Re-use legacy forms with this one weird trick...
Part of working with a legacy codebase means dealing with obnoxious monolithic forms. Oftentimes we're able to budget resources to refactor these forms for client-facing parts of the site, but it can be difficult to justify rewriting internal tools along the way.
This leads to an unpleasant experience for other groups (not to mention maintenance annoyances) as we move more tools into Backbone, forcing our teams to work within 2 different application paradigms.
So, I've been forging an unholy alliance between PHP scripts and our Backbone modules through $.ajax by extracting the forms from one templating system and injecting them into a View.
Module.ActionsView = Backbone.Marionette.LayoutView.extend({ events: { "click a.legacy-action": "loadLegacyForm" }, loadLegacyForm: function(e){ e.preventDefault(); $.ajax({ url: $(e.currentTarget).attr('href'), type: "GET", context: this, data: { // any params you may need for this form } }).done(function(response){ // what now? }); } });
The raw source is generally annoying to work with… using $.load can allow you to extract one element, but sometimes you might need other components from the page. This is the cleanest method I've found to get what you want out of some arbitrary markup-string:
$.ajax({ // ... }).done(function(response){ var form = $("<div/>").append(response).find('form[name="sweet-form"]'); });
So what should we do with this form element? We could simply drop it into the DOM via $.html, but then submitting the form would send us out of our single page app. We could define some event listeners, but then we have to remember to clean up, and so on.
Since we're already within a Backbone / Marionette app, we can take advantage of the nice event listener sytax by injecting it via the View's el. All together now:
Module.ActionsView = Backbone.Marionette.LayoutView.extend({ regions: { "legacyForm": "div#legacy-form-container" }, events: { "click a.legacy-action": "loadLegacyForm" }, loadLegacyForm: function(e){ e.preventDefault(); $.ajax({ url: $(e.currentTarget).attr('href'), type: "GET", context: this, data: { // any params you may need for this form } }).done(function(response){ var form = $("<div/>").append(response).find('form[name="sweet-form"]'); var view = new Module.LegacyFormView({ el: form }); this.legacyForm.show(view); }); } });
Et voila: Module.LegacyFormView can add a handler for Marionette.View.onRender events, handle submit events via $.ajax, and we can make the LayoutView listen to the LegacyFormView, then work some magic, etc.; the sky's the limit.
One of my favorite things about building software is the opportunity to explore new libraries / tools on an almost daily basis, so in putting together this blog I've taken some time to evaluate some libs that [for whatever reason] we haven't integrated into our workflow at the office.
I decided to go with grunt at first as the name was already familiar to me, but didn't really evaluate it or look into alternatives. The config did seem a little verbose but the syntax was easy to pick up with a minimal amount of debugging / trial-error.
Shortly thereafter a colleague of mine mentioned how much he enjoyed gulp for his side projects. I won't make this YAPCGG (Yet Another Post Comparing Gulp and Grunt), but I will say this: while there's no productivity gain (at the moment) for switching, I'll be doing so for no other reason than the joy of learning !
So Futere
Music is irrevocably intertwined with my mood / flow for the day, alternately reflecting and giving rise to my internal state.
During my late-night working hours the above sounds are the soundtrack to my mental-flow. This style of music has so much groove / soul, and yet can also serve as a sort of ambiance to just about anything. As long as it's happening at night.
A friend of mine who happens to be a lawyer in a fancy law office (well, I'd like to imagine that it's fancy at least) passed along some of these sounds to her boss one evening (whom I also imagine to be fancy), and he really took a liking to them, emailing her at 5A with his feedback on various moments in sound.
Now I often imagine some man in a suit and tie poring over some complicated litigation in his darkened office, subtlely nodding his head as he crafts his argument.
Anyway, I tried to create this blog in which I separated music from technical subjects and [after a completely inordinate amount of time spent pondering] came to the conclusion that doing so wouldn't be an accurate reflection of me or how I think.
And legit blogging is about keepin' it real.
Ajax Goon
Lazy wisps of nag champa in the air, some lovely tea from T2, soundtrack to this evening provided by Paul Galbraith. Earlier I put together a really fine rye-Manhattan earlier, slowly improving my technique.
Steady progress putting this thing together:
- set up asset management via Bower, pulled in a base set of components to work with
- set up a Gruntfile.js to build out concat'd / minified JS / LESS assets using this as an example (note that I've pushed the jekyll root one level deeper to avoid an extra rsync-exclude file for bower / npm components / etc. during my deploy):
module.exports = function(grunt) { grunt.initConfig({ less: { production: { options: { paths: ["bower_components/bootstrap/less/"], yuicompress: true }, files: { "jekyll/assets/css/application.min.css": "jekyll/_less/application.less" } } }, uglify: { jquery: { files: { 'jekyll/assets/js/jquery.min.js': 'bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.js' } }, bootstrap: { files: { 'jekyll/assets/js/bootstrap.min.js': ['bower_components/bootstrap/js/collapse.js', 'bower_components/bootstrap/js/scrollspy.js', 'bower_components/bootstrap/js/button.js', 'bower_components/bootstrap/js/affix.js'] } } }, copy: { bootstrap: { files: [ { expand: true, cwd: 'bower_components/bootstrap/fonts/', src: ['**'], dest: 'jekyll/assets/fonts/' } ] }, bootstrap: { files: [ { expand: true, cwd: 'jekyll/_images/', src: ['**'], dest: 'jekyll/assets/img/' } ] } }, exec: { build: { cwd: 'jekyll/', cmd: 'jekyll build' }, serve: { cwd: 'jekyll/', cmd: 'jekyll serve --watch' // note: this doesn't work on *BSD }, deploy: { cmd: 'rsync --progress -a --delete -e "ssh -q" ' // manual deployment for local changes 'cause the above }, deploy_remote: { cmd: 'rsync --progress -a --delete -e "ssh -q" ' // make it live } } }); grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-uglify'); grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-less'); grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-copy'); grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-exec'); grunt.registerTask('default', [ 'less', 'uglify', 'copy', 'exec:build' ]); grunt.registerTask('deploy', [ 'default', 'exec:deploy' ]); grunt.registerTask('deploy_remote', [ 'default', 'exec:deploy_remote' ]); };
- push'd a new repo to my host (with appropriate access controls via gitolite of course)
- Bootstrap'd (Bootstrap-ified?) the default theme and added salt to taste
Eventually I'd like to convert to SASS, but for now I'll focus on making this thing live, as well as optimizing my environment for making content, eg. some better YASnippets as well as using org-mode as the base for constructing these posts.
Lots to do.

