MANCHESTER, N.H. — Jeff Jackson won two national championships as the head coach of Lake Superior State in 1992 and 1994, but this might be his best coaching job yet. His Notre Dame Fighting Irish, a team whose regular lineup comprises an incredible nine freshmen, are going to the Frozen Four for the second time in program history after beating New Hampshire 2-1 in Sunday night's Northeast regional final.
What's even more impressive is that the Irish were able to accomplish that after playing some of their worst hockey of the season the last three weekends. Given the fact that Notre Dame entered the NCAA tournament on a 2-4-0 skid, it would've been easy to leave the Fighting Irish for dead and expect an early exit.
So what changed for the Irish to turn things around? Jackson played some head games with his team. Literally.
Jackson said that after watching his team lose to Miami in the CCHA semifinals last Friday and then again to Michigan in the consolation game Saturday, he thought his team looked nervous. That certainly isn't overly surprising given the team's youth, but Jackson knew that couldn't happen again this weekend.
So he decided to talk to Mick Franco, a sports psychologist at Notre Dame.
"I had a good chat with our university's sports psychologist and I have to credit him with talking to me about some certain things that maybe we as a team have gone through, because we are young," Jackson said. "I'm going to credit him for some thoughts on how best to prepare our team to get over that. I used some of the techniques that he discussed and just tried to get them refocused to play in a very tough environment with very tough opponents."
The move paid off big-time, as the Irish refused to get rattled all weekend. Saturday night, they twice trailed Merrimack by two goals, but they came back to force overtime. Then they got badly outplayed to start overtime, but Jackson called a timeout to settle his players down and they responded with the game-winning goal the next shift.
Sunday night was more of the same. UNH nearly doubled up Notre Dame in shots in the first period, but the Irish entered the intermission with a 1-0 lead. Then the Wildcats turned up the heat at the end of the second and threatened to tie the game, only to see Notre Dame weather the storm and score a back-breaking goal with five seconds left in the period.
With the Wildcats down by two and playing desperate in third, the Irish didn't sit back or get caught on their heels. Instead, they just kept playing their game and actually outshot UNH 16-9 in the frame.
"We recognize there's a lot of little plays on the ice," said junior Billy Maday, who had two goals and an assist on the weekend. "We can't get over-excited or down, no matter what happens. Just stay even-keel."
Not only did Notre Dame's young players not look nervous or rattled, but they turned out to be the catalysts, just as they've been most of the season.
The best player for Notre Dame all weekend was goalie Mike Johnson, a sophomore. He stopped 32 shots Saturday night, including six during the first five minutes of overtime, and followed that up with a spectacular 37-save performance Sunday night.
Johnson was inconsistent at times during the regular season, but he clearly brought his A-game to Manchester.
"I try to convince the kid that he can be one of the best goaltenders in college hockey," Jackson said. "He's only a sophomore, people have to recognize that. I have to recognize that once in a while.
"Michael's biggest challenge is that he wants to do well so bad that he ends up thinking it too much. I keep reminding him in all the goalie drills that we do that it's more about just getting into the game and stopping the puck. You don't think during the game. You just play. Tonight he just played."
The youngsters led the way at the other end of the ice, too. Rookie winger Anders Lee scored two of the Irish's four goals Saturday night, including the game-winner, and freshman defenseman Stephen Johns scored the first goal Sunday night.
"Obviously we're thrilled to death," Jackson said. "For this group to accomplish what they have this year with so many young kids is incredible. A lot of that credit goes to the leaders of the team that helped create a great bond amongst them."

