Web-only retailer U.S. Auto Parts Network reported sales of $40 million for the first quarter of 2008, an 8.5% decrease from $43.7 million in the prior year period. The company registered higher traffic but a decline in its average ticket.
Web-only retailer U.S. Auto Parts Network Inc. reported sales of $40 million for the first quarter of 2008, an 8.5% decrease from $43.7 million in the prior year period. Net loss for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008, was $900,000 compared with a net profit of $200,000 in the same quarter last year.
For the quarter, marketing expenses totaled $3.4 million, or 8.5% of net sales, compared with $2.5 million, or 5.6% of net sales, in the prior year period. The increase was attributed to additional headcount in the company's Philippines call center, higher depreciation and operating expenses related to new facilities in the Philippines, and increased marketing service expense.
Online advertising totaled $2.6 million -- 6.4% of net sales -- for the first quarter of 2008, vs. $3.4 million, or 7.9% of net sales, for the prior year period. "The decline in marketing spend reflects our decision to limit incremental spending on paid search to break-even levels based on our estimated lifetime value of a customer," the company says.
U.S. Auto Parts Network, No. 94 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, reported a 1.2% conversion rate in Q1, compared with 1.4% during the same period of 2007. Q1 2008 was in line with a 1.2% conversion rate for the fourth quarter of 2007. The number of monthly unique visitors in Q1 this year was 26 million, an increase of 16% vs. the prior year quarter, and an increase of 7% over Q4 2007.
The number of orders placed through the company's Partsbin.com and AutoPartsWarehouse.com e-commerce sites totaled about 320,000 in the quarter, compared to 315,000 in the prior year period, and 293,000 in Q4 of 2007. The average order was $126 during Q1 2008, down slightly from $129 during the corresponding period of 2007, and just above $125 for the fourth quarter of 2007.
As of the fourth quarter 2007, the company began using a new method to calculate operating metrics. The new measurement is based on placed orders instead of the previous focus on net orders, the company says. The company says it made the change to reduce the impact on key metrics of returns, out-of-stock orders and incomplete payment processing.
"During the first quarter of 2008, we were pleased to see initial improvements in our conversion rate, both in our online business and our call center. We attribute these increases to improvements in the online shopping experience and greatly improved service levels in our call center," says Michael McClane, chief financial officer. "During the quarter we increased our SKU count, improved our in-stock position and reduced our customer acquisition cost. Over the remainder of 2008, we plan to continue to drive sales while closely managing our cost structure."

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Return to Kuwait: The class of 1990
25 Apr 2010 05:28 GMT | Asia Pacific, Indonesia
Indonesia is trying to clean up its legal system, in which 80 per cent of police, judges and other officials are believed to be taking bribes worth millions of dollars.
But an unfolding scandal is threatening to increase pressure on Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, the president, to step up reforms to stamp out corruption.
The latest case in which corrupt tax and law officials allegedly accepted bribes in return for lower tax bills has triggered a public outcry.
A three-star police general has been given the job of fighting corruption, but as Al Jazeera's Step Vaessen reports, even he is accused of taking dirty money.

Daric Barton passed through waivers unclaimed … again
May 21, 2013, 2:46 PM EDT
For the second time in a month Daric Barton was placed on waivers by the A's and passed through without being claimed by any of the other 29 teams.
Our own Bill Baer wondered over the weekend if Barton could be a fit for the Mets or other teams getting little production from first base, but instead he'll remain with the A's at Triple-A after a brief call-up in which he went 3-for-21 with a homer.
Barton was once a stud prospect who cracked Baseball America's top 100 in four straight years and he led the league in walks while posting a .393 on-base percentage for the A's as a 24-year-old in 2010, but he's hit just .203 in 121 games since then and his lack of power is a major issue if he's not getting on base at a great rate. Still, at age 27 and considering all the drek on 40-man rosters across MLB he seems worthy of a flier.
- chacochicken - May 21, 2013 at 2:50 PM
I would think, given the catastrophe that is Ike Davis, or the completely unproductive group for the Brewers, Barton could at least get a look.