'Wuff, Wuff!!' goes my terminal's vbell_msg.
Here I sit on a foggy late Tuesday evening, sipping some shiitake / tofu miso soup + sake, trying oncemore to decide what / why I should blogging.
The task seems somehow daunting. I could easily decide what I'd write for a given audience, ie. a group of social media acquaintances, but I draw a blank when attempting to put something together for nobody in particular.
For now this is all living within a local VirtualBox until I have time to determine my deployment process. Maybe it'll finally happen this year !

Nicole Richie Wedding
December 12, 2010 by Post Team
Nicole Richie Wedding, Nicole Richie Wedding Photos In Bidding War, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden wedding took place this Saturday (December 11) and less than 24 hours after the ceremony, everyone takes part in a bidding war over getting the first photo . Sources indicate that her representatives are trying desperately to negotiate an agreement and 100,000, which would be a history of land cover for the marriage of Nicolas. They try to play against each other magazines to get a higher price. Nicole would have approached the People magazine in hopes of winning a cover story, but the problem lies in the fact that Christina Aguilera and Kim Kardashian have been too busy to attend the wedding. I guess with a small list of big names who attended the wedding will not be equal to millions of people who want to read the story.

The Manussan year was the time scale used by the inhabitants of Manussa.
On New Year's, 2215, the Mara, having travelled back in time, tried to upset the Web of Time by overthrowing Manussa earlier that it was meant to, before being trapped in a circle of cameras and monitors by the Fifth Doctor. (AUDIO: The Cradle of the Snake) Later, in 2326, the Mara manifested through its original creation via the Great Crystal, and the Manussan Empire was replaced by the Sumaran Empire. (AUDIO: The Cradle of the Snake)
In 2926 the Federator banished the Mara to the Dark Places of the Inside, (TV: Snakedance) possessing Tegan Jovanka on Deva Loka (TV: Kinda) and using her to pilot the Doctor's TARDIS to Manussa in 3426, where it planned its Becoming on the 500th anniversary of its defeat. (TV: Snakedance)

LAFAYETTE — Inside the quiet of Louisiana-Lafayette's practice facility Saturday, softball coach Michael Lotief's joy was softly spoken.
Inside Lamson Park, almost 3,000 fans stuck around to revel in their team ending a six-year drought.
Against a hard-slugging Arizona lineup, the No. 6 seed Ragin' Cajuns dispatched their opponent with ease, jumping to a quick three-run lead and riding another sterling outing from Christina Hamilton to a 7-1 victory that capped a super regional sweep.
Even for a program steeped in its own tradition, Lotief turned to a trio of players — ice packs taped to shoulders and eyes red from happy tears — and uttered the obvious about its sixth trip to the Women's College World Series.
"That's crazy," the coach said. "It's just crazy."
UL-Lafayette (49-8-1) ditched any drama against the 11th-seeded Wildcats (44-16) while punching their ticket to Oklahoma City.
After Estela Piñon battled spotty control in Arizona's 5-3 loss in the series opener Friday night, Wildcats starter Shelly Babcock saw her own outing go sideways quickly.
With two outs in the first inning Saturday, she issued a free pass to Lexie Elkins and then watched Samantha Walsh knock a double into the left-field corner to put two runners in scoring position.
Another walk to Shellie Landry loaded the bases, and Babcock couldn't escape unscathed. Shelbi Redfearn poked an opposite-field single to right to make it a 2-0 lead, and Kelsey Vincent brought in Landry by ripping a sharp grounder past a kneeling Lauren Young at third base to make it 3-0.
"It was huge getting those runs early, just so Christina could go in and pitch and know she had a couple runs on the board," Redfearn said. "We needed that momentum to get us going."
A night after handcuffing the Wildcats, Hamilton (29-2) again quieted an order that entered with a nation-leading 107 home runs and averaged over 7.7 runs per game.
Instead of pounding the strike zone, she changed speeds and let her defense work behind her as she struck out two and scattered five hits during her complete game.
"You start feeling the rhythm," Lotief said. "She was able to command a lot of pitches today. She was able to work ahead, change speeds and move vertically and move horizontally."
The lone mistake: a ball up in the zone that Wildcats right fielder Katiyana Mauga cracked over the wall in left to cut the lead to 3-1 in the bottom of the second. It was an outlier during a series in which the Wildcats hit just .222 and had three extra-base hits.
"We prepared for their weak spots this past week," Hamilton said. "I went out there and trusted my coaches to call the pitches that needed to be called and trusted my defense. That's all you really can do."
The Cajuns order supplied her with ample insurance.
Elkins, who was 2-of-3 and scored three times, crushed two solo home runs, the second nearly clearing the bleachers in left to cap the scoring in the sixth.
In between, Babock (6-1), who went six innings and allowed nine hits, let Hayden mash an RBI double into the left-field gap for a 5-1 lead in the top of the fourth. An inning later, the hurler got into more two-out trouble by allowing a Redfearn single to left, followed by a walk. Sara Corbello knocked a single back up the middle to stretch the lead to 6-1.
"We really felt like Babcock had an opportunity with her offspeed pitch to keep them off balance," Arizona coach Mike Candrea said. "We needed to try to hit the outside part of the plate and make them chase."
Even with Hamilton calmly mowing through the order, the Wildcats still showed some pop.
"They hit some balls on the dot — and a lot of them right at us," Lotief said. "If you're just going to sit there and gut it out against those hitters, they're going to make you pay."
A sliver of the Cajuns roster has watched super regional series go to tatters the past two years. Last season, a misplayed ball in foul territory set up a walk-off home run in a super regional-opening loss at Michigan. A day later, the Cajuns had a go-ahead double in the fifth inning of a decisive third game send them home from Ann Arbor.
And in 2012, a sterling Game 1 victory at Arizona State ended with a Saturday sweep by combined score of 18-3.
"We're living in this moment," Hamilton said. "We don't really worry about things that have happened in the past. We learn from it, and we don't want to harp on it."
Hamilton made sure no comeback brewed or any lead wilted. And the bats helped exorcise the ghosts — if any existed at all.
"The teams from the past that have gone through those experiences, those kids are here today," Lotief said. "This team does what they did today because of those kids. There's no demons in this program."
Lotief was asked about preparations for a WCWS opener Thursday against Kentucky or UCLA. He would have none of it.
No, he simply planned to water the field and take part in a secret celebration with his son Nick. For a night, planning can wait.
"I'm not even worried about this week," he said. "You better savor this."

