Pilar Pinel comes from family committed to improving the lives of southern Californians through community leadership, environmental stewardship, volunteerism, business success and public service. A native to the area, she attended public school through High School in San Pedro. Upon graduation, she moved to the city of Long Beach to attend college while simultaneously supporting her parents with their family business. Ms. Pinel has resided in Long Beach for the past 37 years where she has raised her son, now 30 years of age, as a single parent. Her son a successful man in his own right, has and continues to be an unconditional supporter of his mother's efforts in the community since the age of four and of her nonprofit organization ELLAS (Embracing Latina Leadership Alliances) from its founding.
Ms. Pinel is a visionary, passionate about education, civic participation, entrepreneurship and the Arts. Her tireless devotion and involvement in the community with local, state and national representatives, social service non- profit organizations, education and youth leadership demonstrates her sincere efforts to encourage and improve the lives of all persons in the communities she has worked in and lives. Pilar Pinel's leadership has gained the attention of numerous elected officials as well as a personal letter of recognition in 2013 from The United States 41st President, George H.W. Bush and the Daily Points of Light Award which celebrates the power of individuals and their capacity to impact areas such as the economy, education and environment. In 2011 Pilar Pinel was honored as one of ten women to receive the prestigious L'Oreal Paris Award as a "Woman of Worth" for unconditional give to her community out of two thousand entries nationally. In addition, she received the "Woman of the Year" Award from 4th District Supervisor Don Knabe, County of Los Angeles. These awards are but a reflection of her strongest conviction of achieving "human dignity through equity and diversity.
It is evident that Pilar Pinel's roots run deep in the City of Long Beach where she has participated in outreach events for the Cambodian, African American, Filipino and Hispanic Communities. Her family members, many friends, and their children have and continue to live in Long Beach as well as serve the: Long Beach City Fire Department, Los Angeles City Fire Department, Law Enforcement (at the city, county and state levels) and the U.S. Military. She understands first-hand the sacrifices and dangers our country's women and men in uniform face while serving our communities and nations armed forces. In 1984 her brother Benjamin Pinel, a Los Angeles City Firefighter lost his life in the line of duty. In addition, she is a firm supporter of union members. In 2002 she marched in support of hotel and janitorial workers alongside then Senator Alan Lowenthal. Pilar Pinel's leadership is one the community can count on to be equitable and transparent for the benefit of all citizens.
Over the past 15 years Downtown Long Beach has experienced wonderful transformations and tremendous business growth attracting tourism and conventions to the heart of Long Beach from Rainbow Harbor, Downtown to the Eastside Arts District Community.
The 1st District is uniquely surrounded by the various improvement areas of the Downtown business district. I have lived in the City of Long Beach for 36 years and more recently in the 1st District for the past 10 years.
As a former Field Deputy for First District, I held the responsibility of representing Councilwoman Bonnie Lowenthal in the district on concerns of community safety fairs, constituent events, public works (street paving, red curb, lighting), housing code enforcement issues with the city prosecutors office, police and fire services, the business community and environmental issues. I posses an extensive knowledge and understanding of local, state and federal operations, public affairs, administrative policy and advocacy.
In the words of Councilwoman Lowenthal " It is rare that an individual can hit the ground running in the political arena. Pilar was the exception. She has a keen sense of people and issues, possessing a strong ability to access, prioritize, and formulate strong plans for action. Proving herself a strong advocate for the diverse community. She is respectful, articulate, committed and loyal." It was an honor to serve the office of First District Councilwoman Lowenthal and as your next elected councilwoman I will be equally honored to serve the Long Beach First Districts constituency.

