Smith Official DNA & One Name Study Project
Smith DNA Official Project-All Locations-A FamilyTreeDNA Project
|I need to remove (delete) a spouse/child/extra family (TNG)
Remember this is one big shared tree. Very easy to do, with the proviso you cannot delete people. (We do not delete people but unattached people are periodically checked for merging) Look to the right of the spouse you want to fix (this assumes you are logged on and have editing rights to that family). On TNG, because the tree is collaborative and not a series of individual trees, the permissions are set so that you cannot delete a person or family. You CAN *remove* a person and if you want them removed from the database or merged, just send us an email request or we will ourselves occasionally run through the database and look for merges or other extraneous information.On the family screen, look to the right of the person – you will see FIND, CREATE, EDIT and REMOVE. You can REMOVE that person.Removing that person as a spouse will NOT delete that person from the database. So, if you, for example, had Jane Doe as a spouse for John Doe who had 2 wives and Jane is actually the spouse for the 2nd family, just remove her and then FIND her on the new family and add her back. Be sure and always save your changes.
If you accidentally make a second family for the same people, you can go into the family you want to change, REMOVE the father, REMOVE the mother, and REMOVE the children and then save. Your OTHER family will not be affected.
For the Smith Official DNA Project (All Locations) a minimum of 25, or better, 37 YDNA markers, is strongly recommended. Many times one can appear to match other kits but the match falls apart after 12 markers. We do not attempt to match kits into groups on less than 25 with the exception of a strong paper trail or known family kinship with another tester.

It was as almost as if Derrick Rose didn't understand the question. And not the question being asked, but why it was being asked in the first place.
The question was this: should the Chicago Bulls move on now that he's had two consecutive knee injuries, both requiring surgery?
"That the Bulls should move on? What you mean by that," he asked, half smiling, almost as if to make sure he'd heard correctly.
After the question was explained and elaborated upon further, Rose said, almost to himself, "What can I say to that?"
And then he seemed to go into deep thought and took his time before he gave his answer. 12 seconds, in fact, but it seemed like so much longer.
Derrick Rose is very aware of the negative things that have been said about him since his ACL injury and what was perceived by fans to be a refusal on his part to play last season. But Rose maintained the high road, seemed to take it all in stride, and even said that in a way, he understood why people would've been upset
But move on? The Chicago Bulls go in a direction that doesn't include him? No, he didn't understand that question at all.
Finally, his answer came and he matter of factly replied, "You can be a fool if you want. [I'm] dead serious; I know I'm going to be alright."
Even in his defiance, Derrick Rose came off humbly. It's why he's one of the more respected players around the league because everything he says, he believes.
D. Rose has a remarkable ability to ignore the negativity on the outside and stay within the confidence he has in himself that keeps him in a positive mindset. To him, two knee injuries mean nothing and in his mind, he won't be diminished as player, despite the fact that history is not on his side.
But if anyone thought the Englewood native would be broken mentally after this latest career setback, they were sorely mistaken. Derrick Rose is just as confident a player two knee surgeries later, as he was when he first stepped into the league.
So even though he may not understand why people doubt him, Derrick Rose still seems to be as determined as ever to prove everyone wrong.
"My faith is good, my spirit is good, and I'll be back … I'm used to being in this position. I've been in this position my whole life – an underdog," he said. "I couldn't care less what people say about me or criticize my game or how I play. How I play is how I play, and that's hard. Like I said, I can get hurt 10 more times, as long as I'm playing hard and giving the game my all, I can live with it for the rest of my life."

Letting Go of God
Letting Go of God by Julia Sweeney
This book (er … recording, I guess; this is only available on audio, since it's a recording of her one-woman show, and was never published in print) was name-dropped a couple of times in Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion. I didn't receive Dawkins' message as well as I had expected, due to his tone, but I was still interested in reading about others' experiences with atheism, and I thought hearing about it through comedy would be the way to go. At the very least, I figured Sweeney's tone wouldn't be as abrasive as Dawkins'.
I'm so glad I did, because this is such an enlightening piece. Sweeney starts her story at age seven, as an Irish-Catholic girl who enters the so-called "Age of Reason", when she's no longer considered a child, and can now be accountable to God for any sins she may commit. From there, she takes us through her life as a Catholic, as a believer, and her life as a rationalist, where she tries to make sense of the God she worships. It's a fascinating journey, told with equal parts comedy and tragedy, one that involves discussions with Mormons and priests, nuns and hippies, and even a stubborn believer in intelligent design.
Sweeney's story is intensely personal, as anyone's story of faith must be. Major events in her life dictate her faith, such as her brother's painful death from cancer, and she relates those events with the emotion they deserve. Interestingly, when faced with the possibility that there is no God, she finds herself asking questions about those very events, and asking what they meant to her when she removed God from the equation. Some people would view it as pointless suffering; Sweeney viewed it as an impetus to do more in life to prevent those sorts of things from happening to other people. It's a perspective I've never considered, even though part of me has come to that conclusion on my own, just without putting it into those words.
Something else that stood out to me from Sweeney's story is how religion and faith forces people to look inward, and see the world as a very small place. Once that faith is removed, one looks outward, not just to other people in the world, but beyond, into space, where suddenly everything seems more glorious, more perfect, and more inspiring, even as it humbles us for being such a small part of the cosmic whole. When you look at all of existence as something that was built for us, it's less impactful than when you look at it as something that developed through the complex building up of happenings that brought us to this point in time. Carl Sagan said something similar in The Demon-Haunted World, but where Sagan gives it to us as something to consider, Sweeney uses it as the point of her own story.
Letting Go of God is an insightful, well-written memoir of faith and identity, told in a charming manner that uses emotion and laughter to carry us through Sweeney's struggles. More importantly, she tells us her own personal journey, without mixing it up into something that is supposed to be a guide for others, like Dawkins did in The God Delusion. As such, it's a piece that has value for any listener, atheist or agnostic or Christian or anything else. I can see myself revisiting this work many more times in the future.

Lydia Evan's debuted as a CP Designs stamp designer last week. I finally got a chance to use her amazing set, Tilly's Magic Garden. These little blooms are super cute and so easy to use. I love that you don't really have to line them up, so you have a bit more freedom and don't have to spend so much time getting it perfect.
I also used the new Hello die. I think I'll be using this a ton. The font is absolutely fantastic. I want every word ever written like this. (Maybe that's a slight exaggeration but you know what I mean!)
I can't wait to play with these products some more! Have you ordered Tilly's Magic Garden yet?