Yeah, Crystal Bearers is one of the many Wii games I've forgotten about. Other such games include Harvest Moon: Animal Parade and No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle. Can't wait to see what other Wii games E3 bring to the table. Anything better than what last E3 provided...

I reckon most people heard it already, japan will be getting the black Wii soon and monolith's rpg for the Wii is called Monado: Beginning of the World In Pictures, some screens over on kotaku. Wii doesn't seem like a jrpg plattform, but it does have some interesting new IP rpgs, like Arc Rise Fantasia, which was released last week in japan. I hope we will see more new RPG IPs coming on the wii.

Namco updated Tales of Graces hp, new PV added. The battle animations are looking really fluid. The art direction looks promising. It isn't toon-shaded, or cel-shaded, but it delivers an anime feeling.

Well after watching the preview, I have to see the only thing that really caught my attention was the flashy looking battle system. Apart from that, every else felt like a bore. The graphics were mediocre (it's a Wii but yeah), the music was bland, and the character designs and models look janky. I'm only half excited, but I'll still be waiting for more details with much anticipation.
Oh, and I'm also now curious as to how the main character, purple haired girl, and red haired girl love triangle will turn out. I was hoping for red head the be the main heroine, but looks like she'll be sharing that role... or maybe it's just the purple haired girl.

It looks like a fighting game from time to time...
Curious about the voice near the end... The red-hair? The voice sounds like School Day's Sekai, but I'm not sure...........
I think a moderator might want to take all of the posts regarding TOG out of this thread and make a thread for the game.......

More ToG screens on dengeki.
Other news is Fragile will make its way to the Pal regions (EU & AUS) in 2010, published by rising star games.
And for what's worth Another Code: R, Let's Tap, The Munchables are out now in Europe (and AUS?), so go and get it.

New screens and info/profile about TOG's 2 other characters, Hubert Ozwell and Cheria Barnes, over on on watch.impress and dengeki.
Interesting fact is, that TOG is developed by team destiny, apparently.
crystal chronicles, the crystal bearers hp updated, with some info about the characters and the world.
bioharzard the darkside chronicles, the was update a few times during the last few months. What has be updated recently is the download section, you can find some wallpapers in that section. It is also worth checking out the PVs under the movie section.
And finally monster hunter 3 (tri), under the movie section you can find some 2 new CM for the game. Futhermore the hunting ticket fees have been confirmed you can find it on the hp or over on siliconera. As far as i can see, the fees are the same as for monster hunter g.

Got my copy of Monster Hunter 3 today... while my Wii is on the other side of the world. I'm really looking forward to having a play with it, too, but it'll have to wait until the end of the month. At least it was a lot cheaper to get while I'm here.
Much to my surprise though the controller is actually really comfortable. I didn't think that much of it from the pictures, but having actually held the thing it's well designed indeed.

I'm hyped for all of the games from E3, except Super Mario Wii. They already did it for the DS, and from the looks of it, they're not bringing much to the table. Co-op and two new powerups are okay, but not worth the money, IMO. Besides, one of the powerups is sort of a rip off of the flower flame.
The new Metroid game looks sweet, but, it is being made from the company known to make womens' boobs have crazy movements. So I dunno if they're gonna try to fit that in somewhere. But i do like the fact that it's not just the gun any longer. It's physical beat downs with a gun. Although, it being in 3rd person will limit awesome viewpoints, like I saw in Metroid Prime Corruption (Falling down a hole while blasting at Ridley).
Final Fantasy looks awesome so far. The one thing I'm glad about is that it's not all chibi-ish. I was hoping for a FF with some good graphics on the wii. I just hope they don't use much motion sensory for the attacks.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 seems cool, although i still havent gotten the first (The price hasn't gone down). I've played a little of the first at Gamestop, but, not much.
Wii Sports Resort is definitely the next Wii game I buy.
The new Zelda game is the one game i didn't get to look at it much. Phantom Hourglass seemed to get boring after a while, i hope they try and fix that.

