Two decades ago, quite a few firms in the hospitality business decided they would add assisted living services to their portfolios. Most failed spectacularly, for a reason that in retrospect should appear obvious.
Many of the failed launches viewed assisted living as a hospitality business with a few caregiving accoutrements thrown in. Talk about getting things backwards!
Given the current profile of assisted living residents — which is remarkably similar to the profile of nursing home residents circa 1995 — it seems pretty clear that quite a few of the unsuccessful operators really didn't understand the business they were in.
Sadly, some remnants of that outdated perspective linger on. Look at the way so many communities market themselves these days: by showcasing spas, fancy furniture and other top-shelf amenities. That's all well and good. But those are appetizers, not the main course.
To be fair, most of your prospects don't mind the goo-gas. And quite a few will see them as a differentiator. But is that what they really want?
I'd say the answer is no. What most seek more than anything else is a place where the loved ones they put in your care will be safe.
Yet many operators are loathe to emphasize this simple, obvious benefit. After all, it might make them sound like a nursing home. Yet the odds are pretty good that future residents will have even higher caregiving needs.
So here's some advice for what it's worth: Make it clearer than clear to potential clients that you will keep their loved ones safe. And while you are at it, start seriously considering ways to step up your capabilities. You might want to pay particular attention to what used to be called, ahem, healthcare services.
Or you can keep telling yourself that you are really in the hospitality business. But I've read that book before. And it never has a happy ending.

Women's size guide – US sizes
Of course, there isn't, but, somehow, we all feel slimmer with that smaller number embossed on the designer's label. UK dress sizes can be downright confusing, the system is not standardised at all, which creates some issues. However, due to vanity sizing, the current US dress sizes have little or no meaning. Dress sizes are not consistent across the globe and a number of major clothes sizing systems are in use, including two in the US Misses' sizes and Women's sizes , one in the UK and three in Europe French, German and Italian.

These healthy pumpkin streusel muffins with chocolate are a delicious, low sugar autumnal treat. Made with pumpkin spice and roasted pumpkin, they are full of flavour and goodness.
These low in sugar pumpkin streusel muffins with chocolate make a delicious breakfast or snack idea. Full of fibre and veggie goodness they are super easy to make.
How to roast pumpkin for pumpkin streusel muffins
People often use shop bought pumpkin puree thinking that it's too difficult to make their own. Or they are just not sure how to roast pumpkin and make their own pumpkin puree. The truth is it's really really easy to do!
First of all, choose a small pumpkin as it'll be easier to cut. For this easy pumpkin muffins recipe you will only need half of a small pumpkin (approx.. weight 1400g). So start by cutting your pumpkin in half and removing the seeds. Put 1 half in a plastic bag and refrigerate to use later (keep in the fridge for up to 3 days).
Cut the other half into thick wedges and place skin side down in a baking tray. Sprinkle with fine sea salt, drizzle with a little oil and bake for about 45 minutes. (See photos below).
Remove from the oven, let cool for 2-3 minutes, then separate the pulp from the skin using a melon baller or large spoon. The pumpkin will be very soft so this will be easy to do. Then simply combine your roasted pumpkin pulp with the pumpkin spice and puree!
The great thing about making your own pumpkin puree is that you can roast the pumpkin ahead. Once you've removed the skin you can keep the pulp in the fridge, for up to 3 days, until you are ready to make the recipe.
Also, while the pumpkin is in the oven you can prepare the rest of the ingredients. So that once you've made the puree all you have to do is combine it with the batter and spoon the mixture into the muffin cases.
How to make healthy pumpkin streusel muffins
Start by roasting the pumpkin.
Discard the skin and puree the pulp with the spices
Make the chocolate streusel topping while the pumpkin is in the oven
Combine all the ingredients, spoon the batter into the muffin cases, top with the streusel and bake for 23 minutes.
Remove from the oven and transfer onto a cooling rack. Enjoy warm!
What else can you do with roasted pumpkin puree?
You can use it in other bakes, such as this Dairy Free Pumpkin Brownies Recipe. Other than the roasted pumpkin these healthy brownies contain lots of chocolate chunks that melt in your mouth if you eat them warm!
Pumpkin has a very mild flavour so it can be combined with many ingredients and will work in lots of recipes. It makes a great 'hidden' vegetable in recipes such as the bolognese sauce and other pasta sauces, both vegetarian and meat based.
You can add it to soups, stews, curries and dips as well as pancake recipes. You can also make an autumnal smoothie using pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, banana and milk!
How to make chocolate streusel topping
These healthy pumpkin muffins are delicious on their own but they are super delicious with my easy chocolate streusel topping! Chocolate and pumpkin make a fantastic pairing so it's really worth doing this little extra step.
The 4-ingredient dark chocolate streusel topping for muffins takes minutes to make. Plus you can prepare it while the pumpkin is roasting.
Simply combine 1/3 of the flour mixture with the butter, cocoa and 3 tablespoons of the sugar and rub with your fingers until crumbly. Set aside while you prepare the muffin batter. (See Instructions below for more details)
Enjoy these delicious easy pumpkin spice muffins for breakfast or snack anytime! They make a great easy lunchbox idea too.

