This one comes from Ranger fan Chris who spotted "Captain Kikass" during the western conference finals this year. Why Captain kikass? Because he even put the C on the front!
This jersey foul comes to us from reader @captain9nyr who wonders if there was a wedding between Brandon Dubinsky and Marc Staal that nobody told us about. And why did they keep Staal's number 18? Perhaps it lends insight into who would be the man in the relationship. Sorry Brandon.
I'm staying in Toronto this week for work so I couldn't avoid watching the Maple Leafs mathematically eliminate themselves from the playoffs. As luck would have it, a reader named Michael actually went to the game and managed to snap this shot for us. He included the following comment:
After missing the playoffs for the 7th straight season maybe he can get it changed to "MR. ELIMINATION"… I'm sure that one won't go out of style anytime soon
Still haven't decided if Jeremy Lin is the real thing or if Linsanity is just a fad? No problem, we've got the perfect jersey for those unwilling to commit (or just too cheap to get a proper jersey)
This probably isn't the best thing to wear when trying to adopt a puppy.
Today's Jersey Foul comes to us from reader Derrick. I'll let him explain it in his own words:
Found these two idiots at the NY Giants game a few weeks ago. They were way too excited about being at the game in general (clearly had not gone to a NFL game previously), but the best part was their "matching" jerseys, with two first names on the back of their jersey – one of them no longer on the team ("Olindo"). Funny enough, "Sage" was back on the team for the game because of the injury to Chad Henne, but only because he had gotten picked up days before. Of course, he was then placed on the non-football-injury list before the game, so that's even more hilarious. The guy in the pic definitely bought the jersey years ago . . .
Oh, and they were so proud of their jerseys, that they were excited for me to take their pictures from the back. Classic.
Football season is back in full swing, and with that comes the influx of stupid jerseys. It's one thing to own a terrible jersey foul, it's another thing to have a jersey foul custom made, but it's even worse to try and pawn off your foul on somebody else.
Today's jersey foul comes courtesy of eBay where dlgautographs is trying to unload this monstrosity. Sadly, they just might do it too because it's actually signed by 4 Jets that most of America has never heard of. If you ask me, he should have asked for a Jersey Exchange instead.
If you're building a shrine to terrible jerseys in your man cave and can't resist this Pièce de résistance then by all means place a bid.
Saw this ebay auction in a tweet by @scottyhockey
I don't know what's worse. The Jersey foul itself, the fact that somebody paid $140 for it originally, or the fact that he admits it was a grown man who ordered the #69 on his custom jersey.
Thankfully nobody has yet bid on this jersey foul.
Today's jersey foul is really a link to tapeleg's blog where he points out a sakic jersey that's missing an obvious element. Perhaps this guy was buying it on the installment plan? Next time he might want to pick a rookie – increasing the chances that his player won't retire before he finally completes the jersey.
Click the thumbnail to view what @tapeleg has to say about this jersey foul.
Because nothing says "I'm Irish" like a Cabrera jersey. I've never understood why people make special St Patricks day jerseys anyway. Of course, if I had to pick one player who most likely celebrates a holiday dedicated to binge drinking, it would definitely have to be Miguel Cabrera. So I guess it's only a half foul here.

Avoiding Temper TantrumsSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Temper tantrums aren't intentional or planned. They are a normal response to anger and other strong emotions. It's best to prevent tantrums if you can. But if you can't, sometimes the best way to deal with a temper tantrum is to ignore the tantrum or distract your child.
Prevent temper tantrums
You may be able to help prevent or reduce how often temper tantrums happen by:
- Establishing and keeping a regular schedule that includes enough hours of sleep and times set aside for eating meals. Having a predictable routine can help your child to feel in control and stay positive.
- Knowing what to expect from your child based on his or her age and abilities. Parents who expect too much often correct their child more than they need to or ask the child to do things that he or she isn't able to do. This increases the child's frustration.
- Allowing your child to make simple choices, such as which vegetable to eat or which shirt to wear. Being able to make choices reduces frustration and helps children develop self-confidence.
- Setting fair, consistent, and firm limits on the child's behavior. Say "no" when you mean "no." When you say "no," don't change your mind and give in to the child's wishes. This confuses children or teaches them that "no" sometimes means "yes."
- Removing breakable or valuable possessions from your child's reach. This helps decrease the number of times you need to say "no" to your child.
- Praising and thanking your child when he or she behaves appropriately and does things that you would expect from a child that age.
- When your child is calm, listening to your child's concerns and reasons for having a different opinion or idea than you do.
Ignore temper tantrums
Sometimes ignoring a temper tantrum works best. Ways to ignore your child during a tantrum include:
- Walking away from the child. But for some children this doesn't work. They may feel more out of control, making the temper tantrum worse.
- Standing about 5 ft (1.5 m) away from the child and continuing to do what you were doing. You can observe without focusing all of your attention on your child.
- Not talking to the child, if possible. If you do talk to your child, talk in a neutral tone of voice.
Distract your child
You may be able to shorten a tantrum by:
- Distracting your child or redirecting his or her attention when you notice that your child is becoming frustrated. Young children often aren't aware of their mounting frustration.
- Removing your child from situations that are likely to trigger a temper tantrum. Young children often aren't aware that certain situations are too much for them to handle. The excitement and activity of certain situations, such as a large family dinner or the lights and noise of a carnival, may trigger a temper tantrum.

Dozens of teams taking part in annual sled dog races in wilds of northern Maine
FORT KENT, Maine (AP) � Dozens of sled dog teams from throughout the United States and Canada are in Maine for the start of the 21st annual Can-Am Crown Sled Dog Races, including an Iditarod qualifier that's run through the wilds of the northern part of the state.
