Anonymous, 15 Feb 2013GS2 was RGB not Pentile. Did you really own the GS2? No really? I believe him. Sgs2 has low ppi and the giant pixels can easily be mistaken for Pentile for those who have a somewhat moderate knowledge of cellphone tech terms. For sure the xperia U must have been amazingly sharp when he came from Sgs2, higher resolution in a much smaller display.

This news story needs correction. Phone house Germany is now selling Sony Xperia ZL for 549.99, and Xperia Z for 649.99 inclusive of VAT.
Interestingly you can purchase Xperia Z for only 529.99 (including VAT) from EXPANSYS UK. If you live outside Europe and the VAT is not applicable on you, then you can get it for 442 only plus delivery charges.

It's then obvious that you can't tell the difference between Pentile and RGB.
I bought a Galaxy SII in the end of 2011 with great expectations. I prefered SII over iPhone coz the former was cheaper. And ofcourse all those +ve reviews played a big role for buying SII.
I should say it didn't let me down. But I didn't like one of its biggest selling point - the display. The color looks artificial on it. The pentile matrix was a big let down. The display used to get very hot after browsing the net for sometime. 99% time I use my smartphone for browsing net. And for talking I use a Nokia feature phone.
I find GSMarena always highlight lesser viewing angle of display as a negative point. But I couldn't disagree more. Rather it is great advantage for the user. We always hold phone directly infront of our eyes. Who wants to share their screen in a public place?
Anyhow after six months I dumped SII in favour of Sony Xperia U. despite some limitations I am happy with it. And from my
experience I can tell you that Sony would conquer the mobile world again.
NB: display would play a big part in a smartphone's success. cause we are using more time on looking at the phone than talking.

"the ppi of note 2 is very low..."
r u mad? your beloved iphone had lower ppi when it launched. same for the ipad. wat world do u guys live in? retina is nice but overhyped, s2 has 220 ppi n sold like anything!
Common_636, 14 Feb 2013My opinion though is yes Sony is rising, but... in this era we living in, most flagships carri... moretrue but it is better to have a hardware features that can give exclusive to company brand rather than software. cause if you buy a phone it is hard to modify the innovative or feature product in the hardware aspect. but in softwares just like samsung smart feature, you can get it as long as the hardware supports it. go to google playstore and download it. And besides hardware features if ever it has perform not good the software can support it and fix it without giving your phone to the service center just like updates, or install software like example sony xperia T camera, if you dont like it get a camera 360 apps or some other program enhancement.
so in this aspect Z is worth to buy cause what lacks of this product is software optimization. Hardware features from exmor r down to processor performance up to product design. its all been packed great satisfaction.