Warning for 2019 regarding TWP Branded products on "fake" TWP sites
Please beware of "fake" TWP eCommerce & Amazon sellers who are claiming to be Authorized TWP Dealers and/or offering "sales" or "liquidations". They are not legitimate dealers, recognized by TWP manufacturing.
When buying TWP Branded Products directly online from TWPStain.com we know the consumer is fully protected and protects our reputation for treating customers fairly with Genuine TWP high-quality products and service. Only TWP Authorized Online Dealers can display the TWP Online Dealer Logo and offer full warranty and customer service.
TWP 200 Series is now available to be shipped to Canada!
The TWP 200 Series was designed for shakes and shingles but can be used for all exterior wood surfaces such as decking, fencing, log homes, cedar framed homes, etc.
TWP 200 Series is a semi-transparent oil based penetrating finish designed to extend the life of exterior wood such as decking, cedar shake siding, and shingles. Containing a paraffin oil, TWP 200 series penetrates wood extremely well. The Paraffin oil is a "non-drying" oil that enhances the wood cells structural stability. This greatly improves the woods life and appearance.
TWP 200 Series primary function is to enhance the structural integrity and appearance of aged roofing. The finish composition will minimize grain cracking, cupping, surface erosion, water absorption and surface attack from mildew and algae. Although the system is highly penetrative, the residual surface film is highly resistant to destructive organisms. The penetrative portion of the product absorbs into aged and porous wood, adding bulk to aged and brittle wood fiber. This restores lubricity and flexibility to brittle shingles. At 94%+ solids, these products comply with all current federal and state VOC (volatile organic compounds) regulations.
TWP 200 SERIES will not crack, peel or blister making maintenance an easy task to perform for extended wood protection.
Material Preparation:
Due to different substrates, wood density, sanding, wiping and application methods, and atmospheric conditions, ALWAYS check actual stain color for accuracy before finish work process begins. We are not responsible for color variances following application of the product.
**TWP® 200 Clear allows wood to gray naturally

Best coating on the market for shake and shingle cedar roofs.
We have a new deck, put up in December. It gets direct sun most of the day. I would like to keep most of the natural wood look. Which product would be best?
I have a pressure treated deck that has weathered for about 1 1/2 years, which one of your stains will last the longest. I live in Tennessee. The deck gets a lot of evening sun.
I have purchased a new home that the outside decks have been stained with California cedar # 205 shake & shingle sealant squ. # 7 44575 20505 6 I love it & need to order 5 gals. is this still available I would like to order this right away if you need to contact me 908-907-7437 I just want to make sure all is the same the can lists a date of 2007 on it.
I just purchased 5 gallons of your 210 slate grey. the grey is very hard and solid like on the bottom of the can.is not stirring up very well. any ideas?
I purchased 1 gallon of TWP slate Gray 210 several years ago . I now need to replace some deck boards and re- stain.
Do you still sell in a single gallon container?
Ive done some research and have decided on trying your product. I have rough cut red cedar I milled 3 years ago that has been stored in a shed. It will be installed vertically. I am wondering about the clear finish. If I use it will it naturally turn gray even it I kept up on maintenance and recoated as per your specs? DO you recommend coating the back side also? It will be installed with horizontal nailers about every 2 feet. The cedar is a full 1 inch thick and random widths of 6 to 8 inches wide. Also, there is some with dark red to purple in color due to not being in the sun. I assume that will fade out in a short ammount of time? Kinda kicking around the idea of the Gray color also. Do you have or know of where I could see some colors on some actual houses? Thanks for your time, as I am sure Ill have a couple more Questions.
C. Shinn
I have a 35 year old cedar shiplap (tongue and grove) siding... fairly worn stuff. My painter is reccommending the 200 series over the 1500 series. The 200 series will work on Shiplap, right? The product says that it is for shake and shingle but I assume it will work on any type of cedar well. Thanks.
I have a hem/fir log cabin like novelty siding. It has been stained with Olympic Cedartone 4 years ago and is starting to fade. What TWP stain would be appropriate to stain over this? What cedar tone like stain is the lightest color?
Hello - I am in Michigan and had a cedar fence installed in June - a few areas have begun to gray slightly, but for the most part I like the more natural color shade and do not want to hide the rough wood grains - which stain would be best to give me a slight tint without having a painted or solid-stain appearance?
Right now I'm leaning towards TWP200 or 203 - will that be my best bet to add a little bit of color without masking the natural look of the fence?
Thank you for your help!
Hello, please help. I recently received 2 estimates for a deck stain. The first guy said he would use 2 coats of TWP 100. The next person said that he would use a single coat of TWP 201. When I asked about the difference, he told me that the 201 was just a commercial grade product. I went with the second guy and today my deck was stained with 201. After reading the PDS for 200, I see that the product is intended for shakes / shingles. I am especially concerned about the statement that "the system is designed for non-traffic surfaces"
Do I have anything to be concerned about since the 201 was applied to a surface that it wasn't intended? Do you have any info on using this product on decks?
Thank you for any information.

The young man's uncle came by with a boat, and he joined his uncle in rescuing 50 people including, eventually, his own parents. The Coast Guard chopper never did come back.

That's true. I think that Die Hard is a great comedy, but instead they put an action hero on the Inspector Clouseau role. Rickman is great, and the terrorists do everything right, and the police and FBI do everything wrong, and still the terrorists plans are foiled. I just watched "It Started in Naples" with my daughter, we enjoyed that a lot. I liked the performance of "You wanna be Americano" (which incidentally, the browser suggested correctly the last word of that title after only typing a few letters) "Houseboat" was another good one.

Nutritional Value
Wild carrot seeds are a diuretic and a stimulant, and the roots are used as a treatment for jaundice and threadworms. The tap root lacks any orange pigmentation and therefor is void of beta-carotene.

Applications
The roots of Wild carrot are edible and best when cooked, as they are thin and stringy when raw. The roots may even be dried, roasted and ground into a powder for a coffee substitute. The flowers are also a culinary treat. They may be fried as a whole cluster, steeped for an herbal tea or used to aromatize simple syrups and vinegars. The leaves are also edible and offer a delicious herbal carrot flavor to stocks and soups. Wild carrot seeds are very aromatic and may be dried and used as a spice.

I can't vouch for the above personally, except that the main root smells like a carrot, and while not particularly good to eat, will not kill you in small quantities. Never heard of the seeds being a stimulant before though. Since the web site goes on to say that the Mohegan Indians used the seeds to treat diabetes, I have to wonder, since I doubt that on a pure aboriginal diet in North America, diabetes was a big problem.tim in vermonthttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-14226844943414045622017-09-01T23:48:01.627-05:002017-09-01T23:48:01.627-05:00My first thought was King Meade added that E to yo...My first thought was King Meade added that E to your first name. traditionalguyhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-70527645330830981632017-09-01T22:43:43.402-05:002017-09-01T22:43:43.402-05:00Queen Anne's Lace is one of those subtle-but-b...Queen Anne's Lace is one of those subtle-but-beautiful flowers most appreciated by people with high myopia.

