"Fretted" mosaic stitch wristwarmers/fingerless gloves
Knitting: Completed Projects
on: November 19, 2007 09:17:11 PM
I'm never sure if I'm supposed to call these wristwarmers or fingerless gloves, but I like how they keep my hands nice and warm without keeping me from getting bus fare out of my pockets! Either way, they were also super easy to knit yet look really complicated. I finished one in just a couple hours while watching a movie. The pattern is fretted mosaic from Barbara Walker's 2nd Treasury of patterns. Each one is more or less a square, six repeats wide and six repeats long of the mosaic stitch pattern. It's a great stash-buster, I probably used only half a skein of each color. The yarn weights don't even match: the green is light worsted and the navy blue is sport weight. Mosaic stitch is so forgiving in that regard. Plus it's nice and stiff, which is perfect for gloves. I just stitched up the sides and left about 1.5 inches for a thumb hole. Easy peasy!

Knitty's monkey socks
Knitting: Completed Projects
on: November 19, 2007 09:11:25 PM
These Monkey socks were a lot of fun. I couldn't seem to put them down! The lace was easy enough to memorize but interesting enough to keep me from getting bored. No second sock syndrome here: after finishing the first sock I immediately cast on for the second one. I used Knit Picks bare yarn in merino/nylon that I dyed with some Jacquard acid dyes. The white bits are places where the string tied around the yarn in the dye bath was a wee bit too tight. I was kicking myself when I pulled it out of the dye, but I actually like how it looks knitted up. I love the soft, subtle variation in color you get from kettle dyeing yarn.

I finally got around to knitting the I-cord ties (I hate knitting I-cord) so here are some "action" shots. The color is more accurate in this pics too.

Lots of fun dyeing silk with jacquard acid dyes
Dyeing: Completed Projects
on: October 30, 2007 09:57:03 PM
Over the weekend, I made my apartment (and halfway down the hallway of my building) smell like vinegar. I had a lot of fun dyeing all the great stuff I bought from Dharma Trading Company. I tie dyed a couple silk satin pillowcases and a square silk scarf (which is very wrinkled because I wore it in my hair yesterday). I'm really happy with how they turned out. It makes me wonder why more people don't use tie dye for more subtle designs. Come on, hippies, reel it in a little!
I also dyed a large silk/wool pashmina-size scarf in a really pretty blue-green. The slight color variation throughout it reminds me of the ocean. I think I'll be wearing this a LOT this winter.

Elann's petal shawl
Knitting: Completed Projects
on: October 30, 2007 09:54:20 PM
Last week I finished up my petal shawl. I realized I was going to run out of yarn before finished the last repeat of the lace pattern, so I left it off and modified the fishtail border as needed. I also added two extra repeats of the lace pattern when casting on: so it's shorter and wider/fuller than the original pattern. It's more like a capelet than a shawl. I like it a lot, though I need to add a couple ties to keep it from slipping off my shoulders. I used a fingering weight alpaca that I had dyed with Jacquard acid dyes.

TINY anatomically correct heart, sushi, and felted purse with embroidery
Felting: Completed Projects
on: July 27, 2007 09:00:25 PM
I recently took part in the geek pride swap. (See the gallery here:
) I thought I'd post a few more details about how I made my felted projects here.
A super tiny anatomically correct heart pendant. I needle felted this out of several different shades of red that I hand dyed. The arteries were wet felted into "logs" and then attached by jabbing the ends repeatedly with needles to get them attached deep into the structure of the heart. Then I used a small dab of glue on the ends so that I could achieve a blunt end. I stabbed it with a bead pin so it could be used as a pendant. I'm particularly proud of this (see the quarter for scale?).
I needle felted the sushi pincushion with corriedale and merino roving. I even added some stripes of fat to the fish with a different color of roving this time around.
This purse is pretty small but was by far the most difficult thing for me. I hand dyed some corriedale roving with Jacquard acid dyes. It was my first time making fabric with wet felting techniques. In the end, I used a combination of wet and needle felting to firm everything up nicely. The strap is a forest green velvet ribbon. I designed the embroidered fern motif myself. The square bottom was created by sewing straight across the bottom and then folding the corners inside and sewing perpendicular to the bottom seam.

Rebecca bolero, mosaic armwarmers and Knitty womb
Knitting: Completed Projects
on: July 27, 2007 08:51:54 PM
I recently took part in the geek pride swap, so I thought I'd share a few more details about some of the projects I made. The gallery for the swap is here:
Here are the knitted projects I made (I also made some felted projects).
A surprisingly simple set of armwarmers. The only shaping is from switching needles about halfway down. I used a mosaic stitch pattern for that complicated looking color work. It was very simple to do and gave the fabric a nubby texture and firmness that worked well for armwarmers. I used less than one ball of each color for the set--just some merino blends that I had lying around in my stash. I want to make some for myself now!
Of course the famous Knitty womb in hot pink! A very quick knit.
Even though this looks like a bra, it's actually a bolero. The pattern is in Rebecca #31. The pattern calls for 200g of cotton yarn, but I managed to knit it with 150g of wool yarn. The yardage per skein was slightly more for the wool than the cotton, but with only three balls available in my stash, I was worried about running out of yarn. It was close, but I had enough. The pattern is quite easy and only took me a few days to finish. The construction is really interesting to knit and wear. I'm not generally a fan of shrugs but I might make one for myself.

The Swap Gallery

Sin esperanza got my package today so she gave me the OK to post some photos of what I made. (Finally! It's so hard keeping all this crafty stuff secret.)
First, a bright pink knitted uterus doll that I made using the pattern from Knitty.
Here's a needle felted sushi pin cushion. It was fun getting the fat marbling to turn out right.
This was by far the project that took me the longest. It's a small felted purse that I made using a combination of needle and wet felting using some roving I dyed myself. Then I embroidered a fern on the front and sewed on a velvet handle. I'm not much of a seamstress, so it was a tough one for me but I'm really happy with how it turned out.
Then I made a lace shrug using a Rebecca pattern. It has a really interesting construction, but it's hard to photograph--it kind of looks like a bra. I'm hoping we can get an action shot!
Then I knit some simply constructed armwarmers with a complicated looking mosaic stitch (Barbara Walker was a goddess!) I need to make some of these for myself, they were so fun.
This is my smallest needlefelted project to date. It's an anatomically correct heart pendant. Sorry for the flash, but I wanted to include a quarter for scale. I hope she can find a chain that suits it.
Then here is a decoupaged pen case that has "Apostrophe Protection Society" stenciled on the front. It's funny that this turned out to be the only project that blatantly flaunts its geekiness.