In the emotional short film Phantom Limb, a man finds himself haunted by the ghost of his partner's amputated arm, which grows more monstrous as his guilt looms.
Made by Alex Grigg, Phantom Limb is one of the segments from the Late Night Work Club's Ghost Stories. You can watch all of them below:
What makes Phantom Limb especially great, though, is the small movements of the characters: an affectionate touch, the way the man rubs his shoulder, details that convey what the characters are thinking far more effectively than words would.

FINANCE Minister Sammy Wilson says he cannot make a decision on whether £50m in deferred borrowing agreed with the UK Treasury will be spent on the A5 road project, until the outcome of a legal challenge to the road is known.
Mr Wilson recently confirmed Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander had agreed that the Executive could borrow up to £50 million less this financial year against an equal increase in borrowing in 2014-15 when funding for the A5 Londonderry to Aughnacloy road is likely to be needed.
Foyle MLA Pat Ramsey asked the Minister whether this "consequential will be used to fund the A5 road."
Mr Wilson replied: "The deferment of some £50 million Reinvestment and Reform Initiative (RRI) borrowing from 2012-13 to 2014-15 which I had agreed with the Chief Secretary to the Treasury and which was announced by the Chancellor in the Autumn statement is to be welcomed.
"As you will be aware the A5 project is currently subject to legal challenge and decisions on profiling of spend cannot be taken by the DRD Minister until the outcome of that legal challenge is known.
"This deferment of RRI borrowing allows the Executive to now accommodate the changing profile of A5 spend."

7 ways to use coffee in your makeup routine
You've always been advised to reduce your daily coffee consumption as its high caffeine levels are not healthy for you. However not many know that coffee has much more to offer to you than being your favorite morning wake-up call. Read on to find out how you too can reap these coffee benefits.
- Treat puffy eyes
Not many get enough sleep today with so many work deadlines and family obligations to keep up. This leads to puffy eyes and dark circles which can be reduced with coffee. Just apply the cool coffee grounds of your morning coffee to the under eye region and eyelids. Leave it on for about twenty minutes and then rinse off using cool water.
- Hair color
For better looking hair, just mix a teaspoon or two of ground coffee to a handful of your conditioner and leave it on your hair for about 5 minutes. This enhances your chestnut brown hair color.
- Reduce cellulite
Exfoliation and massage using coffee grounds can help stimulate blood flow in the body while tightening the skin. Moreover, the caffeic acid in coffee grounds make it a great exfoliator which helps boost collagen production.
- Scalp exfoliation
Not only can you use coffee grounds for exfoliating your skin, you can also use it for eliminating all the built up dead skin cells on your scalp and get a great shine to your hair. Just add 1/3 cup of ground coffee to your wet scalp and massage it in for about 60 seconds. Rinse off and follow with your usual shampoo and conditioner.
- Bright skin
Try mixing two tablespoons of organic plain yoghurt with a tablespoon of ground coffee, and apply to your washed face and leave it on for about 15 minutes. Rinse off. You find your complexion shining, glowing and looking more radiant, all because the caffeine in the coffee helps stimulate blood circulation.
- Pamper your feet
Coffee can also help soothe your weary feet. Make a coconut and coffee foot scrub by blending a cup of virgin coconut oil, two teaspoons of vanilla extract and half a cup of ground coffee. Then soak your feet in a tub of warm, soapy water for about ten minutes.
Apply a teaspoon of the scrub to the feet in a circular motion while soaking to exfoliate dead skin and then rinse your feet in warm water and pat dry. It is the moisture-locking feature of coconut oil and coffee's rich antioxidants which help remove, and repair rough skin.
- Better circulation
Coffee helps rejuvenate the skin by increasing blood circulation to the face. Make coffee ice cubes in advance and trace your eye region and face bone structure with one of the ice cubes every morning. This helps reduce puffiness and give healthier and brighter skin.

Free Credit Reports - A list of ten credit repair tips follows. This is by no means a complete list, maybe just enough to get you started.
Free Credit Reports, A payday loan or cash advances is a short-term cash loan that could tie they over until their next paycheck. Remember that payday cash loans offer temporary financial relief. It is important to plan to the future. To long term stability, they should set a budget or start saving money at that time ever or where ever possible. A payday loan or cash advance, along with a strict budget, could help they maintain financial health well into the future.
A score below 620 may prevent a borrower from getting the best interest rates, as they may be considered a greater credit risk--but it does not mean that they can't get credit. The process will probably be lengthier and, as noted, the terms may be less appealing, but often credit can still be obtainedThe widespread use of credit scoring such as the Credit Bureau Scores developed using the FICO model allows for speedy, objective analysis of credit histories. This means that borrowers who score well can get loan approval or credit almost instantly--something unheard of in years past. It also means that borrowers who once might have experienced problems with individual lenders' prejudices are less likely to do so. Because it is objective and based on large volumes of verified statistical data, credit scoring brings a new level of fairness to the credit-granting process.
Free Credit Reports, A: If an investigation doesn't resolve your dispute with the credit bureau`s, you can ask that a statement of the dispute be included in your file and in future reports. You also can ask the credit reporting company to provide your statement to anyone who received a copy of your report in the recent past.
According to Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) law one can have copy of their credit report annually with no strings attached and can have a duplicate of your credit report can signify the difference between you being accepted or turn down. It's a good to check your credit report regularly for accuracy and fix it if required.
After cheerfully considering all the factors involved as to credit reports selection, they could now fill up an application tom. They could do it online, just look to the different sites of the credit reports issuers.
Free Credit Reports - All Certified Residential Specialists were Realtors. So if they were looking to an agent in Bend Oregon or any place in the United States to that matter, they could search the internet with any browser to Certified Residential Specialist. Go to Find a CRS or fill in the city or state where they want to buy a home or need an agent.
Also informative is the list of "reasons" that may be provided to account for why a score isn't higher. With each credit score generated, the credit bureau also creates a list of the four most significant reasons--either for a poor score or, in the case of a good score, for why it isn't "perfect."
Although it may be difficult to find a bank to give they a mortgage its certainly not impossible. Banks want to made money or they may find one thats willing to take the risk.
Free Credit Reports, Among other console features were the daily national rate index, best national average rates rate watch alert program, industry news lines, tips or guides.

