If you know my eating preferences, you'd never know I was born and raised in Minnesota. What I mean is, I like spicy food. No, not the Minnesota spicy. The "kick you in the rear, smoke coming from your ears, brain scrambling" spicy. When I was younger, there was a store at the Mall of America called Calido Chile Traders. Their specialty was spicy foods; and lots of it. I'd beg my mom to go the MOA just so I could go there and sample all of the spicy treats, from sauces, to salsas…even candies! When I was older, I won the Buffalo Wild Wing Blazing by eating 12 "Blazin' Wings" in 6 minutes. Tabasco sauce is my favorite condiment. We had a habanero eating contest in culinary school, where I came in second by eating 3 habaneros. You get the picture.
I went to the State Fair this year and in the International Bazaar I came upon a vendor that sold all things spicy. But what he wasn't selling was what took my breath away. A live Bhut Jolokia (or Ghost Chili) plant. In 2007, Guinness World Records certified the Bhut Jolokia as the world's hottest chili pepper at 1,041,427 Scoville units. A jalapeno comes in at 6,000 and a habanero between 100,000 and 500,000. (A little more on Scoville units below.) I was blown away. The owner made a hot sauce with the chilis and asked me if I wanted a sample. I hesitated for a second but I asked myself when's the next time I'll have a chance to try a ghost chili pepper (or a form of it). He dipped a little plastic spoon into the bottle and handed it to me. I could see a little smirk on his face as I'm sure he was thinking "he doesn't know what he's gotten himself into!" I touched the tip of my tongue and tried just the tiniest bit. It was spicy, but I was a little disappointed. I put the rest of the spoon into my mouth and a split second later the heat started coming. It takes a second or two for you to feel the burn. I realized the burn was from the first tiny taste. My nose started running, my eyes got red and I got the hiccups almost immediately. Ok, this was spicy! It took about 10 minutes for me to regain my normal form, but during that time, my endorphins kicked into overdrive, giving me a feeling of well-being, which is what "Chili-Heads" live for. I thanked the man for the sample but passed on the sauce. Thirty dollars for a 4 oz. bottle was a little too rich for me. Besides, what would I do with it? I decided I'd just stick with my trusty Tabasco sauce.
A little on the Scoville Scale: The Scoville unit is a measurement of the spicy heat of a chili pepper. The number of Scoville heat units indicates the amount of capsaicin present, which is the oil in the chili that causes the heat. In the Scoville method, an alcohol extract of the capsaicin oil from a measured amount of dried pepper is added incrementally to a solution of sugar in water until the "heat" is just detectable by a panel of tasters. The degree of dilution gives its measure on the Scoville scale. For instance if a habanero has a rating of 200,000, this indicates that their extract must be diluted over 200,000 times before the capsaicin is undetectable.
One last thing; I recently read that the Ghost Chili isn't the hottest pepper in the world anymore. In February 2011, Guinness World Records awarded the title of "World's Hottest Chili" to the Infinity Chili grown in Grantham, England. But wait. Just a month ago the current "World's Hottest" was given to the Trinidad Scorpion Butch T, officially tested at 1,463,700 Scoville units! Just thinking about this gets my mouth watering. But where does it end?! I doubt it never will, and I love it!
Trinidad Scorpion Butch T Peppers

