This review is from: BUFFALO LS-WV4.0TL/R1-R 4TB (2x2TB) LinkStation Pro Duo RAID 0/1 Network Storage
Pros: I'm sure there would be many, if it worked.
Cons: I cannot find my NAS on my network. It flashes red etc....
Other Thoughts: When I go to the site to download the software, (since i guess refurbs don't come with them) it said my serial is invalid. I call tech support and they tell me that since my serial has letters in it, it probably means the NAS was assembled outside the USA so they can't help me. They also apparently can't tell me where to get help.
Did you find this review helpful?
Good... some assembly required.
This review is from: BUFFALO LS-WV4.0TL/R1-R 4TB (2x2TB) LinkStation Pro Duo RAID 0/1 Network Storage
Pros: Huge capacity, low price, decent to exceptional software (NasNasvigator is really quite good...), torrent client, dlna, etc...
Cons: Noisy, slow wish transfer rate.
Other Thoughts: Mine arrived with a corrupt firmware and I spent 4 hours connecting to the unit through TFTP to force a firmware update. Not exactly simple and a bit frustrating, but it was as bargain, and a refurb, so I think 3 eggs are fair... Still recommended but keep in mind its not perfect.

Working thus far
This review is from: BUFFALO LS-WV4.0TL/R1-R 4TB (2x2TB) LinkStation Pro Duo RAID 0/1 Network Storage
Pros: Very small, quiet, nice looking interface, easy to manage.
Cons: The refurbished units do not come with backup software, the description on Newegg states Nova with license for 5 computers but the flyer in the box states that the refurbished units do not have a license for anything - I was dissappointed in this aspect hence the 4 out of 5. I also think the 90 day warranty on it should be 1 year.
Other Thoughts: Have had this operational for less than a week and haven't had time to explore all of the functionality but the small size and quiet operation will meet my needs, as stated do not buy this if you need the backup software as the refurb's don't come with it, boo!

Modernising One Village in Afghanistan
Emadi, Hafizullah, Contemporary Review
MODERNIZATION in the Western World did not normally originate from the top but from below, through grass-roots participation in the economic, social, cultural and political arenas. Development trends were different for countries of the developing world; in these societies change originated and was implemented from above by the state, with little or no public participation or significant involvement in the process. The authoritarian state in the developing world neither provides opportunities for the public to participate in the development processes nor consults the public regarding their needs and priorities. The logic of the state, with regard to development, centres on the notion that the masses, due to their lack of education or sophistication, are not in a position to articulate their needs. The state then proceeded to take on its self-appointed role to define what communities needed and what type of development projects must be initiated. Development policies that are imposed from the top in this fashion have failed to transform the entrenched socio-political structure and its corresponding politics, ideology, culture and traditions.
Development has largely been defined in terms of economic achievements that lead to improvements in the standard of living of the people. Such a definition limits the perspective to mere economic determinism, because it does not view development as the totality of change and improvement in culture, politics, and social consciousness. Development in these areas also requires establishing a good governance system; a government which is accountable to the public. Scholars, policy makers and development practitioners have tended to postulate that considerable transfers of resources would contribute to economic development and effectively eradicate rampant poverty and backwardness. They did not recognize or consider the dialectical link between the transfer of resources and the establishment of socially responsible systems of governance based on active public participation in the process.
This article studies policies of the state toward the Hazarajat region, located in the central part of Afghanistan, and explores how development policies pursued by the dominant ethnic group, the Pushtuns, controlling the state apparatus deprived the region of social, political, economic and cultural development, suppressed their voice and denied the people the right to participate in the social, economic and political affairs of the country. It also studies how collaboration between the public and non-governmental organizations, NGOs, has contributed to the transformation of the lives of the Hazaras in one of the very remote and inaccessible villages, Acha Mazar, in the Waras district of Bamiyan province, and effectively ended the village's centuries-old geographic isolation, linking it with cities and towns in the country as well as the global village community.
Socio-Political Repression of the Hazaras
Hazaras primarily reside in the region known as Hazarajat. Bamiyan is one of the provinces in the central region of Afghanistan that is inhabited by the Hazaras. The word Hazarajat means the land of Hazaras, one of the ethnic groups that comprise the ethnic mosaic of the country. They have been settled in the region since time immemorial. There are different theories concerning the origin of the Hazaras. For example J. P. Ferrier argues that Hazaras had settled in the region since Alexander of Greece and his army conquered Afghanistan. H. W. Bellew maintains that Hazaras are descendents of the Mongols when Genghis Khan invaded Afghanistan and after Genghis Khan's army settled there they adopted the local culture, religion and language. Schurmann and Timorkhanov argue that Hazaras are a mixture of different racial groups such as Mongolian and Turks as the Mongol invading army conquered the region during the latter half of the thirteenth century and they gradually were assimilated into the local population. …

