You guys are right-on, there is an incredible amount of stress on mothers (never fathers) to be perfect. There is incredible stress for women to "do it all" and balance work and family life, yet still be a charming perfect hostess or sexy trophy wife as the situation dictates. And oh, my god is there ever an insane advertising market for pregnancy and babies. You *need* a maternity tank top that you will only wear for 3 months of your life, etc. And your baby NEEDS the ridiculous designer baby clothes that are worn once, then outgrown!
But IMHO, the DIY movement is a great boon to motherhood. I could mash up a banana myself and have jars worth of baby food for 15 cents or I could pay 90 cents for an itty bitty jar of baby bananas that is at least half water. I swear to you, making baby food is a snap. You steam the food and mash it with a fork or use a hand held grinder. I keep a few jars of baby food in the pantry for convenience when I'm too busy to cook or on the road, etc. But generally, I grind up some food for the baby at the same time I'm cooking dinner. Really, don't let anyone convince you it's difficult or even time consuming. I have done a complete 180 degree flip on a lot of these issues. When I was in my twenties, I would not have been caught dead knitting socks, or sewing a dress or baking brownies. I felt like these were tasks meant to sap the time and energy of intelligent women and keep them from doing something better and more worth while with their time and talents. Then when I began to see how we have become a sickly, obese nation that no longer recognizes real, whole foods in our quest for super-processed, chemical crap meant to be microwaved in a box I realized I wanted something different. And if I wanted whole, natural foods and a healthy body, I would have to learn to cook. That was the starting point to my painstaking acquisition of skills that were second nature for our great-grandmothers but a real bitch for me. I now see these things as self-sufficiency and even as revolutionary in a fuck corporate capitalism and make your own damn shit sort of way. All this reminds me that this workplace vs. home life is a modern issue. Until very recently there was no separation between the two. The home was a place where men and women produced the things that sustained them and they sold the excess, or provided services for hire. We have made our professional way of life very linear and male-oriented so as NOT to accommodate the cycles of nature or women. Or really, anything human or humane. When I see the options for women placed before me an alarm bell goes off in my head. I think these options look terribly contrived. I wonder if women should throw these limiting or impossible/perfectionistic models out and start imagining something better for ourselves. -------------------- "The U.S. is the only nation on Earth to pass from barbarism into decadence without once passing through an era of civilization."

I don't agree with everything she says at all: I can't get behind promoting formula either and I don't agree with shipping kids off to boarding school before they even hit double figures. I do agree that motherhood (as opposed to parenthood) has been highjacked and exaggerated as a practice and activity. Mothers are under insane scrutiny, which puts pressure on them to make perfect decisions. The pressure to breastfeed for example is huge and causes a lot of women who can't unnecessary emotional pain.
Meanwhile fathers and fatherhood are virtually ignored in media coverage (as are working class people, except when low-income mothers are being blamed for feeding their kids crap). I see the impact this has on my mister who is a father; it makes him justifiably angry. Koffee, our capitalist culture has commodified motherhood too--why else are people spending hundreds on a stroller? |

I agree that I can see the many possible corporate connections the woman might have. But I also agree with some of what she says. Because I want a career, and like my line of work, and because it doesn't pay enough for me to afford many conveniences, I feel like I have to choose in my life between career and children. And when it comes down to it, part of it IS because of this cult of motherhood thing that's been growing over the last decade. so much emphasis is put on all the things mothers must do to keep their baby safe and healthy, and a lot of them are totally limiting and demand extra time spent at home and with the child. home made baby food? yikes. home schooling seems to be so popular now too, but shouldn't the kid be going to daycare and learning to socialize? Who says time away from the parents is all that bad? so much focus on motherhood and not enough on fatherhood still leaves all the burden on the woman, too, and I feel that I would fall behind in my career, probably have to abandon it, if I had children.
I know what you mean about the so-called freedom to become a worker bee though. If I wasn't set out for an academic career, I'd rather stay home and raise a familiy than work for the man. And I just can't accept any truth behind the claim that formula is freeing. That's what breast pumps and bottled mama milk are for, right? |