Christmastime is chock full of traditions and one of those is "The Colors of Christmas" concert at the Star Plaza Theatre, which brings together some of the world's greatest R&B vocalists for unique and ear-pleasing deliveries of their respective hits coupled with plenty of seasonal songs about snowmen, reindeer, Santa and the birth of Jesus Christ.
"When you talk about holiday traditions, this tour is one of them for me," said Peabo Bryson, whose soothing voice has been melting the hearts of women worldwide for years. "I think I have been on just about every "Colors' show there's been. I love being on this tour and working with all the wonderful singers."
Given that this year marks "Colors of Christmas" 20th anniversary, Bryson has clearly logged many miles and years with Stig Edgren of SEG Events, who created the successful national tour package in 1992 and still continues to produce it. Edgren recalled it all started with a single concert to benefit UNICEF and just snowballed. "The response to that first show was so good, we decided to add more dates and we have been touring with it every year since," he said.
Although in past years, "Colors of Christmas" traveled to as many as 25 cities, this year's tour has been scaled back to six. The volume of shows may have been trimmed back, but not the show's quality.
This year's tour not only includes Bryson, but also husband/wife vocal duo Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr., actress/singer Stephanie Mills plus three time Grammy winner and two time Oscar nominee, James Ingram.
"This is my fourth year on the 'Colors' tour," said McCoo, who with her husband of over 40 years, were co-founders of the iconic late 1960s soul-pop group The Fifth Dimension, before breaking away in the early 1970s. "I did two years with 'Colors of Christmas" by myself, then Billy came out with me last year. We're both back this year and it's great to be traveling together and singing these wonderful songs together during the Christmas season. We both love Christmastime and Christmas songs so much, especially those songs about the birth of Jesus."
McCoo and Davis, both devout Christians and missionaries, shared their secrets of staying happy, committed and in love with each other in their 2004 book, "Up, Up and Away…How We Found Love, Faith and Lasting Marriage in the Entertainment World" (Northfield Publishing), offering personal insight and advice on marriage and life, along with a heaping spoonful of spiritual encouragement. There is also the back story of their fabulous career, which has included a string of hits – "Aquarius/Let The Sunshine," "Wedding Bell Blues," "Up Up And Away," "Stoned Soul Picnic," etc. – with The Fifth Dimension; enjoying radio success as a vocal duo with songs like "You Don't Have To Be A Star Baby (To Be In My Show)," which aptly led to their co-hosting their own TV variety show on CBS, which opened the door for McCoo to famously host the mega-smash TV dance/music show, "Solid Gold" during the 1980s.
Though most musical artists abhor giving up control, the stars on "Colors Of Christmas" have no problem leaving the repertoire, staging and planning to Edgren. "Stig is in the driver's seat and we are along for the ride," chirped McCoo. "Stig produces a great show every year. He knows what he's doing. This show has a great balance," agreed Bryson, who grew up admiring and singing along to records by such soulful crooner idols of his youth as Nat King Cole and Sam Cooke.
"I pride myself on picking an interesting combination of Christmas songs, greatest hits, duets, trios…," said Edgren. "Of course, I run it all past the artists, but usually they defer to my program. As for the music, we generally rehearse for three days before leaving on tour. All the artists on the tour this year have done the show at some time in years past, so they all know the drill."
Bryson is a self-admitted romantic and a sucker for a great love song, who credits growing up with strong women in his life like his mother, aunt and sisters for enabling him to understand and connect with women as powerfully as he does, not only as a singer but also as a singing partner. Since breaking out in 1991, Bryson's biggest hits have been duets with the likes of Minnie Riperton, Natalie Cole, Melissa Manchester, Regina Belle, Celine Dion, and Roberta Flack. On this tour Bryson partners up with his female tour mates McCoo and Mills to reprise a few of those classic songs from his catalog, including two Disney film classics he won Grammy Awards for – "A Whole New World (Aladdin's Theme)" and "Beauty And The Beast."
"I wouldn't dare go on stage and not sing those two songs," he laughed. "This is a fun tour because we all do a few of the big songs the fans love, but you get a lot of great Christmas songs too." A highlight for Bryson, as well as McCoo and Davis, is when Edgren puts them together with the other performers. "By the end of the show, everyone has sung with everyone else," said McCoo, including ensemble moments where she, Davis, Bryson, Mills and Ingram harmonize together beautifully.
Bryson recalled his best Christmas memory while growing up in Greenville, South Carolina, was the one when his parents, who ran a boarding house, gave their children handmade and refurbished old toys commissioned from some of the out-of-work craftsmen who boarded with them. "That was a Christmas I will never forget," said Bryson. "I hope seeing 'Colors of Christmas' and hearing some of those old seasonal songs helps stir old memories of family, friends and good times for some of those in the audience. Because those kinds of memories will always keep you warm."