SPOILER ALERT – Is it all over for Emmerdale's Faith and Pollard?
Also this week...Daz has a sad return to the village
When it comes to gentlemen of a certain age and their bank balances, it has to be said that Faith has previous form.
Her last husband popped his clogs thanks to Faith and a Viagra pill, so David is right to be a little apprehensive that his dad is now stepping out with her.
"Faith really enjoys Eric's company and taking the Michael out of him," says Sally Dexter, who plays her. "And I think he enjoys her a little bit too."
That said, Pollard has not been in the best of health (being hit with a baseball bat will do that to you), so David gives his dad a talking-to.
This turns Faith and Pollard's subsequent date into a disaster, as Pollard fishes for reassurances that she's not just after his money.
And when he recoils from her during a snog in the back of a car, Faith worries it's because he's heard about her mastectomy.
"It's a bit of a mistaken moment when Pollard pulls away from her," explains Sally, "but she is still very vulnerable about her mastectomy. It's no surprise really that she jumps to the wrong conclusion."
David later admits he got it wrong and accepts that there is real chemistry between them but, by then, Faith is off with Rodney. When Pollard swings by in his Bentley as Rodney takes Faith on a less-than-awe-inspiring bus ride, will she realise what she's missing out on?
"Rodney is a very handsome chap," says Sally. "But Faith is still trying to get back at Pollard a bit."
Let's hope they both see the error of their ways, as we reckon they're a match made in soap heaven.
Daz's sad return
Kerry, Charity, Bernice and Amelia are feeling pretty pleased with themselves when they arrange an event to help local homeless people.
However, one person who isn't likely to be delighted by their good deed is Dan.
When his homeless brother Daz (Mark Jordan) turns up on Harriet's Bible bus, Kerry convinces him to have a haircut, a meal and a sleep at the salon.
The last time Daz was in the village, he snogged Kerry just before her wedding to Dan – so what will happen as the siblings come face to face?

Why Scientists Shouldn't Write History
Plato was 'silly.' Bacon 'overrated.' Galileo 'behind the times.' At least from the point of view of a modern physicist.
The theoretical physicist Steven Weinberg joins a list of distinguished scientists who have turned their hands to historical or philosophical reflections on science. Mr. Weinberg won his Nobel Prize in physics in 1979 for theoretical work on the unification of forces operating between subatomic particles. As his active involvement in research declined, he has become a prolific contributor to what's called the "public understanding of science"—writing a popular tract on the search for a "Final Theory" in physics, decrying the corrosive effects of religion on knowledge and morality, trying to protect spending on particle accelerators from small-minded politicians, defending science against supposed armies of "social constructivists" and "relativists." Mr. Weinberg was one of the authors of a comprehensive theory of subatomic particles and forces known as "the Standard Model," and "To Explain the World" works within what was once "the Standard Model" of the history of science.
There are eight chapters on ancient physics and astronomy (when the Greeks almost got it right); two on the Middle Ages (when "not much [was] accomplished" but when "the ground was prepared" for later developments); and five on the Scientific Revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries (when, for all practical purposes, the crucial bits of modern science were discovered). These are followed by almost a hundred pages of "Technical Notes" for readers needing to freshen up their school physics and astronomy. Apart from some personal anecdotes in passages about present-day science to which Mr. Weinberg himself has made such important contributions, little is said about post-17th-century developments, which he apparently considers a mopping-up operation. In fact, Mr. Weinberg's book is a history of some aspects of physics and astronomy, not a history of many of the things that have been called sciences: there's just a little about medicine (mainly about absurd beliefs of the past) and next to nothing about chemistry, biology, natural history, the earth or the human sciences.
To Explain the World
By Steven Weinberg
Harper, 416 pages, $28.99
"To Explain the World" is as personal as it is traditional. It's about how the scientific past appears to the author as a "modern working scientist." Mr. Weinberg wants to describe "how science progressed from its past to its present," and, while he knows that many historians— Thomas Kuhn, most prominently—took the view that linear and cumulative progress is a problematic notion and that history is properly about trying to understand the world of the past in its own terms, Mr. Weinberg swats that notion away like a slightly annoying bug: "I don't buy it." He wants to share his view of how the now-accepted laws governing the world were discovered; how science as the privileged method of discovery—itself "waiting for people to discover it"—was discovered; who deserves prizes for anticipating modern scientific knowledge; and who deserves a good boxing about the ears. The announced purpose of this book isn't understanding the past in its own terms, but "judging the past by the standards of the present," awarding, as historian Charles Homer Haskins once put it, "medals for modernity."
Plato was "silly"; Aristotle was "tedious" and "wrong about the laws of nature"; Galileo's emphasis on geometry over algebra "was somewhat behind the times"; Bacon was "overrated" and, despite the enthusiastic embrace of Baconianism by generations of thinkers, "It is not clear to me that anyone's scientific work was actually changed for the better by Bacon's writing." Descartes was overrated too: "it is remarkable how wrong Descartes was about so many aspects of nature," and his assertion that animals are machines, lacking consciousness, is refuted "on the basis of observation of several lovable pet cats." Newton escapes whipping: His achievements "provided the paradigm that all subsequent science" (botany? seismology?) "has followed, as it became modern."
Victorian histories of science were typically structured around a great and inevitable war between science and religion: Science was thwarted when religion was dominant, and science progressed with the "disenchantment of the world." Mr. Weinberg is a modern Victorian. The authority of organized religion is identified as a problem for science, but more fundamental is the religious presumption that the universe has purpose or meaning: "The more the universe seems comprehensible, the more it also seems pointless," as Mr. Weinberg famously said elsewhere. And here he writes that "It was essential for the discovery of science that religious ideas be divorced from the study of nature."
There's a story told about a distinguished cardiac surgeon who, about to retire, decided he'd like to take up the history of medicine. He sought out a historian friend and asked her if she had any tips for him. The historian said she'd be happy to help but first asked the surgeon a reciprocal favor: "As it happens, I'm about to retire too, and I'm thinking of taking up heart surgery. Do you have any tips for me?"
The story is probably apocryphal, but it displays a real asymmetry between two expert practices. The surgeon knows that his skills are specialized and that they're difficult to acquire, but he doesn't think that the historian's skills are anything like that. He assumes that writing history is pretty straightforward and that being a 21st-century surgeon gives you a leg up in documenting and interpreting, for example, theories of fever in the 17th century. Yet not every kind of technical expertise stands in this relation with the telling of its history. Modern installation artists don't think they can produce adequate scholarly studies of Dutch Golden Age paintings, and it's hard to find offensive linemen parading their competence in the writing the history of rugby.
Mr. Weinberg reckons that the history of science is far too important to be left to the historians, and "To Explain the World" is the kind of thing that might tempt academic historians to lose their cool. They'd remind him that the great thinkers of 17th-century science commonly considered themselves to be reforming natural knowledge to be Christianity's handmaid. Figures like Newton and Boyle discerned divine purpose throughout nature, and not, as Mr. Weinberg implies, just because they were taking an unfortunate detour from properly scientific behavior. What counts as "natural" and what as "super-natural" turns out to be historically variable. Historians might insist that "science" is not a self-evidently stable category: the practices called "natural philosophy," "mathematics," and "natural history," for example, were thought to be very different types of knowledge, while the notion of "science" in the past simply designated some idea of systematic knowledge.
The historians might also thump the table, insisting that searching for anticipations and foreshadowings is both wrong and illogical—"ahistorical" as they'd say. They'd wonder that a history written by a working scientist should be so little concerned with the messy day-to-day practices of getting experiments to succeed, getting calculations right, and persuading others of their truth and accuracy. They'd express bemusement at Mr. Weinberg's insistence that science advances by rejecting teleology, even as he depicts its history as a triumphal progress from dark past to bright present.
Table-thumping isn't interesting—whoever does it. Mr. Weinberg identifies his account as a personal view, and there's no reason why people shouldn't want to know how an eminent modern scientist (and public intellectual) thinks about all sorts of things. What is interesting is that these different stories about the historical development of science persist, with no prospect that professional historians of science will ever own their subject as, say, art historians own the history of art. Science remains almost unique in that respect. It's modernity's reality-defining enterprise, a pattern of proper knowledge and of right thinking, in the same way that—though Mr. Weinberg will hate the allusion—Christian religion once defined what the world was like and what proper knowledge should be. The same circumstance that gives science its immense modern cultural prestige also ensures that there will be an audience for its idealization and celebration. "To Explain the World" is for that audience.

