I disagree. In some situations it would be indulging the child to empathize with them, even if you don't give them what it is they are wanting. This comes up very rarely for us, but if the child's 'want' is really excessive, showing empathy or turning it into a fantasy sends the child the message that it's okay to be materialistic, it's indulging that feeling of selfishness that prompted the child to say "I want___" in the first place. When your child is whining for a toy for example (which apparently many here are so lucky this has never happened to them...but anyway) if your repsonse is "yeah, wouldn't that be nice to have that" it seems like a reinforcement of materialistic values. I don't think that's the best response for kids who already have so much more than they need anyway. I think the distinction between wants and needs must be taught and reinforced by the parents. That's my opinion. I show my DS loads of empathy and kindness, he isn't going to be filled with resentment because I occasionally tell him matter-of-factly that he doesn't need yet another hotwheels car or box of legos. On the contrary, I've found it works the best for my DS (who was born to argue) because it's a very common sense, blunt, and truthful answer.
I have found that empathizing with them regarding their disappointment over not being able to buy something, absolutely does not reinforce materialistic values. It reinforces compassion for other human beings and their feelings. It moves the focus from the material to the human, and teaches a lot about considering others.
I hear what you're saying, OP. It is neat--the sudden realization one can sometimes have about how differently one thinks now as opposed to "back then." When you realize how much you're perspective has changed. And how good that realization can sometimes feel, when you recognize all the good your change in thinking/perspective has brought to your life.
It's a Delight-Filled Life.
Yep, I hear what you're saying too OP. I felt it like I was on a totally different plane of thought when I realised how far I'd come in my own thinking. I find now though, I don't think about it so much - I used to analyse "myself then" and "myself now" quite a lot - more about my own journey than actually judging others on what they were doing though. It was about *me* not them. Now I generally just exist in my own bubble with my own kids and do what I do without observing scenarios around me.
PS..I was wondering who said their children haven't ever whined for a toy...
Therefore, to try to finish my thought: the behaviorist perspective would be that any parent who believes in responding to every, "Mommy, I want ..." with empathy, must simply have a child who never whines. Because if the parent had a child who whines, she'd understand that empathy "doesn't work" in every situation and can sometimes "reinforce" the whining.
I felt the pp's comment (that you're commenting on) really highlights the distinction between behaviorism and gentle discipline. With behaviorism, there's a belief that children are born without any intrinsic motivation to live cooperatively with others or to care about others' feelings.
So any time there's an undesirable behavior, there's a corresponding attempt to make sure nothing is done to "reinforce" the behavior. Hence the idea that empathizing with a child who's whining, will result in continued and worse whining.
This is in direct contrast to gentle discipline, which promotes a view of children as little people who desire to live in happy, loving, cooperative relationships with others, but who need our help to learn empathy and to learn about the effects of their behavior on others.
There may seem to be some overlap on the surface. For instance, LLL says that a baby who learns that he has to scream to get the breast, quickly learns to skip the preliminary phases of signaling hunger, such as rooting around, and just moves straight to screaming to get the fastest response.
So LLL recommends snuggling Baby close, and being attentive to those initial hunger cues, so you can latch Baby on and show him that screaming isn't necessary to get his needs met.
Therefore, gentle discipline advocates, such as LLL, do believe there's a relationship between what parents do and how children behave -- but it's still really the opposite of behaviorism, whose advocates often advise mothers to let babies fuss a bit before feeding, so they won't think their screaming will get "rewarded."
There are two very different attitudes toward infant screaming being expressed here: whereas I think all parents agree that screaming is unpleasant to listen to, behaviorists tend to perceive it as something that needs to be "negatively reinforced" out of the child (by withholding the sought-after "reward" ... which is really just punishment plain and simple).
Parents who practice gentle discipline view screaming as communication: it's the child's method for getting his needs met, if his more quiet hunger cues have consistently been ignored. Therefore, to avoid things reaching the screaming phase -- or to show an infant who was previously ignored, that things have changed and the parent is no longer going to make the child scream for his supper -- the gentle discipline parent is going to start holding Baby close and responding quickly at the first signal.
In the same way, I don't think any parent finds whining pleasant -- but a gentle discipline parent is more inclined to respond to the need beneath the whining -- such as the need for empathy and attention. There's less focus on making sure the whining is "nipped in the bud," and more focus on creating a situation where the child no longer feels he has to whine to get his needs met.
Edited to Add: Therefore, to try to finish my thought: the behaviorist perspective would be that any parent who believes in responding to every, "Mommy, I want ..." with empathy, must simply have a child who never whines. Because if the parent had a child who whines, she'd understand that empathy "doesn't work" in every situation and can sometimes "reinforce" the whining.
How can you say kids are born social creatures but aren't born empathetic? That seems like an oxymoron.
|I also think there's a huge difference between infants and preschoolers and older kids, nobody was advocating CIO.
I don't know for sure if cutting the conversation short by saying, "You don't need that," will stunt a child's ability to develop empathy. But it does seem to close the door on at least one opportunity to think, imagine, and problem-solve.
I also think it's just a strange thing to say. "You don't need another Hot Wheels car." He didn't need the first or second Hot Wheels car, either, but you presumably bought those for him. What makes the 25th car different?
The message it seems to me to send isn't that there's a difference between wants and needs. The message I'd get, if I were the child, is that you, the parent, decide what you're in the mood to buy on a particular day, by some seemingly arbitrary criteria.
I guess it would make more sense to me if you always told your children, "You don't need that," when they asked you for anything beyond the basic necessities of life, but who actually does that?
Also..I remembering looking at candles at a department store and my MIL said "you don't need any more candles" (I have quite a few, I love them) and I was like "where does she get off..."I can't imagine why a child would appreciate being told that anymore than I did.
She could have simply said "you have a lot of candles, you must really like them"
So true.
And what's the fastest way to prove that person wrong? Buy the thing, of course. Prove to them that you DO need it (even if you don't) and that YOU will decide what you need and don't thankyouverymuch.
I don't think most people like it when others make those sorts of calls for them. I know I wouldn't.
It's just one of those, "it only takes a minute to be kind," situations for me. And in the case of your MIL: "Manners are free."
Mammal_mama, I think you put it very well, and your phrasing was free of judgment. You have a rare gift, and I hope you can tell I mean that sincerely.
It sums up fairly succinctly why this board has so much... drama, and why I don't think I can do GD.
As someone whose kid is currently on the inside and therefore perfect in every way (), I categorically refuse to choose a parenting method at this time. I need to see what his personality is like before I choose a method, for heaven's sake. But I am trying to do my research in advance, and figure out what I can do/live with/learn. Obviously GD is something I needed to learn more about before making that call, since more mainstream methods are all around me. Lurking here has been... educational, and I've been forming opinions.
I read the OP, and after all my reading here, I too immediately thought "that small child is trying to communicate that he wants to leave the bookstore, and feels unheard." It seems like this thread split into two camps - those who thought that the mother and child should therefore leave the store, and those who thought the mother and child should complete the errand.
I want my son to be happy and successful in a world that is neither gentle nor fair. It usually IS someone's turn to bite the bullet when it comes to unpleasant but necessary tasks. If I can teach him to do so with grace, without being a doormat, I will have succeeded at the only thing I'll ever do that really matters. It seems like teaching him from a very early age that his needs, preferences, and whims are always the final veto will set him up to fail in life, and to be a very unhappy person in general. That may not be the intent of GD, but it sounds, to me, as though that is the way it is practiced by the most zealous of the method's adherents.
I wish there was a discipline forum with a bit of a happy medium, because I expect that's where most of us fall.
About empathy -- I do realize that some kinds of empathy require absolutely no explanation on our part, for kids to pick up on them.
For instance, I believe that all children who are accustomed to having their own cries compassionately responded to, will automatically respond to other children's cries with compassion. I've noticed this empathy in both my girls, from a very early age.
Well, um, I never let either ds CIO, and I never tell them to shut up when they are upset, or crying, and my ds1 has taken to telling his brother to "cry your speckled brains out". (see sig) Not very empathetic, but also nothing we have ever said, or done to him, so...:
Jessica, I'm sorry you feel I've been unfair.
As far as what I said about the horse, I'm glad to hear that you are open to brainstorming with your daughter about various ways to achieve her horse-related dreams. I'd had the impression that you (or maybe it was another poster -- I'm not sure, and haven't gone back to check) felt that this sort of brainstorming was "giving the illusion of choice where there really was no choice."
|when I really, really, really wanted a horse, my parents were very good about it, even though they definitely didn't want a horse. They helped me calculate all the things that we would need, how much it would cost, and they also had me research all the things that I would have to do to take care of a horse. In other words, they took me seriously, even though I was probably about 9-10, when they could have just said no, too expensive, too much work. I'd like to be to do things like that.
|I guess I just don't believe in ever saying "never" about stuff. I feel like I never really know for sure what might become possible over time. So while I certainly wouldn't promise my child a horse, I wouldn't feel like I was "giving the illusion of choice" by saying, "Let's pursue your interest in the ways we can right now, and we'll just see what works out."
Well, I don't think anyone likes to be told that they are being inconsiderate, but sometimes it needs to be said, don't you think so?
|My thing is, I feel it would be extremely inconsiderate for me to presume to tell someone else whether s/he has a valid reason to be upset.
I think that's the sign of a healthy relationship and interpersonal dynamic that we listen to each other even when it's not all sunshine and roses.
|Yes, I agree. However, I also see the ability to stop my "tantrum," and listen and be rational while someone else tells me what a jerk I'm being, as a real mark of maturity. It's way more maturity than many adults are able to muster up when their emotions are raging.
|So, I would see the ability to listen "when it's not all sunshine and roses" (I'm assuming this means when the storms are raging and thorns are pricking?) as something that maybe I should try to model for my dear children -- but not an ability that I'd expect them to have right-off-the-bat (especially since I don't consistently have this ability at age 43!).
Okay so I wandered back over and I'm trying to understand....Is it an ethical thing about the horses or that they're too expensive or is it something else? Is it like, "I will never buy my 16 year old a car?

