Big crowds enjoyed all the fun of the Georgian Fair
Last updated at 20:30, Thursday, 10 May 2012
Thousands of people turned out for Cockermouth's Georgian Fair to enjoy everything from maypole dancing to sedan chair racing.
For the first time, the fair ran from Thursday to Sunday with events held in Christ Church before the main event on Saturday.
Cockermouth Mechanics Band played Georgian tunes in the Market Place while dance and music band Regency Rejigged performed for the crowds.
The band, from Lancashire and Cheshire, was formed because of the Georgian Fair and it was its third visit to the festival.
There was also maypole dancing in Bitterbeck car park by Broughton and Brigham Brownies and pupils from All Saints School.
Some of the acts that attracted the biggest crowds were the Redcoat displays and performances from the Fairly Famous Family, Swash and Buckle and Martiny's Magic.
There were also discovery walks around the town, a guided tour round Cockermouth Castle and Georgian cookery demonstrations by celebrity chefs John Crouch and Annette Gibbons in the United Reformed Church.
A dance showcase took place in Bitterbeck car park, followed by the costumed parade that went through the town to the Memorial Gardens.
Large crowds gathered to watch the Redcoat musket firing, followed by the Sedan Chair Racing, won by the Ye Olde M-Sport team.
Paul Robinson, 40, of Riverdale Drive, was one of the volunteers who was picked out to help with the Fairly Famous Family routine.
He watched it with his children Iona, five and Harry, three.
He said: "We have been in the town and seen it flooded and it is terrific to walk through it now, see it all with people dressed in all the different outfits.
"It is good for the town which is why we support it.
Mark Skidmore, 41, of St Helens Street, came with his children Anna, 10, Emily, eight, Matthew, five and Beth, three.
He said: "It has been lovely and a great event.
"We have always enjoyed the sedan chair racing and it has been nice to have some good weather.
"It has also allowed the family the chance to dress up as well."
Ian Allison, 53, of Brigham Road, was attending his first Georgian Fair after moving to Cockermouth in August and came with his son Harris Pollitt, 10. He said: "We have just been walking round and enjoying the day."
The fair was opened by mayor Christine Smith and fair patrons Lord and Lady Judd.
Lord Judd said: "There has been a very committed band of people who realise how important this can be in the life of Cockermouth.
"They are determined to make it a success and a tremendous amount of work has gone into it.
"Two years ago after the devastating floods the fair went ahead and it was a resounding success nationally and internationally.
"It showed the determination of people to fight back and has established the event more strongly in the future than it was before the floods.
"It is tremendous and special when you look around Cockermouth and the Georgian character is there and we are preserving it for the future in our very special town.
"Hopefully it will be long established in the life of Cockermouth."
The fair was brought to a close by the finale at All Saints Church.
The concert also featured The Castlegate Singers, Piping Hot and Yann Tan young folk group.

Unless otherwise stated, portfolio facts and statistics are shown for Class A shares; other classes may have different characteristics.
†NAV: Unless you are eligible for a waiver, the public offering price you pay when you buy Class A shares of the Fund is the Net Asset Value (NAV) of the shares plus an initial sales charge. The initial sales charge varies depending upon the size of your purchase. No sales charge is imposed where Class A or Class C shares are issued to you pursuant to the automatic investment of income dividends or capital gains distributions. It is the responsibility of the financial intermediary to ensure that the investor obtains the proper "breakpoint" discount. Class C, Class I and Class Y do not have an initial sales charge; however, Class C does charge a contingent deferred redemption charge. See the prospectus and summary prospectus for more information.

I am a board-certified radiation oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering's regional care facility in Commack, Long Island. My goal is to deliver state-of- the-art care to cancer patients who wish to be treated close to their homes on Long Island, and I frequently collaborate with colleagues in medical oncology, radiology, and surgery both in Commack and at the Center's main campus in Manhattan to ensure that patients receive optimal care. While I have extensive experience treating prostate and breast cancers, I treat a wide variety of cancers.
My main interest and expertise is in treating patients using radiation therapy approaches that effectively treat tumors while limiting side effects. These approaches include intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), both of which enable me to target the radiation dose to the tumor and minimize its effects on the surrounding tissues.
I am also able to offer patients enrollment in clinical trials both here in Commack and at Memorial Sloan- Kettering in Manhattan.

Penn Museum Series Complements One Day in Pompeii Special Exhibition at The Franklin Institute
PHILADELPHIA, PA 2013—Ancient Pompeiians failed to recognize the warning signs of their famous entry into history. Perhaps the residents' libertine life of lavish dinner parties, evocative frescoes and raucous sex in this Early Imperial Roman town distracted them from noticing violent earth tremors as early as three days before Mt. Vesuvius' catastrophic eruption on August 24, 79 CE.
