Snow Biz
"With chains, you're basically adding iron over the top of rubber to enhance your traction," says Bekins driver Steve Ross of Albuquerque, N.M., who has more than 20 years experience. "Any time you have to add iron to rubber to get traction, it's probably too bad to drive."
"I've never chained up," says Wethington, with more than 23 years of experience. "If the roads are so bad the chains are required, then it's not safe for me to drive anyway. You need to find a safe haven, like a truckstop, a rest area or even a store parking lot. That way you'll be able to get something to eat and stay warm."
"I've never put on a set of chains, never had to use them," says Bass, who has more than 20 years of experience. "If it starts getting dangerous, I shut it down."
It's often a judgment call. If you don't feel confident of your ability to pilot the rig safely through slush, snow, ice or sleet, often accompanied by strong winds that can take a truck right off the road, then as a smart driver you'll park it and notify the right people. If dispatchers disagree, invite them to call the company's safety department or state DOT for a review of company policy and applicable laws (FMCSR 392.14).
A warning: on the shoulder during a nighttime January blizzard is neither the place nor time to chain up for the first time, and doing it wrong can damage tires and chains. Videos and how-to pamphlets cannot substitute for hands-on practice. If you're unsure about it, ask for help. It's a common wintertime request. Practice putting chains on in a vacant lot before the first snow falls.
Truckers who choose to drive during winter weather will be wise to faithfully observe another rule.
"You've got to slow down," says truck-driving instructor Mark Golly of Des Moines Area Community College in Iowa. "That's just the cardinal rule. When the temperature drops and you get precipitation, you've got to slow down by one-third to one-half speed." Golly is skid-pad certified and knows all about handling trucks in low-traction situations, but he knows that excess speed can make adequate safety impossible. "If you're going too fast, you're just along for the ride. Excessive speed is the primary factor in wintertime accidents; basically driving too fast for conditions is the number one reason why drivers get into trouble."
Golly will get no arguments from smart drivers. "I'd rather go too slow and know I could probably drive faster than go too fast and find out I should have slowed down," Long says.
"That's the main thing on snow or ice: slow down," Bass says. "The freight's not worth your life or anybody else's, and it's not going to get there before you do unless you back into the gate."
"Mostly I just slow down," Wethington says. "I go at least 10 miles an hour under the speed limit in snowy and icy conditions. I keep my radio on the weather channel, and if somebody wants to pass me I just slow down more."
Winter roadways have a bag of tricks to play on drivers. Changes in the road surface – tarmac to concrete, Interstate to federal highway, main avenue to side street – can mean surprise changes in traction. "It seems like the interstates can be perfectly fine to drive on," Golly says. "But when you get on the off ramp or side streets, you need to be slowed down and prepared for slick conditions."
"If it's the winter time and you're approaching a bridge, you need to slow down," Wethington says. Glistening roadway over a bridge in freezing weather means trouble. If there's other traffic on the bridge, observe it as you slow down and approach.
"One thing I learned is to watch their tires," Bass says. "If you see spray coming up, then it's probably just wet. But if you don't see spray, that's probably ice because frozen water won't spray."

Frederick's mother, Harriet Bailey, was a slave; his father was rumored to be Aaron Anthony, manager for the large Lloyd plantation in St. Michaels, Maryland, and his mother's master. Frederick lived away from the plantation with his grandparents, Isaac and Betsey Bailey, until he was six years old, when he was sent to work for Anthony.
When Frederick was eight, he was sent to Baltimore as a houseboy for Hugh Auld, a shipbuilder related to the Anthony family through marriage. Auld's wife, Sophia, began teaching Frederick to read, but Auld, who believed that a literate slave was a dangerous slave, stopped the lessons. From that point on, Frederick viewed education and knowledge as a path to freedom. He continued teaching himself to read; in 1831 he bought a copy of The Columbian Orator, an anthology of great speeches, which he studied closely.
In 1833 Frederick was sent from Auld's relatively peaceful home back to St. Michaels to work in the fields. He was soon hired out to Edward Covey, a notorious "slave-breaker" who beat him brutally in an effort to crush his will. However, on an August afternoon in 1934, Frederick stood up to Covey and beat him in a fight. This was a turning point, Douglass has said, in his life as a slave; the experience reawakened his desire and drive for liberty.
In 1838 Frederick Bailey escaped from slavery by using the papers of a free seaman. He traveled north to New York City, where Anna Murray soon joined him. Later that year, Frederick and Anna married and moved to New Bedford, Massachusetts. Though settled in the North, Frederick was a fugitive, technically still Auld's property. To protect himself, he became Frederick Douglass, a name inspired by a character in Sir Walter Scott's poem Lady of the Lake.
Douglass began speaking against slavery at abolitionist meetings and soon gained a reputation as a brilliant orator. In 1841 he began working full-time as an abolitionist lecturer, touring with one of the leading activists of the day, William Lloyd Garrison.
Douglass published his first autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, in 1845. The book became an immediate sensation and was widely read both in America and abroad. Its publication, however, jeopardized his freedom by exposing his true identity. To avoid capture as a fugitive slave, Douglass spent the next several years touring and speaking in England and Ireland. In 1846, two friends purchased his freedom. Douglass returned to America, an internationally renowned abolitionist and orator.
Douglass addressed the first Women's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848. This began his long association with the women's rights movement, including friendships with such well-known suffragists as Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
During the mid-1840s Douglass began to break ideologically from William Lloyd Garrison. Whereas Garrison's abolitionist sentiments were based in moral exhortation, Douglass was coming to believe that change would occur through political means. He became increasingly involved in antislavery politics with the Liberty and Free-Soil Parties. In 1847 Douglass established and edited the politically oriented, antislavery newspaper the North Star.
During the Civil War, President Lincoln called upon Douglass to advise him on emancipation issues. In addition, Douglass worked hard to secure the rights of blacks to enlist; when the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts Volunteers was established as the first black regiment, he traveled throughout the North recruiting volunteers. Mo< Douglass's governmental involvement extended far beyond Lincoln's tenure. He was consulted by the next five presidents and served as secretary of the Santo Domingo Commission (1871), marshal of the District of Columbia (1877-1881), recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia (1881-1886), and minister to Haiti (1889-1891). A year before his death Douglass delivered an important speech, "The Lessons of the Hour," a denunciation of lynchings in the United States.
On February 20, 1896, Frederick Douglass died of a heart attack. His death triggered an outpouring of grief and mourning; black schools in Washington, D.C. closed for a day, and thousands of children were taken to the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church to view his open casket. In his third autobiography, Douglass succinctly and aptly summarized his life; writing that he had "lived several lives in one: first, the life of slavery; secondly, the life of a fugitive from slavery; thirdly, the life of comparative freedom; fourthly, the life of conflict and battle; and fifthly, the life of victory, if not complete, at least assured."