- thebadguyswon - May 21, 2013 at 3:38 PM
Its because Daric Barton sucks. This is a non story.
- scatterbrian - May 21, 2013 at 3:42 PM
Barton's making $1.1M this season, so the risk/reward might be a bit much for some teams.
- jkaflagg - May 21, 2013 at 3:52 PM
Sounds as though a Barton for Brett Wallace swap is in order…..
- jazynaz - May 21, 2013 at 4:03 PM
i don't know or understand how many times a player can go up and down from AAA to the majors, but barton has gone back and forth more than i thought possible or have ever heard of. every time he comes back to the a's the question is raised, why do the they continue to retain barton. the a's need to invest in a decent, dependable 1st baseman who is good enough to stay with the team. does BB have a man crush on barton, or what?
- Detroit Michael - May 21, 2013 at 4:56 PM
The Athletics continue to retain Barton because he put up an OBP of nearly .400 in 159 games in 2010. That buys one a long leash.
- jerze2387 - May 21, 2013 at 7:39 PM
Youve got the wrong Billy Bean(e) for that scenerio
- APBA Guy - May 21, 2013 at 7:29 PM
It's not that the A's have a man-crush on Barton, its the reality that they are thin in the OF, and with Reddick hurt, their back-up after Smith/Young is Moss, who is the normal 1B. If Moss has to play OF, Barton plays 1B, which he plays well. So in addition to his OBP from 2010, he is also a credible defender.

Sherwood number
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009)
The Sherwood number (Sh) (also called the mass transfer Nusselt number) is a dimensionless number used in mass-transfer operation. It represents the ratio of the total rate of mass transfer to the rate of diffusive mass transport alone, [1] and is named in honor of Thomas Kilgore Sherwood.
It is defined as follows
- L is a characteristic length (m)
- D is mass diffusivity (m2.s−1)
- K is the mass transfer coefficient (m.s−1)
Using dimensional analysis, it can also be further defined as a function of the Reynolds and Schmidt numbers:
For example, for a single sphere it can be expressed as:
where is the Sherwood number due only to natural convection and not forced convection.
A more specific correlation, the Froessling equation:
This form is particularly valuable to chemical engineers in situations where the Reynolds number and Schmidt number are readily available. Since Re and Sc are both dimensionless numbers, the Sherwood number is also dimensionless.
These correlations are the mass transfer analogs to heat transfer correlations of the Nusselt number in terms of the Reynolds number and Prandtl number. For a correlation for a given geometry (e.g. spheres, plates, cylinders, etc.), a heat transfer correlation (often more readily available from literature and experimental work, and easier to determine) for the Nusselt number (Nu) in terms of the Reynolds number (Re) and the Prandtl number (Pr) can be used as a mass transfer correlation by replacing the Prandtl number with the analogous dimensionless number for mass transfer, the Schmidt number, and replacing the Nusselt number with the analogous dimensionless number for mass transfer, the Sherwood number.
As an example, a heat transfer correlation for spheres is given by the Ranz-Marshall Correlation:
This correlation can be made into a mass transfer correlation using the above procedure, which yields:
This is a very concrete way of demonstrating the analogies between different forms of transport phenomena.

|The thyroid gland requires iodide in order to synthesize the thyroid hormones thyroxin (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Thus when supplemental iodine is added to the child's supplements, the form should be a potassium iodide solution. Do not use Lugol's Solution or Iodoral tablets – the elemental iodine in these products will iodinate T3, turning it back into T4.1 Do not use a kelp or a seaweed product because the form of iodine is unknown.
Paging JaneS!
Quick question- and I apologize if this has already been discussed... it's been months and months since I read this thread through.
I just started doing some reading at the vitamin K Yahoo Group about their vitamin K protocol (we're looking into it because of elevated oxalic acid levels in DD and possible calcium regulation issues.)
One of the group leaders says in her writings:
Any thoughts about this? I know that Lugol's and Iodoral are the 2 main sources that have been promoted throughout this thread, so reading this caught me by surprise.

