Even though many international publishers are just starting to dabble in producing e-books, almost all recognize that digital books are the future and that, in a few years, their local market will look more like the current one in America, where e-books are accounting for as much as 8% of revenue among the major houses. For this reason, most American agents are including digital rights in their foreign deals, but not without caveats.

Tahs crush lousy Lions
12 Mar 2010
The Lions delivered another poor defensive display as Drew Mitchell scored four tries in the Waratahs' 73-12 win in Sydney.
This fixture was talked about as the Lions' best chance of victory, even though they had never beaten the Tahs in Sydney. That hope was short-lived, however, as after just 32 minutes, the hosts wrapped up the bonus point. The Lions have now conceded 29 tries in the tournament, which tells the story of a shocking start to the season.
The Tahs were under pressure from their supporters and the Australian media, but their fans had plenty to cheer about as they crossed the line 11 times.
Carlos Spencer gifted the Tahs their first two tries, the first when the Lions won a turnover but opted to run from deep. This is the approach coach Dick Muir loves to see, but it cost the Lions as the Tahs won the ball back, and from an ensuing penalty, Drew Mitchell tapped and dived over the line. Earlier in the move, Tonderai Chavhanga had also rushed out of the defensive line handing the Tahs the momentum.
The Waratahs winger went from hero to villain momentarily as a mistake behind his own goal-line gifted Chavhanga a score. The Tahs led 7-5 after seven minutes, but then Spencer was again at his worst. His kick was charged and gathered by Dean Mumm who cantered over with the cover defence non-existent.
The Lions' defence was typically porous as they missed 12 tackles inside 25 minutes. The Tahs were hardly made to work as the Lions handed another Australasian team a bonus point – the third time they've conceded five log points in 2010.
Tom Carter crashed over before Wandile Mjekevu's mistake (which was similar to Mitchell's) saw Lachie Turner claim the fourth try.
The Lions were intent on running, but clearly lacked confidence, as Spencer and Earl Rose hacked away possession aimlessly. The Tahs were buoyed by the visitors' mistakes and looked to counter from deep, and Berrick Barnes also drove the Lions back with some lengthy touch-finders.
Muir finally lost patience with his halfbacks as JP Joubert and Spencer were replaced by Jano Vermaak and Burton Francis at half-time. The latter pair didn't lack effort, but without the platform from their pack, they battled to make an impact.
The Lions have successfully brought other teams, such as the Brumbies, down to their level, but the Tahs kept their structure and scored a further six tries in the second half. The Lions opted to run everything in the final 40, and Mitchell capitalised from their numerous errors to complete a personal tally of four tries.
Muir will undoubtedly find 'positives' in this display, but the Lions are going nowhere slowly. The seven-time champions Crusaders lie in wait, and if the Lions' woeful defence continues, they can expect another hiding.

Hmmm now let me enlighten you from the female perspective.
Soccer players lack the quality rugby men possess in spades.
13 Mar 2010, 09:44 am@The Almighty Shaun: Class!! Money cannot buy class, you of all people should know that
13 Mar 2010, 09:49 am@JL1: Money can buy class!!! Just imagine Earl buys himself a proper 'safari pak' wif a 'kam innie kous'
13 Mar 2010, 09:54 am@RugbyRulz: 597.. I am just a normal intelligent person who has many interest… I can strip an engine, write about economics, I have a great interest in organisational dynamics and I am super hot at Excel. Great writing skills and I have an above average understanding of commercial law… Played, coached and administered in football. Also played Baseball and tennis( not really good) but I am decent at squash… I also have a great interest the organisational dynamics of rugby. It is a strange sport that requires constant change to keep it relevant as a world sport while it battles to sell its initial agenda of White supremacy
13 Mar 2010, 09:59 am@The Almighty Shaun: 602
I too am quite accomplished in many ways, but do not feel the impulse to prostitute myself here.Dude you are way too caught up with the skin you're in. Man I couldn't give a rats ar$e about anyone trying to trivialise Rugby by trying to taint the game with racism.
You certainly need to find a barrow worth pushing because the grip you have on the handle is coming up short.
13 Mar 2010, 10:02 am@JL1: 600..Luckily I am not classist.. so that is beneath me
@RugbyRulz: Leg drive?? There lies your problem.. Its pelvic thrust thats more important.. unless you are a bigger woman .. but let me not be judgemental 8)
13 Mar 2010, 10:07 am@RugbyRulz: 603.. Your poetry is wonderful.. but it does not counter my argument about Rugby's dilemma
13 Mar 2010, 10:10 am@The Almighty Shaun: 605
In Your Humble Opinion, Rugby has a dilemma;!I do not agree with your view.
We can agree to disagree.
13 Mar 2010, 10:11 amAnyhooo Shorks and Brumbies up within the hour, have a pleasant day ya'll.
13 Mar 2010, 10:14 am@RugbyRulz: 606..Copout??
13 Mar 2010, 10:23 amGood grief, we do love yourselves don't we?! You sound like the type of guy I would chew my own arm of to get away from at a bar…
13 Mar 2010, 10:25 amOurselves…. and off… a EDIT button would be nice.
Anyway, it's a new day and I still feel the same as yesterday.
