This versatile digital media player displays digital pictures on your television in glowing high-resolution detail. Front-panel memory card slots give you quick, easy access to photos you've snapped with a digital camera: pop in your card, sit back, and enjoy a slideshow of that recent family vacation on a big screen! What's more, Roku's optional Art Packs on CompactFlash® cards (see "Accessories") let you use the HD1000 to view classical paintings, nature scenes, or aquarium images they even include some high-definition motion video clips! It's a perfect way to transform your wall-mounted flat-panel TV into a real conversation piece at your next party. Read more The Roku also plays your MP3 music files, so you can listen to your PC tunes on your home audio system. It can read the files directly off a memory card, or you can connect the player to your wired or wireless home network you'll get convenient access to photos and digital music stored on your computer, right from your living room. The included remote control makes browsing your files even easier. Another nice touch is the HD1000's screen-saver mode: when the player senses that your TV has been displaying a non-moving image for a certain length of time, it generates moving graphics to help protect your TV screen from image burn-in. Pass-through connections let you use the screen-saver mode with other types of video gear, such as a video game console, TiVo® digital recorder, or DVD player. A great feature for plasma TV owners!

Features Controls and Connections Features Product Overview: The Roku HD1000 is a high-definition digital media player. Memory card slots on the front panel allow you to view your digital photos in High Definition on your HD-compatible TV or monitor, or listen to compressed audio files. The unit supports a broad range of digital and analog A/V connectors so you can integrate the HD1000 into your home theater or stereo system, or use it with your home Ethernet or Wi-Fi network. A supplied wireless remote control lets you navigate through the menus and around the screen. Memory Card Compatibility: The HD1000 features convenient front panel slots to accommodate most of the popular memory cards. Slots are provided for: CompactFlash card (Type I and II), SD Memory Card, MultiMediaCard, Memory Stick, and SmartMedia cards. You can also use xD Picture cards with a simple adapter. Built-in Memory: The unit has a 16MB internal flash memory which includes 5 images. Art Packs: Roku makes several optional "Art Packs" available on CompactFlash. The Art Packs include still and "LiveArt" images with the following titles: "The Classics", "Nature", "Aquarium", and "World Maps and Clocks". Note: LiveArt images are HD MPEG2 video clips that are "looped" to form a seamless, constant moving image. Slideshow: Digital photos can be displayed in a slideshow fashion at a selectable interval: 5 sec., 6 sec., 7 sec., 8 sec., 9 sec., 10 sec., 15 sec., 30 sec., 1 min., 2 min., 3 min., 4 min., 5 min., 10 min., 15 min., 30 min., 1 hour, or No Delay. Display Aspect Ratio: Most photos are naturally 4:3. When displaying them in 16:9, you can choose to display them with black bars on the side ("fit"), zoomed in so the picture is cropped on top and bottom ("fill"), or choose the SmartDisplay which will automatically choose between "fit" and "fill" depending upon the photo's size and aspect ratio. Note: Generally the HD1000 supports wide-screen resolutions (1280 x 720, 1920 x 1080), but it also supports 1024 x 768 in standard 4:3 aspect ratio for certain (primarily commercial) applications. Digital Music: You can play your PC or Mac library of MP3, WAV or AIFF audio files and playlists (M3U and PLS formats) when you connect the HD1000 through your home network. Note: It is possible to listen to music while viewing your slideshow. Video Playback: The unit can play HD ATSC-compliant MPEG2 transport stream video, which is the type of signal typically broadcast over the air by a local digital television station. You can also use the HD1000 for displaying digital broadcasts that are recorded on a computer from a tuner card. Screen Saver: The HD1000 has a built-in screen saver to help reduce the risk of image burn-in on your TV screen. The screen saver appears when the unit is being used as a source for displaying a slideshow, or, when in the video pass-through configuration, the unit detects when the video input source is still. In the Setup Menu, you can choose from the following "timeout" settings: 15 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, or Off. You can also choose from the following patterns: Roku Clock, Helix, or Logo Bounce. You can further configure the Logo Bounce pattern by choosing "bounce", "fill", "wander", or "random." Network Ready: You can integrate the HD1000 with your PC or Mac home network, or go wireless with a Wi-Fi adapter. The unit's built-in networking is based on Windows File Sharing or SMB, which is a file sharing protocol built into Windows, Macintosh, and Linux computers. You are not required to install any server software on your PC or Mac to access networked media such as photos, music, and MPEG2 Transport streams. System Requirements: The requirements for file sharing (photo, video or music) from your computer are as follows: Operating System: Microsoft Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Me, Windows XP Home or Professional with file sharing enabled. Mac OS X 10.2 or later (10.2.6 or later recommended) with Windows File Sharing enabled. Other Samba-compatible operating systems (including Linux) are supported. Network: Wired 10/100 Ethernet network or wireless network with optional adapter Networked HD video playback requires 100 Mbit wired network Controls and Connections Front Panel Controls: All of the HD1000's controls are located on the front panel. The controls are as follows: Power: When the power is turned off, the HD1000 goes into standby mode. While in Standby, any video fed into the unit is passed through the video outputs. Menu/Exit/Select: These buttons allow you to display the main menu, exit from the menus and screens, and choose a highlighted on-screen item. Navigation: The 4 "arrow" buttons allow you to navigate up, down, left or right through the menus or pan around zoomed images. Remote Control: The supplied remote control includes the same controls as the front panel, plus the following additional controls: Play/Pause: For starting, pausing and restarting music or slideshow. Next/Previous: For skipping to next or previous image or music track. Rotate: Each press rotates the current image 90° (counterclockwise or clockwise--selectable). Info: Displays information about the displayed image. One press displays a small box with 2 lines of information for about 3 seconds. Two presses of the button displays 6 lines of information for approximately 10 seconds. Zoom: A "rocker"-type switch lets you zoom in and out of the displayed image to fit the screen or for multiple magnification levels. Connection Methods: The HD1000 is designed to connect to your audio/video system in one of two ways: Separate Audio/Video Source: The unit is connected to a receiver and TV/monitor as you would a DVD player. The video outputs are connected to the TV/monitor, while the audio outputs are connected to an A/V receiver or directly to the TV/monitor. In Line/Video Pass Through: You can connect the HD1000 "in-line" as the last device between an A/V source (DVD, VCR, receiver) and the TV or monitor. When the power is on, the TV/monitor displays what comes from the HD1000. When the unit is in Standby mode, the video and audio signal from the connected device is displayed. The incoming video signal is monitored and a automatically generates a screen save when appropriate, decreasing the chance of burn-in. Rear Panel Connections: The HD1000 features a wide variety of inputs and outputs for connecting the unit to your TV/monitor, receiver, PC or home network: Audio In/Out: This unit features gold-plated stereo RCA audio inputs and outputs. Video In/Out: This unit features S-Video and component video inputs and outputs. You can also connect a TV or monitor using a composite video cable by using the component video output's green RCA jack labeled "Y". The compatible formats include 480i (composite, S-Video, and component), 480p, 720p and 1080i (component). RS-232C: You can use the 9-pin RS-232C interface to connect the unit to an external whole-house control system, from companies such as Crestron. VGA: The 15-pin VGA connector lets you connect the HD1000 to a monitor or display. Compatible formats include 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1024 x 768. USB: The supplied USB connector is to be used to connect the unit to compatible 802.11b wireless (wi-fi) adapters. Digital Audio Output: A coaxial digital output connector is supplied for connecting the unit to an amplifier, display or external speakers that has an S/PDIF-compatible audio input. Ethernet: The HD1000 can be connected to your computer over your home network through the 10/100 Ethernet port (10baseT or 100Mbps). The unit will automatically configure itself via the DHCP protocol.

