Posted Thursday, June 25, 2009
I am in a desperate search for a new nanny and as such could use your guidance. For the first time, we will be employing a live-in nanny. Our home is in the suburbs and has what is called a mother in law's suite. This suite consists of a counter top, small refrigerator, microwave, a 10 x 12 living room, a 9 x 13 bedroom and a large bathroom. The room also has a front closet for coats and a large closet in the bedroom. This area is accessed by one door off of our game room. Once you enter the suite, the bedroom is off to your left and the bathroom is off to your right. Because we have just relocated, we anticipate having a lot of house guests, especially at Christmas. I have several questions regarding the live-In's role and my obligations to her. First, as I am not required to provide such luxurious accommodations, is there any harm from telling her from the start that her accommodations include the bedroom and shared use of the bathroom? Second, if the nanny goes home at Christmas time (something we definitely will be looking for), would there be any problem with allowing some of our relatives to occupy her bedroom? The bedroom is nicely equipped with a lovely bed from Crate & Barrel and ample space for our guests to unpack. Another question I have is we do not require our live-in to work on weekends, how would you advise we facilitate her exit on the weekends? Should we stick to hiring a nanny who lives with family and sell the job as strictly a five day live-in job? If we do allow the nanny to live-in all seven days, there is NO WAY I am paying for her meals on Saturday and Sunday. Is there a gentle way to word this that will not dissuade qualified nannies from applying for our position? Lastly, the game room and this suite overlooks our backyard and pool area and we entertain quite a bit during the summer; I would find it incredibly odd if the nanny was looking out on us & our guests. Ideally we would prefer the nanny to keep the window treatments closed. Do you think that is a lot to ask? We are furnishing her a lovely, modern bedroom with great amenities including a flat screened television, DVD player, satellite television and a jacuzzi style bath tub. My objective here is to find the nanny that will mesh with our family and not encroach on our lifestyle, but also to find the highest caliber of nanny, and a professional nanny at that.

Really?? This can't be real. First off let me address the fact that you are deluded and seem not to know anything about what a nanny should get or should be doing. Maybe you should worry less about her "encroaching," on your lifestyle and more worried that your children are in the best possible hands.
Secondly, are you looking for a live-in or not? There is no such thing as a 5-day a week live in. If I ever had a land lord tell me that I could only live in the APT. that I'm paying rent for, (essentially that is what she is doing if you are paying her less because she gets room and board) for 5 days a week, and find other accomodations, I would tell him to kiss my ass! What, you want her to find a motel on the weekends? How absurd.
I can't even believe you suggested she be ok with someone staying in her room for the holidays, have you lost your mind? A nanny is entitled to a private space (a shared bathroom is ok, although not desireable) Not a space that you regulate.
Can she keep the curtains shut when you are swimming? WTF do you plan to do at the pool that you don't want her to see? She is an employee, and like most nannies will likely become part of your family, you can't cast her away as you see fit or treat her like you own her.
Seriously do all nannies a favor and hire a live-out nanny, that way none of this is a problem, the pay shouldn't be that different anyway.
Employers who hire live-ins think they are offering so much, doing the nanny a favor, GET OFF IT!! You're not. Do you forget you have access to her 24/7, if there is an emergency or you need to do something last minute, she is there. You don't usually have to worry about her being late, and sadly employers think it is ok to come home late every night because the nanny lives there anyway.
So believe me, you aren't doing anyone any favors with your 'Luxurious" room and your flat screen TV. If anything lady, your encroaching on the nannies lifestyle! - Jun 25, 2009, 3:01:00 AM
Wow...for someone who cares for your most precious possessions, your child(ren), I would expect you could bend and twist things just a little better in her favor. Sounds like a lavish jail cell....or a dream job, w/a hefty price tag.
This is a perfect illustration of how people view their nannies, as only "hired help". While I appreciate your honesty (REALLY), the way you phrase your concerns sounds so pathetic that I pity the woman who works for you, I mean...c'mon...making her close her window treatments? What damage can one do if she sees you and your friends out in the pool? Do you guys really look that bad in your bathing suits?
Please re-think how you will treat your future nanny before you hire one. She is a HUMAN BEING, she has feelings and if you really want her gone on X-mas, make sure you state that to her in her contract. Not everyone has family that they can go see, or even want to see for that matter, so do not expect her to take a vacation. However, a better idea if you would like her gone for X-mas is for you to send her and a friend to Paris...or Hawaii....for the week so you can enjoy your family w/out the hired help eating some of your fruitcake on a (GASP).....Saturday or Sunday. - Jun 25, 2009, 3:36:00 AM
Um. You are insane.
Don't get a nanny. Get someone else to take custody of your children and you go check into a facility somewhere.
Looking at your guests in the pool? Really?? - Jun 25, 2009, 3:42:00 AM
Thank God you decided to ask these questions instead of just jumping into the hiring of your nanny...
You are going to get a TON of crap for this post...but I'll go ahead and try to answer your questions...mostly because I think you need a healthy dose of reality.
Firstly: I am assuming you are a working professional? Running with this assumption, imagine that you are taking a pay cut in order to live at the office. Maybe housing is something you need, maybe the perks make it worth it...but imagine that your boss lives there as well, and your work is CONSTANT. You don't even get your own bathroom.
How does that sound?
A live-in nanny situation can be very mutually beneficial (ESPECIALLY for the FAMILY), and they often work out really well...however you do not sound like you really want a live in.
What are you basing your idea that someone would want to be a live in nanny if they had THEIR OWN family close by that they could live with? THE ONLY way that you could approach this topic with an applicant would be a statement along the lines of "we won't need you on the weekends, so you are free to make other plans to stay other places, or go home for the weekend." You may not demand it. (Though I must say, that if your search for a nanny was restricted to those who want a 5 day live in situation...the nanny world would be a little bit better, because it's likely one would not be in your employ.)
If your nanny does go home for the Holidays, I see nothing wrong with asking her permission to let relatives stay in her room while she is gone. I would say yes if it was me. However, you should not insist that she go home for the holidays. Again, put yourself in the situation. What if she has no where to go? You can't remove her from her home when her living there becomes inconvenient to you. Again, I suggest you seek a live out nanny.
No, you must definitely not, under any circumstances, require that she keep the window treatments closed during the summer. What do you think you are running, a prison? She is not a slave! She should be allowed to see the sun! What do you think she will be standing at the window staring at you and your guests...probably singing a song about longing to be free. - Jun 25, 2009, 3:58:00 AM
(continued because of length)
No, you are not required to provide such "luxurious accommodations" when employing a live in nanny, however, it is standard that if there IS a MIL suite...the whole suite would be the nanny's. It would not be horrible of you to have her share the bathroom...but I would suggest that at least to let it be a shared bathroom from 9am-8pm or something like that, but during the late evening, night, and early evening have the kids (etc.) use a different bathroom?
The language you use in your post turns my stomach a little bit, however if you do "allow" your nanny to live in her room all 7 days of the week her meals should not change. You are not required to provide full meals any day of the week frankly, and this is something you can work out with the nanny. There are many options you could go with... you could offer her two meals a day, and have her fend for herself (with the use of your kitchen, as well as her own little kitchen thing), you can purchase a set amount of food for her every week...you can give her a set amount of money to shop for food every week... etc. But out of all the options, I feel like the worst of the options would be to provide 3 meals a day for her 5 days a week and cut her off for the other two. Maybe 3 meals a day for 5 days a week and then some money for weekend meals so there is no obligation on either side to dine together? Just work it out with your nanny, you may have failed to realize that she will be a human being...but actuality she has a brain and is probably up to the task of some negotiating.
Do not hire a nanny at all if you intend on treating her like she is anything less than a human, like a slave, or like she is anything less than you. You say you want a good nanny...that means she has probably had schooling, she may even have a degree! This is her career choice, and if you want a good nanny you have to treat her well!
Above all be empathetic. Put yourself in her situation. Ask yourself "if I was this nanny, would I like to spend the summer with my blinds shut all the time?" Hopefully that will help you out.
Sorry this is so long... I had a lot to say :). - Jun 25, 2009, 3:59:00 AM
Where will she go on the weekends? If you hire a live-in your home is their home.....duh!
Heaven help us if the nanny looks out the window at your guests!
Do us all a favor and put your kids in a daycare, and seek treatment immediately! - Jun 25, 2009, 6:05:00 AM

