Exhibits for the Family at Holocaust Museum Houston
- This time of year, we tend to get caught up in the back to school bustle. It is also the time of year that Holocaust Museum Houston prepares for the thousands of schoolchildren it hosts and educates throughout the year. This season, the museum will be home to two wonderful exhibits particularly geared toward students and families.
"Anne Frank: A Private Photo Album" is now on display through the end of the year. It is a particularly poignant look into the life of Anne Frank and her family through the eyes of a father—her father, Otto Frank.
The exhibit contains dozens of photographs taken by Otto Frank of his family before they were forced into hiding during World War II. Says museum Executive Director Susan Llanes-Myers, "They are snapshots of a happy family—much like yours or mine. However, knowing what we know today about their fate, these photos offer a deep complexity" Myers continues, "In Texas, students study Anne Frank's diary in middle school. This exhibit is a great way to visually support the lessons of hope and spirit taught through Anne Frank's writings."
The museum will also be featuring an exhibit of illustrations from children's books by well-known authors and illustrators. "For Children's Eye's: Illustrating Life's Lessons" will be on display beginning October 3rd and will continue into January.
This exhibition will feature works from children's books that teach about the dangers of hatred and prejudice and the importance of friendship and acceptance. In addition to the illustrations, the exhibit will feature readings from the books by local heroes such as police officers and fire fighters.
Says Colleen LaBorde, associate director of education, "With education being a primary objective of the museum, this exhibit provides a great opportunity for us to positively reinforce concepts of tolerance and understanding to children of all ages."
This season, especially, Holocaust Museum Houston has something for every member of the family to see and learn.
Holocaust Museum Houston is open seven days a week and is located in Houston's museum district at 5401 Caroline, Houston, TX 77004. For additional information on any of the museum's exhibits or programs, call (713) 942-8000 or visit

TAMPA — Vinny Testaverde has completed 57 of 111 passes for 660 yards and 3 touchdowns. More impressively, he has thrown only three interceptions in four games. He tossed a record 35 interceptions last year.
``I think (Testaverde) has made real good progess. He is doing things on a high level as far as thought process and his part of the play when he has an opportunity to do so,`` said Tampa Bay coach Ray Perkins.

I have loved rainbow's ever since I was a little girl, so since the possibilities were endless on this challenge, I wanted to use every color of the rainbow. The picture I used is one of my favorite pics of my children. I really enjoyed doing this LO.