The Phils capped their 20-game run with a fantastic win last night, scoring eight times in the last two frames to top the Dodgers 10-9. The Phils got five hits and a walk in the bottom of the eighth to cut the LA lead to 9-6. In the ninth they loaded the bases and Ben Francisco hit a double-play ball that went through Casey Blake's legs for a critical error that helped the Phils plate two runs. Ruiz ended the game three pitches later when he blasted a bases clearing double off of the top of the wall in center field.
The Phillies have won 16 of their last 20 and are 64-50 on the season after beating the LA Dodgers 10-9 last night. The Phils take two of three in the series and are 14 games above .500 for the first time on the season. They remain in second place in the NL East and are two games behind the first place Braves.
Blanton got the start for the Phils and went 5 2/3 innings, allowing four runs on eight hits and four walks. All eight of the hits were singles and he struck out three.
Scott Podsednik singled to left to start the game and moved to second on a ground out by Ryan Theriot. Andre Ethier grounded to second and Podsednik went to third with two down. James Loney walked and Ronnie Belliard followed that with a single into center. Podsednik scored (1-0) and Loney took second. Matt Kemp was next and he singled to left, scoring Loney to make it 2-0 and sending Belliard to second. Jamey Carroll followed that and blooped a ball into center that fell in front of Werth. Belliard came in to score to put LA up 3-0 with the runners winding up at second and third when the throw came into third. Blanton walked Brad Ausmus intentionally to load the bases so he could pitch to the pitcher Clayton Kershaw. Kershaw grounded to second for the third out.
Blanton gets two of the first three batters to start the game, then allows three runs thanks to three singles and a pair of walks.
Podsednik started the second with a single, but Blanton got the next three behind him.
He threw a 1-2-3 third with the lead cut to 3-1 and a 1-2-3 fourth.
He started the fifth down 3-2. Theriot and Ethier started the inning with back-to-back singles, which put runners on first and third with nobody out. Blanton struck Loney out for the first out before Belliard hit a fly ball to left for the second. It was deep enough for Theriot to tag and score from third, extending the LA lead to 4-2. Kemp lined softly to second for the third out.
Ausmus singled with one out in the sixth and Kershaw bunted him to second with the second out. Podsednik and Theriot walked back-to-back, loading the bases for Ethier. Durbin came in to pitch to Ethier and got him to ground to second on a 1-1 pitch to end the frame.
Durbin comes in to face the tough lefty with the Phils down to a single lefty in the pen after Bastardo is sent down. Worked out great that time, but it's not a formula for continued success. The Phillies have a problem with left-handed relief out of the bullpen. I agree there's a good chance that Bastardo isn't the answer, but somebody has to be.
Durbin was back for the seventh. Loney led off with a single. Durbin got Belliard on a pop to Rollins for the first out before Kemp homered to left, putting LA up 6-2. Carroll walked and stole second, but Durbin struck out Ausmus and got Kershaw on a ground ball to short for the third out.
Kemp's homer was the only extra-base hit of the game for LA.
Romero started the eighth. Podsednik led off and hit a ball to first that Sweeney butchered for an error. Theriot flew to right for the first out before Ethier moved Podsednik to second with a single. Romero struck the lefty Loney out swinging for the second out and Contreras came in to pitch to the righty Casey Blake. Blake singled to center, scoring Podsednik (7-2) and moving Ethier to third. Kemp followed that and blooped a ball high down the right field line that fell for another single. Ethier scored (8-2) and Blake went to third. Carroll singled to left and Blake scored. 9-2. Contreras struck out swinging for the third out.
At least Romero didn't walk anyone. The Sweeney error was pretty big in the inning. Without the Dodgers get a single but go down without any damage. Contreras had a miserable frame, facing four batters and allowing three hits before finally striking out Ausmus. Kemp's hit was ridiculous.
Baez pitched the ninth with the Phils down 9-6. He allowed a leadoff single to Jay Gibbons, but got Podsednik to hit into a double-play behind him and then got Theriot to ground to second.
The Phillies lineup against lefty Clayton Kershaw went (1) Rollins (2) Ibanez (3) Polanco (4) Sweeney (5) Werth (6) Francisco (7) Ruiz (8) Valdez. That one's not a keeper. Francisco in right against the lefty and Sweeney at first. Ibanez hits second in the order, which is too high, especially against a lefty. Valdez at second.
The Phils were down 3-0 when they hit in the first. Polanco and Sweeney singled back-to-back with two outs, putting men on first and third for Werth. Werth flew to center to leave the runners stranded.
Ruiz singled with one out in the second and moved to third when Valdez followed with a double. Blanton hit a ball softly to third for the second out. Ruiz came in to score to cut the lead to 3-1 with Valdez moving to third. Rollins grounded to third for the third out.
The Phils went in order in the third.
Werth started the fourth with a single. Francisco struck out swinging for the first out before Werth stole second. Ruiz singled into center and Werth scored, cutting the lead to 3-2. Valdez and Blanton both grounded out to end the inning.
Down 4-2, the Phillies went in order in the fifth.
They went in order again in the sixth.
They were losing 6-2 when they hit in the seventh. Ruiz and Valdez went down to start the inning. With two outs and Kershaw still on the mound for LA, Victorino hit for Durbin and drew a walk. He stole second before Rollins walked, bringing Ibanez to the plate with two outs and men on first and second. Lefty Hong-Chih Kuo took over for Kershaw and got Ibanez on a fly ball to left to leave both men stranded.
They were down 9-2 when they hit in the eighth. Polanco and Sweeney singled back-to-back and moved up to second and third on a wild pitch by righty Ronald Belisario. Werth singled into center and both runners scored. 9-4. Werth took second on a balk before Francisco doubled to left, scoring Werth. 9-5. Righty Kenley Jansen took over for Belisario and got Ruiz on a ground ball to third for the first out. Valdez singled to center and Francisco scored. 9-6. Brown hit for Contreras and lefty George Sherrill came in to pitch to him, getting Brown on a fly ball to left for the second out. Rollins walked, putting men on first and second for Ibanez, but Sherrill got Ibanez to ground to second and end the inning.
Jonathan Broxton started the ninth with a 9-6 lead. He hit Polanco and walked Sweeney and Werth, loading the bases for Francisco. Francisco hit a double-play ball to Blake at third, but instead of getting the double-play the ball went through Blake's legs and into left field. Polanco and Sweeney scored, making it 9-8, with Werth on second and Francisco on first for Ruiz. Ruiz blasted a 1-1 pitch high off the wall in left-center. Werth and Francisco both scored without a throw. Phils win 10-9.
Broxton set it up by letting the first three runners reach, but the error by Blake changed the game.
Rollins was 0-for-3 with two walks in the game and 3-for-12 in the series. 248/344/372 for the season.
Ibanez was 0-for-5 and left four men on base. He shouldn't be hitting second against a lefty. 3-for-12 with a double and two walks in the series.
Polanco was 2-for-4 last night. 4-for-11 with four singles in the series. 321/352/431 on the year.
Sweeney 2-for-4 in the game and 3-for-6 with a walk in the series. He's 5-for-15 with the Phils.
Werth was 2-for-4 with a walk and two RBI last night. 4-for-10 with four walks in the series. 304/397/528 for the season.
Francisco 1-for-5 with a double and two RBI. 1-for-6 in the set. 254/327/415 on the year. Brown was 0-for-1 last night and 2-for-8 with a double and a home run in the series. 9-for-39 for the season with a .233 on-base percentage.
Ruiz was 3-for-5 with a double and three RBI last night. 3-for-11 in the series. 294/385/431 on the season.
Valdez was 2-for-4 with a double last night. 5-for-11 with a double and a triple in the series. 254/283/367 for the season. 342/375/421 in August.
Cole Hamels (7-8, 3.45) faces righty RA Dickey (7-5, 2.65) tonight. Hamels has a 2.43 ERA and a 1.08 ratio over his last starts and has struck out 61 in 55 2/3 innings in those games. Dickey's most recent start came against the Phillies on Sunday and he was charged with six runs in three innings. Prior to that start he had posted a 1.70 ERA in his last seven outings. He's thrown 102 innings this season and walked nine right-handed batters.
The next update to Philliesflow will be around August 24.

