I would like to thank Alejandro for his flexibility and the cleanliness of the car. The rental was easy to pick up and drip off. This is exactly how Turo should work.

This was my first go-round w/ Turo, so I was a bit tentative when selecting the vehicle. After much review I decided to work w/ an experienced lender - one w/ multiple positive reviews. Good thing I followed my instincts because Alejandro's rating is truly warranted. Alejandro is accessible, communicative and courteous - this made for a good introductory experience w/ RR. The car is as advertised - no frills here. We spent our time in the mountains, so be mindful the Outlander is a 4-banger. Be gentle on the steep grades and the car will be good to you. Granted, we didn't drive much when we reached our destination, but I only burned through one (!) tank of gas. Needless to say, I will work with Alejandro C. again.

At one point, the car was making noises so I called and texted Alejandro, but received no replies. It eventually went away but was worrisome that I didn't hear back from him in the event of a real problem.
Also, the car is not at the airport as stated. It's parked at an airport hotel, in which I had to wait 30 minutes to take a shuttle to, after a long day of traveling with my dog. Not a perk of the trip. This should be stated on the profile. I did ask him to meet me at the airport directly but he said it was inconvenient. (I once rented a relayride from a different person who had parked the car for me AT the airport, and I was able to walk to it). If Alejandro is not willing to do this, I think it's not right to say it's at the airport.

This was my first Turo trip and the whole thing form beginning to end has been an awesome experience! This car is perfect i like older not so fancy cars so i was very happy everything worked except the heater. But i knew that from other reviews. if ever i make it back to denver i will most certainly use this car and owner again.

Well functioning car. Alejandro worked well with us, everything was as stated and the car was extremely clean. Good rental! Thanks!

Alejandro was wonderful! We were in the city a day before the rental was to begin and Alejandro saved us a trip to the airport by dropping off the car within a few blocks of where we were staying. The car was very clean. My only complaint is that the moon roof did not open, which was unfortunate as it was very sunny during our stay. Regardless, I would rent from Alejandro again soon.

Great car. There's a reason this was one of the best SUV's of it's time. No it is not new, but it is clean and reliable and totally functional. We are a family of four and we had an amazing 2 week ski trip without incident. Good tires, great locking ski rack, good mileage. Throw in an ice scraper and you're crazy to pay more just for that new rental car smell.

Everything Alejandro said was right on. I will be back in Colorado in the summer and I will be using Alejandro for my rental car Enjoy seth

A great SUV for a ski trip, 5 people with skis and stuff fits nicely. The owner was very accommodating and responsive. The car had minor technical issues which are expected in a older car.
David L.
– March 26, 2014
Alejandro was great to work with, very responsive and friendly. Car was clean, handled perfectly, easy to pick up and return - was exactly what we were looking for - a cheaper alternative to renting an SUV through a rental site! Our only complaint is that the car's heat did not work - the dial was stuck and couldn't be turned to produce warm air - and we were driving around Colorado in February so it got a little chilly!
Nick S.

Great, clean, well maintained vehicle. Alejandro was fantastic to work with. He followed up to ensure everything was fine, and left us his contact info if we had any questions or problems. There is now a ski rack on the vehicle which was very convenient. We plan to rent this vehicle the next time we return to the area.

Great experience! Alejandro was soooo easy to work with and very accommodating. He was constantly on point with communication and made everything a breeze. He will work with you for pick up and drop off and figure out the best way for you to get the car. The car itself was as advertised. It ran perfectly and had everything I needed to drive all over the mountains. The handling was superb for winter driving, as I found out the day after I picked it up and drove up I-70 to Breckenridge in the middle of a raging snowstorm. The all-wheel drive is just as good as my Subaru Outback and the MPG was also good. The tires are brand new, the radio has an iPod input, phone charge adapter in the cig-lighter and there is even a TomTom GPS for navigation. Plenty of room for all my ski gear and passengers. Terrific!!!

This vehicle was just what I was looking for. It was clean, ran great, and was very spacious. Alejandro was friendly and helpful. I will definitely seek out this vehicle again for family mountain excursions in the future.

The car ran well and all arrangements were satisfactory. The heater control is quite sticky. Thought it might break turning it . Watch out for the rear hatch. hold it up for a little bit or it will drop and smack you on the head.

Alejandro is wonderful and incredibly easy to deal with! He is over-the-top when it comes to communication and responsiveness. Alejandro was helpful with everything from his vehicle to directions to even helping load our luggage. We needed this size vehicle after a smaller size fell through at a corporate rental company and Alejandro was quick to come to our rescue and was incredibly affordable for the size. Of course his vehicle is not new so it'll take a few more moments to get up to speed but we could not have been happier with the service from Alejandro and his vehicle.
Melissa P.

Absolutely wonderful experience. Alejandro was a joy to work with. He was incredibly responsive and incredibly helpful. Car was immaculate. If you want to cut the price of a rental car in half - this is a great option. We went deep into the mountains and got totally snowed in... this car plowed through the snow like it was nothing. You wouldn't believe it. For the sake of full disclosure: the only downside was the car's pickup going uphill, which wasn't amazing. It's definitely not a car you can speed up mountains with, but it'll sure as heck get you where you're going. Very reliable. Highly recommended.

Alejandro is the man! Awesome communication, very flexible, and has a reliable car. Despite it being a 10 year old car, it always started up without a problem and the four wheel drive was a huge help in the snow. Coming from Florida, I was a little hesitant driving it he snow for the first time in a while, but this thing handled it like a champ. If you are flying into DIA and need a car, this is the one. Great deal for a reliable, clean car with a great owner. I will defintely use this car again if im in the area. Thank you Alejandro!
Ryan S.

Alejandro's Outlander was great and he even went as far as dropping off the car at my hotel. It was also awesome that it had 4-wheel drive for the snowy weather.
Great communication as well. I would certainly recommend!