July 21 - Old Fashioned »
Keeping it simple tonight. Sometimes that's the way to go. The Old Fashioned is one of the oldest cocktails in the world, and it's still one of the best. I don't go in for all that muddled fruit and seltzer nonsense, either. I like an old fashioned Old Fashioned, I guess.

Like him or not, it is a step in a positive direction. Having a highly recognized figure in the field, that has a good amount of attention with 2 main shows, you are going to get noticed. Will some be turned off by it, yeah I'm sure - but at the same time those will probably be the people that already either didn't care for Bracket or Martin. What you are going to see is how well he will be shooting with these bows and it will get some people's attention. Start with 1 noticeable figure in the field and more will follow as long as things continue to move in a positive direction.
Chris Brackett is a professional archer, bow expert, and former host of Arrow Affliction.
Brackett is from Bartonville, Illinois. He is the founder of Brackett Outdoors, which organizes several outdoor activities including bowfishing.
In 2008, Brackett hosted the show Arrow Affliction on Sportsman Channel.[1] After that, he has served as a trainer in History Channel's Top Shot and has started other projects like Outdoor Channel's Fear No Evil, with Zac Brown
He has been around and is well known so yes he is a good choice and was available. I would imagine it is not easy to hire someone for a reasonable about of money and right now Martin needs to put their money into production not advertising. We are a part of the Salmon Showdown fishing show that will air on the Pursuit Channel in a few days for 26 weeks. Our commercial includes a short spot for Martin Archery
check it out https://vimeo.com/85041974
My 2 cents here..... I watch his show Arrow Affliction on Outdoor Channel. Is he offensive in some ways? Absolutely. As a TV personality personally I don't care for him. BUT, what he can do with a bow is absolutely amazing! I love bow hunting, and I also just plain love shooting bows, period. I watch his show for the trick shots and hair brained ideas he comes up with. Anyone see the episode where he rigged up his bow to bowfish for turkeys? Genius idea. Bottom line, Martin Archery will get a lot more interest once episodes of him shooting Martin's start airing. Great move for them I think. I for one can't wait.
I too think it's a great move by Martin. The only thing I don't care for is his "catch phrase" BOOYAH Baby, when he makes a kill. He doesn't have the budget that most others do and does a better job than them in my opinion. I despise the arrogance from Lee & Tiff, the Drury brothers, Jim Shockey, and a host of others that flaunt their wealth, hunt on unlimited private land, have most thing handed to them, and seem to get tags every year in states that require a draw. I seen one last year, an Elk hunt here in Nevada, where after the kill he stated that this was his third bull in Nevada in as many years. No way, in Nevada if you are successful there is a 10 year waiting period to enter the draw again. If you are unsuccessful there is a 5 year wait. These people are great shots with any weapon they are given but not ethical or realistic in my opinion, especially for the average Joe hunting public land.
Mathews, PSE, Hoyt, and Bowtech have astronomical advertising budgets whereas Martin is trying very hard to get back on top with new owners and ideas. I see nothing but good things for both parties here. Chris is a descent guy and more in touch with people like us that those listed above.
Rant over........
NuttyNative.... I think you hit the nail on the head brother. Most of the shows on there present people with the false idea that killing a deer is really easy. Just sit in a stand for a couple hrs then what do ya know Big Buck Down! The shows like the crush, bone collector, etc. are entertainment only, because it is not real life. I was already happy as a fat kid at a buffet when I heard the news then I came back to the site and seen the video of Chris and why he chose Martin and I feel even better.
With or with out Chris makes no difference to me, I was shooting Ryteras, Martin before he got on. Chris is a trick shot, hunter and high strung but shooting martin is a step in the right direction for the company. It seems Martin is asking the consumer for ideas and if so they need to listen to the Vets on the forums who know which cams are best then go from there, just my opinion.
hey guys I'm back. moved to the hills and have been without internet. Good to be back.
Anyways the last time i watched spirit of the wild ted was shooting a mathews so any publicity is good publicity and by the way we ARE shooting the most accurate bows in the world
Any exposure is better than none. I think this guy loves archery and will be responsible for many sales. I first looked at martin because Uncle Ted shot them. Now I own 3 :p
Welcome back Bowbender!
Yep I wish Uncle Ted still represented. I don't blame him for finding another sponsor when Martin didn't renew contracts, the man has a business to and a show to run. I just wish he hadn't went to the other "M" LOL!

Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Many were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.
Vintage photos of:

During my mother's childhood, the family had to pick up and move in the middle of the night several times because the Klan was on the way. My grandfather was a Cherokee married to a white woman. My mother, now 89 with a memory full of holes, still recalled one of those nights of terror just yesterday.She will never forget, nor should we.
When I see images such as these, my daydreams of living in the '20s change to nightmares.
Read the wikipedia on this guy. He was a nasty piece of work.
What a disgrace to our history.
That Indiana now boasts the highest number of Klan members, with Ohio not far behind.
we really have to get together on these uniforms, people are beginning to talk.
Today some may be inclined to laugh at the silly costumes, especially the straw hats, but evil often goes unnoticed for being so commonplace.

The deadly storms that cut through the country over the weekend and the changing season here in the heartland are stark reminders of the threat from tornadoes. Thurman, Iowa knows it all too well.
One of the last big tornado strikes in our area devastated Thurman two years ago. An EF-3 tornado hammered the town.
A number of homes that had been destroyed have since been rebuilt, including the one that belongs to Sandra Umphrey.
She told us, "If we had been home, we probably would have been killed."
A tree fell, crushing the master bedroom's closet where the Umphreys go in case of a tornado.
"It's real heavy," she said. "If you can feel this door, it's real heavy."
With the new house built where the old one was flattened, Sandra and her family now have a quick access tornado shelter bolted into the cement floor of their garage and she said, "This can withstand an EF-5."
Their neighbors have one too.
Thurman's city park, which was obliterated in the storm, has been completely redone. It will take a while for the trees to provide shade again. The evidence of the damaged church is still there.
Many will never get the images out of their head from the twister two years ago. When the skies darkened Sunday, when the hail began to fall, Sandra thought, "Oh please don't let us have any tornadoes. It's scary after you've been through one. It's sad. Unfortunately we can't control them. I wish we could have more of a warning. It's bad that people don't have a safe place to go to."
While no one was killed or injured in Thurman two years ago, their advice for other communities in the path of destruction: the sun will rise again. When the media spotlight leaves and the donations subside you have each other.
Sandra said, "A lot of things have changed but things are getting better. People are moving forward with their lives."

A Michigan Catholic church went up in flames early Sunday and investigators are trying to determine if fireworks were to blame.
Flames shot in the air early Sunday as St. Mary Magdalene Catholic Church burned to the ground.
The blaze destroyed the Kentwood church, causing five or six million dollars in damage.
Officials estimate the only things left standing were the walls.
Investigators say fireworks were going off in the neighborhood and they are trying to determine if they played a role in the fire.

Why Are Narcissitic, Machiavellian Psychopaths So Attractive?
"Next Holtzman and Strube assessed the students' personalities and their tendencies towards narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism. They asked the students to rate themselves and to provide email addresses for a few of their friends so that the researchers could ask them to provide ratings as well. This combination of self and peer ratings was used to calculate a final set personality scores for each student. Furthermore, the students' ratings on narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism were combined into create a composite 'dark triad' score. The dark triad score was positively correlated with their 'dressed-up' attractiveness – a finding that mirrors previous findings. However, the dark triad score was not related to ratings of physical attractiveness in the dressed-down photos. In other words, people with dark personality traits are not seen as more physically attractive than others when you take away their freedom to wear their own clothes and makeup. People with dark personalities seem to be better at making themselves physically appealing."
—Some might say that I am a shallow, self-centered, scheming womanizer with a heart as icey-cold as my piercing blue eyes. Science says that I simply care about my appearance.

"Study shows vain people care how they look." Thanks!
Narcissistic, Machiavellian psychopaths are attractive? Looking at, say, Eric Cantor, Dick Cheney, or Karl Rove, I'd never have guessed.
Psychopaths are attractive, often, indeed, quite charming, because they are completely free of guilt. As for their appearance, psychopaths, having no instinct for dealing with other humans empathetically, have to learn, on a rational, cognitive level, every possible tactic and trick to get along socially, and some of them get very good at it.
Narcissism and Machiavellianism are two treats, which don't go together. The narcissist has little self image, he has some image, but it is warped in a grandiose way. The high mach has good knowledge of himself. He is more grounded in reality.

Single-level 3 bedroom ranch built 1996 on a 4-foot crawl 1512 sq ft. Normal interior temp maintained at 67-70F. Outside high temp 32F with overnight temp falling to 25F. If/when a power failure occurs, approx how long will it take for the pipes to freeze/burst?
1 recommendation
A very long time. Maybe never. Open all cabinet doors to keep the pipes as warm as possible.Let just a dripping or trickle of water run on exterior faucets.
We lost our power for 94 hours a couple weeks ago - outside temp below 20 degrees - as far as we could tell the house never went below 41 degrees. All faucets on the second day had a trickle of water - no pipes froze.--Brian"It drops into your stomach like a Abrams's tank.... driven by Rosanne Barr..." A. Bourdain
At 25° likely never. 0°-10° might be a problem after a period of time.
A very long time. Maybe never. Open all cabinet doors to keep the pipes as warm as possible.Let just a dripping or trickle of water run on exterior faucets.
Ok - you are on a well (kinda important info)...?
Blocking off the foundation vents will help keep the temp up in the crawl space.
My crawlspace never gets below freezing - so essentially never.However - my water heater is outside the skin of the house - the water lines to and from will freeze eventually if its cold enough long enough if the heat tapes don't have power. But with PEX pipes - I'm not too worried about them bursting.
Go get a Generator. Not some P.O.S. Chinese junk. Get a good reliable name-brand generator that will run your well, furnace, and refrigerator.If I had a well, I would probably either look into having a standby generator installed, or a manual transfer switch installed for a portable genset.--I just might be the most "licensed" S.O.B. you know.
Power failed 19 hours after OP and was off for 31 hours. Outside temp fell as low as 16F. Did open cabinet doors and blocked foundation vents as advised. Interior house temp never fell below 46F. No problems.