UAA Civil Engineering professor Aaron Dotson will present his research on protein recovery from stickwater through ceramic membranes, and what it means for the Alaska fish processing industry at this week's seminar, Friday, March 22, 2013.
Friday Seminar Series
- What: Ceramic Membranes for Protein Recovery and Salt Rejection in Wastewater from Fish Meal Production
- Who: Aaron Dotson, Assistant Professor UAA – Civil Engineering and Affiliate Professor UAF-WERC
- When: 3:30-4:30 p.m., Friday, Mar. 22
- Where: 531 Duckering
Stickwater is the bulk liquid waste product from fish meal processing plants. Stickwater is either concentrated in energy intensive multiple effect evaporators for further solids (e.g. protein) recovery or discharged directly to the marine environment. Stickwater contains total dissolved solids that consist of protein content of known market value. A ceramic membrane is a unit process that could be incorporated into existing fish meal processing plants prior to direct fired rotary drum dryers, potentially resulting in increased solids recovery and reduced energy consumption. The objective of this research was to assess the dissolved solids recovery and permeate flux performance of stickwater through tubular ceramic membranes with nominal pore sizes ranging from 50kDa to 1.4μm. In pursuit of this objective bench-scale critical flux analysis using a membrane pilot skid located in the Environmental Quality Laboratory for Natural and Engineered Systems (EQLNES) on the University of Alaska Anchorage campus was performed. Furthermore, the fluid was evaluated for rheological character as it was hypothesized the stickwater is a non-newtonian fluid. This presentation will present the results and analysis to date of this work and provide insight into the application this process from a holistic view in the context of the Alaska fish processing industry.

Adventurous gardeners everywhere, welcome to our website for 2014. In business for 29 years, and gardeners for many more, we are a popular family owned destination nursery in southwestern Illinois specializing in plants that thrive in the hot and humid summer climate of the lower Midwest. Enter our website for truly unique plants, many introduced to the greater St. Louis area by us. Unlike the X-Marts, we seek out the new and unusual and our passion is displaying them in creative and innovative ways.
Our plant list continues to grow, trial tested in containers and display beds throughout the nursery area. We adore nature friendly plants that attract beneficial insects and birds, and our list reflects that passion.
New for 2014 We are seeding gravel beds around the retail area with pollen and nectar rich annuals and larval host plants and native perennials to nourish our local insect population. This in turn will feed the many beautiful songbirds you see when you visit our nursery. We love nature and are committed to growing plants that benefit our local wildlife. We, in turn, are blessed by their presence.
Cottage Garden is also renowned for our hummingbird plant collection that includes a large number of salvia, cuphea, justicia ('shrimp' plants), agastache (hummingbird mint) and winter hardy native perennials. Anytime from mid-April through mid-October you are sure to see many ruby throated hummers dipping and diving into our many magical display containers and garden beds for nectar and insects. Our gardens are a work in progress, evolving to become low maintenance yet colorful and interesting over a long season. We know you will enjoy them and be inspired!
Please join our email list if you wish to receive updates on new plants, sales and promotions. And Follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/coolplants
A word about our plants. We grow all of our plant material here on our prairie nursery in the beautiful southwest countryside of Macoupin County. Perennials are exposed to a hardy outdoor climate year round, and will not require fussy acclimating when you take them home. Plant them out directly and watch them take off. Annuals and tropicals are greenhouse grown and exposed to the cooler temperatures of spring before you purchase them. They should be planted out when night time temperatures remain above 50-55 degrees fahrenheit. We do not use growth retardants or dangerous neonicotinoids destructive to bees and insects on any of our plants. A porous bark-based potting mix promotes optimal growth so you can expect a fast and vigorous 'take off' when you plant them in your own garden.
WHAT'S NEW FOR 2014 This year we have over 150 new varieties of tropicals/annuals and succulents. Container sizes range from 4" pots to 3 and 5 gallon containers. How about some jaw dropping 'thrillers'? Bring on the spectacular new elephant ears from Brian Williams Colocasia 'Gigante' series and Dr. John Cho's Royal Hawaiian Colocasia series, featuring boldly beautiful foliage, exotic beauty and a glamorous living architecture ideal for containers and garden beds. 'Victorius Gigante' is a phenomenol new 'ear' with puckered, humongous leaves resembling an Amazonian water lily. The blush green leaves curl upward along the edges and are held aloft on sturdy red stems, simply breathtaking! 'Dragon Heart Gigante' is another impossibly beautiful selection with smoky black, huge, heart shaped leaves. Colocasia 'White Lava' boasts seer-suckered deep green leaves with bold, creamy white veins and bright red leaf stems, one of the finest variegated elephant ears I have seen. Colocasia 'Maui Gold' is a sun tolerant 'ear' with chartreuse – gold leaves that will not burn in our intense summer sun. These spectacular new elephant ears thrive in heat and humidity, tolerating full sun to half day sun.
Ramp up the container excitement with Juannulloa aurantiaca (Gold Finger) this summer. The exotic, interesting inflated orange tubular blooms evolved to be pollinated by hummingbirds in its Central American haunts, an unusual and entertaining patio specimen. Another great container tropical new this spring is Mussaenda 'Dark Pink', a shrubby poinsettia relative with awesome large pink flowers loved by butterflies.
Other heat tolerant tropicals and annuals include Tecoma x stans 'Bells of Fire' bearing red-orange trumpet shaped blooms, and Tecoma x stans 'Lydia', with canary yellow fragrant blooms, both celebrated new hybrids of trumpet bush with a more compact habit, blooming at an early age. Tecoma 'Sparky' lives up to its name with bright yellow blossoms eye zoned in red. Salvia splendens 'Peach' offers soft peach- hued blossoms that cover the plant spring through fall, morphing into a three foot wide and high clump covered in emerald green leaves. This Salvia splendens selection prefers partial shade and certainly afternoon shade, a Cottage Garden exclusive that hummingbirds love! American native annuals are hard to come by, but we are offering a few selections of the species. Cleome serrulata 'Solo' is a diminutive plant with charming magenta/white blooms typical of the genus. Gaillardia pulchella 'Punch Bowl' is a lovely pink selection of our native blanketflower. Both are attractive to beneficial insects.
Our new Sun/Shade Perennials collection offers dependable heat and drought tolerant plants, many derived from American native plants. Newcomers include Asclepias syriaca (Common milkweed), Boltonia 'Jim Crockett', Clematis virginiana, Pycnanthemum pilosum, Scutellaria ovata (heartleaf skullcap) and native perennials grown from seed collected in our local Illinois community by Ken Schaal of Bluestem Nursery. These plants are noted as 'Illinois Ecotype' in our plant lists. We are also offering a selection of native woody plants from Forrest Keeling, essential for the modern eco sensitive garden. Check into our Sun and Shade Perennials pages for many new varieties for 2014.
We are often asked 'When are all plants available?' Availability fluctuates since plants grow at their own pace. We suggest you call or email for availability on specific plants before visiting. Availability peaks from April onward. We look forward to seeing you this spring and summer!