Beginning October 20, the Penn Museum invites the public to delve into the sordid, the scientific, and the surviving details of this ancient city with the Pompeii Lecture Series, a four-part series presented on select Sunday afternoons in conjunction with the Franklin Institute's special exhibition One Day in Pompeii (November 9, 2013 through April 27, 2014). Acclaimed presenters include Penn Environmental Science Professor Emeritus Dr. Robert Giegengack, Penn Museum Associate Curator Dr. Janet Monge, Penn Art History Lecturer Victoria Coates, and Penn Museum Curator Dr. Brian Rose.

Penn Museum's Innovative "Touch Tours" Ancient Egyptian Culture Program,
Designed with and for Visitors with Blindness or Low Vision,
Expands in its Second Season
"This tour provided the chance of a life time to get up close to some fantastic objects that the ancient Egyptians regarded as commonplace. Not many people, either sighted or visually impaired, would ever have the opportunity to place their hands where craftsmen's hands toiled thousands of years ago."
-—2012 Touch Tours visitor Rita Lang, Manager of Innovative Programs and Volunteers, Center for Vision Loss, Lehigh Valley, PA
PHILADELPHIA, PA 2013—Following a successful pilot season in the fall of 2012, the "Insights into Ancient Egypt" Touch Tours program at the Penn Museum in Philadelphia, designed with and for Museum visitors who are blind or have low vision, is expanding, thanks to extensive input and feedback from members of the community.
The second season of the "Insights into Ancient Egypt" Touch Tour program begins Monday, September 30, with longer visits and a host of innovative changes. The program expands from one to two hours, as guests are invited to discover ancient Egyptian culture through a new classroom learning experience, with tactile diagrams, through connections with both long-time Museum docents and new assistant docents with visual impairment, and through new opportunities for artistic expression. The central gallery experience—exploring through touch several ancient Egyptian artifacts on display—continues with new pieces and specially made replicas.
Trish Maunder, Project Coordinator for Special Tours and a disabilities program consultant for the Museum, worked with Egyptian section Associate Curator Jennifer Wegner, the Museum's Community Engagement Department, and many volunteer Museum docents to develop the program and its expanded offerings. Through focus groups and feedback from low and no-vision guests, she learned that participants wanted more information, educational opportunities, and even outlets for artistic expression—all included in this season's offerings.

The Penn Museum in Philadelphia Celebrates 100 Years with the Largest Ancient Egyptian Sphinx
in the Western Hemisphere
PHILADELPHIA, PA 2013—It came by boat, arriving in Philadelphia in October 1913—an ancient Egyptian Sphinx from Memphis, Egypt, excavated by renowned archaeologist Sir Flinders Petrie and presented to the Penn Museum on the University of Pennsylvania campus. Extraordinary by any measure, the Sphinx was carved from one massive piece of red granite, bearing the names of the great Pharaoh Ramesses II, and his son and successor, the Pharaoh Merenptah, both of whom reigned during Egypt's 19th Dynasty (1292–1190 BCE).
From Gallery Romps (for ages 3 to 6 and their parents or chaperones), to Second Sunday Family Workshops (drop-ins welcome, suitable for ages 5 and older), from 40 Winks with the Sphinx Sleepovers (ages 6 to 12 and their chaperones), to World Culture Days and Afternoons (fun for all ages), Penn Museum offers families age-appropriate programs to inspire, educate and enjoy.

When choosing a kitchen company it is wise to find out from past customers what there work is like.
Usually the company will have a list of satisfied customers for you to contact, if they give you a few numbers to ring make sure to ask the right questions!
for instance choosing a bespoke kitchen will help you by dealing with kitchen companies in your area will be more inclined to help with your kitchen design!
Consider your limitations. When you are ready for a new kitchen area or your first cooking area, it is very important that you review what you wish to utilize the kitchen area for as part of your total home.
Ask yourself exactly what you want to perform in the kitchen area. Do you require a seating location? Will the kitchen area double as an office? Does it require to be kid friendly? Will you entertain visitors in the kitchen? Do you do a great deal of cooking/baking? The amount of time will you be spending in the kitchen? All these things and even more will have to be considered when preparing the layout of the cooking area.
Lay out your concepts in a virtual space organizer. Ikea, Armstrong, Merillat, Kraftmade, and many various other companies have online programs in which you can play around with various kitchen area designs.
Build the kitchen or have somebody do it for you. Numerous companies renovate or build kitchen areas for a low price. Consider doing this yourself if your tight on money.
Mark where the stop tap and any customer meters are (this avoids putting a home appliance or system with a home appliance in front of where you will what to access these.
Next stage in next publishing
Also mark any thing else that you believe is very important and may effect you make layout.
When you have all this see to it you re examine all the measurements again, it will save you a great deal of time and money later.
Now is the time to look into your neighborhood Cooking area providers and ask the questions.
Are they well established and trustworthy?
Mark where the light switches are to prevent covering these if you are not prepared or able to alter the electrics.
Have a look at where the gas supply is. If you plan to fit gas devices and have a solid floor this could be difficult to relocate.