Freshman Jordan Frericks
Nov. 12, 2013
As Jordan Frericks developed athletically through high school, it became clear she had a decision to make. The Quincy, Ill., native was a two-sport star, finding success on both the soccer field and the basketball court. Looking up to two sisters who played college soccer at Eastern Illinois University and a dad who played college basketball, Frericks was staring at a crossroads that would determine her future.
Regardless of her choice, one thing was certain: Frericks knew how to win. She is a four-time state champion, claiming a title in soccer and three titles on the basketball court. After two back-to-back 2A championships, Frericks' high school, Quincy Notre Dame, was forced to move up a class to face stiffer competition. The Raiders met the challenge head on, posting an undefeated 30-0 record on their way to a 3A state title. She finished her career as her high school's all-time leader in points, rebounds and steals.
Frericks says through all those experiences with high school sports, she found out she was simply more passionate about basketball than soccer.
"I just really like the physicality, aggressiveness and competitiveness of basketball," Frericks said. "My dad was also a big influence. He didn't push me one way or another, but I wanted to play because he did."
The decision to pursue basketball has paid off for Frericks. The 6-foot-1 forward chose Mizzou over several other offers, mainly because she felt that the coaching staff cares more about her as an individual rather than just an athlete.
It hasn't taken long for Frericks to adjust to playing at the next level. So far, she's earned a spot in the starting lineup, helping senior Bri Kulas anchor the paint down low. In two exhibition starts, Frericks has averaged 12.5 points and four rebounds in 49 total minutes of action.
"It was definitely a goal that I had for myself and I reached," Frericks said. "To me, it's not as important as other things in the game, but it was an awesome opportunity and feeling to be able to start."
Frericks wants to bring a defensive-minded approach to the team this season. She says she loves blocking shots, rebounding and getting up and down the court quickly. While winning is obviously a goal in the long run, Frericks takes to heart a message that head coach Robin Pingeton preaches to all of her players.
"I want this experience at Mizzou to be so much fun," Frericks said. "My team says the same thing, it's not all about winning. You gain friends here and do more than just win basketball games. That's really what's important and that's what I'm going to remember."
Frericks has a long and bright future ahead of her as a Tiger, but when it's all said and done, she will have yet another big decision to make. Except this time, choosing what path to take in life won't be as difficult. She says she knows she wants to be an architect some day.

anyone into investments? Buying Silver
9:10 am on Oct 23, 2011

I'm considering buying some silver as an investment as apparently its low right now and basically I want to invest my cash somewhere where it may stand a chance of seeing growth
Anyone else investing cash in silver? any tips ? I'm not looking for anything risky just something that will give me a return as its a big chunk of my safety net I'll be putting into this its just I don't fancy leaving the cash in the bank and watch it vanish

Gold is a good investment for times of uncertainty and as a hedge against inflation. You'll hear a lot of noise against it in the mainstream media from finance guys but that's partly because selling you a mutual fund or some exotic investment scheme gets them fat commissions while their brokerage on gold is tiny. With the amount of currency that's been printed in the US in the last five years, I'd say buy gold. It's also a hedge against the dollar decline. That said, sometimes gold won't move for years, so don't buy too much. It should be 5-10% of your portfolio, ideally.

TBH I'm playing catch up as a friend has just bought some silver rather than leaving his cash in the bank and seeing it drop in real value
He seemed to be under the impression buy silver had a better chance of stable growth? but this is all very new and in the past my money when in the bank and stayed there for when I retire LOL fat chance on that
But what would be nice is some type of growth and at least holding inflation off as so far like most people with saving I'm seeing it going backwards
I was considering buying another house - but the advantage over silver or gold is I can get the money out in 24 hrs should I need it

what portfolio, this is guy that never takes risks and has 4 year safety net in the bank "just in case" but what I'm considering is putting 25% of that into something that will offer a return - I don't do stocks / shares or as in this case buying metal
any advice is very welcome

Location is important. In the UK VAT (sales tax) is payable which makes that you loose a significant chunk of your investment up front.

Do some research on what earns the best returns over the long term. Statistically, it's index funds.
There's already well known splits that you should have your investments in. Some brief reading on modern portfolio theory will get you started.
But buying gold and silver right now? I'm seeing TV ads about people who will buy your gold and silver from you at top dollar prices. And when everyone is buying it, you know it's time to sell right? Because you can follow the hysteria and buy when everyone else is and sell when everyone else is, or you can do what statistics show you to do (and not the sales reps,or people with ideas that sound good, like 'gold is a good investment').
These tough times are only temporary. Stocks crashed, gold rises. Wait 2-5 years, things will go back to normal.

... as you're in the uk tigger at the risk of being boring have you got premium bonds - maximum 30k
- they pay no interest but 'prizes' instead .... the huge benefit of which is tax free, also with a decent amount you should be winning prizes all the time.
ditto ISA accounts, use your annual allowance ... again interest is tax free.
also register with national savings and get their emails, as soon as they issue an index linked certificate buy into it - the last one sold out very quickly.

The average rate of return on Premium Bonds is only just over 1% at the moment so there are better alternatives.
I don't have any concrete examples (I don't have any money to invest !) but a friend has mentioned he can 3-4% tax free. However that is still losing money since annual inflation is running at over 5%.

However that is still losing money since annual inflation is running at over 5%.
I'm not looking for a silly return just something better than the banks are offering as right now your better off spending the cash now rather than saving - but this cash is my lifeline should anything go wrong with my G rankings which we all know can happen anytime
Still looking around but buying silver is looking like a safer bet

You have to be in the right time and place. For silver, that time and place appears to have been medieval China. (This is really true.) Unless someone finds a new industrial application for silver, gold (or platinum) seems a better long-term bet. That's looking at the intrinsic value of the material, independent of investment mood swings.
4:51 pm on Oct 24, 2011

The long term market for platinum is going to be less large than was anticipated..( or at least will "plateau" for a while soon ) with the move to electrical powered or hybrid vehicles .less platinum will be needed for catalytics ( as in catalytic converters in car exhaust systems ) than was thought as there will be less need for car exhaust systems anyway..and as "scrubbing systems" improve less platinum will be "lost"..
The jewelery market for platinum is always lower than for gold..and will stay that way..gold "shows" what it is ( which is the point of jewelery ) ..platinum jewelry is "meh" to look at..
Silver is ( unless as Lucy says some new application comes along ..unlikely to be the case ) IMO just another vehicle to sucker first time investors into..
It has very little worth compared to it's weight and bulk..Emeralds however..( although they have little industrial application compared to Diamonds and Rubies ) are very much in demand..just don't buy them at the "non production end" of the chain..the mark ups at each stage are very high..the nearer you get to where they come from..the better your purchase price will be for you..
Personally ..in Spain ..I'd wait 6 months to a year, for the second wave of the property crash there ( it will come )..and buy small to medium sized properties, to then rent ..this will give an income ..but it will not be portable assets..