I'll keep this short: I had been wanting to get a really good bike for a while now, one that will last me quite some time and will be able to use as my main source of transportation eventually. I want to be able to attach a trailer behind the bike and use that to carry fruit and everything. I can't tell you exactly how many miles/km I would be traveling on a daily basis, but I'd like get a bike that I could ride quite a distance with in a single day. Say, 50 miles for example. I am totally ignorant on the topic and just getting in to cycling, so pardon me if that number doesn't sound right. I won't be doing any racing or anything special like that right away, and if I do eventually I would invest in a racing bike. I had been getting some suggestions from some people saying that you really need to drop over $1,000 U.S. to get a really good bike. Do any of you guys think this is true?
I talked to a guy yesterday in a sports store about bikes, and he told me that for what I want to use it for, it really isn't worth spending a huge amount of money like I had planned unless you are going to use the bike for one specific reason, like racing, triathlons, mountain biking, etc. The bike he suggested (and I really liked quite frankly) was the Trek 7200 Hybrid. The thing I was surprised by is that I can get it brand new for less than $475 U.S. The guy said it would work well for riding on smooth surfaces (in town, on paths) as well as work for slightly rougher terrain, like hitting a bit of gravel.
What are your guy's thoughts? Any other recommendations? As I said, I am just getting into cycling, so enlighten me! Although I can't kick the fossil fuel habit completely in my current situation (I have to drive quite a way to get my fruit), sometime not too far down the road I will be able to. For now, I'd just like to ride a bike as often as possible.
Thanks guys!
I actually did settle on a bike, thank all of you for all of your suggestions! I didn't go for the Trek as the suspension system definitely was unnecessary for what I am using it for. I'm doing mostly rode riding but also wanted the flexibility to haul things with it.
I went for a Giant Escape City and paid about $600 for a brand new one. It's been a really, really excellent bike so far. I've ridden just under a thousand miles on it so far and have yet to have any issues other than some minor maintenance/adjustments. Even learned how to take it all apart and, even more of a learning experience, put it all back together as I flew it to the Woodstock Fruit Festival in NY. I plan on taking it to Thailand this January with me as well. :)
When I have the money my next bike investment is probably going to be a bamboo rode bike. But for now this Giant just what I was looking for! :)

what about getting a high quality used bike?
we have a marinoni valued at $3000 in it's time which we got for $600.
in friendship,
If your looking to just cart things around with I would agree you don't need a good bike. I would actually just look for more of a mountain bike type without knobby tires.
If your planning on doing group rides with others - I would then invest in a bike that is a little bit more toward the higher end. A lighter bike goes a long way in the enjoyment category if your riding with others.
Maybe a clunker for grocery shopping - get a used $100 bike and a higher end bike $900 for fitness riding. I would also buy that bike used - you can get much better quality in a used bike compared to paying the higher margins for a new bike (I agree with pradtf).
Hope this helps - good luck!
Thanks a lot pradtf and AD!
Anyone else have any suggestions? Specific models?
No, you need to drop at least $2K, haha, joking
With bikes you get what you pay for, but $1000 should be plenty for a quality commuter bike, to get the best bang for the buck, go to ebay or bikesdirect.com, I would think $500 would get you something quality at either place.
In a recent vid, Harley issued a sound caution about used bikes. It is possible they have been in a crash that left it structurally unsound and only a big bump away from disaster. Only a trained eye could detect such damage, he said.
Thus, if you do choose to go used, perhaps seek out those that are "certified" and cleared as safe by experts in a bike shop.
Or if you find one you like at a garage sale, etc. perhaps the owner would like you check it out professionally, just as is recommended with used cars.
From all my bikes this one is best for general riding/commuting/traveling:
Check their gallery, this bike has many uses. It's fun to ride (you'll be smiling, I promise) and performance is quite good (I modified it and used for few bike races, but later was banned for non-compliant geometry). I use it mostly for travels and training these days.
It's hard to find these used, but if you email to these folks and say you want a used one (for less $ but still with warranty), they can let you know once they have something (that's how I got mine).
I really want a awesome bike too. I'll save up for one..
You can pick up a bargain if you buy second hand but it carries a few risks as well, especially for a someone who isn't an experienced cyclist and has minimal mechanical skills. You have to look out for crash damage, stress fractures, parts that need replacing or are well-worn etc. In most cases used bikes will need some workshop time, which could mean significant added expense. Often this work isn't difficult to do yourself but may require specialist tools.
Honestly I've seen so many first-time buyers get shafted buying a used bike that I wouldn't recommend doing it without help from someone more experienced. Sellers might not be aware of potential problems themselves. You pay a premium if buying from a store but there are fewer risks involved. You can also get advice on sizing in a store.
Without knowing what sort of terrain you'll be riding on etc. it's difficult to recommend anything. But for most people buying a hybrid bike with suspension (like the Trek 7200) is a mistake. If the vast majority of your riding will be on road you won't appreciate the suspension fork. If you're fit & flexible (guessing you are) and want to do 50 mile journeys you're better off choosing something with more aggressive geometry than a hybrid. Maybe a touring bike as these are usually built with more versatility in mind than a standard road bike, so would be fine for carrying heavy loads, pulling a trailer, gravel surfaces, or even going on group rides with your local racing club.
Realistically, for something new, that will last several years with minimal maintenance issues then you could easily spend $1000 or more. Just look at it as an investment.