Palin: Obama's State of Union Address Full of 'WTF' Moments
This is a rush transcript from "On the Record," January 26, 2011. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: What are we going to do about jobs? We need jobs! President Obama spoke last night about the economy. Is he on the right track? And is he aggressive enough?
Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin joins us live. Good evening, Governor.
SARAH PALIN, FOX CONTRIBUTOR/FORMER ALASKA GOVERNOR: Hi, Greta. How are you?
VAN SUSTEREN: I'm very well, but there are a lot of Americans aren't. They need jobs. What are we going to do about jobs? Do you have an idea that's any way different from what the president said last night because we're looking for all options?
PALIN: Well, speaking of last night, that was a tough speech to have to sit through and kind of try to stomach because the president is so off base in his ideas on how it is that he believes the government is going to create jobs. Obviously, government growth won't create any jobs. It's the private sector that can create the jobs.
And his theme last night in the Speaker of the House was the "WTF," you know, "Winning the Future." And I thought, "OK, that acronym, spot on." There were a lot of "WTF" moments throughout that speech, namely, when he made the statement, Greta, that he believed that we can't allow ourselves to, I guess, eventually become buried under a mountain of debt. That right there tells you he is so disconnected from reality! The problem is, we are buried under a mountain of debt, and jobs cannot be created by the private sector. We cannot grow and thrive and prosper as a nation when we are buried under this $14 trillion debt.
VAN SUSTEREN: You know, the thing that I find enormously distressful -- and I'm lucky that FOX sends me out on the road so much because I get to meet people across the country. I get to walk the streets of small towns, medium towns. But even today, everyone was so excited because the Dow hit 12,000, then it fell back a little bit, but like, that was some huge, great thing. And I thought to myself, yes, big deal. The rich people can put money in the market. They can run it up past 12,000. But what about the person who's trying to get a job, who's been unemployed for six months, two years, who's having to shutter his or her business? I mean, it's like the attention's in the wrong place.
PALIN: Yes. Exactly. The Dow goes up and down. What we have seen in terms of consistency, though, is 20 months of nearly 10 percent unemployment, 17 percent of underemployment. And government is not doing anybody any favors by thinking that just growing more, spending more -- the president's new term for spending more money and growing government is "investing."
Now, well, government is not doing our job creators any favors by growing government and taking over more of what the private sector could and should be doing, certainly not doing anybody any favors when, as he said last night, he still supports taxing a higher rate on the job creators. He says it's the 2 percent of the population that are the rich. Well, those 2 percent are the job creators. And it is punishing success, by the way.
VAN SUSTEREN: So what do -- what would you do? What should we do? Because as a practical matter, I mean, if you do lower taxes, it is indeed true there's less revenue into the treasury, so we get deeper into debt and our deficit gets higher. I mean, it's a sort of a trade-off. But on the other hand, it gives private businesses a chance to have a little more money to try to get the economy going. But you know, what exactly would you do differently than what the president is suggesting?
PALIN: Obviously, stop digging this hole that we are in. We have got to quit incurring the debt and exercising the deficit spending that Washington, D.C., has gotten just too comfortable with. And we do need to cut the budget, not just stall the spending spree that we have been on, on this historic level of government growth, but actually start cutting.
We need to cut these things that aren't constitutionally mandated, that are kind of on the periphery, the fluffery like NPR and National Endowment for the Arts, those type of things. Those are obvious. But we also have got to not fund "Obama care" -- that's a job killer -- not fund any kind of cap-and-tax program -- that, too -- energy dependence on foreign countries and locking up more of our lands, those are job killers.
We've got to look at the entitlement programs. And for new enrollees, we have to be honest with them and let them know with these entitlement programs, that the benefits are not going to be the same benefits that those who have already paid into these programs for so many years are going to receive.
Now, Congressman Ryan and Rand Paul, John Stossel -- there are so many good Libertarian and conservative ideas already out there. We've just got to start applying those with the political will that is needed in Washington.
VAN SUSTEREN: You know, there are so many things that, you know, in terms of trying to get revenue -- I know it's chump change, but I -- and I know I even sound like a broken record on it, but for the last two nights, we've been talking about the fact that the American taxpayers made $160 million in attorney bills for some people who mismanaged Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They're getting off with a civil investigation, not a criminal investigation -- $160 million, that's chump change.
Last night, the president talked about the fact that we have -- the Department of Interior regulating salmon and we have the Department of Commerce regulating salmon. We hear about the SEC having lawyers who are downloading porn. Fire them. I mean, there are just -- I mean, I realize it's chump change, but it's almost, like, politicians won't clean up their own house. They run the government. They're the leaders.
PALIN: Now, that is exactly why Americans are so frustrated with Congress and with this White House. You have 435 House members. You have 100 senators. You have nine Supreme Court Justices and one president. You add up that number, and you look at those 500-some people and you realize they are the ones making the decisions that affect our everyday lives and affect our opportunities to either create more jobs or see unemployment continue to stay consistent at the level it is or even grow, unfortunately, in the future. They are to be held accountable.
People are frustrated with what goes on in Washington because you hear a lot of lip service. You hear the rhetoric. We heard it last night. And yet we don't see the changes.
That's why I'm excited about the Tea Party Movement, though. Look at the strength of Tea Party Americans ushering in, yes, some changes through the people that they elected. When you have people who are strong and principled and standing strong on their convictions about a smaller, smarter government and what we can do to shrink government, allow the states and our local communities and our families and businesses to have more control over our own lives, then we have hope because of people like Tea Party patriots, who are not going to just embrace the status quo that Washington politicians would be so used to.
VAN SUSTEREN: Let me ask you about some of the entitlement programs. I mean, let's talk about unemployment insurance. A lot of people have been unemployed for almost two years. And on occasion, we've extended the benefits. You know, what do we do about these people, people who really want to work and have tried because there's a lot of -- there's a lot of structural mismatch between skills that are needed in jobs and skills that people have. I mean -- I mean, people aren't just -- a lot of people aren't just collecting unemployment because they want to sit home and eat chocolates. They'd much rather work. Yet, you know, what are we going to do -- how do we help these people and actually get them back to work?
PALIN: We go back to the fundamentals of how it is that the private sector can create jobs. That's getting big government off our backs. It's allowing our job creators to keep more of what they earn so that they can reinvest according to their own priorities. And then they can hire more people and get people off those unemployment rolls. And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand just these common sense solutions because they've been tried in the past and they've proven in the past.
And they're proven in local communities when we cut taxes and then jobs are created. They're proven in states when we have to sue the feds when they overreach and try to thwart the 10th Amendment rights that a state would have. We see a problem with that going on on the federal level, too, by the way, Greta, is Barack Obama, our president, believing that it is a federal, centralized government and its growth that can be the solution to the problems that we face. Instead, allow the states to have more control. Allow our local communities, those on the front lines that - - the government that governs least governs best, and that usually is the most localized government.
VAN SUSTEREN: You mention the Tea Party, so I have to ask you about last night. The Republican response from Congressman Ryan from the great state of Wisconsin, I might add, had the Republican response. And then Congresswoman Michele Bachmann had the Tea Party response. And there was a lot of sort of grumbling behind the scenes at the Capitol last night about her giving this Tea Party response. Your thought. Was she trying to steal the thunder from the Republican Party? Was -- is she a spoiler? Is she going rogue? Is she doing something important?
PALIN: I love it when anybody goes rogue for the right reasons. And no, I appreciated that her message complemented Representative Ryan's message, and that was fine. Both of their messages, too, those conservative, common sense messages that they had on how to get the economy back on the right track, were really good and they were sound.
They were sound because they were in opposition to President Obama's message, which basically was, Hey, the era of big government is here as long as I am, and I'm going to find a way to make you pay for big government. That was the president's message. Now, both Michele Bachmann and Paul Ryan had messages that said, No, it's not big government growth that's going to be the answer. It's got to be our private sector being allowed finally to grow and thrive and to prosper. That's the solution.
VAN SUSTEREN: Do you think that -- I mean, it -- totally political strategy if -- you know, if I were running the Democratic Party and running the Republican Party, the first thing I'd worry about is that a sort of divide and conquer, that now Michele Bachmann is dividing the Republican Party. That seems great for the -- for the Democratic side.
PALIN: Well, you know, I've been accused of dividing within that establishment of the Republican Party, too, for some years now, and I don't see it as division. This is one thing that I love about the Republican Party. We believe in competition, even within our own party, you know, and we don't have just the fighting instincts of a bunch of sheep, like I think a lot of Democrats do. Instead, you know, we can duke it out in that marketplace of ideas within our own party. And we can have individuals and individual character traits within politicians being able to be made manifest in the way that we express our views.
That's all good. And we have healthy debate within the party. But I don't see that there is a fundamental division just because Michele Bachmann gave a speech last night that complemented another Republican speech. As a matter of fact, today I think you're going to see dozens, if not hundreds of those who have seats in Congress giving their responses, as Michele Bachmann did last night.
VAN SUSTEREN: Governor, if you're going to -- we're going to have more questions with you, so please stick around. Also ahead tonight: We have a new one, and that's a ferocious new debate is exploding over the president's health care bill. It is doubtful the White House saw this one coming. And that is coming up. And later: There is a big different between hearing about it and seeing it with your own eyes. And tonight, you're going to see it with your own eyes, illegal immigration. You've never seen anything like this - - detainees restrained and being delivered back to Mexico. We take you behind the scenes. We're back in just a few minutes. We are live at the Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach, Florida.
VAN SUSTEREN: Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin is still with us. And Governor, last night there was a lot of discussion about the Sputnik moment that the president talked about. Do you agree with him? Do you -- and is this our moment?
PALIN: That was another one of those WTF moments, when he so often repeated this Sputnik moment that he would aspire Americans to celebrate. And he needs to remember that what happened back then with the former communist USSR and their victory in that race to space, yes, they won, but they also incurred so much debt at the time that it resulted in the inevitable collapse of the Soviet Union.
So I listened to that Sputnik moment talk over and over again, and I think, No, we don't need one of those. You know what we need is a "spudnut" moment. And here's where I'm going with this, Greta. And you're a good one because you're one of those reporters who actually gets out there in the communities, find these hard-working people and find solutions to the problems that Americans face.
Well, the spudnut shop in Richland, Washington -- it's a bakery, it's a little coffee shop that's so successful, 60-some years, generation to generation, a family-owned business not looking for government to bail them out and to make their decisions for them. It's just hard-working, patriotic Americans in this shop.
We need more spudnut moments in America. And I wish that President Obama would understand, in that heartland of America, what it is that really results in the solutions that we need to get this economy back on the right track. It's a shop like that.
VAN SUSTEREN: All right, Governor, let me ask you a personal question. I understand that Bristol Palin might have a new job. There's a -- what's Bristol's new job?
PALIN: Well, speaking of Bristol, she's standing just a few feet away from me here as kind of my assistant today, hard-working, independent young woman. She's doing a lot of things right now. And yes, she has a job offer to do some reporting and hosting for a radio show. And not sure if she's going to take that one or one of the other job offers in front of her. But hard-working young woman, good example for some others.
VAN SUSTEREN: All right. You know, one of the other things the president talked about last night was civility and how we treat each other. And then sort of the -- you know, we teased Congress last night, the date night. I even teased Leader Pelosi when she was on the air last night, who was her date and everything. Are we being -- are we moving towards an era of more civility, where we even treat politicians with a sense of fairness and decency, or was that just last night?
PALIN: Oh, I watched that whole date night thing, the musical chairs orchestration last night, a little bit perplexed, wondering, you know, what all that theater was about. I'd rather that there had been more focus on what we believed that the president would say and what actually was said instead of, you know, the whole theatrics involved there. I thought that was a bit odd.
But healthy debate is important. The right to petition our government vigorously and respectfully is important. And yes, civil, which means civility, it means being well-mannered, that's very important. But we can't underestimate Americans who are very passionate about finding solutions to the problems that we face. And if that involves some healthy, vigorous debate, then allow it to be so.
VAN SUSTEREN: One quick last question. The media -- are we -- I mean, are we part of the problem? I know that you've been critical of the lamestream media, but are we -- are we challenging and are we asking and inquiring and getting information from our politicians, or are we being mean and nasty and trying to create a lot of trouble for all of you?
PALIN: Oh, the media is definitely a major part of the problem of the -- there's a problem of incivility in this nation, definitely, because so many in the media, the lamestream media, picking up on what goes viral with lies and innuendo and rumors that are in the blogosphere and elsewhere. For the lamestream media to pick up some of those things and run with it without getting facts, that perpetuates the problem that we have with some negative discourse in this country. So definitely, the media is a big part of the problem, and I certainly would like to see a lot of that changed.
VAN SUSTEREN: Well, it would -- it would be nice to see if we can have more discussion. I think that maybe -- maybe we're on to something in politics, in the media, to sort of really go after policy and learn things, or maybe it's just a passing fancy. But I guess time will tell. Governor, thank you.
PALIN: Thank you. And no, I would like to see a lot of that hypocrisy in the media cleaned up and -- you know, on all sides. That certainly would help in our country. Thank you, Greta.