13 Mar 2010, 10:26 am@KWAGGA ROBERTSE: Bwhahahahaha!!
13 Mar 2010, 10:27 am@Grrrr….I used to be a Lion!: The presumption is that you are female… I don't chat up woman at a bar.. It tends to be the other way around.. My friends call me magneto
13 Mar 2010, 10:30 am@The Almighty Shaun: @602 you wouldn't know an organisational dynamic if it bit you on the arse. Only thing you're good for is counting bricks and complaining about white people being superior
13 Mar 2010, 10:31 amAg, I will just call you d**s.
13 Mar 2010, 10:32 am@Big Hit: cant help yourself can you Biggles, does anything good rugby wise ever come out of NZ?
I think youll find most kiwis were gracious enough to admit that the 2003 English side were the best at the time, yet in my 3 years here I dont think Ive ever heard you mention NZ in a positive light.. have you even been to NZ, a true rugby mad country?
where people live and breathe the game? where every kid wants to grow up to be an AB, and at any school you will invariably see kids kicking or running with a rugby ball? not the round version you guys fawn over?
or is it the fact that a country with a population probably smaller then half the size of London continually serves your pretenders a plate of whoop @rse…
13 Mar 2010, 10:39 am@Grrrr….I used to be a Lion!: whaever
@Porto: Havn't counted bricks for a while.. 52 imperial in m2.. single skin.. 104 in 1bk wl.. Ah.. now I remember.. can't remember the concrete mixes.. but I always get confused with it.. is 6:2:1. 10MPA
13 Mar 2010, 10:42 am@The Almighty Shaun: Love the restraint. Is this a newer, more mature Shaun (sic)?
13 Mar 2010, 21:52 pmVictors armblade is "a bit of sponge"
yeah, right. It's reinforced poly-plastic weaponry no less. Matfields arm injury was 7yrs ago, WTF does he still need it for ? Cory Flynn has broken both arms, many times, and check out what he was wearing in the Crusaders v Chiefs match – nothing other than normal strapping !
Matfield is a thug, no less. Try telling Kelleher & Elsom, to name just 2 of the most obvious egs, that it's just 'sponge'.

For Windows 64, put the DLLs into the Windows/SysWOW64 Folder.
Um PHP mit cURL-Unterstützung nutzen zu können, muss man PHP mit der Option --with-curl[=DIR] kompilieren, wobei DIR das Verzeichnis angibt in dem sich die lib und include Verzeichnisse befinden. In dem include Verzeichnis sollte ein Unterverzeichnis namens curl existieren, dass die Dateien easy.h und curl.h enthält. Zudem sollte eine Datei namens libcurl.a in dem lib-Verzeichnis sein. Ab PHP 4.3.0 kann man PHP mit der Option --with-curlwrappers konfigurieren, um cURL für URL-Streams nuzten zu können.
Hinweis: Anmerkung für Win32-Nutzer
Um dieses Modul in einer Windows-Umgebung nutzen zu können, müssen libeay32.dll und ssleay32.dll im PATH verfügbar sein. libcurl.dll von der cURL-Webseite wird nicht benötigt.
Ubuntu 11.04
I already had Apache and PHP5 setup, but simply adding php5-curl and curl did *not* work. I also had to get libcurl3 and libcurl3-dev. The full command:
sudo apt-get install curl libcurl3 libcurl3-dev php5-curl
You'll know if it works because phpinfo() will get a new section with Curl info.
You may be confused, as I was, by the instructions for installing cURL in php. The instruction "To use PHP's cURL support you must also compile PHP --with-curl[=DIR]..." was murky to me, since I didn't compile php when I installed it. I just copied all of the necessary files to the correct folders as described very clearly in the php manual.
I am using Windows XP and Apache with php 5.1.6. In this situation, and it may apply to php versions of 5.0 and later, all one needs to do is remove the ";" from the front of the directive extension=php_curl.dll. You should also check to make certain that libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll are in your php directory with the other dll's. This directory should already be in you path, so the instruction to put them in you path is not critical.
You can then run phpinfo() and you should see a heading for curl in the listing.
Succinctly, my installation of cURL consisted of removing the semi-colon in front of the ;extension=php_curl.dll line in php.ini, saving php.ini and restarting Apache. You may wish to try this if you are using php 5.0 and later and are having difficulty understanding the instructions on the cURL installation page at php.net
You might also find the information at http://curl.phptrack.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=52 useful.
It should be noted that on a standard installation of php 5.2.17 on windows has this functionality installed and enabled by default.
Just an additional note for Windows XP installations ...
The instructions others have courteously given still lack one small item for those who have the Windows/system32 directory as the repository for the .dll files concerned with php_curl.
Go to the ext directory of your php installation and copy php_curl.dll to the Windows/system32 folder after you have followed the advise given elsewhere.
So ...
1) remove ';' from extension=php_curl.dll in php.ini
2) ensure that ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll are in Windows/system32.