OSBI has completed investigation in Serenity Deal case
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation has delivered to a prosecutor a 1,046-page report on the Serenity Deal case.
"They were very thorough," Pottawatomie County District Attorney Richard Smothermon said.
Serenity was the 5-year-old girl who was murdered by her father after DHS workers agreed she could live with him at his Oklahoma City apartment. She had been in foster care.
The district attorney in August asked the OSBI to look into the events leading up to Serenity's death June 4.
"The focus of the investigation will be on the actions and inactions of all parties involved in the custody and placement of Serenity Deal prior to her death," he wrote the OSBI.
He specifically asked the OSBI to look at events that happened and decisions that were made while the girl was in DHS custody, "and what, if any, criminal violations may have occurred."
Smothermon told The Oklahoman the OSBI on Tuesday delivered the report and two boxes of information. He said he now will review the materials.
"I will look for any evidence of any criminal wrongdoing on the part of DHS workers," the district attorney said.
Serenity died less than a month after she began living with her father full time at the recommendation of DHS workers.
The girl was placed with her father, Sean Devon Brooks, even though she was injured twice in January 2011 during overnight visits with him. The Oklahoma Department of Human Services got involved in the girl's care because her mother had been accused of molesting a boy.
Brooks had not known he was Serenity's father until she was about 3, records show.
Brooks, 32, pleaded guilty in December to first-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison. He admitted in his plea that he beat her in the head.
After the girl died, DHS suspended four employees involved in her case — a Lincoln County DHS child welfare worker and his supervisor, and a Pottawatomie County DHS child welfare worker and his supervisor.
The Lincoln County worker, Donald Wheeler, committed suicide. His supervisor, Wes Priest, quit. Pottawatomie County child welfare specialist Randy Lack and supervisor Jennifer Shawn eventually were fired.
The agency concluded Lack and Shawn failed to make full background checks of Serenity's father and failed to fully inform the judge overseeing Serenity's case. They have denied wrongdoing. Shawn has said they are being made "scapegoats for this."
Both have appealed their terminations to the Oklahoma Merit Protection Commission. The appeals are pending.
Their attorney, Pete Serrata, said both cooperated fully in the inquiry.
"We're hopeful that the agents will come to the truth of the matter regarding how the entirety of the system failed, beyond DHS," Serrata said.
"The way the system's supposed to work is DHS does their job. It is supposed to go to the DA who does his job, who then takes it to the judge who is supposed to do his job," he said.
"In this case, I think what you're going to find ... is that there were failures in all three sections.
"DHS isn't the end-all. If DHS makes a mistake, then it is supposed to be the DA to catch it. And, if the DA makes a mistake, the judge is supposed to be the final, ultimate authority as to what's supposed to happen."

Cachay et al. [1] have recently reported a high rate of serious adverse events and treatment discontinuation in HIV/hepatitis C virus (HCV) coinfected patients treated with telaprevir-based regimens. In this cohort of patients, no episodes of renal impairment were described. This is at variance with findings from the PAN study showing a marked decline in renal function in about 5% of HCV-infected patients with risk factors for renal impairment treated with direct acting-antiviral agents (DAAs) [2]. The findings from Cachay et al. [1] are challenging considering also that 20 out of the 24 enrolled patients were on treatment with tenofovir (TDF), which is considered a risk factor for the development of kidney toxicity [3–5].
Here we report a case of an HIV-infected patient on TDF-based regimen who experienced a rapid deterioration of renal dysfunction a few weeks after starting therapy with telaprevir for the treatment of HCV coinfection.
A 41-year-old white male patient with a diagnosis of HIV/hepatitis B virus (HBV) coinfection was referred to our Department on April 2011 (Table 1). He started antiretroviral therapy with TDF/emtricitabine and atazanavir/ritonavir 300/100 mg once daily and achieved a complete virological control of both infections with a rapid normalization of aminotransferases. On September 2011, a diagnosis of acute HCV infection (genotype 1a) was made on the basis of the elevation of aminotransferases and the appearance of HCV antibodies and plasma HCV-RNA (8 618 695 IU/ml) previously persistently negative. For the persistence of elevated aminotransferases, on April 2013, the patient was placed on anti-HCV therapy with pegylated-interferon alpha2a (180 μg/weekly), ribavirin [400 mg three times daily (t.i.d.)], and telaprevir (750 mg t.i.d.).
A few weeks after starting treatment, the patient experienced a progressive deterioration in renal function, weight loss, and severe anemia (hemoglobin dropped to 5.7 g/dl). The dosage of ribavirin was reduced and the patient received blood transfusions. As shown in Table 1, the addition of the triple antiviral therapy resulted in a four-fold increase in the TDF plasma concentrations as compared with baseline values. A further increase was seen 3 weeks later concomitantly with the worsening of renal function and the further weight loss. Telaprevir was discontinued on 4 July 2013. Three weeks after its discontinuation, the patient showed a mild improvement in the renal function and a reduction of TDF concentrations. At the last follow-up visit, the patient showed a rise in hemoglobin levels (10.3 g/dl) associated with a normalization of renal function and an increase in body weight (Table 1). However, TDF plasma trough concentrations did not return to baseline values.
Our patient had been on TDF-based antiretroviral therapy for 2 years with no signs of drug-related renal toxicity. Telaprevir administration increased TDF plasma trough concentrations by 300%, far higher than what reported previously in healthy volunteers [6]. This apparent discrepancy could be reconciled by considering two additional confounding factors that were concomitantly present in our patient: a significant reduction in the body weight and a rapid deterioration in the renal function. Indeed, recent investigations have shown that low body weight is an independent risk factor for TDF-associated renal dysfunction in HIV-infected Japanese patients [7,8]. Accordingly, the rapid reduction in the body weight observed in our patient may have led to reduced renal clearance of TDF, eventually resulting in a magnification of drug-related renal toxicity. This hypothesis has been indirectly supported by a retrospective investigation showing higher TDF concentrations in white HIV-infected individuals experiencing impairment in kidney tubular function [9]. Taken together, these results suggest an association between high TDF plasma concentrations and the development of TDF-related complications. It is, however, unclear whether it is chronic overexposure to TDF that determined renal impairment or, conversely, that the progressive development of renal insufficiency resulted in an accumulation of TDF. In our patient, early telaprevir administration significantly increased TDF plasma trough concentrations despite an initial mild reduction in the kidney function. Subsequently, the progressive deterioration of renal function further increased the accumulation of TDF. However, the improvement of renal dysfunction observed after telaprevir withdrawal did not restore the plasma TDF concentrations measured before starting therapy with telaprevir. An in-vitro study [10] has recently shown that telaprevir significantly inhibits renal and hepatic drug transporters, which play a key role in regulating the transport and secretion of TDF. Accordingly, it could be hypothesized that in our patient, telaprevir administration may have led to a prolonged inhibition of such transporters, with effects that persisted for weeks after telaprevir discontinuation, resulting in higher than expected systemic TDF exposure.
In conclusion, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report depicting the complex interplay between coexisting known and novel risk factors for renal dysfunction in an HIV/HCV coinfected patient treated with telaprevir. The take-home message that we would like to leave is that HIV patients on TDF-based therapy who start therapy with DAAs should be strictly monitored not only for their hematologic values and renal function, but also for long-term TDF exposure, being the latter a condition that may favor the development of severe drug-related systemic toxicity.