Is outsourcing social media a smart strategy?
Back in December, I spotlighted a couple of E-Commerce Times articles that attempted to walk companies through the particulars of doing so. Like several of the experts quoted in the articles I agreed that outsourcing does make sense for many companies since social media isn't likely to be a core competency. After all, even companies with internal marketing staffs regularly bring in specialists to work on traditional marketing campaigns. And social media is hardly traditional. It's a nascent area, and one that's still confusing on a lot of levels.
A recent Mashable item by Tom Smith, founder of Trendstream, a consultancy specializing in social media, presents six reasons why even big companies with formidable marketing divisions struggle with their social media campaigns. Among them: No one is sure exactly who should be responsible for social media, as it includes elements of marketing, PR, communications, content production and Web development. Unlike traditional marketing channels, social media rarely involves short-term objectives. The metrics used to measure success aren't as straightforward as those for more conventional media campaigns. The list reinforces the idea of bringing in some external expertise.
In the course of debunking six "myths" about social media on her whatsnextblog.com, B.L. Ochman also came out in favor of outsourcing at least some aspects of social media.(His myth No. 4:You can do it all in-house.) Still, a few of her other myths get to the heart of some well-founded concerns about outsourcing social media.
Myth No. 2 , for example, is: Anyone can do it. She notes that among those following Robert Scoble on Twitter are 1,652 social media marketers, 513 social media consultants, 272 social media strategists, 180 social media experts and 98 social media gurus. (Raise your hand if you're among those who are sick of hearing the word "guru" used for anything other than a spiritual guide. Mine is up.) Ochman writes: "How many of them have actually created a successful campaign for clients using social media tools? I bet you'd be hard-pressed to find half a dozen with real track records." Exactly.
Forrester Research's Jeremiah Owyang addressed the same topic in a recent post on his Web Strategy blog. After noting that "self-proclaimed gurus have appeared from everywhere," Owyang writes that the recession will cause companies to more carefully consider whom they entrust with their social media strategies, whether those folks are in-house or outside specialists. Real practitioners will "focus on moving the needle to create actionable programs that generate leads, increase sales, decrease support costs, or make innovation more efficient."
Let's hope so. As I wrote in August, concern about quantifiable results remains one of the biggest sticking points for companies considering adopting Web 2.0 tools and technologies (including those used for social media). There are many opinions on how the recession will affect Web 2.0. Like Owyang, I tend to think the recession will force companies to more carefully consider their Web 2.0 strategies. (Nothing kills the inclination to try something just because it's trendy quite like an awful economy.) And that includes getting someone who can back up the "guru" title on his or her LinkedIn profile with actual qualifications and a track record of success.

