still great after all these years
i wrote my first review for chessgenius in 2008. at that time i was new to iphone. the most recent app update compliments my 6 Plus hardware and continues to deliver challenging chess. this chess app is one of a small group of chess apps that i use frequently.
Long Time Fan
A long time and loyal Richard Lang fan. The author will be in the chess programmers Hal of Fame if they ever create one. His chess programs dominated the chess programming world in the late 80's and early 90's.
All the best Richard!
Ps one of the few chess apps that display the board/menu correctly while using hotspot.
Longtime fan
Chess Genius is a great app.
On my iPhone 6s when playing strength is set to "instant" and permanent brain off, CG beats Hiarcs set to 2300 on my iPad Air 2.
One area of improvement might be to adjust the playing level options or dynamically adapt the level descriptions to the power of the CPU/GPU because the first level after easy is now master on the latest iPhone.
Thanks for all the hours of chess fun and learning.

InDepth: Configuring xdm
Have you ever wanted to access your workstation's desktop remotely? How about accessing your desktop on a server machine? That's just the sort of problem I needed to solve recently. I was responsible for setting up and managing a group of Linux servers. By the fifth trip to the lab to access a GUI console for various reasons (badge access, key codes, flights of stairs, etc.), it was time to find a solution that would allow me to use my workstation to access X desktops on various server machines.
Some may think that the standard X tools used to handle remote sessions would be sufficient to solve my problem—something like:
telnet host1 export DISPLAY=mywkstn:0 gnome-session
(or some other session manager).
However, the solution I was looking for needed to provide more than just basic functionality. It needed to be more administrable, appear more automatic and be easier to use for developers new to Linux. There are pitfalls associated with authentication, session management, etc., that require some knowledge of the way X works. For example, I often forget to type xhost +host1 when using remote X clients. I also have been on the receiving end of a puzzled look when trying to explain the xhost authentication scheme to a Linux newbie. Since this development project was not the time to teach developers the basics of X, I was looking for a solution that fulfilled all of these requirements.
A couple of solutions would allow me to manage the X sessions more easily. The solution I chose for this project was the X display manager, or xdm, although another popular solution is vnc. I chose xdm over vnc for two reasons. First, vnc has a server-side requirement to have a dæmon running for each shared desktop. Second, I already had X server software installed on all of the workstations and didn't see the need to install additional client software. Other choices are kdm and gdm, part of the KDE and GNOME packages, respectively.
X is the graphical support system used in most UNIX environments. If you are using GNOME or KDE on your Linux desktop, then you are making use of the X Window System. It is defined and maintained by the X Consortium (www.X.org). Most Linux users use an implementation of the X Window System offered by the XFree86 Project (www.xfree86.org). xdm is a display manager that enables flexible session management functionality. While xdm is usually thought of as "that GUI logon screen that auto-starts my X stuff", it is actually much more powerful, as we will see.
In the X world, the terms client and server can get a little confusing. Specifically, an X server is the application that controls the keyboard, mouse and display resources. A client is an application that makes requests for the server to perform actions on its behalf (i.e., display a window with some set of specified characteristics). This is a little different for those of us used to thinking of applications running on our workstations as clients.
xdm uses the X Consortium's X display manager control protocol, XDMCP, to communicate with the X servers. This allows X servers to obtain session services from servers running xdm. Three types of queries can be sent by X servers:
Direct—asks the named host directly to display a login screen.
Broadcast—broadcasts a message to all hosts on the network, and the first to answer offers the login-processing services.
Indirect—contacts a named host running xdm and asks it about known hosts with which it may communicate. The xdm server will present a list of available servers willing to manage an X session. The X server will eventually end up communicating directly with the selected host to obtain login-processing services.
One of the initial reasons xdm was created was to allow for management of X terminals. These devices are basically a display, keyboard and mouse with embedded X server software; all intelligence is located on a server in the network. xdm was used to push login screens and manage sessions for these devices. Several years ago these devices were popular because access to UNIX workstations was limited. Users who wanted to access graphical desktops at their desks were either lucky enough to have a UNIX workstation at their desk or required one of these devices. Lately these devices have become less popular and are being replaced by PCs running X server software, such as Linux and other Unices (Solaris x86, xBSD, etc.) or Windows (running Hummingbird Exceed or the like).
When using xdm to manage these X sessions there are some configuration gotchas. At first glance, it may appear that if you configure xdm (in order to take advantage of XDMCP), you get either a local X server started (i.e., the console goes into graphical mode when xdm starts) or, if you disable the local display in xdm and use startx, it doesn't give you access to the chooser. The configuration described here allows any XDMCP client to access the Linux server desktops (subject to X security provisions, of course). It also demonstrates one way to configure xdm in order to get both a local X desktop and access to other server desktops from the workstation.
Security and access control are managed by xdm but are beyond the scope of this article. xdm should only be used in controlled environments. In addition, incoming port 177 should be blocked on all firewalls. If you're interested in X security issues, the following man pages are a good place to start: xdm(1), xauth(1), Xsecurity(7), lbxproxy(1)--Low Bandwidth X proxy, xfwp(1)--X Firewall Proxy, and ssh(1) and sshd(8) man pages, specifically regarding X11 port forwarding.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Land, People, Nation: A History of the United States From 1865 / Edition 2by Anna Uhl Chamot, Kathleen Steeves, Kathleen Anderson Steeves
Pub. Date: 10/18/2004
Publisher: Pearson ESL
Land, People, Nation, Third Edition, by Anna Uhl Chamot and Kathleen Anderson Steeves, helps students build the skills they need to study history and geography. The short, engaging readings and color illustrations, maps, charts, and graphs help students build valuable interpretive skills as they master academic content and develop language proficiency. The book
provides explicit instruction in learning strategies based on the CALLA model (preparation, presentation, practice, self-evaluation, and expansion). The book also serves as a valuable alternative for students experiencing difficulty with a basal American history text.
Land, People, Nation includes a new section, "Be a Historian," that builds basic skills in history and geography, such as using primary and secondary resources, applying analysis skills, and using maps, globes, charts, and graphs.
Each unit begins with a timeline, plus warm-up activities that encourage students to relate their background knowledge to the unit topics. Vocabulary-building exercises, learning strategies, and comprehension checks help students understand and recall what they have learned. There are also opportunities for students to research, write, and present reports on important people and events in U.S. history. "Listening" sections allow students to practice their listening and note-taking skills. "Viewing" sections enable students to visualize past and recent events more clearly. At the end of each unit, expansion activities have students think in depth about a historical topic and apply the lessons of history to theirown lives.
Aligned to the national history standards.

