In home decor it has a strong impact. Have you ever seen a wall all clustered with blue plates hanging in a grouping. Great for a hall or stairway area to make a statement. I love blue plates and dishes with different patterns all mixed together as a table setting. Fun to mix and match. I have seen a lot of mix and match in the fashion world lately as well, with all sorts of crazy pairings of plaids and flowers, stripes and paisley, and so on. Don't think I would be brave enough to follow that trend in fear that someone may think I dressed myself in the dark, but I have always adored paisley. I am attracted to patterns of curves and movement, and paisley fits the bill.
Other color loves at the top of the list:
*red, deep red, not orangish-red
*shades of green
*and somewhere between aqua and robin's egg blue- whatever you call that!
What color do you love?

Words Are RapeThat's right, According to Ian Douglass, Words can be the same as rape.Ian Douglas is the writer of the article "Why men should be afraid to give women compliments"http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/sex/10254831/Why-men-should-be-afraid-to-give-women-compliments.htmlThe article starts off by mentioning an incident where a male politician complemented a woman. The male politician has been vilified by the media as a misogynist. Douglas says that the media is right to do this. In fact, Douglas thinks that men who give compliments to women without asking first should be treated like creeps. Douglas's "logic" is that since complements serve no purpose other than giving pleasure to the giver and receive, it is the same thing as sex. Therefore you need to get consent before giving a women a complement because a complement without consent is the same thing as sex without consent. Basically, Douglas thinks that complimenting a woman without consent is the same thing as sex without consen
10 Reasons to Oppose FeminismI encourage you visit Just Smith on his site because he has a bunch of citations which I was unable to copy. http://just-smith.tumblr.com/post/14936172756/ten-reasons-to-oppose-feminismReason 1: Some feminists advocate the systematic murder, castration or destruction of men, and more moderate and less bigoted portions of the movement ignore, tolerate and refuse to speak out against these bigots.Reason 2: Feminist advocates throughout the history of the movement have marginalized women of color, transwomen, poor women and many other types of women. While this is less common now, it still takes place and is unacceptable in a movement supposedly dedicated to equality.Reason 3: Feminist academics have been proven to use poor research practices, purposely distorting data to meet ideological ends. By ignoring the sanctity of academic study, they have not only cast doubt on legitimate research but also dishonored their obligations as scientists.Reason 4: Feminist advocates hav
The tragedy of declining rapeRape is on the decline. It's been on the decline for about half a century. How much has rape declined? http://www.samefacts.com/2011/06/crime-control/the-startling-decline-in-rape/ From 1979 to 2009, it has fallen over 82%. Isn't that amazing. Now a number of factors can be attributed to this remarkable shift, including but not limited to improved investigation techniques and technology, easily to access porn as an alternative to sex, cheap birth control, sexual liberation, the increased willingness of victims to come forward and so on. Good news all around, right? Wrong.One group is not so happy about the fall of rape, and that group is feminism. Why? Because feminists get a lot of their donations because people think they're fighing things like rape. What happens when people start to realize that there's less and less need to fight something that's becoming ever more rare? Simply put, the money stops flowing. So now feminists are in the rather paradoxical position of having to incre
What do you want, feminists?I ask myself this question many times when it comes to the portrayal of fictional woman and treatment of real women.1) How exactly do you want female characters in games, films, etc. to be treated? Especially when they have darker, grittier undertones (Arkham City, anyone?)?2) What do you define as respectful and non-sexist? I understand the things that you don't want, but I have yet to hear a feminist define what they DO want.It's like the Sonic fandom.They bitch and moan about what they don't want, but they don't say what they DO want.
Unbelievable!http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,297296Of course they encourage the women to do this. If this were men doing this, everyone would be jumping up and down screaming, "you guys are assholes! How dare you cheat on your wife and mother of your children! You men are pigs and have no respect for women!"So why are these women cheating the day after Mother's Day?
Finally! Someone sees the paradox!!http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,269606Read this quote!!"It's this weird paradox of many modern women: they want to have rights and be considered equal, but they don't want to work and they still want their chair pulled for fear they might scuff a nail if they do it themselves.They don't really want equality. They want the perks without any of the pitfalls (they consider a lucrative career a pitfall, for some weird reason).That's why most pro-choicers lose their shit on me when I say women who decide without the support of the partner have no right to demand money from him. I fully champion her ABSOLUTE right to do that, but that doesn't mean I think someone else should foot the bill. So you're an equal adult, huh? Welcome to the world of responsibility."Hallelujah!! Common sense still exists!!
5 Ways That All Men Are RapistsThe real name of the article is "5 Ways We Can Teach Men Not To Rape" but if you actually read you'l see why I gave this journal entry the title above. Here is the articlehttp://www.ebony.com/news-views/5-ways-we-can-teach-men-not-to-rape-456#axzz2OrpASdd6This article is one of the worst things I've have read in my life. Considering the articles I tend to refer to in my journals, you know that this is a bad one.Zerlina Maxwell offers ways to prevent rape without making women responsible for the crimes committed against them How are women being "made responsible" for their rape. Giving people advise on how to protect themselves is not blaming them. Telling rapists not to rape is pointless because rapists generally don't care. If they did they wouldn't rape. People are told not to post personal information online, is this blaming victims of identity theft?People are told to lock their doors, is this blaming victims of burglary?Parents give their chi
Valentine's Day Oppresses WomenWhy do I torture myself? I honestly must subconsciously hate myself or else I wouldn't have looked at Huffpost again..This isn't as bad as the time they laughed at male rape victims but its still pretty bad.You now how Valentines's day is might as well be called Women Worship day? Well some geniuses at Huffpost actually decide to turn this into another grievance that men allegedly subject women too. They call it "another time for men to place more expectations on women."http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-b-barr/what-women-want-valentines-day_b_2623223.htmlWhat's worse is that they actually had the balls to claim that women work harder then men. (Who works more hours? Who works more overtime? Who's the one expected to initiate the damn relationship in the first place? Who's more likely to die at their job? Who's more likely to be forced to pay alimony AND child support? Who's more likely to be trafficked for slave labor (which is the majority of human trafficking?) Who's the
Bronies are PervertsThat's the opinion of that idiot who wrote the article Triumph of the Bronies: Hasbro Turning My Little Ponies Into Sexy Human Characters. Neigh. Here's a bit or a background for those of you unfamiliar with bronies. My Little Pony (MLP) is a franchise centered around pony characters that has been around since the 80's. A few years ago, a new generation of MLP was created called "Friendship is Magic" (FIM). This new generation had become fairly popular among older audiences. The male segment of this older generation has been called "Bronies". Equestria Girls is a MLP movie which features the pony characters from FIM as human teenage girls. . Now, there are parents who are concerned about Equestria Girls and Amanda Marcotte has decided to blame it on the Bronies (who's only crime is being interested in a show with female characters)She basically spends the latter half of the article saying that Equestria Girls was do
Feminists Laugh At Violence Towards Men(You should all know by now that when I announce I'm going on hiatus, it's not going to be for long until I start posting again.)For those of you unfamiliar with Jezebel, what rock have you been living under? This website is the main hub for all things feminist.So if you want a good peek into the feminist psyche, feel free to browse the articles on this site along with the commentsthen watch a manly movie like Judge Dread to compensate. (Because there is nothing more manly than Sylvester Stalone wearing a Captain Falcon helmet screaming "I am the law!")This is something that I recently discovered on Tumblr: six years ago, Jezebel ran a story about a study which revealed that 70 percent of nonreciprocal violence within r
Are Feminists Really This Stupid?Feminists tend to say a lot of stupid things, but recently, on Tumblr, I stumbled across what has to be the stupidest thing ever uttered by a feminist, to the point where I'm wondering if it's satire:I HATE AMERICA WHY DOES OUR GOVERNMENT SUCK SO MUCHOk I don't understand why girls have to pay for tampons, pads, birth control, bras, other feminine products, etc. I DIDNT CHOOSE TO BE A WOMAN SO WHY SHOULD I SPEND MY HARD EARNED MONEY ON BEING FEMALE. The government should honestly pay for that shit it's not my fault I bleed from my vagina once a month.Gee, I don't know, honey. Perhaps it's the same reason why I, as a man, have to pay for masculine products such as boxer briefs, aftershave, cologne, jockstraps, condoms, etc.Apparently having to pay for everyday toiletries myself means the government is punishing me for being human. Does that mean the government is punishing me for being a man? I guess not, since, being a
Teach Men Not To Rape Is Bullocks!Thunderf00t puts the feminazis in their place by intellectually eviscerating their meme "teach men not to rape":VIDEO: TEACH THEM NOT TO RAPE!Five years ago, I hated YouTube Atheists like Tunderf00t and The Amazing Atheist. I couldn't imagine a more loathsome group of human beings than them.But within that time span, I managed to discover such a group: feminist social justice warriorsa horde of irrational, overtly-emotional loudmouths who feel that the most rational response to criticism is to shout "rape!" or "racist!"Since then, I have discovered a common ally with the YouTube Atheists, whose pseudo-intellectualism will not bend to the otherwise anti-intellectualism of the feminist social justice warriors. It's like Goku teaming up with Vegeta in order to fight Cell.Question is, in the future, what group will prove themselves dangerously irrational enough for
Twitter Feminists Upset Royal Baby Isn't A GirlI made it clear yesterday that I don't give a flying feather about the royal baby. Well, today I do, but not for the right reasons.If one were going to care about yet another pampered brat being born into unwarranted privilege, one would at least care that the mother managed to give birth to a healthy baby, regardless of its gender.Not the social justice warrior feminazis, apparently.Their panties are all in a twist over how Kate committed the unforgivable sin of giving birth to...gasp...a boy! This act of treason sets teh wymyns back by at least a century! Way to roll back feminism, Kate!If that weren't bad enough, his parents had the audacity to decide his gender for him. Now the poor prince is yet another gender role-programmed drone for the patriarchy. Way to support the cisgender hetero

