The GameCube (ゲームキューブ Gēmukyūbu?, officially called Nintendo GameCube, abbreviated NGC in Japan and GCN in North America) is a video game console released by Nintendo on September 14, 2001, in Japan and November 18, 2001, in North America. It was later released worldwide in 2002. The sixth-generation console was the successor to the Nintendo 64 and competed with Sony's PlayStation 2, Microsoft's Xbox, and Sega's Dreamcast.
The GameCube was the first Nintendo console to use optical discs for its primary storage medium. The discs are similar to the miniDVD format, and as a result of their smaller size, the system was not designed to play standard DVDs or audio CDs. Nintendo also introduced a variety of connectivity options for the GameCube. It was the first Nintendo console to support online gaming, a feature that required the use of an add-on broadband or modem adapter sold separately. Game support and availability of the adapter was, however, very limited. The GameCube also supported connectivity to the Game Boy Advance, allowing players to access exclusive in-game features using the handheld as a second screen and controller.
Reception of the GameCube was generally mixed. Some praised the extensive software library and high-quality games, while others criticized the console's exterior design and lack of features. The GameCube sold approximately 22 million units worldwide before being discontinued in 2007. Its successor, the Wii, was released in November 2006.
Nintendo began providing development kits to game developers for a new video game console codenamed "Project Dolphin" as early as May 1999.[7] The console was announced as the Nintendo GameCube at a press conference in Japan on August 24, 2000.[8] Abbreviated NGC in Japan[9] and GCN in North America,[10] Nintendo unveiled its software lineup for the sixth-generation console at E3 2001, focusing on 15 launch titles that included Luigi's Mansion, Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader.[11] Several titles that were originally scheduled to launch with the console were delayed.[12] It was also the first console in the company's history not to offer a Mario platform title at launch.[13]
Prior to the Nintendo GameCube's release, Nintendo focused resources on the launch of the Game Boy Advance (GBA), a handheld game console that was the successor to the original Game Boy and Game Boy Color. As a result, several titles originally destined for the Nintendo 64 (N64) console were shelved in favor of being early releases on the GameCube. The last first-party title in 2001 for the N64 was released in May, a month before the GBA launched and six months before the GameCube, emphasizing the company's shift in resources. Behind the scenes, Nintendo was developing connectivity software for the GameCube which would include future connectivity between the Game Boy Advance and GameCube. Certain game titles, such as the The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, would have the ability to use the handheld as a secondary screen and controller when connected to the console via a link cable.[14][15]
Nintendo began its marketing campaign with the catchphrase "The Nintendo Difference" at the E3 reveal.[11] The goal was to distinguish itself from the competition as an entertainment company.[16] Later, advertisements pushed the slogan "Born to Play", and video game commercials featured a rotating cube animation that morphed into a GameCube logo and ended with a voice whispering, "GameCube".[17][18]
The GameCube launched in Japan on September 14, 2001.[19] Approximately 500,000 units were shipped in time to retailers.[20] The console was scheduled to launch two months later in North America on November 5, 2001, but the date was pushed back in an effort to increase the number of available units.[21] The console eventually launched in North America on November 18, 2001, with over 700,000 units shipped to the region.[22] Other regions followed suit the following year beginning with Europe in the second quarter of 2002.[23]
Nintendo partnered with IBM and ATI Technologies to design the GameCube. IBM designed a PowerPC-based processor for the next-generation console, known as Gekko, which runs at 485 MHz and features a floating point unit (FPU) capable of 1.9 GFLOPS. Howard Cheng, technical director of Nintendo technology development, said the company's goal was to select a "simple RISC architecture" to help speed development of games by making it easier on software developers. Flipper, the console's graphics processor (GPU), was designed by ArtX – a company that was acquired by ATI soon after being contracted by Nintendo to design the processor. The GPU runs at 162 MHz and, in addition to graphics, manages other tasks through its audio and input/output (I/O) processors.[24][25][26][27]
The GameCube introduced a proprietary miniDVD optical disc format as the storage medium for the console, capable of storing up to 1.5 GB of data.[28] The technology was designed by Matsushita Electric Industrial (now Panasonic Corporation) which utilized a proprietary encryption scheme – different from the Content Scramble System (CSS) found in standard DVDs – to prevent unauthorized reproduction.[29] The Famicom and Nintendo 64 experimented with other storage technologies, but the GameCube was Nintendo's first console to move away from cartridge-based media altogether.[30]
Like its predecessor, the Nintendo 64, the GameCube was available in several colors. "Indigo" – the primary color shown in advertising and on the logo – and "Jet Black" were both offered at launch.[31] A year later, Nintendo released a "Platinum" limited edition GameCube, which used a silver color scheme for both the console and controller.[32] A "Spice" orange-colored console was eventually released as well only in Japan, though the color scheme could be found on controllers released in other countries.[33]
Nintendo developed stereoscopic 3D technology for the GameCube, and one launch title, Luigi's Mansion, supported it. However, the feature was never enabled outside of development. 3D televisions were not widespread at the time, and it was deemed that compatible displays would be too cost-prohibitive for the consumer.[34] Another unofficial feature are two audio Easter eggs that can be invoked during the console's startup routine. When the power is activated with the "Z" button on the Player 1 controller held down, a kiddie startup sound is heard in place of the standard one. With four controllers connected, holding down the "Z" button on all four simultaneously produces a "ninja-like" tune at startup.[35]
The GameCube features two memory card ports for saving game data. Nintendo released three official memory card options – 512 KB (59 save blocks), 2 MB (251 save blocks), and 8 MB (1019 save blocks). Several games were known to have compatibility issues with the 8 MB memory card, and at least two games have save issues with any size.[36] Memory cards with larger capacities were released by third-party manufacturers.[37]
