Why You Shouldn't Feel Guilty about Second Child Syndrome
My second child has received a completely different sort of parenting than my first. It's a hard thing to admit, that I'm not "fair." Slowly, though, I've come to realize that it's okay that my second doesn't have my full attention all the time.
When I had my first two children eighteen months apart, I was wracked with guilt over the lack of attention my second baby received compared to the first. The first time around, I did it all: the weekly pictures, the hand-prints, stories every night and cuddle time each morning. Now, I juggle sippies and bottles and respond to round-the-clock needs of a baby and a toddler. The minute I finish changing one, the other needs a bath or a snack.
My second child has received a completely different sort of parenting than my first. It's a hard thing to admit, that I'm not "fair." Slowly, though, I've come to realize it's okay that my second doesn't have my full attention all the time. I think it's better for him in the long run.
The second child may not have all those special moments with mom and dad, but he has something better. A sibling. A family. I've been amazed at the interaction between my oldest and my youngest, and while a big brother's antics are certainly no replacement for a mother's enduring patience, we strike a graceful balance together.
Sometimes I feel a pang of guilt over the lack of physical attention towards my second, and I'll look up to see his brother giving him a gentle forehead kiss. I worry that I'm not teaching him enough, and then I see the toddler gesturing towards a book and showing off his letter skills. "A, B, C." They learn together now, and that smart little baby keeps up. Children are incredibly adaptive, and it's amazing to see how the second piggybacks on all the time and attention that the first one received. It's almost as if I was teaching them both before he even arrived.
Parenting is different the second time around, and it's something to be celebrated. In place of the one-on-one time and the quiet moments, we have laughter and togetherness. I'm sure it'll be an ongoing transformation as I watch these kids grow, and an ongoing effort to assure myself that I'm doing a good job. I know with two, we may be shorter on resources to do all the extracurriculars and send each kid to camp. But we'll have one heck of a boisterous, joyful home.
And that, I will never feel guilty about.

Bayern Munich and Barcelona eyes move for Koscielny
On the final day of the Premier League season it was Laurent Koscielny who scored to secure a top four finish for Arsenal. But that could've been the Frenchman's last action for the Gunners as Bayern Munich and Barcelona attempts to sign the defender.
Keeping hold of Koscielny could be an important message for the Arsenal supporters as a statement of intent with Arsene Wenger looking to push the club forwards.
Elsewhere, Luis Suarez is continuing his pleas to join Real Madrid and Andre Villas-Boas is a target to takeover the managerial hot seat at Paris Saint-Germain. For all this and more rumors visit today's Paper Chase.

Dominic Monaghan goes where the 'Wild Things' are
"Lord of the Rings" and "Lost" star Dominic Monaghan is taking on a whole different sort of adventure with "Wild Things with Dominic Monaghan," his new BBC America documentary series.
The show finds the British actor traveling the world in search of some of the planet's most exotic — and dangerous — animals. An avid traveler and insect-lover, Monaghan may have found his dream job, he admits.
Metro: Where did the idea for the show come from?
Monaghan: It's kind of the way that I holiday, to a certain extent. If I'm going somewhere on my own and I can make my own choices of how I'm going to go on holiday, then I'll pick a place where there is an animal that I'd like to have an interaction with. I'd land in a major city and learn as much as I can about that particular animal, then take a trip to get closer to that animal. [I try to] pick up as much expertise as I can before trying to have that experience.
Seems like something of a dream job.
Yeah, it is. It's a fantastic experience. But still we're making a show at the same time. We need to [create] a product at the end of that experience as well, so there are stressful elements to it in terms of getting up early and making sure you get the shots, and there can sometimes be monotony. But that's all diluted by the fact that you're going into these beautiful parts of the world and having these amazing experiences with these incredible animals.
Was anything you encountered along the way a particular surprise?
You know, some of the food in Africa was a little hard to take. There weren't a lot of seasonings, a lot of salt and pepper and sauce or anything like that in Africa, so it was, obviously, having to deal with a slight change in diet. We saw some pretty interesting sights in different countries and some real abject poverty and kids in the midst of all that, which is obviously tough to see any time.
