Pocker September 17, 2011
its always been like this. go back and look at ANY of these prefight interviews. alll the same.
Turbor37 September 17, 2011
Bad match for HUGHES …..
Clemmit September 17, 2011
These fight hype videos are getting a little bit silly now. That was so unconvincing.
BimboSlice September 17, 2011
Now that's what BJP was talking about.
Was this supposed to be hyped-up?. LOL LOL.
crackberry September 17, 2011
Looks like Josh just got tapped out by the teleprompter…
KouNTa KuLCHa September 17, 2011
Don't like him, but gotta respect him. He's a dangerous dude.
My heart is goin' with Hughes (not my money though). Love to see him pummel Kos back to the cabbage patch.♠
Corey September 17, 2011
I've always hated this arrogant little prick. I suspect he'll win, but I hope hughes takes his head off.
UFC+WWE=UFELOL September 17, 2011
straight from the scripts haha yeah pretty much. still excited im hoping hughes slams and ragdolls him
GetSome September 17, 2011
UFC is pathetic with the way they promote fights. DREAM did it the right way, at least from what I saw one time. Martial arts is about respect and being your best, not trashy "I hate the other guy" crap. So stupid now.
Watch any martial arts tournament and you will see nothing but respect. I have no idea why Dana White turned this sport into thug mentality losers fighting in it. There are plenty of good guys, but I am so sick of watching trashy losers, full of tattoos with no education, fighting each other. Maybe more should be like Rich Franklin who actually has a legit education instead of being a trashy loser with no options after fighting.
The fans are some of the biggest low-life losers as well. Just look at any MMA message board and you will see some of the biggest idiots ever assembled in one place. I will likely not be interested in this sport in a couple years, as it is now a clown show with fake marketing and average fighters. If there was real money at stake, I guarantee you more of the best would participate. I know plenty who pass on this crap because it is a joke and the money is weak compared to boxing.
Original UFC was more realistic than this stuff. Royce Gracie submitting via triangle after getting his face kicked in for 15 minutes is more exciting and more like real life. This has become pro wrestling, with the lay and pray morons running it. Change the rules and the real martial artists will thrive again, as is the case with Anderson Silva. That guy is an artist in every sense of the word.
ScifiSaint September 17, 2011
I've always hated these things. And yes they've always been this bad.
Newfie Jiujitsu September 17, 2011
well put GetSome!! completely agree!
PitfighterZ September 17, 2011
@GetSome: I know this is a rare moment, but I actually agree with you in almost everything you just wrote.
The UFC/WWE model is aimed at the pro-wrestling uneducated crowd and not at the students of martial arts or even people who like fighting as something more than pure entertainment.
In Asia, they know that the larger amount of fans they get are martial artists and real athletes. Bellator also follows that philosophy as did WEC before Zuffa and they put the best shows ever. Trash talk is for trash people who can't understand the sacrifices and pains of a career in fighting. If that's what people want, they should go watch WWE or other "pro"-wrestling b.s. and bad fighting movies.
Unfortunately, it is the uneducated masses that pay for the PPVs, and Zuffa is all about the money. Some people think that it is good for the sport to become "mainstream," but I can see the good and the bad. I still like local vale-tudo tournaments and the action in the gyms, even amateur circles, as long as you have two guys/women who know their sh*t. It's more fun to watch the new talents developing than the UFC's b.s. I watch the fights only and most often, without comments. Everything else is just "lights and clockwork."
kood September 17, 2011
Ditto Getsome
If I wanted to watch WWE, I would. Give me back the sport I loved
cc98 September 17, 2011
could care lessss, josh you suck, u cant sell me this fight..is sucks
f_u September 17, 2011
lets go double ko via head butt
Op_of_Faith September 17, 2011
Fox Network style promotion…LOL! It's weird though…I'm completely bored with guys who have to HATE the other guy to fight him, but I'm also not too impressed with the faux "I'm gonna kick his ass" speeches…Guys like GSP don't really bother with this type of stuff because they are so good they don't have to…I think-IF Kos wasn't completely mentally shattered by his GSP loss that this can be a good fight…
bodylock September 17, 2011
The guy is a competitor. What do you want him to say? " I'm gonna go out and do my darndest, and we'll see what happens?" Theres a reason he has gotten to where he is. It seems that the ufc is never going to be able to please some of you. Agreed that there need to be more fighters like Rich Franklin, he's a professional through and through.
Mexguit September 17, 2011
I agree getsome…you are very wise!
Beast w/ 8 Limbs September 17, 2011
@ PitfighterZ I remember Pride, and much of the way Dream is now, they protected many of their Japanese fighters, fixed many a fight, and put on some damn strange side show David v. Goliath fights that only served as fodder for the casual fan in Japan. If you knew Japanese culture, you'd know that there is more interest in pro wrestling in Japan than there will ever be for MMA. I agree with most of what you said, except for your comment on Asian MMA. If it were true, MMA would not be in the deplorable state it is now in Asia.
ash September 17, 2011
lol, you think dream did it right, but now they're on the verge of bankruptcy.
don't compare ufc to martial arts tournament. those tourneys doesnt make any money, doesnt have tv shows, and pay per view events. they're completely different animal
don't just sit there at home saying their marketing sucks, when you know NOTHING about marketing.
pinkelephantsmarching September 17, 2011
WOW! I am shocked that somebody actually wrote something that I can respond to for once. I have been on this site for a long time, but have only commented once because I don't waste my time with primitive thinkers. Primitive being the "nicest" adjective I can use without being a narcissistic "know it all."
Much like Will Ferrel in the movie Old School, Getsome, came out of left field with the best rebuttal ever! In regards to another poorly scripted promo by the UFC which spoke for itself.
I feel the same exact way about the subject at hand, I just hope more of the "students" step up and support the sport rather than the "neanderthals."
BaCk to tHe AtTic I Go…
cigronne September 17, 2011
A business marionette caught in the act
Dr steel September 17, 2011
God almighty let Hughes get this one and retire…
Kos is just too fast too young and every bit the wrestler Hughes ever was….
My heart wants hughes to win
Spinning pimp slap September 17, 2011
Koscheck is going to win
AFan September 17, 2011
Oh My God that was TERRIBLE! Ahahaha "I'm so excited for this fight." So flat and monotone WOW hahahaha oh man. That's good stuff
PitfighterZ September 17, 2011
@Beast: That's why I didn't mention them by name. I was referring only to the respect among fighter in their promos. I chose Bellator and WEC as better examples because, as far as I know, there is/was no fixing in those orgs.
I hope One FC, coming out of Singapore will incorporate the best of 2 worlds.
KungFuLowKick September 17, 2011
If you really beleive that kind of promoting is necesary then you should keep watching WWE.My favorite fight build-up in the UFC was Shields and GSP because they are 2 respectfull martial artists.And to what I remember the fight sold as well as the trash talking fights.
Coitus Maximus September 17, 2011
good reading Koscheck
hugemidget September 17, 2011
what a tool….the only time ever i will cheer for hughes lol..hope he destroys this tool
Genghis Khan September 17, 2011
The UFC is in the business of making robotic righters now.
Joseph September 17, 2011
Maybe he's just cross-eyed.
greengiant September 18, 2011
can't stand the douche.
ericr64 September 18, 2011
Koscheck is easy to NOT like for some reason but he's going to overwhelm old Matt bad.
This won't look pretty in Matt's scrap book.
Glory days are over.
Beast w/ 8 Limbs September 18, 2011
@Pit. Got you.
Op_of_Faith September 19, 2011
You know…has it occurred to anyone else that Kos is not saying a bunch of crazy shit? It's just occurring to me that after he took it too far with GSP…maybe he learned something…