3) Copy php_curl.dll into Windows\System32 as well.
If you're dense like I am, spare yourself the trouble on an Ubuntu system (probably Debian too) and...
$ sudo apt-get install php5-curl
Then feel dumb, but not as dumb as me.
For users of win7 64:
I just copied the library php_curl.dll to System32 and it works like charm ;-)
A tip for users that now use the latest version of Windows 7 Ultimate, Apache 2.2.22 and PHP 5.4.4. If you manually installed PHP and did not change the PHP folder name such as "C:\php-5.4.4-Win32-VC9-x86" you don't need to add the curl libs into the System32 directory. Instead, modify the php.ini cURL extension to point directly to the php_curl.dll as follows:
I added the libs to system32 and moded the path as well just in case. Worked well for me.
Tip for Installing cURL with AppServ development server on Windows
If you are running AppServ as a WAMP development environment on a Windows machine, you may experience difficulty installing cURL. Here are some helpful steps:
First go to the PHP directory and copy the following libraries to the windows/system32 dir.
Open the php ini file and remove the ; from extension=php_curl.dll
Reboot your machine to load […]
If you are using XAMPP (http://www.apachefriends.org/en/index.html) all you have to do is uncomment this line (line 582):
in the xampp\apache\bin\php.ini file.
If you are using WAMPserver, you can enable the cURL extensions by
Left-click on WAMPserver tray icon>PHP>PHP extensions> Check php_curl.
Its already loaded on your disk, you have to activate it.
It's not sufficient to put libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll into your path. They also need to be in the PHP directory or it will not function, apparently.
If anybody has problems with getting new curl working with older version of php then ...
I got stuck with installing curl-7.10.2+php 4.0.6 or better said configuring PHP with mentioned version of curl.
After some hopeless attempts to configure curl support into PHP I saw an error message:
"checking for cURL greater than or equal to 7.8... ./configure: line 11725: test: 070a02: integer expression expected"
after which configure said: "configure: error: cURL version 7.8 or later is required to compile php with cURL support"
On the mentioned line "test" is used to compare verion from curl-sonfig with preset value 70800 but ... test expects both values to be integer. From verson 7.8 curl outputs its version in hex...
I did'nt had the time to think about fixing this - I just deleted lines responsible and got curl working :)

1. | Alligator Fuckhouse | ||
A daring sexual maneuver: Mid-coitus, one person bites the neck of the other, locks their arms and legs down and goes into a deathroll, all while maintaining insertion. Like downshifting a car! Sally: "Last night Johnny surprised me with an Alligator Fuckhouse, and I came for an hour and a half! I think the bite might have left a scar though..."
2. | alligator fuckhouse | ||
A term used for when I bite the neck of my lover and open their legs like a mighty crocodile then go into a deathroll while having sexual intercourse with him. I gave Rex a good Alligator Fuckhouse last night after mom went to work.
3. | Alligator Fuckhouse | ||
latin: Conglomero crocodylus A sexual act with an exciting end for either participant. At the point of mutual climax, one partner bites down on the corner of the other's neck, near the shoulder, and initiates a "death roll"--similar to the efficient hunting technique of an alligator or crocodile, in which the reptile breaks its victim's bones and flesh through vigorous, sensual rotations. Nethin' prepares me for the great thrill of an Alligator Fuckhouse after an hour of love-making. Daisy is a big girl, 6'1" and heavy as a truck, so when she starts rolling me, I know that our climax is going to be anything but dull. The bleeding usually stops within an hour, and the occasional broken rib is just a small price to pay.

Performing any and all sexual acts while wearing jorts. Let's go to UF. Jorts turn me on! I am freaky for the jorts. It's going to be an alligator fuckhouse with all those jorts!

An orgy involving the exclusive use of French Ticklers. The ridges on the French Ticklers, represent the roughness of an Alligator's back. And the fuckhouse is, well, the orgy part. Suit up with your French Ticklers, 'cause we're having an Alligator Fuckhouse up in here!

The act known as the Alligator Fuckhouse consists of placing the female lying down on her side, opening her legs like the powerful jaws of the mighty crocodile, and imitating the couragous tamer of these fearsome beasts.... ramming your entire head into her vagina.

Andy: "Sounds like an alligator fuckhouse to me." |

The state of having completed the following tasks successfully:
1) For your birthday, you demand of your girlfriend that she make for you all the foods that she hates, but you love, and she complies. 2) You bring overself to climax in front of her, and thus ejaculate on all the food. 3) You demand that she consumes all the food. 3a) If she is unable to eat all of the food in one sitting, she must save it in Tupperware(tm) and it eat it later. note: if your girlfriend consumes the entire meal, you are required by law to ask her to marry you. Man #1: It was a total alligator fuckhouse

On the trail of a vicious kidnapper, Reacher is learning the chilling secrets of his employer's past...and of a horrific drama in the heart of a nasty little war. He's beginning to realize that Edward Lane is hiding something. Something dirty. Something big. But Reacher also knows this: he's already in way too deep to stop now.
