The DS24 starts out with an eye-catching red-brushed aluminum front panel with the LCD, switches, rotary encoder and LED bargraphs, making it obvious that the product is a speaker processor from its look and feel. The backlit two-row monochrome LCD with adjoining six editing switches (back, next, menu, enter, gain and quit), plus the rotary encoder for parameter adjustment, provides plenty of menu-surfing capability. The two signal inputs and four signal outputs get a seven-LED bargraph treatment (-30, -24, -12, -6, -3, Limit, Clip) with the output having mute switches below the bargraphs. A conventional curvette rocker on/off power rounds out the front-panel interfaces.
The Gear
The BBE DS24 uses quality 24-bit analog to digital to analog converters working at 48k samples per second with low-latency conversions. With this knowledge, the 0.01% THD and 110 dB dynamic range are easily met. The downside of the DS24 design is that the maximum signal levels handled are 7.6 volts peak to peak (~14.6 dBu). While 14.6 dBu is plenty enough snort for most power amplifiers, it is not the usual +22 to +28 dBu advertised by many other professional speaker processor manufacturers.
The DS24 includes most of the essential speaker processor elements needed to get the job done. These processing elements are: gain adjustment on the inputs and outputs; polarity flipping; pass and crossover filters for Bessel (12/18/24/48 dB), Butterworth (6/12/18/24/48 dB) and Linkwitz-Riley (24/48dB); parametric eqs; output delays; and a flexible limiter. A couple of limitations caught my eye in checking out the DS24. First was the 0 –7-millisecond output delay element in 0.5 millisecond increments. To me, this means there is about a six-inch distance correction for each increment of delay — quite a bit less resolution than I would like when phase matching the voice coil displacement in speaker cabinets. A better compromise would have been 0.1 millisecond increments (resolution), but over just a couple of milliseconds of range. Also, the DS24 could have enjoyed a much longer delay range, up to a second, for setting up delay speakers in a large venue scenario.
The second niggle I ran into
is the 31 ISO frequency choices on the encoder when setting up the
parametric filters. When jogging the encoder fast, I noticed better
resolution, but it was thwarted when the speed was reduced to home in
to an exact frequency. Here is an instance where a better feature could
have been designed for no extra recurring cost. Also, the encoder
detenting had in-between settings that concerned me. This may have been
a case of good design intent and cost cutting at production.
The Gigs
The important part of the BBE DS24 is its performance once set it up the way I want it. In both the shop critical listening and out at the clubs, the DS24 performed very nicely and compared well to much more expensive speaker processors. The metering was easy to read and useful, and the audio quality was clean and without noticeable artifacts.
weighing the technical issues and the outstanding aural performance, it
really depends on your sense of frugalness versus your technical
scruples. On the negative side, you are battling issues like dBV
scaling, encoder resolution, delay resolution and limited parametric
frequency settings. On the positive side, you are getting a ton more
flexibility than a standard analog crossover, with pristine audio added
in for a bargain price. I would offer the proposition that
cost-conscious sound engineers would jump at the BBE DS24 from the
value standpoint, while fussy and less frugal engineers would take a
pass to fuller-featured speaker processors.
What it is: Economy speaker processor.
Who it's for: Budget-minded soundco's needing solutions for bi-amping, tri-amping.
Pros: Nice looks, great price, quality audio processing.
Cons: Limited delay and parametric selections, encoder detenting.
How much: $429.00.

About three years ago, Namita Garg, (name changed) read an article on Breast self-examination. She examined her breasts and felt observable changes. When examined, it was found that she was at second stage of cancer. Detected at early stage, she was operated on time and is leading a healthy life now.
A few moments of self-examination before a mirror to figure out any obvious observable changes in the breasts saved Namitas life and can save many other lives too.
With the breast cancer awareness month drawing to a close, this is one mantra which Namita and doctors are underlining more than ever before.
Never ignore an early symptom of breast cancer, learn to recognise the symptoms and get regular health check up done, Namita said.
The purpose of awareness is that patient should come on time. As part of breast awareness code, one should know what is normal for you. What does your breast look like normally? If you find any changes then visit a doctor. If you are above 40 years then get screening done immediately, Dr Gurpreet Singh, professor, department of Surgery, PGI said.
In foreign counties, where screening is a national policy, breast cancer cases have declined by 25-30 per cent.
Second part of the code is that what changes we look for? We should look if there is any lump in the breast, nipple discharge, any change in the shape of the breast, any nipple cracking, enlargement of the breast, he added.
However, every symptom does not mean that you have cancer. It means that you have a change in your breast, run to the doctor. Please do not sit at home with symptoms. If you will sit at home with symptoms and wait until they start troubling you, it might be too late, Dr Gurpreet added.
The doctor added, In the initial stages, breast cancer does not cause any problem, it is asymptomatic. Fortunately, the life history of breast cancer is such that by the time it starts, to the time it becomes known to the patient. That is a long interval and during this interval we can pick it up and treat it.
Early breast cancer is curable in vast number of patients. As you let the disease advanced the chances of it cure decreases and treatment becomes more complicated.
Dr Singh said that though early diagnoses save lives, but unfortunately, at PGIMER, most of the patients come in late stages.

Asset Utilization
The Business Productivity Subcommittee on Asset Utilization looked at how UT Austin could better leverage its existing assets, such as selling excess power generated by its own power plant on the open market; incentivizing deans and department heads to conserve power; bringing UT's food, housing, and parking rates more in line with market values; and taking advantage of outsourcing or privatization opportunities. Following these recommendations could yield up to $290 million over ten years. The amount could dramatically increase as the culture of transformation takes root.
The Subcommittee on Asset Utilization's recommendations regarding asset utilization deal in areas that require varied expertise. Accordingly, to explore the recommendations, there will be four separate committees established as follows:
Conservation and Building Improvement Strategies
Production and Sale of Surplus Electricity
Food Services Strategies
Parking Strategies
The committees will be asked to make recommendations six months after being formed.