You have a cob so far up your ass that you are worried your nanny may LOOK at you on the weekends?

ugh. sheeeeesh. ugh ghaaaaaa.
that is all. :( - Jun 25, 2009, 7:06:00 AM
I think that in all our outrage we're not addressing the (small percentage) of the OPs questions which are reasonable.
My first nanny job was for a family who used my bedroom for family visits and occasionally as the coat room while having a party. This never bothered me, I was perfectly willing to give up my room--especially when I wasn't going to be in it. Why? Because I loved them and I knew that they respected and cared about me. We were like family and that's what family does, compromises and accommodates the others. The OP does not seem, however, to be looking for a nanny to become like a family member, however, so I'm not sure this is going to work out for her.
Secondly, I am currently employed as a 5-day Live-in, so Lindsey, there most certainly is such a thing. But you know what? We get paid more than a Live-out does because of the amount of flexibility we offer the family and the fact that we are paying rent elsewhere. So, OP, you can have that space to use all weekend/holidays long if you like--but be prepared to shell out a minimum of $800/week. Are you prepared to do that?
The window shade thing is just crazy. You can't keep your nanny in a little box and pretend she's not there when she's inconvenient. - Jun 25, 2009, 7:14:00 AM
- ericatomten1 said...
OP--This sounds just awful! You want a live-in nanny but you want her to be gone when she is not needed. You don't sound like a very generous or giving person. And closing the blinds in her room while you and your guests are at the pool?.....shudder!!!
- Jun 25, 2009, 7:29:00 AM
I think your biggest concern should be to find a nanny who has less contempt for your children than you do towards nannies. Seriously, you seem to have some issues about sharing your home with an employee who will be raising your kids. It doesn't sound like a healthy thing for you to do until you get over that.
- Jun 25, 2009, 7:50:00 AM
I think your life will be easier if you do not hire a live-in nanny. If you want your nanny away on week-ends, you should be ready to pay her more because she still has to sleep and feed herself on those days as well.
It does make sense that you would like to have the room for Christmas and family occasions, but you should let her know and ask her if this would be a problem for her.
I am baffled by the pool story, though. You do not want her to watch you and your friends while you are having a party. Why do you think your nanny would derive great pleasure from secretly watching you and your friends, and what do you think she would learn about you that she would not have learned already from living in your house? - Jun 25, 2009, 9:09:00 AM
The lady cracks me up..."Oh, and Nanny, do you mind not eating from Friday at midnight to Monday at 6.00 am?" This one is in for a rude awakening.

It really reminds me of "The Nanny Diaries." haha! "Nanny...would you mind..."
lol - Jun 25, 2009, 9:55:00 AM
Maybe OP is planning to hire someone off the sex offender registry? It's the only way I can understand:
a) how they expect the "nanny" will be okay with these prison-like conditions, and
b) why they are so concerned about the "nanny" looking at them in the pool - Jun 25, 2009, 10:08:00 AM
Why the need for a live-in? Sounds like she isn't really needed/wanted in her "off time." Just let her live out and solve all your issues.
- Jun 25, 2009, 11:01:00 AM
I think the employer is concerned about her guests feeling uncomfortable by a nanny staring at them. I mean some nanny's have no couth. But otherwise, this person is really just trying to establish up front what a whole lot of employers through down on their employees one month in, so I respect that.
- Jun 25, 2009, 11:22:00 AM
ahahaha you want a live-in nanny whom you want to sleep in 5 days a week and won't pay for her meals on Saturday and Sunday??
I'm guessing you're just too cheap to pay the full live-out price.
Live-in nannies are cheaper because they don't have to pay RENT and FOOD. If you make her leave during the weekend and holidays, she would need to rent a place somewhere, wouldn't she?
Live-ins have to put up with a lack of privacy and so on.
You are NOT ready for a live-in nanny. You have no idea what it entails. - Jun 25, 2009, 11:40:00 AM
Just make your nanny a live-out position. Problems solved!
- Jun 25, 2009, 11:47:00 AM
And I thought I had a rough live-in situation!!
OP, I'm going to reply to your post from the viewpoint of a live in nanny, because that is what I currently do. Here we go:
1. No, you're NOT required to provide "luxurious" accommodations, however, if you have the space free, and you refuse to give it to the nanny because she doesn't deserve it, your nanny WILL grow resentful. That is exactly where I am right now- my employer has a basement area that can easily be utilized as a studio apartment but she refuses to let me have that because she feels she already gives me enough in my tiny little bedroom and, yes, shared bathroom. I worked with it for a year, but I'm approaching my 2 year mark and couldn't be more unhappy or resentful. She's seen it in how I act with the children and we're in the process of coming to a "solution" (i.e. I'm moving out or quitting, and she knows this.)
All of that to say- no, not required, but yes, it'll bite you in the ass if you withhold it.
2.First off, why are you expecting your nanny to go home at Christmas time?? What if she doesn't have the money to pay for transportation? If you ARE expecting (sounds like you're requiring actually...) her to go home, then you should definitely be prepared to be giving her that time off as PAID vacation, and offer to vouch for her ticket, because being alone on the holidays is YOUR choice, not hers. Remember, if you're wanting to hire a live-in nanny, the space you're giving her should be treated like her OWN HOME. Whether its a 4x4 room or the entire pool house, that space is HERS and should be treated as such. Therefore, yes, it IS a problem for the relatives to occupy her bedroom at any point in time. The room I currently live in is the only guest bedroom, and my employers deal with it by having their children bunk up together and giving one of the kids room to the guests when they stay over. Your kids can deal with sharing a bedroom for a few days while relatives are in town.
3. Again, this space your giving your nanny is her HOME. Therefore, if she wants to lock herself away for the weekend and watch lifetime movies or just hang around in her room alone, let her. It's her place.
4. Any qualified nanny will see the situation for what it really is, gentle wording or not. There really is no price tag on someone's comfort and happiness. Even if you hire someone who's happy at first, the living situation will eventually wear on them and you'll see it in the way your kids are being cared for, and I'm assuming you want nothing but the best for your children.
5. The window treatments have been beaten to death already. Suffice to say, I agree with everyone else- you can not, in any way shape or form, ask her to close the blinds/curtains. Simple.
If you're not prepared to offer her total privacy, plenty of living space, and the ability to COME and go as she pleases, you should most definitely NOT hire a live-in nanny. Even if it seems to work for the first 3, 6, or even 12 months, don't be deceived- everyone has their breaking point.
Please let us know what you decide to go with. - Jun 25, 2009, 12:25:00 PM
I promise everyone that I know correct English- grammar and spelling included! That last post looks like a butcher went at it with my grammar! It's nearing the end of the week and I just got through some awful finals. Please excuse the dreadful English!
- Jun 25, 2009, 12:27:00 PM
I agree with Momkat. This has to be a live out situation.
If you make your home her home, you have to expect to see her living and lounging about on her hours off, like every other normal person does. Not only can you not ask her to keep her blinds closed, but it would be fairly rude to ask her to stay out of the pool itself when you have guests, unless she is working during those hours. The lack of food available on the weekends is just too awkward to navigate comfortably. The bottom line is that you simply cannot have anybody feel this unwelcome in the place where she lives.
I don't like people underfoot in my house, period, so I understand where you are coming form in wanting your privacy. But you can't have it both ways, because everybody has feelings, not just you. You are not the type of person who is going to be comfortable having anybody in your house during non working hours. Face it and get a live out nanny with specific hours. Your guest suite will be available 24/7 and your kids can pee freely in any bathroom throughout the entire house whenever they want.
Good luck. - Jun 25, 2009, 12:30:00 PM
It does have to be a live-out position because otherwise the nanny-employer agreement would have to read:
1) Nanny's accommodations include the bedroom and shared use of the bathroom.
2) Nanny is required to leave at Christmas time, during which time her bedroom will be occupied by family guests--and the closets, dressers, etc. must be vacated to allow our guests to put their clothing away.
3. Nanny must leave the premises on the weekends, and if nanny decides to stay there is NO WAY we'll provide her with food on Saturdays and Sundays. That is her responsibility.
4. At all times, and especially if we're entertaining at the pool, you MUST keep your window treatments SHUT! We do not want you looking out the window!!!!
5. We require you to accept all of the above stipulations while meshing with our family and NOT encroaching on our lifestyle.
If this is how the agreement would look; I don't think you'll have any takers for the job! - Jun 25, 2009, 1:31:00 PM
Hmm, I'd also like to apologize for the grammar, sentence fragments, etc in my last post. I had actually gotten off the computer to go to bed and then decided that I just HAD to respond to this! Heh