TORONTO - Jose Reyes is at the ballpark long before his teammates arrive, working toward a return from injury that can't come quickly enough for the player and for the Blue Jays.
Quietly, which is a relative term when it comes to the affable shortstop, Reyes is doing his rehab. Come game time, Reyes is his vocal self as he roots on his teammates from his dugout perch. "I'm anxious to come back," Reyes, adorned in a sleeveless Superman t-shirt, told TSN.ca. "We haven't played the level that everybody was expecting. This team is better than the record shows. We need to turn it around as soon as possible because our division is not easy at all. It's hard to gain ground. Like I said I just want to be there, I'm going to continue to work hard every day doing my rehab from eight o'clock in the morning from the time I work out, my rehab."
The recovery from a badly sprained left ankle is tedious; it happens in baby steps.
For two weeks, Reyes was in a cast, followed by two more weeks in a walking boot. The time was spent at his New York home.
He rejoined the club last week and on Friday, unencumbered by any type of ankle bracing, he began light sprints.
Reyes expects to begin taking batting practice and ground balls on Monday or Tuesday. These "baseball activities," as they're called, are another step toward recovery but shouldn't be misconstrued as a fast-tracking of the rehab process.
"The key is going to be running, you know, the bases and stuff like that because you can take a ground ball right in front of you and you feel good," said Reyes. "You can take BP and you feel good but when it comes to running and jumping around in a real game it's a different story."
There's no timeline for Reyes' return to game action, which will begin with a minor league rehab assignment. Until then, he'll remain with the club under the watchful eyes of head trainer George Poulis and strength coach Bryan King. His presence is appreciated, particularly by the younger Dominican-born players.
"They're good impressions for me to play with a guy like that," said reliever Esmil Rogers. "He's so happy to play the game and to come to the stadium with the same attitude. They show me it doesn't matter what day you've got, every day is a new day."
Reyes admits to injury-related boredom. He's always moving, always invested. He watches the games closely and offers teammates insight on pitchers' tendencies and other trends while keeping the dugout loose.
"That's the way it is. When I'm not playing I don't know what to do. It's kind of crazy for me," said Reyes. "Some guys, they don't want me in the dugout, they want me playing in the field because they say I'm messing around too much. That's the way I am, nobody is going to change that for me. I like to enjoy, I like to be around my teammates. That's why I'm going to continue to do my rehab with the ballclub because I want to be here."
Reyes was off to a hot start. In 10 games, he was hitting .395/.465/.526 and was successful in each of his five stolen base attempts. In a disappointing season in which the fan base is looking for reasons to be optimistic, Reyes' return is one of them.
He wants to rein in the expectations.
"People have to understand this is going to be a process because I've been away from baseball for a little while," said Reyes. "Everything is not coming right away. Like I said I'll do everything to bring my talent to the field and help this ballclub. Hopefully it won't take that long. Hopefully when I come out, I come out ready to go and people can see the real Jose Reyes."
Reliever Esmil Rogers, who pitched the final three innings of Friday night's 10-6 Blue Jays loss to Baltimore, is expected to start Wednesday night's game in Atlanta.
Rogers threw a full bullpen session on Sunday morning and told TSN.ca he wasn't available for the series finale against the Orioles and likely wouldn't be available for Monday's and Tuesday's games versus the Braves.
If Rogers gets the ball on Wednesday he would become the 11th different starting pitcher for the Blue Jays this season.

WEST OLIVE, MI (WHTC) - Drunken driving is the target of the upcoming Labor Day traffic enforcement initiative along the Lakeshore and across the state. A mobile billboard featuring a custom police cruiser with a taxi cap wrap on half of the patrol car has a special message for drunk drivers: "Choose Your Ride." It was displayed outside of the Ottawa County Administration Building in the Fillmore Street Complex this morning as law enforcement officers from 155 local police departments, sheriff offices and the Michigan State Police posts will conduct drunken driving patrols and seatbelt enforcement surveillance. Federal funding for the extra shifts is being funneled through the state Office of Highway Safety Planning. Authorities hope to cut down on the eight fatalities recorded during last Labor Day weekend in Michigan, four of which were considered alcohol-related.

GRAND RAPIDS (WKZO) -- As flooding around Grand Rapids got worse over the weekend, the Red Cross stepped in to help some of those who were affected. The organization's Kelly Hudson says that many homes were totally surrounded by water, forcing their residents to flee.
She says the Red Cross is seeing a growing number of people showing up to its offices. The organization is running several shelters near the affected flood areas.
She says the Red Cross is also giving out clean up kits to people whose homes were damaged by the flooding. They contain things like a five gallon bucket, sponges, mops, and bleach. Hudson also notes these things are pretty expensive, and you can make a donation to help out at www.RedCross.org .