CHRIST IN WINTER: Reflections on Faith for the Years of Winter… ©
I posted this story in a slightly different form five years ago, but since most of CIW readers are old, I trust you will have forgotten it by now. Also, I just wrote it again, for a book I'm doing on preaching, and writers hate to get only one use out of a piece, so…
One evening I sat around in a big lounge with Will Campbell and Doug Marlette, the cartoonist. There were about twenty of us. Will started strumming his guitar and singing a story song. As Will sang, Doug sketched images from the song on a big pad on a stand.
The song was about a man who lived in the country begging his beautiful redheaded wife to stay home and not go to town. The refrain of each chapter of the story, as he begs every evening and she eventually leaves, is "She gave her heart to Jethro, but her body to the whole damn town."
Tom T. Hall later had a hit with that song, but I had never heard it before. I was really upset with that redhead by the time Will finished the song. I mean, "Some of her lovers were strangers." How bad can a wife be?
Will let us sit there and stew. It was a bunch of preachers, so we were righteously judgmental of this nameless woman. We were sort of intrigued, and wondered if maybe she lived nearby, but mostly we condemned her.
There is nothing in the Tom T. Hall song lyrics about what Will told us next. I just looked them up to be sure. After letting us think shallowly for a while, Will explained that the beautiful redhead was the night nurse in the emergency room at the hospital. I suddenly realized that it was Jethro, not his wife, who was being selfish and unfaithful, unfaithful to all his neighbors who needed help for their afflictions, unfaithful to his wife's calling. He had her all the rest of the time, but he did not want to share. She gave her heart to Jethro, but her body was a gift from God to give to a suffering world, to the whole damned town.
That time with Will and Doug was one of the highlights of my ministry years. First, I got to spend a lot of time with my great friend, Jack Newsome. We drove down to North Carolina from Illinois together and back again and never stopped talking the whole time. His car's heater gave out on the way home, and we froze, but that didn't hinder our talking at all.
Then there was Will Campbell, one of the main civil rights activists of the South, who was an unofficial chaplain to the KKK at the same time. When asked how he could do that, he said, "They're people, too. They need a pastor, just like everyone else."
He and Doug Marlette the great Pulitzer-winning political cartoonist for "The Charlotte Observer," whose cartoons were always picked up and distributed nationally, became friends along the way, and Will was the inspiration for "The Preacher" in Doug's comic strip, "Kudzu."
Will was born in 1924 and died in 2013.
The Will and Doug friendship was unlikely in many ways, including the age difference. Doug was born in 1949. Unfortunately, he died in an automobile accident in 2007. In addition to cartooning, he was a novelist.
To top it off, when one of the attenders at this small conference at Lake Junaluska saw my name tag, he said, "Oh, I know who you are. I read your articles in The Christian Century." No greater recognition for a writer than recognition.
When you get to spend a week with a friend like Jack Newsome and a legend like Will Campbell and a creator like Doug Marlette and a stranger who knows who you are, that's a good week!
I tweet as yooper1721
I became disturbed by the huge number of military suicides, both veterans and active duty, so I wrote VETS, about four handicapped and homeless Iraqistan veterans accused of murdering a VA doctor. It's a darn good tootin' adventure mystery story. My royalties go to helping prevent veteran suicides. You can buy it at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc. [VETS needs to be all caps when you look it up.]

Used tractors may be put away soon in favor of shovels and snow blowers. However, there is still some time to lay down some grass seed and take advantage of fall's favorable growing weather.
In doing so, consumers may consider a new type of seed that was developed by a Massachusetts man. Jackson Madnick, of Wayland, told television station NECN he created Pearl's Premium Low Maintenance Grass Seed because he hated all the work and chemicals involved in maintaining a yard.
"Our lawn only needs to be cut once a month, seldom or never needs to be watered after it's watered to get established, and never needs chemical fertilizer," Madnick told NECN.
The grass seed is a finalist in a Massachusetts-based contest that grants new companies funds to get their businesses up and running. A winner will be declared in the Mass Challenge competition toward the end of October.
And as that happens, people around the country may consider taking advantage of this time of year to care for their yards. Cooler temperatures can help grasses expand their root structure, thereby making them more prepared for the spring growing season.

Sportsbooks That Accept Bitcoin Cash
Last Modified on 1/1/1900
Bitcoin Cash is the continuation of the Bitcoin project as peer-to-peer digital cash. It is a fork of the Bitcoin blockchain ledger, with upgraded consensus rules that allow it to grow and scale. Does Bitcoin Cash really impact your betting plans? When it comes to crypto gambling there are four major names - Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dash and Bitcoin Cash.
In basic transactions Bitcoin Cash must be faster than Bitcoin. The world's most famous sportsbooks that accept Bitcoin Cash are Betcoin, Betonline and Cloudbet. There's another, possibly better option: You can simply stick to your plans and ignore Bitcoin Cash as a currency and use it only for payments with 1xbet.

