Why evolution could never solve aging?
Maybe aging is an essential mechanism to clear out the old and make way for the new like cells within a body?
Maybe every form of life is already close to the upper limit of life expectancy?
Maybe aging is in the nature of carbon based life and metabolism?
Maybe we genetically sacrifice our longevity to survive the stresses of competition.
Emerging Questions:
Is it that our metabolic processes are over-compensated for dominance in their sexual prime which prove detrimental for longevity?
Is it that genes leading to different lifespans are mixed indefinitely in nature that it was never possible to select for it?
Isn't an organism with a longer span of mating at an advantage?
My hypothesis:
In the absence of change in ones environment, or competitive stresses an organism would eventually adapt itself to survive longer.
If every organism is a product of evolution then there must of course be underlying mechanisms within itself to aid such an adaptive process.
Under the influence of adaptive pressure, it would encourage mutation or variations in order create successful variations and also increase the number of life-cycles and so reducing the lifespan.
Under the influence of competitive stress, the dominance would lead to reproductive success and not the span of mating during ones lifespan.
In the absence of change in ones environment leading to adaptive pressure, or competitive stresses from rivals to prove dominance. Species would evolve longer lifespans.
Just a Theory though! But it would predict that
Lifespans of living fossils which have undergone little change in time should be greater than their relatives which have recently evolved.
Life having evolved on geographically isolated places far from intense competitive pressures should have greater lifespans.
Living things higher up in the food-chain or with few natural enemies should have greater lifespans.
Life span in pair bonding species should be higher than tournament species.

Dylan FDec 6 2011: A beautiful principle of evolution is that its designs only have to work well enough - well enough for the genes of an individual to propagate to successive generations. Perhaps the sheer evolutionary costliness of immortality for a mammal has proven too much and a higher metabolism was favored as a more engaged nervous system could live long enough to sufficiently reproduce.
Although the mechanisms responsible for aging are not exactly known, it is clear that it's a complex matter involving many different biochemical factors. To overcome such a feat by natural selection may simply be too improbable to ever occur or it may need not ever occur because of easier solutions (higher metabolism = shorter life, but more strength, speed, intelligence for more reproduction = more genes in the gene pool to favor shorter life).
But, on the other hand, evolution has stumbled upon a species capable of redesigning its very own nature with the potential of reaching conscious immortality. So maybe the question is "When will evolution solve the problem of aging?"

If you read my previous post on this band, you know that a documentary about them is coming to Grand Rapids in early August.
Well, apparently so is the band. Reunited after several decades, the band will perform August 6th at the Pyramid Scheme Bar in Grand Rapids to promote said film. They will also be stopping by the film's screening at the UICA August 2-8 for a Q & A session.
To briefly summarize, Death was a band from the Detroit area formed in the early 70's. They pretty much sounded like a punk band years before there was such a thing.
Due to the tiny number of shows the band has played since reuniting a few years back, this is a rare experience.
Get more info on the film showing here, and more info on the concert here.

Bright and early every morning, Linus "Sam" Sabelka waters and fertilizes the City of Calmar's flower arrangements before going to a full day of work in New Hampton.
"I get up about 3:20 a.m. I start watering about 3:45. On a good day, I'm done by 5:45," said Sam Sabelka.
Sabelka uses a 200 gallon tank to make sure the flowers stay vibrant from May to October. This is the fourth year for the beautification project, which Sabelka started just by asking the city council for money for flowers.
"It was going to start out with 16 baskets that year. Then we had flower boxes that weren't full, so I filled them. By the end of the first year we had 40. At the end of the second year we went to different big baskets and went to 80. Right now we're at 140," said Sabelka.
People in the community donate money to the project to keep it growing.
"I get calls from other cities, what do you do to your flowers to make them so beautiful? I say it's all Sam," said Calmar City Clerk Michele Elsbernd.
Sam Sabelka takes care of the watering every day, but he does get help with creating the displays. The baskets are made by a man in Rushford, Minnesota and extra flowers purchased to fill barrels and boxes around town were arranged by a church youth group in town.
He encourages others not to be afraid to put an idea into action, it could bloom into something bigger.
"The town wouldn't look so beautiful without him," said Elsbernd.
Sam Sabelka said getting up early every morning to water and fertilize the flowers is worth it to keep his town looking beautiful all summer long.
Sabelka has also served on the fire department for 23 years, he's on the city council and the 911 board.

10 Tips to Help You Survive Bed Rest
Finally I decided I needed to find ways to keep my sanity and connection to the outside world. I knew there had to be some way to make bed rest seem less isolating, lonely, and frustrating. Here are some things that really helped me:
Sidelines is a nonprofit organization that will send you free literature about complicated pregnancies and bed rest. It will also hook you up with someone in your area who has been on bed rest. Obtain more information by calling Sidelines at 1-888-447-4754 (HI-RISK) or go to www.sidelines.org.
Start Surfing
You simply must have a computer near your bed during bed rest. Though it is not the same as getting in your car and driving to the
grocery store, library, or mall, the Internet offers you the opportunity to visit places without physically being there. It is possible to order your groceries, purchase baby clothes, and reserve library books online. The Internet is also a valuable tool for meeting other women on bed rest and learning more about pregnancy, labor and delivery, and parenting.
Get Free Stuff
The Internet has many free offers and coupons. Sign up for as many catalogs as you can. They're cheap (most are free), satisfy your shopping gene, and help you acquire necessary baby items.
Book Clubs
Not just for yourself but for your expected bundle. Most of the parenting magazines have advertisements for children's book clubs (Book of the Month, Crossings, Books of my Own, Grolier). The book clubs offer free books with the purchase of two or three books at a regular, reasonable price. I had fun flipping through the books, and I even read them aloud to my son before he was born. Sandra Boynton's Oh My Oh My Oh Dinosaurs! is still one of his favorites.

