Start Printing Your Own Money! US Communities Start Printing Their Own Money. SILVER Good Option!
SECURE YOUR WEALTH: silversnowball.com As Americans become frustrated with the US economy, more and more people are getting creative with their money, like Larry Chang and Nick Williams, who make their own currency. Yahoo StumbleUpon Google Live Technorati del.icio.us Digg Reddit Mixx Propeller A small community near Washington DC is slowly giving up the greenback for something new. Larry Chang is a money maker, but he doesnt wear a suit and tie like Wall Street tycoons. He prints and designs an altogether new currency right in the comfort of his living room. Read more I think the government is doing everything it knows, but they are still following the same playbook they know, Chang said to RT, adding, We are at a stage where we have to have a new paradigm. This is really what a local currency is. It is the answer to all of the uncertainty and insecurity around the economy. His new creation is called the Potomac. It is legal, taxed, and to many Americans it makes sense. Wall Street is really a casino and people are just really gambling with lives there, and the rest of the world is starting to realize that, Chang believes. With some predicting the demise of the American dollar, Chang is not the only one who is attempting to buck that trend. Nick Williams also took things into his own hands by designing his own bills, called the Anacostia Hours. People express a lot of skepticism about the limits of what the government can do and the problems of shoveling boatloads of …

Learn Ninjutsu – The Ninja’s Secret of Kihon Happo and Why You Only Need 1 Technique to Be a Master
If you really want to learn ninjutsu, and unlock the power that lies at the heart of the training, then you cannot fall into the habit of being a kata collector. Doing so is no different than being a stamp collector, where the only value your “collection” has is to other collectors. This article will give you a better understanding as to why, if you’re serious about wanting to learn ninjutsu, and you understand the true lesson of the kihon happo – you only need 1 technique to become a master of all of them!
Contrary to popular belief, the ninja’s technique models known as the kihon happo will teach you lessons far beyond mere blocking, punching, and applying joint locks. In fact, if you understand the secrets hidden within any one form, and you apply the formula of “kihon happo,” then you will be able to “discover” all of the other forms through diligent training.
It’s ironic how collecting techniques – as though the techniques were the lessons themselves – will actually limit and distract you from the real mastery that you’re probably looking for. I say “probably,” because there are those students out their who focus more on:
1) Being a celebrity (being a teacher rather than a student)
2) How they look as opposed to what they can do, and…
3) Being able to impress people with their knowledge about historical details, etc.
If you’re one of these students, I probably can’t help you. However, if you’re looking for the keys to be able to transcend the models and be able to develop the skills critical to combat survival – then perhaps.
To understand how to master this art with only one technique, you must first understand the secret formula of the Kihon Happo. That formula, when applied, will lead you to mastery, but it will also…
Distract you from the collector mindset (or, at the very least, allow you to use it for beneficial purposes!)
And, it will…
Keep you very busy for a long time!
In case you don’t know the kihon happo formula, here it is:
Step one - learn any foundational (kihon) technique. Note: It DOES NOT have to be one of the “official” techniques being passed around today. But, it DOES have to be “correct.”
Step two - create 8 variations of this technique. You can do this by
1) doing the technique on the other side, against a left punch instead of a right – against a left hand grab instead of a right, etc.
2) Change the level of the attack or, in the case of grabs, replace a single hand grab with a double
3) Change the attack itself (replace a punch or grab with a kick, or introduce a weapon instead of unarmed, etc.
Step three - create 8 more variations of each of the variation techniques that you came up with in step 2.
Step four - repeat step three until you have more options than you will probably ever need to survive a real combat attack situation against an attacker (NOT your training partner) who is doing anything he wants, and at an intensity that will be designed to completely end any delusions you have of greatness or mastery!
At the end of all this, you will find that, not only did you attain a level of proficiency greater than you thought possible, but if you took the time to look at the “collectors” lists, you would find that you rediscovered all of the techniques, on all of the scrolls, and then some – from just one technique!
The question to ask yourself now is…
Are you serious about mastering the art of ninjutsu – about having the power, confidence, and control to handle any attacker – any situation?

Coffee table
Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (April 2009)
A coffee table, also called a cocktail table, is a style of long, low table which is designed to be placed in front of a sofa, to support beverages (hence the name), magazines, feet, books (especially coffee table books), and other small items to be used while sitting, such as coasters. Coffee tables are usually found in the living room or sitting room. They are available in many different variations and prices vary from style to style. Coffee tables may also incorporate cabinets for storage.
The idiom “Gather round the coffee table” is derived from the furniture piece and its proclivity for encouraging conviviality and light conversation.
Origins of the coffee table
The 1st tables, in Europe, specifically designed as and called coffee tables, appear to have been made in Britain during the late Victorian era.
Prior to the late 18th century, the tables used in Europe in conjunction with a settle included occasional tables, end tables, centre tables, and tea tables. By 1780, the high backed settle was being replaced by low back sofas and this led to the development of sofa tables which stood against the back of the sofa and could be used by anyone sitting on the sofa to put down a book or a cup.
According to the listing in Victorian Furniture by R. W. Symonds & B. B. Whineray and also in The Country Life Book of English Furniture by Edward T. Joy, a table designed by E. W. Godwin in 1868 and made in large numbers by William Watt, and Collinson and Lock, is a coffee table. If this is correct it may be one of the earliest made in Europe. Other sources, however, list it only as ‘table’ so this can be stated categorically. Far from being a low table, this table was about twenty-seven inches high.
Later coffee tables were designed as low tables and this idea may have been introduced from the Ottoman Empire, based on the tables in use in tea gardens. However, as the Anglo-Japanese style was popular in Britain throughout the 1870s and 1880s and low tables were common in Japan, this would seem to be an equally likely source for the concept of a long low table.
From the late 19th century onwards, many coffee tables were subsequently made in earlier styles due to the popularity of revivalism, so it is quite possible to find Louis XVI style coffee tables or Georgian style coffee tables, but there seems to be no evidence of a table actually made as a coffee table before this time. Joseph Aronson writing in 1938 defines a coffee table as a, “Low wide table now used before a sofa or couch. There is no historical precedent…,” suggesting that coffee tables were a late development in the history of furniture.
Also use has been recorded in the ancient Greek era, following the Roman conquest in North-East Africa.