Firefighters say It started on the back porch at a home on the corner of 10th avenue and Locust around 9 o' clock. Bryan County Emergency Management tells us the family was home at the time, but escaped without injury. They say there is extensive damage to the back part of the house.

Ben Webster and Robin Pagnamenta | TimesOnline.co.uk
The UN body that advises world leaders on climate change must investigate an apparent bias in its report that resulted in several exaggerations of the impact of global warming, according to its former chairman.
In an interview with The Times Robert Watson said that all the errors exposed so far in the report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) resulted in overstatements of the severity of the problem.
Professor Watson, currently chief scientific adviser to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, said that if the errors had just been innocent mistakes, as has been claimed by the current chairman, Rajendra Pachauri, some would probably have understated the impact of climate change.

Charity Food Bloggers Challenge Supper Club
Afternoon all, it's a loungy Sunday, I'm sitting in the conservatory with a gorgeous smelling vanilla sponge and cupcakes baking in the oven.. The house smells so good! Well after a busy day and evening on Friday for my Supper Club its only natural one should treat themselves to relaxation time!
Here's the lowdown and things you need to know;
I took part in this food bloggers challenge for Social Media Week and to help raise money towards Action Against Hunger, a great charity that I'm already fundraising for by doing a challenging trek over 26 miles of the Hadrian's wall in June with my sister.
I love to cook for people, host supperclubs and dinners at my house, we are welcoming and have a cosy environment and ambience!
I LOVE to eat, you probably have gathered this by now, being an avid food blogger, its my favourite pastime, discovering and cooking new dishes, experimenting with flavours and cooking up world cuisines.
I hosted my Valentines Supper Club on Friday 17th February, purple candles adorned tables, Bob Marley singing on the stereo, tables to fit 12 people,all placed with cutlery and new plates/glasses..what's not to love?
Preparations began during the week and I decided to narrow down the recipes I would choose from the Valentines recipes on the Great British Chefs site.
Prepping the tables…
Parmesan & Thyme Popcorn– As a pre-starter when guests arrived, I used chef Marcus Wareing's recipe for honey mustard popcorn but tweaked it to add a different combination of flavour, fresh thyme and cheesy grated parmesan. This worked so well, two bowls were gone!
Fresh Bread & Homemade Butter- A recipe I had tried before by The Fabulous Baker brothers, creamy homemade, smooth butter, made from double cream being whisked into a frenzy!
Smoked Baby Beetroot, Mascarpone and Tarragon salad–
Another Marcus Wareing dish which didn't need too much prepping, I put the beetroot into my bamboo steamer, it look over both levels of it, in a saucepan placed the sugar, tea leaves (lapsang souchong) and uncooked rice, let it heat till smokey. The beets were smoked for around 8 minutes then I left it on there for over 30 minutes to take on the flavour. It was a delicate smokey smell that protruded from these baby beets.
The balsamic was reduced down in a saucepan for an intense heat, then added extra virgin olive oil for the dressing. The walnuts were toasted in a pan with some butter for luxurious crunch.
When plating up this dish, using purple plates (great contrast for the white mascarpone, smeared on the plate) with toppling baby beets, walnuts, tarragon leaves and a drizzle of balsamic. This dish was a success with everyone! They used it to smear on fresh grilled bread, great starter. Recipe here
Chicken Legs with Wild Mushrooms & Leeks-
I chose this main because we have some fish allergies attending the supper club and so fish was off the menu! Plus I wanted to challenge myself with prepping and cooking 14 chicken pieces! I chose not to use the breasts because always find them a bit dry and wanted to try chicken legs as I could get them really juicy.
It took time to sear 14 chicken legs, to get the skin browned and crisp, set aside and all set out on baking trays to go in the oven. The sauce was about 7 finely cut slices of shallots with white wine, simmered down till soft, then placed over the chicken.
They baked in the oven for the same time and once all cooked and juices ran clear, I could prep the sauce! Which consists of cream, wild mushrooms, julienne leeks, seasoning, lemon, cubed butter and chicken juices. Every ingredients spoke for itself and the sauce took time to come together nicely, it was rich, buttery, creamy sauce with nuttiness from the wild mushrooms. Perfect with the chicken.
In addition to this dish, I got some new potatoes, sliced, boiled and sautéed at the last-minute, so everyone had hot, crispy potatoes to accompany their meal.
The chicken was moist, the wine really helped to tenderise the meat, the creamy sauce was full of bundles of flavour from the string leeks, nutty mushrooms and chicken juices. Beautiful.
Recipe is here
This dessert won a standing ovation! From one guest anyway
Passion fruit and white chocolate cheesecake with fresh orange sorbet by Chef Matthew Tomkinson
I made the orange crisps for this dessert two days prior so they had time to dry out after poaching them in sugar-water, then placing on a low heat in the oven for hours! It helped to speed the process if you don't have an airing cupboard!
The sorbet was utterly divine, fresh orange juice mixed with a sugar syrup and then placed in the freezer, couple of hours later taken out and forked up and placed back in the freezer to set.
The cheesecake was easy to make, using hobnobs for the biscuit base, I had a chunky base (you can never have enough crumble). The filling was a mixture of double cream, cream cheese, melted white chocolate and gelatin to help it set.
The passionfruit layer was passionfruit juice with gelatine and sugar, this went ontop of the creamy filling after it had set for an hour or so. This vibrant orange topping would turn to jelly.The final step was the make a passionfruit syrup, using fresh mixed with sugar and water till reduced into a concentrated flavour.
Plating up this dessert, I had realised I had made too much (not like that would be a problem!), the cheesecake slice, had a orange crisp on the side, small melon balls or orange sorbet, fresh orange segments and piped dots of passionfruit syrup.
A perfect match of white chocolate & tangy passionfruit!
Recipe here
The end of the meal, finished off with glasses of jasmine tea!!
What a great experience and opportunity to raise money for charity and do what I love most and cook for friends and family. If you liked by blog post and Supper Club experience please vote for me! x