More than 50 teams from as far away as Minnesota and Michigan are signed up for the three races, which were set to begin Saturday in Fort Kent. All three races are limited to 30 teams each.
The Can-Am 250, now in its 21st year, begins Saturday after the shorter 30- and 60-mile races get under way. The 250-mile race, a qualifier for Alaska's Iditarod and the Alaska-Canada Yukon Quest, can take more than two days to complete including mandatory layovers in locations along the route.
The race is billed as the longest and highest-caliber race in the eastern United States. The mushers follow a clockwise route from Fort Kent south to Portage and west to the Allagash Wilderness Waterway region before turning north, and back east along the Maine-Quebec border to Fort Kent.
The winner of the 250-mile race, which has a purse of $20,000, is not expected to cross the finish line in Fort Kent until Monday morning.
The nearly 1,000-mile Iditarod race from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska, also begins Saturday. Sixty-eight mushers were entered in this year's Iditarod.

These 20 States Consume the Most Alcohol in America
We love to root for an underdog, and our nation's teeniest state also happens to be one of our booziest. There are 1 million people who live in Rhode Island, and they're responsible for guzzling 2.3 million gallons of ethanol in one year. That's 2.565 gallons per person over age 14.istockphoto.com
#19 Massachusetts
Massachusetts is home to 6.82 million people who are recorded as having had 14.8 million gallons of ethanol in one year. That's 2.568 gallons per person over 14 in the Bay State, just edging out neighbor Rhode Island.DenisTangneyJr/istockphoto.com
#18 Louisiana
Louisiana's 4.69 million residents knocked back 9.9 million gallons of ethanol in one year, which equates to 2.59 gallons per person over 14. Mardi Gras, anyone?Shutterstock
#17 Florida
Sunny skies + golf courses + theme parks + Miami = a no-brainer. Florida practically wrote the book on boozing. The Sunshine State's population of 20.66 million is credited for consuming 46.2 million gallons of ethanol in one year. That's 2.65 gallons per person over 14 (which may or may not include our innocent Publix-loving parents and grandparents).fotomak/Shutterstock.com
#16 Wyoming
Wyoming may come last alphabetically, but it doesn't falter on this list. The Equality State's teensy population of 584,910 tossed back 1.2 million gallons of ethanol in one year. That's about 2.67 gallons per person over.Steve Cukrov/Shutterstock.com
#15 Oregon
Oregon's 4 million people are recorded as having drunk 9.4 million gallons of ethanol in one year, which boils down to about 2.75 gallons per person over age 14.Shutterstock
#14 Minnesota
Sorry, did you say "Minnesota" or "vodka soda"? The North Star State's 5.25 million residents consumed 12.5 milllion gallons of ethanol in one year, which means each person over 14 sucked down 2.77 gallons each.istockphoto.com
#13 Maine
Here's the main takeaway about Maine: Even its lobsters are drunk. Just kidding, but the 1.33 million people here are recorded as having consumed 3.2 milllion gallons of ethanol in 2016. That's 2.811 gallons per person (crustaceans not included) over age 14.istockphoto.com
#12 Colorado
Tied with Maine is Colorado, where 5.53 million residents are responsible for taking down 12.8 million gallons of ethanol in one year. That measures out to 2.815 gallons per person over age 14, just edging out Maine.istockphoto.com
#11 South Dakota
Jeez, South Dakota. Save some for the rest of us! An estimated 861,500 inhabitants racked up an impressive 2 million gallons of ethanol consumed in just one year. That's 2.87 gallons per person over 14.istockphoto.com
#10 Idaho
Idaho isn't all potatoes, you know. Of the 1.68 million people living there, some fraction is responsible for the 3.9 million gallons of ethanol consumed. Per person over 14, that adds up to approximately 2.92 gallons each.peeterv/istockphoto.com
#9 Alaska
Alaska hits the bottle pretty hard, but can you blame them? What else are you supposed to do to pass 30 days of night on the Last Frontier? The 741,500 people in this snowy state are recorded as having consumed 1.7 milllion gallons of ethanol in one year. That's 2.94 gallons per person over 14.istockphoto.com
#8 Wisconsin
When Steven Hyde yelled out "I love Wisconsin!" at the end of the "That '70s Show" theme song, he may or may not have been drunk, because according to science, all leads point to the former. Data shows that the Badger State's 5.77 million residents took in 14.3 million gallons of ethanol in one year, which means each person over 14 is allotted 2.98 gallons.Shutterstock
#7 Vermont
An estimated 623,000 people living in Vermont collectively consumed 1.6 million gallons of Ben & Jerry's ice cream... er, ethanol in one year. This equates to 3.08 gallons per person over 14.Shutterstock
#6 Montana
In Montana, the mountains are gorgeous, the rolling meadows are filled with happy cows and the people are getting turnt. It's recorded that an estimated 2.7 million gallons of ethanol were consumed by the state's population of just over a million. That's 3.11 gallons per person over 14.Shutterstock
#5 North Dakota
North Dakotans seem to keep things pretty quiet, but little did you know, a chunk of its 755,548 inhabitants are at the pub getting gassed. In just one year, they consumed 2 million gallons of ethanol statewide, which equates to 3.26 gallons per person over 14.csfotoimages/istockphoto.com
#4 Nevada
This one shouldn't come as much of a surprise, considering Nevada is home to one of the country's biggest party destinations. Viva Las Vegas! An estimated 2.9 million Silver State residents drank 8.4 million gallons of ethanol in one year. That's 3.46 gallons designated for each person over 14.istockphoto.com
#3 Delaware
The second smallest state does booze pretty big. Delaware's 952,698 residents are recorded as having drunk 3 million gallons of ethanol in one year altogether, which amounts to 3.72 gallons per person over 14.istockphoto.com
#2 Washington, D.C.