"Ended up not staying here once I got a look at it"
The owner was very nice and let me look at an upstairs room - she said the downstairs rooms would be too "smelly" since i asked for a non-smoking room. After viewing the room I chose not to stay. It is literally on the turnpike and looked like it would be pretty noisy. On drive-up, it looks like one of those motels that caters to people that lack stable […] housing. It seemed clean enough and parts of it looked updated, but overall quite tired and sad looking. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Staying on the turnpike, far from the beach."
You get what you pay for.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Easy on & off the turnpike"
My overall experience was pleasant. Was impressed with the cleanliness of the room, although the furniture was somewhat 70's, the beds, pillows & linens were very comfy and clean. My only complaint is that the shower head was a bit too conservative, making washing long hair a long process.Genuine Expedia guest review
"You get what you pay for!!!!"
Don't go if your allergic to cats!!! Gross pay the extra 30 dollars and stay somewhere with at least minimal cleanliness!Genuine Expedia guest review
"No thank you."
I don't have very high hotel standards, but this place was a dive. The sheets were old and had a funny smell. The place is just old and run down. It is really close to the turnpike (as mentioned in other reviews), but this didn't actually bother me much. I thought the worst part was the service! The lady at the front desk was about as rude as could […] be :{ I was completely taken back when she started snapping at me right of the bat. I spend the extra bucks on a nicer place if I was you. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Very close to interstate!"
This hotel is located right between the interstate and the toll booth. Highway noise! The check-in was interesting because the lady at the counter didn't understand English. I had to write down my name so she could match the reservation. The room was clean and comfortable. Bathroom had no vent fan though, so we needed to open the bathroom window to […] allow the steam to escape. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Pleasantly surprised."
After reading some of the reviews here, I wasn't sure what to expect. I'm glad I took a chance. The room was clean and spacious, the staff friendly, and our stay pleasant. The location was convenient, right next to the turnpike. If your easily disturbed by traffic noise, this wouldn't be the place for you. I'll be back.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Affordable alternative"
Slightly below average motel. It was convenient because it was right off the highway but at the same time the highway noise was moderately loud. Some reasonable updating to this motel would be flattering. On a good note there were plenty of towels.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Clean, courteous, no frill"
We were looking for an inexpensive, yet clean and safe place to spend the night near Kennybunkport and this filled the bill. However, if you're looking for the Four Seaon's this isn't the place for you.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Scary place to stay"
The only thing nice about this place was the kind lady at check in. Otherwise it's a no stay, no way!!! Freeway right there no guard rails! Can't believe my husband booked this. Never again!!!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Pleasantly surprised"
I didn't expect much due to last minute booking and the name, however the room was quaint and clean. I would stay here again. Cozy, cute, and convenient to 95. Only 15 MINUTES TO OOB.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good price compared to the rest in the area"
A friend was having their wedding at a resort in town and rooms were $450 a night. This motel was only six miles away, so I was fine saving the money staying here. However, the first room I was in was filthy and old and not updated. The second room, with the king bed, was much better.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Convenience above all=near to beach towns"
Good price...old-fashioned motel that is quite serviceable.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Bring your own bedding"
Otherwise room was clean. Weird bad smell in hallway when you walk by,that any normal owner would have rectified at this point. Stay on the second floor if u have a choice because of the turnpike noise, you have the hallway that gives you a little buffer. Sturdy vintagy furniture and everything was working, but tacky with newer purple art for example. […] Handy little fridge and old tv, but it works. Mattress would not be accepted at Salvation Army, bedding cheap, old and awful. I wouldn't stay here with my girlfriend. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Dated but clean."
The Turnpike Motel is convenient for quick off/ on highway travel. Don't stay here if road noise bothers you. The decor is dated but clean and has some unique features. Staff was accommodating. Not a lot right around it, but not a far ride to restaurants, etc.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"A good value"
The first room we were given smelled heavily of smoke even though it was non-smoking. The owner kindly and quickly moved us to a different room, no questions asked. The second room was much better and very clean.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"On the highway"
The staff was extremely friendly... but overpriced.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"If you must get off the highway"
You could not get any closer to I-95! Need I say more,.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"It served its purpose"
Since we weren't expecting a lot, we basically got what we paid for. It wasn't extremely close to our target area, but closer hotels were much more pricey. We didn't find noise to be a problem at all. It worked out fine for us, but we probably wouldn't recommend it to friends. It could be a very cute place, but is generally in need of repair.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not bad, but probably never again"
First reaction to the place? "OH HECK NO!" The place looked old and just... off. There was an old, closed up smell in the hall and I was sure the room was going to be horrible. But I was wrong. The room was clean, the bathroom was clean, the sheets were clean and the room smelled fine. I'd probably pick something a bit nicer if I'm ever in that area […] again though. It was nice that it was right off the highway and we didn't really hear the trucks go by at all. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convenient for overnight when traveling"
Turn off highway is sharp. Miss it and you end up in rest stop. Had to go another few miles and come back and almost missed the sharp turnoff again. Staff was very pleasant and I slept well. Note the 11AM checkout!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Ok for an overnight"
Huge room. Dated decor, but interesting. Mix of wood, flowered theme, etc. Very nice wooden block counter. Had a couple of older chairs in the room. Right off turnpike...easy to get back on. Rate was lower than others around, probably about right.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Much nicer than expected"
We were expecting a standard roadside motel. Instead, we found a very well maintained room with a mix of rural Maine touches (solid wood bar, oversized wooden desk) and modern Scandinavian design (bathroom, bed). The woman that runs the motel is also friendly and helpful.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice stay. Why pay more?"
The motel room had the A/C when I got there. The room includes a mini fridge. The bathroom had shampoo (unlike Motel 6). It's right off the highway, but in a residential area so you will have to drive to get food. Noise from the nearby highway wasn't bad, but I'd suggest to bring earplugs. I would stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"to far from beach"
with not having a key until late so we could not even unpack was not so nice!Genuine Expedia guest review
"The Dump"
This is one of the worst places I have stayed at. It was totally filthy and smelled. Needs to be painted and refurbished. Also was very noisy.Genuine Expedia guest review
"A Solid Stay"
It's an old hotel with no frills. But it provided a clean, spacious room, beds that were comfortable and the lady at the desk was very helpful and courteous. We arrived shortly before 1am and woke the poor woman up but she was most accommodating and helpful to us. I don't need bells and whistles and everything I needed I received.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Back to the 50's"
Never met the manager "HY" The girl that cleaned tried to make us comfortable. Beds need new mattresses . Rooms were veryyyyyyy noisy from traffic.. Hotel /motel needs MAJOR facelift. it was a travel back into the 50's. Now I understand why so cheap. Was good enough for 2 nights. Weren's in room that long.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Convience only"
Not at all what I expected. Had reserved a room that was suppose to have king size bed and ended up with a double. Was told that they do not have any king size beds.... only double in the whole place. Advised that was advertised as king and paid more for it ... no adjustment was made.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Just fine, for a budget motel"
The room was clean and comfortable; everything worked. The only problem was a high whining noise seeming to come from the next roomGenuine Expedia guest review
"Nice overnight stay"
motel is old and could use some updating but a pleasant overnight stay. Front desk lady was very friendly and helpful. would stay again.Genuine Expedia guest review
Worse place I've stayed in a very long time...the phone didn't work..the outlet in bathroom didn't work...no ashtrays in a smoking room...the sheets had stains on them,that certainly washn't what I had expected..the fridge was turn off...Wouldn't recommend this motel to anyone...They really need to upgrade if they want to stay in business...Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Below expections"
Room was acceptable. Shower did not function properly. Hotel was located next to freeway some distance from any facilities. Hotel surroundings were unattractive. Low cost did not compensate for experience.Genuine Expedia guest review
"One Nighter"
We went overnight for a wedding in Kennebunkport. Being the fact that it was midsummer and a Saturday, most hotels in the area required a two night minimum and were a bit pricey. This hotel was fine. It was clean and served the purpose, a place close to wedding, for us to sleep. There was nothing fancy about. The highway was right behind the hotel and […] the toll booth was in front of it. We were not disturbed or woken up by either factor. The family that run it were very pleasant. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Very disappointing stay"
We were told it was a nonsmoking room but it smelled horribly of smoke. When we complained to Expedia they called the hotel. The owner offered to put us in another room but after showing us the other rooms they smelled of smoke also. The owner said he can't be responsible for what people do in his rooms, but we feel they should clean rhe rooms thoroughly […] after discovering people smoke in them before they sell them as nonsmoking rooms. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Hotel is very dated.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
we arrived at the hotel and the 80's facade was a little surprising but the manager on duty was very friendly. our room was still obviously done in the 80's but it was clean and the king bed very comfortable, walls were solid and noise was impenetrable.Someone spent a lot of money on this hotel back in the day its solid if stuck but I would use it again.The […] cats are beautiful if not so friendly, sort of like Grumpy Cat. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"ok, but would not go back"
It was ok, the noise is not that bad once the a/c is on, but the place is not really clean, or it doesn't seem to be. The lady was nice, but i'm not sure I would go back....Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Pleasantly surprised!"
Judging from previous experience in motels we were pleasantly surprised by the room as it was big & comfortable. We stayed for eight nights and got more than we expected. Sheets & towels were changed every day. The personnel was very helpful and always ready to accommodate all our needs.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Paid less for better"
Do not book here. The owner/operator does not know how to use a computer, so they will not know you are coming and you may not have a room waiting for you. We booked a non-smoking king deluxe room with free wifi. We showed up, and the lady at the desk had no idea who we were. This had obviously happened many times before, because she gave us one of […] the last remaining rooms without any hassle. The room had one double bed, no working phone, no wifi, was run-down (stained walls, roof), bathroom door wouldn't stay closed, etc. The worst: the room reeked of cigarette butts (as did us and our stuff when we left the next morning as soon as we woke up). We had no way of contacting hotels.com either to cancel or correct, as our room phone didn't work and we were on a roadtrip so using our cells would have cost more than the room.