Silvia's Riziki Group
In the past, Silvia took two loans from Tujijenge Tanzania to revive her chicken business when it was struggling to make a profit. She now hopes for a new loan to buy more chicks and feed for the chickens. She will share this loan with her loan group Riziki, which totals 19 members who guarantee each other in paying back their loans.
In the picture, Silvia is in the second row, third from the left.
Additional Information
About Tujijenge TanzaniaThis loan is administered by Tujijenge Tanzania, which was founded in 2006. It has operations in Dar es Salaam, the coastal region, and the Lake Victoria region. The organization aims to reach out to micro entrepreneurs and provide them with financial and social intermediation services because capital is one of the major barriers to development and success for micro-enterprise initiatives in Tanzania.
For more information on Tujijenge Tanzania, please visit its partner page, or join its lending team.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

The Extraordinary Questioning and Detention Powers of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation
Burton, Lisa, McGarrity, Nicola, Williams, George, Melbourne University Law Review
[The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Legislation (Terrorism) Amendment Act 2003 (Cth) is the most controversial piece of anti-terrorism legislation passed by the Commonwealth Parliament. The Act created a system of warrants that permit the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation to question and detain non-suspects for the purposes of gathering intelligence about terrorism offences. This regime is subject to a sunset clause and will expire in July 2016, unless renewed by Parliament. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the process by which warrants are issued and the powers conferred by them. It finds that the regime is insufficiently tailored to its purpose of protecting Australians against terrorism. In light of this, and evidence about how the powers have been used, the article concludes that these extraordinary questioning and detention powers should not be renewed without significant amendment.]
CONTENTS I Introduction II Development of the Special Powers Regime III Process of Issuing a Warrant A Basic Criteria for Warrants B Additional Criterion for Detention Warrants C Additional Criteria for Repeat Warrants D Additional Criterion for Warrants against Minors IV Nature of the Powers A Questioning 1 Questioning Process 2 Time Limits on Questioning 3 Coercive Nature of Questioning B Detention C Access to a Lawyer D Secrecy Provisions 1 Restrictions on Communications Per Se 2 Restrictions on the Content of Communications V Use of the Special Powers Regime VI Conclusions
The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Legislation Amendment (Terrorism) Act 2003 (Cth) ('ASIO Amendment Act') conferred extraordinary new powers on Australia's domestic intelligence agency, the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation ('ASIO'). It did so by inserting a new pt III div 3, 'Special Powers Relating to Terrorism Offences', into the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Act 1979 (Cth) ('ASIO Act'). The ASIO Amendment Act was part of a package of anti-terrorism legislation introduced by the then Coalition government after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, DC. Among other things, the package introduced into Australian law a definition of 'terrorist act', (1) criminalised terrorist acts and a broad range of preparatory conduct, (2) provided for the proscription of terrorist organisations, (3) established a new regime for dealing with national security information in court proceedings (4) and vested new powers in intelligence and law enforcement agencies to investigate terrorism. (5)
The ASIO Amendment Act is one of the most controversial pieces of legislation ever passed by the Commonwealth Parliament. (6) It was, and remains, unique in the Western democratic world in that it establishes a system ('Special Powers Regime') whereby an intelligence agency may coercively question and detain a non-suspect citizen. (7) The controversial nature of the Special Powers Regime is demonstrated by the long and tumultuous process of its enactment. Few pieces of legislation have been the subject of such a high level of scrutiny by the Commonwealth Parliament, parliamentary committees and the public generally. (8) At a total of 15 months from introduction to passage, (9) the parliamentary debate on the Special Powers Regime was the second longest in Australia's history. (10)
As enacted, the Special Powers Regime was temporary in nature. A sunset clause was included such that the powers expired after three years. (11) However, in 2006, the Commonwealth Parliament renewed the powers and added a new 10-year sunset clause. (12) The then Coalition government justified the length of the renewed sunset clause on the basis that there was still a threat of terrorist attack and it was undesirable to distract ASIO from its operations any more frequently than necessary. …

Education in the age of rising fees and speed learning
In a controversial essay published on the Core 77 website in 2010 ('Why Design Education Must Change'), the author and design commentator Don Norman wrote: 'New skills are required, especially for such areas as interaction, experience, and service design. Classical industrial design is a form of applied art, requiring deep knowledge of forms and materials and skills in sketching, drawing, and rendering. The new areas are more like applied social and behavioral sciences and require understanding of human cognition and emotion, sensory and motor systems, and sufficient knowledge of the scientific method, statistics and experimental design so that designers can perform valid, legitimate tests of their ideas before deploying them.'