Draw a strategy of the kitchen location and make sure you mark where the doors and windows are and how high they are.
Do they supply true made to measure cooking area furniture, for example Carcase made and made to order and supplied as rigid facilities? (Some providers will declare to supply bespoke furnishings and will then pre-assembled flat pack units).
Do not attempt to modify any electrical wiring or gas connections unless you are certified to do so. These are jobs for professionals and in many cases you might break neighborhood planning regs.
Be careful of business marketing huge price cuts if you register instantly as typically the the released rate is synthetically pumped up for a brief duration to satisfy consumer trading standards.
Prior to you alter the sink waste see to it that the waste water is connected to the proper waste system. I have actually seen where the sink waste has actually been linked to the commode waste system by a Do It Yourself operator


text: Wilson tells senators he would not enforce billCalifornia lawmakers took their first step toward moving a package of gun control bills Tuesday, following tough firearm and ammunition restrictions enacted in several other states in the wake of recent shooting rampages. As dozens of supporters and opponents — including Del Norte County Sheriff Dean Wilson — packed the Senate Public Safety Committee room for a daylong hearing, Democrats in the state Senate began to use their majority to advance a group of seven bills that would further tighten California's strict gun laws. The measures were approved on 5-2 party-line votes over Republicans' objections Tuesday night, and they now will be considered by a second Senate committee. Wilson told lawmakers he would not enforce weapons restriction laws he deemed unconstitutional, specifically SB 374, which would change the classification of an assault weapon to include semiautomatic rifles that do not have a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept 10 rounds or fewer and force anyone who owned one since 2001 to register the weapon or face criminal charges.

With less than two weeks until PHA's Path to a Cure Mt. Kilimanjaro climbers (Drs. Benza and Frantz, with Jessica Lazar, PA-C) depart for Africa, our community's support is in full swing! On January 29, the first of more than one dozen Unity Walk events was held at Allegheny General Hospital (AGH).
Hosted by the Pittsburgh PH Support Group, Dr. Benza, Jessica, and the team at AGH's Gerald McGinnis Cardiovascular Institute, the symbolic walk raised more than $3,250 toward the climbers' fundraising goal of $100,000 for PH research and services. To date, the Path to a Cure campaign has raised more than $90,000, thanks to a dollar-for-dollar Path to a Cure Matching Fund sponsored by Actelion.
Patients and caregivers in attendance had the unique opportunity to tour the Institute's basic science research facilities, participate in a prize and gift basket raffle, and engage in a Q&A session about the upcoming climb with Jessica, who also acts as the Institute's Director of Quality, Research and Education.
According to Pittsburgh PH Support Group co-leader and Unity Walk co-organizer Merle Reeseman, support group members and others in attendance had the opportunity to learn from Jessica about the challenges the climbers will face on their journey, including strategies for acclimatizing as they trek, altitude sickness, and significantly lowered oxygen levels they will experience at the mountain's summit.
The Unity Walk also underscored the similarities between the breathlessness Drs. Benza and Frantz and Jessica will experience atop Mount Kilimanjaro, and the everyday experiences of PH patients. A recent widower donated his wife's lightweight pulse oximeter to the climbers' cause so that they can document and report their oxygen saturation at the summit to the PH community. Says Jessica of this poignant moment: "There was enough generosity and inspiration in that room to move a mountain … or at least, to climb one."
After what she describes as an "awesome event and such a very special day," Merle said that she is so proud of the climbers, as they are not climbing a mountain just for their own patients, but "for all those PH patients in the PH community." Merle Reeseman Merle, who is also a PH patient, shared a first-hand account of her own experiences during the Jan. 29 Unity Walk at Allegheny General Hospital.

It's always sad to see controversy in the SEO industry, but in this young industry, controversy creates change.
New members of the community seem to show up daily and they will bring new and different ideas to the industry and it's all of our responsibilities to uphold the values that we want to be associated with being an "SEO".
I respect the way you've handled this situation and I also respect the industry for voicing their dislike of comments/values/statements that hurt the industry.
The SEO industry is evolving and changing, and there are growing pains, but there are also chances to stand up for the industry's values.
I've stayed out of this whole discussion (I'm too busy doing SEO!) but I do recognize a respectable stance, thanks for protecting the values of our industry.
Scott Fish
Great topic for a post Rand!
So I haven't read through all the comments, but i wanted to note that content can be written in a way so that you cover many of the permutations of a keyword.
For instance, "Cha Taquria has been voted a top seattle restaurant. Reviews of our cusinse have been featured in..."
This accomplishes placing variations throughout content while maintaining readability, in this case "Seattle restaurant reviews" is used.
Interesting post - I do think that you're right that as we gain more knowledge we tend to close up and keep those successes to ourselves.
I also think that your 10% number is actually closer to 30 or 35 % simply because if you think about all the things that people now consider "SEO" vs. 3 years ago, that's quite a large amount of SEO: social media, blog, press releases, travel engines, content dev. etc. I remember back in the day seeing Rand inquire about keyword density issues, now-adays a beginning may be inquiring about 301 redirects and cloaking issues.