If your DC go to private school, how do you arrange childcare in the long school holidays?(199 Posts)
If both parents work, its hard enough to cover childcare during the ordinary state school holidays, but how on earth do you cope with the longer holidays at private schools?
If both parents need to work full time all year round in order to pay the school fees, what on earth do you do when your children then have three or four weeks off at Christmas and Easter, and two months off in the summer? Do you end up having to find even more money to pay for holiday camps/activity weeks etc?
I'd be interesting in any estimates of how much to budget for longer holiday childcare on top of school fees, but I suspect this may be a bit like asking how long is a piece of string ....
Go for it jabed. You said it was a genuine question so you will get some genuine answers hopefully.
I work in a state school so we have about 3 weeks holidays extra to cover. We use mixture of DH working from home, and dd staying with my parents or dh's parents, and occasionally she comes into school with me to help out.
Evn when I didn't work n schoos for a bit we found that private school holidays were already known by mst holiday companies, ESP at Easter and summer so the prices weren't really any cheaper.m Only one we ever found a bit cheaper was week before Christmas state school holidays began.
Hope nobody minds me asking but what is the thinking behind private schools having longer holidays than state?
I think originally it was so that familes could have time together. Independent schools were used by middle class parents and aristocracy and those who lived and worked in colonies. They sent their DC to school during terms and had longer holidays to allow for travel and seeing their families
Many of our pupils still leave early even though we have much longer holidays. A few still stay all year (as they did in times of yore).
Jabed- perhaps because they need to work and most jobs don't give you 13 weeks holiday a year?
Then maybe their DC would be better off in a state school where they have shorter holidays. It might also be easier on their incomes?
Oh right jabed so possibly quite outdated now, but some private schools still want it that way?
Having kids in state school doesn't solve the problem Jabed. Even if DH and I used all our days holiday separately we couldn't cover the full number of school holidays. I want to have a holiday with my whole family so that's not going to happen, so we'll have to use a holiday club at some point.
I would love to be able to have all of the school holidays off to spend with my kids, but have no chance of being allowed to work term times only. That's the reality for working parents.
I love my children to death, but could not be at home all day- I am fortunate not to need to work but I choose to as I actually like using my brain and I think it sets a good example to my girls. It doesn't mean I love them any less than someone who doesn't work.
One of the reasons I am selecting an independent school for my DS ( not the one I work in) is because of the longer holidays. I use that time to go to Canada (where DW comes from and we have a home).
I once knew a lady who put her children into independent schools because she was from a show family and they were always on the move and she wanted her child educated and that required her to place her child in boarding. It also meant she had longer holidays when they were at their busiest. The kid also hated school as it happens and independent school with its longer holidays was the main reason it was chosen.
I am also doing it because I really think that state schools spend too much time in the classroom and it really isnt healthy or helpful to a child to be
"educated" so long.
Time was state schools had the same holidays as independent schools (not so long ago even when I was a boy). Its state schols that moved, not independents.
Is this question really aimed at primary level, as school holiday provision is pretty thin on the ground for secondary school of any flavour?
For what it's worth the difference in school holidays in our local-ish independents is only an extra 2 weeks per year in the summer, all of them are now pretty aligned to the state sector and make available holiday clubs for those 2 weeks.
Yes I did want a child. I adore my child. I spend as much time as possible with my child. I have amended my working life in order to spend more time with DD. As a result I earn far less than I could. But I have a great work life balance. I am very lucky that DH has a well paid job that allows me to do so and one which also allows him to have weekends free, to spend time with DD morning and night and have decent holiday time.
I see DD every morning, every evening, every weekend and for 13 weeks of the holidays. However we cannot cover every holiday - we are 3 weeks short. So DD spends time during those with other people who she loves and who also love her dearly.
Neither DH or me work in order to pay school fees.
Besides there are many many people who have children at state school who struggle to cover the 13 weeks school holidays. Are these people also subject to the same criticism for having children and not being able to be with them in the holidays? Some people need to work in order to pay bills and give their children the standard of living they want for them.
well, I was thinking mostly of those who complain about our extra holidays in independents - hence the comment put them in state schools.
However, I appreciate fully that even with breakfast clubs and after school /homework clubs and holiday clubs that are run there some parents may still be unhappy about not having child care. But that was not my initial question or interest.
My parents sent me to PGL for a week or two Loved it.
jabed you WORK at an independent? I would have been horrified to think an adult at my school, paid to look after me, was secretly despising my parent's choice. You must realise that kids are in schools like yours for a wide variety of reasons, and not everyone's parents can be as bad as you seem to assume? Or are they the enemy somehow? Bit confused by your morals if you seem happy to get a salary from such a monstrous system, as you see it
Longer hols were handy for overseas pupils to fly across the planet and see more of their, very devoted, parents, in my experience.
I am not despising nayones choice. I simply ask why, having made it, parents complain about one of the main factors involved - the holidays.
I do not see the independent system as monsterous. I see state schools with their breakfast clubs and shorter holidays as monsterous. That is why I am going to pay for my DS to go to a small prep near our home.
I know many of the pupils in my own school go home even earlier at Christmas and in the summer. So I guess their parents do not worry about child care?
I asked those parents who clearly do worry about the additional child care why they chose independents when they know about the holidays?
As pointed out, it's not just a private school question as many working parents in the state sector find the holidays longer then their leave allowance. Perhaps the question could be phrased in terms of "how can the DCs have a good time during the weeks of their holidays when both parents have used up their annual leave allowance? Especially for those weeks of private school holidays when the clubs based on state school holiday dates aren't running?"
OP: I think you need to look at using holiday clubs - especially ones thatfit children's interests like sports, dance or drama, for all the weeks that state schools are off. Then use your leave allowance to cover the ones which don't overlap. If you have GPs/siblings and can child swop some of those weeks, that extends the options. Or perhaps, and especially as the children get older, you could see if any of your friends have sensible sixth formers or ideally university aged DCs (as their terms are also shorter) who could baby sit.
When I was a lad and my mother went out to work,I was farmed out to my grandmother or sometimes an aunt. I have vivid memories of this. I had been under the misguided view ( clearly) that grand parent day care and holiday care was the way things are going?
My DW tells me that where we are there is a church run holiday club which charges very little apparently. She knows this because she was asked if she might help being a SAHM and having some musical ( piano playing) ability as well as being a trained teacher (even if she is an OTT) . However, we will be away.
Perhaps there is something similar near you in a community hall or something? Have you checked?
Jabed, we don't all have the luxury of spending the 'summer' travelling, visiting friends etc. Some of us have to work for a living.
We do not spend our summer travelling and visiting friends. We go to Canada. There are many other things we do not have for that I am sure. I work for a living too and have done all my life
To answer your question OP:
I get 7 weeks holiday; DH takes about 5 weeks; we have a three week holiday each year. That covers a total of 10 weeks out of an overall total of 18 to 19 weeks hols (yes two different schools and not necessarily the same holiday dates). When the DC were smaller our au-pair (say from when dd was 6 and ds was 9 until dd was about 11 - was part time and didn't work in the hols before then) would help out for three or four weeks (with extra pay) although usually the dc did a morning activity during those weeks. That was 14 out of a possible 18 covered. Probably did a combination of two weeks at grannie's, own a pony week, camp beaumont, sailing, etc. with me and dh divvying up the taking and collecting - occasionally I worked 1/2 days for a fortnight.
Thank goodness they are 14 and nearly 18 now.
Well, you clearly benefit from longer holidays than most. Most people do have to juggle a lot to work around school hours, school holidays etc - it doesn't mean we don't want to spend time with our kids and it's offensive to suggest that's the case.
I just wondered why so many MNers seem to have children and then require someone else to look after them? Genuine question.
At the risk of offending (I am grumpy today). Did any of you actually want children? Why did you have them to put them into wrap around care? Do you ever see your children?
These posts^^ come across as despising families where both parents work Jabed. You seem fortunate enough to have a term time only job.
In the real world most families aren't fortunate enough to be able to afford one parent staying at home, or to be able to work term time only, it's just not a choice that's available to them. That really is the holy grail of a working parent, and we can't all work in schools.
I wouldn't rely on Granny. Lots of Grannys have their own job, or own plans or aren't well enough.
jabed you seem to labouring under the misapprehension that "working full time" for most people means having 13 weeks holiday a year. It doesn't.
Additionally you have a very bizzare attitude towards the circumstances of parents who keep you in a job and enable you to have the lifestyle that you choose and many other parents would like.
OP our children are in state but both work FT - we juggle holidays between us and have make up the rest with sports clubs, holiday clubs and family care.
In the real world most families aren't fortunate enough to be able to afford one parent staying at home, or to be able to work term time only, it's just not a choice that's available to them. That really is the holy grail of a working parent, and we can't all work in schools
I would beg to differ. In the real world of independent schooling most parents no doubt could have the choice. School fees are expensive outlays and so if they did not make that outlay they would not need additional holiday child care or if they did, it would be covered easily by any salary saved in going state
I also think that many more parents could if they wanted manage on one salary.
I do not work full time anymore. I was eased out into retirement a few yearsago. Yes, I have done the 24/7 but it isnt worth it. There are no thanks for it. I would hate my DS never seeing me and growing up thinking that was right.
The income in my household is not excessive but I do not complain. My DW does not work. She does not want to and I respect that. We have what we need and we go without other things to go to Canada (but we only pay plane fares anyway). It depends on where the priorities are really doesnt it?

