24/7? Are your sure? If I post 8 times a day at 30 seconds each, it's about 4 minutes. Even in teabagger math, it would never equate to an hour.

Deficits continue to fall under Obama, with December showing a surplus. Too bad the admitted international war criminal emptied our entire treasury for his illegal wars and tax cuts for the rich, and too bad the GOP blocks every measure aimed at helping the economy (while hilariously bitching about the economy). Imagine what we could do.

You fail to include all the other ID's you use and the other forums you post on. You have a lot of time on your hands. Thus making one to think you're a welfare sucking leech. You support Obama and his blood sucking leeches. Keep voting for the leeches so you keep getting you free food etc. Just remember, I feed you, clothe you, keep you insured, etc. If it wasn't for me and people like me you would have nothing. You're like one of my pets, without me you would cease to exist.

#55566 Jan 16, 2014
Approx. 13% of Americans don't even have a HS diploma, and only about 30% have a college degree. Twice that many have some college, but that clearly demonstrates it still is a discriminating factor, however, foolish GOP Man. You do avoid specifying becoming a college graduate is easy. Matriculation is not the goal, fool, graduation is... so one might reasonably assume you are one of 'some college" crowd that erroneously believe they are "educated."
Keep trying, putz!

I don't know. I'm stuck with this HTC One and it's about cashed out. Never had any help from the government though. That's for dumb tea baggers, obviously:
You tea baggers lock yourselves in your gubment trailers until you get your ammo check. You're all the exact same demographic - old, white, delusionally-religious, maybe graduated high school, no college and have always been laborers.
And why do you call them Obamaphones when Bush started the program? More teabag logic.

Good one Bacon...this one is especially dim witted ...his level of maturity seems to be somewhere in the teen years with his beautiful girlfriend..hahah ...I can't even go there...its so damn immature. I wonder how ugly his mother is?
Any thoughts on that question?
She's so ugly that she makes Janet Reno look like Beyonce or someone like that....hahaha....this is the level he's on...he's probably 15 or 16 years old...and then there's low IQ...his limited vision of the world...its like he lives in a mountain village away from civilzation.
Notice his petty taunts...you know the ones nobody wants to respond to because they're so damn stupid and immature. He thinks republican women are more beautiful than Democratic women...hahaha. what a stooge...who the fckkk would even care and of course his girlfriend is much prettier than any Democrats hahaha what a blunt headed fool...this guy is either one of the dumber odd balls or maybe he's actually 15 years old. I think he might just be a teenager living at home with mommy...better not piss this kid off though because he might just throw a temper tantrum and his mother will have to give him a time out...

Subpoenas looming in New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie bridge scandal
TRENTON, N.J.-- A new investigative committee was preparing subpoenas Thursday for 17 individuals and three organizations as it launched a deeper look into how many employees or appointees of Gov. Chris Christie were involved in ordering lane closures that caused a massive September traffic jam on the George Washington Bridge.
The names on the list werent immediately released, but they were expected to include Bridget Kelly, Christies former deputy chief of staff, who weeks before the closures sent an email to a close ally of the governor on the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the regional agency that controls the bridge.Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee, it said.
#55573 Jan 16, 2014
Stupid. Don't hide the girl Chris.
Let Kelly tell everybody it was her idea,like on the emails,and she can take a slap on the wrist,do some crying for the cameras,and it will all be settled.
No. Hide the girl,get some lawyers.
Makes you look guilty as hell,and you're hiding something where you feel you even need a lawyer.
Christie,Wildstein,Kelly,and some others. Nobody wants to be the only one to wind up in the slammer.
Everybody wants to walk.
Who's gonna eat this? Republicans impeached a President for telling a lie about messing with a girl. Democrats can surely impeach a Governor for conspiracy,and launching an attack against Americans.

Condemnation of President Obama's Obamacare roll-out debacle comes from both sides of the aisle.

HealthCare.gov becomes poster child for IT reform
The botched development and roll out of Healthcare.gov underscores the need for federal IT reform and the efficient use of cloud computing, according to a pair of House lawmakers.
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said there were too many officials involved in the development of the website and no one with ultimate authority over the project.
Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., also called for the passage of the bills to help improve federal IT spending and operations in the wake of Healthcare.gov .
A technical failure in the website called into question the value of the whole enterprise. It was a management failure, Connolly said at the event.

Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., also called for the passage of the bills to help improve federal IT spending and operations in the wake of Healthcare.gov .????
Dishonorable MentionIn the course of his partisan witch hunt to hold the Attorney General in contempt, Rep. Darrell Issa knowingly broke disclosure laws.
During floor debate over a motion to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt over the Fast and Furious operation, the California Republican inserted information from a sealed wiretap application into the Congressional Record.
Disclosing material from a sealed wiretap application without a judges permission violates federal law. Rep. Issa knew that he could shield himself from prosecution by including the information in the Congressional Record, which would be protected under the Constitutions Speech or Debate Clause.