I think the type of "SEO knowledg" has changed and has gotten much broader.
These look really nice!
I've found that the best footers provide the answer to "what now?"
While it's busy, I love this one - It's rich in content and provides nice "eye candy".
- Scott Fish
Since you gave me a semi-shout out ( :) ) I'll mention that that satellite radio site that you're referring to was my first big SEO project, and one that I have learned a lot about SEO from.
Given that, my advice would be to branch out and tackle niche's that you wouldn't normally compete i. I have learned so much about geo-targeting and mobile seo lately, and those lessons have stemmed from building sites about topics that I wouldn't normally build about. If you find a technique that works in one category, most likely it will work across the board.
Also, don't be afraid to outsource. Do what you do best, if it's link building, then outsource your content of vice-versa.
And my last piece of advice is that if you want to be seen as an authority, then BE THE AUTHORITY. I have given interviews to USA Today, Investors Business Journal and many other regional publications. Doing activities like this will dramatically increase your rankings in the SEs.
Good luck...

Excerpted from I Don't Know How She Does It by Allison Pearson. Copyright © 2002 by Allison Pearson. Excerpted by permission of Anchor, a division of Random House LLC. All rights reserved. No part of this excerpt may be reproduced or reprinted without permission in writing from the publisher.
Allison Pearson, an award-winning journalist and author, is a staff writer for the London Daily Telegraph. Her first novel, I Don't Know How She Does It, became an international bestseller and was translated into thirty-two languages. It is now a major motion picture, adapted by Aline Brosh McKenna and starring Sarah Jessica Parker. Her most recent novel, I Think I Love You, is set to become a stage musical. Allison has given inspirational speeches around the world on women's issues and she can be contacted via her website www.allisonpearson.co.uk. She is a patron of Camfed, a charity that supports the education of more than a million African girls (www.camfed.org). Pearson lives in Cambridge with her husband and their two children.
Q: This is your first novel. What made you decide to write it?
A: I read a Stress Survey in Good Housekeeping magazine two years ago. It said that all that most working women wanted for Mother's Day was a bit of time to themselves. It also said they were too tired to have sex with their husbands and felt they were failing both at work and as a parent. I thought about my life and the lives of my friends with young children and I realized we were all being driven crazy by the pressure we were under juggling work and family. I thought it was a great subject - borderline farce, but full of incredibly poignant moments as you find yourself torn between responsibility to your children and the office. I wrote an article about working mothers in my opinion column in the London Evening Standard and I got literally hundreds of letters from women, all saying: That's My Life! It felt as though I'd opened a small door onto a parallel world and on the other side was this huge amount of unacknowledged feeling.
Then, I attended a discussion on work-life balance at the London Business School and the professional women in the room started to share their stories. One lawyer stood up and said she had intercepted a memo from a senior partner in her firm which said: "Why does childbirth have to take so long?" The room erupted and I heard this dark, bitter laugh in my own head. It was Kate Reddy laughing. She didn't have a name back then, but I knew she had a terrific sense of humour. Soon after, I began a weekly column in the London Daily Telegraph describing Kate's adventures at work and at home. I'd like to say that I created her, but very soon she took over and wrote me, rather than me writing her!
Q: A new book about fertility and working mothers has startled American women making the cover of Time magazine this spring. (It is called, CREATING A LIFE: Professional Women and the Quest for Children by Sylvia Ann Hewlett.) Is it surprising to you that women might "miss" the chance to have children because they are so preoccupied with career-success?
A: It doesn't surprise me at all. The mothers I interviewed when I was researching my book all said that in order to be successful in their careers, they needed to hide the fact that they had kids – one woman actually said her firm would be more forgiving if you were caught in possession of crack cocaine than children! Most of the women went to great lengths to hide the fact they had kids – never displaying photographs, never mentioning any childcare problems, always making a Man's Excuse if they were late – ie, trouble with the car or the traffic rather than a sick baby.
Because the corporate culture is hostile to mothers who are deemed to Lack Commitment, there is no good time for a young ambitious person to have a baby so she postpones it and postpones it, always thinking it might get easier later on and it never does, and then it's too late, which I think is a tragedy. One of the themes of I Don't Know How She Does It is the miraculous love that babies bring with them, how they change your heart. The idea that women have missed out on that miracle because they felt that their employers wouldn't tolerate it makes me feel incredibly sad.
Q: What do you recommend to working mothers who for financial or personal reasons want it all – to move up the corporate ladder AND have hands on care of their children?
A: I think that many mothers who work need to work – either for personal fulfillment or just to pay all those bills! But I don't think that you can move up the corporate ladder and have hands-on care of the children – how can you? With the long hours demanded, you will be lucky if you make it home for bath – and bedtime. Most of the women I spoke to favoured some kind of flexible working where they could be home more and then work, often late into the night. I only wish that more businesses felt they could let women do that – it would be productive for all concerned. And humane too!
