Is That the Best You Can Do?
An update from my blog entry on Friday: The G8 summit has not given any substantive support to the Doha round of trade talks that I can discern. The best the G8 leaders (minus Russia, who failed to convince the US to sign off on their membership application to the WTO) could do apparently was to issue a statement of encouragement to WTO members to keep negotiating, and a permission slip for the WTO Director-General, Pascal Lamy, to consult with members in the hope of promoting "early agreement" (this coming five years into the launch of the Doha round). The leaders gave Mr Lamy until mid-August to report back on his mission. Note that this call to unblock trade talks was from only developed members of the WTO: Brazil and India, the two most powerful developing members in the WTO, will meet with the G8 today and will no doubt have their own perspective.
The G8 leaders' statement implied they had come to no agreement as to how to break the current stalemate over trade talks, and provides much less momentum than would have been hoped for. For a group calling for "utmost urgency" in concluding a deal, they sure seem reluctant to do any heavy lifting themselves.

Right then, on to item two of considerations when packing for outdoors mischief. Here is that list again, in case you forgot.
- First aid
- Protection from the elements
- Water
- Food
- Mobility
- Communications
Similarly to first aid, there are no concrete answers for what to pack for protection from the elements, but the considerations are simpler. In fact, you only need to keep in mind two things – hypothermia and sunburn.
Hypothermia is when the body loses more heat than it can produce, leading to core temperature dropping below 35 degrees. Symptoms of the onset of hypothermia include shivering, confusion, sluggishness and generally having a bad time. If unaddressed, hypothermia can eventually be fatal, which sucks. The body loses heat through evaporation, conduction, convection, and radiation. So to prevent hypothermia, we need to prevent these losses.
Evaporation isn't really a big contributor to hypothermia on its own, unless you are naked, drenched in sweat or other liquid, and exposed to wind. In which case hypothermia might be just one of a portfolio of problems you are facing. Still, it is worth noting the strong connection between fluid loss and heat loss. That is, if you are getting thirsty while not needing to pee, you are also losing heat through sweating and the moisture in your breath.
Keep a thick insulating layer between the body and cold surfaces such as ice and snow. This is particularly relevant for someone lying on snow, for example when injured. Wear thick thermal socks in your boots on cold days. Also protect your clothing from rain. Water conducts heat away from the body 25 times faster than air due to its greater heat capacity, so don't fall in any rivers fully clothed, jackass! Also ensure sweat is wicked away from your body to prevent it from chilling you as it cools.
This is wind chill. The body heats the air around it forming an insulating boundary layer of warm air on its surface. But wind whisks this away and replaces it with cold air, which the body then has to heat again. A windbreaker can make the world of difference in windy conditions. The same principle is behind why wet suits work in water.
The exposed surfaced of the body radiates heat, accounting for around 60% of heat loss from the naked body. Minimize exposed skin areas to prevent this.
You can prevent hypothermia by covering the body appropriately to trap an insulating pocket of air, isolating the body from cold surfaces, and keeping the body dry.
Sunburn becomes more of a consideration at lower latitudes and higher altitudes. While not as immediately life-threatening as hypothermia, it can still be debilitating and is definitely worth avoiding. Take into account the fact that water or snow can reflect sunlight to almost double the impact.
Yeah, but you still haven't said what to pack
It all comes down to where you are going and for how long. If there is any possibility of an unexpected overnight stay, you should dress and pack to keep warm throughout a 24-hour period in all the kinds of weather that can be expected in the climate and at the altitude of your activity. As a rule of thumb, I always pack one item of clothing for my top half than I expect to need. Anyway, here are some suggestions for what to pack for protections against the elements. Again, if you are traveling light, you will have to pick and choose.
Mylar blanket
A staple of the outdoors pack, the Mylar blanket, or space blanket, is a compact and light blanket made of thin plastic sheeting coated with a metallic reflecting agent, which reflects up to 97% of radiated heat. They reduce heat loss due to thermal radiation, and to a lesser degree, water evaporation and convection. Their compact size and light weight makes them ideal when space is at a premium. Which it pretty much always is. Since they are made from plastic, they can also be used to improvise a wind-break, rain shelter or bivouac, at a push.
The space blanket usually only comes out in an emergency, so some people consider these a first aid item, envisaging using them to maintain the core temperature of someone immobilized by an injury.
However you look at them though, space blankets are so cheap, small and useful, you really want one in your kit.
Down jacket
I love down jackets so much. They are simply warm. I basically have two types – one super light version for hiking, biking and running, and one super fat one for snowy mountains. The light one is slim-fit to keep it small and light whereas the heavy one is big enough I can just put it on directly over the top of my ski wear. (I'm not too keen on taking off layers to put more on when I am already cold, if I can help it.) When deciding on a puffer, the choice is between feather or synthetic insulation. Feathers are warmer and pack down better, synthetic performs better when wet and are cheaper. The Patagonia nano puff is a minimalist down that received rave reviews last year.