We Should Be Thankful for Private PropertyWhile the new dope—excuse me, Pope—Pope Francis is busy denouncing free-market capitalism as a "new tyranny," John Stossel reminds us all of the suffering the first American settlers faced when they rejected individual property rights:The Pilgrims started out with communal property rules. When they first settled at Plymouth, they were told: "Share everything, share the work, and we'll share the harvest."The colony's contract said their new settlement was to be a "common." Everyone was to receive necessities out of the common stock. There was to be little individual property.That wasn't the only thing about the Plymouth Colony that sounds like it was from Karl Marx: Its labor was to be organized according to the different capabilities of the settlers.

I tried to reply calmly as I started to think whether the Memory spell worked, but it was confirmed that it
You might be a feminazi if:1. You insist that teaching men to not rape (which we already do) is sufficient to eliminate the nonexistent "rape culture", and yet you cringe at the idea of teaching children to abstain until they can handle children, insisting that children are too stupid do control themselves, while potential rapists aren't.2. You insist that birth control and abortion is none of their business, and yet you insist you get their tax money involved in it.3. You don't realize that hardly anyone wants to ban birth control, they just don't want to pay for it.4. You ignore the problems that women face in third world countries. Bonus points if you compare them to your own like some spoiled brat.5. You are completely unaware of Planned Parenthood's racist past, and their connections with the KKK, which they have never apologized for. You also ignore or excuse bad behavior from abortion clinics.6. You insist that men should have no say in abortion or birt
Someone recognizes the double standardWell, not necessarily recognizing it, but then do acknowledge that some women will stoop to low levels to get what they want.In this case, I'm referring to babies.Some women are so desperate for babies, that they will stoop to levels listed in the following post:All kinds of troubles can surface if a CF guy is in a relationship with a woman who has decided she wants to spawn. Here are few stunts she can try:>There can be accusations that the man is being abusive because he "denies the woman her most basic right".(This is nothing more than a guilt driven manipulation. Refusing to provide DNA is not an abuse.)>Go behind the dude's back and try to convince his friends that they "need to talk to the guy".>Talk to her friends to get them to pick at the guy every chance they see him and tell him that he needs to procreate.>Make a sad face every time she sees a kid and keep telling her guy "why don't we have one of these?">Pick out a disorderly single moo out of a crowd, get the g

The Winter Ice Spiker has a quite aggressive knob tread that resembles an ice racing motorcycle tire. Schwalbe employs a whopping 402 spikes on the Spiker Pro. What can we say except this is a serious tire for winter riding. This tire really bites into the snow and ice for perfect traction and braking.One of the more interesting details of this studded (or spiked) tire is the actual spikes themselves. The core of the studs is super-strong tungsten carbide for long lasting performance. Schwalbe then wraps the tungsten carbide core in weigh-saving aluminum.