In an era where increasingly affordable technology innovations are helping small businesses compete on a nearly level playing field with large enterprises, the business owners who will be most successful will be those who can accurately predict the future in their industry and develop a vision of their place in that future. However, with both technology and business evolving at an unprecedented pace, it can be challenging to clearly understand not only the trends affecting the business but how to approach them.
At a recent business growth summit held over a week in France, business owners discussed the current and emerging trends that they believe are affecting business. Seven of them have been identified affecting Australian businesses:
Greater workplace flexibility is a given in the age of smartphones and ubiquitous mobile connectivity. Businesses that haven't yet facilitated flexible working options must do so to attract and retain the best talent.
Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and its subset, machine learning, can help organisations gain a competitive edge from their data, whether it comes from systems, people, training, or management. It's time for business owners to recognise data as an asset and leverage it to expand revenue streams and compete more strategically.
While email was an exciting new business tool just 20 years ago, today businesses are seeing a shift away from email and even voice-based communications. Instead, workers expect to use apps and other software to communicate and collaborate. This could fundamentally change the way people interact and relate to each other, which can create management and culture challenges and opportunities.
In a geographically-dispersed country like Australia, travelling between capital cities alone is a lengthy and often expensive venture. However, the increasing speed and declining cost of transportation, such a potential fast rail network, could make travel easier and more cost-effective. This can help businesses reach wider markets more effectively.
Aged care is one of the fastest-growing industries in Australia as the population continues to age. For some businesses, this ageing population can provide opportunities for new revenue streams. Even in businesses not currently related to aged care, it's important to consider what these opportunities could mean.
Currently, not many businesses are even contemplating the use of augmented reality, despite its many applications and use cases. Opportunities exist to apply augmented reality for training and to support engineering-type work. Having an experienced technician or engineer "accompany" a less-experienced team member to work sites via augmented reality can provide cost savings and efficiencies for organisations.
Climate change and the need to reduce carbon emissions are key concerns for younger Australians. This creates an opportunity for businesses to make a difference either through direct investment in clean water and clean air initiatives or by simply managing greater compliance requirements as part of business as usual.
Understanding that these trends exist is just the first step. Business owners then need to think carefully about how these trends affect their business and how to get ahead of the curve to make the most of the opportunities they present. It's only by projecting into the future and thinking strategically about change that a business will be able to withstand the inevitable onslaught of competition and disruption. It is also the only way a business will be able to identify and pursue the biggest opportunities, thus positioning the business for greater success.