Apple and rhubarb crumble recipe
To prepare the topping, place all ingredients into a food processor and pulse to combine. Pour into a medium bowl, and scrunch through your fingers
Serving Size:
6 individual pots or one family size
Special Info:
Egg free, Nut free
- 500g rhubarb, top and tailed, peeled and cut into 5cm pieces
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 50g butter, diced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 Granny smith apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup castor sugar
- 1/3 cup plain flour
- 100g butter, slightly soft
To prepare the topping, place all ingredients into a food processor and pulse to combine. Pour into a medium bowl, and scrunch through your fingers to form small clumps. If you're not using the crumble mixture straightaway, place it into a plastic bag until needed.
Preheat oven to 190°C.
Place rhubarb pieces into a baking dish, sprinkle over sugar, butter and lemon juice, stir to combine then place in oven and cook for 20minutes.
Remove from oven and turn up the heat to 210°C.
Add sliced apples to rhubarb mixture, stir well to combine.
Place mixture into 6 individual ramekins; add a handful of topping to each then bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
- I love rhubarb - it reminds me of cold nights at my grandparent's house. Topped with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream it is hard to beat.
- You need to peel the rhubarb otherwise it will have a stringy texture. Use a veggie peeler for the job - it doesn't all have to come off, just concentrate on the tougher edges.