No question this woman shouldn't have a live in nanny. Given her attitude, I don't think a live out nanny will work either. What professional would ever want to put herself in this situation?
Why not just get a babysitter for the hours OP will be out of the house? I have a feeling she's going to be going through a lot of them. - Jun 25, 2009, 2:29:00 PM
Wow :( I feel for who ever walks into that situation. Nannies are people too, they aren't objects to be used at your whim and then 'put away' when no longer needed. What worries me is they are raising their children to think there is a class of people beneath them.

OP, if you are out there, let's have an open discussion about your feelings. I'm sure more posters would be curious to know if our advice has helped. - Jun 25, 2009, 4:16:00 PM
I agree with most of the posters here. Either get a live-out nanny. Or look into daycare. It doesn't seem like a live-in nanny will work for your family.
And why should the nanny be miserable. Are you really that paranoid that she will be watching your guest and family having fun in the backyard, etc???
This is too funny - Jun 25, 2009, 4:38:00 PM
I just wrote a hugely long response and it doesn't seem to be coming up . . . Did you receive this MPP and Jane?
- Jun 25, 2009, 5:00:00 PM
Lady, you are a piece of work. I'm guessing you're one of those annoying nouveau riche people, who came into her money last week and just can't wait to have power and control over another person. Seriously? You want to control whether or not she can open her "window treatments."
You need to learn that your household help are to be cherished and valued. You will find that people who are treated well tend to do their jobs more efficiently and help to create a much more harmonious household. - Jun 25, 2009, 5:11:00 PM
OK, I hate to change the subject on such an interesting thread, but I just got back from the gym, where Oprah Winfrey was on television. I could see that the story was about a child, so I plugged my earphones into that channel and heard the most heartwrenching story from a mom who let her beautiful little two year old sit in a hot car and die while she taught school for 8 hours.
Did anybody else happen to see it? If so, is there sympathy for her at all from any of the people who said on the other thread that they could never see doing this? I felt bad for her...and especially for her husband (whose job it normally was to drop her at daycare, but had a dentist appt. that day, so asked mom to do it)...not nearly as bad as I felt for the poor baby girl, of course...but nevertheless I felt awful for them. The police interview of the mother was hard to watch.
The one thing I will say is that, again, this seems to happen mostly to people who don't typically spend their days with their children. I know not everybody has a choice...but I do still wish that where there is a choice people would choose to center their lives around rising their children...if they choose to have some. It's not mandatory to have children. It's a choice. A serious one. But if they are the center of your life, it is absolutley true that they could not possibly go missing for hours unnoticed. - Jun 25, 2009, 6:22:00 PM
There will be noisy partying guests around the pool right outside my window? How late will this be going on? And no stove in the kitchen, where I must prepare my own meals on the weekends------oh, I should find somewhere else to sleep on the weekends. I have to pack up all my clothes, books, computer etc. so you can use "my" room over Christmas. Can I store them at your house, or do I have to take it all with me?
Job applicant - Jun 25, 2009, 8:00:00 PM
SO you're not going to let her use the kitchenette in the suite and there is "NO WAY" you will feed her on the weekend. So she will be forced to dine out all weekend? What if she doesn't have that kind of money?
How much did you plan on paying this nanny anyway? If you expect her to maintain an apartment to use only 8 or 9 days a month you will have to shell out a pretty penny. You would be better off giving her the whole suite.
You sound cruel and unusual. I have never heard in my life someone afraid of having a person that lives in their house see them in the backyard. That is bizarre.
Perhaps you are having cocaine parties or orgies?
Otherwise you must be expecting the nanny to be a creepy, shadowy figure, staring evilly at your guests like some horror movie. Not the kind of person I would want watching my kids!
Unreal. - Jun 25, 2009, 8:40:00 PM
meet me in a dark alley and ask me those dumb ass questions
- Jun 25, 2009, 8:49:00 PM
I think the situation COULD work IF your nanny had say- a boyfriend that she stayed with on weekends. I would consider the position in that case.
I wouldn't mind keeping the curtains closed during parties, whatever. Also, being that I would only "live" there M-F and not likely to be keeping a lot of my things there (rather at BF house) I wouldn't care what was done with the accommodations when I was on vacation or whatever- as long as I had notice.
I would also expect to be paid as a LIVE OUT as obviously the accommodations are an inconvenience to myself and a convenience to the family. If anything- more than average live out pay. - Jun 25, 2009, 8:50:00 PM

Dear OP,
This is the ad you need to run. Good Luck.
Suburban family ISO 5 day week LI nanny. We need someone who can live in from Sunday at 9 pm - Friday at 6 pm. We will provide a bedroom and shared bath for you to use during your time here. We will also provide 1 - 3 weeks paid leave over Christmas, (in ADDITION to the standard 2 weeks paid vacation and regular paid holidays) so that you can celebrate with your family while we do the same.
Because this position does not include full room and board, we will be offering a premium salary to compensate you for having to maintain 2 living spaces. We recognize the inherent inconvenience to you, and we plan to offer appropriate compensation.
Ultimately, you will be "borrowing" a room and bath from us 5 nights of the week, and we will ask that you keep a minimal amount of personal belongings on the premises, because we will use your room as a guest room with little or no notice.
We also have specific house rules about when you may have your windows uncovered, and we will not allow you to eat anything we have purchased outside your 5 day work time.
If this special situation appeals to you, and you are a high caliber professional nanny willing to live as a guest employee in our home, please contact us with your resume, previous LI experiences, and salary requirements. - Jun 25, 2009, 10:16:00 PM
"The bottom line is that you simply cannot have anybody feel this unwelcome in the place where she lives."
This, exactly.
I hear in the OP's questions, a real concern about being able to maintain privacy with a live-in nanny. I would have that same concern, because I really value privacy. I also would not have a live-in nanny for that reason. When you invite another, non-related adult to live in your home, you necessarily give up some of your privacy. - Jun 25, 2009, 11:08:00 PM
I wouldn't wish this position to my enemies. She/He is looking for a slave; "there is NO WAY I am paying for her meals on Saturday and Sunday"/"keep the window treatments closed". This person is revolting & putrid!