A Poet's Poet
A conversation with Carl Dennis
Five decades later, Dennis's poems continue to attract noticebut these days he doesn't need to rely on the graciousness of a teacher bearing pushpins. His poetryeight volumes to datehas been given glowing reviews in prestigious literary magazines. His résumé is replete with fellowships from, among other sources, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation. For his contribution to the genre, the longtime UB professor was recognized two years ago with the Ruth Lilly Prize, a great honor attached to a check for $100,000.
In April of this year, Dennis received the call that most writers only dream about: He had been awarded one of literature's highest honors, the Pulitzer.
His first reaction to the news: "Is this a joke?"
"I knew that the Pulitzers were going to be announced soon, but I just assumed that all the finalists already had found out, long before, that they were finalists," Dennis recalls from his Buffalo home. "Since I had put it aside as a possibility for this year, when the Associated Press reporter called I thought she wanted to interview me about someone I knew who had won."
Since that day, "Pulitzer Prize winner" has become a standard prefix to Dennis's name. Naturally, the title affords him certain privilegeslike a respite from having to browbeat his publisher. After all, those eye-catching silver seals that now adorn his book jacketsthe ones announcing his inclusion in an elite circle of writerscan only be good news for the bottom line. Still, Dennis is careful to keep all this prestige in perspective.
"I must sayand this isn't modesty, this is factwinning is a matter of luck," he observes. "A different panel of judges would have picked three different finalists. I have to appreciate that. And if you look at the Pulitzer Prize winners over the years, there are a lot of names you know, and then there are a few names nobody's heard of in the past 40 years. So, of course, there's always the question: Are you going to be one of those who drops like a stone into the swamp?'"
Dennis received poetry's 2002 Pulitzer for Practical Gods, the most recent collection he has penned since joining UB's faculty in 1966. As the title indicates, deities dwell in the versespagan and biblical, minor and major, helpful and not.
In "The God Who Loves You," for example, the narrator imagines the title character's quiet anguish knowing that one of his charges missed out on a more fulfilling life.
The poem begins: "It must be troubling for the god who loves you/To ponder how much happier you'd be today/Had you been able to glimpse your many futures."
Saints and strangers also make their way onto the pages of Practical Gods. The ice cream vendor of "Gelati" materializes in the August heat to provide sweet relief to the parched narrator: "For a minute it seemed the Bureau of Joy was calling/About a windfall blowing my way to guarantee/An eight or nine on the joy chart even if many wishes/Down on my list wouldn't be granted."
In "Guardian Angel," divine intervention takes the form of a style-conscious seraph who takes a bachelor under her wing, warning him that his plaid jacket will turn off the woman he's destined to meet at the theater, "when everything depends on a first impression."
Poet Sherry Robbins, a friend and former student, notes that Practical Gods, like so much of Dennis's poetry, "invites the reader to pull up a chair and enjoy an intimate conversation on matters great and small.
"The landscape is often our own familiar city, our own familiar lives," she observes. "That's why we can be so surprised, in mid-conversation, to find ourselves in deep water."
Another of his longtime readers delights in Dennis's ability to elevate everyday speech with his superior imagination, precision and wit.
"Carl speaks the same language we do," says UB English professor Martin Pops. "The only difference is, he speaks it better."
Pops ought to knowhe has been critiquing Dennis's poems since the 1970s. Over the decades, the two friends have settled into a comfortable work routine, usually during one of their weekly dinners.
"Most people don't want criticism; they just want to be praised. But Carl seriously wants criticism, andat least in that area of his lifehe's got an astonishingly solid ego," Pops says. "He's not injured by criticism at all.
"If you're dealing with a mediocre talent, you have to be careful because you think it's the best a person can do. But with Carl, you don't have to worry because he can produce so many beautiful things."
Fifth-grade ditties notwithstanding, Dennis didn't start writing poetry in earnest until his mid-20s. As a child, his favorite literary genre was the fairy tale, which provided an escape from what he considered his humdrum existence as the youngest of three sons growing up in St. Louis during the 1940s and '50s.
Although his parents weren't literary typeshis mother had been a registered nurse; his father founded a chemical companyMrs. Dennis did take a keen interest in the arts. Among the house rules: All three boys would learn to play an instrument. In the case of the eldest, Robert, the weekly lessons more than paid off: He's now a successful composer of choral and dance music.
"She made you feel that life was a desperately important thing to do right, and it was very easy to mess up," says Dennis, echoing a theme that often surfaces in his poetry.
"She told us that the best way to understand about life is from the people who have thought longest and hardest about the problems you're going to facewriters: poets, novelists and playwrights. They had a very practical use for you if you were going to live your life right."
Upon graduating from high school in 1957, Dennis embarked on an undergraduate odyssey of sorts, seeking out a liberal arts haven where students sat around discussing great books"the ideal Platonic academy," as he puts it. He began his quest at Oberlin College in Ohio, which proved a dead end. A year later, he transferred to the University of Chicago. Finally, he settled in at the University of Minnesota, where he received his bachelor's degree in 1961.
"I kept looking for the Holy Grail," Dennis remembers. "I did take some excellent courses along the way, but finally you realize that you're going to have to compromise with the world, and so you lower your standards a littleor at least your expectations of meeting those standards."
Five years later, in 1966, Dennis received his Ph.D. in English literature from the University of California at Berkeley. That same year, he was hired as an assistant professor at UB.
"When I came to Buffalo, I discovered a lot of bright people here. I hadn't been around such a heady group. It was an encouraging place for a young writer, and it was inspiring."
In those early years in Buffalo, the English department was temporarily housed in a handful of trailers on the South Campus. It was there that Sherry Robbins first met Dennis, as an undergraduate enrolled in his course on modern poets.
"He had a very quiet, calm manner, but his class was a very intense learning experiencevery intense," she says. "I feel like I'll never forget what I learned in that class. I have never seen a class so motivated."
Dennis taught a variety of courses during that period, 19th-century American literature and criticism among them. He produced numerous scholarly articles, gradually discovering his true calling. "I remember thinking when I was about 28 that poetry gave me more pleasure than any other kind of writing. Based on the pleasure principle, I was hoping I could give it most of my attention.
"Things go by inches," he adds. "There was no grand moment; it's just where I found myself giving most of my writing time."
Dennis's first poetry collection was published when he was 35. Like his latest volume, the poems in A House of My Own are written in language as approachable and inviting as the poet himself.
"It's not as if I had been tempted by all other kinds of writing and resisted them," Dennis says of his plainspoken style. "This comes very naturally to me. I believe that poetry should sound like natural speech. When you hear a poem you should feel that someone is standing behind the lines, talking to an individual, offering a script that something might want to enter."
Dennis taught his last UB class in the fall of 2001 and now holds the title of Artist-in-Residence. At 62, after more than 36 years in the classroom, he can luxuriate in devoting himself more freely to his writing.
Despite the teaching schedule change (he still serves as advisor to the occasional independent study student), Dennis's writing schedule remains the same. Friends describe a devoted and disciplined artist, one who serves an early-bird muse and will brook no interruptions into his morning work regimencall him anytime before 11 a.m. and you're sure to be greeted by the answering machine. As for the distraction of the television, Dennis doesn't own one; never has. According to one story, a friend years ago offered Dennis her old 12-inch black-and-white set, thinking it might prove tempting for special events, like presidential debates or earth-shattering news. Dennis accepted the TV, only to haul it down to the basement and, ultimately, return it to its original owner.
"His priority is that he is true to his writing," says high school English teacher Mary Richert, a former independent study student of Dennis's who knows him as a mentor, a friend and her son's godfather.
"He doesn't take vacations from his poetry. He is always working on poems and thinking about his poems. After that, his priorities are his friends and his community."
Dennis's generosity extends to both. Whether it's a relatively small favorlike volunteering his time to speak to one of Richert's classesor considerably moremany years ago, he agreed to escort a professor's toddler on a cross-country plane triphe's unlikely to refuse.
Although he's modest enough to keep mum on the subject, Dennis's munificence takes many different forms when it comes to his adopted home of Buffalo: civic activism, local-business support, arts patronage, beautification advocacy. Asked to read at a fund-raiser for a Western New York literary organization earlier this year, the poet offered to donate his speaking fee to the groupand then pledged to pay the speaking fee of the other poet on the program, as well. Some years back a local bakery was struggling to get off the ground, and Dennis came forward with start-up cash. When a vacant lot in his neighborhood had succumbed to weeds, he helped convert it into an award-winning urban garden.
And then there is the Pulitzer. True, Joseph Pulitzer never intended these literary prizes as community gifts. But if the locals want to claim a share of the glory, Dennis figures it's their right. While he may rely on the perspectives of Zeus and Prometheus in his poetry, he always manages to ferret out inspiration right where he lives.
"Buffalo is a great city for this prize to be received in because its small size makes it a big occasion," Dennis says of winning the Pulitzer. "People feel happy for you, and proud for you. In New York City, it wouldn't mean anything; it's just ho-hum. But in a city like Buffalo, it means a lot more, beleaguered as we are by all kinds of problems."
Will the Pulitzer have any effect on his poetry? Make him feel more pressure to perform? More self-conscious?
"I hope not," he answers, to all three questions.
"For me, poetry will always be the activity that makes me feel I'm using most of my powers and making sense of my life at the same time. I'm exploring issues that I feel I want to get to the bottom of. And, of course, when you write poetry you're giving a kind of lasting shape to temporary states of mind."
Dennis's approach to his art has earned him a legion of appreciative readers. From newspaper critics to university colleagues, a portrait emerges of a writer with valuable things to say about the personal and the universal, about the things that matter most in life.
UB president William Greiner would agree with that description. In May, at the UB Law School commencement ceremony, Greiner told his audience that he had prepared the traditional inspirational speech to read to the assembled graduates, as is customary under such circumstances.
Then he discovered that one of Dennis's poems said everything he wanted to sayonly better.
So Greiner dispensed with the three-page address in favor of the eight-stanza poem "A Chance for the Soul."
With 1,750 people in attendance, this was hardly the cozy turnout one sees at the typical coffeehouse poetry reading.
With Dennis's increasing recognition, who knows what future events may be colored by his words of hope and redemption.