Petz Scholtus
Petz left Luxembourg in 2000 to study eco-design at Goldsmiths College in London. Her work took her to the UK, the small Tanzanian island Pemba, the Netherlands, New York City and to Barcelona where she has been living since 2004. There she met Graham Hill in 2005 and since then wrote almost 500 articles for TreeHugger. Some of her projects as an eco-designer are the R3project, the StuffBump and We Need More Trees cards. You can see more of her previous work on Pöko Design.
Petz believes in design for people, planet and profit, connecting people and eating local food. She loves simplicity, good design and fairness, making practical and fun things, bringing people together (the more the better), traveling, speaking 5.5 languages, scuba diving, open air parties, and her wormcompost on the balcony.
Since 2013 she is bringing all of this together under one project: yök Casa + Cultura. Casa stands for eco-friendly tourist accommodation and Cultura reflects the true local culture in Barcelona. yök (from the Catalan word "lloc" meaning "place") will be a social hub where visitors and locals come together to share good design and a sustainable lifestyle. The eco-renovation of the over 100-year-old space has started in February 2014 and yök hopes to open this summer.

California Customers - Prop 65
Dear California Customer of Peepers® Reading Glasses,
"Prop 65" is a California state environmental law requiring that a warning be provided by anyone who in the course of doing business in California exposes individuals to a chemical that California has placed on its regulated list. Bisphenol A (BpA) was recently added to this list.
Peepers by PeeperSpecs uses polycarbonate plastic in its products, and trace amounts of BpA exist in polycarbonate. While the risk of exposure to BpA due to contact with our polycarbonate products is extremely remote given the miniscule levels present in our products, Peepers by PeeperSpecs is electing to post the following state-approved warning for all of its products sold in California that contain BpA, effective immediately:
"WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm".
Please call our customer service team at 800-348-2508 with any questions.
Distortion Free Lenses
All of our readers offer aspheric lenses which are great for a couple reasons. Here's why you should care:
• First off, these are much flatter than your traditional curved lens which creates less distortion while reading. Less distortion equals less eye fatigue translating into happier eyes!
• They are also thin and light weight which means added comfort while wearing for long periods of time.
• Lastly, because they are thin they are more ascetically appealing, especially when you begin graduating into those higher strengths! No more coke bottles pretending to be lenses here!
Polycarbonate Frame
We use polycarbonate for the majority of our frames for its versatility and durability. This type of plastic allows us to use multiple types of color treatments creating the hundreds of different looks and frame shapes you'll find on our site. Being that it is also extremely light weight and high impact resistant gives our customers a long lasting, durable pair of glasses.
Dual Anti-Scratch Coating
All of our lenses have an anti-scratch hard coated treatment on both sides of the lens (hence why we say dual). They are dipped into the solution which ensures an equal amount is applied to both sides. One more way we ensure our lenses stand up to daily wear and tear.
Readers featuring our anti-glare coating helps to eliminate reflections of light from the front and back surface of the lenses. With fewer reflections, more light can pass through the lens creating more transparent, vivid images. These are also great for reducing eye fatigue trying to fight nasty glare from your computer screen.
Spring Hinges
We offer spring hinges for added comfort and durability. The hinge is actually spring loaded and helps reduce the amount of pressure applied to your head and the frame.
UV360 Protection
All of our lenses offer UV360 protection. This allows us to block the most harmful UV light from your eyes without any tint
at all!
Free Case
We include a free case with all of our peepers! One more way we help you take care of your glasses offering fashionable protection.

After decades of preparation, the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)
are taking the first steps toward resolving many long-standing puzzles about fundamental
physics at the weak scale. There were high expectations for early discovery of Supersymmetry (SUSY) at
the beginning of the LHC search program. This talk summarizes the current experimental status and strategies used by the CMS Collaboration in the search for SUSY involving jets and missing energy in fully hadronic and leptonic final states. SUSY mass scales in the TeV range are excluded by these preliminary results. This poses the questions: Is SUSY still alive? And is it still accessible within the LHC reach for 7 TeV pp collisions?