Wabi Sabi Revisited
Out and about this weekend, I came upon the most charming children's book, Wabi Sabi by Mark Reibstein, with stunning art by Ed Young.
Here comes a book that describes wabi sabi, a complex Japanese concept — and the focus of The Design Tree's inaugural series – to children!
The story about a cat named Wabi Sabi who goes on a quest to understand the meaning of her name. Her adventure is one of self-discovery: she is introduced to a host of characters, who each lead her to a little revelation, the sum of which become Wabi Sabi's understanding of the namesake she embodies.
The book is written with lovely clear prose, but it's the haiku on each page that moves the story along, revealing a little more of the elusive definition.
The artist, Ed Young, a Caldecott medalist (for "Lon Po Po: A Red-Riding Hood Story From China"), marries the prose and poetry with beautiful collages made up of natural elements as well found objects. This art is a metaphor for wabi sabi itself: capturing a moment of transcendent beauty in ordinariness, while the medium embodies the aesthetic spirit.
The tone of the book is beautiful, serene, and a little bit mysterious. What a gift for the artists, poets, design-savvy and, yes, kids on your list this year (the publisher suggests that this book is suitable for the philosophical 3-6 year olds in your life).
If your interest is piqued, here's an interview with the author and artist. Creating the art in particular is a very special story.

In addition to being practical, these calendars are also an inexpensive way to add some art to your walls while celebrating those fleeting days, weeks and months. It turns out there are hundreds of gorgeous calendars to be found on the web and it was hard to pick just twelve. Letterpress, screen-printing, painting, photography, papercuts; these artists have used a wide range of mediums to create their unique and lovely calenders. Pour the bubbly and cue "Auld Lang Syne" let's ring in the New Year in style!
Typography Calendar- Heather Lins Home
Chairs and Caravans- Leah Giberson
Hot Air Balloon Fabric Calendar- Lisa Rupp
Endeavor 2011 Wall Calendar- Nikki McClure
Kid Icarus Limited Edition 2011 Calendar
For my twelfth pick I chose a calendar for your computer screen, because your digital world should be aesthetically pleasing too. Here is a free download from illustrator and artist Christiane Engel. She releases a new design every month and her beautifully illustrated designs are whimsical with just the right amount of moodiness. Can't wait to see what she comes up with in January.
Well that's it for my calendar roundup. I hope you enjoyed my selections. Whether you make it a habit of hanging a new calendar every year or are looking to start a new tradition you can see there is no shortage of amazing options out there.
Wishing you all a joyous and magical New Year and here's to hoping 2011 is, in fact, the best year ever.

This is a link to an infosheet (PDF) about VAWA - Violence Against Women Act which was signed into law by Obama.
Under the leadership of then-Senator Joe Biden, Congress recognized the severity of violence against women and our need for a national strategy with the enactment of the Violence Against Women Act in 1994. This landmark federal legislation's comprehensive approach to violence against women combined tough new provisions to hold offenders accountable with programs to provide services for the victims of such violence.
If you're a man, you should read this.If you're a woman, you should read this. If you're in the USA, you should read this.If you're in another country not governed by USA law, you should read this.
If you're in another place where rape victims are not given the care and respect they deserve, and where women are held to their past sexual conduct as a measure of guilt - you should read this.
If you are in a place that is governed by US law, know your rights, know your shit, share this & shout loud. That's what makes change.
Amen to this new law!!!!!

Headlight Restoration Guide
View Single Post
Headlight Restoration Guide
Senior Member
Madison, WI
Once the factory UV coating has worn off the plastic lenses of your headlights, they'll start to haze over and yellow. Store bought headlight restoration kits provide means to remove the oxidation, but nothing to protect the lenses from UV after you're done... this is why the results don't last and you have to keep buying more kits. The method outlined in this thread will restore the lenses and then provide long lasting protection from UV, years of clarity as opposed to a few months.
Supplies and tools:
400 through 2000 grit wet/dry sandpaper
Bucket o' water
Meguiars M105 compound (or equivalent)
Meguiars M205 polish (or equivalent)
Foam pads, one light cutting and one polishing
Microfiber towels
Isopropyl alcohol
Mineral spirits
Minwax Helmsman Spar Urethane, clear gloss
Heat gun (optional, faster cure time)
I removed some 5+ year old rockblocker film. It left a thick adhesive residue behind, which required removal with a plastic razor and 3M adhesive remover on a rag. This photo was taken after cleaning it up.
500 grit wetsand
I soaked all my sandpaper in a bucket of soapy water and started wetsanding. Remove any scratches, pitting, and remaining factory UV coating in this step.
800, 1000. 1500, and 2000 grit wetsand
Pretty self explanatory. Work the headlight progressing through finer and finer grits, until you hit a minimum of 1500 grit. M105 can handle removal of 1500 grit scratches, but I prefer to hit it with 2000 grit for a better finish.
M105 and a light cutting pad
In this step, I used a Lake Country light cutting pad with Meguiars M105 compound. This removes the scratches from wetsanding and gives the light clarity again. M105 leaves its own swirls and haze, so follow it up with a less aggressive polish and pad.
M205 and a polishing pad
This step removes the haze left behind by the M105, leaving a glass-like surface. After this step, wipe the headlight with isopropyl alcohol to remove any contaminants or oils left on the surface. The lens is now ready for coating.
Mix Helmsman Spar Urethane and mineral spirits 50/50
You don't need much, I could do two sets of headlights with 30ml.
Urethane mixture applied
Fold a clean dry microfiber OR blue shop towel so you have a 1 inch square. Dip it in the mixture and apply the coating using overlapping vertical strokes, then overlapping horizontal strokes. The coating will self level, but watch for air bubbles, runs, and contaminants. If you mess up, mineral spirits are your friend. You can use a heat gun to speed up cure time, and apply as many coats as you like.