Great for both beginners in film studies and anyone who wants to get a good overlook at the history, theory, and criticism of film. It's written very clearly, so it's not confusing or scattered at all. Each chapter tackles a different field in film, and seems long, but there are lots of pictures in between.

Columbia County School Cuts
Published June 4th, 2013
Loading Video...
Last Friday, Marion County announced hundreds may lose their jobs as they try to accommodate a nearly 30 million dollar deficit for the coming school year.
Other counties are making tough decisions as well.
Columbia County public school administrators believe they have a plan to keep classrooms functioning without losing jobs.
They are relying on the state's "drop" retirement plan and say they won't be filling positions that are left vacant.

This move is quickly pushing MCRS within range of triggering another breakout trade. That trade will hit once MCRS takes out some near-term overhead resistance levels at $53.39 to $55.36 with high volume. Traders should now look for a long-biased trade as long as MCRS is trending above its 200-day, and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that's near or above 433,542 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then MCRS will have a great chance of re-testing and possibly taking out its next major overhead resistance levels $57 to $58.49. On the flipside, I would avoid MCRS or look for short-biased traders if fails to trigger that breakout, and then moves back below its 200-day at $50.86 with high volume. Prev 3 of 5 Next

How poor was Cech tonight? he has not been the same keeper since Jose left. For me he is a liability and it is scary when teams attack us because you never know what he will do. The free kick scored by Liverpool tonight just shows how bad he is, too much space between him and the near post, he made his mind up before the player kicked the ball which did not even need bending round a player. A summer clean out is needed and i would put Cech on the list along with Ashley Cole, Drogba, Malouda, Ballack, Deco, Carvalho and Balletti. They are all either poor players that drag down the rest of the team or just too old to keep up with fast paced games.
hilario wouldnt have let 4 in.

June 2012: Kranti's SJE Goes Global
In June, our local social justice education went global! One of the Revolutionaries, Aparna, taught a series of sex education workshops for teenage girls at Project Crayons (http://www.projectcrayonsindia.org/).
And we are happy to announce that her sex education class was not only shared with the youth of Project Crayons but also made international news! Via the NY Times and NDTV, Aparna was able to educate and inform the world about her ideas of safe sex, clear up misconceptions about pregnancy and menstruation, and discuss the hardships sex workers face when getting medical treatment. Please follow the link to read the article and watch Aparna's honest and candid lesson about sex education. http://india.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/06/meet-aparna-mumbais-teenage-sex-educator/
Summer vacation wrapped up as the Revolutionaries spent a week at a Rural Excursion Camp in Maharashtra. The girls spent time trekking, enjoying the forest, climbing trees, making new friends, and learning different skills, including rifle shooting!
Most of the Revolutionaries began a new school year in mid-June. We now have girls in 5th, 7th, 8th, and 12th English standards as well as 9th and 10th Hindi standards. The first few weeks of school were a dizzying exercise in organizing schedules for school, classes, tuition, and extra-curricular activities as each girl has a different daily schedule. Now, however, we have settled into a busy—yet consistent—routine, which includes the help of many volunteer tutors and at least one guest speaker per weekend.
July and August 2012: Revolutionaries Travel and Volunteer
Two of our Revolutionaries have a break from the demands of school and decided to spend some time volunteering and traveling. In her two months break between 10th and 11th standards, Laxmi chose to travel to Nepal to volunteer at a rural school, Maya Universe Academy, teaching Art and English to children. Here is the school's website: http://www.mayauniverseacademy.org/.
Shweta, who passed her 12th board exams last spring and is currently taking a gap year, also traveled to Nepal, where she taught English to monks in a Buddhist monastery and sex ed to Nepali girls. Both Laxmi and Shweta returned return home in early August,; Laxmi started 11th standard in arts, and Shweta took a few days to study for the TOEFL exam before departing for Jharkhand, where she volunteering with the Gender Resource Center in the city of Ranchi for the remainder of the month.
For the rest of the Revolutionaries, the month of July was one of school, homework, and continued learning. Four of the Revolutionaries still make weekly trips to Project Crayons in order to teach on Sundays—in addition to Aparna's sex ed classes, they have also been presenting classes on leadership and self-esteem. We had a volunteer named Surhabi from Stanford University in California who worked with the girls and helped them plan their weekly lessons for the girls at Project Crayons.