Codex tools: Log in
I'm a happy WordPress user since July 2005. I'm very interested in the technical aspects of blogging and I like to develop solutions to would-be problems.
I have created a plugin: Smart Update Pinger. It replaces the built-in update ping functionality. Instead of always pinging when saving a post, the plugin only pings when the post has not previously been published. Edits of posts are �?silent�?, in contrast with the default behaviour.
Motivation: When you edit an older post and ping a service, the service either shows your blog's URL or the latest post's URL. Never the edited post's—unless it is the latest, of course. This is misleading and could even get you banned for pingspamming unless you're careful.

Before & After: Chi's Childhood Room
Professional Project
Designer: Jen Chu
Client: Chi
Location: Fort Greene — Brooklyn, New York
My friend, Chi, grew up in this room. She moved out for college, and when she came back, the room seemed to need a face lift more than ever. The dingy paint with the poor lighting made the room unbearably drab. The lack of storage made it impossible to maintain a tidy space. Fortunately, her room had great bones with plenty of wall space and nice hardwood floors. After a couple weeks of careful planning and with a little elbow grease, we re-vamped this room in 2 days.
Prior to the makeover, the room had not changed one bit in over a decade. I knew this was a once in a lifetime opportunity for her, so I wanted to design a space that was timeless enough to be appealing in 1, 5, or even 20 years.
The budget for this project was small considering we needed to replace everything in the room, so the goal was to use mostly furniture from IKEA but accessorize thoughtfully so the room came off as luxurious. I decided on cool, soothing colors and versatile furniture pieces, dressed up with subtle glamorous touches.
- • HEMNES wardrobe: IKEA
• Manhattan Desk: Target
• headboard: DIY upholstered with ANITA curtain from IKEA
• 8 Light Williamsburg Chandelier: Walmart
• ARSTID sconces: IKEA
• Studio Trio Grommet-Top curtains: JCPenney
• Rectangular Mirror: Target
• HEMNES dresser: IKEA
• Crystal Table Lamp by Studio dresser lamp: JCPenney
• SKAR cabinet with mirror: IKEA
• EKBY BJARNUM/EKBY JARPEN shelves: IKEA
• LACK bookshelf: IKEA
• Club Stripe bedding: Walmart
The budget for everything was $3000 and EVERYTHING is new. Even the mattress, box, and frame.
Thanks Jen and Chi!