As I mentioned in my last post, I'm currently learning about how a view based NSTableView differs from an old style NSCell based table view (or technically in my case, an NSOutlineView). I'm taking notes on what all is different, and figured I'd post it here too, in case it helps anyone else
Like before, you can use either bindings or a data source to provide data to your table view.
However, with cell based views, you would bind each individual column, or provide different object values for each row+column in -tableView:objectValueForTableColumn:row: With view-based tables, it's just a single 'content' binding that binds each row to an object value, and that same object value is set as the objectValue for each of your cell views. Each view can show different data by binding to different properties of the objectValue, e.g. the name column would bind to "objectValue.name", etc.
With a data source, you don't actually need to implement -tableView:objectValueForTableColumn:row:, as you can just configure your view yourself before returning it from -tableView:viewForTableColumn:row:. However, you can implement the object value data source method if you want, and NSTableView will do just like bindings, and use that as the objectValue for the cell view.
Editing cells is no longer handled by the table view itself, and doesn't call a setObject data source method to pass on the value. Instead, you're supposed to use bindings or hook up target/action from the subviews in your cell's view to modify the model object as needed. NSTableCellView handles this mostly automatically for you though. This does make it much easier to have a single cell handle editing multiple bits of data though, if needed, since you no longer have to work under the assumption that one cell displays just one value.
This also means that starting an edit programatically works a bit differently too, since NSTableView is no longer doing the work of setting up the field editor for your NSTextFieldCell like it did before. According to the docs, it tries to make the view in that row/column the first responder, and then it's up to the view to start editing? Or something? I need to play with this one to figure out how it really works.
With cell-based tables, each table column just had a single NSCell instances, stored in its dataCell property. You could give it custom cells using the -tableView:dataCellForTableColumn:row: method, to have different types of cells in different rows. For view-based tables, you can just drag multiple views into a single table column, and give each one a unique identifier string. Then you can just call -makeViewWithIdentifier:owner: to have it make a new instance of that view each time you need it. This makes it really easy to have heterogenous cells in your table.
That's all I've got for now, I'll post more if I discover anything else as I go along.

Jason Witten, TE, Dallas Cowboys Player Profile Height/Weight: 6-6/261 Birthdate: 5/6/1982 School: Tennessee FANTASY FOOTBALL ANALYSIS Surprisingly, for a sure-handed tight end of Jason Witten's size and stature, the Dallas Cowboy has been extremely inconsistent when it comes to finding the end-zone in his career. Check these numbers out, 1, 6, 6, 1, 7, 4, 2, 9, 5 and then 2012′s 3. That is perhaps the one thing that keeps him from being considered the top tight end in fantasy football. Let's not kid ourselves, his reception yardage is there. Consistently approaching or topping 1,000 yards a season since 2007, while racking up anywhere from 79-110 receptions in that span, he is someone who definitely won't hurt your team, unless you overpay for him. He also is a rarity and someone that deserves your respect. He hasn't missed a single game since 2003 so health is not really a concern. The one thing that you should be looking at though is that he will be 31 this season and this is ab...

HOBART | With tools and equipment dating back to the profession's beginnings, chimney sweep Doug Keith helps keep Lake and Porter county chimneys clean – and safe.
"It is an old profession and chimneys and fireplaces haven't changed much over the years," he said. "We do have modern vacuums and systems to help keep dust under control, but the brushes and tools are pretty much the same as they were in the 1800s."
As the owner of Four Seasons Chimney Sweeps along with his wife, Karen, Doug goes beyond chimney cleanings to inspections, rebuilds, repairs, including masonry work, re-linings and tuck pointing.
"Inspections are important because a lot of problems don't get recognized until it's too late. Of course, some are obvious like if bricks are broken and the chimney is deteriorating. I also look at dampers, smoke chambers and liners," he said. "People don't think about it, but dead leaves in a gutter can be a problem. I will trim trees back and clean out gutters as long as it's not too extreme."
Wood and gas fireplaces have separate issues and safety concerns. He said the Chimney Institute of America recommends having a wood burning fireplace and chimney checked out every year.
"When you burn wood, a byproduct is creosote, which is an oily, tarry resin that sticks to the chimney walls. If it is left unchecked, it could ignite. When the whole inside of a chimney starts to burn, it creates a vicious updraft that can pass through the walls. It can start shooting from the chimney like a Roman candle and shoot fireballs that can start the roof on fire," he said.
"Gas burns clean so you don't have the sooty build-up. But you should have it cleaned and inspected to make sure the integrity is there. It's kind of like cleaning a furnace, it makes it more efficient."
The chimney sweep also helps homeowners monitor dryer vents, which can be a fire hazard.
Doug jumped into the world of chimney sweeping after doing research on the business.
"The profession was making a comeback when fireplaces were trending back to wood. Now, it's probably going back a little the other way with environmental trends. You can't build a house with a wood burner in California.
"But people still like wood burners. It's there for the aesthetic."
Doug said after 20 years, most of his customers are repeat business and by word-of-mouth.
"The profession went away for a long time, then made a comeback. I am still here so I must be doing something right. I have learned you will fail your way to success."