An Illiterate Writer...
So mystery writer Howard Engel wakes up after a stroke one day and realizes that he has forgotten how to read. That's what his memoir Man Who Forgot How to Read is all about, well not quite, but you get the idea.
This captured my imagination from the moment I heard the pitch. I think the reason is that I recently heard an episode of WNYC's Radio Lab about a man who woke up one day and had "forgotten" how to walk (I'm sure that I'm butchering the scientific description of the loss of proprioception, but who doesn't?)
Moving on: so my first question was, if you forget how to read, can you still write? And if so what's the difference between reading and writing? When you forget how to read is it that you forget how to string letters together, or is it that you forget what a letter "Q" looks like?
Those are my questions, the first of them anyhow. What are yours?
And as an aside: I know this is a bit of a high-concept show for a Thursday afternoon, but stick with me... These conversations are incredibly compelling. Remember the interview we did about Mike May and his story about going from being blind to having sight Crashing Through. it was amazing!

I am not sure how to reach Howard but I also had a massive stroke and have found an experimental therapy that he should try called ETPS. Essentially this is electric stimulation of acupuncture points. After I started this therapy I regained my ability to speak publicly, read books and think clearer. He can contact me in my office at 239-254-8266 or by email.

Hey friends I am starting this thread to share the workaround for creating your own DNS to resolve URL to IP addresses. This example is for windows DNS server but the same method will work for other servers as well. You just need to have domain name with full control, DNS server software, one fixed IP address, services that you desire to use on the server. Once you are ready with the same then you can follow the below steps:
Creating new domain entry:
For every domain name there is something called Zone in windows, so here you have to add your main domain as Primary zone in forward lookup zone in "Domainname.com" format or .co.uk format. If this is just a local network DNS then make sure you are not allowing dynamic updates. You will have two entries under new domain after creating the same. The entries will be named as "SOA" and "NS" where SOA stands for Start of Authority where as NS stands for Name server. You will have to follow the same process and add a domain as a reverse lookup zone if you are willing to create 100% compliant DNS. If you make any changes to forward lookup then "Update Reverse Lookup" option should be checked marked as well. If it is not then it will be must to change the reverse zone manually.
Editing "NS" entry in your forward zone:
Here you have to edit entry to "NS0.DomainName.Com" and set the same to a relevant IP address. When you are done with the same then you can proceed further and add another (NS) record and set the same to to "NS1.DomainName.Com". After that you will have to configure SOA entry in forward lookup zone. You can change the serial number in "YYYYMMDDnn" format but it is not compulsory. You should also set refresh interval between 1200 to 43200 seconds, retry between 120-7200 seconds where as expiry should between 2-4 weeks. Depending on the use of domain, setting minimum TTL is a very important task, normally value between 2-3 hours is recommended. You can just go to "Name server" settings in SOA record and add two Name servers that you have created after removing the defaults. If you are willing to get a website then you can set it up as A record, this record will get populated separately as it is a top level record. After adding "A" to your forward lookup zone, set entry as "WWW" and set IP address for the website, you just have to keep in mind that you are having a web server waiting for it.
Setting up mail on domain:
If you want then you can set up a mil on your domain, it is not recommended but it can be helpful for keeping track of potential issues that can occur later. There are a number of mail servers and you can get anyone of them for free, if you want then you can get webmail as well but you will have to spend some bucks for the same. So if you are interested in mail server or webmail then you can proceed further for configuring MX records. For that you have to add "A" name for your mail server and you can call it as abc. domainname.com" letting it point to one of your IP addresses. After that you need to add an "MX" record in the Forward Lookup zone giving it full "A" record of abc. domainname.com" . You should make sure that you are not setting up the same as host or child and leaving that field blank.
Adding more records:
Even this is not recommended but I think adding the same will be quite helpful as well, you have to add a "RP" entry and "MB" entry where "RP" entry will be a contact point for domain complaints and a Responsible Person where as "MB" entry is just a mailbox entry. The "RP" should have host or domain and must be set up to your mail box. For eg if server is "xyz.Domainname.com" then the mailbox should be set to "MB" record that you will make. When you are done with the same then you can go to SOA and switch the responsible person to the new "RP" record.
Checking out the performance of server:
For checking the performance of your server you can go to www.dnsreport.com and run report on your domain "domainname.com" to know if there is any issue or not. Basically you will get a list of issue if it is there with the workaround for fixing them. If at all you are having a new domain name which is not yet hosted then you can re-point the domain to your new server. You can contact the provider owning the domain for the same, you basically have to enter 2 name servers and one ip addresses which in your case is "NS0.domainname.com" and "NS1.domainname.com" after updating the same you are done!!!
If you want to check if the settings you have provided are working or not then you can perform a whois on the main DNS server of your domain provider and you can even track progress of the domain changes using below commands:
c:\nslookup ns0.domainname.com NS0.yourprovidersdns.com (with this you will come to know about the entries your domain provider might be having)
c:\nslookup www.domainname.com ns0.domainname.com (With this you will come to know about the changes that your domain might have gone)
Lastly I just wanted to add that make sure you are changing the refresh or update value after making any changes to the DNS and always having a back up of the server.

Student Data
Butler Technology and Career Development Schools in Ohio is overhauling its student data system and implementing a new portal solution to tie in with its LMS.
Butler Tech has licensed a set of software modules from Campus Management for use at two campuses to replace a legacy system. The organization serves 25,000 high school and postsecondary adult learners at 190 satellite sites serving 10 school districts. The applications will address the school's needs to manage records for full-time students, career development students, part-time career enhancement students, and students in corporate customized training.
"With the solution, we hope to eliminate many of the offline manual processes involved in managing our student records and transactions," said Calista Smith, supervisor of adult industry programs and process management. "We hope to eliminate many of the offline manual processes involved in managing our student records and transactions."
The Hamilton-based institution will be using CampusVue Student, which includes programs for admissions and recruiting, academic records, student accounts, financial aid, student services, contact management, and career services. The license signed by Butler Tech grants a maximum record count of 1,200 full-time equivalent students tallied by credit hours. The college will also be using CampusVue Portal, which provides online services for the campus community. It also will be using application programming interfaces to integrate the modules with CampusLink Merchant Express and its Angel learning management system. A contract posted to the school's Web site sets the price for a perpetual license at about $275,000.
Butler Tech has also signed a professional services agreement with Campus Management for just under $460,000, which includes implementation of the applications, integration work, and training. The school has signed a three-year annual maintenance contract for the software for about $58,000.
According to a document presented to the board of education that approved the capital expenditure, the other finalist vendor, Datatel, came in at about $60,000 more than the Campus Management solution. A third vendor that had responded to a Butler Tech request for proposal was eliminated because of incomplete documentation and "deficiencies in requirements."
The board approved the deal in January 2010, and the school said it hopes to have the new student information system operational by July 1, 2010.
Campus Management itself has also announced that it will be adding business intelligence and analytics technology from eThority to CampusVue.
The new CampusVue Performance Analytics system is intended to pull data from multiple sources--those from Campus Management as well as other applications--into a single dashboard for reporting purposes. The new module is a data warehouse with pre-built service functions for performing extraction, transformation, and load processes to extract data for real-time analysis.