text: 21 June, 2013 - For the head of the Hindu extremist group, Rashtriya Sawayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the Hindu radical ideology is "the only way to change" India, but a Christians leader says this is divisive and will lead to discrimination and social inequality. "The caste system and discrimination are the true face of Hindu ultra-nationalist forces. As long as there is discrimination, there can be no real development of society," said Sajan George, president of the Global Council of Indian Christians (GCIC). He was talking to AsiaNews on the recent statements by RSS president Mohan Bhagwat regarding making Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi the campaign manager of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in next year's parliamentary elections. Bhagwat said that "Hindutva is the only way to bring about change in the country." According to Hindutva, Hinduism is a logical whole that brings together ethnic, cultural and political identities. On the basis of this, the RSS has carried out acts of violence and discrimination against ethnic and religious minorities in India. "Hindutva advocates have always opposed social equality," the GCIC leader said. "How can they talk about change, if their doctrine promotes an ideology of uniformity? Or if they are the first supporters of the caste system, which is responsible for millions of Dalits living in pathetic conditions?" What is even worse, Sajan George said, is the "charade of justice at the expense Dalit Christians", who "suffer double discrimination". In 1950, parliament adopted Article 3 of the Constitution on Scheduled Caste and Tribes. Under its provision, economic, educational and social rights and privileges were granted to Hindu Dalits. Eventually, in 1956 and 1990, the same status was granted to Buddhists and Sikhs, excluding Christians and Muslims. "The living conditions of Dalit Christians," George said, "are no different from those of the other scheduled castes." The paradox is that they are denied the few extra benefits given to the country's scheduled castes on religious grounds, this in a country like India that is democratic and where state and religion are separate."

The Complete Live At Raji's (1988)
Essential Live Swansong From 2004
"The Complete Live at Raji's (an expanded double-disc set featuring the full concert) is truly remarkable. Covering the band's entire career, reaching all the way back to 1982's groundbreaking The Days of Wine And Roses (over half of which is represented), the set list is a well-chosen blend of Steve Wynn's twisted character studies and the band's neo-psychedelic guitar rave-ups. The second disc in particular focuses on the latter side of Dream Syndicate's sound, consisting entirely of half-a-dozen different jams in the seven- to nine-minute range, all of which feature only the barest minimum of aimless noodling in favor of some impressively noisy solos and some of Wynn's most raw-throated singing, especially on a near-violent climax to "The Days Of Wine And Roses." The whole thing is capped off with the definitive version of "John Coltrane Stereo Blues," Dream Syndicate's own "Sister Ray," which had never quite been captured in its full glory on tape before. Dream Syndicate were already kaput when the first release of Live At Raji's came out, but this expanded edition shows they went out at the peak of their powers." – The All Music Guide.

Removing gas pocket in sand subtrate
hey everyone,
this is only the 2nd time I've done my water change since doing my switch to a sand subtrate two weeks ago. I am using the "plastic fork" method and pretty much combing the sand....there are air bubbles coming up everywhere...I'm assuming thats what I am suppose to do. Sorry if it's a stupid quesiton, but like I said it's only the 2nd time i've done it. am I doing it right??
also, do you need to keep raking the sand until ALL the air bubbles are out of the sand every week? or just get a majority of them??
Hm. I would also like to know why removing them is important. I would imagine an occasional bubble is not a problem.
i'm just assuming that the air bubbles are the gas pockets that build up in the sand
I think you are doing it right Johnny.
I dont find any air pockets in my sand, but I think the fish and snails are doing it for me.
I get those same air bubbles when I stir my sand. I keep stirring my sand until I see no more air bubbles being released.
I have been told that if sand depth does not exceed three inches that gases (hydrogen Sulfhide) are less likely to develop. Some claim that the sulfhide reacts almost instantly with oxygen in the water and thus has little chance of harming fish. As for me,, I have around an inch of sand in 29 gal along with corys and trumpet snails who both do an excellent job of sifting the sand yet, I still sift through it on regular basis with plastic fork. I don't believe everything I hear and it gives me peace of mind to know that there is no chance of any toxins building up in dead areas harmful,, or otherwise.
thanks guys! I thought I was doing it right, just wanted to make sure!!!
because i'm little,i can't reach the bottom of my tank very well,:oops::lol:
so i use a long garden bamboo cain.or a planter stick.
I dont know the thickness of sand bed but seems too new to have develop anaerobic activities to produce Hydrogen sulfide(rotten egg smell). You can always look from underneath the tank to see if black patches are formed which can be easily removed/disturbed with slow/gentle vacuuming, even any/most toxic gas can be sucked out.
Hydrogen sulfide is very toxic gas even in small quantities as it binds to hemoglobin thus no gas exchange in their respiratory system, pretty much same process with carbon Monoxide poisoning on us and how nitrite (NO2) will have an effects on fish. I dont think if they will bond with O2. Extra aeration will drive out any gas faster from water though.
Bubbles that are escaping from sand when disturbed w/o odor can be N2 gas being released due to denitrification process where NO3 is taken and converted/reduced to N2.
Unless have deep sand bed (DSB), routine weekly vacuuming will ensure no dead zones are created..
I've been looking into the science of it lately and frankly I'm not convinced that stirring the sand is necessary. That said it's also not going to hurt anything. When I stirred my sand I used a plastic kitchen fork, the kind with two prongs. I don't believe its necessary to get every bubble out every time. Just give the sand a good once over each time you do a water change. So long as you do regular water changes you'll probably catch most of the bubbles before they become "problems".