If you cannot afford 100-level seating, then the first two rows anywhere in the 300-level seating area also offer an excellent view of the action.
Seats in the lower rows of the 100 Level are blocked by the glass, and you have to deal with the protective netting in the end zones.
You really can't go wrong with the 200 level seats though, espcially because of the wait services.

1 answer
A:Tina, here are the cooking instructions for the Maine Shore Seafood Bake. They will also be included in the package. Thank you for asking!
For Oven:
Keep frozen until ready to use. Thaw in refrigerator overnight or for several hours. Pre-heat oven to 450°. Place foil bag (unopened) on a baking sheet. Bake for 50-55 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Cut a slit in the foil to remove contents. Note: The bottom two layers of the foil bag contain a small amount of Alder chips which will add a mild smokey "cooked outside" flavor to the seafood. You may smell these chips if the Shore Dinner is cooked inside. Caution: steam is very hot.
For Outdoor Grill:
Pre-heat grill to highest temperature (about 450°). Place foil bag on center of grill rack and close cover. Grill for 35-40 minutes. Remove from grill. Cut a slit in the foil and remove contents. Note: The bottom two layers of the foil bag contain a small amount of Alder chips which will add a mild smokey "cooked outside" flavor to the seafood. Caution: steam is very hot.Answered on 5/30/2014 by Customer Care from Medford, OR

It's in the (Smythson of Bond's) Bag
Smythson has been on a roll lately. After launching a series of successful limited-edition leather and paper goods with fashion designers—including its latest collaboration with rising star Jonathan Saunders—the century-old Brit brand is dabbling in more color, and it's going over exceedingly well. Case in point: its new Chameleon collection, with 17 "mix and match" bestsellers redone in six vibrant and quirky hues like mustard, cranberry, azure, and midnight violet. The assortment includes everything from bookishly cool pencil cases to neat zip-around writing folders, but we're most interested in the cosmetic cases. Crafted with soft, grained goatskin leather, the pouches are the ideal size for holding one's weekend essentials—foundation, lipstick, mascara, powder, and an eyelash curler (add it to your must-have list if it's not already on there). Should your essentials include a few more items, the square cases offer a bit more room, along with a quilted interior and mirror. Holiday wish list, here they come.

Remember the periodic table from chemistry class in school? Researchers from Lund University in Sweden have presented fresh evidence that confirms the existence of a previously unknown chemical element.
An international team of researchers, led by physicists from Lund University, have confirmed the existence of what is considered a new element with atomic number 115. The experiment was conducted at the GSI research facility in Germany. The results confirm earlier measurements performed by research groups in Russia.
"This was a very successful experiment and is one of the most important in the field in recent years", said Dirk Rudolph, Professor at the Division of Nuclear Physics at Lund University.
Besides the observations of the new chemical element, the researchers have also gained access to data that gives them a deeper insight into the structure and properties of super-heavy atomic nuclei.
By bombarding a thin film of americium with calcium ions, the research team was able to measure photons in connection with the new element's alpha decay. Certain energies of the photons agreed with the expected energies for X-ray radiation, which is a 'fingerprint' of a given element.
The new super-heavy element has yet to be named. A committee comprising members of the international unions of pure and applied physics and chemistry will review the new findings to decide whether to recommend further experiments before the discovery of the new element is acknowledged.