I've never seen this before, is there a reference for this? I went into the group files and she doesn't cite background. Different organs use iodine and iodide.
|1Evidence of thyroxine formation following iodine administration in Sprague-Dawley rats. Thrall KD, Sauer RL, Bull RJ. J Toxicol Environ Health. 1992 Dec;37(4):535-48.
She has that reference listed as:
(It was in the middle of the doc, not at the end.)
|The concept of a high loading dose followed after several months by a lower maintenance dose is based on the work of Dr. David Brownstein (see references). The high loading dose supplies iodide to non-thyroidal tissues and organs that utilize iodide; once those tissues are replete, the iodide dose is reduced to a maintenance level.
and here's a growing blog by Dr. K who does not recommend iodine to Hashimoto's patients:
Cheryl, mom to Olivia Grace (May 2009), Zackary James (Jun 2012)
both hypnobabies births
While I know that iodine can exacerbate Hashi's, I'm still not sure that the the correct endpoint to arrive. I just read that one page but I didn't see mention of selenium deficiency... Brownstein treats his Hashi's patients as deficienct in both iodine and antioxidants as the etiology of the disease. Selenium alone will reduce TPO antibodies. Magnesium and other antioxidants are recommended as well, ATP cofactors: B2 and B3, vitamin C.
My holistic RD takes high iodine, along with other nutritional protocols, including going gluten free, and her Hashi's has improved greatly, to the tune of having another baby! (Low thyroid is often a cause of infertility.)
Cheryl, mom to Olivia Grace (May 2009), Zackary James (Jun 2012)
both hypnobabies births
subbing. I was just dx'd with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and doing some research about iodine. I'd better check out that link about iodine an H.
I to have hashis...still haven't decided on iodine since the info is conflicting I'm currently reading this book at www.thyroidbook.com
It's full of great info and is all about people with Hashis. I absolutely love the book.
So if he doesn't use iodine or thyroid hormone to treat Hashi's, what does he use?
What does he say is the cause? His stat that 90% of hypo is caused by Hashi's is really surprising to me. Does he think that the antibody ranges are wrong? (Thinking I have to go back and look at my tests now. I know I was in the normal range.)
When he explains things in the book, he gets to a level of detail that satisfies my curiosity. I haven't dived into thyroid stuff much to be able to compare it to other resources, but just based on how he writes, it seems like he actually knows what he's talking about. I'm taking it as a great starting point, but still want to do my own fact checking to make sure I'm interpreting things the same as him.

Coming Soon: The Anglo Minority In Texas
The U.S. Census Bureau released a new report today saying that minorities will become the majority in America in the year 2042.
There was no state-by-state breakdown (that will be released in a few months), but we talked to the State Demographer of Texas to find out when Anglos in the Lone Star State will no longer be the largest ethnic group.
And to answer your first question, yes, there is such a thing as the State Demographer of Texas.
"No, I don't get to wear a uniform -- but maybe I should go to Austin and see if I can get one, and maybe the rank of colonel," says Karl Eschbach, a professor at UT-San Antonio.
As to the more pressing question -- when are Texas Anglos going to become an oppressed minority? -- it's coming sooner than you might think.
Probably close to the year 2014, Eschbach says.
His office has done three different projections of when Hispanics will take over as the largest group in Texas, using different assumptions. The earliest date of the three is 2014 and the latest is 2020.
"But my subjective judgment is that it will be closer to 2014 than 2020," he says.
In fact, at the end of September they're releasing a new study, one that he thinks will show the current estimates are too conservative.
So get ready, whitey -- in just six short years you can begin clamoring for your minority rights.

By A Customer
[...]This book is a wonderful resource for any wife who would like to improve her relationship with her husband. As has been mentioned before, Dr. Laura intersperses her advice with letters, emails, and phone conversations from her radio program to illustrate each chapter's main point. The book's main body consists of eight chapters dealing with a distinct factor on improving the husband-wife relationship.
These are the main points of Dr. Laura's book. Basically, as one reviewer put it so well, love is indeed a verb, not just a noun. I'm finding that acting on some of the advice given in this book has already caused a definite happier atmosphere in our home.
It's not about being a "doormat", downtrodden, or subservient. It's about loving and respecting the man you chose to marry.
Just because Dr. Laura's past has skeletons, does it really make her advice negligible? It's not as if this book is all just her opinion. There is plenty of advice from people who have emailed and written letters to her--those who are in happy marriages, troubled marriages, and everywhere in between.
The reason I gave the book 4 out of 5 stars: the letter/email/phone call excerpts within the chapters caused information overload at times. The main points could still have been made without getting bogged down in too many real-life examples.
In any case, trying the advice given in this book can only help your marriage. You can't go wrong giving your husband love!

4.0 out of 5 stars Yes, a feminist can love this book too!,
This review is from: The Proper Care And Feeding Of Husbands (Paperback)
I've always considered myself somewhat of a feminist and am not a fan of Dr. Laura for various reasons (she's extremely hypocritical). But, I purchased this book planning to take it at face value.
Wow. A number of the points in this book made a lot of sense and were a bit of a slap in the face. Sure, Dr. Laura's a hypocrite - but ignoring that and just reading the words for what they are has helped me ten-fold.
I used to think, "why should I do the housework just because I'm the woman?" It's not about being the woman - it's about what I'm contributing to our relationship. My man works longer hours in a much more stressful job than I. Why is it considered socially demeaning or oppressive (yes, I admit to being one who thought it was) for me to have a health meal on the table when he gets home? If he was home 3 hours before me, I'd hope he'd do the same thing.
Definitely read this book - but take what you want and leave what won't work for you. This book is about showing your husband respect and appreciation. What's so oppressive about that?