Call it divine irony that Lucifer - God's archangel turned archenemy—would become an inspiration for people to seek Jesus, find eternal life and walk in the light.
For The Prince of Darkness, such a thought is probably unthinkable. For London-born author Wendy Alec, it's plenty plausible.
In fact, she's praying that people will turn open-heartedly to Christ when they read The Fall of Lucifer, her "supernatural epic novel" about the devil's demise. It releases this month from Realms, the new fiction imprint of Strang Communications.
"My great hope is that as people read this book—who are backslidden, who don't even go to church, who just reject the church and God—that as they read it quietly by themselves in the dead of night, they can see God the Father … and open their hearts," she said during a respite from moving with her husband and two children into their new home in Virginia.
Her hope is credible. The Fall of Lucifer benefits from a narrative that permits Alec to reveal the unrelenting love of God while telling the painful story of His chief angel's tragic error—a failed coup against heaven that led to the universal curse of sin.
"I suddenly realized when I started this that this was not Lucifer's story I was writing. This was God's story," adds Alec, who speaks softly yet with conviction about her subject.
That she would tell God's story is not surprising, considering her "day job" with GodTV. She is the creative director and network controller of the international television network she co-founded with her husband, Rory, 10 years ago in Great Britain.
Today Alec heads up five 24-hour Christian channels that broadcast from Jerusalem to 275 million viewers. GodTV reaches homes not only in her native England but also across the rest of Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Australia—in all, it is watched in more than 212 countries.
Despite her background in broadcasting, Alec is no stranger to the written word.
As an adult, she studied screenplay writing after first being introduced to it in England while growing up. A screenwriting professor at UCLA who was a friend of her family's and visited them regularly coached her in the craft.
In addition to being a first-time novelist—writing Lucifer during weekends, evenings, and breaks from her work and family—Alec has taken on the weighty assignment of trying to part the veil of eternity to give us a glimpse of "Christos" and His Father, "Yehovah."
She reveals them as deeply grieved by the rebellion of Lucifer and his subsequent exile into hell with one-third of heaven's angels. Her tale takes the form of modern fantasy writing—there is heraldry, pageantry, swordplay and epic conflict—but in this case, she says, it all is blended with biblical fact.
"I did a lot of study into the theological and a lot of study on the angelic," Alec, barely 40, says. "It seems that the angelic structures are set up with principalities, dominions, archangels—and I tried to stay as biblical as I could. And the rest is like Troy, Gladiator, Lord of the Rings. It's what it felt like in that epic fantasy world."
She introduces readers to three angelic "brothers"—Lucifer, Michael and Gabriel—who share a great love and respect for one another. Lucifer is the unquestioned greatest of the three. His seat in heaven is second only to God's throne, and he considers himself as well to be one of the most beloved of all the angels.
Alec offers a broad view of the angelic "race" that some Christian readers might object to as being extra-biblical. Angels eat, sleep, dream, laugh, run, sweat, cry, suffer physical wounds, bleed, feel pain, display moods and have free will.
As their chief, Lucifer embodies in the richest dimension qualities of musician and artist and civil and military commander. He also displays an intellectual prowess exceeding that of his companions.
In heaven, he enjoys a boundless freedom across the vast eternal environs of Yehovah's world. His relationship with his Creator is flawless until the day he hears of Yehovah's plan to create "man"—a human and mortal "race" that will bear the Creator's "DNA." Yehovah, he learns, will dwell in them.
To Lucifer, this is a sign the angels are no longer the most prized beings in Yehovah's creation. Jealously—a strange new feeling—grips him.
He is progressively driven mad by his unresolved feelings of distrust and rejection. They fester into an unrestrained contempt of Yehovah that usurps all Lucifer's thoughts except for ones of rebellion and war.
With portentous imagery Alec describes his fall and the establishing of the demonic order in a sort of legal protectorate outside heaven, and the coronation there of Lucifer as the fully demented Satan.
Ages later, comfortable in dark towers from which he administrates the destruction of Yehovah's beloved humanity, Lucifer is finally shaken by news that a mysterious ancient oracle has been fulfilled—a baby has been born among the humans who carries the Creator's very nature.
Alec uses the desperate view of ex-angels gone crazy with a lust to destroy people as her backdrop for contrasting the brokenheartedness of Christos and His Father for their besieged creation.
"This is my prayer," Alec notes, "that this book will have such life in it, the supernatural life of God, that it's going to change people's lives—because it changed mine."
She says it has permanently altered her outlook on one of the most commonly quoted verses of the Bible—John 3:16. It states: "'For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life'" (NKJV).
"We say it so glibly," she notes. "But I can never look at that Scripture the same way again, because I knew after writing this book that the Father so loved us that He sent His only begotten Son."
It is exactly that impression of God's love being common, being for "whoever," that is spurring Alec to get her book into the hands of as many people as she can. Her intention is that the novel go first into pop culture, then beyond.
She already has a film deal in the works for Lucifer with a London-based group, Warboys Entertainment. The movie is expected to start preproduction next year before being shopped to Hollywood studios and released in 2008 or 2009. Two more films are planned to follow.
She has signed with another London-based company as well, Markosia Enterprises, to adapt Lucifer to a comic book and a graphic novel.
"These are people who have no church base and who have absolutely no conception of church," she says. "When I see that they get it and they love the story, that makes everything worthwhile.
"[Lucifer] is written for the believer," she adds, "but it's also written for people to give—if they have a husband who doesn't believe, let them read it. If their children are backslidden, let them read it. If they have unsaved friends or neighbors, pass it out to them."
That Lucifer would be headed for the screen means the story, in its original form, has come almost full circle. Alec began it as a screenplay seven years ago.
It was to be about the angelic brothers Michael, Gabriel and Lucifer. As she worked on the screenplay, however, she began to consider writing a "prophetic book" about why the world is gripped in an ongoing spiritual conflict.
The book, which she wrote in a year, began as a discourse between Lucifer and Michael. Writing it led her to what she describes as the edge of "seeing things that I didn't know if I had permission to write about."
"I felt that the Father Himself lifted a veil and gave me permission to write the story," she says. "It was a very serious thing for me."
Alec doesn't claim to have seen angels or visions of heaven while she wrote. But she does admit the story took on a life of its own. There were times, she says, when she felt impressed by God to write on a certain subject or theme.
One portion that she believes God inspired her to write was her first description of Yehovah's voice, which she says was "as that of a thousand waters … infinitely more beautiful than imagination had ever the capacity to conceive … authoritative, noble, and valiant, yet filled with grace and exquisite tenderness."
Alec has four other novels in the making that as a five-book series will chronicle the lives of the three angels until the final judgment of Lucifer by Yehovah. She considers the books, comic book, graphic novel and films to be a well-rounded effort at "prophetic, creative evangelism."
This type of evangelistic approach is not meant, necessarily, to be literary or otherwise artistic, but it ought to open the heart of the reader or viewer to God, Alec believes. She exemplifies this with an experience she had while writing Lucifer.
God showed her in prayer an ordinary house key. She believes He was saying about her book: "Wendy, I'm giving you the key for every man's heart"—meaning, in part, that certain creative works can have an appeal not limited by age or cultural identity. She notes J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, which is read, or now watched, by people of all ages.
She hopes to make the same mass connection with The Fall of Lucifer. "I felt that the Lord said to me: 'That's what creative evangelism is for. My people need to do the same.'
"God created the heart of man, so God knows how to touch every man," she says. "God is so creative. We should be leading creativity. So often we lag behind. But I believe we should be forerunners."