A Republican Pennsylvania judge strikes down state's voter ID law
A Pennsylvania judge has found the state's voter ID law unconstitutional.
The requirement was challenged in court after Republican legislators passed it and Gov. Tom Corbett signed it into law by in March 2012.
Witold Walczak, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania and one of the lead attorneys for the challengers, wrote in an email: "Once the Commonwealth admitted they couldn't identify any of the fraud supposedly prevented by the voter ID law, the act was plainly revealed to be nothing more than a voter suppression tool."
Corbett administration officials could not be reached for immediate comment.
In his ruling, Judge McGinley wrote that the law poses "a substantial threat" to hundreds of thousands of qualified voters.
"Voting laws are designed to assure a free and fair election; the Voter ID Law does not further this goal," the decision reads.
Pennsylvania had moved to make acceptable identification more easily available, but the law's challengers argued this was not enough.

San Diego-Coronado Bridge Lighting Proposals
June 9, 2010
Ned Kahn/Patrick McInerney Associates/ARUP Lighting team from California: It plans to use "different intensities of light" across the bridge to demonstrate the structure's connection to nature. Wind would supply the energy to illuminate turbines that double as sculptures, themselves affixed between pillars. The pillars and bases would also be lighted.

Noise Annoys
It's very difficult to get any peace and quiet round my way, even at the weekend.
Living on a new estate means that I get woken at 7.30am on a Saturday by the builders, which is soon followed by the sound of my neighbours launching their cars at 50mph along the unfinished, narrow road, or their children, too lazy to walk to the green, hovering opposite the house, kicking stones around. They're no threat, just very irritating.
It isn't, however, a new thing. After all, I grew up within earshot of a railway shunting yard, which would have been even noisier when it had a steam shed there. But with nasty noise, there's nice noise.
A five-minute walk from my house leads to the cricket club where the soothing sound of leather on willow is mixed with applause (when our lot are on form) and, more importantly, the noise of good beer being summoned through a hand pump.
This issue we have a bit of an audio theme, which for something as visual as a magazine, can sometimes be a challenge to our designers. But it's one they have certainly managed to pull off.
Richard Bradley introduces us to his sonic armoury, where he is collecting various sounds that sum up Britain, to ensure they never fall silent, while I preview Dusty Horne's Sound & Fury – a new play that reproduces classic film sound effects live on stage. If you're in Edinburgh this month, it's well worth going to see. You might even get asked to take part, like I was.
And of course there's our cover story, a chat with Sara Mendes da Costa, the current voice of the BT Speaking Clock. How refreshing it is that this is one area of British life that has not yet been entirely consumed by celebrity culture – though if we could pick a star as the voice of TIM, it would be Terry-Thomas, our cover star. I'd be delighted to hear your choice, so please let me know.

FCW readers say agencies have no excuse for not making it easier for employees to work from home
There's nothing like a major snowstorm to highlight the discrepancies in telework policies in the federal government and the rest of the world.
To most employers in the private sector, telework is a no-brainer. When the Washington, D.C., area got buried under nearly two feet of snow in late December, many people simply fired up their laptops at home and logged into their office networks through secure virtual private networks.
Many federal employees, on the other hand, were left scratching their heads. Even if they were fortunate enough to have the necessary equipment, they might not have had a clear policy on whether they should work or just take liberal leave.
Perhaps this state of affairs makes sense to some higher-ups at federal agencies, but not to our readers. Here is a sample of their comments, which have been edited for length, style and clarity.
Welcome to the New MillenniumI don't understand why, in the era of networked offices, teleworking and technology, the federal government should ever close. Are employees using manual typewriters with carbon copies to hand-deliver? What cannot be done remotely by teleconference, e-mail and secure networking? The federal government needs to move into the 21st century.— Don Goldberg
Telework? No Duh.I work in state government in a state very familiar with heavy snow. In my 20-plus years of service, we have not closed or received a paid day off due to weather. The state expects those who can get to work to do so, and those who can't are charged a vacation day. Even those who dig out and arrive late are charged vacation time for anything less than a full eight-hour workday — and we are non-union 'salaried' employees. Someone already scheduled to telework that day would be expected to do so; anyone else had better come to work.— Anonymous
The Productivity PayoffI work for the Federal Aviation Administration in the West where we don't have snow days.... Only recently have nonessential, administrative employees been afforded the option to telework. We have signed agreements and are required to maintain a level of productivity. I easily produce more work in an eight-hour telework day than in a day that I have to fight traffic from and to home.— Anonymous
Telework EspionageMany managers will only approve telework for the poorest candidates so they can point to these failures as proof that telework is a bad idea. Currently, many managers base their telework policy on old rumors of lazy employees. They want to "keep an eye" on everyone, and any change in the old "push, push, push" management technique is dismissed without consideration.— Anonymous
Practice Makes PerfectWe from the "other" Washington embraced teleworking several years ago. Just last month, our regional office held a "practice" telework day to test our systems, and it worked beautifully. Come on, D.C., you usually are ahead of the regions. Time to catch up.— Auburn, Wash.