Our nation's capital is as lit as the torch held by Lady Liberty. Washington, D.C., has nearly 684,336 residents, many of whom apparently aren't afraid to throw 'em back. Data shows inhabitants consume 2.2 million gallons of ethanol per year as a collective, or 3.85 gallons per person over age 14. What's driving D.C. to drink? We have a few theories.Shutterstock
#1 New Hampshire
Who cares if it's the fifth smallest state? New Hampshire knows how to hang! Or should we call it New Hammered? The 1.33 million people here drink more per person than in any other state. Collectively, Granite Staters pounded 5.4 million gallons of ethanol in 2016. That's 4.76 gallons per person over 14, which is more than twice the national average (2.35) and more than any other state. It could have something to do with the fact that there's no tax on alcohol here - or maybe everyone's just parched. As a matter of fact, so are we. Save us a seat at the best bar in your state, will ya?

Meeting PCI DSS requirements with data management
Despite the industry your organization might fall into, it likely faces plenty of compliance requirements. There are laws, regulations and contractual obligations that dictate how IT operations must be conducted, often resulting in confusion and complexity. It is up to the enterprise information security and compliance managers to sort out and coordinate these requirements, while still providing an environment where business can be done.
In this special video presentation from SearchSecurity.com's enterprise compliance expert Mike Chapple, learn how to build a sustainable and maintainable IT compliance program. The main objective is to keep your organization compliant with laws and regulations while minimizing the time spent on nonvalue-added tasks that distract from the primary objectives of the compliance program.

Wisconsin has its way with California
Badgers hand Bears their first loss of season
MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin 81, California 56: Ben Brust scored a season-high 22 points and Jared Berggren added 18 points and eight rebounds as the host Badgers handed the Bears their first loss of the season.
Berggren's free throw with 5:02 left in the first half capped a 12-0 run and put Wisconsin (5-3) ahead 31-12. Ryan Evans had 13 points and Sam Dekker added 10 for the Badgers, who shot 51.7 percent from the field.
Allen Crabbe paced California (6-1) with 25 points and seven rebounds, and Justin Cobbs had 11 points on 3-for-10 shooting. The Bears were outrebounded for the first time this season, 34-27.
Wisconsin bounced back from a rare home loss to Virginia last Wednesday by recording 16 steals and holding the Bears to 38.3 percent shooting. The Badgers led by 26 after Mike Bruesewitz's 3-pointer with 10:56 remaining. Bruesewitz finished with eight points and as many rebounds.
California, which had won five of its first six games by double digits, committed 23 turnovers and set a season-low in points scored.
GAME NOTEBOOK: California was looking to start the season 7-0 for the first time since 1959. … The Badgers improved to 170-16 at the Kohl Center since Bo Ryan became coach in 2001-02. … The Bears entered the contest with 40 or more rebounds in each of their last four games.

Prevention of mother-child transmission programs work but infants need checking for drug resistance
Genetic mutations that lead to antiretroviral (the drugs used to treat HIV/AIDS) resistance in HIV-infected infants may develop as a result of exposure to low doses of maternal antiretroviral drugs via breastfeeding rather than being acquired directly from the mother. This key finding from a study by Clement Zeh from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Kisumu, Kenya, and colleagues, published in this week's PLoS Medicine, is important as it may impact the choice of drug regimen given to HIV-infected breastfeeding mothers and their infected infantsan effective intervention which has been shown to substantially reduce the overall rate of mother-to-child transmission of the HIV virus.
The authors conducted a secondary analysis (or substudy) of The Kisumu Breastfeeding Studya trial in Kisumu, Kenya by Timothy Thomas and colleagues from the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) and CDC, Kisumu, Kenya, and colleagues also reported in this week's PLoS Medicine. The Kisumu Breastfeeding Study assessed the safety and transmission rates of a triple-antiretroviral regimen (zidovudine, lamivudine, and either nevirapine or nelfinavir) given to HIV-infected women a few weeks before giving birth (34 wk gestation) through 6 months of breastfeeding. The study documented transmission rates of 7% at 24 months, most of them due to transmission in-utero or during delivery, which is considerably lower than the 25% - 48% transmission rates reported in the absence of antiretrovirals. The authors concluded that this combination of drugs was safe and feasible in resource-limited settings.
In their secondary analysis, Clement Zeh and colleagues investigated the possible causes of the emergence of maternal ARV-associated resistance among the 24 infants who were infected with HIV either at delivery or during 6 months of breastfeeding and thus exposed to maternal ARVs.
The authors took regular blood samples from these infants and from their mothers to look for the presence of HIV drug resistance mutations. The authors found that various mutations were present in samples taken from all the HIV-positive infants whose mothers who had received nelfinavir but in only half of those taken from infants whose mothers who had received nevirapine. However exposure to nevirapine resulted in a wider range of ARV resistant mutations. In contrast, most of the mothers of HIV-positive infants had no HIV drug resistance mutations, and only one mother-infant pair had an overlapping pattern of HIV drug resistance mutations. This pattern of mutations suggests that drug resistance most likely arose through exposure of the infants to low levels of ARVs in breast milk rather than through mother-to-child transmission of drug-resistant HIV virus.
These findings need further confirmation through future studies but suggest that infants exposed to antiretroviral drugs through breast milka situation that may become increasingly common given the encouraging results of The Kisumu Breastfeeding Study and similar trials that show a reduction in mother-to-child-transmissionshould be carefully monitored for HIV infection. Providers should consider the mother's regimen when choosing treatment for infants who are found to be HIV infected while breastfeeding and closely monitor response to therapy.
