Stock markets rise as optimism builds about Greek debt exchange; investors shrug off jobs data
NEW YORK (AP) ' Stocks market gains accelerated Thursday on indications that a deal to restructure Greece's debt would succeed. That overshadowed a small increase in applications for unemployment benefits last week.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 90 points, or 0.7 percent, at 12,927 in late afternoon trading.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index, a broader measure of the market, gained nearly 15 points, or 1.1 percent, to 1,367. All 10 industry sectors rose, led by materials companies. The Nasdaq composite index rose 36 to 2,972.
The market was headed for its second straight increase following a 203-point plunge in the Dow Tuesday, the first triple-digit loss for the index since the start of the year. Together with Wednesday's 78-point gain, the Dow has now made up more than half of that loss.
Friday marks the three-year anniversary of the stock market's bottom following the financial crisis. The S&P 500 and the Dow have both roughly doubled since then.
The gains came as private investors in Greek bonds reached a 3 p.m. EST deadline for deciding whether to swap $140 billion in Greek government bonds for new ones worth much less. Greek government officials told The Associated Press that participation was already above 75 percent, nearing the 90 percent rate needed for the swap to be successful.
Athens will release final results Friday morning. If creditors holding more than 75 percent signed up, that can trigger legislation forcing holdouts to go along.
The gains came despite a report from the Labor Department early Thursday that the number of people seeking unemployment benefits rose slightly more than expected last week. The four-week average, however, remained near a four-year low, however, and applications are down 14 percent since October.
The government will issue its February jobs report on Friday, and economists are expecting more than 200,000 net jobs were added. If that prediction is correct, it would likely translate into a drop the unemployment rate for the sixth straight month, from 8.3 percent in January.
"The trend here is that the job market has continued to grind higher, and I don't see any reason why tomorrow's number shouldn't be a good one," said Phil Orlando, chief equity market strategist at Federated Investors. He pointed to a private estimate of hiring released Wednesday that exceeded expectations, along with the unemployment claims figures, as good indicators for more positive news to come.
Signs of life in housing and rising consumer spending in the U.S., along with the positive developments for the European debt crisis, are also helping boost confidence in the economy.
Stocks rose around the world as optimism about the Greek debt deal took hold. In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British stocks closed up 1.2 percent. Germany's DAX and the CAC-40 in France both gained 2.5 percent.
The euro rose against the dollar. In another sign of investor confidence in Europe, the yields on government bonds of both Italy and Spain both fell.
Asian markets also rallied, ending a three-day losing streak. Japan's Nikkei Stock Average climbed 2 percent, Hong Kong's Hang Seng jumped 1.3 percent and China's Shanghai Composite Index rose 1.1 percent.
The positive view on the Greek deal also helped push oil prices higher, as resolving the crisis is seen as good for the European economy, where demand could rise. Oil closed near $107 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Gold prices also rose.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note rose to 2.01 percent from 1.98 percent late Wednesday.
Brian Gendreau, market strategist for El Segundo, Calif.-based Cetera Financial Group, said that even if some of Greece's private investors reject the bond swap deal, the situation in Europe is clearly improving.
"A year and a half ago, the idea that private bond holders would take a hit wasn't even on the table," Gendreau said.
Gendreau's sense is that the market's response to a possible Greek default would not be as harsh as it might have been last year, when there were predictions the euro could collapse. He would expect a reaction that reflects more "fatigue and exasperation. But that's not the same as panic and crisis."
Among the stocks making big moves Tuesday:
' Coach Inc. jumped nearly 5 percent after the luxury accessories maker said it is sticking to its long-term sales goals.
' McDonald's Corp. lost more than 3 percent after reporting slower growth in February.
' Simon Property Group Inc. fell about 2 percent after the largest mall operator in the U.S. announced two real estate deals that total $3.5 billion, including a $2 billion investment in Europe.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) --Specialty pharmaceuticals firm Akorn ( AKRX) said Tuesday it would acquire Hi-Tech Pharmacal ( HITK) in a $540 million cash deal that would expand the maker of eye-care products into new areas. Terms of the deal call for Akorn to pay $43.50 per share in cash for Hi-Tech, a premium of 23.5% to the Amityville, N.Y.-based target's Aug. 26 close. The deal values Hi-Tech's equity at $640 million, with Akorn also taking control of Hi-Tech's $100.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. Hi-Tech is a developer and manufacturer of generic and branded prescription and over-the-counter products including a range of oral solutions, topical ointments and creams, nasal sprays, otics, sterile ophthalmics and sterile ointment and gels products. The company's brands include Diabetic Tussin, DiabetiDerm, DiabetiSweet, Zostrix, Nasal Ease and Sinus Buster. Akorn, of Lake Forest, Ill., is best known as a maker of generic eye-care products. The company said in a statement that the deal would create a more diversified generics manufacturer, and expand its pipeline. Akorn currently has 57 new drug applications filed with the Food and Drug Administration. Hi-Tech has 18 applications pending. The buyer said it believes it can extract upwards of $20 million in annual savings within 12 months and create a combined company with more than $500 million in sales. "The portfolio of Hi-Tech products is a great strategic fit to our currently marketed products as it diversifies our offering to our retail customers beyond ophthalmics," said Akorn CEO Raj Rai. "In addition, we are excited about Hi-Tech's product pipeline which would further enhance growth opportunities for the combined platform." Akorn said it intends to fund the deal via a combination of Hi-Tech cash assumed and a $600 million term loan to be provided by JPMorgan Chase. JPMorgan Securities is acting as financial adviser to Akorn, with a Kirkland & Ellis team of Keith Crow, Joshua Zachariah and David Fox joining with attorneys with Polsinelli PC to provide legal advice. Hi-Tech was advised by Nomura Securities International, Arent Fox and Tashlik Goldwyn Crandell Levy. -- Written by Lou Whiteman in New York

If it's frigid outside and the electrical grid goes down, you need backup heating right away. Central heating systems fueled with oil or gas need electricity to function, and when they quit, houses can become unlivable in a matter of hours.
All over the country, the transmission lines, transformers and switches that make up the electrical grid are old and overloaded, according to Daniel Scotto, a Wall Street financial analyst specializing in electric utilities. Experts say we can expect more frequent power failures because the aging infrastructure isn't being upgraded, especially now that the worldwide meltdown of the banking system is making investment financing scarce.
The best way to protect your family is to do some planning and set up an emergency power source now. If you live in a cold climate, the first priority is either a backup electrical generator and/or a heating system that can run without electricity. The generator option is usually sufficient for short emergencies of a day or two, but in extended and widespread outages, gasoline and diesel fuel become precious and rare commodities. In warmer climates, a generator is a necessity because refrigeration is the most pressing need.
