All of Alanis Morisettes Ironic.
I don't care if it's not technically ironic.
"Spit ya fluidest, Bitch..."
It's pretty much perfect. The acoustic re-recording was unnecessary, even if it does give us the "meeting the man of your dreams, then meeting his beautiful husband" line.
To be honest, most of Jagged Little Pill is perfect.
"Spit ya fluidest, Bitch..."
I tend to stand by the theory that the irony lies in writing a song called "Ironic" whose individual lyrics are terrible examples of irony. She clearly sings the song with some ambiguity - "And isn't it ironic, don't you think?" instead of some iteration of "I think this is ironic". And when she does say "and yeah I really do think" in the bridge it's blatantly sarcastic.Originally Posted by Itty Bitty Piggy

Results 1 to 7 of 7
Carrier 80% furnace consistently running a high heat rise.
Not quite 1 year old Carrier single-stage 80-percenter, 66k BTU. Can't recall the model and serial. The house is an older 1100 sq. ft. ranch with a single return in the hall and two more in bedrooms.
Unit was consistently going out on primary limit. I found the temperature rise to be well over 80F when I first got there. 40-70 is the correct range.
After verifying the correct blower speed setting and that the capacitor was good, I checked the gas pressure. Was set at 3.7"wc. I pulled it back to 3.2". Data tag says 3.2 to 3.8. A-coil was only three years old, and clean. Venting was fine. And it wasn't the vent limit switch that was tripping.
The filter is a 16x20 pleated that was new. There was also a patch panel over a roughly 10x10 hole on the drop where a humidifier used to be. I pulled both of those just out of curiosity to see what I would get. Temp rise dropped to a bit over 70. Still high, though.
I think the return duct is a contributor to the problem. The bottom of the drop is basically a 16x16x20 box with the filter in it. There's a 16x8 drop on top of that. On one side of the drop, there's 8" round that goes off to a single return (can't tell exactly how far - basement is finished). On the other side of the drop, 16x10 ductwork goes about 8 feet, making two 90-degree turns in the process, before it stops and another several feet of 8" round connects to the panning for the other two returns.
I'm only describing the ductwork from memory. And I'm sure my descriptions of it sound goofy...I'm greener than green on the whole tin side of things.
What is the correct blower speed setting? The one set by the manufacturer?
This unit needs to be moving about 860 cfm of air (130 cfm/10k btuh) in the heating mode.
Did you have a chance to do a static pressure test, or use some other means of verifying the airflow? My guess is you are probably pushing .8 - 1.0" wc. in this system.
As an example - the carrier 58STX070 (66k btuh, 40-70ºf temp rise) with a 2 ton blower, will only move 870 cfm on the high speed tap at 0.5" wc. On the med-low speed tap, it is only moving 595 cfm of air at 0.5" wc.Last edited by rundawg; 12-23-2012 at 08:59 AM. Reason: typo

I've found these carrier units sensitive to low airflow, especially when the furnace is oversized. 66k for 1100 sq ft is oversized unless the house is in Alaska, 50% glass, or leaks like a sieve. The solution is to repair the marginal ductwork and returns or install a 44k furnace that has the same size blower.

In my neighborhood with houses as described (like mine) that furnace works just fine after I've done some improvement to the return duct.

You need to move more air. Increase the fan speed if possible. If it's not possible to increase fan speed you'll need to increase your duct size to move more air. Most likely the return is undersized. Measure the external static pressure to determine where the most restriction is located.