Clement Zeh and colleagues say: "The low mother-to-child HIV transmission rates observed in the trial support the role of triple-combination maternal antiretroviral therapy as a successful [Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission] intervention among breastfeeding HIV-infected mothers. However, the data from this secondary analysis suggest that ingestion of antiretroviral drugs through breast milk may have contributed to the emergence of HIV drug resistance mutations in the infants, as we observed an increasing frequency of infants with HIV drug resistance mutations over the first 6 months of life when maternal antiretroviral therapy was given during breastfeeding."
They add: "[Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission] programs providing maternal antiretroviral therapy during breastfeeding and those caring for infants exposed to antiretroviral through breast milk will need to be cognizant of this issue and consider monitoring these infants more closely and tailoring their treatment accordingly."

First ingredient is a named meat product
Insufficient meat content, mixed quality ingredients, controversial filler
The first ingredient in this food is a named meat product, in meal form. There is a further meat meal ingredient 7th on the ingredient list. This is far too far down to make any substantial contribution to the overall meat content of the food. We note it is a fish ingredient, but we find no sign on the manufacturer website of a guarantee that they use only ethoxyquin-free protein sources in the product (ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative commonly added to fish ingredients, but which is banned or heavily regulated in human food due to the belief that it is carcinogenic).
The main grains in the food are rice, spelt and barley. All are decent quality grains. We note that chicken fat is the fourth ingredient in the food. Research at Purdue University has identified fat in the top four ingredients of dry food as a factor increasing the risk of bloat in large breed dogs. We assume the egg ingredient in this food to be whole eggs, which is appreciated. Tomato pomace is filler, as is rice bran which is a grain fragment. The protein content of the food is boosted by hydrolysate, which is not a high quality ingredient.
Beet pulp is controversial filler which appears to be used in large quantities in this food. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.
We appreciate the range of fruits/vegetables in the food but we note that this product includes synthetic vitamin K, a substance linked to liver problems and that is progressively being removed from better quality dog food products.

This is a compilation of all of our Easter celebrations and multiple egg hunts... I think Emma participated in 5 egg hunts this season. She's a pro. The good news is that we got a lot of wear out of her two Easter dresses - both Mini Boden, for those of you that will ask :)
This was her first official hunt at our Church a couple weeks ago - before the weather decided to be Springy. Notice the charm bracelet : ) She's a jewelry girl.
This is Emma on Easter morning at my parents' church in Lexington. Don't you love this little vintage bunny purse? It was filled with lip glosses to keep her busy in church.
Left, she's telling us - I'll be riiiiight back, as she headed over to get more eggs from the older kid's hunting area.
We went over to see Gramp Gramp's baby and mama cows. Emma talks about them all of the time.
"Aunt" Claire
All dolled up for Easter morning : )
I've found it has become increasingly hard to take photos of Emma - as this is her preferred state. Going!
Emma and Uncle Josh.
A hunt at Mimi and Papi's house - Mr. Darcy is thrilled, can you tell?
He broke open several eggs... to Emma's frustration, but she seems ok in this photo with arms full of eggs.

Great post! Thank-you!
Personally, I would also love to keep my own surname – mainly because I feel that the traditional marriage is patriarchal and outdated. Not that I don't like marriage, I LOVE marriage, I think there is nothing better than declaring your love and commitment for each other to the world, and when I do decide to get married I'm going to take it very dam seriously.
Anyway, I've had 2 proper relationships, previous and current. When I raised the point both guys had the same reaction: "Wouldn't you be proud to be part of my family? What's wrong with my name." They were genuinely offended.
After some discussion Mr. Previous couldn't understand at all, but Mr. Current could sort of get my drift (hence the current ). He raised all those points of unity, and what about the children!
I like the traditions of Chile, where the child gets both the father's mother's names and the mother retains her names and her adds her husband's. Although only the father's is "official", this for me is more practical since we don't want to end up with 100 names is a few generations.
Unfortunately my name is ridiculously long so double-barrel may not work, but fortunately I have a few years to decide and regardless of what I choose, this is the important bit… It will be a CHOICE.
Great post! Thanks so much.
I was at a wedding last month where one of the groom's friends had the task of introducing the bride and groom as they walked into the banquet hall. He introduced them as Mr. and Mrs. Joe Bloggs, and everyone clapped raucously. But the bride and groom didn't move. Then Joe said to his groomsman: 'It's Mr. and Mrs. Joe and Josephine Bloggs-Jones.' The groomsman tried again, stumbling over his words with incredulity, and the couple made their way to the top table, accompanied by polite clapping. The man sitting next to me said loudly to his girlfriend 'I guess we know who wears the trousers.'
And about the ring thing – I don't think it's cheeky to ask women to consider the sexism inherent in expecting a very expensive piece of jewellery in exchange for their promise of marriage. I think it's important. I don't want me no rock. If my boyfriend and I choose to marry, I want us both to the exchange symbols of love and promise to mark our decision. (The boyfriend's delighted of course – he's got himself a cheap date.)
I didn't want to have an engagement ring until my future husband wanted to buy me one, and then his excitement at being engaged was more infectious than my Bolshy "I'm not an object that you put a downpayment on" stance. I did make sure that he bought me a ring that I liked and not one that cost the earth, though!
I always thought that, if I ever got married, I would keep my name. But then I liked my now husband's last name better than my own, and my own was my dad's anyway, so if I was going to be identified by a man's last name, it might as well be the name of the man I had chosen to spend the rest of my life with. I now feel that my married name is my own, more than my previous name.
The getting married, the changing my name, was all my choosing. It is a pain getting all your documents changed though! Not to mention expensive. So there are practical reasons for keeping your original surname.
