What is this whole rating thing all about? Why do countries have ratings? And what is the purpose of it?
Ratings is how credit worthy a organization is. In this case a country, but it is also used for corporations. It is similar to your credit score.
The reason a country, or an organization has a credit rating is to give investors, or loaners an idea of how capable the organization is to pay back the debt.
If the US gets downgraded to a Bbb credit rating it is basically like saying that their is a greater risk that the US can no longer pay its debt. It is like your credit score going down.
What is the best solution and mop to use when cleaning ceramic floors, what makes them shine the best and what cleans them the best. Everything I seem to try is to soapy and does not clean good. Thank you.
I’ve had ceramic tile floors in the whole house for over 25 years and agree, soap doesn’t work. I’ve always used warm water with white vinegar in it. It cuts grease and puts a great shine on the floor — also, does NOT make the tile slippery like soap can.
Hope it works for you.

I am curious, what is the best string gauge for solos?
Also, how do you adjust your neck or bridge to accommodate for the string gauge.. meaning how do you know which adjustments are going to be best?
I use Earnie ball regulars. The high E starts at .10. I wouldn’t go with anything lighter that .09 because you’ll get weaker sound and it tends to not stay in tune as well. Most great soloists play .09 to even .11. Work slowly when changing the action at the bridge to get it just right before it starts to buzz and check the neck for straightness, as well as intonation by moving the individual saddle pieces forward or back to get the 12th fret in tune with the open.
Go to wikipedia or Google for further explanations on intonation, guitar action, and truss rod on neck.
P.S.
Remember, don’t buy anything less than .09 if you want to keep a great sound.
Many comparisons can be made to the capitalist overlords that threatened the livlihoods of the Na’vi race because they wanted access to their mineral deposits and the American attitutde ‘you do things our way, or we destroy you and take it’. My question is, when Americans watched the film, which side were they on? The invading force or the Na’vi?
tyes it true

I currently bought a home and I need home insurance. What is the best way to compare home insurance quotes? I want a good policy but I have a small budget, Is there a way to compare home insurance quotes online?
To compare home insurance quotes you have 2 options. Spend your day calling agents in the phone book and getting quote after quote. Or my favorite fill out one form and make the agents compete for your business.
A company called insure me allows you the ability to complete one quote form, then that form is sent to all agent within your zip code. The agent in return will send you their quotes based on your information.
This method allows you to compare home insurance quotes by filling out one 5 minute form. Its real easy and fast, I have included a link below so you can get the process started or read more about the process.

Good Luck,
Is there any validity to my perception, that Toyota Motor Company has surreptitiously subsidized consumer reports Magazine?
consumers Reports is not subsidized by any auto manufacturer, but they have for years had a bias against American made vehicles. They claim to be independent, but their corporate culture has a definite tilt towards certain car makers.
If you were to go to the local Ford owners club and ask them to rate Ford, Chevy, Honda and Toyota, you would expect that they would rate Ford highest. This is what happens when Consumers Reports hires only people who think the same way, and bring their own biases to the ratings