I don't know syb; this woman oughta be the posterchild of Big Corporations everywhere. I mean TRUE fulfillment cannot possibly be found in bonding with another being but with shopping, self-absorption and instant gratification, right? Personally I find that most mammalian animals do the things they do for their young because they feel a natural inclination driven by profound love.
And I think her ideas of what's "easier" are crazy. Why would I want to get my ass out of a warm cozy bed to warm up a baby formula bottle when I can just roll over, give the baby a tit and fall back to sleep. (Oh, and did I mention you can EAT anything you want while breastfeeding and not gain weight? The only time of my life I can eat 4000 calories if I feel like it and the baby sucks it all off of me). She can have her bottles of formula and her paid help if she wants (feminism is about women making their own choices, after all). But I'm happy to enjoy my days reading great novels while nursing the baby, flying kites and coloring the parking lot with sidewalk chalk next to the kids. It's my partner that works the high-stress, low-pay, miserable job that I feel sorry for these days. Of course the right to be a wage slave without a union has never felt like feminism to me. (Later) Wow. The more I think of that article the more I think it irks me. It's like it's not our shallow, throw-away, consumer-driven, youth-obsessed culture that is the problem. And it's not marketers and advertising that manipulates us, it's our babies? -------------------- "The U.S. is the only nation on Earth to pass from barbarism into decadence without once passing through an era of civilization."

Re. the rise of 'motherism', I thought this was interesting. The author being interviewed, a French philosopher and mother of 3, is clearly speaking from a position of privilege, but she makes some good points about the self-imposed 'tyranny' of motherhood--including the (forgotten) observation that devices such as the washing machine had a serious impact on freeing women from domestic tyranny. All these organic diapers and homemade baby food mean a lot more work...
(Of course, as ever in these articles, the fathers are invisible.) Also, I have made a point of not attending kiddy birthday parties; some lovely friends of ours don't even invite us anymore, as I think they know we're not into it. They have developed a great strategy IMO of socialising separately with their parenting and childfree friends. |

Oh I love this board! I just had a traumatizing experience at a 3-year-old's birthday party yesterday and sooo need to vent a bit. We were the only couple who showed up sans-child, but we did want to go because they are all my sweetie's best friends (and how annoying is it that all his best friends are breeding? ugh. but anyways...) but it was very awkward. Everyone had at least 2 babies/toddlers, and there were 2 sets of twins, and all the parents were just so exhausted and unhappy looking. I mean, I am working 2 jobs right now and feel like crap, but I didn't feel half as tired as everyone else looked. And I kinda felt unwelcome for the first time.
All my sweetie's friends were standing around holding babies and they looked at him and joked, "where's yours?" and I took the opportunity to back away slowly.... It felt weird because all the girls asked me how school is going and I told them about going back to grad school and doing fieldwork and they were very sweet and supportive, but also kinda sad because some of them have told me about how much they want to go back to school and move up in their careers, but now they can't. Then I went out with my friends last night, we turned off the lights for earth hour and sat around a campfire (I know, smoke isn't earth friendly lol) and stayed up until 1 am and it was awesome. I agree so much about the feminism stuff. I've been hearing about motherhood taking over women's rights topics as well. and it seems to me any focus on children being "women's" territory only sets women's rights back. I can't believe how much I see my friends with children taking so much of the work and responsibility, and setting their careers back, while their husbands still get to be the good ol' boys who might lost some sleep and lose some of their financial independence, but still give up so much less than their wives. I've seen 2 girls give up on their grad school thesis (that they've paid thousands for!) for their kids while their husband goes off to work, barely affected. Now I've also seen a few stellar equal partnerships, but how can they be so rare? How can men I otherwise really respect let this happen to their wives? Or is it, how can women I really respect give themselves up like this? Maybe I'll just never understand until I have a child myself (aHAHAHAH *sarcastic laughter*) On a semi-related topic, Women's rights have plummetted in Canada since Harper became PM KW, I have been using fertility awareness too. What I've learned is, I'm not very fertile. But anyways, I agree with you so much about the responsibilities of birth control. And it is still usually women who will suffer most of the economic, physical, and social consequences when unplanned pregnancies happen. I know 2 girls who got pregnant in LTR's completely by accident, and the damn guy just picked up and disappeared (or in one case, cheated on her while she was pregnant and left befor the baby turned 1). I feel very lucky to have a supportive boyfriend who always was appreciative wthat I was sacrificing my health while I was on the pill, and is 100% cooperative now that we are back to barrier methods. But I shouldn't feel lucky for that, it should be normal! |

