TOKYO: Japan's TDK Corp, an electronics parts maker that has struggled to make a profit while several of its peers grew rich in the smartphone boom, has found help rebuilding its fortunes with the rise of China's smartphone makers, Reuters reported on Wednesday.
Once a leading brand in cassette tapes that later prospered in magnetic heads for hard disk drives until the PC business headed south, TDK fell behind rivals such as Murata Manufacturing Ltd in making tiny, high-spec parts for mobile gadgets like Apple Inc's iPhones and iPads.
But it has shifted its product strategy towards SAW filters, a key mobile phone part that sorts out unnecessary radio signals, and ramped up output, and has seen a surge in orders from low-cost Chinese rivals to Apple and Samsung Electronics Co, the world's dominant smartphone makers.
"We were late to get in, but now Chinese demand is growing," TDK President Takehiro Kamigama told Reuters in an interview on Wednesday, emphasising opportunities with home-grown handset makers in the world's number-one smartphone market.
"I think sales at the established Chinese handset makers will grow — Until now Chinese makers' market was only domestic but now about thirty per cent of their sales are abroad, in emerging markets," he said.

Whether you're planning a trip to a local attraction in Florida this summer, or headed all the way across the country, you want your vacation to be relaxing. It's a getaway from work, not to mention your day-to-day life. So we've got some tips - from packing smart to protecting yourself from pickpockets - to make your trip the best it can be.
Before you go
Even if you're traveling in state to The Magic Kingdom, a packing list is a must. How many times have you left home and arrived at your destination, only to find that you forgot your most comfortable walking shoes? Or your swimsuit? Put everything on this list, even if you think you would never forget it. A toothbrush is easy to replace when you get there - your prescription medication isn't.
Be sure that you have printed itineraries for everyone in your party, and make color copies of important ID documents as well. Keep the copies in your bag, separate from your passport and other IDs. It's also a great idea for each person to have a list of emergency numbers, either for them to call or for someone else providing assistance.
Of course, packing light can make travel a lot more enjoyable. Who wants to lug 100 pounds of luggage through the airport? Not us. Here are some ideas to help you lighten the load:
When you're there
Once you arrive at your destination, it's time to relax! But don't let your guard down completely. After all, tourists often are targets for those looking to separate you from your money. We're talking mainly about thieves, but don't forget, you also lose money when you spend more than needed. Here are some ways to protect your wallet from criminals and other money traps:
Finally, remember that you're on vacation to relax and escape everyday life. So when you get there, get out there! Meet some locals, do some things off the beaten path. In fact, the locals usually have the best recommendations. And you just might make some new friends, too!

Aroogas Grille House & Sports Bar is changing the way America watches its sporting events. Its also changing the way it drinks its beer and eats its meals. How do we do it? Its about fun-themed dining rooms, the coldest beer in America, more games on more screens, earth-loving resources, signature wing sauces and the tastiest natural cut French fries and chips around.
The result is an award-winning restaurant with killer service, exceptional food and a VIPs view of every game from every seat in the house. It makes Aroogas the place to go - for a family night out, a quick bite or a great place to watch the big game.
In our first four years, Aroogas opened seven corporate locations in Central Pennsylvania Area. Weve won five years in a row at the National Buffalo Wing Festival, the Superbowl of wing contests, and we've won almost every local award that exists.
With this success, Aroogas has received a lot of attention and was selected as Americas Next Top Restaurant Franchise. Aroogas beat out over 250 entrants from 36 different states in a program co-sponsored by Sysco Foods and The Franchise Edge, in a nationwide search to find an independent restaurant that has what it takes to be the next great franchise.
Aroogas owners have been around the block a time or two, and they know what it takes to launch a brand with a real presence both corporate and franchise. Our goal is simple - turn new customers into regulars by providing an exceptional experience.
Besides great food and sports, Arooga's caters to families, sports teams and the kids. With small flat screens at every booth, kids can watch their favorite cartoons or shows while mom and dad enjoy some time to themselves. Rookies also have their own special menu, crayangle crayons, coloring sheets and games.
Sports bars with chicken wings is one of the hottest growth segments in franchising. Aroogas wings can be served with over one 100 different proprietary wing sauces. Guests can also enjoy perfectly marbled Kobe burgers which are fresh, never frozen. If cheese steaks are a weakness, then the traditional Philly cheese steak will hit the spot, or customers can try a scratch-made flat bread pizza or strombolis. Our wide variety of fresh, crisp salads are all prepared from local produce.
Arooga's serves 30 beers on tap including Arooga Light, a signature light beer made in PA, and Arooga's Amber Ale specially produced in a partnership with the Boston Brewing Company. We also serve a wide selection of craft beer, imports and other domestic beers that give every beer drinker something to love. Our full bar includes our own Sagoora Quadruple distilled vodka, Island Oasis frozen cocktails and the best margaritas in town. The bar accounts for between 30% and 50% of our revenue for good reason.
Potential franchise candidates need to have a minimum net worth of $500,000 and liquid assets of $250,000 per location. The total cost of investment for one Arooga's Grille House & Sports Bar is between $592,500 and $1,685,000. The Aroogas Draft House investment ranges from $362,500 to $1,139,000. The initial franchise fee is $35,000. The company is seeking single and multi-unit operators with foodservice and/or restaurant experience. Reduced franchise fees apply for multi-unit agreements of three or more units.

All I can say is, this is truly sad, all the 4drs and wagons for the 1973-1977 GM A Bodies, like Century and LeMans, are truly extinct. Only the coupes remain and it seems only one appears on LA Craigslist
every couple weeks. These cars are truly rarer than 70s Chryslers. I could not locate one 4dr or Wagon body on all California craigslist, California Ebay, etc. I have been fortunate to know of ONE 1974 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon 4DR SEDAN that still drives around the valley here, and about the most plentiful model left in LA is always the Olds Coupe. I just can't believe that such an overrated car just didn't make it. I did sadly see two wagons in pick-a-part. I hope our K-cars aren't that way in 2020. Its already almost too late for the early 80s hardtops. In 1992, LA was FULL of TONS of every huge 70s car imaginable, a few remants remain in backyards 20 years later, but we really lost just about every 70s cars. Of course, I still see overrrated 70s Grand Prixs and Monte Carlos around. The 70s Ford LTD is the only findable large family sedan left in California as I still run into them on occasion.
Of course, most folks don't care. I would love to drive one.
No wonder so many our going for $7000 now.
Oh wait, I did see one 74 Olds Vista Cruiser wagon drive in Sylmar two months ago.