I love this topic. I'm a woman, married to a woman who has taken my surname.
It's easy to forget that everyone's choice is specific to their circumstances, when it is often taken for something automatic. My situation makes it all the more obvious. There are few rules for civil partnerships. Nobody really expected anything from us, or knew what to expect from the day or the ongoing arrangements (in lots of ways it's liberating! In many others it's a bit sad!). But it's a good example of making plain choices when it comes to name changes.
The reasons for our choice:
- My wife is one of six and has brothers who will carry on their name, where I'm the daughter of a man with four sisters and my family name would die out if I changed it.
- We want our children to share a single surname. Having two mums is enough work without having two names.
- My name is shorter and a bit cooler. (Don't tell my parents-in-law I said that.)
In every case, Mrs Bride didn't necessarily chuck away all of her individuality with the bouquet. As long as the change isn't automatic or against anyone's will, then do as you please. There are as many reasons for keeping or changing your name as there are couples.
I think the important thing is that people are aware that there's a choice, and they think about it, and make a decision from the heart that makes them happy.
As for me, I'm over the moon that my wife has my surname, even if it does confuse my mother that there are now three Mrs Flynns.
I didn't take my husband's name (mainly because it seemed ridiculous after 13 years of living together, but also because he had a huge family where mine was only small, and for some reason I really resisted the idea of just becoming lost in amongst his flock). All the bank accounts/bills/passport/etc are still in my own name but the minute I walked back into work after the wedding, things started to appear in the 'married' name.
This is causing personnel a surprising amount of grief now the divorce is in process. Not to mention all the business contacts who think I'm a brand new person. Ha! Take that patriarchal assumptions in the work place!
I was just having this conversation with my friend yesterday! Although I think sometimes it changes with circumstance, right now single-22 year old me wants to keep my surname-I like it and it works well with my other names! Unless I am getting a surname upgrade to something much more awesome I think I'll stick with it. (My friend's surname is McCool, I'd take that!)
Find it sad that women even have to have the discussion in the first place. I behave like a dude in these matters and simply act as though my name will always be my name and that's it. Married or no. Anyone who has a problem with it can deal with their own discomfort – ridiculous as it is – and shouldn't expect any explanation from me. Turns out my boyfried assumes the same and so happy days there.
If I ever have a kid, it will have my surname as part of its name. If I'm going to work for nine months on creating something, there's no way my name's not going on it!
I wrote something from the bride's perspective for Bad Reputation (http://www.badreputation.org.uk/2012/02/21/guest-post-shut-up-juliet-why-this-rose-is-thinking-of-keeping-her-name/) on this and I swear, this is the issue that is causing me the most wedding stress. Because I kinda think my last name is my identity but I also think I'm creating a new family (despite us not wanting kids) and therefore we should have a shared name. But his name is his brand (he's an author) and changing it for him is more of a hassle because of that, so it might be me. Maybe.
I'll probably get round to it at our 20 year anniversary.
I don't really understand why people get married at all tbh.
I know one couple, both female, who fused their surnames into a portmanteau-y new one when they married. Worked our v. well for them, and definitely earns points for ingenuity (although caution would be required for a Masterson wedding a Bates, or a Dickinson wooing a Waddell…)

I've been saying this for as long as I remember, when I first found out that women were expected to change their names upon marriage. It bugged me and it bugs me now. I can't stand this 'Mr and Mrs his name' crap and I feel like its so unnecessary that most of my married female friends have changed their names. I spent so long hating mine that in the end, I've accepted it and now I like it. The kids can have their mother's name as a middle name or something of the sort but the arrogance of a man who thinks it should be automatically done pisses me off the most. Like her name means nothing over his. I never stop being annoyed over that
Good post! My name is my identity and I could never imagine changing it, no matter how much I love someone. Besides, imagine the hassle – banks, employers, the tax office, mortgage companies, credit unions, electricity providers…. it goes on and on!
When my husband and I got engaged, this was one of the first discussions we had, and it was a discussion. My husband wasn't hurt that I brought it up, or wasn't just naturally assuming I'd take his name. In the end, it was important to me that we have the same last name, I like him more than my dad, his last name sounds really nice with my first name, and I have a big brother who is passing down my name, whereas he's the last male in his family, so I took his last name.
Obviously every couple can sort this out on their own, and it's just sad that there's an assumption that one thing will be done, vs. the many options out there. (How about, the man takes the woman's name?? That was on the table for us.)
It DOES piss me off royally when newly married couples are announced as "Mr. and Mrs. Joe Smith" or what have you, as if the wife has lost all identity. I went over this with the priest, and the dj, and was very vehement, and we were introduced as Mr. and Mrs. his first name, and my first name, our new last name.
Changing my name was one hell of a hassle! Three years later I haven't done my passport yet…
I love this post and totally agree that it's a choice.
When I decided to take my husbands name however, I faced a lot of criticism. One colleague even said to me "I never expected it of you" accompanied with a look I can only describe as disgust. It was like I'd let the sisterhood down.
For me, it was about having kids. I want us all to have the same name and it so happens that we went with my husbands. Yes, it was really weird for me (still is) but that's my business.
Whatever you CHOOSE, it's important that we live in a society where things like that are a choice.
This is a topic that has always fascinated me.
I am Spanish and we do not change our surnames, never have, never will. In the majority of mediterranean countries and some of the latin americans women keep their surname and the children get both (the first of the father and the first of the mother, and entire lineages of families can be tracked back like this). For us is a question of heritage and respect for family (I am sure that my parents and my siblings would not like the fact that suddenly I have given up who I am to be someone else) It is a question of identity. How can anyone suddenly after a wedding be someone else?
I have been given life, raised, loved and educated by two people and I would never renounce to their surnames.