MJ, Tink, and a story.
Years before the patent leather wrapped Air Jordan XI was conceived, Michael Jordan told Tinker Hatfield they should make a shiny signature shoe. Tinker needed a performance reason though to make it happen, as he explained on a live interview with OSD last night.
The Nike VP of Design and Innovation and long time Air Jordan lead designer eventually found patent leather as a material solution which added performance support while also boasting the glossy flair MJ had wanted to try out on his shoes. When the Air Jordan XI picture had locked into place with its gleaming patent leather rand as a focal point of the shoe, MJ predicted in an aside to Tinker that when the shoe releases to the public, people will wear it with suits and tuxedos. And that's exactly what happened.
In 1996, Boyz II Men was seeded early pairs of the polished new Air Jordan XI shoes and wore them to a nationally televised music awards event wearing tuxedos. This anecdotal backdrop to the AJ XI narrative has been well recounted by Tinker. But here's the conclusion to the story that we've never heard before.
After the Boyz II Men performance, Michael Jordan, ever the competitive spirit, placed a call to Tinker Hatfield directly. He opened with the simple line: "I told you so, motherfucker." Aw.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

I'm trying to replace the horrible brakes that came on my OCR3 with a new set of Ultegra brakes. These are last years model that came with the 9-speed Ultegra. The pads are not capable of adjusting low enough to meet the rim properly. The bottom 2/3 of the break pad hits the top edge of the rim and the top 1/3 rubs the tire which obviously isn't going to work.
It seems physically impossible to make this work. The original brakes have room to adjust the pads up and down. The Ultegras are all the way down and still need to go lower. Isn't the distance from the rim to the brake mounting point on the frame standard? Short of filing the slot longer, I'm stumped. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

|Hand Carved Doors
Carved wood doors, carved wood mantels,
nature, wildlife & traditional architectural woodcarving and wood sculpture.
Ramsey's use of sculptural high relief and three dimensional carving on carved doors and carved mantels stands above other architectural carvings.
His designs encompass the whole entry, often incorporating carved handles as well.
Ramsey's masterly applications of airbrush stain adds life, detail and dimension in a manner that no others do.
Ramsey's high relief style of door carving employs building up layers of wood 3"or more above the door surface. This adds life like dimension to the animals and foliage. The squirrel, blue jay and pine cones on this wildlife carved door are sculpted three dimensionally . Branches are then added, creating the handles of the door.
This door is carved in low relief. Ramsey starts with a stile and rail panel door and carves the design directly into the door. His technique of airbrush staining, highlights the detail, as well as adds dimension to the carving. By employing these techniques, this carved door is less time consuming than high relief doors. This allows for a more affordable, yet high quality work of art.
For the sculpted door on the left, 3" layers of wood are added to the surface of the door and carved to create 3 dimensional quality in the animals. Ramsey then adds branches and 3 dimensional pine cones to the surface of the door. The window opening is cut and a stained leaded glass window is installed with a custom made stop. The stop follows the curve and shape of the mountains on the back of the door. The sidelights are separate frames with stained leaded glass. The glass design reflects the indiginous foilage that surrounds the home.
|Aspen Entryway
This three part entry consists of two fixed sidelights and a center active door. The tree trunk carvings overlay tempered thermal glass. They are carved on both sides so the carving can be viewed from the inside as well. The branches extend across the breaks so that the whole design in integrated. The door pull is a carved tree branch. The whole entry was pre-hung and mounted in frames that were ready to install inthe clients rough framed opening. All that needed to be done was to install the trim.

We were extremely curious about trying a seaweed ice cream. While there is some precedence of using seaweeds in dessert applications, primarily in Asian cuisine, it features far more predominantly as a savory ingredient. After some tests, we settled on Palmaria Palmata (Dulse, or Søl) as the most likely candidate, for the often flowery aromatics and slight liquorish hints in can impart.Read More

New Approaches to Cinematic Identification (due 4/15/14
full name / name of organization:
Film Criticism
contact email:
Call for Papers:
Cinematic identification was once at the heart of film theory and film criticism. Jean-Louis Baudry and Christian Metz's initial and influential formulations, however, have been critiqued from two directions. Feminist film scholars initiated perhaps the most important critique of identification, that grounded in identity. Later, black, queer, and postcolonial film scholars extended this line of thinking, further problematizing the early monolithic accounts of cinematic identification. While acknowledging that processes of identification are fundamental to the cinema, their accounts sought to include subject positions other than those of straight, white males. What we had were cinematic identifications, plural, not singular.
At roughly the same time, these psychoanalytical articulations of cinematic identification were challenged. Specifically theoretical in nature, historicist, cognitivist, Deleuzean, and phenomenological criticisms argued either that the nature of cinematic identification was fundamentally different than Metz and Baudry had claimed—or that cinematic identification did not take place at all.
Processes of identification are far stranger and more complex than any accounts have yet been able to acknowledge. This special issue of Film Criticism, "New Approaches to Cinematic Identification," will draw together essays that revisit cinematic identification, re-posing it as a productive problem for theorizing about the cinema and other moving-image media.
We seek essays that open up cinematic identification of any kind as a conceptual problem, in relation to any media, in any theoretical or scholarly idiom. Possible topics may include:
—identity and identification (queers and identification, women and identification, racialized subjects and identification, etc.)
Submissions should be sent to the editors: Elizabeth Reich (Wayne State University, firstname.lastname@example.com) and Scott C. Richmond (Wayne State University, email@example.com). These should be in typical file formats (.doc, .docx, .rtf, .pdf). Please include a 250-word abstract in the email, along with a brief author bio. Submissions should be no longer than 8,000 words (including footnotes and endnotes). Submissions should be received no later than April 15.

Snake wire through old wallscomments (11) March 11th, 2010 in Blogs
Video Length: 1:31
Produced by: John Ross, Edited by Cari Delahanty
John Ross from Bethel, Conn., writes:
The walls in my old colonial have only a 1-in. cavity between the two planes of lath, and much of that space is obstructed by plaster keys. When I wanted run new electrical wires, I couldn't use a snake because it kept getting hung up on the globs of plaster inside the walls. To make a channel for the wire and to provide something to hook the wire to so I could pull it through the wall, I used a 3/16-in. by 1-1/2-in. piece of lath I purchased at the local home store. Now when I want to run wire, I locate were I want my wire to run, either from up top or down below. Then I shove the lath through the cavity, breaking the plaster keys as I go. Because of its shape, the lath keeps to a straight line. It sometimes takes some work to get the lath to an outlet or light-switch location, but once it's there, I simply attach my wire to it and pull it back through the wall.