This rigidity in folder names and locations might be a bit of a nuisance but once you've gotten used to it, it actually makes sense and helps organize your content better. Also each time you plug in a storage device, either to the eSATA or one of the USB ports, a shared folder will be created for that device automatically.
The Synology DS107+ has an almost embarrassingly long list of features. We can't touch on all of them in the space of this review, so we'll focus on a few we found interesting and potentially useful to the largest audience: Surveillance Station, Photo Station, and Download Station.
The Surveillance Station allows you to connect up to six network cameras to the Synology and is able to make recordings based on either schedules or motion detection. We tested this with the Panasonic BL-C1 camera, and the setup was a snap. The motion detection worked very well, and the quality of the recorded video clips was comparable with, if not better than, most conventional surveillance systems we've seen. Of course, this also depends on the cameras you want to use. The DS107+ has built-in settings for a long list of cameras it supports. Unfortunately, the DS107+ comes with only one camera license, meaning it only supports one camera out of the box. If you want to use more, you'll need to buy additional licenses from Synology, which cost $50 each. Still, this feature lets you create a decent, easy-to-manage surveillance system that costs less than other solutions on the market.
The Photo Station might be the most welcome feature of the DS107+. Each folder stored here can be viewed as a photo album, with thumbnails generated and organized automatically. In order to view this Web album, you need a user account for the DS107+, which lets you also rename the photos, edit captions, and write an introduction for it. The album can also be made available over the Internet. The Photo Station also has a blog function that allows for adding more contexts to the photos and or album. The Web albums it generates looked professional and well organized.
The DS107+ isn't the only network device that can download files on its own. We reviewed the Asus WL-700gE Storage Router that supports BitTorrent. While the Asus' self-download function is very cumbersome to work with, the DS107+'s Download Station brings this feature to the next level. The DS107+ can download multiple files by itself, and it's very easy to add or manage the download URLs within the Web interface. To make matters even more convenient, Synology includes a utility called Download Redirector that you can run on your PC. The app helps you add, organize, and control the download processes that take place at the DS107+. We really like this feature because it allows for downloading large files from the Internet without having to leave a PC on. Unfortunately, the DS107+ can't download files from sites that require authentication, which means it can't be used to download your purchased movie or music files from vendor sites that require you to log in before accessing the downloadable materials. In this case, you will need to download them with a PC and save them on the DS107+ later.
Another original feature of the DS107+ worth noticing is its capability to play music directly to USB speakers, and you can purchase a remote control for this function (another $39.95). The sound quality was decent and should suffice for small rooms and apartments. The DS107+ also supports both Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 as digital media adapter devices. You can browse and stream multimedia contents stored on the Synology Disk Stations to your stereo system and TV set using Sony PS3 or Microsoft Xbox 360.
The DS107+ did well in CNET Labs testing. It was among our top three on our write test with a score of 45.7Mbps. On our read test, it's our current champion at 52.8Mbps. The DS107+ also performed very smoothly throughout our testing process. It worked very quietly and didn't produce a lot of heat like most NAS devices.

When doing multiple tasks at the same time (streaming music, recording video, and so on), however, the responsiveness of the DS107+'s Web interface reduced significantly, though it was still acceptable. Also, depending on the size of the photos, the Photo Station can take up to a few minutes to generate thumbnails for new Web albums.
Service and support
Synology backs the DS107+ with a two-year warranty. Its phone technical support is available Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST. At its Web site, you can find user forums, a Wiki page, product manuals, and firmware downloads.

TAX PLANNING & PREPARATION: Be Sure to Worry after April 15, Too
Tax preparation is what happens between now and April 15.
Tax planning is what happens between now and the end of the year.
The difference is more than semantic. You have no choice but to complete your paperwork and reconcile your personal account with Uncle Sam, but you can let tax planning slide until this time next year, when you can scramble and try to see if there are any maneuvers left that could cut your taxes.
Most people spend their tax-season time concerned only with preparation. A few minutes spent on planning, however, might be duly rewarded next year, particularly concerning a few changes in the tax code that go into effect this year for the tax return you will file in 1998.
What the substantive changes in tax rules for this year have in common is that they sound better in concept than they work in practice, so planning is necessary to see if these moves are right for you.
Here are the new tax moves to consider this year:
IRAs have been around for years but several rules changes may make them more attractive.
It starts with the expansion of the spousal IRA. Under the new law, a one-income couple can set aside $2,000 per person for IRAs; before, only a working spouse could reach that limit, with the stay-at-home partner allowed to contribute no more than $250.
The new limits do not change the eligibility standards for tax deduction. IRAs are tax-deductible - where the amount set aside is not subject to current income taxes - only to a small portion of the population, essentially those people not otherwise covered by a retirement plan. If one member of a couple participates in a plan, neither spouse will be eligible for a deductible IRA.
Non-deductible IRAs are not particularly popular with many financial specialists, because you tie up your money for years - to age 59 1/2 - without getting the current tax benefit. The current law changes, however, may make a non-deductible IRA worth a second look.
Under a law known as COBRA, employers who provide health insurance coverage for workers must allow workers who leave the company to retain their insurance for up to 18 months. But the worker has to pay the premium for this coverage.
Beginning this year, you can withdraw money from an IRA to pay for COBRA costs without incurring the 10 percent penalty for early withdrawal. You still have to pay taxes due on the money, but that amount will be pretty small with a non-deductible IRA (where you paid the tax on the income in the year in which you set it aside). That means IRA accounts - particularly non-deductible IRAs - may have the benefit of becoming a kind of health insurance fund to be used if/when there is a career change.
(In addition, COBRA rules specify that, so long as you have coverage uninterrupted, your new employer's health insurance provider cannot turn you down for coverage based on a pre-existing condition; while it is never smart to do without health care insurance for even a short time, anyone who might be considered a health risk can ill afford to let coverage lapse.)
You can also withdraw from an IRA penalty-free if you have high unreimbursed medical expenses, amounting to more than 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income. In all cases, the allowable early withdrawals can not exceed either the cost of the COBRA insurance payments or the medical expenses.
For several years, there have been companies that offer a lump-sum settlement of your insurance policy. Known as a "viatical settlement" and designed for the terminally and chronically ill, the idea is to accelerate the benefits from life insurance, so that holders can tap into their policies while still living. …

