Reasons to Be Proud of Becoming a Housewife | Home Design Ideas

Becoming a housewife you don?t need to go to work and be troubled by office jobs. You just need to stay at home to take care of house and family. Unfortunately some wives refuse to be full time housewives because they feel ashamed of it. Well, don?t be! You should be proud of it because:

You can see children growing bigger

Staying at home you have more time to take care of your family especially children. If you have been taking care of them since they?re babies and hold almost all of duties yourself, you?ll see your children growing bigger. Also when they start studying at school, you give them full attention, bring and take them to/from school. Working at office you?ll not be able to experience this.

You guarantee family needs

It?s still about taking care of family. Being a housewife you give full attention to your family. You know what they needs. You know when your husband needs new office clothes, when your children need new bags, what nutrients should be given to your children, what date your children should go to dentist Melbourne to check their teeth, more and more. While if you work, could you do or at least remember those things?

You?re more skilled

You?re accustomed to take care of house and family. You clean house every day and tidy it up as well. You might also plant many flowers and vegetables in the garden. You cook every day for family. Indirectly, you?ll be more skilled. How could you feel not proud of it?

Stay happy and proud of yourself becoming a housewife. You have and do great jobs that working women might not do.

Microsoft Surface Pro: Right For You?

Microsoft's Surface with Windows 8 Pro is here, and it's a curious beast. Both multitouch tablet and full-fledged Windows 8 laptop, the Surface Pro screamed NO COMPROMISES. But as with most hybrid devices, there are compromises aplenty.

Unlike its ARM-based sibling, Surface with Windows RT, Surface Pro runs legacy Windows programs -- the same office and home apps that work with pre-Windows 8 versions of the OS (with some exceptions). The business-oriented Surface Pro also runs Windows Store apps written for Microsoft's new tile-packed Modern UI.

The Surface Pro is hard to categorize. Is it a laptop, tablet or both? Does it offer the best of both worlds, or is it a wishy-washy compromise that's bound to disappoint?

Early reviews have tepid at best. Critics have dinged the Surface Pro's less-than-stellar battery life and other shortcomings, such as the viewing-angle limitations of its integrated kickstand. On the plus side, reviewers have praised the Surface Pro's solid build and its crisp high-definition display.

A recurring question is whether the Surface Pro, which costs over $1,000 (fully equipped with keyboard/cover), is too expensive. One factor working in its favor is that the device is targeted at business users, who are less price-sensitive than consumers. Microsoft has positioned the Surface RT ($499 and up) to duke it out in the end user market with bruising competitors such as the Apple iPad, Google Nexus 10 and Amazon Kindle Fire 8.9.

Initial sales of the Surface RT have been lackluster. UBS AG analyst Paul Thill last month estimated that Microsoft sold 1 million Surface RT tablets in the holiday quarter of 2012, a 50% reduction from Thill's original estimate of 2 million. And research firm IDC estimated that Microsoft shipped just under 900,000 Surface RT slates in Q4 2012.

Why the lackluster sales? Price, again, may be to blame.

"In the long run, consumers may grow to believe that high-end computing tablets with desktop operating systems are worth a higher premium than other tablets, but until then [average selling prices] on Windows 8 and Windows RT devices need to come down to drive higher volumes," said IDC mobile device analyst Ryan Reith, in a statement.

This doesn't mean the Surface Pro will receive the same lukewarm response from customers, although its high price is reason for concern. Here are 10 ways to know if the Microsoft Surface with Windows 8 Pro is right for you.

Hilarie LaTurno Battles Cancer With Support of 'Team Hilarie'

ABC News' Felicia Patinkin reports:

From the moment " GMA" anchor Robin Roberts revealed she had myelodysplastic syndrome or MDS last June, her fight became the fight of family, friends, and viewers, who all came together to join #TeamRobin. Roberts' spirit was brightened as she watched "GMA" from the sidelines and saw the rainbow wristbands with her message of "Light, Love, Power and Presence," the anchor teams' fuzzy green froggy slippers, and shout outs from viewers and celebrity guests.

For Roberts and millions of people facing illness, support can be the difference between hope and despair.

Take Hilarie LaTurno of Chicago. The 49-year-old has bravely battled ovarian cancer and made it through the long chemotherapy treatments with a smile thanks to the unwavering support of her band of best friends, nicknamed "Team Hilarie."

LaTurno's group of 17 women - some who have known each other since the third grade - have been by her side throughout, and even choreographed elaborate surprises to keep her smiling. For the last nine weeks, her 11-by-15 foot room at the Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago has been host to everything from chants by costumed cheerleaders and her very own "Gangham Style" parody.

Team Hilarie's weekly rituals have become a bright spot for the entire chemo floor. The sound of laughter spills out into the halls.