As experts warned of the "dire" threats posed by outdated federal technology, lawmakers grilled top feds, debated workforce issues and inched closer to backing a $3.1 billion fix-it fund.
The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
Why do you keep posting comments on here that have all Federal employees looking like befuddled idiots? Look at the Patent & Trademark office who has been working at 85% productivity in the storm due to extensive use of telework. Or DISA, exercising their telework options. My co-workers and I have all been teleworking this week rather than sitting around "scratching our heads". There's work to be done. The vast majority of us civil servants understand that - and are figuring it out as we go. And many of us are WORKING.

Crews have yet to identify the pilot, but the Piper Seneca's tail number showed the plane was registered to 49-year-old Russell Mayer of Monument. Mayer's girlfriend Rebecca Baker says Mayer had been on his way to Tyler, Texas to see her.
"We were going to go to Houston to spend the weekend with my daughter," said Baker. " We were going to go to church there."
But Mayer never made it. The FAA says the Piper fell off the radar just before 7:00 AM Friday morning. The Civil Air Patrol spotted it 24 hours later. To reach the wreckage, Otero County officials had to contend with waist-deep snow using snowmobiles and snowcats. Baker says Mayer had more than 500 hours in the air. Joe Camacho, Mayer's business partner at JPE Inc., says flying was just one of Mayer's many passions.
"He spent time with his family and gave his all to the company," said Camacho. "He had lots of friends."
Baker says she is devastated by the crash, but is finding peace because of Mayer's faith.
"Russ honored God and that's what he would want people to know about him."
Otero County officials will return to the crash scene Sunday morning. The FAA is investigating.

Skip to comments.Do GenX women want all play and no work?
Posted on 05/14/2004 6:56:16 AM PDT by qam1
London, May 13 (IANS) :
'What's mine is mine, and what's his is mine!' New research says this is the maxim of GenX women who want to be housewives who don't really work.
Young mothers are rejecting equality in the workplace and preferring the idea of becoming full-time housewives - but not ones who actually do housework.
This is the overall conclusion of research among 2,100 British adults that says women are happy to abandon the workplace but not if it means spending all day at home cooking, cleaning and looking after children.
Instead they want to play the "role" of housewife with a little help from, for instance, a nanny, and someone who does the ironing. Unlike Kylie Minogue, they don't want to do any dusting either.
The report, by Marian Salzman, chief strategic officer of Euro RSCG Worldwide, the world's fifth largest advertising agency, describes these women as princess-style "domestic divas" who effectively exploit their husbands.
"Today, 'women's lib' means wanting to be liberated from the intense pressures of the modern-day working mum," she said.
"And what we're seeing is a serious gender divide regarding women in the workplace. This time around, it is the women who want to stay at home and the men who want to keep them in the offices and factories."
Salzman, 45, who does not have children, is well known in the United States for spotting trends before they go mainstream. She predicted the rise of 1970s fashion nostalgia and, on the eve of the "Bridget Jones" phenomenon, spotted that single professional women would become the new, free-spending yuppies.
Her report last year, "the Future of Men", predicted that "metrosexuals" - straight men who care about fashion, food and grooming - would be the new target of advertisers.
She said 69 percent of women thought it perfectly acceptable for females to be housewives and not to earn a salary. In contrast, only 48 percent of men felt that women should remain outside paid employment.
Her research suggested that the motivation to spend more time at home was "self-centred" for some women. "There are many women who choose to stay home out of concern for their children's quality of life," she said. "But there are plenty of others who are paying lip service to being the 2004 version of the perfect mum.
"In reality they are domestic divas who want the flawless kids, courtesy of the nanny; a spotless home, thanks to a cleaning service; and a reputation for being a fabulously put-together homemaker.
"These are the women who are becoming a target of disdain and rage on the part of spouses who didn't expect to be shouldering the financial burden single-handedly."
She said she was not talking about mothers with very young children but those whose offspring were older and in full-time education.
Jill Kirby, the chairman of the family group at the Centre for Policy Studies think-tank, said: "It's very clear that women who have the choice between working and being at home with their children still want to prioritise their home life and life with their children."