My foremost criticism, however, is the fact that I have rarely had a nice rectangular opening above the target opening in the wall below to allow access of a wide, narrow slat. Almost always, there is a solid plate. This usually means drilling a 3/4" hole that is too small to admit a slat. While a snake could fit in the hole, the keying could certainly prevent it from passing because of the stiffness of the snake. However, I have many times successfully used utility chain for hanging fluorescent fixtures to pull the wire from the receptacle hole. This easily fits through the hole drilled in the plate, and, by "jigging" the chain as you let it down, it can descend in the wall space. Obviously, this takes some planning and patience, but it does work most of the time.
Snaking NM cable through old work spaces is always challenging, and having another potential solution in the tool box such as the slat idea is always welcome. Thanks!

As far as the lath tip goes, there are a couple reasons why I like it and we decided to include it in the Better Way tip series. First, the lath is skinny enough to slip past many obstructions that you find in old walls, insulation, newspaper, corncobs (and other rat debris), older wires, and yes plaster. Yet because of the shape, itŌĆÖs highly controllable. You can move it from side to side, back and forth and in general probe around to find a way through. This makes it useful in a variety of circumstances including times when the only way into a wall cavity is from below.
Second, like Old House GuyŌĆÖs tip, it uses something that is inexpensive to solve a problem in a clever or unexpected way. This is at the heart of the ThereŌĆÖs a Better Way tip series.
As far as busting keys off, IŌĆÖll own that one. It is ill advised to go busting off the keys without a good reason. That said, every situation has to be assessed. Remodel, especially in old houses is a messy business. Do I think clearing a 11/2-in. wide path is going to jeopardize the plaster strength? No. The plaster is on the wall and under compression. However, I probably should have warned people that if the plaster is unsound or they get crazy with the tip and have a key-busting party with their friends they might run into some problems.

This tip may make the electricians job easier but it is the same as a plumber just hacking away at framing to make running pipes easier. You do not sacrifice the structure or finish of a old house just to make the job of adding modern utilities easier.
And sometimes doing it does require some destruction. But it is better to just go ahead and make the mess and repair it then to cause hidden damage and leave.
In this case the electrician may think he saved him self some patch work but in reality he caused hidden damage that will eventually lead to someone else having to do a repair in the future. He may not care since he is gone and his check has already cleared. But it is not the way to do business.

Is anyone regularly using one of those new cameras with LEDs to view prospective cable runs, and then pull new cable in place?
Posted: 11:50 am on March 15th
First, because of its flexible nature it is easier to pull. Yes I know the connectors are a pain.
Secondly, a new pulled wire is not protected from future intrusion as is wire that was installed correctly in the original construction. How many times do we find hot wires when demolishing walls or ceiling with the use of a finely tuned sawsall blade? Boy I sure love it when I find conduit or armored cable.
For a narrow wall, I feel the tip is a good solution. Knocking off 1-2" of plaster keyway is probably not consequential but if the plaster was in poor shape to begin with I could see potential problems.

The author used the term "smake". I assume he means a fish tape. For those who don't know, a fish tape is a narrow spring steel flat wire in a reel used to PULL wire through conduit. It will make for a very frustrating day if you try to fish a wall with one, whatever the cavity depth. Because of the natural curl it will just coil up in the wall. Another case of using the wrong tool for the job.
Here's the method I've used for 30+ years.
1. Mark the location of the outlet box, and cut a hole in the wall to accept the outlet box. Be sure the box will fit correctly. (not sure what old work box you could mount with only a depth of 1")
2. Mount a work light so that it is shining into the opening.
3. In the area above (attic) locate the area directly above the outlet. If it's your own home, you can cheat by drilling an 1/8" hole into the ceiling above and inserting a piece of wire to be used as a locator. Easily plugged later.
4. If there is a top wall plate, with an auger bit drill about a 1" hole in line with the outlet box.
5. Look down your just drilled hole and you should see your work light shining into the opening. If you can't, you are either on the wrong side of a stud, or there is firestop blocking in between, making for a bad day.
6. Assuming you can see your light, attach about 6" of small chain to a length of nylon dry line. Lower this into the whole until you see the light on the chain.
7. Now go downstairs and pull the string through the opening. If you missed the alignment, you can use a magnetic retreiver with a flexible shaft to grab the chain.
8. Next, strip about 6" of sheath off of the NM-B. Cut the white even with the sheath, black about 2" longer, and leave the bare for the leader. As previously mentioned, tape from the bare to the sheath to ease the transition and eliminate the hump.
9. Attach the bare leader to the chain.
10. Go back up into the attic and PULL the wire.
It probably took longer to write this than to actually do it.

TMZ spoke with Goodrich after he filed the police report. "Basically he smashed my camera into my face … for no reason at all," Goodrich said. "All I was doing was taking his picture. I didn't say one word. I didn't get in his way."
Bruce Willis's rep claimed he was blinded by flashes and was just trying to make his way up the stairs and may have accidentally pushed Goodrich, but it was unintentional. Which reminds me, "Officer, I know I was speeding, but it was unintentional. I had no idea I was going to get caught." [tags]Bruce Willis[/tags]

Ivory Tower Intrigues
The pseudo-meritocracy of the Ivy League.
Karabel's ultimate goal in deconstructing merit is not, however, to vindicate affirmative action but to expose the hollowness of the central American myth of equal opportunity. The selection process at elite universities is widely understood as the outward symbol, and in many ways the foundation, of our society's distribution of opportunities and rewards. It thus "legitimates the established order as one that rewards ability and hard work over the prerogatives of birth." But the truth, Karabel argues, is very nearly the opposite: Social mobility is diminishing, privilege is increasingly reproducing itself, and the system of higher education has become the chief means whereby well-situated parents pass on the "cultural capital" indispensable to success. "Merit" is always a political tool, always "bears the imprint of the distribution of power in the larger society." When merit was defined according to character attributes associated with the upper class, that imprint was plain for all to see, and to attack, but now that elite universities reward academic skills theoretically attainable by all, but in practice concentrated among the children of the well-to-do and the well-educated, the mark of power is, like the admissions process itself, "veiled." And it is precisely this appearance of equal opportunity that makes current-day admissions systems so effective a legitimating device.
What, then, to do? Karabel proposes that colleges extend affirmative action from race to class, as some have tentatively begun to do, and end preferences for legacies and athletes. I am on record elsewhere as having renounced the legacy privilege on behalf of my son—not that I asked him at the time—but Karabel's own narrative has persuaded me that the elite universities are unlikely to end affirmative action for the overprivileged. If anything, The Chosen demonstrates the danger of imagining great universities as miniature replicas of the social order, and their admissions policies as simulacra of the national reward system. Yes, Harvard, Yale, and Princeton are plainly open to, and in many ways driven by, our animating national ideals; but Karabel shows us that their admissions choices are profoundly shaped by cultural, political, and economic considerations that can not be wished away. If we care about equality of opportunity, perhaps we would do better to focus our attention on the public schools, on the tax system, on such social goods as housing and health care. I don't think we can prevent meritocratic privilege from reproducing itself; we can, however, increase the supply of meritocrats.