Hi - excellent post - thanks for including me. but, ahem, B.L. Ochman is not a man. :>)Reply
Oh, the shame. I will change your gender in this post and in an earlier one in which I name-checked you. Though social media is one of the areas I occasionally write about, it's not my primary expertise -- as is obvious from the fact that I wasn't familiar w/ your impressive bio.Reply
I've noticed that social media is attracting a huge amount of snake oil salespeople. I wonder if, at this point, anybody really knows what it takes to be successful at social media - and is it really any different than what it takes to be successful at marketing in general.
Frankly, I can't see why you'd outsource it. I can't imagine companies are reaping such huge benefits from social media that they can't just tack it onto somebody's existing job. I'd love to see some proof that paying for a social media campaign pays off.Reply
Outsourcing Social Media? I'm not sure.
Here is a consideration:
Hire experienced people who help you create a strategy, create a plan and advice you execute that plan. If that is considered outsourcing that's fine. Make sure you know who you are hiring! Don't trust anything but the social web itself.
But you should avoid under any circumstance to outsource what you need to do in social media - it's like you have no time for your partner and therefor send a friend
Not sure that would be a good idea either.
Just my 2 cents
BlogBrevity says: Even the true social media marketing "experts" (http://tinyurl.com/7xvk42) are reticent about using the term "expert." The landscape is constantly changing. Marketers need to remember that social media content must align with business goals and user needs to be successful. Creating "relevant" content will engage the customer and deliver on social media campaigns. Those who enjoyed a brief honeymoon because they jumped on the bandwagon first will be weeded out again by those that deliver with an authentic voice. The customer's voice has never been more powerful.Reply
Outsourcing SOME things can be a solution (but be careful what you do outsource as you don't want to be giving a stranger your voice), but I find wiht the many companies I work with as a social media consultant, that the main problem is not time, it's not who does what - but what it really is, is that they haven't taken the first steps, to outline their goals and develop a well thought out plan. If they do that, everything else falls into place.Reply
In my experience, entrepreneurs looking to outsource social media are those focused more on sales than on marketing. They want the "immediate dollars" rather than the long-term relationship, and they're willing to let someone else handle the details.
Big mistake.
No one is ever going to represent your company better than your own staff. If you've hired well, let those great team members shine on your social media platform. Sure, they may need some training, but we all do when it comes to something new.
Thanks for the article.

Chris Matthews: Gulf Coast Oil Spill Shows How, 'Private Money Making Can Cost Our World.'
Can we call him a socialist now?
MSNBC host Chris Matthews told his audience,
"We have this rare teaching moment, this moment when you see precisely how suddenly private money making can cost our world."
…Because making money causes oil spills.
Click on Photo for Video–
Here's the transcript:
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Let me finish tonight with a joke and a tragedy. Comedian Robert Klein once told the woman at the restaurant, speaking to a waiter, "I`ll have my coffee now, my coffee." When precisely, the comedian asked, did it become my coffee. When she thought of it? When she ordered it? When she was ready for it?
So when did this oil that`s now floating in the Gulf of Mexico become our oil? When did it cease to be the property of the oil company that was drilling and become the responsibility of the Coast Guard or the American people, who don`t earn a red cent of it, to handle the cleanup. When did it become our oil ruining our national habitat? Good question.
And while we have this rare teaching moment, this moment when you see precisely how suddenly private money making can cost our world, where BP`s oil to make money with becomes our oil destroying our water and fish and coastline and wetlands, our oil to clean up.
Maybe tomorrow he'll comment on the administration's pathetic response to this ecological disaster?

"It's not the end of it," said Frederick G. Kestler, an Avondale Run resident who helped organize opposition to the project. "The property still stays commercial."
The City Council voted unanimously Monday night not to allow a Howard County developer to build a 128,000-square-foot shopping center on 20 acres at Route 31 and Fenby Farm Road.

Activision: West & Zampella Blocked IW Bonuses!
Only yesterday, we were moaning that we hadn't heard anything from the ongoing lawsuit between Activision and the disgruntled ex-Infinity Ward creatives West and Zampella. However, the full shocking details of Activision's countersuit against EA and the ex-Infinity Ward developers have now emerged. The brief alleges that "emboldened by their secret alliance with Electronic Arts, [West and Zampella] refused to adhere to even the minimal standards of behavior required of any employee or executive." Specifically, they reportedly refused to work with Treyarch and instigated a rivalry between the two studios (which may have just been some friendly competition).
Here's where things really start to get interesting. Activision also accuses West and Zampella of withholding the names of Infinity Ward employees who were due bonuses in order to make them more likely to defect! To avoid any confusion, here's the allegation in full.
In order to make it unlikely that these employees of Activision's Infinity Ward studio would remain with Activision, West and Zampella attempted to block those employees from receiving significant equity grants and/or other compensation, suggesting instead that Activision provide the additional compensation to West and Zampella alone, not to the many valued employees to whom Activision was offering this extra compensation.
Yikes, we're not touching that one. We'd love to get your take on it though! [CVG]
EA, the co-defendant, has responded to the claims; calling them "petty" and a "deliberate misdirection." [CVG]
As always, these are one-sided allegations that need to be digested with a little context and a huge scoop of salt. Looking back through the available evidence and arguments, it does seem possible that West & Zampella were in breach of contract... which still didn't give Activision the right to impose untold misery and withhold bonuses from their hardworking studio. Discuss.

Zelda: Skyward Sword Is Half Complete
The Wii needs more Zelda. We need more Zelda. The long-awaited Zelda: Skyward Sword was finally unveiled during Nintendo's presser at this year's E3 and slated for an "early 2011" release... but the latest reports suggest that might be a little optimistic.
In an interview with Pocket-Lint, Ninty Guru Shigeru Miyamoto states that Skyward Sword is "over half complete"... which unfortunately means that there's a lot more to do when translated it into devspeak. A playable demo build is up and running- but we reckon that Nintendo will have their work cut out to deliver by "early 2011" - but to be honest, we'll wait as long as we have to.
Apparently Skyward Sword will feature "dense" gameplay with plenty of new mechanics and a storybook graphical style. In the meantime, Matt's super-detailed super-awesome preview should help whet your appetite.