Freep mail me to be added or dropped. See my home page for details.
Like this is a trend...
Sounds about like Victorian England or the America before the civil war...
I am a Gen-Xer. I stay at home and I cook, clean, and gladly raise our daughter. My husband appreciates the home cooked dinners on the table after a long day at work. It actually makes me feel more like a productive woman than when I worked as a counselor. To each his own I suppose. :)
*Husband Ping*
At first glance this article makes me very angry, it makes it sound like women just want to be mooches. After some thought I think you are right about the "sour grapes" wrath being written here. I agree that more women want to stay at home, but they want the satisfaction of fullfilling the role of running the house and being a mother.
I say we need more stay at home moms! In my opinion it is key for a great relationship. When quality time can be spent as a family, instead of managing the stress, the relationship is stronger!
I'm not falling for that, I know better then to comment on such a story :)
A lot like me...a stay at home mom with three boys, 6,4 and 2. Sometimes I think about starting a regular, maybe weekly, thread for us moms...issue discussion, recipe swapping, toilet training tips. Do you think there would be much interest?
I would be interested. It sounds great! If you need any help let me know. I would love to see something like that on a weekly thread.
The women's lib movement has brainwashed all of us, and it's the men who have benefitted the most. The New Testament says that a man who doesn't provide for his family is worse than an infidel/unbeliever. I don't see any point in condemning women for wanting to assume their natural role. I'd love to be a stay-at-home wife, but I'm my hubby has other ideas.
I'd be interested ... I have seven kids 13 and under. "How do we combine conservative activism with doing 4 loads of laundry a day?" would be a good topic ... or "What to do with your toddlers at a FReep in the pouring rain."
Good for you!
Thanks for the ping, qam.
You are right about "sour grapes". The Feminists wanted their equality and jobs, etc...plopping their kids in daycare after six weeks' maternity leave so they could "self-actualize". Talk about selfish!
Now their daughters want to actually raise their own children by staying home and taking care of their families and they are GREEN with envy!
I don't have kids...yet...my husband and I have spent the last five years living overseas and we didn't think it appropriate to have children living where we were living. I'm back now but he is still there to wrap things up. I left early because it became too dangerous. I didn't work while we lived there, but I do freelance a little to earn some extra money. I fully intend to stay home and raise my kids when we have them. And I don't have any problem with hiring help around the house if one can afford it, either!
That's what I was thinking. Everything goes in cycles. Their daughters will resent their mothers and either be stay at home mothers, or bra-burning, pantsuit wearing, ultra-feminist businesswomen.
Oh, come on! What tiny percentage of families can afford a nanny, a cleaning service, and all the activities and accessories of a social-ornament wife? Maybe there are just enough to make it worthwhile advertising at these big-spending ladies, and the husbands who CHOOSE to finance this kind of lifestyle.
I know lots of homeschooling families with 5-10 kids, one income. I think all our husbands would be happy if we could afford more help, so that they didn't find their wives exhausted, sweaty, and ready to drink cleaning solvents at the end of the day.
Yes, I'm exaggerating a bit (about the cleaning solvents; my poison of choice is pink wine in a box,) but I think many husbands would be happy to pay a little money (if they had any, after groceries) if it meant their wives would have a little energy left for *them*.
Hi grellis. I am going to have my first child in November and will stay at home mid April through mid January.(I have a tax office.) I would be interested in a weekly thread for moms. If you start one please put me on your list. Dudley
How have men beneffitted the most? I consider it harmful to both men and women. They just don't realize the harm until its to late.
My bet is that even in two income families, the spendable income is lower than in just a generation or two ago.
Who cares what the Brits are doing?
This Bud's for you.
If I didn't know better, I would have thought my wife wrote this....
I am the father of seven, with the oldest being 13.(5 girls). I am the first to tell others my wife works ten times harder than I do.
Keep up the good work..
Apparently the Indians do
Guys, do you want a woman like this? And ladies, do you want a man you can steamroll like this? I know I don't. I want a man to be a man, not a spineless piece of flesh who's only reason for existence is to have sex at the expense of his self-esteem and self-worth.
My wife stays home, and she works twice as hard as I do.
Agreed, when two income households became the norm the economy adjusted quickly to the increased incomes. Housing, transportation and assorted costs went up correspondingly to the reduction in quality of life.
I didn't get the impression from reading the article that there is disdain for housewives or stay-at-home moms. I picked up that some of these women are claiming to stay at home to raise their kids and be a housewife in lieu of work but aren't doing the work end of housewifery. I can't blame them, cooking & cleaning isn't really fun and if you have the money, by all means hire someone to do it. But to do it under the mask of being a selfless mother when some of them are clearly just lazy and don't want to report to a boss while having their own staff to do their personal work. Just stop pretending they are so selfless when they've got it all.
Don't forget taxes!
To me the tone of it was indicating that all women not working in careers were taking this lazy way out. It didn't bother to recognize the women that just want to be good wives and mothers.
Thank you, and congratulations to you and your wife! The future looks like us!
I know of a number of "stay at home moms" who are like those described in the story. I was born at the very tail end of Gen X. These women I know in real life tend to be in their late 20s or 30s, married to men approximately twice their age. In the younger couples I know, either both parents work or mom's full time job is to be a true housewife and mother.
The original feminists wanted for women to be able to have choices in life. There are serious differences between original feminist ideals and the man-hating feminazi bull that is masquerading for feminism these days.
Realistically, I know I'll never be a stay at home wife and mother - I have no desire to do so. I'm not saying that being a full time caregiver is NOT meaningful, because it absolutely is - it's just not going to be the right choice for me and my husband-to-be. I grew up in a two-parent home where mom and dad worked, and daycare and being cared for by family members didn't maim me too terribly. :-)
Conservatives should stop proclaiming that any woman who wishes to have a career and a family is some psycho feminazi...we're not. Shockingly, some conservative women are working mothers, and are usually pretty good at balancing both from what I've seen.
