George Washington was the first president of the United States and considered one of the best.

George Washington is a much-admired person in many respects. As the first president of the United States, he set the course upon which the current three-branch system of federal government is based. George Washington is perhaps the one person who can most claim the title of Founding Father.

George Washington was born on February 22, 1732 in Virginia. He was the son of well off plantation owner and spent his you in relative comfort. During his youth, the British Empire ruled the 13 colonies. Despite what you might assume, he was hardly a revolutionary and his stated goal was to become an officer in the British Army! Obviously, that goal never came to fruition.

As George Washington grew into adulthood, he became an expert surveyor of land. He worked in what was then called the American West and purchased vast tracts of land with other family members. He eventually owned over 56 thousand acres.

In 1752, George Washington joined the Virginia militia. He quickly became an officer and played a pivotal part in the French and Indian War. The French had moved into the Ohio Valley, which aggravated the British to no end. Washington was given the task of telling the French to leave the territory. When they refused, Washington suggested a fort be built and his superiors agreed.

As the fort was being built, Washington was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and given the task of defending it. Leading 159 men, he was victorious in minor skirmishes. Instead of being promoted to an officer position in the British Army, he was told no colonial could attain the position. Bitter, Washington resigned and the French turned the tide.

Desperate to turn the tide, the British Governor of Virginia reinstated George Washington by appointing him Commander of all the Colonial forces. Within three years, the French were defeated and Washington was famous. He married Martha Curtis in 1959, but they never had any children.

By the 1760s, George Washington had retired from the military and entered politics. He was a member of the Virginia legislature and a major critic of the British. In 1770, Washington began advocating forceful resistance to British rule.

In 1775, the colonies formed a Continental Congress to address the conflict with the British. George Washington was elected Commander of all colonial forces. War had already broken out in Massachusetts. Washington and his troops soon joined and the British were defeated in Boston in 1776. By summer, however, the British has sent more troops and defeated the colonial forces on numerous occasions.

Facing total defeat and a lack of money, George Washington did an amazing thing. He rallied his rag tag colonial forces and paid their wages out of his own finances. By late December of 1776, the colonial forces were starting to turn the tide against the British. After more victories in 1777, the French offered their support. It took a few years to arrive, but Washington was eventually able to completely defeat the British. In 1781, the British surrendered much of the east coast. In 1783, a treaty was signed granting the colonies their independence.

On February 4, 1789, George Washington was elected the first President of the United States of America with John Adams as vice president. As the first president, he put in place many precedents and traditions including:

1. Being referred to as Mr. President.

2. Refused to be declared King.

3. The creation of an inaugural event and ball.

4. Swearing on a bible when taking the oath of president.

5. Moving the capital to Washington, D.C.

6. Agreeing to the passage of the Bill of Rights.

7. Proclaimed the neutrality of the United States in all international conflicts.

In 1792, President Washington ran for re-election and was unopposed. He left office in March 1797. On December 14, 1799, he died of pneumonia on his Virginia plantation.

If you're someone who loves to go barefoot around the house, think about adding linoleum to your kitchen floors. There are a number of reasons, but in a nutshell, linoleum is warmer on bare feet, easier on ankle and knee joints than tile, comes in a huge variety of patterns and colors, is cost-effective, water-tolerant, and is a natural product.

I know, your grandmother's house had linoleum, and it was dull, cold, lifeless, and hard to keep clean. But that's all a thing of the past. The new linoleum has a great deal to offer. Let's look at some of linoleum's advantages.

First, let's examine the composition of linoleum as opposed to vinyl flooring. Vinyl flooring is made of chlorinated petrochemical materials, while linoleum is made from linseed oil combined with wood flour or cork dust, ground limestone, and color pigments, over a burlap, jute, or canvas backing. In fact, the very name linoleum is derived from the Latin names for two natural materials: flax (linum) and oil (oleum).

Given their difference in composition, vinyl flooring will melt if someone accidentally drops a cigarette or a match on it, but linoleum won't. The pattern on vinyl flooring is imprinted onto the top surface of the material, but a linoleum pattern goes all the way through. That means that as a vinyl floor wears down, the pattern gradually disappears. However, the same amount of wear to linoleum only reveals new color, since the color goes all the way to the bottom.