MARC 17/S/U67/WE Ophthalmic Glasses
MARC 17/S is a fashion statement, for which sunshine is not necessarily required, because these sunglasses enhance your natural radiance turning night into day. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of MARC 17/Sin our 2015, and 2016 Marc Jacobs range.
This Marc Jacobs model is an all-rounder, equally suiting men and women. Full rim frames completely enclose the lenses within the frame. For a convinced eyeglass wearer, any other frame style is ruled out, with very few exceptions. If you have a more round or oval face, the rectangular shape creates a contrast, showing yourself in a new light. Plastic frames like these combine durability and are comfortable to wear. The MARC 17/S is a very snug fit on the ears and nose. The colour blue is fresh and modern. Having the courage to choose such an exciting colour offers a new approach. Blue glasses are a distinctive fashion statement. However, they are not suitable for driving. Functionally, you are, of course, on the safe side, too. With 100% UV eye protection, the sun can immediately start shining.
The respective lenses are also available in your prescription strength. Our digital dispensing optician will help you find the cheapest option.
The model has already been ordered and will shortly be back in stock. If you order now, you will get the reduced price and once the goods arrive, we will send you your new Marc Jacobs on the same day. And because Edel-Optics is a paradise for bargain hunters, you can get this top model at an incredibly low price. What is labelled as "in the sale" at other online shops, is for us "all-day-everyday" prices.

The pre-launch characterization and calibration of remote sensing instruments should be planned and carried out in conjunction with their design and development to meet the mission requirements. In the case of infrared instruments, the onboard calibrators such as blackbodies and the sensors such as spectral radiometers should be characterized and calibrated using SI traceable standards. In the case of earth remote sensing, this allows intercomparison and intercalibration of different sensors in space to create global time series of climate records of high accuracy where some inevitable data gaps can be easily bridged. The recommended best practice guidelines for this pre-launch effort is presented based on experience gained at National Institute of Standards and technology (NIST), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) programs in the past two decades. The currently available radiometric standards and calibration facilities at NIST serving the remote sensing community are described. Examples of best practice calibrations and intercomparisons to build SI traceable uncertainty budget in the instrumentation used for preflight satellite sensor calibration and validation are presented.

Afterall they have not created the next big idea and are still selling advertising for a living.
Will they bounce back or will investors now take a more realistic look at their business model?
Who knows perhaps Yahoo may even buy them :)
UBS cut its price target on Google Inc after U.S. paid-search data for January showed Google's sponsored clicks, the basis for its advertising revenue, fell 7 percent sequentially, and shares of the Web search giant tumbled more than 8 percent.
"While Google's search volumes were decent (up 39 percent year-on-year), actual paid clicks were flat...continuing a decidedly negative trend," analyst Benjamin Schachter said in a note.

Google reminds me of Altavista a few years ago.
Sorry, but this comparison always drives me nuts. Altavista was a neglected stepchild of a company. There was no money in search in their day.
They didn't get the funding they needed from their parent company, so they couldn't innovate. Management changed a bunch of times, dotcom crash, etc etc.
Is Google innovating in search? Yes. Well-funded? Yes.
There's always the possibility of someone startup revolutionizing search tech the way they did. But I think it's highly unlikely for the foreseeable future.

Marshall reports: "Jonathan Henderson of New Orleans-based Gulf Restoration Network is flying Louisiana's coast looking for oil. As usual, he's found some."

Telltale Rainbow Sheens Show Thousands of Spills Across the Gulf
20 April 14
onathan Henderson of New Orleans-based Gulf Restoration Network is flying Louisiana's coast looking for oil. As usual, he's found some.
"Just in the last year, I have filed 50 reports for different leaks and spills unrelated to the BP disaster."
- Jonathan Henderson, Gulf Restoration Network
"I just noticed something out of the corner of my eye that looks like a sheen that had some form to it," he says. "We're going to go take a closer look and see if there's a rainbow sheen."
It's a target-rich environment for Henderson, because more than 54,000 wells were planted in and off this coast — part of the 300,000 wells in the state. They're connected by thousands of miles of pipelines, all vulnerable to leaks.
And leak they do. Louisiana admits to at least 300,000 barrels spilled on its land and in its waters each year, 20 percent of the nation's total. But those figures come from a system that depends largely on oil companies to self-report.
The problem went mostly unnoticed until the largest spill in U.S. history back on April 20, 2010, drew environmental groups to the coast looking for BP's oil.
"I started noticing, towards the end of 2010, other leaks that were unrelated to the BP disaster," Henderson says. "I would find wellheads that were leaking or platforms that were leaking. Just in the last year, I have filed 50 reports for different leaks and spills unrelated to the BP disaster."
Under the Clean Water Act, when a company spills any amount of oil in the water, it must file a report with the National Response Center run by the Coast Guard. But when Henderson checked, he found many of those smaller spills were not making that list.
So environmental groups formed the Gulf Monitoring Consortium to get a better count on spills. The partnership is a blend groups of complementary skills.
Gulf Restoration Network, for example, has personnel who can spot spills from the air and file complete reports.
SouthWings, a group of volunteer pilots, helps get those spotters aloft.
A third member, the West Virginia-based tech group SkyTruth, finds the spills on satellite photographs, then applies a formula used by spill experts to translate the size of the oil sheen into gallons of oil in the water.
SkyTruth spokesman David Manthos says its estimates typically are much higher than what's been reported.
"We found that the spill was usually 10 times larger than had been reported, and that was averaged out across a lot," he says. "In some, the mismatch was much larger than that."
The sheer size of the industry here means there's seldom a quiet day for the consortium. In an average year, the NRC receives 10,000 reports of spills in the Gulf.
It's a number that surprised even SouthWings Gulf Program Director Meredith Dowling, a veteran of monitoring efforts.
"I can't think of a single instance where our volunteers have flown offshore and not found spills," Dowling says. "This was something that was really amazing to me when I first moved here ... that is was a continuous, absolute failure of business-as-usual practices."
The partners hope their work educates the public to the scope of the problem, and perhaps gets governments to end the voluntary compliance model and turn to aggressive enforcement by outside groups.