South of the Border Flavors at El Mexican Restaurant
Patch samples the empanadas, burrito and caprese salad at Glenview's newest mexican restaurant.
Shortly after Patch covered El Mexican's late-November opening, commenters wrote about their experiences trying the small restaurant's food.
J.P. wrote she would come back because of El's steak tacos. Kathryn Eisen called it the best food she has ever had. You heard it here first, folks.
I had a few meals at the storefront restaurant at 2528 Waukegan Rd. in Glenview over several visits after the opening. I tried the vegetarian burrito, caprese salad, beef and pork empanadas. I have also added the restaurant to Foursquare, which basically means I plan to go back often.
The first dish I tried at El was a vegi burrito, my typical go-to meal when eating at a taqueria. Most of my taqueria visits happen late at night, somewhere in Chicago, after a beer or wine tasting, at which time almost anything tastes good. But El's burrito was different.
Eloin Amador, El's co-founder and chef, adds fried tofu and a sweet, Mexican zucchini to the vegi burrito. Combined with refried beans, pico de gallo, avocado and cheese, El's burritos are big, a little sloppy and full of flavors. You won't get a bland, beans and rice wrap here.
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the three dishes came from the caprese salad — a combination of sliced tomato, nopales, avocado, queso fresco and green onions, served with a tangy jalapeno-cilantro dressing.
The serving is generous and filling, but because it's a cold salad the dish is oddly refreshing. You'll still want a glass of water handy to wash down the jalapeno-cilantro dressing, and don't be surprised by the mild creaminess from the cheese topping. It's a satisfying side salad if you want to compliment a meaty dish.
Eventually I realized I hadn't tried any meat dishes, made with ingredients from sustainable, Midwest farms, so I paid El another visit for a taste of their epanadas. These warm, doughy pockets are pretty simple — meat and dough served under a bed of lettuce and cheese — perfect for kids who might not be interested in El's more exotic flavors or big enough to finish a burrito.
Two or three of these would make a good meal based on appetite, or try one for a simple appetizer before a bigger meal.

Carroll County's basketball team scored one of their biggest victories of the season Tuesday night against Oak Hill Red, but it was football that made the biggest news of the night.
Minutes after the Cavaliers rallied for a 59-51 win over the Warriors, senior offensive tackle Lucas Holder, also a center on the basketball team, verbally committed to play football at Liberty University. Holder gave his commitment in person to Liberty head coach Turner Gill, who was in attendance with his assistant head coach, Carl Torbush.
"I walked over to Coach Gill and hugged him, and he saw the (Liberty) hat I was wearing," Holder said. "And I told him, 'I am coming to school next year,' and he wrapped his arms around me and he said, 'Good. We are glad to have you on board.' It is a great feeling. It is good to be over. It was a fun process, but I am glad I finally have closure."
Certainly, it has been a long recruiting process for the 6-6, 270-pound offensive tackle. An All-Region IV first-team selection and an All-Group AA second-team pick by the Virginia High School Coaches Association, Holder drew interest from a number of colleges, including a handful of ACC schools. An official visit to Liberty the Jan. 26-27 weekend sold him on his decision, however.
"The people there, from the coaches to the students, everyone will always lend an extra hand. Everyone is extra nice to people so it really sold it for me. They were just Class A, Grade A people," Holder said. "If my kids had to sign with somebody, it's someone I would want them to be with. I didn't see them as coaches. I went into Coach Gill's home and saw them all as fathers and husbands. They were just great men. That was the thing I love and respect about all of them."
In December of 2012, Holder was one of about 100 high school seniors chosen to play in the NUC All-American North-South Senior Game in Myrtle Beach, S.C. He also helped pave the way for quarterback Connor Lundy to set a school record for passing yards in a season with 1,723 in 2012.
At Liberty, Holder will have the chance to play for some highly-regarded coaches. Gill, who went 28-2 as the starting quarterback for Nebraska in the early 1980s, quickly made a name for himself in the coaching ranks for turning the University of Buffalo from one of the worst programs in college football into the Mid American Conference champions in 2008. After a two-year stint as head coach at Kansas University, Gill took over as Liberty's head coach in December of 2011.
Torbush also brings an impressive resume to Liberty, having served three years as the head coach at the University of North Carolina from 1998-2000. He has also coached at Alabama, Texas A&M, Ole Miss and Baylor, among other schools.
"Regardless of their coaching accolades, they are just great people," Holder said. "It is good to be around good, wholesome people and that is the thing that stuck out to me. That is what I want to surround myself with."
It also doesn't hurt that Liberty is highly regarded both academically and athletically. The Flames have won five of the past six Big South Conference football championships and are eyeing a move to big-time Division I football in the near future.
"They are expanding the stadium right now. It holds about 20,000 and by my sophomore year it will hold 35,000," Holder said. "They have the biggest football-only weight room in the country and they have one of the top strength and conditioning coaches in the country. He bench pressed 805 pounds. And it's a big deal for me because this is what I have been working for since I was probably 14 years old."
Ironically, Holder first caught the eye of Liberty's coaches while they were scouting another player, Martinsville's Larry Perkins, a 6-5 defensive end that made the All-Timesland team this past season.
"They came and watched me at Homecoming, but they didn't come to watch me. They came to watch the Perkins kid from Martinsville," Holder said. "By the end of the game, Coach (Dennis) Wagner told me he was watching him because he was on me the whole night and he only had two tackles the whole game. I shut him down and Wagner called our coaches and told them he wanted me down for a visit."
Since that time, Holder has built a special relationship with Wagner, his position coach.
"He is a great guy," Holder said. "Three of his former players just played in the Pro Bowl and he has coached over 25 NFL players. It's just a great place to be and to develop, not only as an athlete, but also academically and spiritually. They develop you as a person, helping you become a better man, not only in football, but by becoming a better person while doing it."
Holder said he plans to send in his national letter of intent to Liberty on Feb. 6, National Signing Day.