all grown up and lovely. great job with the budget. $3K, but will not go out of style because its so classic and neutral!
Nice work!
Simply lovely. Nothing too trendy to make the composition obsolete in a few years ... and it still looks like there are ways for her to easily personalize the space as she settles in!
PS. I love the nightstand - but it isn't listed on the source list! Any leads?
Great Job! She will never leave home now.
@LGarcVA The nightstand is from Target. Search "Glass Accent Table."
Total transformation - well done! In all that work, I'm happy to see you squeezed in a DIY - the headboard is one of my favourite elements in this room. Looks like a fun project to tackle with a good friend!
Nice work, ladies!!
The before pics look like a candidate for the Clean House crew, but the after pics look soothing and serene. An excellent space for Chi to start working on the next phase of her life - good luck to her!
Source for desk chair? Looks great!
Wow!!!!! It's A-MAZING. I recognize a lot of favorite IKEA pieces. You did a great job making the space personal and unique.
I wish I could get clients to understand that one room, even from BUDGET sources, can still (easily) total up to $3000... NOT including labor!
That is more than improvement - i wouldn't recognise it! Great space now.
Love it! But I do wish the artwork above the bed were bigger. Seems oddly sized.
Ikea's tobias.
Good job! Paint color?
Love the sophisticated look of it and all seems like decent pieces she could take with her when she moves - unless it was the mom and dad footing the bill.
Looks great. I'd also like to know the paint color. Thanks!
Hotel chic. Very soothing. Love the gray walls that can accommodate any decor. I'm gaga over that mirror. Bravo!
Amazing work, and deliberate.
I don't really know what to do with my childhood room because I don't really live there anymore. It has become a shrine where I remember a lot of childhood memories once I walked in...
I can't remove them in the name of development, especially when it's not necessary right now... I guess I'm a hoarder. :)
Does anybody else have this problem?
I hate, hate, hate having to reload the whole page to load another image. Get a decent slideshow player.
Wow what an extraordinary transformation. Great job. Love it. Especially love how nothing really sticks out as "Ikea." Everything looks luxe, upscale & sophisticated. Bravo!
I am TOTALLY on board w/ mstar's comment/complaint. Scrolling up & down to read the captions sucks too. I guess what I'm saying is, overall, the layout of this otherwise awesome blog? Well, it blows. :/
You can't even tell that this is the same room, and I don't mean that in a good way. Sorry, but this is not a favorite of mine. These before and after photos need some "work in progress" photos. The new color choices and layout, although better than before, are so dull and boring. I do like the bits of teal blue, but IMO there's not enough of it. And overall, the room looks VERY masculine for your female client.
great job, please share the paint color!
Very good job for such limited space. I love everything but the most Studio Trio Grommet-Top curtains.
@Pak-Kei M., A similar situation developed in my husband's parents' house. After they died, clearing it for sale was terribly difficult. After finishing that sad task, I avoid hoarding for the sake of my heirs, as well as for my own benefit now. Any unnecessary surplus that you release will help them now, and help you later.
It's nice that when she's not there her parents now have an excellent guest room.
I love that works as an at home after college bedroom and after the client has a chance to move out it is a lovely guestroom as well. I'm sure the client's parents appreciate the upgrade as well. It looks great. Please let us know the paint color.
Beautifully decorated room. Just goes to show you that possessing a good eye for design and style trumps being a label snob.
Where is that mirrored side table from? That piece really elevates the room. It's cute. But I agree more color would wake it up a bit. Pops of yellow maybe? Something happy :)
@burnttoast Progress pics are on her blog.
re: Blog and its shortcomings; I hear that they are/have been working on a new interface this Summer. Looking forward to hearing more about it!
The first thought that went through my mind was the same that others have commented on as well; the parents have a great guest room once its current inhabitant moves out.
Someone thought the colour scheme is very masculine; why? Grey and white is fine with women too.
Well, I will just come out as a jerk and say there is something really odd about a 20-something college graduate that would hire a decorator and drop $3k to renovate a room in her parent's house. Her priorities are askew.
However, the room, although a bit cold for my taste, is very aesthetically pleasing.
@HouseBee et al:
Perhaps this is a cultural thing (ie: a daughter living with her parents until she's married) or perhaps, as others have suggested, the room just needed to be updated for her when she's there, and as a guest room when she's not. It could also be a financial thing (living at home to save up for a down payment). Either way, it's not for us to judge her "priorities," and it's a beautiful transformation!
the color is Benjamin Moore #1472 Silver Chain
@nesting_fish, thanks for being open minded. I think a lot of comments are made w/o sufficient information. The whole house needed some love, and this room was the perfect place to start. A good investment, in my book, if your family plans on staying put :)
I also think it was a worth while investment in her parents home. Shoot, they probably paid for her college education. So this is a nice pay back thank you to her parents, who will have a lovely updated room after she moves out.
As for the comment about the color choice not being feminine enough. Not true. I love that color combination. Not all girls/women like pink or whatever other color one might assume is a "girl" color.
I LOVE it! Thanks for sharing the paint color! It is a little masculine but I think it's like a woman wearing a man's clothes. When done right, it makes her look even more feminine. This room was done right. :)
First off, this is apartmenttherapy.com, NOT lifetherapy.com so pls don't judge and post your opinions on something that has nothing to do with transforming and making over a room. I don't need to justify to strangers why I decided to stay and live with my parents.
I am thoroughly enjoying this room and when I do move out, every piece of furniture can be brought with me to my new place so its not an entire waste of money. A huge majority of the budget was spent on buying furniture pieces anyways.
Thanks Botany for the color comment
Chi, I live in a different country to my parents and will soon be updating my bedroom in their house so that I have a place to live in when I'm back, and they have a fabulous guestroom when i'm not! Good on you for taking the step to improve your surroundings for your wellbeing and happiness!
I love grey and white and even more so, love that you guys made it look incredibly chic on such a budget!
I really love this transformation. I have a room about the same size and layout, only I have a big closet where the bed is and there is no door on the wall across from the bed. Great work! I'm actually looking for a desk almost exactly that size. All in all, great!
Love it, what a massive difference :)
The room is gorgeous, what a transformation!
The paint color is Benjamin Moore #1472 Silver Chain (I found it on the blog)....love the color, might do my own bedroom in that.
looks good. Partially because things have been tidied up. Lets see the After-pictures with the drawers opem, stuff hanging pout, clitter on the floor, bed not made, etcetera. This is something i often wonder about. Yes, it is a nice design, but it looks not lived in.
sorry about the many typos!
Beautifully done! I would have added more of the blue accents.
I love how people post comments they would never say to someone's face.
I think its a beautiful room. and yes, it would also be a great guest room if Chi decides to move out.
i also think its nobody's business where one chooses to live. its amazing how people find it hard to understand other cultures. In India its considered rather cold and cruel to leave your old parents and move on - when you start earning it is time to pay back by taking care of them. A lot of Asian cultures work that way. Not that this is the space to be giving gyan (wisdom) - but hey, they shouldnt have been commenting on it in the first place!
you go girl, Chi
very nice transformation! i don't think it looks so much masculine as grown up.
Comments about the room:
The new layout and some of the color schemes really invites light into the room, a very much needed improvement.
Once a small looking room, the addition of mirrors make the room look very spacious
The addition of the chandelier was a bold but smart move
The room colors seem to be a little bit too much hospital like to me.
The computer desk and the chair do not match.
The striped comforter does not match the pillow patterns.
I think the dresser and the wardrobe should match in color. and the dresser is a little bit too tall/big.
Apart from that, I guess there is a lot opinionated comments here but what can you do??? People sometimes take things too personally. You put it on the internet, you are bound to have people who like or dislike it.
"Cultural differences"??? It's just a room in a house! Who cares? Why all the speculation? The bottom line is, Jen did a fabulous job and Chi is one lucky girl. As for the color of the room, all of you dissenters should take note: sticking to a sophisticated, monochrome color palette is the trick to making discount merchandise look luxe. This is definitely a job well done.
@creative license
You're exactly right. :) As soon as I'd typed my comment, I felt funny about my "speculating." I just had to say something in response to another poster's unkind/unthoughtful comment, and couldn't express myself as well as you did.
Isn't is a beautiful room though? I keep going back to the pictures and wishing that it was my bedroom. It looks so relaxing and serene. Great job ladies!
Oh wow, so lovely!
Actually, you weren't the only one who commented on cultural differences. And I didn't mean to be harsh, but I was actually a little shocked that *anyone* would comment on someone else's living arrangements. Especially on AT. Sometimes you just can't win around here. If a house is too big, it's "wasteful." People are "shocked" and "appalled" when a home has extra bedrooms, or "too much" square footage. Someone once suggested that it would be better to tear down a big old home than to renovate it--because big old homes use too much energy. So I would think that the AT community would be *cheering* when an unoccupied bedroom becomes occupied, even if it's occupied by an adult child. Go figure.
The color scheme seems anything but masculine.
I love it! Very fresh.
But I'd add a bit of color, somehow one teal pillow is not enough color for me. But of course that's just me.
Where was the bedding purchased ?
Oh just saw it. Sorry
This room is pretty and clean, but nothing special. It looks like a page from a catalog.
i understand the need to show contrast in before and after shots, but the before shots are a complete disaster.
i would like to have seen it cleaned up a little bit before taking the "before" picture"
not that it really matters too much, but it's tough to see exactly what it looked like before under the piles of clothes and sheets everywhere.
i mean the dresser drawers aren't even closed!
anyway... very nice job on the makeover.