Hello! Just finished the TMM book and am already working overtime this week and dh has some side jobs lined up. WOO HOO!! My question is, do you suggested we pay off our medical bills first as part of the "becoming current" part of the plan or would you suggest I include them in our snowball of debt? We talking about a total $700 in various bills and copays. I woudl love any suggestions or advice you may have!! TIA!!
New to board - Hi! And medical bill question
Wilson 4/3/05

I don't understand. Are the bills overdue?
Melissa - Homeschool mom of 6
Join me on the We're Debt Free board!
I'm a little confused also on the $700. Is your medical debt overdue? Or are you anticipating medical expenses? Are your other bills past due as well?
None/Select/Delayed Vaccinations? Need support? Follow me!
Harry Potter fan? Visit the Harry Potter board!!!
Some are past due but not to the point they are in collections. They all happened with in a couple weeks of each other. Some have payment arrangements that I could budget it and others are $50 or less that I coudl pay off one by one. Does that help at all?
Wilson 4/3/05
All our other bills (utility, mortagage, insurances, etc) are current. Thanks guys! I stink at money which is kinda how I ended up here in the first place!
Wilson 4/3/05
If you're on a payment plan, it goes into your snowball list (smallest to largest total amount owed) and is part of your regular budget. The small ones I'd just get rid of asap - no point in having them messing up your budget for a month or two lol. Don't forget to save for the bef first!!
Tawnia SAHM to Jacob (7) and Peter (5)
Hang out here, and we'll steer you straight! And, we'll give you tough advice, but you'll love us for it, because we'll cheer you on the whole way!

I hate medical bills and we have plenty. My youngest has a chronic condition that requires very expensive medication (1 dose = $300-400, three+ times a week, and that's only because he's small yet).
My suggestion is if it's a one time thing, then yes pay off as many of the small ones in full as you can, then set up payment plans that YOU can afford for the others. Don't let them jerk you around on payment plans either! In my state, if you say you can only afford to send in $10/mo and they cash your check, they are agreeing to your terms and can't send you to collections as long as you stay current. They may say they can only go as low as $25/mo or something like that but if you have a lot of bills from multiple facilities like we do, it can be hard to swing a $25/mo payment on each one every month.
Since we will be in medical debt for as long as our ds's medical care is our responsibility, we don't have much sense of urgency on paying them off. It's just a budgeted amount every month like the utility bill...
Mi, Lucky Photographer Mama to 2 NativeBabies
Thank you for the advice on the medical bills. My son had some testing done due to chronic bloody noses and we found out he had a platelet issue. It all turned out okay but that same month both he and my husband ended up in the ER and this was on top of my son's regular 4yr old check up, my own yearly exam and dh's cortizone shot for calcium deposits in his shoulder. I tell ya, that was one crummy month!! LOL!
And I'll take all the tough love I can get! LOL! So thank you in advance!

On Yeezus, Kanye West professed, "I Am A God," and now, the rapper seems to be taking it to a "God Level," with his new track.
The song first surfaced over the weekend as part of an Adidas commercial for their "All or Nothing" campaign. The ad included only a snippet, but the company reportedly uploaded a longer version to their Soundcloud account — and it was then ripped and posted to YouTube by fans. But just as quickly as the fan-uploaded version surfaced, it was taken down.
The extended song, which still clocks in at under three minutes, doesn't include many more lyrics than what we already heard. Instead, it's mostly an extension of the beat, which was reportedly produced by West, Hudson Mohawke, 88-Keys, Mike Dean, and Noah Goldstein.
"You see it's sharks in the water/ And they ain't tryna do nothin' but put c–ks in your daughter/ Don't say nothin' 'bout what 'Ye said/ Don't move motherf–ker, play dead," Yeezy raps, over a dark, percussive beat.
This certainly seems like an extended version — but that doesn't mean it's the "full" version. Those familiar with Kanye West and his music know that the Chicago native is incredibly meticulous when it comes to his output, and oftentimes is working on songs until the final hour.
"Nobody heard that full version yet," tweeted Mowhawke, teasing to a more evolved version of the song, which we can't wait to hear.

Christmas Wood Craft - Paper Napkin Decoupage - Wooden Angel Heart Decoration
This cute angel can decorate your own home or be created for a special friend or loved one.
For this project you will need:
- 6mm thick plywood for the heart- 2 paper napkins with similar to the example napkin below or other motif of choice- air drying / hardening modelling clay- rolling pin- paper napkin applique or decoupage glue- kitchen knife- paint brush and paint matching motif- paint brush for glue- wood glue- drill with bit for drilling holes- twine for hanging
The paper napkin used for this project has four completely different motifs and inspires one to create four of these hearts right away. That way you will have a couple of last minutes gifts on the side if you need them.
1. To create the heart decoration, follow the directions in the paper napkin applique tutorial link below. You need one complete napkin quarter to apply to the wood. Let motif completely dry before continuing.2. Saw the heart out and paint the edges with a matching color.3. Select a detail of your napkin you wish to use as the 3-D effect. To create the 3-D motif, follow the steps 1-3 in the directions in the using modelling clay for 3-D figures tutorial in the link below. 4. While the clay is still semi-soft, use the blunt side of a knife and press in details carefully to add a more realistic look to the figure. See picture below for technique.5. Let the clay motif dry overnight. The next day, glue the motif permanently onto the heart.6. Drill a hole in each top heart half and add twine to hang it up.
While the clay is still semi-soft, use the blunt side of a knife and press in details carefully to add a more realistic look to the figure.
3-D Detail of the angel - It really looks dimensional with the clay addition.