Linoleum is also very durable and can last up to forty years, even in tough, high-traffic commercial situations. Ironically, it was that very durability that led to the decline of linoleum use in homes. People simply got tired of it long before it had outlived its usefulness.

Over time, vinyl flooring, which came in many more patterns and colors, made serious inroads into replacing linoleum as Americas favorite kitchen flooring material. But that didn't mean it was superior to linoleum. Since it had a cork backing, linoleum was quieter, provided insulation that made it warmer on bare feet, was more forgiving if someone dropped a dish or coffee cup, was easier on the legs and backs of women who spent lots of time in the kitchen, and was easy to keep clean.

If you're an environmentalist, linoleum wins over vinyl, hands down. It's made of completely renewable natural materials, and no toxins are released into the environment during its manufacture. That's one major reason why linoleum is making a strong comeback in new construction and remodeling projects.

It's not the same stuff your grandmother had on her kitchen floor. It's vibrant, dust-resistant, environmentally friendly, and will probably outlive the people who install it. What could be better than that?

Broadband internet access, also referred to high-speed internet access, provides businesses and consumers, internet access at considerably higher rates of speed than standard dial-up modems. Broadband does not simply pertain to one specific type of internet service or data transfer rate. Broadband is continually changing and developing, and it encompasses a wide range of technology including fibre optic cable, cable modems, Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity), WLAN (wireless local area networks), and DSL (digital subscriber lines).

Digital Subscriber Lines, or "DSL," uses the existing customer phone lines to provide internet or intranet access to businesses and homes using high-speed broadband technology of varying levels.

Broadband DSL works by connecting subscribers to a main broadband DSL access multiplexer. The broadband DSL multiplexer sends a signal from the broadband DSL customer phone line to a network, which then in turn connects the subscriber to the internet.

Broadband DSL use digital technology by compressing sizeable quantities of video, audio, and data into what is known as "bits." The bits are transformed into graphics, text, and other information which are transferred at high rates of speed to business and home computers across the globe.

At the uppermost level, the two primary categories of DSL are asymmetric and symmetric. Residential broadband DSL typically uses asymmetric variations which include RADSL, UADSL/G.Lite, and ADSL. Data transfer rates are considerably slower upstream than downstream, so this type of broadband DSL, ADSL, is suitable for residential use where surfing the internet is the primary internet activity. Residential internet users generally have more incoming than outgoing data.

Symmetric varieties of broadband DSL, SDSL, are IDSL and HDSL. These broadband DSL variants are suitable for most business applications. Upstream and downstream transfer rates are the same, making SDSL technology suitable for server hosting, video conferencing, LAN applications, file transfers, and email.

Teachers spend so much time with our kids! Don't they deserve a thoughtful gift this holiday season?Here are some gift ideas to show the teachers how much you appreciate all their hard work.

Lotions - many teachers keep lotion on their desk. Next time you visit the classroom, notice what kind they prefer, and get them a small bottle. If you're unsure, go with a hypoallergenic lotion.

Handmade gifts - teachers love handmade gifts from their students, almost as much as parents do. Take time to help your student decide what to make for their teacher. Maybe a picture frame, an ornament, or almost anything your child can dream up.

Desk set - a nice desk set, with a personalized pen/pencil set, note pads, sticky notes are useful gifts. A desk blotter or desk calendar is also nice. There are also nice quote-a-day type calendars that are made just for teachers.

Cards - if the teacher likes to send personalized notes home to the kids, maybe put together a set of blank note cards, with nice pictures on the front.

Charitable donation - find out from another teacher if your child's teacher has a favorite charity. Then you can make a donation in his or her name.

Cookies - who doesn't like homemade cookies? Make a variety of cookies and put them together in a pretty basket or tin. You might even go together with some of the other families, and each donate a dozen of different kinds, and have a cookie exchange among yourselves at the same time.