A woodstove is a good non-electric heating and cooking option, provided you keep enough firewood on hand to fuel it during an emergency. Most natural gas or propane stoves and fireplaces can operate without electricity because they have either a continuous pilot flame or electronic ignition with battery backup. Before buying a gas appliance, make sure it has one of these features. A propane heater will go through a lot of fuel when running continuously, so if propane is your backup fuel, consider keeping an emergency supply on hand — during extended ice storms or blizzards, delivery trucks often can't get through blocked roads.
Pellet stoves need electricity to run the fuel feed auger and fans, and outdoor boilers depend on it to operate pumps that move the water to the house and back. As with conventional heating systems, a backup generator is needed to make either option functional.
Whatever your choice, make safety your highest priority. Fatalities during winter power failures are mostly due to breathing carbon monoxide gas released by temporary electrical, cooking, and heating equipment. Natural gas and propane cooking ranges shouldn't be used as space heaters because of this. Kerosene heaters can be dangerous in confined spaces, so they are not a good emergency option. Charcoal grills or gas generators should never be used in an enclosed space such as a garage, or even a breezeway — and especially not in the house.
When planning your strategy, consider four key needs: heating, cooking, refrigeration, and water pumping. A trusty woodstove might be the best way to handle the first two, and a generator would be needed for the rest. Your rural household may already have both, but make sure they're ready to go just in case the unthinkable happens.
To Robert's conversation on heating with a gas range, the reason they recommend against it is that there are no thermostatic controls on the stove or the oven when open. Thats number 1 and secondly you rarely use all 4 top burners and the oven in such a way it never shuts off. This amounts to approx 100,000 btu's/hour and that would be the same a venting a whole house hot air furnace directly into your house. That will kill you, carbon monoxide poisoning. It you do it do not use the oven and only one or two top burners and what ever you do, do not go to sleep with it on, you are playing with extreme danger. 40 year gas employee.

True, but if you already own the tractor, you can buy the pto driven generator power-head much cheaper than the entire propane/nat-gas fueled stand-by generator.
for running an entire house, a standby generator fueled with propane/natural gas is even a better idea.
PTO driven generators can be great, but they are only going to be as good as the governor on your tractor's engine. If it wearing out, your power frequency is going to be all over the place as it hunts around when a large load is turned on/off. Also keep in mind just how much power do you need, vs. how much fuel / wear and tear the tractor will experience running at just above idle (for some generator heads). If you only need a few kilowatts (incl. appliance demand such as refrigerator or furnace starting), then a small propane or gasoline fueled generator likely will work better. But, if you are planning on running your entire house (10kw +), then the PTO genset will likely be better in long run.
Since it happens frequently here, I installed a woodstove in my remodeled home. 8 days is a long time! My son has a portable generator and will come over and charge up the freezer - but that's all I worry about. Oh - and in the winter I keep the car and truck full of gas as the pumps won't work in town. The woodstove gives me heat, light, and a flat cooking service with my cast iron dutch oven and fry pans. I also put on a big stainless steel pot with water for washing - luckily our water is gravity feed here, but I also store water jugs just in case. The family comes over cuz they know Grammi will be cooking a big stew on the woodstove and have hot water for cocoa or coffee :) Snuggle up and enjoy the simple life!
Are there actual recorded incidents of fatalities due to using propane or natural gas stoves as back-up heating? How is that different from e.g. cooking a huge feast, which might take 8 to 12 hours of cooking? I see this warning "don't use your gas stove for backup heating" a lot, but I also see a lot of low income people that I work with thru a charitable organization doing just that, all winter long, because they don't have other heating options. I've done that myself in days past when my job and income situation were different. I'd also like to point some other emergency options, not mentioned in the article: dress for the season indoors, in layered clothing, including a hat. Gather everyone into 1 room, each human being is about the equivalent of a 100 watt space heater, 10 people in a room equals 1000 watts of heating. Mattresses, blankets, quilts, comforters can be placed against walls, windows, and doors. Pitch a tent in the middle of a room, and sleep/sit in it. Newspapers are great insulation, they can be wrapped around legs, arms, body torso etc underneath clothing (homeless people, who often live outdoors in the most frigid weather, do this all the time.)
Does anyone have experience with using a wood stove to burn corn instead, by having a welder create a box for the corn to burn in? I have been researching all of this. Is it feasible to manually load the corn as needed -- and to install a heat-activated fan -- these both seem similar to using a wood stove. A corn stove costs about 3 times as much as a wood stove, and a corn stove requires electricity -- none of this is desirable! Corn would be easier than wood for me to use. Also -- what are some ways to have water during a power outage when you have city water? Is there something to treat water for storage in sterile jugs? I hope to have this stove installed in a few weeks, to benefit now, intensely dislike the whole on grid heat. Thanks for responding!
i am lucky to have a good well and have T junctioned a line in to the well line before the electric pump. when the power goes off i open the valve under the sink and use the hand pump for all the water i want. i do not have to go outside in a storm and jigg for water down my well head!!! at 66 years old with arthritis and asthma this sure helps!!
It needs to be remembered, since we are talking safety, that emergency generators need to be connected only when the main service is disconnected. This insures that power from the generator will not feed back along the utility line and electrocute an electrical worker simply trying to restore service in your area. Most current building codes mandate the installation of carbon monoxide (not carbon dioxide) detectors as this is the gas responsible for most combustion related deaths. However, if they are newer installations direct wired into your house wiring they may not function during a power outage. It would be a good idea to have a battery operated model as well as a battery operated smoke alarm for emergencies.
I use a deep charge Marine battery, a power inverter, and keep it charged with solar panels. Also, for those of us with water pumps; in the event of a power outage don't forget you have 40-50 gallons of drinking water or water to flush your toilet with that you can drain out of your water heater.
We heat our 1000 sq ft house with a ventless propane heater that hangs on the wall. Every Fall we have the tank filled and it gets us thru the whole winter. It usually costs between $400-$800 to fill the 600 gallon tank. We just went thru the ice storm last week with 5 days without power. We used oil lamps, a windup radio, and flashlights. We were worried about losing the food in the freezer, but we rolled up newspapers and put them around the seal and then duct taped it into place. It worked. We put water in plastic containers and put it outside to freeze and put it in the refrigerator. And we had a campstove to cook on.
Shortly after we bought our home there was a huge storm that knocked out our power for three days. Because it was in September, the worst that happened to us was the loss of food stuffs in our refrigerator. Because we have a gas range and hot water heater (and no well) we still had abundant resources for the time but it caused us to consider making some changes. We added a free standing gas fireplace with outside air exchange and some carbon dioxide detectors. We have chosen to forego the generator since we have flash lights, lanterns and candles and can live media free for a few days.