"Très grande chambre !!!"
Le GPS a dépassé l'hôtel, heureusement j'avais vu les photos en réservant la chambre. La chambre est tout simplement super grande et le style est vraiment à l'ancienne. À l'entrée, il y a un placard et un bar avec des tabourets ainsi qu'un réfrigérateur et un micro onde. Ensuite, un lit king, deux tables de chevet, un bureau et un fauteuil, la salle […] de bain est juste en face du bureau. La climatisation est encastrée comme en France lol. La télé est en revanche comme la décoration a l'ancienne, un écran plat certes, mais de petite taille. Oui , j'y retournerai car l'espace disponible dans la chambre est un vrai luxe à petit prix ! Oui, il y a un péage pour aller vers Portland juste en face de l'hôtel mais 1$ de péage ce n'est pas la fin du monde. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"À éviter"
J'ai réservé un mois à l'avance via votre site, une chambre non-fumeur avec lit king. Quand je me suis présenté la dame de la réception m'a dit qu'il n'y avait pas de chambre non-fumeur de disponible. Elle nous a donc remis des clés pour une chambre fumeur avec 2 lits doubles. Finalement, j'ai dû échanger de chambre avec un autre visiteur. La réception […] sent la litière de chat. La chambre sentait le vieux chalet et le lit dur comme de la roche. De plus, le motel est adossé à une autoroute. C'est très bruyant. À éviter! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Vieux mais propre"
Malgré l'aspect délabré de l'immeuble (j'ai eu un peu peur quand je suis arrivée), les chambres aux commodités de base sont très propres. Le motel est situé directement à côté de l'autoroute 95 ce qui est pratique pour les déplacements mais cette location s'avère bruyante à cause du trafique.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Another's Expectations
- Monday, November 25, 2013
There is little more challenging than trying to please others. Undoubtedly you've noticed that most people have opinions and many aren't afraid to share it with us. They have opinions about where we should live, how we should live and even with whom we should live. If we're not careful, these mental intrusions can create inner chaos. We confuse outer voices with our true desires and wishes. We begin to doubt ourselves. Be careful to set healthy boundaries so that people know when they can, and cannot, share their opinions about our lives. My suggestion is that others do this by invitation only.