The nationally acclaimed and award winning public house The Clocktower Bar, has risen to become one of Torquay's best known independent premier bars.
These unique licensed premises rescued in 1997 from a continental café bar fitting, formally trading as 'The Market'. A decade later with care and consideration the former exterior and internal designs are back, a tastefully rediscovered Victorian Pub of which the great designers and architects of that golden era would certainly be proud.
The hidden and found secrets of this old Torquay Inn during bygone years traded on the perimeter of The 'Rotunda ' Torquay's live cattle market.

Owner and staff were exceptionally nice. Setting is charming.
Overhead light was out and TV had only 1 channel working. Remote did not work.
Sweet and thoughtful staff. Close to JMU and the Harrisonburg Farmers Market. Wonderful breakfast. Great antiques!
The Belle Boyd room has a standing room only shower stall.
The B&B was charming...part of the Manor House was built in 1790, the 'newer' portion in the 1800's. The decor in our 1790 Suite was a floral pattern in hues of blue. There was a private balcony & the sitting room was equipped with TV, books, etc.
The innkeepers were both lovely people and very accommodating, willing to assist even without asking. Cute place that I would recommend to others looking for a nice spot to get away.

Is there anything more depressing than an almost immediate failure?
Okay, so I didn't technically have one of those. But I feel like I sorta-kinda did.
What I Did Get Done
1. I spent 45 min or so writing the first draft of the shop's About page. It's good enough to go.
2. I spent another 45 min in vital minutia, such as getting printouts of bank statements for my business credit card application from my regular bank, driving over to the new one, yadda yadda.
So why do I feel so shitty?
I deeply want to launch into an explanation of the sucktacularness of the last week, including (as it did) a quite strong reaction to the drugs the dentist injected into my gum, no internet all week, and an ECG, and…
Wait. What I actually want to launch into is a justification.
A justification for what? I spent nearly 2 hours; I have a functional About page text plus a few more bureaucratic hurdles have been jumped.
What the fuck am I feeling defensive about?
So I only got the About page written today, the last day of my week. So what?
So life intervened and I didn't get to do any of the fun creative things I've been anticipating. So what?
So I don't have a viable prototype to show yet. So what?
So most of the work is not very interesting to describe to you. So what?
Ah. All hail the project limitations.
Many weeks I will not have anything fascinating to show.
Many weeks I will be able to describe my activities in one quite short paragraph.
Many weeks it will feel like my progress is so slow as to be drifting gently backwards with the tectonic plates.
Right. This is how it is going to be, is meant to be, is lucky to be.
I can't sprint past all my fears and insights and baggage. I have to saunter by, head up, as they hiss obscenities from behind a chain-link fence.
So I'd like to introduce you to My Paralysing Fear of Discipline.
(We'll call her Paradis for short.)
She has doomed many a hopeful project of mine in years past. Paradis wields a cudgel of NOPE and brings it out when it comes time to build new habits or process "because I don't want to be, like, boring".
She is desperate for novelty, charm, and anything that makes a good story. She detests routine, exercise, and discipline because she thinks they are going to get us judged as a dull grey monobody; then we will have no friends and we will instantly die alone in a gutter holding a bottle of methylated spirits and no one will even attend the funeral oh woe.
Paradis means well, but she regularly fucks me over.
She better get comfy. We're in for a long ride.

If memory serves, the "Half Yearly Sale for Men" usually has a better selection than the "Anniversary Sale" (makes sense, stock goes down after the first sale), so keep your eyes peeled this Friday.
Also just FYI, there have been reports (on StyleForum) from people in the past who have bought Allen Edmonds shoes from department stores only to find that they are seconds (there is usually a mark on the sole of the shoe to designate seconds quality).
220 for PA, Strand, McCallister firsts is a great deal. For seconds, its actually not that bad considering seconds normally go for 269 from the Shoe Bank.
If you're asking in terms of quality of shoe, there's no comparison between Alfani and AE. Allen Edmonds are built to last, and they look very professional.
One thing to note on the Park Avenue (and Strands) is that Allen Edmonds uses a harder sole (cork, I think), so if you're coming from a brand like Ecco (which uses an insole), it may take some getting use to. I was talking to the sales rep at one of their stores and he actually recommended their orthotic line for folks who like a softer shoe. My next pair will likely be the Winter Park if I can ever find it on sale...
I am 8D for most of the lasts, but one of them my left foot is 8D and the right has to be 7.5D.

AbstractRotor induced flow modeling is a central part for almost every aspect of rotorcraft simulation and analysis. There are, however, challenges in the accurately predicting the unsteady rotor wake transportation, especially when it interacts with aerodynamic disturbances from nearby aerodynamic bodies such as a fuselage, a ground surface, or a ship landing deck. This proposal aims to develop an adequate real-time rotor induced flow model for shipboard flight simulation. The model to be developed will be a physics-based viscous vortex wake model that can properly capture the effects of the rotor/ship interaction under shipboard operating conditions. It is also proposed to develop a formulation and a set of algorithms to derive an efficient real-time finite state induced flow model from the high fidelity viscous vortex simulation in support of flight simulation.

RealNetworks is taking what it learned on the personal computer and applying it to the cellphone. And to do it quickly, the Seattle company...
LOS ANGELES — RealNetworks is taking what it learned on the personal computer and applying it to the cellphone. And to do it quickly, the Seattle company is acquiring South Korean company WiderThan for $350 million.
Based in Seoul, WiderThan is known for its mobile music expertise. It assists carriers in selling ringback tones and full-track music download services. Ringback tones are songs a person hears while waiting for a call to be answered.
The two companies announced the deal Tuesday at CTIA Wireless IT & Entertainment, an industry trade show this week at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
RealNetworks said the purchase will help it integrate technology such as its Rhapsody online music service into the mobile environment. Until now, the Seattle company's mobile business has been limited to providing back-end music infrastructure, video-gaming and video-streaming.