My first crochet wearable/time following a pattern (corset belt)
Projects from The Happy Hooker by Debbie Stoller
on: June 12, 2007 11:30:16 AM
I'm an avid knitter who just started picking up the hooks. This is my first time following a crochet pattern (they are kind of intimidating). I'm glad I took the plunge though, I love how this turned out. It only took me two days and one skein of Malabrigo which, by the way, is totally gorgeous and lovely to work with. I actually finished it last week but have been struggling unsuccessfully to find something in my closet that it actually looks good with. Sigh. So I may not get as much use out of it as I like. But I think it's really beautiful. Now I'm all amped up to start on some of the other patterns in that book!

papier mache display head
Selling Crafts on Etsy.com
on: May 30, 2007 06:04:14 PM
I just set my etsy shop up last week...I'm planning on selling a lot of fiber stuff (knit/crochet/felted)--especially felted dread falls. I've looked at what is currently available on etsy and know I can do better. (As an aside, if any of you have a suggestion for what colors, lengths etc would sell best, I'd love to hear it.) I made my first pair a few days ago and couldn't find anything to model them on..I didn't want to put them in my own hair because-ew!--I wouldn't want to buy anything for the hair that had been previously worn. So I ended up taping them onto my boyfriend's TIE-fighter helmet. I was totally amused by the incongruous pairing, but the helmet is BIG. And it makes my falls look tiny.
So today I made a papier mache head to use for etsy photos. I used a big jelly tub and a blown up condom as the armature. I had a few spare condoms around the house and didn't want to buy balloons. My boyfriend was very confused when he saw the wrapper in the trash.
I'm pretty happy with it--but was wondering if you think it should be painted. I like it as is (once it dries of course) since it looks plain and should provide a more or less neutral background to display my wares. My boyfriend thinks I should paint it one solid color so potential buyers can see the colors of the falls on a solid background. I think painting it is just going to draw attention to the rough surface of the head--and away from the falls. Plus I would need to choose a realistic skin color (but which race?) or an unrealistic one (nobody can relate to purple skin).... What do you think?

Single Moms

Okay so I here I go I need a little advice on what to do and how to go about it all.
I'm the single mother of two boys, their dad has split custody of them with me being the primary parent. He only pays $400 in child support at the moment which I was granted $784. We agreed that he would pay $400 through military allotment until the divorce was finalized and it went through child support and the court. We are now offically divorced and waiting on child support to get everything done, but he is currantly deployed at the moment so I don't know if that will affect anything at all. We also agreed on $400 cause I didn't want to argue with him over the amount, he said he wouldn't be able to support himself or pay off the credit cards, trailblazer, or the furniture we went out and got. So I settled with $400, well after he deployed he messaged me and told me that he was going to go out and buy himself a BRAND NEW truck when he gets back from deployment his excuse for doing this is the trailblazer is to small for him, I find that not a good enough excuse.
So I have decided to take him to court when he gets home. I have thought about it and the way I see it is if he can afford a brand new truck he should be able to afford my child support for the boys. I have also decided to go and take full custody of the boys, the reason for this is that he hardly ever sees them when he is home and he only lives 6 hours away. My oldest is scared to death of him, will not talk to him on cam, won't go with him or anything etc. He had only seen them for a whole 4 hours the whole two weeks he was home in October. We had split the end of June and he deployed in November. He does not try calling them from over seas when he gets a chance nor does he hardly ask about them at all. I haven't heard from him in about two weeks and at this moment they are not busy over there yet. I know this cause of friends that have husbands deployed with him.
So my question on this is whats the best way of going about this? The best way of finding an attorney fairly cheap cause at the moment I don't have a bunch of money just laying around.
Okay now a couple more questions for you ladies.
If you was a stay at home mommy when you became a single mommy, how did you go about finding a job? How did you go about finding housing? I'm applying for HUD on the 9th and hopefully that works out, I'm also considering going back to school in February to work on my GED then go to college after I obtain my GED.
Sorry its so long and thanks in advance.
I would definitly try and get your GED, jobs are hard out there as it is. Maybe try and find a part time night shift at home customer service job to help out with cost of living. Go online and find resources that can help you as a single mother there is a lot out their.
About your ex husband, I agree if he can purchase a new truck he can afford to pay some more money to help support his kids. Don't force your kids to want to see him, being on deployment he should want to hear from his kids when he gets back and while he's away atleast once a week if possible. I would save the messages and explain to the courts he doesn't make any efforts to see his children nor ask for them so you want to fight for full custody.
Hi and welcome to the group.
If he's military all that money you're entitled too should have been a wage garnishment and not coming directly from him. Please for the life of not only for yourself but your children as well, do not ever rely on a military man giving you what he thinks he should give you. Get all of what you are entitled too.
To answer the question, I lived with family at the time when I was out looking for a job. Also after landing a fulltime perm job, went out and looked for an apt I could afford at the time.
I agree with the others, i you are struggling financially (and by needing public assistance, you definitely are), then HE needs to be paying the full amount. AND pay the back support. The courts will likely force him to pay back support if you ask, even if you originally had a verbal agreement with him for the lesser amount. They can garnish his wages. There is no reason why he should be driving a new sparkly truck while you have to live in HUD housing with his kids.
As for the custody issue, that may not be as easy- unless your son is willing to tell the judge that he is scared. But I bet that if you quit pursuing contact, your ex will likely not initiate any. -
I don't have advice because I haven't gone through a divorce but I have been newly single. Not sure what state you are in but use every public service that you can. Seek out a women's group for newly single moms. Getting an education is the first step and when you get your GED you can get a college grant that you won't have to pay back. Sometimes Ywca's have programs to help with daycare and I highly suggest seeking an advocate. Your ex sounds very immature and you sound better than he does. Good luck!!!
Well you could just try going to family court and submitting a change of custody , unless your ex fights you this should be a smooth process, it may take time depending on how backed up your court system is. As for the child support if the court already determined that he should pay $748 a month for your children it's just a matter of asking them to enforce it. If for whatever reason you agreed on paper to child support only being $400 you will need to submit another form to have child support amount to be changed, go down to your court house you should be able to speak with the clerk and they will provide you with the paperwork, this should save you money with the attorney, but if you feel your ex will fight you may want to consider getting an attorney.Best of luck to you, I think it's great you are trying to get your GED, if you can afford to stay at home with them while you go to school that would probably be ideal so you can focus on your studies.
BCSE is who you need to contact they are free to you and will automatically track his pay and make adjustments if his pay changes it is definitely the best with him being in the military because they can't pay him under the table etc. BCSE sets up everything and does all the court stuff you just have to contact them