Gunnar Widforss: Painter of the National Parks Presented by Alan Petersen and Elizabeth Black. In that era of dramatic social change and artistic fervor, Swedish-born painter Gunnar Widforss spent thirteen years creating an unrivaled body of work documenting the beauty of the American West. He painted with determination to capture his vision, and then he died suddenly at the Grand Canyon at the age of 55. In his commitment to the truth and beauty of his subject, Widforss never resorted to sentimental or romanticized depictions, so prevalent in depictions of western subjects. He may be viewed as one of the greatest artists to paint the West and his obscurity is a paradox.

As you know, we launched our new compute optimized instance family (C3) a few weeks ago, and wow, are we seeing unprecedented demand across all sizes and all Regions! As one of our product managers just told me, these instances are simply "fast in every dimension." They have a high performance CPU, matched with SSD-based instance storage and EC2's new enhanced networking capabilities, all at a very affordable price.
We believed that this instance type would be popular, but would not have imagined just how popular they've been. The EC2 team took a look back and found that growth in C3 usage to date has been higher than they have seen for any other newly introduced instance type. We're not talking about some small percentage difference here. It took just two weeks for C3 usage to exceed the level that the former fastest-growing instance type achieved in twenty-two weeks! This is why some of you are not getting the C3 capacity you're asking for when you request it.
In the face of this growth, we have enlarged, accelerated, and expedited our orders for additional capacity across all Regions. We are working non-stop to get it in-house, and hope to be back to more normal levels of capacity in the next couple of weeks.

Web Producer: Brad Maglinger
It's a small, quiet town of 1,400 that is known for its yearly watermelon festival.
"We are a religious community you might say," says Owensville town councilman Bernard Thompson. "We have a lot of church going people who are God-fearing people, and this is not something they desire, I can assure you of that."
What some residents don't desire is just outside the city limits. Behind boarded-up windows is a swinger's club.
"We basically feel that it's not something we want in our community," says Thompson. "We don't want anything to upset our image as a nice, clean, little town."
The club's Web site advertises a dance floor, DJ, ten "play rooms" and showers. The club also welcomes overnight guests. The owner of "Club Escapades" tells Newswatch it's a private club for consenting couples only. He stresses that the club is simply an alternative life-style, and absolutely legal.
"It's not illegal. In my opinion, it's just immoral," Thompson says.
So, doesn't Gibson County have any zoning laws? Norma Tillerson, an Owensville Resident, says, "Well, they better start making some."
Still, some residents don't want it anywhere near their small town of Owensville, even if it is past the city limits.
"No, I don't approve of it. I've got grandkids," says Tillerson. "No. They see enough as it is and now they've got the swingers here and the strippers over there. That's a fine how-do-you-do in this small town, you know?"
Others say as long as the club keeps a low-profile, no harm is being done. Others like resident Brett Short. "I think what people do in their own time is their own business," says Short.
Indiana Excise Police officer Pat Fulford says he plans to check into the ''bring your own booze'' passage in the club's advertisement because such arrangements are illegal in Indiana.

I was wondering if anyone can suggest a good photography course to enrol onto. I have looked at my local college and the next course does not start until Jan 2013.
I need a eve or distance learning course which will teach me the basics and then develop my photography further.
I have already had a picture published and wish to nurture my hobby!!!
Thanks in anticipation
Have a look at this. The Open University course. I did it a few years ago, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Quote: what were the fees for this course?
When I did it, I think it was about £200. Now it depends where you live. In England, £415, anywhere else in the UK (Scotland, Ireland, Wales) £220. Don't ask me why.
Probably too late this year, but I have just completed an A level in photography at the local adult ed. good mixture of teaching and challenging practical exercises. I guess tutors vary, the one I had for the second year was brilliant and really challenged me out of my comfort zones. And good value for money I think £ 5oo for the year.
We start part 1 of our Digital Photography course at my club in a month. Ten modules of 1 hr over 5 consecutive Tuesday evening (it also includes an assignment and homework). The course is open to members only but we only charge £25. Unless you live in Gloucestershire this may not be of direct help to you but perhaps a local club is offering courses?
for those based in London please note our photography school' website
we have a good range of short photography courses run by pros in central London Waterloo
please take a minute and have a look at our testimonials from former students here:
You do know that you can learn the basic with having to do a 'course'
KenTaylors suggestion seems a good place to start but there's also a ton of website that offer free tutorials, course and the like.
You say you want to learn the basics, as in exposure, composition and the like?
Quote: Thank you for your replies on this subject.
Does anyone know of a photography club in the Harrogate/north yorkshire area or of any good courses in this area.
Thanks again,
Could try this....