A Quick Trick for Tracking Credit Card Expenses in Quicken
Published on - August 8th, 2007 (Modified on - December 6th, 2013) (by J.D. Roth)
Some readers are worried about my change in stance regarding credit cards. Misuse of best rewards credit card was the chief reason I came to be buried in debt. For years after coming to my senses, the only way for me to cope with credit cards was not to have one. I still believe that this is the proper course of action for anyone who hasn't gained control of her finances, and I would never condemn anyone for choosing not to own a credit card.
Now that I have a card again, let me assure you that I'm taking steps to ensure I stay out of trouble. I am not using credit unless I know that I already have money in the bank for the item I'm purchasing, and I'm paying my credit card bill as soon as it arrives. But there's one other trick I've developed that might be useful for some of you who still have credit cards but are afraid of misusing them. Earlier today, Jethro wrote:
With a credit card, your checking account balance does not reflect purchases that have yet to be billed. If you stay within your budget, this shouldn't be an issue… but for a control freak like myself, the fact that the checking account balance is not up-to-date just drives me crazy.
This used to cause me problems, too. One reason I got into trouble before was the lack of immediate feedback about how much had been charged to my credit cards. The spending was invisible and painless. Now when I plug numbers into Quicken at the end of the day, I make two entries for each credit card transaction: one to the credit card account, and one to a "dummy entry" in the checking account, like this:
Here I've just made a payment of $1310.86 on my credit card, which was the full outstanding balance. The remaining $591.73 is money that was charged after the billing cycle ended, and which will appear on next month's statement. In my checking account, I have a "placeholder for Visa" item in the amount of $591.73. This is a constant reminder that I've already spent the money. Every time I charge something to the card, I enter it in the Visa register and increase the "placeholder for Visa" amount.
This one simple trick has made a huge difference in how I perceive the money I've charged on credit. Now I know that when I've spent it, I've spent it!