Hey! There will be no picking on of the husband! :-)
Okay, this article hits home. I'm not Generation X but I'm close.
Ever since I was a small child, it was always my dream to marry and be a housewife. Maybe some call that unambitious or exploitative. But I always wanted to cook and bake all day, manage the finances, basically, to run a home. I think I'd be really good at it. I've never wanted to do anything else.
Yet at the same time, I've never really wanted to have children. Just never felt much of a connection to them. I am not permanently opposed to the idea, however.
I'm also very religious and conservative.
Does this make me a user? If I find a man who wants a traditional woman like me, one who doesn't work outside of the home, do people think there is something wrong with that? I'm not lazy, I'm a very hard worker. It's just always been my dream to do my work by maintaining our home.
BTW, of course if I have to work outside of the home to build our finances, I will. But ultimately, my dream is to be a housewife.
Baby boomer mums pioneered the tradition. The GenX princesses are simply doing what they have been taught.
I admit I am horrid at housework. I homeschool, so have four children home all day. Even if things look decent in the morning four small tornadoes hit right after lunch. I'm not talking about small messes either. When I complain about it someone will say, "If you sent your kids to school, you'd have more time for housework." Never mind that it's the two youngest who cause most of the trouble. LOL!
I was born in '71. I stay home with two preschoolers and one on the way. I hate it. For some reason it's difficult to discover one's sense of 'self-worth' doing this. My husband works all the time and we don't go anywhere or do anything except stay home. Before I had children, we would occasionally take trips, go shopping, and go out to eat because I was earning a good income and felt that I had some say in the matter.
I have other Mom friends, but they want to sic their kids on me whenever they get the chance. I feel burned out of being around little kids.
Jane Austen is my favorite author. Or was, when I had time to read books. She never married and felt that that sort of life was drudgery. I suppose it was even more so, before one could even read Free Republic :-)
My mother insists that she worked harder staying at home doing petty chores than my dad worked for 30 years in a 110 degree factory.
The catch is, my mother didn't really do all that much around the house. From my observations, most housewives don't.
Completely cleaning an average sized house takes all of what, 3 or 4 hours? Also, the house is completely cleaned every single day? Yeah right.
And this notion of "taking care of kids", what exactly does that involve? Sitting them in front of the TV while "princess" chit chats on the phone all afternoon?
On your next day off go visit your local mall, shopping center, mall, Wal- Mart, mall, or any other store (mall) during the day. Take a good look around. You'll be amazed at how many housewifes are doing "back-breaking work" at the mall during the day.
I'm sure the Freeper Feminist Hit Squad will show up on this thread and flame me.
Since our jobs are seven days a week, what do you think would be a good day to run the thread? Fridays are actually best for me; I do my major housework Mon-Wed and laundry each Thursday so I have the weekend as free as possible. Or would a weekend day be better? Any ideas for a name?
Friday would be pretty good for me ... we don't have any classes or activities on Friday!
Have you tried "Mothers of Preschoolers" or Christian Women's Club? Both of these have child care provided for young children, so that moms can enjoy some time apart.
Add me to the list if you do start a stay-at-home-conservative-mom thread!
I'm not sure it's "working harder," so much as working without a break from responsibility. An office worker, or even a factory worker, gets a break. He can go to the bathroom on his own. He gets a lunch break. He can take his eye off his coworkers, and not have them all disappear outside into a mud puddle. He can take sick leave if he's sick, and go to the doctor *by himself*. If he has to go on a business trip, or just to the gas station, he's only responsible for himself.
My husband once said, "Well, I'm responsible for the guys who work for me!" and I said, "You have to take them to the bathroom? Do they have clean clothes, if you don't do their laundry? Do they eat meals that you don't fix? What if they wake up in the middle of the night ... do you have to figure out their problems and get them back to bed? Wow, and these guys are earning a salary?!"
This is not to say that I feel oppressed about my life as a homeschooling mother of seven ... I wouldn't do it, if I weren't content. Just pointing out that to me, what makes it "hard" is not teaching phonics, doing laundry, or cooking meals, but rather the *responsibility* that you never get away from.
Part of the problem with this country is that we have delegated the rearing of children to others who don't share our values and we are reaping the seeds sown. The future of the country is the children and they will only be moldable for a very few short years. So either parents start raising their children again and making sure they have the right values or we continue the abdication of this most important responsibility to those whose values are diametrically opposed to ours and pay the price in future generations.
So we have a cycle of butt-ugly coming up?
I think that is where the term 'Ball and Chain' originated from...(Ducking for cover). At any rate, I think that is the hardest part about having kids, you can't find time to just sit down and relax (unless they fall asleep). If you don't watch out for them they will injure themselves, etc. If one defines work as responsibility, then one can see a woman at home with 7 kids out works most people easily.
The other side of the coin is time - If someone marries and has a kid at 20 and the woman opts to stay home then she can semi-retire at 38 when the child grows up and moves on whereas the male in that scenario will still have almost 30 yrs more work (and again, this is a generalization, sometimes they are more problems when 18 then when they are 3).
uh oh, I ain't touching this one.
Or any other time during man's 3 million year history. Upper-middle to upper-class women have never had to work.
Here's a great example: what did the mother of Mary Poppins' charges do all day while her banker husband was away at work? Remember, she had a cook, maid and governess.
I wish I had a simple answer for you. From your kids perspective you have the most important job in the world. Two preschoolers can be tough.
A MINE group (Mothers In Need of Entertainment) seemed to provide my wife with a necessary outlet. They went out to a restaurant or a show once a month.(Hubby can stay home with the kids)
Playgroups with the neighbors has two benefits. You get to talk to an another adult during the day and watching four is easier than entertaining two.
You might try taking your friends kids more often with the stipulation that it is a one for one trade. Being able to bring your kids over to a friends house for a Saturday evening of doing anything,everything or nothing really helps recharge the batteries.
I hope this helps.
Read later.
That would be the "cacopygian phase."

