How did you decide what sort of father you wanted to be?

I am about 8 weeks away from becoming a dad for the first time.
I'm nervous without being ridiculously so but am now at a point where I am thinking about what type of father I want to be and how best to facilitate that and who do I want to model my behaviour on.
I love my dad and am grateful for everything that he has done for me and provided for me during my childhood and beyond. However I can see straight away things that I want to do very differently for my child.
There was never a lot of affection in our house. Plenty of help when needed, a very stable family life, "normal" arguments between parents but there wasn't a lot of talk or vision of emotion or feelings. I guess when I was growing up that may have been par for the course in most homes.
So I guess there are things that I wish I had have had that I want to be able to give however those things are things that will necessarily come naturally to me so it will be a learning process all round.
Who apart have been your main parenting role models?

Its great that you have recognised the things that you want to do different, i would just keep those in mind. I think as you bond with your little one it will come naturally to you. My DH was also very nervous about becoming a dad as his father passed when he was very young, he never had a 'father figure' growing up and he had never had aything to do with babies/ kids before. DS is now 14 months and he is a great dad to him. He was nervous with him as a tiny baby but once he became more interactive he really relaxed and enjoyed spending time with him. The best advice i can give you is to be hands on in the early days with bathing, feeding, settling as this will help you to bond with your bubba and find your own way of parenting. Goodluck and congrats on your little one

My Dad is a calm, rational even tempered man, who thinks things through before saying or talking. Unfortunately I take after my natural father in temperament. So I use my Dad (whose been my Dad for 28 years) as my role model to temper my natural inclinations. He's been fantastic.
I think the best way to impart how your want your kids to behave emotionally is to live that way. Easier said than done, and the missus and I have certainly had moments where that hasn't happened, but I think as our girls grow older, if we show that sort of role model behavior they will feed off it.
The fact that you are thinking about these things now, and intend to act on them is great. Perfection is unattainable when it comes to bringing up kids, but positive thinking and acting in an emotionally stable environment is a great start! Enjoy yourselves, and make sure you make time for your baby and wife when they come. Mine are now 1 and 3, I was only looking back today at 7-8 mnth old photos of a baby trying to crawl around, who now walks to the door to greet me with a massive smile when I get home. I miss that crawl!

Growing up, my Dad was a night shift worker, so as I was leaving the house for school in the morning, he'd only just got home. When I got home he would be asleep, get up for tea then go to work. Also my Dad was one of 10 kids himself, so from all that affection wasn't high on his agenda. It's not that he didn't love us or care for us, but had difficulty in showing and expressing that.
That was the main thing I wanted to change for my kids. I'm fortunate in that I'm a "touchy feely" type and don't mind showing my emotions.
Things I want to emulate - his hard working ethic, honesty, loyalty.
Posted 21 March 2012 - 08:55 AM
Sadly for me... my dad taught me 1 thing... "How NOT to be a dad".
He was hardly there and I don't recall any fond memories.
My parents got divorced when I was only 11 and so was essentially raised by my mum.
I grew up wanting a family of my own and now that I have, I am driven to do everything that my dad did not. So in a way I must thank him for providing me with so much passion to do better for my own family. It's sort of like learning from someone's past mistakes I guess.
Posted 14 April 2012 - 05:04 PM
My own dad told me of this exact dilemma when he first became a dad. His father would call him "Boy" and wasn't big on affection, even to us grandkids. Dad didn't want to be like that so he raised us with lots of love and affection, sure he was firm, but it was only when required.
I love my dad to bits, and I know my son loves me (he tells me so). My father being involved in what I like, and involving me in what he likes has meant that he has earned my respect a thousand times over. I would love to think that one day my son will sit a computer and type similar things about me.
+ Be involved
+ Show love
+ Don't care what others think
+ Keep calm and carry on! (A very good saying)
+ Be prepared to sometimes be "The Tough One"
+ ...pooey nappies, sometimes you just have to get your hands dirty (there is soap for a reason)
Remember that children learn from copying you, watch your language, anticipate needs rather than wants, and finally, enjoy...