Hat and gloves
A thin merino wool or polypro beanie and similar gloves pack down to almost nothing and make a big difference. Or instead of a hat….
Stretchy neck warmer
These are amazingly adaptable. Instead of talking about the multitude of ways these can be used myself, I will just direct you to this video by the company Buff, starring a gent with an awesome West Country English accent.
Rain wear can double as a windbreaker, but tend to be less breathable and more bulky. Likewise, a windbreaker will offer a little protection against light rain, but not much. Manufacturers are working to make rain wear lighter, more compact and breathable so they can double as both. I have just ordered an Outdoor Research Helium II rain jacket, which I hope will be breathable enough to run in. I'll let you know how I get on.
Sunhat and/or sunscreen
Here in NZ, protection from the sun is essential during the summer months. Without it you can get burned in minutes, so it is second nature to wear a hat and slap on factor 50 sunscreen.
So, what do you pack for protection against the elements?
Do you have any recommendations for specific products or brands?
As ever, let us know in the comments and give us some context.

After flipping through the lack luster line up of this year's Grammys, I was pleasantly surprised when Miss Swift popped up in her incredible Gucci Premier (netted?) floor length silver gown with crystal waist and neck details. Everything about this gown is perfect… Flawless even. Its so classy!I was so impressed by this gown, I decided to do some internet digging to see what I've been missing. Below you can see my four favorite looks (the J Mendel is incredible too). I think there is a lot more to come from this style star. Kudos to whomever is dressing her.

I haven't been blogging a whole lot recently as I have been trying to get out and enjoy life and be present in the moment. Sometimes I spend a little too much time dreaming about the future that I forget to enjoy the present and what is right in front of me. The past few months have been about improving myself, finding balance, and enjoying life. After all, we need to make sure to enjoy life now and not wait until we hit our FI goals.
One thing I have been doing though when I have extra time is checking out the Financial Independence boards of Reddit. A question that has been asked a lot recently is what if you want to leave your full time job but don't mind working in some lesser capacity – what are your options? This perfectly fits our lives and what we are striving for. I hate being tied down to my desk 40 hours per week, often times bored out of my mind, but I don't mind some work. I actually think that working 3 days a week might actually be kinda nice as it would give me a little purpose, and also a little income.
I have discussed our plan previously but didn't have any terminology for it. "Coasting FI" or sometimes also called "Barista FI" at least in the Reddit world is often a term used to describe someone who has saved a bunch of money but doesn't have quite enough to be fully financially independent. The term Barista FI is often used as you can apparently get a job slinging coffee at Starbucks and still get health insurance. I personally prefer Coasting FI as there are so many other job opportunities out there and you really don't want to see me after drinking 2 cups of coffee (check out Hammy from Over the Hedge for an idea of me on caffeine). Whatever term you use, the concept is a nice alternative to full retirement as your part time employment gives you some income to cover your basic expenses while you are able to let the rest of your money continue to grow. I am not sure what my ideal part-time job would be but if it included some nice perks like discounts on gear (snowboards, hiking, etc) or even the coveted health insurance plan that would be great. The primary goal of whatever job this is would be to have some fun or be in an interesting industry.
Our current plan is to leave our full time jobs in the first part of 2020. To be more accurate I will leave my job but as Mr. SFF is self-employed and doesn't work 40 hours at one place he will just shift things and drop some clients. He will leave his 20 hour per week client but likely keep the other two parts of his work going. One client is a flexible 7-10 hours per week and has an amazing hourly rate so it's easy to keep this one around. The third part of his income is his side business that he actually wants to grow. Once we hit our "number" he will likely grow this business and I will help out as well. Depending on how well he does with his business this income, in addition to our rental income, could cover the majority of our expenses.
If our side income and part time jobs don't bring in quite enough to cover all of our expenses (which is very possible) our plan is to access our cash savings (Ally bank) and our taxable investments to cover any deficits. This means we can leave all of our tax deferred 401(k) and IRA accounts until we are able to access them without penalty at 59 1/2. We might start a Roth conversion ladder at some point but our success doesn't depend on it. Based on my spreadsheet estimates, we could drain our taxable accounts fully and still be fine for our long term retirement if we don't have to access our tax deferred accounts or even if we have to pull out a small amount.
When it comes to this whole Financial Independence thing there are SO MANY variables that could drastically change our outcome. The last thing I want to to reach our full retirement age and be destitute but unable to find jobs. So although we are going towards this "Coasting" FI track, in reality we won't jump ship until our assets hit somewhere between our Coasting number and full FI number.