There's no doubt about it — hearing chamber music in a chamber is the way to go. Unlike the austerity of a concert hall with hundreds, if not thousands, of seats, the warmth a private home gives to a recital or small ensemble concert is the right setting. In fact, it's the setting most composers of this rich repertoire envisioned when they wrote the music.
The Artist Series Concerts of Sarasota usually presents its performances in the intimate space of the Historic Asolo, the charming Italian renaissance hall that was reconstructed here in Sarasota and is a beautiful setting for this kind of music. But, even better is the Weisenborne/Fischer residence, with its trio of grand pianos, two pipe organs — yes, pipe organs — and space for about 50 people on chairs and couches to hear recitals the way they were meant to be heard.
Sunday afternoon, violist Stephanie Block and pianist Yi-Fang Huang treated us to an appealing program of challengingly virtuosic music spanning the 19th- and 20th- centuries. By the way, if Block and Huang sound familiar, it's because they've both performed in the Sarasota Music Festival, during which Lee Dougherty Ross, artistic director of the Artist Series Concerts, heard them. She hired them to return to town for this special recital. Good thing, too — they're spectacular performers.
The 19-year-old violist, who is as proficient and poised a speaker as she is a musician, and the excellent pianist led us adroitly through four pieces of music starting with three selections from Prokofiev's "Romeo and Juliet," arranged for viola and piano by Vadim Borisovsky, who was a violist in the Moscow Conservatory's Beethoven Quartet in the last century.
To my ears, Borisovsky's arrangement, especially of Juliet's sprightly theme played on the viola, was like hearing a soprano aria sung by a baritone, turning the nimble teenager into a mature woman who'd put on a few pounds over the years. Still, Block and Huang played it beautifully, with the pianist lending solid support to the violist's rich, large sound. Yes, there were a few slips in the viola's intonation, especially when she played sul ponticello (using the bow on the bridge of her instrument). But this is a small point because, overall, the playing was superb.
Vieuxtemps' "Elegy" showed the duo off better, allowing them to play long, luxurious legato lines and still breathe in all the right places. Brahms' Sonata in E-flat had all the romantic, stunning sound the composer, who was intensely fond of the viola, infused into his music. Think of Brahms, and think rich and warm. Block's tone is all that and more, and she has a virtuoso's way of plowing into the depths of her instrument to bring out all the passion Brahms asks for without any instrumental mugging or arrogance.
Finally, as something of an encore, the duo played the "Tango," an arrangement by Efrem Zimbalist Sr. (the violinist, not his son, the actor), of music by Sarasate. Here, both Block and Huang were able to dig into the guts of the music with the violist, especially, sounding like a sexy Carmen who sings on the lower strings.
We don't often get to hear viola recitals and, while there may be a lot of viola jokes out there, her playing is no joke at all. We hope she and Huang, who also plays the viola when not sitting at the piano, will stick together as a Duo. And we look forward to hearing them back in Sarasota, perhaps in a return to the Sarasota Music Festival.
There's no doubt about it — hearing chamber music in a chamber is the way to go. Unlike the austerity of a concert hall with hundreds, if not thousands, of seats, the warmth a private home gives to a recital or small ensemble concert is the right setting. In fact, it's the setting most composers of this rich repertoire envisioned when they wrote the music.

Hi again, Maybe all of these things have been resolved by the AGE WG; if so, I apologize in advance -- but maybe still worth thinking about? "Use 12-14pt text size" - I though that any fixed text size was verboten? I use "pt" only for @media print, ems for screen typography, % usually for elements, px only for things like borders and of course images. Works with whatever adaptation the reader uses. "Provide text size adjustment link" - related to above, and I don't know what the EOWG will think, but I'd vote as strongly as I can to NOT include this feature. 1) If we do it, everyone will think it HAS to be done, which I don't believe is true. 2) There is no possible way to guess exactly three sizes that will be suitable for a real- life range of visual needs. 3) Ironically, in the usual implementation, the three sizes of "A" are pretty hard for users that might need them to actually see. 4) Modern user agents are much more flexible, anyway. I think this is a holdover from what might have been a good idea in 2001 or so. I'm not sure what "terms of conditions" refers to in the Comment column -- am I missing something on the site? By the way, I assume that "articles page" = "info" = "news" (comment in my preceeding message re: standard terms). I need to learn why avoiding blues and greens is a good idea -- greens I understand, but to the best of my knowledge, blue is the only one that doesn't turn to mud for most color-blind users. The rest of the items on this list look good -- are we supposed to go back and find more from the original, longer, WAI-AGE list that we might want to implement?

Today I am 40 years old and in better shape than I have ever been. The last 4 years have been dedicated to my return to martial arts after an 8 year hiatus. In 2009 I was in pain, depressed and out of shape. I was in an accident that caused me great pain in the lower back. My job requires a great deal of sitting, which I could not do for long periods of time making my work difficult and contributed to a lot of stress and anxiety about my ability to perform my duties. All of this made day to day living a misery. Exercise that I was used to such as biking and running were hard to do.
In July of 2009, I started to fight back. I learned about high-intensity interval training as a way to have a good well rounded workout. Over the course of a year I developed a few circuits that I used to re-build my body and prepare it for a return to a normal work/life with the hope of eventually returning to martial arts. I celebrated my 40th birthday this morning with the following workout:

Goal Attained
I began my training in North Carolina in 1984 under the instruction of Mr. Bill Osterholt and his wife Diane Osterholt (See blog post "Origins") I stopped my training at the brown belt level and we moved up north to Pennsylvania shortly afterward.
I started training again in college (1992), but stopped when I switched schools. I was a brown belt. College was tough and I didn't take care of myself, gained a lot of weight and didn't consider training again for many years later. I wanted to get back into it, but I felt I needed to get back in shape first, so I spent about a year doing a lot of hard running (4+ miles per day) and dropped 40 pounds. I had some health problems shortly after this and I didn't think about training again until several years later.
In 2004, I started training again at a local ATA taekwondo school and worked hard to quickly attain again the rank of Brown Belt. I took a break after the birth of my son, but then had a string of injuries, a car wreck and subsequent health problems. I was in a lot of pain and day to day life was very difficult and the thought of training again seemed impossible. I thought I would be stuck as a Brown Belt forever! With the strength and encouragement of my wife to support me, I exercised hard for 3 years, re-built my body, and worked on balance and flexibility.
In 2011, I called the ATA school and talked with the head instructors about returning to train with them. They were very kind and allowed me to continue my Black Belt contract 8 years after leaving the studio. I was there for about a month and hurt my knee pretty bad. I had to stop training for another year while that healed.
In 2012, I returned again, trained hard, endured another string of injuries, and became very involved in the instructor group at the school. I tested for Black Belt last Saturday and passed.
I carry very high expectations for myself and generally fall short of them. This day was exceptional. I performed well and afterwards I was proud of the achievement.
This milestone achievement could not have been accomplished were it not for the support and encouragement of the school, the head instructor and owner, and most importantly my family, who has struggled with me though the whole process. Below are some highlights from the test:

Mr. Frederick Breaks boards during Black Belt Test
Mr. Frederick throws a jump-reverse crescent kick
Static Active Stretching
As part of our workout this Saturday, I led the class in some static active stretching exercises. I like to do these stretches because they help develop the strength and balance needed to deliver solid, controlled kicks. This day's exercises consisted executing front kicks and round kicks in the following progression:
Lift the leg to chamber for the kick
Extend the kick as high as possible and hold for 5 seconds
Re-chamber the kick
Put the foot back down
- Position the pedestal leg for the kick
- Front kick: turn base foot outward 20 degrees
- Round kick turn base foot outward 90 degrees from the target
This type of exercise helps develop superior strength in the legs, hips and foot. This will make both sparring and forms training easier in the long run because students will have the strength to hold themselves strong in every component of a kick technique.
Saturday, June 22, 2013
Joint Warm-ups
Joints hold the body together and if our students have been sitting at their desks all day and commuting to work, their joints are probably very tight and stiff. Before tossing limbs about, it is essential to warm up the major joints that will be employed during the workout. I have used the following progression recently:
- Head rolls (deep slow rolling of the head from one shoulder, down to the sternum and up to the opposite shoulder and then all the way up trying to touch the back of the head in between the shoulder blades)
- Head twists (Slowly turning the head side to side as far as it will go)
- Head nods (Slowly nodding the head back and forth as far as it will go)
- Shoulder rolls (Shrugging the shoulders up and rolling them back trying to scrape the shoulder blades together
- Arm rotations (Spread arms wide parallel to the floor and make small circles , gradually making the circles larger (forwards and backwards)
- Arm crossovers: (Straight arms cross in front and then spread them out wide (back and forth)
- Trunk Rolls (Lean as far forward as you can and roll making sure you lean as far back as you can (look behind you if you can) [clockwise, then counterclockwise)]
- Hip Rolls (Veritical) (Chamber for a front kick and rotate you hip outward as far as you can and put it back down) [Left and Right]
- Hip Rolls (Horizontal) (Chamber for a front kick and rotate it into a round kick chamber and rotate it outward and put it down behind you) [left/right]
Class Structure
I wanted to share how I structure a class at my school. I have been teaching Taekwondo for about a year now and have settled on some simple plans for a good adult martial arts class. When I started, I did not want to simply emulate what I had been taught, but rather improve upon it by sharing what I know and understand through my own personal training. The basic class structure is as follows:
- Joint Warm Up
- Cardio\Strength Training Warm Up
- Dynamic Stretching
- Practical Curriculum Elements
- Stretching
This structure above is designed to take the adult body, which is probably stiff as wood when it enters the dojahng and prepares it for its best possible performance for the "Practical Curriculum" section of the class. Traditional martial arts warm-ups start with items #1 and immediately follow to #5. This doesn't work for me and from what I have learned through research, it doesn't work for most people and could lead to injury if care is not taken. The body is much more elastic after a workout and focus on stretching to enhance flexibility should be done at the END of class, not the beginning.
Front Kicks and Fore-hand techniques
This Saturday I focused on sparring for adults and focused on techniques that may work for those with limited flexibility. In sparring, we want to try and not expose our center-line to our opponent to avoid becoming an easy mark for them. #2 kicks and reverse hand techniques should be used with great care. Today I focused on making use of front kicks in sparring. In general, it makes sense to use techniques with the hands and feet you have closest to your targets.
Front-Kicks in Sparring
When I started at ATA many years ago, I was instructed not to use front kicks in sparring because of center-line exposure. This is true if we are talking about a back-leg #2 kick. However, if we make use of a #1 front kick with limited center-line exposure, we may discover a alternative tool for adults that have limited lateral flexibility to reach head-high for round kicks, hook kicks, or side kicks. Some key targets that are good for front kicks are:
Front-Kicks in Sparring
When I started at ATA many years ago, I was instructed not to use front kicks in sparring because of center-line exposure. This is true if we are talking about a back-leg #2 kick. However, if we make use of a #1 front kick with limited center-line exposure, we may discover a alternative tool for adults that have limited lateral flexibility to reach head-high for round kicks, hook kicks, or side kicks. Some key targets that are good for front kicks are:
- Under the forehand guard of your opponent
- The torso, if you can "V" out and deliver the kick
- The head too if you can "V" out and deliver.
I found that the during the exercise, the students had started to gravitate toward a more exposed posture to deliver the kick more easily. I then highlighted how to quickly turn the hips toward the target, kick, and then retreat. Following this, I had them try an inner-crescent kick and then use that momentum inward to help them retreat into a defensive posture away from their opponent.
Forehand Techniques in Sparring
I was taught long ago that hand techniques score points and that you must use combinations. Kicks in my mind are a means to an end and you are lucky if you can score with the kick. To score with hand techniques, you have to have fast hands. To deliver fast hand techniques, you have to understand the bio-mechanics of your body's weapons. To deliver a fast hand technique, such as a backfist, you must remain relaxed until ready to strike and rely on twitch muscle fibers to help you accelerate the hand to its target. To illustrate, I broke down the back fist into its sub-components. The mechanics of a backfist from a resting position are as follows:
- Forehand is relaxed at the fighter's side while he/she is in a sparring stance facing their opponent
- The arm must be lifted such that the elbow is pointing at the opponent and the forearm is parallel to the floor
- The arm must be extended outward sharply to strike the target
- The arm must be quickly retracted and then dropped to its relaxed position
Executing steps 2 and 3 must be done as quickly as possible and rely heavily on the twitch muscle fibers for speed. Today, we practiced the above using kick pad targets (pork-chop pads). Because ATA forbids throwing hand techniques to the head, backfists are only useful as a fore-hand technique when you and your opponent stand in an open stance against each other (i.e. your belt knots are pointing in the same direction). Aim for the upper or lower torso for scoring.
The second drill I covered was the fore-hand hook punch. The mechanics are similar to that of the backfist but differ in the striking direction:
- Forehand is relaxed at the fighter's side while he/she is in a sparring stance facing their opponent
- The arm must be lifted such that the elbow is pointing at the target and the forearm is parallel to the floor
- The arm must be driven in a hook motion around your opponent's guard into a spot on the upper or lower torso
- The arm must be quickly retracted and then dropped to its relaxed position
This technique is best used when you and your opponent are in a closed stance against each other (i.e. belt knots are pointing in opposite directions)