Green Bay, WI (WTAQ) - Despite having courts, basketball hasn't been played at a Green Bay park in a year, but that's likely about to change.
Green Bay's Parks Committee voted Wednesday to recommend restoring the basketball rims at Fisk Park, near West High School.
Green Bay Police say crimes were common at Fisk Park until an officer decided to remove the park's basketball rims last summer.
If the city council backs up the recommendation of the parks committee, the hoops could be up by August 1st.

A family is suing a nursing home because it brought in a stripper to entertain the elderly residents.
86-year-old Bernice Youngblood was seen stuffing dollar bills into a stripper's tight shorts and she says she was forced to get a lap dance inside the East Neck nursing home in West Babylon.
"I felt terrible. I was shaking," she said.
Youngblood's son claims he found the racy picture a few months after the October 2012 incident.
Attorney John Ray filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit claiming Youngblood, who suffers from dementia, experienced extreme emotional distress after the show.
"These performances were cruel and were meant to titillate the perverse pleasures of the staff," said Ray.
The nursing home attorney claims the $250 strip show was approved and paid for by the residents.
"The activity council, which consists of 16 residents of the nursing home, requested the activity and consented to the activity," said Howard Fensterman, an attorney for the nursing home.
Some enjoyed the entertainment.
"It was a fun night," said Louise.
Others are disgusted.
"My mom is here. And to have someone in charge allow something like that -- there are no morals to that. There's no integrity."
The Youngblood family filed a suit last year, but it was dismissed. Now they're filing for a second time while Bernice is still living in the facility.

Before we had kids, my BFF and I once saw a child approach his mother in a Burlingame boutique, pull her shirt up and nurse right there on the spot.
On another outing, in San Francisco's Metreon arcade of all places, we watched a kid probably age four, sprawled out sideways on mom's lap enjoying the milky goods.
We agreed at the time that once a kid could wear shoes, it was too late to nurse.
Which makes the hubbub about the Time magazine cover rather amusing. It shows a toddler, standing on a chair to nurse.
Is there anything really new about that? Kids who can wear shoes nurse, yeah. Some mommies do it longer than others.
I'll have to say after having two kids, my previously uninformed views shifted quite a bit. I could understand, a little bit, why it's hard to cut off the kid.
I loved nursing my babies. After the pain faded (yeah, no one mentions that it really hurts — at first), it became absolutely awesome.
No bottles to wash, wonderful for bonding, completely portable and sooo healthy.
My aforementioned BFF had a preemie and got a little cheated on the BF action because arriving at 25 weeks he couldn't manage even that. But she was a breast pump champ, milking out gallons of the stuff for her little 2-pounder who's now a healthy 10-year-old starting pitcher on his baseball team.
I cut my daughter off at 16 months, because, yes, teeth hurt. And yes, when they can ask for it, I'm a little bit done. Plus, I wanted to have a second one.
With my son, I take pride in knowing that my breastmilk might have helped saved his life, as he was severely ill a week after birth. His doc. called my milk "gold." But how quickly they forget! At four months old he had better things to do. I was back to work, and he was more interested in checking out what his big sis was doing.
So what do you think? How did you handle your babies? Did they self-wean or did you cut them off yourself?