October 17, 1979
The opinion of the court was delivered by: TROUTMAN
Defendants move to dismiss certain allegations contained in plaintiff's complaint, which alleges generally that defendants discriminated against her during her employment with defendant Easton Publishing Company (Easton) on the basis of sex.
First, defendants contend that the Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e Et seq. (Title VII) over individual defendants not named in plaintiff's EEOC complaint. In charges filed with the EEOC plaintiff specifically mentioned defendant Easton. In the space provided for "others who discriminated against you (if any)", plaintiff wrote, "With above company, I name Managing Editor Robert Jodon and Metro Editor William MacNeil (no other companies)".
However, when plaintiff instituted this action she also included the chairman of the board, the president (who also acted as general manager, editor and treasurer), two vice-presidents, the assistant treasurer, the family section and assistant news editors. Defendants consider this omission violative of 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f)(1), which provides that after notice of Right to Sue "a civil action may be brought against the Respondent named in the charge." (emphasis added)
Resolving the question of whether plaintiff's failure to include some of the present individual defendants in her EEOC complaint precludes proceeding against them in her present complaint requires striking the appropriate, and indeed delicate, balance between the "goal of conciliation without resort to the already overburdened federal courts" with the
availability of complete redress of legitimate grievances without undue encumbrance by procedural requirements especially when demanding full and technical compliance would have no relation to the purposes for requiring those procedures in the first instance.
Glus v. G. C. Murphy Co., 562 F.2d 880, 888 (3d Cir. 1977). The policy considerations underlying the requirement of § 2000e-5(f)(1) and the restrictive interpretation thereof adopted by many courts contemplate the possibility of resolving disputes without the antipathies spawned by litigation and of affording the prospective defendant an opportunity to comply with the law voluntarily or to explain and justify his conduct prior to the expense and publicity of litigation. To allow plaintiff to include defendants unnamed in the EEOC complaint denies them this valuable and salutary opportunity. Therefore, holding plaintiff to this requirement is not mechanical or unthinking allegiance to legal hypertechnicalities; instead it is recognizing a basic element of the administrative remedy, "furnishing of notice to an alleged Title VII offender and . . . providing an opportunity to conciliate." Peterson v. Lehigh Valley District Council, 453 F. Supp. 735, 739-40 (E.D.Pa.1978). Moreover, elimination of these individual defendants will not obliterate plaintiff's prospect of recovering for the alleged sex discrimination. The principal defendant, Easton, which employed all the previously unnamed defendants, remains a viable defendant, and it is Easton which alone has the power to reinstate and otherwise make financial compensation to plaintiff.
Finally, the factors
to be considered in making this determination also point to the same conclusion for several reasons. For one, at the time plaintiff filed her complaint she was well aware of the role of the previously unnamed defendants. In fact, five days after filing her EEOC complaint she appended thereto an exegesis relating to her employment history and mentioning several of these people. For another, plaintiff has not suggested that they represented to her that their relationship to plaintiff should be through Easton.
If plaintiff believed this possibility, she would not have named Jodon and MacNeil in the EEOC complaint. Finally, the absence of the unnamed defendants from the EEOC proceedings may have resulted in prejudice to them, for, as noted above, they lost the opportunity to comply, explain or justify.
In Scott v. University of Delaware, 385 F. Supp. 937 (D.Del.1974), plaintiff named only the university in his EEOC complaint. His district court complaint, however, added members of the board of trustees and various other university officials and faculty members in their individual and official capacities. The court, dismissing the newly added defendants, declared that "(w)hile liberality in construction should be favored, minimum standards of statutory compliance are essential to avoid bypassing of the (EEOC) and the statutory emphasis on voluntary compliance and conciliation". Id. at 941. See also Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. MacMillan Bloedel Containers, Inc., 503 F.2d 1086 (6th Cir. 1974), Evans v. Sheraton Park Hotel, 164 U.S.App.D.C. 86, 503 F.2d 177 (1974), Bowe v. Colgate-Palmolive Co., 416 F.2d 711 (7th Cir. 1969), Miller v. International Paper Co., 408 F.2d 283 (5th Cir. 1969), Mickel v. South Carolina State Employment Service, 377 F.2d 239 (4th Cir.), Cert. denied, 389 U.S. 877, 88 S. Ct. 177, 19 L. Ed. 2d 166 (1967), Lewis v. Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, 440 F. Supp. 887 (E.D.Pa.1977), Flesch v. Eastern Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute, 434 F. Supp. 963 (E.D.Pa.1977), Harris v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, 419 F. Supp. 10 (M.D.Pa.1976), Beck v. Mather, 417 F. Supp. 648 (W.D.Va.1976), Harbert v. Rapp, 415 F. Supp. 83 (W.D.Okla.1976), Bernstein v. National Liberty International Corp., 407 F. Supp. 709 (E.D.Pa.1976), Presseisen v. Swarthmore College, 71 F.R.D. 34 (E.D.Pa.1976), Jackson v. University of Pittsburgh, 405 F. Supp. 607 (W.D.Pa.1975), Jones v. United Gas Improvement Corp., 68 F.R.D. 1 (E.D.Pa.1975). Because plaintiff did not name the individual defendants other than Jodon and MacNeil, this Court lacks jurisdiction over these defendants under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e. Accordingly, defendants' motion to dismiss the defendants not named in the EEOC complaint will be granted.
Plaintiff's cause of action under § 1985(3) will also be dismissed. The deprivation of a right under Title VII cannot be the basis of a § 1985(3) claim, Great American Federal Savings & Loan Association v. Novotny, 442 U.S. 366, 99 S. Ct. 2345, 60 L. Ed. 2d 957 (1979), and while § 1985(3)
does not require that a defendant act under color of state law, there still can be no claim for relief based on a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment if there has been no involvement by the State. The requirement of state action, in this context, is no more than a requirement that there be a constitutional violation.
Here, there is no claim of such a violation. Private discrimination on the basis of sex is not prohibited by the Constitution. The right to be free of sex discrimination by other private parties is a statutory right that was created almost a century after § 1985(c) was enacted. . . . (T)hat statute was (not) intended to provide a remedy for the violation of statutory rights let alone rights created by statutes that had not yet been enacted . . . (§ 1985(3)) does not provide respondent with redress for injuries caused by private conspiracies to discriminate on the basis of sex.
Id. at -- , 99 S. Ct. at 2355 (Stevens, J., concurring).
Likewise, plaintiff's claims which allege violations of the Equal Pay Act, 29 U.S.C. § 206(d), by the individual defendants will also be dismissed. On its face the Act applies only to employers and provides that
(no) employer having employees subject to any provisions of this section shall discriminate, within any establishment in which such employees are employed, between employees on the basis of sex by paying wages to employees in such establishment at a rate less than the rate at which he pays wages to employees of the opposite sex in such establishment for equal work on jobs the performance of which requires equal skill, effort, and responsibility, and which are performed under similar working conditions . . .
Plaintiff contends that the broad definition of "employer"
within the Act includes the individual defendants, who act as editors and managers of the newspaper. The determination of whether an employee is covered by the Act is governed by practical considerations and not technical conceptions. Mitchell v. C. W. Vollmer & Co., 349 U.S. 427, 75 S. Ct. 860, 99 L. Ed. 1196 (1955). Examination of the work relationship properly focuses on the underlying economic realities. Goldberg v. Whitaker House Cooperative Inc., 366 U.S. 28, 81 S. Ct. 933, 6 L. Ed. 2d 100 (1961), United States v. Silk, 331 U.S. 704, 67 S. Ct. 1463, 91 L. Ed. 1757 (1947), Rutherford Food Corp. v. McComb, 331 U.S. 722, 67 S. Ct. 1473, 91 L. Ed. 1772 (1947). In these circumstances no claim is made that the responsible entity is not plaintiff's employer or that the culpable party can be reached only by disengaging complicated inter- or intra-corporate concatenations. Easton, undoubtedly plaintiff's employer, remains ...