Given the insanity around us, it is possible for EXTREME changes in the economy. IF you want to see examples, look at
The WEimar Republic
Argentina 2000 (there was an excellent essay about the conditions at the time but I can't seem to locate it. A guy described how you survived)
Consider that our US currency is backed by ... uhm, err, uh, hmmmm, ug.. "The full faith and credit of the US" or something like that....
If, GOD forbid, we end up like the scenarios below, paper money becomes worthless overnight. How do you pay the doc for your kid's office visit? How do you buy a cord of wood for your fireplace? Barter will work but the wood guy might not want my circa 1900 scale or matchbox collection
Ergo.. you can have some precious metals, pasta, rice, ammo, etc that would be good for barter.
some random thoughts here
1. one advantage to silver is that you have a lesser 'dollar amount'. ie. an ounce of gold might = $2,000. I don't want to buy a car from my dentist, I want a tooth filled. SO, smaller amounts of silver coin might be useful.
2. The government can suddenly declare all gold and silver contraband.. FDR did just that.
3. You can make yourself a target. In other words, there might be people coming for your gold and silver. You have to be ready to supply them copper and lead in 7.62 or OO containers first.
4. Holding precious metals as paper might be worthless. You need to phyisically hold the assets which can create a serious security issue.
Now, I'm not thinking investment wise in terms of being able to pay my mortgage etc with precious metals. I'm thinking more in terms of the ability to obtain essential services and goods for 3-6 months.

precious metal offer no return at all, you gamble that its base price will increase in value. While it goes up at the moment it is no guarantee it wont fall by 30 or more percent within a few months.
I was in 1996 in South Africa and they were closing down gold mines left right and center as it was not viable (gold price was below 200 dollar). No one could back than imagine it will be where it is now, and it can go down just as fast as it went up, just saying if you play with your livelyhood, precious metal is cool to have as an additional extra...
and to go with @cmendla`s end time scenario, gold coins will be easier to use in times of crisis, you wont go with a barren of gold to get some pasta and supplies , but a 1/10 maple leaf, golden eagle, kruger rand etc.. might do the trick...

Viggen - Correct me if I'm wrong... I believe that the price of gold today in US dollars is not that the gold has become more valuable per se, but that the dollar has become less valuable.
My understanding is that gold has been a consistent store of value. ie. the amount of gold that bought a fine suit in 1850 is pretty much the same amount of gold today.
One of the problems with investments, as I see it, is that inflation will kill your wealth. In the US we have had a pretty consistent attack on corporations. Now, if things go screwy and we have 20 percent inflation (we had about 18 or so under carter) that would be OK if you could get a 15-18 percent return on your investments.
However, if the corporations are attacked and taxed to death, then you probably won't get a high rate of return. A nightmare would be a 25 % spread between inflation and available rates return. In that case, your entire net worth would evaporate in about 5 years.

No, a suit wasnt 10 times as cheap in 1996 than it was today, gold is only increasing the last 5 years so dramatically, usually bubble start to happen when everyone seems to think the only way is up, a good rule to remember is;
...when the main stream media starts to talk about buying the rush is more or less over...
In that case, your entire net worth would evaporate in about 5 years.
Thats why a mix can protect you a bit, but you know you cant have it all, a high yield low risk has not been invented yet, so you have to make compromises... either the one or the other way...

Yes, there is, there's lots of math around this. Nobody listens to it (other than some of the extremely large pension investment firms, which in fact DO follow the math). Because rather than a dry technical mix of investments, doing things like 'buy silver because it's better than gold' sounds so much better. Or get in on Apple. Or whatever. All these ideas have been shown to less than optimal strategies, but there's no emotional fun or commission in them, so nobody sells them and nobody buys them. And the other problem is, strategies are only higher yield and lower risk over the long term. So as soon as things get tough, people bail. Most folks can't see that to get a long term 6%, you're going to get 8% some years (not the 12$ others are getting) and you're going to eat 2% some years (but not get the -15% others are getting). When you're earning 8% and everyone around you is earning 12%,it's natural to want to jump ship.
There are investments that are inversely correlated, and others that are not correlated. The right mix means that when something drops, part of your investments drop - but other parts will rise, and other parts are unaffected.

Risk is perceived and subjective. It's not cast in stone. People who perceive risk are often victims of recency bias. They place too much emphasis on recent events, extrapolate them into the future thinking it will last forever. This is why when a metal goes up four years in a row suddenly everyone wants to have a piece of it assuming it will keep rising. When the stock market crashes and stocks hit new lows month after month, suddenly no one wants to own stocks perceiving them as very risky. Ironically they're really far safer than they were at four times the current price when people made a mad scramble for them. They could rise 2-3 fold from the low levels. This makes it a high yield low risk opportunity for patient investors, the downward risk being limited where some stocks are selling for less than cash value.

While investments in market can produce higher yields... when the market falls/crashes, silver, gold, platinum and gems hold their value. Some diversification into metals or gems is recommended. What percentage of intrinsic valued items will depend on the markets...
Witness recent real estate busts... while gold and silver keep rising. (Example in USA)...
It wasn't that many years ago that gold was $300 troy ounce and is now $1720... I remember when it was $35 :)

No, risk is quantifiable and can be calculated. You can't calculate whether gold is going up or down tomorrow or over the next 10 years - but you CAN calculate the probability (the risk) of that happening as well as the error of your calculation.
Believing this is all heeby-jeepy witchcraft is why investment salespeople can sell such garbage to so many people and people are shocked when they crash. Because they start with things like 'how would you feel if your investments crashed, would you be OK with that because you're in it for the long term? Or would you want to switch to a different investment'. And people buy into that voodoo.
Worse, most people confuse risk with volatility - they are not the same thing. The stock market goes up and down in the short term, but it always goes up in the long term. So longterm, what's the risk of failure? Not much, not in an investment that's been going up for 100 years for any long-term measurement. But again, people look at the short term, over 6 months, or 3 years.