In my opinion we don't know that, because we haven't had experience in an environment where people had the same or similar benefits. If you are basing your assertion on some situation where people had the same or similar benefits and didn't take similar leave, I would be interested to read about it, could you provide a source?
If the "same benefits" are a number of months paid time off in the year or so following the birth of a child, I don't think it's silly for men (or adoptive parents, or other partners of women who give birth) to have those benefits even though they don't physically need to heal or breastfeed. The point of these benefits isn't solely to deal with physical issues, it's also to provide early childcare and bond with the new baby. In my opinion, only providing paid time off to women (to the exclusion of men) amplifies the impact of the fact that only women are able to give birth. By allowing for leave to be split between two parents, we would permit women time to heal and breastfeed and bond for a period of time, and then we would also allow the non-birthing parent to have time to bond and provide childcare as well. As a result, we would probably see people of all genders taking similar amounts of time off to care for children, and accordingly the stigma associated with being a child-bearing aged woman (which is that you will need or want to take leave while your male counterpart will not) would be significantly reduced.
This is an interesting conversation starter and I've also wondered whether we should broach the topic of same-sex couples / nonbinary couples in this thread. I think that until now our conversation has been restricted to opposite-sex couples because we have more personal experience with that scenario (and because that scenario makes it easy to draw comparisons between men and women, which is what we were originally discussing), but I agree that it's important to recognize that lots of families aren't made up of opposite-sex parents. There was an excellent article in the Globe and Mail recently (it was originally printed in February, and then reprinted this week) about the experience of a male reporter who stayed at home for the first part of his daughter's life while his husband continued to work. It's available here and I would recommend giving it a read. Ultimately I think the things that many people are advocating for in this thread would seriously benefit same-sex couples - the idea is that it shouldn't matter whether you're the parent giving birth or not, all parents should get parental leave. So that applies even more strongly with male same-sex couples where both parents would traditionally not have very robust parental leave rights, and equally to female same-sex couples where traditionally only the delivering partner would have robust rights (and also to adoptive parents in the same way). In addition, he describes the revelations he has while participating in a parenting ritual that is often only experienced by women, and he describes how taking leave gives him so much more insight and appreciation for parenting. I think that allowing men to participate in early childcare more would allow them to have similar experiences. Regarding the comparison to single-parent families - that's a tougher nut to crack. Certainly in terms of male single parents, extending parental leave rights to men would provide a benefit that we don't presently have. In the case of single moms - I'm not really sure what employers could do to be more supportive, aside from providing salary top-up for a longer period. At some point I do think it's important to recognize the line between things we can change and things we can't change. We are able to have a positive impact on female career progression/male parenting/associate retention/family cohesiveness by providing equal leave opportunities to non-delivering parents, thus (partly) balancing the burden of child rearing between men and women (or delivering and non-delivering parents). Conversely, I can't think of anything we can do to make single parenting and dual parenting carry a similar burden. Regarding the comparison to younger parents - yes, I think there's quite a body of research that supports the idea that providing low-cost childcare propels young and otherwise socioeconomically disadvantaged women to pursue career opportunities that they otherwise wouldn't pursue. (see for example some of the stats cited in this slightly dated Star article - it was the first hit I got on google, and while it's not a real research article someone could rely on, I think that with some effort we could find actual research articles saying the same thing). That said, I think the topic of universal childcare hasn't been raised in this thread because although it's an important topic, it doesn't apply more to lawyers than the general population, and we were originally focusing on specific things in legal private practice that make it more difficult for women to advance than men. In that vein I still think the low hanging fruit is providing the same parental leave benefits to all parents.
You're saying that women's decisions are negatively impacting their careers. I'm saying that the decisions aren't just being made by women, they're being made by couples, but only women are bearing the career-related burden. That's the difference. No, we agree that women are negatively impacted by the fact that women take parental leave more often and for longer periods than men. You're coming under fire because whether you intend it or not, the way that you've presented your opinion leaves the impression that you feel women could choose differently and have a different outcome. In reality it's not that simple.
I'm sorry but I don't agree with your premise. To rephrase what I was trying to say in my previous post to you - men don't really have a true option to take significant parental leave from private practice, because (a) they wouldn't be compensated for taking that leave; and (b) they might be ostracized or otherwise limited upon return from a lengthy unpaid leave. As a result of the fact that men aren't able to take prolonged parental leave, when a male-female couple have a child and jointly decide that a parent should stay at home with that child for more than a few weeks (and I think we can all agree that most parents in our profession make that decision), the necessary implication is that the female partner will take extended leave to make that happen. So it's not that women and men are making different decisions - the two opposite sex parents are making the same decision, namely that a parent should stay at home for an extended period, and they don't have a realistic next choice to make, because only the female partner has the ability to stay at home. The way that you are framing your point is coming across as out of touch because if we follow your logic through, you're implying that women could (should?) make a different choice, namely returning to work earlier. That ignores the reality that if women made the "choice" to return to work as soon as physically possible (leaving aside the question of what that timeframe would be), then either their (mostly male) partners would have to forego salary and expose themselves to potential career limitations by taking substantial leave, or they wouldn't be able to make the joint decision to have a parent stay home in the first place. Basically your argument is coming across as victim-blaming - you seem to be saying that women are career-disadvantaged because they're making a choice that men aren't making - most of us disagree with that idea because we don't feel that women and men have the same choices to make. Women are (in private practice, anyways) necessarily taking leave as a result of decisions both parents are making together.
I'm sorry that this happened. That type of situation is really frustrating because there often isn't one specific "sexist" event that you can point to and make noise about - it's more of a gradual accumulation of actions (or inaction) over time. I do believe that these kinds of experiences are connected to a non-trivial number of departure decisions on the part of female associates.
I think I messed up my notification settings, so I'm just seeing these updates now. I know that others have addressed your comment generally but I thought I should also take a minute to respond and add my perspective, since you were responding to my post. In addition to the totally valid points that others have raised regarding physical healing, breastfeeding, and practical considerations like childcare, we should think seriously about your implication that women and men are making different "decisions" about taking time off. One of the key ideas in this thread a recognition of the fact that women and men do not have the same options regarding parental leave in private practice. If I (as a female associate) had a child tomorrow, my firm would compensate me for 17 weeks of fully paid leave and would have no issue with my taking 52 weeks of total leave. If my husband worked at the same firm (or any other major Toronto firm like it, to the best of my knowledge), he would be compensated for 4 weeks of fully paid leave and would generally be expected to return to work following that 4 week leave. Perhaps if he pushed, he would be able to take further unpaid leave, but it wouldn't be the norm for a male associate to take additional unpaid time off in my workplace. On the other hand, a full year of leave (17 weeks paid and the balance only receiving EI) would be the default/assumed trajectory for a female associate. So when you say that they made different decisions (the implication being that they could have made the same decision, in which case they would have had the same result) - I don't really think that's a fair reading of the situation. In my opinion the relevant decision was to have a child, and the way that they progress through the system following that decision is different because of a host of factors that are not really within control of the parents (those factors being biological, societal, workplace-related, compensation-related, etc.). Conversely, as Erinl2 mentioned, there are some workplaces now offering benefits for the male parent to also take substantial leave, and I think those workplaces will see greater numbers of women advancing as a result (and happier families and employees generally, because as leafs_law has mentioned, this isn't just a "women's issue" - men want and deserve to have an opportunity to participate in parental leave programs too).