Who's a Legal Rebel?
The revolution is in your head
Who's a Legal Rebel? In these times of great economic chaos lies great opportunity.
The legal profession struggled through a tough economy and is undergoing a structural break with the past. There is a growing consensus that the profession that emerges will be different in fundamental ways from the one that entered it.
More and more lawyers aren't waiting around for change. Day by day, they're remaking their corners of the profession. These mavericks are finding new ways to practice law, represent their clients, adjudicate cases and train the next generation of lawyers. Most are leveraging the power of the Internet to help them work better, faster and different.
The Legal Rebels project is profiling these innovators and describing the changes they are making. It's telling their stories in the ABA Journal, on this website and through a variety of social media channels using text, images, and video.
There are currently 81 profiles of Legal Rebels online. In 2013, we're adding 10 more, highlighting innovators throughout the legal profession.
The first of these profiles will appear here in August. Two will be added weekly through the end of September.
Readers can participate by discussing the issues raised by the project in the ongoing New Normal column.
Join the innovators who are remaking the legal profession. The revolution is in your head.

Primacy of conservation laws
View Single Post
Nov9-12, 03:46 AM
Sci Advisor
Your reasoning is essentially correct, and that kind of thinking is part of what got us from Newtonian Mechanics to more advanced physics. If you look at Lagrangian Mechanics, Classical Field Mechanics, or Quantum Field Theory, you deal primarily with energy and momentum - the conserved quantities. Forces can be extracted from solution if you need them, but the concept of a "force" is not directly used in solving a problem.
If you look deeper, into things like Quantum Electrodynamics and Quantum Chromodynamics, you see that even conservation laws aren't fundamental. What's fundamental are certain symmetries. From each fundamental symmetry arises a conserved current and gauge fields that carry forces. So you end up with both conservation laws and forces as a consequence of symmetries. The mathematical formulation of this comes from Noether's Theorem.
In classical physics, invariance of the laws of physics under translation gives you conservation of momentum. Under time - energy. Under rotation - angular momentum. Since only global symmetries are considered, you don't really get a gauge field.
In Quantum Electrodynamics, the U(1) local symmetry gives you both the conservation of electrical charge and the electromagnetic forces that couple to this charge.