Sterling reversed early gains to stand down 0.59 cents to $1.6228 and 0.14 cents to 1.1348. The FTSE 100 index was also off 26.11 points to 4882.79 having fallen as low as 4836.
David Jones, chief market strategist at IG Index, said: "The latest batch of UK economic news has proved to be a little unsettling for those looking for further green shoots.
"The man in the street is still taking a cautious approach to spending and any perceived UK recovery is not being consumer led just yet."
It came after a raft of economic data showed:
* The manufacturing sector slipped back into recession last month as firms cut jobs and growth in new orders stalled. The Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply (CIPS) said its headline measure of activity, where any reading below 50 represents contraction, fell from 50.2 in July to 49.7 in August.
* Mortgage approvals hit a 15-month high, up from 47,891 in June to 50,123 in July, according to the Bank of England, as cheaper homes and low interest rates lured buyers.
* But mortgage repayments outstripped new lending for the first time since the Bank started keeping records in 1993. Homeowners repaid £418 million more than was advanced as the credit crunch continued to restrict new lending.
* Overall lending to individuals contracted by £635 million as borrowers also repaid more unsecured debt. Borrowing on credit cards rose by £92 million but repayments on loans and overdrafts totalled £309 million.
* The supply of money to households and businesses remained muted despite increased funds held by banks thanks to the Bank of England's £175 billion printing money programme.
"All told, today's numbers are a reminder that the economy is nowhere near out of the woods yet," said Colin Ellis at Daiwa Securities.
There was particular disappointment at the CIPS numbers for August after the July survey showed growth for the first time since April last year.
CIPS chief executive David Noble said: "The future picture for the UK manufacturing sector is still uncertain, and concerns will remain that the improvements seen in recent months may have been temporary rather than a sustainable recovery."
Figures last week showed the UK economy shrank by 0.7% in the second quarter, not as bad as the 0.8% slump initially reported. It followed a 2.4% contraction in the first quarter and three quarters of decline last year.
It is hoped the economy started growing again in the current third quarter.
But James Knightley of ING branded today's numbers "very disappointing" and "a temporary setback".