4.0 out of 5 stars Increasingly rare but valuable advice,
Steven Jones (Tennessee USA) - See all my reviews
I am not a listener of Dr. Laura so I've never been considered a fan of hers, although you can't live in North America without hearing people spewing their hatred of her for various vaguely defined reasons. I've noticed that most of the negative reviews here were from people who apparently did not read this book and simply enjoy hating Dr. Laura. 5 paragraphs about why you, too, should hate Dr. Laura and not 1 word about the book is not a book review.
This is a pretty good book. It won't solve every problem a marriage may have, but it deals directly with some of the most common problems of today and provides possible solutions. It is specifically aimed at problems women can deal with in relating to men, and so is primarily targeted at a female audience. Clearly, anyone can point out problems. It is the offered solutions that make this book worthwhile. For those who want to strengthen their marriage this book can be helpful as a general guide.
I didn't give this book 5 stars because what it says is so obvious. The advice and offered solutions are only rare because such obvious truths are prohibited in modern Western society. I don't care much about Dr. Laura's past (yes, I have seen the naked photos and they are all very nice.) Her past doesn't relate much to the quality of the advice itself. And I don't care if she is a doctor of psychology or a housewife with a microphone and a phony title like the Reverend Jesse Jackson. Some doctors are idiots and some people who never went to college are exceptionally intelligent.
If all the conflicting reviews here seem confusing then I recommend that you pick up a copy at the bookstore (if you can find where they hid it - and they will hide it) and flip through it for yourself. If you are married or planning to be I guarantee that at least some of what you read will help you greatly. And if you are a socialist feminist (female supremacist) you should never marry or date any man and this book is obviously not for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars For a society which has forgotten what common sense is,
Elizabeth "Elizabeth from the California Sierra" (California Sierra) - See all my reviews
I am a wild mountain woman and not at all meek and mild, and I do NOT listen to Dr. Lauras radio show, and there are many things she says and believes that I do NOT agree with. But there are a lot of writers whom I dislike on a personality level who nonetheless have valuable and wise wisdom that I have used and gained great value from.
This book is common sense information for a society which has forgotten what common sense is. And being an Orthodox Jewish, happily married woman, she offers advise that is of value to anyone who really cares about having a marriage that is a success, be they religious or secular.
Dr. Laura is wise to note in her books and in her interviews on shows like Larry King that her books never condone or encourage women or men to stay in relationships where their is abuse or pornography issues. Her books, like this one, are for the majority of women in relationships where the main concerns have more to do with knowing why their marriages aren't all they want. Knowing that being feminine and womanly isn't a negative, and that men and women are different and this isn't a negative.
Being married since 1966, I learned ages ago that to change my husband I needed to change myself. And Dr. Laura gets this common sense fact down on paper so well. She also writes with the understanding of what makes a successful marriage in modern times. She doesn't put down working women, since she is one. But she does remind women who are married that they need to look at what their priorities are or should be.
I will even suggest that CEO's and those who run businesses read this book, because it might help them better understand that workers who have their priorities straight at home, have better marriages and better marriages makes for better workers.
I also highly recommend Unexpected Legacy of Divorce, The: 25 Year Landmark Study and The Good Marriage: How & Why Love Lasts by Judith Wallerstein.

4.0 out of 5 stars Female divorce lawyer approves of this book,
By A Customer
I am a divorce attorney. Daily I listen at how people throw away their lives and their children's lives over silly things. Clearly, no one should remain in an abusive marriage, but Dr. Laura's book merely asks wives to be tolerant and polite to their husbands. In return, she believes that the couple's stress levels will reduce and the family will be more harmonious. It is basic advice which most spouses overlook. Be nice. Be kind. Remember to love one another. I like this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent,
By A Customer
This book is the answer to the MILLIONS of books out there that focus on what's wrong with men, how men could further please women, better understand women, satisfy women's emotional needs. What is sad, that so many women (including some reviewers) think it's wrong for a man to want satisfaction in a relationship too, and that he too, would like to be "served" "catered to" and have his needs met. When women demand this (and complain that men do not do this), it is ok, we blame the men for not meeting their needs. When someone like the author points out men have needs too, some sexist women act like this is subservient, or "servicing" men. So pleasing men is "servicing" but pleasing women is "being a good husband?"
This book is a strong proponent of the position that BOTH people need each other and have needs that often go unspoken. I think it says a lot that such a book offends some women, even though similar books are written about the reverse situation. What does that tell you about our society today?
This book won't save your marriage, but it will help you both understand the dynamics going on in the relationship. I also suggest that men read similar books about being good husbands.