How long is longterm though ?
The FTSE 100 index is today at around the same level it was in 1998. 13 years seems like a pretty long time to me.
Taking inflation into account investing in shares over that time period wouldn't have been the wisest move.
Despite the economic climate my wife has been spending money like it has been going out of fashion. After reading this thread I am now encouraging her to continue, I can't see the point in saving or investing :)

25 years is long term. 13 years is not long term.
You've shown another error in people's emotions. People take snapshots and use it to prove their point. Clearly worldwide stock markets are crashed - and may not be coming back anytime soon. Or they may come back tomorrow. But when the do come back, it's been shown they come back fast - they will recover substantial portions of their losses in one day. People don't believe that. They'll believe that markets are low so they'll go elsewhere for now. Then they believe that they'll see the rebound coming and get in then. Except it'll be too late - the markets will return all in one day, or in 3 specific days over a year or two. It'll happen on a Tuesday and when you wake up on Wednesday it's already too late. the academics have shown this, few actually choose to believe it. Instead, they'll use stuff like what you've just done to counter it.
Frankly I'm not in a position to defend this, but there's lots of academics that have shown repeatedly what I'm suggesting - it's there for the reading. And it's not as easy as just stocks, it's as easy as a very specific, diverse range of investments. If you were all in in stocks (like many people), yes, things suck now but will be better long term. But the correct way is to have a diverse investment strategy (and diverse is not what most people would define as diverse, there's again a specific mix) so that while the stock portion overall is low right now, the overall investment mix right now is doing reasonably well. And when the stock returns, other aspects won't do as hot - but overall there's consistent returns over the long term.
If you want to have the highest returns and lowest risk over the next 25-30 years, what you need to do is clearly defined already, the information is readily available for anyone willing to spend some time reading. But it does not involve taking 13 year snapshots and saying 'see! I could've made more money doing something else'. It involves NOT doing that.

Risk is often calculated taking the benchmark of a so-called 'risk-free' return on capital which is usually putting money in banks and 10 year government bonds. When governments start defaulting on their debt and banks start going bankrupt, this 'risk quantification' becomes a delusion. Besides if calculation and math was the only thing that mattered mathematicians would be the richest people in the world. Investing is an art as much as a science. If all these finance guys who come up with these risk quantification theories were as smart as that we wouldn't have this mess.

Owning gold and silver is more about protecting value than "investing" in the traditional sense. That said, both investing and protecting are less about IF you're right, and more about WHEN you're right. Fundamentally (and this is an oversimplification) both silver and gold can represent fantastic wealth preservation methods in an inflationary environment, which is what we are in right now (US government supplied inflation figures are laughable). I wouldn't be surprised to see gold hit $2500/oz in 2012, and Silver hit $75/oz. Silver is more volatile, so if you're into regular trading some money can be made (and lost) with silver ETFs.
If you suspect that a collapse of western monetary systems and their fiat currencies is imminent, (I don't) then silver coin is probably your best bet. Otherwise, ETFs are very simple and inexpensive.

Keeping it real- 100% overwhelmed
Tonights midnight post comes to you courtesy of my completely overwhelmed mind. Before the end of the month here's what we've got going on:
-2 potlucks (thankfully I'm making the same thing and doubling it… take that 2 birds with my 1 stone)
-Host garage sale (necessary to do before school lets out because our house is in the path of 3 schools and I want to get all the mom/school traffic. I also have a FULL garage of things that need to be sold.)
-Assist a friend with a birthday party and host a gender reveal party (for two of my closest friends that are far more important than a busy month)
-Manage to keep the stuff I'm growing living… I've got 9 pots of strawberry plants that require daily watering and bringing in and out daily since it still freezes here at night. Also daily watering of all the grass seed I planted in order to make it grow.
-Trip to MN… necessary this month because its time to….. drumroll please……….
-Get new puppy (she's in MN) Yes our puppy will be 8 weeks old and we must go get her. I'm a little worried about this one. Advice??? Anyone?? Also should we name her Penny or Dixie?? (we get to pick one of these 3)
-Cut down side fence and reinstall at a lower height before I can...
-Paint house exterior. Yes, I need to get the entire exterior painted because we can overspray and not tape off anything if we get it done before the looming deadline of May 30th when we…..
-Get new windows installed!!!
On top of all that I've got my job that has a big statement due from me on the 21st, our adoption dossier is being assembled which requires additional running around for signatures and notarizations, AND I've got these two precious little boys that require my time, love, and attention.
Thankfully I've got great friends who have offered to help with the garage sale, lend me their painting and pressure washing supplies, as well as help with the boys. I've also got 5 days of VBS and an excellent babysitter working in my favor when it comes to the boys.
So… if you start to wonder if I've fallen off the blog bandwagon, or if I'm ever coming back, the answer is yes. I probably will fall off for a few weeks, and I definitely will be back. In the mean time I'll be pot lucking, paint spraying, party hosting, puppy training, and more. See you in June (well probably a little between now and then, but not much).
My Makeup Realizations
Discolusre: I received these products complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster
Until recently I was not a "makeup girl". I wore my eyeliner and mascara daily to hide the fact that my eyelashes are so blond they are practically invisible, but that was where it stopped. Occasionally I'd throw on some concealer or foundation, but I NEVER considered crossing the line into "real" makeup like blush, lipstick, or bronzer.

Then I discovered Mary Kay. Actually, they discovered my. One day on my doorstep came this adorable little box of makeup to "sample". I decided to give it a go, and now I'm a convert.
A Mary Kay convert who is never turning back.
Seriously… the eyeliner is like butter, and once it dries is doesn't go anywhere.
The mascara is the stuff of my dreams! One coat and it looks like I grew new eyelashes!
The blush and bronzer… well I realized they give me a more "grown up" look and some added confidence.
Since this little box arrived on my doorstep, I have gone a lot more "gutsy", trying things that I'd NEVER have considered before. I also learned a little about myself that I wish I would have learned a long time ago!
-When I'm wearing makeup I feel good about my face, which make me want to dress nicer too. It's a nice change from the typical routine of paint spattered torn clothing (don't worry though, I haven't given that up completely!)
-When I feel good about myself, it makes me feel better about life! Seriously… rather than keeping my head down and hoping to blend in I'm able to experience more. Rather than hiding from the camera I can hold my head up and smile! Rather than ducking around an aisle to nearly miss someone at Wal-Mart I can greet them with a smile. It may sound completely pathetic, but it's true!
-Even though I'm a "stay at home mom", it doesn't mean that I can't put a little effort into myself. My husband and I went on a date to celebrate 8 years together and wearing my new makeup actually made me feel like so long hadn't even passed! I think he appreciated me caring a little more about how I look too!
So, I'm not going to promise I'll always be wearing red lipstick! Or that I won't still run to Wal-mart or preschool pickup straight from the gym without ANY makeup on. Or that I won't run to the hardware store mid-project in my tattered paint splattered clothing. BUT… my new goal is that I make time for a little makeup in the morning when I'm getting ready, and take a little more pride in looking and feeling better about myself! Ultimately I need to outwardly express how I feel on the inside!