Above, an A.P. Photo of James D. Paul II (Cornell '88). Cornell's annual team award for the top reserve is named in Paul's memory. Below, some news and notes for Monday...
- The Columbia Spectator recaps the season of the Columbia Lions and quotes Columbia guard Brian Barbour after a loss to Cornell.
- Cornell Athletics issued the following release on the team's season ending awards banquet which included the presentment of the James D. Paul II Award:
Wroblewski Named Team MVP At Basketball BanquetITHACA, N.Y. -- Senior Chris Wroblewski was named the Big Red's most valuable player for the 2011-12 season when the awards were announced at the Cornell men's basketball banquet on May 1 at the Moakley House at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Course. Senior Drew Ferry was selected as the recipient of the Rebounder's Club Award, while freshman Galal Cancer earned the James D. Paul II Award.
Wroblewski became the school's all-time career leader in assists (482) and a 1,000-point scorer (1,202 points - 13th all-time) as a senior en route to earning first-team All-Ivy League honors. A third-team Capital One/CiSIDA Academic All-American, Wroblewski led the team in scoring (11.5 ppg.) and was third in the Ivy League in assists (5.3 apg.) and second in steals (1.6 spg.). Wroblewski became just the second player in Cornell history to surpass 1,000 points, 400 assists, 300 rebounds and 100 steals, joining All-American and Ivy Player of the Year Louis Dale, his former backcourt mate. Wroblewski had 24 points and a career-high 11 rebounds in a win at Brown and nearly notched the program's first-ever triple-double with 18 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds in the overtime win over Yale. He scored 10 points with seven rebounds, six assists and two steals against Boston University, going 8-of-8 from the free-throw line , including making all six in the final 30 seconds. He also hit the game-winning 3-pointer with 5.6 seconds left in overtime to lift the Big Red over Albany and had 21 points to go along with six assists vs. American. The senior co-captain scored 19 points, dished seven assists and grabbed four rebounds on Senior Day against Ivy champion Harvard. He ended his career ranked fourth in career 3-point field goals made (189), fifth in 3-point percentage (.414), ninth in free-throw percentage (.823), ninth in steals (139) and 10th in free throws made (279). His 119 games played ranked second all-time among Cornellians, and his 3,594 minutes played sits third.
A team co-captain, Ferry started all 28 games for the Big Red and averaged 11.3 points to rank second on the team. He led the Ivy League in 3-pointers (84), ranking 10th in the country with his average of 3.0 per game. Ferry also averaged career highs of 3.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists and set a career-best with his 22 steals. Ferry scored in double figures 12 times with three 20-point games and became the 17th player in Big Red history to hit at least 100 3-pointers in a career. Ferry scored a career-high 26 points against Albany in an overtime win and had 20 points against both Lehigh and Penn State. Ferry recorded 17 points and six rebounds at Penn and notched 14 points and four rebounds in the win at Brown. His 164 career 3-pointers ranks sixth all-time in Big Red history, while his .390 shooting sits sixth.
Cancer had a strong rookie campaign, averaging 6.1 points, 2.7 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game while averaging 21.1 minutes per game. Cancer played in all 28 games with six starts. He was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week on Dec. 19 after scoring 11 points, dishing seven assists, snatching five rebounds and picking up four steals in an 85-82 overtime victory over Albany. Cancer spearheaded an Ivy-opening upset of defending league champion Princeton with 17 points, four assists, two rebounds, two steals and a block, then scored 10 points with two rebounds and two assists on the return trip to Princeton. He posted 13 points at Delaware and notched career highs of seven rebounds, six assists and three steals vs. American. Cancer as in double figures with 10 points, seven assists and three rebounds at Penn State.
The Big Red improved on its 2010-11 win totals both overall and in conference play this past season, ending the year 12-16 (7-7 Ivy League) in the second season under Courtney. Cornell will return three starters and 10 letter winners next season.

If your dog has the balls (no pun intended) to sit back and lick his 'family jewels' while you're watching, what do you think he's up to when he's home alone?
Have you ever left your dog home alone, unsupervised for an extended period of time? When you've done so, did you walk into a house in immaculate condition? Or were the natural instincts of your canine friend unleashed as if a tornado stormed through the hallways, leaving shredded tissue paper scattered through all corners of the house and bite marks on your newly painted baseboards?
Before you ask yourself how one dirty sock traveled all the way from your laundry basket to the inside drawer of your entertainment center, consider who truly may be at fault in this situation. Did you forget about Murphy's Law – what has seemingly become the governing law of the land? I'm not trying to be cynical here in expecting the worst in any situation, but I am simply advocating the need to be prepared when nature takes it's course and your loving fur ball leaves a welcome home present on your throw blanket – one that doesn't smell like roses.
Unless you've got your dog locked up in a cage and under 24 hour surveillance, how do you really know what your dog is up to when he's home alone?
How does your dog's (private activities) relate to email marketing?
Take this a step further and question your email marketing evaluation strategy. Once you've designed your email creative, set up your landing page to effectively capture leads or sales, uploaded your verified email list, and hit the send button, do you pat yourself on the back with a job well done and call it a day? In the hustle and bustle that accompanies the implementation of an email marketing campaign, the evaluation process is often the most overlooked, yet most important piece of the puzzle. How do you truly know if your email marketing campaign is performing at its full potential without monitoring delivery, open rate, interactions with the email creative, click through rate, or return on investment? You don't. This is where the dog comparison comes into play. Just as you don't know what your dog is up to when you're not at home, you can't have any idea how your email marketing campaign is working if you don't review the stats, tracking and details of everything else that makes up your results. If you don't invest the time and resources into properly reviewing all of your stats, you're setting yourself up for a series of costly mistakes that could take a toll on your bottom line. Of course, you're not expected to hit a home run your first time at bat, but that's why we often like to say that Mistakes & Failures are the Key to Success. Taking the information you learn from your stats will enable you to make the proper changes and tweak each new campaign you send to result in better deliverability, increased open rates and interaction and generate the best possible ROI.
However, what if I told you that there is an easy way to promote your products or services to non-customers and track your results while getting the biggest bang for your buck? Through the Guaranteed Opens Email Marketing Program, you have the ability to launch a series of email deployments until the campaign has generated a certain number of "opens". An "open" is determined by the email creative being delivered to the users inbox, without their images being blocked. Say, for instance, you enroll in the 80K Guaranteed Opens Program. This doesn't mean we will send to 80,000 people and cross our fingers that every single person will receive that email in their inbox, open and read it. Only a percentage of emails sent in an email campaign deployment will actually land in the inbox of the recipient, for a variety of reasons.