An Unhappy Prince.
Wilhelm Friedrich Franz Joseph Christian Olaf, Prince of Prussia, as a lieutenant of the Heer 1st Infantry Division, 1938. Prince Wihelm was the eldest son of the German Crown Prince Wilhelm ("Little Willi"), and therefore second in line to the Royal and Imperial throne of the Hohenzollerns. That throne was abdicated by the Kaiser (under duress) in 1918, but the old man continued to harbour hopes of a restoration of the German Monarchy. Prince Wilhelm, however, stepped decisively out of the line of succession in 1933 when he renounced his right to the throne in order to marry a member of the minor German nobility, a match of which his grandfather, in particular, disapproved (making comments to the effect that a "thoroughbred" Hohenzollern's marriage to this lesser class of "horse" could produce only "mongrels".).
Unlike some of his close relatives, Prince Wilhelm does not seem to have taken any definite position for or against the Nazis. He did, however, elect to march with his regment when war came (unlike most young men in his position, he would have had the choice). Prince Wilhelm of Prussia, Oberleutnant, 1 Inf. Div., was mortally wounded in action near Valenciennes, France, 23 May, 1940, on which date his division was involved in fierce fighting with French forces. He died of his wounds in a military hospital at Nivelles on 26 May, on which date his death was officially recorded. Best regards, JR.

I made a couple of bigger pots again today after finishing up all the slipping and glazing of porcelain. Ryan Olsen has been helping harvest some of the wood that came down in the heavy snows...I'm planning a firing in a year or more using all the pine and cedar branches that have come down. Everything is sodden and we spent a little time getting the Jeep and trailer unstuck from the mud.
I made a really tall one (over 30") but it got away from me and drifted off its axis. I had to put it out of its misery.
It's been a while since I've included a photo of Ellie...she loves her pink...and purple!
I made this planter in England last summer for my dear friend Jill Rushbrooke but never got to see it fired. It's a beauty if I do say so myself. It sits next to a sweet old Winchcombe redware pot. Thanks to Will Hall for the photo.It's been a while since I've included a photo of Ellie...she loves her pink...and purple!

please let me know if I need to repost my above question ( If not clearly posted).. :)
Student or Learner
The single-family house constructed by the Yana, a Native American people who lived in what is now northern Calrifornia, was conical in shape, its framework of poles overlaid with slabs of bark, either cedar or pine, and (banked with dirt to a height of) three to four feet.
banked with dirt to a height of
was banked with dirt as high as
Can you please explain why the answer is A? I choose B because was concial and was banked are parellel. Is there any wrong with my interpretation of parallelism in structure? Also the sentence seems to be too complex
its framework of poles overlaid with slabs of bark, either cedar or pine, --- Is this part an Absolute phrase?? or is it causing a run on?? I am sure it is not a run on sentence as the source can be trusted.
please let me know if I need to repost my above question ( If not clearly posted).. :)
I agree that many of these exam questions are quite complex. They obviously don't want to make it too easy for you!
"The house was conical in shape and banked with dirt to a height of three to four feet." Can you see why you don't need another "was" here? The same principle (apparently) applies in the longer sentence.
Yes, the part in bold is an absolute clause.
thanks Raymott:)
so was and banked are parallel, correct?
also, is there any wrong in the predicate 'was banked with dirt as high as '?
I guess, I understood this sentence somewhat but need your help to clarify totally. Please explain,
No, "was conical" and "was banked" are parallel. I'm saying parallelism isn't necessary here.
You can say "I am sick and tired". You don't have to say "I am sick and I am tired". The example above uses the first form.
"The house was conical ... and banked...".
Yes, technically "with dirt as high as three to four feet" is wrong. This gives further support to A.
If the dirt is somewhere between 3 and 4 ft high, it's "as high as four feet" or "to a height of three to four feet".

Tego Calderon made us wait a long time for his last album, The Underdog/El
Subestimado. But this time? Fuacata—He's hitting us with El
Abayarde Contra-Ataca just a year after his last LP dropped—at the same
time he appears in John Singleton's new movie Illegal
Tender. We caught up to the new, workaholic Tego as he ran around a video