A Hammer toe or contracted toe is a deformity of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the second, third, or fourth toe causing it to be permanently bent, resembling a hammer. Mallet toe is a similar condition affecting the distal interphalangeal joint. Claw toe is another similar condition, with dorsiflexion of the proximal phalanx on the lesser metatarsophalangeal joint, combined with flexion of both the proximal and distal interphalangeal joints. Claw toe can affect the second, third, fourth, or fifth toes.
The main cause of hammer toe is poorly fitted and/or poorly designed footwear. Any footwear that is too tight in the toe box, especially high-heeled shoes, can push the toes forward, crowding one or more of them into a space that is Hammer toe not large enough to allow the toes to lie flat and spread as they should. Other causes include the following. Changes in foot anatomy. Sometimes the metatarsal bones in the ball of the foot can ?drop,? creating a situation in which the toes do not make contact with the surface of the shoe. The toes may then contract at one or both of the joints to re-establish contact with the surface. Traumatic injuries in which toes are jammed or broken. Diabetic neuropathy. This can cause abnormal foot biomechanics due to nerve and/or muscle damage. Damage to nerves and muscles from other conditions, such as arthritis or stroke. Heredity.
If the toes remain in the hammertoe position for long periods, the tendons on the top of the foot will tighten over time because they are not stretched to their full length. Eventually, the tendons shorten enough that the toe stays bent, even when shoes are not being worn. The symptoms of hammertoe include a curling toe, pain or discomfort in the toes and ball of the foot or the front of the leg, especially when toes are stretched downward, thickening of the skin above or below the affected toe with the formation of corns or calluses, difficulty finding shoes that fit well. In its early stages, hammertoe is not obvious. Frequently, hammertoe does not cause any symptoms except for the claw-like toe shape.
Most health care professionals can diagnose hammertoe simply by examining your toes and feet. X-rays of the feet are not needed to diagnose hammertoe, but they may be useful to look for signs of some types of arthritis (such as rheumatoid arthritis) or other disorders that can cause hammertoe. If the deformed toe is very painful, your doctor may recommend that you have a fluid sample withdrawn from the joint with a needle so the fluid can be checked for signs of infection or gout (arthritis from crystal deposits).
Non Surgical Treatment
Your doctor may prescribe some toe exercises that you can do at home to stretch and strengthen the muscles. For example, you can gently stretch the toes manually. You can use your toes to pick things up off the floor. While you watch television or read, you can put a towel flat under your feet and use your toes to crumple it. Finally, your doctor may recommend that you use commercially available straps, cushions or nonmedicated corn pads to relieve symptoms. If you have diabetes, poor circulation or a lack of feeling in your feet, talk to your doctor before attempting any self-treatment.
Surgical Treatment
Surgically correcting a hammertoe is very technical and difficult, and requires a surgeon with superior capabilities and experience. The operation can be done at our office or the hospital with local anesthetic. After making a small incision, the deformity is reduced and the tendons are realigned at the joint. You will be able to go home the same day with a special shoe! If you are sick and tired of not fitting your shoes, you can no longer get relief from pads, orthopedic shoes or pedicures, and have corns that are ugly, sensitive and painful, then you certainly may be a good surgical candidate. In order to have this surgery, you can not have poor circulation and and must have a clean bill of health.

Coast Guard Station New Orleans investigates mystery sailboat adrift in the Gulf of Mexico
NEW ORLEANS — The Coast Guard is responding to a vessel adrift in the Gulf of Mexico approximately 80 nautical miles south of Cape San Blas, Florida, Wednesday.
Watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Mobile received a report at approximately 2 p.m. from crewmembers aboard a NOAA ship, the Gordon Gunter, that a 30-foot white sailboat named My Time appeared to be floating adrift.
Members aboard the Gordon Gunter reported that the My Time appeared to have electronics operating, sails stowed, and did not respond to radio calls or the ship's horn. Due to the sea state the NOAA vessel was not able to deploy their small boat for further investigation.
Coast Guard Air Station Clearwater launched a Sikorsky HH-60 Jayhawk air crew to investigate, but due to deteriorating weather they returned to base. Coast Guard Cutter Marlin crewmembers and an Aviation Training Center Mobile HC-144 Ocean Sentry air crew have plans to launch to investigate as soon as weather permits.
Anyone who may have information regarding this case is requested to call the Sector Mobile Command Center at 251-441-6211.

Sheena Hutchinson
(Seraphina #1)
Publication date: September 1st 2016
Genres: New Adult, Paranormal, Romance
For as long as she can remember, Seraphina Cross has experienced these visions that made her feel like there was more to life. It wasn't until one moment, one accident that her life changed forever.
She awakens the next day a new person in more ways than one. With no recollection of past night's events, she's forced to adapt to certain sensations she is experiencing all while trying to piece together what exactly happened to her that fateful night. Her strange, hectic life doesn't seem to make sense until she meets a handsome stranger. Only then does the puzzle finally piece itself together.
What she doesn't expect is the new powers she has developed attracting all kinds of unwanted attention. Thrown into a world she never truly believed existed she is forced to come to grips with who she is becoming while staying out of trouble long enough to figure out what needs to be done to fulfill her destiny.
The complete series:
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Smashwords / Kobo

GIVEAWAY! a Rafflecopter giveaway
As a series I LOVE how all the covers are extremely similar. I really think having covers similar like this shows their connection. Plus… they are gorgeous and extremely symbolic! I cringe when I see half naked people on the cover so when I see breath-taking covers like this that really pulls at people's thoughts and feelings. It's harder to pull off covers like this. You're working more off your readers feelings that just lust… I like it… A LOT!!
Seraphina's Awakening (Book One)
Book one is the perfect start of a fantastic series. This is a story about Seraphina "Sera." She is going through an extremely rough patch in her life and is having trouble dealing with, well, life. Sera is in her mid 20s and still living with her parents… I mean, we all know how terrible that is! I can't even imagine that as an adult… it sends shivers up my spine! Nate is just mad at GOD for making him take on this new job. And on Earth! (How dare He!) The nerve he has to watch over a measly human. It's just mind numbing! I love his cockiness!!
The Awakening is aptly named as it seems both Nate and Sera have awoken… finally! I really found this to be a fast-paced read that was really relatable. For the paranormal romance, which I don't normally read, I really LOVED this book! I was so happy I didn't have to wait for book 2… Seraphina's Initiation
Seraphina's Initiation (Book Two)
With book 2, I really feel like I'm getting into the meat of the situation. Seraphina is learning more about herself and growing. This is really the book where we see her as a strong lead and she is amazing!! Seraphina's Initiation really felt like its own book… yes, you should and need to read book one but this felt like its own entity.
I love that in this book we get more of Jack and open right to his POV. I love books with multiple POVs!! Seraphina's Initiation does not disappoint at all. I love the characters and Sheena Hutchinson mixes humor and seriousness flawlessly. Seraphina and Nate are the perfect blend of strength and culpability. This is one series you do NOT want to miss or pass by! I would have NEVER thought that I would enjoy paranormal romance like this but this series has changed my thoughts!!
Seraphina's Vengeance (Book Three) - Coming Sept 2017
Here I am… never thinking I've really enjoyed a paranormal romance type of book but gosh if I'm not salivating for all these books!! Sheena Hutchinson has definitely upped this series up to a 10… I mean, how am I suppose to rate this JUST a 5?!?! I can't even tell you all… this was just perfection! Book 3 is the best of the series! I mean… that completely unexpected turn? I'm just stumbling! This story is completely off the grid!
Seraphina's Vengeance delivers some of the most amazing plot twists that I have read in a while! I really don't (or shouldn't) go too much into anything in this review… the title tells you all you need to know, it's a story of vengeance and gone is the Seraphina that just goes with life. She's taking the bull by the horns and going to town… every analogy you can think of, insert here! I love how she's transformed, she's complete BAD ASS!!!!! She's morphed into one of my favorite female heroines! I did not see that coming! So walk into Seraphina's vengeance expecting the unexpected!
Sheena Hutchinson is taking on this intense ride and we have no idea where it will land! Enjoy the ride though! Hutchinson takes this book a little darker than others and I LOVE seeing this side of Seraphina. She's vicious! I flew through this book… like it felt like I was done within hours but that can't be possible, it took me at least a day! I'm just so sad that I'm caught up and am now awaiting the fourth book, Seraphina's Revolution! I'm ready!!
I received an ARC of this series with the hope that I will leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.