They are a polite way of saying "Butt Out - We do what we want to do, and there is nothing, and no one, than can stop us".
An effective spill detection regime would have 1) federal agents searching for spills at least as aggressively as they search for illegal immigrants crossing the Rio Grande, 2) highly visible signs on every pipeline or other piece of infrastructure identifying its owner and/or environmentally responsible party, 3) periodic "fingerprinting " of all oil sources, against which to quickly identify spilled oil, 4) a fine structure which incentivizes oil companies to self-report by making the fines far higher if the feds detect a leak before before the company reports it, 5) funding for enforcement and cleanup via a per-barrel extraction fee, with higher fees for frequent spillers, 6) easy public digital access to a database of all spill reports, 7) rapid federal cleanup of any spills, 8) rapid assignment of cost to a responsible party (let the oil companies set up their own consortium to absorb responsibility in cases where there's doubt), and 9) equally rapid repayment by the responsible party for the cost of cleanup.
The bigger picture remains: Lousiana pols are even more in bed with big oil than are the feds; big oil's canals have destroyed Louisiana's coastline and the flood protection it provides, and we all use way too much oil.

Flavonoid in Hawthorn Acts as Natural ACE Inhibitor
Byron's Comments:
This study indicates one way that hawthorn may help relax your vascular system. The Chinese herb in this study is a wild rhubarb, although this study is widely quoted for a benefit of hawthorn as the active component tested is in both herbs.
Study Title:Inhibitory Effects of Condensed Tannins on Angiotensin Converting Enzyme.
Study Abstract:
Effects of condensed tannins isolated from Rhei Rhizoma on the activities of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and various proteases were examined in vitro. Among the various condensed tannins tested, procyanidin B-5 3, 3' di-O-gallate and procyanidin C-1 3, 3', 3''-tri-O-gallate strongly inhibited the activity of ACE. The concentration of procyanidin B-5 3, 3'-di-O-gallate required for 50% inhibition of ACE was 1.3×10-6 M. The inhibition of ACE by condensed tannins was reversible and non-competitive, according to dialysis and to Dixon plots. However, over one hundred times the concentration was required to inhibit activities of other proteases such as trypsin, chymotrypsin, leucine aminopeptidase, carboxypeptidase A and urinary kallikrein. These results suggest that the inhibitory effects of condensed tannins on the activities of ACE are specific.

Toronado (Zorro's horse)
Toronado / Tornado is a horse ridden by the character Zorro in several movies and books. Toronado is referred to as a black Andalusian in the movie The Mask of Zorro, however in filming a Friesian plays the role. Toronado is said to be very intelligent and very fast. His name is pronounced in the Spanish way, "tor-NAH-do" (except in The Mask of Zorro). Being as jet-black as Zorro's costume enables horse and rider to more easily elude capture at night.
Over the decades and the many stories, there have been several Toronado/Tornados all specific to their Zorros.
In Isabel Allende's novel Zorro, Toronado is given to Don Diego de la Vega upon his return to California, by his milk brother, Bernardo, and Bernardo's wife, Light-in-the-night, who trained it. During Bernardo and Diego's Indian initiation ritual before leaving for Spain, Bernardo notices a black foal tentatively following him while he is alone in the woods. Gradually, he befriends the horse, and names him Toronado (pending the horse's approval). He plans to tame Toronado and give him to Diego, but when he wakes up after three days the horse is gone (only to show up again later). Instead of a gift, he[clarification needed] takes it as a sign that the horse is his spirit guide, and plans to "develop the horse's virtues: loyalty, strength, and endurance" (76).
In The Mask of Zorro, when Diego returns to his home after being imprisoned for twenty years he finds that everything, including the original Toronado is gone. (The novelization states that Toronado probably stayed in the area for as long as possible for love of his master before wandering away.) His successor, Alejandro Murrieta, finds himself his own horse which he names Toronado after the first horse. (The novelization suggests that it may be the son of the earlier Toronado.) It is an intelligent animal, but was at first poorly disciplined and seemed to deliberately make life difficult for his would-be master. For example, when Zorro prepared to jump from a building onto his horse's back, Toronado walked a few steps forward so his master fell on the streets when he jumped. In this film's sequel, The Legend of Zorro, Toronado changes from obeying to disobeying Alejandro at various times, explained in the film as the horse's inability to correctly interpret English commands.
The horse in The Legend of Zorro was actually a Friesian horse, named Ariaan [1] and was chosen because he wasn't very big. ("Antonio Banderas, who plays Zorro, isn't a very tall man. If he had to ride a big horse he would have looked tiny on the silver screen") [2]. Another horse, the Friesian gelding Tonka, was also used in the movie as a backup. He was used in some galloping scenes and when Ariaan, a stallion, didn't want to cooperate.