Volunteer - even though you probably do what you can for your child's class, volunteer to come in to do a story time, or be an extra pair of hands for a class party, even if it's not your turn. The teacher will always appreciate it.

Spa treatment - many spas have specials around the holidays. Surprise the teacher with a gift card to a little pampering.

Coffee mug/assortment - a cute mug with the teacher's name on it with an assortment of teas, coffees and hot chocolate are also a welcome gift. Even if they don't like all the types of things in the assortment, they probably know someone with whom they can share.

Gift cards - there are many office supply and teacher supply stores that offer gift cards and your child's teacher might appreciate being able to pick up some things for the classroom. Gift cards to almost any store or restaurant are a good idea, especially if you know the teacher enjoys things from that store.

In part one of the Caribbean Stud Poker Tip Sheet, I went over the all-important odds chart and gave you some insight into what to expect when you're playing Caribbean Stud Poker. Next, let's go over four fast tips to help you maximize your fun and potential profit when playing Caribbean Stud Poker.

Caribbean Stud Poker Tip One - Staying In

This one is pretty easy. If you are dealt two pairs or better, add to your wager and stay in the hand. The premise is simple. The dealer will only have a hand better than two pair once per 47 hands in theory. The probability of you winning is on your side.

I'd also expand this and say that with one pair you should strongly consider staying in the hand. The probability of getting two pair is 1:21 and if you win you're being paid 1:1, so the value is in your favor. The dealer will fail to qualify very often and that's what you want when you have one pair.

Caribbean Stud Poker Tip Two - Play that progressive

Some call it a sucker's bet, but let's be honest. Why are you playing this game? To have fun and win money!

If you get a straight, flush, full house, straight flush or royal flush and the dealer doesn't quality-again, it happens a lot-you get paid nothing. I don't know about you, but if I'm dealt a four of a kind and the dealer doesn't qualify, I'll look pretty stupid for not betting that $1.

And if you're a money management and fiscal conservative, go play Craps or nothing at all.

Caribbean Stud Poker Tip Three - Nothing equals fold

Again, a super simple tip to live by. If you have nothing in your hand, fold. Why? Well, think about it. The only way you win is if the dealer doesn't qualify and that might happen say 30% of the time. If that were the case, you'd have a 70% chance to lose and you'll only be paid even money on your Ante wager. Your Bet wager gets nothing, but it can lose if you stay in.

Think about it again if you think I'm wrong. You're wagering two times the amount to win half. For instance, you're wagering $10 with nothing to win a maximum of $5 and you have a high probability of losing on top of all that. It's a really stupid move.

Caribbean Stud Poker Tip Four - Play it cool

Caribbean Stud Poker is a great game, but it's not the best game in the house. Have a blast, but never press up your bets thinking that you're "due" to win.

Take it easy, have fun, remember these tips and win some money.

Summers here and the beach beckons. Youve detoxed, body brushed and moisturized your skin in excited anticipation. You plan your summer getaways and outdoor adventures, pull out your summer clothes, buy lots of sunscreen and slap it on ever so often. But this isnt where safety ends this summer. It is the potentially harmful Ultra Violet (UV) rays of the sun that you need to watch out for, which can damage the long-term health of your eyes (laboratory studies have shown UV radiation as a causal factor for cataract) and the delicate skin surrounding them.

UV radiation can play a contributory role in the development of various ocular disorder, including age-related cataract, pterygium, cancer of skin around eyelids and photokeratitis. In fact, the eye may be at a greater risk from the sun than the skin. The skin has the capacity to adapt to UV radiation by producing melanin (tan) that protects against UV exposure. The eye does not develop a tolerance to UV rays, but becomes more sensitive with repeated exposure, and the effect on the eye is cumulative. It is important to note that reflective UV light, or glare from water, sand, snow and even the road can also have a debilitating effect on the eye. And even on cloudy days, up to 80 per cent of UV rays can pass through. So, the importance of protecting your eyes from UV exposure should not be overlooked, whatever the weather.