Unrest over sweeping federal health care legislation has turned to vandalism and threats, with bricks hurled through Democrats' windows, a propane line cut at the home of a congressman's brother and menacing phone messages left for lawmakers who supported the bill.
The FBI is investigating the instances, which include shattered windows at four Democratic offices in New York, Arizona and Kansas. At least 10 members of Congress have reported some sort of threat as of Wednesday, and no arrests have been made.
The brick flung through the window of a county Democratic Party office in Rochester, N.Y., over the weekend had a note attached: "Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice," roughly quoting 1964 Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater.
A New York congresswoman whose office window also was smashed with a brick accused the Republican leadership of failing to denounce attacks against lawmakers who supported the legislation. The vandalism was at Democratic Rep. Louise Slaughter's district office in Niagara Falls early Friday, two days before the House passed the health care overhaul bill.
"It's more disturbing to me that Republican leadership has not condemned these attacks and instead appears to be fanning the flames with coded rhetoric," said Slaughter, a key supporter of the bill.
House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio said in a statement that while many Americans are angry over the bill's passage, "violence and threats are unacceptable."
"That's not the American way," Boehner said. "We need to take that anger and channel it into positive change."
The FBI and Capitol Police were briefing Democratic lawmakers on how to handle perceived security threats, said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md. Those who feel they are at risk will be "getting attention from the proper authorities," Hoyer said, declining to say whether any are receiving extra security. Normally only those in leadership positions have personal security guards.
At a news conference in Washington, Hoyer said people have yelled that Democratic lawmakers should be put on firing lines and posters have appeared with the faces of lawmakers in the cross hairs of a target.
While not directly criticizing Republicans, Hoyer said that "any show of appreciation for such actions encourages such action."
Gun imagery was used in a posting on the Facebook page of Sarah Palin urging people to organize against 20 House Democrats who voted for the health care bill and whose districts went for the John McCain-Palin ticket two years ago. Palin's post featured a U.S. map with circles and cross hairs over the 20 districts.
Some of the anger over the bill spilled over in a flood of obscenity and threat-filled phone and fax messages to the office of Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich. His office released some of the messages it has received since the health care bill passed, declining to add further comment.
"I hope you bleed ... (get) cancer and die," one male caller told the congressman between curses.
A fax with the title "Defecating on Stupak" carried a picture of a gallows with "Bart (SS) Stupak" on it and a noose attached. It was captioned, "All Baby Killers come to unseemly ends Either by the hand of man or by the hand of God."
The vandalism and threats surprised a researcher at a think tank that monitors extremist groups.
"I think it is astounding that we are seeing this wave of vigilantism," said Mark Potok of the Alabama-based Southern Poverty Law Center.
In Virginia, someone cut a propane line leading to a grill at the Charlottesville home of U.S. Rep. Tom Perriello's brother after the address was posted online by activists angry about the health care overhaul. Perriello also said a threatening letter was sent to his brother's house. The FBI and local authorities were investigating.
Tea party activists had posted the brother's address online thinking it was the congressman's home. The post urged opponents to drop by and "express their thanks" for the Democrat's vote in favor of the sweeping health care reform.
Nigel Coleman, chairman of the Danville Tea Party, said he re-posted the comment that originated on another conservative blog, including the address, Monday on his Facebook page. The posts were taken down after the mistake was discovered.
"We've never been associated with any violence or any vandalism," he said. "We're definitely sorry that we posted the incorrect address."
Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, who has filed a lawsuit challenging the health care overhaul and is a favorite of the Tea Party, said for activists to post an address of Perriello's family shows that things are going too far.
"That is way over the line," he said. "It's not civil discourse, it's an invitation to intimidation and it's totally unacceptable."
Potok compared the online posting of a public official's address to tactics used by hate groups.
"This is what neo Nazi leaders in America do today," Potok said. "They post personal information about their enemies and sit back and wait for somebody else to act."
Lyndsay Stauble, executive director of the Sedgwick County Democratic Party in Wichita, Kan., said a brick was hurled through the party's storefront plate glass window late Friday or early Saturday, landing in her office and gouging her wooden desk.
She said that written in marker on the brick were the slogans, "No to Obama" and "No Obamycare."
"The tone is not surprising, but the aggressiveness is," Stauble said Wednesday. "I'm not shocked that people are not reacting well to a large piece of legislation passed by a president that they don't like."
In Tucson, Ariz., someone either kicked in or shot out a glass door and a side window at the congressional office of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords early Monday, a few hours after the House health care vote. Giffords voted for the bill.
Giffords' press secretary C.J. Karamargin in Tucson said the vandalism left the local congressional staff shaken and worried.
Associated Press writers David N. Goodman in Detroit, Dena Potter and Bob Lewis in Richmond, Va., Ben Dobbin in Rochester, N.Y., Mark Carlson in Phoenix and Laurie Kellman in Washington contributed to this report.
(This version CORRECTS Corrects to "Obamycare" in description of writing on brick.)