I really like your idea for the Angelic Flight. The wings would be a very nice touch. Plus, if it actually gave you a slowfall/levitate type ability, it'd be that much cooler. I can imagine seeing a paladin swoop in to give you a decisive hammer to the face while you're guarding the Gold Mine in AB would be quite intimidating.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Yeah, let's tell Blizzard (the most successful MMO company in the world, EVER) to alter their core philophies in the same vain as other MMO companies. Hey, aren't I smrt?
Go ahead. Announce a release date... so you HAVE to rush to meet it when you're not ready. And you HAVE to postpone it when you can't. (Oh oh well. nobody cares anyway if you make and break commitments anyway right? which kinda begs the question, why in the world you would make commitments if you don't keep them?? seems, idk, stupid to me) Or maybe you don't announce a date. Maybe if you finish by the target, you release it by the target. And if you don't finish by the target, nobody knows any worse.
But we need transparancy! The god awful transparancy! Inquiring fans want to know. No, we don't. We want a quality product. If Blizzard needs to take time, then they can take the time. They should not feel pressure from us while they are busy developing their game. There are a lot of things we will never know. And when Blizzard "might" have released a game or a patch, that is not important to me. What's important is when they DO release a patch/game. Because obviously, anytime before that the game just wasn't ready.

"Hey, aren't I smrt?"
Nice! Another subtle Simpsons reference! Kudos!
/I am so smart! S-M-R-T!
I wish i could vote your post ABOVE blue, into purple, because it is truly epic. People never seem to realize that what they *think* they want and what they actually want are two very different things. What do we really have to gain by knowing a 'release date'? not much, especially if it lapses frequently, which i'd say blizz is wont to do.
I agree with above poster, unfortunately not with the columnist this time, no matter how well-written the original post is. I think the basic arguments are flawed; for example a day to fix a bug may be forgiveable, but some bugs would take much longer to eradicate which would wear the patience of more people thin.
I've played Warhammer Online, which is a good demonstration of what happens when a game gets released before it's really ready (and has the horrible drop in subscriptions to testify).
Even though its POSSIBLE to deliver a game on time by cutting features and letting bugs stay unfixed until the next patch, it is almost never wise. Announcing release dates puts pressure on programmers to do rush jobs when unexpected problems arise, which leads to bad programming which is less maintainable and will give much more headaches in future. To quote 'the Princess Bride': 'You rush a miracle man - you get rotten miracles.'
In most cases, Blizzard is taking the time they need, which allows them to make games like Starcraft, Diablo and World of Warcraft, which are to my knowledge still considered some of the greatest games ever made.
Would I LIKE to hear release dates? Sure! But not at the most likely cost of buggy patches and jagged coding. What I would like though sometimes are 'negative deadlines', namely before what date the patch is NOT going to be released. That would prevent my curiosity from inciting me to check the Blizzard site incessantly when my work is boring ;)
Sadly, the truth of it is that Blizzard does rush patches. Let's take 3.1 for example. It was on the PTR, people were testing it. Bugs being reported, things getting fixed. All seemed well, right? Then 3.1 launches. What happens? A month of hotfixes and patches.
Why? I postulate that it's because the patch was rushed. Blizzard had set a firm release date, didn't announce it of course, and then delivered the patch at that date whether it was ready or not.
I would not square fault entirely upon Blizz's shoulders, though. 3.1 simply wasn't properly tested. That's a fault of the player base not using the PTR for intended purposes. Players on the PTR, at large, do not care about ensuring that the final product is ready, they just want all the practice they can get on the new content so they have an edge up on the competition. Of course, the quality of the testing environment could be largely improved as well.
There are many more ways that Blizz's patch deployment can be improved, ways more important than announcing some mundane target release date, beyond issues with any given PTR.
I invite everyone to vote this comment down for bashing Blizzard, being QQ, etc, etc. You know you want to.