Bathroom talk is often socially taboo, unless you have a toddler in the house, but at the Amherst, Mass., home of Rich and Flo Newman, the first thing we do when I arrive for a visit is head straight for the bathroom.
On the way various collections and artifacts are strategically set up: assorted vintage instruments hanging at unique angles from the ceiling; figurines from the Addams Family have their own wooden doll houses in the kitchen. Also in the kitchen, a bear garbage can is built in to the counter. And a headless mannequin wearing a white dress is near the stairs, but before I can ask about it, we arrive at our destination. Flo points to the sink.
"This [is made out of ] a piano we found at the Amherst dump," she says. "We reused the wood."
Slate blackboards from a school where Flo used to teach were used for the side boards. She points to the shower door and says nonchalantly, "These are Volkswagen windows."
Rich is a carpenter. To some extent so is Flo. Their house is filled with unique construction, much of it from recycled material. They are also part time musicians, and as apparent as could be, they were also at one point antique collectors. Until one day, they said to each other, enough.
"Collecting [was] over the top," says Flo.
"Everything had value," Rich added. "You found yourself going in to someone's house and turning over their china, and that was kind of creepy. And we thought, we don't really want to look at it that way, so we thought what could we collect that has no value?"
Toilet paper.
Valueless unless you really need it, it was an idea whose time had come, sparked by friends heading off to Europe.
"One of our friends was going to Germany and Denmark," Flo says. "She said what can we bring you back? And i said, how about some toilet paper from Germany?"
And so began Rich and Flo's toilet paper collection, which has also resulted in an online museum of toilet paper. Flo says she never dreamed it would get this big. It went viral, years before Facebook, thanks to a network of friends, family, and a revolving door of tenants who rent rooms from the Newmans and who work in various industries, including film and music.
What began as a joke three decades ago is now 1500 sheets of international, single and double ply, mostly autographed, toilet paper. And to Flo's delight, much of it from musicians. She pulls out a a piece autographed by Joan Jett.
"It says 'To Flo, rock til you drop.' "
She shows me another from Leon Russell. There are autographed sheets from the Talking Heads, John Sebastian, Dar Williams, Melissa Ethridge, Laurie Anderson. There is the known, the unknown, also the non musical. Someone who knew someone who traveled to the South Pole brought back a sheet from Antarctica. Actress Lily Tomlin signed two sheets. Woody Allen wrote on his sheet, "Why this?"
Among the toilet paper filled boxes and envelopes stashed around the dining room, Flo pulls out one framed sheet of TP –it's from the home of illustrator and writer Edward Gorey, a real coup for Flo who loves the Addams' family. Flo says she heard an artist friend was about to visit Gorey and she said to her, "Get me something from his house! So she asked to use the bathroom."
Other great gets, Barbara Walters signed a piece, Harrison Ford, wrote a note — "To two good [bathroom expletive]!"
"That was really good because, says Flo, "because it's actually signed by him, from his bathroom."
Toilet paper accessories are also coming in, welcome or not. Miniature toilets that light up and sing. Toilet paper lip gloss. And someone recently brought back from Japan a gummy poop, a piece of candy that looks like, well, poop.
Flo and Rich love the stories that come with every sheet. She says toilet paper is allowing people to connect, and have a good time.
"I think it's like a social service in a way, in a weird way, because people never have the opportunity to talk about toilet paper and bathroom issues. I mean they have some," but she says they just can't wait to tell them the stories behind the get.
Even with so much toilet paper already in the house, still unsorted, Flo and Rich are not done collecting. Not by a long shot. One of the challenges ahead, if anyone wants to take them up on it: Bob Dylan. Flo says nobody seems to be able to get him, though everybody's tried. Then she takes out her wish list, written on a regular piece of paper. It's filled with musicians — Joe Walsh, Ringo Starr, Chrissie Hynde, Paul Simon Joan Armatrading. And then she adds, the Dalai Lama.
"A friend got close to [getting something from the Dalai Lama]," but Flo adds, haltingly, "he didn't want to disturb the moment."
The friend brought them back toilet paper from the monastery instead.
I ask if they have a favorite piece. It's a tough call. Rich says it's like asking who their favorite child is. And then Flo says decisively: "Robert Plant."
But it's not just the musician, it's how it happened and what he wrote. One of the Newman's housemates was working at a record company. Plant came in, and she went up and asked him to sign some toilet paper.
"He wrote…. [the word] , " Flo starts to sing the opening vocals of Led Zepplin's Immigrant Song, which is not actually a word but a sort of open throated siren yell.
[That's ] 'a-r-a-r-a-r," she says. Rich adds, "[The letters] ascending and descending."
(You, dear reader, can hear this by listening to the piece!)
And then I ask them if they ever run out of toilet paper at home. Flo laughs. She says yes. Rich corrects her, "No. We run low." And when I ask them if they've ever been forced to use toilet paper that's been sent to them?
Rich says quickly "No. never!"
Flo then says confessionally, "Actually… " And Rich suddenly seems to remember and agrees.
The truth of the matter: sometimes an enthusiastic contributor will send an entire roll of toilet paper. Flo says they preserve the part of the roll that's signed and then, she admits, she has used the rest of the roll.
I get ready to say goodbye. I haven't seen even seen one-tenth of the collection. As I leave, I glance back over my shoulder at that headless mannequin. Turns out, she's dressed in what is actually a hand made toilet paper wedding gown. Flo wore it, at least once.

The Christopher Dawson Society for Philosophy and Culture was formally incorporated in Perth, Western Australia in 2013. It is a not-for-profit association named in honour of Christopher Dawson the great English historian of the 20th century who throughout his work saw the world of spiritual belief "as the dynamic element in history and as a real world-transforming power." Drawing inspiration from the thought of Christopher Dawson, the Society was founded to promote cultural and philosophic activities that recognise the spiritual, as well as the material, element in our nature and in society more broadly. It is hoped that in this way the Dawson Society may uphold and continue the work of its namesake.

West Bromwich Albion now have a Birmingham derby against Aston Villa, then Arsenal away and Bolton to look forward to. Portsmouth and Birmingham only added to the pressure with excellent results yesterday. Last year's miracle escapologists now seem to be slipping inexorably towards oblivion, after Robbie Fowler, now Liverpool's record goalscorer, and Djibril Cissé capitalised on defensive errors.
Robson tried to pretend that other teams' results are irrelevant, trotting out the cliché that, "It doesn't matter what other teams do". But he admitted that the players knew about the other results before the game and said: "We looked nervous from the kick-off - we were absolutely hopeless and had no conviction in the first half. If you play like that, you're going to get beat."
Too true. Though Cissé looked clearly offside when he crossed for Fowler to tap in the first goal on six minutes, he was nevertheless the beneficiary of poor defending by Paul Robinson. The left-back clean missed Xabi Alonso's long through-ball, allowing Cissé to run on and cross for Fowler to break Kenny Dalglish's scoring record with his 173rd Liverpool goal.
"It wasn't a defensive error because he was offside," claimed Robson, though the goal was typical of the way long balls from the Liverpool midfield proved too much for the Baggies defence.
With Liverpool dominating across the pitch, it was only a matter of time before the away team increased their lead and they did so on 37 minutes. Alonso was just outside his own box when he launched the ball hopefully forward. The woeful West Bromwich defence let it fall to Cissé, who kneed the ball around Tomasz Kuszczak and shot in from 10 yards to ensure half-time boos from the home fans.
Zoltan Gera came on for Diomansy Kamara at half-time and immediately made an impact. The Albion favourite, who has just returned from a long-term groin injury, had three impressive shots - a spectacular scissors-kick from Robinson's cross went straight at Jose Reina, after a delicate lob had just missed the post and the Liverpool keeper had saved a stinging volley.
It was a brave second-half performance from the home side, but Liverpool always looked like a team who have not lost at this ground since April 1982. The home side should have had a penalty, though, when the referee, Uriah Rennie, waved play on after Momo Sissoko looked to have clearly handled in the box in the dying minutes.
Their manager, Rafael Benitez, was just disappointed that they did not get a third goal. "We should have finished the game but it was difficult in the second half," he said. "They pushed up and put us under pressure, but we could have played easier balls. But I'm pleased."
The Liverpool manager congratulated Fowler on his record, but would not be drawn on whether he would offer him a new contract. "I'd like to see a few more of those in the future," he said. "We will decide on his future in a few weeks."

"Murphy was an optimist!"
What do programmers do? November 15, 2007 2:52 pm
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life, Programming, TechnologyWord problems! Programmers solve word problems.
My challenge is that I have sales people with base locations. Their territory allows them to sell a handful of products but each product can be sold a certain distance from their base location. Product A is eligible to be sold within 10 miles of base location product b 30 miles and so forth with product f being nationwide.
I have to create an interface which allows the end user to say "I'm here and want product ___" and then I show them all the qualified sales people who can get that product to them.
The program should also read the user's mind so that the dropdown of regions will only show regions that sales people can actually get products to. The mind reading has to happen since product f is nationwide all regions should always be listed…well…unless the user wants product a….
That's programming!

