Mineral oil is derived from coal. Mineral spirits are the distillate of coal. So, pretty much all mineral oils, spirits, and baby oils are petroleum distillates, and not natural oils.
I love hearing stories of business doing well. I just can't understand a lot of the decisions companies make towards their employees. Its like bosses forget how to be human. Thanks for the stories!
Don't rent from a big apartment complex. You'll be paying for the advertising, tennis courts, pools and workout facilities that you probably won't use. Scour the newspapers and craigslist to see if you can find an apartment with a single (not corporate) landlord. People are shocked when we tell them how much we pay for a 2 bedroom apartment. It is way below the average for this area, because we rent from a married couple who keep this apartment building as a second income. They are super nice people and we got a great deal from them. They don't even charge us a pet deposit for our kitty! Our rent also doesn't increase from year to year.
Famous Quotes are the best. Some may say that quoting is the act of stealing others intelligence, but I disagree. Thanks for this Post it made my day! =D
Rather than having to make a new starter each time or to use a wet sample kept in the fridge (which can occasionally act "temperamentally"), I have used my own dried sourdough as an ingredient for making each starter as required.
I made this dried sourdough as follows:
From fully risen sourdough I spread a layer of it, about 1/4 inch thick, on a sheet of waxpaper laid on a cookie sheet. When fully dried I peel it off in pieces and grind it into a coarse powder.
Placed in a jar in the fridge it will practically last forever.
A mere 1/4 teaspoon of it mixed with about 1/4 cup of flour and the appropriate amount of water will reliably begin the required starter.
I have been to some interviews recently. In some of these cases, employers already some on in thier mind (friends), but interviewed some potential (I guess) to keep in line with laws. To me, it is not ethical since those of us who are looking for a job are tight in cash but we still drive 1 hour in our own expense to appear for interviews only to sense that, it was merely a formality for thier HR to keep some applications on file.
Regardless, we have to be positive and keep on trying. But employers should not toy around with people
Some great tips here, and I thought I'd add my five cents on the headphones. Obviously, we all know about the Bose QuietComfort models, but there are some alternatives that are almost as good, and a lot more reasonably priced.
Flying Oslo-Newark-Houston recently (more than 20 hours total, including layovers and delays), I bought a pair of Philips SHN9500 headphones. At around 100 USD in Norway (a lot cheaper on Amazon), they were about one fourth of the price of the Boses, but still put me in my own little cocoon of silence. I know Sony's MDR-NC7s have gotten a following as well, but the Philips ones were extremely comfortable, and sitting around the ears, not on the ears. In addition, they offer great, great sound!
Definitely the gardening with young children is something to consider. In the old days, I have found it very very efficient to use different concepts that relate to a child's youth. Seeing that as an internal perspective of course.
You can buy wine or beer finings from any home-brew shop, but most of them are just some form of dried and powdered albuminim anyway. That's just egg-white. it's cheaper and easier to seperate an egg and keep the white; whisk it up with, say, a pint of your wash; let it stand for about 10 minutes and then pour it into your wash and stir it up. Use about one egg-white for every 2 gallons or so. It should settle clear in a few days. And it really DOES make a difference to the end taste. I was getting a lot of "off" flavours until Zorcy pointed out that it could be from scorched yeast in the still.
Tampa has nasty water that smells strongly of chlorine and tastes like crap. I've tested the water quality at USF a couple of times in different courses, and each time the water hardness was ridiculously high, over 200 mg/L, which explains why it takes me three handfuls of shampoo to wash my hair every time. Levels that high can also have a laxative effect. I thought it was the dining hall food that was giving me problems when I got here, but I guess not...
It just perpetuates the question that I keep asking myself and still can't find an answer to, and neither can my entire economic geography class (we were discussing it the other day): Why would anyone live here if they weren't stuck in college?
We use IM at work to talk to each other for all the reasons above. Unfortunately, I find that I have to turn off IM entirely when I need to concentrate (about 75% of the time).
I find that the interruptions, particularly for a series of questions or ongoing "chattiness" is actually disruptive. It's better to pick up the phone to have a discussion.
So while I love IM, I find it hinders my work most of the time.
Did you know that in 2000 there was an article published in JAMA discussing the deaths attributable to doctors and hospitals? If you buy those statistics then it follows doctors were the 3rd leading cause of death in the US in 2000.
I want to point out that "being fired" equates to "terminated with cause".