The Boston Bruins picked up a thrilling shootout win over the Columbus Blue Jackets by a score of 2-1 on Thursday night. The game could be described as a snoozefest at first, with only two goals being scored throughout the entire game. Then things got interesting late in the third period, and it led to the Bruins shootout victory. Here are my five observations from the game.
Number Five- Letdown Bounce Back?
This was a game where the Bruins looked like they could be suffering a letdown throughout. And it made sense, seeing that they have won six straight games and were now playing the team with the worst record in the NHL. However, just minutes after Derrek MacKenzie of the Blue Jackets scored, the Bruins bounced back with a goal of their own, a good sign that they weren't letting themselves fall too deeply into a lull.
Number Four- Creative Chances
Though the Bruins did not execute much early on, they showed signs of getting creative chances in front of the net. Brad Marchand and Tyler Seguin especially showed this, but other players like Benoit Pouliot and Gregory Campbell did as well. Overall, the Bruins did not get enough shots on goal throughout the game, and maybe it was because at times they confused "fancy" with "creative," and sometimes even "sloppy."
Number Three- Tyler Seguin
How many times has Seguin been here? And did you know that he is not even on the Bruins all-star ballot? Once again, he showed tremendous skill and talent that separated him from the rest of the pack on both teams. Yes, it was his second straight scoreless game — his season high in that aspect — but he still showed dominant ability throughout the night.
Number Two- Lack of Physicality
The lack of physicality was evident throughout the night. Shawn Thornton started a fight with Jared Boll in hopes of changing this, but it did not change. And we all know what happens when the Bruins cannot get physically engaged in games.
Number One- Slower Pace
After a period of five games where the Bruins scored five goals or more, the last two games have seen a slower pace. Last game against the New Jersey Devils, they exploded in the third period, but the game still carried a more calm pace than the ones previous. This game was more of the same, with not much scoring or action in general from both sides.
The Bruins return to the ice on Saturday night when they face off against the New York Islanders.

"PC" and "politically correct" are loaded terms that you should be very cautious using, if ever. People appropriate the phrase in a way that's more harmful than not having a label for bigoted crap. Explaining why something is dangerous, hurtful, and/or inflammatory is much better than saying, "Hey, that's not PC!" It becomes harder for someone to dismiss dangerous/inflammatory/hurtful language as unimportant or okay when they are actually told why. Of course, you have no responsibility to explain, and every right to get angry. Especially if you are not part of a disprivileged group, don't go throwing around the term "PC" if you're trying to get someone to modify behavior. If that person is actually worth your time, then a phrase that has become completely reactionary is not the best way to help teach, and if you're not part of a disprivileged group throwing around a reactionary phrase often does more harm than good.