From the Horse's Mouth: Former Citigroup CEO Says Break Up the Banks
In a remarkable policy shift, former Citigroup chairman and chief executive Sandy Weill now thinks that Wall Street should break up its big banks in an effort to regain the public's trust. "What we should probably do is go and split up investment banking from banking," Weill said on CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Wednesday. "Have banks be deposit takers, have banks make commercial loans and real estate loans, have banks do something that's not going to risk the taxpayer dollars, that's not too big to fail."
"I'm suggesting that they be broken up so that the taxpayer will never be at risk, the depositors won't be at risk, the leverage of the banks will be something reasonable, and the investment banks can do trading," he said. Weill essentially called for the return of the Glass-Steagall Act, CNBC said. The 1933 Depression-era legislation separated investment and commercial banking activities in the wake of the 1929 stock market crash and commercial bank failure, according to Investopedia. It was repealed in 1999 during the Clinton administration.
Weill was one of the architects of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which helped repeal Glass-Steagall. (In his former office, Weill proudly displayed a large wooden sign with the words "The Shatterer of Glass-Steagall" etched into it.) The 79-year-old Wall Street legend also called for complete transparency in the banking industry. "There should be no such thing as off balance sheet," he said. "I want to see us be a leader, and what we're doing now is not going to make us a leader."

Hot Flashes OverviewA hot flash is a feeling of warmth spreading throughout the body that is often most pronounced in the head and neck areas. Hot flashes are typically brief (lasting from about 30 seconds to a few minutes) and are sometimes associated with redness of the skin (flushing) and/or perspiration. Hot flashes are a common symptom of the menopausal transition in women, but not all women approaching menopause will have hot flashes. About 75% of women in the menopausal transition experience hot flashes. Hot flashes can also occur as a result of certain uncommon medical conditions.

The original - great for costumes or just reminiscing. Fits narrow at the toe, and a bit long, so you can take a half size down, if your foot is narrow enough.

Great fit, good looking, however, poor manufacture. I had worn the shoes about 6 times and the soles of each bent at the ridges and caused holes, I continued to wear them until I was caught in a rain storm and water - and lots of it - leaked through the openings in each sole. Soaked my feet. Ruined my shoes. Where does Bass manufacture these shoes? Very shoddy job.

I've been looking for a good quality saddle shoe (no Payless junk) for years. I hate buying clothes online, especially shoes, because my feet are flat, narrow and have a low instep, but with the return policy Zappos has I couldn't pass this up. The shoe (8N) fit like a glove. I love how they feel and how they look. I'm seriously considering getting another pair to hold onto for later after these wear out because I plan on wearing then a lot and don't want to go for years without my favorite shoe.

Lunar War
The Tsukihime universe is one of my favorite places to be in the anime world. In my opinion, it's Type-Moon's greatest achievement. This game is a TBRPG which will be a host to many of the characters from that world. Right now, I only have Shiki Tohno but the system is ready to add more and more characters.
If you've never heard of Tsukihime I suggest you read the manga on mangafox or something. It's really good.