"I think we are going to be a mobile company at this point," John Giamatteo, executive vice president of worldwide technology products and solutions, said at a news conference. "Real has had a very strong position on the PC, through Real Rhapsody, and now this really gives us a boost on expanding out."
Giamatteo said the company isn't completely moving away from the PC, but rather looking at providing a service consumers can listen and watch no matter where they are or what device they are using.
With the acquisition, Giamatteo said Real will also be able to expand on a new business model, one in which technology is delivered to the customer as a service. Last year, Real made its first inroads in providing services when it started to manage Cingular Wireless' video-streaming.
Financing for the purchase came from the $760 million Real received from Microsoft after the two companies settled an antitrust lawsuit last October.
With that money, Real was able to look for companies to complement its business. It said it had been talking with WiderThan for five or six months about a merger.
RealNetworks said it will pay $17.05 a share for WiderThan for a total of $350 million, not including WiderThan's $93 million in cash.
WiderThan was spun out of SK Telecom, a large South Korean carrier, in June 2000. It entered the U.S. market in October 2004 with the purchase of Ztango.
Today, it has 470 employees, including 150 in the U.S., a handful of whom are in Bellevue.
WiderThan expects 2006 revenues to reach as much as $132 million, about a quarter of Real's. It had a profit last year of $11.8 million.
The acquisition is not expected to close until early 2007, at which point WiderThan will become a wholly owned subsidiary.
WiderThan Chief Executive Sang Jun Park said consolidation is the trend in the wireless industry and together the two companies could build something of great value.
A key to creating value would be in how well they fit. For instance, Giamatteo said Real has strong video relationships with Cingular and Sprint Nextel, while WiderThan has strong relationships with SK Telecom and Verizon Wireless, which uses its music download service.
WiderThan is strong in the U.S. and Asia, while Real is strong in Europe.
Brad Farkas, a general partner at i-Hatch Ventures, one of the original investors in WiderThan, said although WiderThan drew interest from a number of companies, Real was the most natural fit.
"This represents Real's arrival in the mobile scene," said Farkas at the CTIA show.
Hank Skorny, general manager of Bellevue-based Thumbspeed, said this marks a huge entrance into the mobile arena for Real.
Considering there are more mobile phones than PCs worldwide, the deal makes sense, Skorny said.
"A significant percentage of those phones are walking around with the equivalent of a Pentium processor inside," he said. "That's a compelling reason for Real."

Lorie Enloe, associate professor of music education, holds a Bachelor of Arts in clarinet performance and music education from Transylvania University, and a Master of Music and doctorate in music education from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Her mentors were John Locke, Kelly Burke and Peter Martin.
Enloe's woodwind method textbook, "Teaching Beginning Woodwinds: The First Five Days," was published in October 2013 and has been adopted by a growing number of U.S. colleges and universities.
Enloe presented on teaching beginning flute and clarinet students, with a focus on characteristic tone at the International Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic in 2008 and 2013. She also presents on woodwind pedagogy in regional and Idaho music education conferences. She is a regular visitor to Idaho classrooms, helping band directors to improve ensemble performance. She also serves as a solo and ensemble adjudicator/band clinician across the Idaho/Washington area. A technology advocate, Enloe won $164,200 funding through the Idaho Technology Incentive Grant in 2008 to overhaul the Master of Music in music education to better meet professional development needs of rurally isolated music teachers. The grant funded revising the music education master's curriculum, with 15 new graduate music education courses, changing the delivery from traditional to web-based face-to-face instruction and developing a new music education technology lab for the Lionel Hampton School of Music.

NewsOK Blogs / OU Blog
Postgame thoughts: Bedlam edition
Plenty to talk about and look back on after Oklahoma's 88-76 Bedlam win over Oklahoma State on Monday night at Lloyd Noble Center.
First, the main stories:
Jenni Carlson wrote about Ryan Spangler's dominant performance in his first Bedlam.
I wrote about the in-state trio of Spangler, Tyler Neal and Jordan Woodard being the keys to the win.
John Helsley wrote about the Cowboys' struggles with foul trouble since Michael Cobbins' injury.
And finally John, Jason Kersey and myself put together a Bedlam notebook that includes items on the Cowboys' struggles in Norman, the Sooners winning even without a lot of scoring from Buddy Hield and Cam Clark and Phil Forte's big shooting from outside that kept OSU in it.
Now, onto some other items:
- It looked early like Marcus Smart was going to bounce back from his disappointing game Saturday against West Virginia with a monster game. He hit a 3-pointer over Isaiah Cousins about a minute into the game then drilled a second just a minute later over Woodard. But Smart's night was quickly derailed. He picked up his first foul a minute later when he got into Woodard then had his second by nine minutes in when Neal was stuck under the basket with the clock ticking down. Neal went up, looking like he had no clear way to get out from under the bucket to hit a shot, and was fouled by Smart with two seconds left on the shot clock. Smart went out for the remainder of the half.
- The Sooners had a chance to extend the lead with Smart and Le'Bryan Nash on the bench for long stretches of the first half but couldn't. What Oklahoma did do, though, was maintain the lead. The Sooners led by eight when Smart took a seat and still lead by eight by the end of the half. OSU did briefly cut the lead in half but OU closed strong. That's been a problem for the Sooners so far this season so they were encouraged by their strong showing going into the break.
- Woodard and Oklahoma State's Stevie Clark didn't play against each other in high school when Woodard starred at Edmond Memorial and Clark at Douglass. But they did face off before that, when Woodard was still at Northeast. Woodard said he looked forward to the matchup and he was the clear winner. Woodard finished with a team-high 18 points and got to the line 13 times. Clark finished with just two points and fouled out with about 12 minutes remaining. Clark played just 11 minutes. Woodard referred to his relationship with Clark afterward but said that matchup didn't add any pressure to his first Bedlam game.
- Mentioned it near the end of my story but Woodard's 3-pointer early in the second half was a clear indication that things were going OU's way. Woodard was trying to draw a foul as the shot clock expired but instead drilled a 3-pointer to put the Sooners up by 12. Neal on whether he thought that play showed OU was in for a special night: "That went through my head. It's your home court and those things are going to happen. They'll happen in Stillwater for them. We'll just hope we can kind of withstand those type of plays and answer that adversity and still give us a chance to win a ballgame.
- The Sooners have a couple more weeks before they have to worry about that Feb. 15 rematch at Gallagher-Iba Arena. For now, OU is ready to concentrate on Iowa State. The Sooners upset the Cyclones at home earlier this month.
- This was likely an elimination game in the Big 12 race. Obviously, it's Kansas' to lose at this point but you never know when you're in position. The Sooners are in sole possession of second place in the league with a 6-2 mark, two games back of Kansas. Texas is 5-2 and is off until Saturday. The Cowboys, though, are 4-3 in the league with road losses to the top two teams.
- Neal has seen Bedlam at its lowest and at his highest during his four seasons with the Sooners. OU was not very good when he arrived in Norman and his first couple of Bedlam games featured not-very-good teams playing in games that, while they attracted bigger crowds than other games in those seasons, didn't draw a ton of people. Neal: "If you take a picture of my freshman year and this year, obviously it's going to be a little bit different but even my freshman year that relative to other games that was like, 'Oh man, this is great. This is an NBA game here.' But tonight, it doesn't get any better than that—students were great, fans were great. Definitely can't give them enough credit. They were very helpful. Just wish we could go and tell each of them how much they mean to the environment and to ultimately winning a basketball game."
- Neal also said he hoped the energy that turned Lloyd Noble Center electrict on Monday would stick around for other home games this season. "When we go on the road at KU, OSU, we're kind of on the other end of that," Neal said. "It's great to have that here. Hopefully this win can kind of push that forward and help them keep coming out and we'll be very thankful for that."
- Could the quick turnaround after Saturday's game at Texas Tech and this game have helped the Sooners? Neal said there might be something to that. With a young team, the Sooners weren't given much of a chance to think about the outside factors of Bedlam since they had to turn around and implement the game plan for the Cowboys in one practice Sunday.
- The Sooners got 30 points from the bench and outscored the Cowboys by six with their reserves. The total bench points were Oklahoma's third-highest of the season and highest since the this game of the season.
- Phil Forte was the reason the Cowboys were in the game in the first half. He nailed a LONG 3-pointer about 12 minutes into the game, capping off five consecutive points from him. He nailed another deep ball two minutes later. I'd seen Forte's range on TV but it's a different animal to watch in person. Reminded me of some of the ridiculously long 3-pointer that Keiton Page used to put up at Pawnee (and then OSU).
- Markel Brown's dunks are thrilling to watch. He made the SportsCenter top ten again tonight with a posterization of D.J. Bennett late in the first half.
- That play, though, showed a bit of why Bennett was so much better tonight than he had been for much of the season. Bennett has had a tendency to chase blocks too much to the detriment of staying in the game. For most of the year, Bennett might've gone after it strong even with no chance of making the play and wound up whistled for another foul. He was aggressive when he needed to be Monday but was smart enough to know when to back off a big and let things play out.
- Spangler's double-double was his Big 12-leading ninth of the season.