|My Instructor: Mr. Bill Osterholt
(8th Degree Black Belt in Taekwondo)
My instructors were tough, but fair. They had very high standards for technique and I worked very hard to attain the level of proficiency they required. I have studied in other schools and systems on and off throughout my martial arts career (including ATA), but I still hold myself to their standards when I evaluate my own performance. I regret not having the opportunity to continue my training under their instruction, but I hope to pass on what I have learned to others.

Are 'Natural' Treatments Safe?
Do you spend a lot of time researching "quack" science out there? And I think it's important to differentiate proven treatments versus unproven treatments. You say that in modern medicine, there really isn't a place for naturopathy. Is that because of the science versus non-science-based practice of it? Yeah, absolutely.… Continue Reading Are 'Natural' Treatments Safe?

In the middle of Mechanical Life, My Husband and I decided to get away from our daily routine and wanted to spend some time in a beautiful place, that's where "Pondy" came in. Pondicherry is the capital city of the Indian union territory of Puducherry, India.
Pondicherry was colonized by French, Dutch, British and Portuguese in the 17th Century. Pondicherry still has a community of French people living in the city, French is also an official language and their influence is reflected in culture and other factors. Most fascinating places in Pondy are its beautiful beaches, Aurobindo ashram and French colonies. The city is very clean, pleasant and maintained well since lots of tourist people are visited throughout the year.
Gandhi Mandapam at Beach Road
The Sri Aurobindo Ashram is a spiritual community (ashram) located in Pondicherry, The most important organisation also inspired by the vision of Sri Aurobindo is Auroville, an international township founded by the Mother and dedicated to human unity.
Auroville (City of Dawn) founded in 1968 by Mirra Alfassa (known as "the Mother") and designed by architect Roger Anger. Auroville is meant to be a universal town where men and women of all countries are able to live in peace and progressive harmony. The purpose of Auroville is to realize human unity.
The Matrimandir
Silence is maintained inside the Matrimandir to ensure the tranquility of the space and the entire area surrounding the Matrimandir is called Peace area. Inside the Matrimandir, a spiraling ramp leads upwards to an air-conditioned chamber of polished white marble referred to as "a place to find one's consciousness".
Matrimandir is equipped with a solar power plant and is surrounded by manicured gardens. This is the right place for doing yoga, one of the most important place in Pondicherry, looking very elegant and gorgeous.
Paradise Beach
If you are visiting Pondicherry, then Paradise beach is a must visit place. One can take a boat from the Chunnambur boat house to reach there. It is also called Island beach in Pondicherry. From the boat house, it will take approximately 30 minutes to reach the island, depending on the kind of boat you hire. One can take a sharing boat or a private boat. The island is very well maintained, the shore is clean and water is calm, with soft waves.
A truly magical place, one must visit this place at least once in their life time. It's easily accessible from any part of the country. Winter might be the best time if anyone wants to avoid the humidity and heat.
Happy Travelling 🙂