What is the only way to know the true percentage of emails that have been delivered to the inbox and opened, without images being blocked? The answer lies in real-time tracking. Access to the live tracking link enables you to monitor the performance of your email campaign. This reporting tool tracks the number of emails sent, the number of emails opened, and the number of unique clicks on each link embedded in your email creative.
If, for instance, we launch a single deployment to 100,000 business decision makers and/or consumers online and only 20,000 recipients open the email, we have fulfilled 25% of your contract for 80,000 Guaranteed Opens. This means that you have the opportunity to streamline your offer and continue to deploy until 80,000 people open your email and review your advertisement. A thorough analysis of all of the performance variables detailed in the live tracking report of your first deployment will give insight into what can be done, tweaked or changed to improve the next deployment. Perhaps it's using a different email creative, or perhaps it's just a matter of tweaking the subject line to further relate to your audience or peak their interest to help entice them to open and read the email you have sent.
Whatever it is, we are here every step of the way to offer our expertise and a professional opinion. With 15+ years in the industry, we have seen our fair share of dogs gone wild and have witnessed Murphy's Law in full effect. Don't make the mistake of leaving your marketing to chance, because your dog can take care of himself. You can't stop your dog from buffing the family jewels, but you can monitor the stats of your email marketing efforts to make a positive difference.

Dr. Dooley's research examines the influence of nationalism on state power and in particular, the way that regional minorities in Western and Eastern Europe have either benefitted or been harmed by their respective governments. Since nationalism is related to political movements, Dooley has also published in a variety of journals on topics related to ethics, terrorism, and foreign policy. In 2011, Professor Dooley was named Dean of the Honors School.

7i vs 7Hi
I sure this question has already been raisied a few times already, but what the heck...
I am having trouble deciding which camera to purchase: the 7i or 7Hi?
I am not sure the price difference is worth it. In addition, my guess is that the 7i price will drop further as the 7Hi becomes more available.
What do you really get for the money?
Better grip - nice, but little impact on picture quality
Better Autofocus? - not sure if this is true. Some reviews mention it, but there is little talk about it. Can anyone comment on this?
Flash sync terminal - nice, but will rarely use
Extra level of JPEG compression (extra Fine) - less compression is always a good thing without the RAW or TIFF file sizes
Continuous Drive Advance - Could be useful, but only small % of time
There a few other improvements, but do they all add up to a $250 difference? What do you think? And if you think the 7Hi is worth the extra $, then what new feature has the most value?

He says Al Michaels and Doc Rivers, lead game announcers, have been "superb." But he'll have to replace Rivers, leaving to coach the Boston Celtics, and studio analyst Byron Scott, who'll coach the New Orleans Hornets.
Charles Barkley,whom Pearl worked with at TNT, would be a no-brainer. But Pearl, noting Barkley has two seasons to go at TNT, says even the idea Barkley would join ABC's Monday Night Football was "blown way out of proportion. It's not like I'm saying, 'Go break your contract.' "
Adding Bill Walton, now relegated to ESPN after calling NBA Finals on ABC and NBC, would make sense — even for cameos on the current Finals. The Hall of Famer's idiosyncratic takes can leave viewers speechless, and his son Luke plays for the Los Angeles Lakers. But on this series, Pearl says, Walton could only be "incorporated as a fan and father, not as a commentator."
Asked about studio analyst Tom Tolbert, who gives ABC welcome unpredictability, Pearl responds only with an overview: "In the studio, I never consider how one person works but how the group works."
TV rookies will get a look. "I've always believed in having people who've been recently involved in the game," Pearl says. "It's a matter of waiting to see which players retire or coaches are out of work."
P.S. In comments on race and the NBA on ESPN, Larry Bird said he was "irritated" at the "disrespect" of having a white player guard him. Tolbert, who averaged 6.5 points a game in seven NBA seasons, sometimes guarded Bird. Tolbert remembers hearing, from teammate Chris Mullin, that Bird was miffed at Tolbert's ethnicity: "But I never took offense. It went on all the time, among white guys and black guys."
Tolbert's take on the NBA's marquee team: "If the Lakers win, it would only be the fourth-best Laker team to win the title in the past five years."
New coach:
John Sawatsky was an investigative reporter, journalism professor and author of best-selling books that focused on topics such as politics and espionage. But he'll become a staffer at ESPN on June 21, though, as a Canadian, he doesn't watch it: "We don't get ESPN. It's our cultural protectionism."
Sawatsky didn't expect to work for Disney "in a million years." But ESPN executive editor John Walsh happened on a feature about "Canada's premier investigative reporter and foremost expert on interviewing" in the October 2000 issue of American Journalism Review. Having worked with 60 to 70 ESPN staffers as a consultant, Sawatsky will work with staffers in ESPN's TV, radio, online and print outlets.
ESPN's staffers report on sports the network paid millions to cover and even events the network owns. But Sawatsky says there are "always conflicts of interest" in media work. Besides, "Objectivity has never existed. The only thing you can do is disclose."
And some ESPN staffers are known to use on-air opportunities to try to draw attention to themselves. "The more famous somebody becomes, the more they step on their guests," he says. "That's what's happening with (NBC/HBO's) Bob Costas."
For ESPN staffers, an early Sawatsky tip: "There's only one star in an interview — and it's not you."
College football's Bowl Championship Series can't be accused on kowtowing to TV — or even fans. The BCS announced Thursday changes for bowls that will follow the 2006 season. How's this for excitement? The two spots that will be added presumably will be for teams not good enough for the four current BCS bowls. And BCS bowl results still will have no effect on who gets to play in the national title game.
Brace for more controversial or inconclusive title matchups. But ABC, still interested in the BCS, is publicly stoic. Says ABC's Mark Mandel, "We don't have any authority in decisions about BCS formats."
ESPN Shorts are 90-second ad vignettes meant to be light and relatively subtle — they're simply injected into SportsCenter and the advertiser is only evident through product placement. They're equivalent to ad logos on athletes or cars because you're supposed to see them before you can channel surf during predictable ad breaks. "The envelope is being more than pushed," ESPN's Walsh says. "That's the way the world is today. But as (ex-ESPN head) Steve Bornstein used to tell me, 'Get used to it. Someday, (ads) will be on our anchors' foreheads.' " ... NBC says it will spend less on its Athens Olympic coverage than it did for the 2000 Sydney Games — despite nearly tripling TV hours. One belt-tightening move: NBC will bring along just 14,000 pounds of Starbucks coffee, compared with lugging 16,000 pounds to Sydney. ... With SportsCenter becoming available this week in high-definition TV, anchor Rece Davis says on-air types are nervous: "Anybody on TV who says they're not vain is lying. And you worry that viewers, instead of listening to what you're saying, will be thinking, 'Look at that zit on Davis' nose.' "