CLINTON (WATE) - A drug investigation leads to an active meth lab and the arrest of several individuals.
According to the Anderson County Sheriff's Office, deputies investigated a home along Oliver Springs Highway Wednesday where they discovered a meth making operation.
Seven people are now facing charges of initiation of meth manufacturing, promotion of meth manufacturing and criminal conspiracy.
Two of those suspects, Brittaney Michelle Blankenblicker and Gary Lynn Gregory Goodman, are also being held for outstanding warrants in Campbell County.
Deputies also say Michael Edward Weiss has an extensive arrest record with other prior methamphetamine charges along with numerous felonies including burglary and theft offenses.
All seven suspects are being held in the Anderson County Detention Facility with bonds pending their arraignment.
Investigators were on the scene for about three hours to clear the scene. The residence has also been quarantined.

Chris, I think part of his problem is that he's playing a bear. Bears are so woeful at tanking right now I almost wish they'd stop trying and just have blizzard make feral a DPS-only tree. Yes, there are very good bear tanks out there, but given the paucity of the bear toolbox, they're much - MUCH - harder to play well than a paladin, DK, or (particularly) a warrior (who has an *overflowing* tanking toolbox). Bears have problems, and your average pug DPSer doesn't know about that; they just see a bear struggling to pull, generate, and keep aggro, and conclude that the tank is incompetent.

Vt. police say Peacham victim shot twiceThe Associated Press | June 21,2013PEACHAM - A Vermont State Police detective says a Peacham man was shot twice in the chest by his wife's ex-husband before he shot himself in the head.

Hill Takes Green Cup

Hill Hall took top prize in the 2010 Green Cup challenge, an energy reduction competition between residence halls in the Hill Community. Hill won by a mere five points over the other contenders, including Boggs, Church, Lipscomb, Mell and Oglethorpe halls. Points were based on a formula that calculated a numeric value based on energy and water savings, recycling and waste audits and event attendance. In the final week, Hill Hall was averaging just 22 gallons of water per student. To put that in perspective, the average American uses 100 gallons per day. Also in the final week, Lipscomb Hall's energy usage was down 40 percent from the previous year's average. The competition took place between Sept. 13 and Oct. 10, culminating in a final celebration on Oct. 11. The Green Cup was sponsored by the UGA Parents and Families Foundation, UGA Office of Sustainability, UGA Housing and the Ecofocus Film Festival.

The Government aren't listening to the men and women who do the job nor apparently are they going to listen to their own advisors, HMIC. Since March 2008, we've lost 400 officers and are losing around 200 more by 2015, so the picture's bleak. The truth is numbers do matter and only those willing to be blinded by statistics, could believe the percentage on frontline policing is improving, when numbers are being decimated.
Maybe it is time the whole system was looked at not just the officers … but the fortunes spent on police transport , police stations, custody suites, often pointlessly long court cases ( quite often caused by technicalities, ( ie lets go back to the law being black and white and remove the grey areas) The ridiculous amounts of money spent needlessly on legal aid, Court buildings used for only 7 hours a day ( if that ) . Possible 24 hour courts, fixed penalties . A quicker simpler more sensible justice system than we have now .. the savings would be immense and the criminals might actually fear it !
Why not amalgamate Lincs with Humberside and get rid of CC, Deputy CC & 2 ACC's who do WHAT exactly other than support outsourcing to G4S for which they do NOT have a mandate from the people of Lincolnshire. We will be in the unique position of having Winsor telling the police authority how to get rid of officers, his firm advising G4S how to take over the jobs and Winsor inspecting the result!! What a disgrace.