Wedding Hair Extensions: Do's and Don'ts
Posted February 12, 2014 by EmmalineBride | ♥ 6 Comments
I've never had hair extensions, but the idea of using them has always intrigued me. Luckily (or unluckily, depending on what style I'm going for) my hair grows extremely fast, so I've never considered adding hair extensions to my 'do. However, hair extensions aren't just for length: they can add instant oomph and volume to any wedding hairstyle, whether you wear it up or down. After receiving an 'Ask Emmaline' wedding advice request last week regarding the topic, I've made it my mission to jump head-in to this topic, so to speak. Victoria asks us, "I was wondering if you have any suggestions of clip in hair extension pieces for weddings. I'm planning on DIYing my hair. Do you know of any good wedding hair extensions that won't break the bank? Thanks, Emmaline!" Great question, Victoria! In today's post, we're sharing hair extension do's and don'ts, amazing finds for hair extension clip-in pieces, PLUS we're giving away a pretty accessory for your hair (whether au naturale or with extensions in place). Read on to begin!

How to Get More Volume in Your Hair
Posted September 26, 2011 by EmmalineBride | ♥ 10 Comments
Have you ever wondered how to get more volume in your hair? Today we're going to show you how to achieve that thicker, fuller look for your wedding day – and beyond – with a few of our favorite tutorials. I have always admired voluminous hair in magazines and photo shoots wishing that I, too, had lustrous, voluminous hair. Then I realized something: I can keep wishing for more volume or I can make it happen. Voluminous hair is the result of a few key essentials like a good diet (high protein can lead to healthier, thicker hair with less breakage), plenty of H20, proper blow-drying techniques (here's a video to get you started), plenty of hairspray, and abundant amounts of teasing, product-applying, and styling. If you're opting for a bridal veil alternative, keep in mind that your hair will have nothing to hide behind. If you don't want your hair to go from fabulous to flat as you walk down the aisle, be sure to give your hair plenty of lift. So, now, let's show you how to get more volume in your hair with these tutorials PLUS a few hand-picked bridal headbands perfect for sporting your voluminous new 'do. Enjoy!

Post-baby, friend's behavior has been awful. How do I deal?
May 20, 2010
Friend has changed significantly after having a baby. Is this normal? How can I continue to be supportive when she's difficult to be around?
A very close friend had a baby in October of last year. Since the birth, she has become increasingly bossy, demanding, and selfish, to the point where it's unpleasant to be around her. Examples of the behavior that's bothering me:
- Demanding that I carry something, bring her something, hold something, do something for her, etc. Never a please or thank you - just the demand.
- Even if it's just the 2 of us spending time together (or the 3 of us, counting baby), she thinks nothing of texting other friends or talking on her cell and ignoring me, sometimes for extended periods of time.
- Talking down to others, criticizing appearance, behavior, choices, etc. Making fun of others. Bringing up embarrassing things that have happened to other people in the past and making them the butt of jokes. Good-natured teasing wouldn't bother me so much, but sometimes she can be genuinely hurtful or cruel.
- If we're out in a group and there's a line, she gets in front of all of us. If we're riding in a car together, she always takes the front seat. If there's only one of something left, she'll take it. (This sounds excruciatingly petty, and perhaps it is - it's just that she consistently acts as though she deserves the "best" of whatever there is, regardless of others. Perhaps it's the inconsiderateness that's bothering me. Or maybe I'm just being petty.)
These are just a few examples of her self-centered behavior. My main concern is that, while she's always exhibited these traits to some degree, they've become increasingly amplified since she's had the baby. Is this "normal" or has anyone else seen this (or gone through it themselves)? Is this just a reaction to stress? She does have a full-time nanny who works 50 hours/week, plus family who typically watch the baby during part of the weekend, but I realize simply having a child, regardless of how much time you actually spend caring for it, can be extremely demanding and stressful.
We've been friends for years and I don't want to lose or damage this friendship if this is just a phase. How can I be supportive even though her behavior is driving me crazy?

It could be a bunch of things. She might just be tired. She might be kind of depressed. She might be a jerk. Any of these may or may not be attributable to the baby.
Maybe you could switch from the general viewpoint of 'she's acting like an asshole' to addressing specific things when they come up, either by mild joking like ("my lady, to the front of the line!" or whatever) or direct address ("I was going to eat that!")
I don't think the baby thing necessarily has to enter into the figuring.
As to is it normal -- no, I don't think so, but that doesn't make it abnormal either.

Actually...I can be pretty self-centered and probably got worse after having a baby. I know I was a jackal while pregnant. Baby's two now and my self-centeredness has settled at its mildly appalling pre-baby level.
I think that's a personal thing though -- about individuals -- not baby-making.

I've seen it happen before. In my example having the kid somehow released the emergency break on her rampaging narcissism and hyperfocused self-centeredness. I decided that there was no point in supporting people like that so I just walked away.
You'll be fine. Just decide what you need to put up with and what you don't and make a choice. I don't see it as a phase, just an exposure of what lay underneath this whole time.