Alternatively, I'd suggest you actually "spend" it from your checking account. Why not log into your CC web account and transfer the money over right then? You'll lose out on the time value of money, but you'll be completely unable to convince yourself that you don't /really/ have to pay the full thing this month — you already did.
One advantage to having our Visa from our CU is that I can login, check the balance, and pay anytime during the month. Or multiple times during the month. As long as the item is present and working, I'm good.
I'm sure this can be setup with other online billpay situations.
Doesn't Quicken have a "Cash Flow Center" that nets out your credit card accounts from your savings/checking accounts automatically, so you don't have to manually do the netting out?
Also, as JenK says, you should do some sort of transaction downloads for your accounts, just so you have a daily picture of the finances.
Since we use a reward credit card for all our purchases (and pay it off monthly), I put into the checking account a placeholder each month for the average credit card bill and when it needs to be paid. So I can see that on Sept. 3, I need to pay $X to the credit card.
After I get the actual statement, I adjust the placeholder amount to the actual amount.
In Quicken, I enter the CC transactions when they occur and setup my automatic payments for every two weeks, instead of once a month. I also setup the automatic payment to include the full balance. This week I overpaid my AMEX by $58 b/c I had entered it into Quicken & paid before it hit the account.
Quicken has some functionality that approaches what you are trying to do here JD. (If I understand it properly). If the account is set up as a credit card:
A. Like Chen said, Quicken's Cash Flow section will net out the cash accounts (checking, savings, and credit cards) where checking and savings are (hopefully) positive and credit cards are negative, thus giving you a net total.
B. If you followed the credit card setup wizard, then as an extension of what Mark S. is describing, a scheduled bill will appear in your scheduled transactions section which will always reflect what your credit card balance actually *is*. Then, you can see that value in that list as well as the calendar (a handy feature I've only recently started taking serious advantage of)
I've been having trouble with my credit card – *so* close to paid off, then ballooning up by 600 bucks, etc.
So now I'm doing what others suggested above – as soon as I make a purchase I transfer the money from checking to the credit card.
Of course the result this pay period is that I have $12 in the bank and $20 in my pocket to get me to the 15th, but it's a good exercise. I do have some backup cash in a savings account, and over the long run I think this will help me be more clear-eyed about credit spending.
Great way to manage it, but why the extra hassle, why not just use your debit card or cash? I'm guessing the answer is rewards, but is it really worth it?
As you an probably tell, just not a big fan of credit cards. To me it's just buying things and paying bills using other people's money, even if it's for only 30 days. Would rather use my own money.
Very useful comments here. I think it is best to insulate your checking account from errors that could occur with debit card use. If you have a special checking account separate from the one that pays your rent, mortgage, insurance, etc then it could be OK to use a debit card. This post gives one example and there are many more out there. http://consumerist.com/consumer/apple/apple-debits-money-from-the-wrong-account-now-you-cant-pay-your-mortgage-286327.php
My strategy is to make as many purchases as possible using the credit card. Every month, at the *start* of the month I make a single payment on the card for my budgeted expenses. This brings the card into a large *positive* balance. Then as the month goes by the card balance slowly drops towards zero. Usually it stays positive for the entire month.
In this way, I never risk getting charged interest, overdraft fees, late payments etc, etc and I'm only ever spending money I know I have (because I'm always in credit). Normally I get paid a small amount in interest on the card balance as well.
If I have any large unbudgeted expenses coming up, I'll make a payment a few days before to cover that as well.
I don't find that my debit transactions lag behind. I use Wachovia Visa debit card and if the check card transactions have not processed the pending transactions are captured under pending check card holds (or something like that) and are reflected in my available balance.
I like Gwyn's plan but don't see the advantage vs. debit except for rewards (I receive rewards for using my Visa debit).
I agree about this failing of Quicken, so I wrote my own Excel workbook to track it. Actually I use no fewer than 5 workbooks (in addition to Quicken) to track my finances. (Sounds like a Type A, doesn't it?)
Anyway, I have two main checking accounts – one for bill payment (credit cards, loans, monthly bills) and one for my regular monthly spending (which is typically done only with cash or debit).
For the second account I use something like the envelope method in one of my workbooks. I have one sheet in the workbook for each category, and I debit that category immediately whenever I make a transaction.
If the transaction is done via a credit card, I immediately move money from the "spending" checking account over to the "billpay" checking account, so that the money is in the billpay account when the bill comes due. I DO NOT EVER SPEND MONEY OUT OF THE BILLPAY ACCOUNT. I ONLY PAY BILLS OUT OF THAT ACCOUNT.
FWIW, I use ING Direct for the billpay account, and a local credit union for the spending account. My transfers are done at ING Direct, from one checking account to the other.
This way, the money literally does disappear immediately.
Like I said, the money is typically spent via cash or debit (I tend to carry about $200 cash at all times, and for me, $200 cash will last about a month). However, the means of payment is, for me, simply a mechanism. If I spend cash, debit, or credit, it's all the same to me since I always make sure it disappears from the spending account right away.
This is similar to what you're doing, but for me it works better. It requires more maintenance, but the money literally disappears immediately.
Fun stuff.
The Cash Flow Center doesn't exist in Quicken for Mac, which is what J.D. uses. Yet another reason for us Mac users to consider switching to the Windows version, although I still have trouble convincing myself to put my personal financial information on a system as vulnerable as Windows.
Brad, another idea would be to do what I did: design an Excel workbook/spreadsheet to track cash flow. I personally think that is a better option than switching to Windows.
[...] a couple of credit card related articles showed up on Get Rich Slowly. One article was by JD himself and had a few people surprised, the other by a guest. Both articles have caused quite a bit of conversation in the [...]
I like that. I work with Excel for my financial records, but I think I could do much the same thing there. I've managed not to have a credit card yet, but I'm hoping to get a reward one from my favorite craft store and pay off the balance each month (use it @ the store for extra points and for occasional other purchases).
Until now, though, I've been wary of them. During most of my childhood my parents were paying off a big credit card debt. I grew up thinking that they were scary cards.
I do the same kind of thing.
To budget for debit card use, I also enter a placeholder figure in Quicken that's the amount of several budget categories (e.g., groceries and clothing) that I plan to pay with a debit card during the month. Then I can see what my ending balance will be after all bills are paid. As I make each purchase with the debit card, I subtract from the total budgeted so I know what's left.
I was reading these comments and thinking that a lot of people were giving many of the benefits of leveraging their money with credit cards, just to maintain tighter controls over their cash flow. Then I saw Daniel's solution. I think he's found the right answer. Let's say I'm going to spend $1000 on something. My choices are:
a) pay cash now, lose the potential interst on that cash but not have to worry about screwing up my credit somehow;
b) put it on the credit card, then immediately pay the credit card (this is what most people seem to be saying) – not sure how this is significantly different than option a other than it doesn't require you to actually have the cash on you (although a check or debit card would have the same result)
c) Daniel's solution – charge it on the credit card and move enough money to cover the charged amount to a special holding account. This way, you still earn your interest on the money and get a free loan from the credit card company.
I think this is the best of both worlds. I'm not quite so Type A, but I do track my credit spending fairly closely each month, so that I know what I'll need to pay when the bill comes due. This has the added benefit that I will see any fraudulent charges very quickly, rather than being ignorant anbout them until the bill arrives.
Thanks Dave. Yeah, that solution evolved for me over a period of time. At first, my spreadsheet was used to help me get out of CC debt: when I was in CC debt, I needed to be able to predict where I would be at the end of the month, so that I knew how much I could pay to my CCs and still have a little bit of money at the end of the month. Now, it tracks much more than that.
For us (me & my wife), the trick is in using the two checking accounts – one for billpay (and ONLY billpay) and one for regular monthly spending. There are many benefits of maintaining this separation, including:
- I will never bounce a bill or mortgage payment due to inadvertent overspending
- I can use CCs for regular spending if I want to (such as I tend to do for big-ticket items)
- it is much easier to predict where I will be, financially, in x number of months in the future
- because I also track the "spending" account categories on separate worksheets in the "spending account Excel workbook" (similar to the envelope method, but without the actual envelopes), it is much easier to stay in line with our budget
I really should come up with a way to make this thing generic, so that I can give it out to others who might be as fanatical about…er…interested in their finances as I am in mine.
Like I said, it works for us – and it does so very well. The Quicken pre-payment idea posted here might work well for some, but that still presents too much risk for me.
Now if only ING Direct would give me a second checking account…
You guys are making this too complicated. Quicken is a nice program, but it is wayy too powerful for simple personal finance stuff like tracking expenses. I use EZ Money, a free, open source program that works on OS X and Windows (I'm sure you can compile it in linux). You can find it at http://adoracom.com/ezmoney/eng/index.html
When you enter a transaction (purchase/deposit/payment/etc), there is a checkbox called "pending". You can then easily see which transactions are pending (not yet charged) and which ones have been charged. It also gives you a Balance and Actual number at the bottom… the Balance is what you actually have after all the transactions have been reconciled, and Actual is the amount that shows up online at your bank account/credit card. This way you don't have to do any tricks, you can clearly see the two numbers side by side.
For example, for my credit card, my Balance is 643, but my Actual is 307. That means there is about 336 dollars worth of stuff that isn't showing up on my online account yet. I use a Chase card and they are incredibly slow at getting transactions processed, I couldn't live without this feature.
It is also setup with budgeting in mind, allowing you to setup monthly budget for specific categories.
There is also iBank if you use a Mac, but that costs money.
Here's what I do, similar to what many of you seem to be doing, but I make a *little* money off of it. I use my BOA CC for almost every purchase, and when I get home from shopping, I transfer the amount of the purchase from my BOA checking account to my BOA savings account (this is the only purpose for that savings account, longer term savings get a better return at an online bank). Then, when my credit card payment is due, i transfer the money from my savings account to my credit card. This nets me a little interest on the money every month, while i accumulate points on the card, all while keeping me from spending more than what I have.
For quite a while, I used dummy entries in my Quicken checking account to track charges against paycheck income. However, this got complicated, for a variety of reasons.
Much easier is to do something along the lines of what Daniel describes. My credit union offers a money market checking account with a halfway decent interest rate, and you get access to all your credit union accounts online.
So, I opened a money market checking acct to complement my personal checking acct. In the personal checkng account, I keep enough for utilities, monthly insurance bills, and the occasional workman who has to be paid in cash or with a check (this would include enough for mortgage payments or rent if my house weren't paid for). All recurring costs are automatically deducted from this account. At the beginning of a month I also set aside in interest-bearing accounts $200 for disposable savings and $350 for property taxes & car and homeowner's insurance; at the end of the month anything left goes into savings.
In the money market account, I deposit the rest of my salary, which has to cover all other costs. I put these costs on credit cards…this requires me to keep a grip on expenditures during each credit-card billing cycle.
Using an Excel spreadsheet, I divide each 30-day billing cycle into four "chunks" corresponding roughly to weeks (it's actually three 8-day chunks and one 7-day chunk). Dividing the amount deposited per billing cycle by 4, I get about $375 per week-long "chunk." I create 4 columns, each starting with $375. Every few days or maybe once a week, I enter the amount of each charge as a negative number in that week's column.
At the end of the "chunk" I click on the sigma button to get the balance. If it's in the red, I know I need to economize the following week. If it's in the black, I'm good. Keeping track of the amount I've spent vs. the amount I have in the CC account guarantees that I will never charge more than I have.
Keeping the CC fund in a money market checking account (which allows a limited number of debits per month) and paying the CC bill only once a month earns a little interest on part of my salary. Any money left over at the end of the month goes into my Roth IRA.
Charging ALL my expenses other than recurring monthly bills–such as groceries, gasoline, etc.–builds up a nice kickback from American Express at the end of the year…I usually get around $350, which also goes into the Roth IRA.
In Quicken, I enter the charges again in an account to track charges. Because I track a lot of things in Quicken and because Mac's version leaves a lot to be desired, the overall "balance" feature is useless; the tracker account serves to categorize expenses for tax reports and to give me an occasional view of where the money is going over the long term.
[...] of getting slapped silly with an aggregate "oh crap" payment at the end of the month. A Quick Trick for Tracking Credit Card Expenses in Quicken [Get Rich [...]
I did that with my first credit card in the late seventies. It kept me from going into debt. I entered my credit card charges in my (paper) check register, and kept two balances, the bank balance, and the balance after paying off credit purchases. Nowadays, I use a debit card instead of a credit card so the bank's idea of my balance matches reality.
I really like this trick. I will make a new entry on my spreadsheet for this tactic. I use docs.google.com and I set up a spreadsheet there. It's free and I can totally customize it, although it did take me a few months to figure out how I wanted it set up.
And I do see the logic behind wanting to use a credit card over cash – to add up rewards points. That could come in handy if you're saving for gas points or travel points. But it's true, you don't want any of that charging to carry over because then any gain from the rewards points will be wiped out from interest payments on the balance.
How about this? Use a debit card.
I agree with glblguy, using debit or cash is better. It's been proven that people spend more than they intend when they use CC's.
In Quicken 2007 for Windows, I enter every transaction and have all my accounts in there. When I enter credit card transactions, my CC balance becomes negative, as it should. I can see how much money I will have left when the CC bill is due in the 'cash flow center'. So, if I just charged $100 and have $1000 in checking, it will show $900. There is an option, if you right click on the account name, to not include certain accounts in totals, this way it doesn't add my IRA or savings to the net worth figure, just my checking and credit cards. Basically, the net worth is how much money I have left in checking after paying all my CC bills at the end of the month. I've been using this system since I got my first CC as an undergrad and have never not paid the bill in full, since there was no surprise at the end of the month!
Proposed approach is wrong and complicated. There is no point of recording same transaction twice. And, by the way, credit card purchases are not cash purchases and you can't mix them up with you checking account transactions. Quicken already has all tools that you need to track your credit card debt.
1. Set up credit card account in Quicken and record all credit card transactions in this account.
2. When you make credit card payments record them as Transfers from your checking account to credit card account.
3. Keep an eye on Cash Flow and Income Statement and Net Worth reports.
I agree with Maxim's comment here about how to use Quicken with Credit Cards. I do this and one thing I would add to these many comments about Quicken is that I use the budget feature to track my spending. I spend every penny I can on my cc because of the rewards…BUT I have already established the habit of not spending the money if I don't have it in the bank to pay the bill. So I download my cc transactions to Quicken, categorize them properly, and then use my budget reports to see if I have money left or not. I look at them regularly enough to know if I am going over in one category then I need to compensate somewhere else, and if I don't then i will have to take money from my savings account to pay for my overbudget items. But I always pay the balance of my cc statement each month. So my point is that rather than having to enter transactions twice, or even use the cash flow reports as some mentioned, my budget reports tell me where I am with my money and I only have to enter transactions once.

