CO2 can exist as a liquid at pressure higher than atmospheric. The easiest way to get this is at a sporting goods store that deals in paintball equipment. Cromoly tanks designed to handle this pressure can be filled with liquid CO2, and emptied by depressing a pin valve!
Thank you for the comments, and some great points have been made.
The emotional trauma of losing a child can be quite costly if extensive time must be taken off work and no concessions are made by the employer.
If it eliminates stress, then it may well be worth the cost, and if you choose a permanent policy it has the added benefit of guaranteeing your child's insurability as they grow up.
Going with a small benefit through a company work plan is another way to go, but will do nothing to guarantee your child's insurability as time goes on. It would simply be a mechanism to protect your own finances if you lose a child, and is one of the least expensive (and least flexible) options you can choose.
I also must agree with some of the commenters who suggest that having children is costly. In fact, it might be a good exercise to calculate just how much your child costs...purely as a way to do a cost/benefit analysis for life insurance. As an example, if you realize that you spend $20,000/year (after tax) on your child, then maybe you don't need the coverage and could still justify taking time off work to mourn properly.
This will be different for everybody. Thank you for your thoughtful comments. This is a tough topic.
Cut government at the top. Arnold has tripled the size of his personal staff, and that trend has also happened all across Sacramento. After school programs, cut. The reading program you mentioned cut. Cut everything possible except direct funding to the schools. Americorp, cut all funding to that. Its a total waste of funding, both federal and State.
Cut administration at schools. California needs to cut all the bull*hit paper work that schools have to go through for funding. Stop with the special funding. Have a straight amount of cash, per student, per day instead of what we have now.
Stop prosecuting prostitution and marijuana. These are "morality" issues, not criminal. Nevada didn't explode when they legalized prostitution. Release everyone in prison for marijuana crimes.
Schools cant afford any more cuts.
Btw, Calgrants are awarded based on getting a high GPA at a college. You cant get one for just showing up half time. Student loans are through the federal government, not state. So has no impact at all on California.
CA you need to ck your facts. Studies have been done.
CA STATE employees are some of lowest paid public employees in US. However the clowns we elect are highest paid and they get prediem on top of it. 35,000per year.
Create a crisis and they get 170.00 for every day they stay in town.
If you fired every state employee in california you would not even slove 1/2 the 24 billion the state is in hole
I found a recipe for the Greek watermelon salad a few years ago in Prevention magazine. Watermelon, feta, and fresh mint - add a drizzle of olive oil and black pepper. Eat immediately, or the salad turns to mush. This is a favorite of mine!
It's a good idea to recycle old shoes, clothes, etc... But the number of recycling programmes is less that the number of stuff around us. Unfortunately...
I think I might have been looking at your Twitter avatar when I was suddenly inspired to jot down all my watermelon tips. :) My husband gets crazy over watermelon, and he's big into the watermelon festival they have in his home town. I love that we can give the kids each a huge slice, and then turn them out into the yard for mess-free dining. Then we send them through the sprinklers a couple of times before letting them back in. Dinner and cleanup has never been so easy!
I picked the picture because I thought the thin rind was unique (I've never eaten one like this, personally). Since there are so many variations of watermelon, it's not impossible to find ones with little to no rind, some small enough for just one or two people, or jumbo watermelons with extra thick rinds. They are selectively "bred" to meet different needs, but the ones I"m used to are the Black Diamonds with the very thick rinds.
I recommend that every parent get some form, whether term or permanent, of life insurance for each child. In addition to covering any final expenses and medical care if there is any, you will want and need time off. I once spoke with a man who had lost his son in a tragic accident. He worked as a salesman so his performance directly affected his pay. He said that there were days however that once he was at work, he couldn't do anything but stare out the window all day thinking about his son and feeling sorrowful. Fortunately, they had life insurance on his son, so he could take those important days and just mourn.
So again, I believe life insurance, even on our children, play an important role in the mourning process as it allows us the time and financial ability to mourn.
These ideas are helpful cause at our house there tends to be an initial rush of excitement over a melon and then the last quarter or so sits in the fridge to rot. With these ideas maybe I'll be able to use the whole thing up with no waste.
When my wife and I discuss spending, we always compare the potential savings to the time involved. If the savings is less than what we consider our "hourly rate," then we forgo the money savings and opt for the time savings. Everybody has a different hourly rate of what they think they are worth. If you are on a salary, an easy way is to divide your annual salary by 2000 to get an hourly rate.
Linsey, was so thrilled to see this — watermelon IS my uncontested #1 fruit and this is such a fun, summery article.
I historically think of watermelons as sweeter rather than salty/spicy (as they could be in salsa) but opening up my taste palette is worth it to explore thoses senses and be creative. Thanks for sharing your melontastic ideas!
First, the charts in this post are by me, not Robert Reich, so don't blame him for them.
Second, it's true that the stastics don't show 401(k) investment gains as employee compensation--but they also don't subtract investment losses from employee compensation, so I think that's the correct treatment.
Finally, my main point is simply that a change in the division of the profits of the enterprise, such that workers got more (even if it meant that bosses and owners get less) would speed recovery from recession. (Because the workers are the people whose balance sheets are so out of balance.) I also wanted to observe that this isn't such a radical change: it would be a return to how things were in the 1950s--not, I think, our most radical era. I certainly wasn't advocating a restriction of profits.
I always try to find a good balance between being frugal and quality of life. I always ask myself before i spend money: Is this going to improve my quality of life, will i enjoy it or not?
I think if you keep asking yourself that you end up buying or doing things you like and not spending on stuff you don't need.
That picture shows a melon with almost no rind. When I was a child, I recall there was always a thick rind. It'd get pickled. I didn't like watermelon, but the pickles were okay.
No one without an income should be allowed to have a credit card, regardless of age. If you are 10 and have a job and can pay back the money, you should be allowed to have a credit card. I had a checking account at age 12 and a business by 15, never had a problem building credit without a credit card.
Amy Dacyczyn points out that money, time, space and energy/health are all precious resources that need to be kept in balance and maximized. Saving money at the expense of one of the others is probably not going to improve one's overall quality of life.
I also try to remember that my goal is to provide my children with the best quality of life now AND in the future. Obviously that requires striking a balance between the known and the unknown, which is difficult to say the least. But it's important to keep in mind that that is the goal.
Wow! I LOVE the rind suggestions! Pickles are a favorite food of mind, and this seems to perfect for our committment to try to use every bit of a fruit. (Especially since our chickens won't touch the rind.)
I can't believe you didn't add watermelon rind pickles to the list! Again, like the poster above me, an additional recipe to get out of your watermelon with a main ingredient that is practically free.
Cut off and discard the green layer of the rind, then chop the white layer into small pieces. (It's a bit tastier if you also remove all traces of pink, but it's a lot prettier and also more convenient if you don't bother.) Roll these in a mixture of cornmeal and ground black pepper, then fry in a minimal quantity of oil. The result is delicious and the main ingredient is effectively free.
I've also seen recipes for candied rind but they don't sound nearly as appetizing to me.

I think this idea sucks and is a waste of time........ Then again... I am terribly negative in the worst way.... I have a problem.