Stay-at-Home Moms Deserve a Salary
I learned about a friend's sister who gets paid to be a stay-at-home mom and felt grossly underpaid. I love being a SAHM, but come Friday, there are no checks for me to cash, no monetary number put on the work that I do all week with the kids, no salary. This mom in particular gets paid by her husband every week for essentially being the CEO of the household. I don't know the amount she is paid, but I believe it's substantial, as she has her own bank account and expenses that are designated for her to take care of out of that pay.
I was fascinated by this. When I got married and had kids, my husband and I merged our bank accounts. I was a working mom for a couple of years until I began staying home with the kids and freelancing last year. It works for us, but I will admit there are times that I wish I had my own money, something that really reflects what I do each day, and my own account.
For example, whenever I buy my husband something -- for the holidays or his birthday -- it's not always a surprise because he sometimes sees the purchase listed in our bank statement before I give him the gift. There are ways around this, of course, if I paid with cash is one way, but then I have to share why I'm taking money out so he's aware and our bills aren't affected. Same with credit cards since he is technically the CFO and takes care of the bills.
I also don't like having to ask for money. I don't like feeling like I have to. It makes me feel like I'm asking for permission, for an allowance as if I am 14 again.
I'm going to go buy myself new jeans.
Don't you have a million pairs already?
I need a million and one.
Of course, I'm not just talking about frivolous purchases. But we all deserve those too once in a while.
It's my own fault I'm not more involved in our banking, but when we married and divided up responsibilities, I was happy to give that one up. But there are times I can't help but feel that was a mistake. I'm an adult; I don't want to feel like I have to justify my purchases, but without really having a grasp on our financials, I kind of have to discuss it.
Which is exactly why all stay-at-home moms should get a salary, and perhaps even have their own bank account, or just be more involved in the banking. How much should that salary be? That all depends on how much money is coming in. And with some couples, putting a price on how much the job of a SAHM is worth could cause some major issues. This also goes for stay-at-home dads. What should the stay-at-homes get? Ten percent of the "breadwinner's" salary? Twenty or thirty percent? Should we be in charge of buying the clothes, paying the phone bills, getting the groceries?
This salary could end animosity. It may give stay-at-homes more self worth by putting an actual monetary value to all we do. It could also make SAHMs as happy as working moms, as studies have suggested those who work outside the home are healthier and less prone to depression. It could even end arguments between couples. Until it's time for a raise. Which SAHMs should be up for every year. I think it's a concept worth discussing.
Do you think stay-at-home moms (or dads) deserve a salary?

ruthless1December 21, 2012 at 11:12 AMWhat kind of marriages do these people have? My husband and I are a team...we have money...property...a bank account...and it is all "ours" regardless of how it gets there. I am a SAHM but when my husband does the taxes, for instance, he says "WE" made $X this year. That is because we are a team and we work together for our family. My contributions dont bring in actual cash but they are just as important, and he tells me so on a regular basis.

Stay at home moms deserve a salary for taking care of your own household and children?
- -- Nonmember comment from
CynthiaDecember 21, 2012 at 11:22 AMI've read many pieces on SAH's worth and it's in excess of $400 000/year for all the roles they juggle and the fact that they rarely have time off or sick days! As a SAHM, I think this is fair, but not reality, esp in today's economy. I would be thrilled to have even $50/month with no questions asked to do with as I please. Unfortunately this also isn't going to happen right now because the money just isn't there with the way my husband's job took a hit in the last few years. My choice right now is to do more work either outside the home or something from home to make the extra money which will just go to helping with the expenses to pay things down faster anyways.

MamaHasWingsDecember 21, 2012 at 11:25 AM
While I think that stay-at-home mothers deserve recognition for the work that they do, a salary specifically for being a SAHM is a little overboard. There is nothing wrong with a husband giving his wife a little "spending money" for doing a good job but a daily salary? That's a business arrangement, not a marriage!
- --
Net1957December 21, 2012 at 11:28 AM
When my kids were young and I was a SAHM I didn't need a salary. We considered my husband's salary as "our" money and it went into our joint account. If I needed something, either for the household, kids or either one of us, I just bought it with that money. I never had to ask my husband for money or give him a reason for my spending. That's just the way it was and still is. Now the kids are grown, I work full time and the all of our money is still going into the joint account for both of us as we need it.
- -- Nonmember comment from
SamDecember 21, 2012 at 11:28 AMIf you want to get paid, get a job. If you feel animosity towards your spouse because you don't have "your own money" then you need to work on your relationship. If you don't feel like your contributions to the household and the growth of your children are enough of a reward then that's your problem. Why can't we be satisfied with our choices, not worry about what the Joneses are doing, and stop trying to put a value on the gift of raising children to be the best they can be.