Everyone knows the whole controversy about the Chicken and the Egg…which came first? Well, I am starting to feel that way about the current resurgence of the Women's Movement. First let me say, I am a Woman, I believe that Women should be treated as equals to men, and I want more Women in the working world in general and especially in leadership positions…because they WANT to be there.
You keep hearing influential people in the world say – – We need more women at the head of the table and in the board room...in the white house...in the Fortune 500...
I agree…to an extent.
It is not good enough to just get a 'Woman' in those positions. And in all honesty, it could be the worst thing ever! That is, if the wrong women, for the wrong reason gets there.
That's why I feel the Women's Movement is like the Chicken & the Egg issue.
Which comes first? The Woman who is motivated to get that corner office? Or the Woman that is in the corner office, therefore inspiring other's to achieve just that.
It's not just women either. I see it in men. I have seen time, and time again – where a man was promoted to the head of the table not based on his drive to be there, but for political and sometimes just because it would look good to have that guy there…and it blows up in his face.
So, I guess what I am saying is this. I am a woman, a working woman, a working woman with aspirations. I don't want to become a cause. I don't want to become a project. I do not want to be the recipient of pity…no matter how good intentioned that pity is.
I want to know I got to where I am because I worked for it. Because I refused to give up. Because I earned it. Not because I was the recipient of someones intentions of trying to fill a hole, look like they are on board with the latest trend, or because it makes them feel good to be able to say…LOOK HERE – we have a woman leading!
So as appreciative as I am for the book Lean-In (and I have read it more than once), and as inspirational it is (and believe me it is inspiration and motivating), I feel that others are starting down a path I do not wish to be a part of. I do not want this to turn into a trend, a bandwagon, a contrived podium for people to scream LOOK AT ME!
I want this to be about tapping into those individuals, those women who are hungry to improve, eager to learn, inspired to lead because of what it does to them, for the things they care about, and for others. Not because they are out to prove women can.
We know women can…we know this because…
Catherine II
Cleopatra VII
Geraldine Ferraro
Indira Gandhi
Margaret Thatcher
And take your pick from the following Forbes list. The World's 100 Most Powerful Women
For each of these, you have many more women who have worked under them.
I want to be known as the woman who got it done, because it had to be done…not because I had to prove it could be done by a woman…I already know that. Give me something else!

Focusing so much on Obama and Ayers instead of Obama and Fannie Mae CEOs Johnson/Raines is a big mistake.
The McCain Campaign and the GOP should be pounding Obama on both associations, but considering the economic turmoil is what is at the top of the headlines, Obama's connections with Fannie Mae CEOs Johnson and Raines should be receiving a hell of a lot more attention. What's more, the Ayers issue does nothing for the races down the ballot. The Democrats own this crisis – | Read More »

"The majority of [adults] are failing kids," says the Chicago teen. "They need to improve."
Bland isn't the only kid who feels this way. According to the eighth annual Teen Report Card, a survey of 1,000 Americans ages 12 to 19 conducted by the Chicago-based Uhlich Children's Advantage Network, adults' "grades" have dropped in nine of 24 "life subject" categories, including being honest, combating racism and prejudice, running the government and leading by example.
"This year's survey indicates that we as adults have a lot of work to do," says Claude Robinson, vice president of youth development for Uhlich Children's Advantage Network, a child welfare agency. "We haven't been paying close enough attention to America's teenagers."
The report card certainly suggests America's teenagers have been paying close attention to adults. This year's report card shows kids are particularly concerned with the decline in leadership from adults. Other areas where parents' grades dropped include listening and understanding young people and spending quality time with family.
Adults managed to improve in two categories-understanding why teens leave home and helping young people to cope with depression and anxiety. In 13 other areas, grades either remained the same or, for lack of data, could not be compared to the 2005 survey.
So what do parents have to do to bring their grades up? Make ourselves more approachable, share opinions, trust kids and be more accepting if kids are looking to improve, the teens said in focus groups sponsored by Uhlich.
Robinson also says parents should review the Teen Report Card with their own children, and use the discussion sheet provided at Uhlich's Web site, www.ucanchicago.org/advocacy/report_card.html, to get the feedback they need.
Bland, who went over the report with his mom, also has some suggestions: "Sit down and talk to your kids. I mean a real talk-not a lecture. Don't just tell us not to do something. Tell us why."
He adds, "The talk is only going to last an hour. But it's going to have an affect on the rest of your life."

text: The opponents of Measure A would have us believe that only a small group of long-term council members are the only ones qualified and capable of leading and deeply caring for our town. They will do anything to try and convince residents of their scare tactics. But Loomis voters are smarter and wiser than that, and they have heard the rhetoric repeatedly, and they're not buying it anymore. Measure A was put on the ballot by over 1,100 voters to empower Loomis residents to take back control of their council government and end the monopolization of decade's long control. Serving that long in any public office is detrimental for any democratic municipality. The only ones believing otherwise are the long-term council members who want to hang onto their political seats for another 20-plus years, and their groupies. The long-term Council members have held absolute power with a majority voting block for entirely too long. It's time to break up the cabal that exists in our council and prevent it from ever happening again. Vote yes on Measure A – Term Limits for the Loomis Town Council. It's legal, it's constitutional, and it's democratic. Recycle the Loomis Town Council on Nov. 2. Sonja Cupler, Loomis

It's a huge Mardi Gras weekend here in the south but bad weather postponed events in Mobile and in New Orleans Saturday and the Mardi Gras parade at the Destin Commons was also put on hold--but things in Panama City Beach carried on.
The shopping mall at Pier Park turned into a mini-Bourbon Street as thousands of residents and visitors showed up to celebrate. This weekend's festivities included a treasure hunt, costume contest and several events for the kids. Despite the threat of severe weather, the line-up of festivities continued as planned through the night.