External Transportation Funding Opportunities
Best Practices
Long Range Transportation
John A Volpe National Transportation Systems Center releases a new paper titled NPS Transportation Innovative Finance Options
The John A Volpe National Transportation Systems Center released in May 2013 a new paper titled NPS Transportation Innovative Finance Options. The concise 13-page document provides a summary of innovative finance techniques and how they can be applicable within the National Park Service.
The report notes that the NPS has, under current statutory authority, applied most available methods of innovative financing, and that many of the finance techniques afforded to state and local governments are not applicable to federal agencies.
Financing techniques discussed in the paper include public-private partnerships, tolling/value pricing, value capture / tax increment financing, infrastructure bank, and grant management tools. The closing section of the document provides suggestions for how to incorporate innovative finance techniques into the context of the NPS transportation program. The paper contains examples of several parks and how they have made use of innovative financing techniques.

National Park Foundation (NPF) awards a quarter-million dollars to five national parks to provide Transportation Scholars
The National Park Foundation (NPF) recently awarded a quarter-million dollars to five national parks to provide Transportation Scholars who will spend time in the parks analyzing traffic flows and bottlenecks. (See the related Project Profile this month.)
Now in its 12th year, the Transportation Scholars program selects emerging transportation professionals to work side-by-side with park staff to research sustainable alternative solutions to address the growing and unique transportation issues in America's national parks, including traffic, pollution and congestion.
According to Foundation CEO and President Neil Mulholland in a release. "To date, this program has positively impacted more than 45 sites across the country."
An example of a Transportation Scholar project: A scholar funded by the program in 2009 spent a year helping officials to develop an Alternative Transportation Plan for the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area. The 72-mile corridor of this partnership park bisects the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, providing a primary north-south multi-modal greenway for local residents and visitors.
Previous scholars' work has resulted in nearly four million dollars in private and public funding to put the Transportation Scholars' plans into action. Past scholars have gone on to careers with the National Park Service, the Federal Highway Administration, the Department of Transportation and many private consulting agencies.
"The Transportation Scholars Program is a unique partnership that is helping us create comprehensive transportation plans for national parks," said Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis. "The research and solutions developed by these scholars not only aid us in improving the visitor experience, but also provide for improved protection of the natural and cultural resources in our parks."
The 2013 Transportation Scholars national park recipients include:
The Transportation Scholars program model has proven so successful that the Transit in Parks Technical Assistance Center (TRIPTAC) launched a complementary program last year, expanding the program to all public lands. This new extension, the TRIPTAC Public Lands Transportation Scholars Program, is based on the NPF program model and matches Transportation Scholars with one of three other federal land management agencies. The two programs will work together to train and mentor scholars with the shared goal of preserving our nation's valuable natural, cultural, and historic resources and enhancing the visitor experience by implementing sustainable, alternative transportation in national parks and public lands.
Park Service and the Adventure Cycling Association Reach Five-Year Agreement
A five-year agreement reached between the Park Service and the Adventure Cycling Association, based in Missoula, Montana, should help park supervisors plan for bike tours, consider better road designs and include other features that appeal to tourists on bikes, according to NPS spokesman Alan Turnbull.
"There've been a lot of studies showing the economic impact of bike tourism in national parks," said Turnbull, who works with the NPS's Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance Program. "If the Park Service was a business operator, which it's not, it would still look at bicyclists as: 'They come in, spend money and exert very little wear-and-tear on the park.' It's a win-win."
Adventure Cycling will share details of its extensive bike-route development activity and best-use practices with the NPS. The 46,000-member association organizes more than 70 bike tours each year, and provides maps and route information to bicycle adventurers. The agreement will promote user etiquette and safety while providing well-managed recreation and tourism opportunities. It also preserves the NPS's authority to determine where and when bicycling is appropriate on park lands.
"It's not a work plan – it doesn't add bike lanes," Turnbull said of the agreement. "It says 'here's an opportunity for the Park Service to benefit from the knowledge of a highly competent national organization.' And it says to the cycling world: 'We appreciate your willingness to work through the many issues the National Park Service has to balance.'"