5.0 out of 5 stars What Do Men Want?,
This review is from: Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands (Audio CD) (Audio CD)
*A man needs to feel strong and needed as a protector for women-basically, to conquer the beast and rescue the fair maiden.
*A man needs his woman to show him that she needs his strength to help her through life.
*A man needs his wife's encouragement in order to be a man.
Those are just a few examples of what men want, based on Dr. Laura Schlessinger's innumerable letters, e-mails and telephone calls received from frustrated men. "[W]omen get married thinking largely about what their marriage and their men can do for them, and not what they can do for their men," she writes.
Simple truths from a straight-forward woman. For over 25 years, Dr. Laura Schlessinger ("Dr. Laura") has been "preaching, teaching and nagging" on the radio, encouraging men and women to create healthy and stable homes for children. She goes a step further in The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands, encouraging wives to use their power as women to create happy homes.
This book speaks to the woman who criticizes, neglects or ignores her husband, a basically decent man (not the abuser or the addicted) who is often starved for his wife's attention and affection.
Men are dependent on their wives for their emotional well-being, and want to be loved and appreciated by them, says Dr. Laura, a licensed marriage and family therapist. Men are self-admitted "simple creatures" who are raised by women, marry women and rely on them for a sense of security. Consequently, if the wife is not happy, the home is not happy.
The book will certainly provide more fodder for Dr. Laura's detractors to chew on. The idea of considering your husband's needs above your own is old-fashioned and politically incorrect. The book is bound to draw criticism from a self-centered culture where personal happiness-and not the happiness of others-is the highest priority.
In The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands, Dr. Laura offers real-life examples from letters and phone call transcripts, as well as practical advice similar to the wise counsel women once received from their mothers and grandmothers on how to keep a happy home. Such advice is also biblical. In Titus 2, older women are instructed to mentor younger women and teach them how to care for their husbands and homes.
"How is it that so many women are angry with men in general yet expect to have a happy life married to one of them?" Dr. Laura asks. She believes the answer lies in the "assault upon, and virtual collapse of, the values of religious morality, modesty, fidelity, chastity, respect for life, and a commitment to family and child rearing."
Another culprit is feminism, which has created much chaos between men and women. This ideology is particularly caustic to marriage. Men and women are different, yet feminism teaches that they are fundamentally the same. As a result, women create strife by heaping unrealistic and unnecessary expectations on their husbands.
What Dr. Laura presents in The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands is nothing new; it's merely a reminder of something very old. "Contrary to what a good forty years of feminist propaganda has claimed, it is not oppression, subjugation, or abdication of any feminine quality-of-life potential to marry a man, be proud of your bonding, rejoice in your gifts and sacrifices for your marriage and family, and derive pleasure and sustenance from your role as a wife and mother."