Interstages, Inc. Interstages, Inc.
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
Interstages provides opportunities for early adolescents in low-income neighborhoods to discover talents, develop and strengthen skills, and heighten self-awareness, setting the stage for a successful transition into young adulthood.
Interstages is an emerging nonprofit afterschool program that arose from the concerns of two DCPS teachers, Noel Tieszen and Herb Scott, about the supports and skills their students needed in order to achieve greater success in school and in life. Their answer: structured afterschool activities, individualized academic support, and opportunities for creative expression.
Afterschool programs provide more than a safe-environment for kids to hang out with peers. For early adolescent youth, these programs play a critical role in their transition to young adulthood. At Interstages, our belief that success is in the experience forms the very core of our program. Our uniquely integrated program provides a relaxed and engaging environment where students can feel comfortable to express themselves and know that their voices are heard. As they are given the opportunity to experience success through everyday achievements, our students learn to become more confident in their abilities and in themselves.

The Best 10 Years of Radio magazine
The Best 10 Years of Radio magazine
Jul 1, 2003 12:00 PM
The first issue of Radio magazine appeared in January 1994 as a supplement to Broadcast Engineering magazine. The new publication was a sign of the times; the broadcast industry was changing. Broadcast Engineering, founded in 1959, had served radio and television well for nearly 60 years. While convergence has continued across electronic media and entertainment, the individual needs of the component industries has become more specialized. Because of this, Radio magazine provided a special focus for the radio audience. In 1995 the supplement became a stand-alone publication.
In the coming months, we will look back on the past 10 years by highlighting events and technologies that have directed the course of the radio industry. In all, these installments will cover the best 10 years of the radio industry and Radio magazine.
Time Line
The changes in duopoly rules are still being developed.
A variety of digital audio encoding schemes debut. Concerns rise over the effects of transcoding errors and interoperability issues.
At NAB94, the first RBDS test decoders and analyzers are introduced.
ISDN BRI increases in availability. It begins replacing Switched 56 service.
May 1994: Digital exciters provided better sound and stability.
Digital FM exciters are introduced, as are digital and digitally controlled on-air processors. Digital cart machines and STLs are introduced. Digital consoles are available, but considerably more expensive than their analog counterparts.
On June 30, AM stations are required to comply with the NRSC-2 spectrum mask requirements.
June 1994: The NRSC-2 AM RF mask.
At the end of 1994, more than 20 percent of all the stations in the U.S were part of a duopoly or under an LMA.
The Emergency Alert System is adopted in December 1994.
Seiko and Timex/Data Broadcasting Corporation develop wrist watch data receivers.
ISDN codecs hit the market strong.
Surveys report that 100 radio stations have websites.
Interfaces between DAWs and automation systems are popular at NAB95.
The EIA begins the RBDS rollout.
Forty-three radio stations and networks broadcast from Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum opening.
September 1995: Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum opens.
The FCC determines the AM expanded band allocations, adopts rules covering unattended station operations and lifts operator permit requirements.
More online
See the Pick Hits from 1994 and 1995 and a gallery of past covers.
The beginnings of DAB
Digital radio is as popular a topic today as it was nearly 10 years ago. While there is one system currently under evaluation, there were many contenders under evaluation when the DAB pursuit began.
In early 1994, the EIA and NRSC developed a plan to evaluate the various systems so it could make its recommendation to the FCC and to the broadcast industry.
November 1994: The AT&T IBAC systems under test.
At this time, it was still undecided as to what type of system would work best. Other parts of the world were reviewing the Eureka 147 system.
AT&T was developing an in-band adjacent-channel (IBAC) system. AT&T also partnered with Amati to develop two in-band on-channel (IBOC) systems. Thompson was working on two Eureka 147 systems. USA Digital Radio had three IBOC systems under the name Project Acorn. Two were for FM and called System 1 and System 2 FM. The third was an AM system. Finally, the Voice of America and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory were developing two S-band satellite systems.
The systems were gathered in Cleveland at the NASA Lewis Research Center, where they began the evaluation process that took more than a year to complete. Following the start of the lab tests, listening tests were held in Ottawa, Canada at the Communications Research Centre beginning in June 1994. The next phase included field tests in San Francisco.
At NAB95, USA Digital Radio provided mobile listening demonstrations of its system.
April 1995: The USA Digital Radio mobile demo van at NAB95.
During all this, the plans for a satellite digital audio radio service (S-DARS) were being laid. On Jan. 12, 1995, the FCC released a Report and Order designating 2.31GHz to 2.36GHz for S-DARS use. On the international side, Worldspace held its first organizational meeting in January 1995.
At NAB95, broadcasters discussed the idea of proposing restrictions to the FCC on the S-DARS licensees, proposing that the satellite licenses would not be issued until a terrestrial standard had been approved and adopted.
By the end of 1995, L-band and S-band systems were eliminated from consideration for terrestrial radio. The International Telecommunications Union meanwhile adopted Eureka 147 as its DAB standard.