According to the Bones wiki, the assistants since Zack's departure are interns.

From IMDB: The murder weapon was a "medieval torture device" called the "Pear of Anguish." The device was inserted into the victim's mouth and then slowly opened, crushing the orifice outward.
The showrunners of Bones have always been extremely coy about whether those supernatural elements are real, or have a "real world" explanation.

Jen writes in:
Since our son was born, we've been trying to function as a one income family, but it just isn't working. We've cut out every expense we can think of and are jumping through every hoop we can find to save money, but we're simply not making ends meet. What's next? Surely it can't be impossible to do this.
You're not alone in feeling this way, Jen. Many people make a plan for functioning with a low income, then as prices increase at a rate faster than the increase in salaries in your household, it becomes progressively harder and harder to keep up. You keep throwing every frugal technique you can find at the problem, but at some point, there's a line that frugality just can't carry you over and you're stuck.
So what do you do when you reach that point? Here are seven tactics that I would try.
Get a part time job that doesn't require you to take the kids to daycare. That usually means an evening or night job as a gas station attendant or a grocery re-stocker. Those jobs are fairly high turnover (because many of the people doing it are high school students and college students who are just seeking a quick buck in their pocket), so there are usually slots available if you look around. Most employers will be happy to give you a part time schedule that works for you. Consider a 7 PM to 11 PM shift or a 2 AM to 6 AM shift.
Look into self-employment opportunities. Perhaps you could open a very small-scale home daycare, where you take in just a few children during the day. A small number of kids would provide companionship for your own children without taking away too much from the focused time and attention you give to them, plus it would bring in some additional income.
Consider eliminating what you consider a "basic" service. Many people can't imagine living without a cell phone or without high speed internet access – they consider these services to be essential. However, such services can easily be eliminated in most people's lives. Look through every monthly bill you have and consider carefully whether you need that service – or whether it's just something you've become so complacent about that you think of it as a need.
Find a family in a similar situation as yours and work cooperatively with them. For example, you could share a warehouse club membership and take advantage of the low prices there by buying bulk items together and splitting them among the families. You could also get into a routine of potlucking dinners together so that you can make your meal dollars stretch a little further. You might also want to consider reciprocal free babysitting with that family to further cut costs. There are lots of ways that you can share (and reduce) costs with another family – just sit down and talk about it.
Ask for help. Talk to your close friends and family about your situation and see if they have any ideas. Everyone's situation is unique and you may find that the people closest to you have novel ideas about how you can improve your situation. Don't be ashamed, either – quite often, working couples are actually envious of families where one parent can stay at home and are amazed that you've actually taken the courageous step to pull it off.
Plan for future milestones. You may want to consider returning to work full time when a certain milestone is reached – say, your youngest child begins school. If you can clearly envision that milestone, then you can plan accordingly. Seek out personal loans that will help you to get through until that date. Look for temporary arrangements that might be uncomfortable at the time, but can make waiting for such milestones much easier.
Finally, don't give up hope. You made a series of choices in your life that led you to this point because they were the right choices for you and your family at the time. Consider all of the positive results that have come about because you took the road less traveled, and use that positive assessment to your advantage. Your choices have put you in a better place – you can get through this.
Good luck!

If you really can't make ends meet as a one income family, then you might have to become a two income family.
It probably isn't what you want, but if you can't afford the bare essentials and you can't cut back any further, then you'll have to earn more money – and that might have to include putting your kid in daycare.
If that's truly unpalatable, have you tried moving to a cheaper property (if you're renting), giving up a car, getting rid of the phone, cutting food back even further (try living on the amount that food stamps provide as a guideline, there's even a menu),..
If you have debt, and that's what's causing the problem there are free not for profit resources that can help you. You might need to file for bankruptcy, or make agreements with your creditors, but something can generally be done.

You could even do a part-part-time job such as tutoring or perhaps taking advantage of a skill. Can you sew? You could do alterations. Anything to bring in a couple extra bucks.
janet says:
I can tell you what we did when we were young and just starting out. It worked for us, maybe it will for you also. We were determined that I stay home with our son. To do so meant a lot to both of us. First of all we had no credit cards. We paid for everything w/cash. We had no cable or extras. I cooked all 3 meals for us everyday. We took walks for entertainment and fitness. We walked everywhere. We took in a roommate. This worked out well for us, it was a relative and I provided meals and laundry service to go along w/the rent we were charging. That worked well for about a year, which was great. Then I decided to start babysitting for others. That worked really well because now my son had someone to play with and you can make really good money doing daycare. We had lots of fun. I continued babysitting as we had more children. Our kids grew up with these other kids. Our oldest son and that original kid I babysat were college roommates! There are so many things to do if you really want to stay home and raise your kids yourself. I wouldn't change a thing.
Curt says:
Whatever you do, don't put your kids back in daycare. You will probably regret it more then any other change that you make, and your kids will never be the same.
You can making the right choice, the choice that more people need to begin making. The choice to parent your children and give them the most valuable thing they could have – you time.
Trend has some excellent ideas. Give them some time to find a way to work this out.