I'm so glad this thread exists. There's no where else on the internet I feel safe posting this stuff.
Okay. If your child is SCREAMING her little head off in a store, the thing to do is TAKE YOUR CHILD OUT OF THE FUCKING STORE. DO NOT keep waiting, with your SCREAMING child, in a long, long, long line up to pay for your crap. I could understand maybe if someone is buying essentials like groceries or medicine. But seriously? This was at VALUE VILLAGE at lunch time! The child was REALLY SCREAMING, like, you could hear her in all corners of the store, and likely outside as well. By "hear her," I mean, her screams pierced your eardrums no matter where you were in the store. And the mom only held the child in her arms and attempted to soothe her. Everyone I crossed paths with exchanged eye rolls and exasperated looks with me. WTF is such a goddamned important purchase at VALUE VILLAGE that you feel you have a right to subject 100 other customers to top-of-the-lungs SCREAMING by your child??? Put down the $6 overpriced piece of junk that somebody else threw away, and GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE STORE UNTIL YOUR CHILD CALMS DOWN!!!!!! I'm sure the store would even hold it for you. Just to get you the fuck out. Seriously. I have not even one tiny little piece of human empathy for this mom. That's just fucking rude, selfish, and obnoxious. OTOH, it was just one more confirmation that my decision not to have kids was absolutely right for me. Ugh. -------------------- Check out my band's new demo online!

WTF is it about parents anyway?
My boss upstairs loaned me out to another department for end of year stuff - THIS new supervisor asked me if I could come in a half hour earlier and leave a half hour earlier, because he has to leave early to pick up his kids. Okay, no problem, I can respect that. I hate mornings, but I can do it. But then? He never shows up on time in the morning! I drag my ass out of bed to get here 15 minutes early, so I can get coffee and set up my workstation and all that jazz, but I can't actually START working until he's here, because this isn't my department and I don't know what to do without supervision. That was the whole reason for the schedule change. EVERY MORNING he's late, and why? Because of the kids dawdling. THESE ARE TEENAGERS, not willful 4 year olds! Come on! Maybe this belongs in Corn Cobs....nah. -------------------- Check out my band's new demo online! You can DL my original....and please fan up if ya like it!

A post-script: on the subject of mother's issues taking over feminism... I've been really upset over the lack of feminism visible in the media. When Bart Stupack pulled his shit, where was the feminist outcry? In my 20s, I organized, rallied, marched, volunteered to defend women going into abortion clinics from Operation Rescue, drove to Washington to support choice, wrote letters to the newspapers and campaigned for feminist, pro-choice candidates. I KNOW many of you do these things, too,(and may the Goddess bless you.) But where has feminism gone? Naturally the feminist mamas (like me) spend a great deal of our free time campaigning for non-sexist education, or for whole foods in school lunches or for laws that protect our breastfeeding rights. I'm dying to see feminism back in the spotlight and visible once again. We still have too many young women who either take the changes made by their grandmothers for granted or who feel that we are in a post-feminist era. So ladies, don't keep your beautiful, passionate selves buried here where you're preaching to the choir. GO out in the world and kick some ass.