Should public schools in the United States eliminate the traditional A to F grading scale? And if so, what assessment do we replace it with?
In 5 months, at the age of 21, I will be graduating college from the University of Florida. Yet, it wasn't until recently that I began to realize how distorted my view of education has been for past 15 years of my life. From childhood, we are commonly "taught" (and indoctrinated) that when we receive "good grades", we are "good people" and "good students." Consequently, beginning around kindergarten, a child's self worth is defined on an "A" to "F" scale. From the perspective of a child, an "A" student is "good" and an "F" student is "bad".
This belief entirely distorts the real purpose of education. We are commonly driven to learn not for the sake of learning; but instead, we are motivated by the almighty grade. Growing up, rather than reading books for fun or curiosity, I commonly read only those books that were assigned. Rather than exploring new concepts, I stayed on the designated curriculum and track. And rather than creating new ideas after school, I completed my homework. By high school, my GPA became somewhat of a false deity, a barometer of self worth, and a ticket to future success. Sadly, a large number of my "academically successful" peers had an even more distorted view of education than I. In high school, I often saw students copying each others homework before class as a means to manipulate the system. School was not about learning, it was about recieiving high grades. In college, this same manipulation manifests itself every time I hear a student say "I'm not taking Professor X's class because it's hard and I need an "A" for grad/law/med school."
Moreover, not only does the "A" to "F" scale seem flawed but the standards we measure as well. Commonly, in public schools we measure math, science, and reading but deny the students who excel in dance, singing, painting, building, and poetry the self worth of receiving an "A" in their area of expertise.
Should pub. schools in the US eliminate the traditional A to F grading scale? Is there a better way?