Q: It seems that you think that women are better at juggling or multi-tasking than men. Why do you think that is?
A: As Kate says, "Life is a road for a man, for women it's a map." I think we're wired differently. If you give your husband more then three things to remember, in general, the smoke will start coming out of his ears! I guess it must be something to do with Early Woman being a gatherer – needing to go out and pick berries while keeping an ear out for the children and planning what they're going to have for that Cave Party a week from Tuesday. Men hunted, women gathered: I think that's why they can cut everything out except the task in hand and we find that hard.
Q: Is it possible to have two high-powered working parents in one family?
A: Well, we have two in our house, so it's certainly possible, although definitely not easy! There are times when you are both insanely busy and the household is pushed to snapping point. It's usually over something small, like why didn't someone else notice we were out of kitchen towel or loo paper? What you need is really good childcare. As many of us now live far from our families, we can't call on that great network of grandmas and aunts that would feel so much better than handing over your baby to a comparative stranger. I believe there comes a point when one person – it's usually the woman – has to scale back her commitments. Not being able to make a home because there's no time can feel frustrating and painful. You want to do it as well as your own Mum did!
Q: After all these years of a "women's movement," and the implementation of laws regarding sexual harassment, do you think workplaces are still sexist environments?
A: Obviously, things are much better than they were, but Kate Reddy's world – the financial sector – has been slower to change than most. During my research, the women who were helping me on some of the guys emails that come out of these places – they were so specific they'd make a gynecologist want to go and lie down.
What I really think is that women were allowed into the workplace, but the workplace never stopped being male. The long-hours culture is male (women want to get home), the dick-swinging meetings culture is male (for men meetings are arenas of display, women want to make a quick decision and get on with their work), the politicking and oiling up to senior colleagues is male (most women don't have the stomach for it). One banker I spoke too said, "If the office was full of estrogen instead of testosterone, you'd see a huge and beneficial change."
Q: Kate Reddy feels fiercely competitive with the stay-at-home moms who she fears judge her for not being a good enough mother. You've observed a very real tension of modern day life – this competition/anxiety that makes working moms and stay-at-home moms view each other warily. Which group judges the other more harshly do you think?
A: I think it's very complicated. As a working mother, I often look at stay-home Mums with a mixture of envy and anxiety – are they judging me for not being with my kids full-time? Then again, I have friends who have given up work and they look with envy and anxiety at people like me who get to leave the house and wear clean clothes and even, sometimes, sleep on their own in a hotel bed for a full 12 uninterrupted hours! In the book, Kate calls the stay-at-home women the Mothers Superior and classes herself a Mother Inferior, which is how I personally feel a lot of the time. I don't think working mothers judge the stay-home mothers – they know they've made the big sacrifice to be with their kids – but I think some judging may go on the other way round.
Q: The enthusiasm for your novel has been immediate and passionate – certainly here at Knopf. Tell us about sale of the novel around the world and the sale of the movie rights.
A: I always thought that Kate would get a following in the States – the situation for working mothers seems to be very similar to the one in Britain. But I was amazed to have the rights to the book purchased in 13 countries, including Japan and Israel. Maybe the theme of stress is pretty universal right now?
The movie rights were sold last summer. I was building sandcastles with the kids on a beach when my mobile phone rang and it was my film agent, Norman North, ringing to say that Miramax had made an offer we couldn't refuse. It was incredibly exciting, but then Thomas – he's my youngest and was then nearly two, came over and celebrated Mummy's major movie deal by depositing an ice-cream in my lap. I thought it was such a Kate moment!
Q: How did you find time to write this novel? Did it take a long time to write?
A: Being a mother of two small children and trying to write a novel is hell – like having a secret third child in the house that you have to go and play with when the other two have gone to bed. It took me a year; the first half when I was doing my other jobs, and then four months flat out at the end. I found the time by working till 1 a.m., then getting up at 5 a.m. and putting in a couple of hours till Evie and Tom woke up. Then, I'd get them ready for the day and return to the computer. By the end Evie – she's six – was standing next to the computer saying, "Have you finished your book yet, Mum? Please have you finished your book?" The irony of a stressed-out working mother writing a novel about a stressed-out working mother was hard to bear at times. I think I lost about six months of their lives to create Kate Reddy.
My only hope is that the novel stirs up some discussion so that life will be very different for Evie and her female friends when they get to working age. The novel is dedicated to her – it's my way of saying, "This is how your mother's generation had to live and never think I didn't love you."
Q: Everyone at Knopf (with special emphasis on the moms here) is comparing notes on "Kate Reddy moments." As the creator of the concept, could you give us some of your "personal best?"