I have a couple of different spreadsheets tracking our progress but the most recent one I created just this week has estimates for future account values by month with one column calculating when we hit our Coasting number with some part time income and one that tracks our full FI number without any part time income. Right now the full FI date is a full 3 years after our Coasting FI date. Not ideal as I am really not thrilled about working full time for another 4+ years. Our Coasting estimate based on this spreadsheet is only 15 months away and just seems too soon to make such a drastic decision. For this reason our target is in the middle, currently around 27 months away. This seems totally doable! It means we have a full 2+ years to save a bunch more money and also a couple more years to see what they markets are going to do, how the health care system might change, and also just to see how things go in the world in general as there is so much unrest nowadays.
So if you find yourself completely miserable in the 9-5 and feel like complete financial independence is just too far away, keep in mind that as long as you have a solid foundation, there is a middle ground. You might be able to make things work with less than full time employment and coast through while still leaving your assets to grow for your eventual full retirement.

Happy Monday! It's a gorgeous winter day here in NC. Makes me long for Spring all the more! :) I decided to start my week by participating in 2 different challenges on 2 different blogs that I follow. The sketch challenge is from HERE. The color challenge is from HERE. The sketch challenge came easy to me, since I am a simple-minded stamper. :) The easier the better! The color challenge was to use whisper white, bashful blue, almost amethyst, and orchid opulence. The first 3 colors were no problem. The orchid opulence stumped me. We used this same technique back in November at our stamp club using the ornament punch. I decided to use the butterfly punch on this card.
STAMPS: Well Scripted, Flight of the Butterfly (flowers in the butterfly image)
INK: bashful blue (sponging on butterfly mask), almost amethyst (flowers), orchid opulence (greeting), versamark
PAPER: ww, bashful blue, almost amethyst
OTHER: ww organza ribbon, corner rounder punch, slot punch, butterfly punch, clear detail embossing powder

BTC/USD price rushed up sharply to succeed in achieving our second goal expected at 8800.00 and settle down now, and we believe that the road is open to continue to make gains during the next sessions, where the price is organized inside the emerging channel appearing in the picture, waiting to test levels 9000.00 and 9350.00 As the next main stations.Thus, we are waiting for a further rise in the instantaneous and short term, with the indication that the persistence above 8328.80 represents the first condition for the continuation of the proposed rising wave.
Expected trading range for today between support 8500.00 and resistance 9000.00.

Bitcoin did not take a specific direction during yesterday's trades to trade through it as it continued to trade between levels of $8651 to a minimum and even areas of $8951.
Bitcoin we look at is currently neutral as a result of not trading in a specific direction due to trading between the $8901 areas and even the $8715 areas since yesterday morning trades.
It is expected that in the event of penetration of $8901 areas may target 9608 areas. While in the broken areas $8651 may target $8014.
Support: 8303 – 7924-7500.
Resistance: 8929-9608-9976.

Price action analysis:
The price of Bitcoin is ranging after the bullish move on 26th may. Resistance for the range is 8909 while the support is at 8633. It managed to make a false bearish breakout of the support level at 10.00 today but a true breakout is need on either side. It need to be able to break the resistance or support and hold it for like an hour before a true breakout can be confirmed.
The current rate in the BTC-USD instrument is 8696 USD. The long-term trend is definitely bullish, as depicted in the attached chart with a help of 10-days exponential moving average. The USD-BTC rate is hereby driven to the maxima of 2018. The recommendation is to keep waiting for the further continuation of the uptrend. It may be risky to add buy-orders anymore, however. Since the local resistance levels have been removed, it is not easy to hypothesize where the uptrend will finish and when this happens.

The story of bassist/composer Michael Blanco's third album as a leader, Spirit Forward, available on Brooklyn Jazz Underground Records on October 7, 2016, is primarily the story of how Blanco assembled this particular group of musicians, and how they in turn inspired the composer to write compelling music for this very special and unique combination of musical personalities; the Michael Blanco Quartet, featuring John Ellis (tenor saxophone), Kevin Hays (piano) and Clarence Penn (drums). The album title Spirit Forward is a bartending term for a type of cocktail made with strong spirits (like the Manhattan or Martini) that seeks to highlight and enhance the flavor of the base spirit, not to mask its flavor. These cocktails are harmonious and balanced, yet bold. "When choosing Spirit Forward for the album title, I had this definition in mind and how it relates to my music. It's a good metaphor for how strong musical personalities can come together and create a dynamic unit, while still maintaining their individuality. I also had a few other meanings in mind: I like the idea that the act of releasing an album of original music is akin to putting your 'spirit forward' out into the world, as well as the way the word spirit can be used to mean motion (like 'spirit away'), so Spirit Forward also means forward motion and continuing progress," explained Blanco.