2 parents working full time with long commute and toddler & baby(37 Posts)
I'm going back to work soon when my children will be age 1 and 2. I'm not allowed to go part time and have to work 37.5hrs per week. Dh is also full time. Dh is keen to move out of London for better quality of life, but that will add about 3hrs onto our day, with 1.5hr commute each way.
Commute still not great for me at the moment, I live in zone 2 and work in zone 1, and it will take me a good hour to get in to work.
I'm just wondering if there are examples of 2 parents working full time with a long commute. Dh thinks it will be fine, but he's basing that on himself, not understanding the weight of childcare I'm taking care of. With me away for 12 hrs a day 5 days a week the kids will become very needy.
I'm sure my health will suffer, and it will make sense for me to quit my job. But I'm trying to stay at the company to turn my job and career into something more workable.
Just wondered if anyone had any examples of both parents doing a long commute, or if we should stay put for the time being.
OP I think you are to be commended for going back to work to maintain your financial independence and build your career.
I don't think it's just length of commute that you need to be thinking about here though. This is more or less the checklist that DH and I went through at the time (but my DH is not an unsupportive fuckwad as yours is being right now) (and many of these points already raised above):
- flexibility of hours - possibility of flexitime after 6 months;
- mobility of experience and transferability to another employer or cross-industry?
- current and future pay and remuneration; career path with this employer?
- financial cost of commute
- current childcare arrangements
- proximity to good schools (do not underestimate this! It's only 2 years until you are signing up your 2 year old for primary school)
- future childcare options given cost, school, before and after school clubs
- (big one for me, not entirely shared with DH) strength of desire to get back to work and get out of the flipping house
Good luck!
I work 1.5hrs away from home and so does my DH (in the opposite direction) - both commutes involve walk - train - cycle/walk. We chose to live where we do because of it is in the middle of both our work places. Our DD is 3 and No.2 is on the way - I still haven't figured out how school + nursery will work out, investigating the option of a Nanny :-S
If you choose to live outside of London, you will find a lot of nurseries are based within a stones throw of mainline stations (literally less than 5 mins walk). Certainly the case for Oxford / Reading / Bracknell / Didcot. This has made life easier for us. I work full time as does my DH - and not jobs whereby you do 9-5, but are expected to do extra. But I work at home 2 days a week, DH 1 day a week and it makes our quality of life so much better - DD gets shorter days at nursery - we just fit in the extra hours on one or two burning the midnight oil sessions a week. To get my flexible working agreement I presented a plan showing the type of work I would do at home (writing, planning) - actually not being in endless meetings has been a blessing and I have become a much more efficient and effective worker. I am always available on the phone / email / skype. And 2 years on my work are really reaping the benefits and I just got promoted. It is possible. If your work have rejected your flexible working, and you think you could do your work efficiently at home or job share, then that would be verging on constructive dismissal I feel.
Whilst keeping her job may not make financial sense in the short term, it could well do in the long term, so the OP needs to compare not just her present, but her future earnings when deciding whether or not to leave work.
Personally, I'd be very wary of giving up work.
What do you do for a living OP? Can you do this part time somewhere else?
I just wanted to echo what a previous poster has said. I work 3 days per week, H works full time, but I have a long commute (1.5-2hrs each way) and the only way we have found it work is to shift our work patterns - I leave at stupid o'clock to be in the office for 7.30, leaving H to do the drop offs, and leave at 4pm to be able to collect by 5.30pm. H obviously stays late, usually getting home for about 8pm (he's only 20 mins away). I think you need to look at your circumstances as a couple, and your finances as a couple. I'd look into a nanny which would probably be cheaper and more flexible than £2700 per month. Also, you need to think about long term. I agree that your husband is being sensible in thinking about schools etc, but you also need to think about the school day. To be honest, the nursery years are easier than school days (8.50am to 3pm here) and how you manage that if you're commuting. Good luck, sounds as though you have some tough decisions to make!
OP I can relate to your post in terms of two kids, full time work, similar salary, not very helpful DH and willingness to move out of London.
DH and I work full-time and we have two DC, 5yo and 3 yo. Childcare logistics gets more difficult as they reach school – the eldest is goes to childminder+school+afterschool club and holiday club during holidays, the little one, thanks god, only goes to a nursery. We are in London zone 4 and we pay £800 for one lot of nursery. £2700 is a lot! We do not have any family members around so it is just us, and mainly me, because DH works longer hours. Our commute is 35 mins door to door as we are lucky to be on a fast train line, so normally there is no rush in the morning/evening though I can never stay overtime. Everything is working so well at the moment.. But there is a bad side to it – I have never wanted to live in London. The area is grim and gritty and though is it is a lifesaver to live here (short commute, affordable childcare etc.), I have always wanted to move out to a picturesque small town outside London.
After a long search, I have finally found that ideal place. It is 20 miles away from London, excellent area, good secondary schools, 25 mins commute by train. Seems excellent, right? I am dreading of the thought being far from London, away from my social networks, the need of rearranging all logistics, delayed trains, knowing no one, having no emergency contacts. DH and I both do not have flexibility in work so we both have to be in the office every single day. I even thought of compromising – instead of buying a house further from the station, just buy a flat very close to the station of the ideal town and so have minimal commute. I am dying to move – for myself and for the better children's future - but so afraid that we will set ourselves into a trap hole.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
We moved out of London when I was pregnant. My commute is 45 mins. DH's commute is one and a half hours to central London.
Even with my shorter commute I had to ask to leave 20 mins earlier each day (time made up by going in early) to catch a train home. We were very lucky in that we both were allowed to work at home one day so only needed 3 days of nursery. My experience of both parents with long commutes into London and children at nursery is that they often rearrange hours so one starts early but leaves early so can pick up the children, the other takes the children to nursery in the morning.
My husband would get back from work after 7, so could not have done a pick up from nursery. At a push I can get a (very slow) bus home. DH does not have that option and it is not that uncommon for there to be big problems at Victoria delaying all trains. You need to make some friends fast in a new area who you could call if you are both stuck in London!
If you both have a long commute then it should not just be your problem - you need to share drop offs and pickups otherwise I can't see how it would work if you are both full time.
OP your net salary of £2000 PCM falls far short of your childcare costs £2700 PCM before considering travel and other costs.
Why on earth does your partner want you to return to work when you would be so much worse off.
I think you need a completely new plan.
OP if you are
You can get a lot of advice about nannies on the Childminders/Nannies board.
Very roughly I would say a nanny working 12 hours per day, 5 days a week is likely to cost around £35,000 once you take in all the costs involved. From 2017 that will increase as employer contribution to pension would need to be added, think that will be 3% of nannies gross salary. There is a discussion on the Childminders/Nannies board about the pension situation, for anyone already employing a nanny the start date may be as early as Jan 2015.
By my reckoning you'd both be out of the house for 11 hours a day during the week, assuming commute goes smoothly. It often won't then you'll be out of the house for 12 hours.
I doubt either of you would see your young DC during the week for more than a bedtime story. That's not an improvement in quality of life in my book. Of course you could do it if you had to, but getting a house instead of a flat wouldn't be worth that sacrifice for me.
The husband is a different problem. Can you look at weekends away more often? Just don't go to the same place often enough to get an emotional attactment to it.
Sounds awful and not a very good quality of life, hope you sort something soon
My wife & I both work full-time and have children who are now 3 & 5. We have certainly found the last few years a strain - on our relationship in particular.
The problem we found is that, once you're home from work you devote all your attention to the kids, once they're down you have to make dinner, etc. and by the time you can both sit and spend some time together it's already 8:30-9pm... and you're both knackered... and there's still countless house chores left to do, so the sum of your week-day time together is tired debates about who should have taken the bins out (probably me); who should clear up the work shoes they've left scattered everywhere (probably my wife); etc, etc. Over time this completely eroded us as a couple (it's since taken lots of effort & energy to get our relationship back). Adding time to your commute would probably increase the liklihood of you hitting a similar pattern.
I live in the Home Counties and know a couple of mums who work full time with long commutes into London, husbands work full time too.
They both employ fulltime nannies as the stress of getting back for nursery pickups is removed - and children can form a strong bond with a single caregiver. I personally think fulltime nursery 8-6 five days a week is too much for little kids and would avoid doing that if at all possible.
Princessx, I'm going to PM you.
I have only ever done a long commute before dc.
The problem you may find is the overground. The line I was on frequently had problems and delays. At least when you are in London you can walk, bus, tube find an alternative route. When you need a 40 min train journey to get you into London/home there is no alternative, you sit and wait.
It can be snow, leaves, heat, people jumping, animals on the line, signal failure I promise you the list is endless. Plus you pay thousands of pounds a year for the privilege then can't get a seat.
It's not much fun.
Sounds like a nightmare. I work 37.5 with an hour's commute so am out 8-6.30pm, DP works 9-5 from home, and that is bad enough - I feel like I barely see DS! Both of us working full time with a longer commute would be terrible for our quality of life.
We live in zone 3 with plenty of parks and a decent commute. We thought long and hard whether to move out of London altogether but then realised that logistically it would just not be feasible with both of us working long hours. Just go through it practically! Have a look at train times, walking times, nursery pick up times, contingency plans... It's not going to work unless you have a nanny!
If you want to live in the country one of you has to stay at home or work very short hours/locally.
Okay I wouldn't buy anything with him at present.
What is your job? Why aren't you looking at a Child minder? I wouldn't be sure that a Nanny wouldn't be cheaper. (£2700 seems more than a nursery would be here.). Can either of you get child care vouchers? At least you would save the tax.
What kind of schools does he want (state or private). How old is your oldest? Just living in the country doesn't necessarily mean better schools.
BTW although he is paid more than you, he isn't "highly" paid for London if you get tax credits.
There are few more important things than being able to sustain yourself and your children if your relationship is looking a bit flaky and the government is clamping down harder on benefits with each passing day Soon.
However, it depends on the job - in some it's vitally important to stay in touch and hang onto the one you've got, whilst in others the career progression is more limited and it's quite realistic to take a couple of years off and then start again.
I wouldn't move OP - in fact I didn't, and can still walk into central London (at a pinch, but it would take an hour) if the tubes are on strike. I think your DH's plan will be fatal to your career unless you can find a new job nearer home. The killer for me was that I wouldn't want to be two hours away from the DC (including waiting for the next train) if there was a crisis at nursery.
You need to research childcare in detail, and do the sums for exactly how you'd do it and how much it would cost - including cover for sick days in order to discuss it with DH.
Well I'm sticking to my job as relationship is v rocky with dh and I don't want to give it up to suit his needs then be totally dependent on him.
If you salary is £700 less than child care costs, a d presumably you have to pay for travel costs, lunches, work clothes etc it really doesn't make financial sense to work at the moment.
Can't you talk this through openly with your husband?
Thanks moderatelyobvious I did do a formal flexible working request where the outcome was my job is a 37.5 hrs a week job and that's that. Dh didn't do one, it didn't cross our minds to be honest. I suppose because I'm still on mat leave I didn't think about him having time off.
He earns a lot more than me so will probably argue it doesn't make financial sense, but I think we need to start having those conversations.
Once I've been back at work for 6 months I can apply again for flexible- working. So the 6 month time period makes sense for a few reasons.
I'm really glad I posted here, it's helped me clarify a lot of things. I think we need to really discuss how his work can be flexible if I'm to work full time and pursue my career.
He is stressed about getting into a good area for schools but we probably need to make our situation workable first.
If you are paying that much in childcare and hardly seeing dc why on earth are you working in that job? There are more important things in life than a career.
Wouldn't it work better financially for you to be a stay at home mum as childcare is more then your salary? Only if that is what you wanted of course.