"Congratulations Debbie on your Site!!! Five Years Younger Anti-Aging Skin Care is by far the best product I've ever used! After being asked to write about a couple of my favorite products, I was torn between all of them. From the state-of-the-art moisturizers to the serums loaded with ingredients research has shown are of great benefit to skin, each product has amazing, instant and long-term effects that I will always find beneficial. In being able to combine products to create your very own beauty regimen depending on your needs for that day, week or month, this line has all the essentials one can ask for. Since I have to choose, I'll speak about my favorite beauty routines. The products I use depends on the time of day and what my needs are. In the morning, I start by cleansing my face with Five Years Younger Milky Cleanser, then I use Five Years Younger Sparkle Glow Serum. For an amazing radiance, I'll combine the Five Years Younger Sunshine Cream, Five Years Younger Vitamin C 14% Serum and/or Five Years Younger Beauty Repair Oil, Five Years Younger B5 Booster Serum and Five Years Younger Smoothing Eye Gel. At night, I cleanse with the Five Years Younger Micro Mini Scrub Cleanser then I combine the Five Years Younger Retinol Cream and the Five Years Younger Celebrity Oil and/or the Five Years Younger Beauty Repair Oil. Of course I mix and match each of these products depending on my skins needs.
I've always struggled with very dry, dehydrated skin and after having my baby my skin looked old and worn out. I really thought I'd never get that supple, radiant glow back. Since I've been using the Five Years Younger products the results have been amazing! I haven't looked or felt better about my skin in years. The compliments I've been getting on my appearance have been astonishing and now I finally feel like I have a product that will continue to work for me for years to come.
Thank you Debbie for all your hard work and serious dedication. Without you and your expertise I don't think I'd be where I am at today. After all, you have to feel good inside and out. Thanks for helping me put on a happy face. "Joanie Barocio

Yes! Snow is a great excuse to sit in your house and listen to old records. No! You don't want to be doing that and nothing else until May. Buy some of these path-creating tools and you'll be able to come and go as you please. Especially if you end up needing The Electrician.
There's NO business like SNOW business, like NO business I know...
Some of these mornings you just have to burst out into song, sorry about that. Have you already gotten the first snow of the season? Which tool do you recommend?
Im sure its for people with bad backs, but my god that looks unwieldy and bizarre
Have found the ergo ones work well for fluffy snow but definitely not the heavy stuff. Plus, quite often, you still need a pusher/scraper to get the rest of the stuff off the walk/drive.
That is one expensive shovel. No thanks. Also, I have never found an 'ergo' shovel that actually works as well as a normal one. This one, I'm willing to bet money that it's a PITA to use.
And, you need a step on plate on BOTH SIDES of the boot brush. Good luck not falling over stepping on the plate on the right with your left foot while you try to clean your right boot.
And, yes, I realize you could turn it around, but that's stupid.
Seriously, who designs this crap?
Can they add a seat to the wheeled one and allow the option to ride it like a unicycle? I'm sure it would feature prominently in the next snow circus!
When it comes to the light, fluffy stuff, nothing's easier than a good outdoor broom, especially on stairs. The heavy stuff? Buy a snow blower. After clearing a driveway, full flight of stairs and the sidewalk after a storm that dumped 2 feet of wet snow in a day, there's no way I ever want to do that again.
C'mon, just call Mr. Plow!
Been using these for years... One's at home for clearing a long drive way. And have another one for clearing the paved yard at our warehouse. They move a lot of snow fast. Have had no problems with moving heavy snow either. This particular model disassembles for easier storage - a definite plus over the older models.
-Not a shill
The 19th century called and wants its Nootools SW00301 Snow Wolf Wheeled Shovel back.
You're kidding right? I've shoveled plenty of drives and have no idea how this would make my life easier... I am baffled at the idea of slapping a wheel on a snow shovel...
I think some of you guys need a little visualization. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cojezg-2auw
Honestly, for $30, I'd be in for one of the snow wolf's. Looks like it would make things a lot easier.
However, $120 puts it well out of my "yeah, I think I'll try that" range.
My neighbor had one of these and what a colossal POS it was. it was "OK" for light fluffy show of a few inches, but anything over that and it was an awkward contraption to maneuver. Heavy wet snow? fergetaboutit!
I've used a steel shovel similar to the Ames 1642000 Aluminum Snow Pusher for close to 20 years. Steel is pretty heavy, but since you just push it like a snow plow it hasn't mattered too much to me.
Its great for 1-3 inches of just about any snow from fluffy to slushy. Anything deeper than 3" and I switch to a standard "lift and throw" shovel.
The old steel one is long overdue for replacement. I haven't been able to find this design at local stores, so I am quickly talking myself into buying.
Thanks Woot!
Hey staffers, according to Amazon reviewers, the Ames 1630400 Arctic Blast Snow Pusher, 24-Inch is a plastic shovel with no steel strip. I didn't think there was one in the picture. Look at: http://www.amazon.com/Ames-True-Temper-1630400-24-Inch/dp/B001I45UBQ
Have had one of these for 5 years..moved a lot of Vermont snow. If you have back trouble these are great, as you push down instead of lifting.

Have had no problems with moving heavy snow either. This particular model disassembles for easier storage - a definite plus over the older models.

Can we put a motor on it?
Anybody try the Liquid Snow Shovel? Wonder if it's like what they spray on roads? It would be great to have it on the drive and watch the neighbors shoveling - that's if it works well in NE Ohio snow storms!!