Why does the American government meddle in everything?
Arrogance and ambition prevents healthy thinking... people have died because of the American government's ambition... however humanity is still silent.
Is there a solution for this?
Topics: American society ambition america arrogant society
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Nov 24 2012: RE: "it's astounding . . ."
Apparently you disagree with my response given specifically to Mr. Lee. Do you have anything more substantial to contribute than an arbitrary, non-specific, unsolicited, irrelevant personal assessment of my intellectual acuity? Your response adds nothing to the debate by way of enlightenment.
Nov 24 2012: * Israel turns down American "help".
* "Iraq was held hostage by a savage, maniac dictator who needed to be put out of a job." Savage and maniacal in whose eyes? Many have said this about Bush also. In any case, Saddam was made powerful with America's meddlesome support.
* Afghanistan and Pakistan: I agree with you -- for the current scenario. America is looking out for its own security, as it should. I still disagree with the American means of doing it. But, to start with, America and USSR ruined Afghanistan. In any case, Osama Bin Laden was made powerful with America's meddlesome support.
* Korea and Vietnam: There are many people asking for help, all the time. The American government only helps when it can spread its imperialist wings.
* The malignancy of communism is alive and well within America. It is just called by a different name.
* America is a totalitarian ruler too.
Nov 24 2012: I categorically reject everything you just said with the exception of the part where you exressed ageement with me. If you don't see a difference between President Bush and Hussein I think you are not being serious. One used poison gas on his own citizens. The other tracked him down and and turned him over to the authorities who promptly hung him. Do you know what Imperialism looks like?. . . there are colonies sworn to loyalty to the imperialist conqueror. Name the US colonies for me please. Communism may be alive in America, but it only thrives in the protective artificial atmosphere of our institutions of higher learning. America is not totalitarian.
Nov 25 2012: References for my statements:
1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51-KA-Nc3_k
2. http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Iraq/Saddam_MadeInUSA.html the article has enough references of its own. Also http://usiraq.procon.org/view.answers.php?questionID=000887
3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Cyclone. I was wrong about Osama Bin Laden. The US "only" supported the mujaheddin.
4. I'll not go on about Korea and Vietnam. My own knowledge is patchy.
5. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKjPI6no5ng
6. http://thewarningsigns.blogspot.com/2011/04/67-year-old-man-arrested-for-minting.html or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Dollar#Legal_issues
The links I have provided are only a small sampling.
American totalitarianism is like the apocryphal frog in boiling water.
Nov 25 2012: 1) No disagreement here. Israel wants , and needs, our technology, not our troops.
2) Absolutely yes we did arm Iraq as an ally against Iran.
3) Absolutely yes we did arm the mujahideen as allies against the communists.
5) I see no relevance to this debate in this Obama rhetoric.
6) Passing off silver coins as US currency is illegal. Is prosecuting counterfeit violations meddling?
7) Evidence indicates an intent to deceive buyers about coins being official US currency.
Finally, the meaning or relevance of your remark about an "apocryphal frog" escapes me completely.
Nov 25 2012: 1. I don't know what you mean by "our" technology. Technology has ceased to be the dominion of a handful of countries. Many multinationals of US and European origin who have huge research centers in Israel. If you meant weapons made by US companies, and Israel pays with their own money, the US would still not be said to be "supporting" Israel.
2 & 3. Why did you disagree with me earlier? I am completely confused.
5. Don't you think that that point of view is "communist"? The fact that Obama says it so openly, and so many Americans agree with it, and want the state to do more, indicates that communist ideologies are endemic in the US.
6. No one passed it off as US currency. The were not counterfeit: they did not pretend to be something they are not. It is currency, just thy way bitcoin is. By "US currency", do you mean "made by the US government"? The people who made Liberty Dollars hate the government. Why would they even want to pass it off as US currency? Please point me to the evidence.
US totalitarianism is happening very slowly. People's rights are being taken away in little bits. That's why most people don't notice, and think the US is still the land of the free. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog
Nov 25 2012: Someday I will learn to communicate clearly in few words. Sorry for the confusion. I'll try again:
1) I was a weapons designer for several prime contractors to the Pentagon. The Israelis were often "the customer". That I know from experience. The Iron Dome is our technology. The US supports Israel, period!
2 &3) I did not disagree that we armed those two, I disagree that we knew Sadaam was a homocidal maniac when we armed him. (We KNOW he had WMD, we sold them to him, they are buried somewhere in Iraq.) The mujahadeen were enemies of our enemy, aka our strategic friend, so we armed them to impede our enemy. That's good, proven strategy!
5) I differentiate between communism and socialism. Obama is the latter as are 47% of Americans.
6) The charges state there was an affort to misrepresent the coins as US currency. Perhaps they are unfounded, but they are the basis of prosecution.
Finally, agreed, the US is becoming socialist, but that is not the same as totalitarian. We still have checks and balances which are non-existent in a dictatorship, like Egypt is about to become.
Thanks for being patient!
Nov 26 2012: 2 & 3. This is exactly what most people discussing here call "meddling" :-) As for "good, proven strategy", empire building has always proven to be bad strategy, whether done by Americans or by Russians. This policy is now biting the US back.
Now, not directly related to the main topic of discussion:
5. Agreed, there is a difference between communism and socialism. But none of the "communist countries" were communist. They were all socialist.
6. Some of us, especially the free-market people, think that the existence of the federal reserve is an interference in the internal affairs.
7. I get the impression that "checks and balances" has become just eyewash. I'm not in the US, and therefore somewhat ignorant. But can you give me recent examples of where these checks and balances worked?
Nov 26 2012: Obama told the leader of Tibet recently that he wished he could circumvent Congress to achieve his purposes. That is how a check works.
EDIT: I can't find the Tibet report so I want to change the reference to a speech Barak Hussein Obama gave to Latinos recently where he siad he wished he could circumvent Congress, but added "that's not the way our Democracy (Note: the US, which he is the Chief Executive of, is not a democracy, it is a Representative Republic) works".

Customer Raves & Reviews
Love how much you can personalize them!
Field of Love Save the Date Magnets After having received Save the Date magnets from Magnet Street from two friends, and countless searches across other companies, I kept coming back to Magnet Street to create my designs. I love that you can change the colors and fonts to anything you want, not just a pre-determined 5 or 6 colors that other companies let you pick from. This really let me feel like these were MY Save the Dates that no one else would have. The online customer service team is fantastic as well, answering any questions I had as I designed. Once they were ordered, they shipped very quickly to my parents' house in Ohio (I live in the UK.) The quality is very good and I liked the box of extras that it came with. My only complaint is they don't deliver to the UK, so all my orders will have to be shipped to my parents.
Beautiful save the date
Romantic Ruche Save the Date Magnets I recently visited Costa Rica and I took a picture for my Save the Dates/ invitations and I am so glad I did.