Anyway, let me just finish the Sasebo recap.
After our cruise, we headed to the Kujukushima aquarium, which was just right beside the port. I tend to have rather high expectations of aquariums thanks to the SEA aquarium (still my favourite), but my family and I were pleasantly surprised by this one!
By the way, there are discounts for people holding the 1 day bus pass and JR tickets, so you should definitely bring them along with you!
I'm not going to go through the whole aquarium, so here are the highlights: In the first room, there was a huge, huge tank with this:
|The turtle was pretty big too
I also saw this purple lobster!! Why is it so purple?!
They also have a feeding area. 100 yen for a capsule of food, and the fishes do seem hungry enough.
And unlike the aquarium on my zemi trip, this one had dolphins! Playful, playful dolphins!
And this wasn't quite really a tunnel but it was still pretty cool.
By the way, if you're willing to fork out more money (I think about 600 yen) you can go PEARL HUNTING!!
Step 1: Pick an oyster
Step 2: Pry it open
Step 3: Find your pearl
Apparently, my pearl is blueish. And while the irritant that eventually becomes the pearl does affect the colour, it seems like experts don't really know exactly what determines the colour of a pearl.
Oh, and they pretty much guarantee you a pearl for this, so you won't open an empty oyster. (Unlike the first time I did the pearl hunting thing, in a totally different country. My whole family tried and not one of us got a pearl)
You will probably get splashed, which is why they distribute huge sheets of plastic beforehand. And it's also why I only have two photos, because I was pretty scared of getting my phone wet.
There's also a touch pool, and a pretty good English audio guide too. The guide is free to rent, and my brother absolutely loved it. They use this "researcher from the future" to teach you about the marine life, and there are quizzes where you have to shake the guide to find out the answer. If you're here, you should definitely get the guide.
And after hearing all about oysters and pearls, I started craving oysters! Luckily, this store sells grilled oysters:
It's 500 yen for 5, or 1000 yen for 10, which is definitely on the cheaper side. We got 5 and they were amazing! Fresh and juicy, I wish I had more room in my stomach!
If oysters aren't your thing, there's a restaurant called Lucky's which sells Sasebo burgers! My mom and I shared two burgers. This delicious one is a bacon and agg burger:
And this other delicious one is a steak burger:
The steak is my favourite because I'm a fan of steaks (I like bacon too, but you'd need a lot more bacon to compete with this), but both were really delicious. You probably can't go wrong ordering either of these.
The Pearl Sea Resort is a pretty good place to spend half a day or so. But the buses there and back are rather infrequent, so it might be a good idea to plan your trip around bus timings - we ended up waiting almost an hour because I read the time table wrong (you can get a time table from the tourism information center at Sasebo station).

Since I want to use these in our backyard this summer, I decided to make them as water-resistant as possible while also keeping it an easy DIY. After trying several adhesives, I'm happiest with this clear adhesive sealant. It is easy to work with (the texture is thick enough to adhere the pieces together without using clamps) and it also dries relatively quickly... although not as quickly as hot glue.
Why I didn't use a hot glue gun... Unfortunately hot glue does not adhere well to polyethylene (the material that milk jugs are made from) and it is not water resistant. If you do want to use a hot glue gun, you'll have paint the polyethylene (clear spray paint or acrylic paints) or rough it up with sand paper. Even with that, the bond will not be as strong.
If you don't have any milk jugs on-hand or don't feel like an upcycle project, you can also purchase polyethylene plastic sheets. They vary in thickness though and, since I have never used them before, I can't vouch for their performance.
Materials needed:
clean milk jug (once you cut away the bottom and handle, one jug should make one votive)
scrap paper for template
cheap scissors (to cut the milk jug)
clear silicone adhesive sealant (I used this one)
battery-powered votive lights
acrylic paint (optional) i used this multi purpose paint in gold since it adheres well to many surfaces. i also used this glitter paint to add some dimension.
The first step is to make a template for your petals. I cut-out eight (small) 2.25-inch petals, six (medium) 3-inch petals and 6 (large) 4-inch petals. There aren't any set rules for this. I wanted a lotus-like votive so I made my medium and large petals wide.
Cut out your petals from the milk jug as well as a round piece for the center. The round piece should be about the same size as your votive. You obviously don't want to use your best scissors for this project. I used a cheap pair and it worked fine.
Bend the end of your petals. Luckily polyethylene is very flexible and doesn't crease (at least my jugs from Trader Joe's don't). You can later add more "bend" to your petals when the project is complete.
Now it's time to glue everything together. Start with the circle and adhere the smallest petals first. You can wait a bit for the sealant to dry a little... or if you're impatient like me, you'll just plow ahead.
I then attached the medium-sized petals, followed by the large petals. I perched it upside-down on a acrylic paint bottle to dry. Let the sealant dry overnight. It will be clear when dry.
During the day...
And at night...
Ready to add some ambiance to our back yard...

Heeeeey D!vas!
Sorry for the late post! I've been pretty busy with Christmas exams but thankfully that's all over!
Collabor88 has started so I'm sure you're all wondering where the D!va hair is! Unfortunately Marisa hasn't been feeling all too well so she has decided to sit this month's round of Collabor88 out. Fingers crossed that she gets better soon!
But not to fret! Marisa didn't leave you D!vas completely hairless! The December round of The Arcade has begun and D!va has been invited to participate again! ( For those of you who don't know what it is, the Arcade is a bimonthly gacha event which features over 80 of Second Life's most gifted and talented designers and builders. To find out more about the Arcade, visit their website). This will be D!va's second round at the Arcade and Marisa would like to thank you all for your support and positive response D!va was getting from the previous round!
For the Arcade, Marisa has released ""D!va"" Hair "Daisy". Dreamy, whimsical and romantic are just a few words that spring to mind when I look at this hair! (TYPE A) features the hair parted in the middle and tied up into to loose small buns. The angelic style comes in with the lusciously curved side fringe that runs across the forehead. This look gives both a romantic appeal and youthfulness.
(TYPE B) of "Daisy" filled with elegance and timeless romance. It comes with [MESH PART A] and [MESH PART B], as well as (TYPE A) of "Daisy". All you have to do is simply remove the buns via the pop up menu and add either one of the mesh parts for a side pony tail or both for pig tails! Lustrous, tousled waves of hair cascade down past the shoulders and rests on the chest. These lengthly locks of wavy hair seems to have just fallen from hair heaven!
What can be more winsome than accessorizing with stars? This hair comes with a beautiful hairband with clusters of stars delicately twined around a vine to add that little bit of angelic elegance to your hair. Both the stars and vines have several colours to choose from! As always, there is an on and off option for the headband.
(TYPE A) is available in 12 colours and whilst rare hair (TYPE B) is also available in 12 colours, they are grouped in packs of 3. There is a grand total of 4 rare packs. Rare 1 includes the hair colours Platinum, Moon Stone and Cats Eye. Rare 2 includes Rhodalite, Topaz and Amber. Rare 3 includes Black Amber, Red Amber and Citrine. And last but not least, Rare 4 includes the hair colours Garnet, Brown Diamond and Onyx.
In short, it costs 75L$ to play and there are 16 to win, 4 of which are rare. The rigged mesh part is NO MOD and cannot be re-sized whereas the rest of the hair is MOD OK and can be resized via the pop up menu. The hair is also transferable so you can trade whatever extra hairs you have! Please remember that as the hair is transferable, it is NO COPY.
The Arcade will end on the 31st so you will have one week to grab this hair!
Oh, and please make sure to try a demo before buying!
I probably won't be posting again before Wednesday so I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!
""D!VA"" Main store