TASER International
By Keith L. Martin The Gazette
FREDERICK, Md. — The attorney representing Frederick County in a $145 million civil lawsuit over the Taser-related death of Jarrel Gray says there are some clear flaws in the complaints against his clients.
"The suit itself ... is in fact a shotgun approach, with a variety of claims that will inevitably fail even before a trial," attorney Daniel Karp said.

Students are taking free online classes just for learning's sake.
Mehar Maju goes to a small high school in southern California.
She also takes college-level classes on Coursera with millions of students around the world.
Coursera is a online learning startup created by two Stanford University professors, and it offers more than 100 classes from 19 universities to anyone in the world, free of charge. And it's still expanding.
The online platform was officially launched this spring, partnering with four universities. In July, it added numerous additional partnerships with other schools, including Duke University and the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.
While mass open online courses (MOOCs) have traditionally existed for math and engineering classes, the liberal arts now join the club. On Coursera, the University of Pennsylvania offers Greek and Roman Mythology and Princeton University offers A History of the World since 1300.
If students submit all course assignments, they receive a certificate upon completion. According to The New York Times, the University of Washington said it plans to offer credit for Coursera classes if students pay a fee, complete extra assignments and work with an instructor.
However, the future of Coursera and other MOOCs remain uncertain. There has been a lot of debate over whether MOOCs could eventually replace brick-and-mortar colleges and universities and what that would mean for higher education.
But for now, students are creating online classrooms and taking part in intellectual discourse on Coursera just for fun. For many users, the no-strings-attached nature of the service is very appealing.
"Most who sign up and commit to a course do so because they are genuinely interested in that topic," Maju said. She wanted an opportunity to think like a college student and is currently taking two classes offered through the University of Michigan: Introduction to Finance and Fantasy and Science Fiction: The Human Mind, Our Modern World.
Jeff Stern, a rising junior at Elon University, is enrolled in Human-Computer Interaction taught by Stanford University professor Scott Klemmer this summer. He spends about 5-7 hours a week watching the lectures and completing the assignments.
"No one's forcing you to sign up, so it has to be self-motivating. The people that finish the classes do it because they are interested in the class, not because they have to count it toward a major or are forced by their parents," Stern said.
Joseph Reed, a recent graduate of the University of Michigan, worked at the university's Instructional Support Services office, and worked as an administrator for a class. He taped and edited lecture videos of Professor Eric Rabkin's Fantasy and Science Fiction: The Human Mind, Our Modern World.
"I think what Coursera is doing is sort of profound in a way," Reed said. He added that there is appeal in that there are no consequences if you don't complete an assignment.
Reed tried to make the videos plain and simple in design.
"The purpose wasn't to add in crazy backgrounds or animations. It's centered on content. We wanted it to be easy to look at and easy to engage," he said.
"People all over the world are setting up study groups and emailing each other," Reed said. "It's an amazing community."
Coursera users vary on their level of participation. Some just drop in for an occasional lecture or discussion, while others like Maju and Stern put in diligent work every week.
Internet History, Technology, and Security offered through the University of Michigan is a seven-week course that began on July 23. It currently has about 43,000 students enrolled in the class; 23,000 watched at least one lecture, 11,000 took the first quiz and 6,000 submitted the peer-graded assignment.
Stern said he believes Coursera could find a better way to keep more students engaged during the video lectures. He sees room for improvement in user experience design and strategy.
The rise of MOOCs have mirrored technological developments in traditional classroom, as more and more materials are being put online and universities are experimenting with new learning management systems. Both Maju and Stern said their Coursera classes resemble a class they would take at their schools.