Don't miss any of Jack Reacher's adventures.
©2006 Lee Child; (P)2006 Brilliance Audio
Semi retired magazine editor and part time university adjunct instructor who is often distracted by his 10-year-old daughter.
"Picks up at the conclusion"
This Reacher story lacked much of the macho interplay that we have come to expect between our superhero and the cast of bad guys. But what was lacking in the first 10 hours or so is more than made up for in a riveting final 90 minutes. I continue to be a fan of narrator Dick Hill but he went a bit overboard with his interpretation of Hobart. Injuries left Hobart unable to speak clearly and Hill did his voice so well that it was difficult, and sometimes impossible, to discern what he was saying on first listen. Other than that annoyance, Hill did his usual splendid job. I've reviewed all the Reacher novels in chronological order and this one doesn't differ from the rest. Escapism with a larger-than-life hero who doesn't take hostages. Violent good prevails over violent evil.
"A perfect audio read"
I have read many of Lee Child's books, but never listened to one before. Listening to this book made me realize what a very skilled writer he is. Of course, Dick Hill's remarkable narration had something to do with it, and I highly recommend this audio book. The book is well-paced and carefully constructed to lead up to a finish that will make you go lock yourself in the bathroom so that no one disturbs you during the last few chapters! Fortunately, Dick Hill narrates many, many books on this site, and there are still more Jack Reacher novels I haven't read or listened to. Happy New Year!
"Better than expected"
This was my first novel by Lee Child and it won't be my last. It captured my attention from the beginning because it is so different. There is a quiet intensity in the main character, Reacher. He's like a soda can be shaken up most of the story and you know at some point...
Dick Hill does a fantastic job of interpreting the main character.
"This is why we love Reacher"
I will listen to The Hard Way again. The story is, of course, implausible but the characters are wonderful, fully developed, and the events are well crafted and thought out.
I usually listen to my audio books while on road trips, but I had to keep listening to this one when I got back to my desk at work. I could not wait to find out what happened next.
Dick Hill has a great voice for Reacher. I have only listened to him as Reacher, but his voice is powerful, strong & clipped which adds another layer to the character.
I'm a 36 yr. old master of no paticular trade, but currently working in the oil patch. I'm not very critical and love to consume audiobooks
"I judge by time to listen and this one went quick"
An excellent continuation to the Reacher series. I'm not overly critical and if you've enjoyed the previous selections then this one will be an excellent addition to your library. It is Reacher doing what he does, and the love interest was more plausible than in previous additions. I'd buy it again.
"Mostly solving a mystery. Not enough action."
Not as good as other Reacher books, but it kept my interest.
It's mostly police style investigating. Not enough smart things were being done, either by the bad guys or the good guys. The husband was wealthy and could have put tracking devices on the car, or had video/pictures taken near the car. There is almost no action until the end of the book. The best Reacher stories have been thrillers, with a bad guy plotting and trying to harm Reacher. This is not a thriller. It's mostly just solving the mystery with some action at the end. But because I like the character Reacher so much, I was ok with this. I didn't feel a need for it to be over.
I noticed some reviewers complain that the phrase "Reacher said nothing" is overused in these books. I disagree. He's the "silent type." Studies have shown that most women use twice as many (or more) words per day than most men. In that sense, it fits. Reacher is not as talkative as others.
I was disappointed that the author did not show one scene. A female does something stupid which allows the bad guys to capture her and others. We don't see how it happened. It was told, not shown. In one scene the good guys are safe in their house. In the next scene they are tied up in another location and being hurt by the bad guys.
I had one other problem. I almost wish I had not read the book because one back story was too horrible for me. Two soldiers were captured and kept in an African prison for five years, with body amputations and repulsive living conditions. I've read a lot of fiction with bad guys doing horrible things, but other books did not bother me the way this did. I'm not sure why, but it kept me awake at night.
The ending was pleasant and feel good.
Listening to stories should be considered a hobby. It's one of the things I most enjoy, along with sewing and quilting. Retired too. Ahhh!
"Slower paced but effective"
Picking up a "Reacher", my brain begins the process of gearing for overdrive, a slow acceleration building to an finish both agonizing and justified. Not this one. As I listened I realized this one was different. The quest was methodical and having come from the area described in the story, I was hooked. I will listen to this one again.
"Jack Reacher rights all wrongs!"
One of my favorites of the action books I've read.
Well researched, mixed with sense of decency against the bad guys. Reacher is just one cool dude.
Makes me laugh and cheer on the good guy. Bad guys get what they deserve'
A great escape from everyday life. Addictive! Read this series!

iTunes Tune-up 2: Turn on the Time Machine
The right song can mentally take me back to an earlier time and place - and thanks to the smart playlist feature in iTunes, I can sonically journey back to those halcyon days of high school or college and stay as long as I like. And it's easier to set up than my first date. Here's how.