Daily Insights
Stock rebound continues. After trading higher every day this week, the S&P 500 Index is now up more than 10% from its closing lows on Christmas Eve. While the index is close to what we would consider meaningful resistance in the 2600-2650 level, we have seen some positive signs of risk-seeking behavior including small cap leadership over the course of the rally, and outperformance from previous laggards such as energy and homebuilders. Going forward we want to see continued broad participation from stocks, notably a surge in the percentage of S&P components hitting one month highs, and a rebound in macroeconomic indicators such as industrial metal prices and corporate credit spreads.
Falling gas prices weigh on U.S. inflation. Consumer price inflation data out this morning was in line with consensus expectations but fell to +1.9% from last month's 2.2% increase. A 7.5% drop in gasoline prices offset increases in food, shelter, and electricity services. Excluding more volatile components such as food and energy (Core CPI), inflation was up 2.2% year over year. Though not the Federal Reserve's (Fed) preferred inflation measure, consumer prices have ticked lower recently, but growth rates remain in a healthy range that supports flexibility on the Fed's part.
Time to Take Off The Blindfold? Investors seemed to have had blindfolds on over the past few months as they tried to hide from all of the bad news. Sometimes that may be a good approach, but there is eventually a time to remove the blindfold and look around. Today on the LPL Research blog, we'll look at some of the recent positive signs investors may have missed if they had their eyes covered.
Weekly Market Drivers. Global equities are poised for another week of solid gains as investors' optimism around trade negotiations between the U.S. and China that ended on Wednesday carried through the week. That optimism also helped push the dollar lower vs. major currencies, spurring gains in commodities like gold and oil, which rose for a tenth straight session yesterday. The increased appetite for risk assets lead to an upward shift in Treasury yields, though spread between 2-yr and 10-yr notes contracted a couple basis points. Look for more details on this week's market drivers post on the LPL Research blog after today's market close.

Hello DASH homeschool families,
I will be filling out the first meet roster for the April 9th middle school this week. I will send out a sample in a few days. If you do not come to my practices and you are particular about what events you want to run in, send me an email, or call me with that information. I will try to accommodate you. However we are a competitive team, and not everyone gets to run the events they like the best. (Like the 100 meters.) I may feel you are better suited to another event. I am usually right, so you should try your best at the events you are fortunate to have been put in.
I will have enough jerseys for everyone this week. If you have not gotten a jersey yet, see me after practice or make arrangements. I will be giving them out on meet day, but to make it easier on the coach, try to get them before then. The recommended donation for middle school is $15 plus a $10 jersey fee. The jersey will be your to keep. High school donation is $20, but you must return the jersey. I will be at the UW-Parkside practice next Saturday with jerseys for those athletes.
Try to get some exercise even though it is cold. It should be warming up later this week.
Also, I would love to see you tomorrow at Carroll University when I sing Handel's Messiah. The concert is a free gift to the community, and will be very uplifting.
Take care,
Jim Caspers
Hello DASH homeschool families,
I will be practicing on Monday and Thursday this week at Hart Park, 6:15 PM. This will be a one time change. It will be back to Tuesday and Thursday the following weeks. Our Kenosha practices will be at the usual times. I am planning on coming to the April 2nd UW-Parkside practice to check out the athletes.
It was great to meet so many new athletes this week. It looks like we will have a great team this year. Our first middle school meet is coming up fast, just three weeks away, so we need to get in a good workout on our own this weekend. If you have not been able to make a practice yet but still plan on joining the DASH team, contact me to let me know your plans. I will be starting to think about meet rosters this week.
The 2007 track results are up in the Results Archive. We had an especially good girls team that year that set many team records that still stand. It will be fun to see if those records will still be standing after this current girls team competes this year. All you DASH historians should check it out.
Take care,
Jim Caspers
Hello DASH homeschool families,
I will start practicing this Tuesday and Thursday, 6:15 PM at Hart Park in Wauwatosa. Hart Park Map Here are some notes for parents and athletes, especially if you are new to the team.
1. Dress in layers. T-shirt, sweat shirt and jacket. Bring gloves and maybe a hat. It can get very cold, especially at Hart Park in the evening. The track is wide open and nothing blocks the wind.
2. You should bring a water bottle.The water fountains may not be turned on yet.
3. I practice in any weather at Hart Park. It is up to you to decide if you want to come. Practice will be on. You do not have to call and ask. If it rains, bring appropriate clothing and expect to get wet. Sometimes in bad weather, we run relays under the bleachers. Everyone has a lot of fun.
4. If you cannot make practice because of another commitment, run on your own. You can get a good workout running around the block or in your back yard.
5. Athletes, talk to the coach! Let him know of any injuries or concerns you have.
6. This is a running team. The coach will ask you to run when you are tired. Yes, you should run when the coach tells you to run. You may give your input, but remember, when the coach makes a final decision, the decision has been made. Talk with the coach, ask questions, but do not complain.
7. Practices are social events, a time to make friends, joke around, and have fun. But when the coach is talking it is time to listen, and then give your best effort.
8. Parents and younger siblings are always encouraged to participate.
I have the 2006 middle school results in the Results Archive.
We were pretty good back then, especially for it being our first year. Pouring through the stats brings back a lot of memories. My son Zeb ran a few times as a third grader that year. He is the only athlete in the list that is still on the middle school team. The 8th graders that year would be college age now. How time flies. I put a lot of time on this to get it to look just right. I welcome any feedback on it. I will have the 2007 season online soon.
On a non-track related item, I will be singing Handel's Messiah Sunday, March 27th at Carroll University's Shattuck Auditorium at 2:00 PM with the Waukesha Choral Union. Admission is free! The doors open at 1:30. There are no tickets or assigned seats. It could be a great event to take your older children. The concert is over two hours long, but there is an intermission. The music is inspiring. Shattuck Auditorium's address is 100 N. East Ave. in Waukesha. If any of you adults are good singers, you may want to sing as well. You do not have to be a member of the Waukesha Choral Union to sing the Messiah.
Because I have a Messiah practice on Tuesday, March 22nd, I am going move the Tuesday practice that week to Monday, March 21st. I will remind you about this again next week.
Take care,
Jim Caspers
Hello DASH homeschool families,
The first Wauwatosa Hart Park practice will be March 15th at 6:15 PM instead of March 8th. Next week's weather is going to be terrible. But the real reason I am starting a week later is because daylight savings time is a week later than I thought. I am having a rough start to the season. I am sorry for the confusion. Please check the DASH Team Calendar for the latest practice schedules.
I am not getting as many high school meets as I would have liked. Having the dual role of head coach for middle school and high school for the first time is proving to be more of a problem than it was for cross country. I will be lowering the recommended donation to $20 for the high school team. I will also be lowering the middle school fee to $15 because it looks like we will be having a big team. The middle school athletes will have to purchase a t-shirt jersey for $10 as well. The jersey will be yours to keep and can be used for all future middle school track and cross country meets.
I will be having another email next week reminding you to dress warm for practice. Until then, try to get in a workout on your own when the weather permits.
Take care,
Jim Caspers