Auction House Yard Progress
Lately I have spending ALL my time working in the yard, hence the lack of blog updating. By the time I sit down at my computer at night I'm usually aching and exhausted. I wanted to share some Before and Progress (definitely not after) pictures with you all to show how far this sad yard has come.
The day of the auction this is what the yard looked like!
After taking possession of the house, this horrific evergreen shrub and the overgrown driveway were the first things we tackled:
Getting the evergreen shrub out involved an ax, lopers, a skid steer, and a lot of anger.
Then my role came which was removing TONS of rock and prepping it for grass seed. Of course I had help (as I do in every project).

Midcentury Dresser Re-do without Sanding or Staining
*Disclaimer* This is not a sponsored post, I am just completely head over heels in love with my new discovery, "Restor-A-Finish"!
Recently I found a gorgeous Midcentury wood dresser for sale, and when I went to pick it up the girl selling it offered me this one for free!
It was in bad shape though. We're talking scratches, dried out wood, and it was VERY dirty.
It also had been attacked by a kid with a Sharpie.

Family Embrace Session with Broken Anchor Photography
I know I've told you about her before, but my friend Kathryn of Broken Anchor Photography is UNREAL.
In March she did "Mini-Sessions for Good" and chose our adoption fund as the benefactor of those sessions. She spent two long days giving of her skills, energy, and time and then even more time editing all those mini-sessions. As a result she was able to donate $1600 to our adoption fund! Again and again I have been BLOWN AWAY by our friends generosity towards this adoption. This child is already loved SO much.

Disconnect to Reconnect with a Pancake Topping Buffet
"I participated in a Blogger Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for the J.M. Smucker Company. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a to thank me for my participation."
Cooking dinner with two tired and hungry little ones is a tough job. Sometimes I find myself so caught up in trying to get the meal on the table that by by the time I sit down to eat I'm ready to check out. Often I grab my phone and check texts and notifications. Matt also has a demanding job and it's rare to make it through a meal without work texts and calls coming in. As a busy family it's easy to forgot that dinner is more than just eating, but also important time to connect as a family.
The Power of Family Meals is proposing that families disconnect to reconnect at mealtimes. Disconnect to Reconnect is a movement to get families to unplug at the table. Power of Family Meals is encouraging families to gather around the table for meals without screens. Matt and I decided that this would be a good challenge for our family and we took the pledge to "disconnect to reconnect". For us this means no phones at the table.

Building a Kitchen Pantry on a Budget
Last week I shared with you how our girl room closet was under construction, this week I'm sharing how I built us a new pantry! Recently I shared our kitchen gallery wall, part of why I shared it was because I was forced to take pictures of it and blog about it before I began deconstructing it! Yes… it's true. In order to make use of this space next to the fridge I had to remove half of the gallery wall.
Here was our pantry. It's a nice tall cabinet, but it's deep and narrow, which meant I was constantly losing things in the back and pulling EVERYTHING out of the cabinets to find things.
At first we planned on having a cabinet maker build a pantry cabinet to match our existing kitchen, but when we had one come out he quoted us $3,000 for a pantry in this space! We knew that wasn't going to happen so when we ordered the closet door for the girl room we also ordered one for a pantry.
Before Easter I demoed the trim, rearranged the gallery wall, and took down the crown molding. Then I waited and waited for Matt to have a day to build the new pantry, which just wasn't happening. Finally on a Saturday while he worked I decided to tackle it myself!
First I built a rectangular frame for the side and anchored it to the floor, wall, ceiling, and adjoining cabinet. Then I built a frame for the front wall with a door cutout. It was actually really fulfilling cutting everything perfectly and nailing each piece in place!

Keeping it Real- Closet Construction
Today's post has no pin-worthy images, the images are even cropped or edited. Today's post is me sharing what we're up to, and showing that progress isn't always pretty.
Here is what the boy's closet looked like in all it's glory. Overly full, no trim, sagging top shelf (poorly installed by yours truly), and no back wall with a direct view into the "girl room". Occasionally in the middle of the night the boxes on the top shelve would slide right off, crashing loudly and scaring us all half to death.
Here is what the girl's closet looked like. Much worse than the boys. At some point the boys closet was stolen from space in the girl closet, but the job was never finished. It was stuffed to the gills, had sliding doors that no longer slid, and if you could even see to the back of it you would see the 4 different colors of paint along with very damaged drywall.
After 7 months of living here I decided to do something about it. First I removed the old "sliding" doors, track, and trim.

DIY Floating Shelves with Faux Rivets
This post brought to you by Elmer's ProBond Advanced. All opinions are 100% mine.
Yesterday I showed you how I staged the floating shelves in our bathroom. They were so popular that today I want to share how we built them! In our main bathroom the toilet was hidden in this nook and I wanted to add some character to this nook for a long time.
I love the look of the metal on wood on our DIY barn door hardware and decided to bring this look into the bathroom.
I started out by purchasing the following:
-Two 1"x10"x6's
-One 1"x2"x6'
-One 1"x4"x6'
-One piece of 1"x1/8"x6' metal
-Eight 5/16" hex head screws
-Eight 5/16" washers