A: There are so many, but one disaster stands out. As a journalist, I had to go and interview Tom Hanks at the Dorchester. It was not long after my daughter was born, and when I held out my hand to shake the movie stars I realized I had this kind of epaulette of banana sick on my black jacket. When you have a baby or little kids, it's a constant battle to keep your work clothes clean, so I identify totally with all of Kate's embarrassments in this area. Luckily, Tom Hanks was so nice and had kids of his own, that he said, "Oh, don't worry, this happens all the time." Which was incredibly sweet, but clearly untrue: not too many people go to meet him covered in regurgitated breakfast!
Some of the moments are not that funny. I went to Los Angeles for almost a week on a job and ended up sitting in a hotel while I was messed around by some very arrogant PR people. Every night, I called my husband and he told me that six-month-old Thomas was "a little under the weather." When I finally got home, I walked into the kitchen and I realized immediately that the baby had been ill. I picked him up and he gave me such a wonderful smile– he was so happy to see me – but he had lost so much weight. It turned out, he had tonsillitis and Anthony hadn't wanted to worry me. I was so incredibly upset. I stood there and wept and all the time the baby was laughing and smiling, just delighted to have his Mummy back. I hated the fact that I'd wasted my time with those worthless vain Hollywood people when my baby boy was ill. That was the worst moment.

Allison Pearson on Kate Reddy and I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE DOES IT
Kate Reddy was born on Mother's Day. The idea for a novel about a woman struggling to juggle work and home came to me in March two years ago, after reading a survey in Good Housekeeping. The survey said that half of all working mothers were worried that their relationship with their husband was suffering because of a terrible 'time famine.' Two-thirds were too exhausted to have sex. Three-quarters felt they never had time to do things properly (but, of course, that didn't stop them from trying). And what did these poor demented creatures want for Mother's Day – flowers, chocolates? No. A little bit of time to themselves.
Did the survey ring a bell? You could say that again – a cathedral full of bells. Only recently, it had struck me that my friends – all in their thirties and trying to combine jobs with bringing up children – were going mad. Clare, a TV executive, had rung up late one night to ask if I had some licorice. She was making a Postman Pat cake for her three-year-old's birthday and she needed licorice to make Pat's specs.
Couldn't she just buy a cake from a supermarket? No. That would mean she was a Mommy Who Didn't Make An Effort, and she already felt bad enough about seeing so little of her son.
Another friend confessed that, on the rare occasions she and her husband made love, she dreaded having an orgasm because it knocked her out for the next day at the office. Even as I was laughing, I was remembering my own first day back at work, four months after my daughter was born in 1996. Sent to interview Tom Hanks, no less, at the Dorchester, I had squeezed my milky, still-distended body into the cleanest clothes I could find. On the outside, at least, I thought I looked like a competent professional, but when I held out my hand to the advancing movie star, I happened to look down and see my shoulder – the black Armani jacket was decorated with an epaulette of baby sick.
Arrrggghhh. The life of the working mother was an ongoing farce: a daily drama in which women pretended to have everything under control. But it also had elements of tragedy because, behind it all, was the love we felt for our children and the terror we had of failing them.
In my column in the London Evening Standard on the 5th of April, I said that I believed women were being pushed to the breaking point as they tried to do two jobs. The day job, and the 24-hour one where they carried the puzzle of family life in their heads: birthdays, holidays, medical appointments, buy toilet roll, new shoes for the kids, and on and on. The article drew an astonishing response. Readers wrote by the hundreds; famous women and women with hard, ordinary lives. All of them said the same thing: That's My Life!
I felt I had opened a secret door onto a parallel universe. The role of the working mother was so commonplace as to go unremarked, but clearly millions knew about its comedy and its despair and were grateful to hear someone else own up. Over the years, publishers had asked me if I wanted to write a book, but I had enough respect for hardcovers to think you should only write if you have something you passionately want to communicate. Now I had my subject; all that remained was to create a heroine who would embody all the lunacy and the aspiration, the remarkable gutsy resilience of the 21st-century woman. Her name was Kate Reddy.
Kate has a ball-breaking job in the City and two small children she loves but seldom sees. Kate counts seconds like other women count calories. In Kate's life, everything Goes Perfectly as long as Everything Goes Perfectly. There is no margin for error. Children will not fall ill, jackets will not become spattered with banana porridge as you leave the house for a client meeting, toilet paper will be restocked by unseen hands, holidays will offer instant refreshment, and there is no such thing as exhaustion or panic or fear. As if.
The main breadwinner, Kate pays a large mortgage on a subsiding house in London. With her husband Richard in a stalled architecture practice, a cleaner with dodgy knees, and a nanny who, after tax, insurance, and the highest per-hour babysitting rate in Western Europe takes home not much less than her employer, Kate is a well-paid slave. She has parents-in-law who disapprove of her and, at the school gate, there are the non-working mums – the Mothers Superior – who smile smugly and say, I don't know how you do it.