Every once in a while I wonder if I'm a freak for having never thought about my "dream" wedding, never picked a baby name, never written Mrs. in front of my name to see what it looks like, and never asked to hold a baby. Then I spend a weekend doing whatever I want, and all week working my butt of for the career I want, and I know it's everyone else that's crazy. They can give in to lowest common denominator biological urges if they want, I'm not putting myself through that sh*t just to feel like I'm somehow a better, more "productive" member of society. I work, and my taxes pay for their kids' education anyways! (I don't mind that, education should be the #1 government priority, before health care even) I would never judge a single woman who got "knocked up" because I will never know what reason. I mean, I don't even comprehend why married women have children so it's clearly just not a part of life I am qualified to judge. And accidents DO happen, and a lot of girls never get the education they need, or access to health care, to stop accidents from happening. How can you judge her when it's probably some dumbass guy convincing her that not using protection won't hurt, just this once? I might be prejudiced because I know girls who have been in that situation, and kept the baby, and they were none of the things you say. Angie 21, even though it's the second paragraph I wanted to highlight I had to leave your entire post intact, as I adore it! (Even though I'm the ever-lurking hip Mama of this thread). As to getting "knocked up", I have known women who have gotten pregnant on every form of birth control out there, EVEN the hormonal IUD! The methods of birth control available honestly SUCK ass. I feel like women are expected to spend their entire adult youth on hormonal birth control with questionable health effects and then when we go through "the change" we're supposed to go through hormone replacement therapy for the rest of our lives. This has always sounded like an evil plot that benefits big pharm industries. I have known women who take their 99% effective birth control pills religiously because their lives are in serious jeopardy and they have nearly died in pregnancy, and pills have failed them. I have known people to get pregnant on depro-prevara and then not realize it until it was nearly too late for an abortion because they did not believe it was possible to get pregnant on hormonal contraceptives. My own counselor had to have fertility treatments to have her first baby and then she got pregnant on BC pills. Even having your tubes tied leaves a certain risk of pregnancy. So yes, accidents DO happen and even our best options fail. Personally, the only thing that has worked for me, it to keep track of my ovulation cycle and use extra pre-cautions during ovulation. -------------------- "The U.S. is the only nation on Earth to pass from barbarism into decadence without once passing through an era of civilization."

I heard something on CBC radio the other day, just a brief mention of the idea that motherism is taking over feminism, how "mothers rights" issues are taking over other women's rights issues on political platforms, while other women's rights issues are falling off the table. Oh yes, one hundred times this. We've got a general election coming up in the UK, and apparently all the parties are recognising that they need to be wooing women. But what political parties in the UK mean when they say "women" is "mothers". I mean yes, we are lucky here in that we have access to free contraception, we have screening programs in place for cervical and breast cancer, and as of now we have fairly good provision for abortion. But the Labour government's focus on ending child poverty has had a rather unsavoury effect in the UK - this being that single, low income people without children are now the most likely group to be living in poverty. If I decide tomorrow to irresponsibly get myself pregnant, I am guaranteed the normal unemployment benefit, much better housing, tax credits and child benefit. If I trundle along as a childfree singleton, unemployed as I currently am, struggling to put food in my own mouth? Nada. Not one party seems to want to address this issue. It's all about school catchment areas and the freedom to chose a home birth and tax credits to make it easier to return to work after children. These things are all important, sure, but there are a hell of a lot of women struggling who are completely overlooked - the subtle insinuation being that as a woman, you may as well not exist if you aren't going to breed. |

You know, the funny thing for me is, I never read STFU Parents until I saw the link here and read the comments. And I thought it was pretty funny, but at the same time, I thought, "Gee, I wish I had something to send to them!" I think maybe I've gotten away with not having obnoxious parent friends on Facebook or something. I do have friends with kids - probably most of them have kids, I'd guess. But no one has really posted anything I could have been as disgusted by as the stuff on STFU Parents. Most of the people I'm friends with have lives outside their kids, maybe, which is good. I don't know if I'd actually be able to sustain a relationship with someone whose life revolves around his or her kids. What would you talk about? I did really ENJOY STFU Parents! I've read all the way through to the end since the link was posted!

I thought that was interesting, and I guess in retrospect, I noticed the trend about 10 years ago when governments (in Canada at least) stopped referring to "women's rights" in their ministries and committees, and started using the catchphrase "women and families." Always together, you know. It's disturbing, and I wish I'd caught it sooner. Well, I caught it, but I didn't really put it together with a concept like "motherism." -------------------- Check out my band's new demo online!