What of the
The Blind Spot of Same-Sex-Marriage Advocates, By Paul Mero Meridian Magazine (www.ldsmag.com) Monday, June 30, 2014
The optic disc is the point at which the optic nerve enters the retina. The optic disc is insensitive to light. It has no rods or cones and, therefore, cannot detect any images. The optic disc is also called the "blind spot." By way of analogy, we use the blind spot to describe many things in life to which we're simply insensitive and, ironically, over-sensitive to the point at which we're not willing to see what is real.
Parents are particularly susceptible to blind spots regarding their children. For instance, some kids just aren't gifted athletically or in the arts despite their parents' insistence. Politics has its blind spots, usually in the form of obligatory optimism (wherein a true believer can't face the reality of defeat) or extreme ego (wherein an unqualified or unprepared candidate for elected office convinces himself he is ideal).
Giving others the benefit of the doubt, the debate over same-sex marriage has its blind spots too – perhaps nowhere more pronounced than the inability of many same-sex marriage supporters to see the rational basis within the state interest over the definition of marriage.
The description of this blind spot does not include willful ignorance or callous disregard motivated by ideology or even an honest disagreement about what legal arguments trump another (e.g., equal protection or a state interest). This blind spot regards the inability of same-sex-marriage advocates to even see a state interest in Utah's marriage law.
In candor, I admit my incredulity about this blind spot. It's increasingly hard for me to give advocates of same-sex marriage the benefit of the doubt for this blind spot when they so easily and consistently argue for the socio-psychological benefits of marriage. "We just want what you have." "We want to be happy like you." Frankly, it's hard to believe that these advocates can't see the state interest in marriage when they clamor to get married on multi-grounded justifications rooted in the general welfare of men, women and children, and exemplified, at least partially, in amicus brief after amicus brief currently filed by friends of the plaintiffs at the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.
The state interest in the definition of marriage is otherwise self-evident and has been so, whether or not formally recognized under law, since the time families created communities that needed governing: Society has a fundamental stake in demographic progress and the welfare of men, women and children. If people aren't reproducing or, when they do, aren't doing so in the optimal setting to maximize the general welfare of men, women and children, state measurements of progress (economic, social, health, psychological, physical, etc.) decline. The intact, two-parent (male/female) family produces the best results in both of these criteria. The state interest is the best interest requiring, ipso facto, the adoption of policies reflecting what's best.
But, as I mentioned, giving others the benefit of the doubt compels us to advance the idea that same-sex marriage advocates who cannot see the state interest in the current definition of marriage must have a significant blind spot. These advocates seem to have 20/20 vision for their own self-interest but suffer an insurmountable blind spot regarding the general welfare and the common good – what we refer to as the state interest.
I argue that this blind spot – their optic disc in support of same-sex marriage – is what the state of Utah calls an adult-centric view of marriage and family. I argue that these advocates can't see the general welfare or the common good behind Utah's definition of marriage because self-centered individualism blinds them to only see what they want personally and not what's actually best for society. Of course, I don't begrudge anyone adult-centric expressions. Nor do I begrudge anyone individuality. I speak only of adult centricity when that thinking is insufficient and self-centered individualism wherein personal preferences are prioritized ahead of the general welfare of men, women and children – a destructive choice if we assume that everyone benefits from the common good.
This blind spot explains many things.
This blind spot explains why these advocates can't see the material and substantive differences between heterosexuality and homosexuality, between traditional marriage and same-sex relationships, and why men and women are not always interchangeable in familial roles.
This blind spot explains why these advocates idealize an abstract vision of equality. They narrowly view equality as sameness. People are equal under the law, but people are not the same. A women's restroom is for women, not for men. A mother is a female. A father is a male. Males and females are not physiologically the same. And, as we know from credible social science, no amount of mothering can replace fatherlessness. With a complete and realistic understanding of equality "marriage equality" is an oxymoron – unless we believe that everything about males and females are the same.
This blind spot explains why these advocates struggle with the American founding principle of ordered liberty. The term "ordered liberty" has been referenced in at least 750 federal court cases and, yet, nary a same-sex-marriage legal mind seems to have heard of it. The term is of Aristotelian origins. Edmund Burke, arguably the father of modern conservatism, made it a fundamental aspect of conservative political philosophy. In American jurisprudence it means a "preclusion allowing every person to make his own standards on matters of conduct in which society as a whole has important interests" (Wisconsin v. Yoder, 1972). Of course, we can see why same-sex marriage advocates have a blind spot for ordered liberty – their self-centered individualism "allowing every person to make his own standards" can't bear to suffer any limitations.
This blind spot explains why these advocates see marriage as only a "loving, committed relationship." It doesn't, however, explain why those two criteria even matter – surely there are many couples with marriage licenses who are not loving, committed or both. The expression "loving, committed relationship" is a meaningless token dangled by same-sex-marriage advocates to lull to sleep any federal district court judge looking for any excuse on which to hang his judicial justifications. In truth, for same-sex-marriage advocates, a marriage cannot be anything more than a loving, committed relationship for fear that physiology and biology might impose legal limits on their quest. A loving, committed relationship doesn't require parental or intergenerational considerations – no family considerations are necessary – only the desires of what two or more consenting adults arbitrarily agree to.
This blind spot explains why these advocates embrace substantive due process, minus the substance. Substantive due process is a term championed in progressive legal circles. What many people forget is that substantive due process was born of conservatism. This legal expression pushed jurists to discover and elucidate the essential meanings of life, liberty and property in cases wherein governments sought to limit or deny these rights to individuals. It begs jurists to explain life, liberty and property in the sacred context of what it means to be a human being – a very substantive conversation that progressives often avoid because natural law (the basis of this legal expression) repulses them.
The richness and depth of natural law is the enemy of self-centered individualism. Just as substantive due process has been used for 40 years to justify the killing of innocent life in the name of individual liberty, it now redefines marriage in the same way. Far from justifying same-sex marriage, a strict and authentic adherence to substantive due process requires these advocates to explain what about their relationships is inherent (not simply experienced) in terms of human dignity and potential – and this requirement is why they never respond. Their adult-centric view of life is an incomplete view.
This blind spot explains why these advocates fail to see how redefining marriage affects a culture of marriage. Advocates ask incessantly, "How does same-sex marriage hurt your marriage?" The answer is, of course, someone's same-sex relationship, marriage or not, has zero affect on my marriage personally. But few serious people on our side argue that one private relationship directly harms another private relationship. In other words, their question zeros in on their blind spot: Everything is about them. The conservative argument is that redefining marriage hurts a culture of marriage and, hence, diminishes the state interest in marriage (i.e., marriage formation, child-bearing and child-rearing). If marriage can mean anything, it means nothing, and this absence of a culture of marriage inevitably will devalue marriage among future generations. The debate over same-sex marriage isn't about the rights of homosexuals. It's not about them. It's literally about the future of society.
This blind spot explains why these advocates fail to see the self-inflicted harm they might cause to children. In every major court case of this ilk since the overturning of Proposition 8 in California, a significant factor has been the psychological welfare of children of adults who are in same-sex relationships. The predominant voice in these cases would have America believe that these children suffer immeasurable harm from external social shame and stigma. No doubt those feelings, where they exist, are very real for children. Arguable is the source of those feelings.
The blind spot prevents same-sex-marriage advocates from even acknowledging that their own adult-centric decisions about their private lives could play a role in adolescent feelings of shame. Nobody forced homosexuals to enter into misguided heterosexual relationships and marriages that produced children. Nobody forced homosexuals to adopt children or carry fetuses outside of natural bonds. These adults made choices that placed their children in progressive social circumstances. But, somehow, everyone else is to blame for any psychological harm to befall these children. Only a blind spot could project such blame.
Lastly, this blind spot explains why these advocates disregard any social science that challenges their preferences. The easy evidence to explain this blind spot is found in federal district court rulings favoring same-sex marriage. Judge after judge now casts aside accurate social science as questionable or irrelevant. In fact, legal brief after legal brief in defense of marriage displays honest research that completely disassembles plaintiff briefs to the contrary. In Utah's case before the 10th Circuit, the briefs from Dr. Paul McHugh and the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality obliterate the politicized briefs from plaintiffs' sociologists, psychiatrists and psychologists. Facts are facts and only a blind spot explains how facts honestly remain unseen.
Admittedly, an argument invoking a blind spot can be unfair. Any argument in one's defense can be twisted into an admission of one's guilt – the fact that you disagree is obvious proof for the accuser that the accused is guilty as charged. If we disregard politically charged motives, all that's left is honest disagreement. But that cuts against advocates of same-sex marriage who must hold to the doctrinaire position that the views of defenders of marriage and family are "irrational." Mere disagreement would entertain a rational basis for both sides. And that point, my friends, is non-negotiable by plaintiffs.