SoulCalibur V is on the horizon. Are we excited? Course we are. It looks amazing, faster than ever and... well, it's SoulCalibur. But the main reason we still get excited about the series is because of 1999's original Soul Calibur, which single-handedly revolutionised the one-on-one fighting genre when it helped launch Dreamcast. This isn't an article about that machine, much as I love to talk about it. No, it's a tale of souls and swords, eternally retold. Welcome back to the stage of history…
Above: A romanticised fighter set in the days of swords and shields? Yes, I can pay by cash, how much do you want?
I say 'welcome back', because while we're used to numbered sequels to this, the original SoulCalibur, the game was itself a sequel to arcade/PSone beat-em-up Soul Blade - a game that's equally worthy of praise for its true 3D backgrounds and fights that actually looked like two people having a scrap.
But that was the previous generation and, in 1999, gaming technology was taking vast, continent-sized strides forward into the next generation. Call it providence, but everything fell into place to create the perfect conditions for the birth of something extraordinary.
The impressive and meaty fighting engine of PSone's Soul Blade just needed a few tweaks to really shine. The dawn of the128-bit era allowed developers to draw characters and environments in full 3D with no compromises. And, crucially, the series was still young enough to feel fresh and new. Everything was set for a classic - and boy, did we get one.
Speaking of fresh and new, just look at Seong-Mina here. Her eyes aren't crossed like they are in the first sequel (I'll never forgive you, Namco), and her skin is flawless. She's beautiful. Perfectly proportioned and exquisitely programmed to fit in with her surroundings.
But graphical quality would be nothing without great movement – something that Soul Calibur still excels at. It's hard to think of any fighting game that moves better. Just watch as Kilik here goes through his repertoire. It's so solid, so assured… such a wonderful exhibition of technology married to skill. And there's no hint that this game is 12 years old, it's still on the very cutting edge of videogame animation, right down to the leaves being blown about the floor by the air displaced by Kilik's movement.
Problem was, the standard was set so high by this launch title that nothing else really matched it until PS2/Gamecube's era began. Sure, we had Dead or Alive 2, which is just as fluid but lacks detail in comparison. And even moving away from sheer technical ability, the art design of SoulCalibur was unmatched by anything in the last generation.
You can feel the air around Siegfried's castle and the warmth from the glowing orange sunset behind Cervantes' ship, which casts shadows on the floor under the fighters. Taki's temple stage looks amazing, with a statue in the background so detailed, it could easily pass as a playable character.
Then there's that Venice stage, with architecture so magnificent, it single-handedly shrugged off the entire 32-bit generation like some tatty poncho it used to wear before it discovered silk robes. It made everything that came before look ragged, jagged and (to put it as eloquently as possible) a bit crap.
Above: This screen's from the XBLA version, BUT THE GEOMETRY STILL BURNS
With these beautiful characters in their incredible surroundings, it's little wonder my gran asked me whether the people were real when I showed her the game my parents had given me for Christmas that year. I can understand her confusion – the images being displayed on my 15-in TV were far too fluid and detailed to be a cartoon, yet too stylised and extraordinary to be a video. They do look like actors. But then she had a go and realised just how brilliantly interactive this stunning experience truly is.

That line, 'We're off to see the wizard,' comes from The Wizard of Oz. The Wizard of Oz contains symbolism that can be construed to refer to the Federal Reserve and fiat money. Regardless of when it was written, and what it actually may have been intended to mean at the time, there are some lessons that can be drawn from it.

LOS ANGELES, CA - Dorothy, the lion, the scarecrow, and the tin man travel the yellow brick road, a road of gold. The stability of gold backing the value of a nation's economy leads to prosperity.
The reason that is true is because gold keep governments honest. With a gold-based economy, there is no way to print money out of thin air to bribe, buy political favors, or create wars. In the story, the yellow brick road led to Oz where the wizard of Oz was behind a curtain that gave off puffs of green smoke, similar to the Federal Reserve and fiat money.
Here is the finest collection of Catholic gold
The workings of the Federal Reserve have been hidden behind a cloak of secrecy and are only beginning to be exposed, primarily due to the free information flow of the internet. There were authors who exposed the Federal Reserve and fiat money prior to the internet, but the internet allows for the free flow of that information to be spread more rapidly without having to go through the propaganda mills and media of the state.
Dorothy's companions lacked courage, a brain, and a heart. And that is true when it comes to dealing with the Federal Reserve. It is a heartless system kept in power by those who do not have either the understanding or courage to deal with it.
Due to the lack of knowledge, this scripture is true. 'My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge..' (Hosea 4:6) As more and more people wake up to the realities of fiat money, they will be less likely to fall to the propaganda of the state that seeks to keep a fiat money system in power throughout the world.