Jacqueline says:
This is as great article. I compare the financial situation described here as paralleling the person who wants to lose weight but already eats healthily and can't just cut out refined sugar or flour because they already don't eat them. My husband lost one of his jobs, and our income is cut in half. We were in heavy debt pay-off mode, not savings mode, when he lost his job, so we are really feeling this. I think the bottom line for us is to to stretch every frugal technique as far as we can. We are wearing layers indoors with the thermostat set on 54. Our primary protein is beans, and I'm baking a lot. This isn't best case scenario, but we're surviving in the meantime. My husband also has gone back over his email inbox and done what he can to drum up old freelance contacts. We're not getting rich, but so far, we're not going further into debt. Great point too about letting friends and family know where you are. Maybe there's a fine line between begging and informing, but there are people in our lives who want to help, but they have to know how to do so.

I work in a family center, there is a lot of people who come for services, they have some income, but not enough, and we are here to help:
-food pantry
– clothing
– presents on birthdays and for Christmas
– free after-school program
All of that just with registering as family in the center. It's religious so it works like a community. We have specific help for specific families (we focus on inmates families) but everyone is welcome.
Look around for that kind of center.
Check also for what they expect from you in return (for example we expect to see the family every week, attend fundraising events, help with some community services, attend parenting workshop..)
Not much required, a real help for the people who come..
Rocky says:
Great advice as per normal.

No need to strike fear into someone about daycare Curt. Many children have attended daycare, mine included, and have yet to show negative effects from it. (My three young serial killers haven't been caught yet!)
I second/third/forth the idea of taking a part-time job in the evenings and weekends. There are lots of benefits to it, including the fact that the usual stay home parent gets some time away from the kids and interaction with adults and the regularly working parent gets more time with the kids.