I'll be in DUMBO tomorrow night, if she offers to meet up with you, give me a heads up. I'd like a chance to "answer" her questions too :) - Jun 26, 2009, 12:13:00 AM
OP, you sound like a raving clueless psycho A-hole. I'm so glad you posted-now nannies everywhere will know it's you when they meet you for the interview and you start babbling about how they will be required to keep their curtains closed, etc. I won't bother to answer any of your questions because you clearly wouldn't care about any answers you got. In a nutshell, you'[re either too cheap or too poor to have a nanny (and I don't usually feel this way). Find a good daycare and throw a buck or two to that homeless guy at the bus station for those off-daycare hours when you need someone to watch your kids. At least you know that without a doubt, you look better in your bathing suit than he does.

I would like to hear from the OP as well, but this is not the reaction she was expecting, I assume. She thought we would give her permission to treat her new nanny as a serf, and she is shocked, SHOCKED we didn't agree with her.
What can she say? She has no value for the woman who will be raising her children for most of their waking hours. - Jun 26, 2009, 1:15:00 PM

When I lived in my *HoMe* was where I worked. I did not share my space with others be it a bathroom or living space. I did not share my space with guests who may be visiting.
What you are contemplating is wrong and should be reworked for a better working relationship with your nanny to be. - Jun 26, 2009, 2:28:00 PM
I think the OP is really hoping that EXACTLY the right person will just fall into her hands. Like someone who lives 45 minutes away and still could live with mommy and daddy, but can't make the commute daily. Therefore they would be GLAD to go home on the weekends! and for the holidays. etc.
However even if she does find that person... I don't the the closing of the "window treatments" can be justified. Hah. - Jun 26, 2009, 2:29:00 PM

Michael Jackson was a pervert and a child predator, how dare you lay memory to him here on a blog that lobbies to protect children.
If any Dr does find him/herself in trouble with aiding or causing the death of that freakshow, said person(s) will also find an envelope with a $100 bill in it delivered to their home(s).
I'm sure I'm not the only one.

OP, as you stated that you were seeking " the highest caliber of nanny, and a professional nanny at that."
Here is what a top tier nanny will expect, if she agrees to your conditions.
She will NOT consider this a live in job. She will expect a weekly salary, plus the usual supplement paid for overnights, $100-$150 a night, depending on where you live. She will not consider what you described luxurious accommodations, not even having her own bathroom. She will therefore be taking the position because of the very high salary.
If you truly need a live in, then you will have to adjust your requirements, or settle for less than what you termed "the highest caliber nanny". - Jun 26, 2009, 8:13:00 PM
About Michael Jackson
There were allegations of child abuse. He was never found guilty. He had a trial just like anyone else.
And I just saw a post about Tvs on here. What gives?? - Jun 26, 2009, 8:18:00 PM
Honestly, sometimes you nannies are so snotty. For someone green at being an employee to a live in nanny these are simple and honest questions. Obviously she did not want to come across poorly and went someplace where she could get some insight from others. At least she has tried thinking things through.
Are some of you so insecure in your lives that you can't be supportive, but instead have to continually tear others down and make fun of posters? - Jun 26, 2009, 9:07:00 PM
Not just a nanny,
In this case, I think it is because she was talking about hiring a nanny as if the nanny was less of a person because of her profession. She seems to be of the opinion that there are such things as good nannies... but those good nannies are not as "good" as her, or her family, guests, and friends.
I don't think anyone was really being "snotty". She asked for opinions on the subjects, wanting to know if it was acceptable and she was given a very resounding "NO." - Jun 26, 2009, 9:31:00 PM
Whatever your personal thoughts, I find it distasteful to speak ill of the dead.
(And I seriously have no idea who in particular said what about MJ...so I'm not trying to personally flame anybody.) - Jun 26, 2009, 9:32:00 PM
At the end of the day he was found innocent, no matter what you believe. 12 jurors of his peers found him innocent and because we live in America we go by the mantra INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty and he was not proven guilty therefor we have to rely on our justice system and declare him innocent.
How would you feel if you were accused of a heinous crime and then found INNOCENT and yet people still decided you were guilty?
I am far from a fan of his, in fact I have never heard one of his songs all the way through but we still have to have faith in our justice system. - Jun 26, 2009, 11:26:00 PM
You have never heard a Michael Jackson song all the way through?!?! Bad? Thriller? Did you ever listen to the radio in the eighties? or nineties? I am not trying to start a discussion on the matter...but I find that VERY hard to believe.
- Jun 26, 2009, 11:40:00 PM
Lola I was born in the early 80s and I was raised by a very strict mother in the south, heck I was just a couple of months old when Thriller came out. I was allowed to listen to Christian or Country music and nothing else. Now all I listen to is country, I simply don't like Michael Jackson's music.
I also have a hearing problem and it makes it hard for me to hear words in songs if the music is to loud and I've found that M J's music as well as most music other than country is hard for me to understand. - Jun 27, 2009, 12:32:00 AM

**sticks out tongue*** - Jun 27, 2009, 11:02:00 AM
All I am going to say is that you shouldn't have children OP, and therefore, shouldn't be an employer because you sound like a total bitch who is only concerned about yourself. You remind me of my ex boss from 2 years ago-the psycho crackhead bitch-who treated me like shit. She lost her daycare lisence last year, got it back and lost it again, to possibly be out of the daycare business for good. She demoted me from supervisor within 2 days because she didn't want me to find out the things she was doing that were illegal. Could you want to jail your nanny and treat her like shit to hide the drug habits and other weird things you may have about you?
- Jun 27, 2009, 5:14:00 PM
Oh my gosh, this woman is not the devil.
She may be a little self absorbed...and/or maybe just completely in the dark as to what constitutes an appropriate employer/nanny relationship.
People are getting a little OVER worked up about this, I would say. I absolutley wouldn't want to work under the conditions she presents...but it's not like anything she suggests is actually abusive, dangerous or illegal. Cheap and unwelcoming, perhaps. Evil, no. If somebody takes the job under these circumstances, she will find the living situation irksome and inconvenient, and her employer less than warm. That's all. It will also probably be a short term position for whoever takes it.
Or, maybe OP really did just want some advice about what is appropriate and she will now consider simply hiring a live out nanny and all will be well. - Jun 27, 2009, 10:44:00 PM
I agree with Mom. I don't think the OP is the devil incarnate, but from the tone of her post, she comes across as an inconsiderate and selfish employer. The thing that bothers me about this, from a nanny's prospective, is that how a nanny is treated affects the children. If she is unhappy, no matter how professional she tries to be, she won't be able to be at her best. Secondly, children pick up on the parents attitude toward the nanny. If they don't respect her, neither will the children, and she is the one spending ten hours a day with them, trying to instill good manners, kind behavior, and self discipline. If she is undermined, the family will pay in the long run. I hope I am wrong about the OP, and that she really wants the best for her children.

