On Socialism and Dave Ramsey - Pt 1
2009-03-06 13:58:00
On of my all time favorite podcasts regarding finance, saving money, and just "good - smart" ideas is by far the Dave Ramsey Show (http://www.daveramsey.com). Dave Ramsey continues to impress me with his "common sense" advice for getting out of debt and bulding wealth, his free podcast you can listen to his ideas from his radio program, as well as go to his site and find many tips, guides, books, and lessons (including the Total Money Make Over) that will help you get ahead in life. The only smal critism, I would have - Dave likes to somestimes get up on his soapbox (it is his show afterall) and talk about the 'evils' of socialism, in particular he is talking about government control over our lives. In this podlet, I dicuss some basic ideas / misconceptions and the "philosophy of socialism" as an economic model. I'm not talking about so-called failed implementations of socialism and cases where governments hold power and don't give it up. Back t...

Removing the BAD words from the English Language
2009-03-04 14:02:00
Words needing removed from English Language In this podlet I talk about, yep you guessed it, "BAD WORDS", but don’t be fooled! I'm not taking about swear words, slang, euphemism, expletivies. I am talking about very special words, words that make us unhappy (or make others unhappy). Certain words that I think are hard-wired into our brains to remove motiivation, to remove ‘wants’ and ‘desires’, to generally make us feel miserable. What could these words possibly be? What could possibly cause so much trouble in our daily lives? Have a listen and see! Ref: NeuroLinguisticProgramming (NLP)Read More...

Fast facts about your body
2009-02-27 17:06:00
Some more fun facts, you just gotta love em :-) From the page: Hiccups happen when the diaphragm, the muscle that controls our breathing, becomes irritated and start to spasm and contract uncontrollably. With each contraction, air is pulled into the lungs very quickly, passes through the voice box, and then the epiglottis closes behind the rush of air, shaking the vocal chords, causing the "hic" sound. The irritation can be caused by rapid eating, emotional stress and even some diseases. The best cure? Breathing into a paper bag. This calms the diaphragm by increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in your bloodstream. The length from your wrist to your elbow is the same as the length of your foot. Your heart beats 101,000 times a day. During your lifetime it will beat about 3 billion times and pump about 400 million litres (800 million pints) of blood. Your mouth produces 1 litre (1.8 pints) of saliva a day."Read More...