One debate, many responses: Response #4 (Clinton Armitage)
posted: 3976 days ago, on Monday, 2009 Jul 06 at 07:59
tags: atheism, atheism media.
In "By" (Die Burger, Saturday June 27) prof Amie van Wyk, a theologian, published an article titled "Three debates, many questions".
Response by Clinton Armitage.
1 "The third debate is being carried out between atheism and Christian faith. Personally I view this debate as meaningful, if it is carried out responsibly."
I fear that in the disparity between how scientists define "responsible debate" and how Christians define "responsible debate", is where the production of meaningful communication will fail. The nature of each polar model in this "debate" (in parenthesis for a reason – see next point) is a classic example of fundamentally opposite views, definitions and paradigmatic orientation – I put forward the thesis that there must be some degree of intersubjectivity between the participants in the debate to bootstrap a debate into existence. What I mean by intersubjectivity is an agreement in principle to find common ground for the delineation of strength or weakness, success or failure of a position on either side of the debate. If there is none, and that is my suspicion in this case, then there is no debate. Instead we have two different species, one speaking English, the other waxing lyrically in some unintelligible North Eastern Jovian dialect – no commonality, no communication.
What I am more inclined to propose is that, as a scientist and moderate atheist (if such a creature could exist, somewhere between Dawkins and Gould) that atheism, with a basis in science, is better positioned to generate meaningful debate as opposed to the Christian theologians who I fear, and know from experience, will circumvent any meaningful process in any debate.
Atheists, like myself, are inclined to be respectful of other peoples religious beliefs, even if we may see them as illusory and delusional in a strictly rational examination. We do this because, I feel, it has functional value within the context of social dynamics and group behaviour (some of our compatriots who were disinclined to do the same were dispatched in various ways), and because there are great difficulties in proving something (we prove the null hypothesis or work with increasing or decreasing levels of probability that make the closest approximations to our experience of the subject of study), making us tantalizingly close, but never 100% sure of our position. I personally feel it more meaningful to know within myself what is meaningfully true, than to assert that by tearing away another persons religious illusions. I contrast this with the process of proselitization employed by the religious to convert me to their way of "thinking", and their lack of respect for any alternative view.
At the same time, I also think that the debate can be meaningful – not all Christian people are lost fully, and perhaps there exist a proportion that can be rescued from fundamental error.
2 "It sets the stage for both atheists and Christians to re-state their arguments clearly in terms of how sensible [meaningful? "sinvolheid"] and feasible [defendable? "houdbaarheid"] their points of view and assumptions are."
3 "Amongst others it is about the question of the relationship between faith and knowledge/science."
4 "For the atheist there is no relationship. The more the science, the less the faith; more faith, less science. Such a (rationalistic) approach excludes faith and science from each other. To believe in God is not scientific and is an expression of a primitive or superstitious belief."
Mistaken assumption 1 – To the atheist, without religious belief and explanation, all that's left is "science" (the implication being that the latter is less meaningful than the former)
There is not "just" science left – science is the basis of meaning for the Atheist, and why not. Once you have done away with the need to reduce everything to the supposed influence of an all powerful unseen god, then there are many alternate paths to meaning and experiencing life as meaningful. The meaning we attribute to life comes from our predisposition to find and create patterns of linkages and associations between vast and varied elements of our experience – to see the connections between different parts of the ecosystem, insects dependent on the death of old animals, and higher order animals feeding on the bugs, a circle of life, for example – as an atheist, I have just as much, if not a more meaningful experienced during these experiences because science gave me the linkages and thereby made it more meaningful to me. A Christian may also see the linkages and even accept the scientific exposition of the relationship between animals and the cycle of life and death, but when they add an additional layer (that their god made this happen or had some hand in it), I feel that it detracts from the intrinsic beauty and wonder of appreciating the process. The added layer of their gods involvement is like a catch all description, a limited point of reduction, the loss of appreciation of complexity and therefore layers of beauty. If god has a hand in everything, then why must we ask the important questions – we can stop thinking all together.
If anything, there is a great danger in depending on the "answer to every question, creator of everything" paradigm because it becomes a catch all answer to everything we do not yet understand. Science provides an alternative option – the exposition of the fundamental workings of the world as we all experience it, through the systematized and replicable demonstration and discovery of processes and elements underlying the operation of all we see around us. It is a great fantasy to think of a finite point in time in the future at which we will have a coherent and complete explanation for all the operations of the universe – I have my doubts though, not because of some misguided fear that we cannot have the "mind of god" but rather that we are so infantile in our present understanding of the universe, and yet we know so much already, and like apocalyptic Christians who announce the "End of days" at every turn of a millennium, I feel the excitement of the idea of being tantalizingly close to even greater breakthroughs in scientific discovery.
And it is science and the dedicated and intelligent practioners thereof, who get us there, and keep us moving forwards towards the ultimate goal of "the theory of everything", certainly not the Christian religion which does not seem to have introduced anything new for the last two thousand years, and has been the basis for many wars and much suffering. Religion has a shadow, like anything else in this complicated and paradoxical world, even science. Science has given us the atom bomb, chemical weapons, and likely been the means by which many wars and much suffering have been carried out. I would argue that religion, and the tendency of religious people to operate on the basis of in group and out group politics, has been the impetus behind much of the instigation of the use of the weapons of science – I like to think of it as my "guns don't kill people – religion kills people" theory. So much for the god of peace – we seem to have very little peace and yet so much talk of god.
Mistaken Assumption 2 – atheists must answer the big questions or their lack of belief is inferior or not as sound as religious answers to these same questions.
Sometimes the most intelligent response, the most intellectually and morally ethical answer to a question is "I don't know". Scientists try not to answer questions with made up answers when they don't have any evidence or strong concordance between theory and experimental result.
5 "In contrast, the Christian faith accepts it that faith and science are not competing, but are complementary world views. The God that makes himself known in nature (and science) is the same God that reveals himself in the scriptures of Christ."
The assertion that the Christian faith accepts science as a complementary world view seems spurious. Christians accept science because it profers clearly apparent and demonstrable benefit – medical treatment for their children ultimately a fruit of science, not religion – whereas religion offers no appreciable reciprocal benefit of the same magnitude.
6 "Another question atheism raises is: How can an omnipotent and good God of love allow (or dispense) ["toelaat (of beskik)"] so much pain and suffering? And: how can such a God allow (or dispense) ["toelaat (of beskik)"] that people are lost forever? These are deep, engaging ["ingrypende"] questions to which no cheap answers ought to be given."
Well, if god does not exist, then these things are explained. The more we investigate the bible as the purported "word of god" and see a growing number and degree of inconsistency in its content, the more we are convinced that religion is the production of man, and his fear and ignorance. If any religion has an explanation for these things it is Buddhism. Buddhism contends that suffering and impermanence are characteristics of this life and this world. If we stop at this description, we find it in high concordance with our experience of the world. To extend beyond that point and attempt explanations involving the influence of deities is where religious delusion thrives and we enter the murky depths of philosophical debate which seems to hold only highly subjective and un-testable conclusions.
7 "The Christian faith still answers this with reference to God's promise of caring proximity ["sorgsame nabyheid"] and his love in Christ for a broken world, as well as man's personal responsibility. Regarding those who never hear the scriptures, theology makes no comment."
8 "But the Christian faith also asks important questions of atheism. The first is about the origin of the universe: Where does it all come from? What (or who) existed before the big bang? Don't we (yet) know, or did everything come into existence by chance?"
"I live on Earth at present, and I don't know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing – a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process – an integral function of the universe."
I like Buckminster Fuller's idea that he is a verb not a noun. I personally find great satisfaction in asking and reading about the possible answers to big and small questions about the universe. In some ways there seem to be long range and short range questions about the universe. Science has so far, in its relatively short history, been quite successful at answering short range questions – what causes disease? (the germ theory of transmission), why do we see such diversity of plants and animals? (natural selection, evolutionary fact).
Science also seems good at providing highly plausible and highly reliable answers to long range questions, the category into which the big questions fall. We have a credible theory of the evolution of the universe from a singularity, a point of infinite temperature and density, which expanded into all that we observe – the "big bang" as it is colloquially referred to. Are there still unanswered questions – yes, and I hope they keep coming – it is so interesting to ask and then find answers to these questions, but atheists put a lot more stead in scientific processes and methods to acquire these answers versus religious arguments loosely modified from one "explain all" text.
Science does not claim to be perfect, religion does. Science does not claim to have generated all the answers to all questions, yet – religion claims to have ultimate truth written inside the cover of its texts. Each scientific discovery of an previously god attributed process knocks down another pillar of the foundation and credibility of religious arguments. If a village died after drinking from their well, religion would say that they were smote by the hand of god. Science would find a pathogen in the water and evidence in the bodies, treat the water and restore the health of the well. One could argue that I am taking modern religion out of context here – modern Christians accept scientific explanations and the benefits of clean drinking water all thanks to science, but deny that this sliding down the slippery slope of failing to answer with any credibility the advances of science on their position, is a gradual and steady advancement to the overthrow of their entire world view. Atheists see no loss if that happens.
9 "But if everything came about "by chance", then this event is a rather unreliable instance. You don't know what it is, can't address it, and also don't know where it leads."
If everything evolved by chance, and it is important to note that evolution is not actually conceptualized as a fundamentally chance driven process, and it is discovered through the process of science that that was and is the nature of the process, then I for one, could accept that with ease. It would not detract from the wonder of our world and the process of meaning generation through my experience of this world.
Gould has written about the different senses of "random" and "chance" in science:
"In ordinary English, a random event is one without order, predictability or pattern. The word connotes disaggregation, falling apart, formless anarchy, and fear. Yet, ironically, the scientific sense of random conveys a precisely opposite set of associations. A phenomenon governed by chance yields maximal simplicity, order and predictability--at least in the long run. ... Thus, if you wish to understand patterns of long historical sequences, pray for randomness."
10 "I immediately have to point out that this argument cannot be held as evidence for God's existence. It merely serves to argue that it is more meaningful to believe in God as the origin of everything than in that everything came into existence by chance."
11 "Another question: what is the destination of the universe? Here, too, the same questions are valid. If the future of the universe is open and can go in any direction, then humans are leading a hopeless and meaningless existence. Life of earth is then a freak."
12 "The Christian faith argues that God, with his creation, is on a path of renewal and completion."
13 "The third question follows from this: If God does not exist, what then is the meaning of life? Or is life meaningless and absurd (as existentialists argue)? As the Greek philosopher Menander said, "Let us eat and drink (and be merry) because tomorrow we die." Is pleasure (hedonism) the meaning of life? Or is serving the kingdom of God in its widest dimensions the meaning of life?"
14 "A fourth question concerns ethics. Where does atheism get its ethical code? How is good and evil discriminated, and where do norms and values come from? Assume that I somehow discover what is good and evil where do I get the will-power and motivation to do the good thing?"
Norms and values are the product of social network feedback, they are local and relative to the specific geographic and community based networks of people. Norms and values are social glue, and a consequence of our evolution in and participation in group settings. We are social animals, and the "functional value" of a particular value or social norm serves to either add benefit or deficit to the follower or detractor of that value or social norm within the context of their specific society.
In the same way that the norms of the Old Testament (a menstruating woman must be kept isolated in a tent for the length of her period, for example) are not the norms of today, these things change over time, evolve and take on new forms. A likely explanation is that they are memes.
Schermer provides and interesting argument that the traditionally religious idea of the golden rule (do unto others as you would like done unto you) is flawed, and that it is more morally useful to follow the alternative (do unto others as they would like to be done unto). He calls people to ask others how they would like to be treated, instead of assuming that they would find what we would find acceptable to be acceptable for them. People are not completely rational, we also have a dark emotional side, and it has been well established that human beings do not always act "morally" or altruistically. Evolutionary psychology has interesting arguments and explanations for deception and other morally reprehensible behaviours - for example, the perceived degree of attractiveness of a person in distress is a factor in whether or not bystanders will offer assistance, some people will even step over a less attractive person in similar distress to help a more attractive person. See the work of Tooby and Cosmides for more info.
We do not get the willpower to do good from our fear of god – Dawkins argues that it is morally flawed to behave morally just because god may be watching. I like to believe that people behave morally because they see greater functional value in that behaviour than bad behaviour – either they get a reward in the form of social currency or the possibility of a great reward in the future for a small bit of difficulty or pain now. I see more answers and possibility of credible explanations here through science rather than religion.
15 "The last question: why does the atheist choose mankind's reason as the highest authority (rationalism), and also that the only way of knowing is that all knowledge should necessarily be verifiable (positivism)?"
That is like claiming that a carpenters only tool is a hammer. Science is increasing in complexity, and scientists and atheists can be eclectic in adoption of the many tools and sometimes divergent viewpoints provided by science. In between divergent theories, there may be our greatest chance of getting as close as possible to the truth of a thing. Religion offers one explanation as ultimate truth, does not attempt to become more complicated, and provides no new tools to establish truth or falsity of our experience. When we fail to find explanations for new discoveries in the pages of the bible (like credible explanations of the presentation of the geological record) then Christians get upset and have to turn to re-interpreting the same document (bible text) to account for the evidence, instead of evaluating whether the evidence refutes the credibility and usefulness of the document altogether. Atheists have just grown past this point.
16 "Do these two models present feasible answers to life's deepest questions? Have they ever succeeded in solving humankind's problems meaningfully? Isn't this a case of working with a very reduced view of mankind (and a closed world view)?"
If I had cancer, I for one would rather receive a scientifically based and derived treatment for cancer, than sit in a room and have a doctor pray for me.
17 "Isn't post-modernism, with its search for spirituality and constant reminder of the provisional nature of human knowledge, providing powerful criticism of cold rationalism (and hence atheism)?"
18 "The Christian faith avails itself of another vast source of knowledge: the revelation of God, in nature and in the Bible, but also in Jesus Christ as God's greatest, last and highest self-revelation."
19 "If He falls away, the whole edifice of the Christian faith collapses like a house of cards."
Each scientific discovery of an previously god attributed process knocks down another pillar of the foundation and credibility of religious arguments.
nothing more to see. please move along.