One type of generator that someone with a mid-size (20 to 40 horse power)tractor should consider is a PTO generator. It attaches to the PTO shaft of the tractor. They cost thousands less then a generator with an engine (gasoline, diesel or propane).

How to cook soft shell crabs
Rate This Article:
Thank You For Voting
No need to be crabby; learning how to cook soft shell crabs is easy
One of the surest signs of summer's arrival is the presence of soft-shell crabs on menus and in the seafood store. This delicacy is perhaps the tastiest way to enjoy a crab. Not only do you get the rich, delicious flavor of the crab meat, but you also get eat it covered in a crispy, fried batter – you can't get much better than that.
Sure, you can go to a restaurant and order the treat, but you can also make it yourself. And when you know how to cook soft shell crabs, you have the culinary means of making you, your family and your friends extremely happy and satisfied.
Getting Started
You can't possibly cook a delicious soft shell crab unless you begin with excellent ingredients. So make sure you cook with premium soft shell crabs.
How do you choose the right crab?
First, look at how it is packaged. Frozen crab should be cleaned and individually wrapped. It should be fresh-frozen, and free of "freezer burn."
If you are buying fresh soft-shell crab, a simple test is that it should smell good. If you detect a fishy or otherwise unpleasant scent, choose another crab. Additionally, the shell should be very soft and the crab should have all of its legs.
Cleaning the Crab
Before you eat the crab, you need to clean it to ensure you don't eat any of its inedible insides. To do this, pick the dead crab up in your hand, then use a pair of kitchen shears to cut off its front -- go back about ˝-inch behind the eyes and mouth. Then use your fingers to squeeze the sac behind your incision to remove some of the not-so-tasty crab parts.
Now lift up one of the pointed ends of the crab and remove the gills you find under the shell. Lift up the other side and repeat the process. Once you're done, flip the crab over and cut off the little flap in the back. Scrub the outside of the crab and you're ready to start cooking.
Frozen soft shell crab should come pre-cleaned so that they are ready to thaw and cook.
Get Cooking
The key to cooking soft shell crabs is creating that tasty, crispy outside. To get this, place Ľ cup of flour inside a bowl. Sprinkle the crab with salt and pepper, then dredge the crab in the flour – be sure to shake of any excess. Melt about 1 tbsp. of butter in a high-quality fry pan, then place the crab in the pan. Fry the crab until it is golden brown on one side, then flip it over. Continue to allow the crab to cook until it is brown on both sides.
Now that your crab is cooked, you'll need to figure out how to eat it. Of course you can just dive right in and enjoy it as is, but one of the most popular ways in which to enjoy soft shell crab is eat it in a sandwich. Plain white bread, mayonnaise and tomatoes are tasty sandwich components, but try whatever you like. This makes a soft-shell crab po' boy, a New Orleans-style treat. Soft shell crabs are delicious just about any way.
Now that you know how to cook a soft shell crab, you can treat others – and yourself -- to a delectable summer treat.

Antonio Brown and Mike Wallace have formed one of the league's better receiving tandems over the past two seasons, but with free agency just weeks away, Wallace looms as a goner.
Brown says he's prepared to play a lead role if Wallace bolts for greener pastures.
"I am always ready," Brown told the team's official site. "I am ready no matter who is here, no matter who goes. I am always working on getting better. I will be ready no matter what the situation is."
Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert last month labeled it "very doubtful" the team would slap the franchise tag on anyone this offseason, and Pittsburgh doesn't appear keen on paying the $9 million to $10 million per season Wallace is expected to command on the open market.
Wallace's departure would leave Brown at the top of a receiver group that includes Emmanuel Sanders and Jerricho Cotchery. Replacing Wallace's production won't be easy -- he's accounted for 235 catches for 4,042 yards and 32 touchdowns in his four NFL seasons -- but the Steelers have navigated player movement as well as any team in football over the past decade. Brown understands the drill.
"Whoever stays in the room, we just have to know the importance of working hard and with the right attitude," Brown said. "We haven't really won anything, we haven't done anything, so we have to take the poor-man approach that we don't have anything and we are hungry to get everything and appreciate what we have."

Rights every working PWD should know about
By Dindin Reyes on September 9, 2015
Cliche as it may sound, everyone has been given talents, capabilities, and the natural ability to learn new skills for the sole purpose of using them — even persons with disabilities (PWDs). In the Philippines, there are many different companies who employ PWDs, giving them a chance to participate in society just as much as any other person.
In a 2013 study by the Philippine Institute for Development Studies, it was observed that "pessimism and lack of self-esteem" prevented PWDs from even trying to participate in "mainstream employment." They either believed that there wasn't any work for them out there or they were too "shy to go out and interact with other people." The same study showed that only 57.1% of PWDs here in the country are employed, as opposed to the 93.4% national employment rate, with 58.3% of PWDs in urban areas and 41.9% of PWDs in rural areas all having work.
Owing to their disabilities, they have special rights in the workplace that help them perform their work to the best of their ability and to fulfill their maximum potential. These laws are meant to protect, assist, and encourage PWDs to find their own ways of participating in society.
All of these rights and privileges are detailed in Republic Act 7277, commonly known as the Magna Carta for Disabled Persons. For the benefit of PWDs and those who employ and work with them, Kalibrr lists down those sections and chapters relevant to finding work, the conditions appropriate for a PWD-friendly workplace, and adds some helpful notes too.
You have the right to be employed in the same way as able-bodied people are as long as you can perform the work.
Section 5 states that no disabled persons shall be denied access to opportunities for suitable employment. They are subject to the same terms and conditions of employment, compensation, privileges, benefits, and/or allowances like that of an able-bodied person. Five percent (5%) of casual, emergency and contractual positions shall be reserved for PWDs in government agencies, offices or corporations engaged in social development.
"No disabled persons shall be denied access to opportunities for suitable employment. A qualified disabled employee shall be subject to the same terms and conditions of employment and the same compensation, privileges, benefits, fringe benefits, incentives or allowances as a qualified able-bodied person."
If you're interested to work for the government, check out our government job posts on Kalibrr.
You have the right to be provided work that accommodates your disability.
In Section 6, it states that if suitable employment for disabled persons cannot be found through open employment as stated in the preceding section, the State shall work to provide it by means of sheltered employment. In the placement of disabled persons in sheltered employment, it shall accord due regard to the individual qualities, vocational goals, and inclinations to ensure a good working atmosphere and efficient production.
Sheltered employment is an arrangement where those who aren't capable of working in a competitive setting are provided with work in work sites or centers exclusive to PWDs. The work usually involves vocational programs. As stated here, the State is responsible for providing such centers if some PWDs experience a lack of opportunities and suitable employment. The end goal is to enable them to work in integrated work spaces.