Sixers-Clippers Preview: Tankadelphia vs Lob City
The Sixers take on the LA Clippers in the first match of a tough four game road trip.
The Sixers take on the LA Clippers in the first match of a tough four game road trip.
The 76ers were able to hang on and win a nail-biter against the Portland Trailblazers 101-100 The 76ers officially announced during half time that Andrew Bynum would have season ending arthroscopic surgery on both of his knees.
The 76ers, who were up 6 to start the 4th quarter, held on to defeat the Blazers. During the game, the Sixers announced that Andrew Bynum would miss the remainder of the season with surgery on both knees.
And an entire nation... nods like they knew this was coming.
Despite the 76ers and Celtics both missing star players, the teams are headed in very different directions. The Celtics are 11-4 since Rajon Rondo went down for the season and in firm grasp of a playoff spot.
He'll end up missing the whole season because he doesn't want to play in pain. And I'm having a hard time blaming him.
After a whole lot of uncertainty, we can tell you that Andrew Bynum did indeed practice yesterday with the team. That's fantastic news.
Bynum has finally practiced with the team, like the actual team, and it happened in the dead of night and nobody was told. This is great news but I'm so confused.
Going through each of the Sixers' 26 losses this season and performing If Bynum's Healthy Revisionist Surgery.
We'll bring the links, you bring the discussion. Casual Friday open thread discussion fun for everyone!

two-toned color jacket runs smaller
By mary in cary
from cary, nc
Loved this jacket, tried it on in the store to make sure I was getting the right size before ordering online. The one in the store was a solid color, this one is two-toned and runs a bit smaller than the solid color. Wanted to return it, but no more sizes were available. North Face sleeves run short for the sizing.

This is a weekly linky where I'm asking you to share some of your personal foibles with the world. Things that you just have to do or can't do for no real logical reason other than it's part of who you are.
I'm starting this with a personal objective of collecting evidence towards an adult diagnosis of Asperger's, but there will be plenty of silly idiosyncracies thrown in too.
It's a light-hearted look at ourselves and a chance to focus on number one for a change. A linky all about you.
4. I'll probably forget to offer you a drink if you visit me
I find it hard to keep all the things you're supposed to do when you have guests in my head. I get too anxious about just talking (thinking about eye-contact) and remembering to ask after people that I almost always forget to offer visitors a drink.
I'm not being rude on purpose, it's just something I never remember to do. My good friends help themselves, as good friends should.
Your turn!

Growing up in a metropolitan city of New Delhi, India, Dr. Sonia Arora remembers, as a child, going to visit relatives in rural areas on summer vacation and everyone using Neem twigs to clean their teeth or applying Neem paste over wounds or on their skin.
"When asked why they were doing those things, my aunts would say, 'It's good for you, it will make your skin glow and you will not get any disease,'" said Arora.
Throughout her academic career, those very memories stayed with her. So when the opportunity arose at Kean University to have her own laboratory and establish her own projects, Arora decided to explore Neem and other natural products from the Indian subcontinent.
Neem (scientific name: Azadirachta indica) is a tree in the mahogany family, meliaceae. The evergreen is often referred to as "The Village Pharmacy" because of its widespread use in folk medicine. Extract prepared from its bark, leaf and seed has been shown to possess antihelminthic, antifungal, antibacterial and anti-malarial properties.
In a recent in vitro study, crude extract prepared from Neem leaves showed anti-HIV activity. However, the exact mechanism of action of this remains unknown. In response, Dr. Sonia Arora, assistant professor in Kean's NJ Center for Science, Technology and Mathematics (STEM) program, developed a faculty-student research study to identify the molecular target of anti-HIV-1 action of Neem compounds. Arora worked closely with senior biomedicine major Khushbu Solanki on the project; who served as both student researcher and student mentor to Jananiga Vanniyasingam.
As part of the study, the research team employed structural bioinformatics techniques to create a small database of all the compounds known to be present in crude extracts of Azadirachta indica.
"We performed molecular docking studies to deduce the most plausible target for Neem compounds," said Arora. "We hypothesize that compounds found in Neem may interact with various proteins essential for either entry or replicative life cycle of the HIV-1 virus."
Recently, the trio attended Experimental Biology (EB) 2012 in San Diego. EB is a multidisciplinary, scientific meeting comprised of nearly 14,000 educators and scientists from around the world. At the event, the STEM researchers were among only a handful of poster presenters to have a press release developed by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology on the study and its initial findings.
"The goal of the project was to determine if any of the 20 Neem compounds tested were interacting with the active sites of four HIV-1 life cycle proteins – gp41 entry protein, reverse transcriptase, integrase and protease," said Solanki, whose longtime interest in biomedicine grew when a relative was diagnosed with cancer. "The hypothesis was that if the Neem compounds were interacting with one or more HIV protein(s), those HIV proteins would be inhibited and this would inhibit HIV virus activity."
The study found that three of the Neem compounds were effective against the protease HIV protein. In vitro assays are currently underway to further verify the researchers in silico data.
The scientific name for neem is Azadirachta indica. Its name is derived from the Persian: azad = free, dirakht = tree, i - Hind = of Indian Origin. Literally, neem means "The Free Tree of India."