Amazing Depth, the best management sim around, BEWARE, you have to be die hard to get the most out of this game.
Championship Manager let's you step into the manager's shoes and you control every aspect of the club, overlooked of course, by the board. CM4 is simply amazing because of its detail. For example, when you make yourself a manager, you have to make a profile, and this includes your favourite football team, your age and country of origin. It is the equivalent of Oblivion when it comes personalising your character.
CM4 has many leagues that I didn't know even existed, it contains players from U-19's level, and has full profiles for them, you are simply astounded by the quality and volume of details in this game.
You can overlook this all via your managers desk, which tells you reactions to your transfer bids (you even have to deal with the press, and you eventually learn why managers hate them), the happiness of your own players, and of course the boards happiness. If the boards not happy simply my friend, you are screwed.
The great thing about CM4 is how free you are, how you can take risks, and also the feeling. He feeling when your team wins the league or get's promoted, it's simply marvellous.
The in game system is amazing, it normally uses sentences to display what is happening, however when your team tries a tactical move (which you can nurture on the training ground, via the training mode) it will go into a 2d view with little dots as your players, once again simple, effective and gripping. Hell, you even control the people who train your players. The simple fact is CM4 is what Halo is to FPS's, what Pro Evo is to footie games, it's what MGS is to the stealth action genre. You cannot own a PC without this. That said you will only really enjoy it if ou are a true fan of the "beautiful game", I know many people who don't like football but love PES, this would not work for CM4
In total Cm4 is a great game which has took the genre "management sim" to a whole new level.

FCW Forum | Social media
Lately, there has been a lot of buzz about social media technologies in Washington. Web 2.0 technologies such as WordPress, Twitter and Qik are taking communications and personal interactions into new realms. But one local trend in the field of social software has largely escaped the notice of the national media: the rise of the goverati.
Who are the goverati, you might ask -- and are you among them? Goverati is a term I coined a few weeks ago while participating in a Social Media Club DC discussion panel. In essence, the goverati are people familiar with government and how it works and who understand new social technologies. They want to network with one another to foster an increasingly transparent, participatory and collaborative government.
President Barack Obama recently issued a memo that challenges the government to accomplish the latter goal during his tenure. Because Web 2.0 tools have empowered people to communicate with one another in a more efficient and open manner, people are demanding that access of their government, too. The good news is that it's happening. Social software will be part of an overall strategy involving the still-to-be-named national chief technology officer, the Office of Management and Budget and the General Services Administration. In addition, the White House's director of new media, Macon Phillips, will no doubt advise the president on progress, push the process along and keep it smartly informed.
Just as the goverati are pushing for a more transparent, participatory and collaborative government, they are simultaneously using the social software they are passionate about to network with one another to become a collective force more powerful than the sum of its individual parts. For instance, a Homeland Security Department employee developed an informal social network called GovLoop in his spare time, and in a few months, membership surged to more than 5,000 members. Intelink, the intelligence community's secure network for exchanging information, is awash in blogs and other communications on relevant topics. And the goverati can be found networking on just about every commercial tool out there, including business network LinkedIn, Facebook and other Web sites.
The movement isn't limited to Generation Y staff members, college interns and geeky slackers. The former secretary of the Health and Human Services Department published a blog about the flu. The Coast Guard's commandant uses YouTube and Facebook. And the movement isn't limited to Washington insiders, either: Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist, talked about the need for open government during a recent panel discussion.
Goverati also use their social networks to plan informal events that help them exchange ideas and bring new people into the fold. One such upcoming event is Government 2.0 Camp in Washington March 27–28, when people from government, academia and industry will share information, form new collaborations, and discuss a future transparent, participatory and collaborative government of, by, for and with the people. There is still time for you to join the ranks of the goverati.

I agree with this comment, but feel like its refreshing and hopeful that its cool to be part of the government again. I'm not sure I'm a goverati, but I'm getting increasingly drawn into the surge of activity here, and hope that I can contribute along with the many motivated, innovative folks I've met who are running forward.
Mark, the term "goverati" has sort of an elitist feel to me, but maybe that's just me. I highly agree with this statement: "They want to network with one another to foster an increasingly transparent, participatory and collaborative government." Those of us using social networks to advance positive culture change in gov have a lot of work to do. Thanks for highlighting these efforts!

Oct 16, 2012, 6:39 AM EST
The Tigers are up 2-0 in the ALCS. They are back home in Detroit. The Yankees offense is sending scribes to the thesaurus to find new words to describe their anemic offense ( feeble, infirm, pallid, sickly, wan, impotent, debilitated, decrepit, enervated, faint, flaccid, forceless, frail, impuissant). And, oh yeah, Justin Verlander is on the mound…

Ryan Vogelsong retired David Freese and Daniel Descalso to begin the top of the second inning, but he paid dearly for issuing a two-out walk to Pete Kozma. Chris Carpenter — yes, Chris Carpenter — followed by doubling into the left-center field gap to score Kozma and tie the game at 1-1. Carpenter went 2-for-3…