A New Do
July 30, 2014
We are excited to announce that a our website, www.rcskids.org, is about to get a makeover. The current design was built in 24 hours by Zurb during ZurbWired 2011 and we still love it!
So why change it?
Unfortunately, the site is starting to show its age. It was originally built on a pre-release version of Foundation 2 and now there are visual flaws appearing on many modern browsers, especially on mobile devices. Additionally, with the abbreviated time frame, many pages could not be incorporated into the Content Management System allowing for non-coders to update content.
It is now time for the site to clean up a bit. We are growing and serving more children and families on any given day than ever before. Plus, with Meaningful Use and Health Care Reform we need to get ready to provide more web-based solutions to our clients over the next few years, such as a secure portal to access their personal health information.
The More Things Change...
As stated before, we love the current design. This means that this makeover is intended to retain the spirit of the original design just clean it up a bit. It is our hope that once the update is done it will look familiar, yet cleaner, faster to load and more up-to-date.
Here are some of the key milestones for the project:
- Move all content into the Content Management System (done)
- Create the new template using the latest release of Foundation (done)
- Test, test, test
- Launch
Once we got started, we discovered some additional ways to improve the site, such as a new Donation interface and a new Calendar.
Coming Soon
Our target date to launch the new design is on August 19, 2014, the three-year anniversary of the ZurbWired launch. We hope you like it!