Meanwhile, state legislators, in a fumbled attempt in the Senate to embarrass Gov. Linda Lingle, dumped their proposals to spend $1.9 million for an aircraft to shuttle officials around, after the idea was criticized as unnecessary and costly.
But in making mischief, members of the U.S. House, enabled by the Republican National Committee, topped local lawmakers.
After the Sept. 11 attacks, then-House Speaker Dennis Hastert was provided with a military plane to fly him home to Illinois. However, that plane could not fly nonstop to California where Pelosi resides, so the House sergeant-at-arms, a GOP appointee in charge of security, requested a larger one.
Though fully aware of the circumstances, Republicans took to the House floor to denounce Pelosi, going so far as to submit an amendment to a renewable energy bill that called for a decreased demand for jet fuel for the specific type of plane she could have been assigned. Simultaneously, the RNC put out talking points to House members and GOP-sympathetic media outlets, resulting in a derisive headline in the Washington Times that read "nonstop Nancy seeks flights of fancy."
Democrats, not to be outdone in pettiness, responded by demanding the White House hand over complete accounts of President Bush's and Vice President Cheney's use of government planes.
With politics making for odd bedfellows, it was the Bush administration that came to Pelosi's defense. White House spokesman Tony Snow called the situation "silly," and went on to say that Republican criticism of Pelosi was unfair.
Even that didn't quiet Arizona Rep. John Shadegg, who slapped Snow down, declaring pompously that the spokesman does not have the duty Congress does to watch out for taxpayers.
Watching out for taxpayers is the reason Rep. Jon Riki Karamatsu gave for submitting the bill to buy a plane for Hawaii state officials. Karamatsu said he was just trying to save money, but House leaders, aware of the brouhaha that erupted when the Senate conducted a hearing on a companion measure, said they would not advance their version.
The Senate also killed its bill, though not before Sen. J. Kalani English tried to link it to Lingle, saying he thought it was part of the governor's legislative package. That wasn't true, but in politics, truth sometimes takes flight.