Umpire admits bad call, Joe Girardi calls for more replay

Umpire Jeff Nelson admitted after Sunday's game that he botched the call at second base that aided the Tigers in a two-run eighth inning against the Yankees. Omar Infante was attempting to return to the bag after rounding second on a single, but he was clearly tagged out by Robinson Cano on the play. Nelson…
Jeff Nelson made one of the worst safe calls you'll ever see
Oct 14, 2012, 7:49 PM EST
My belief isn't that we need more instant replay in baseball because umpire's are incompetent. My belief is that it's needed because a lot of things happen in baseball that are way too tough to call at normal speed. This, however, was not one of those plays. In the eighth inning of Sunday's ALCS Game…
Anibal Sanchez dominates, Yankees sleepwalk through loss to Tigers in Game 2 of ALCS

Tigers starter Anibal Sanchez yielded just three hits over seven shutout innings and third baseman Miguel Cabrera went 2-for-4 with an RBI as the Tigers rolled to a far-too-easy 3-0 victory over the Yankees on Sunday evening in Game 2 of the ALCS. Yankees fans might choose to pout about a blown call at second…

The two Great Bend men injured in the pedicab accident in Scottsdale, Ariz., following the Fiesta Bowl still face a long recovery, but one of the 21 year olds has returned to Great Bend.
Regardless of where they stand politically, Barton County residents are undoubtedly of the same mind as many Americans which it comes to Congress. Some see the ultra-conservative wave that washed over Washington, D.C., or the more liberal slant in the White House as good things. Some see these movements as being the cause of the intransigence. Still, others, see them as the cause for all that ills this nation.
The Great Bend City Council has entered a minefield. Council members must now take care where they step.
There will be a double celebration at the Great Bend Senior Center Saturday, Feb. 2.
At Monday night's Great Bend City Council meeting, City Administrator Howard Partington gave an update on the activities of various city departments in the past couple weeks. Below is a summary of some of the highlights.
There has been a lot going on at the county level, Barton County Administrator Richard Boeckman told the County Commission Tuesday morning. He gave his regular bi-weekly recap of activities.
The deadline for candidates to file for the April 6 general election was noon Tuesday, and the Barton County Clerk's office has released those who had tossed their hats into the ring.
After five months, United Way of Central Kansas has met it's $235,000 goal for the 2013 campaign, said UWCK Executive Director Julie Bugner Smith Wednesday afternoon.
A new joint project between the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism and the Kansas Department of Motor Vehicles to increase the number of folks getting park permits is in place. All that remains is to teach county treasurers across the state how to use the computer software.
HOISINGTON – The investigation continues into the apparent murder/suicide Tuesday night that left two rural Barton County residents dead at a farm residence about seven miles northeast of Hoisington, the Barton County Sheriff's Office reported Wednesday.
The consensus of the special Great Bend City Council meeting Tuesday night to discuss the beleaguered Convention Center was that the center needed major improvements. It was also feared that the existing attached hotel placed a drag on facility.
Dale Phillips wants to make Barton County a cleaner place. The County Commission agreed, approving Tuesday morning his plan to establish a county-wide Adopt-a-Highway program.
The Barton County Commission Tuesday morning approved a lease agreement with retired teacher Terry Nech of Hoisington that will allow him to develop a wildlife habitat on county-owned land in what is known as South Hoisington.
It was a year of upheaval for the Barton County Soil Conservation District, and this was evident when the district held its 66th-annual meeting Saturday night at the Barton Community College Student Union.
Monday was Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Sure, banks and some government offices were closed. But, besides that, what does it mean?
The Barton County Appraiser's Office is starting the 2015 final review process. This is a process where appraisals for the Jan. 1, 2015 values are set, said County Appraiser Barb Estes.
MANHATTAN – Kansans aren't talkin' turkey like they used to.
There is Thanksgiving to give thanks.
There were a lot of factors to weigh when it came to the tons of sand Barton County uses for road maintenance, the decision to purchase a new dredge or the continued buying of sand from a private vendor.
We have a lot of blessings to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. There are gas prices that are among the lowest in the country and an economy that is showing signs of recovery.
For years now, Barton County has benefited from state dollars that have helped keep the county's infrastructure in tip-top shape. A big part of that success can be attributed to County Engineer Clark Rusco, County Administrator Richard Boeckman said Monday morning.
The possibility that the State of Kansas could rob highway project funds to solve the state's fiscal crisis has come up at recent Barton County Commission meetings. Local officials are worried about work that is promised to the area but that now may be delayed if not cancelled.
Encouraged by the lowest gas prices in recent memory and a brighter economic outlook, the number of those going over the river and through the woods this Thanksgiving weekend will be the highest in several years.
It is a sign of the times.
Great Bend motorists and bicycle enthusiasts will begin to notice some new traffic signs and markings around Great Bend. The installation of bicycle awareness signs started Friday afternoon and the painting of sharrows started Tuesday, all of which should be done by today.
It's been a busy year at the historic Great Bend Drag Strip said Hank Denning, president of the Sunflower Rod and Custom Association. He gave his annual report on the activities at the track during the City Council meeting Monday night.
Barton County commissioners who attended the Kansas Association of Counties annual meeting in Wichita last week came away with two overall impressions. First, the State of Kansas is in dismal financial straits, and second, Barton County is in good shape compared to most of its 105 peers counties.
On Friday, Great Bend Street Department personnel began installing bicycle awareness signs along what will become the city's first bike route. It follows 19th Street west to McKinley and McKinley south to the Sports Complex.