5.0 out of 5 stars The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands: What Successful Marriage Is Really About (Paperback)
This book is highly recommended for women who are genuinely wanting change in their relationship styles (not just for married people). It is painfully honest and blunt so it is only recommended for those who are wanting to make serious changes and is willing to hear what it has to say.
This book is about HIS needs and not about yours. It's about what YOU can do to make him truly be loved and if understood properly by a woman who is truly wanting to be her husband's supporter, it could make a huge difference about the marriage.
2.0 out of 5 stars understanding how he expresses his love, respecting and listening to his feelings,
J. Hughes "Jennifer" (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Proper Care And Feeding Of Husbands (Paperback)
This is an okay book, although there are a lot of faults with how Dr. Laura presents her message. In her book, she talks about the need to respect your husband through how a wife speaks to him, not belittling him, understanding how he expresses his love, respecting and listening to his feelings, remembering that he still needs his own autonomy and space within the relationship.
All of the things are great points, but there is nothing ground-breaking in her book.
Although I think that Dr. Laura has some good points, there are several issues that I have with the book.
• Does not cite sources
Throughout her book, Dr. Laura will say, "Studies have shown…" or make claims without backing up her statements. Not once does she reference a specific study or have a citation to back up her claim. The majority of the "proof" that Dr. Laura provides are snippets of conversations with listeners of her radio show (also not cited). These wouldn't even qualify as case studies because we don't get to know anything about the caller or their situation other than a 30 second call. Dr. Laura also does not follow up any of these anecdotes with research to prove her point. As someone with a PhD, she should be well-versed in how to cite her claims and provide proof for her arguments. I understand that not every reader cares about which particular study she is referring to, but as an author with an academic background, she should understand the importance of this.
• Generalities and Stereotypes
Throughout her book, Dr. Laura states that "men are like this, women are like this." There is very little talk about individual difference within each gender. It gets to the point where you could replace any man or woman in a relationship and the relationship would remain the same based on how women are, or how men are. This is most definitely not true. Individual differences, personalities needs, professional goals, family goals are what makes each relationship different.
• Disparages feminism at every turn
With every point that she makes, she talks about how feminism ruins women's relationships by telling women that they can have careers, not to listen to their husbands, etc. She makes no distinction between different waves or branches of feminism. All are lumped together and are at fault.
I find it especially ironic that a woman with a PhD in physiology disparages feminism so thoroughly. Without feminism, she would not have been allowed to receive a university education, let alone two advanced degrees in the sciences.
• Does not present her points in a balanced way
This is one of the most crucial problems with her book. Everything is presented as one-sided.
For instance, when she is telling women not to overwhelm their husbands with talking about all their emotions or venting about their frustrations, she mentions how men want to fix things. Instead of talking about what a healthy relationship might look like, with a balance between the needs of each spouse, it comes across as very one-sided where the needs of the husband are more important. But should not the husband care about the needs of his wife as his wife cares about his needs? Is not a healthy relationship characterized by finding a balance of meeting each other's needs?
The most glaring and disturbing example of this is a letter written by a man to his wife on pg. 168. In this letter (which Dr. Laura gives no background information to, to give it context), the husband tells his wife that she "doesn't have a clue or understand the essence of what it means to be a wife and mother." He states that he thinks it is important that she stay home 100 percent of the time. He tells his wife that too many things have been neglected, "our kids lack focus, training and discipline… To put it bluntly, you haven't been a mother" After eviscerating her as a mother, he continues, "when it comes to being a wife, you put no effort." He continues that he feels less interested in her and less motivated to keep the family together. But for me, the real kicker of a paragraph is this, "I'm not claiming that I'm the perfect husband and father. You and I both work too many hours, but I believe you underestimate the importance of the mother in a family. Mothers and fathers play different roles in a family. I've never discouraged you from pursuing a Ph.D., but I don't think it's high on the list of priorities of what I think is best for us as a family right now."
Dr. Laura does not spend much time discussing everything that is in this letter. She just summarizes and says that "fixed roles" are controversial, but being a mother is important. She does not discuss why this husband felt justified in eviscerating his wife in a letter, attacking her as a mother, a wife and her dreams. His wife is obviously intelligent to the point of pursuing a Ph.D., which is draining. But instead of appreciating that about his wife, he talks about it like it's a hobby that she should give up and stay home 100 percent of the time instead. She does not explore the reaction of the wife who receives this letter. She also does not talk about the importance of both spouses talking with each other to discuss what they want their family to look like.
Overall, I think that Dr. Laura had some basic points that were good, but were not ground-breaking. There were enough issues with speaking in stereotypes, not supporting her arguments and not presenting a balanced perspective that I would not recommend this book to anyone. I would also be very hesitant to read any of her other books.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good Common Sense for strengthening marriages,
Joe Lee (Brandon, MS USA) - See all my reviews
The title is clever, but Dr. Laura's main point is that men are essentially simple creatures who want to be admired and loved by their wives and will treat them like queens in return. As such, she says, it's necessary for women to respect the differences between the sexes rather than insist that men act like women. Schlesinger cites the need for a religious foundation for strong marriages, but she lays much of the blame for the attitudes of today's women squarely at the feet of the feminist movement, which she says is largely responsible for the self-centered, me-first, I-don't-need-a-man approach found in today's society.
I read this book cover to cover in several hours and found the recommendations very reasonable--her goal, after all, is to make good marriages stronger and provide good homes for the kids who come from these marriages. Recommended especially for young married couples, but anyone can learn something from this book and will find it helpful seeing the basic tenents of marriage laid out on printed pages as a reminder.