The amount of animals that we were exposed to in Ecuador was a real eye-opener to me. I've been to rainforests before, but nothing like being in Ecuador. You were inundated with the natural world. We could've made that show in the campsite that we set up to make the program. We didn't even need to walk into the rainforests. There were just animals everywhere.
What were some of the most interesting animals you came across?
Well, we look for the world's largest spider in Laos. That was pretty fun. You know, a large, very charismatic, intimidating spider that turned out to be friendlier than I thought it was going to be. We were only the second Western crew to actually have an experience with that spider on film, so that was fun.
How big is the world's largest spider?
The world's largest spider is about as big as a dinner plate. It's definitely a big spider — something that takes your breath away when you see it for the first time.
Is part of the goal here taking the stigma off a lot of these less-appreciated animals?
Yeah, I mean, the point of the show for me is to try and make people feel differently about the things that I'm doing — and maybe they'll feel differently about them doing it as well, whether that be travel or street food or soccer or going to countries where you don't speak that language. Obviously, at the heart of all that are stories about animals. I like breaking myths, and I think a lot of these animals — invertebrates and insects in general and reptiles and things like that — have a lot of very monstrous myths attached to them that are simply not true. So I'm a big fan of making people take a second glance at those creatures and not only realize that they're beautiful and special, but also that they happen to be very important and significant for the planet and we rely on them to pollinate our fruits and vegetables or keep our air clean or till our soil. And people tend to crush them under their feet a lot, and that might not be the best idea of how we behave.

As the debate over gun control rages in Washington, an Indiana county is taking a stand against federal gun laws. Franklin County commissioners recently adopted what they call the Second Amendment Preservation Act, declaring that all federal laws on gun control violate the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment.
The act says all federal gun control measures should be considered null and void in Franklin County.
The Sheriff of Franklin County, Ken Murphy, said that he is going to uphold his oath of office, and protect the citizens' rights based on the Constitution.
County leaders say that residents they've heard from have overwhelmingly expressed their support of the Second Amendment Preservation Act.
There could be a problem down the road because The Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution assures the Constitution and federal laws take precedence over state laws.

Hey, you remember "Repo! The Genetic Opera"? Well, Sean Lacefield, a guitar player who had more than his share of responsibility for the soundtrack, is now working with Los Angeles goth metal band "Ellsbeth." They self-released their album "Well-Dressed Killing Machine" digitally, in preparation for a summer long tour beginning right about now.
DevilDriver's "Pray for Villains" is a remote control with just one button. And that one button gets mashed over and over again from the word "go." It is brash, loud and substantive, but totally lacking in imagination or variety. The album is one howling metal noisefest after another, with fuzzed-out guitars and so much double-kick drum that I became numb to it. It never relents but also never triggers any adrenaline. "Pray for Villains" is one pace, one sound, one theme, coupled with the usual spate of angry choruses.
Normally, when I hear the words "progressive" and "atmospheric" in front of the word "metal," I run screaming from the room. So fearful am I of the genre's technically proficient but terribly brooding boredom that I would rather stick a fork in my own ear. So I don't know for what reason I took a chance on Madder Mortem's album "Eight Ways," but I did. I had heard just enough samples to want to see what it was about.
Been a while since I've managed to compile enough worthwhile news to crush it all together into one of these articles. So here we go!
Coming from the least likely of all heavy metal havens, Scissorfight hails from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, home of....well, I don't really know. Wikipedia suggests that Portsmouth was once the home of naval hero John Paul Jones, lawyer Daniel Webster, and Betty Hill of the Hill UFO Abduction. It is also the birthplace of metal's own Ronnie James Dio.
If the Sick Puppies are a band headed in the right direction, I don't think Adelitas Way even has a map. Their eponymous first album is exactly what I feared might happen with this entire "light metal" movement. This five-piece from Las Vegas wallows in overwrought emotional choruses, melodramatic guitar hooks, and unimaginative songwriting.
Now we're getting somewhere. That doesn't mean we're there yet, but I think we might be getting closer. Enter Sick Puppies and their album "Tri-Polar." This band from Australia is giving a good push to wedge their way into the landscape of heavy metal. I remember thinking that this whole "light metal" movement might culminate in something bigger. "Tri-Polar" is, at moments, an example of what this could become.