"An intriguing read for the digital generation." Kirkus "This first book in the Mortality Doctrine series from Maze Runner author Dashner offers an irresistible premise" Publishers Weekly "Dashner once again creates a dystopian world in which nothing is what it seems" Voya "In typical Dashner style, this is quick and involving, with the main frustration being the wait time until the next book."

Call me paranoid but sometimes I feel like the world is conspiring against me, just waiting to implode at the least inconvenient moment. Ever feel the same? Here's my list of the top parenting paranoia...
TV Paranoia
- Mr Tumble is plotting world domination. The fact his game on the Cbeebies Ap is IMPOSSIBLE to exit is the only evidence you need.
- CBeebies Bed Time Hour gets longer every night. You swear.
Discipline Paranoia
- Tweet: Everyone knows your stern voice is a fraud
- While you're wrestling a child into the car seat - that old biddy in the neighbouring spot is calling the NSPCC
- No you're not imagining it - that cuddly toy is looking at you funny when you try to be serious
- Supermarkets have been specifically designed to make it impossible to avoid the bakery, biscuits and sweets aisles
- Everyone knows your kids have fish fingers and beans for tea 4 times a week
- Cheerios are indestructible; they're the cockroaches of the cereal world - just waiting for an apocalypse to re-populate the planet.
|Cheerios: the cockroaches of the cereal world
Sleep Paranoia
- Sleeping children aren't really sleeping. They're lying with their eyes closed waiting for you to get comfy in front of Homeland so they can lose their dummy/ fall out of bed/ have a bad dream
- Speaking of dummies - you're convinced they grow legs and hatch escape plots. How else can you explain how they AWOL every two seconds?
- On a good night, you're convinced the monitor isn't working
- After a bad night, the kids can smell your tiredness. And it triggers infant insomnia.
- The neighbours have the council on speed dial and are reporting you for noise pollution. AGAIN.
- Silence. There's something very sinister about it.
- Your baby's learning-to-walk bruises are bigger and brighter than everyone else's
- The kids wait till your partner is away to get sick.
- A rash of any form is the stuff of A&E. You don't care what the G.P says.
- Tweet: Did you leave the hair straighteners on? 99% no, but that 1% of doubt makes it worth turning the car around, thus proving your paranoia and pissing off all passengers concerned.
Happy obsessing all!

Correa backhouseana
Australian Fuchsia
Evergreen, Shrubs
These Australian natives may resemble fuchsia in their flower form, but in all other ways they are far from fuchsialike. Plants range from low growing to tall, are usually dense and spreading. Roundish, 1-in. leaves, densely felted underneath; gray or gray-green color contrasts subtly with other grays, distinctly with dark greens. All are valued for their long flowering season, usually late fall into spring. Small (1/2–3/4-in.) flowers hang from branches like little bells; they are individually handsome but not showy.
Need fast drainage; do well in poor, rocky soil. Easy to kill with kindness (overwatering, overfertilizing). Should not get reflected heat from wall or pavement. Use as a groundcover on banks or slopes. Attractive in large pots placed where flowers can be enjoyed close up.Correa backhouseana
Upright and rather sprawling growth to 4–5 ft. tall and wide. Pale cream or yellow to chartreuse flowers. More successful in Southern California than C. pulchella. Often sold as C. magnifica.
Evergreen from southwestern Australia. Thick rootstocks send up fans of dark green, swordlike leaves a...