Step 1 - Create a new smart playlist. Select "Year" as the criteria. You can set the smart playlist to match a specific year, a range of years (1998 to 2002) or dates either later or earlier than the year entered. You'll probably discover that many of your tracks already have the Year field filled in, and your smart playlist will instantly be populated with tracks. If they're not, move to step 2.
Step 2 - Fill in the "Year" field. Select "Music" from your Library options. If your tracks aren't already showing the Year field in your Library display, go to the "View" menu and open up "View Options" and check the "Year" box. You'll quickly see which songs are missing Year information. If a song you want in your smart playlist is one of them, just highlight the track and select "Get Info" from the File menu. This shows you the text and graphic info for the track. Click the Info tab to reveal the Year field. Just enter the appropriate year, and hit "OK." If an entire album needs fixing, don't worry. That's step 3
Step 3 - Multiple item shortcut. There's a fast way to enter the same information to the data field of many different tracks. Sort your selections so that all the tracks you want to update are together (sorting by artist or album is usually the best way). Highlight the first track on the list, and hold down the shift key. Highlight the last song of the list, and you should see all the songs between the first and last highlighted as well. Select "Get Info" from the file menu, and you'll see a Multiple Item Information menu. Fill in the Year field and select "OK." That information will automatically be entered into the track information for every song in the group.
One thing more. When I started creating smart playlists for different eras, I discovered that songs imported from CD compilations often have the year the compilation was released automatically entered. So, for example, a greatest hits of the eighties collection may have 2003 in the Year field, causing the Fine Young Cannibals to show up in the midst of a post-millennial smart playlist.
I've set up a playlist folder titled "Bio." In it, I've got different smart playlists covering high school, college, post-grad school, and several other special times. When nostalgia hits, I've got the hits programmed and ready to go.

the network for radical unschooling families
I'm new here. Not new to unschooling, but we've been transitioning to a more radical style, especially this summer with bedtimes, relaxing TV limits and being more free with their choices for eating. Much of it has come naturally as they have aged. It has been a bumpy transition. Some good-- alot good, in fact, but some bad. I don't claim to be a radical unschooler, but we are working our way in that direction.
I would love to hear from you about your transitions, if this has not been your modus operandi since the beginning. This is one of the reasons I've joined this board-- to listen and learn and be inspired. I don't really have much to offer others as we have yet to make the leap to a fully radical, whole-life unschooling. We still need to learn to balance other's needs, respect towards others (my oldest. 7.5, can be particularly cantankerous when she's in a mood). We also have only one bedroom right now, so..... yeah.
Thanks in advance.
What specific things are you having problems with? Every family is unique so the mix of problems will be unique.
If by "we" balancing needs you mean your kids need to learn how too, that may be where you're running into problems. It can help to assume the kids are doing the best they can with the skills and understanding of the world they currently have and you help them do better. The principles are your tools to use to solve problems, not new rules to impose on them.
As an adult you have greater abilities to sense the dynamics of the group and redirect if they're headed downward, to know when hunger or tiredness or overwhelmedness may be a factor and head that off before it becomes an issue. To have a better sense of the big picture to help with solutions for everyone rather than just one person.
Young kids really can't focus on the needs of others. They need you to help them meet their needs AND take others into account. They will grasp this better the more they see you doing while helping them get what they want.
Sorry that's so vague but without specifics to go on, it kinda ends up being that way ;-)
In the meantime, there's loads of ideas in the archives here and at Sandra Dodd's Radical Unschooling site and my Joyfully Rejoycing site.
Two other resources that are helpful are Scott Noelle's Daily Grove (a practical tip each week day), and Rue Kream's Parenting a Free Child.
One of the biggest struggles for me has been my 7.5's need or desire to have everything her way, especially in regards to her sister. She puts up monsterous fusses when it's my 5.5yo's turn to choose videos, will choose books and videos just because dd2 hates them (increasingly difficult) is always making comments that are hurtful. It seems that whenever she is in a less-than-glorious mood she finds new and interesting ways to put down, insult, and push her sister around. It seems to be all the time. This is no small problem and has been an issue since the day we brought dd2 home.
That's less about seeking ways to have a say in what happens and when in the house, but it really puts me on edge and causes no end of disharmony in the house. They both have their misbehavior and thoughtlessness, but dd1 has a corner on pure meanness towards her sister. I am so weary of it.
Specific problem: every summer I have tried exploring relaxed bedtimes or no bedtimes. This summer has been a great start. They still love the bedtime routines. Where the trouble lies is that after bedtime seems to be the cue to start the best, loudest, funnest play of the day. If they were grouchy before, suddenly that evaporates. Then they don't calm down.
Trouble? This is my bedtime, too. I wouldn't mind if they stayed up or went to bed, really, but this needs to be *quiet* time. Last night was calmer and better, but the night before they didn't fall asleep until well after 10. DD2 is getting short on sleep so she can break down and scream at everybody the next day. Now we are in our new house which only has one bedroom now. Uff da!