The comments on that STFU Parents thread on Bust were ridiculous. So many people posting had had a total sense of humour fail to begin with. But I hate this notion (which a few commenters there seemed to have) that not being interested in children makes one a bad feminist. Comments like "motherhood IS feminism". Um, nah. Feminism should be talking about all aspects of women's lives, not this singular issue. Mothers are not worth more than childfree women. I don't know where this sense of entitlement is coming from, MY mother sure as hell doesn't have it......

it's something that I can't stand about breeders-I think it's the absolute most selfish reason to have children-cuz you think it will save your marriage. I've seen SO MANY couples do all sorts of shit like that to try to save a terrible relationship-getting engaged, getting a dog together, moving in together(I know I've been guilty of stuff like that), but thinking that a baby will save your shitty relationship is just messed up. guh.

Stone Pavilion at the Marmomacc 2007
Kengo Kuma & Associates
On the 5th October, at the Marmomacc incontra il Design show (which will take place in Verona from the 4th to the 7th October 2007), the Stone pavillon designed for Il Casone S.p.a. of Firenzuola (Pad. 6, stand c2) is to be presented by architectural master Kengo Kuma. After the celebrated works Stone Museum in Tochigi, Louis Vuitton in Osaka, Tokyo Agriculture Museum, the Nagasaki Art Museum, Lotus House and the recent Ciokkura Park in Tochigi, Kengo Kuma tackles the theme of lithic lightness with renewed creativity, initiating an intriguing interpretative and only apparently paradoxical journey: the immateriality of architecture. A "constructed immateriality" based on the antimonic rapports of solid material and luministic evanescence, of gravity and suspension.
In the Verona Pavilion, the traditional stonework becomes hollow, the walls lose their sense of heaviness so typical of conventional stone buildings. The design team coordinated by Kengo Kuma and formed by Javier Villar Ruiz, Kengo Kuma & Associates; Roberto Bartolomei, Il Casone; Stella Targetti and Francesco Funari, Targetti Sankey S.p.a.; Alfonso Acocella, Università di Ferrara; Luigi Alini, Università di Catania, proposes an interpretation of lithic lightness which draws on tradition to devise powerfully innovative solutions. Thousands of pietra serena extraforte slabs form a kind of "perforated wall" in which the material is distributed and spread around the voids. The stone modules, tetrahedrons obtained by assembling three 25x25x1-cm slabs each weighing some 5 kg, have a sharp-edged finish. This solution aims to enhance, on one hand, the precise geometry of the elements, and on the other, the more evanescent presence of shadows created by the delicate lighting system designed by Targetti. The light, crossing the cavities diagonally in an upward direction, gives life to the hollow spaces of the material and enhances the relationship between mass and void, making the walls appear to fluctuate. Such a result exploits a device of the stone weft. Where the floor surface meets the wall base, the modules thin out, lose mass, where in actual fact structural performance would require its enlargement. Once again, Kuma appears to want to place us before a paradox, contradict a "static necessity" in order to enhance the choices made in the design proposal. During the opening of the pavilion, the video Stone pavilion. Dal progetto alla costruzione, will be shown.

WWE announces nominees for Match of the Year
Undertaker vs CM Punk, John Cena vs Rock, Cody Rhodes & Goldust vs Shield and Triple H vs Brock Lesnar have been nominated for Match of the Year at the Slammy Awards show on Monday Night Raw this week.
Bray Wyatt challenging Undertaker
A name being thrown around as a possible opponent for the Undertaker at Wrestlemania 30 is Bray Wyatt, but many in WWE feel that he needs a lot more build up before being able to step into that big role.
Jake Roberts talks about traveling with Undertaker
"He came to me and he says, 'I hear you know all the great strip joints,' I said, 'yes, I do, worldwide,' he says, 'I'll travel with you'. so, he tried to hang with me, and it's a chemical world, so I was cheating. After about three or four weeks, we went to TV and Vince looked at him and said, 'Mark, I don't think you need the makeup today, you look like hell. Jake is killing you and a few days later, he was in the hospital with alcohol poisoning. Finally, I had to smarten him up and tell him how I was doing it, and we then became very, very good friends. I have all the respect in the world for Mark. He has earned everything that he has gotten. He is a unique character, I love the fact that he upholds kayfabe, just a great guy, and of course he was there for the stripper times with me, and we did it well."
Sheamus really pushing for Undertaker match
Word going around is that Sheamus has really been pushing WWE to let him work a match against Undertaker at Wrestlemania 30, as he feels that it can help him become a bigger star.
Sheamus wants Undertaker at Wrestlemania
"I'd definitely like to take on The Undertaker. That's definitely a dream of mine. I just feel like I can bring a new dynamic in there with him."
WWE advertising Wrestlemania 30
Advertisements for Wrestlemania 30 are being focused on John Cena, Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, CM Punk, Randy Orton, Alberto Del Rio and Mark Henry.
Undertaker not returning until Wrestlemania 30
There are currently no plans in place for the Undertaker to return before Wrestlemania 30.
Undertaker brought Godfather to WWE
Godfather was a given a chance with WWE because of his real life friendship with the Undertaker.