Among the nominations for its annual entertainment awards, GLAAD, the nation's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender advocacy and anti-defamation organization, chose to honor animation's first gay character, a film directed in part by a transgender woman and a character who comes out of the closet in retirement.
GLAAD's five nominees for wide-release films include Fox Searchlight's "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel," Focus Features' animated film "ParaNorman", Warner Bros. Tom Hanks-starrer "Cloud Atlas," Summit Entertainment's indie hit "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" and the Lynn Shelton dramedy "Your Sister's Sister."
"Marigold Hotel," which was nominated for two Golden Globes and has generated $46 million at the box office, features a sixtysomething's sexual revelation. "ParaNorman" showcases Mitch, a gay jock, as one of its gaggle of young protagonists.

Cherry Hill Mall brawl caught on video
A vicious fight that involved several people at the Cherry Hill Mall Saturday evening has surfaced on YouTube, with a video shot by an unknown passerby capturing a kick-by-punch-by-throwdown account of the melee in front of a Gap clothing store.
Two teenage boys suffered minor injuries in the latest outlandish behavior to be shot and then posted on the Internet, with township police wondering why someone would use their cell phone to shoot video of at least one minute of brawling instead of calling 9-1-1.
"It looks worse (on video) than what police found when we arrived," Cherry Hill police Detective Sgt. Joseph Vitarelli said Monday. "The story here is the person who shot the video: Why didn't that person call police right away?"
Police found two teenagers suffering from minor injuries, Vitarelli said, when officers arrived at the mall shortly after 8 p.m. One boy refused treatment at the scene for scraps and bruises on his head and was taken home by his parents. Another boy went to a nearby hospital, where he was eventually released.
Vitarelli said it was the first time he can remember any brawl of that size breaking out at the mall on Route 38. Township police were notified initially of the fight by mall security.
In the video, a handful of teenagers can be seen punching each other. At three different moments, different teenagers involved are punched or thrown to the ground and then others kick and punch the boy who falls to the ground.
No charges have been filed, Vitarelli said, but the investigation is still active.
A spokesman for the mall would not comment on specific security measures in place before and after the brawl, but said in a statement that "the incident at Cherry Hill Mall Saturday night is isolated and rare. The mall has a zero tolerance policy for any disruption or crime aimed at our shoppers and employees. We maintain a strong security presence at the mall and work closely with the Cherry Hill Police Department throughout the year. We strive to create a safe, enjoyable experience for our shoppers and employees and that will not change as a result of this incident. We refer you to the Cherry Hill Police Department for further comment."
Vitarelli would not say where either of the injured boys or others involved in the fight live.

Monday at around 4 a.m., Jimmy Hebert was sleeping in his studio apartment located on South State Street (across from Gulf Coast Bank). He heard glass break, which woke him up. Hebert, 62, thought someone was breaking into the front of his building along State Street.
He grabbed a weapon and went towards the front of the building in the dark. Walking down a long hall, he heard banging and got scared but continued walking.
Then he saw it. It was not a person.
"At first, I thought it was a big wolf or a large dog," said Hebert. "It was a deer. I was glad to see it was a deer and not a person."
A deer, somehow, traveled down State Street, probably got scared when a car passed and jumped into the glass door and shattered the front door window and came to a stop in his building.
"I tried to get it to go back out the door," he said. "It jumped a six-foot long table, ran into a ladder and ran back out of the front door."
Hebert said he opened the door and then saw the deer head south and then try to break the front glass door of the old Mouton barber shop, next to his building. It smashed the glass but could not get in. It continued to run on the sidewalk of State Street, he said
Kim Landry now owns the old Mouton barber shop. She did not know her door was broken until Monday around 5 p.m. She went to her shop and saw the glass broken. She called the Abbeville Police Department and filed a report.
According to the police call log, police officers found what looked to be deer hair on the broken glass door of Landry's business. She had been in that location less than a year.
"The first thing I thought of is what would a deer be doing in the middle of Abbeville," said Landry.
"Judge" Edwards of Abbeville, who is a wildlife expert in the parish, said he's never heard of or seen one in Abbeville's city limits.