[portion only quoted] I held this view for a long time, but have changed my position over time. I think the key here, from my (current) perspective, is that if only women take leave when people have children, then it seems unfair to say that they should be held back post-leave, because it means that child-having women will always be behind child-having men (notwithstanding that they made the same decision, namely to have a child). If leave were allocated to men as it is to women, I would have less of an issue with this line of thinking. [portion only quoted] I think this is becoming far more common. Different firms call it different things, but one of the pushes that I'm seeing in the last year is towards the idea of a reduced hour target or counsel-like roles for those who want them. I think those programs are great but there are a few key things that can hinder their success, including (a) it's very secretive how much of a pay cut you would need to take to reduce your hours, so people are afraid that they'll ask and then the pay will be too low but their supervisors will already know that they don't want to work a 100% FTE; (b) firms are nervous about how resources like support, office space, etc. will work under these models, and employees are afraid that they'll take a pay cut but end up doing the same amount of work; and (c) people would rather avoid having this conversation about reducing hours and seeming like a "failure", so they just change jobs to go somewhere with fewer hour-related expectations instead. On account of (a) and (c), I tend to see these reduced-hour/reduced-comp models working best to attract laterals who are skilled but would otherwise not be in private practice (i.e. sometimes, stealing people back from in-house and government positions).
Hi! Thanks so much!! I know, time flies. It's really nice that so many people I remember are still here! I don't mind coming back for a serious topic, and it's also given me the chance to browse through a few fun threads which brought back good memories. No offence taken at all on the "are you sure" suggestion - totally valid and of course I will never be sure. I feel pretty confident, but then again, I have the benefit of other interactions with the person in question, body language and tone during the conversation, etc. which you guys don't have. More importantly, whether or not it was meant as I took it, the experience provided a springboard for this discussion about some of the difficult and important issues that our industry faces. I think overall this has been a pretty constructive discussion and I hope it continues so that we can keep bouncing ideas and views off of each other. I would never get to have the kinds of conversations (and frankly, challenges to my point of view) that I've had in this thread in real life, and I think it's healthy and productive to have those conversations. So I really appreciate everyone participating
Again, I disagree with your characterization of what I've said, and I think it's dishonest to take something moderate that I say and make it seem like I've made an extreme statement. I am not saying that men and women are identical or that there must be strictly equal numbers of men and women at every level. I would like to see similar rates of both genders making these decisions, and I believe that if the opportunities and expectations for mothers and fathers were the same, we wouldn't see the starkly different patterns that we see today. I have no idea, and I would suggest that you are also unlikely to have any idea, what exactly would happen in terms of the ratio of women vs. men in private practice - would women represent 45, 50, or 55% of senior lawyers at big firms? We don't know because we have never experienced a system that gave them the same choices. What I do know is that based on this 2016 study, only 9.3% of women lawyers in Ontario were private practice partners, compared with 22.3% of men. I do not believe that more than double the number of men want to become partners as compared with women due to biological differences. I think the social, financial, and career implications that women vs. men face are different and I would suggest that they are the main cause of this discrepancy. In particular, I feel you have significantly mischaracterized my position in your last paragraph. I have not at all focused on strict equality but rather have suggested that there are subtle and overt gender-based differences in how lawyers are treated, both generally and in relation to the parental leave they take (and I've suggested that is a problem). I am not trying to "enforce [my] ideal gender roles on the population", but do the exact opposite - call for an end to some of the differential treatment based on gender that I have observed, i.e. call for an end to the enforcement of certain gender roles on the population. If you believe in giving men and women equal opportunity and choice, then that's all I'm trying to say, and hopefully we can agree that's not currently the world we live in. Edit - my post crossed with Slightly Obsessed's post, which says the same thing I'm trying to say.
I disagree with your characterization of what I said and I have no problem with women (or men, for that matter) choosing to exit private practice because of a desire to spend more time with their families. If people have different opportunities and choose to take one avenue over another, that's great. The fact is that firms are losing skilled women post-leave at a rate that is higher than would be desirable for those firms, and the loss of those women leads to people making assumptions about how future groups of women will perform post-leave. My personal opinion is that ideally we would see women and men leaving at similar rates post-leave on account of wanting to spend more time with their families (I think that would be evidence of a system in which people made decisions based on having similar choices), but that is not what we see in practice. We also know that women often face significant obstacles to reintegrating after they take parental leave. It's not unreasonable to connect those obstacles to the fact that women are leaving and try to address them. If you are saying that mothers are biologically determined to exit private practice at a rate that is higher than fathers, I disagree. I think the way that firms (and more broadly, society) treat parental leave, reintegration, and gender differences in relation to parenting is causing the imbalance.
I wish men would be *more* vocal about the importance of men taking parental leave! I think that's a really important part of the conversation and probably a key part of getting anything done about it. Thanks for bringing it up and I would encourage you to make those views as public as you're comfortable making them.
I find your post a little confusing but I think I mostly agree with you, and if I'm understanding correctly, there's no need to apologize for what you're saying. It seems like you're saying that men are penalized more for taking parental leave than women. I 100% agree and I think it's why women take leave more often and for longer periods than men (which leads to expectations and assumptions that are negative for the career progression of women). The way that we currently do things is bad for women AND it's bad for men. We should call on firms to do better and move towards compensating people equally for parental leave. It's the only way I can see to fixing this issue. I also haven't seen a lot of overt gender-based discrimination, it's more subtle (and probably unconscious a decent amount of the time). That doesn't mean it's not a problem.
I think the point is that there is nothing objective to suggest that the associate in question won't ultimately progress to equity partnership - so although the list of qualities I provided isn't an exhaustive list of things required for equity partnership (instead, it's a list of things that are generally required for income partnership, which is the next step), this person should be considered "on track" for the stage they're currently at in their career, if equity partnership is the long term goal. The argument that you and others are making is like saying that a law student with an A average applying to OCIs is doing the "bare minimum" to become an equity partner - not really, they are not currently meeting the requirements to become an equity partner, but that's fine for their stage. They are otherwise doing the things that would be expected of someone at their stage who wanted equity partnership long term. To suggest to them that they're not cut out for equity partnership is not based on the objective data available.
This discussion started because I shared a situation that I witnessed personally where it was suggested that someone was not cut out to stay at a firm long term (or potentially not desirous of staying at a firm long term), notwithstanding that if you looked at all objective measures for that person's stage of career, those measures would suggest that person was on track to stay long term. I think the arguments that are being made about what is and isn't required for equity partnership in Toronto are (a) irrelevant, and (b) not informed based on the market we're discussing. Associates aren't expected to display behaviours required for equity partnership because they're not eligible to become equity partners.