Adele's James Bond theme Skyfall has shot to the top of the iTunes chart in a matter of hours.
The songstress made the single available to download on Friday at precisely 0.07pm in keeping with the Bond theme.
It's not clear how long the singing superstar will remain at the top. Paul McCartney, Tom Jones and Madonna all failed to hit the number one spot with their Bond tunes .
Despite this, the bookies are setting a healthy figure of 1/2 for the singer to reach the top of the charts.
The song is Adele's first since reaching global fame with second album 21 early last year.

For many large organizations, success with business intelligence (BI) and information applications such as enterprise reporting requires a coordinated effort across the dimensions of people, processes, technology and, of course, data. The complexity of real-world BI continues to grow with the increasing demand for information at all levels of business, new data formats and presentation requirements, and expertise to develop and maintain these new wide-scale BI applications. Fortunately, best practices and techniques have been developed to achieve the mission of BI while overcoming these key implementation challenges. This article examines some of these methods and the state of BI from the implementation perspective, introducing the BI center of excellence (CoE) delivery approach that not only offers a model for addressing key BI deployment, integration and adoption challenges, but also can be used to drive self-service initiatives. Given their potential scope, we also propose a new framework for building a business case for a CoE and other enterprise-level BI projects, and then provide a case study that illustrates real-world BI concepts and a CoE in action.

Art or basketball?
The city of Sacramento says it can do both.
Reacting to concerns that subsidizing a new downtown sports arena could hurt funding for the arts, the City Council last week delivered a boost to some of the city's marquee cultural organizations and committed to helping others in coming months.
Council members had requested a discussion of how the city is supporting cultural amenities when they voted to approve a $258 million contribution to a proposed new Kings arena at the Downtown Plaza. Some council members privately have expressed concern that the city's plan to borrow huge sums against future parking revenue to pay for the arena could jeopardize plans for theaters and museums.
By a 7-1 vote Tuesday, the council set aside $8.5 million toward the renovation of the Community Center Theater, dedicated up to $5 million for a renovated facility for the Sacramento Ballet, Sacramento Philharmonic Orchestra and Sacramento Opera, and voted to forgive up to $7.5 million in loans to the Crocker Art Museum.
The council also directed staff members to continue working with the operators of the B Street Theatre on financing plans for a new performing arts center in midtown.
"This is not a zero-sum game," said Councilman Steve Hansen, who represents the central city. "We can do more than two things at once."
Representatives of several arts groups praised the council's action while also throwing their support behind the proposed arena.
"Thank you for proving that arts and sports can all live together," said Richard Lewis, executive producer of the California Musical Theatre.
The council vote was not unanimous. Councilwoman Bonnie Pannell abstained from voting and Councilman Darrell Fong voted against the arts-funding plan.
Fong, who also opposed the arena-financing package, said he supports the art projects and the Community Center Theater renovation. However, the Crocker debt refinancing was not proposed until Tuesday night, and Fong said he hadn't been adequately briefed on the details.
"I have concerns (about) how much debt this is going to create for the city," Fong said.
On Tuesday evening, the city offered to forgive $7.5 million of $10 million in loans it made to the Crocker to help the facility complete its $122 million expansion in 2010. To qualify for the loan forgiveness, the museum will need to raise $2.5 million for its endowment.
City officials said forgiving the debt won't affect the city's general fund or result in service cuts.
In return for the loan forgiveness, the city-owned museum also agreed to give up the fees from a parking lot across O Street from its main entrance. That lot produces $200,000 each year for the museum, money that will now be filtered into a city-run fund to support arts facilities.
The city has included that parking lot in the arena-financing plan. As a result, it would receive the parking fees only until the space is granted to the private investment team seeking to build the arena. Assuming that team's bid to keep the NBA's Kings in Sacramento is successful, the shift would happen next year, when the environmental review for the arena is completed, said Assistant City Manager John Dangberg.
Crocker officials lauded the new loan arrangement. Lial Jones, the museum's director, said the Crocker's budget is much smaller than other art museums in North America. As a result, she said the Crocker needs to raise between $3 million and $4 million a year just to run the museum, which hosts 250,000 visitors annually.
Steve Mills, president of the Crocker Art Museum Association board, said the city's effort to leverage private investment in the Crocker mirrors what Sacramento is trying to do on a grander scale with the arena.
"Just as that project (the arena) deserves support and recognition of the many benefits it will provide in creating a strong and dynamic downtown, the Crocker also needs further support," he said.
While the expanded Crocker has become the jewel of Sacramento's cultural scene, the city has yet to succeed in upgrading its 39-year-old Community Center Theater despite a decade of effort.
The theater sits prominently on L Street, next to the Sacramento Convention Center, and houses the city's four major performing arts groups: the California Musical Theatre, the Sacramento Philharmonic Orchestra, the Sacramento Ballet and the Sacramento Opera.
City officials say it needs $50 million worth of upgrades, including major renovations required to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Construction documents for the project show a revamped 2,400-seat theater and large windows replacing the building's current concrete facade.
While the city has a renovation plan, it's still $15 million to $20 million short of the money needed to execute the plan, said Barbara Bonebrake, director of the city's Convention, Culture and Leisure Department. That gap narrowed last week, when the council dedicated $8.5 million from shuttered tax assessment districts to the project.
City officials said they hope a naming-rights deal and private donations would fill in the rest. They expect to bring a detailed financing plan for the project to the City Council in September. If approved, construction could begin by next summer, Bonebrake said.
The council also decided Tuesday to throw its support behind the Studios for the Performing Arts, which would house rehearsal space for the Sacramento Ballet and offices for it, the musical theater, orchestra and opera. Those organizations have abandoned a plan to construct a $26 million facility at 14th and H streets and instead want to renovate the Fremont School on N Street.
To help that cause, the city will transfer $2.5 million it receives for maintaining the Cal-EPA building next to City Hall money that has been used for other capital improvements in the past. Another $2.5 million could go to the project from the repayment of remaining loans by the Crocker.
While no direct assistance was given to the new B Street Theatre, the council directed staff members to work with theater officials in developing a financing plan for the $24 million project at Capitol Avenue and 27th Street. Bill Blake, B Street's managing director, said the theater needs to raise another $6.8 million.
Blake said the council's vote Tuesday was about more than an arena or investing in arts programs.
"The council is sending a message that this opportunity in front of us is about the central city of Sacramento," he said. "We can make some really significant and important changes to our central city to improve it with arts and culture and entertainment.
"We're starting to paint a picture of what the next 20 years of this city are going to look like."