Dec 31 2011: I think the A-F system is just like any other status quo; It got us this far, and has admirably served it's function for many years, and many are understandable a little reticent to just up and throw it out the window without a lot of thought as to why the wheel needs to be reinvented. And certainly traditional grades will be around far longer than us early adopters would like. That being said, the way grades are assigned across subjects and teachers is nowhere near as consistent as a standard report card would have us believe. Some teachers weight homework highly and tests lowly, so a student who has a perfect command of the subject matter and little inclination to do homework that is unneeded in order for them to learn will receive a lower grade than someone who does all the work, but still walks away from the classroom with only the faintest understanding of the subject. Others grade on perceived class participation, which is measured extremely subjective at best.
My principle problem with A-F is not that it's a standard rubric, but that it claims to be and isn't. What would be more equitable in my opinion is a system that gives students goals, and checks them off the list when completed to a high standard... if not up to par, they get bounced back and get to try again. There should not be a penalty no matter how many times you get it wrong before you get it right, as long as you eventually get there. Likewise, there should be no unnecessary grinding for those that get it right the first time, they should simply get to move on. And now that I've ventured past the OP by a fair margin, I'll get back to the point: Should we get rid of A-F? Eventually. Is there anything better? Of course! There's always something better, it's just a matter of when and where we find it.
Jan 2 2012: I agree Ryan!
You said "Is there anything better? Of course! There's always something better, it's just a matter of when and where we find it."
To this I would like to comment.
One thing I like bout teachers (among many things of course) is that they are not stupid. However, we have to understand their goals. We like to think that they work for the student and parents, but they work for the Board of Education. They agree to do this because they get paid for their time. There is a contest between what teachers will do and what they are asked to do, for the simple reason that there are not enough hours in a day to do what they are asked to do.
The A-F system has many superior systems. But it is an acceptable compromise when time, clarity, simplicity, and functionality are all factored in.
Teachers have already developed innumerable grading systems over the years. Each has advantages and disadvantages, but none has been able to work as well as A-F for every group that has an interest in student progress.

Many modifications are maintained for an extended period of time. However, sometimes mods are forgotten for a while and resurface with exciting changes. After all, new features on older apps can deliver an total facelift. Now, there is a modification for the Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Active, and Ray that's making a comeback.
XDA Senior Member serajr has updated a modification that first began back in July. Since then, it has been updated to bring some Jelly Bean-like goodness to Xperia devices in a friendly systemUI mod for those running Ice Cream Sandwich. The feature list includes:
- New JB style 23 toggles with tabbed slider controls (Created by Me from Scratch)
– New Me toggle (to edit it´s image or title, go to Contacts and edit Myself first contact)
– Fixed first Quick Panel row (3 top toggles – Me | Settings | Recent Apps)
– New JB style full screen notifications and quick panel expanded views
– New flip Notifications to Quick Panel transition animation
– New slide In/Out Quick Panel Toggles to Sliders transition animation
– All Toggles and Sliders in sync with android settings (observers added)
– Notifications is default view when opening Status Bar
– SystemUI Preferences screen now is opened by tapping device Menu button while on expanded notifications view
– 4 new customizable background images for Status Bar, Notifications, Notifications Header and Quick Panel
– Full working two state Status Bar open/close drag handle
– Preference to choose status bar opacity percentage or Use Custom Image
– Preference to enable/disable full screen notifications and quick panel expanded views
– Preference to choose Quick Panel Tabs screen position (top or bottom)
– Removed thin and gray notifications glow separators
– Fixed preference screen Quick Panel Tab force close issue
There is quite a lot of new stuff in this latest update, making it far more complete than prior versions. If you have one of the aforementioned Xperia devices and care for the look seen in the featured image, check out the original thread.

Making cameras better than they actually are has been kind of a trend here at XDA, as seen on the International Galaxy Note and the Nexus 7, among many others. Now there is a new mod for the Sony Xperia Ray, Active, Mini, and Mini Pro that adds a few new features.
This mod was released by XDA Senior Member Rizal Lovins. There may be some confusion because Rizal Lovins actually released a different camera mod for the Xperia Ray a couple of months ago. This new mod is for all four of the aforementioned devices. Some of the features include:
Camera Mod Fast Capture
Smooth HD Recording
HQ Stereo Audio Video Recording
Improved HD Video Audio to 256kbps From 128kbps
Format HD Video Recording changed to MPEG4 from H264 for better performance Smooth
100% JPEG Quality
If you've been wanting a little more out of your smartphone camera, this is definitely a mod for you to check out. It has been out for a few releases already, so it's pretty stable. And after the latest updates, no one has reported any issues or bugs.

Another Sony Xperia device was released recently. If you're unfamiliar with the development culture of Xperia devices, that means that everything on the new Xperia device will be ported to every other Xperia device in short order. For now, though, the Sony Xperia Ray, Active, Mini, and Mini Pro have gotten a port of some Sony Xperia T goodies.
XDA Recognized Themer Pranav110089 has released a decently sized package of Xperia T goodies for the older Xperia devices. The initial release was reported as buggy, but Pranav110089 has been able to fix most of the bugs and the package is pretty much ready for daily use. The features includes:
* Xperia T Small Apps [Full Port for MDPI Devices]
* Xperia S lockscreen compatible
* Xperia GX and Jelly Bean like SystemUI [Without Any Bug]
* Removed Reboot Option [Because there is bug ]
[Still you can reboot via Notification Toggle]
* 30 Step volume MOD
For those who don't know, Small Apps are actually applications that appear on your screen as windows. This is similar to the multi window feature on the Galaxy Note 2, except it doesn't take up two halves of the screen. Installation is easy, just flash the package in recovery.