John Ellis is a longtime friend and musical comrade whose soulful and melodic style is the perfect "voice" for Blanco's melodies. Ellis has a deeply personal and well-developed sound, and is always tasteful and musical above all else. Blanco elaborated, "there's no pretense in his playing and everything he plays sounds like a melody to me. I first met John at a jam session at Aaron Goldberg's Brooklyn apartment sometime around 2002. We hit it off musically and personally and have worked together a lot over the ensuing years. He played on my previous 2013 CD release, No Time Like the Present, and I still close most of my gigs with 'Ellis Island,' a tune I wrote for him that has become a frequently requested 'hit' among the people who come to hear my group."
It was during gigs supporting No Time Like the Present that Blanco connected with the other members of the Spirit Forward quartet. "I had admired Clarence Penn's playing for years, but it wasn't until a 2013 gig I led that we first played together. Clarence showed up to the gig and blew me away. He approached the music in a way that both challenged and supported the band, while adding a level of rhythmic and dynamic complexity that really brought the music to another level. Our musical chemistry and bassist/drummer hookup was apparent from the first tune of the night, and by the time the gig was over I knew that I had found my new favorite drummer. Clarence has been on every gig that my group has performed since that night, and even though finding dates that work with his busy schedule can be difficult, I plan to try to keep it that way!" said Blanco.
Blanco met Kevin Hays as sidemen on a 2014 gig (at SubCulture) with vibraphonist Anthony Smith's band. "After being a fan of Kevin's for many years, it was a thrill to finally play with him, and I could hear exciting possibilities for my music in his playing. His incredible harmonic and rhythmic flexibility, his lyricism, and sense of adventure all appealed to me - and I had a feeling that Kevin, Clarence, and John would be a really potent combination," said Blanco. And he was right of course, evidenced in the music on Spirit Forward.
After assembling his "dream team" the band played several gigs together over the course of 2015, leading up to the August 2015 recording session for this release. "I was able to experiment with my compositions during the gigs and rehearsals, and make small tweaks between gigs to make the music work better for the band. We even had a really fun 'pre-recording celebration' gig at The Cornelia Street Cafe the night before heading into the studio, which fine-tuned the music even more. I hope the listener enjoys it and digs it as much as we do," said Blanco.
More on the music on Spirit Forward from Michael Blanco: The Mystic Chord is a six-note chord used by Russian composer Alexander Scriabin, and believed by Scriabin to have mystical properties. While practicing at home one day, I discovered that I could create a bass line with an interesting 6/4 groove by spelling out this chord one note at a time. The melody has a kind of funky, lopsided quality, and the rest of the song explores the possibilities of the "Mystic Chord" sonority, with a melodically contrasting "B" section that is in 5/4 time - juxtaposing nicely with the 6/4 groove.
Notes From Underground was originally written for a gig at The Cornelia Street Cafe. The Cafe has been a wonderful home base for my group while I was developing the music for this album and continues to be the main spot where I lead my group in town. With this tune, I tried to capture the feeling I have when I'm performing there - and also the feeling that I have when I'm in the audience of any of my favorite jazz clubs. When coming up with a title, I thought of the low register piano/bass counter-melody that offsets the tenor lead at various points of the tune, as well as the fact that so many of my favorite jazz clubs are in basement rooms - hence the double entendre.
Song Without Words is a tuneful composition that I could easily imagine being sung. I wanted to write something overtly lyrical and pretty - something that can seem like a bold move in today's jazz climate. After recording one take with all of us sticking very closely to the melody in our improvisations, we took a lunch break and then recorded the take that is heard on the album. We loosened up and stretched out a little more, but still captured the heart-on-your-sleeve lyricism that I was going for.
Spirit Forward has a swinging, open feel, and an optimistic vibe. The form has a few mixed meters, and some harmonic twists and turns that make it both challenging and fun to play. Kevin, John, and I all stretch out with solos on this one.
Acrobat gets its name from the wide, acrobatic leaps in the bass line of the "B" section of the tune. It has a driving straight-eight groove, a hummable melody, and features great solos by both Ellis and Hays.
Last Stable Orbit is a somewhat quirky blues, that doesn't ever quite resolve in the way that you expect it to. The title is an astronomy term for the last orbit possible before an object (planet, spaceship, etc) gets sucked into a black hole!
Reasons To Be Pretty is named after a play by Neil LaBute that I went to see on Broadway in 2009. The performance really moved me, so I bought the script and read it again at home. This song actually differs in mood quite a bit from LaBute's play - but I thought the title was a good fit for this piece. Hays (once again) plays a gorgeous solo.
The Boulevardier is the name of one of my favorite spirit-forward cocktails, as well as old-school French slang for a stylish "man about town." The unison tenor sax/bass melody was inspired by a lick I heard guitarist Jonathan Kreisberg play on a gig we did together. The form and harmony are loosely inspired by Thelonious Monk's Green Chimneys, and it's a straight ahead, swinging piece.