Now Playing: 3/26/10
by DJ Ones on Mar.27, 2010, under Daytime
Here is a compilation of the latest new music we have received in the past week.
Free Energy- Stuck on Nothing
Sounding closer to Thin Lizzy and Cheap Trick, Free Energy emits a fun, upbeat, guitar heavy album.
Drive-by Truckers- The Big To-Do
Probably the best southern rock album you'll listen to this year. Imagine Dinosaur Jr. with a country slant –if you haven't listened to one of their other nine excellent albums. Get out your lighters y'all.
Love is All- Two Thousand and Ten Injuries
High energy Swedish pop. Eccentric album with a collage of traditional and not so traditional rock instruments, i.e. saxophone. The female vocals can get annoying at times but the excellent clash of sounds make up for that.
Arctic Monkeys- My Propeller (single)
Solid B-sides that play of of the similar down tempo beats from Humbug. Although they don't do anything revolutionary for the band, they are still quite enjoyable for the fans.
She & Him- Volume Two
Pop favorite Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward are at it again with another charming album. This time it's more she than him. Really sweet and endearing, although after the first few tracks you start to lose your sugar high.
Slow Club- Yeah So
This UK indie-duo has sweet lyrics, simple guitar melodies and interesting harmonies. They take turns with lead vocals and never disappoint. Every song is interesting, up-beat and give you that feeling of: I want more more more.
Pavement – Quarantine the Past: The Best of Pavement
Well, hot damn. Listening to this compilation, it's remarkable to hear how genius Pavement's music is–their low-fi aesthetic perfectly melds with Stephen Malkmus's lazy, idiosyncratic wordplay . This compilation is absolutely essential–it's sequencing is flawless and the track choice balances their singles with album gems.
Jason Collett – Rat A Tat Tat
More good stuff from the Arts & Crafts Label. Collet's tunes are impassioned with twang and swagger and his music walks the line between alt-country, 60s pop, and the more soulful dispositions of indie rock.
One For The Team- Ghosts
Catchy, unpretentious, and unabashedly fun power pop. It sounds like Mates of State with punk grit or the New Pornographers playing Something Corporate. Lots of crunchy guitars and incessant harmonies.
Josiah Wolf- Jetlag
I really like this album! Here we have the solo album from the drummer of WHY? Seeing as I am not a huge fan of WHY? I was somewhat skeptical, however I was totally wrong. I am really into this folky Paul Simon-esque experience.
Goldfrapp- Head First
You know I love this. Rocket might be the catchiest song ever. Think Xanadu meets David Bowie, a mixture of '80s glam rock and '70s disco.
Drink Up Buttercup- Born and Thrown on a Hook
Psychedelic mixture of the Beatles and Man Man. A weird pop experience for sure.
Let's Wrestle- In the Court of the Wrestling Let's
Scrappy British punk music. They are on Merge Records and have been getting a lot of press.
Dum Dum Girls- I Will Be
This is sort of a mixture between '60s girl pop and shoegaze buzz garage rock. Sort of falling the trend of most of the bands out right now, but this one is surprisingly good.
Black Tambourine- Black Tambourine
This band has pretty much influenced every popular band out right now. Shoegaze pop that resembles A Sunny Day in Glasgow, but a lot darker.

Year in Review: Disney Comics go BOOM!
Posted by Corey Blake
You'd think that with their over $4 billion purchase of Marvel Entertainment a year ago this week, the Burbank-based Walt Disney Company would have brought things in-house for comics featuring Disney characters. Instead, Disney has licensed a small but highly acclaimed line of comics to Los Angeles comics publisher Boom! Studios over the last year plus. And with their Boom! Kids line, Boom! has helped resurrect the all-ages corner of the comic book industry, something that many feared was a lost cause. Not only is this good news for increasing variety, but it's absolutely crucial in making sure that another generation doesn't slip by without learning and internalizing the language of comics.