Big in Russia: the prince who brings the tsar back to life
Sunday 27 June 2004
Oligarchs lined up to meet him in Moscow. He was a star attraction at the glittering White Nights ball in St Petersburg. At Perm, in the remotest part of the Siberian steppes, there was prolonged applause when it was announced that "Prince Michael Kentski" was in the audience.
Back in Britain, Prince Michael of Kent may be eclipsed in the news by his wife, "Princess Pushy". But in Russia this descendant of the last Tsar, Nicholas II, enjoys iconic presence.
There is little doubt that the prince's astonishing physical resemblance to Nicholas is part of the reason. During his frequent visits to Russia, he draws double-takes almost every time he appears in public. Shown around the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, he stopped in front of a painting of the last Tsar, and the officials around him muttered and shook their heads.
Among some of the elderly, the reaction can be more extreme. Outside the Moscow metro, a woman almost fell over herself genuflecting to him. When he visited Ekaterinburg in the Urals, where the Tsar and his family were executed, a group of men exclaimed that a miracle had taken place, although, on that occasion, their belief had been reinforced by a large quantity of vodka.
The appeal, to a degree, extends to those who are too young to have much of a link with the Romanovs. The main hall at the university in Perm was packed for the prince's visit, and the students' association invited him to become a patron. Speaking from the floor, the students also made it very clear, however, that there was no place for monarchy in modern Russia.
But the real puzzle, perhaps, is why those in supreme political and economic power have so much time for this minor British royal. At last year's White Nights ball, held at Catherine the Great's Ekaterinski Palace, Vladimir Putin made a point of seeking out and greeting Prince Michael. Among those meeting him this time was Valentina Matvienko, the governor of St Petersburg, the first and only female governor in Russia, and tipped as the first female president in the future.
Prince Michael also met the billionaire industrialists Vladimir Potanin and Vladimir Evtushenkov. He has been close to other oligarchs - Mikhail Khodorkovsky, not so long ago the richest man in Russia, now on trial for alleged fraud and tax evasion, and Boris Berezovsky, who also fell foul of Mr Putin's government and took asylum in Britain.
But the prince's associations with such people do not appear to have caused any permanent damage to his relations with the elite. On his current visit he travelled, as usual, in official motorcades with police outriders and members of the Russian secret service, accompanying the Scotland Yard detective providing close protection.
Relations with British representatives in Moscow, however, appear to be more strained. During 12 years of visits to Russia, the prince has not been invited once for lunch or dinner at the embassy, and the current ambassador, Sir Roderic Lyne, was less than effusive about the latest trip. At an embassy briefing for journalists accompanying Prince Michael, he talked caustically about the royal leading yet another media "caravanserai" across the country.
Prince Michael is the patron of the Russo-British Chamber of Commerce, and the costs of the visits - including journeys within Russia on a private jet - are funded by Russian business. Their aim is to attract both publicity and investment, and the prince is regarded as a sound ally.
The obvious question is, what is in it for him? Michael receives nothing from the civil list, earning his income from business ventures. But, he insists, he does not receive a penny from these visits. When a British newspaper suggested that he had a "business link" with Mr Khodorkovsky and that this was tied to one of the trade promotion trips, it was forced to apologise in the High Court.
Prince Michael says his visits enable him to raise funds and the profile of several charities he runs in Russia. Suggestions that he may have hopes of restoring the Romanov line are dismissed. "That does not seem very likely, does it?" he said on a flight over Siberia. "Even if the monarchy was restored, there are others with better claims than I have. It is true I have a higher profile here than back in Britain. Of course there is a family resemblance to the late Tsar. I have Russian blood in me, and I have great empathy with the Russian people. They havea great resilience which we in Britain seem to have lost.
"You cannot ignore the Russian point of view, and all I'm trying to do is to create a greater understanding."

Weekend heats up across Wales
Safety advice being given by doctors, police and lifeguards ahead of surge in weather temperatures across the country.
Safety advice being given by doctors, police and lifeguards ahead of surge in weather temperatures across the country.
Public warnings have been issued by Wales' top medic, North Wales Police and the RNLI ahead of rising temperatures and long hours of sunshine this weekend.
Forecasters say there will be highs of 26C - where average temps for the year are between 18 - 20Cs.
Wales' Chief Medical Officer Dr Ruth Hussey says it is important that people wear sunscreen when outside and avoid staying in the sun too long.
"Don't forget to drink regularly - water or other cold soft drinks rather than tea and coffee - and stay out of the sun between 11 am and 3 pm."
Meanwhile North Wales Police have issued a warning to people not to be a " warm weather victim".
The force says people should 'be vigilant' and not leave doors and windows open and valuables on display.
"Days out to the beach or countryside can also bring about an air of complacency and so we are asking that all valuables are removed from cars or at the very least locked securely out of sight," it says in a warning.
Last year, Welsh RNLI lifeguards responded to 1,334 incidents and helped 1,426 people on some of the country's busiest beaches.
Stuart Thompson, Lifeguard Manager, said its advice was,"choose a lifeguarded beach and swim between the red and yellow flags, which is the area most closely monitored."
Tributes have been paid to a physiotherapist who died at the hospital where he worked after getting into difficulty off Gower yesterday.
Pet owners are urged to be vigilant after seven cats died in the Ely area of the city in two months.
A grant of £2.5 million has been secured from the Heritage Lottery Fund to rescue Llwyn Celyn, a rare late 15th-century building.