New Fiction Imprint Explores
New Realms in Christian Publishing
New Realms in Christian Publishing
Strang Communications will release four novels in the fall.
Strang Communications is preparing to carve out a new territory in Christian fiction with the creation of an imprint debuting this fall.
Realms fiction will present novels covering a variety of visionary subjects, including supernatural thrillers, fantasy adventure, time travel and alternative history, to both Christian and general markets. The first four titles in the line are to release in October.
"Our books take you to realms you've never been before," says Jeff Gerke, senior editor of Realms. "We believe we've identified a gap in Christian retailing. It's a type of fiction no other Christian publisher is concentrating on."
Gerke says the novels are more "fantastical" than much of today's Christian fiction, which is often limited to prairie romances, suspense and legal thrillers. "They've dipped their toe in it," he says of Christian publishers who have released visionary fiction. "We're leaping and waving our arms and saying, 'This is who we are.'"
The first release is Wendy Alec's The Fall of Lucifer, which deals with the story of Michael, Gabriel and Lucifer in the heavens and the jealousy that drove Satan to rebel and plunge the world into sin. Daughter of Prophecy by Miles Owens is a fantasy adventure in which a young woman receives a prophecy that she will save the kingdom, but demonic forces try to kill her before she can.
In Fallen From Babel by T.L. Higley, a modern-day unbeliever is transported to biblical Babylon where he is hunted by rivals and must discover how to get home. The Personifid Project by Ruth Bartlett is a futuristic story in which an artificial intelligence corporation achieves the technology needed to erase the ability to choose between good and evil.
Gerke says Realms' novels will focus on "the seen world and the unseen one—God at work and the forces of evil at work.'' He notes that all the books released through Realms "are clearly Christian," although they aren't written "to evangelize the way a tract would."
"They're all definitely Christian books," he says. "All of them have a Christian worldview and are Christian in some form," he added.
Strang Communications, which publishes Charisma magazine, plans to release eight more novels in 2006, four in the spring-summer season and four more in the fall.

RALEIGH (AP) � N.C. Gov. Pat McCrory says he won't carry out one bill the legislature enacted despite his veto until the program is better funded.
McCrory said on Wednesday he will order officials not to take any action to implement drug-testing for welfare recipients until lawmakers provide enough money for the program. The Senate overrode McCrory's veto of the bill earlier Wednesday.
The Senate also overrode McCrory's veto of a bill creating a wider exemption for employers to calculate whether they must participate in the E-Verify program. McCrory says he will look hard at that bill to ensure U.S. immigration laws are followed.
The governor also announced Wednesday he had found $10 million to make sure teachers currently getting master's degrees will get higher pay.

This review is from: HP Compaq Desktop PC Elite 8300 (D8C25UT#ABA) Intel Core i7 3770 (3.40 GHz) 4 GB DDR3 500 GB HDD Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit
Pros: Ease of operation and upgrading. You can lay this tower flat and put your monitor on top of it. Sets viewing screen at perfect height. There is a handle on side panel (actually where I have my screen sitting) to open for access to components. Major components, such as HD can be swung out of way to grant access to inner cards, RAM...just outstanding design. Ease of adding, modifying the guts *****!!! Another real work friendly feature is the numerous ports for plugging thumb drives and all manner of external components. Four in the front and about eight in the back! RAM as purchased skimpy...but adding more is a snap and cheap...bought mine (pair) from Micron and they plugged in with ease. (Including cover removal it was a two minute operation.) Finally three years warranty and service...with direct access to HP techs.....makes this fit perfect for a non-geek, business owner such as myself.
Cons: Can't think of any.

Chris Tucker Could Make His Comeback With The Silver Lining's Playbook And Neighborhood Watch
By Eric Eisenberg 2011-09-06 14:47:35 comments
Does Chris Tucker have an immensely successful side business that Im completely unaware of? Though hes been starring in movies since the early 90s, Tucker only has 11 films on his resume (the last one being 2007s Rush Hour 3) and only began doing stand-up comedy again this year. Whether hes a financial genius who turned millions into billions or simply knows how to live with the money hes made I dont know, but what I do know is that it looks like hes ready to make his way back to the big screen. Variety reports that Chris Tucker is now up for parts in both David O. Russells The Silver Linings Playbook and Akiva Schaffers Neighborhood Watch.
In the Russell film, Bradley Cooper stars as a teacher who has a mental breakdown and is sent to a mental hospital for four years. After getting out, he is sent to live with his mother and while trying to get his wife back meets a young neighbor (Jennifer Lawrence) who has some issues of her own. Should negotiations go through, Tucker will play a mental patient who grows to be friends with Cooper while on the inside. Once Cooper is released, Tuckers character occasionally breaks out so that he can visit him.
As for Neighborhood Watch, the movie is about a group of dads who form a fake committee so that they can have some time away from their wives. Their plan backfires, however, when they uncover a plot that could spell the end of the world. Though the report only says that Tucker is circling a key role, meaning he may not yet be in talks, he would play a divorcee who signs up to hang out with the other men. The project already stars Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn and Jonah Hill.
Tucker actually hasnt made a movie outside of the Rush Hour franchise since 1997s Jackie Brown, so it will be interesting to see him as a character other than Detective James Carter. I wonder if hell once again be used as the annoying loud-mouth or if the projects will actually allow him to try something new.

Automatic Brow Pencil Duo is great!
By B21Cross
from Kansas
This is a great brow pencil, goes on easy and does not look fake or heavy. I have greying blonde brows and it colors and fills in the sparse areas and not detectable up close or in photos. Just love that it does not irritate my sensitive eye area. Does not flake or crumble into eyes.

Brow Pencil Duo
By Floridagrandmommiex2
from Fort Lauderdale, FL
I love this eye brow pencil. Used to use cheaper drug store brands but the constant sharpening of the pencil shortened its life. These pencils last forever and they even have refills included in the purchase! I love that you can put the brush or the refills in the other end.....and its one of the few brands who carry a true blonde eyebrow pencil. Love it!

How To Get Into Startup Chile
This blog post is Part IV of a series written by Canadian Jennifer Turliuk about her experience at Start-Up Chile. Read Part I, Part II, and Part III.
With applications for the program coming due on April 3, a number of people have been emailing me to ask my advice on how to get into Startup Chile.
For those of you that don't know about it, Startup Chile is a program run by the Chilean government that gives you $40,000 in equity-free funding to go work on your startup in Chile for 6 months. I was lucky enough to be selected for it, and after two months into the program I truly consider it to be one of the best opportunities I've had in my life so far.
I would say that if you are considering ever applying to Startup Chile, you should apply for this round. The program has been said to be a three-year experiment and it's already about a year and a half in, so time is running out. And with each round, it gets more and more competitive to get in. Plus, if you apply for this round (start dates: June 27 or July 25), we'll get to be in the program at the same time! Don't worry about not having a cofounder or a web startup—I know many people that got in who applied as sole founders (including myself) with ideas ranging from non-profits to physical goods. Even if you don't think you will get in, you should apply anyway—as Wayne Gretzky said, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. And I would recommend starting to prepare your application right now, especially with regards to the letter of recommendation.
Pay attention to the judging criteria and show how you demonstrate excellence in each area. Applicants are being judged on the following 3 criteria:
1) Human Capital (weight: 33%): quality of the talent and commitment of the founding team members.
2) Project (weight: 34%, composite): Strategy, differentiation, and innovation factors of the product/service purported.
- Product/Service (weight: 17%)
- Market (weight: 17%)
3) Environment (weight: 33%): Value of the founding team's networks for the Chilean entrepreneurship ecosystem.
Here is my advice in line with each of these:
1) Human capital:
- Think of what makes you unique and convey it
- Get your name out there to the organizers (a few emails, tweets, twitcasts to them never hurt – but don't be annoying)
2) Project:
- It doesn't matter if you're not a consumer web facing startup – BUT they are looking for the next billion dollar company
- Ensure that your business has an international focus or will at some point (e.g. not just wine in Paris)
- Ideally show some history of past successful execution on your idea (or some iteration of it) – when I applied with Founder2Founder, I'd already run my first launchpad program with top Canadian CEOs and a fair amount of press, quit my job, and was looking to take it to the next level
3) Networks:
- Demonstrate how you are going to connect them to Chile and use them to help bolster Chile's economy
- Talk about what you will do while in Chile to help improve the entrepreneurial ecosystem (the mission of the program), ideally with regards to connecting your networks to Chile
You should focus on blowing them away on every aspect of the application. For the video and executive summary, demonstrate your excitement and consider using Guy Kawasaki's pitch format. For your letter of recommendation, they mention that it is critical to get the "best one possible" from a significant player in your industry that knows your educational background—I asked my university professors that were CEOs of major companies. Help your references by sending them all the relevant information regarding the program, requirements for the letter of recommendation, judging criteria, and how you meet the criteria (e.g. your bio, executive summary, and descriptions of your networks).
Most of all, have confidence: as I say in my career coaching, if you think with all your heart that you will get something, you will.
Good luck with your application and I hope to meet you here in Chile! For those that are interested in having a sure bet at being in the program or getting here earlier rather than later, my startup is hiring a UX designer – let us know if you or anyone you know might be interested by April 1st.

