant price that included taxes used by a land across the sea to finance their endeavors, not those of our colony.
I would have no say, nor would any male in my family, about governance, how the rule of law would be applied, and how our personal goods could be taken from our home without permission. Well, it even might have been much worse than that.
I know you know all this, but ... the Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson, did not just happen out of the blue. A series of events led up to the final frustration of the original 13 colonies under British rule. Conflict increased between the Americans and their British policymakers. The colonies' opposition to British rule became increasingly evident after October 1765 when the British Parliament passed the Stamp Act to raise taxes to support their army in America. In November, the colonists enacted the action of their Stamp Act Congress by calling a boycott of British goods. Organized attacks against the businesses and homes of the tax collectors took place. Months later in March 1766, the Stamp Act would be repealed by Parliament.
This was not the end of the tax tyranny by Britain against the colonies. The tea tax instituted by Parliament resulted in the Boston Tea Party when protesting patriots dumped the contents of 1,800 pounds of tea belonging to the British East India Co. This so enraged Parliament the Coercive Act (the Intolerable Acts) was instituted in 1774. This act prevented colony merchant shipping and required Massachusetts to be under formal British military rule. Parliament later passed the American Prohibitory Act, which made all American vessels and cargoes forfeit to the Crown. British officers and troops were given special privileges against the colonists. The American Prohibitory Act made all American vessels and cargoes forfeit to the Crown.
The unjust taxation and lack of voice in what the colonies were experiencing led to increasing frustration on the part of the colonists who were treated as foreigners of the Crown.
The first Continental Congress was formed to unite the colonists' resistance to the British. Patriots formed secret militias to resist the British militia. On April 19, 1775, shots were fired at Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts when British troops were marching to take over a patriot arsenal they had located.
When they encountered some patriot militia at Lexington, shots were fired. This began more than a civil war. It was more than just a rebellion. It was the colonists struggle for their rights and for self-rule.
After May 1775, Britain's refusal to reform or even to negotiate brought more action by the Continental Congress. This congress served as the governing body of the colonies and encouraged states to form their own governments. (Note: the word "states" is in usage as well as "colonies".) The Continental army had been formed, Continental currency established, and a Post Office organized for the United Colonies.
By January 1776, the publication "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine further influenced support for the colonies to form their own government. On June 7, 1776, before the Continental Congress in Pennsylvania, Richard Henry Lee of Virginia read his declaration calling for independence from the state of Great Britain.
It began "Resolved: That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved." (This resolution would be adopted later by 12 of the 13 colonies on July 1, 1776, after the Continental Congress reconvened.)
The Continental Congress then assigned a committee of five patriots to write a document declaring the right of the colonies to be independent. Thomas Jefferson from Virginia was primarily responsible.
Between June 11 and June 17, 1776, he summarized the ideals of individual liberty and freedom expressed by John Locke and other philosophers who had written and advocated natural rights. Grievances against the King of England were included to justify the colonies right for self governance and separation from Britain.
The Continental Congress reconvened July 1, 1776. After the 12 colonies adopted Lee's resolution, the committee of five submitted to Congress the Declaration, which had only a few changes from Jefferson's version.
Jefferson utilized the first sentences for the Declaration of Independence from the Virginia Declaration of Rights, which was written by George Mason and accepted by the Virginia Constitutional Convention on June 12, 1776. Later, those words would be the guide for our Bill of Rights.
On July 2, 1776, Jefferson wrote: "I drew it; but before I reported it to the committee I communicated it separately to Dr. Franklin and Mr. Adams requesting their corrections. ... I then wrote a fair copy, reported it to the committee, and from them, unaltered to the Congress." Congress worked and debated all the next day until late the next morning until they finally reached consensus.
And then, on July 4, 1776, The bells rang out. All Philadelphia must have heard them. The Declaration of Independence had been officially adopted. Fireworks burst into the air.
Evidently drought was not of concern.
Yes, how blessed we are as Americans. But there is also a duty and responsibility that comes with the blessings and rights that we have received. We need to be aware of our rights and our privileges, and what we must do to preserve them.
They are not free; they came at a great cost. It is a great privilege, and a grave responsibility to vote, to keep aware of what our legislators promote, and keep them informed of our views and beliefs. We cannot say "My vote does not count so I don't bother to vote." We must guard our voting rights for this right came at a high price. Most importantly, we must live according to what we believe and not succumb to pressures against our conscience.
Americans have fought and died for this right. I have heard it said by a justice of the Supreme Court that "America has changed." That may be so, but truth and what is right does not change.
God bless America. In God we trust. God bless those who keep the true spirit of America alive. God bless those who have fought and died for what we believe in. Thank you, God, for the gift of this great land of the free. But remember that freedom is not free -- it comes at a cost.
And that is what the days after the Fourth of July should be all about.