After losing their last two games, the Dover Senators bounced back with a huge 59-28 victory over Smyrna on Friday night.
Dover scored a whopping 31 points on the Eagles in the first quarter. Smyrna would try to claw back, posting 12 points before the half. However, Dover countered with seven of their own in the quarter to take a 38-12 lead into the break.
The two squads matched each other, score-for-score, for most of the second half but Smyrna wasn't able to gain any substantial ground. And more importantly, the Smyrna defense had no answers for the Senators air attack.
Dover QB Ian Gory threw for 6 touchdown passes, three of which found the sure-handed Jordon Robinson.
For Smyrna, RB Maurice McFolling-Nichols did his part to keep the Eagles in it, scoring 3 rushing touchdowns.
The victory for Dover was one they needed badly after having dropped their last two games to St. Mark's and Salesianum.
Smyrna drops a game after winning two straight (against Laurel & Brandywine), they'll travel to take on Woodbridge (0-4) next Friday.
The Senators will travel south to take on Sussex Central (3-1) next Friday.

Lena West, xynoMedia
A recent issue of Microsoft's Momentum newsletter touts the benefits of the 'always-on organization'. You know…wi-fi, instant messaging, SMS, mobile computing, etc? There IS something to be said for ease of communication, instant accessibility and an immediate, correct answer. But, as far back as 2004, in an interview with Oracle's Profit Magazine, I've been warning that the always-on circuitry is about to overload.
I have learned to be very leery of extremes. Words like always and never – especially as relates to technology – set off little LED warning lights for me.
I'm all about technology and helping organizations leverage it for growth but not at the expense of the company's culture. If you're wondering how instant messaging or wi-fi can trash your company's culture, here's what I mean:
By now, we all know that incoming email 'dings' are equally as distracting as viral videos and JibJab parodies. So, what did all the time management gurus tell us to do? Log out of email – or at least disable audible and visual alerts. They told us that we should manage technology – as opposed to it managing us. We were warned that we can't manage time, we can only manage ourselves and our energy. And, for the most part, they were right. People started listening to the experts and productivity rates increased…all was well in Corporateville…until the concept of running an always-on organization became de rigeur – and (gasp!) cool.
Skype messages fly back and forth at all hours of the night (or morning). Instant messaging barges in on web conferencing meetings. Super-rapid text messaging replaces a quick phone call. I used to have TWO cell phones for crying outloud! Eventually, you (and your team!) will get sick of it all. There's only so much bell ringing, screen flashing and equipment vibrating a person can take.
And, when I got fed up with being an endentured servant to two cell phones, I swung the corrective pendulum too far in the opposite direction and had no cell phone at all for over two years. I'm not a fan of always-on but, always-off doesn't work either.
Businesses need to embrace balance – or as my business coach says – integration. If you're going to be logged into your instant messenger, log out of email – or turn off the cell phone. Encourage your team to do the same. Show them that you value a SANE team more than an always-on team.
Can I get a vote for sometimes-on anyone?

Statistical cataloging of archival data for luminosity class IV–V stars*
I. The epoch 2001 temperature catalog
Department of Physics and Astronomy, N283 ESC, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602-4360, USA
Corresponding author: firstname.lastname@example.com
Accepted: 14 November 2002
This paper is one of a pair in which temperatures and metallicity catalogs for class IV–V stars are considered. The temperature catalog described here is derived from a calibration based on stellar angular diameters. If published calibrations of this kind are compared by using color-index transformations, temperature-dependent differences among the calibrations are commonly found. However, such differences are minimized if attention is restricted to calibrations based on Johnson . A calibration of this sort from Di Benedetto ([CITE]) is therefore tested and adopted. That calibration is then applied to spectroscopic and photometric data, with the latter predominating. Cousins photometry receives special attention because of its high precision and low metallicity sensitivity. Testing of temperatures derived from the calibration suggests that their accuracy and precision are satisfactory, though further testing will be warranted as new results appear. These temperatures appear in the catalog as values of (effective). Most of these entries are accompanied by measured or derived values of Cousins . Entries are given for 951 stars.
Key words: catalogs / stars: fundamental parameters

There are 24 hours in a day with 48 30-minute increments. The au pairs can work 45 hours a week each week, therefore 90 hours of childcare. I have 2 other women who I pay to help out with housework and childcare. We have 5-7 volunteers who communicate with me weekly about our childcare needs. Every day, we wash at least 20 bottles, each bottle with five parts. We give 5 doses of vitamin D and probiotic supplements. We change at least 20 diapers. We restock at least 40 diapers. We pick out 5 outfits and 5 sets of pajamas. I prepare and serve dinner to at least 4 adults. I empty three diaper pails. I fill two vaporizers. I feed our dog two meals a day in addition to comforting her when the kids overwhelm her. I pay our bills, manage our investments, grocery shop, pay the folks who help with childcare, all while running my college planning practice and attempting to be a good friend and daughter to those that I love.
Sometimes it's too much. Sometimes it feels like I'm holding it together with both hands. So yes, focusing on the schedule and the details sometimes comforts me. Because you know what, this life--this life that I have now--it's scary. I'm afraid of how we'll afford a life with five growing babies. I worry about affording braces, prom dresses, and gas. I worry about giving them an opportunity to see the world while protecting my husband's and my retirement. I worry about college education, grad school, and weddings. I worry about being able to protect my children from addiction, violence, and obsession. I worry about time, lack of time, and too much time. I worry about my children being a spectacle instead of special. I worry about my children being treated as a unit instead of individuals. I worry about my sweet puppy Ellie and how I can make her feel special in the wake of all of this. I worry. I worry a lot.
But then, I'm reminded of how I got here. I worried about being childless. I worried about a big, creaky house that lacked the pitter patter of baby feet. I worried I would miss the giggles, the sticky fingers, and the bear hugs. I worried I would miss the joy.
So, today, I choose to overlook worry. I choose to focus on the now. On the gifts. On the giggles. On the good. I have no idea how we are going to make all of this work, but I do know that we've faced bigger challenges. I have faith.