|Theatre Cedar Rapids To Open 12-13 Season with Disney Musical August 9, 2012
|News Releases - Stage & Theatre
|Written by Richie Akers
|Friday, 27 July 2012 12:11
Theatre Cedar Rapids Announces
Disney's Camp Rock: The Musical
August 9, 2012 - August 19, 2012
July 27, 2012 - Cedar Rapids, Iowa - Theatre Cedar Rapids is proud to announce the upcoming production Disney's CAMP ROCK: The Musical, opening the 2012-13 Season on August 9, 2012. The production runs at 7:30pm on August 9,10,11 and August 15,16,17,18, in addition to 2:30pm matinees on August 12 and 19. Tickets are priced from $20 to $30 for Students and Adults, and can be purchased at www.theatrecr.org or via the TCR Box Office.
After the hugely popular success of Disney's High School Musical in 2008 (and later reprised in 2009) TCR is expecting sold out performances of this newer stage musical offered with the Disney namesake. With an intense amount of dance choreography, the cast could be referred to as a "cream of the crop" of local high school show choir talent, representing lead soloists and dancers from Cedar Rapids, Marion, Linn-Mar, and surrounding communities. The "Camp Rockers" have been seen all over Cedar Rapids in recent weeks, on the Downtown Farmers Market stage, singing the National Anthem at the Cedar Rapids Kernels, and participating in several "flash mobs" at area downtown businesses.
The production is Directed and Choreographed by Cedar Rapids native Lovar Davis Kidd. Mr. Kidd is no stranger to the stage; he most recently performed in the 2011-2012 National tour of the Tony award-winning musical In The Heights. This production is Mr. Kidd's directorial debut at TCR. The directorial team includes Alex Shields (Musical Director), Hannah Spina (Assistant Director), and Bentlee Birchansky (Production Assistant). The set and lighting was designed by Derek Easton (Technical Director), sound by Shawn Poellet, and the costumes by Marnie Marshall. Scenic artistry and props for the production were designed by Daniel Kelchen.Casting highlights include Timmothy and Emmy Palmersheim, a father and daughter from Cedar Rapids who have performed musical gigs locally as a duo, but will take the production stage together for the first time playing roles in Camp Rock. TCR veteran alumni Tina Monroe is also a featured adult member of the cast. Several of the youth cast members were featured in last summer's successful production of 13, including Meredith Diebold, portraying the lead in the role of "Mitchie" in Camp Rock.
Disney's CAMP ROCK: The Musical, based on the hit Disney Channel Original Movies Camp Rock and Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam (starring teen idols Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers) will fire up the stage with over a dozen songs, including "This Is Me," "Can't Back Down," "It's On," and "We Rock." A classic story of rivalry and power, Disney's CAMP ROCK: The Musical opens with Mitchie and her friends arriving at Camp Rock, ready to spend another summer jamming out and having the time of their lives. But the new, flashy Camp Star across the lake now threatens Camp Rock's very existence. To keep the doors open, Mitchie steps up, rallies her fellow Camp Rockers, and gets them into top shape for the ultimate showdown!(MTIshows.com)
TCR's production of Disney's CAMP ROCK: The Musical is proudly sponsored by Penford Products and Wells Fargo Bank.