Moreno Valley Disability Attourney)">
You have the right to be hired as an apprentice if you are able to perform the job.
From Section 7, as subject to the provision of the Labor Code, disabled persons shall be eligible as apprentices or learners, if their handicap will not so much hinder the performance of the job for which they are hired. If after the period of apprenticeship, their performance was found satisfactory, they shall be eligible for employment.
"Subject to the provision of the Labor Code as amended, disabled persons shall be eligible as apprentices or learners; Provided, That their handicap is not much as to effectively impede the performance of job operations in the particular occupation for which they are hired; Provided, further, That after the lapse of the period of apprenticeship if found satisfactory in the job performance, they shall be eligible for employment."
You have the right to be trained in order to develop skills for employment.
Section 9 states that the State shall take appropriate vocational rehabilitation measures for disabled workers and workers in general to develop their skills, and enable them to compete for available productive and beneficial employment opportunities in the labor market, including disabled persons in the rural areas.
"The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) shall design and implement training programs that will provide disabled persons with vocational skills to enable them to engage in livelihood activities or obtain gainful employment. The Department of Labor and Employment shall likewise design and conduct training programs geared towards providing disabled persons with skills for livelihood."
On their site, DSWD has a list of Rehabilitation Sheltered Workshops where they provide vocational training as well as social rehabilitation and skills training. They list down what kinds of trainings are available in each center, such as massage, handicraft, dressmaking, and canteen management.
You have the right to be trained for advancement in employment.
Section 10 states that the DSWD shall provide evaluating vocational guidance and counselling to disabled persons in order to secure, retain, and advance them in employment.
"[DSWD] shall ensure the availability and training counsellors and other suitability qualified staff responsible for the vocational guidance and counselling of disabled persons."
Aside from these, PWDs also have the right to supporting aids and services in and out of the workplace, which are listed in Chapter 1, Section 5 of Republic Act 7277. Some relevant ones to those who are employed are the following:
- acquisition or modification of equipment or devices;
- other similar services and actions or all types of aids and services that facilitate the learning process of people with mental disability;
- Reasonable Accommodation include (1) improvement of existing facilities used by employees in order to render these readily accessible to and usable by disabled persons; and (2) modification of work schedules, reassignment to a vacant position, acquisition or modification of equipment or devices, appropriate adjustments or modifications of examinations, training materials or company policies, rules and regulations, the provisions of auxiliary aids and services, and other similar accommodations for disabled persons
In the same section, the Magna Carta states that PWDs shall be accepted or denied based on the "essential functions" of the post they're going for, which should be specified in the employer's job description:
Qualified Individual with a Disability shall mean an individual with a disability who, with or without reasonable accommodations, can perform the essential functions of the employment position that such individual holds or desires. However, consideration shall be given to the employer's judgement as to what functions of a job are important, and if an employer has prepared a written description before advertising or interviewing applicants for the job, this description shall be considered evidence of the essential functions of the job;
Those who employ PWDs also have their own incentives, as cited in Section 8 below.
Benefits for the employer
Private entities that employ disabled persons who meet the required skills, either as a regular employee, apprentice or learner are granted adequate incentives. The entities, however, should provide proof certified by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) that a disabled person is under their employ; and that the disabled employee should also be accredited with the DOLE and Department of Health on his disability, skills, and qualifications.
These private entities that improved or modify their physical facilities in order to provide reasonable accommodation for disabled persons shall also be entitled to an additional deduction from their net taxable income, equivalent to fifty percent (50%) of the direct costs of the improvements or modifications. This section, however, does not apply to improvements or modifications of facilities required under Batas Pambansa Bilang 344.

Difference Between Ignorance and Stupidity
Ignorance vs Stupidity
The intrinsic difference is that ignorance simply implies lack of awareness about something, while stupidity denotes the inability of a person to understand something due to insufficient intelligence, thus leading to the misinterpretation of a fact.
For instance, a person who has never seen an automobile would not know how to drive it, because of no exposure to such a thing. A stupid person, on the other hand, might have seen automobiles, but would still not be able to drive one, because he imagines that in order to move it you have to speak to it and ask it to move!
This implies that, while in the former case when the person is given an explaination as to how to make an automobile move, he may learn to drive it; the latter will never be able to drive until he gives up his stupid notion about how an automobile moves. An ignorant person might exhibit stupidity because of inadequate understanding of a situation, and exposure and experience will remove his or her ignorance, thus ensuring that the person no longer remains either ignorant or stupid. A stupid person, on the other hand, is also ignorant, because his or her stupidity prevents the him from acquiring the knowledge, and this means that such a person is likely to remain stupid and ignorant.
A person is ignorant mainly because of the circumstances of his or her life, whereas a stupid person is stupid either because of an attitude problem which prevents such a person from learning from his or her environment and the peer group, or due to a mental deficiency. For instance, if the son of a tribal chief from the Congo Basin is given an education at the best schools and universities of the world, he may not display the ignorance (of the western world) like his forefathers, and end up as a rocket scientist or a professor, while the son of an oil empire owner in the US may, because of having everything so easy in his life, do stupid things like drugs, and waste his life.
No region or type of people have a monopoly on either ignorance or stupidity. While ignorance is caused by the same set of factors worldwide, namely a lack of exposure or experience, stupidity is also a matter of perception. People living in the tropics often wear light colored clothing because of the hot weather, and the need to reflect back the strong rays of the sun. The people living in cold places, on the other hand, prefer dark clothing because of the need to absorb sun light. Now, if they were to go to each others' country and find the locally prevalent sartorial style stupid, you might put that down to ignorance!
1. Ignorance implies a lack of awareness, while stupidity implies the inability to understand.
2. Ignorance can be removed by the acquisition of knowledge, while a stupid person is intrinsically so, and therefore difficult to reform.
3. Ignorance is caused by the circumstances of one's life, whereas stupidity is due to an attitude problem or mental deficiency in the person concerned.
4. While the reasons of ignorance are universally the same, stupidity is often defined by one's perception of what comprises stupidity.

Speaking of ignorance vs. stupidity: It's not "explaination." It's "explanation."
The only stupidity I see is the English language for being such a mess.. I mean, why is the "i" in "explanation" missing anyways? Just to throw people off? I'm going to spell it as "explaination" from now on simply out of spite.
It's not pronounced explain-ation it's pronounced explan-ation that's you explain some by giving an explanation not an explaination
That's why jackass
Or maybe it would be just to plain how about that
Your both jackasses
It is spelled explanaition
SR … I'm trying to decide if you are ignorant or stupid for not allowing for a typographical error. But, then, perhaps you never make them. That remark is truly condescending .
stop fighting over peity shit
I don't agree. The connotation of ignorance is much stronger as it is used when alluding to racism, sexism and things of that nature. Ignorance implies that sometimes one chooses to act without using information.