Bedtime is our biggest difficulty, in no small part because I am really tired. I have tried just going to bed, but in the past they have just started fighting while getting ready. They are more cheerful now, just way too energetic. They have plenty of time to burn off the excess before. (Background: they have snacks and drinks at stories, so teeth brushing comes after, plus we are allergic to dustmites, so fresh clothes are a must after the couch. That's why we do this after.) I'm glad they don't fight so much getting ready, but this is frustrating.
For my part, I have come a long way from the shouting dictator, but I am still incredibly impatient this time of the day. I'm tired of being the referee, mostly. (If the playing field between them was more level, I could feel comfortable backing off, but it is not.) I fully recognize that some of that troubles with bossiness lands fully on my shoulders.
This has all been a back-and-forth exploration of trying to find our way to a place where we can make choices that won't impact others negatively. Exploring trying to have patience (me-- especially when words and explanations just don't seem to bring understanding. I'm not meaning compliance, just understanding and dialogue. This can be infinitely difficult for me, and I guess it just comes with the age.) I'm learning to not just fall back on laying down the consequences to get what I want from them.
Like I said, transitions for all of us.
Thanks for the links. I have really enjoyed reading them. They will be infinitely helpful and they are already inspiring me.
dd1 has a corner on pure meanness towards her sister. I am so weary of it.
It can help a whole lot to look for your child's perspective - beyond finding ways to be compassionate, it lets you problem solve more thoughtfully if you have some idea what the issues are from her point of view. From the pov of an older child, she's been robbed. Some other kid showed up and stole her parents, her home, her life. You can't make that other person go away but you can make life sweeter and kinder for your firstborn. Look for the specific ways she feels a sense of lack or helplessness due to having a sibling and then actively look for ways to create a sense of abundance and empowerment. For instance:
She puts up monsterous fusses when it's my 5.5yo's turn to choose videos, will choose books and videos just because dd2 hates them
Taking turns isn't working - it's a reminder to your older child that someone else stole her life. Maybe you can modify the turn taking so that she gets to choose the majority of the time, but chances are a better solution is to drop the whole idea and look for a way for them both to watch the shows and movies they want and read the stories they want. Maybe one can watch a movie while you read to the other. Maybe you can have one watch a movie on a laptop while the other uses the tv. Create more and better options than "suck it up and accept what sissy wants" - it may not seem to you like that's what you're saying, but your daughter feels it.
It's also important to create venues where one child can do the things the other dislikes for another reasons - having the pressure of another person's disapproval creates a kind of limit, and limits make things more valuable. So the very shows and movies and stories someone in the family dislikes are automatically more interesting, regardless of how one feels toward that person. It's not Just meanness which is making her pick those things - it's part of the natural reaction toward limits.
Bedtime is our biggest difficulty, in no small part because I am really tired
Can you find other times or ways to rest or nap? Do your kids need less sleep than you do? Or are you counting on mornings when they're asleep to get things done, have some time to yourself? It helps a whole lot to step back from ideas about bedtimes and think of getting enough sleep as a kind of logistical puzzle. If the kids are tending to stay up later, then it's time to rearrange the normal daily schedule to accomodate that. Maybe it means you sleep in and find other times and ways to get the dishes done (or whatever). Maybe it means finding a time in the middle of the day when the kids tend to be wrapped up in projects or watching movies or playing games to grab a nap. Maybe you do some combination of things for now, including some days being more tired than you like, until the excitement of "getting to stay up" wanes and you can find yet another, different rhythm.
It's possible to plan for and around tiredness. It means slimming down outings and doing more mellow things at home, and that's not a bad thing so long as you're not chafing and fretting about it. It's okay to have long slow days where not much happens. It's also possible to plan your days around when you're likely to be tired. For instance, I turn into a zombie at night, and I know it, so I plan for it. If there are snacks to be made or complex problems solved, I do those earlier in the day to set myself up to be more on auto pilot in the evenings. I can Get snacks, but not make them. I can watch tv but not help someone figure out how to download something or debug a program.
If evenings are hard for you, it could help to pare down your "getting ready" routine to a barest minimum. If stories are a matter for contention, that's a good thing to schedule into a different part of the day and there aren't issues about "turns". If you have multiple options for movies, so they aren't taking turns, that will make evenings calmer, too.
If the girls have a lot of energy in the evenings, maybe plan some active things they can do separately. The key is to do the planning and setup earlier so "zombie mama" just has to provide backup. What sorts of active things depend on their interests. It could be a bath, or running around outside, jumping on a trampoline, balancing on an exercise ball, playing a really energetic game on the Wii, jumping rope, playing on a scooter... depends.
It sounds like your oldest is feeling the strain of sharing you. Have you read Siblings Without Rivalry? Really good book to not only help your kids but help you to figure out what part you may inadvertently be playing in creating the tension.
*** but dd1 has a corner on pure meanness towards her sister ***
It helps hugely to see this as communication. She's not being a bully. She's trying to meet a need that she has no clue how to meet in a kind way. Life feels out of her control.
From *her* point of view you're ignoring her need and focusing on the poor way she's trying to meet it. But offering no alternatives and no support.