The natural reaction of the eye when exposed to direct or reflective light is to squint, as it tries to block out the glare, which is at best uncomfortable, and at worst squinting not only causes eye fatigue but also encourages the development of unsightly facial fine lines and wrinkles. Not particularly eye-catching!

Other cosmetic UV damage to the skin around eyes, otherwise known as photo ageing, manifests itself as dryness, sagging or loss of elasticity and mottled pigmentation. More seriously, the WHO estimates that 20 per cent of cataracts are primarily due to sun damage, and excessive UV exposure has resulted in the development of skin cancers, of which 10 per cent occur on the eyelids.

Hence appropriate eyewear and hats are not just fashion accessories but are essential. It is important to ensure that one invests good quality eyewear that blocks 100 per cent UV radiation. People who wear prescription glasses need not fret. They do not have to alternate between prescription glasses and sunglasses as they move around. Today, the market has photrochromic lenses (variable tint) which automatically adjust to the level of UV light they are exposed to, going from exceptionally clear indoors to sunglass dark outdoors.

The UV rays blocking eyeglasses provide the most complete and convenient eyewear to shield the eye from the harmful effects of the UV rays of the sun. While most prescription lenses offer some UV ray protection, not all are equally effective.

Use plastic photochromic lenses that block 100 per cent UV radiation and enhance visual comfort by preventing eye fatigue by reducing glare. Plastic photochromic lenses optimize visual clarity by allowing just the right amount of light to reach the eye. These lenses transition from clear to dark quickly when you move form indoor to outdoor and fade back just as fast when you move indoors from outdoors.

The numbers are in and you may not like them.

Its reported that Corn Products International, a company in the business of making man-made additives like high-fructose corn syrup, recorded a 14 percent profit spike in its second quarter, increasing sales from $596 million a year ago to $645 million.

If youre a shareholder, congratulations: today is your day. But for the rest of us who are concerned about our health over our wealth, the news is worrisome.

High-fructose corn syrup, an added ingredient in many of our everyday foods like soda pop, candy, sweetened cereals, jams and several baked goods, is made from a mixture of sucrose and fructose. It is used by food and drink manufacturers for several reasons: consumers like its taste as its sweeter than refined sugar, its syrupy content makes it easier to blend into soft drinks than refined sugar (according to the National Soft Drink Administration) and its very inexpensive to produce. So inexpensive, in fact, that the NSDA saved hundreds of millions of dollars by switching to high fructose corn syrup in the 1980s, according to the NSDAs vice president who was interviewed by the Washington Post.

This is all well and good for their economic bottom line, but studies have shown that the high amount of fructose in corn syrup is not properly broken down when it enters the blood stream. Unlike glucose, which stimulates the secretion of insulin that then transfers sugars to the bodys cells, fructose does not stimulate insulin secretion. Furthermore, while glucose produces leptin, a hormone that helps regulate appetite and breakdown of fat storage, fructose does not produce leptin either. Thus, consuming high amounts of fructose found in corn syrup contribute to weight storage and overindulgence.

The prooffor lack of a better termis in the pudding. Across the country, schools are removing vending machines from their hallways and lobby areas because of the growing number of studies that links the consumption of high fructose corn syrup to obesity. And with obesity, comes hordes of other problems, most notably diabetes.

According to James Howenstein, author of the book A Physicians Guide to Natural Health Products that Work, 3 out of 100,000 people had diabetes in the 1880s. Today, estimates indicate that 10 percent of the nation300,000 peoplehave some form of diabetes. And the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention abets these statistics by pointing out that 3 out of 50 Americans have Type II Diabetes, a 33 percent rise in the past decade.

Type II Diabetes is strongly associated with a lack of exercise and a poor diet, said Blended Medicine author Michael Castleman in an interview with Newstarget.com. He went on to say that the particularly harmful diets are the ones high in fat and sugar and low in fiber.

Its no wonder that there are so many cases of Type II Diabetes when you read the estimates by the Life Extension Foundation, who estimate that the average American eats 150 pounds of sugar per year. Or how about the study done by Tufts University Health and Nutrition Center who found that Americans spent $21 billion on candy alone in 2001 (more than the total value of goods and services produced in 2001 by Lithuania, Costa Rica and Mozambiquecombined).