No dear – that is the very definition of stupidity. Politely meant as a fact –
writergrl – you bring up a good point. Very often, information that would relieve a person of his or her ignorance is not welcomed by that person because of the uncomfortable feelings of cognitive dissonance it generates. Though I cannot say for certain, it would seem that the author is implying that willful ignorance, i.e., the deliberate rejection of new information, equates to stupidity, which would be to over-simplify the problem, in my view.
Since the word ignorance is from (Original Word) ignore…and ignore means to "refuse to take notice" or "reject as ungrounded"
My feelings are that one would have to be AWARE of something to ignore or reject it. Yes?
Making that the difference between stupid ( a lack of knowledge or awareness of something) and ignorance.
Now yes, many dictionaries list ignorance a having the same meaning as stupid…and my IGNORANCE of their definition does quality me as IGNORANT….It doesn't make me stupid.
There are so many other things about me that quantify that assessment 🙂
Very well put! I have struggled with someone whose ignorance seems to stem from a dogged refusal to accept the nuances of a situation. This person complains that I think she is stupid. In fact, her ignorance frustrates me, because I have tried and tried to get her to recognize the way out of certain dilemmas in our shared work, yet she cannot seem to put them into practice. She does not recall similar situations and how we solved them. This seems to me to be a form of ignorance. I have given up on teaching her the problem-solving skills. But she is far from stupid. She just can't triangulate disparate facts and come up with a game plan.
@ Frank. I think you are assuming that the word "ignore" has retained its original use over the centuries thus qualifying someone who is "ignorant" as someone who "ignores" knowledge.
But look at the etymology of the word = ignore comes from Latin in (not) + gnarus (know, be acquainted with, skilled)
Which would simply mean – someone who does not know, or someone who is not skilled – the same way "ignorant" is being defined in the article.
Seems to me that the article actually said you can't fix stupid.
Y'all ignorant
It sounds more like ignorance has to do with deliberately ignoring the state of things. Stupidity may or may not be a product of that ignorance. The ignorance may be the product of a stupid decision to ignore the state of things.I say they are pretty much the same thing. I would however debate the difference between naivete, and ignorance. I believe ignorance has a certain deliberateness to it. Naivete is relatively clueless about consequences.
So this is all a bunch of hooey in my opinion. The word ignorant comes from the Latin ignorare as in to ignore…so that would imply that you are ignorant because you choose to ignore facts. The word stupid comes from the Latin stupere meaning to be amazed or stunned…as if you had no idea and thus startled by something. So I think these opinions are mixed up. But all and all, I agree with Marcie… pretty much the same thing these days. Language evolves and because soooooo many people can't appreciate the VERY subtle nuance it's not even worth debating.
Stupid is as stupid does! Life is like a box of chocolates! Glad the fights over.
In a 100 years it won't matter. Sorry no big words here.
I must be stupid. "Stupid is as stupid does" always seemed like a stupid remark to me. My ignorance as to the intent of this remark led me to research such and, still not appreciating ( nor understanding) the implied simplicity, directness and wit in such after doing so, left me with the conclusion I must be stupid as to the meaning. Since I attempted to understand ( but don't) thus eliminating ignorance, leaves me to draw no other conclusion than I must be stupid. Or, I simply think it's a stupid remark in itself.
only to lose time about this is stupid and to lose time like me a ignorant Be happy and get to love one way the world and People, with love il Princioe
Amazing how in this world ignorance uses intelligence for its own further meant
I disagree the concept of stupidity that its "inability to understand " due to less intelligence, It seem like overgeneralization , its quitety big including even crazy people . Again the definition don't acknowledge the presence of talented peole and gifted people , according to writer talented people would be stupid.

Robert E. Burns
The University of Notre Dame, as the pre-eminent American Catholic University, often serves as a mirror of the travails and triumphs of the American Catholic community. Its story is as spirited and compelling as its traditions.
Being Catholic, Being American: The Notre Dame Story, 1934–1952, Volume 2, continues the work of Burns' first volume and traces the major events under three important university presidencies. It focuses first on the successful period of academic improvement and facilitity expansion during the presidency of Father John F. O'Hara, then on the intrusion of pre-WWII partisanism during the time of O'Hara's successor, Father J. Hugh O'Donnell, and finally on the academic freedom crisis and the leadership of O'Donnell's successor, Father John J. Cavanaugh.
In addition to exploring how the controversial career of Father John A. O'Brien during the 1930s forced American Catholic religious authorities to address the questions surrounding the role of theologians in the Church, Burns also describes inside stories on Notre Dame football under Layden and Leahy and celebrates the people who contributed to securing Notre Dame as a major national university in the twentieth century.
Being Catholic, Being American is for historians, teachers, students, alumni, sports enthusiasts, and all those touched by the story of the University of Notre Dame.

Der Spiegel, 07.11.2005 (Germany)
Hans Magnus Enzensberger (more here and here) analyses the "radical losers" manifested in the National Socialists of yesteryear and the Islamists of today. The force of the Islamsists today feeds on the full-scale, century-long decline of Islamic culture. "In the last four hundred years, the Arabs have not come up with a single discovery worthy of mention. ... Everything on which daily life in Maghreb and in the Middle East depends, every fridge, every telephone, every plug socket, every screwdriver, not to mention the products of high technology, is a silent insult to any Arab with half a brain." Enzenberger goes on to explain the psychological impact of permanent and self-inflicted inferiority, citing the Germans as an example: "It is not far-fetched to suppose that Hitler and his cronies were less interested in victory than in the radicalisation and immortalisation of their own loser status. Although the suppressed anger was offloaded in an unprecedented war of annihilation against everybody else ... it was certainly not their intention to spare the Germans. Their real aim was not victory but extermination, destruction, collective suicide and the horrifying end."
This week the magazine's cover (above) playfully exploits the fact that Germany's two major parties are now chaired by East Germans: Angela Merkel of the CDU and Matthias Platzeck of the SDP.
Elet es Irodalom, 04.11.2005 (Hungary)
The literary sensation this fall in Hungary is without doubt Peter Nadas' novel "Parallel Stories". Critics are hailing it as the novel of the century â on a par with such works as Robert Musil's "Man Without Qualities" and Leo Tolstoy's "War and Peace". Nadas explains in an interview why the novel has several narrators who "slide" from the first to the third person, and who tell "parallel stories" about Hungary in the 20th century. "I used to hope that love could save individuals under a dictatorship, and that love stories could at least relate the longing for freedom. Then I had to see that individuals cannot be saved, but only enter the banality we know from Gyula Illyes' wonderful poem 'A sentence about tyranny': Tyranny even got into the nuptial bed, it took part in copulation. When tyranny pervades even lovemaking and the most intimate situations, then society intrudes deep into the individual realm. In that case the make-up of the collective consciousness not only works like cultural cement, but also as a crushing, destructive force. The question is whether there is such a thing as an individual at all when such collective forces rampage within a single person. Where is the person in me if the herd animal is so strong?"