I'l start off by saying I'm another new guy to mountain biking, I plan on riding a lot more with the new bike(mostly XC)
Today I went to my LBS in search of a new HT. I saw a few Treks but was not impressed, the Gary Fisher Tassajara felt great and with a $529 year end discount it is quite economical(considering it's made in the USA and has the Pilot XC air-supported shocks)
If you have owned/ridden this bike please give me your opinions on it.
You may have seen my thread about the k2 zed 4.0, this is the other bike I am considering, so if you think the k2 is better or worse let me know.

MUSIC; Much of Latin Pop, Aging and Sterile, Isn't Keeping Pace
By PETER WATROUS
Published: August 6, 2000
LAST year was a great year for Latin music, and by extension Latin culture, in the United States, if one accepts that the enthusiastic reception of Latin music by non-Latinos was a true indication of the music's health. What happened, in fact, was that some of Latin music's most popular artists -- Ricky Martin in Latin pop and Marc Anthony in salsa -- made records in English that were huge sellers in the United States. As might be expected, the English-speaking press took notice.
The attendant articles and discussions promoted the idea of a flowering of Latin culture. The news media were discovering what had long been obvious to marketers, advertisers and venture capitalists: the Spanish-speaking population in the United States was growing and asserting itself culturally through its buying habits.
Optimists saw a rosy, multicultural future, in which the Anglo majority gave up some cultural room to the Hispanic minority, slapping them on the back and inviting them over to dinner. Meanwhile, pessimists grumbled and waited. In their view, Latin music in the United States was in big trouble, facing internal and external conflicts that were largely ignored by the commentators. And now, a year later, the fault lines have grown wider. As the pessimists predicted, the non-Hispanic media have lost interest in the story, and Latin music in the United States continues its tumble toward a state of crisis.
Salsa, the dance music from Puerto Rico and New York, offers a case in point. It is virtually dead both in terms of sales and the paucity of promising new artists. Where Marc Anthony, at the peak of his success three years ago, sold 400,000 copies of his album ''Contra la Corriente,'' the newest pretender to his throne, George Lamond, sold 41,000 copies of his album ''Entrega'' last year, putting him in the league of a good-selling jazz artist. (By comparison, Keith Jarrett's solo piano record ''The Melody at Night, With You'' was a hit last year, selling 84,000 copies.)
Latin record distributors along 10th Avenue in Manhattan are clamoring for new records to push to stores -- and not finding any. What is showing up, from labels large and small, is dreadful, badly produced and profoundly out of step with the times. To appeal to young consumers, salsa, like all pop music, must reflect their concerns. But there are few salsa singers under 30, and none showing much more than modest promise.
It isn't the artists' fault. The problems are systemic. In New York, where there had been hundreds of clubs in the 1960's and 1970's, places where artists could learn how to play and the art of dominating a room, there are now only a handful. Much the same thing is happening in Puerto Rico. And salsa record companies are a generation or two behind the time, selling salsa's elders, dressed in coat and tie, to teenagers who are just as much a product of hip-hop as they are of classic salsa. In a grave misstep, record companies have stifled innovation in salsa, and as a result the music has suffered.
Radio, once the music's lifeblood, has become a major part of the problem, sticking to imitations of years-old hits and ignoring new, youth-oriented trends, most notably timba, the dance music coming out of Cuba. Mega (WSKQ, 97.9 FM), the tropical station in New York, which was in the No. 2 spot last fall, fell to No. 6 this spring, according to the latest Arbitron ratings. Its programming has become lackluster, the music has grown stale and, unsurprisingly, listeners have tuned out.
What's happening in salsa is symptomatic of the difficulties facing all Latin music in the United States, and the reasons are many. Latin teenagers flex their bicultural muscles, moving through all the musical genres available on the radio and among their peers. It's entirely possible for a Latin teenager in New York to listen to the rapper Jay-Z one minute, the rock group Matchbox 20 the next and the reggae singer Sean Paul a moment later. All of it is well-made pop, tailored to the dance floor. It sounds good, translates well to radio and is on the receiving end of lots of promotional money from record companies, much of it aimed at the teenage market. Teenagers are buying the comfort of mass success.
Venture capitalists, advertisers and marketers are now hedging their bets, revising investments in the Latin market on the assumption that assimilation may rob the market of its uniform buying power. Experience has shown them that the influence of national loyalty lasts one generation, then shows up only occasionally thereafter. Latin teenagers act just like any other American teenagers, voting their aesthetic preference every time they buy music or turn on the radio.
IT is possible for salsa, and Latin pop more generally, to be a part of teenagers' listening habits, but it has to meet their definition of hipness (which more than ever means blackness), danceability and both songwriting and technological sophistication. In its current state, it comes with none of these elements. When two second-generation New York Spanish-speaking teenagers were asked to name the top three salsa stars a few weeks ago, they shrugged and said: ''There aren't any. Maybe D.L.G.'' -- a reference to Dark Latin Groove, a salsa group with an urban sound.