It's a huge change and there are a lot of hormonal things too.
Tell her when she's being an ass to cut it the hell out. Have you said anything? If not, she might be in her own little world, a little depressed, whatever and not realize how much of an asshole she's being.
So communicate, don't let it all build up like this, the first time she texts when you're there say "uh, hello, I'm right here" or whatever.
Give her the chance to shape up before you boot her or flip out at her in a paroxysm of pent-up rage.

I'd say that it's pretty normal that behavior changes in people who become parents for the first time. Certain traits that were always there might amplify, or they'll only talk about babies, they'll become more organized (because they have to) and so on.
However, some of the behavior you describe is
a bad influence on her child
, and a good friend would call it out. Especially criticizing other people. That kid will suck everything it sees around him up like a sponge, might develop their own issues due to hearing such things and/or turn into a brat as it follows that rolemodel.

My wife gave birth in Jan. I haven't noticed any behavior like this but she was never like that in the first place.
It sounds like your friend is feeling unappreciated now that she has a baby. As you said having a child is extremely demanding. It sometimes feels like your sole purpose is to take care of the child. Your own identity can be pushed to the side. It sounds like this is what your friend is feeling and her amplified behavior is her trying to feel like herself again (you did say she already had many of these traits). Maybe she's being inconsiderate because she has to be so considerate with the baby all the time and it feels good for her to just not care for a while. Of course that is no excuse for her behavior but I think maybe you can deal with her better if you can see where she's coming from.
As for how to be supportive while she's acting like this, what about just not hanging out with her so much right now? Maybe just keep in touch with phone calls and emails and only see her once in a while for a few months.

This entry could pretty much be written about my sister. She became IMPOSSIBLE for me to be around after she had the baby. She seemed to think pretty damn highly of herself for creating a life (warranted or not, I don't know, but I know lots of people do it everyday, so...)
I have no easy solution for you, except to tell you that based on my experiences with her, this shift in attitude appears to be normal. My sister finally started to chill out about it when the baby got to be around 2.5. She's never completely gone back to pre-baby attitude though.

There is always a chance that these two things are more corollary than causal.
I know the ugliest parts of my personality gain power while I'm stressed/depressed/tired. As you say she was always this way, now just more so. She could simply be acting poorly because of bigger life pressures, now that's shitty and maybe you want to not be around her so much. But it's not necessarily a new mom thing.
datapoint: I knew two people who had babies at the same time, one i despised, one i cherished. The Despised relative became a really nice balance guy. The Cherished family friend became someone I cannot tolerate.

I think this is exactly it. And, moreover, it's clear that you have a pretty healthy appreciation for the new level of stress and changes she's experiencing right now, so I wonder if you're holding back when you
be speaking up--like, if she's on her cell phone and ignoring you, you could say say, "I'm going to go now, let's get together at a time that's more convenient for you," and leave, or if she says something cruel, you could say, "Wow, that's a really ugly thing to say about a friend." Being a mom isn't a pass to be mean to people and still keep them around as friends. You don't owe it to her to passively accept her rude behavior, baby or not.

It may be helpful to remember that your friend is coming out of a ~1.25-year stretch where selfish behavior like this was likely either expected or actively promoted by those around her. During pregnancy and early-momhood, everyone tells you, "You're carrying a baby/just had a baby-- your needs come first! Take care of yourself!" People
you the last seat on the train, the last cupcake on the platter, etc. If those around you aren't going out of their way to help you, then you're supposed to make no bones about enlisting their help-- and there's nothing wrong with that, because you're understood to be in an extreme situation, deserving of special accommodations from others.
Especially if your friend was naturally inclined this way to begin with, she may be having trouble letting go of her erstwhile role as universal centre of attention and deserving recipient of others' solicitude and help. I wouldn't assume that this is permanent; just go ahead and set boundaries for her, feel free to take that last cupcake if you really want it, and she may snap out of it over time.

A couple of things you said sounded to me like she might be insecure about her parenting/being a parent, and overcompensating by exerting control/dominance in other areas of her life.
As for the "taking the best of everything," people are generally AWESOME to you when you're pregnant or have a tiny infant and leap to for the chance to hold a door, give you the most comfortable seat, carry something for you, etc. I sort-of missed that as my baby grew out of infancy and I was back to being just normal me. It was nice to be without the restrictions of pregnancy and early infancy, but at the same time I sort-of missed how much I got to see the AWESOME side of everybody, and how special everyone made me feel. (My coping strategy: Realize I am not actually the center of the universe, and focus on showing others in need MY awesome side so they can also have the awesomeness.) I really, honestly felt like I saw a whole depth of everyday compassion and kindness and generalized awesomeness in the rest of humanity that I'd never seen before when I was pregnant/with infant, and it made my heart happy. For me, that's been something I've carried forward and tried to remember and share and notice (it's there! if you look!), but I know some women, often a little more self-centered than average, for whom the solution is to get pregnant repeatedly because they like how they're treated when pregnant!
I don't have any good ideas for you about how to fix it if it's either of those things, though.

A thirding of this.
Also, it may be a good idea to keep in mind that even the most clinical/dispassionate observations are subject to personal bias. She ignores you to text friends. Can you say for certain that she always does this? Didn't do it before? Does it more now? Are there other reasons she may do it more now than before? Did one thing tip you off, and now you are looking for more instances of selfishness than "before"? When does this "before" start, is it exactly related to giving birth? A common logical fallacy to call on is a recollection of a "past" being better than the "present" (eg, "this country used to be so great, but now X is ruining everything") It is something that may intuitively seem true, but does not always stand to logical analysis.
It's possible that your own perceptions/biases are in play here, which is fine and well, we are talking about your friendships after all. If she has been a good friend to you, it may be worth reconsidering your conclusions before making any choices with lasting consequences.