David Blythe
Good morning everyone. On the call with me today is Doug Shepard, our Executive Vice President, and Chief Financial Officer, [Jessica Huff] our Vice President and Financial Controller and [Brian Saturski] our Senior Vice President, General Council, and Secretary.
Before I begin with my remarks, Brian will make a few statements.
[Brian Satarski]
Our call may include forward-looking statements. Examples made include statements of our strategies, initiatives, and business plans, adjustments to our cost structure, financial outlook and capital resources, competitive factors, business and industry expectations, economic downturns in the U.S. and other economies and other statements that are not historical facts.
Actual results may differ materially from those projected or implied in these statements because of various risks and uncertainties including those described in our most recent Form 10-K and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the cautionary statement in today's earnings release.
Our call may also include non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to today's earnings release for the required reconciliations and other related disclosures. Our earnings release is available on the investor relations section of our web site at www.harte-hank.com. I'll now turn the call back over to Dean.
David Blythe
As noted in the press release today, we released our second quarter results 90 days ago and we said that our customers were "becoming cautious with their spending plans in the face of extreme economic uncertainty."
Well, 90 days later the extent we have any lessening of uncertainty in the external economic environment has been replaced by bad news. Today, it is difficult to know with any degree of confidence what impact the current economic upheaval will have on our businesses for the remainder of this year and into 2009. Uncertainty is the prevailing description we are hearing from our customers regarding their spending plans in the coming quarter.
Our operating assumption therefore is that the revenue environment will be difficult and we will operate our businesses accordingly. We firmly believe in the fundamental effectiveness and efficiency our businesses provide. We provide tremendous value to our thousands of business customers whether they're Fortune 100 companies, midsize, private businesses, or small entrepreneurial businesses.
And these are across a wide range of industries that operate in our international market, nationwide, domestically and in local markets. Precisely because we operate across such a wide range of industries and sizes of customers, there is no doubt that the external economic environment will negatively impact our performance.
As for the length of this impact, we simply cannot predict this until there is a return to some stability in the markets. We do know that in direct marketing we saw some impact in the third quarter and that we will be impacted in the current quarter. Our expectation is that the environment will certainly continue into 2009.
This external outlook dictates our internal response. We are aggressively reshaping and reducing our infrastructure costs to reflect reduced levels of economic activity and we will relentlessly focus on flawlessly delivering our products and service to continue to provide value to our customers.
Doug will now give you some more detail on our results.
Douglas Shepard
Here is a company wide overview of the third quarter. Revenues decreased 5.9% for the quarter with an increase of revenues for direct marketing and a decrease of shoppers. Direct marketing revenue increased 0.7%. Shoppers' revenues decreased 17.1%.
Moving to operating income it decreased 21.9% for the quarter. The quarter's Direct Marketing had an operating income decrease of 3.9% while Shoppers declined 68.6%. Direct Marketing operating margin was 14.5% and Shoppers operating margin was 8.5% for the third quarter.
Free cash flow was $22.3 million versus $25.6 million in the third quarter of 2007. We spent $4.1 million in capital expenditures compared to $6.6 million in the third quarter of 2007.
Turning to our two businesses; for the third quarter of 2008, our Direct Marketing revenue increased 0.7% and operating income decreased 3.9% resulting in an operating income margin of 14.5% for the third quarter of 2008 which is a decreased compared to an operating margin of 15.2% for the third quarter of 2007.
In the third quarter, our retail vertical represented 26% of Direct Marketing revenue. High/tech Telecom was 26%, select markets were 22%, financial 16% and healthcare/pharma was 10%. Our top 25 direct marketing customers represented approximately 43% of direct marketing revenue in the third quarter. Our largest customer in the quarter represented almost 8% of our total direct marketing revenue.
Turning to Shoppers; our third quarter total revenue decreased by 17.1%, about half of the revenue decrease was attributable to abandoning circulation of approximately 250,000 in August. Operating income for the quarter declined 8.5% as compared with 17% with the third quarter of 2007. The decrease in operating income margin was primarily driven by a 490-basis increase in postage. Since postal costs are directly tied to circulation, the increases resulted in declining revenues; we saw a slight decrease in circulation in the third quarter compared to 2007.

"You need to pick this up, your baby will get into this." I'm 5 weeks pregnant. We have a good 14 months before our baby starts crawling. I'm sure I'll clean up sometime in the next year & make our house baby proof. Jeez.
Comments (9)
Oh, it'll only get worse with the advice from here! lol Mothers are gonna mother ;)
Sometimes I wrestle with my demons.
Sometimes we just snuggle.
Moms can be more stressful than the entire birthing process! My mom lives states away, I told her I had a stomach ache a couple of days ago and she started freaking out, I said IT'S NOT MY UTERUS! Then she called my Aunt, who then called me and asked me if I have this or that and if my eggs are expired yadayada, and to keep them posted. Jeesh! I didn't even tell my mom when I was in labor with my son, or anyone for that matter, but especially her. It was nice not having people calling, texting, worrying all day. We just made calls and texted pics right after to say hey he made it and we are both healthy! My mom would've been a total basket case miles away.
As for baby proofing. I honestly haven't really done much. I have one baby gate because the roof has a leak and is leaking into our entryway so we have a couple buckets set out and I don't want him getting into them, there are little socket plugs in most of the sockets, but I don't even get that....he'd need to get his hands on a screwdriver or something else metal to even hurt himself there. Otherwise, I just redirect him, distract him, watch him, tell him no, don't, or stop, etc. I have a friend with a 3 year old who she still won't let go up and down stairs. Baffles me. My 15 month crawls up them, but will walk if we hold his hands, we just want him so he doesn't go up or down them by himself and he listens really well if we tell him no. I think when you keep kids away from things they just want to do it more!
Me (31) + Him (32) married 10/27/07
DS - born 7/23/12 (32 weeks) 4 lbs. 13 oz. 18 in
DS - born 5/18/15 at (35 weeks) 6 lbs. 5 oz. 19.75 in
Yeah, my dad works for what once was known as CPS. He insists on making us a list every time he visits.
I find it funny and do as he suggests, but hubby isn't as amicable. This is the only thing he's territorial about with my father. Otherwise, they're great together.
My mom freaks out over stuff I know for a fact my son doesnt want to touch or cant reach.
Next time smile and say, "THANK YOU! I was so worried I'd be overbearing but you've shown me how to be a relaxed Mom."
married 6~5~10
first time mom due 7~16~13 yay!