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - State officials are giving the owner of a gasoline pipeline until January 4th to propose a new water supply for Jackson area residents affected by a major pipeline leak in July.
The DNR said the West Shore Pipeline Company and its engineering consultant must analyze options for feasible water supplies – and then recommend one.
The Jackson Town Board in Washington County has proposed three options – extending the village of Jackson's water – creating a sanitary district for the town to distribute water – or creating new residential wells shared by no more than five households.
The DNR will provide information and take comments from residents. If the Town Board does not like the company's plan, it would have until March eighth to endorse a different choice. The DNR will announce the final option on March 29th.
Almost 55,000 gallons of gasoline spilled from the pipeline in mid-July. Much of it landed in a farm pasture, and 27 residential wells were contaminated along with two non-residential wells.
About 150 residents have filed a lawsuit alleging potential health concerns and declines in property values.
The pipeline runs from northwest Indiana to Chicago and Milwaukee and up to Green Bay, with a branch to Madison.
After the spill occurred, gas retailers in the Green Bay area were scrambling to get fuel from other places.
Governor Scott Walker had to get involved, temporarily exempting weekly driving limits for fuel truck operators. But the outage only lasted a couple days – not as long as feared.

The Iranian Chargé in London is being informed now that we require the immediate closure of the Iranian Embassy in London and that all Iranian diplomatic staff must leave the United Kingdom within the next 48 hours. If any country makes it impossible for us to operate on their soil they cannot expect to have a functioning Embassy here.British Foreign Secretary William Hague • Warning Iran to close its embassy, in a ratcheting-up of tensions between the two countries a day after activists raided the British Embassy in Tehran, upset over new sanctions against Iran. Hague was careful to emphasize diplomatic ties still exist between the two countries: "This does not amount to the severing of diplomatic relations in their entirety," he said. "It is action that reduces our relations with Iran to the lowest level consistent with the maintenance of diplomatic relations." In other words, they may get a phone call, but don't expect it to be friendly. source (via • follow)

A recent ruling by Europe's top court has given its people a "right to be forgotten." Google and other search engines must now delete "inadequate, irrelevant, or no longer relevant, or excessive" information from search queries when a European individual requests it, even when the info is true. This isn't a classic case of censorship: the "offending" pages produced by newspapers and other websites will go untouched. Google and the other search engines just won't be allowed to link to them.
The court has largely left to the search engines how best to handle requests to decouple the names of petitioners from search results served, which has already produced major confusion, as well as a comically passive-aggressive response from Google, which has received more than 70,000 requests in the opening round, with 1,000 said to be arriving daily. (See this Washington Post editorial for a few examples of people who have succeeded in persuading Google to "delist" certain search results.)
How did a right to be forgotten become enshrined, even in a place as retrograde as Europe? If you've lived in a village or even a small town, you probably learned the hard way that privacy has never existed in the original state of nature. Everybody in a small town knows that you drink, how much you drink, and what brand, thanks to that rumor-mongering liquor-store clerk. They know where you sleep at night, who you sleep with, and whether your nights are restful or rambunctious because the local pharmacy tech gossips about your Ambien and Viagra prescriptions. The librarian knows what books you've checked out of the local library, the local merchants recall having rejected your overextended credit card, and they all swap this information like chattering birds on a wire.
That big, fat, distributed dossier can't be suppressed. Traditionally, the best way to escape small-town nosiness was to light out for the nearest city, where personal information couldn't be collected so cheaply and couldn't be shared as efficiently. It also helped, of course, that the city's million other inhabitants care not at all about you, and your neighbors barely know you exist. When you did get caught doing something embarrassing, the newspapers and court records might trap it in ink. Those who possess good memories might remember your indiscretion and blab about it. But retrieving all that information and maintaining it was too damned expensive. The only American institution that justified the cost of keeping close tabs on the personal lives of the human hordes was the Federal Bureau of Investigation, whose agents and hired clipping services followed thousands.
But the bliss of being an unknown cog in a big city turned out to be temporary glitch, remedied by technology. In the early 1970s, LexisNexis arrived to digitize news and court cases, driving down the cost of information retrieval and encouraging newspapers and other information sources to add their troves to the pile, which it resold at high prices. Not long after, credit bureaus commenced swallowing financial data about the public by the terabyte and regurgitating it for clients. The commercial Web, which arrived in the mid-1990s, drove the cost-curve of information retrieval down and also democratized it to the point that you can download human backstories by the millions -- many of them revealing -- after keystroking a few search terms into Google.