The New Delhi Municipal Councils plan to open high-end coffee shops in subways in and around Connaught Place found only one bidder. The Council had floated tenders and targeted big multinational coffee chains in a bid to make subways safe for pedestrians and appealing to coffee lovers.
However, the council did not get a response for its ambitious project and now it will float new tenders for all but two subways, where space will be allotted to Cafe Buddy. For those who have stopped taking subways due to the presence of beggars and drug addicts, NDMC floated proposals to start commercial activities in the subways.
The proposal, followed by tenders, came after Council officials expressed their inability to evict beggars and drug addicts from subways on Baba Kharak Singh Marg. The Council then proposed outsourcing these subways to high-end coffee shops. Officials believed that with commercial activity inside the subway, people would feel confident taking them.
The council had planned to relax norms for those interested in setting up coffee shops. The civic body had proposed that the coffee shops would be responsible for maintenance and security in the subways where they are allotted commercial space. However, the big multinationals did not show interest in the project.
The council had decided to provide space in the Janpath subway to Tihar for just Re 1 monthly rent, so that it could sell products in a commercial hub. But Tihar has not responded to the proposal yet. We thought (of charging them) Re 1 as rent because we would be engaging in community service. We are yet to hear from Tihar on this, NDMC secretary Vikas Anand said.

Two suspects arrested in a Missoula home break-in last week are each being held on $50,000 bail.
Michael Dean Hummel and Scott Michael Todd face felony charges for allegedly breaking into a woman's home on North Avenue last Thursday.
Prosecutors say Hummel went into a woman's bedroom, hit her with a stick several times and took prescription drugs and cash. Court documents say Todd helped plan the robbery, and was also in the room.
Both appeared in Missoula County Justice Court Monday.
A third suspect, Leanne Rae Hoff, was arrested for allegedly driving the getaway car. She was booked and released from jail and scheduled to appear in court Monday, but didn't show. Judge John Odlin set a $50,000 bench warrant for Hoff's failure to appear.

Following talks with European sources in attempt to reach compromise, diplomatic sources tell Ynet Israel, EU reach compromise regarding Horizon 2020. Agreement to be signed formally
Attila Somfalvi
Published: 11.26.13, 20:01 / Israel News
Attila Somfalvi
Diplomatic sources told Ynet that Israel and the EU have reached understandings according to which Israel could be part of Horizon 2020, a seven-year, Europe-wide research grant program that starts in 2014, with an estimated budget of 80 billion euros ($107 billion).
According to understandings reached by the EU and Israel, the agreement would include a clause stating that any entity working beyond the green line be able to apply for loans. Israel will clarify its objection to the outline of the settlements ban.
Related stories:
Earlier Tuesday, direct diplomacy began between ministers Tzipi Livni
and Naftali Bennett and the European representatives, with the hope of saving the agreement and allowing Israel to join the program.
Israeli participation in the Horizon 2020 had been jeopardized by new EU guidelines
unveiled in July effectively barring EU money from being allotted to Israeli research institutes and other entities with operations in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
had said the restrictions were unacceptable. But with the deadline for signing onto the lucrative Horizon 2020 science program less than a week away, the two sides managed to overcome their differences.
A minister involved in the details of the agreement with the EU said "the agreement achieved in the negotiations is much better than the initial one and it should have been signed.
"After all, we preserved the right to back out of the deal at any moment."
According to a diplomatic source, this is a plan of which Israel is the top beneficiary. We can't not be there."
The winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Professor Dan Shechtman, said in an interview with Ynet on Tuesday that "our partnership with the European Union in the present and the future is vital to the sciences in Israel,
and we cannot stress its importance enough."
Shechtman is one of the more audible voices supporting the scientific endeavor: "We are part of the European community and we communicate with scientists from all European states. Additionally, there is the economic aspect. Israel invests one billion euro and receives one and a half billion euro. Any businessman offered this deal would jump on the catch."

As of this writing, I've had the mustang for a few thousand miles and the car is still pretty stock. So that begs the question, is the car actually fun to drive or is it strictly a numbers car? This installment will review what it's like for a German car fan to own something so strongly American.
My natural automotive proclivity is towards a balanced driving experience over something
So after about 3-4 days of looking and thinking, I decided that the mustang GT was my car. I started going to all the Ford dealers I could find in my area to try and purchase a base model car with the BBK. Well, there were none in my area. All the BBK cars I had access to were premium package cars that were just more than I wanted to spend. I mean, in a 3 state radius, there wasn't a car available that fit my requirements. So I ordered the car directly from the factory.

I often hear the term "dark side" when someone who is an enthusiastic owner of a car or brand suddenly changes teams and buys something from another brand. In the VW world, I have often heard this term used in reference to someone who buys something Asian. I think for most rational VW people, Asian cars are an object of respect, but not something to desire, in other words, not something that one can develop an emotional relationship with. And domestic cars? Meh, those are ok, but for

I'm looking to do some simple overnight camping trips this summer. I don't have time to do anything extended, so I'm only talking one, or two, nights at the most. I could just pack up my Xtracycle with almost everything I own, but would like to go a bit lighter, and faster, with my Giant TCX cyclocross bike.
I've read through many of the threads on here about people using all manner of bikes for touring, but I'm wondering if the wheels on my bike can handle a light load? They are cross wheels, is I would think that they would be stronger than standard road wheels, but am not 100% sure of this. The light spoke count has me a bit skeptical.
I have a rack on the back and can fit a small(ish) set of front panniers on the rack without any heel-strike- so that's not an issue. I also have some light backpacking gear that will work without weighing things down too much- but still more than a bare bike.
My other question comes to gearing. Right now I have an FSA compact double on the front (34/50) and am wondering if there's any way to drop the 34 inner ring down to anything smaller. I could always put a triple on, but if I was going to go that far I would probably use the xtra- or look into a LHT. The idea is to do some simple trips with gear I already own and not have to modify anything too greatly. I already have 28mm slicks for the road, but could go wider if needed.
Here's the spec's on the bike: http://www2.giant-bicycles.com/en-US...llections_id=3