My guess is as follows: it has little to do with what you do itself (taking damage, stabbing boss, or keeping everyone alive), but more with where you stand metaphorically in the fight.
Tanks are at the very front, setting the pace of a run, deciding when it's time to pull, etc.
Dps are in the middle, behind the tanks (again, metaphorically because they really should be behind the boss).
But the healers are at the very end, and she doesn't have to be near the bost most of the time, paladins notwithstanding.
I'm not making a gender stereotypes or what not, not saying that women are not cut out to be leaders, etc. That's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying that historically, men have been the hunters and women have been the foragers, and even as late as the 40s, men "og out to work" while women "stay at home." Maybe this kinda evolutionary wiring has influenced where people prefer to stand in the line with respect to boss fighting.
The metaphorical position on the screen isn't meaningful. the social hierarchy in raids is WAY more important. In general, the raid leader is in charge, and makes final decisions, the next most important person in the raid is the healing lead. nobody gives a shit what the dps have to say about a problem. tanks have very limited information about what went on. the healers know whats going on, they are the Consigliere to the RL's Don.
gender notwithstanding, the healers are leading you through progression.
Your "men were the hunters, women were the foragers" is actually pretty inaccurate as well. In primitive times and even colonial/frontier eras, men were the hunters AND the foragers. Women cared for the home. Why? Because that's where the children are, and since it's women having them and women feeding them (breastfeeding), they were kind of stuck. Didn't mean anything about ability.
In the 40s as you also brought up, men worked and women stayed at home because men had spent the better part of the last few hundred years making sure that women didn't have any options that men didn't give them. Happily for women, that changed.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_division_of_labor_%28evolutionary_perspective%29
Though not every hunter-gatherer population pinpoints females to gathering and males to hunting (most notably the Aeta[5] and Ju'/hoansi[6]), the norm of most current populations divide the roles of labor in this manner.
I'm a woman and I don't like the way we're being treated in the society sometimes, but I'm secure enough with my own capabilities to acknowledge that there are differences between men and women that extend beyond their roles in reproduction. The way some of these commenters respond outragedly suggest to me that they're the ones who are having victim complex of having been treated unfairly.
Women did plenty of the damage themselves, Galatea. For example, "a woman's place is in the home" was popularized through mid-to-late 19th Century lifestyle magazines written, owned, and published by women. Before the Industrial Revolution, most businesses were home-based, and everybody -- man, woman, or child -- was expected to contribute.
Why would women encourage each other to stay in the kitchen? Class conflict. Lower class families needed every paycheck they could get, while upper-class households could afford to keep one potential wage-earner home. Children are delicate, they said, and should be nurtured rather than rushed into the workplace. The upper class painted their lifestyle as superior, and the one to which middle-class families should aspire.

Possible Cindy redesign! (WIP)
I've always intended for Cindy to be kind of gorgeous. She's supposed to be pretty, funny and insecure as hell. Her old design didn't really show that at all, especially with her crazy cheek fur things (they were really getting out of hand!).
With regards to her missing flotation sac around her neck, I think I've found a human parallel to compare it to. It would probably kind of be like missing all your toes on one foot. You would still be able to walk and you might be able to hide it pretty well by wearing shoes and practicing evening out your strides. However it might be a source of self-consciousness and some people might find it made them uncomfortable.