HVAC 3rd & 4th floors Renovation Project
Purpose: To stabilize heating & AC in the Library.
No more blankets, gloves and knit hats to survive a study session on the third floor.
During the next year, the heating and AC systems for the library's 3rd and 4th floors will be updated. The results will be a greatly improved and more comfortable environment for study and work. The 3rd floor requires complete system redesign and replacement, a new lighting system, and a new ceiling. The work on the 3rd floor will be done in 2 phases, each lasting 4-6 months. During each phase, half the floor will be unavailable for use. Work on the 4th floor will not be as extensive, but areas of the floor will be off-limits for a few days at a time as work above the ceiling is done. Check this site for project announcements and timelines as we move forward.

A got a note from old classmate a few weeks back and she's having a little trouble with some preteen defiance. She is looking for advice from our veterans with older kids. Here is what she wrote me:
"He's 11, in BETA Club, good athlete, attractive, healthy, has a nice roof over his head, always something cooked for dinner. My oldest so is as easy a kid to raise as any child ever has been. This one is going to get the last word in even when he knows it'll result in restriction. He smarts off under his breath and he believes I favor the older one. The older one is just easier….. I don't need to correct his behavior as frequently. My little one thinks its personal."
I wrote back that I didn't have too many answers on this because my oldest is the same age as her youngest but I would throw it out to you guys for advice. How do you handle preteen (teen) defiance? Is it different when they become teens than when they are younger or just over different things — like driving or going out? Do you need to nip in the bud at this point or it will get worse? How much of pass do you give for raging hormones? (There are definitely days when I know my daughter has some hormones on the rise.)
I think a harder question is how do you reassure the younger one that you love him just as much but he needs more correcting? That is almost as hard to take as I love the older one more. What do you tell him on that matter?
Be nice. She is looking for genuine advice, not snarky comments.

Here is a tell, "My little one." He is trying to show he is NOT little.
I would not discuss his sibling with him, EVER. Comparisons are not helpful.
I would stay on top of it. Be sure he has an opportunity to make appropriate decisions (ie what to wear to school) but there are things that are not up for negociation, that are yours as his parent to make. (Is dad in the home? What is his role?)
Stay the course, otherwise the next 10 years will be VERY LONG, and much more difficult.
March 18th, 2013

Oh, yeah, and help him find something to be involved in that his older sibling is NOT.

I agree with Catlady. I had a similar problem with my older son – my 2nd child was easier. One thing I tried to do was to find positive things to say, which wasn't always easy with a defiant child. Model good behavior. When my older son got angry, I told him that we could talk about what was bothering him, but if he wanted to be treated like an adult, he had to act like one. That meant having a logical discussion. It gets better with time :-)
March 18th, 2013
6:27 am
I'm a middle child so I understand how the 11 year old feels that the parents favor one child over the other. I would suggest a hobby or sport that the older sibling isn't involved in. I know that a lot of younger children often feel that they are living in the shadow of their older sibling and/or that they must compete.
As for the misbehavior- it's normal. She could try taking him out to lunch (just the 2 of them) and they really talk. What's important to the 11 year old? What is he interested in that he might want to pursue? What does he feel his punishment should be? Here, it might be a good idea if Mom already has some in place that she can tell him 'this is what will happen if you continue your behavior' and then stick to it.
March 18th, 2013
6:41 am
Catlady's last two paragraphs are spot on. I also advise that you spend time with them individually and doing something different. Make sure you recognize what HE likes to do, even if you are not delighted to do it. As often as you can, encourage him on his accomplishments and mention, " We are all different and it is so interesting to watch you two grow up and see what makes you each tick." My siblings are different and I like to mention that too. Not every person brings the same things to the table.
Currently, I am sharing a unit on spring with children. We discuss all sorts of birds. This year, I have added a crow and we discuss how they are sometimes rude, loud and selfish. Not traits the other birds find interesting for a friend.
This is an interesting quote:
Sow a thought and you reap an action; sow an act and you reap a habit; sow a habit and you reap a character; sow a character and you reap a destiny.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
"As a parent, I love you so much that I want you to be the best person you can possibly be." Use some illustrations of how little kids do things that THEY want to do but older people see that they are wrong: cry when they do not want to wear their car seat, pull the dog's tail, reach for a knife etc. It is easier for someone older to see that these things may cause trouble.
REGARDING BABIES….KIND OF OFF TOPIC….an acquaintance posted a video of his grandbaby crawling on the floor at Target behind a red shopping cart. The child then stood up and walked with the cart. He was excited to see the baby beginning to walk and proud too. I congratulated him but mentioned that I would not let my children crawl on the floor at Target and with bare feet to boot. He replied that this is why her immune system is so strong. My thoughts are that there is no telling what is on the floor in Target. Would the rest of you let a baby crawl on the floor in Target? Not me.
We all parent differently, that is for sure! They do all eventually grow up.

Civility was a requirement in our home. If a child couldn't control her mouth, off to her room she went. She could come out when she could be pleasant again. I think that acknowledged that we all have raging hormones at times, but we must learn to control them, or absent ourselves .