I've got 99 problems and 86 of them are completely made up scenarios in my head that I'm stressing about for absolutely no logical reason. -Will Ferrell in a recent tweat
Do you ever feel this way? I have an incredibly irrational (some might call it silly) fear that has been difficult for me to overcome. I am severely claustrophobic. This phobia is particularly difficult to deal with when I am on an airplane, and I do a lot of air travel. Although anxiety begins to build when the aircraft door shuts, as long as everything proceeds in an expected manner, I can deal with it. However, if there is a delay in any part of the process of getting into the air or getting to the gate after touching down, I develop a paralyzing fear almost to the point of believing I will go crazy. My chest tightens. My heart rate increases. My breaths become short and rapid. There are times I am right on the edge of my seat ready to shout, "If I don't get off this airplane, I'm going to die!"
Consciously, I realize these feelings are completely irrational, and I feel embarrassed even revealing this to you. Do you know anyone who has ever been stuck on an airplane for days, months, or years? Or do you know anyone, outside of victims of rare crashes, who has died on an airplane? I am absolutely aware that my fear is out of proportion, but that does not make my panic any less real.
What makes this so strange is that I do really brave and daring things in other parts of my life. For example, I travel all over Africa to places like Sudan and help people who are dying, often running from genocide. I have flown through no fly zones to put myself right in the middle of a civil war. You would think those would be the legitimate things I would be scared of, but they are not. I somehow can be very courageous in those situations and yet let an airplane stop on a runway and my mind goes crazy.
Why? What is it about this situation that drives my brain crazy?!
Just over a year ago while I was working on this chapter in The Rewired Brain, this fear reemerged. I had flown from Los Angeles to Cincinnati, where I boarded a connecting flight to Charlotte. I won't mention names of any airlines, but this particular night three planes destined for Charlotte failed their safety checks. By the time I crawled onto the third one, it was midnight and the temperature had fallen below zero. The plane moved out onto the runway and then pulled over to the side. It sat there for over an hour without any information from the pilot.
Within the first fifteen minutes, anxiety set in.
Why aren't we moving? Has the plane's engine or hydraulics failed due to the temperature? Are we going to stay in this small plane in Cincinnati all night? Does anyone even know we are here? I've got to get off this plane! Do I fake a heart attack?
God really does have a sense of humor. I believe this was his way of using one of my greatest, and on the surface, most irrational fears to keep the content of my book real.
I believe God was saying to me, "If you're going to preach and write it in your book, you are going to have to experience it just like everyone you are speaking to."
Over the years, I have worked hard through extensive counseling to reflect on this fear. Where does it come from? Why does it appear? I believe it is impossible in many cases to know the exact nexus of such a fear, but based on my Self-exploration, I believe in my case two childhood events are prime candidates.
One, as a child, I was the victim of bullying by some older boys. Every time my family made its weekly Sunday trip to the local swimming pool, these kids got their kicks by holding me under the water, often until I passed out. Two, I was sexually assaulted as a child by a family acquaintance for several months. This individual held me down. In both cases, someone stronger and bigger overpowered and hurt me.
I believe these early events created a heightened and desperate need to be in control of my personal space. When I am not, especially if I am confined in a closed area, I feel the same panic I felt when I was being bullied and abused and subsequently transfer that emotion onto my current situation.
Most of us have been hurt and experienced bad things in our lives. They have created deep scars that leave many of us in perpetual fear and anxiety, with a need to control, and suffering from obsessions, compulsions, habits, dependencies, and addictions. In short, they can ruin our lives. My claustrophobia was yet a symptom of a far deeper emotional injury. However, the great news (And don't miss this!) is that we can heal from our injuries and traumas. We were all given these incredibly beautiful minds that can be rewired with new brain circuitry that allows us to live with joy, purpose and FREEDOM. I wrote The Rewired Brain to help others move beyond their fears so they could live free.

Bodily injury liability insurance
For most accidents, the most damage happens to the vehicles. Minor fender benders do not tend to send folks to the doctor or emergency room and require the services of either a mechanic or body shop. While these property damages can be costly, it is usually minor compared to the overall cost of the vehicle. So, property damage protection on an auto insurance policy is important.
However, probably more vital is bodily injury liability insurance coverage. For many accidents, even those that may appear insignificant, people can get hurt. It could be something as minor as a sore neck or it could be a fatality. It all depends on the severity of the collision. Bodily injury liability insurance is essential to cover the costs of anyone who may get hurt in a car accident: you, your passengers or individuals in another involved vehicle. On average, medical expenses can build rather quickly and can easily cost you more than the price of the car you wrecked.
Serious injuries also tend to invite people to file lawsuits, depending on the laws in the state where you live. If you are the at fault driver in an at fault or tort state, then you are going to be responsible for coverage the medical expenses of every person involved in the crash. If you are in a no fault state, you may only be covering your own medical bills. However, anyone can tell you the cost of that could be just as prohibitive, depending on your injuries.

The local Czech competition authority will decide whether Ahold's purchase of Spar's Czech activities can go ahead. The European Commission believes it is the most suited to assess the effects on the local market.
Market leader through purchase
The Dutch company had announced in March that it wishes to purchase Spar's 50 Czech stores, to add to its 284 Czech stores which operate under the Albert brand. The purchase would help increase its current 1.45 billion euro in yearly turnover to 3.3 billion euro and that means Ahold would become the market leader in this area.
Ahold has called it a "strategic" purchase, which underlines its intentions to remain active in the Central European market, despite selling off its Slovakian Albert and Hypernova formulas.

People pay the cost…. Musically
Yes, people will pay you to listen to the music that they put up so that they can have more people listening to their band or song. It helps both you get cash and them get exposure.
Most groups that do this want you to hear their music so that you can go and spread the word about this great sound you just heard from this great band you listened too. All is fair in love and music!
Take It To the Mall
Many places like the mall have booths that you can listen too and they will pay you to listen to a music preview that might be coming out soon. Most of the time they want you to let them know should they release that content in the first place or not.
Although you may not get rich off this, you will be able to earn a free buck with not having to do much except use your ears.
Where to Look? Everywhere!
Typically, you should look online for people that pay you to listen to their music. There are many places online that will pay you to listen to music. It's all about finding the right websites to go to and how much they are paying.

Re: incorrect simple floating point math
Posted: Fri Jun 19, 2009 5:06 pm
You know, the RATIONALIZE and FLOAT combo seems to be the most sensible way. It's funny that I thought it was a good idea for stock prices to move from fractions to decimals. If I remember correctly, Bernie Madoff was partly responsible for stock prices being quoted in decimals. I'm not sure how the programmers at NASDAQ responded to that idea... hehe.Harleqin wrote:Since someone mentioned financial calculations: Never do financial calculations with floats!
If you have precise fractions, don't use floats. The simplest way in Common Lisp is to use rationals, and convert input with RATIONALIZE and output for display with FLOAT.
I was pondering about this solution as well. I figure I could have a program count the decimal places, multiply them, and finally convert the results of operations back to decimal numbers, but I'm not sure how efficient it is compared to the RATIONALIZE-FLOAT combo...Harleqin wrote:For fixed-point arithmetic (like financials), just using integers as multiples of the lowest unit (e.g. cents) is also a good way.