Still one of the best T7S stories out there! Really honest and heartbreaking. You captured so well the feelings after a breakup and the emotions that come with remembering a relationship. It'd be lovely if you ever wrote another T7S story, even if it's been years. :)
| MistyMountainHop chapter 1 . 8/25/2011
This is a beautiful, wonderfully insightful story. I absolutely love it.
Those small moments between Hyde and Jackie (e.g., them watching *The Sound of Music* together, Hyde making Jackie breakfast*) are the leaves of a very tall tree whose roots stretch deep into the ground. You illustrated this truth perfectly.
I was right there with both characters throughout, feeling what they felt, the loss and the love. And even though this story ends sadly, there's an undercurrent of hope that Jackie and Hyde's love for each other may eventually lead them back to each other.
| Woodrokiro chapter 1 . 7/8/2010
This was... Beautiful. Seriously, not only did you nail Jackie and Hyde's characters perfectly, but your writing and structure and situations were just gorgeous and heart-wrenching and guh. I'm speechless right now. The tidbits I especially liked was the unicorn passage and the breakfast with salsa one. These were so personal, so intimate that they practically made my heart break.
I cannot say it enough, but fantastic, fantastic job.
| some blue december chapter 1 . 4/12/2010
You have no idea how excited I was to see this fic hidden in the depths of the 63 stories you've posted, lol. You haven't written anything for my fandom of choice, but I seriously love how many of my slightly less loved fandoms you have written for.
It's born of my belief that these two are meant for each other and won't ever be happy with anyone else, but don't expect resolution. - That's from your A/N, lol, but I completely agree therefore had to quote it.
He knows that when she gets fed up with Donna's ungirly ways, she will line up all of her toy bears and dogs and unicorns and ask their advice on what color to paint her toenails (he likes it when they're red; it's sexy) or what outfit to wear today (he likes that cream thing that leaves her shoulders bare—makes it easier to kiss them—though he thinks she looks damn hot in anything) or whether her mom still loves her (he hates Pam more than just about anybody, because he more than suspects that she doesn't). - I love this. It's so completely Jackie and so completely Hyde.
There was no real bite in his words, not even that little bit of an edge that he has always let creep into his words when he mocks Kelso or Foreman or Fez. If anyone really, really knew him (and she's the only one who ever really has), they would know that, for him, the way he teased her about the stuffed animals was almost affectionate. He would never admit it, and she never brought it up, and now it's over, anyway, and she hears that in his voice when he teases. - I think that's what I hated most about everything that went down after Sam. Not only did Hyde screw up, but he turned into a complete jackass and basically right away.
... and she and Donna aren't as close as they used to be, and now she doesn't even have an inconsiderate Zen master to ramble on to.
He knows that she wishes, most of the time, that she was still a little girl. - That's sad. I always felt bad for Jackie in season eight. Nothing was really going right for her.
She knows when he says "Whatever," what he really means is, "Yeah, me, too." - Perfect.
She told him, and he didn't say anything for a long time. Then he slid his arm around her and said, "Bastard." Somehow that made her feel better. - Aw.
He didn't look over his shoulder at her, but his reply, gruff as it was, made her feel warm all over. "Well, somebody has to take care of you." - That is unbelievably sweet.
I love how you switched from numbers to roman numerals, it was a really nice touch.
| D R O W N-I N-S E Q U I N S chapter 1 . 10/16/2009
I don't think I've ever been as pissed off at a show as I was when that whore Sam came into the show and ruined any chance of Hyde and Jackie. One of the best things about them, one of the things that you captured so very beautifully in here, is the fact that they're so very much alike.
I love how you capture their... souls (for lack of a less cliche word) in this. It was beautiful and poetic and raw and real. It was perfect and I truly enjoyed this, even though it broke me heart.
Great job! :)
| beaglelover719 chapter 1 . 8/13/2009
Wow. This is one of the saddest things I've ever read. I had tears streaming down my face by the end. This was just so beautifully written. So poignant, so sad. It seemed very true to me, the way I saw Jackie and Hyde, and the reasons the two of them were drawn to one another. It broke my little shipper heart that they ruined the two of them like they did, especially when they acted like the prior two seasons never happened.
| Jubilee3 chapter 1 . 1/28/2009
Beautiful and achy.