Aw c'mon, that is nothing more than a couple of Inner Joins if the database is normalized properly.
What a programmer does is tries to get this information out of the client, BEFORE he starts creating the database or coding. Now THERE is a challenge.
- 3. Doug McCaughan - November 16, 2007
SELECT Information
FROM theclientshead
WHERE dateofcoding < dateclientquitschangingmind AND dateofdatabasedesign < dateclientquitschangingmind Impossible! - 4. tim - November 16, 2007
that is why i ALWAYS put int my terms and conditions when pricing a job that any changes tot he details will cost more!
they change their minds – i charge them - 5. JayMonster - November 17, 2007
tim, either you have some really easy clients, or I have all the worst ones.
Sure, those Terms are always spelled out in my Statement of Work, but somehow, those "changes" are considered what I should have done (apparently through magical powers to know what they "meant") in the first place.
You also forgot
"and TimeCustomerIsWillingToPayFor < TimeActuallyRequired"
- 6. tim - November 17, 2007
no i have the same clients who cant make up their minds and then change them back again after you reworked all the code!
– but i have THE FORMULA
i work out what i think its going to cost me to deliver it and then i double it – and then i add 10% for documentation and 20% for testing and then 10% on all that for a contingency – thats what i quote them – so when u get one who keeps changing their mind (if they knew what they wanted in the first place at all) first of all i tell them how much more thats going to be, and i absorb the stuff i cant tell them that for because i should have know better! at least then i don't go broke on the job because i have enough contingency built inand i font take hospital jobs – or if i do i increase my asking rate to try and tell them to go away – if they are still willing to pay then i got enough money to make it just worthwhile and i may build a future client as well. on the way i may even educate them and then i can give them a "discount" and they like me even more.

Whirlpool Dishwasher not draining
Model Number: DU890swlt Brand: Whirlpool Age: 1 - 5 years
Whirlpool dishwasher not draining. Here's what I confirmed: 1. No air gap 2. Pump motor runs, pump is working in wash cycle, plenty of pressure. 3. No solenoids 4. Check valve removed and cleaned...no problems 5. Drain valve open, no restrictions in drain line 6. Inside of dishwasher is clean 7. The timer is stopping the pump and reversing direction at the proper drain time in the cycle The only conclusion that I can come up with is that when the motor reverses to drain the basin the impellor is not pumping any water out of the drain hose...I mean not a drop of water is being pumped. This tells me that the drain pump is defective. Am I missing something? If it is the pump, should I order the pump and impeller only, or should I order the entire pump-motor assembly? Is it difficult to change out the motor and install it on a new pump assembly? How do I remove the pump? I did not see any obvious bolts holding it in place...I assume I also need to order a new seal...Am I missing anything? Thanks! Related Models |

Here are your parts
Replacement parts for DU890swlt models | AppliancePartsPros.com Here is a manual https://secured.whirlpool.com/Servic...LE/4322430.pdf Soil settler (Page 6 in the manual)? Have you tried disconnecting the drain hose at the house plumbing and draining it into a pail? If not you may want to do this just to be 100% sure that the house drain is OK. Hold the drain line securely in the pail and put a towel over it so water does not splash all over. You say the motor runs in the drain direction so it is probably OK. I would take the motor pump apart before ordering anything. Does not make sense that the impeller would pump in wash yet slip in the drain direction but then stranger things have happened.
Thanks for your reply...
Yes, I removed the drain hose from the garbage disposal and pump and it was clear, no restriction in the hose or in the disposal. I know the motor is reversing, because I watched it go through the cycle...it did stop and reverse...Also, the sound of the water in the dishwasher changes significantly...When in wash mode it is very loud; you can hear and feel the water shooting up inside...when in drain mode there is no water entering the inside, it quieter, but not a drop of water is exiting into the drain hose... I agree, I am having difficulty understanding why the pump is not pumping any water out when in reverse, but seems to pump fine when washing... The only thing I can think of is that the drain outlet from the pump, where the diaphram is, is plugged solid... If that's the case I need to disassemble the pump to clear out the debris from that diaphragm... Your thoughts? Thanks again! |

Prices are testing resistance at 10170, marked by the intersection of a rising channel top set from mid-September and the 76.4% Fibonacci expansion. A break higher exposes the 100% level at 10248. Near-term trend line support is at 10086. A reversal below that aims for the 38.2% Fib retracement at 10066.

Biologists use the term "neoteny" to describe the retention of juvenile characteristics in an organism's adult form. Humans exhibit neoteny in many of the morphological features that distinguish us from our primate cousins: our big heads, big brains, small jaws, thin skulls, small teeth, and lack of body hair.
Thinking back the other day on my recent visit to Google, it occurred to me that the place is a hotbed of neoteny. There are toys and playrooms everywhere, and beds for taking naps. On every floor there are little snack-bars decorated in various happy themes. Working hours are unstructured. Everybody eats together, and nobody pays for food. Everybody's dressed in T-shirts, jeans, and sneakers, and they even push themselves around the building on little scooters.
Once I got to thinking about it, I realized our whole culture has become more and more neotenous. If you look at photos and movies from the mid-twentieth century, it's striking how grown-up everybody seemed — the men in their suits and hats, the women in their smart dresses. Children knew their place, and adults had serious work to do. Grown-ups smoked, and drank, and ate grown-up food. When they went out at night, they dressed up. They learned penmanship in school, and wrote letters. Popular music was written by people like Cole Porter and Duke Ellington, and the songs had witty, printable lyrics. Tough men vied for beautiful women.
And today? Comic books as literature. "Business casual." Ill-mannered children in expensive restaurants. Britney Spears. Kanye West. Grown men wearing little safety helmets to ride their bicycles to work. Unfettered impulsiveness as regards almost everything. An infantilizing obsession, in all aspects of public life, with never hurting anyone's feelings. Unisex everything, just like in kindergarten.
It's cultural neoteny.
To illustrate the point, I have prepared (with apologies to Fran Lebowitz) a helpful chart.