Michael Blanco is a two-time recipient of the ASCAP Foundation Young Jazz Composer Award (2005, 2006), moved to NYC in 2000, and has since worked with many artists at the forefront of the contemporary jazz scene, including saxophonists John Ellis, Rich Perry, Donny McCaslin, Jon Irabagon, and Will Vinson; guitarists Lage Lund, Jonathan Kreisberg, Gilad Hekselman, and Mary Halvorson; pianists Kevin Hays, Aaron Goldberg, Adam Birnbaum, and David Cook; and drummers Clarence Penn, Donald Edwards, Ari Hoenig, Mark Ferber, and Tomas Fujiwara. He has been a member of bands led by Alan Ferber, Bob Reynolds, Shayna Steele, Russ Nolan, Doug Wamble, Patrick Cornelius, John Chin, Richard Doron Johnson, and Frank Basile, among others. Blanco's debut album In The Morning was released in 2006. JazzTimes Magazine called the album, "a remarkable introduction that leaves one eager to hear more," and described Blanco's compositions as having a, "dusky, imploring quality, with catchy, insistent hooks and compelling harmonies," while Bass World declared that "His approach to composition is fresh and the arrangements are lush and compelling." Blanco's second album, No Time Like The Present, was released in 2013. The album made Ralph A. Miriello's "Best of Jazz 2013" list in the Huffington Post, while Marc Meyers at JazzWax described it as, "a beautiful album with compositional depth and technical maturity," and proclaimed, "Blanco understands the meaning of originality - tastefully rolling out your creative vision while keeping the customer satisfied." Blanco has been selected twice by the U.S. Department of State to be an artistic representative for the U.S. abroad. Blanco is also in high demand outside of the world of jazz: he has performed in the orchestras of over thirty Broadway shows and is currently the bassist for the 2015 Broadway revival of Fiddler on the Roof. Recent highlights from his busy freelance career include a recording with the legendary violinist, Itzhak Perlman, performing on the soundtrack to the Cohen brothers' major motion picture, Hail Caesar!, and a television appearance on USA's Royal Pains, alongside violinist Joshua Bell. Blanco has performed at major NYC venues including Carnegie Hall, Radio City Music Hall, Town Hall, Birdland, Iridium, Smoke, and Blue Note, as well as smaller important laboratories for jazz like The Cornelia Street Cafe, Smalls, ShapeShifter Lab, Barbes, Korzo, IBeam, and The Bar Next Door at La Lanterna. Although he spends most of his time in NYC, Blanco has also had the pleasure of performing around the world.

Congratulations. You are now a product manager. The same role you always wanted is now yours. What do you do now?
About a year ago I did a talk on How to succeed as a first time Product Manager at Product Camp Boston. The lessons were based on my first year in product management, and all the awesome things I did (a few) and ALL the screw-ups (A LOT). This blog post is based on learnings from that time.
One year is a lot of time. But time is dependent on where you are. In a startup, or a new product, three months of time would seem equivalent to a year at an established company.
There are four important things you must have to call the first year a success. I call these the 4 R's of first year success. They are:
- Clarify your role
- Establish relationships
- Build your reputation
- Deliver results
Let's break it down.
#1: Clarify your role
Next to Business Development, Product Management is one of the roles, which varies from company to company. You must work with the following people to clarify what your role is exactly. These people are (at least):
- Your boss
- Your peers in product management
- Your boss's peers on the sales, engineering and marketing fronts (and others depending on your company)
- Your peers on the engineering side
It really helps to align around two things: decisions and deliverables. Each company has a different (informal) process on this.
For deliverables, consider ALL the deliverables that might be required. Some questions to ask
- What does engineering need from product management to deliver on a product/enhancements?
- What does marketing need? Is there someone in product marketing who will be your peer?
- What does sales need? Is it your product marketing peer who will provide this? Or someone else?
The second, and probably the most valuable one, is decisions. Especially in the first three months, your job is to observe as many interactions as possible where product decisions are made, and understand how they are made. Decisions such as:
- Which market segments you might choose?
- Which major features or new products get put on the roadmap? Get prioritized?
- How much effort goes into each feature?
- How does the UI Look?
- How does engineering decide when to put in effort to reduce technical debt, and when do they decide to deliver a feature fast?
- When is a product called release-ready?
Understanding these will give you key insights on how to drive decisions on your own product.
#2: Establish relationships
Relationships are the most crucial piece in some sense. There are three categories of people that matter the most:
- Customers – are the reason why your company exists. You need to establish a peer relationship with customers. You are not an order taker; instead, you are a peer that can help them solve their problems.
- Stakeholders – everyone who has a voice in product decisions. I would ask them about their current experience with product management in the company, and where things could be better. (Then deliver on that feedback!). Take them out for coffee or lunch. Learn to get to know them informally before you interact in a formal setting.