I think that the best thing you can do as her friend is to nip this in the bud, ASAP. React when she does it. Don't let it fester until you need to have a
You don't have to be a jerk about it, of course. I'd start out with "hey, what's with the bossy thing?" and move pretty quickly to "whoa, are you okay, or is stress and stuff getting to you? Because that was kind of seriously bitchy-sounding and not like you."

I do think a big part of it might be that, now that she's actually had the baby, she's not getting quite as much attention as she used to and people aren't going out of their way quite as much to do things for her. She had a very difficult delivery and was actually in the hospital for about a week, then was quite weak for about a month afterwards, so had (and needed) people waiting on her hand and foot for awhile. I'm sure she enjoyed the extra attention & the feeling of being spoiled (as would I!). I don't doubt that it's hard to go back to normal (or the new, post-baby "normal") after that!
Thanks also for the perspective. I'm sure my own bias is affecting this in some way, I'm just not sure yet to what extent. I do not have children, so I'm not able to truly sympathize.
I'll definitely start speaking up when she acts this way. Not sure I'd be able to do that right now without snapping, so I think I'm also going to take bingwah's advice and see her a little less often until I'm sure I myself can behave and not bite her head off.
Again, thanks for the replies. She's only the second close friend to have a baby, and the first didn't act this way at all, so this is a learning experience for me!

It occurs to me that this might be a little bit backwards. If I could play armchair psychologist for a moment/put myself in her shoes:
Being waited on because you're literally too weak to take care of yourself after having a baby, while your body and mind are pushing brand-new versions of maternal concern buttons
, could be really, really frustrating.
Especially since well-meaning friends and relatives inevitably try to lighten the mood by say things like "oh, at least you're being waited on hand and foot" while you're thinking "GRAR THIS TEAR AIN'T LUXURY, BITCHES." So maybe now she'd like to get that alleged spoiling she got immediately post-baby.
When people lash out at their friends, it's very frequently due to insecurity, in my opinion. Maybe she's being really hard on herself and taking it out on her others, and the the best thing for her is a little straight talk from her friends.

I'm not sure if there's a father involved or not, but keep in mind that this behavior can happen on the father side of things as well, which may be encouraging her bad behavior.
Just decide what you need to put up with and what you don't and make a choice.
This sounds like a good idea. Some corrective statements might be in order, but keep in mind that it may be a temporary state that will wear off in couple of years.

After reading about her hard delivery I just wanted to drop in for a bit.
I had a really hard time after my first child was born, I 'bled too much' (hemoragged, but nobody told me until much later) and had to spend some extra time in the hospital. In the following weeks I had a hard time with mastitis (milk duct infection) and problems breastfeeding. I was so out of it that I hardly remember the first few months of her life. By the time she was six months old I'd been diagnosed with severe Postpartum Depression. The only reason I was diagnosed is that my husband recognized the signs from his mother's struggle and insisted that I see a doctor. The thing that finally clued me in was when I realized that I was trying to figure out how to crash my car so that I would survive but be injured enough that I could go back to the hospital so that somebody could take care of me again.
If you think this is just a facet of her personality that she's stopped reigning in, then by all means ignore it or call her out on it. But if this is a serious personality switch for her, maybe you should look a little deeper. Can you talk to the father of the baby? If he's noticed things are off too, maybe he can get her to talk to a doctor.

Good point, desuetude. I'm sure she would much rather have been healthy and capable of doing things for herself than be unhealthy, weak, and waited-on.
TooFewShoes, I don't think it's a drastic personality change - she's always had these traits to some degree - we certainly all have flaws - but they've been remarkably amplified lately. I have noticed that it's caught the attention of her husband (the father), because he's actually called her out on the bossiness, texting in front of others, etc. He's never done that before (or, at least, never done it in front of me). So, that's significant. I will definitely begin to speak up and if I do notice any dramatic changes, I'd feel comfortable speaking to her husband.
Thanks again for the perspective!

They'll be climbing the castle walls to get to this royal cake.
Cut one cake into four equal pieces and arrange three of them atop the four whole cakes, as shown, securing with icing. (Tip: Cut up the extra cake piece for nibblers.)
Frost the castle and cones with the white icing, then sprinkle the cones with edible glitter and set them on the castle.
With a pastry bag, create pink icing corner pillars and a door with mini jawbreaker studs.
Set the gumdrops and Good & Plentys around the castle ledge, then add decorative loops of gel icing and the mini candy hearts.
Finally, add the sprinkles around the top of the castle and top the cone turrets with flags cut from the colored paper and taped to the toothpicks.