The Trudeau government has received assurances that Canadian passport holders will not be caught up in an American travel ban that has barred citizens of seven countries from entering the United States. An email from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's office late Saturday said the U.S. has given assurances that Canadians with dual citizenship will not […]
For almost a decade Roberto Minczuk has been recognized as an important and prominent member of Calgary's community in his role as conductor and musical director of the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra. By most, that is, with the notable exception of the Canadian government.
Anya Sass and Habib Alibrahim were at wits end late last month. The Calgary woman and her Syrian husband had all but given up on Canadian immigration officials approving his permanent residence application; a process they were told would take 24 months.
A Red Deer man has been charged with human smuggling after border officers found a female passenger hidden inside his vehicle at the Carway crossing in southern Alberta last year. The Canada Border Services Agency said its officers made the discovery Oct. 26, 2013 as the man entered the country at the Carway border crossing. The woman had been previously refused entry into Canada, CBSA said.
Ryan de Hoedt's thoughts read like a desperate broken record. From morning until the time he goes to sleep, he recites a single prayer — that his sister will live another day. De Hoedt is a Canadian citizen from Sri Lanka who lives in northeast Calgary.
Visa costs for foreign ski instructors will be a significant burden for Alberta ski resorts adapting to stricter rules for hiring temporary foreign workers, industry members say. Employment Minister Jason Kenney announced tougher rules for temporary foreign workers earlier this year after abuses of the program in the hospitality sector were revealed.
Mayor Naheed Nenshi is ripping both the temporary foreign worker program and the Harper government's changes to it, because he feels a growing Calgary needs more access to working newcomers who can become citizens. The mayor said the "current system strips people of their dignity." But in comments that mirror Alberta government officials' protests that Ottawa's recently announced restrictions on hiring temporary labourers — especially in low-paying jobs — will hurt the city that added a record 38,508 this year.
The federal government still has some heavy lifting to do if it's going to persuade some Canadians that we need to wean ourselves off temporary foreign workers.
Calgary immigration consultants are bracing for changes to the Live-In Caregiver Program (LCP) they warn will hurt working families at a time when child care is hard to find in the city. It's believed the federal government plans to scale back program. Employment Minister Jason Kenney told the National Post's editorial board Tuesday the program has "ran out of control," and would be reformed in the "fairly near future."
After a five-year fight with federal immigration officials, an Alberta man will soon be together with his Filipina wife. Carwin Miltimore had to battle through two appeal tribunals and a federal court hearing because Citizenshipw and Immigration Canada was convinced his marriage to a woman 38 years his junior was a fraud.
Long lines, reduced hours of service, and even closures will be felt across the province due to newly announced changes to Canada's temporary foreign worker program, Alberta business groups said Friday. But the changes — which will put limits on where low-paid foreign hires can work and increase fees for employers — are being billed by federal Employment Minister Jason Kenney as a badly needed overhaul that will ensure temporary foreign workers are brought to Canada only as a "last and limited resort."
At the upscale Bison Restaurant and Terrace in Banff, general manager Bree Braden is feeling anxious heading into the busy summer tourist season. Like many restaurants in the resort town, the Bison struggles to find enough line cooks, dishwashers, and prep hands to run its kitchen. University students from across Canada, transients looking for a slice of mountain life, and Australian kids on working holiday visas have all worked shifts at the Bison over the years and helped to supplement the relatively small local labour force.
Federal Employment Minister Jason Kenney called a new moratorium on the fast-food industry's use of the temporary foreign worker program a "wake-up call" to employers that they should be taking a long, hard look across the country for Canadians to fill vacant jobs.
Employment Minister Jason Kenney is suspending the food services sector's access to the controversial Temporary Foreign Workers Program in the face of widespread criticism.
B.C. workers ranging from seasoned professionals to teenage fast-food employees are complaining about being dumped in favour of non-residents as Ottawa scrutinizes employers who abuse the Temporary Foreign Worker program. Vern Doak is a crane operator with 37 years experience who lives in Vernon. In early March he was contacted by his union, who informed him that an American company, Oregon-based O & S Contracting, had work for him building a cogeneration plant near Mackenzie in north-central B.C.
Police say a Lufthansa plane was diverted after a passenger being deported from Germany threatened the cabin crew with a broken razor blade.
B.C.'s natural resources sector, including the budding liquefied natural gas industry, was declared to be in Canada's strategic interests Monday as part of a non-binding federal-provincial deal that includes a commitment to encourage the active use of the Temporary Foreign Worker program. The accord was signed as Premier Christy Clark, bringing with her what she described as possibly the largest B.C. delegation to Ottawa in Canadian history, declared that the LNG sector could be a "nation-builder" at least as important as Alberta's oil wealth.
CALGARY — A second study in less than a week has concluded that there is no labour shortage in Canada, nor is one expected to arrive in the next few decades. A study published Friday by a University of Lethbridge professor echoes results of a report by the federal government's Parliamentary Budget Office released Tuesday — both conclude there are more than enough workers on a national basis in Canada to fill available jobs.
A Turkish national has admitted unlawfully applying for status as a Syrian refugee under a false name.

I was invited by WIRED to write about Josh Begley's work Prison Map. The article is Aerial Photos Expose the American Prison System's Staggering Scale:
There are some 2.2 million people behind bars in the United States. That's more people than there are in all of New Mexico. And there are more jails and prisons than colleges and universities in this country. Still, it can be difficult to grasp the scale of incarceration in America, in part because so many of these facilities are tucked away far from view in rural areas.
Prison Map provides a sense of the enormity of it all by giving us a fascinating vantage point from which to view the architecture of incarceration. Begley's created a vast visual compendium of the nation's jails and prisons, comprising more than 5,300 aerial images that offer a compelling metaphor for the rapid expansion of the American prison system.
"Prison Map is about visualizing carceral space," says Begley. "We have terms like the 'prison industrial complex' but what does that actually look like? If you were to stitch together all these spaces of exception, how might they appear from above?"
Read more at WIRED.
Christoph Gielen, a photographer known for his aerial views of American suburbs has chosen as his next subject super-maximum security prisons — the most controlled spaces in American prison industrial complex. Supermaxes are of particular interest as they are designed specifically for solitary confinement.
As I wrote for Wired.com, today, America has an unusual thirst for putting people in total lockdown.
In consideration of "the severe mental pain or suffering" it can cause, Juan Mendez, United Nations Special Rapporteur on torture, said that solitary confinement amounts to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. Mendez recommended that prisoners never be confined in solitary for more than 15 days.
However, in US prisons, stints in the hole can be longer. Much longer. The California Department of Corrections self-reports the average stay on an inmate in the Pelican Bay State Prison Secure Housing Unit (SHU) is six-and-a-half-years. Many have been in the SHU for a decade or more. In Louisiana, Herman Wallace and Albert Woodfox of the Angola 3 have been in solitary for over 30 years.
I've also written previously about how images of solitary confinement – despite its widespread use – are difficult to come by.
"The opportunity to visually examine these restricted locations is significant, especially at a time when journalists access is increasingly curtailed," says Gielen.
Gielen noticed concentric patterns of equivalent interest in the Supermax prisons of Arizona whiel working on his suburbs photo series Ciphers.
American Prison Perspectives is a simple and effective presentation of these design forms. Are gated communities and caged facilities are our preferred housing solutions for the late 20th and early 21st centuries?
With 1 in 100 adults behind bars, America incarcerates more people than any other modern society. Of the 2.3 million men, women and children locked up in the U.S., 80,000 prisoners are in solitary. That number includes hundreds of children.
The rapid adoption of solitary by prison authorities as a means to discipline and segregate has led Jeremy Travis, president of John Jay College of Criminal Justice, to call it one of the "greatest social experiments of our time." For some sociologists, the parallels that Gielen drew between housing and prisons go beyond visual similarity. Columbia University's Spatial Information Design Lab goes so far to ask, "Have prisons and jails become the mass housing of our time?"
The debate on solitary confinement is timely. To quote myself, again:
The Illinois campaign spurred Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) to chair the first-ever congressional hearing on solitary confinement last summer. Durbin showed up on Capitol Hill with an actual-size solitary-cell replica.
While for many, the discussion of prisons and segregation can revolve around human rights and legal justice, the issue is particularly relevant today for its economic implications. There was a successful grass-roots campaign to shutdown Illinois' Tamms Correctional Facility, due largely to the fact that it costs more than $60,000 a year to house a prisoner in solitary confinement in Tamms, compared to an average of $22,000 for inmates in other Illinois prisons. The closure is currently stalled — held up in court following opposition from the AFSCME labor union with prison guards in its ranks.
"In America, particularly, the long view is hardly ever considered. Fiscal views are considered for on a yearly basis," says Gielen. "Economically, the widespread use of solitary is unsustainable."
American Prison Perspectives doesn't end with the images. In 2014, Gielen plans launch a website devoted to the series and host a public online forums. Furthermore, Gielen foresees symposia across the U.S. with former prisoners, prison architects, legal experts, activists, correctional officer union-reps and prison administrators, along with firsthand accounts of solitary confinement and the perspectives of mental health experts on the effects of isolation.
American Prison Perspectives will illustrate how prison design and architecture reflect political discourse, economic priorities, cultural sentiments, and social insecurities, and how, in turn, these constructed environments also become statements about a society.
American Prison Perspectives is supported by Blue Earth Alliance, the Fund For Investigative Journalism and Creative Time Reports and others. You too can help spread the potential reach of the work with your own donation.