We still need to run the numbers on various scenarios, but for anyone who had to make this decision, how did you make it?
Becoming a stay at home parent for financial reasons... How to make the decision?
We still need to run the numbers on various scenarios, but for anyone who had to make this decision, how did you make it?
We ran the numbers, then ran them again, and then again. But then we kind of hit a wall where the logistics of the two of our jobs kind of made the decision for us (both of us had local travel and worked close to 60 hours a week, and were having trouble covering sick days). Since DH outearned me by 2x at that point and had much greater earning potential, I quit my job.
I worked very part-time for about 2 years (making less than $5K a year by the end) and then quit altogether about a year ago.
In retrospect I wish I would not have quit completely, in part because i don't think I'm SAH material long-term, but also because now that I'm trying to get back in I'm realizing that I'm likely going to have a pretty significant commute and/or a somewhat significant pay cut/ demotion in job title.
We also lost access to my 401k and benefits, which didn't seem like a big deal at the time. But now that we're on BS4/5 we would really use that retirement space...
So, there are definitely more considerations than today's budget, with regards to retirement goals, long-term earning potential and employability, etc. Sometimes it does make sense to take the hit in the short-term (ie. one spouse would be bringing home very little after childcare costs, in the short-term) for the sake of meeting long-term goals.
I suggest posting a budget, but realize that part of this is also a lifestyle decision that no one else can really answer for you.
Good luck!

We did it for financial reasons too. After we ran the numbers it was apparent that we didn't need my income, because there wasn't any after tax, daycare & gas.
I wouldn't recommend making the choice based purely on finances. Being a SAHM is a lot harder for me than working was.
( o ) ( o ) and counting
He will, but it is only 1/2 day in our district. If we both continue working full time, his aftercare costs will be nearly $900/mo... this isn't much less than what we pay for him now in daycare! I will be honest... when planning this baby, I was not expecting aftercare to be that expensive. We probably would have waited an extra year if that was the case. I hate that daycare costs factor so heavily into family planning, but I guess it is what it is :/
daycare is not forever...people who budget soley on gas, lunches, clothing costs are seriously missing the big picture.
Daycare for 2 kids for me 3 years ago was 600 every 2 weeks now its 325 every 2 weeks.... so I have a lot more income coming in.. next year i will be 225 every 2 weeks and the next year 200 every two weeks.
YOu need to look at: taxes, insurance, retirement, spending, daycare long term, college fund, home/care expenses etc.. i dont spend a lot working because I make my own lunch 99% of the time and thanks to Pinterest I can "trendy" up a lot of things and shop during sales.

What other benefits come with his job? Is it a field he would want to return to? How long would he stay home? Does he want to stay home? Does he get that it's a lot of household responsibility, not just childcare ?
Remember that you need to think long term too: If you want to get another job, will you be able to? What about retirement contributions? What about getting Social Security credits?
For me, I'd need to weigh the non-financials too. Do you WANT to stay home? What value do you place on having a parent home with the kids?
(edit: replace "you" with "he" -- I was thinking more generally, not specifically meaning you. )
O no, I had this big post written, but then the page refreshed before I copied it!!
Yes, I do want to post a budget. Unfortuantely, I'm still trying to figure out what that is at the moment! I signed up for Mint around the new year, so I have a few months of data now. However, our spending seems to fluctuate quite a bit month to month, and we just paid off some major credit card debt that accumulated when I went back to school, so it is throwing me off. I'm going to try and organize that in the next couple of weeks though.
My DH's job is just that... a job. He is hourly at a factory, and although it pays alrigth for what it is, it is not a career track position as there is virtually no opportunity for promotions or growth. It also wears him out physically, so even if OT continuted to be offered in the Fall, he's not sure he would be able to handle working as much as he does now once the baby arrives. He gets healthcare/dental benefits, some very minimal vesting in a 401k (a 401k that I've questioned, but I'll save that for a separate post), and about 2 weeks of PTO time through work. Most of our benefits come from my job.
He just recently finished trade school for HVAC and is looking (and would continue to look even if he stayed home) for a position in that field. However, he's hasn't had much luck, so his plan was to stay with his current employer until he found something. I think him being unemployed may make it harder to find something, but I'm not sure how much harder than how it is now.
My job is the complete opposite. I love my career, and although I'm not where I want to be on the "ladder" at the moment, I think I will continue to work my way up. But to be honest, I'm concerned that my need for schedule flexibility (e.g., working from home if one of the kids is sick, later start time to allow for daycare/school drop-offs, etc.) could limit my opportunities, not to mention it does distract me from my current job. I feel a little selfish thinking those things, but it is true.
DS's aftercare costs will drop once he hits 1st grade from about $900 to $400-450. That is a much better scenario. However, he does have some behavioral problems that really come to the forefront when he is at school. We are working on it, but I'm starting to fear that him being in a school setting for that long may end up being detrimental to him. I don't really know though.
In terms of taxes, does anyone know of any good online calculators I can use to evaluate out tax situations? I am a numbers person, but I still have difficulty with this on my own.