This is a beautiful and stunning mission. The grounds and flowers were amazing and the information telling about the mission was extremely interesting. I loved everything we saw while on our visit there and would not hesitate to go back again, next time we're in the area.
In many ways this was like stepping back in time. Lovely atmosphere and the flowers were incredible. The docent was very sweet.
Beautifully restored mission with many original elements still in place. Favorite hangout and burial ground of father Junipero Serra, the founder of the California missions. Conveniently close to the end of 17 mile drive coming from Monterey.
In guide books this place was described in a very positive way. It was a nice place but not as great as it has been described.
We like to visit the missions and this one is very beautiful. As you may know not all of the 21 are is great shape. The sanctuary has been restored which took several million dollars and it shows. Another is planned for 2016 for the other buildings. The museum is the usual items for missions and there is a cemetery...
Carmel Mission Is just a couple of blocks off Highway One, on Rio Road, in Carmel, California. It is one of the most beautiful and best restored of the California Missions established in the late 1700's by Father Junipero Serra. Mass is s till heard there every Sunday and on "holy days," but otherwise visitors must pay to enter the...
This is an easy to access mission if you are in the Monterey area and want a taste of mission history. The courtyard gardens are pleasant and the church contains an historic statue of Mary. The buildings are also charming with their thick adobe walks and cool verandahs. Worth an hour.
Fascinating history, beautiful gardens, peaceful ambience. Definitely worth a visit if you are on the Monterey Peninsula. You need not be religious to appreciate its beauty. For those who are religious, consideration of Father Junipero Serra for beatification makes this a place of particular significance.
The Mission contains the first library in California as well as many artefects from the...
One of the best kept Missions in California. A truly interesting experience, especially now that Father Junipero Serra has been considered for sainthood by the Vatican.
Please go in a spirit of prayer and reflection, you will find great peace. The actual gave of Saint Juniper Sierra is at the high altar. Go and make a request and he will intercede for you too!

Springlike weather this weekend in Toronto
Torontonians can sport their spring coats this weekend as temperatures climb to 10 C, according to Environment Canada.

Torontonians can sport their spring coats this weekend as temperatures climb to 10C, according to Environment Canada.
Temperatures on Wednesday will jump to 4C and then dip to 2C by Thursday. Friday will be sunny with a daytime high of 5 C. The sunshine will continue well into the weekend, with a high of 7C Saturday, and 10C Sunday.
Next week will be a little chillier, with a high of 3C Monday, and 2C Tuesday, and a chance of flurries.
"You always get those false starts where you get a few nice days then it goes back," said Weather Network meteorologist Chris Scott.
The Weather Network released its spring outlook for March, April and May, and after a long, gruelling winter chock full of snow storms it looks like Torontonians can expect warmer than average conditions.
However, Scott says this spring won't be as warm as last.
"It's going to be much more of a typical type of spring this year as opposed to what we saw last year," said Scott.
In March 2012, Torontonians experienced 12 days throughout the month where temperatures soared past 15C.

Coachella Hopefuls at USC Tricked Into Dressing Up in Costumes to Vie For Tickets That Didn't Exist
Scenery at Coachella 2011.
Check out the rest of our Coachella coverage, here.
First nude sex on a campus rooftop. And now 50 unwitting students dressed in ridiculous costumes in the center of the school near high noon. USC is on a roll.
Yeah, turns out the Skull and Dagger club pulled its annual prank last week on fans who wanted to go to the sold-out, three-day Coachella festival in the desert.
A Facebook page announced 10 tickets would go to those who showed off the best getups. They were told ...
... to show up at 1 p.m. last Wednesday and gather near the Tommy Trojan statue on campus, according to the Daily Trojan newspaper.
And that they did -- all 50 of them. Dressed ridiculously. And no, there weren't tickets.
Instead, the ticket hopefuls were treated to the unfurling of a Skull and Dagger banner.