"I've seen lots of teams come in," Nurse Deborah Rimmelle of the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Unit said. "I've never seen the variety that they bring, the laughter ? and to be honest with you, there are days I come in and I just walk in and you just smile and you think, 'God, she is such a lucky woman.'"

RELATED: Robin Roberts Says She's Feeling Stronger Every Day

" Good Morning America" joined LaTurno for her tenth treatment, where he team had coordinated an extra special surprise. LaTurno as usual didn't know quite what to expect.

"It's like a day of adventure. It's like a Thelma and Louise," she said. "Like, what's going to happen today?"

After a quick rehearsal, lots of props and some bedazzled matching t-shirts, the gang descended upon her hospital room, singing "I'll Be There for You," the theme song from the hit show "Friends."

"Laughter definitely is the best medicine out there," LaTurno said. "I do cackle. I cackle to the point like I'm peeing in my pants, cackle."

Research shows laughter has been linked to decreasing stress and pain, even improving immunity and reducing blood pressure.

"When you have such a support you feel that there is such a wall behind you that you can't fall," LaTurno said. "You look at it a whole different way."

Husband, Michael and daughter, Brittney call Team Hilarie a blessing.

"It's tough enough to face it as a family alone, but when I know she's going to see her girlfriends I know her spirits pick up and therefore the spirits of the whole family pick up," he said.

"I feel like I've gained like 10 aunts along the way," Brittney added.

But in the end it is all about LaTurno, the captain of Team Hilarie, who knows Thursday is chemo day and still has a reason to smile.

"Without them it would be just another bad Thursday," she said. "Laying in a chemo bed. Now it's a day of celebration."

Utah football: Dennis Erickson wants to put teeth back in Ute offense

Arizona State head football coach Dennis Erickson is shown during their NCAA college football game against Oregon Saturday, Oct. 15, 2011, in Eugene, Ore. (AP Photo/Don Ryan)

Dennis Erickson doesn?t know too much about Travis Wilson?s throwing skills and doesn?t know all of Utah?s tight ends or receivers, but he does know one thing: they are all about to learn a new level of aggressive play.

Erickson, who was named Utah?s co-offensive coordinator Monday, said his goal is to turn Utah?s offense into much more of an attacking unit than it has been recently.

2008 400.9 35th

2007 369.9 79th

2006 368.4 41st

2005 473.0 12th

Such a goal must sound sweet to the ears of Utah fans, who have watched the offense struggle to put more than 27 points on the board the last two seasons.

"You have to be aggressive and you have to make teams play you," Erickson said. "You have to know what you want to do and we want to do a lot of things. We want different formations, good shots down the field, big plays on offense, all those things go into it."

All those things have been missing from Utah?s offense ? at least on a consistent basis ? with the Utes averaging just 25.9 points in their first two seasons of Pac-12 play.

The Utes averaged 33.3 points in their final three seasons of the Mountain West.

Such a dropoff could be blamed in part to quarterback injuries, but clearly Utah coach Kyle Whittingham?s decision to hire Erickson and name him co-offensive coordinator also is an acknowledgement that promoting Brian Johnson to coordinator after just two years as quarterbacks coach was a bit of a failed experiment.

Whittingham said Erickson, who coached Miami to national titles in 1989 and 1991, will have the final say in offensive decisions.

"He is brought in to make our offense more productive," he said.

The hiring is similar to the one the Utes made in January of 2011 when Norm Chow was hired. He was with the Utes only a year before taking the head coaching position at Hawaii.

story continues below

Whittingham said he envisions Erickson will have a similar role to Chow in that he will oversee the offense but let the assistants handle much of the hands-on duties. Aaron Roderick will remain the passing game coordinator and oversee the receivers, Jay Hill will remain as the running backs coach and Johnson will coach the quarterbacks and work alongside Erickson.

"We?re going to make this as un-invasive as possible," Whittingham said.

The 65-year-old Erickson, who had hip replacement surgery last week, said he may split time between Salt Lake City, Phoenix and his home in Coeur d?Alene, Idaho.

Erickson has been helping his son coach his high school team since being fired from Arizona State in 2011. He says he is eager to get back into the college game.

"It?s not in my makeup not to be a coach," he said. "Any time I?ve moved on in my life it has been back to coaching. It isn?t all about me. It?s about coaching the players and helping them on and off the field."

The Utes lamented the lack of big plays last season. To help them in that area, Erickson said he wants to use his traditional one-back set and use the tight ends more frequently.

"I like to spread them out, get good matchups, get the running game going and come back at them with tight ends and see how they play," he said. "You have to have a plan but it?s not just me. We?ll sit down as a staff and see what personnel fits best."

Scientists Agree with Libby Asbestos Study | Mesothelioma Cancer ...