Former Vicker's Tank Factory, Leeds
Once a large tank factory providing jobs for many in this part of the city, the site has stood empty and derelict for a number of years. Now forming part of the East Leeds Urban Extension, the site at Crossgates, represents one of the first major housing sites to be bought forward as part of this major expansion of Leeds.
Turley was the lead integrated urban design and planning consultant tasked with bringing forward this strategic brownfield site on the edge of the urban footprint.
Our Design team was responsible for the production of a comprehensive Design and Access Statement including Design Code, to support a hybrid application for the site. This included a detailed analysis of the first 100 new homes of the development, as well as outline consent for the remaining 400 homes.

All titles are connected with the link to the youtube recording
The lively, festive D-major Prelude is all you need to mobilize a little extra energy on a gray day. Interestingly, I never liked this piece until I started to practice it - but ever since, it has become one of my favorites.
A trumpet fanfare, a rising melody made up of broken triads opens the Prelude. It's like opening the shutters in the morning, and the sun pours in. The triads cascade up and down throughout the entire piece, together with "16th note ripple" that opens the piece. An idea for the pianist - even though those ripples form a 5 note pattern, 1-2-3-4-5 may not be the best choice of fingering. The figure becomes much more even if you use 1-2-3-1-2, together with a slight rotation. The Prelude is extensive, an entire concerto on the idea that opens the piece.
The time signature, 12/8, combined with the alla breve sign, is fairly unusual. The broken triads suggest triplets, a feeling of 3, as in a dance. At the same time, you can feel the larger unit of 2 in each measure, like a steady and solemn pacing. I'm particularly taken by the spots where regular 8th notes break the feeling of the triplets in the second part of the theme ( M2) - Rosalyn Tureck plays a dotted rhythm here, but I think that robs the piece of an interesting rhythmic effect.
If we neglect the fact that Bach does not bring in a second subject, this piece has the form of a Sonata-Allegro that we find in so many classical Sonatas. The first part, which - up to the double bar at the end of M16 - is the exposition, followed by a development section M 17-40 that leads to the recapitulation in M 41.
I like to take the repeats of both parts, as Bach suggests - it makes for a long piece, but , as they say, "too much of a good thing is wonderful."
The very long Prelude is followed by a very short Fugue. The trumpets begin the subject with three repeated notes that give it a vital energy. Then the melody descends, and with that descent, it seems to mellow. In all, the subject covers the scope of an entire octave.
In his guide through the Well-Tempered Clavier, Hermann Keller recommends not to split the subject into two parts by playing each motive with a different character. I have to confess that that's exactly what I do, though, because I feel the music that way.
Interestingly, Bach increasingly splits the two motives of the subject in the course of the composition, using the second part for extensions and episodes. This results in sections that feel more mellow, a balance to the fanfare at the beginning of the subject. The fanfare is so predominant throughout that it's hard to miss, even if you're not following the music. Bach makes extensive use of strettos (overlapping subject entrances), trumpets seem to be sounding from different places all around.
At first, I played the Fugue fairly slow and solemn, like a hymn, but then I liked my teacher's idea of staying with the upbeat, energetic, attitude that characterizes the Prelude. This approach holds the two pieces together - and apart from that, not all hymns are slow.
The first sketches of this piece go all the way back to Bach's youth . The perpetual motion of scale passages and broken chords, convey energy, brilliance and determination. It is like a virtuosic improvisation, without adventurous modulations to distant keys.
The subject reverses the direction of the scale that cascades downward at the beginning of the Prelude. There is some motion in the 16th triplets, but the ascent feels difficult and labored. Immediately after reaching the peak, measured half steps lead back down, like sighs over the effort, it's all too much.
A countersubject in calmly flowing 16th appears, as if trying to calm down the restless 16th triplets. The tension between the agitation of the triplets and the calmly flowing 16ths, which I find particularly engaging, persists throughout the entire piece.
This charming piece could have been written for a Lute. Its exposed melody lines and transparent texture require the pianist to shape every note; any unevenness will be noticed.
The Fugue has an outgoing, triumphant character, somewhat similar to the Fugue in D-major. The subject is a catchy tune, easy to follow throughout the piece. There are no inversions or rhythmic alterations. In the course of the development, Bach uses strettos twice.
Once again, I don't agree with Hermann Keller, who calls this Prelude "sachlich" matter-of-fact, realistic, unemotional. I find that there is something slightly haunting, uncanny about the character of this two- part invention, which inspired me to choose the photo of a twilight sky to go with it. Andras Schiff brought out that atmosphere beautifully in his concert at the 92d Street Y, he played the piece like a fleeting shadow.
Formally, the piece follows the plans of a preclassical sonata. It has two parts, which can be repeated. The first part, the exposition has one subject only. It is followed by a development section and a shortened recapitulation. When the subject appears in F-sharp major and A-sharp minor at the end of the exposition Bach begins to add figuration in 32nd notes. At beginning of the development, these figurations expand into an ear-catching, unruly independent motive that accompanies the subject consistently to the end of the piece.
This is a very pleading, pained and puzzling piece, harmonically adventurous, as if the composer was trying to find new ways, but always comes back to the same question.
After the counter exposition, Bach uses the technique of stretto (overlapping subject entrances) to increase intensity. Shortly afterwards, (M30) the subject appears in major, accompanied by a flowing bass line that conveys a sense of relief. The following subject entrance, however, brings the piece back to minor, confirming the serious, somber atmosphere. Soprano, Alto and Tenor join together for a gentle trio that conveys a feeling of comfort, before the next subject entrance of the bass. It is almost like a solo, to which Soprano, Alto and Tenor respond with chords that fill the space of the long note. It's like an outcry - or a confirmation? At the end, we hear the subject in the soprano, accompanied by free counterpoint in the other voices, and ending in a surprising major chord - suggesting that there may be a way out, after all ?