City Escape: The Berkshires And Cranwell Resort & Spa
The Berkshires has long been a popular destination for Manhattanites. Located in Western Massachusetts and just over 2 hours away by car, the Berkshires is comprised of a series of quaint New England towns and lovely countryside. Scenic beauty abounds with rolling hills, meandering rivers and picturesque natural landscapes, all of which have long drawn and inspired artists, writers and nature enthusiasts.
Culture abounds in the area. Ongoing festivals and events, top notch theatre companies, and revered museums and historic sites draw tourists from all areas. Award winning restaurants and culinary experiences can easily be found, and lodging options span from cozy B&Bs to grand historic hotels.
Cranwell Resort & Spa is by far one of the largest resorts in the Berkshires, offering guests an array of amenities while still maintaining a historic country feel. Perched on a hillside in Lenox, the resort's Tudor Style Mansion greets and impresses arriving guests, and brings to mind an era of luxury and class.
Accommodations range from guest rooms and suites to townhouses and cottages, and despite being on 360acres, the resort has a relatively quaint feel. The expansive property does however make it the perfect playground for visitors of all ages. Boasting an 18 hole golf course and one of the biggest spas in the northeast, Cranwell brings a little extra to the Berkshire hotel scene. An all-season destination, it also has an impressive indoor pool, a fitness facility (complete with group class offerings), outdoor tennis courts, and offerings like snowshoeing and cross country skiing in winter.
Summer also brings entertainment to the Cranwell, with the Capitol Steps performing nightly (except Tuesday), and several dining options on the resort. The Cranwell's Wynhurst Restaurant offers contemporary cuisine in an elegant setting (it's housed in their Guilded Age Mansion), while Sloane's Tavern offers more casual pub fare.
Throughout the year, Cranwell offers specials and packages, including an unlimited golf package and spa getaways. For more information on Cranwell Resort, visit www.Cranwell.com