He concluded in his talk with me: "Maybe the new Pope and his call for simplicity will help fix the musical problems in the Church too."
Are you surprised at such a reaction? Many people would be. People have tended to associate Benedict XVI with chant, and rightly so. At the same time, in the last few days since the elevation of Pope Francis, people have wondered: is Benedict's musical reform in danger? There is a real worry out there. It is palpable. It is happening among the many who are dedicated to uniting the Roman Rite with its native music, both in its proper texts and its chanted style.
Many people worry that Pope Francis will not continue the support for the Gregorian revival that has made such enormous strides in the last five years.
The new Pope's emphasis on austerity, humility, and simplicity — underscored by his choice of name and his tendency to eschew material signs of wealth or position — shouldn't necessarily be a cause for concern. No music is so simple in structure as plainsong, nothing can compare with its austerity., and every musician is profoundly aware of the humility required to defer to its role in the Church's liturgy.
There was a faction at the Council of Trent that took the idea of austerity so seriously that it wanted to legislate against all music in Mass except the Gregorian chant. They wanted polyphony out. They were against organs. Popular hymnody would have been banned completely. This was all in the name of reform to purge conceit and opulence after the crisis of the Reformation. Fortunately — and mostly thanks to the intervention of the Spanish Bishops and King — this faction did not get its way.
But the point remains: for Catholic who seek a restoration of fundamental and simple truths in faith and worship, the chant tradition has been there as a symbol of what they seek. The text is holy Scripture. The music is evocative of the text. The music is a dedicated servant of the liturgical action and not employed solely to pass the time or entertain.
Even as recently as the late 19th century, the highly influential Caecilian movement in Germany was driven by this ideal of austerity — in contrast to what they perceived as decadence of the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic traditions — to demand a central place for Gregorian chant in Mass. Their views had a big influence on St. Pius X's motu proprio on music that kicked off the 20th century rediscovery of chant.
I think, for example, of the communion antiphon for the 4th week of Lent, Oportet Te. It is tells the story of the Prodigal Son. The melody is light and almost sounds like a dance. It is an beautiful expression of the father's joy, a song perfectly integrated with its message. It's this kind of piece that reminds me that Gregorian chant truly does have folk-like origins, a liturgical art form designed to convey truth to a culture where all learning took place by hearing. It is the people's music — for 2000 years.
And yet we all know the popular perception, particularly in the United States, is exactly the opposite. Within the Catholic music world, everything is upside down. Somehow, people associate Gregorian chant with highbrow intellectualism, high-church ceremony, conservatory training, spiritual pride, aesthetic attachment to "classical" music, and snobbiness in general.
It makes no sense but there it is.
In contrast, in this upside down Catholic culture of the United States, people associate simplicity and austerity with…wait for it…amatuer guitar strumming, popular songs with made up lyrics not from scripture and not associated with the liturgical text, the absence of trained choirs, hand clapping from the congregation, unleashed ego from performers, and a kind of exuberant spontaneity of musical expression that has more recently taken the form of rock bands placed near the sanctuary playing pop music.
This is simplicity? Absolutely not. This is humility? It's anything but. There is no deference to the text and no attempt to simplify. It seems more like the embodiment of everything that the austere personality in Church history has opposed, even from the earliest Christians who tended to look with skepticism on anything but Psalm singing.
Why is the perception the opposite? The explanation probably dates to the late 1960s — a period I'll apparently never understand no matter how much I study it — and the emergence of the genre of music that was called "folk" but was in fact anything but. This fake folk music was somehow supposed to be closer to the people, opposed to the corporate music empire, a restoration of fundamentals. There was a political and protest edge to it all — wholly understandable in light of the draft and all.
In a period of liturgical upheaval, however, it was imported to liturgy and took on the same ethos. Those who played it and pushed it imagined that they were engaged in some kind of protest against artificiality, stuffy ritual, and clericalism. None of it was true actually. It was the seminary directors who pushed the musicians in this role, and there were no real barricades to push down at all. The chant has mostly evaporated from liturgy anyway in favor of vernacular hymnody.
That perception remains today. No matter how big a corporate business "Christian rock" has become, and no matter how entrenched the copyright-craving corporate elite in the Catholic publishing world are, the persistent belief is that somehow chant is elitist and canned, electronic, tap-your-toe pop music is for the rest of us.
So this is the source of the danger. If Pope Francis really is proclaiming a turn away from pomp and ritual, and claiming to want to exemplify Franciscan-style humility, can we be so sure that he will not also overthrow the enormous progress that has been made over the last years under Benedict XVI?
The evidence of the first days of the new papacy has been a sharp turn in matters of liturgy in a series of ways, most of which have been carefully chronicled by online observers. We now take it for granted that we are able to investigate every gesture, to instantly read a homily, to observe changes in vestments or the positioning of the altar.
But think of it. How much of this voyeurism is a result of technology? It simply was not possible in the past for so many to look so closely at the first days of a papacy. There is the prospect of growth here as with any new position.
What's more, chanted propers and ordinary are already deeply embedded in the praxis of Papal liturgy. To step away from that would require abandoning the liturgy itself.
I and others have long said that a major reason that chant was lost to Catholic liturgy for so long is that people just stopped hearing it and experiencing it. Now that it is heard and experienced, a growing love for it permeates Catholic culture today — more so than in half a century.
Another difference today as versus the 1960s: all the chant is online for free. It has been truly liberated. Millions know it and understand it. An entire generation of priests have come to expected it. Finally, we have chant in the vernacular today so not even the claim that Latin is elitist holds water.
So I can understand why this older priest who called me was excited. So far, he discerned that the new Pope will continue what was started and embed it in a spiritual sensibility that is supremely important to people today: a path to authenticity, simplicity, holiness, and truth.
I remember often having heard ascribed to Athanasius, bishop of Alexandria, who used to oblige the lectors to recite the psalms with such slight modulation of the voice that they seemed to be speaking rather than chanting. But when I remember the tears that I shed on hearing the songs of the Church in the early days, soon after I had recovered my faith, and when I realize that nowadays it is not the singing that moves me but the meaning of the words when they are sung in a clear voice to the most appropriate tune, I again acknowledge the great value of this practice. So I waver between the danger that lies in gratifying the senses and the benefits which, as I know from experience, can accrue from singing. Without committing myself to an irrevocable opinion, I am inclined to approve of the custom of singing in church, in order that by indulging the ears weaker spirits may be inspired with feelings of devotion. ~ St. Augustine

Am I being old fashioned if I don't want my husband to be a stay-at-home dad?
My husband's job situation has never really been stable and he recently told me that he wants to quit so he can stay home when the baby arrives. Frankly, I feel men are supposed to work. I don't want to support a grown man and a baby. I'd like us both to continue our careers. Am I being old fashioned? What should I do?