I'm a nurse, so my physics background is about that of a lay person. Please explain on that level. Ordinarily an Intravenous (IV) fluid bag is one liter. An IV piggyback is usually 2500ml. usually the fluid in each is the same 0.45% NaCl. The piggyback may also get medication mixed in with it. such as a Gm of Rocephin. But the effect is the same without it.
The main one has a small gauge tube that is spiked into the port at the bottom of the bag that continues to the patient's arm, infused into the vein with, commonly a 18 Ga catheter. That tube will have a port, there the same gauge tube can be connected to the piggy back bag. The Main bag is on a pole, about 1.5 meters above the infusion site. the piggyback is placed just higher than the main bag. The accepted explanation for why the piggyback flows and runs out before the main one starts (intentional) is gravity. To say the higher one has higher gravity. I tend to disbelieve this explanation. Does anyone know what the real reason for this effect is? assume all settings are equal and there is no pump, and is gravity fed.

Do you or should you use such phrases and words despite being Atheist? I'm not sure, but I am very guilty of using them anyways, mainly cause of the culture I grew up with in the US. A smidgen of me enjoys knowing that it is meaningless to me but pokes at the offending religion that is Christianity. I really should be a better person and just drop them from my vocabulary completely, yet I have the thought that it would just look like I am justifying or giving power to that religion over me. Your thoughts?

Mordecai, thanks so much. You used "God" just as I would have.
We assign items their proper place, you and I. And we agree in this!
Mindy, I cannot imagine so refined a person as you would resort to such expressions. Christ-on-a-crutch, say it ain't so!
Oh well. Enjoy the f trip.
Hell if I want to get into swearing round the world. All god's chilluns gots they ways and means to make they feelin's felt by other'ns.
My mother tongue is the Queens English; born in Manhattan, I grew up in the Rockaway Beach section of Queens. ;-p In the course of my life I have added curses from other languages heard in the streets and they have enriched me. Words from Greek, Italian, and Spanish were among the first I added to the repertoire. Later I found that some of the colorful words in Yiddish were taken from Slavic languages; more for my patois of profanity.
Much of this "bad talk" is tinged with religious overtones; I've heard Sicilian grandmothers curse god in frustration, and god knows these women are believers. It's part of natural discourse and to censor myself either way is unnatural.
One of my favorite imprecations is generally a big hit with people. It doesn't profane, but disdain? Oh my, indeed! It comes from Yiddish: May a baby be named for (that person)! Soon! :-)
I use them, and enjoy creating variations most especially involving Jesus because it's such a great name to toss around. Lately it's been "sweetpotatojesus" or "jesusonapogostick" or "jumpingjackjesus" or "goddamnjesuchristo" or "muthafuckajesus" or "frackinsmakinjesus". I could go on. As a friend of mine said, swearing is pretty unoriginal, show you have a brain and swear with feeling!
I think this is much more a social issue than a religious one.
The phrases we use to swear completely depend on our culture. Those people who swore "by Jove" in 19th century England did not believe in Jupiter. Despite this, I suspect it lost none of its meaning or offensiveness in the context of that society.
I like my swearing and reserve my right to use it as desired. I might modify my language and use different swear words around friends who are offended by some words more than others.
Most of the time it is just an automatic reaction by me to denote annoyance or emphasis, used to communicate meaning in the same way as I use all other language.
You can just forgive yourself ahead of time and be forewarned that some might use your words as a cudgel to show you how you are actually a believer just like they are; after all, you call out to God and Jesus. You could also use the late Aleister Crowley's method: each time you blaspheme by taking the Lord's name in vain, slash your forearm with a razor just enough to draw blood. By the time the welts are just starting to heal, you will remember the pain and forego the holy names. Be sure and get a tetanus shot.