I have a column in my grid which uses a ForeignKeyConverter to map ID to value. the cell editor is a combo box which displays the value. All of that is working fine but i have a problem when i try to add a filter row to the grid. The filter is a combo box but instead of using the ForeignKeyConverter to display the value it simply shows the object name. Do you know what i can do to get the filter to show the value?
I have a small example program which shows the behaviour if you want me to upload that?
Hi Kelly,
Can you please upload your sample application? With your sample, I can provide you with an answer that caters to your scenario. In your sample, please remove the license key for security purposes.
Hi Marc,
I have attached the sample, it is the first column, TransactionType, that is giving me the problem
thank you very much
any ideas on what is causing this problem?
many thanks,
does anyone have any suggestions? this problem is a real showstopper for us as it means we basically can't use the filter row which we really need

Things I liked:Most accurate pellet in my HW97K, 20 Cal. Things I would have changed:Nothing What others should know:Don't go asking for 20 cal. pellets in local stores, unless your gun is an old Sheridan, because all they may have is old stock in the yellow box; which is good for Sheridan guns but falls out of HK97K chamber. Things I liked:Price is decent for amount of pellets and quality of product. I like the padding in tins to protect pellets. Very accurate in my .20 cal HW 80 and RX 2
Things I would have changed:Nothing What others should know:JSB pellets are among the best availiable. Things I liked:Good packaging with very uniform pellets and few damaged pellets.