Build Your Teen's College Skill Set
Plus Scope and Sequence
Are you and your high school student(s) planning for college? If so, there are certain skill sets that are particularly important to acquire.
Communication Skills: Strong communication skills will greatly benefit your student in any college major or career field. HSC offers a course to help students learn and practice good communications. In the Leadership and Communications Skills course, students learn speaking skills, listening skills, conflict management, and more.
Leadership Skills: The most successful students are often the ones who are also leaders. As Catholics, it is important that our students become people who are a positive influence at school and in the world. HSC's Leadership and Communications Skills course will encourage them to be people of service, show them how to be a faith-filled leader, and more.
Writing Skills: It's not enough to learn lessons taught in school, students need to be able to communicate the lessons learned in writing. Strong writing skills are vital for college success. HSC offers a strong writing program (Aquinas Writing Advantage) that will take your student from the basics (grammar, punctuation, vocabulary) to the advanced (rhetoric, research, academic papers). Your student will be ready for college writing after successfully completing these writing courses.
Critical Thinking Skills: Education should not be about cramming facts into children's heads. It should be about giving them a love for learning and the ability to think. We highly recommend formal logic and philosophy to help your student think critically and therefore succeed in all their school subjects. Logic and Philosophy are not electives -- they are vital to a core curriculum. HSC offers a variety of courses that teach your student critical thinking skills, while at the same time raising their hearts to God and finding the beauty of their Catholic faith.
ACT/SAT Test Skills: To help your student get into the college of his choice, and get the best scholarship possible, we offer courses on preparing for the ACT and SAT tests. Your student will learn how to prepare for the test, what to expect, manage time, and more for success. Latin studies should also be considered, for a variety of reasons including the evidence that Latin studies increase ACT and SAT scores.
Most Importantly -- How to Evaluate Ideas through a Catholic Lens:
In college your student will encounter many new ideas and assumptions. Some of them will be potentially damaging. We want to give your student the necessary tools to recognize and understand the worldviews they encounter and know how to articulate their own beliefs effectively and convincingly. All of HSC instructors are Catholic and teach their courses through a Catholic lens, thus demonstrating to your student how God is evident in everything. Our theology courses will specifically prepare your student to defend his faith when he goes out into the world, as well as help him build a solid foundation of faith for his life.
All of the mentioned courses are currently available through our Unlimited Access! program. These are recorded classes that can be taken on your schedule and at your pace ... and very reasonably priced! To learn more, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit http://homeschoolconnectionsonline.com/online-catholic-course-catalog/recorded-courses/
Writing, Philosophy, Logic, Theology, and Study Skills will also be offered as live, interactive courses in the 2013/2014 school year. Courses are open for registration. Please visit http://homeschoolconnectionsonline.com/online-catholic-course-catalog/ or email for more information.
There is one more skill set I'd like to mention ...
How to Use Technology in Education:
In HSC's online courses, students become familiar with the same, or similar, technology they'll encounter in college. They learn how to be engaged participants in a live, interactive webinar and gain experience using online tools to collaborate with their instructor and fellow students from across the country and the world. This is a skill set that will help them advance in higher education as well as the business place.
Recommended Homeschool Connections College Skill Set Courses
Note: We offer a wide variety of courses and this recommended scope and sequence can easily be adjusted to fit your student's needs. Of course, you'll also want to include history, science, and moth.

I have to say that being pregnant for the third time, I realize that this whole thing is old! It really is. There has not been one moment that I've been like, "Oh, third time pregnancy is a charm!" or "This is awesome!" Instead, I'm thinking, "Please, God, don't let me go to term! Please, help me start labor at like 36 weeks…"
Don't judge, just read on.
For example, when I feel the baby moving all I can think about is cracked ribs and sleepless nights getting up to pee every 17 minutes. That excitement was there for baby number 1 & 2, but this time? Not so much.
When I start looking at baby names, I think, jeez, I've nailed this twice, I'm bound to get it wrong sometime. And when I start looking at (what I think are) super cool names, my husband says, "Do you want kids to make fun of him forever?" And I reply, "Atticus is actually a very prestigious name," and storm off because I can (I'm hormonal).
I start looking at baby clothes and think, "Ehh, it'll be covered with puke and poop, so I'll just buy white onesies." Okay, this isn't true- I actually have been spending a lot of money on baby clothes…
Also I refuse to redo the nursery, it won't kill him to sleep in a purple room with pink bedding- it'll strengthen his manliness. Besides, growing up with two sisters, the kid's bound to have some sort of complex.
I even lost track of how many weeks I am- and when people ask how old my toddler is, I say 20 weeks instead of months. I've done it at least 10 times. They kind of look at me a little confused, but don't ask any further. A friend of mine (her first pregnancy, mind you) was able to tell me to the day how far she is. I had to think for twenty to thirty seconds and decided that I think I'm about 5 months…
Also- my first two pregnancies I truly enjoyed people asking me when I was due, is it a boy or a girl, and I loved telling them the name. Now, I don't want people talking to me about it. I think I'll just create a sign the I carry under my Bella band that I pull out every now and then that says, "Due July 5, It's a boy, No name yet, husband hates Atticus. I know I look tired, thanks for reminding me." On the back it'll say, "I know I'm showing, I'm freakin' pregnant."
And seriously, if one more person says, "It's okay, you're hormonal," to me, I may literally lose it. I'll show you what hormonal is…
And then there's delivery…
** WARNING!! First time pregnant woman skip this paragraph** Being pregnant the third time, I really remember what labor feels like. I have not forgotten the searing pain and the anxiety when your baby won't latch on. I have not forgotten how people come to visit me when all I want to do is get some sleep. I have not forgotten how exhausted I was and how much pain I was in the days after labor. I remember it all.
**First time pregnant woman, keep reading** I also remember the complete joy and euphoria you feel about everyone in your life. I remember the warm feeling that hormones give you for the first few weeks or so. I have not forgotten how amazing it is to step through your doors with your newborn for the first time. These are the moments I'm looking forward to.
Being a mom for the third time doesn't scare me. I just hate being pregnant again. When someone asks me how I'm feeling, I'm likely not going to lie- so if you want to know, please ask. But when I tell you I feel like shit, don't be surprised. Besides- I'm hormonal, I'm allowed to be rude.
For all of you happy pregnant women out there: I'm happy for your. No really, I am. I hope that you have an amazing rest of your pregnancy. I hope your labor is quick and painless. Like, I'll pray for it. And when you tell me you feel amazing, and labor was a cinch, I will be truly happy for you.
Or not.
Anyway- for all of your third timers out there, I'm with you! Be honest with someone today!!

Setting Financial PrioritiesPosted on April 4th, 2011 No comments
You already know how important it is to make sure that you and your partner are on the same financial wavelength. What you might not realize, however, is how important it is that your children share the same financial goals. Of course, some items in the family budget aren't up for discussion: You have to make your mortgage payments and car payments, like it or not. Where kids can have a say, however, is in how the family chooses to spend its discretionary income. Read the rest of this entry »