I would add:
*know where your money, to the penny, is going
*contact utilities to see if you can get any assistance with your heating or other bills
*for holiday gifts, ask family members for things you need (boots, linens, giftcard to the pharmacy) rather than toys, games, etc.
*check out Freecycle.org and craigslist.org- people give away things they no longer need. I've given away everything from food to clothing to craft supplies and received clothing for my daughter, a bike for my husband, and other craft supplies
*check your local library for resources. They often have free classes and workshops. You can also get free internet access there.
*you could get assistance with food and clothing and toiletries from a food pantry or clothing closet. Many are run through non-profits and churches.
*you may indeed need to have a second income for a time. Consider a newspaper route that you can do before your partner goes to work / your child can come along. Or snow removal during the winter, other things. My parents pick up aluminum cans for the bottle deposit (in MI it is 10 cents per can- they often find $5-10 worth a week just going on daily walks). It's small but it helps.
cv says:
I'd think about ways to become a 1.25 or 1.5 income family – can the stay at home parent babysit or provide child care for a neighbor for a few hour a week? Do freelance work? Take in sewing, as someone mentioned above? Provide computer repair services? Do telephone customer service from home? There should be something the person can do for a few hours a week that might help close the gap.
Jennifer says:
Sometimes there just any where else to cut. If that is the case, then you have to figure out a way to bring in more income. What can you sell? Can you deliver papers? Can you work from home? Look for every opportunity to earn money to make ends meet. For me, when we were in this situation, I got a job working in the nursery of our church. It was typically weekday mornings, or evenings. I ended up making a couple of hundred a month and it was just enough to make my staying home manageable. Look for something like that if you can. Good luck!
Krista says:
Definitely remember that working doesn't always mean 40 hrs per week plus a commute. In addition to supermarkets, you should also check out children's retailers. A part time job at a kids' clothing store will get you some extra income AND cut down your clothing costs (since you usually get a discount).
The other thing to look into are LETS schemes in your neighbourhood. These are organized bartering groups, where you can often use some of your less mainstream skills in exchange for goods or money (I've even seen people rent out their tools and heavy machinery).
And definitely utilize Freecycle as much as possible. When I moved I used it as my primary source for furnishing my house. I wouldn't even consider buying something until I had spent a week trying to find it for free. You'd be amazed how often you can find things you need for no money.
And… @Curt: considering this woman is already aprehensive about putting her kids in daycare, that comment was just plain insensitive.
katy says:
Wonderful post! May I also recommend the dollar stretcher,
tips on everything and also a community of stretchers.
wewally says:
Don't be ashamed of food stamps, they are there for a reason. The same with WIC, its got less requirements. Add a renter, good college kids can be quiet and studious.
Kate@LivingTheFrugalLife says:
Another option to consider is taking in a boarder or a roommate. If you have a "junk" room, clear it out and find someone who will pay you a monthly rent for it. Same goes if you have an extra bay in your garage. Rent it out to someone who needs storage space.
If your family still has more than one vehicle, figure out how to survive on just one. You'll get some cash from the sale, and save on the insurance costs.
oneofnine says:
If you only have one young son, it is fairly easy to work as a babysitter/nanny out of the home. Advertise or answer ads on craigslist for childcare. Many families don't mind at all if you bring your child with you, especially if they have kids the same age. I did that when I was pregnant with my first son, and I stayed with the family for almost 4 years until my second came along and it was too hard to nanny with both my own kids and two others. Still, by that time I was already part of the family and they still call me for the odd babysitting job in the evening or on weekends. Earning $10-$15 an hour for watching a couple of kids is almost too easy!
I have another friend (stay at home mom) who organizes kids parties on the side. She makes about $100 for putting together holiday or birthday parties and organizes everything so the parents don't have to do it. You might think that with the state of the economy no one would pay for a kids party planner, but its not true. She organizes very simple but fun activities (parents pay for all the supplies) and has a party booked almost every weekend! (Brings in an extra $400-$500 every month)
Kim says:
(Dave Ramsey would say that Jen and her family have an income crisis).
It's just difficult now for a middle-class family to live on one income. Those days are probably over – unless you are willing to give up more than most people: one car, vacations, savings, shopping retail, eating out, computer access, cable, replacement versus repairs, the list is endless and full of hard choices.
Frugal Bachelor says:
Sorry but this sounds like nothing more than somebody who wants to live a particular lifestyle, yet refuses to work in order to support it. Instead of thinking in terms of cutting costs, figure out how much the lifestyle you want to lead costs, and then generate the income required to support it. Also without knowing numbers on what your monthly expenses/income are it is impossible for anybody to give you realistic advice which might possibly be useful. With such a vague problem statement, trying to come up with any concrete advice is just a shot in the dark. What expenses specifically have you tried to cut and and how much are you spending on them currently?
Mike says:
My wife and I have 2 kids, 4 and 2 years and we have been on both sides of this. We started with her staying at home, then moved to part time and full time work, now with the third child on the way we are actually moving to one income again. However we are much wiser in the process. For the past 8 months span we have been putting away a back up savings to cover our costs and prevent us from financing purchases.
Here is my thoughts, find some work to come up with as a transition plan. You want to be there with your kids because you enjoy them, think its best and I suspect your spouse probably appreciates it. So come up with a transition plan. It might be working at Wal-mart odd hours for some time. I would suggest non traditional child car, maybe a family friend that could come in once in a while, someone you know and can trust with your child. These psedo aunts are worth their weight in gold. Don't give up hope, work with your spouse on this one, its never easy because we do have to sacrifice in some areas to make it meet. But there will no doubt be a time in your life when you can work as much as you want, but I suspect now isn't that time for you.
momof4 says:
Direct sales ISN'T for everyone, but it CAN BE a good source of income for a sahp, if you thoroughly investigate the opportunities and look for one with a low start up cost, and no inventory, and you are diligent about keeping your business costs down. This is the route I have gone and am very happy with it, and am able to be home with my kids during the day.
Early Retirement Extreme says:
Places to cut: Housing (downsize, move in with parents), car (sell), TV (go to broadcast, ditch entirely), internet, phone service (except a prepaid cell), subscriptions, vacations, restaurant visits, gifts, donations, clothes (patch and wear it out), hobbies, meat and milk products, heating (above 55F), cooling (below 95F), water (no running), electricity (lights off),…
Michelle says:
I have a different approach to cutting back. Instead of looking at what you can cut, start from the opposite perspective. How much do you spend on food, medical, housing, and necessary utilities? Consider that to be your absolute baseline spending. Is this amount less than what your husband is making? If yes, then from there add back in the areas of spending that are most important TO YOU. If no, then you either need to accept your accumulation of debt during this time in your life or you need to make more money. I wish you the best of luck!
bay says:
This is a sticky situation, but I have to say that I disagree with Kim that the era of the stay-at-home middle class mom is over. It does take one decent wage earner, but if you plan wisely and make frugal decisions it is still possible to go out to eat once in a while, take a vacation, etc.
Since Jen really is passionate about staying with her son, I would suggest looking into working at a daycare (or church preschool, etc.) where she could still be in the same facility as her child and work a few hours. Also, like Trent suggested, getting a part-time job, and this could even be direct sales. My sister sold jewelry through evening and weekend parties while staying at home with her son and now that she works full time, she still keeps that business up because she has people 'under' her that continue to earn her money!
It is possible, and I wouldn't give up hope.
KT says:
I think it would be interesting to have Jen and her husband track their expenses down to the penny for a month and send the information into Trent. Sometimes it's hard to see solutions that might be obvious to an outsider. I'd certainly try that before looking for a way to make money. Caring for a young child is full time work, and it can be easier to live more frugally than to get a job that takes time away from your child.
Jacqui says:
I had a stay-at-home mom. When money was tight she worked as a night clerk in a small hotel and later as a church secretary. We almost never ate a restaurant, no cable, bought practical used cars, wore hand-me-down childrens clothes when possible, bought new clothes only once or twice a year, got only a few small presents, and had to save up from our small allowance or earn enough to buy indulgences. All of which I'm greatfull for.
There's nearly always something else you can cut. Switch to cloth diapers and try to potty train as early as possible. Get a food processor and make your own baby food. Buy in bulk. Eat less meat. Drop your TV service.
Put off purchases, you'll likely discover you can live without them. But perhaps most importantly, get involved in your community. Through a church or school group or some activity with other SAHMs. You'll not only find people to share stuff with, you'll get helpful advice and much needed emotional support.
steve says:
This post got me thinking:
I can remember eating out with my parents when I was a kid maybe six times in my entire life.
It just didn't happen.
they would go out on dates sometimes to a restaurant, but the family almost NEVER ate in a restaurant. Meals were cooked at home, lunches were packed from home.
Somehow as a society we got away from that over the last 20 years, at least middle class people did. To the detriment of our personal finances, I would say.
BTW, If you want to get a different perspective on "needs" versus wants, I suggest checking out Early Retirement Extreme's website (he posted a comment a little bit above mine) as well as Trent's It may give you some support in reducing your "lifestyle" quite a bit more than maybe you are used to, in order to happily fulfill your important goals, which in your case would probably be being able to remain a one-income household (as opposed to his goal, which is extreme early retirement. But the tactics can be similar even though the goal is different).
steve says:
BTW, I also agree about the heating comment for those in cold climates. 55F is a perfectly livable temperature once you get used to it and once you dress for it. At night you can easily go lower, unless prevented by a lease agreement or insurance clause.
Did you ever see the movie "A Lion In Winter," about King Richard? There is one scene where he (played by Richard Burton, I believe) and the queen (played by Katherine Hepburn) wake up in their bedchamber in the winter morning, get out of bed, and King Richard goes to the side of the room to the washbasin. He then BREAKS THE ICE that's covering the water in the washbasin so he can splash some water on his face.
So a 20 degree room was good enough for a king back then, but somehow nowadays most people can't stand below 65 degrees year round. Hmmm…
compared to standing outside the the 15 F cold, 55 is very balmy!.
Lisa says:
Hi! Jen~~~Can you write back in & give us specific things from your budget? It would help to know what areas you are having trouble with. I have been a stay at home Mom for most of our child's life, except for few times. He turned 18 this year.My husband makes $11.27 per hour & this is the highest income we have had.We haven't been on assistance from govt., since he was like 3 when we got food stamps $104 month & wic & that was only for about a year & we ended up having to pay 2 months back cause our income went up bylike $50 over the level.We are doing ok. We rent an upper half of house , which is cold now-no insulation , but cheaper than other rentals at $375 a month for about 650 square feet. You can e-mail me at email@example.com or write back here. I'll try to give you tips on any areas you want. I have lots of bookmarked websites that havegood info on frugal living. blessings, lisa
eden says:
You could also consider taking a part time job during the day – but trading childcare with another stay at home parent with an opposite schedule. Ex. You could work Mon and Wed mornings, and the other person could work Tue and Thu afternoons.
DivaJean says:
"Whatever you do, don't put your kids back in daycare. You will probably regret it more then any other change that you make, and your kids will never be the same."
I would avoid daycare only in that it costs so much, not in that its going to lead to the ruin of the children. (Insert hand wringing damsel-ly picture here) I would agree more in looking for off hour work where one parent could be home.
"This is a sticky situation, but I have to say that I disagree with Kim that the era of the stay-at-home middle class mom is over."
No its not. There are tons of frugality sites about how stay at homes economize, scrimp, & save to make it possible in this time. It may require a black belt in frugality, but it CAN be done. My take home is a tickle over $35K— and my hubby is a SAHM for our 4 kids. Granted, we do get a stipend from Uncle Sam since we adopted foster children– but that is the "college fund" money and is our third rail, never to touch unless extenuating circumstance AND only if needed for kid related needs since it is their money.
SteveJ says:
I had two thoughts:
One along the lines of the part-time job, is it possible for the working spouse maybe work at home one day a week, or flex the hours a bit to work weekends or the like? That might give the couple more options as far as finding additional work hours in another job.
The other is to look for seasonal work as a quick fix way to maybe get some money saved up for leaner times. Obviously retail is dying down, but tax season is upon us. Can Jen or her husband put in some long hours for a couple months to get ahead a little bit? (hopefully finding someone to watch the kids on the cheap with the knowledge that it's a temporary situation). My wife isn't quite a SAHM, but she juggles part-time jobs to give us a cushion when we need one.
Either way you have to cut costs or trade some time for money. It's hard to get by on 3-4 hours a sleep, but you can do it for a few months if you're getting desperate.
I think the family center idea is a great one as well. I have a hard time taking charity, but there's a lot of people that really want to help and it improves their lives to make a difference in yours.
Battra92 says:
Until I was in the 4th grade my mom was a stay at home mom. I remember eating Spaghetti Os for lunch most every day (well that and Campbell's soup)
Battra92 says:

I should mention that we went to "daycare" for a few hours a couple days a week just because we had no kids in the neighborhood (and none of my mom's friends had kids) so it was a good way for us to play with others and get us out of the house. If you can't do this, maybe there's a grandmother who could watch them a couple hours once or twice a week while you take a small side job.
Johanna says:
Are charity and government assistance really appropriate resources to sustain the long-term lifestyle of someone whose income is voluntarily reduced? I seem to recall from previous discussions here that the consensus was that those resources exist primarily as temporary measures for people who are down on their luck, to help them get back on their feet.
But it sounds like Jen and her partner are a one-income family by choice (funny how so many people are assuming that Jen is the one staying home, when she doesn't specify that) and intend to be so for the long term. Their situation is not all that different than if I were to quit my job (for no reason other than that I don't feel like doing it anymore) and support myself on what I can get from charity.
In these tough times, charities are being stretched thinner and thinner with all the people who are losing their jobs and have no other choice. I'm sorry if this sounds hard-hearted for Christmas Eve, but when I donate money to help the less fortunate, I don't really want it going to people who could earn enough money to support themselves but choose not to.
CD says:
Johanna, I agree with you. On the other hand, some of the more *difficult* options (scale down your home) are virtually untenable at this particular economic time. I have friends desperate for work applying for lowend jobs and there are TONS of applicants for retail, etc. It may not be that easy to find work *regardless* of how willing you are to work.
Staying away from daycare is a poor excuse for not working, as well. My daycare provider is
"grandma" for my kids and though both my kids are in school/preschool now – they still visit "grandma" monthly (gasp! for FREE) for a day of fun. When DH was unemployed she'd watch them for us because she missed them and DH had to study for tests and go on interviews. My daycare provider and I "clicked" when we met and she is now one of my closest friends here.
Had I not developed that relationship I would not have any support system at all since I have no family nearby other than my elderly Mom who can't watch the kids and often needs help herself.
For the situtation of Trend's friend – I agree with Trent. Nose to the grindstone, cut out *everything* and actively work on finding some kind of part time work. In this economy, I'd rent my home out and live with relatives or in a small studio rather than try to sell…. but that's just me.
In this area you can rent studio apartments for less than $500/month. That, and a $10 emergency phone would round out the bare minimum monthly requirements for getting by assuming bus service is available for transportation, and food stamps are available to cover food.
Of course that would be severe, but may be better than bankruptcy, losing a home, or moving in with relatives.
Michelle H. says:
I was a stay at home mom on a very limited income for many years – I'd love to help if I can. You can email me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Lisa says:
Are there any possible options to increase the salary of the income earner? Additional hours, certifications that can demand a higher salary, company career path programs?
jreed says:
Commercial office cleaning – weeekends and nights – it is good money and fairly easy cleaning because there are no kids, cooking or pets…just vacuuming, dusting, powder rooms (no tubs or showers) and emptying the trash. Plus it is good exercise.
Battra92 says:
@Johanna, you seem to be really sensitive about the whole women staying at home thing. I don't know the exact numbers but I'd wager a guess that the odds are very good that it's her.
I would agree though that she's not a charity case. I live in a perpetually stagnant area (we never see the high highs but we never feel the truly low lows) and a lot of places here seem to be looking for temporary work.
I'd also look at Craigslist for tutoring, odd jobs and other such work to bring in a few extra dollars here and there.
Jennifer says:
I have to disagree on the comment about middle income families not being able to make it on one income anymore. My husband is a teacher and while things have been tight over the years, I have stayed home for the past 9 years. I have done sporadic things like in home daycare, working in the churches nursery and now having a blog that generates income, but the money I have always earned has gone towards the extras that we were not able to afford on my husbands salary. With the 1 income though, we have always been able to own a home and 2 cars and live a decent life with everything we need. I think it is totally doable, even today, if the parents want it bad enough to cut out the extras.
Mark says:
When there are no expenses left to cut or costs to trim, then you must generte extra income. You can find ways to get paid for almost anything today.
CD says:
Jennifer, it's true that if you plan well practically any goal is attainable. The issues for most folks is that unfortunately (or sometimes not), circumstances change.
They did for my Mom, whose husband died unexpectedly at 42, my friend whose husband was layed off in 2001 (tech bubble) and net income was 50% for about 5 years till he rebuilt his career. For another friend who ended with a husband with cancer in late 30s. Or for other friends who started out happily in a two income situation but ended up being caregivers to a disabled child, or caring for elderly parents.
If you plan well, and your plan continues working for your circumstances… of course it all works out. However, there are a lot of curveballs in life. Remaining flexible regarding you situation is the best course, and not judging others for doing what is best in their circumstances. Because you really don't know what's going on in their lives.
Coments like "if they want it bad enough to cut out the extras" certainly make light of how life-altering events can change even the best plans.
Len Penzo says:
I will be politically incorrect here, but if you are having trouble making it on one income, then you most likely aren't trying hard enough. There may be extenuating circumstances, but your note just doesn't give enough information.
In the end it's all about living within your means and making the right choices. You CAN be happy and live a comfortable life on one income if you are willing to make the right choices.
For more on this, please check out my humble blog and this post, in particular: http://lenpenzo.com/blog/id213-the-dirty-lowdown-distinguishing-wants-from-needs.html
For now, your first step must be to dig ndown deep to understand what you really need from what you think you need.
stacy says:
Several people have suggested you take care of a couple other kids to make money. My friend tried that and her doctor bills went Way up due to the sick kids coming in the house and making her kid sick. Just something to think about.
Laura says:
@Steve (#21) Because the mortality rate was so awesomely low during the Crusades, right? Lowering the temperature to 55F during the day isn't all that great for an infant who has very little immune defense.
Sunbee says:
It's not impossible. It just feels that way some days. I stay home with now four children, and mostly have since the begining. Daycare would cost more than I'd make at this point. It helps that the only debt we have are student loans and medical copays. You might also find it helpful to stop thinking of yourself as middle class. Because really, in terms of wages, you're embracing voluntary poverty. (Quite possibly in terms of governemental standards, you are.)
Try this: make a list of the stuff you have to have to survive and why you have to have it and then see what the least expensive way to provide that is.
As far as earning extra income goes, there's always child care. If you like to sell stuff, you can try a direct sales item. If you can teach something, see if you can find a student. Are you connected in any way with any homeschool families? We hire people to teach our kids specialty classes all the time.
Angela says:
This is and old post but since it was relinked I'll say it anyway. If keeping the kids out of daycare and with the parents is the biggest goal then maybe mom should start looking for a job that pays better than dad's and dad can stay home. I know plenty of families where the mother is the high income earner. Or course in my family both parents worked and I wouldn't have had it any other way. I had plenty of kids to play with and socialize with at daycare. My mother had a life and career of her own and was always so happy to pick me up and spend time with me. I wasn't a job to her. I just really can't see going on welfare to support a life style choice when I could work.
One note on the daycare though. Check the laws in your area first. An illegal daycare operation could cost you way more than it brings in. Some places babysitting more than one child can count as running an illegal daycare.