Being laid off or downsized is much different. Employers are much more disposed to being generous if they are the ones at fault, so to speak.
BTW, in my state, terminated with cause means no unemployment money. Laid off means you can claim unemployment. Unless you weren't a full time worker to begin with. But that's another story.
Of course the amount "kids" spend is going to be dramatic if you include the ones in college! I only just turned 20 and I'm already $13,000 in debt because of student loans, and my university is one of the cheapest in the country. Also take into account the fact that a lot of kids over age 16 have jobs and work for every penny they make. It's not like their mommies and daddies are giving them money to spend on nothing but video games and candy.
firstly, let me apologize for some typos in my first comment.i hope i got the point across. the atmosphere at fidelitone is one of overbearing intimidation in a time when jobs are scarace and the whole country is trying to get back on its' feet. everyday employees wonder if today is their day to lose their job. if anyone reading this thinks ther is any legal action that can be taken i would apprecate any advice. i will find another job, evetually,but i wish fidelitone could be told to quit their draconian behavior in this time in our country. by the way, average wharehouse labor is 10 to 12 dollars an hour they pay 8.50 to 9.00. also the standard of their incentive program is set at c+, again which is above average. oh, about 2 people are making standard out of well over a hundred. this is accomplished because management can give delay time to whom they chose.favoritism also runs rampant at fidelitone. these are my opinions after working there for very close to 2 years. respect costs nothing.
until 2 days ago i worked for fidelitone logistics in wauconda illinois. they recently implemented a incentive program. there was to be a nine week ramping up period with feedback weekly on employee progress. this did not happen. scores were posted in some departments, but i heard verty little interaction between management and employees. this interaction was the responsibilty of management as stated in an AIM pamphlet i recieved. AIM being the acronym for the incentive program.
at fidelitone parts are picked and packed, these parts range in from the smallest screw to large plastic pieces such as yard vaccum tubes and outer shells of various machines. needless to say the larger items take much longer to pack. i asked mif the computer made the distinction between such parts. it took me quite a while to get an answer which came about a half an hour before they came to fire me or lay me off. i asked these questions because my scores were low and i work very hard.(i can produce many co-workers that say i worked too hard). what i wanted was a chance at the incentive pay like the workers who get the smaller much easier and therefore faster items to pack. i never found out what their intentions were because i decided to speak my mind and used some very strong terms. my answer was the computer makes no distinction between parts which to me is patently unfair verging on ,if not,fraudulent. also the are layoffs already and weeks prior to the nine week ramping up period, which the pamphlet the company gave said would not happen without a series of write ups. these things did not happen. i am a retired laborer and was always treated as a man until this job. i think this company needs to be exposed as they want above average for way BELOW average pay.
Well this post proves my theory that most Americans don't know how to drive. They are simple licensed to "operate" a vehicle. If you can't parallel park then you really don't know how to drive. I suggest you consider taking a driving course in Europe.
i wouldn't call it shocking, i would call this facts interesting. I think the reason why so many kids can identify corporate logos is because of all the advertising and the subliminal images projected into their minds daily
Marijuana has been used for over 5,000 years with not a single attributable death. Yet it's still illegal according to the Federal Government, and classified as a schedule 1 drug. That classification means that it has no perceived medical benefits and has a "high potential" for abuse.
Numerous studies, including the Nixon report, have shown that the propaganda surrounding the drug is almost entirely unfounded. There is no evidence of any physical addiction or evidence showing it causes cancer. Some studies are claiming that it may actually help to fight cancer.
It has been used to effectively treat multiple sclerosis, depression, glaucoma, nausea, PMS, asthma, vomiting, spinal cord injuries, Alzheimer's, AIDs, and chemotherapy patients. Yet, the government still refuses to reclassify and/or legalize it.
Correlation is not causation. I put larger expenditures on the card to conserve trips to the ATM, and pay smaller ones in cash for speed.
The iatrogenic death statistics are spectacularly overblown, too... and I'm no fan of doctors and hospitals.
Mineral oil is derived from coal. Mineral spirits are the distillate of coal. So, pretty much all mineral oils, spirits, and baby oils are petroleum distillates, and not natural oils.
FYI: Baby oil is mineral oil with fragrance.

does this work for wii games?
A friend and I are doing some research for a fictional story we're writing. This came in handy. Thank you very much!

I didn't know the numbers regarding the driving and using the phone cells in the same time. These numbers are huge!