Have not tried this brand in particular, but I have used others. It works as well as rock salt or CaCl, if not necessarily better. The benefit is, once it dries, you won't have salty shoes.
I have no idea if it's the same as what they spray on the roads, but probably.
I found it easier to use on smaller areas, as spreading it out over the whole driveway is a bit of a pain, but I might be doing it wrong.
It will keep ice and small amounts of snow melted. It will not help if you get dumped on. YMMV
I've had the Snow Wolf for three years and it's a really handy tool. You can clear a large space and end up with no sore back. It doesn't work so well with snow over, say, six inches---or if it's particularly wet, heavy snow. That's because you have the push the shovel through the snow until you reach a point where you can dump the snow. If you're doing a wide driveway and the snow is deep, you end up halfway across with a completely full shovel and you're not in a place to dump it. You can elevate the shovel and wheel it to the dumping place, but it's far from ideal.
I have a snowblower and I use it when the snow is too deep for the Snow Wolf. I like using the Snow Wolf when I can because it's good exercise without being a pain and, unlike with a snowblower, you scrape right down to the pavement.
Shipping Note: Shipping to Hawaii is not available for this item.
Wait I can't get a snow shovel in Hawaii? That is so wrong. I was going to shovel so much snow this winter with this bad boy.

When it comes to the light, fluffy stuff, nothing's easier than a good outdoor broom, especially on stairs. The heavy stuff? Buy a snow blower...
I am near Lake Erie myself and most years we get dumped on pretty bad.
I usually take a shovel to the heavy stuff, moving it to the sides, (dont have a car so just get enough of the driveway to get out of the house) so I can broom a nice level crunchy traction.
The worse thing to do is clean it to the sidewalk where whatever melts will most likely ice over at nite causing real back breaking slips and falls.
btw, if your postman is like mine and goes thru the yards - I always sweep a path for him to and from both neighbors to/from my box... Those outdoor brooms really do a great job on snow!

but maybe volcanic ash?
i am now appreciating the idea of shoveling out a volcano.
You said it. It is a pain to go up to the observatory and bring snow down in a truck with just a sand shovel.
I gave my husband the Snow Wolf (actually same shovel with a different brand name) a few years ago. We have a very long wide driveway that services that passes two homes near the street and services two homes at the top. The first year we had it, we had blizzard conditions on the east coast. I cannot believe how well the shovel worked. What would have taken at least 4 hours was done in one, with no back pain. The directions say to shovel in a chevron pattern and snow did build up a wall at the edge of the driveway, but on our next pass, as he snow kept falling, we were able to jettison the new snow over the wall with not much effort. Also, good, in some sort of Tom Sawyer twist, we found that the neighbors wanted to give the Snow Wolf a try, so we could have likely gotten the driveway done with no effort at all at least once.
We haven't had much snow since then, but more is expected this year and we are certainly happy that we are well equipped.
I live in South Dakota where we have real winters and anything plastic will break when you are shoveling in hard wind packed snow at -10 degrees. I use an aluminum grain shovel, a good old yellow scrapper and a snow blower when it is deep.
have an easier way to deal with snow. I live in South Texas where it hardly ever snows, and when it does (like every 15-20 years) it doesn't hang around long. lol
I figure the very best place to see snow is in a painting or framed photograph. That way nobody's having to deal with the stuff. The next best way to see snow is in a satellite feed on TV. At least it's a long ways away and the people dealing with it are living in places where it happens a lot. The next-to-worst place for me to see snow is on the other side of a window. That means it has snowed here. ABSOLUTE WORST place to see snow - IMHO - is the other side of the windshield of my car. That means I'm having to drive in the stuff and deal with the clueless wishbones who cannot understand the sing rule for driving on snow or ice - DON'T DO ANYTHING FAST!!!
I still use my 20 year old "Snauger" that some guy invented. Ace hardware bought the rights but never promoted it well. Imagine a snow shovel with a horizontal auger that movers the snow to the right and out, so it never builds up in front of you.
Mentioned before, but with no response from woot!...

Ciao Barbara:
In Donald E. Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming (Third Edition),
I found on p. 135 a section on Random points on an n-dimensional
sphere with radius one. If I have understood correctly that section,
uniformly distributed points on the surface of the unit sphere in the
first octant can be obtained as follows: Take 3 uniformly distributed
variables x, y and z in [0,1] and form the point
{x,y,z,}/Sqrt[x^2+y^2+z^2]. In Mathematica this can be implemented by
rPt3D := Module[{x = Random[], y = Random[], z = Random[]},
pts[n_]:= Table[Point[rPt3D],{n}];
To see thousand random points on the surface of the unit sphere, in the
first octant, use
Show[Graphics3D[pts[1000],ViewPoint -> { 4,4,6}]];
A similar method would be this one: select at random x and y in [0,1]
until you get x, y such that x^2+y^2 <= 1.The point
will be then on the surface of the unit sphere. This can be implemented
newPt3D := Module[{ x = Random[ ], y = Random[ ]},
While[x^2 + y^2 > 1, x = Random[ ]; y = Random[ ]];
Return[{x,y, Sqrt[1 - x^2 - y^2]}]];
pts[n_]:= Table[Point[newPt3D],{n}];
Show[Graphics3D[pts[1000],ViewPoint ->{ 4,4,6}]];
The points obtained by either one of these two methods appear to be
uniformly distributed on the surface of the unit sphere in the first