By Deborah Netburn Los Angeles Times
If he needs Henry to run, Braden stands behind him and shouts to scare him into action. If he wants Henry to look annoyed, Braden blows in his face. If Henry won't cooperate, Braden bribes him with catnip and Friskies Party Mix.
Over the last six years, Braden and Henry have developed a special relationship. Braden makes YouTube videos in which Henry plays a French existentialist named Henri. The two-minute videos of the black, fluffy cat with particularly long whiskers are Internet sensations, viewed more than 10 million times.
Cat videos are so popular that they have spawned their own festival. This summer, the first ever Internet Cat Video Film Festival drew more than 10,000 people from all over the country. Some brought their cats; others wore kitty costumes.
Katie Hill, a cat lover working at the Walker Arts Center in Minneapolis, came up with the idea for the festival. She sorted through 10,000 cat video submissions before whittling the entries down to an hourlong collage.
When she asked people around the world to vote for their favorite, "Henri 2: Paw de Deux," the most popular of Braden's cat videos, won the Golden Kitty, and Braden was there to collect a statuette of a fat golden cat.
Braden, 32, used to work as a wedding videographer, but he is no longer accepting wedding gigs. He doesn't need to.
He has signed his first book deal. "Henri Le Chat Noir: The Existentialist Musings of an Angst-Filled Cat" will be published by an imprint of Random House next year. He gets about $1,000 a week in revenue from his online store, selling Henri mouse pads, mugs and T-shirts to the existentialist cat's devoted fans.
"These past few months I've transferred to Henri full time," Braden says. "I know how crazy it sounds to have this depressed French cat be my primary source of income."
Still, Henri is not the most popular cat on the Internet. That distinction belongs to Maru - a kitty from Japan with an unusually large head and a deep affinity for cardboard boxes. A collection of Maru YouTube videos has been seen more than 163 million times, making him the most watched cat in the world. Maru even has his own agent.
Maru's owner, who is notoriously publicity shy and is steadfast about remaining anonymous, says she started a blog to record his growth. In the beginning, each post was just a photograph and a sentence.
"However, I was not able to record Maru's charm only with photographs," she wrote in an email. She took videos of him, posted them to YouTube and embedded them on the blog, and watched in wonder as Maru's YouTube channel became the seventh most popular in Japan.
Even Thomas Edison found cats worth filming.
The first cat video was created in 1894, when Edison's film studio produced a 20-second moving picture for his newly invented kinetoscope. "Prof. Welton's Boxing Cats" featured two cats in a miniature boxing ring wearing boxing gloves. The Library of Congress uploaded the video to YouTube in 2009, and it has been seen more than 200,000 times.
No one can say for sure why cat videos attract such an enormous following, but Emily Huh, editor in chief of Cheezburger, a website of humor blogs, has a theory.
"Dog owners have a dog park where they can show off their dogs, but cat people don't have that," she says. "The Internet is where people who love cats can go to say, 'Look how cute my cat is.' "
Braden lives alone. He doesn't have a cat, although he thinks about getting one. He and his muse live five minutes apart.
Henry is an 8-year-old tuxedo cat with a regal white chest. He was adopted as a kitten from the Seattle Municipal Shelter. He lives with his owner and three other cats in a modest two-story house. His owner, a relative of Braden, asks that she not be identified. She is worried that someone might kidnap Henry.
Henry made his Internet debut in 2006 when Braden was a student at the Seattle Film Institute. Braden was house-sitting for Henry's owner when he got a class assignment to shoot a profile. He thought it'd be funnier to do an animal. Henry, who was easygoing and had a malleable face, came immediately to mind.
Braden got the idea of parodying the European experimental films of the 1940s and '50s that he was watching in his film history class. His feline video "Henri" earned him an A.
It racked up 300,000 page views shortly after it went up on YouTube and is still being shown in class as an example of how a good film can be made with very little money. In fact, Braden says there is no cost to make the videos except for his time and what he already spent buying the camera and the editing software for his videography work.
Braden runs his growing Henri empire out of a 625-square-foot studio condo in Wallingford, Wash..
Filming usually takes place in the relative's house. It is short but challenging. Henry tends to call it a day after about 20minutes. Braden tries to bother the cat as little as possible, often shooting with a long lens, as a wild animal photographer would do.
It takes Braden less than two weeks to make an Henri video. He films for three days, then spends about a week editing the footage and adding sound.
Braden knows that his life with Henri won't last forever.
For now, though, he tries to think about the future as little as possible. If the first Henri book sells well, he'd like to write a second one.
And if that sells well, he'd like to use some of his "cat money" to fund a different film project - either a feature-length comedy set in Seattle or perhaps a Web series, starring people.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."- Bl. John Paul II

"Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded— here and there, now and then— are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as 'bad luck.'"- Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough for Love

A degree from the University of Bristol is an investment in your future. Employers hold qualifications from Bristol in high regard, so studying here can give you a real edge when it comes to kick-starting your career after graduation. But it's still important you find out as much as you can about the cost of studying and living at Bristol before you arrive.
Bristol is a great city that's really geared towards student life. There are lots of activities to get involved in and plenty of opportunities for a cheap night out – but you'll still need to keep an eye on your cash. Learning how to budget and make the most of your money is an essential skill that's not just crucial for your time at university but for life beyond. As an undergraduate student you'll have two big expenses to cope with: tuition fees and living expenses and the University can help you to manage both.
In addition to the help and advice offered by the Government, the University offers a range of services to help you with your finances. Our Student Funding Office provides information on bursaries and scholarships, advice on budgeting and guidance on managing your money if your finances get out of control. We can even help you find part-time or holiday work through our University Job Shop.
We're want to ensure that no one is put off applying to Bristol because of increased tuition fees, and we are committed to providing a package of support to help all students to thrive at the University regardless of their circumstances. As part of this commitment, since 2006 we have invested more than Ł20 million in supporting students from low-income backgrounds.
Financial help for studentsIf you still have questions, please contact our Student Funding Office.