A belt to the backside usually got my attitude adjusted real quick. I can count on two hands the times I had to be spanked, and I did my best not to repeat those mistakes. My dad was always quick to remind me that I was never to big to get a whipping. Take him out to lunch? Ask him what his punishment should be? Oh please, why not just tell him "Do whatever you want, I'm too weak willed to actually do anything about it." Guess what kid, your parents are going to treat you and your sibling differently. Its a fact of life, so stop your whining and learn how to act right. Instead of crying about being compared to your older sister/brother, maybe you should follow their lead and, I don't know, ACT RIGHT! Its a wonder some of you aren't at the principal's office/police station every week with the way you claim to have raised your children. Ask him what his punishment should be, give me a break.
March 18th, 2013
7:53 am
"Be nice. She is looking for genuine advice, not snarky comments."
Um, hate to break it to you but this is an AJC blog. There's no such thing as "nice" on this type of forum. Your friend should be asking advice from someone who's been there and maybe try some good old fashioned discipline. Too many parents try to be their kids "BFF."
March 18th, 2013
7:53 am
I think she needs to be firm about what is expected. Don't feel guilty. Don't try to explain why things are "different" for the older child. Don't get emotionally involved. Don't argue. Try to notice what he does well and praise him but don't go overboard with the praise. Just point out things that he does well that maybe his brother does not.
Another thing, why is is so bad that a child needs to have the last word? My family just doesn't get bent out of shape about what is said as long as the actions are what the parent wants. For example, if I tell my 12 yr old to do something and he says "UGH" as he does it I couldn't care less. I know parents who get so authoritarian about having the last word themselves that they make a big deal about it and it just becomes a battle of wills. With a strong willed child this battle is going to be greater than with a more complient child. I've always felt that if the kids need to blow off a little steam with me or toward me that's fine. It has never gotten out of hand. Everyone needs someone they can take out their frustrations on just a little bit. I'm not talking extreme yelling or screaming or hitting. I'm just sayine I'm not going to slap my 12 yr old or put him on restriction if he rolls his eyes at me. I'm just going to ignore that behavior. I don't know this situation but maybe mom doesn't always need to be ready for a fight.
Personally I'd rather my kids be a little disrespectful towards me and act right when they walk out the door (Which they ALWAYS do) than to have a lot of pent up frustration from not being able to vent at home and to take it out on other kids or teachers. Some of the worst kids I've ever seen have the strictest parents at home.

"One other thing– never argue with your child. Once you start that you will have years of arguing. You're the boss, be the boss."
Couldn't have said it better.

The youngest almost ALWAYS thinks you love the oldest one more. And the oldest ALWAYS think that the youngest gets away with far more than they EVER did. It's the scourge of having more than one child, and the constant acting up is their bid to prove their point or to prove them wrong. :-) Don't play the game. One response that makes 'em think is, "So, you want me to treat you both alike? That means you have to do everything that he does, exactly. Are you ready to do that?" First of all, stop feeling guilty for treating your kids differently — THEY ARE DIFFERENT! Part of your uneasiness with his behavior is that you are wondering if you ARE treating them differently. Yes, you are. But that's OK. When you treat them differently, it's acknowledging that they are separate and distinct people, with their own needs, drives and goals. They just haven't processed that, yet.
Second of all — part of the mouthing back is typical for that age. Usually, it's best to just ignore it. Your older one was probably thinking the same thing at that age, but decided to take the path of least resistance and keep his mouth shut. :-) Hate to say it, but "he's only doing it because he knows it bothers you." If it's actively rebellious, then you have to aim at simple manners: "We don't do that in this family. You never hear me talking under my breath to your father like that, nor him to me. It's rude and disrespectful. If you have something to say, I will ALWAYS listen, but you need to figure out a way to say it that doesn't come across as whining. Whining gets tuned out."
I also endorse finding something that allows the younger to shine on his own. Both of my kids were pretty easy-going, but the older one had an easier time with academics and standardized tests. The younger one had to work at it, and resented all the honors their older sibling received, and especially resented the "Oh, you're ___ sister!" One teacher told me ruefully at a parent-teacher conference, "(Youngest) certainly isn't like (Oldest), are they?" Well, duh! It all works out, eventually — guided properly, they find their niche and grow in their own sun. If the youngest isn't a big team sport person, consider finding them something "cool" to do — perhaps they'd enjoy fencing, or something like that. Get the youngest in a debate club, when you can – might as well play to his strengths!
One excellent book that helped me a lot in the pre-teen and early teen years was "Parenting With Love and Logic," It's a great book for clarifying consequences vs. punishment, and it helps you as a parent make decisions on what hill you want/need to die on :-)

I can certainly step back and let parents do their own way of parenting, and realize that not everyone thinks like I do NOR am I probably right all of the time … but … my opinion is … children and parents should be friends only after the child reaches adulthood.
As a few have said above, be the boss. When they start supporting themselves, you can be friends and have discussions about things but prior to that, it's boss time. I have a wonderful, respectful relationship with my parents (I'm 42 years old) but prior to me going to college, there were never any discussions or compromises. It was established early on that they were the parents and I was the child. They would ask me once to either do, or not do, something. Anything after that was met with punishment if I didn't follow their instructions.