purpleflower514December 21, 2012 at 11:53 AM
I do get a salary- I get millions of kisses and hugs every day. I get to be the one to teach my kids to read and how much fun it is to watch MASH and Babylon 5 on cold winter days during lunch time. I get to help them learn new skills and snuggle them at nap time. It doesn't pay money but it certainly pays well.
- --
LaurlevDecember 21, 2012 at 12:02 PMIt would be silly to put our money in a separate account and call it my salary.
- --
fleurdelys3110December 21, 2012 at 12:14 PMWhy I would never be a SAHM. Regardless if you call your husbands money "our money", you didn't physically earn it. While that arrangement may work for some people, dependence of that sort would never work for me.
- --
MasonsMom503December 21, 2012 at 12:20 PMI agree with Laurielev. I'm jealous at times of SAHMs because of the amount of time they get with their kids! But then sometimes I'm happy to go to work just to get some alone time!
Have you thought of selling off stuff you own and don't use? Ebay, craigslist, whatever. Open a paypal account, you can get a paypal debit card. Then you have a "seperate" account of the money you earn. Just a suggestion. :)

An infuriating exercise in geek-baiting populated by unlikable characters that grows more frustrating through its 113 minutes!
happily blares eFilmCritic
To win [Ramona], [Scott] needs to duel her ex-boyfriends in fantasy sequences based on video games. Oh, great.
roars East Bay Express
It's the indulgence of everything a not-quite-adult, no-longer-a-kid manchild could want from women, in a package designed to appeal to not-quite-adult, no-longer-a-kid manchildren who would happily see their lives in the metaphors of the comic books, sitcoms, and videogames they were weaned on!
enthusiastically babbles Flick Filmosopher
If such an experience defines the current generation, the alarmist Chicken Little crowd that's always moaning about our society's dire future might be onto something!
prognosticates Critic's Notebook
Scott [Pilgrim] is a low-wattage and barely sentient drip with all the charisma of a plastic plant!
praises eFilmCritic
Just as there are some amusement park attractions that require riders to be a certain minimum height, there are movies that probably ought to be restricted to viewers below a certain age!
quips Dr. Frank Swietek
The center doesn't hold!

FORT EDWARD, N.Y. (AP) - An eastern New York man accused of tampering with a propane line before an explosion that killed six people is set to be sentenced.
The Glens Falls Post-Star reports that 34-year-old Steven McComsey is due in court Thursday afternoon.
He pleaded guilty last month to criminally negligent homicide. He had been facing six counts of manslaughter.
Under the terms of the deal with Washington County prosecutors, McComsey didn't admit wrongdoing, but acknowledged strong evidence he'd acted recklessly. He faces 1 to 3 years in prison.
The explosion that destroyed his Salem home in July 2011 killed McComsey's girlfriend, the girlfriend's son and 2-month-old granddaughter, the baby's father, McComsey's nephew and a woman visitor.
Investigators said a spark from a water pump switch ignited propane that had leaked and accumulated in the cellar.

Relative energy of a black hole.
View Single Post
Feb21-12, 08:53 AM
Quote by
...Extract from 'How does the gravity get out of the black hole?'-
"...the gravitational field is a fossil field. The same is true of the electromagnetic field that a black hole may possess.
And that same source goes on to say:
Often this question is phrased in terms of gravitons, the hypothetical quanta of spacetime distortion. If things like gravity correspond to the exchange of "particles" like gravitons, how can they get out of the event horizon to do their job?
Gravitons don't exist in general relativity, because GR is not a quantum theory. They might be part of a theory of quantum gravity when it is completely developed, but even then it might not be best to describe gravitational attraction as produced by virtual gravitons. See the physics FAQ on virtual particles for a discussion of this.
Nevertheless, the question in this form is still worth asking, because black holes can have static electric fields, and we know that these may be described in terms of virtual photons. So how do the virtual photons get out of the event horizon? Well, for one thing, they can come from the charged matter prior to collapse, just like classical effects. In addition, however, virtual particles aren't confined to the interiors of light cones: they can go faster than light! Consequently the event horizon, which is really just a surface that moves at the speed of light, presents no barrier.
Nice try, but presenting the problems and pretending to answer them doesn't cut it imo. So the 'fossil field', be it gravitational or electric, is a source unto itself? Perhaps someone can enlighten me here. It is well known that in GR the stress-energy tensor T as source of gravity contains zero contribution from the field itself. Yet when we get to a notional BH, seems some kind of magic takes over and the 'fossil field' of necessity becomes it's own source. Pray tell how is this not an act of sweeping under the rug an embarrassing contradiction? Carefully avoiding the words 'field as source term' and vaguely substituting 'fossil field' is not simply calling a rose by another name?
Further, just how can there be a necessarily *continuous* virtual particle exchange process giving rise to an exterior electric field? Seems especially problematic to me given that all temporal processes for any and all objects at or interior to the BH EH have come to a screeching halt wrt the BH exterior, where the E field supposedly effortlessly extends. It surely takes two to tango if an exchange process is to occur. You can have a genuine exchange if at one end of the telegrapher's line the telegrapher is in deep suspended animation?! In other words, if the exchange *rate* is necessarily zero, how is any exchange at all taking place between an external 'hovering' entity and charged matter at or interior to the EH? What deep principle am I missing here?