from on outsiders point of view i dont mind when manager make wrong decisions on debatable issues but when they do basic, obvious, commen sense mistakes then theres no excuse. for example the other nite rafa takes gerrard & torres off. he won them the champs league so he must be good but to do that the other nite is unforgivable. in my mind theovious,basic, commen sense mistakes wenger has made are,1-not buying a player with physical presence to add some steel.2-given bendtner so many chances, he will never be good enough for u.3-not buying a proven out & out goalscorer4-playing too many youngsters5-neglacting experiencethey are things i think are very obvious. there are other issues u iv seen mentioned but i but i personally think there debatable.

As of May 15th new members will no longer be able to read incoming email until they have been a member for two months. Standard members can only read mail sent by a paying member if the paid member has purchased the additional "Standard Member Contact" feature."
What they don't explain is that for unpaid members, their system automatically deletes all messages over 30 days old. So by the time a new member has been on the site long enough to qualify to READ email - innumerable messages have already vanished!
I got a gold ($30 a month) membership 6 months ago. At that time, AFF said I would have UNLIMITED email access to ALL members. But now, they've changed it so that when I email an unpaid member, that member can't even READ the message unless I pay an ADDITIONAL $20 per month.
Excuse me, but that is a limitation on MY email access!
Do you think that the US postal service would get away with a policy like that???
What if mail carriers walked past your house every day waving a stack of mail in front of you and taunting you - Oh, you have allllllllll this mail, but you can't have it until you've lived here for 60 days - and by the way - we only hold mail for 30 days, so it'll all be shredded before you get it!
They have breached the terms of service I agreed to when I signed up.