More San Diego County homeowners turned to short sales to avert foreclosure in the second quarter as the local market continued to gain momentum. Those were key factors that pushed down distress to lower-than-normal levels, based on a report from DataQuick on Monday.
The number of San Diegans who received default notices, the first step in the formal foreclosure process, fell 1.4 percent in the second quarter of this year (April to June) to 4,099 compared to the same period in 2011. This marks the lowest level of mortgage defaults seen in a single quarter in more than five years. In the first quarter of 2007 3,931 default notices were filed.
Foreclosure levels also have plunged. San Diego County recorded 1,391 in the second quarter, down 25.3 percent from the previous quarter and down nearly 50 percent from a year ago. The past quarter was the lowest one for foreclosures since the first quarter of 2007, when the county recorded 1,182 trustee deeds, which signal a foreclosure.
"Obviously the economy has been on the mend, however slowly," said DataQuick President John Walsh. "But because housing is widely seen by economists as the biggest drag on growth, some interesting alternatives to the foreclosure process are being discussed, such as the use of eminent domain to buy and restructure mortgages. Needless to say, we're all watching closely."
Walsh is referring to a controversial plan from San Bernardino County and its two biggest cities -- Ontario and Fontana -- to seize mortgages that are underwater through eminent domain. The effort is meant to curb future foreclosures.
According to several media outlets including the LA Times, the plan has drawn detractors from the financial and business sectors who questioned the legality of the proposal. Even the
Why is distress dipping?
A growing number of homeowners in San Diego County are completing short sales, a type of deal in which a lender agrees to accept a payment less than the outstanding mortgage amount. An estimated 19.6 percent of homes resold in San Diego County in June were short sales, up from 18.5 percent a year ago.
It's seen as more favorable than a foreclosure because the impact on credit scores and credit histories is less severe. A foreclosure typically stays on your credit report for about seven years, whereas a short sale stays on for less than that, depending on your situation.
DataQuick analysts also point to slowly improving economy.
The number of jobs added in San Diego County last month surpassed any single month of hiring in two yeas, according to the latest report from the state Employment Development Department.
Also, home sales continued to stay strong from the spring homebuying season carried over to June as inventory levels remain lower than normal and investors continued to snap up homes.
Still too early to celebrate?
Foreclosures and mortgage default levels continue to drop, but it appears we're still getting through the worst of the sub-prime mortgages, DataQuick analysts say.
The local data company said most of the home loans that are entering default are from 2005-2007. Where are we now? The median time of origination for these troubled loans is late 2006, which "has been the case for three years," Monday's DataQuick report said.
The distressed market in San Diego County may be improving on a quarter to quarter basis, but we see a different picture when we dice it by month.
There were 1,436 mortgage defaults in June, up 7.2 percent from May and up 6.1 percent from a year ago.
Foreclosures increased 2.5 percent to 437 when comparing June to May, but they dropped by 54 percent from a year ago.
Still, June's numbers are significant improvements from five years ago, based on DataQuick averages.

Jayco, Inc. was founded in 1968 by a man of strong faith and vision. The late Lloyd J. Bontrager, family man and inventor, felt he could build the world a better RV. He longed to create a company of his own, one that clearly reflected his ideals: a company where everyone would be treated as "family".
With encouragement from his wife Bertha, Lloyd started Jayco on their farm--in two chicken houses and a barn! He developed his own prototype camping trailer and a unique lifter system for fold-down campers, the basic design of which is patented and still in use today. By the end of 1968, his fledging company of 15 employees had sold 132 fold-down camping trailers.
Today, Jayco's "family" of employees has grown to nearly 1,500 people, while more than 25,000 people join our "extended family" of customers each year.
At Jayco, our mission statement is: Committed to being the most respected name in recreation vehicles. We will consistently build a high quality, high value, competitively priced product at acceptable margins, treat every situation with the highest level of integrity in a timely manner, and continually work to reduce total cost to achieve acceptable returns.

On last night's episode of the Celebrity Apprentice, it was Nene vs Star take, oh who's keeping count! The two ladies butted heads once again, well actually it was more of the Nene verbally attacking yet another person on national television, while Star just attempted to keep her
distance cool.
The episode begins with Nene Leakes still reeling over the elimination of her new BFF La Toya Jackson. You know, the same person she verbally attacked a few weeks ago and the same person she helped send packing. Nene is upset at Star Jones as she feels Star is manipulative aka playing the game, something the Nene clearly doesn't know how to do.
The task is to produce a live hair show using Biosilk and Chi products, with the winning project manager getting $40,000 for their charity of choice. Donald Trump wants to know who will be PM for the women's team and Nene immediately volunteers. Okay, all is well. Not! Almost immediately, the Nene loses her cool as she reveals the only reason she's PM is because Star told her to be. Evidently, she has to do whatever Star says, and even more interesting, asking someone to be a PM in the game of the Apprentice equals fighting words!