Sarah Sands, deputy editor at The Daily Telegraph, suggested that I could write parts of my planned novel as a column. On 4 December 2000, the first episode from Kate Reddy's life appeared under the title "I Don't Know How She Does It." By Christmas, my agent Pat Kavanagh had persuaded Alison Samuel at the publishing house Chatto & Windus and Caroline Michel at Vintage to take an amazing leap of faith. On the basis of five thousand words, these brave women bought a novel which still didn't have a beginning, a middle, or an end. A few weeks later, Knopf picked up the book for the US. Kate Reddy's life is my life, said my editor over there. In the next months, foreign rights were sold in 12 countries. A Finnish publisher rang Nicki Kennedy, my indefatigable translation agent. "I am sitting at home with two sick children," she shrieked, "I need to buy this book NOW."
And then, last summer, I was building castles at the beach with my children when the mobile rang. It was Norman North of Peters Fraser Dunlop, calling to say that Miramax had made an offer for the novel that we couldn't refuse. My son promptly celebrated his mother's movie deal by depositing an ice cream in her lap: a very Kate Reddy moment.
Behind all this worldwide interest, one question was being asked: Is Kate Reddy the new Bridget Jones? Let me put it this way, if you asked Bridget to live just one week of Kate's life, the poor wimp would be admitted to intensive care. Bridget made women laugh. I want Kate to move women so fiercely, and to remind them so strongly of their own lives, that they won't know whether to laugh or cry.
Bridget Jones was a marvelous comic creation. But it was not necessary to invent Kate Reddy. She was a tune playing loud and clear in the air and all I had to do was write down the notes.
--Allison Pearson (2003)
1. At 1:37 a.m. on an average night, Kate Reddy has just returned from a business trip to Sweden and is banging store-bought mince pies with a rolling pin so that they'll look homemade for her daughter's school Christmas party. She then goes out to the trash bins to hide the pie boxes so that Paula, her nanny, won't tell the other nannies that Kate cheated on the pies. She cleans up the kitchen and then takes a long time brushing her teeth so that her husband will fall asleep before she comes to bed (if they don't have sex, she can skip a shower in the morning and possibly have time for Christmas shopping on the way to work). How does this sequence, along with the "Must Remember" list that follows it, work to set the comic pacing for the novel [pp. 3–10]? How successful is the opening chapter in getting the reader to sympathize with Kate and her daily challenges?
2. When Kate arrives late for work, she needs to come up with what her friend Debra calls "a Man's Excuse" [p. 15]—something that does not have to do with sick children or an absent nanny, preferably something involving car repairs or traffic. Is Pearson accurate in describing a business world that has little patience for the out-of-office responsibilities of working mothers?
3. Kate has two good friends, Debra and Candy, with whom she exchanges comical e-mail messages. What do these messages convey about the ways women console, support, and entertain one another? What do they convey about the subculture of office life?
4. "There is an uneasy standoff between the two kinds of mother which sometimes makes it hard for us to talk to each other. I suspect that the nonworking mother looks at the working mother with envy and fear because she thinks that the working mum has got away with it, and the working mum looks back with fear and envy because she knows that she has not. In order to keep going in either role, you have to convince yourself that the alternative is bad" [p. 96]. How do Kate's vexed interactions with local "Mother Superiors" reflect the truth of this statement?
5. Pearson has said of her book, "It's a tragedy at the pace of comedy." What does she mean by this? Do you agree?
6. Musing on her relationship with her unreliable father, Kate thinks, "Daughters striving to be the son their father never had, daughters excelling at school to win the attention of a man who was always looking the other way, daughters like poor mad Antigone pursuing the elusive ghost of paternal love. So why do all us Daddy's Girls go and work in places so hostile to women? Because the only real comfort we get is from male approval" [p. 153]. Is this an adequate explanation for Kate's ambition? How did her family's instability and poverty shape her psyche?
7. How is the romantic distraction posed by Jack Abelhammer important in further illuminating Kate's position? Is the outcome a forgone conclusion, or did she just make the right choice for herself?
8. "If you give Chris Bunce five million years he may realize that it's possible to work alongside women without needing to take their clothes off" [p. 298]. Is Pearson right in suggesting that many workplaces tolerate the sexism of some male workers? How satisfying is Kate and Momo's revenge upon Bunce?
9. Why has Pearson chosen to include the character of Jill Cooper-Clark, who dies of cancer at age forty-seven? Why is Jill's memo to her husband ("Your Family: How It Works!") so poignant? What has Jill's friendship meant to Kate? How does it shift the novel's comic events to a more serious context?
10. In an essay in a British newspaper, Pearson remarked, "Children may behave like liberals—they believe they should be allowed to do what they want—but what they really like, what makes them feel safe, is essentially conservative. . . . My ideals told me that men and women could both go out to work and be truly equal. My children told me something more complicated, something I really didn't want to hear. Their need for me was like the need for water or light: it had a devastating simplicity to it. It didn't fit any of the theories about what women were supposed to do with their lives, theories written in books often by women who never had children." How does this statement resonate with the experiences detailed in the novel? Is this a novel that is too close to reality for comfort because Pearson tells us things we know but don't want to acknowledge?