The more you can help her feel special and needed, the less you can make her feel like the toy you set aside for the shiny new one, the less angry she'll feel. Imagine how you would feel if your husband brought home a brand new wife because he "loved the first one so much". And what if he expected you to be the grown up wife and be nice to the new wife while he tended to the very needy new wife?
*** They have plenty of time to burn off the excess before. (Background: they have snacks and drinks at stories ***
Their actions may be saying your belief they've had "enough" is faulty! ;-) Or perhaps the snacks are re-energizing them. Perhaps snacks earlier in the evening, not so close to bed.
Some people find it helps to turn the lights down, turn the sound down, turn the activity level down to ease their children into sleep mode. But some people find what their kids really need is a last expenditure of energy so they bounce on a trampoline or something. What your kids need is very dependent on them!
*** For my part, I have come a long way from the shouting dictator, but I am still incredibly impatient this time of the day. I'm tired of being the referee, mostly. ***
The biggest block is your *expectation* that they'll wind down. They're not living up to your expectation so you're getting disappointed each evening and therefore frustrated.
The more you pull them in the direction you want them to go, the more they'll resist. If you create an environment that supports them getting to sleep when they're tired -- sorry that's a big vague but hopefully others will have practical ideas! -- and let go of the pressure, you'll removed a big factor that very well may be causing them to resist both you and sleep.
Sandra Dodd's page onSleep probably has quite a few stories and suggestions.
From *her* point of view you're ignoring her need and focusing on the poor way she's trying to meet it. But offering no alternatives and no support.
The more you can help her feel special and needed, the less you can make her feel like the toy you set aside for the shiny new one, the less angry she'll feel. Imagine how you would feel if your husband brought home a brand new wife because he "loved the first one so much". And what if he expected you to be the grown up wife and be nice to the new wife while he tended to the very needy new wife?
Your example cracked me up. Yes, I am focussing too much on correcting her behavior. I am trying to find where I can fulfill her need for me, for attention. I have to focus on this from all angles. I get a bit frustrated, though, because, just like when she was a baby, this child acts as if Everything and All of My Attention are still not enough for her. That's how it has always seemed. Turn taking (for videos) started because of her complete domination of the video selection process (and also the general mayhem for anyone's suggestion). Yes, I think this one is a bit outdated, though it mostly worked for a time. But, like I said, I have reason to think she would not be satisfied unless she had her way and her choice all the time.
Yes, I've read Sw/oR a couple of times, and it has been very helpful. The examples she uses are pretty easy, though. Mom compares, angers daughters. What she doesn't address is a kid like dd1 who sees nearly every interaction with dd2 as a challenge for my attention. It sounds like I'm exaggerating, but I am absolutely not. It doesn't talk about when a child's expectations are beyond the norm.
Yeah, my expectation that they'll wind down is pretty warped apparently, which is why I've been trying other ways of approaching it. The bedtime routines are set in stone in their eyes, so that won't change much. We do need to back off the snacks, though. Unfortunately, my sleep needs and dd1's are about the same. I get out of bed no earlier than 1/2 an hour. We need to work with the assumption that we go to bed together, or that there is quiet time in the evenings. Perhaps I can be more proactive about setting up quiet activities, but it can be hard when this is their best time of the day. If it weren't for the fact that they can't settle down in time to get themselves enough rest, this exuberant time of day can actually be a great down time for me. But, like I said, this is less than perfect too.
In my first post, I brushed off the trouble with dd1's treatment of her sister, but yesterday was just awful, and I realized that this is setting the tone for the entire day. It is really bad. We need to work on both the source of the problem and the meanness. You're right in that I can't work on just correcting her words and actions.
Anyway, I need to leave it there, speaking of challenges for my attention. Thanks for the replies. I'm afraid my first round of trying a more radical approach just flunked. Last night, very calmly (I'm at least proud I did not explode in anger and frustration) I laid down the law, so to speak. Actually, though, I think I handled it quite well. Stories were abandoned, she didn't get her ride to the bedroom. I simply just left and got ready for bed. So, perhaps I didn't flunk so spectacularly after all. It did please dd1 immensely, after a very difficult and upsetting afternoon, that the day ended with dd2 having an absolute screaming tizzy about me not bringing her her toast to the couch (she never actually asked me, just yelled toast TOAST!) She said, "Wow. I'm the calm one now."
Still working all this out.
*** But, like I said, I have reason to think she would not be satisfied unless she had her way and her choice all the time. ***
Well, if you needed 20 of something but only ever got 18, you'd spend all your time trying to get those last 2. So it would seem like you wanted something ALL THE TIME and were never satisfied. When in truth if you were given the other 2 and had access to as much as you wanted, you wouldn't seem needy at all.
So she may be asking for way more than what she needs just because no matter what she does she can't get that last little bit. (And the lack will make her want more than she really needs. It's what scarcity does.)
The more control you can give her over as many aspects of her life as you can, the more "full" she'll feel.
BUT, that said, some kids do need way more than others. Have you read Ross Greene's The Explosive Child?