TravelBlog: Notes from the PTA convention
Dr. Warren ThrockmortonDr. Warren Throckmorton's Weblog
- 2005 Jun 25
I am presenting at a meeting of the Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays (PFOX) regarding schools safety and sexual orientation this weekend in Columbus, Ohio. We had planned to present this information at the PTA meeting at their exhibit hall. However, as has been widely reported the PTA chose to have PFLAG exhibit and denied PFOX attendance. Here are some notes from the field.
We held a press conference attended by about 20 people, including Ron Schlittler, Assistance Executive Director of the Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG). This morning, the Washington Times reported the differences between the two groups.

TO the lore of no manner of men
Would his vision have yielded
When he found what will never again
From his vision be shielded,
Though he paid with as much of his life
As a nun could have given,
And to-night would have been as a knife,
Devil-drawn, devil-driven.
For to-night, with his flame-weary eyes
On the work he is doing,
He considers the tinder that flies
And the quick flame pursuing.
In the leaves that are crinkled and curled
Are his ashes of glory,
And what once were an end of the world
Is an end of a story.
But he smiles, for no more shall his days
Be a toil and a calling
For a way to make others to gaze
On Gods face without falling.
He has come to the end of his words,
And alone he rejoices
In the choiring that silence affords
Of ineffable voices.
To a realm that his words may not reach
He may lead none to find him;
An adept, and with nothing to teach,
He leaves nothing behind him.
For the rest, he will have his release,
And his embers, attended
By the large and unclamoring peace
Of a dream that is ended.

You are the CMO or the head of marketing for your company, and you've just finalized your social media plans for 2011 at the request of the CEO. Despite the unknowns out there, you are comfortable with your target audience, your message, your content plan, and the platforms you will use. You've even got a great candidate who loves the brand and wants to be the evangelist. But last week, your social media evangelist brought you an iPad to try out. You take it home for the weekend, you use it nonstop, and now you are thinking, "Where does this fit in my plans for next year?" While 2011 will see huge growth in spending on mobile advertising, and the display and search markets are back on track from the semi-slump of 2009, where does the iPad and other tablets to be announced from Google, Dell, Nokia, and others fit into your plans?
From a marketer's perspective, the Web browser is pretty well understood — targeted banner ads that ideally would be integrated into content so as not to be intrusive. Mobile is getting cooler, and the ad platform to support visible ads on small screens is in the hands of the two (now) most popular smartphone platforms, Apple and Android. But this tablet segment seems to be gaining traction as a platform for what marketers dream of:

best ceiling paint to hide imperfections
Did a lot of repair/sheet rock during kitchen remodel. Two soffits removed and parts re-sheet rocked. Ceiling is done but there are still some small imperfections- After I prime the ceiling- any good recommendations on brand/type of paint that will best hide these for my kitchen?
The trick is to fix the flaws not try and cover them up.
Primer and paint will just make them show up more.
There is no magic thick paint.
It's one thing to seal a stain, quite another to try and fix a high, rough or low spot.

The Man who Put Prostitutes and Hiroshima in Hong Kong Movies
Throughout the 1960's, Patrick Lung Kong made around 14 films, a slow pace by the standards of Cantonese Cinema. But through those films he managed to break away from tradition, drawing both praise and criticism, while inspiring a new wave of filmmakers like Tsui Hark and John Woo.
Now, Lung Kong's films are coming to New York with a retrospective at The Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria. "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow: The Cinema of Patrick Lung Kong" will screen nine films, seven of them directed by Lung Kong and two that he has influenced (from John Woo, Tsui Hark and Patrick Lam.)
Lung Kong began his career as an actor and went on to work at Kong Ngee Company in a number of different roles ranging from screenwriter to a job in publicity. By the time he was promoted to director, the film industry was focused on producing quantity over quality and Cantonese cinema was at its lowest point, said Lung Kong.
"The films that we could see at the time, many of them were Cantonese opera films, or comedies that nobody laughed at. The company that I worked at, and also colleagues that I worked with, seemed to be giving me a challenge, 'why don't you make the better films then?'" said Lung Kong.
He felt that the films being made were too repetitive, and he made the effort to never visit the same topic twice.
Instead, he made films like Teddy Girls, a story of bloody-revenge from three girls (a prostitute, a drug trafficker and a pick-pocket) fresh out of reform school and Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow, an adaptation of Albert Camus' novel The Plague, which the Chinese Government censored.
Teddy Girls broke box office records when it first came out, but other films were met with far more controversy. Hiroshima 28 was one of them. It sympathetically portrayed a Japanese family in the aftermath of nuclear bombings, and it drew criticism.
"Hong Kong's youth was experiencing a new search for identity and search for a sense of individualism. It was a very turbulent time and the society was going through a lot of difficulties," said Tsui Hark, who remade Lung Kong's Story of a Discharged Prisoner with John Woo. "Lung Kong captured all that in his films. And we can witness in his films, a certain reality of Hong Kong during those 10 years."
"Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow: The Cinema of Patrick Lung Kong" will take place August 15-24 with talks from Lung Kong and Tsui Hark at the opening weekend screenings.