When it comes to multi-device releases, it doesn't get much more straightforward than a widespread Sony Xperia release. Given how close the hardware and software is between devices, it isn't overly difficult to get a single piece of software working on a number of devices. As such, unofficial AOKP Jelly Bean was ported to 14 Sony Xperia devices practically all at once.
XDA Recognized Contributor championswimmer, on behalf of the KangXperiaProject, brings us the ROMs. However, many thanks go to the FreeXperia Team, whose work was critical to the achievement. In championswimmer's words:
It is very important to mention here that nothing, yes i repeat NOTHING was possible without the awesome work done by FreeXperia team for the community. For all 2011 devices we are using their device trees almost untouched. So all the hardware work (making camera, sensors, gralloc, hardware acceleration etc work flawlessly) is purely the credit of FreeXperiaTeam (FXP, bin4ry, defer and Kali- ) If there is anyone whom you really need to thank for Xperia devices being able to run CM9/AOSP/AOKP/MIUI or whatever non-stock ROMs it's the great people like : ZdZihu, FXP, Bin4ry, defer, Kali-, KeiranFTW, DoomLord, Androxyde, Achotjan, Azuzu and many many more. The only thing that KXP team has done is made the devices and vendor trees fit into the groove of AOKP source tree and manage a buildable environment. Our contribution in KXP ROMs is much much less as compared to the contribution of Team Kang and Team FreeXperia. (Ofcourse on older devices we had to work a lot becuase FXP does not support them anymore)
The functionality varies depending on device. However, there aren't more than two or three things broken per device, and none of it is bad enough to be considered unstable. In addition to releasing the ROMs for all these devices, KXP has also written up a nice tutorial showing users how to download and compile their own source code. So if users want to grab the latest and greatest or just tinker around, it is available. Do be advised, the tutorial for compiling is for 64-bit Ubuntu, and will require at least 10GB of disk space.
If you'd like to know more and see the full list of supported devices, check out the original thread.

It seems as though no device's development is complete without a toolkit. Many devices have them, and many of them are compatible with more than one device. Some are pretty well known too, such as mskip's Samsung Universal Toolkit or hasoon2000's HTC toolkits. Despite being well known for cross device development sharing, there isn't yet such a toolkit for the Sony Xperia 2011 lineup.
Looking to fill that hole is ROM Hub. Developed by XDA Senior Member xdevilium, the toolkit is compatible with a large number of Sony Xperia devices, including:
Sony Xperia Arc/Arc S
Sony Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Active and Ray
Sony Xperia Neo/Neo V
Sony Xperia Play
And there are a few more. The features of the toolkit are as expected for such a release, and include a number of features including:
Download and install stock firmware – Not all firmwares are online.
CWM for locked bootloader – untested.
Root – GB only.
Unroot – GB only.
Flash kernels.
Flash system image
Erase system.
Erase boot.
Erase Data and Cache.
Install update.zip – not ROM zip.
Install ROM addons.
Install Boot animations – please suggest more.
Unlock bootloader.
Relock Bootloader.
Driver installer.
XRH Backup – Backup & Restore system, data and cache.
XRH Nandroid Backup – Make a Nandroid backup when the device on.
NEW: Adding ICS Firmwares!
The toolkit is a very new release. New that the firmwares aren't done uploading yet, so do give it some time before you start downloading all the stock firmwares you need. Also, users have reported that some anti-virus websites pop up a warning. These are false positives, as many flash tools are incorrectly marked as trojans. To learn more, head over to the original thread.

Given the extreme sharing nature of the Sony Xperia lineup, it was only a matter of time before the recently released Sony Xperia GX had its software ported to every other Sony Xperia device. Thus, the Sony Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Active, and Ray all got a port of the Docomo app from the GX.
Posted to the forums by XDA Senior Member Till-Kruspe, the Docomo application is essentially the launcher from the GX, along with some applications on the side. Unfortunately, many of the options for it are still in Japanese and in need of translation, so it's hard to identify all of the features. According to Till-Kruspe:
very fast and fluid…you can add up to 12 home screens…and there is "KISEKAE" which I think a theme setting (maybe) can't understand because it is written in Japanese. Media player with Dynamic EQ…Nice UI with a lots of setting…can play videos as well…
It's not difficult to install either, just side load it onto your device like any other APK file. Since there are no framework files to install, it's probably compatible with many other untested devices as well. For download links and screenshots, head to the original thread.

Installing a mod is usually a fun tweak or feature that improves the quality of an already running system, such as RAM management or add a feature that wasn't there previously. A mod that adds eight features would, statistically, eight times better.
XDA Senior Member hansip87 has released a mod for the Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray that adds 8 features to a user's phone. According to hansip87, the mod is compatible with the .42 and .62 stock firmware versions, so if you're not running those it is not recommended for flashing.
The features included are:
1. Reboot Menu – Add Reboot Menu
2. Volume stepping – Enable 30 stepping for our Ray while listening media file
3. Disable Scrolling Cache – Improve List View smoothness while scrolling
4. Battery Persistent Lock Screen Mod – To check Battery Stats on Lock Screen while not charging/low battery
5. Smooth Spinner Loading Animation – Smoother Loading Circle Animation
6. Status Bar Power Widget + Ultra Theme – Shortcut for Device Setting Widget
7. Added Brightness of Dim/25%/40% and Dim/15%/25% – Finer control for Brightness Widget
8. Added Swipe to Remove Notification – Remove only unwanted notification, not all of 'em
If this is a mod you'd like to see on your phone, you can head on over to the original thread for download links and instructions on installing. Additionally, there's a number of other modifications posted so users can further customize their phones. As always, make a backup before flashing, just in case!