ES magazine is not at all surprised that Eastern Europe is under-represented in the list of the world's top 100 public intellectuals published in Foreign Policy and Prospect at the end of September (more here). In the previous edition, Janos Szeky commented that the list's compilers "admit to being mainly familiar with the English-speaking world. Great Britain has closer ties to its former colonies than to the major cultural nations of the European continent. That's why Kenya is happily represented twice â as often as Germany." Now in this edition Szeky explains the choice of Noam Chomsky as the most important of the 100 most important intellectuals with reference to the fascination he exerts as "radical opposition figure" on the "old-liberal, pro-government and pro-establishment readership of both magazines."
The New Yorker, 14.11.2005 (USA)
In an extensive report, Jane Mayer examines the death of the suspected terrorist Manadel al-Jamadi who was killed during interrogation in Abu Ghraib, and asks whether the CIA can "legally kill a prisoner? (...) After September 11th, the Justice Department fashioned secret legal guidelines that appear to indemnify C.I.A. officials who perform aggressive, even violent interrogations outside the United States. Techniques such as waterboardingâthe near-drowning of a suspectâhave been implicitly authorized by an Administration that feels that such methods may be necessary to win the war on terrorism." All efforts to gain more detailed information on these policies, and specifically to find out who exactly is responsible for the death of al-Jamadi were blocked by the government. "Even more troubling is the possibility that, under the Bush Administration's secret interrogation guidelines, the killing of Jamadi might not have broken any laws."
L'Espresso, 10.11.2005 (Italy)
Umberto Eco sings the praises of the late French artist Arman (more) whose "accumulation" works were a celebration of diversity. "He shows us that within sameness (a collection of forks, pairs of glasses, music instruments) there is the possibility for a modulation of multiplication. In the clownish game of his orderings (which nevertheless follow a strict set of rules), in which every object differs from its companion by a tilt, a lopsidedness, a minimal twist, Arman transforms the monotony of the identical into a symphony of heterogeneity."
Polityka, 07.11.2005 (Poland)
Poland is a divided country write Mariusz Janicki und Wieslaw Wladyka. The voting behaviour at the elections is a remarkable reflection of Poland's borders of 1919 to 1939 and even the division in 1795 to 1918: The former Prussian regions in the north and the west vote consistently for the liberal pro-European powers, while the traditional, peasant base is the south and the east voted for the national conservative option. "Centuries have passed, wars have rolled through the land, the population has been thoroughly intermixed, the levelling act of socialism has taken care of the rest â and yet there is still an invisible border dividing the Poland of Tusk and the Poland of Kaczynski."
Gazeta Wyborcza, 05.11.2005 (Poland)
Piotr Buras explains to the Poles why the electoral victory of the national conservative PiS caused such strong reactions in Germany: "The German Lebensgefühl (attitude to life) is largely influenced by left-liberal currents. This explains why the conservatism of the PiS, which is strongly against homosexuals, excites such outrage. Anti-liberal, Euro-sceptical, anti-German statements are not at all well-received in Germany. Another factor has to do with the two very different definitions of conservatism in the two countries â on the one hand bourgeois German conservatism, on the other hand the rural-Catholic conservatism of the Kaczynskis."
The Times Literary Supplement, 04.11.2005 (UK)
Jean-Paul Sartre's 100th birthday was celebrated with much ballyhoo in France. Neither street names nor television programmes, on the other hand, were dedicated to Arthur Koestler (more). And on top of that, bemoans Walter Laqueur, Koestler has no luck with his biographers. Neither Michel Laval's "L'Homme sans concessions" nor Christian Buckard's "Ein extremes Leben" do him justice, writes Laqueur. Because Koestler may have been a difficult person, but in the final analysis he is much more likeable than the Sartre/Beauvoir pair â and politically of course somewhat more astute: "Yet despite all the drunken brawls and the ugly aggression, he was not mendacious in his relations with sexual partners, holding in contempt those he professed to love, as Sartre and Beauvoir did. Nor did Koestler specialize in attracting disturbed young girls. He was a disturbed man, and neither anti-depressants nor psychoanalysis greatly helped him. But there was no more evil in him than in most other human beings. He was capable of love, often romantic love, which is perhaps more than can be said about Sartre and Beauvoir."
Le Nouvel Observateur, 03.11.2005 (France)
Historian Pascal Blanchard investigates "La fracture coloniale" in his book of the same name that is now creating waves in France. In it, Blanchard complains of a massive repression of French colonial history, of which today only an insignificant part remains in the public consciousness. Perhaps this is a reason for the youth riots? In an interview, Blanchard admits: "This question concerns seven generations and 700 million individuals. If a country makes no material available and sets up no centres providing information on such a question, what should history teachers do when confronted where 70 percent of the students are descendants of former colonies? What should they say? Such pupils have the feeling they are seen as 'enemies of the Republic' or as having no place in the country's long history." This week's Figaro litteraire also reviews Blanchard's book and other new publications on the topic.
Al Ahram Weekly, 02.11.2005 (Egypt)
Egypt's religious authorities at Al Azhar University are preventing the Egyptian edition of a book originally published by Oxford University Press: Natana J. DeLong-Bas' study "Wahhabi Islam: From Revival and Reform to Global Jihad". The reason: "Information not in accordance with the principles of Islam". Wahhabi Islam, founded by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, is a very strict form of Sunni Islam, mainly practised by Saudi Arabian Islamists. Surprisingly, the publishers and Western academics hope the ban on the book will be lifted when the censors see that in it, al-Wahhab is portrayed in a very positive light. Only Gaber Asfour, professor for Arabic literature at Cairo University and secretary-general of the Ministry of Culture's Supreme Council of Culture, protests against all forms of censorship. Regardless of whether the decision was taken for political reasons or not, in his view "one must re-assert the general rule that no authority has the right to curtail freedom of opinion, an infringement of human rights that runs counter to the principles of tolerance enshrined in the charter of the United Nations, of which Egypt is a member."