- Your boss – Your boss is your mentor, your coach, and your guide. Set up regular check-ins. Tell your boss you want as much brutal honesty as possible, and you both want to make the company successful, but also grow as a PM. At the same time, learn about your bosses' communication style, needs, shortcomings etc. This article is the best resource I can recommend.
#3: Build your reputation
You need to define what you want your reputation a.k.a. your Personal Brand to be. What is a personal brand? It's what people say about you when you are not in the room.
I have gained a lot of insight from reading Patty Azzarello's book Rise. She lays out how to define a personal brand that you want to achieve, but more than that, define what activities help you establish that brand, and which activities detract from it. It's the activities you do – from how you think, to how you speak, email, what actions you take – that will ultimately define your personal brand.
#4: Deliver results
None of the above would matter unless you deliver results. For me, these come down to two things:
- Ownership – The biggest difference in PMs that deliver results and those who do not, is a sense of ownership. Are you willing to take on any activity required to deliver the results you promised? Will you fight anyone who stands in the way? Will you argue with the CEO and the board if needed?
- Focus – This is the Yin to the Yan. While you take ownership of everything, you define where you can deliver most value. And you help the team focus on what's important now.
Bonus: Focus
In my mind, focus deserves it's own section. Especially in the beginning there is a tendency for PMs to take on a LOT of initiatives. Over time the demands on them go up, and they find themselves buried under a never ending to-do list of tasks. Here are some things I have learned as important:
- Block time on your calendar to get things done. This is NON-NEGOTIABLE time. For me, this is typically early morning time when I am most energetic.
- Have your own list of important goals, and prioritize initiatives that have a direct link to it. De-prioritize everything else.
- Don't have FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out)!
- Miss meetings. Unless you have an EXPLICIT ask in the meeting, or you want to heavily influence the outcomes, skip it. Instead take 5 minutes with one of the participants to catch up on what happened. One of the things people might find controversial is engineering standups – I go to these most days of the week, but skip them when needed.
- When you add a new thing to do, you HAVE to take something else out. Now you can make a decision on what is truly important
The Outcomes
This seems like a LOT to do. But that is the job of a Product Manager. Just go ahead and do it – the results will be worth it!

Lakeshore Park has a gorgeous splash pad right on the shore of the lake! Here kids can leap around in the water, dodging the bucketfuls that cascade down, while parents enjoy the expansive views. There's some shade under trees. Next to the splash pad is a playground with a huge shade cover so you don't have to get sunburned at all!

Whether you loved it or loathed it, the David Crane and Marta Kauffman crafted series about six people living their lives in New York City was a cultural staple for most of the '90s and a good deal of the '00s. Though buzz about a continuation (and at times, a feature film) has entered the news cycle several times over the past few years, there are a few things that should not make it into a new production of Friends, should one happen.
In particular, the gay jokes that were littered across the original series are best left on the cutting room floor. Though many have documented them, there are some offensive lines which, when looked at now, made the collective Screen Rant writing staff cringe. They are extremely puzzling, especially given the fact that series co-creator David Crane is openly gay.
With that in mind, here are the 15 Most Homophobic Moments On Friends. Not in any particular order, just what horrified us the most.
15 Poetry Makes You Gay
Next to Chandler, the character on the show that seems to have serious problems with people who aren't straight is Ross. In "The One with Rachel's New Dress", Geller's current girlfriend Emily starts spending time with Susan, the lesbian spouse of his former wife Carol.
Now, you'd think that he wouldn't worry too much about this, but instead, he freaks out. Scenes in this episode have the man claiming that going to poetry readings makes you gay, playing into the offensive stereotype that non-straight individuals are out to recruit as many people as possible, something that has been proven to be untrue and utterly absurd. In reality, no less a conservative icon than former President Ronald Reagan agreed that one doesn't choose to be gay, writing in an op-ed that "homosexuality is not a contagious disease like the measles." Ross could learn a thing or two from him.
14 Ben And His Barbie
In the episode titled "The One with the Metaphorical Tunnel", a scene in Monica's wildly unrealistic apartment has Ross's ex-wife Carol and her current partner Susan come in to drop off Ben for time with his dad. Upon seeing that his son is carrying a doll, Ross begins to nervously stammer and wonder why his child is playing with what is seen as a girl's toy.
After being confronted with his fear that his son could grow up to be in "show business" (a subtle dig at another gay stereotype), Ross says he is okay with it before trying to replace the doll with more boyish toys like a monster truck and a G.I. Joe in a later scene. The '90s audience howls with laughter at what they see here, while Rachel (channeling what anyone in 2017 would think) calls Ross pathetic for trying to take away what makes Ben happy.
We couldn't agree more; if a child wants a doll, let them have it!
13 Ross And The Doctored Photos Of Chandler
In "The One with the Memorial Service", Chandler and Ross become members of the alumni site for their university. After getting into a petty argument with each other, the two then begin to post various lies on each other's personal site page. Eventually, things escalate to a point where Ross writes that Chandler is "very gay" and even tries to post altered images of Chandler in homosexual positions. Later in the show, another gag has a man mistaking Monica for a transvestite. Haha, wow, so funny.