Has the OP responded yet?
- Jun 28, 2009, 3:08:00 PM
No, she hasn't. But, it's the weekend. Perhaps she's been too busy entertaining guests in her backyard and pool area, overlooked by the lovely and luxurious Crate & Barrel suite with the fancy window treatments and that may or may not be shared between the prospective nanny and the OP's relatives. - Jun 28, 2009, 10:09:00 PM
I agree with EVERYTHING Lindsey said. I couldn't have said it better myself. The other comments that try and justify like..oh if she had a boyfriend she could stay with, it might work out....ahhh NUH. This post was just retarded.

I'm not going to comment on anything else but the windows, what the hell kind of bad judgment do you have that you'd have to add that as a clause to a contract? Seriously. If you're honestly seeking someone that has the welfare of your children in mind, why would you hire someone skeevy enough to just stare out the window at you and your "guests"? Or do you have an extra special pool boy that does a little more than pool care?
Anyone ever watch that episode of Law and Order: SVU with one of the Russian (I think?) nannies that got killed by the mom and had a situation similar to this? - Jul 9, 2009, 9:43:00 AM

To heating-oil dealers concerned about losing customers to low-cost natural gas, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and energy Commissioner Dan Esty have a message: Diversify.
Deliver propane. Do home energy audits. Install and service natural gas systems. In general, be a home energy consultant rather than a single-fuel delivery business.
"We have recommended that they diversify their own business, that they reshape their business model so that they are not overly dependent on selling fuel oil, which we think looks like a tough business over the next decade," said Esty, head of the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.
In October, Esty and Malloy released an energy plan that would make natural gas more widely available, and ever since oil dealers throughout Connecticut have been pushing back with questions about the fuel pricing and state involvement in the energy industry. The plan aims to give 300,000 houses in the state the option of switching to natural gas by expanding availability of the currently low-cost fuel and by making it easier for homeowners to finance new heating equipment.
"They are going to make their own choices," Esty said, referring to the state's more than 600 heating-oil dealers. "But I am confident that the ones that are the industry leaders are already taking that diversification approach."
A number of oil dealers first heeded the diversification message about six years ago when oil and natural gas prices first crossed, and today they continue to search for new sources of revenue. Many dealers started decades ago delivering coal or firewood, then oil and, most recently, propane. State officials say that while they are introducing more choice and competition into the market, they are also supporting more energy-efficiency work for everybody.
Not Just 'Oil' Anymore
Last week — and most every week — six home energy analyst teams from Wesson Energy, an oil dealer based in Waterbury, crisscrossed the region, evaluating how houses use energy and sealing up overly drafty ones.
Wesson replaced the "oil" in its name with "energy" in 1996, and later picked up propane and other energy services. Through a utility-subsidized program called "Home Energy Solutions," crews of two test how homes "breathe," having enough air circulation in the house without being drafty. Often, as a result, the homeowner uses less oil — something a bit counterintuitive for an oil dealer.
"Our overall strategy goal would be to sell a lot more customers a lot fewer gallons," said Craig Snyder, company president.
In their first year of working with the Home Energy Solutions program, three company crews reduced the equivalent of 48,000 gallons of total annual oil use for customers. Wesson makes money directly on the home energy work — a co-pay from residents of around $75 for oil customers, and a contribution from the state energy efficiency fund — and also leaves the company's card, and often quotes, with homeowners when larger projects are needed.
"We want to sell them the oil, the insulation, and over the course of time that's a stronger relationship than to just sell them a lot of oil," Snyder said.
The new energy landscape has challenged many a multi-generational, family-owned small business.
"It's reinventing yourself," said Greg Stafstrom, president of Springbrook Ice & Fuel Services in New Britain.
Adding propane to their list of deliveries means paying for trucks and storage tanks, training staff and setting aside time to retool operations. Many companies expand their payrolls to hire plumbers so they can work on all the mechanical systems in a house.
Snyder said the biggest surprise at Wesson Energy was the amount of time and effort the diversification process took. "The time and the commitment to transition a 90-year-old company with 100 employees in it and to work on that culture through education is a big job," he said.
"The ones that are properly capitalized and already have diversification underway, or will have already diversified, will be fine," said David Daniels at Daniels Energy in Portland.
But for some, the work of breaking into new energy services might be too much. "The small, mom-and-pop organizations that are really the fabric of American business, they might be the ones that may not be able to hang on," Daniels said.
Rapid Transition
In the past five years, the number of heating-oil dealers diversifying into propane delivery increased tenfold, said Chris Herb, associate director of the Connecticut Energy Marketers Association, formerly the Independent Connecticut Petroleum Dealers Association. "Nobody remembers losing customers to natural gas at this rate," he said.

I loved it, one of the best episodes. Too, funny and I think it was a little random. Like when Wobbufet poped durrign the battle and anoyed Brock (it was nice seeign Wobbufet boothering someone else). It was a classic episode. Nice use of bulbes too. One of the best.

Wow, I never knew how many times love could be used in a sentence until I heard the Tag Battle Couple...Those love freaks (lol). One of the funny parts was when Wobbuffet appeared and freaked out Brock. And we found out something new, Meowth can shake his groove thing!

I didn't like this episode that much. It was OK when they battled and in the end when May and Ash were happy again, but other then that it was kind of boring. I did like the battle between Ash and James VS may and Jessie.
Hey, this is the best episode I've seen for quite a while.
The part in the beginning with May obsessing over the mirror was funny, yet a bit random, too.
Oscar and Andy were strange. Actually, they were also sort of random. All they did is come in, have a couple tag battles, then left for the entire episode. But it was nice to see Nidoking and Nidoqueen.
Team Rocket's arguing was hilarious. I never thought I'd say this, but James' too-silly voice was amusing. Of course, I'd still like the old one back (not Ted Lewis). Anyway, yeah, James was funny. His line about Jessie being ugly. Then, right after he said that, he had a funny smile on his face, in the bubble. Then he kept on with the "uglies", and Jessie started with the "La-la-la's (I can't hear you)".
Then the tag battle, Ash & James vs. May & Jessie was funny. It looks like the boys were going to win, until Jessie cheated with her Dustox. Although, it was nice to see it around again.
Meowth trying to get Jessie & James' attention was funny, too. For some reason it seemed like it was doing something else, more like dancing.
Yep, this was a classic episode. I'll give it a 9/10.