LA House Tour: Josh and Laurie's OC Modern
Name: Josh and Laurie Zimber
Location: Long Beach, Ca
Size: 3000 sq/ft
Years lived in: 2 Years (own)
>> Enter Slideshow
>> See All Thumbnails
When we first walked into Josh and Laurie's place, we were there to buy furniture. As purveyer's of OC Modern, the Zimbers use their own house in Long Beach as a showroom for their incredible selection of Danish Modern and Mid Century pieces. Because the stock is always changing, they get to rearrange and rethink the space often. Although the house is 3000 square feet, most of that is the downstairs showroom while they do most of their living upstairs where it's considerable smaller, but no less stylish:
How could we not mention the skate ramp front and center? It was the first thing we saw when we walked in and it set the tone for the whole experience. Although neither Laurie nor Josh are actually from California, they seem to have embraced the attitude and the style.
The house is laid out like any other house, if you were able to own all of the most awesome danish modern pieces and put them in one place. And at 3000 square feet, you could probably call this 'sprawling' but because the house is a series of rooms all organized around a zen-like courtyard and hot tub, it feels intimate and comfortable. The tub, by the way, was built by the couple that lived in the house for 32 years before Josh and Laurie bought it a couple years ago.
Josh tells it like this:
The husband was a surfer and music teacher from Hawaii, the wife was a social worker from Norway. They seemed to be very active and have lots of gathering at the house. They used the garage where the ramp is now as a voting poll place during election times and had all the neighborhood people over to vote. Several customers have come through that had previously voted there etc. The wife was homesick so she had her husband use a Scandinavian influence (wood floors/ceilings and fireplaces in every room) to help her feel more at home. He had a very natural hawaiian style indoor/outdoor idea - lots of colorful tiles all over etc as well as all the glass doors, access to the outside from every room, the atrium etc. They were definitely a very unique couple that did whatever they desired during their remodels as opposed to cookie cutter/traditional plans.
Seems to make sense and explains that while the house is perfectly in order it doesn't feel stuffy or uptight, you could even say that the house has great flow. We did wonder how they could live in it and still keep things so ordered and clean. Turns out it's because they do their day to day living upstairs in a smaller area that's all theirs (no clients get to peek inside). So we were pretty excited that they were willing to photograph it for a house tour. Thanks to both of them for being willing to share their only private space (along with the rest of their gorgeous home) with us!

That ramp is a boyhood dream come true.
The house is awesome, especially that soaking tub! Is there some part of Long Beach that is part of Orange County? I grew up there and had always thought that all of LB was in LA County.
Long Beach is in Los Angeles County.
Is anyone actually from California?
Ever since the format change, I can't see pictures from the house tours in the slideshow format. Too bad. I wish AT would revert to the previous format for slideshows until these issues are fixed. (Funny, the ads always show up great, just not the photos of the house.)
Yes...and some of us are even native.
I think OC Modern is referring to the company they run out of their home, not that the home is in OC.
The home is amazing! i love the layout and the furniture is a source of endless envy.
Pretty freakin' Cool!! I would feel very at home there - really love that you have a skate ramp. We should all learn from that and have our homes exactly how we want them, not worry about what others may think.
ps - Santa Barbara, California native...

I am just glad to see that the skateboard ramp is in the garage. I first watched the slideshow and thought it was actually IN the house. I'm from Orange County, and I know people with just as shocking installments within the home. (Front of an old semi truck as a TV/ stereo piece, stripper poles, etc!!!)
Oh, I thought the ramp was IN part of the house... either way, I like your style!
also they started oc modern when they were living in orange county, then they moved to lb but kept the name.
Is it just me(my 3 different browsers), or has the slideshow function ceased to work?
Now it makes sense why it looks like a jumbled mess - it's not really a home, but a store.
BTW - I'm on Safari at home and I was able to click through the pix fine - it just doesn't work at the office on IE.
Long Beach is in LA county although OC weekly seems to think otherwise, and yes, I know they like Long Beach which is why they include it.
And yes, there are a few of us here who were actually born in CA.
The skateboard ramp is a nice touch.
I'm a native too!
i love poorly (very, very poorly) built skateramps! OMG SKATEBOARDS!
Who has 3,000 square feet?!