New Clutch album. The very words strike a certain amount of fear into my heart. They didn't used to. I used to get excited for new music from one of my all-time favorite bands. Those were good days, when "Pure Rock Fury" and "Blast Tyrant" didn't leave my CD player for weeks at a time. In what ended up being a very dark period for American heavy metal, Clutch kept the home fires burning with pounding swamp metal albums one after the other.
I was going to give this album the full-on review treatment as I so often do, but I'll be honest, I just couldn't come up with that much to say about it. It itself that might be the only thing you need to know.
Weren't we just talking about this? In the wake of the news about the virtual concert lighters for the iPhone, disgust ranged widely. Personally, I was enraged by the very existence of a virtual lighter, while others couldn't believe the nerve of KISS frontman Gene Simmons, to put the KISS logo on it and have the temerity to charge money for the product.
CC's back, Joe's confused, and we hope you enjoy the new sound!
A movie that has the crew conflicted.

What is the difference between internal and external stakeholders for a business?
Asked by Phoebe Smythe on March 18th 2012 10:08 a.m.
1 Answer to this question...
Answered by Alex Linde on April 11th 2012 8:25 a.m.
Internal stakeholders of a business are people who have a vested interest in the company i.e., they benefit financially if the company does well and vice- versa. They include employees, managers and investors. External stakeholders of a business include 2 groups of people: 1. People who do business with the company or are dependent on the company. For instance, suppliers depend on business generated by the company; customers use the products and they'll want good quality products at cheap prices; government depends on the company for tax receipts 2. People who do not depend on the company but are indirectly affected by it. For instance, in the case of an off-shore oil exploration and drilling company, fishermen in the region are directly affected. Moreover, if the drilling is close to the shore, the tourism industry in the region could be affected. In this instance, the whole of the community living close to the drill site are external stakeholders The main difference between internal and external stakeholders is how much of an effect a company has on them. The internal stakeholders are heavily invested in the company and they will want the company to succeed at any cost. If the company goes bankrupt, they stand to lose a lot. On the other hand, the external stakeholders will be affected but do not have to deal with such massive losses if a company is liquidated. They usually switch to other companies for business. However, of late, we have witnessed the effects of reckless decisions made by companies on external stakeholders. Examples that come to mind are BP's Macondo oil spill, the Chernobyl disaster, Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster.

Making a Splash
Make Waves�and Avoid Drowning�in Marine Graphics
If you�ve ever seen or flown over the Grand Canyon, you catch a glimpse of the awesomely destructive power of water. Contending with water is one of the great challenges print service providers (PSPs) face when approaching the market for marine graphics. Overcoming this hostile force has its rewards, as the market for digitally printed boat wraps continues to expand. Most of the skill sets acquired for applying graphics to land vehicles are fairly easily migrated to the life aquatic.
Almost any marine vehicle�from jet skis to small motorboats and even larger yachts�can be wrapped. But it�s sporting, and particularly bass fishing boats, that grab the lion�s share of the business, says Tim Boxeth, marketing manager, 3M Graphics Market Center.
�The market is still growing in the competition boat arena, especially bass boat and offshore fishing tournaments,� seconds Jason Yard, application specialist, MACtac Graphic Products. �Due to current economic conditions personal watercraft wraps are not in demand, but this could change,� he adds.
At first glance, the transition from land vehicles to marine graphics seems fairly straightforward. And while there is plenty of overlap, and plenty of PSPs who make a healthy business catering to both markets, marine wraps still require their own set of certain skills.
Know Your Enemy
�Our vinyl, laminate, and solvent-based adhesives are insensitive to salt water and are safely used in marine environments,� says Martin Kugler, corporate communications manager, Hexis USA.
MACtac�s IMAGin JT5529 B-Free Pro and Permacolor RAYZor overlaminate, Arlon�s DPF 6000 cast vinyl and Series 3220 overlaminate, Avery Graphics� 1800 Easy Apply, and 3M�s Controltac Graphic Film with Comply v3 Adhesive IJ180Cv3 and Wrap Film with Comply v3 Adhesive IJ380Cv3 are all suitable products for marine applications.