You all know I'm a big supporter of Alyse Emdur and her six year project Prison Landscapes, so it was great to feature her work on Wired.com.
It's gratifying when my interest in prisons overlap with wider issues of visual culture and with the curiosity of mainstream readers.
The article coincides with Emdur's book Prison Landscapes, published by Four Corners, London is now available. Alyse Emdur is very grateful that Four Corners will donate books to each of the individuals whose portraits feature in the book.

Bryan Formhals has delivered some festive cheer for Raw File and I. Picked as one of his Top 15 Photography Websites of 2010.
We've still a long way to go in terms of consistent output, but Formhals is on the money about working with quality editors. Keith Axline has been a rock.
"Raw File exploded onto my radar when they brought in Pete Brook as a writer. It's a perfect example of how a mainstream magazine can tap into the talent of someone who knows their way around the blogosphere. The posts aren't as frequent as I would prefer, but they're always carefully selected and well written. You can tell Pete is working with good editors who are helping him refine his message. As much as I believe in independent blogs, there's no getting around the fact that great editing elevates content. I'll address this in a future post, but I think you'll see more mainstream publications tapping into the blogosphere to find talented bloggers to run their photography blogs."
Bryan confesses the "link-bait" title to his piece, but his selection is in fact very thoughtful and though out. Each pick is a departure point for discussion on a specific emerging, dying or morphing aspect of photo talk, sharing and criticism on the web. A melange of choices. Check it out.
In the interests of disclosure, I listed Formhals in Raw File's Favourite Photobloggers article.

My friend and colleague Matt Shechmeister at Wired's Raw File just published Life on Lockdown: See-Through Gadgets, DIY Media, No Internet, an article and gallery on idiosyncratic prison technologies.
Matt went to San Quentin Prison with photographer Jon Snyder (@jonsnyder) to tour cells and music studios to report on the see-through typewriters, prison-sanctioned music selections and contracted companies all shaping the security-minded tech-culture at San Quentin.
Not an angle seen or read very often. Well worth checking out.
Over the next few weeks, posts at Prison Photography may thin out a little as I devote a chunk of energies to a new gig at Wired's photography blog, Raw File. For the following reasons, this is an exciting new departure for me:
– I can call on the expertise of a knowledgeable and calm editor (when I pitch ideas, he says "home run" or "leave it alone")
– I can piggyback on the back of some ridiculous stats (I guess that's just Wired for you?!)
– Readers of Raw File have a many more reasons to stop there than they do here (ie, they're not only tangentially interested in prison reform or in the past somehow stumbled upon my photography commentaries) … and they are harsh critics.
So far I've looked at:
– Laura Pannack's recent work and success – Striking Teenage Portraits Boost Young Photog's Career
– The alternatives to the Norsigian/Ansel Adams saga – Troves, Caches and Suitcases: Famous Lost Photographs Discovered
– and a Southern California Rapid Transit Employee of the Month Portrait Archive – Fabulous Bus Driver Photos Show Off Mustaches, Sunglasses
My tweeting activity shall also migrate from @brookpete to @rawfileblog. Please follow and spread the word on this newly-active-stretches-every-morning twitter account.
I spent last week on the phone to Mark Lubell, managing director of Magnum Photos; David Coleman, curator of photography at the Harry Ransom Center; and Eli Reed, photographer, Magnum member and UT professor.
The upshot was The Story Behind the Legendary Magnum Archive Sale, an article over on Wired's Raw File blog.
There's a couple of great quotes, my favourite is this from Coleman, "The boxes are marked with three-initial codes. I haven't quite broken the codes that correspond to all the photographers. Robert Capa is CAR but then also BOB, which is funny. Bob."
It was a story I really wanted to report on because I do think this is an astounding "incentivized" outcome for all involved. Read the article for details.
I do still wonder what will happen in 2015, though?