I can remember it like it was yesterday. My dad would force us to look up from playing Atari so he could ramble on about the fact that when he was a child he only played with sticks and boxes.
"We didn't have video game systems and we actually played outside!" he exclaimed. My brother and I rolled our eyes incessantly and returned to our game of Space Invaders.
Now, I'm a mother and I find myself saying the same types of things to my children. The other day, my seven-year-old complained about having to do research for a homework assignment. I said,
"When I was a kid we didn't have the Internet. If we needed to learn about a subject we had to go to the library or read an encyclopedia." Of course, I had to further tell him that an encyclopedia was a book filled with information about topics, kind of like Wikipedia but in book form. He looked as if he felt sorry for me that my childhood was so hard.
Beyond all the modern conveniences that kids have access today, I've noticed that children are being granted more and more rights. I know that almost every generation looks at the ones that follow and feels that they have it too easy, but many children these days have no idea how good they have it.
My parents have told me many times that when they were young, kids were seen and not heard. Their parents had the last say and they weren't allowed to exert their opinion. They just had to obey and if they didn't, they would get a spanking.
Lucky for me, my parents weren't quite so strict with us, but they did have high expectations. We were required to call our parents "sir and "ma'am" when we addressed them. Now, we aren't quite as formal in my own home. Our kids call us Mom and Dad.
I've also noticed most children call adults that aren't their parents by their first name these days. None of my friend's little ones call me Mrs. Hewett, they call me Leigh. Honestly, I prefer that because I feel that Mrs. Hewett is my mother-in-law, but I wonder if a level of respect is being lost by not taking on my formal name.
I can't help but take pause when I think about the current crop of kids and wonder what the future holds for them in adulthood. We live in a world where many parents are willing stop an adult conversation to talk to their child if he or she tugs on their sleeve to ask a question. If I had tried to pull that with my dad, I would have gotten the stink eye and a serious talking to when we got home.
I'm not suggesting I'm a perfect parent. I've been known to bribe my kids so that I can have a moment of peace to talk on the phone. Yet, as my children grow and I grow as a parent, I'm finding it more important to raise my children to not have a sense of entitlement and to have respect for grown-ups.
I am redefining the rights that I grant to my boys. I know for certain they have a right to feel loved, protected, and taken care of. However, they do not have the right to interrupt adults or dictate many of the choices that we make in our home, such as what they are allowed to watch on television.
Hell, when I was a kid, we not only had little say in what we watched but we didn't even own a remote control. I had to sit on a pillow in front of the TV and actually turn a knob to flip the channels. My dad made ME be the human remote control. Kids these days have no idea how good they have it!
Do you think that children in the current generation have too many rights? What sort of rules and privileges do you give your children in your home? Please share your thoughts and experiences in the comments.

My girls call adults Miss Leigh or Miss Barbara, etc., unless they are my close friends and they don't mind being called by their first name. Makes me think everyone is living in a bordello. They started doing this because in pre-school, the teachers are Miss Frances and Miss Emily, etc. The jury is still out for me on the name thing.

I love your bordello comparison. That is too funny!
9:09 am on Wednesday, August 29, 2012
I feel bad for the generation that was raised to be seen and not heard. I think that within reason, kids should be able to express their opinion. I mean, they are people and they do have a voice. We do give choices at our house to our 2 kids but they are given age appropriate options and not for stuff that is too important. That being said, they should respect adults. That has been lost and I see it mostly in teenagers today. Great article, your memories of being a kid in the 70's made me smile.
Leigh Hewett
9:30 am on Wednesday, August 29, 2012
I agree that kids should be given choices within reason BUT I've seen some pretty demanding kids out in the world. I think that it's about balance and instilling respect for others. Also, I really want my children to appreciate the conveniences that they are afforded.
10:06 am on Wednesday, August 29, 2012
I grew up in the time that we were allowed to to have a voice, as long as it was respectful. We were not allowed to interrupt an adult conversation. Like my Dad said "if you are not bleeding, and you or no one else is hurt, or the house is not on fire, do not and I repeat DO NOT interrupt when adults are talking". I see too many parents today allow their children to do what I find is appalling. I see children hitting, screaming, demanding, and being down right rude to their parents, and the parents just stand there and take it, and allow it to happen. No form of punsihment is involved, I see it happening outside their house and inside their house. Parents don't demand respect from their children, because they want them to be their own person, they want them to be individuals. But, then they get all upset when they are misbehaving in school, and blame it on the teacher. Or they get arrested for something and the parents are still making excuses for them.
I agree that the children should have some say in the household, but not so much that they are running the house. But, they should be taught to have respect for others. If they can't have respect for themselves, then how are you going to teach them to respect others. Parents today are way to leinent, the give thier children far too much (instead of having the children EARN what they want), they don't teach their children to follow the rules. Kudos to the ones who do, and shame on you for the ones who don't.
7:22 am on Thursday, August 30, 2012
IMHO, a lack of authority FROM the parents leads to kids having zero respect FOR their parents. I recently witnessed these two instances: First, a mother is trying to give her son (12-ish) instructions when he suddenly turns away while she's in mid-sentence, starts walking away and rolls his eyes while muttering "whatever" and ignoring her demands that he return to her. The mother huffs, does nothing and lets him continue to walk away. Second, a family is unloading gear for a soccer game at the park when their son (10-ish) starts angrily shouting "Dad, where's my cell phone?...WHERE'S. MY. CELLPHONE?!?" (not even allowing his dad time to answer between questions). I hope that the father addressed his son's rude outburst at some point, but in that moment he did nothing. I couldn't help but think back to how my parents would have reacted to me in similar situations. In the first one, my mom would have marched right over to me, spun me around and made it perfectly clear that my behavior was unacceptable, would not be tolerated and that I had better listen to her. In the second one, my dad would have grabbed my cell phone, smashed it in a million pieces on the ground and said "THERE's you cell phone. Now pick it up. EVERY piece. And while you're doing that, I want you to think about how rude you were and how if you EVER act that way again, I will NOT hesitate to kick your butt up and down this parking lot." Then he would lecture me the entire time I was picking it up.