The Economics of Welfare, Book III, Chapter 5 . 1932.Arthur Pigou
[Debate and arguments regarding minimum wages prior to the first U.S. enactment of a minimum wage law in 1938]:
... The second way in which the State may intervene is by enabling organisations of employers and employed to invoke government aid in extending to the whole of a trade in a district or country an agreement that has been entered into by associations representing the main body of employers and workpeople engaged in it. In South Australia an Act of 1910 provides that, in trades where there are no Wages Boards, three-fifths of the employers and of the employed may make an agreement and require the government to promulgate it, so that it becomes binding upon the whole trade. The English Munitions Act of 1917 contained a substantially similar provision. The principal argument in favour of legislation of this kind is that, in the absence of it, agreements entered into by the great majority of those engaged in an industry are liable to be disrupted by the competition of a few "bad" employers. For often an employer or group of employers would lose nothing by paying better wages or working shorter hours, provided that all their competitors did the same, but would lose a great deal by doing this, and would, consequently, refuse to do it, if that condition was not fulfilled. Thus it has been stated that "one of the provoking causes of the second and disastrous transport strike in London was the withdrawal of a firm of carters from an agreement which it had signed, in order to compete with the other firms by paying a lower scale of wages than they did." On the other side, however, several considerations of weight may be advanced. In the first place, State action of the kind contemplated would dangerously facilitate the formation of rings and alliances to the detriment of consumers. Secondly, there would sometimes be very great practical difficulty in determining the lengths to which extension should be carried. For the similarity between the products of different districts in an industry is often more apparent than real, and, when this is so, the maintenance of a parallel movement between the rates prevailing in them might work against peace rather than in favour of it. This difficulty may be illustrated from certain voluntary arrangements which have prevailed at one time or another in this country. Thus in 1874 a combined scale was constructed for the iron trade of the Midlands and the North of England. In the North, however, iron rails were still the chief product, while in the Midlands manufacturers were already engaged in producing bars, plates and angles. For the former the market was falling, but it was rising for the latter, with the result that the employers of the North were compelled, at the first adjustment under the scale, to raise wages by 3d., although the price of their own chief ware was falling. Consequently, the scale collapsed within the year. Similarly, there existed for some time in many parts of Lancashire an understanding that the wages of cotton-spinners should rise and fall with advances and reductions in the Oldham district. But "the increasing specialisation of districts, with respect to the yarns produced in them, was instrumental in rendering unworkable an arrangement which had at least been possible, if not desirable, some time before. What had been one market for yarns, roughly speaking, became many markets; and the prices for different ranges and qualities of yarn beginning to move more independently, rendered any sliding arrangements between the lists unsatisfactory." It is true, no doubt, that a policy of extension does not absolutely exclude adjustment to the varying conditions of different districts. But it can hardly be doubted that the task of making these adjustments would often demand greater elasticity in the extensions than the patience and wisdom of the officials concerned are competent to provide. Thirdly, it may be urged that, where the workpeople's organisation is powerful, extension by authority is superfluous, because private enterprise is sufficient to ensure it. The employers are anxious to have recalcitrant competitors brought into line, and the workpeople are no less anxious to help them. Hence, "Trade Unions assist employers' associations to coerce employers into submission to an agreement which they have not signed," and "collective bargaining thus extends over a much larger field than Trade Unionism." The United States Industrial Commission found, for example, that in Illinois the United Mine Workers' Society is expected to strike or threaten to strike in order to bring recalcitrant employers to terms, and that in practice it is generally successful in securing this result. This last consideration, however, is obviously not relevant to industries in which the workpeople's organisation is weak. On the whole, in spite of the possible risks to consumers and of the practical difficulties set out above, and in spite also of the danger that "the extension of the benefits of organisation to the unorganised may tend to perpetuate the class of non-union hangers-on of labour and unfederated hangers-on of capitalists, men who reap the benefit of organisation but refuse to pay their share," it would seem that opinion in this country is not now unfavourably disposed towards this strictly limited form of coercive intervention in industrial disputes. Definite support was given to it in the Report of the Industrial Council (1912), subject to the condition that the Board of Trade should not entertain any application for the extension of an agreement, unless such application was received from both the parties to the agreement. In the Coal Mining Industry Act of 1920 it is provided that recommendations made by District Committees, by Area Boards, or by the National Board shall be made compulsory on persons engaged in the industry, if the Board of Trade so directs: and in the Corn Production Act (Repeal) of 1921--superseded three years later by the establishment of a system of Agricultural Wages Boards--the decisions of the voluntary conciliation committees as to minimum wage rates might, if a committee so desired, be made enforceable at law throughout their districts after confirmation by the Board of Agriculture....
A Conversation with Gary BeckerGary Becker
Gary Becker (1930-2014) was one of the most original and pathbreaking economists of modern times. His 1992 Nobel laureate in Economic Sciences was described as his "having extended the domain of microeconomic analysis to a wide range of human behaviour and interaction, including nonmarket behavior." Becker's early work on discrimination led to his further work on Human Capital and education, including economic analyses of crime and punishment, focusing on the family as a fundamental decision-making unit, and the formation of habits. His studies yielded fresh approaches to solving these underlying problems, inspiring and opening a path to a generation of research in areas previously thought to be intractable, such as the interactions between economics, biology, and sociology. This 2003 interview, conducted by Edward Lazear, also includes a bonus conversation where he is also joined by Judge Richard A. Posner, who later co-blogged with Becker on the Becker-Posner Blog. Additional materials, including a video index and sharing tool, discussion questions, and links for further reading plus audio-only file formats, are available at Newmedia at UFM.edu.