Pat Guth contributes news and insightful content for the Mesothelioma Cancer Alliance. Bio ?

February 11, 2013

Libby, Montana - After a panel of scientists acknowledged that an EPA risk study on Libby, Montana is accurate in regards to the risks associated with even a small amount of asbestos exposure, the agency announced that it hopes to complete the remainder of the study by the end of 2014, reports an article in The Missoulian.

This particular study will help guide the clean-up of the asbestos-contaminated town of Libby and its surrounding areas, where hundreds have already died of asbestos-related diseases caused by exposure to vermiculite from the mines of W.R. Grace and Company, best known for manufacturing Zonolite insulation. Specifically, the document will help determine when clean-up work will be able to end at what many have described as the worst environmental disaster in the history of the United States.

Environmental Protection Agency toxicologist Deborah McKean says the EPA will need to handle some tasks given to them by their Science Advisory Board before completing the study. She hopes it won?t be much longer.

The EPA has been working on the asbestos problem in Libby since 1999. So far, about $447 million has been spent. This year, some 80 to 100 properties around town are scheduled to be cleaned but several hundred remain. The article notes that the mine site, just outside of town, has barely been touched yet.

In the meantime, W.R. Grace officials have called the EPA?s proposed new standards unreasonable and impossible to obtain. Though the agency has not yet responded to Grace?s questions on the issue, McKean says she expects relatively little ? if any ? change from the standard which states that even ?exceedingly low? concentrations of asbestos fibers - 0.00002 fibers of the mineral per cubic centimeter ? raise the risk of lung-scarring.

But while W.R. Grace and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dicker over clean-up specifics, the people of Libby, Montana merely want to see the nightmare end. Chances are it won?t anytime soon. The exposure to tainted vermiculite in Libby continued for decades before attention was called to the plight of the exposed individuals, many of whom have already died of mesothelioma cancer and complications due to asbestosis and other similar diseases.

In 2009, EPA administrator Lisa Jackson issued a first-of-its kind public health emergency declaration in Libby. Experts say that?ll be a while until the declaration is absolved, considering mesothelioma has a long latency period and it?s likely that more diagnoses will be made throughout the next few decades.

Vatican: Pope too weary at his age for the job

LONDON (AP) ? When he became pope at age 78, Benedict XVI was already the oldest pontiff elected in nearly 300 years. He's now 85, and in recent years he has slowed down significantly, cutting back his foreign travel and limiting his audiences.

The pope travels to the altar in St. Peter's Basilica on a moving platform to spare him the 100-yard (-meter) walk down the aisle. Occasionally he uses a cane. Late last year, people who were spending time with the pontiff emerged saying they found him weak and too tired to engage with what they were saying.

The Vatican stressed on Monday that no specific medical condition prompted Benedict's decision to become the first pontiff to resign in 600 years. Still, Benedict said his advanced age means he no longer has the necessary physical strength to lead the world's more than one billion Roman Catholics.

That Benedict is tired would be a perfectly normal diagnosis for an 85-year-old pope, even someone with no known serious health problems and a still-agile mind.

He has acknowledged having suffered a hemorrhagic stroke in 1991 that temporarily affected his vision, but he later made a full recovery. In 2009, the pope fell and suffered minor injuries when he broke one of his wrists while vacationing in the Alps.

A doctor familiar with the pope's medical team told The Associated Press on Monday that the pontiff has no grave or life-threatening illnesses. But, the doctor said, the pope ? like many men his age ? has suffered some prostate problems. Beyond that, the pope is simply old and tired, the doctor said on condition of anonymity.

According to the pope's brother Georg Ratzinger, the pontiff was told by his doctor not to take any more trans-Atlantic trips. In fact, the pontiff's only foreign trip this year was scheduled to be a July visit to Brazil for the church's World Youth Day.

Experts weren't surprised the pope's health problems were slowing him down.

"In someone who's 85 and has arthritis, the activities of being a pope will be a struggle," said Dr. Alan Silman, the medical director of Arthritis Research U.K. He said Pope Benedict most likely has osteoarthritis, which causes people to lose the cartilage at the end of their joints, making it difficult to move around without pain.

"It would be painful for him to kneel while he's praying and could be excruciating when he tries to get up again," Silman said, adding that for people with arthritis, even standing for long periods of time can be challenging.

Silman said some drugs could help ease the pain, but most would come with side effects such as drowsiness or stomach problems, which would likely be more serious in the elderly.

The doctor said it isn't clear whether the pope's arthritis would worsen with age. "It could be it's as bad as it's going to get," he said. "But it already sounds like he has it pretty bad and continuing with all the activities of being the pope won't help."

Joe Korner, a spokesman for Britain's Stroke Association, said having a mild stroke also could be a warning of a possible major stroke in the future. "I would imagine the pope has been warned this could happen and that he should make some changes to his lifestyle," Korner said, including reducing stress levels.