Gary Stoller and John Bacon, USA TODAY
NEWTOWN, Conn. - Hundreds of rounds of ammunition, guns, knives and three samurai swords were among the items seized from the home of shooter Adam Lanza in the days after the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, search warrants released Thursday revealed.
The documents, and a statement issued by authorities, provide details surrounding the events of Dec. 14 in this scenic town about 70 miles northeast of Manhattan.
Danbury State's Attorney Stephen Sedensky said in a statement that Lanza killed 20 students, six adults and himself at the school in under five minutes. All were killed with a Bushmaster .223-caliber rifle except for Lanza, 20, who took his own life with a Glock 10mm handgun.
The Bushmaster was loaded with a 30-round magazine, and 14 rounds remained in the magazine when the Bushmaster was recovered by police, Sedensky said. There was one round in the chamber. He said Lanza had another loaded handgun with him inside the school as well as three, 30-round magazines for the Bushmaster.
As police entered the school, "numerous school children and school personnel were located deceased from apparent gunshot wounds in the first three classrooms" off the main hallway, adjacent to the school's front entrance," a search warrant states.
Lanza's body was found dressed in military garb and a bulletproof vest in a classroom.
Shortly before the bloodbath at the school, Lanza had shot his mother, Nancy, with a .22-caliber rifle as she slept in the home they shared. Sedensky said there was "no indication of a struggle" in that shooting.
The guns Lanza used were apparently purchased by Nancy Lanza, he said. Despite press reports that Adam Lanza had tried to buy at least one gun before the rampage, there is no indication that he attempted a purchase and was denied, Sedensky said.
The four warrants released Thursday involve searches at the Lanza home on Yogananda Street and in the black Honda Civic that he drove to the school on Dec. 14. Results of the warrants were sealed for 90 days in late December.
Sedensky asked Judge John Blawie to seal certain information, including the identity of a witness and some undisclosed items obtained during the searches, for another 90 days.
The warrants say that a loaded 12-gauge shotgun and additional ammunition was found in Lanza's Honda Civic.
At the house, authorities found hundreds of rounds of ammunition and numerous knives, including samurai swords. They found a military-style uniform in Lanza's bedroom and handwritten notes containing the addresses of local gun shops.
Investigators also found books about autism and Asperger's syndrome as well as a National Rifle Association guide to pistol shooting.
In a bedroom closet, police found a Bushmaster XM15 and C15 instruction manual, Glock handgun, shotgun and rifle manuals, more than 200 rounds of ammunition, two 20-round ammunition magazines, spent Glock shell casings, a nylon holster and a metal bayonet.
The documents indicate authorities found a gun safe with shotgun shells and numerous boxes of bullets.
In a top drawer of a filing cabinet, police found paper targets. In a duffel bag, they found ear and eye protection, binoculars, numerous paper targets and an NRA certificate for Adam Lanza.
An NRA certificate in the name of Nancy Lanza also was found, the warrants reveal. The NRA issued a statement Thursday saying: "There is no record of a member relationship between Newtown killer Adam Lanza, nor between Nancy Lanza, A. Lanza or N. Lanza with the National Rifle Association."
Among other items found in the Lanza home were a Feb. 18, 2008, New York Times article about a school shooting at Northern Illinois University; a holiday card written by Nancy Lanza, containing a check made out to Adam Lanza for the purchase of a firearm; and a book entitled Train Your Brain to Get Happy -- with pages tabbed off.
Mark Barden, whose 7-year-old son, Daniel, was killed at Sandy Hook, said he was not surprised by the details released Thursday.
"Most of this is pretty high-level stuff that we were aware of already," he said. "It just reminds me of what happened, that a gunman stormed his way into an elementary school and shot to death 26 people, 20 of which were first-grade boys and girls."
Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy, who has been pushing for much stricter gun-control laws, said the facts in the search warrants "only add starker detail to what we already know."
"This is exactly why we need to ban high-capacity magazines and why we need to tighten our assault weapons ban," Malloy said. "I don't know what more we can need to know before we take decisive action to prevent gun violence. The time to act is now."
For all the weaponry and gear found in the home, psychologist Ross Greene, an associate clinical professor in psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, said it might not be fair to put too much blame on Nancy Lanza.
"It's easy to make general statements about a parent's responsibility to know what's going on in their own home," Greene said. "It's hard to imagine that she was anticipating he would use the weapons on her and take her life and the lives of 26 other people, including 20 children."
Greene said he presumes that Nancy Lanza did the best she could to get her son the help he needed.
"I've read in the news media that Adam spent mammoth amounts of time in the basement playing violent video games. It's easy to say his mother should have done something about that," Greene said. "We don't know if she tried to do it. The picture is always far more complicated than simply saying the parents shoulda, coulda, woulda."