Every man hath the right to doubt his task, and to forsake it from time to time; but what he must not do is forget it. Whoever doubteth not himself is unworthy –for in his unquestioning belief in his ability, he commiteth the sin of pride. Blessed are they who go through moments of indecision.
… of all the weapons of destruction that man could invent, the most terrible –and the most powerful –was the word. Daggers and spears left traces of blood; arrows could be seen at a distance. Poisons were detected in the end and avoided… but the word managed to destroy without leaving clues.
The best way to know and destroy an enemy is to pretend to become his friend.
Courage is fear that prays.
The brave are always stubborn
This was freedom: to feel what the hear desired, with no thought to the opinion of the rest.
Suffering has no strength to wound a weary body.
A child can always teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires.
Everything will happen as was written by the Lord," replied the prophet. "There are moments when tribulations occur in our lives, and we cannot avoid them. But they are there for some reason.

Fourcade of France wins 10K biathlon sprint
Updated: January 12, 2013, 1:56 PM ETAssociated Press
RUHPOLDING, Germany -- Martin Fourcade of France shot perfectly while keeping a fast pace on the cross-country trail to win a 10-kilometer biathlon World Cup on Saturday for his third victory of the season.
The 16th victory of Fourcade's career extended his lead atop the overall standings.
The Frenchman took longer than his rival to complete the shooting, but he was clearly the fastest on skis to win comfortably against Evgeny Ustyugov of Russia, who was 16.4 seconds behind.

Kenansville, NC - A convicted killer says a potato was used as a silencer in the death of a Duplin County taxi driver.
Anthony Kenan is the second man to get a life sentence after his guilty plea Monday to first degree murder.
Jessie Faison, Jr. was found dead in his cab in Kenansville back in May 2007. He was shot twice in the head.
Kenan told lawmen that co-defendant Brandon Rice devised a plan to rob Faison.
Kenan said before the killing they went to a nearby Piggly Wiggly and bought the potato. In court Monday, investigators say they found potato fragments in the cab. Several web sites say using a potato as a silencer is an urban legend.
The defendant told police that they called the cab that picked up the two men and a juvenile.
Kenan says Rice fired the first shot, then he fired the second round to make sure Faison was dead. Kenan says he took the man's wallet after the shooting.
"I go to bed every night crying, you always think you dad is going to pull up at the front door, but he doesn't," says Sarah Smith, a daughter of the dead man.
"Sending him to prison doesn't bring any closure, because his family will be able to see him again. We'll never be able to see our dad again," she added.
A month ago Rice pleaded guilty, also to first degree murder.
The district attorney says charges are still pending against the juvenile and another man who he says was involved in the murder.

For only the second time in 15 years, I was unable to attend the World of Concrete this year. So here are some thoughts about our firm's outlook I shared in a video which was presented at the show.
The construction industry, and construction materials in particular, have been late to join the recovery. We have trailed automobile manufacturing, hotel occupancies, the restaurant business, retail, and other segments of the economy. While construction has lagged, we strongly believe that our own industry's recovery will be robust. Here's why:
So what lies ahead for 2013 and beyond?

Sparks flew Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press when Senator Ted Cruz called out the liberal media for their pro-Donald Trump coverage and their biased executives. "The media created this Trump phenomenon and then they don't hold him accountable," said the Senator during a very long heated interview with the host Chuck Todd. An exchange where Todd was visible agitated by what the senator from Texas was saying about his profession.

CNN's Brian Lowry reported Comedy Central "fake news" anchor Larry Wilmore drew "groans and grimaces" on Saturday night with a typical White House Correspondents Dinner routine that leaned heavily to the left. He suggested Fox News was racist: "Welcome to Negro Night here in Washington. Or as Fox News will report, 'Two thugs disrupt elegant dinner in DC.'"
Wilmore ended his set by thanking Obama for having been the country's first black President. "When I was a kid people couldn't be a black quarterback. A black man was thought by his mere color not good enough to lead a football team and now to live in your time, when a black man can lead the entire free world," Wilmore began. "I'm going to keep it 100: Yo, Barry. You did it, my n*gga!"

That the establishment press despises New Media isn't exactly breaking news, but a lesser-known subset of that tension has just become more visible. As usual, an Old Media outlet is the smear merchant, and the New Media site has the upper hand on the truth.
Mainstream business journalists really despise the financial and economics blogs which puncture the insufferable "the economy is just fine" meme the financial wires have relentlessly foisted on us during the past seven years. When leading contrarian blog Zero Hedge had a recent fallout among its top authors, Bloomberg News sensed a chance to smear a site it has had to grudgingly recognize as a genuine competitor. Instead, the wire service committed the types of journalistic errors which explain why only six percent of Americans "say they have a lot of confidence in the media."