Guidelines for obtaining vital record information
from the Wood County (WI) Courthouse
Do you need a civil record of a birth, marriage or death record—that is, the official record filed by the government?
In Wisconsin, one of two locations for these records is the Register of Deeds office in the courthouse of the county where the event occurred. The Wood County, Wisconsin Courthouse is located at 400 Market Street in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin.
According to Register of Deeds Renè L. Krause, if you have the exact names of the (born, married, died) person(s) for which you're searching and the exact event (birth, marriage, death) date, you can call their office at (715) 421-8450, or e-mail them from their webpage at http://www.co.wood.wi.us/rod to find out whether a record for that event is filed there.
(However, if you are not certain of the name, if you're not certain how that name is rendered in the records, or if you are not sure of the event date, you'll need to send a written request with the information you have to the Register of Deeds office with payment enclosed for whatever document you want them to search for.)
If a record for an event is listed in an index, a hard copy of that record can be obtained by mail from the Register of Deeds office. Go to their webpage at www.co.wood.wi.us/rod to download a form, and to find information on cost, acceptable forms of payment, and where to send your request.
You may also visit the Register of Deeds office in person to research vital records. ID and registration are required, and access to some records requires staff assistance, but all available records can be viewed. Some records, like stillbirths and illegitimate births, are not open to the public. Guidelines for responsible research promulgated by the National Genealogical Society and supported by local genealogical societies are posted and enforced. Please note that out-of-county checks are not accepted as payment for in-person transactions at the Register of Deeds office.
Drafted by Don Litzer, McMillan Memorial Library Head of Adult Services, and Renè L. Krause, Wood County Register of Deeds, last revised May 17, 2005.

We got this stove after our old one would no longer heat. We must have looked at every stove out there. My eye always kept coming back to this Whirlpool stove, oh and the price too! It has the middle burner which we love, the large glass see through door, huge interior. Everything we have baked so far has come out nothing short of perfect. I love the style, the controls are very easy to use and the results, oh its all about the cooking results. If what your cooking always comes out, so so, or not at all, then go with this stove, i love how everything we cook comes out evenly baked, like it should. This is a quality Stove and should last a very long time. This is a stove you dont have to think twice about, its at a very good price too, for all the features and its made by a respected brand, that is known for quality and durability. Trust me, you wont be disappointed and you'll fall in love with cooking, all over again!

I bought this range because it was the least expensive stainless steel range in the store. I should have spent the extra money for a self-cleaning unit or went with another brand altogether. The outside of the unit (the knobs and oven glass) gets very hot when the oven is on. So hot, in fact, that I had to schedule an appliance repairman to check it out to make sure it wasn't defective. He told me unfortunately that's just the way this one is. Non-self cleaning ovens have less insulation and so they transfer more heat. That explanation is unacceptable. I've had non-self cleaning ovens before (much less expensive than this one I might add) and they never got anywhere near as hot. I would not recommend this product.

Comments about Whirlpool 30" Stainless Steel Free-Standing Gas Range:
I am so happy that I selected this gas range. The double ovens is what I started searching for and the convection oven is a huge plus. I have never had or used one before and I love how it cuts down on baking time. I didn't think I needed a fifth burner but it is so useful. Now when I have family meals I don't have to use the neighbors oven!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I moved into my house and it had a stove from probably the 60's. So I did some research and found this one. It has the features and the number of burners I wanted. I love it!!! Making pancakes on the griddle in the mornings and cooking four other things at the same time. It's perfect for me. I'm so happy with it.

Shoe Tower Competition
Winter 2009-2010
In November of 2009, WORKshop announced the winners in Stage Two of the S-TOWER student design competition. The shoe tower design by Omri Menashe was selected by the jury as the winner with an award of $500. An award of $300 was presented to the runner-up, Peter Sherratt. At the time of the competition, Mr. Menashe was a fourth-year, undergraduate student in the B.A. Architectural Studies program and Mr. Sherratt was a third-year, graduate student in the Master of Architecture program. The other three finalists were Nelson Cheng, the team of Nicholas Gosselin and Tyler Murray, and Xian Chi. The three-member jury (Andrew Jones, Larry Wayne Richards, Robin Speke) was pleased with the Stage Two responses from the five finalists that submitted and recognized the tremendous amount of work that the various individuals put into their submissions. The winning and runner-up shoe towers, along with the other three finalists, were displayed as part of WORKshop's opening exhibition at 80 Bloor Street West during the winter of 2010.

Greetings everyone, through my own searching I have failed to resolve a question regarding meditation on foulness so I thought I might post it here. I am an intensely visual person and so lustful for form. It occurred to me that my capacity for visualization might work equally well against lust if I could use it to retain the imagery prescribed by the Buddha as an antidote for lust.
I have found that actual images (photographs, video, or actual witnessing) seem to have an extremely powerful influence on me, but in our modern society it is not acceptable to seek out such things because of the widespread misunderstanding of how they are used in Buddhist practice. I am confident that embedding such imagery in my mind will facilitate proper meditation on foulness (right now my mind lacks the muscle to conjure up and retain such imagery by itself).
I considered seeking out medical books, which might be an acceptable venue for this kind of material, but it was harder than I thought to find the right images. Another technique I've used and highly recommend is time-lapse video of decay, but again, the material appropriate for my purpose is sort of hard to come by. Of course this approach is not meant to supplant unprompted meditation on foulness, but simply aid a beginning meditator. Does anyone have an opinion on the following?
1) Do you think the Buddha would have approved of this method for those whose concentration is still extremely weak? Given that monks were often advised to visit charnel grounds I am inclined to think this modern approach might be a good start.
2) Are there Buddhists today already integrating video and photography into their practice for this purpose?
3) Do you have any advice on what approach I might take?
Thank you kindly for your thoughts on my question.