Working Moms (warning - long post)
Re: Working Moms (warning - long post)
posted at 3/2/2011 12:01 PM ESTOh Poppy feel for you. I went through the same thing a while back. My parent's were watching DS twice a week and then I had a nanny watching him 3 times a week. I definitely went through the jealous stage with the my nanny who I felt got to see him just as much as I did during the week but that eventually passed. I realized that I was lucky to have such a wonderful woman watching him when couldn't and there was just one more person that loved DS. I think the jealousy phase will eventually pass for you. You just have to give it time.
As for your friends - not sure what they were thinking (apparently they really weren't) when they were emailing back and forth. I would just say that a lot of people think the grass is always greener on the other side. I have a number of stay at home friends who have told me numerous times that they wish to be working again. I know that I couldn't stay at home but I feel like there is always a struggle for every mom to find the right balance of home/kids and career or whatever makes you feel complete.
Good luck and know that you are definitely not alone.
Re: Working Moms (warning - long post)
posted at 3/2/2011 12:07 PM ESTEva--my MIL is constantly posting photos of my kids on her FB "wall" though she's never posted them as her profile pic (that would irritate me, too). She even posted a pic of our kitchen with a comment about how she misses cooking in it (she lives in CO, and completely takes over the cooking etc. when she visits--and not in a good way). All of this was weird, but I just rolled my eyes and got on with my day. THEN, one day I was venting to a friend about how stupid it was that this annoys me, the friend told me that my MIL's FB page had NO security settings on it and that anyone could see it. I was on the phone to DH immediately. He was also blindsided by this info and also freaked out about it and called his mother immediately to walk her through the security settings on FB. She was shocked about all of this, and to her credit, she recognized why this was a problem and immediately took down all the pics she had posted even though it was overkill once the security settings were adjusted per DH's instructions (phew...run-on sentence, anyone?). She still posts pics on occasion, but I can tell she's much more selective now.
So...just something you might want to check into if relatives are sharing your personal info or posting links to your photo websites, etc.
Re: Working Moms (warning - long post)
posted at 3/2/2011 12:30 PM ESTThese postings have given me such comfort! Yesterday was my first day back to work and when I picked DD up from in home day care I was almost dissapointed that my 3 month old didn't smile at the sight of me. (Wishful thinking...) I spent the next 3 hours holding her while she slept and crying because I didn't want to be away from her. All these postings have given me much needed perspective as I didn't realize why I had gotten so resentful of my husband and his work schedule or the fact that he had time to go to the gym and hang with his co-workers while I was "stuck" at home with DD. As someone else mentioned, yesterday I didn't even notice he wasn't home because I was so wrapped up in soaking in precious moments with DD. I feel a weight lifted by realizing that going to work is the best thing for my family. Thank you Poppy for posting this and to all others for sharing loads of valuable insight!
Re: Working Moms (warning - long post)
posted at 3/2/2011 12:39 PM ESTHi Poppy,
I don't have any children yet myself, but I wanted to chime in as the daughter of a working mom.
My mother is one of the most successful, accomplished, beautiful, graceful, and wonderful women in the world. Both my sister and myself look up to her in awe, and I know part of this was because she was able to work through our childhoods. Yes, I look at it as a benefit - she was able to learn and achieve, thus feel better about herself, which helped to make her the best mom possible to us.
Did she stay home with us when we were sick? Not always. Did she miss sporting events? Sometimes. Did she have days where she missed dinner, and had to get out early before breakfast the next morning? Yes. (Thanks to my dad for all of his help too).
But, was she there for my high school graduation? Absolutely. My sister's? Yes she was. How about both of our bachelor degrees? She was there for those graduations too, as well as the ups and downs of living away from home in college. My mom could be heard helping us cope with whatever, even if over the phone after we were done with our classes, and her work - late at night, but she could always be counted on. Oh yes, and now we both have masters degrees too, and she was also there for us every step of the way.
My point is, we were no worse for the wear. We are both successful and driven women, thanks to her help. And just because she had certain schedules, didn't mean we didn't get the time and love we needed. It was just more planned, more of a routine.
What I remember most about her working during our childhoods was when I got to see her; on weekends, during vacations (they always seemed magical, we looked forward to the whole family being together for 8 or 16 days straight!), and those special moments after long days away from each other.
I loved then and love now my mother SO much for everything she is. When I have management questions today, I ask my mom, because she knows, she has experience. When I need help working on how to discuss a situation, write an email, update a resume, or be the interviewer for a position, I ask my mom.
Can a stay at home mom do this any better (or worse)? Not necessarily, she'll just do it differently.
Finally, when I need a recipe for a really easy to prepare, and fast but delicious and healthy meal because I have been at work for a long busy day, or week, and want to make at least a little something nice for my fiance and myself for dinner...I ask my mom.

Like Lost Grouse, I eagerly look forward to Cleaning Lady Day, a biweekly holiday in the GC household. As I explained to DH, she's a lot cheaper than marital counseling. ;) Mostly kidding.
I have more to add, but am juggling about a gazillion things today, realize we're out of diapers (yay) and I have to pick-up at daycare and juggle a conference call. So, it's Wednesday. But I do want to say, I'm super-encouraged that we're on Page Three and the posts are all respectful and helpful. Although BDC linked to this thread on the main Moms page, so I'm looking forward to a crush of trolls. But it's been fun, reassuring and helpful while it lasted.
Re: Working Moms (warning - long post)
posted at 3/2/2011 2:11 PM ESTI don't know if you've sent your email yet, but just a word to the wise, anyone not happy for me for leaving my career to be a SAHW didn't change their minds after I answered their sarcastic, "What's the POINT if you don't have KIDS??" with a litany of reasons we chose that for our household. After awhile I learned to shrug it off and not bother explaining myself. Whatever you do, do NOT expect them to respond, "Oh, you're right, we weren't respecting your choice, but we will, now. Thank you for opening our eyes to our insensitivity. Can you possibly forgive us?" They won't. Chances are they'll get defensive, you'll get more defensive, and the friendships will bear the burden of awkwardness.

Yeah, that's what my MIL was doing, too. We gutted our kitchen shortly after we moved in and DH had put some before and after shots in his FB photos...and then, like over a year later, MIL posted one of them with the missing cooking in it comment. And I think 90% of the pics of the kids she posts are re-posts from DH's albums.
Putting YOUR child's photo as her profile pic is one thing (a "w t f?" thing to be sure), and I'd be irritated with it, but that wouldn't bother me in a privacy and security kind of way. My MIL's entire profile was public to anyone in the world who happened to come across it. She was posting pics of our house--inside and out, some of which had the street number visible, our kids, many references to Boston and occasional references to the town we live in, etc. and that was not ok with us. Since DH talked to her and helped her change the settings, she's been much better about it. Only her "friends" can see her profile now and although I don't know all of them, I feel much more comfortable that now it's limited to 100 or so people--most of whom are family--seeing it. I think if your family/in-laws are posting pics of your kids for the entire world to see, you have a right to say something. And if they refuse to change the behavior, you can unfriend them, and too bad if they don't like it. I'm not an overly-paranoid person, but I was really freaked out about the amount of MY personal info my MIL was putting out there.

When I went back to work after my 2.5 y/o was born, DD did 2 days a week with Pa (my dad) and 3 days a week with my in-laws. I struggled with jealous for quite a while even over super silly things like my in laws giving her a popsicle before I did (can you tell I'm still a little bitter over the popsicle thing :-). But I kept reminding myself that if DD had to be with someone else (which she does), it was better that she was with someone who loved her as much as I do.
It has gotten easier and when I was pregnant with my twins last summer I was so thankful that DD had so many people in her life who wanted to do things like take her to the park or go to the zoo (which I don't recommend trying 6 month pregnant with twins. in June). There have been the occasional minor issues over handling things my way but once I've firmly told them what I want to happen, my MIL does what I've told her.
I also know myself enough to know that I do not want to be a SAHM (props to those who do/are). I do not have the patience for it and my kids would not love me more if I was home all the time with them. My DD has NEVER been confused by who were her parent/in charge even though we spend a lot of time around my in laws. I get running hugs for DD (most of the time) and big smiles from DS and DD at drop-off at night. So they may not miss me during the day (and I wouldn't want them to be pining for me) but they are happy to see me at night.

posted at 3/2/2011 5:40 PM ESTI've mainly skimmed these posts (rough day at work, ha) and here's my comment to add to the fray.
The one thing that really helped ease that desperate pain of being without my little baby while I was at work was the fact that we bed shared/co-slept. I got to spend the entire night snuggling next to him and it made up for a lot.

It's the opposite for me -- my daughter clings to me in the morning and says, "No work mommy. I MISSED you." But when I come to pick her up after work she runs screaming from me and says she wants to stay at her sitter's house. Sigh.