As for the children, well I believe I will contribute to create them so I would like them to have part of who I am and my family as well.
And … if you get divorced? (like 40% of couples) are you back to who you where or do you keep being "Mrs someone I don´t want to have anything else to do with"… even worse … WHAT IF YOU REMARRY? I would end up totally schizophrenic!!!! very confusing.
Don't stress Lizzie, my husband and I celebrated our 5th anniversary in April and I still haven't made a final decision on whether I'll keep my name or adopt his (drives him batty! Not the bit where I haven't taken his name, but the bit where I won't make a decision).
To be honest, it's just not an issue for me. My name is my name and I don't see why I should change it. Or worry about it.
But despite you "not wanting kids" what about the CHILDREN?!
I grew up with married parents with different last names (and come from an extended family of aunts and uncles in which only 1 of 7 wives changed their name) but as a child I found it really confusing answering questions from other kids about it. You know. Are they married? Yes. Are they divorced? No. Are they both your real parents? Yes. Way hard for a seven year old to see why it was causing so much fuss.
So the conundrum – turn my back on the sisterhood, and the generation of my family who denied tradition to maintain their name (and arguably their identity) – or go with my husband's name as a mark of respect to the love of my life and to represent the unification of our family?
To date I've done nothing about it. I don't get offended by mail posted to Mrs and Mr Hisname but I got a massive kick out of a wedding we attended recently where our place setting was identified by Mrs and Mr Myname (win!)
But the CHILDREN?!
So when we have kids I think I might tack his name on the end of mine. Maybe with a hyphen, maybe without Latin-styles.
Because I don't want to sacrifice my name, or my ties to the family that raised me, or the line of history attached to my father's name that stretches across 3 continents.
But I do want something that ties me to my new family, I want to be part of the 'Hisnames' and for strangers (in particular school teachers and doctors) to know how we're associated. I want future records to make it instantly obvious how I fit into the lineage and the history of all of my family.
Given that I can choose and my future husband is indifferent, I think becoming Ms HisName is harmless and a nice gesture of unity. But it is absolutely a choice that I have made, which is the important thing to me.
(as an aside – as an unmarried mother, my son taking his father's surname was important to both of us as a signal of relatedness)
Italian wives don't change their surnames on marriage, so it isn't universal. My sister uses her husband's surname socially, but sticks to her original family name professionally. I don't see why there should be any hard and fast rules. Women are not chattels.
Awesome post – this came up randomly in conversation with the boyfriend today. I've always thought my surname was a bit boring, and quite like his. He was actually genuinely surprised when I said I'd probably take his name if we married – a reaction I really wasn't expecting and was actually quite refreshing.
Now I'm thinking about it though, I'd probably consider double-barreling my name, but I'd expect him to do the same. He's awesome, so I don't think he'd be bothered if I suggested it. Whatever I decide to do with my name I think I'd like my partner's to match – that covers the ideals of outward symbols unity and, as many have said here, I'd like my future children's names to match mine.
I would be GENUINELY insulted if I was ever addressed as "Mrs. Joe Bloggs" though.
Changing my name to my husband's wasn't something that crossed my mind even for a second, but what got to me was the number of people – generally family members – who regarded me with horror when I told them that I wasn't. I can't see how anybody who attended our wedding was surprised – my husband made a big deal during his wedding speech about how there was no way he was going to say anything "on behalf of my wife and I" (but still got the traditional whoops when the words escaped his lips.
I like the idea, if you're one of those couples who makes the choice to have children, of having a unified family identity; but rather than that coming through the father's line I'd be in favour of double-barrelling or compounding or some sort of creation. Not an issue for us though, just in case the awkward phrasing in the first sentence didn't make that clear enough. Both my husband and I are writers and our names are our "brands" – in my case, in particular, I'd be giving up a name that as far as I can tell is unique in favour of one that already has a Google footprint (yes, I checked). It doesn't make our union any less valid.
I don't think any woman is 'betraying the sisterhood' if she changes her name to her husband's. But, the marital name-change is a sexist tradition. It is something women are expected to do, that men are not. Many men defend this tradition in a way that is completely out of proportion, showing up latent sexist beliefs.
All the talk of 'unity' and having the same name as the kids, wanting to show 'relatedness', etc, is just another way of saying, I want to comply with tradition in this case. If the social pressure wasn't there, if it really was only about 'unity' etc, half the married couples out there would have the wife's surname. Half the kids born in unmarried couples would have the mother's surname, come to that.
So that's not what it's about, for a lot of people. It's about conforming. Which is fine, but I wish more people would be honest about it.
I'm not blaming anyone, social pressure can be very hard to resist. I have been on the receiving end of so much crap for wanting to keep my own surname, it's utterly ridiculous. I wouldn't blame anyone for wanting to take the easy route and just do what's considered 'normal'. It is a choice. It's just not a completely free choice in my opinion.
This comment has been removed by the author.
This. Exactly!
I don't get why people keep insisting that it's a choice–EVERYTHING that women choose to do to conform with patriarchal traditions is a choice, including choosing how to dress, how to behave, whether to work or not, etc. But the point is that there could be so many other choices that women could make than changing their last names to their husband's. If it's really about unity, why not get him to change? Why not come up with a whole new name that is neither of yours to start with?
Keeping my name.
So far I have also negotiated all female offspring to have my 'surname'.
No intention of changing mine back to my mother's though… you could take that kind of thing too far (grandma, greatgrandma?)besides, you have their mitochondrial DNA and no one can take that away from you!
I also think BNC is an outdated patriarchal tradition. I view the issue as this – it is convenient and unified for the family to share a single surname. As to what that surname should be, depends on what the parents are happy with.