OMG i know everyone is here saying how much they loved the episode but i have to say it too! i just gotta get it out of me! thank god for this episode man..hopefully more will be like this!
Andy and whats his face were wierd but hey atleast they knew Jess and James were in love! haha. Wobbuffet and brock..priceless man! and James and Jesse arguing.. how could it get any better!!! omg they are too funny! specially the part when he calls her ugly. and the last battle was reeking of awesomeness too! i like it when they are all around each other like that. and when they all started going crazy attacking each other and everything, omg i was laughing so hard! i was suspecting ash and may would steal the ending so when they did i wasnt bothered too much. cause jess and james did too and it rocked. yup i saved it on my dvr and im keeping it forevers.
Ever since the battle with Flannery, the fillers have become more entertaining in my opinion.
Favorite Moments:
- Brock being bothered by Wobbuffet
- Brock telling Max that Males and Females have been arguing since the beggning of time XD
- 2 vs 2 battles! w00t!
- James' 'Jessie is ugly' song
I gave this one a 10;
Brock and Wobby together for a mysterious cause. Most confusing battle ever, FUNNI!
My most favorite part was a scene I dubbed "Frozen Phish" (a pun on Frozen Fish). Yes, I am talking about when Skitty's blizzard freezed Corphish and she tried to melt him with Assist. Nice Skitshipping there.
But we also had what I am dubbing "Twerpshipping" (May and Jessie or Ash and James). The TR and twerp double battle was funny. So that's what Emerald Double Battles are going to be like
I think this is the bestAdvanced episode so far.I liked the tag team battles and the constant fighting.Pokemon should be like this all the time.Anyways,very good episode.
This is simply one of the most hilarious episodes ever
I really liked the speech bubble fights, Corphish vs. Skitty (Skitty looks so funny in the scene when they are both defeated, totally different from her usual, cute look), and of course, the Tag Battle Ash and James against May and Jessie xD
The Tag Battle Couple had a lousy dress sense, but never mind! They were also hilarious anyway.
I have only seen the original version, so I can't say if this joke was in the dub included too (But I'd say no since I don't know how they could have done that).. but well, I died of laughter when Ash was sarcastic and imitated May's 'kamo' in one sentence. The way he said it was just priceless.
Well, if I continued, I'd use the word 'hilarious' several million times, so I'll stop right here ^^
Your typical anime mod.
I loved James' song! And the thought bubbles were great too!
I didn't like Oscar and Andy though.
Great episode, really funny! 9/10!
This episode was hilarious.
It was funny how Jessie and James were able to interpret what Meowth was trying to get across to them.
Why was the girl's name Andy?
Yeah, I noticed the Onix misspelling too (did I spell misspell correctly?)
The speech bubble part was hilarious. It was funny looking at the James was walking too.
Jessie should stop cheating.
I loved this episode. 9.5/10
I was bored and decided to watch pokemon (I havent watched it since the first few episodes of advance challenge) and it was actually...funny. It's the best episode I ever seen of this season. James was so hallarious, this is an episode that could get me back into the series again.
It's just that May is so annoying, Max is awesome though so it makes up for her annoyingness I guess. It was funny when Ash was making fun of May the whole episode.
Anyway, It was really funny when James was singing about Jessie being ugly XD
EDIT: When is this ep. on again? I want to re-watch it XD

Really, those two guest characters were among the briefest and least important characters of the day ever, but it somehow made them wonderful! I wonder if they spend all their days beating up any male/female pair they come across?
Honestly, on the shippers side, this episode may be the best out there for arguing that Ash and James have no feelings for their current female partners. Ash never even did his fanatical angry denial, or blushed (aside from when May questioned how good he looked).
Who knew Wobbuffet aspired to be a battle judge? Or maybe he just wanted to experience the joy of the Wobbuffet way without the risk of Jesse sucking him back into the ball. I just loved Max, Meowth, Brock and Wobbuffet's short quips to each other during the battle. In some odd way the two groups have really come to know each other pretty well over the years, almost like some freaky dysfunctional family.
May: "Boys, always in denial about their insecurities."
Ash: "Me, insecure? You're the one who has to primp in front of mirrors."
Jesse: "Who are you calling a couple?!"
Meowth: "And who did you completely ignore?!
You know, that might have been the best line of the episode. Like I said, whoever wrote this dub script deserves a hats off.Originally Posted by Pokemon Fan

Unfortunately, I set my tape for 30 minutes instead of 35 for taping (I always go over in case the clock is off) and lost the last 30-60 seconds of the episode, but that didn't stop me from enjoying this episode. Like "A Double Dilemma", I just couldn't stop laughing during the episode. I'm glad they kept the advanceshipping hints, even though I'm not an advanceshipper, even though the U.S. is more into pokeshipping. Otherwise, it would've ruined the episode. It makes me rethink Ash and May a little bit, though I'm still a contestshipper. Anyway, here's my highlights and lowlights:
-- Rocketshipping! Yay!
-- One of the all-too-rare teamups of Team Rocket and Team Twerp. Okay, so it was against teammates, but still, I love when they work together.
-- Team Rocket kicks some butt!
-- Wobbuffet popping over by Brock, and Brock telling him not to do that. LOL
-- Dustox! Yay!
-- Jessie/James and May/Ash reconciling
-- Oscar and Andi. YIKES, don't get me started on them, they made me sick after a minute.
10/10 for me. I'm retaping Friday so I can get the entire episode. This was definitely one of the best episodes of the season.

Actually, yeah.. this episode was pretty cool. Best I've seen in a while. Could've done better without the 20 whatever year old hermaphrodites named Bert and Ernie or whatever they were calling themselves.. but, all in all it was great.
This episode cracked me up. I watched it at my cousins house in the morn. Like others, when he said "the battle of the sexes is over" it caught me off guard. The odd thing is, this episode had nothing to do with "a new pokemon or anything" just bickering and tag battling thats all though
That's true, it really is. And that can be a good foundation for some actual friendships, should J&J ever decide to actually leave Team Rocket.Originally Posted by Pokemon Fan
And forgive me if this has been mentioned before...maybe I heard wrong, but did Jessie tell Dustox to use Pin Missile on Cacnea? If so, there's a little dub goof, but no big deal.

On what side of the furnace do I install the tank of the humidifier (the warm side or the return air side)?
Tell me more
Home Improvement Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for
contractors and serious DIYers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I've had two different whole-house humidifiers, both humidified the return (intake) side of the system, but in two different ways. One was a rotating disc system, which mounted on the bottom of the ceiling-mounted return; the discs rotated into the water and then up into the airflow. In our current house, the unit is mounted on a vertical surface of the hot side, and has a small pump that dribbles water down over a replaceable element; hot air from the supply side blows over the element it and back into the return duct through a small bypass duct. |
All the humidifiers I've seen mount on the return plenum and have a duct installed that bypasses the air handler to the supply plenum. |