The links between high fructose corn syrup dont stop with diabetes and obesity. Its also linked to immune system malfunction, high blood cholesterol levels and osteoporosis. This is because high fructose corn syrup, according to Prescription Alternative authors Earl Mindell and Virginia Hopkins, depletes the chromium levels that assist insulin in the passing of glucose from the blood stream to the cells.

The facts dont lie. Its important to know how high fructose corn syrup affects our bodies now rather than later and then act accordingly by reducing or eliminating them from our dietpreferably before we see another rise in Corn Products Internationals profit margin.

Writing in "journals" or "journal time" was one of my favorite subjects growing up in school. I can remember looking forward to the comments the teachers would write daily in my journals. As years passed on in grade school, I grew accustomed to positive grades and opinions being given to me on my journal entries.

I could remember journal writing was a must do all the way up to attending high school. When I entered college, journals became non-mandatory. What a shame.

Journals are like having a conversation with a person, yet written down on paper. Journals force you to focus on your own thoughts, not necessarily the thoughts of others. I truly believe that my personal thoughts about what I was learning daily helped me become a better writer.

I find that journals help students think of their writing as purposeful, rewarding, and wonderful. Journaling is a great task to do on a daily basis in the classroom. Writing journals ARE a wonderful form of communication(a very important Language Arts concept). The reader and writer are more involved in the process, and the writing can many times be extremely focused, detailed, and specific.

I am learning that journal writing interests me to the utmost. The overall structure of journals is very free, fun, and focused to me. I make entries to my personal journal daily. Often they are about things I have learned or things that the Almighty has taught me that day.

The thought process of a writer is the key to what all journals should be about. Journals are very much like creative writing in a box. Overall, journals are enjoyable to write, and at the same time they are very relaxing and a great escape from the rigors of daily life.

What I picture my students writing is basic creative thoughts that come from their minds. For example, as a class, we may have a discussion about taking care of dogs. I, as the teacher, expect to read journals on either what it is to raise a dog, the students' own opinion on dogs, what type of dog they should own, and the pros and cons of having a dog.

Or...whatever else they'd like to write about dogs. I hope to have a free, open writing policy with my students, so that they are free to express themselves clearly in thoughts, questions, and especially in their writing. In conclusion, journals ARE the last task that my students do at the end of a busy day. I have them write about what they learned that day and...they love it.

Many people want to make sure they are providing for their children as much or more than their parents provided for them. While you dont want to give to your children blindly, you would like to make sure you are raising your children to be conscious about money and financial matters.

Paying a regular allowance is a hotly contested topic. Should you pay a regular weekly amount or just pay your children for chores around the house? There is no reason you cant do both. Providing a regular allowance can offer your child a sense of independence and understanding of money. However, you dont have to give them too much and you can also pay them extra for certain chores, like mowing the lawn or extra cleaning around the house.

You dont have to share every detail about your own personal finances (for example: I cant believe my credit card bill is $3,000 this month!) but you also dont want them to grow up completely ignorant about money. If you have a new job and want to watch expenses, this is something they ought to know. You can also share with them how much the grocery bill costs or how much the movie ticket costs but they dont need to know how much the mortgage payment is every month.

A common used technique in parenting is giving children choices. This can be applied to money matters as well. A great example is a childs birthday. You can offer them a big birthday party or a special gift (like a new bike) but not both. They dont need to know the actual costs, but by becoming more involved in the process, they learn how to prioritize their financial decisions.

Teaching your children about the concept about saving is especially important. Once they start getting a regular allowance, you should encourage them to save a portion of it for special occasions. They may not do it, but where else are they going to learn about it? Once they get old enough (at least 8 years old), they can also learn the basics of investing with some fun games or children focused mutual funds. Junior Achievement offers some wonderful programs in elementary schools. At the same time, you can also introduce contributing to a charity. They can either give through their own money or you can give them a certain dollar amount and let them choose their own charity.