City Escape: Sticks & Stones Farm
August 2, 2014 by Vanessa Alfano
Filed under ESCAPES, Featured, Latest
Just over an hour from NYC lies a rustic little destination that feels worlds away. Sticks and Stones farm is a working farm and retreat center that offers unique accommodations, home grown organic foods and a variety of health benefiting programs and events.
We recently visited Sticks & Stones after discovering their houseboat rental on airbnb. We soon found that their offerings went far beyond the little riverboat, and came to discover a rustic playground where nature and sustainability reign. Located in the hills of Fairfield County, Connecticut, the 60 acre farm is a rare rural pocket centered on being self-sufficient and eco-friendly.
While visiting, we stayed in Pagoda, one of the farm's screened-in cabins that is nestled in the woods on their expansive property. With no walls, electricity or running water, the hope is that guests will disconnect with the outside and reconnect with nature and the simpler things in life. It truly was an experience like no other!
Several other simple wood constructed cabins are offered, including Summit which (as its name denotes) is perched on the top of the mountain and overlooks the rolling CT hills. More traditional (walled) cabins are also available for rent as well as camping spaces to pitch your own tent. Guests have access to a shared "rustic kitchen," outhouses, and outdoor showers.
A weekend can easily be spent at Sticks and Stones without ever leaving the property. Miles and miles of trails can be explored (or, in our case, lost in at night). Guests can hike through woodlands, wander by "moss mountain", walk along marshy shores to the farm's own organic vegetable garden, or take some time to meander through a meditation labyrinth. You might even see a stone sculpture or two peering out from the woods along the way. In fact, little surprises can be found throughout the property– like the whimsical little "fairy house" perched atop the mountain that offers a quiet respite, and the perfect place to contemplate or just enjoy the view.
Wander down to the main farm if you're seeking community and some of the comforts of home. The beautiful stone farm house houses a lovely yoga studio, meeting space, ping pong table and large indoor kitchen for cooking. Just outside, resident dwarf goats will greet you, and you may even see free-range chickens milling about (who, incidentally, supply some pretty great organic eggs for in-house meals!) Make sure to take advantage of the organic farm-to-table meals that are also offered at the farm (delicious!).
Above all else, the people who run Sticks and Stones are truly what make it a special place. We shared meals with Ethan and Desre who run the farm, and got to hear about their endeavors and experience their warm and generous spirits first hand. It was also a pleasure getting to know Tim, the farm's owner (and Ethan's dad), who gave us a glimpse into his eclectic life and shared some of his adventures (including how he acquired another retreat center in Hawaii). If you're lucky, he might even break out his ukulele and play a song or two after dinner.
All in all, if you're looking for a place that is the complete opposite of NYC, this is it. It's just a couple hours drive, and you can even get their by train as the farm offers pick you up from Metro North. For more information on all that Stick's and Stones offers, visit their website.
City Escape: Waterfalls & Wonder (just an hour from NYC)
July 17, 2014 by Vanessa Alfano
Filed under ESCAPES, Featured, Latest
So, my latest city escape is inspired by a little day of discovery that happened recently. We were at the house in Garrison where we spend most summer weekends, and when pondering what to do that day, I began to vaguely recalled a swimming hole I had been to a decade or so ago. My memory leaves much to be desired, so with google as my aid I searched to find a little direction to this natural pool that I remembered being tucked away in the woods somewhere. There was nothing online but this youtube video, and a few vague comments on it's location. With that in hand and an adventurous spirit, we set out to find it. And this is what we found.
Garrison, NY is a beautiful area just over an hour north of NYC. It's filled with natural beauty and perfect for hikers and those seeking to get away from it all. The appalachian trail runs through, and hikes like the popular Breakneck Ridge and less known Chimney Walk challenge and reward with picturesque vistas and amazing views. Natural hidden treasures abound in the area, and the town of Cold Spring (just to the north) offers a pretty little main street with a variety of restaurants, antique shops, and a pretty little promenade on the hudson (where incidentally they do free concerts and outdoor films on summer weekends).
Garrison has a few accommodation options including Bird & Bottle and The Garrison but there is no central town per say. Airbnb is a great option for those looking to live like a local for the weekend. Cold Spring also offers some sweet little inns including the Pig Hill Inn, and is within walking distance to Metro North– making a day trip or weekend for city dwellers easy. However, I suggest renting or borrowing a car to fully explore all the area has to offer including Boscobel, Constitutionl Marsh, Fahnestock State Park, Lakefront Yoga and, of course, all those hidden gems you might just discover.

City Escape: A Desert Oasis With Plenty Of Sunshine
April 11, 2014 by Vanessa Alfano
Filed under ESCAPES, Featured, Latest
Spring has certainly taken it's time to show up in NYC, but at our latest city escape we found glorious sunshine in full force. The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, located in beautiful Arizona, is a perfect destination for those seeking fun, relaxation and outrageous spring temperatures. Located on 62 acres of Sonoran Desert, this expansive resort truly has something for everyone.
The property is gorgeous featuring manicured rose gardens and fountained lagoons, interspersed with natural desert fauna and the majestic McDowell Mountains as a backdrop. Accommodations range from deluxe rooms to private casitas, all boasting a great combination of luxury and comfort. Throughout the resort, the Spanish style architecture brings old world charm, and modern touches give the property a luxurious contemporary edge.
Five sparkling swimming pools await guests ready to cool off or soak in the sun. The South pool offers a trendy vibe with luxurious cabanas and a happening poolside bar, while the expansive East pool is beyond family friendly. The Sonoran Splash pool is a huge hit for kids of all ages, featuring two twisting water slides, as well as a serene zero gravity entry pool for the little or less adventurous ones. No matter where you head, reclined chaise lounges and towering palms await.
Well & Being, the resort's amazing spa and wellness center, is by far the best feature of this luxury resort. Indulge in signature services like the Hacienda Retreat, a 90 minute escape featuring a unique corn & lime exfoliating scrub followed by a richly hydrating mask of shea butter, lime and soothing lemon. The gentle massage application and "cocooning" that follows will have you falling into a deep relaxing state you won't want to end. Inevitably it will though, but don't despair, the spa also offers an amazing array of amenities including an impressive whirlpool, inhalation rooms, an outdoor waterfall "grotto" and a glistening rooftop pool.
Another fabulous part of Well & Being is the unique fitness classes that are offered (which incidentally are also included at no additional cost when purchasing any spa service). Forget regular old yoga or cardio classes, Well & Being takes things to a whole other level with Aerial Yoga, TRX Suspension training and super fun SurfSET Fitness.
Of course good food is essential at any vacation spot, and Fairmont Scottsdale doesn't disappoint. In fact we were also impressed with the healthy options available. A smoothie and juice bar sit within Well & Being, and their delectable spa menu– offering black bean burgers, quinoa crab cakes, and more– is available throughout the resort. The Fairmont also features an array of acclaimed restaurants. La Hacienda, their latest opening combines incredible ambiance with modern mexican flare. And The Grill, which sits overlooking the impressive Stadium golf course is a step above most "clubhouse" restaurants, with delicious salads and inventive mains.
All in all, the Fairmont is a desert oasis offering beautiful surroundings and amazing amenities. The first class spa and wellness offerings make having a HealthyStyle vacation easy. Relaxation is easy there, and of course, they also have one thing we all have been missing– plenty of sunshine!