7Google Invests $280 Million More in Solar Energy, in California's SolarCity
June 14th, 2011 by Zachary Shahan
Google announced today that it is investing $280 million in a rooftop solar power company, California-based SolarCity. Included with the announcement was the short YouTube video above.
Of course, this is just the latest announcement of many demonstrating Google's tremendous investment and belief in truly clean, renewable energy.
Google does a good job (who's surprised) of pointing out quite clearly that while clean energy helps the environment, it just makes good economic and financial sense as well.
SolarCity offers solar leasing, something we've been writing about quite a bit lately. It's clear that solar power more than pays for itself in the long run (in fact, it's probably one of the safest investments for the return on investment you can choose), but for all those intimidated by the upfront costs, solar leasing provides a great alternative that allows you to save money from day one. While you may not save as much over the course of 20-40 years or so, you will be saving money immediately in such a program.
SolarCity covers installation and maintenance over the life of the lease. You can choose to either pay the full amount for the system or sign up for the leasing program. As the graph above shows, the savings over the course of a lease can be quite large. (Nonetheless, Google still expects to make some money on this investment, from the solar lease revenues.)
Google's Rick Needham, Director of Green Business Operations (he's the guy who makes most of their clean energy announcements), writes:
Imagine sitting on your patio watching the sun's rays pass overhead, knowing that they power your home with clean energy—at a cost that's less that what you would have paid using just the grid. That's what my colleague, engineer Michael Flaster, has been doing at his home in Menlo Park, Calif. since March of this year. He did it with the help of a company called SolarCity, which enables homeowners and businesses to begin using solar energy to power their homes and buildings.
Dropping another few hundred million dollars on solar energy, Google is clearly putting its cards on this breakout power source.
Google's $280 million "will give San Mateo, Calif-based SolarCity the funding to build and lease solar power systems to a 7,000 to 9,000 homeowners in the 10 states where it operates," CNN reports. SolarCity already has 15,000 solar projects constructed or being built across the country.

Lenovo will invest $30 million in new Brazil plant, hopes to double its sales
- 0
Chinese IT company Lenovo officially announced that it will invest US$30 million in Brazil to open a manufacturing plant and a distribution center, the Brazilian tech blog Ztop revealed today.
According to the company, these new units will produce desktops and notebooks for Brazil's corporate and consumer markets. More importantly, this is only the first step of what Lenovo describes as a long term strategy to double its sales in Brazil, which is now the world's third largest PC market.
Ever been to a tech festival?
TNW Conference won best European Event 2016 for our festival vibe. See what's in store for 2017.
As Ztop points out, the numbers Lenovo disclosed are quite impressive; according to Lenovo Brasil's press release, "the new installations will occupy 325,000 square meters, and according to the planning, will start operating by December 2012."
Both centers will be located in the small city of Itu, in the state of São Paulo, where this investment will create new jobs; Lenovo expects that 700 employees will have joined these two units when they reach their full production capacity at some point over the next two years.
This announcement doesn't come as a surprise; a couple months ago, the Wall Street Journal reported Lenovo was keen to acquire local companies, while "evaluating a plan to set up a manufacturing base in Brazil so that it can produce PCs locally and avoid high import tariffs."
At the time, the WSJ noted that Lenovo was only the 9th largest player in Latin America, with a market share of only 3.6% in March and no profits. In this context, the company sees room for growth in this attractive market – and it is now ready to do what it takes.
As Lenovo's president of Asia-Pacific and Latin America, Milko Van Duijl then acknowledged, Lenovo can't be competitive in Brazil without a local manufacturing base. As you may know, the country heavily taxes imported electronics while offering incentives to companies that decide to manufacture locally.
As a result, the Taiwanese giant Foxconn operates several plants in Brazil, where it has reportedly started to produce iPhones and iPads. As for Microsoft, it announced last September that it would start manufacturing Xbox 360 consoles in Manaus and reduce its local prices.

Moving On
Okay y'all, sorry for the public meltdown the other day.
I probably shouldn't have posted all of that but I received a bunch
of emails and comments that were incredibly helpful!
I'm grateful for blogs and the way they bring people together
no matter how far apart you really are.
And I'm particularly thankful for this little circle I run in online.
The women of the craft world are so amazing!
I have spent the last several days cleaning out my pantry, fridge, and makeup bag.
A lot of stuff had to go!
But I'm ready for the change and moving forward :-)
Onto more fun things, I have been playing with this pattern.
I took 5 million pictures!!
But I just couldn't get that "WOW" shot.
So you'll just have to take my word for it.....
This quilt is sooooo cute!
It's for my dear friend, Becky, who just had a baby.
She has this very urban cool style so I couldn't just make her the average baby quilt.
And the white binding is so impractical!
But no one ever accused Becky of being practical :-)
I really wanted to give her something special since she has had many
heartbreak's in getting her family here.
I hope she likes it!

I second that! It looks wow from here too! Great job! I just won this pattern too and can't wait to use it... when my list of things to do gets a little more manageable I think! So sorry to hear about your allergies! I am glad they were able to figure out what was causing your eye problems, I can't imagine losing my eyesight! Good luck with all the changes, it sounds like you got quite a few good alternatives to try!

Realizing I Know Nothing
Maybe "Parent Blogger" would work?
I read a post this morning on Boston.com by Erica Noonan discussing a double standard when it came to mommy and daddy blogs. You can find it here. It is a few days old, which is the equivalence of a decade in this new world of instant information, but still relevant.
The post is more of a question than an opinion — which is clearly stated at the end "Is there a double-standard about what dads can get away with saying about pregnancy, labor and parenting? Are women criticized too much for what they write and say?" Within the post, Ms. Noonan also describes how mommy bloggers are derided as being nothing more than corporate lap dog and sell outs while daddy bloggers are the next coming of John O'Hara.
In their defense, if they wanted free products, they (mommy bloggers) could just as easily sign up for one of the many survey sites out there and take no flak (so why be a mommy blogger and take the flak unless it is for more than that). I did it when I was in college to get free stuff and a few extra bucks. Personally, I don't want free products related to TheDaddyBlogger.com. My purpose in writing is morphing (reviews, thoughts..etc.) — but came mostly from the fact that my wife and I disagreed on some of the products we use with our son and I couldn't find many male opinions out there. I simply want to provide (yet) another POV.
I disagree with my wife on a few…a bunch…well nearly all things, but I have found that our disagreements tend to drive the best results – why? – because we are forced to talk out the issue (for no other reason than to prove the other wrong, but reason aside, it works).
Anyway, my answer would be this: Having a child…er…well…watching my wife bear our son and coming out of the room as a dad and not just a husband….I learned that perspective is king (or queen, if you will). One moment I am in the crowd of people with torches about to burn the family that brought their screaming bundle of annoyance on to the plane…and the next moment I am looking around for a fire extinguisher and wondering how anyone could hate the essence of perfection. What changed (besides everything…)? My perspective.
This relates to the difference Mommy and Daddy bloggers — both feel slighted; both feel like the eyes of judgment are on them. It is a matter of perspective that can't be overcome. My solution: ignore it. If you like doing what your doing and it isn't harming anybody, then keep on keeping on. At the very least, my son will get to see what I was thinking about as he was growing up — good AND bad — a perspective that our generation only gets by way of reminisced memories seen through the rose colored glasses of a parent.