Addressing a fictional character is not normally something one does, but Mr. Geller, you live in New York! It's one of the most diverse cities in the United States, and the planet itself. What the hell is the matter with you? Why is it that in your view, being gay is an insult?
12 Men Can't Enjoy Musicals
In season nine's "The One where Emma Cries", Chandler falls asleep during an important meeting at his job that no one could ever seem to figure out entirely and inadvertently agrees to move to Tulsa, Oklahoma as a result of his carelessness. Throughout the episode, he spends his time trying to figure out how to best break the news to Monica. And when he does, she says some offensive stuff when they meet at Ross' apartment.
During a scene in Ross' apartment where Chandler announces the move, Monica says she doesn't want to go and doesn't even want to see the musical titled Oklahoma. After Chandler sites two songs from the Rodgers and Hammerstein crafted piece, Mrs. Bing says the following in a rather rude tone of voice…
"Are you trying to tell me that we're moving to Oklahoma, or that you're gay?"
According to Friends writers, men can't enjoy theater and be straight as well. Someone better break the news to the countless heterosexual actors on Broadway...
11 Chandler's Insecurity About His Friendship With Joey
Another later era episode of the show, another gay joke that wouldn't fly today.
In "The One with Ross's Inappropriate Song", Joey has too much money at his disposal and, at the suggesting of his more intelligent peers, decides to sink some of it into real estate. During a visit to Monica's ex-boyfriend Richard's apartment, the realtor mistakes Joey and Chandler for a couple, prompting the latter to almost-militantly insist that he and his friend are straight and to repeatedly emphasize that they are DEFINITELY not an intimate pairing.
After that childish blathering, Joey correctly says that Chandler seems pretty insulted by the assumption, and questions whether Chandler thinks he would be good enough for him, were they gay. Chandler then says they're not having the conversation again, and the awkward exchange ends. Clearly, the writers of this episode hadn't heard of the slang term Bromance. Men can be just as affectionate with each other as women can. Nothing wrong with it!
10 The Male Nanny
In the world of this show, men just can't seem to do anything that breaks with masculine conventions. Sure, we're all familiar with Joey and his bag, and the resulting harassment he got for enjoying it, but there's also the example of Freddie Prinze Jr's male nanny named Sandy.
In the episode where he makes his appearance ("The One with the Male Nanny"), Ross and Rachel interview him for a position to watch over Emma. While Rachel (who showed some maturity earlier on this list) thinks he's great, Ross is instantly uncomfortable and immediately asks if Sandy is gay. To him, a man who cries in an apartment three times and takes care of a child is some sort of freak, best avoided like the plague. It's sad and utterly absurd reasoning, to say the least.
9 Calling A Transgender Person Non-Human
Over the years on the show, the writers repeatedly dipped into the well of Chandler and his non-traditional family to great audience amusement, and this time was no different. In the first part of "The One with Monica and Chandler's Wedding", a scene at the rehearsal dinner has Ross's father Jack meeting Chandlers parents. Upon meeting Chandler's mother Nora, Mr. Geller says the following:
"So, are you his mother or his father?"
After being rebuked by his wife, Elliott Gould then says that "he's never seen one before" before sulking about how he didn't even get a chance to act as if he was okay with it. Yes, because apparently, it's totally cool to think transgendered people are less than human. Clearly, the '90s were a strange decade, one that would be fertile ground for today's Jared Leto, who once referred to the trans character he portrayed in Dallas Buyers Club as a "beautiful creature" in an awards acceptance speech.
8 Ross's Student Loves Him
This one is a double helping of stupid. In the episode "The One with Joey's Award", a male student fails one of Ross's midterm exams, and as a means to get his grade bumped up, he claims that he was unable to concentrate during the testing due to his crush on Ross.
Later in the show, Ross finds out that this is just a scheme, and he confronts the student on it. After saying, "You don't love me and you never did", the camera shot then shows us several of Ross's university colleagues in the same room as a means to embarrass David Schwimmer's character. Haha, they think he's gay, get it?
Both of the plot points here that are played for laughs are seriously problematic. Hardly a month goes by without some teacher making the news for an inappropriate relationship with a student and, often, unrequited love can drive those whose affections are rejected to suicide, both straight and gay individuals.
7 Play The Role Super Gay
In season 3's "The One with the Race Car Bed", Joey gets a gig teaching soap opera acting to aspiring performers. After a while, one of his students reveals that he is up for a role on All My Children that Joey also wants. Now, a professional actor (and a remotely mature one to boot) would probably just try to win the part fair and square, but no, dimwitted Joey is beneath that.