The New York Times Book Review, 06.11.2005 (USA)
In the New York Times Magazine, D. T. Max investigates the relatively new discipline of literary Darwinism. Its adherents attempt to find fundamental patterns of human behaviour in books. For them Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" is a veritable treasure chest, roughly what fruit flies are for geneticists. "The women in the book mostly compete to marry high-status men, consistent with the Darwinian idea that females try to find mates whose status will assure the success of their offspring. At the same time, the men are typically competing to marry the most attractive women, consistent with the Darwinian idea that males look for youth and beauty in females as signs of reproductive fitness. Darcy and Elizabeth's flips and flops illustrate the effort mammals put into distinguishing between short-term appeal (a pert step, a handsome coxcomb) and long-term appropriateness (stability, commitment, wealth, underlying good health)."

Multiparty systems allow the elected leaders to implement programs that they promised the citizens during campaigns. It also allows the presence of an opposition party that helps to hold the ruling party accountable to the citizens. This also prevents the ruling party from abuse its powers. Multiparty systems also increase the participation of voters in issues that affect them. It gives people much freedom and provides an open system for all citizens.Learn more about Political Parties

Well, I had a hunch I'd drop off for a while.....I tried starting this entry over Thanksgiving, but was just too busy. Fall racing season was busy busy and between the road trips and school, I just don't have the time to check in like I used to. Right after Belochka, Leonid and I came back to Alaska for the fall racing season. Sure, we've traveled to the USA many times before, but this was his first time in Alaska. The season is pretty busy until Early October, then it just drops dead as a flipping doornail til May unless you are up to the hassle of hauling to Anchorage which I am not. We raced (and won) nearly every weekend through October until the season was up. We got some damn nice prizes along the way everything from a Kenai Fjords cruise to air and ferry tickets to massage and spa treatment and many more goodies......
Jackolof Bay 10 miler- this was an awesome hilly 10 miler from Jackolof Bay to Seldovia. We took the water taxi from Homer and the ferry back. This was very well organized and had fun prizes. The trip was worth its weight in berries we picked after the run!
Six days later I repeated my win at the Run For Life 5k in Soldotna and Leonid took his first win here.It was WET WET WET this yr!!!
first pink moment sunset in Anchorage at Pt Woronzof. July after 11pm.Sleeping Lady is in the background. I'd told Leonid about these views for years.
Jackolof Bay 10 miler- this was an awesome hilly 10 miler from Jackolof Bay to Seldovia. We took the water taxi from Homer and the ferry back. This was very well organized and had fun prizes. The trip was worth its weight in berries we picked after the run!
Six days later I repeated my win at the Run For Life 5k in Soldotna and Leonid took his first win here.It was WET WET WET this yr!!!
GO FISH! Best recovery food :-)
The following weekend I ran the Kenai Run for Women 10k again this yr.....and here is my prize- a lovely fireweed painting :-)
....And the next weekend we ran the Costume 5k in Kenai where we both won overall! This was an offroad/on road hybrid course with hills! This worked in my favor!
Top 3 overall Leonid then me then William
chillin after the race!
During the last weekend of August, I had a holy day off school and a 3 day weekend.The weather gods cooperated in full and we hit the road to Seward to enjoy one of the prizes we had won- A Kenai Fjords cruise :-)
Labor Day weekend we went back to Seldovia for the 10k and more berries! We had to make use of that ferry ride back we had won earlier this season and we decided to spend the weekend running then picking the last of the blueberries. My fridge is well stocked with jam!
The 10k was a nice dirt road/trail course -not fast(the only fast course we really did was the 5k in Soldotna) but really pretty. We managed to win this one too! It was very well organized and marked! There were plenty of blueberries saying PICK ME PICK ME after the race!
Two weeks later was the Halibut Hustle 5k. I won this one "just for the halibut" the second year in a row and Leonid won on a technicality because the leader accidentally turned around too soon. It was a very windy day on the Spit that day and WET. I was some 40 sec faster than last year, but the course was again 300m long...ah well.
Now, I had planned to run the half at the Kenai Marathon this year so I could do Run to the Altar (the vertical trail half I did six days off the marathon last yr) and not feel like unrecovered shit. Unfortunately, Run to the Altar was cancelled and is no more. This was such a fun course-very hard gnarly ass trail. So, five days before the marathon I figured I'd do it as a long run. I was again selected to represent Latvia in the 100k WC/EC in November, but unfortunately, I couldn't afford the 3-4000$ for the trip. Yes, shit like this sucks. I'm still very capable of running well at the ultras, but the cost of travel and the logistics of getting out are killing what's left of my career. I'm out of the Little Su 50 in 2017 by default because we have Saturday School that day to make up for a holy day off midweek. I could take personal leave, but I can only justify taking personal leave for a race if it's WC/EC or a commercial race where I could offset the cost of the trip by going for prizes. I can't justify personal leave for Little Su 50k. Plus, the drive is a dangerous crapshoot that's 6 hours in good weather and maybe a no go come mid Feburary. I may be out in 2018 as well because I see we have Saturday School again mid Feb. We have a couple few Saturdays a school year when we sometimes have a Russian Orthodox holy day off midweek and then make it up on Saturday. This would be nice to do to fill the black hole of no winter races in Homer(still can't figure out why the hell it's dead as a bloody doornail October- May in Homer when we have mild winters and optimal places to race/train). However, the ends really don't justify the means.
I won the Kenai River Marathon running mostly alone all day. I beat the rain to the finish!!!! Many did not!
It was ideal weather- about +2-4C overcast
Two weeks later, we came back for the 5K in Kenai out on by American Cancer Society. Once Again, we both won and lucky for me this course was much like the costume run 5k but with 2 serious climbs one just one. I beat the girl who had just finished 3rd at HS state in XC the week before and she was better than me on the downhills but couldn't stay with me on the uphills. I used this to pull away on the climbs to open a gapand she finished about 20 sec. behind me. Had it been a flat course, I think she may have gotten me.
finish on a blustery -7C day!
The last weekend in October a couple weeks later we did a fun trail mud mile on a newly opened trail just outside of Homer. The cycling club put it on and you could run or bike it . It was a fun day!
I did the Turkey Trot (damn let 3 boys beat me LOL) about 3 weeks later. I'm training through the winter for spring summer. Yes, it continues to drive me batshit that there is nothing going on here until May. I may look into some possibilities over spring break, but' I'll see how feasible the travel etc is when it gets closer to the date and whether or not it's worth the hassle. I'm still planning a summer in Russia. Race plans if any are up in the air. It's really hard to gauge my fitness and effectively prepare for that part of the season when there are NO barometer races I terribly need March-April.Sadly, I'm pretty much being forced into retirement by default and inability to get out to the big high end races that motivate me. Without a sponsor or a means to offset the travel costs, It's just not possible. This is why I actually did most of my high level international racing in my 30s as opposed to my 20s because I had the same issues then- inability to get out as easily from Fairbanks and later Wasilla. However, at least I was able to get fit for my summer racing because in both these places, the running community had stuff going on throughout the winter. The few times there are races in my neck of the woods during the season, they are often these itty bitty 5ks and that's just not me. I need the longer stuff. I enjoy that more as well. I had planned to retire once I started slowing down after 40. I'm too competitive to have it any other way. I did finally get into proper shape late summer, so the capabilities to perform are still there, I need to be ready for that by the spring though and this not racing for some six months is ridiculous and wrong.