�We offer a range of laminates strictly for boats as well,� shares Molly Waters, strategic sales support manager, Avery. These include a two millimeter product in a gloss and a matte finish and a 1.3 millimeter line featuring a gloss, luster, and matte finish. �If there are sharp contours on a boat, a thinner gage laminate is more conformable,� she advises.
For those already wrapping cars and trucks, switching to the water is mostly a matter of minding your edges, vendors recommend. �The transition from cars or trucks to boats is fairly easy as the surfaces of the vehicles are very similar,� explains Yard. �The key points to keep in mind when wrapping a boat are that the graphics should not go below the hard water line, always make sure the edges are sealed with a tape or liquid sealer, and be extremely cautious of the detail finishing.�
Not everyone who wraps vehicles will find the switch so easy, cautions Robert Messenger, owner, Phoenix Graphics, Inc. The Little Rock, AR firm, which specializes in vinyl graphics installations, handles a full range of applications from land to sea, indoors and outdoors.
�The number one reason for a boat wrap failure is the installer not taking the time to properly wrap and finish the boat,� continues Yard. �It is very important to post-heat, re-squeegee, and seal all edges and seams. If you skip these three steps the wrap will fail.�
�If you do have a seam, that edge should face the back of the boat. So when you�re going through the water, the exposed edge is not facing the front and doesn't cause the film to curl back or catch any debris in the water,� says Waters. Letting the graphic sit on land for 24 hours before introducing it to water is also advised.
As with cars and trucks, surface preparation is also important. For boats already placed in the water, their exteriors can absorb oils and need to be thoroughly scrubbed before applying the vinyl, explains Waters. �Any cleaning materials should be tested for compatibility with the vinyl,� adds Kugler.
Another vital point that may not be immediately obvious when contemplating a jump into the water is the design of the graphic. �There aren�t a lot of design templates for boats,� notes Boxeth. While PSPs have an assortment of off-the-shelf templates for cars and trucks, boats are very much a blank slate, requiring more initial, customized work in the design stage to ensure a proper fit around edges.
Watch the Warranty
Some vendors will not offer a warranty for products used in the water. Others offer specialized conditions on the normal warranty�including the universal rule that the graphics be placed above the waterline. None of the media vendors we spoke with required a special certification in marine installation to claim a warranty. Also of note, the Specialty Graphic Imaging Association�s Professional Decal Application Alliance (PDAA) does not offer marine certifications as a part of its installer certification program.
Still, Messenger, who is a PDAA-certified master installer, says such certifications are useful for the knowledge they impart and the confidence they provide for customers. �We sit down with all the media vendors and learn best practices and are constantly updated on the latest techniques, which we apply to our business,� he shares. Meetings provide an opportunity to �rub shoulders� with industry peers and share knowledge through personal networking, he adds.
Although most vendors interviewed say properly installed and laminated media can be submerged for long stretches without harm, the warranty is void if graphics are deliberately applied to an area of the boat that is located permanently below water.
Be sure to check with your supplier and media vendor before embarking on a project to verify you have the necessary coverage. �The normal warranties do not apply for marine applications basically because it is impossible to control the precise exposure conditions,� cautions Kugler.
As a general rule of thumb, media vendors warranty products provided they�re installed to their guidelines. The duration of warranty protection varies, but two years is common. �The standard MACtac warranty for boat wraps is two years on graphics installed above the water line,� explains Yard.
Likewise, 3M certifies a product for two years installed above the waterline using a company-approved ink and media combination and edge sealer, notes Boxeth.
Diving In
Particularly when the alternative�painting�is more expensive and at least semi-permanent; a digitally printed vinyl graphic presents an appealing option that can be swapped out as sponsors, or aesthetics, change.
For PSPs with a foothold in land vehicles, the water is an appealing avenue for growth. Newcomers to this niche must remember to mind the edges. Graphics should no go below the hard water line and edges should be sealed tightly. Design is another concern, templates are rare, but for the innovative print provider this can be remedied.