"Great mission and public impact, not the best for career growth. "

- Senior Management
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at NSF International full-timePros
The company has a great mission and rewarding public impact. The amount of paid-time off is nice and there are many enjoyable people to work with.Cons
There are a lot of managers and not enough people doing the actual work. People are often expected to meet deadlines and heavy workloads without adequate staffing and space. NSF is also quick to give up on programs that are not making enough money. It's supposed to be a not-for-profit company but profits and growth are seemingly very important to the senior management. In the laboratory area, there is limited opportunity for career growth. Promotions can be quite difficult to obtain even after sending years earning them.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Talk to the people at the bottom of the ladder. Note the differences between the business and laboratory sides of the company (for instance, lower pay and higher workload in the labs). Growth can compromise quality!Positive OutlookApproves of CEO

"All I know is, this Lo Pan character comes out of thin air in the middle of a goddamn alley while his buddies are flying around on wires cutting everybody to shreds, and he just stands there waiting for me to drive my truck straight through him with light coming out of his mouth!"Big Trouble In Little China is one of John Carpenter's greatest films, written by W.D. Richter and released in 1986.Kurt Russell is Jack Burton, a long-haul trucker with a penchant for making soliloquies over the CB. He's in San Francisco's Chinatown to meet his buddy Wang Chi (Dennis Dun) and pick up Wang's fiancee Miao Yin (Suzee Pai) from the airport, but David Lo Pan (James Hong) kidnaps her with the help of his Wing Kong street gang and the Three Storms.Jack, Wang, lawyer Gracie Law (Kim Cattrall), tour bus driver Egg Shen (Victor Wong), and the Chang Sing street gang join forces to rescue Miao Yin from the deathless Lo Pan, but Jack's really in it to get his truck back.Subverts a few tropes of the action hero genre. Most notably, as stated by both Carpenter and Russell in the DVD commentary: "This is a movie about a guy who thinks he's the Action Hero when he's really the comic sidekick."The story continues in the Big Trouble in Little China comic series by BOOM! Studios, the first issue of which arrived on June 4th, 2014.Don't confuse this with Chinatown. Hilarity will not ensue.

SMETHPORT – There were tense moments Wednesday morning after a call to the 911 center reported a bomb had been planted in the McKean County Courthouse in Smethport.
In a fitting tribute honoring fallen firefighter Blaine E. "Skeeter" Wildnauer, Jr., of Kersey, a solemn procession was held Wednesday morning which included dozens of fire departments from four counties.
Wildnauer, 58, died Saturday morning in the line of duty while responding to a traffic crash on the Old Kersey Road. A lifelong resident of the area, Wildnauer dedicated 40 years of service to the Fox Township Volunteer Fire Department.
Kane's First United Methodist Church will host their annual Tribute to Veterans on Sunday, Nov. 10 at 11 a.m.
Sunday's program is entitled, "Our Heroes and the Pride of America" and will have an added focus on veterans from the Korean Conflict. According to long-time event coordinator Colleen Lundeen, the tribute will honor all veterans, families of current servicemen and women and the families of those who have lost their lives while in the service of our country.
Three write-in candidates apparently have won election to seats on the Kane School Board.
According to unofficial results from the election Tuesday, it appears Claire Ann Depto, Susan Grolemund and Linda A. Anderson all have won as write-in candidates. John Ball, who was endorsed by the three write-ins, also won a fourth seat on the board.
The Wetmore Township Board of Supervisors again will hold the line on taxes.
MT. JEWETT – Four incumbents on the Mt. Jewett Borough Council won re-election Tuesday, according to final, but unofficial results.
Newcomer Gary Schul won election Tuesday to a seat on the Kane Borough Council along with two incumbents-- Dennis Drost and John Gentilman.
Schul, who won both the Republican and Democratic nominations in the primary, led voting Tuesday with 648 votes. Gentilman, a Democrat, was next with 484. Drost, also a Democrat, received 447.
JAMES CITY – Jim Wolfe and write-in candidate Joe Milstead are the apparent winners for supervisor in Highland Township.
LANTZ CORNERS – A fast-moving fire early Monday morning destroyed the Jason Rankin residence at 9261 Route 6 in Hamlin Township.
No injuries were reported, according to Dan "Beans" Gustafson, chief of the Mt. Jewett Volunteer Fire Department.
MT. JEWETT – The proposed 2014 budget for Mt. Jewett is still a work in progress. Rather than act Monday to adopt a tentative spending plan for next year, the Mt. Jewett Borough Council scheduled a "work session" to discuss the budget.