Kate Middleton and Prince William: 10 Ways They'll be Judged As ParentsMadeline Holler
The Royals, they're just like us … times a thousand! They grow up, go to college, meet a special someone, get engaged.
Sure, Will and Kate's engagement and impending nuptials have been speculated on for years and discussed in breathless detail in the lead up to the big day (finally, after a three-decade wait). But once Kate's sporting a baby bump, she and Will will become part of a club that so many of us have long been members of:
Parenthood, the state in which we're not only judged as equals, but we're all equally judged.
In the next decade or two when, presumably (as if they have a choice), William and Kate will join the rest of us in parental judgment. Here are 10 ways they'll be judged by their families, friends, community — and random people online that they've never even met (times a thousand!).
If Kate thinks the paparazzi are bad, wait until she joins a moms group!
1. Fertility
Kate Middleton is 29 years old, but with fertility, you never know. Say she has trouble getting pregnant, folks will want to know why she waited so long for her Prince Charming. What was with all the fun during her prime child-bearing years! Some will suspect frigidity. Others will blame her diet. "Relax!" the headlines will scream. "Royal's Consider Surrogate" some others will suggest.
2. Pregnancy weight-gain
Fertility crisis-averted, we can focus judgment on how Kate handles the pregnancy. She will either gain too much weight or not enough, eat too much junk or not enough, get too much exercise or not enough. She will be reviled is she doesn't get stretch marks.
2a. Post-pregnancy weight-loss
Not a pound should remain at the one-year mark, lest experts speculate that she's depressed, having relationship troubles or unleashing a suppressed disorder. Of course, if she loses the weight too quickly, there will be speculation that … she's depressed, having relationship troubles or unleashing a suppressed disorder.
3. Non-pregnant partner weight-gain and support
Is Will a supportive enough partner? Does he carry Kate's purse, help her step into the limo, and gently touch the belly protruding from Kate's one-of-a-kind Stella McCartney maxi-maternity dress? Does he test-drive strollers? Try on slings? Attend birth classes? Gain a few sympathy pounds? The answer in this day and age had better be yes. Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
3. Labor and delivery
Kate's pregnancy will be high-risk, no matter how healthy mother and child are. No one's taking any chances with the future of the Kingdom. Still, there's always room for judgment. If Kate goes with a popular midwife, she'll be taking unnecessary risks with her own life and that of her child. If she heads straight to the OB/GYN, she'll also face scrutiny for not believing in her amazing self. Here's hoping she has neither a castlebirth nor a c-section; that if she gets an epidural, she only asked for it near the end and had the anesthesiologist turn it off so she could push; which she did neither flat on her back nor on her hands and knees, with more than ice chips but less than a turkey sandwich to nosh on between contractions.
4. Dad in the delivery room
Just saying, Will better be there, holding Kate's hand and saying supportive words but nothing that could be construed as related to hypno-birthing or Lamaze. In the event of a vaginal delivery, Will should be willing to stand at least as far south as Kate's knees. He'll get less judgment, more praise (and extra distance from his own uptight father) if he moves in to catch the baby. C-section? Put on a cap and booties, he needs to stay with the baby, while also finding a way to put a comforting hand on Kate's head, until her hands are free to hold the child.
5. Feeding the baby
Oh, Kate, here's wishing enough — but not too much — breastfeeding success! But as any mother will tell you, feeding your baby is the battle you can't win. Kate will either nurse too much or too little, too openly or too hidden, she'll pump too much or use formula too much or be strangely fixated on/disgusted with mouth-to-nipple contact. She will wean too soon or nurse too long. Her brand of formula won't contain DHA, which is why, we'll suspect a few years down the road, the next generation of royal babies isn't walking or talking at the right time (whenever that is).
6. Caregivers
Kate and Will will get plenty of help. Oh, how the rest of us envy the frequency of Royal date nights! Which causes us to ask, is the child actually being raised by its mum or are too many nannies involved? You never see Kate out with the baby, she's always empty-handed. Does she even love this child? Is she too focused on herself? Her needs? How could she put a half-hour speech at some humanitarian event ahead of holding her sleeping baby? She's going to miss all the milestones!
What about Prince William? Come on, the guy's got a life, a job. He can't stay home chasing kids all day.
7. Changing diapers
The wrath Will should endure if he doesn't change a few every once in awhile — and talk about it a lot.
8. Carrying the baby
To ensure a secure bond, some will insist both parents tote the wee one in a sling or one of the many front-pack carriers on the market. Tip: if the Royal parents prefer pushing the baby in a stroller, feign back pain. It's the only way out of sling/stroller judgment.
8a. Unless, of course, the child is deemed by childless 20-somethings to be too old for a stroller.
9. Clothing
The Royals should steer clear of rock-n-roll onesies, which cause many to question whether the parents are ready to grow up. Also, layettes that include only luxury brands make the rest of the world think the Royals think they're better than us. Not too much pink and frill if it's a girl — you'll be accused of raising a little princess (which, in Kate and Will's case … whatever). Not too little pink if it's a boy — it's a post-gender world out there and a prince of the people should be willing to embrace it!
10. Family life
Too much time together and Kate will be accused of cutting the kids off from everyone else for her own selfish needs. Too much time apart and we'll hear a lot about history repeating itself. They should look to the Obamas for a model of public parenting in a judgy world. You can't escape the commentary completely — any mom or dad can tell you that. But you can love the kids, love each other, do your best and rise above. As most new parents eventually figure out, most important is to not give a rip what anybody else thinks about your parenting. In the case of the Royals, they shouldn't give a rip … times a thousand.
What else will the Royals face as new mum and dad?