Re: Working Moms (warning - long post)
posted at 3/3/2011 8:33 AM ESTWhat exactly does a bi-weekly cleaning lady accomplish? I ask this in all seriousness because I might consider hiring one if there's a point to it. But I worry that we'd need a live-in cleaning lady to really make a dent, since the maker of messes is on call every day.
Re: Working Moms (warning - long post)
posted at 3/3/2011 8:53 AM ESTI haven't had a chance to read all the posts or make any comments except this: I couldn't agree more about hiring a cleaning person.
Lemon, to answer your question, here are the things I no longer do: vacuum, dust, clean the shower or toilet (well sometimes this needs to be done before the next visit), mop floors. Granted, maybe these things should be done more than once every other week but I have to pick my battles. I can't do it all. On the weekends I no longer worry about cleaning. I do still have to do laundry and dishes and generally keep the house picked up but I really feel like I have more time to spend with DS and DH and our dogs. 2 cleaning people for 2 hours every other week costs us $100 and I can honestly say it is some of the best money I've ever spent. HTH.
Re: Working Moms (warning - long post)
posted at 3/3/2011 9:27 AM ESTJacon - I am going to have my husband read your post. We usually have a pretty clean house - mostly because it is fairly empty but I just can't get to the baseboards, mopping, shower as much as I would like to . He keeps saying that he is going to pick up the slack - can't say that I see that happening. $100 every two weeks sounds like a bargain!
Re: Working Moms (warning - long post)
posted at 3/3/2011 9:28 AM ESTOh and Lemon - I saw your pix. Adorable. How much would she charge every 2 weeks? Does she do windows?
Re: Working Moms (warning - long post)
posted at 3/3/2011 9:38 AM ESTLuck, My DH is very helpful (when given direction) but he didn't want to be cleaning either. I think the big selling point for him was that he saw how stressed out I was when the house was dirty and we had to "waste" x number of weekend hours cleaning. And when I'm stressed that ends up trickling down to him. In our house the equation is clean house = happy mommy = happy everyone else.
Re: Working Moms (warning - long post)
posted at 3/3/2011 10:41 AM ESTOne of my very dearest friends is no longer that because she chose to judge me for going back to work after DS was born. I had a hard time getting pregnant and she could not fathom why I would go back to work after he was born since I had waited so long for him. Nothing I said could satisfy her, so while we're still friends, we're not close any more.
I went back to work because I am better mom for it. Truly. It makes me appreciate every single minute I spend with DS - even the godawful tantrums he's been throwing as we begin the descent into the terrible twos. I also needed my job for financial reasons, but I went back to work because I knew being with him 24/7 would end up with both of us frazzled and neurotic (well, me more so than usual).
I loved the time I had on my maternity leave, but I noticed as the weeks went on that as it crept closer to six (DH's arrival time home) I would become increasingly antsier. If he called to tell me he was late, I would have a complete breakdown into hysterics. I realize I'm breaking no new ground here, but it's so nice to know I wasn't the only person who felt this way.
My mom took care of DS a couple days a week until we could get him full time into daycare and I'm grateful for that because they have a wonderful relationship (even if I was a little jealous of all that time they had together, and even if I did sometimes feel like she was biting her tongue so she wouldn't tell me what I was doing "wrong" with her grandson). He goes full time to a center that's wonderful and has done AMAZING things with him that I don't think I could have.
I think it sucks the way some moms get down on other moms - whether it's about formula or going back to work or organic foods or even carseat choices. We're hard enough on ourselves; we don't need other people to pile it up.
Re: Working Moms (warning - long post)
posted at 3/3/2011 11:11 AM ESTI know quite a few mothers who happen to be engineers, some part time, some full time. They all love their kids, and I'm fairly sure that the ones I know could swing staying home financially speaking, but I remember 3 of them saying that they work to get away from the home and if they didn't they'd end up resentful very quickly of being "stuck" at home all day, every day. They get a lot of personal life satisfaction by continuing to use their educations, bringing in money, and feeling useful by someone who pays them for their non-mothering talents.
How anyone can say they are wrong for that, I don't know.
Re: Working Moms (warning - long post)
posted at 3/3/2011 11:45 AM ESTI'm a full time working engineer and a full time mom and it can be done! I love this post and value all you also, sometimes just knowing you're not alone in something makes it much better!
I just wanted to comment on the MIL-FB stuff... my IL's are not even net-enabled, so it's not an issue, but my parents are online all the time... if it was your own parents posting/reporting the stuff would it be the same issue? Now, I had harsh words with my dad early in his facebook days for posting too many details (really Dad, a photo of the invite to DD's christening, including, time, date, address, phone number...!) and he's much better now, so I get the issue with too many identifying details, but what is the harm in MIL loving your kitchen (which is how I interperted why she posted it... she likes your reno and/or being at your house, cooking) Just an alternative perspective.
I also don't have anyone "claiming" my kids on the web, but I get how that would be annoying
Re: Working Moms (warning - long post)
posted at 3/3/2011 12:12 PM ESTcanuk, I appreciate your perspective on the FB stuff. I totally get not wanting to put any really identifying details on FB (yikes...the whole invitation?). But, my brother routinely has pictures of DS as his profile pic and has a little shrine to DS in his office (in NYC). (Seriously, we stopped by his office on a road trip and my brother couldn't wait to get to the lobby and whisk DS off to the office to be able to show him off to all his friends.) DH and I both love that he's so attached and so smitten with his nephew. I guess I understand the idea that DS is definitely "our" son, but we also feel strongly that he "belongs" to everyone in the family...he's my brother's only nephew, my father's only grandson, the apple of his cousins' eyes in New Zealand who post pics of him on their FB profile because they are sad they haven't had the chance yet to meet him in person. Anyway, this is my long-winded way of saying maybe it's healthy to look at the FB stuff as a expression of real love and affection (maybe overzealous, at times?) That's how DH and I try to view it, at least.
Re: Working Moms (warning - long post)
posted at 3/3/2011 12:16 PM ESTIn Response to Working Moms (warning - long post):I'm having sort of a tough time, and not even sure if I'm looking for advice, or just to vent. I've been back at work for about a month and while I enjoy my job, I just feel sad about the amount of time per week I am not with DD (she's 4 months). I have it VERY lucky in that my mom and my MIL (mostly my MIL) take care of DD while I am at work, so we're not doing daycare right now. However, as much as I hate to confess to this, I have a lot of jealousy toward MIL that she gets to spend so much time with DD. I even cringe when she calls her "my girl". I know that probably sounds horrible but there it is. Then there are my friends. All of my close girlfriends have kids, and some of them even have infants. Recently, one of them with an infant decided to resign from her job (so I'm now the only working mom of an infant). This has resulted in many group emails going back and forth about how money is not so important that you should let it take you away from raising your child, how motherhood is a full-time job in and of itself, how you cannot raise your child right while working full time, etc., etc. These are independent, intelligent, once-career-driven women and I have to say I was very surprised to read these things coming from them. I am feeling extremely hurt but don't want to respond right now because of the way I'm feeling. I don't want to alienate my closest friends, but at the same time I'm starting to feel rather alone considering my different circumstances. For any of you who are dealing/have dealt with this (specifically when your child is/was an infant), what are/were your strategies for dealing with your feelings about it (if you weren't thrilled about it) and also perhaps dealing with how to relate to others, especially close friends, who might have the above opinions? I guess I'm looking for some solidarity here from those of you who can understand what I've written above. (And ok I guess I am partially looking for advice also…) Also, if anyone knows of any working moms groups in the Somerville/Cambridge/Medford/Melrose area, I would love the info. Thanks.