Instead, he tells the rival performer to play the role from a heavily homosexual angle. In his mind, this character choice will cause producers to reject him, but instead, his rival ends up getting the part.
He calls this take on Nick the Boxer stupid and bemoans his luck. This moment on the show is an offensive nod to the fact that often in Hollywood, straight actors taking on a gay role is seen as a career killer.
6 The Academy Award Parties
In 1992's "The One with Phoebe's Husband", guest star (and underrated character actor) Steve Zahn makes an appearance as Duncan, the secret green card husband of Kudrow's character. In the episode, it's established that he is gay (working in figure skating is yet another lame stereotype played for laughs) and that Phoebe only married him so he could stay in America and not be deported to Canada.
Later, he reveals that he is indeed straight. In a scene that riffs on the often-emotional process of coming out (again, this would be excoriated today for mocking something so important), Phoebe doesn't understand the news and says that it doesn't make sense because he throws "such great Academy Award parties."
The complete absurdity of this stereotype is (hopefully) evident. Award shows simply set out to honor some form of media, and each is likely made up of -- and watched by -- folks of all sexual orientations. This one is about as logical as saying that throwing a party to watch the premiere of Game of Thrones makes one violent.
5 Drinking Beer From The Can
The pilot episode of Friends was a production of many firsts. There was the first dumb comment from Chandler, the first visit to Central Perk, Phoebe's first weird Phoebe thing, and of course, the first of many dickish comments from everyone's favorite Dinosaur Dude, Ross Geller.
During scenes set at his apartment (which is practically empty, with ex-wife Carol having taken most of the items), Ross picks up a can of beer and claims that because Carol drank it straight from the can, he "should've known" she was a lesbian.
This plays into weird butch stereotypes and is insulting to empowered ladies everywhere. A woman can drink out of a can just as much as a man can sip wine out of a dainty glass. Now, and even then, it said absolutely nothing about one's sexual orientation.
4 The Ride Along
Featuring guest star Michael Rapaport as Phoebe's then cop boyfriend Gary, this episode has Chandler, Ross, and Joey participating in an evening ride-along in his patrol car. While Chandler exhibits cowardice and Joey brings along a sandwich in the backseat, Ross sits up in the front for the early bit of the excursion.
While here, Chandler decides to exhibit some of the low-key homophobia that his character became known for. During a debate between the trio about who would be more of a cop, Ross says that he would be because, due to being in the front seat, he is basically Gary's partner. Prompting Chandler to say that when Ross says that word, it doesn't sound cop, it sounds gay.
While it is true that some in the LGBTQ community have referred to their significant others as partners, it doesn't excuse the way Chandler says the line. His derisive tone is pretty insulting.
3 Men Can't Dance
In "The One with the Ballroom Dancing", simpleton Joey Tribbiani nearly gets Monica and Rachel evicted from their apartment. After they order him to fix the situation, he goes to the landlord Mr. Treeger and says he will do anything as a means to get his friends to stay in their home.
Treeger then requests that Joey help him learn how to dance in order to prepare for an upcoming landlord themed event, as he is too shy to practice with girls. Later, when he enters into the apartment, Monica asks her friend how the dancing is going, and inquires if Joey is gay yet.
This one's pretty straightforward, but dancing with someone of the same gender doesn't make you gay. Fred Astaire did duets with Gene Kelley and no one cared. Here, Monica is just being bigoted and playing into offensive stereotypes.
2 Carol, Lesbian
In 'The One with the Truth About London", Rachel is asked by Ross to babysit Ben for a bit, and she teaches him various practical jokes that end up driving his ass of a father nuts. Later in the show, Rachel visits Carol and Susan's apartment to talk to Ben about his mischief, where she also bumps into Ross.
He asks her what she's doing there, and in response, Rachel says she's visiting her good friend Carol. When Ross asks what her last name is, Rachel (who'd showed such maturity earlier in the show!) says "Carol...Lesbian."
The audience busts a gut at this and thinks it's fine, but it's not. Reducing a character down to a one-note item is pretty obnoxious. Had the show cast a minority actress in the role and had Rachel say that her name was "Carol...Asian" instead, it probably wouldn't have gone over as well.
1 Chandler's Dad
Yes, Chandler's dad is transgender. Yes, that would obviously be quite a shock for any young child. But the way the funny one in the group of six treated his parent through the years is downright pathetic.
Repeatedly, he mocks his own father and his sexuality. And, during the run-up to his wedding with Monica, he reveals that he decided to not invite his dad and had rebuffed various attempts by his father to make contact through the years. Even though, as he notes, his dad was still involved in his life after he transitioned.
If your parent still goes to your swim meets after making a significant life change like that and has never mistreated you, Monica would probably also call them a great parent. It's a shame her husband couldn't grow up and do the same thing.
Are there any other homophobic moments from Friends that stand out to you? Let us know in the comments.