WCL's 2015 ICC team of Trevor Maxwell, Asma Kadri, and Christopher Keeler, winners of the Regional Round for the Americas and Caribbean, competing in The Hague in May 2015
International Criminal and Humanitarian Law Competitions
The War Crimes Research Office (WCRO) is seeking students (2L, 3L, or LL.M.) to represent the Washington College of Law in international criminal law and humanitarian law (IHL) competitions: the Jean-Pictet and Clara Barton IHL Competitions and the Pace/ICLN International Criminal Court Moot.
Video of our fall 2015 information session on the competitions, in which WCRO staff and competition alumni talked about the experience and took questions, is available here.
Application Process:
Students with experience in international humanitarian or criminal law are particularly encouraged to apply. Interested applicants should send us their names, year, resume, transcript (unofficial is fine), a description of any experience with international criminal/humanitarian law, and a short response (800 words maximum) to the three-part question following the below prompt:
Over the past three months, the remote island of Ares has experienced an influx of refugees fleeing conflict in their country of origin, Betos. In total, 30,000 refugees have arrived on an island of 15,000 local residents. Initially, islanders welcomed the first few boats of refugees. As more refugees arrived, the islanders became resentful and began expressing anger at the number of refugees arriving on the island. The refugees created an encampment in an abandoned resort area and the islanders attempted to wall the encampment off. Food and fresh water are scarce on the island and the small supply the refugees brought with them began running out, leading refugees to escape from the encampment, begging islanders for food and water. The islanders sent armed men to guard the hastily erected wall. Fighting broke out between these armed islanders and some of the refugees, who protested being enclosed in the encampment, and threw rocks and bottles at the men. The refugees tore down the wall and a stand-off began between the refugees and the islanders. The situation has become increasingly violent over the past three weeks: refugees have killed six islanders through beatings and by throwing objects while the islanders have shot and killed 13 refugees. Islanders recently set part of the encampment on fire, resulting in the deaths of 21 more refugees, including children. The government of the country of Ceros—of which the island of Ares is a part—has sent in its national guards to restore order on the island. Shortly after the guards arrived, a ship from an international aid organization carrying fresh water and food stores for the refugees arrived at the island and attempted to dock but the Ceros soldiers refuses to allow the aid workers to dock and enter the island.
1) Does international humanitarian law apply to this situation? Why or why not?
2) If this situation constitutes an armed conflict, is it international or non-international in character?
3) If other jurisdictional and admissibility requirements were met, could the government of Ceros face war crimes charges at the International Criminal Court for its actions?
*The application for the 2015-2016 competitions has closed. We will post information on the 2016-2017 competitions as it becomes available. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions.*
Jean-Pictet Competition & Clara Barton IHL Competition
Unlike a traditional moot court competition, the Jean-Pictet Competition consists of a week-long series of simulated diplomatic negotiations and other exercises focused on IHL and other areas of public international law. The competition provides an excellent opportunity for students to immerse themselves in the study and practice these areas of the law, and to hone skills vital to the field of international law, including negotiation, lobbying, and advocacy.
The competition is held in a different city each year over one week, and two concurrent competitions are held, one in English and one in French. One winning team from each group is selected to participate in the final round of the competition. The competition venue changes annually, with past competitions having been held in Sintra, Portugal and Charlottesville, Virginia. Selection for participation in the Jean-Pictet Competition is conducted not only by the WCRO but also by the organizers of the competition. Per Jean-Pictet rules, "In order to avoid any inequality between teams that may arise from the participation of extremely qualified or experienced participants, the [Concourse Jean-Pictet] may decide not to accept the participation of students over the age of thirty who have strong experience in law or in the field of humanitarian action." Additionally, any person who has previously attended the competition is also ineligible. For more information about the competition, please visit www.concourspictet.org.
The Clara Barton International Humanitarian Law Competition is an experiential learning competition similar to the Jean Pictet Competition that is sponsored by the American Red Cross to introduce future attorneys to the practical challenges encountered by those who practice IHL during armed conflict. The Competition involves multiple rounds of hypothetical case studies in which team members take on a variety of professional roles and field assignments. Knowledge of IHL and international public law will be tested in this competition, in addition to the ability to present, advocate, and defend legal positions to various parties throughout the simulations. 2L, 3L, and LL.M students are encouraged to apply. For more information, visit the website at http://www.redcross.org/rulesofwar/clara-barton-international-humanitarian-law-competition.

A Palestinian boy watches members of al-Qassam brigades, the armed wing of the Hamas movement, as they take part in an anti-Israel parade in Gaza City. Eight days of Israeli air strikes on Gaza and cross-border Palestinian rocket attacks ended in an Egyptian-brokered truce agreement last month calling on Israel to ease restrictions on the territory.

My bet is that Obama WILL get reelected. What other choice is there?
You cannot make a bet when you do not know who is playing. Right ? How fast did Obama appear ? One " wow " (perfect) speech (which he didn't right of course ) at one convention. I saw that live and thougth to myself why i liked republicans and he will be presi in 4 years , and voila.. Where peoples feelings are right now, any Republican superstar "could appear. It's all about saying or not saying the right thing at the right time.
If a moderate Republican were to appear, then I would consider that there is a strong possibility of he or she winning.The key is that this person would have to be pro business but socially moderate. The "demographics" are simply leaning in the direction of a more socially liberal candidate. Another "old white male" or "Sarah Palin" just won't cut it. People want moderation/need now.
Palin/McCain 2012! Yes, that *s the ticket!

When Shirley M. Tilghman became president of Princeton University in 2001, she was only the second woman to head one of the country's eight Ivy League schools, behind Judith Rodin, former president of the University of Pennsylvania.
Now, 11 years later, five of the eight universities are being led by women, including the University of Pennsylvania by Amy Gutmann and Brown University by Christina Hull Paxson, who both got their start in academic leadership under Tilghman's tutelage.
For Tilghman, who has championed female leadership in her own administration - even against critics early on, it's a welcome development.