Uh oh. Ted Cruz is really in trouble with the New York Times now, after attacking Donald Trump for saying people should be able to use the restroom of whatever gender they now identify with. On the trail in Indiana, reporter Trip Gabriel took time out of his packed schedule to deliver a condescending lecture to the ignorant locals about transgenders in "Cruz, in Indiana, Attacks Trump for Supporting Transgender Rights." Columnist Gail Collins piled on: "Ted Cruz continues to astound. Every time it appears he can't get more awful, he finds a new avenue, like a ground mole sniffing out a beetle."

On Friday evening, during a discussion of violent protests at the Republican convention in California, CNN anchors Erin Burnett and John Berman on two different programs both seemed oddly worried that an innocent joke Donald Trump made about sneaking across the border would exacerbate tensions. On Erin Burnett Outfront, host Burnett wondered if the levity was "stoking the flames," and, an hour later, as he substitute hosted Anderson Cooper 360, Berman visibly winced as he recalled the joke and asked if it was "a smart joke to make, given the circumstances?"

"MSNBC can't spell," joked a tipster on Saturday morning. There is was, posted since Friday afternoon at 3:42 -- a story headlined "The Monica Lewsinksy jokes are back." One could be making a pun, since President Clinton "finished in the sink." But there's no indication of a joke in the story. MSNBC reporter Jane C. Timm is deadly serious about this terrible trend of "bullying" Lewinsky with jokes about her fiasco of an affair with Bill Clinton.
Jane C. Timm actually boasts on her LinkedIn profile: " I cut my teeth in the industry working as researcher at the [far-left] Village Voice for investigative reporter Wayne Barrett and later as a national politics fact checker at Rolling Stone." A fact-checker at Rolling Stone would face a very serious problem, indeed, after their fraudulent campus-rape story...but maybe she could have fixed her own headine here.

The liberal opinion site that calls itself "PolitiFact" insists it's just a "fact-checking" website. When choosing to assess whether a politician's claim is true or false, their "About Us" page says they ask "Is the statement rooted in a fact that is verifiable? We don't check opinions, and we recognize that in the world of speechmaking and political rhetoric, there is license for hyperbole."
With rare genetic exceptions, when it comes to humans, there is probably not a fact more verifiable than one's gender. But guess what? On April 26, the website Mediaite carried the eye-grabbing headline: "PolitiFact Rules It's Now Objectively False to Call Transgender Women Men."

On CBS Evening News, Scott Pelley trumpeted that "it's not often that the Queen gets involved in a Twitter war. She and Prince Harry traded barbs with President and Mrs. Obama."

On Thursday, shortly after the government estimated that the economy only grew at an annual rate of 0.5 percent in this year's first quarter, Jeffry Bartash at Marketwatch.com commented on the especially weak performance in nonresidential business investment.
That category subtracted 0.76 points from GDP, the worst result since the second quarter of 2009, during the recession. Bartash, presumably based on real discussions he's had with real economists wrote: "Many economists doubt business investment will show much strength in 2016. A tepid global economic scene and a tumultuous U.S. presidential election marked by heavy anti-corporate rhetoric appears to have made business executives more cautious." What? "Anti-corporate rhetoric" affects the decisions of entrepreneurs, investors and businesspeople? Who knew?

What caused Brooks to issue his bubble admission was the rise of Donald Trump whom he had previously discounted. So before getting down from his high horse to possibly mix with the peasants at your neighborhood sports bar Brooks, with a massive chip on his shoulder, declares his moral superiority:

Oklahoma State football: Coach Mike Gundy thinks QB Wes Lunt will practice this week
Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said he thinks injured quarterback Wes Lunt will practice at some point this week.
Addressing the media at his weekly press conference, Gundy said the cast on Lunt's left leg was being removed today, but he wouldn't say if the true freshman would play on Saturday vs. Texas.
"I don't think he'll be out there practicing on Tuesday," Gundy said, "but we're excited about what we're hearing.
Lunt injured his left leg on the Cowboys sixth offensive snap against La. Lafayette on Sept. 15. He was replaced by redshirt freshman J.W. Walsh, who had a big game with 347 yards and four touchdowns through the air and 73 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown.
Here is a look at what else Gundy had to say on Monday:
11:32 a.m. In two career games against Texas, #OKstate RB Jeremy Smith has 12 carries for 158 yards (13.1 per carry) and three touchdowns.
11:33 a.m. Mike Gundy will address the media at 1 p.m. We'll hear from players before that.
12:18 p.m. Texas has forced seven turnovers and lost only one. #OKstate has forced only three turnovers and lost seven.
12:38 p.m. CB Justin Gilbert on never receiving a Texas offer: "I know what they missed out on and they know what they missed out on."

1:06 p.m. Mike Gundy said he thinks Wes Lunt will be practicing by the end of the week. Not certain though.

Well if it's the case that the formula is that simple I have to admit "I worked for me" with only a few minor glitchs. The service picked up on my likes after only a few hours of use. Maybe there right!