When he became pope, Benedict replaced John Paul, who died in 2005 at the age of 84. He was the Vatican's most-traveled pontiff, visiting 129 countries during his nearly 27-year papacy and had captured the world's affection like no other pope.

In the last year of his life, John Paul was forced to curtail his travels because of old age and illness, including trembling hands and slurred speech, an inability to walk or hold his head up, and other symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?: Berlin Review - The Hollywood ...

The Bottom Line

Lively Taiwanese dramedy pits repressed sexuality against longstanding family traditions.

Venue

Berlin Film Festival (Panorama Special)

Writer-Director

Arvin Chen

Cast

Richie Jen, Mavis Fan, Stone, Kimi Hsia, Lawrence Ko, Wong Ka Lok

BERLIN -- Hoping to answer the question posed by its titular Shirelles song -- which, as is de rigueur in any recent Asian film, is performed here in a full-length Karaoke version ? writer-director Arvin Chen?s Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? follows two Taiwanese couples trying to stick together amid emotional and sexual upheavals that threaten the sanctity of their safe, and hetero, relationships. Wry and whimsical, but perhaps too broad for artsy Western tastes, this ensemble romantic dramedy should see decent business in the East (Warner Bros. is releasing in Taiwan), with ancillary possibilities in other markets, including those catering to the LGBT set.

From its playful premiere sequence, which concludes with a character opening an umbrella and floating up to the sky, Tomorrow distinguishes itself from the kind of dark, Taipei-set stories that have filled fests and art-houses over the last few decades. Indeed, the American born-and-educated Chen?s debut feature, Au Revoir Tapei, was already a genre-jumping crossover, and his latest seems to tread in similar waters, sharing influences with both local classics (Edward Yang -- another purveyor of 60?s pop -- comes to mind) and works from Hollywood?s Golden Age, especially the Technicolor romances of Vincent Minelli and George Cukor.

But this lighthearted tale of repressed sexuality and marital woes seems to have a different kind of agenda, even if it often fits the mode of your typical mainstream rom-com, with the usual run of quid pro quos, mistaken identities and botched wedding plans.

The story focuses on two thirty-something pairs: On the one side there?s the affable optician, Weichung (Richie Jen), who?s been married for nine years to corporate clerk, Feng (Mavis Fan, excellent). And on the other there?s Weichung?s sister, Mandy (Kimi Hsia), a sexy maneater who?s decided to finally settle down and tie the knot with the friendly sad sack, San-San (Stone).

Of course, things are not so simple, starting with the fact that Weichung clearly has a past that?s far less straight than the bifocals he meticulously prepares in his shop. He crosses paths at his sis? rehearsal dinner with a flamboyant wedding photographer (Lawrence Ko, hilarious) who, despite the fact that he?s also married, is leading a double-life as a gay party boy, and advises Weichung to do the same. When a handsome young flight attendant (HK actor Wong Ka Lok) ventures into the man?s store, it?s love at first (near or far) sight, and although the stoic husband and dad tries to fight off his homoerotic urges, he can only hold out for so long.

Meanwhile, Mandy starts having second thoughts about her upcoming marriage, and they come to a head in a funny flashback that shows her freaking out during an all-too routine shopping trip to Carrefour. She decides to ditch San-San and lock herself indoors, binging on instant ramen and cheesy soap operas until she can figure out whether she?s really in love at all.

Directing with an easygoing, occasionally swoony style, Chen cuts back and forth between the various characters as they deal with their quashed desires and emotional predicaments, with the main plot-point pivoting on whether Weichung?s wife Feng, who is hoping to have a second child, will learn about her husband?s hidden sexual identity. The Mandy-San-San debacle is, on the other hand, a bit too cursory, and seems to be there mainly for comic relief and as a narrative framing device.

Indeed, more than anyone else, Feng seems to be the center of attention here, and the film inevitably wonders what she?ll do about the truth once she uncovers it. In other words, how can a society steeped in marital traditions deal with shifting cultural attitudes toward homosexuality? If Chen?s ultimate answer may seem like a copout to some, it?s perhaps less important than the fact that he?s raising the question at all, especially in this kind of carefree, commercially-minded movie.

Filled with colorful street scenes and candy-tinged interiors (courtesy of D.P. Hsia Shao-Yu, Return Ticket), Tomorrow reveals a Taipei that has rarely looked so jolly on screen, and the film coasts along to its final conflict at a fairly brisk pace, even if there are a few longueurs along the way. Still, when Chen stops to let Fan (Flying Swords of Dragon Gate) belt out her own alcohol-infused version of the title track (written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin), it?s the kind of indulgence we can all enjoy.