And so it goes . . .
According to the National Law Journal, a former KPMG senior manager filed a class action last week seeking $350 million for KPMG's women managers, senior managers and managing directors.
It will come as no surprise to ForbesWoman readers that only 18% of all KPMG partners are women even though they make up nearly half of all KPMG employees.
As the National Law Journal explained,
[lead plaintiff'] Kassman claims she was told that KPMG cut her base salary by $20,000 while she was on maternity leave in 2003 because she was paid "too much." When she asked her male supervisor how she could get that salary back, Kassman claims the supervisor said she did not need the money because she "ha[d] a nice engagement ring."
Kassman's complaints will be familiar to women managers, executives, and professionals everywhere. She claims that she wasn't promoted based on complaints by her male subordinates that they "didn't like her tone," was "unapproachable" and "too direct." She also claims to be within a class of working mothers who are treated as second class employees.
Sadly, among the Big Four accounting firms, KPMG is tied for first place for its high percentage of women partners.
There's no rational reason other than bias to account for the bar of "first place" in gender equity to be in the teens. And the motherhood penalty is severe. As the AmLaw Daily reported last year, those elite law firms that are high scorers in diversity for women equity partners tend not to be those with liberal well-utilized family-friendly policies.
In other words, if you want to have children and be successful, you'd better be male because maternity leave, as Kassman learned, is a quick trip to the bottom.
We're Waiting for Results
Law firms and businesses claim they're investing in their women but when we talk to women lawyers and managers about their employers' willingness to pay for negotiation and leadership training, we hear that meagre budgets have been expended even though no training has been done in years. Maybe those funds are being spent on convincing new female hires that they have a future in business and the law by way of diversity brochures, industry advertising and web pages trumpeting what good places Skadden, General Mills, Exxon and Deloitte are for working mothers.
Those aren't diversity programs – those are exercises in bait and switch. How hard could it be for the huge brains at the Big Four to locate, hire, retain and promote qualified women? They're hired by the most successful corporations in the country to sell sugary cereal as health food to our nation's children, keep the Feds away from Wall Street, and convince regulators that insurance companies are giving at least as much consideration to paying legitimate claims as they are to collecting premiums. But put women on the Board and in the C-suite? Gee, it's just too hard for them to figure out.
We here at She Negotiates believe that learning to negotiate can make a substantial difference in leadership, partnership and equity for women in the professions, in business and in entrepreneurship.Lauren Stiller Rikleen of the Rikleen Institute for Strategic Leadership and author of Ending the Gauntlet, Removing Barriers to Women's Success in the Law, however, believes there are systemic barriers to professional women's success that all the negotiation skills in the world won't solve.
Rikleen's prescription for reform, which should have been adopted by Big Law, the Big Four and the Fortune 500 the year Gauntlet was published, includes: implementing a "firm-wide effort to recruit and promote women, ensuring a 'critical mass' at all levels of the organization"; creating a "strategic plan that ensures that women attorneys are recruited, trained, retained and promoted at the same rate as their male colleagues"; abandoning ad hoc management and developing leadership models in which the retention and promotion of women into key positions throughout the firm is front and center of firm policy; introducing performance reviews that "feature rigorous, detailed criteria . . . that are regularly scheduled, taken seriously and conspicuously tied to compensation and advancement"; replacing the time vs. quality billable hour with value or budgeted billing, taking responsibility for the firm's inability to stay within budget and rewarding it for doing the job under budget; and, including women in and training all lawyers for rainmaking activities at the highest levels, among others.
Call On Your Business or Professional Firm to Sponsor and Support Women's Leadership Conferences
There's still time for businesses and law firms nationwide to put their money where their mouths are and send the women it claims to support to any of the following terrific leadership programs and summits for women:
The National Association of Women MBA's Annual National Conference and Career Fair on September 15 to 17, in Dallas-Ft. Worth, Texas – not only great leadership training but tremendous networking as well for professionals who want to build their book of business with women managers and executives.
South Carolina Women Lawyers and Leadership Conference on October 21, 2011, with Professor Anita Hill, former CEO, No Excuses author, and women's leadership guru Gloria Feldt, feminist icon Gloria Steinem, Change.org and former high school sex education activist Shelby Knox, Women's Media Center executive Jamia Wilson and executive speech and presentations coach Deb Sofield among many others.
I'll be leading the cross-generational Feldt-Steinem-Knox-Wilson panel on the intersection of sexual harassment and implied bias in the workplace. If your company or firm is truly dedicated to women in leadership, ask it to sponsor this dynamite event – the form with benefits described is here.
Sponsors for the panel I'll be leading in South Carolina include ADR Services, Inc. mediators Eli Chernow and Ralph Williams, as well as the owner of ADR Services, the indefatigable Lucie Barron. Women neutrals, please add your name to this list, particularly those in the southern United States.


text: The Mind Gem wiki last edited by jloneblackheart on 04/02/13 08:07PM View full history PowersThe Mind Gem gives it's user amplified psychic and psionic abilities. With an already psychic user, these abilities are nearly limitless. Powers include telepathy, empathy and telekinesis. The Mind Gem can access and alter thoughts and dreams, create or remove mental barriers and blocks, influence actions, alter or create memories and feelings, and perform impressive feats of telekinesis and psychokinesis.With the other gems, these powers are amplified even further to which all minds in the known universe can be accessed simultaneously.HistoryThe Mind Gem, along with the other Infinity Gems, were gathered by the Elders of the Universe in a plan to destroy Galactus. After their defeat, the Mind Gem went into the custody of the Grandmaster. When Thanos begins to gather the gems, he plays a game of wits with the Grandmaster for the gem. Although the Grandmaster cheats, so does Thanos, who gains custody of all the gems and controls the Infinity Gauntlet, thus becoming a god.After Thanos's defeat, the Gauntlet briefly goes into the custody of Adam Warlock, who soon gives the gems to the protection of his choosing - thus creating the Infinity Watch. Moondragon, already a powerful telepath, is given custody of the Mind Gem.After briefly being taken by the Magus, the Infinity Watch is eventually disbanded and the gems are spread across the universe. The gems were gathered by the Illuminati and the Mind Gem given to the custody of Professor X.Ultimate UniverseWhen a young Odin was in search of conquests he defeated Hidelbard, smartest giant in Jotunheimr. In doing so he gained his intelligence which proved to be overwhelming to Odin. The Nine Realms condensed the power into a single gem which became the Mind Gem.During Divided We Fall, Thor's son Modi, took possession of the gem and used it to control Thor and have him fight against the Ultimates.Wielders of the Mind GemGrandmasterThanosMoondragonMagusProfessor XModi