In future whether I am happy to give up my surname or not, entirely depends on how my hubby's compares to mine (I consider my surname pretty average and boring, so it's no great loss). If his surname was "crapface" or "thatcher" I'd keep my own! And I guess we'd then have to argue about what the kids were called. Maybe he'd take mine, maybe we could invent a new surname for us both, maybe stick with different ones and give the kids a new surname etc… Either way gender wouldn't come into it.
Atm, my bf's surname is actually nicer than my own, and I'd be glad to take it! But not because I'm a girl.
I completely agree and I get especially pissed off when women are introduced as Mrs Joe Bloggs. Like the author of this article says, we can lose our entire identity! Crazyness!
There is also something else amiss here though, and that is the title you are given. Obviously it's all down to personal choice about whether you are a Ms, Miss or Mrs but where are the male equivalents? Why can't they be defined by their marital status in their title? Why has no one come up with alternatives to Master and Mister for chaps yet or indeed a whole new title for married chaps? Huh huh? I get very cross when I can't order stuff online because they state that they can't process my order without knowing what my title is. Yes.they.can. Knowing whether I am married or not makes no difference to my buying a train ticket! So I simply put 'Lady' as my title and compromise by letting them know my gender, (am still hoping for an upgrade to first class on the trains for being a Lady but it hasn't worked yet); but even knowing my gender is not relevant and certainly shouldn't prevent me from buying a product if I choose not to tell you. I suggest that we all change our titles to 'The' and become definite articles unless anyone has any better suggestions? This is something that I have wracked my brains over for years – the elusive gender/status neutral title that people can choose to use if they wish.
One more opinion that bothers me; if changing your name means that you are a devoted/proud/supportive wife etc, then very few men in this world are a devoted/proud/supportive husband. Just another reason as to why I'm of the opinion these 'reasons' on the wife's part on doing so are ridiculous
Late to the conversation but re. wanting to have the same name as your kids, a little tale from my feminist parents:
My mum and dad were not married until recently despite being together for 32 years (finally relented for tax/insurance reasons etc, why are straight people denied civvie Ps? But that's another argument). My mum would never have dreamt in a million years of taking my dad's name. My sister was born first, and has my mum's name. I arrived second, and have my dad's name. AND GUESS WHAT? It's fine! Has never caused any problems – if anything it's a talking point, and me and my sister feel more that we are 'our own people'. Highly recommend it.
I find it a bit depressing that friends are getting married who previously swore they'd never have a BNC, but now backtracking. Agree with poster above who said it is a choice, just not a free one.
I'm a feminist and I will take my fiance's name in less than a year. Two reasons: 1) I'm a foreigner in where we live whilst he's a native. I have a very long surname which no one here pronounces correctly and which, in its archaic structure, indicates that I am not married. In other words, my surname has a different suffix to that of my mum's and dad's (and of course theirs differ too since my dad is a man and my mum is a married woman). So it would be weird to continue being call Miss after I'm married. And I look forward to the day I dont have to spell my name over and over again. 2) But most importantly, my fiance has a gorgeous surname! Hence my choice to take his surname. But being Mrs HisFullName would be super weird, no thanks!
I'm the same as Žiupsnelisdruskos, if I were to get married, I'd probably take his surname too, as mine has Brits all confused (although it's not *that* long or complicated). And double-barrelling it would be weird.
Just want to mention two more points here: my best friend and her boyfriend have given their little girl both their surnames. Problem solved at least for now. I guess if she gets married, she can then maybe choose one of the two to transmit to her own children, Spanish-style? I know they're currently thinking of getting married/civil partnershipped (it does exist in France for straight ppl) for her sake, so I'm assuming they'll either keep their names or match it to hers.
Secondly, my boyfriend is still married, although he and his wife hate each other's guts and have been separated for over 3 years. However she still uses his surname, supposedly because of their daughter, but also because she hates her maiden name. Now if I were to get married to him, once he's divorced, I am adamant that I would want her to stop using his name, especially as I would probably be taking it. But apparently there is no way of forcing her to do that, although why the hell would you want to be known by your married name when you're divorced from the bloke?? (here's looking at you, Cheryl Cole…)
Oh and yeah. There's nothing I'd hate more than being called Mrs Joe Bloggs. I didn't even know people still did that, how rude!!
Bit late to this party but wanted to add my 2 cents… I'm in a very happy committed relationship (not married, not engaged, no plans) but if we ever decide to get married I would not change my name: I thought it was a weird tradition when I was a child (and the word feminism meant less than F.A.) and I think it's weird now. I find it very upsetting that so many of married (female) friends changed their names so quickly they must have still been wearing the big white dress!
I appreciate that there are times when changing your name is a no brainer, if your surname is Hitler or you were horrifically abused by a family member, but aside from that I really don't see it is necessary in this day and age. My boyfriend's parents divorced when he was 4 and he has no recollection of ever having the same surname as his mother. The only time this apparently bothered him was when he had to write out two envelopes for school reports.
I've just finished my PhD and I absolutely love it when some knobber asks if I'm "Miss, Ms or Mrs.?" I just look condescending and say "Dr."! Passive aggressive, but makes my day!

Downtown West Sacramento Hotels
Finding the best hotel in Downtown West Sacramento can make or break the experience of your entire trip. Take a few minutes to explore what each hotel has to offer by viewing our directory below. Here are some tips to consider:
Elevators are notorious for being a nuisance so ask to be roomed on the top floor and as far away as possible. Most hotels book nearby rooms last so hopefully they have availability elsewhere.
Other sources of noise can be opening and closing trash dumpsters and also during collection by garbage trucks. Another great question is if they have any renovation plans, or underway that could affect your ability to relax. Pack earplugs and eyeshades!