A little religious faith can go a long way in securing a better relationship between parent and child. That said, the cynicism of our era toward Christianity (though not other faiths) requires an extra effort to overcome.
The Get Schooled blog today celebrates a Georgia teacher judged by her fellow teachers to be exceptional. And her Christian values are noted as likely reasons for an exemplary approach to the challenges of being an educator.
Too bad the lead article's author felt it necessary to add a disclaimer to his observation about Christian values—even in saluting a religiously inspired teacher's apparent excellence.
Too bad, too, that the blog's moderator initially felt compelled to keep this point from being raised in reader commentary. Religiously inspired teachers do face very real prejudice both within and outside the education community. And being human, they find strength in every bit of encouragement.
We all benefit when they receive it.

Whenever I hear or read about parents having problems with their teenagers, I always think back to Erma Bombeck and what she said about how to avoid those troublesome times: Bury your kids when they're 11, and dig them back up when they're 21, although some may argue that this is still too soon.

On some level the reaction of the parent should be geared toward the kid and his personality; there however should be ground rules about what behavior is acceptable and what is not regardless of the kid and consequences should be enforced consistently.
I think it would be interesting for the mom to ask the son, when he's not angry or upset, how exactly he feels like he's being treated differently. I'd venture to guess there have been one or two instances in which he feels like he got a more severe punishment than the brother and now all of a sudden, the brother is the favored one. This age is prime for turning something that happened once into something that "ALWAYS" happens.

A lot of good advice given already. "Don't argue with your child" is a big one. We are very authoritarian and have three well adjusted late teens/early 20s. Respect is a big thing in our household. We never said "Because I said so" but that is pretty much what we meant.
If I ask you to do a chore and you roll your eyes (our kids favorite thing as a teenager) you would get immediately reprimanded and told to do the chore. However, if you had a rational conversation where you felt you were unfairly being asked to do more than the others, we would listen and consider your opinions.
It is possible to maintain a good parent-child relationship through the teenage years, but it is not easy. You do need to give your child some freedoms, but only after they earn those priveleges.

I agree with Techmom about talking to him when he's not upset, and make sure you really listen to what he has to say. Mom said "he believes I favor the older one" — he might just be "taking it personally" as she says, or she may actually be favoring the older son. She says the older one is just easier — maybe so, or maybe their personalities have always just clicked better. Parents rarely say it or probably even allow themselves to think it, but often I think they do like one more child more and the other picks up on it despite best efforts to treat children equally (and that could be why he's being difficult). If that's the case, maybe instead of, or in addition to, finding him his own activity, Mom can find a hobby or activity they both enjoy and can do together — that might help them find a bit of common ground and have their own bonding that's not tied to or compared with the relationship Mom has with his older brother.

A good friend, whose kids are both in college now, gave me books and CDs from the Parenting with Love & Logic series by Jim Fay. It has worked well so far with my daughter and I've still got a lot to read. No one way is for everyone but the important thing is that you keep trying until you find what does work for your family.

Defiance is actually often a little worse at 10-11 than later at 16-17. Kids are just really stretching their wings and trying to determine who They are as an individual so they want to do things 'their way' or have their own opinions. They don't even the small amount of maturity teens have so they tend to be more reactive and not even try to 'get along.'
We went through some of this with my daughter who is very strong-willed. There were a few things we did that seemed to help (at least in the long run if not right then).
1 – she takes after me, so I was able to discuss (not in the heat of the moment) how being strong-willed was good and bad. I set aside specific times to talk about being yourself without offending everyone around you. I agreed that life wasn't fair and that she would be in trouble more than most just because she had strong opinions.
2 – we discussed that being a pre-teen/teen means specifically that your brain is not developed and that it doesn't handle all the input in a mature way. We discussed studies that showed that teen brains react completely differently to stimuli than adults do – needing a high level of stimulus in order to get a 'good' feeling; turning off the decision centers whenever they felt too 'good'; and using the decision centers to make what adults would consider obvious (viseceral) choices {i.e. do I eat a live roach? – Adult: NO; Teen: hmmm… let me consider, I guess… No}.
This gave us a baseline so that when emotions got out of control, we could be sympathetic and mention that part of what was happening was just teen brain. Didn't always make her feel better in the moment but it did allow her to see that it wasn't just 'parents vs kids' but sometimes 'herself vs her brain'.
3 – Humor. When we got a good eye-roll over something we said, we would applaud or ask for a second demonstration instead of getting mad about 'lack of respect'. No, she didn't always see the humor. We developed our own way of talking to each other that I'm sure horrifies a few of our friends but it works for us.
I will say that it is hard raising a strong-willed child without being too harsh on them. If you can avoid the words 'You have to…' and can give options and acknowledge their ability to make choices, it will be a tiny bit easier. I grew up feeling like the 'Bad kid' even though I knew my parents loved me. It took me many years to come around to realizing that a lot of what i what got me in trouble was the clash between my strong-willed nature and my dad's and that it wasn't that I was 'Bad' just that neither of us could give in.
Avoid any comparisons with the older child if possible. There really isn't a true comparison between an easy-going child who naturally complies and a strong-willed one who naturally doesn't. It is not that the easy-going child is actually trying harder, it is just that his personality makes complying more natural. It is a True struggle for a strong-willed person to give in on anything. ("you can't make me because I am willing to die on this hill" is a thought that goes through a strong-willed child's head often but would never even enter an easy-going child's brain.)
I suggest reading 'The Way They Learn' by Cynthia Tobias for a good discussion of different personalities/ways people view the world. It is a book about learning styles but it really is about how we take in information and process it so it covers a Lot more than just learning.
Finally, I'd suggest reading 'The Five Love Languages of Children' or the one about teens. Mainly, to try to figure out what Love Language your son uses/needs. Then go out of your way to express love for him in that language.
Remember this too will pass. Look ahead to his early adult years when you will actually enjoy his company again and set your sights on developing the relationship you want with him then now.