I love my FT7 heart rate monitor & calorie counter. I bought it a month ago and use it everyday. I ... read more
Very accurate. Most BACtrack testers use advanced semiconductor sensors and have accuracy levels of �0.01% at 0.10% BAC. Many BACtrack models provide a blood alcohol level (BAC) reading of one
hundredth of one percent and others a BAC reading of one thousandth of one percent. Some law
enforcement organizations use BACtrack testers as preliminary alcohol screening devices.
How can I order additional mouthpieces for my breathalyzer?
Please visit HeartRateMonitorsUSA.com to order mouthpieces for your tester.
How do I use my breath alcohol tester?
For most models, users simply blow through the mouthpiece for 2-5 seconds. The sensors measure the
alcohol level of air in the deep lungs. Testing is most accurate if subjects have not consumed food or
alcohol 15 minutes prior to testing.
Why do I need a breath alcohol tester? Aren't they just for police?
Alcohol breath testers (i.e. breathalyzers) are a great tool for everyone. People are often unaware of theirprecise intoxication level. Different factors like a person's weight, muscle mass, and recently consumedfood or beverages all affect a person's blood alcohol content (BAC). Just because a person may act or seem sober does not mean that they are.
I've just blown a 0.08% BAC. I'm safe to drive home, right?
Absolutely not. There is no acceptable level of alcohol consumption that makes it safe to drive. Any alcohol that enters a person's body can impair reflexes, motor skills, and cognitive abilities.
Does my personal alcohol tester come with a warranty?
Yes, all products are guaranteed by the manufacturer warranty. Please refer to the product order pages for additional information.
How does a breathalyzer work?
Most breathalyzers use one of three technologies to detect alcohol: a spectrophotometer, a fuel-cell
sensor or a semiconductor oxide sensor. Spectrophotometer technology is used in large, table-top breathalyzers often found at police stations. Spectrophotometers work by identifying molecules based on the way they absorb infrared light. The level of ethanol in a sample is singled out and measured, and a subject's alcohol level can then be determined.
Fuel-cell testers, such as the BACtrack Select S80, offer extremely high accuracy and sensitivity, in addition to being handheld and portable. In over 30 US states, roadside evidential testing is now permitted using testers like these. A fuel cell measures alcohol content by creating a chemical reaction that oxidizes the alcohol in the sample and produces an electrical current. The more alcohol that is oxidized, the greater the current. The current is measured to determine the subject's BAC.
Semiconductor oxide based testers are relatively new and very affordable. Many BACtrack testers employ semiconductor oxide technology. An ethanol-specific sensor is used to measure the subject's BAC.
Semiconductor oxide sensors offer many benefits, including low cost, low power consumption and small
size. Many law enforcement agencies use these testers for preliminary screening of DUI suspects.
Semiconductor oxide based testers require calibration service on a more frequent basis (every 200-300 tests or once a year) than fuel cell based testers (a minimum of 1,000 tests or 2 years or more). When used for personal, home and low-volume professional testing, semiconductor oxide models have been proven to perform very well and provide extremely accurate readings.
Who invented the breathalyzer?
Though technologies for detecting alcohol vary, it's widely accepted that Dr. Robert Borkenstein (1912-2002), a captain with the Indiana State Police and later a professor at the University of Indiana, is
regarded as the first to create a device that measures a subject's alcohol level based on a breath sample.
In 1954, Borkenstein invented his breathalyzer, that used chemical oxidation and photometry to
determine alcohol concentration. The invention of the breathalyzer provided law enforcement with a noninvasive
test with immediate result reporting that can be used to determine an individual's level of
BACtrack Breathalyzers was featured on The Dr. Phil Show titled "Under the Influence." Dr. Phil encourages everyone to buy and use a BACtrack. BACtrack was also featured on Oprah's All Stars, The Doctors, and in The Wall Street Journal last year.

Looking forward to a well-deserved retirement, Ernest O'banion sold Nation's Inn to the current owner of Best Western on Jan. 28.
"I'm really excited to see how things go," said new owner Roger Chohan.
Chohan moved from Oregon last November when he purchased Best Western. Chohan has worked in the hotel business for the last 11 years, and said he is looking forward to the challenge of operating two hotels.
"I'm optimistic, our economy is doing good," said Chohan. He also said the expansion of U.S. 221 into a four-lane is "gonna make this county boom."
Chohan also said he has never seen people so friendly anywhere else, and locals have been very accommodating, even though Chohan just recently moved here.
Chohan found West Jefferson after his parents visited the mountains and fell in love with the area. Eventually, Chohan followed suit and visited Ashe County to inquire about the purchase of Best Western.
"When I came to see Best Western, I thought Nation's Inn had more potential," due to Nation's Inn's location, said Chohan.
Chohan also said he wants to make Nation's Inn comparable to any other franchise. "We're trying really hard to put new stuff in," like new furniture and televisions, said Chohan.
To make sure both hotels meet his customer's standards, Chohan said he plans on working 16 hours every day until both hotels are complete up to speed.
Reflecting back on Nation's Inn's previous owner, Chohan said O'banion wanted to sell Nation's Inn "because he is 83 years old," and after working almost 60 years in the hotel business, he deserved a retirement.

Thanks to the nice weather, more and more automotive events are organized, which is always good fun for the fans. Recently, spotter auto-moto0611 came upon a series of classic cars which took part in the 'Castel Rally', by accident. These classics left from Roeselare to Genval, where they would spend the night in the chic Château du Lac. The day after, they would drive on to Ingelmunster. Take a look below to see which rare classic cars where present! Read more
Tomorrow, at 5.00 PM, the 24 hours of the Nürburgring will start. Like always, it's a real spectacle in which Aston Martin also takes part. They will drive an Aston Martin Rapide S powered by Hydrogen and driven by no one less than Ulrich Bez, the CEO of Aston Martin. This will not be the only news from Aston Martin, they will also reveal the CC100, of which some teasers are uploaded to the internet. Read more
The summer is ready to come, so it's time for the convertible roofs to unfold on the roads. There are only a few cars which are as enjoyable with the roof down for four persons as the BMW M3 E93 Convertible. In WuXi this model got spotted, it's one of the many models with remarkable colours there, like the gele Nissan GT-R and the shiny Porsche. We have never seen this colour before on the BMW M3, it's something between cyan red and turquoise. Read more
The triplet is complete. After the Ferrari LaFerrari and the McLaren P1, the Porsche 918 Spyder is the third car in this list of supercars. Since the Geneva Motor Show in 2010, we wrote about the Porsche 918 Spyder. All speculations are now over, because the Porsche 918 Spyder is officially announced today. It this car a competitor of the crazy LaFerrari and P1? Read more
Every year, Autogspot is present at the Concorso d'Eleganza of Villa d'Este. This beautiful location is the decor for an outrageous event which can be called on of the most beautiful in the world. Next week, the gates will open at Villa d'Este, of course we're present too. One of the cars we will lift out will be a car made in a companionship of BMW and Pininfarina, the Gran Lusso Pininfarina concept. Read more
There aren't a lot of cars which get more expensive every year. The Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Roadster is a car in this category. The current owner wants to get almost two million Dollars for his convertible and that's way more than the 1.5 million Dollars he needed to pay when he bought the car. Time to take a closer look at this special car of which only six copies are built. This model is one from the very rare Super Sport series. Read more
Manufacturers do a lot to be as 'green' as possible nowadays. Least, most of the manufacturers do. The 'small' companies like Maserati and Bentley don't pay as much attention to this as the other companies do. By chance, they also decided to build a super SUV and Lamborghini is the last company who agreed on producing this car. They announced that they're going to produce the Lamborghini Urus during the festivities around the 50th anniversary of the company. Read more
The winter is over in Moscow and all the beautiful supercars are returning to the streets. This BMW M6 fits perfect between all the colourful spot. This car was tuned by our friends from TopCar and it now has a lot of carbon fiber! Read more
Often, spots are uploaded on Autogespot with a special or matching license plate. In many countries you can have a personalized license plate for your car. This isn't only fun for the owner but also for everyone with a bit of car knowledge. Look further if you want to know which spots we selected for this special! Read more
A while ago, we already wrote about the Jaguar F-Type Coupe which will be introduced soon. We expect this car to look like the C-X16 which was shown on exhibitions as a concept model. Looking at the spyshots we may be right! Read more
The fluent lines of the first generation Mercedes-Benz CLS are still praised, even nowadays. The timeless looks show us class and power. In Dortmund, a CLS 55 AMG was spotted which doesn't only look powerful because of the AMG package, but the colours add some power too. Compared with the surrounding, this car looks like it's camouflaged! Read more
We sometimes see spots which stand out above all the others. Often, this is because of the special car or because of the beautiful pictures. Sometimes it´s even a combination of both and that´s what we love to see. Regular visitors from Autogespot might know AnshoB from all his other spots, but those spots aren´t as beautiful as this one. The pictures looks perfect! Read more
Maserati's new little one, the Ghibli, is presented a few weeks ago and we're now waiting for the first spot to be uploaded. Until then, we just have to do it with the spyshots, of which one was uploaded recently. The Ghibli can be seen as a sort of mini-Quattroporte and that's not a bad thing. Read more
As you might have noticed, we're having some technical difficulties at this moment. A hard drive of our server crashed which makes it impossible to upload any spots at this moment. We work as hard as we can to fix this but unfortunately we can't say how long it will take before the problems are over. Read more
We see the Nissan GT-R in the uploaded spots at least five times a day. Of course that's quite logical, every fell for this perfected Jap. To make sure not every model is in white with black wheels, Nissan offers a wide range of colours, despite that most of them are still very modest. Happely though, some owners choose for another colour at the aftermarket-circuit, where tuners turn these cars into the most exquisite creations. Read more
A day out to visit the factory of Ferrari is a great trip. Marvel at all the beautiful cars and take a look at the newest models on the production line. Reventon09 recently visited the factory and he saw several test models during the trip. He got his camera and made some pictures for us. Read more
Have you recently won a lot of money and do you want to buy a real supercar? Have you won more than three million Euros? Yes? In that case we have a tip for you. In Dubai, the following Huayra is on sale, a copy which was probably also spotted in this city. Read more
With only two copies on Autogespot, we can definitely say that the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Convertible is a relatively rare appearance. Is this because of the price of 60,000 Euros or is this because people are afraid of the car? Because this is a extremely powerful American! Read more
The designing team lead by Walter de Silva got a carte blanche from Lamborghini to design a one-off especially for the 50th anniversary of the company. As extreme as possible because CEO Stephan Winkelmann wants to make Lamborghini the bad boy between the supercars. Meanwhile, more pictures and information about this special creation is released. Read more
Dartz, the company that gets a lot of media attention because of their crazy projects and cars. Two years ago, they made the Prombron GoldRussian Chinese Edition to celebrate their 'welcome' in the Chinese market. This copy was captured before it headed to China, back in the days and is now finally uploaded on Autogespot. Read more