Have been looking for "just the right" pillow for quite a while. I normally look for a "moldable" pillow, one that I can scrunch and fluff or flatten at will....which always means down, but which just don't hold up. This pillow in NO WAY is moldable, scrunchable, fluffable, or flattenable! I do not understand why it is so comfortable for me. It retains the same shape and height no matter what I do to it, but is still very comfortable. I am falling asleep fast and easy, and staying asleep. Awaken feeling rested too. Hope it lasts a very long time, or I'll never be able to justify the expense! So far, so good.....loving this pillow!
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Accurate
Great organic pillow. No odor and nice to know I am not breathing chemicals during the night. It was a little bigger (fluffiness-wise) than I thought it would be (medium fill), but it is comfortable and cradles my head nicely.
These pillows are as described as far as firmness/softness goes. Not quite as squishy and formable as down but they are comfortable. I was weary to purchase them without any reviews but I am happy that I did; natural, organic, chemical-free is important to me. I didn't give them 5 stars because there was a very slight odor on them when I first took them out of the bag; I let them air out and now it is gone.
Oh my goodness! When I opened this pillow and smelled the slight scent that other people mentioned I was in heaven. This is the smell of sheep grazing on a green meadow on a sunny day. Love it! Reminds me of driving the countryside of rural Northern California, near Bodega Bay and the pastures of Sonoma County. This is not a bad smell people - this is the smell of health and NO CHEMICALS. As far as the pillow itself, it is wonderful. I used to buy down without feathers which is very expensive but they get "fowl" after awhile (there is a pun there, I know.) I'm also finding as I get older I'm allergic to the feathers. So looking for organic wool and cotton I go. Found this deal here on Overstock better than any others. Love the product, love the deal and I'm loving the sheep on my bed!
Very happy with comforter, price and quality are great.
Great pillows for the money. Made a big difference in the quality of sleep that I am getting.
In less then a year the pillow lost shape the filling is loose feels like it is made of pieces that became loose. Did not live up to the description. Sorry I purchased it. Would not recommend to anyone.
The smell really is over whelming. It was like walking into a barn at the county fair.
I love woolen products, but these became very lumpy too quickly. Also, I was expecting them to be comfortable, in a cooling sort of way, but they caused a lot of head-sweat, which I think helped create the lumpiness. Not a good value at all.
I absolutely love my pillows. Best nights sleep in a very long time. I would definitely recommend this item.
Certainly not a medium firm pillow. Wool clumps into softball sized lumps providing no support.
Very flimsy and not much support. Would not purchase again.
I did a lot of research before buying this wool pillow in medium firmness as it is the recommended firmness for side sleepers. I have tried every pillow on the market trying to get comfortable support for a neck injury sustained in a car accident. The first two nights the Eco-Valley pillow gave perfect support. However, the third night I was disturbed by lumpiness which gradually became worse each night in addition to the entire loft of the pillow going flat. It is barely comfortable as a side pillow. Really disappointing, especially considering the cost ($** for a King size). Maybe this is typical for all wool but maybe I got some kind of defective pillow?? I have no idea but will probably not make the investment in a different brand to find out after this experience.
I bought one for me and my mother. This pillow contains no chemicals, fire retardants and looses that wool smell after about a week. ;) (better than a chemical petroleum smell forever). I absolutely love it but in the future would want to be able to remove the wool with a zipper so I could re-fluff the wool inside. I may install a zipper on my own. The medium is still soft but not too soft.
I thought this got flat too easily and just did not provide enought support for my neck (back sleeper).
I have search high and low for just the right pillow, and this one is it! Have had it about a month and find it to have just the right amount of support. I have a smaller neck and many other medium pillows are way too high, which causes neck strain and pain. This one is perfect. I liked it so much I ordered a second one! Other reviews mentioned a slight odor when taking it out of the bag, but I did not experience anything like that. This one is a keeper!
Time for new pillows so shifting from down to wool it seems very firm. I bought one to see which firmness we would need. Will probably try the next one less firm. It's a personal thing, so I don't know if this will help anyone. Glad I purchased it, great for sitting up and reading in bed and I now know I am a side sleeper.
I love these pillows. They are relatively cool to sleep on. I am a side sleeper and the medium fill works fine for me.