My youngest doesn't "grant authority very easily" as a respected teacher at church said. And I started to apologize, but she said, "No, you don't want her to grant authority easily. When she is 14 or 15 and her friends propose to do something stupid, you WANT her to say, "No, not for me. I'm not going to do it." And she was right. Sometimes I had to remind myself of that ruefully. "There she goes, not granting authority very easily" I would say to myself. "How glad I will be one day." And, I AM.

I guess I must have treated them equally badly, because they each think I favor another. One time, in complete exasperation, when one of them said, "But you don't love me like you love…" I said, "You are right! I guess you have figured it out." There was a very long silence, then the child said, "But you.."and went on to list ways they knew I DID love them. Which was kinda the point.

I lived in a "my way or the highway" house and none of us landed in jail. My Dad is still pretty much like this and I can only tolerate it so far.
As an educator, I knew all about setting boundaries but remaining flexible. My two often pushed the limits but they knew where the line was drawn. I really enjoy them now as young adults 20 and 25…most of the time. They still laugh about the stupid stuff they did as kids. I tell them now, " If I get old and crochety like _____ give me a kick in the pants!"
I am curious about the item I mentioned at my 6:41 posting this morning on the baby in Target. Anyone?

The babies immune system isn't strong from being exposed to filth.
Over use of antibiotics have been shown to cause some auto-immune problems and a weaker than normal immune system, but that's a far cry from letting a child waller around on a floor that's having the general public and unwashed shopping carts walking all over it all day.

I like a lot of the advice that has been given. What I think is interesting is the fact that parents struggle with their kids on an idividual basis (unless they have twins or kids close together) teachers have to deal with not just 1 kid with these or worse behaviors, but at least 22. I know it's got to be enough to make a person run screaming down the street.
I will add that sometimes the "You love _______ more than me" argument is used to make the parent feel guilty and back off or give in. It may be true is some cases, but in most situations it is reserve ammo. Kinda like the "I hate you" statement. Granted I would have never said I hated my mom or dad because it's something that once said can't be taken back. What if they said it back to me (they wouldn't have). Also I was terrified that it might be the last thing I ever said to one of them. I had a friend whose mom was diagnosed with cancer when I was around 8 and she was 10. It puts a lot of things in perspective for the teenage years.

My kids are little, so we are not there yet, but my husband has a teenaged daughter from his first marriage. He will tell you she is the most combative and defiant child he has ever seen. He will also tell you he is partly to blame since he and his first did wife nothing to discipline her ever and are now paying a big price.
So my advice is to be extremely introspective and make sure you are not teaching an old dog new tricks. Start setting boundaries and expectations at a young age. It is so hard to say no to a little person, but we are the bosses and just have to do it.

@MJG…under no circumstances would I let my children crawl on the floor at Target. The germs for one and number two they need to learn that the whole world is not a playground, sometimes you just have to sit still in a place that is less than fun.
@Teacher, too, John Rosemond is my hero. I met him last spring and felt like a 13yo meeting Justin Beiber. Parenting by th Book is the single best parenting book on the market.

It's always inspiring to see good and original work done with a mouse. Absolutely love the eye. I do think you should work on faces some more (just like myself), but I can't really offer you any specific pointers besides minding the perspective and working, working, working! Keep it up!

Spooky Tonberry - thanks for the encouragement and the compliments! I don't have internet at home, so I have to take pictures at my house and bring the camera to work to upload em. So, I'll keep posting real drawings and sketches, but probably only once a week or so...
I have another charcoal/chalk portrait being framed now. I'll post that one when I get it back.
Aremah - thanks! Yep, you're right about faces. That first pic in my last post was the beginnning of a page of head studies from Hogarth. In my next update I'll post the finished page of sketches. I know I need to work on everything, but having people come and comment is great incentive to keep working!

thanks for coming out!
Yeah, I was playing with my new camera and was surprised how weird the pic ended up looking.
Nice stuff - expecially the sp wip! Got the right idea working through Hogarth for head studies. Also consider Barcsay's Anatomy for the Artist (which it looks like you already did a little bit), and as one of my art teachers always told me: "Master copies, master copies, master copies!" (I think he had a fetish.) But he's right! Loomis is always a good idea too...and Jack Hamm.
nice stuff, I like some of your graphic design-ish ones. For your painting its better to use bigger strokes instead of small ones but I know you are using a mouse in PS so it could be hard. These are good though, can't wait to see what you can do with a wacom.
did this SP with a mouse in about a 30-45 minutes.

man, can i suggest some perspective and anatomy studies? draw simple everyday stuff, like your computer, your living room, the chair, the soda bottle. and render them as well. take your time, you'll see that you get better. And keep making those Self portraits... and in both media! not just with the mouse keep it up man!