City Escape: A "HealthyStyle" Vacation at PGA National In Palm Gardens
With snow and ice being the leading story here in NYC, what better time to escape to warmth and relaxation. The Sunshine State is a top pick this time of year, with perfect temperatures and plenty of direct flights. Palm Beach Gardens has a wealth to offer– from top tier golf courses to golden beaches, not to mention some unexpected treasures along the way.
Our latest trip took us to PGA National, a luxury resort and spa in the heart of Palm Beach Gardens. Famous for it's championship golf courses, this hotel delivers for those looking to tee it up and play where the pros do. However, we found out that this hotel holds much more than just great golf. A gorgeous pool and spa complex, a variety of dining options and a wealth of activities await– all within an expansive resort that (pleasantly) has more of a country club feel.
One unique feature of PGA National is the enormous Health & Racquet Center that makes having a "HealthyStyle" vacation easy. Guests have unlimited access to the fitness center which includes state of the art equipment and a full schedule of group fitness classes. We took a challenging vinyasa class and on the way passed by a active spin studio. The center also offers up 19 Har Tru tennis courts, racquetball courts and an outdoor lap pool. Fitness is easy here, and unlimited access is included in the price of your stay.
Of course vacation is often about relaxation and The Spa At PGA National definitely delivers that. Newly renovated, this full service spa and salon offers over 100 treatment including unique water therapies and exclusive signature services. My treatment of choice was the Plush Papaya, an invigorating pineapple scrub that is topped off with deliciously decadent swedish massage. No matter what you choose, make sure to leave time to enjoy the spa's Waters of the World mineral pools, each containing healing salts that have been imported from around the world. Relax in the Slies De Biern or let tension and stress float away in the Dead Sea.
If you're looking for a different kind of water therapy, the resort's main pool complex is another sparkling option. The enormous zero-entry main pool perfect for all, and plush lounge chairs and towering palms allow vacation to be what it should be. The poolside Wave restaurant offers creative dishes (try the island explosion salad) and live music on weekends.
Endless great options await within PGA National Resort, and even more just outside it's borders. Some of Florida's best beaches are within a few short miles. Our favorite by far was Blowing Rock Nature Preserve– a peaceful barrier island sanctuary in neighboring Jupiter Beach. Walk windy trails through the mangroves and along the dunes and sit on magnificent unspoiled beaches. Keep your eyes open and you're likely to see all sorts of species- from gulls and blue crabs to loggerhead turtles. Surf, sand and sunshine…I'll take them any day over snow.
Silent Retreats: One New Yorkers Quiet Reflection
November 17, 2013 by Ilana Arazie
Filed under ESCAPES, Featured, Latest
While I used to live for the busy streets of New York, after-work industry parties and large street fairs or events, these days I crave silence. I never thought it could happen, and hope my need for slowing down has nothing to do with fact that I'm approaching the big 4-0…um, in a few years. It does help that I moved out to the river town of Hastings on Hudson. And while I can see the beautiful NewYork skyline from the edge of our town, I welcome the distance.
All this quiet got me interested in signing up for a three silent retreat at the Ananda ashram, an pretty yoga retreat and spiritual center founded by Shri Brahmananda Sarasvati, only 40 minutes from where I live. Most people think they would go mad not talking for days long. Speaking is everything to many people, and if you notice most people have a lot to say about very little. But no judgement there! I'm guilty.
So I drove up to the ashram and silent retreat lead by this guru lady Joan Suval. Joan looked like a nun to me, wearing an all white robe and with white hair pinned back. But instead, she turned out to be an old Jewish woman who studied with the guru Sarasvati since the age of 30. She was wise, spiritual, open minded and funny at the same time. Not your average Jewish grandmother! I was drawn to her instantly and called the "Mother of the Ashram" I could tell everyone felt the same way.
Although we weren't allowed to talk, we took yoga classes, meditated, watched a movie, walked through the woods and around a lake, saw a traditional Indian concert at night, chanted and had big vegetarian buffets for meals. (which was one of my fav parts. I wondered how staying silent could make someone so ravenous!)
Joan also gave us talks about life and philosophical teachings from the guru that eased our worries and lifted our spirit. Here were some of the points I remembered jotted down in my note book:
- Our ego is like a drunken monkey with a loaded gun — don't give into it.
- The more people disturb us, the more you advance. — meaning every person or situation that upsets us is only there to be our teacher and bring new knowledge. Welcome the challenges, they are our biggest teacher. You can be happy with every problem if you know it will advance you in self realization.
- It's only through the quiet and calm that we make the most progress. When our mind is busy, we have no clarity and no wisdom. Quiet is the gateway to clarity and progress…
I was feeling pretty calm during the weekend…and happy. From a distance, my life seemed perfect and exactly in line.
Though when I first got home, I told myself a different story. All of a sudden, I started to feel stress creeping into my senses, and things and people were weighing to me. Joan's teachings weren't helping me in my new moments and the transition from silence to life felt a little drastic. How could I feel so great and then feel so bad? (And it wasn't even that time of the month!)
But after a couple of days and some patience, I got it together and found my silent center again. Life is funny that way. Things always work out on their own, with time and without much effort. These days I know the ashram is always only 40 minutes if I need to get quiet and create that peaceful state again — a vacation from the mind. Then again, I can always put that "In Silence" button on and wear at around my home and work. I'm sure no one would mind. They might even welcome it!
This Weekend: Experience Fall Five Different Ways
October 5, 2013 by Ashley Connell
Filed under ESCAPES, Featured, Fitness, Latest
Five Fun Fall Activities This October Has In Store:
Apples & Pumpkins
What better way to spend a Saturday or Sunday with the fam, your man or even a good group of girlfriends (apple pie baking fest, anyone?) than to hop in the car and head outside the city for a few hours and stock up on all of fall's most natural and favorite treats? For you Long Islanders, be sure to check out Fink's Farm for a bevy of fall related activities, like going through the 7 acre maze or having a bite of some delicious roasted corn. Or there's Wilklow Orchards in Highland NY, complete with its own little roadside stand filled with all the fresh fall baked goods your heart desires. For those headed to New Jersey, there's also Riamede Farms which offers 34 varieties of apples from the classics to even a few specialties. All in all, New York and beyond is in no way short on delivering in the pumpkin and apple department this fall!
Movie Time
With the weather changing, although it's fun to get outside for a few hours and enjoy the crisp temperatures, sometimes it's just as fun to head inside and curl up with a good movie. The 49th New York Film Festival is the perfect excuse to get inside on one of these upcoming rainy days (they're inevitable, let's face it), have some popcorn and enjoy a cinematic masterpiece. With classics playing like Ben Hur to some of the most buzzed about films of the season like The Descendants (George Clooney? Sign me up!) and My Week with Marilyn, it's sure to be every movie lovers dream come true!
One of my favorite fall activities is hitting the stores looking for the perfect sweater. Sure, summer has its perks with all the fun skirts and tank tops to choose from, but a true New Yorker should know the art of stocking your closet filled with a unique sweater for every occasion. With fashion heavy weight DVF going modern with an exaggerated (and ultra forgiving) turtleneck that's perfect for a fun night out, to truly affordable everyday fashion with The Gap's striped cable-knit, there is certainly a lot to look at and try on before you make up your mind on which sweater suits you best!
Scare Me Please
Come October, not only are the stores chock full of candy and treats galore, but there's also an endless amount of Halloween related activities around the city to choose from.
Something fun for the whole family is the Halloween Pumpkin Parade and Sail in Central Park. Be sure to wear your costume and bring your most prized carved Jack O'Lantern to take part in NYC's largest pumpkin flotilla at twilight.
New York Botanical Garden plays host to the Haunted Pumpkin Garden October 1st – 30th. Although this is another great activity to check out with the kids, it's not lacking in the scare department. With spooky scarecrows, spiders and snakes at every turn and an after dark nighttime adventure in the garden, remember to bring your flashlight and best creepy costume to really get in the Halloween spirit!
Parade Me Around
Fall is definitely the season of parades, and quite frankly, we'll take 'em! With the annual Columbus Day parade bringing 35,000 marchers, bands and floats all making their way down Fifth Avenue, this is one spectacle not to be missed!
For some parade fun you can take part in yourself, NYC's Village Halloween Parade is definitely one to check out. All those in costume are invited to join hundreds of puppets, 53 bands, dancers and artists on the trek down Sixth Avenue on the night of the 31st.
All in all ladies, let's make this the season of the 3 F's: Fall Festive Fun!