When they reach high school age, there are basics concepts of personal finances that should be taught. These include putting a budget together, balancing a checkbook, and the concept of time value of money (for example, interest growing in a savings account). These are all invaluable lessons they will apply for the rest of their lives!

I had a boss once who was always moving around in the office and active. He never sat in one place for very long. He would find any excuse to get up. If someone came in, he would get up and greet them. If the phone rang, he would get up and go to another room to talk. If he needed a file, yep the file drawer was a walk away. He would sit for a short while, get up, sit for a short while, get up. You would think of him as fidgety but in essence he was doing the right thing--moving around.

The danger of having an office job or a computer work-at-home job may be obvious to some but many of us ignore its fatal path. I love to write but found I loved my craft so much I was sitting for ten hours straight. I could hardly feel my legs. The non-circulation in them had made them a pile of mush. I didn't care because I was having fun at the computer. Then I remembered my ex-boss. "Get up and move around, Carol," he constantly reminded me. He was a very intelligent man and his words came back as a reminder. It's good it did. I was starting to feel exercise deprived--sluggish, tired and blah.

Particularly if you are a senior who is now retired, you must be careful of sitting around too much. Turn off the TV, get out of the chair and take a walk or start an exercise routine. If you live in a retirement community, this is easy to do. There usually is a community fitness center, pool, or golf course. Once you get out, you realize what you have been missing. Exercise with a friend to help you stay motivated. This is an opportunity to help you live life feeling better and longer. Don't let the computer or TV be your only recreation.

I now take longer walks, go to the clubhouse fitness center and pool. One thing about walks is that many take a short walk and think that's it--I've exercised. Not true. Make your walks longer so that it becomes an aerobic workout. What does 30 minutes of exercise 3 times a week mean. We walk all the time anyway so is that considered a workout. I don't think so. Go to the Fitness Center and see what they can do for you but continue walking energetically, too. Always, of course, check with your physician before starting a fitness program. The Fitness Center is better because it gives you a workout.

I am putting more emphasis on staying fit so that I can do the thing I love, writing for my websites, better because I feel better. Retired seniors, writers and all office workers and computer workers need to take frequent breaks. In the long run, you feel better and protect your health.

Note: Just released Guidelines from the American Heart Association increase amount of exercise recommended to at least an hour on most days of the week.

Tutors nowadays are having a harder time tutoring. Some kids are rude and irritating and they do not pay attention to class. The worst thing is, their parents are shielding them. Their kids are their pride and joy, no matter how they make their tutor's lives difficult.

There have been horror stories, of course, about rude kids and even rude teenagers. While tutors genuinely want to help them, they have been making it difficult for the tutor to do so. However, sometimes its due to the pressure of not being able to do the simple questions that made them become easily irritable and display their irritation at their tutor.

Parents, themselves, have suffered when their kids stomp off in a huff in the middle of a conversation. However, it is not right to shield your child all the time. If the tutor gives you a honest feedback that your child is making it difficult for him to teach, then you would need to step in.

While I do not profess to be an expert at parenting, I have noticed that some parents have a "I do not care" attitude when tutors inform them of their child's constant irritation and tempers. Of course, parents have a right to adopt this attitude. After all, if no one wants to step in to help, then the tutor will have to, albeit unwillingly, continue to tutor the child to the best that he could.

This creates a very unhappy working relationship and environment. You may not be getting the best from your tutor, and your tutor may be more than willing to take another student who pays the same amount of money. No one would be happy working in a place where they get yelled at!

Yes, in fact, there have been many instances of children liking to display their tempers with their tutors. They believe that since the tutor is getting paid for doing the job, then the tutors are considered their employees. Tutors are not garbage or beggars that are taken in from the street. Even beggars have their pride and ego. Tutors would also hope to be respected and have a nice working environment.

Thus parents, do help your tutor and help your child. When you detect that something is wrong, perhaps its time to take certain actions. However, you have to determine who is right or wrong. Wrongfully pointing fingers at your child will not make things easier too. It is best to sit your child down and have some quiet moments talking about the lesson. Maybe you will find out the reason for his or her constant irritation.