| Willofthewisp chapter 1 . 9/14/2008
Oh my word, tears are swelling up in my eyes. How heart-breaking. I love how you've arranged this. These little vignettes are probably thoughts that run through both their minds day in and day out when they're together in the basement, but they're both too terrified of being hurt again to say them. The little details you put in, the backstories of the events that shaped their personalities...all of it is magnificent. It's a masterpiece, really, how you took characters that were already three-dimensional and gave them even more. I felt like I could reach out and give them both a hug and then push them together when I read your fic. And kudos, btw, for mentioning the never-mentioned but so-obvious fact that the two of them are just like Red and Kitty, their parental figures. Maybe, just maybe there is a glimmer of hope at the end of this story.
| Starlight77 chapter 1 . 8/15/2008
Absolutely amazing voices and characterizations for Jackie and Hyde.
Thanks for this. I enjoyed it immensely. Amazing insights into what they know about each other and I love how it came full circle with the line about the secrets repeated in the beginning and then the end.

A flexible printed circuit (FPC) connector is used to connect to circuits together in a device or unit that flexes in a small or confined manner that does not otherwise allow a socketed connection. Often times these connectors are made from a brittle plastic that is not rated for many connects and disconnects, as such they can fail with normal installations. This service is to repair or replace a damaged FPC connector on any device.Read More
The most common use of the micro coax connector is using 2 or more anchor-points which are typically grounded in the circuit then a center pin also known as the "hot wire" is what carries the signal and is mounted to a center point and runs either to other points on the board and/or through a via to connect to another layer.Read More

Throwback Thursday: All About the Bass
No matter the genre of music, the bass line acts as the literal heart of a song. From classical symphonies to heavy metal, and from complex to simple, bass lines are essential to the movement of music. But what happens when the bass takes front and center? Check out some of the best bass lines in K-Pop below and find out for yourself.
In 2014, BIGBANG's G-DRAGON and TAEYANG teamed up to release the ultimate banger, "GOOD BOY." A staple for any club's playlist, this track is filled with some of the best bass drops and build-ups in K-Pop. Despite its simplicity, the bass line in "GOOD BOY" pulses from start to finish in a way that leaves you feeling just a little filthy.
" 같은 애 (A Girl Like Me)" - gugudan
gugudan's "같은 애 (A Girl Like Me)" from 2017 is an upbeat pop track that features one of the most surprising bass lines from a girl group. Whereas the bass in "GOOD BOY" makes things a little grittier with its half-time tempo, the double-time beat in "A Girl Like Me" keeps the song fast-paced and at maximum energy. Though the bass never quite drops and there's much less of a build, the bass line works wonders for Sally and Mina's lead-in to the final chorus.
"Sugar Free (BigRoom Ver.)" - T-ARA
In 2014, super group T-ARA released an EDM version of their hit "Sugar Free" that quite literally begs to be played at raves. Though the original version of the song already had everything from a popping bass line to an epic drop straight out of every DJ's dream, the girls took things even further when they released the "BigRoom" version of the track. Where the original "Sugar Free" keeps things comparatively light and poppy, the remix amps up the bass and gives the song an underground EDM feel.
"Trick or Treat" - Grace
K-Rapper Grace quite literally graced listeners with one of the most bass-heavy tracks in Korean popular music with 2016's "Trick or Treat." The bone-rattling pulse starts from the first beat and is undoubtedly the focus of the song. With the official music video originally released around Halloween, Grace posted a dance performance version a week later that went viral thanks to the choreography that perfectly complements the bass line.

Good Truck
By Ryan on Monday, March 26, 2018Ford needs to have a way to have options you want and not have to buy a package. I understand Ford wants you to buy a certain package but I wanted a touch start with keyless entry on a Lariat and you have to get the ultimate Package to get that. I did not want the moon roof so that was not a option for me. I will say I wanted the silver they offered but its hard to find what you want unless you want a fully loaded truck at 73,000.00. Really did not want to spend that much for just a few other options. I have now had the truck for about 7 month and it has been a great truck. Finish on the truck was not what I was expecting but after a few trips to the dealership they have worked out most of the kinks. I had a 2015 F150 before this and it was a great truck and fully loaded with the twin panel roof and all. Over all a great turck, just a few things I wish they would change.

Best truck I've ever owned
By Dan on Friday, August 09, 2019I own the Platinum, diesel edition. The only regret I have about this truck is the price I paid. I'm actually a little embarrassed to tell people how much I paid. Is the truck worth the price? It is! But it's still a lot of money. This truck has everything. I've had it for a little over a year, and I'm still discovering new features on this truck. The best thing about this truck is the power. I thought my 2008 F-250 diesel was fast and powerful. That truck can not hold a candle to the new one. When you put your foot into it it's like getting shot off the end of an aircraft carrier! I was pulling a 28+ foot travel trailer last year on vacation. You could scarcely tell it was there. The weight of the trailer (about 7,800 lbs. unloaded) was not noticed. The only effect the trailer had on performance was the gas mileage went down to about 11 mpg, compared to 18+ when not pulling a trailer. This truck is really a beast! I love it!

Expensive but inline with the competition.
By Steve on Monday, April 22, 2019The Ford Super Duty trucks are gorgeous, well made,feature-laden and very powerful. Ford often sets the bar for innovation and power but GM and Dodge leap frog quickly. All of the "big three" trucks are expensive and powerful but their styling really boils down to personal taste. However, Ford is the only manufacturer supplying its own diesel engines & transmissions for their products. I think that says A LOT about the company. I'll admit that my Platinum spec F250 has some cheap interior materials shared with the base models, which contrast with the other premium materials with my package, but it's not bad enough to really whine about. When it comes to the reliability and performance I've personally experienced, I can't say enough good things about my truck. Hauling, towing, exhaust braking, maneuverability, power and economy, tech features, etc., I have zero complaints. There are a few features I have found annoying or pointless, such as Lane keeping alert and auto high-beams, but I had the ability to deactivate them. If there were one feature I'd wish to have though, it would be the step bumper GMC offers, in conjunction with the "Man-Step" in the tailgate my truck has. To have both available would be ideal, yet I'm sure each company has patents on their designs so I'm not expecting that anytime soon.