What is men:life?
God never intended for us to go through life alone. Men need other men to help them go through life the way God intended.
Men's Ministry provides a means of connecting men and changing lives. We do this through fun and adventurous events and activities as well as opportunities to explore God's principles for growth, service, and leadership through small groups.
Men's Ministry is committed to growing and leading according to Christ's challenge. Our vision is equipping men to walk with Christ, be like Christ and to be the men God designed.
Men's Small Groups
Several men's small groups meet regularly at Free Christian Church. Groups meet to study and discuss the Bible or other relevant texts, to pray and to act upon what we learn. Several groups already exist, but additional groups can easily be started to accommodate men's schedules.View Small Groups
Men's Breakfast
The third Saturday of each month is an opportunity for men to gather, enjoy a warm breakfast, fellowship and participate in an early worship service which includes a guest speaker and lively music.
Men Serve the Hungry
We serve at Daybreak Shelter on Tuesday and Lazarus House on Thursday mornings. We share a hot meal, scripture, prayer and a word of encouragement. Join us!

Beyond Baroque Winners Reading June 17
On June 17, 2017 the winners of the 7th Annual Beyond Baroque Poetry Contest will be reading their work in Venice, California.
Now in its seventh year, the 2016 Beyond Baroque Poetry Contest was judged by the award-winning poet Diane Wakoski. Over 900 entries from across the nation were submitted to the contest. Each winner receives a cash prize: first place $1000; second place $500; and third place $250. In addition to the three top prizes, two runner-ups were chosen. Winners and runners-up were chosen through a blind reading process in which the judge had no knowledge of the poems' authors.
Judge Diane Wakoski had this to say about her selections (without knowing authors identities):
First Place Winner, IN GEORGIA, A LAKE (by Maria Gillan, Hawthorne, NJ): This is a beautiful poem about both the personal and the public. I selected it for its use of the drying-up lake as a trope that represents something missing in the speaker, which evolves through the poem until it's revealed that the speaker has a large lake inside herself. The lake is drying up into a big hole due to global warming, and that hole is transformed into the place were her love for her son - who disagrees with her on important things like global warming - is not enough to close the difference between them.
Second Place Winner, A GLIMPSE OF BEAU JACK (by Robert Mezey, Claremont, CA): This is a very successful memory poem. It's very effective in tying the past and present together in the speaker's life.
Third Place Winner, CUT FLOWERS (by Linda Neil, Los Angeles, CA): This poem makes a profound statement on the world of fashion and our high concepts of beauty, which are really death mimicking life. Subtle and understated, this poem is doing so much more than it seems on first reading.
Runners-up : COTTON CANDY MAN (by Janet Nippell) and IN OUR HOUSE NOBODY EVER SAID (by Maria Gillan, Hawthorne, NJ) .

There's a good reason there are many one-child families. With a radar born of self-preservation, from a frighteningly early age, kids know when Mummy and Daddy are up to something and will do everything in their power to interruptus la coitus. Not only does this make things challenging when you are trying to conceive another child, when you're dating and you bring someone home for some horizontal folk dancing….well, it can be a tricky thing to, er, pull off.
Watch Mamamia staff reveal the biggest lies they've told to their partners.
Finally, I have received my first letter asking for my advice as MM's Sex Reporter (or, on occasion, Sex Doer). This letter comes from Lisa:
I am a 35 year old woman with no children of my own. I have met the man of my dreams and everything is going really well. He is a caring, charming and generous partner – we have an amazing intellectual synergy and are very physically compatible….our sex life is good. Excellent even.
As well as being such a brilliant partner, my man is also an extremely caring and doting father. He has been married before and has 2 children aged 4 and 6 who he shares custody of. I respect this so much and it makes me love him even more. But the kids will be living with us full-time for the next 6 months and I want to know how on earth we have sex with children in the house.
I am sure most of the MM community has in fact dealt with this before. Some of you probably on a day to day basis but I haven't ever had to consider this aspect of my sexual relationships. So can you please tell me when we "do the act"? Do the kids need to be out or asleep, do we have to lock the door?, Be very quiet?
HOW you have sex with children in the house. When? Where? At all?
Okay Lisa, let me start by saying that I wrote an answer to you earlier today. It included the line 'Don't worry, it is perfectly possible to have sex with children in the house. My husband and I do it all the time.' Shortly afterwards, my phone rang and I left the room. When I returned, there was a nine year old sitting at my computer.
"Mum, do you really have sex when we're in the house?" she asked. "When? When we're asleep? Do you ever have sex when we're awake?"
The lesson to be learned is this: If you're going to write about sex, make sure you do it when the kids aren't going to walk into the room. And the moral of the story is this: If you're going to have sex, then the same thing applies.
Having sex with kids in the house is definitely not the same as having sex without kids. When you're alone in the house, anything goes. You can have sex in your bed, on the floor, on the couch, on the kitchen bench, in the pool, even hanging from the chandeliers, as long as neither of you are particularly heavy and there aren't any loose electrical wires.
Having kids nearby is limiting. Not too much – you can still have fabulous sex – however, you have to follow three golden rules.
The Sex After Children Rules:
1) The kids must not see you having sex.
2) The kids must not hear you having sex.
3) The kids must not know that you are having sex.
Now, rules 1) and 2) are self explanatory. Wait till the kids asleep. Don't be so loud that you'll wake them up. And if there's every any doubt that they can get out of bed and wander around the house, for the love of god, lock the door. Because there's nothing more traumatising than seeing your parents have sex. Trust me. I've…er… heard.
Rule 3), however, needs some clarification. It is fine – indeed, healthy – for the kids to know that you are having sex in general. Sex is part of a normal, loving marriage and it's important that children appreciate this. What they don't need to know is when you are having sex in particular. Kids need to go to sleep, safe in the knowledge that their parents are not bonking in the room next to them, even if… you know… they are. Because if there's one thing that's almost as traumatising as seeing your patients having sex, it's knowing that they're having sex. Ew.
So don't worry, Lisa. You will still have great sex, nightly, if you want. But just not on the kitchen table for a while. And not at 6pm.
Unless, of course, you can get the kids to sleep out occasionally.
Ever sprung your parents having sex? If you have kids, have they ever sprung you?