I am in a very similar situation. My husband lost his job due to lay-offs during the end of our pregnancy. We decided to give the stay-at-home dad thing a trial run, and we both like it a lot. Part of the deal is that he does everything around the house and runs errands for me during the week. That way when I am home, all I need to do is play with our baby. One thought to one person that commented- why would it seem "lazy" for him to stay home vs. a woman staying home? We are not in the 1950's anymore, we all have equal career and domestic opportunity. I think there are many pro's and con's on this type of situation, but try to find the positive and do what is best for all of you. Good luck!posted 10/05/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
Some of the comments on this board are out of control. I don't think anyone should downplay anothers situation. Every marriage/family setup is different. It all depends on personality, funds, agreements, and other needs. Some men are very nurturing, some are not. The same goes for women. Some families need to have both partners working. Some families are old fashioned, some are not. Every situation is different. Don't knock what works for others. We would all have to sit down with our spouses and figure out what's best for the entire family...posted 10/04/2005 by AngelicBabes
I feel blessed to have a husband who can and will stay at home with our son. I make more money and it is clearly the best choice for us. I am proud of him and the exceptional way he takes care of our home. He is a beautiful person and a wonderful father. Our son is so lucky to be cared for only by his parents and not have to be put into day care. I think that mom's who work should be appreciative and feel blessed of their stay at home husbands/fathers. I know I am!posted 09/26/2005 by melmills0130
We both make the same amount of money, and are thinking about starting a family next year. We both agree that, since I really like my job and he is becoming increasingly unsatisfied w/ his, it may be best for him to be a SAHD. Only problem is that I am on the road ALL the time for work, and am afraid that it will have a very negative impact on our family.posted 08/06/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
Stay-at-home with kids = Lazy? No WAY! After a gazillion years of school, I FINALLY earned my doctorate and started my career as a professor. I got my dream job at a wonderful university...and I was pregnant my 1st semester, and took leave for part of the second. My husband was working part-time and went back to school 3/4 time. When we realized that his PT check would go straight to daycare, he offered to stay at home to be primary caretaker of our son. I was relieved because I worked too long & hard for my career, but I didn't want to short-change my son (plus I had the reality of student loans to pay). My husband's proposed plan solved it! Note - before we got married, our roles were already non-traditional. Since I spent 60-80 hrs week working full time & on my degree, my husband did the cleaning and the cooking. He even brought dinner to my job on late nights. His cleanliness standards are better than mine, AND he's a better cook too. I'm better at grocery shopping and finances. Our marriage is a true partnership...and our parenting approach is the same. Is he a wimp? Heck NO! My husband is a muscular 6ft 215 pound former professional football player...and still looks the part (complete with 6-pack abs). We joked that he was in better physical shape for pregnancy than I! When I asked how he felt about the switching of social roles, his response was beautiful! He replied "What more could a man want than to be REALLY engaged in raising his own son?" It brought tears to my eyes! Yes, there are times his manhood is questioned by others...although few would dare to say so in his face! He has his down days. But one needs only to see the loving exchange between him and our 3-month old son, and understand how wonderful the arrangement is. Besides, my hubby thinks that deep down inside, more men wish they had the opportunity to do the same...and he feels lucky that we're able to afford living off just my income. So my baby gets the best of us! Pumped breastmilk during the day from Daddy...and I nurse him at night. Our son is a happy camper!posted 03/17/2004 by Dr-JoMc
With mine and my husbands first son, he ended up staying at home with him. Everyday in the morning I would have our son ready with diaper changed and a bottle for my husband so it would be a little easier for his day. Every time for lunch I would spend my hour at home, helping him out somemore but he would always have our son asleep taking a nap. When the day was over I was back to work as a mom. The best thing about it is, is all night long whenever I got up for the baby, he got up too and he did the late night running downstairs to get the bottle ready and sometimes help to change the diaper. The fact of life is that parenting is a two person job no matter who is working. Most husbands don't come home for lunch to help you and they don't take over once they get home. I think that a woman working helps a man grow the bond that we had for nine months. Better to have one that actually stuck around for the responsibility.posted 11/16/2003 by TooProudMomma
I think it depends on the man. If a man is dedicated to being a Homemaker, is devoted to the kids and contributing to the wellbeing of the household like cooking, cleaning, chores, and KEEPING THE KIDS AWAY FROM SCREENS, then one can't complain- he should stay home if the mom has a better job. However, there are situations (like mine), when the man is home not by choice, and does NOT enjoy being a Homemaker. Then, you may find he is "lazy," and it may be worth it for him to get out of the house and into a job that at least covers the cost of day care. It really depends on the specific man and his personality/talents/ inclinations.posted 05/20/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
I don't know what to say without knowing more facts -- it's not clear whether his spotty employment history bothers you, or whether you really want to be the one to stay home, or whether you really do need to incomes (as my family does -- our salaries are almost 50/50, so if either of us stayed home we'd have a lot of trouble making ends meet). My husband would love to stay home with our daughter, and if I made more money I would be thrilled for him to do so. He's a great dad, and he isn't very happy in his job and would be happier at home. Plus, I had 13 months' maternity leave to spend with our daughter, while he got hardly any time off, which doesn't seem very fair. Honestly, I do think it's old-fashioned to insist that he can't be a stay-at-home parent just because he's a man. But if he earns a lot more than you do, it doesn't make financial sense for him to be the stay-at-homer. I think you need to do the math and really talk out these issues before making a decision. Good luck!posted 04/02/2004 by ShainasMom
Hi Janee, Not sure if this is your first baby but it is hard (emotionally) to send them to daycare when they are young particularly when they are still babies. I have a seven month old. When he was three months old we tried to put him in daycare when I went back to work after maternity leave. My husband and I took him out after only one month. My husband quit his great paying job to be a stay at home dad. He loves it but I too think men should work. I'm not forcing him to go back to work because I know that this is only for a few years and my son is benefiting. I'm just happy that my income is enough to get us through the monthly bills. Not many kids are lucky enough to have a parent home with them. Good luck!posted 04/19/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I totally understand how you feel! I am really irritated with the fact that my partner is a stay at home dad! I am missing everything and it seems like the baby likes him way more than me. He cries everytime I get near him! It's even more upsetting because he has the nerve to complain about being bored all day while I work at my job that I cannot stand and should be getting paid way more than I do! It's hard work to stay at home too, being a caregiver is a full time job! But still, I wish that I could stay home. It kinda sucks too because I want more kids, but if this is the way things are gonna be- forget it! Still, I am scared to put my son in daycare, and our families are over 3 hours from us so we are all alone!posted 04/16/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