The most efficient method is to use machine precision, anything else
will have to use multiple CPU instructions to emulate arithmetic of
the required precision. There is no benefit to specifying a
precision of less than the machine precision unless you are computing
the values of functions such as sin and log.

If your inputs are all expressed with machine precision numbers they
will be used throughout. If your inputs are matrices or vectors just
make sure there's a . after every integer eg. 1., 2. etc.

Christy Turlington's Beauty Tips and Interview
We're happy to present this article from one of our favorite sites, Real Beauty.
Christy Turlington is a mother, wife, supermodel, student, and humanitarian (whew!). She's also the face of Avon's new scent, Step into Sexy.
Inspired by her famously stilettoed life, we spoke to the all-American beauty about, what else? How to look and feel sexier. This is what she said.
Real Beauty: With so much going on, how do you take time to feel sexy?
Christy Turlington: I'm lucky because most of the stuff that I do makes me feel good, too. I'm a yoga practitioner. I run. I spend time with my kids. These things all give me energy. Every now and again, though, I do pamper myself. I'll get a massage or go to the spa. It's a nice treat, but it's hard to find the time when you're doing so many other things.

RB: What about looking sexy?
CT: Ha. Well, I don't often feel all that sexy. I was excited to have an excuse to dress up tonight. When you've had the same partner for a long time, and you have kids, it's important to remember that a little bit of effort goes a long way. I feel better when I throw on a pair of heels or a little bit of lipstick. But, like most women, I just need to remind myself to do it.
RB: And how have your travels for both modeling and philanthropic work affected your idea of beauty?
CT: Beauty is so much more than what's physical. Strength is beautiful to me. When I see a woman that's empowered, she has a radiance and self-possession that every woman should be lucky enough to have. What's heartbreaking is when you see people who don't have access to human rights, but even in the most dire situations, there are moments of hope.
RB: What's the sexiest thing you've ever seen a friend do?
CT: My sister just moved here from California. She has four kids and has never had the cosmopolitan experience before. But she takes time and goes out and utilizes the city. And she enjoys it! I'm like 'How do you have the energy?' But it just energizes her. She's always been all about her children, and now that they're starting to get settled, she's taking time to feel good for herself. That's an achievement!
RB: What about you? Do you have cities you've thought were particularly sexy?
CT: Marrakech. It's so dark, and there are so many scentsyou smell amber, fire, spicesand outside the markets are just corridors with doors. You can't tell if a little family lives behind the door, or if it's the entrance to a palace. There are also places like that in Mexico and Central America, where everything is on the interior, and you don't know what's around the next corner. I was in Venice recently for my anniversary, and it was the same thing. It's not well lit and walking the little roads is like being in a maze. But you ultimately spill out into a sunny courtyard. There's something sexy about getting lost.

RB: And on the topic of hitting the pavement, rumor has it that you're training for the New York City Marathon. Do you have tips for fellow runners?
CT: (Laughs) It's just my first marathon, so I'm not in a place to give advice. But, I've found training to be so enjoyable because I've been able to get outside and see my city. I've lived here since I was 16, and there are parts of it that I'm just starting to explore now. I did a 21-mile run on Sunday, and I was up near where I go to school [Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University]. I've only ever driven there, so running the areas around it was a much different experience.
RB: Do you have a treat planned for when you complete the race?
CT: Acupuncture! I try to do it when I can. Plus, the great thing about running is that you can eat whatever you want. I do this normally, but you're burning so many calories through training that you really have to fuel up with food. So, I'm sure my first treat will be a big meal!

Meteor damages KHL team's arena
By THE SPORTS XCHANGE
The meteor that hit Russia on Friday damaged an arena used by a Kontinental Hockey League team.
All events at Traktor Chelyabinsk's home rink were postponed until a structural assessment is made. The team is currently on the road, but a Kontinental Hockey League playoff game is scheduled to be played there on Thursday.
"The emergency services have confirmed that the walls of the Arena Traktor were among those structures to suffer damage," the KHL said in a statement.
An announcement is expected Monday on whether the arena will reopen for the Gagarin Cup playoffs.
More than 1,100 people were injured with the meteor exploded over the Ural Mountains with atomic-bomb force.