Tour Diary! Whoo!
*My friend Susan just sent me a whole bunch of new pictures, so I have significantly added to the Cambridge, Mass. portion of this post.*
So I just went to the East Coast to do a few shows with Andrew Hardin, a voyage my friend Kim dubbed the Tour de Snark. And she was right!
But before I begin, I would like perform a public service and inform you that the Sheraton Logan Airport, in case you plan to go there, is not at Logan Airport. It's about 15 miles away, which during rush hour is about 45 minutes away. A travel tip from me.
However, the restaurant in the hotel does Teppan! So after a long day of travel – me from LA and Andy from Austin – we had a pre-band rehearsal dinner with this guy:
Andy took the picture. All the cool Hipstamatic pictures are his.
On Friday, we got the rental car, installed my Neo figurine in the cup holder, and drove north to Gloucester on a beautiful Fall day:
Here's our obligatory tourist picture in front of the statue of the mariner. Andy took this one. We also posed for another one (which he didn't send me) that a nice lady offered to take. "We're on our honeymoon," Andy told her. She smiled. "We're married to other people," he added. I should say "unsuspecting" nice lady. And the Tour de Snark is off to a good start!
Here is a close-up of the plaque commemorating the lost sailors of Gloucester. Hollywood's tentacles are powerful, as the only name that shows visible evidence of having paper rubbed over it is the swordboat captain played by George Clooney in A Perfect Storm:
The elusive Andrew Hardin:
"My Next Album Cover," according to Andrew:
Pretty Gloucester house:
So we did a show in New Hampshire at the home of old Ojai friends Sally and Alex. Great picture of them:
And then the next day we drove from New Hampshire to Connecticut. They love Fall on the East Coast:
After a stop at the Guitar Center in Hartford – with its requisite cacophony of shredding – we arrived at the home of Dixie Todd, a Perry cousin, who was hosting us for a beautiful supper concert. Here's Andy warming up:
And here's the barn and her living room the night of the show.
Beautiful evening, friendly people, great night.
You can see lots more pictures and a description at Dixie's blog, which is written by my second cousin Kate. Great blog here. Dixie is an event planner of the first degree.
This is Dixie's house. It was built in 1740. Really, really beautiful.
I stayed upstairs in a lovely room with a blue bed and pressed linen sheets. That was a first for me.
The next morning, Dixie and I walked to the little graveyard adjacent to her property and said hello to her folks – Uncle Dick and Aunt Allene. I loved them both – they were very involved in the lives of my dad and his sisters after their parents died young.
Then, from Dixie's slowly making our way towards Boston, and more picturesque East Coast Autumn:
Finally to Cambridge, to our venue – Outpost 186 which has a production rider every bit as entertaining as Iggy Pop's.
"2. Noise 1: Never EVER make any noise before 8pm on weekdays or the shrinks upstairs will have angry passive aggressive shit-fits and call da cops. Also bear in mind it is a small modest-volume recital space. It is not a place for high decibel blast rituals and keep the Marshall stacks at home. Smoke machines and other big dumb show biz impediments are utterly out of the question. Little things like video projection (a screen is provided) or small charming props are fine."
By the way, the Hipstamatic pictures from Cambridge were taken by Susan Chien.
Here I am getting into my rock and roll shoes.
And here, Andy is restraining himself (barely) from saying something about it.
Andy and me warming up:
My little Lunchbox amp dominates the behemoth below:
The power of Keanu compels you to tip!
You are getting very…generous!
And a final picture from Susan, from the 7-11 down the street:
I know better than to be photographed eating such a thing.
Happy to be singing for my family! These pictures were taken by my aunt Piper's friend Michael Shaffer. Great pictures!
And I got to see my friend Susan Chien, who animated the dream sequence of my video for "Keanuville!"
Me and the fam:
My cousin Dan, with whom I lived in the fourth grade. If you need a limo driver in Boston, he's your man. He's driven many celebrities and his encyclopedic knowledge of the city inspired a change in the screenplay for a major motion picture. Ask him about the Great Molasses Flood and he can tell you all about a fascinating bit of history.
Andy and the family:
The next day we took the train to NYC, and I finished my knitting project: a baby cocoon for my niece's brand new little one! I put my water bottle in it for scale.
And finally – New York, New York, big city of dreams. But everything in New York ain't always what it seems!
We came down there because when you hire a world class guitar player for small gigs and he asks if there's any chance while you're on the East Coast you can see the de Kooning exhibit at MOMA, you add a day and take the train down to make him happy, even if he is really snarky. I wish I could have posted a picture of Andy at MOMA, but no photos allowed in there. Let's just say that he was in Heaven, educating me about de Kooning and his evolution from early still lives, to the "Woman" series, to "Excavation" and so on. A very happy boy. Just imagine he's standing in front of this picture:
And so, in closing, I present to you the culmination of the whole trip, from de Kooning's little-known photography period, entitled "Guitarist With Woman":
Thanks for reading!