11. Which is a greater strain on Kate and Richard's marriage—the children, Kate's job, and her frequent travel, or her romantic interest in her American client? What does Pearson mean when she writes, "Any woman with a baby has already committed a kind of adultery" [p. 169]? How does the novel underscore the ways in which the arrival of children irrevocably changes the relationship between husband and wife?
12. A recent newspaper article noted that of Fortune magazine's fifty most powerful women, one-third have husbands who stay at home with the children. Would Kate's problems be solved if her husband left his failing architecture firm to become a stay-at-home father? Does the novel suggest that Kate needs to let him reassume the primary economic role if their marriage is to survive? Does Pearson suggest that people are still offended by the idea of a woman who makes more money than her husband? Why?
13. Some of the novel's funniest moments have to do with clothing, as when, in her haste, Kate has overlooked some detail of her dress. She gives a major presentation wearing a red bra under a sheer white blouse; she pulls on black tights in the train on the way to Jill's funeral without realizing that they have Playboy bunnies up the backs of the legs. How does Pearson use these moments to show how important details of dress are in the working world, and how wrong things can go when women don't have butlers or wives to look after their clothing?
14. With their aggressive moral superiority, the women Kate calls "Mother Superiors" seem to believe they have made the right choice in staying home with their children. When Kate is tried at the imaginary "Court of Motherhood" (Chapters 6, 18, 40), why is she always on the defensive? Is this internalized "court of motherhood" something that plagues all mothers, not only those who work outside the home?
15. As Kate herself says, "Giving up work is like becoming a missing person. One of the domestic Disappeared. The post offices of Britain should be full of Wanted posters for women who lost themselves in their children and were never seen again"
[p. 170]. Is Kate's decision to leave her job a disappointment or a relief?
16. The book ends with the question "What else?" at the end of another "Must Remember" list. Is Kate's life qualitatively better since she left her job and moved away from London? With the final page, does Pearson imply that Kate's life is essentially un-changed, or that it is about to take off in an exciting direction in which she will dictate the terms of her working life?

Maria C.Can It Be Hazardous To My Health?Does this product contain formaldahyde or something similar?Reply to this postJan 13, 2012Link to this post
JoannaRinse Or Leave In?I just received my Gloss Moderne set and it's great. I love the silkiness of my hair, it's so smooth, shiny, I love it.Reply to this post
But I just have one question regarding using the masque. There is information to use it for couple minutes but then what? Rinse it or leave it on the hair?? I am really not sure how to use it and hope to get some answers.
I have read some reviews, some people leave it for couple minutes and then rinse off, some leave it for the whole night and then use shampoo to wash their hair, there is also an information to use the masque for five minutes then blow dry the hair - so I guess you leave the masque on?
I know it might sound like a silly question but I am really looking for the answer here.Oct 27, 2011Link to this post -
Kate W.CALeave In Or Rinse, And Any Thermal Protection? Really.Seriously: is the masque supposed to be a leave in treatment?Reply to this post
If so does it provide any thermal protection.?
The directions on the masque jar say to massage it into rinsed hair for 5 minutes. OK after 5 minutes, do we rinse? Stop massaging and go have lunch or what?
If it's good either way, fine, but it would help to know the intended use.
I looked at their video; it's just the blurbs off the back of the products set to some annoying repetitive music.( something more informative would be good).
BTW haven't tried it as a leave in, but the rinse out is just an ok result so perhaps the leave in is where all the raves are coming from?Oct 16, 2011Link to this post -
Lindsay P.Fairchild AFBLeave In? Or Rinse Out?This may be a dumb question, but the product does not state the answer... after applying to wet hair, am I supposed to wait a while then rinse it out? Or is this a leave-in product?Reply to this post
Thanks!Sep 8, 2011Link to this post-
Lyn A.United StatesLeave In!I have this product and it has worked wonderfully! What you are directed to do is saturate your wet hair with the masque, leave the masque in for 5 minutes, and then rinse.
I bleached my hair a few months ago and every since then my hair has been so dry. After I used this masque I feel like my hair is replenishing its softness!
Hope this helps!Sep 22, 2011Link to this post

KateRepairing Split Ends.No. Unfortunately, the myth that split ends can be somehow glued back together has been propagated by half rate shampoo/conditioner commercials. The only real way to get rid of split ends is to have them trimmed off. This product CAN, however, help to prevent new damage!Dec 30, 2011Link to this post
Erinn D.BrooklynYes!gloss moderne's products are infused with keratin, a natural protein found in hair. so this masque would definitely help with frizz, restructuring the hair shaft and repairing split ends.Aug 16, 2011Link to this post

Great interview, thanks. ^^
I was especially interested in how plausible it is to port certain games, as well as how easy the GNU/Linux OS makes porting games and creating games for it to begin with. It needs to be made as attractive to game development as possible, and for all software in general of course.
The state of sound on Linux *sounds* pretty bad indeed. Teehee.
PulseAudio still has issues.