No Kid has it easy. I think if anything, they just have it different.
I have a 3 Y/O and a 3 month old, and I'm 31. to many reading this blog, I'm a "kid" and my kids are "Youngins". My 3 y/o loves to play with our kindle and do everything I do.
think about that.. a kindle.. a COLOR TELEVISION (Which wasn't around until the 60's) combined with a computer (not around until the 80's (PCs) combined with the internet (not around until the (90s) in its current form)... all in his hands.
So, I'm pretty sure he'll have wireless power and we'll figure out what actually causes gravity in his life time.

My mother used to say that challenges children face are always the same: whether to listen to their parents or their friends, learning to make friends, learning self control and developing a sense of their place in the world. The surroundings and the expectations are different generation to generation, and even year to year. I was told that while I was a star for Mama, I wasn't the only one shining in the sky, and I was not the center of the universe.

Kids who have no limits on them at home, or who are constantly "catered to" have no idea how to make it in the real world beyond home. Instant gratification has come to be the expectation for some children at home and thus outside of home. Children learn to respect themselves by first learning to respect their parents, teachers, etc. I for one hate to see parents who consistently cater to a child's every whim. I'd rather see them teach patience, respect for others, and self-respect.

Agreed! Our kids have to finish their jobs around the house in order to get their 30 minutes of daily computer time, and we don't even have TV so sometimes they get to watch a movie on the computer. No allowance, so if they want money they can choose an extra job to do from our paid jobs list. But of course, they're still kids and still push their limits every day. They act up, sometimes in public, and we don't always handle things like we should in 20/20 hindsight. We're not perfect and neither are they, but we're trying!

My opinion (and I am 60, so take it for what it's worth as I am from a different generation than today's parents) but I believe too many rights are granted that aren't really rights and not enough limits are set to make a child feel safe and secure in the world.
I think we are in trouble today with far too much of the type of parenting that puts a child in control of an entire family. I've seen it all around me, and yes, it does breed entitlement. Kids who grow up with unrealistic expectations that the world owes them a living are doomed to be disappointed.
No wonder we have so much depression and angst among our young people. They were raised to believe the world evolves around them. Quite a let down to find that it doesn't. And no coping mechanisms learned in childhood because their parents couldn't stand to interfere with their "right" to be in charge.
JMHO of course.

Leigh, I totally agree with everything you said here! I feel like we are on the same page--I am not perfect, but I do expect my children to respect adults. I think it's an important lesson for them in not making them feel ENTITLED to everything in life--even respect. Respect is earned, not granted.
I am guilty of giving in to my kids from time to time (don't we all?) but I really have tried to focus on teaching them basic and important manners directed specifically towards adults. I don't require a Ma'm and Sir but they must say, Yes PLEASE or No THANK YOU.
I love this discussion because I agree that kids are sort of being given the run of the mill these days and when you give a person the controls of the plane and they can't fly it--guess what happens to the plane? It goes DOWN.
Love your articles Leigh!!!