Avoid booking poolside for kids playing during the day and gatherings at night. Sound bounces off of the water and voices carry so ask for a room away from the pool either on the opposite side of the hotel or in higher floors.

Blind to the black swan theory?
How a centralized approach to financial crime prevention can protect against the unexpected
Financial institutions worldwide are confronted by an explosion in the volume of financial crime affecting their businesses, encompassing everything from cyberthreats to market abuse, e-comms surveillance, money laundering, procurement fraud and unauthorized trading. Many have suffered significant financial losses as a result. It's an ongoing threat, with Kaspersky Lab recently revealing details of fraud by a multinational gang of cybercriminals involving the theft of between $300 million and $1 billion from financial institutions worldwide.
Along with this upsurge in criminality, regulatory activity to maintain the integrity of the financial services sector has escalated. This is reflected in the amount of regulatory change (tracked by business intelligence organization Thomson Reuters), which has more than doubled over the past two years. This regulatory attention, and threat of financial loss, is forcing the group of large Tier 1 global banks to sit up and listen, while their smaller Tier 2 counterparts have been slower to react.
To achieve this, they need to link relevant data and apply a risk detection model that uses analytics to proactively identify activities that pose the greatest risk.
Tier 2 banks: Moving from tactical to strategic in the fight against financial crime
Many senior decision makers from the Tier 2 banks believe they are small enough to manage risk using simple control-based spreadsheets. Typically, they don't see risk management as their number one priority, and are effectively operating in a work-around mode, sharing information among surveillance, fraud and financial crime teams without feeling any pressure to harmonize their approach.
This complacency could be due to the fact that, to date, relatively few of these smaller banks have incurred financial penalties. With little deterrent, they remain focused on short-term, tactical fixes to the strategic problem of risk management and financial crime prevention. However, while these may work in the short term, they're unlikely to be effective against the unforeseen "black swan" event that can severely damage an organization. Often, it's inappropriately rationalized as inevitable after the fact.
Unlike the Tier 2s, the larger Tier 1 banks recognize the threats they face, and are taking steps to counter them. Today, the more forward-thinking ones are combining units into coordinated organizational divisions. Many also have rules-based detection systems that enable them to adhere to regulatory compliance requirements. Typically, these are effective in identifying policy infringements, but struggle to identify the more sophisticated activities and are prone to generating high volumes of false positives.
Analytics can proactively identify activities that pose the greatest risk
Even the largest banks, however, have more work to do. Ultimately, the goal for both groups should be to implement a more rounded intelligence-based capability, giving decision makers an overarching view of employees and clients. However, to achieve this, they need to link relevant data and apply a risk detection model that uses analytics to proactively identify activities that pose the greatest risk.
The end goal is a single view of risk across all operational areas. To achieve this, you first need to link together the different structured and unstructured data sources that currently sit in silos within organizations and then harness, ingest and utilize external sources.
You should first use this approach to address high-priority areas of activity – such as money laundering, market abuse or cybercrime. You can then extend it to provide an all-encompassing view of the trader, counterpart or high-risk business activity being investigated, as well as ultimately providing an end-to-end view of risk across the organization.
With the data ingestion and linking process fully underway, your bank may opt to start implementing more sophisticated analytics to establish what constitutes normal behavior and highlight where behavior has deviated from that norm. This may mean investigating employees who have taken a high-volume position on trades against a deteriorating portfolio, or it could entail examining an unusually high spike in cancellations in light of a high volume of email communications between the front and back office. Whatever the scenario, it's important to look across the breadth of the data available and combine business knowledge and understanding to most effectively find both known and unknown risks.
The next stage is empowering the business user with visualizing the available data and associated links to ensure that investigators see emerging patterns. Thanks to the latest in-memory processing, millions of lines of data can be analyzed in seconds. The results can be presented in a highly visual way so that a chief risk officer can instantly understand which products are exposing the bank to the most risk, or investigators can decide which patterns to look at in greater detail.
Data quality is key through all of this, but to avoid delays, the best practice is to run data remediation efforts in parallel with investigative processes.
Benefits aren't restricted to Tier 1 banks
The larger banks have been first to adopt this approach, but Tier 2 banks can also benefit from it. Just as with their Tier 1 counterparts, connecting the dots remains key, but the Tier 2s may want to do this over fewer data points. Equally in the first project phase, instead of running analytics, they might opt to simply move from the data linkage to reporting, so they can begin to understand where the links are.
For both groups though, with the range of financial crime proliferating and regulatory pressure growing, adopting or retaining a siloed approach to tackling crime is no longer an option. The risk of financial and reputational loss is too severe to ignore. Today, Tier 1 banks largely understand this message, and the most forward-thinking have started on a path that will ultimately enable them to proactively tackle the threat of financial crime. For the moment, the Tier 2s are focused on expansion, rather than control, and largely continue to postpone proactive action.
Both groups must act now to achieve a holistic view of their organization, drive visibility of operational and compliance risks, and apply analytics to shape future investigations. In today's tightly controlled process-driven banking environment, adopting a fully integrated end-to-end approach to risk management and protection against crime has become an imperative.

Some monsters have immunity to being Unconscious. Since monsters die when they hit 0 HP (barring a PC deliberately inflicting nonlethal damage), what's the impact of this? Do they fight on when they're reduced to 0 HP or less by nonlethal damage? Does the nonlethal damage automatically miss, or get insta-converted into lethal damage? What does it mean for a mob to be immune to unconsciousness? Does it not have anything to do with dying at all, but only an inflicted status effect such as a wizard's "Sleep"?
The monster I'm referring to is "Kalarel's Shadow Apparition" from the revised Keep on the Shadowfell.