And Raising Your Spirited Child Rev Ed: A Guide for Parents Whose Child Is More Intense, Sensitive, Perceptive, Persistent, and Energetic by Mary Sheedy Kurcinka
I've heard so may people say they finally get their child after reading those :-)
No, I haven't read them, but those titles sound really great. You're right in all regards-- she always wants that last 2, but her needs are far, far higher than it is easy to accommodate. Thanks for the recommendations, I'll have to hit the library.
Among other activities we did, we talked a bit more today. I asked each one, privately, what they can ask of me to make them feel as loved as the other. They enjoyed this question, and I received age appropriate answers: dd2 wanted help with her hiccups, and dd1 wants to race. :)
More work. I hope this slow start is an actual beginning and not a false trail.
My stepson was one of those kids who needed a huge amount of attention - it seemed outrageous that giving him more attention was even feasible. It helped a lot to actively offer time and care rather than wait for him to start clamoring - that took some practice and a shift in perspective because I had gotten into the habit of resisting offering attention and grabbing a couple extra minutes (sometimes seconds) of time for myself. When you offer attention more proactively, you gain a bit more control, though, which can feel better than that sense of continual overwhelm from dealing with your high-needs kid.
The other advantage to offering more attention sooner is that you actually can start to "get ahead" - and that's a Big Deal because then the vast majority of the attention your kid is getting is positive, rather than negative, so it has more value. Negative attention is hard on self-esteem, so it leaves a kid Even Needier - yikes! Offering attention sooner lets you offer more positive attention and your child feels better as a result. In that same vein, it also helps a lot to actively look for good things about your child - notice to yourself and out loud to her when she's a little more patient, a little more helpful, a little kinder. That gives her a little more positive attention And it keeps a "good kid versus bad kid" dynamic from developing between your children... or starts to break it up if it exists already.
On top of all that, offering attention sooner doesn't "cost" as much of your own energy as you think it will. You get a little more control, a little more positivity, and (and this is a big one) because your child doesn't have to clamor so much to get her needs met, you're spending less time and energy dealing with "bad behavior".
Don't expect perfection or overnight success ;) Go gently with yourself and your kids. I know it can be daunting to have a child who needs soooooo much, but I also know that even in a less than idea situation it's possible for little changes to have a big overall effect.

Over, done and dusted!
I have been reminded again yesterday, that the thing about fieldwork is that one just cannot control all variables. After consulting various weather websites, checking out wind speeds, wind directions and swell heights and conferring with colleague Simon and skipper Davy, we had to come to the conclusion that we would not be able to use up all of our survey days after all, as we simply just could not control the weather (oh well, I'll work on that for the future). We had planned to survey up here until the 19th of June (tomorrow), but the weather God definitely has other ideas as the weather forecast until Saturday is winds with speeds up to 18mph from a westerly direction making spotting of small cetacean fins impossible. So I officially called the survey over last night. We did manage to do 7 survey days with between 3.5 and 10.5 hours on effort though!
Together with the fabulous Sealife volunteers, I collected the gear from the boat, got it cleaned and stored away, mouse proof, at the Wildlife Centre. That is us done!
These past two weeks went by very quickly and some days have been quite surreal with no cetacean sightings whatsoever! A friend from the west coast who runs wildlife tours there has confirmed that he too found the seas to be eerily empty of cetaceans, so we wonder where they have all gone to…
Before I conclude this blog entry, I want to use this space to profoundly thank everyone involved in the survey (in no particular order): my colleagues Nicola and Laura for all their help, advise, kind words, encouraging smiles, heartfelt laughs and shared space, my colleague Alice for training up the Centre volunteers, my other colleague Alice for giving us her excellent car (that car was a Godsend as it ferried around 7 people!), the supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Sealife volunteers Clare, Jenny, Adam and Scott who've already inputted ALL the bird data we collected (WOW!!!!), the fabulous Wildlife Centre volunteers Kirsty and Jonathan for giving up their days off to help us out, Jill from SNH and Hywel from RSPB for helping with our cetacean rota and birds respectively, Ian from RSPB for organising volunteers to help out with the bird watching, Simon for coming up from Aberdeen to find out what was wrong with the hydrophone and then coming back and helping out again, skipper Davy for all his advise and endless knowledge about the weather and for bringing us back safely into harbour each day, Iris (who broke her foot! Get well soon!) for all her help, her kind words and laughs and for generally looking after all of us so well! Thank you everyone, because without you it would not have been possible!

Two thousand people gathered to open the Macon Branch in 1907, the 11th Carnegie library in Brooklyn. The two-story Classical Revival red brick library retains its original fireplaces, oak paneling, alcoves, and wooden benches. To author John Steptoe (1950-1989), who wrote his first book, Stevie, at 16, said he wrote because of the "... great and disastrous need for books that black children could honestly relate to"-- Macon was home.
Macon also has a circulation collection of information about the neighborhood. "Preserving Footsteps," has books concerning the history, famous locations and current situation of the neighborhood.
What's New:
Macon Library was closed for renovation in 2006. On June 19, 2008, the library reopened its doors to the public. It now features the African American Heritage Center (AAHC).