Its very easy for someone who has more than enough money to say that it's not that important and you can't raise your child right while working. The simple reality is that money IS imporant if you want to keep a roof over your child's head and prepare financially for thier future. There are very few people out there (I think your group is an exception) who can afford to have children and have mom stay at home these days. Of course, I would think that most mothers would prefer to be at home to raise their children, myself included, but its not realistic for many families. Your friends should worry about alienating YOU, not the other way around. You are very lucky to have you MIL and Mom to help at home and you should trust that this is a fortunate arrangement for your daughter - she'll develop great relationships with both ladies and that's something not every child gets a change to do! Sidebar: I totally HATE it when my MIL calls my son "Nana's Boy". He's MY boy lady!!! Anyhow, know that you're not alone - there are many working mamas out there all going through the same thing. And there's this: you're teaching your daughter that having a work ethic is important and you're setting a good example for her in your absence. I've been back to work for 3 months now and though I miss my son as much today as I did on day 1, it's getting a little easier to leave. You just get used to the routine I guess. Also, your previously career-driven friends saying what they have been about working moms also may be a coping mechanism for dealing with them missing the working world. Just a thought....
Re: Working Moms (warning - long post)
posted at 3/3/2011 2:06 PM ESTCanuk--eek! about the invitation. I think the lack of discretion in posting certain info on places like FB is something that lots of people in our parents' generation go through.
My MIL also once posted something on my FB wall about how her IBS had flared up over the weekend and she spent most of the time running to the bathroom. Uh, yeah...I and all of my "friends" wanted to know about that.... Since my DH spoke with MIL about the privacy settings on FB (and the issue was more that she didn't have any privacy settings set up on her acct. than the actual posting of pictures), she's been a lot better. She still posts pics of the kids and that doesn't bother me as much now that I know the people who are seeing them is somewhat controlled. She's also stopped posting as many of our personal details, which I suspect DH talked to her about as well (he called her from work, so I wasn't able to eavesdrop). The kitchen pic thing I just thought was weird regardless of her motivation. If she likes cooking in our kitchen, great...can't she just say that w/o posting a pic for the entire world to see? Part of it is that I'm a somewhat private person, so her posting pics of our house from DH's albums just feels really intrusive to me. And then underneath it all is that she gets on my nerves very easily. I'm very introverted, quiet, and like my personal space. She is very extroverted, never stops talking (seriously--I'm not exaggerating--DH and BIL have to yell at her to stop talking in order to get a word in edgewise) and is constantly invading my personal space and asking intrusive questions. So...the pic wasn't a big deal in and of itself, it was all the underlying things that go along with it on top of posting the pic.
Re: Working Moms (warning - long post)
posted at 3/3/2011 3:46 PM ESTDaisy, makes total sense... I actually figured there may be a little more to the MIL issue than just the pictures :) Regardless, glad things seem to be more or less ok, at least with regard to FB
Another, more general thing I was thinking about was that even if you don't get along great with your parents or in-laws, what a blessing it is to have them at least somewhat nearby. My in-laws are 6 hours away, my parents are 14 hours away... both DH and I grew up seeing our grandparents, on both sides, at least weekly (Him even more than that) and it makes me sad to think that my kids are never going to know either of our parents in that way... sure we do video calls with my parents, but it's not the same as a hug and sneaking them a treat...
I ABSOLUTELY don't advocate for sneaking the kids treats if they are regular caretakers, but I let my mom and mil spoil the kids a little since they don't see them often - both g'mas have actually been pretty respectful about it (maybe as a result? I dunno, the time together is too short) Though I shudder to think what would happen if either of them were caretakers for us... my mom more than my mil actually... when DD was about 2.5 they told me about the butterscotch Sundae they "gave" her (I think in reality shared with her) when they watched her my second week back to work... I was furious, but what could I do, it was 2+ years furious, and thankfully she didn't have any nut allergies...
Hmm maybe not helping her, but I guess I just wish we had grandparents nearby

While the social network that prides itself on instant updates was always guarded about updating its numbers, Twitter now claims 100 million active users--tweeting, following, and reading content on the network. Tech Crunch (whose own AOL future post-Michael Arrington is in some turmoil) reported that Twitter is looking to increase the presence of "promoted tweets."
Thus Business Insider declared: "What this all works out to: Twitter wants to be (and will be) the next big media company."
GigaOM echoed this, writing that Twitter should stop attempting to be a social network and embrace it's media potential:
The fact is that Twitter isn't really competing with Facebook -- it's not really a social network, but a real-time information network. In other words, it's a media entity, and the sooner it starts living up to that reality, the better.
-Google has purchased Zagat, the high-profile review service, which Yahoo considers to be more evidence that Google wants to be a content company. By purchasing the credible and beloved review platform, Google purchased trusted reviews to pair with its user-generated content of local culture.

Income Inequality in Canada is Even Worse Than We Thought, According to This Report
Because many of Canada's wealthiest people are funnelling income through private companies not included in standard measures of individual earnings, income equality in our nation may be substantially worse than most currently believe, according to a new report.
Canada's top 1% of income earners actually took home an average of $500,200 in 2011, 39% more than the $359,000 figure calculated with traditional data, reports The Globe and Mail. The difference for the top 0.1% is 55%, and the difference for the top 0.01% is 71%.
The study, "Piercing the Veil," was was authored by Dr. Michael Wolfson of the University of Ottawa, Mike Veall of McMaster University, and Neil Brooks of York University.

Whether of Mexican, Cuban, South American or Caribbean heritage, America's destiny is forever linked to its recognition and understanding of its diverse Latino citizens. Gone forever are the days of painting Latinos as a monolithic or insignificant community. In many respects, as the Latino community goes, so goes America.

Hosted in partnership with the William C. Velásquez Institute, "Latino Nation: Beyond The Numbers" panelists examined a full range of Latino influence on American life, from the economy to politics, healthcare to education, immigration to foreign policy, as well as solutions for economic growth in this vital community.
They also challenged stereotypes that plague the 14 million Latino voters, whose ranks grow by approximately 20% every four years.

Ontario Girlyep,born and bred and proud to be a canadian,i married a guy from barbados,had 3 kids and 6 grandchildren,married 45 yrs,this aug,to a cheater---found out last year------living a double life with me and her for 13 years,,,,,,nice guy -----(color him gone)
Sorry to hear that! but not all men are like that.
Oh wow! I'm really glad you liked my story. That happened exactly 2 years ago actually. Its just the way I am, especially being a woman. I have very little respect or attraction to men who cheat..they disgust me! A wife's /women's feelings matters to me, because I could be her at any time in life. I wish I could meet more men like them and make them feel like **** when they go cheating . We all woman have to look for out for one another
OMG! As Sharon Stone said: women may fake o r g a s m but men fake whole relationships...
Put the next one in diapers they don't have those ideas when they don't have them manly undies on, Yes dear i was cheated on, Yes it made me crazy, yet it heals after time, and now i am on to a much more rewarding relationship and life is so much better now, Good luck in the future, Jane
oh wow sorry to hear..nothing like being blindsided..