The crucifixion, resurrection and why it is relevant to the plight of the Syrian people
He was despised and rejected by others;
a man of suffering and acquainted with infirmity;
and as one from whom others hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him of no account. Is 53:3
So Prophesied Isaiah hundreds of years before Jesus was born. Christians see the enigmatic person described here as embodied in Jesus Christ. But why does that matter to the world? How does it, for instance, make an iota of difference to the problems of, say, Syria?
Christian theologians over the centuries have not been particularly good at explaining why the crucifixion and resurrection matter to the world with all its problems. Here's just one way of looking at it.
In suffering without fighting back Jesus, the innocent victim, sets up a new way of goodness tackling wrong. History of course records others before and since who have willingly suffered in order to achieve the greater good. For Christians, though, what Jesus does is unique: because he is not merely a good human being but also divine. God in Jesus absorbs the pain of the world without seeking to retaliate. And, out of that willing acceptance of the pain of the world, comes the triumph of new, transformed life in the resurrection of Jesus. New life, new hope that wrongful suffering need not be the end of the human condition.
It is out of this refusal to accept the power of violence and wrong-doing that there can be transformation into new life - not only for Christ in the resurrection but also for all of us who seek to model our lives on his. We need to follow that model in our own lives and in our society and the wider world. We rob wrong-doing of its power over us if we don't respond to violence with violence.
The press have just been marking the 10th anniversary of the Iraq war. The historian Charles Tripp is reported as in the Guardian of 19th March as saying 'The use of violence, whatever its motive, has its own baleful logic. The deeper and more prolonged its use, the more distinctive and disturbing the consequences will be.' What is true of Iraq is true, too, of individual lives. The more we let anger or violence take root in our individual lives, the more it determines our reactions,and the greater the consequences will be.
This is not to say it is never right to fight back. Not to say - to take an obvious example - that someone subjected to domestic violence should not defend themselves. But it is to say that it is right to take a different and just way of redressing wrong, which entails in that case the state punishes for domestic violence, not the victim (nor his/her friends or family) exacting revenge.
It all starts with individuals, with how each of us in our own lives choose to react to aggression, confrontation or violence. The way that Jesus took was to defuse violence, to break the cycle of violence and we can do likewise.
That won't solve the Syrian crisis overnight. On the political level such an approach is much harder. How to engineer change without violence, justice without revenge there? I don't know, but 2 things to bear in mind. First, the events of Good Friday and Easter show even when non-violence is rejected, even when people refuse it, it can lead to triumph. Secondly, look at the practical example of Iraq. Did military intervention there bring peace with justice? Tripp is right when he says that the use of violence has its own baleful logic that we see in the recent history of Iraq. Perhaps our politicians are beginning to realise that in the reticence to provide military support in Syria despite the scale of the humanitarian disaster.
The way of reconciliation, the rejection of anger and revenge worked in South Africa in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Not completely because we are talking of imperfect human beings. But it made a start for that country. It is the way of Jesus and it is the only way that will stand a chance of working.

Then comes out-of-towner Ryan Hong. His vintage car attracts attention. His unbelievable marital arts skills cause a sensation. Sensing a human weapon, the rival gangs bid for Hong's allegiance. But Hong is committed to honoring an old promise to a mentor he met in prison: that he will "do good" wherever possible. With a lethal combination of street smarts and martial arts, Hong vows to lift St. Jude's citizens out of fear… even if he must turn into a one-man army to do it.

In her comprehensive and easy to follow book, Judy Caplan Ginsburgh includes twenty-six songs, religious and secular, that will help to facilitate an environment of fun and learning. Each song addresses important Jewish concepts and many use Hebrew words and prayers. Judy provides comments, activities, and creative ideas, specific for each song, which can be used in the classroom to learn about being Jewish every day. The importance of saying the Sh'ma each morning, learning the Hebrew words for colors, understanding body parts, and the value of cooperation are only some of the Jewish concepts touched on in the book.
In addition, Judy Ginsburgh includes a list of suggested books for many of the topics. These books help to reinforce and expand the lessons laid out in the curriculum.
With a helpful glossary of Hebrew and Yiddish terms and the companion music CD, My Jewish World is a wonderful guide to making music significant in the Jewish classroom.

Loved the picture but even prettier than expected when received. A little bit of sparkle in the lacy fabric. Ordered it a size bigger than normal but good thing because it fits perfect. Runs smaller than the on-line fitting guide so definitely order up. Really elegant but not old fashioned or too formal.

This game is done by a large (8 or more will do) group of males. This works where one lucky guy (if you consider it lucky) gets blindfolded and spun around. After this, everyone, including the blindfolded guy, drops their pants and everyone stands in a circle around the blindfolded guy. Dazed and confused, the blindfolded guy (currently in the middle of the circle) walks backwards into one of the other guys' dicks. He then tries to guess who is... inside him. Hence the title of the game: Mystery Meat. Kevin: Wanna get together with the guys and play some mystery meat tonight?
Rob: Nah, whenever I play I end up being the one blindfolded. |