Nintendo learned from its experiences – both positive and negative – with the Nintendo 64's three-handled controller design and went with a two-handled, "handlebar" design for the GameCube. The shape was made popular by Sony's PlayStation controller released in 1994 and its follow-up DualShock series of gamepads introduced in 1997. In addition to vibration feedback, the DualShock series was well known for having two analog sticks to improve the 3D experience in games. Nintendo and Microsoft designed similar features in the controllers for their sixth-generation consoles, but instead of having the analog sticks parallel to each other, they chose to stagger them by swapping the positions of the directional pad (d-pad) and left analog stick. The GameCube controller features a total of eight buttons, two analog sticks, a d-pad, and an internal rumble motor. The primary analog stick is on the left with the d-pad located below and closer to the center. On the right are four buttons: a large, green "A" button in the center, a smaller red "B" button to the left, an "X" button to the right, and a "Y" button at the top. Below and to the inside is a yellow "C" analog stick, which often serves a variety of in-game functions, such as controlling the camera angle. The Start/Pause button is located in the middle, and the rumble motor is encased within the center of the controller.[38][39][40]
On the top of the controller are two "pressure-sensitive" trigger buttons marked "L" and "R". Each essentially provides two functions: one analog and one digital. As the trigger is depressed, it emits an analog signal which increases the more it is pressed in. Once fully depressed, the trigger "clicks" registering a digital signal that can be used for a separate function within a game. There is also a purple, digital button on the right side marked "Z".[41]
Unique to the GameCube is the controller's prominent size and placement of the A button. Having been the primary action button in past Nintendo controller designs, it was given a larger size and more centralized placement for the GameCube. The rubberized analog stick in combination with the controller's overall button orientation was intended to reduce the dreaded "Nintendo thumb" – a term used to describe pain in any part of the hands, wrists, forearms, and shoulders as a result of long-term play.[42][43]
In 2002, Nintendo introduced the WaveBird Wireless Controller, the first wireless gamepad developed by a first-party console manufacturer. The RF-based wireless controller is similar in design to the standard controller. It communicates with the GameCube by way of a wireless receiver dongle connected to one of the console's controller ports. Powered by two AA batteries, which are housed in a compartment on the underside of the controller, the WaveBird lacks the vibration functionality of the standard controller. In addition to the standard inputs, the WaveBird features a channel selection dial – also found on the receiver – and an on/off switch. An orange LED on the face of the controller indicates when it is powered on. The controller is available in light grey and platinum color schemes.[44]
The GameCube is unable to play games from other Nintendo home consoles, but with the Game Boy Player attachment, it is able to play Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance titles. The GameCube's successor, the Wii, supports backward compatibility with GameCube controllers, memory cards, and games. However, later versions of the Wii – including the "Family Edition" released in 2011 and the Wii Mini edition released in 2012 – dropped support for all GameCube hardware.[45][46][47]
Panasonic Q[edit]
A hybrid version of the Nintendo GameCube with a commercial DVD player, called Q, was developed by Panasonic as part of the deal struck with Nintendo to develop the optical drive for the original GameCube hardware. Featuring a completely revised case, the Q overcomes the size limitation of the original GameCube's miniDVD tray by adding a commercial DVD-sized tray, among other hardware revisions. Released exclusively to Japan in December 2001, low sales resulted in the Q being discontinued in December 2003.
Software library[edit]
Over its lifespan, which came to a close in 2007, more than 600 games were released for the GameCube.[48][49]
Nintendo is traditionally recognized for releasing innovative, first-party game titles, most notably from the Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda series. These first-party series continued on the GameCube and bolstered the console's popularity. As a publisher, Nintendo also focused on creating new franchises, such as Pikmin, and renewing some that skipped the N64 platform, notably the Metroid series with the release of Metroid Prime. The console also saw success with the critically acclaimed The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Super Mario Sunshine, and its best-selling game, Super Smash Bros. Melee. Despite Nintendo's commitment to its software library, however, it was still criticized by some for not featuring enough game titles during the console's launch window.
Early on in its history, Nintendo had achieved considerable success with third-party developer support on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). Competition from the Sega Genesis and Sony's PlayStation in the 1990s changed the market's landscape, however, and reduced Nintendo's ability to obtain exclusive, third-party support on the Nintendo 64 (N64). The console's cartridge-based media was also increasing the cost to manufacture software, as opposed to the cheaper, higher-capacity optical discs used by the PlayStation.[50][51]
With the GameCube, Nintendo aimed to reverse the trend as evidenced by the number of third-party titles available at launch – the N64 had none. The new optical disc format introduced with the GameCube increased the capacity significantly and reduced production costs. For the most part, the strategy worked. High-profile exclusives such as Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader from Factor 5, Resident Evil 4 from Capcom, and Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes from Konami were very successful. Sega, which focused on third-party development following the demise of its Dreamcast console, offered a vast amount of support for the GameCube porting old favorites over such as Crazy Taxi and Sonic Adventure 2. The company also started new franchises on the GameCube including Super Monkey Ball. Several third-party developers were even contracted to work on new titles for existing Nintendo franchises, including Star Fox Assault by Namco and Wario World from Treasure.[48][50]

Online gaming[edit]
Online connectivity was featured on the GameCube in a small number of video game titles using a broadband or modem adapter that attached to a serial port on the console. This feature introduced online gaming to the Nintendo product line and was supported in Homeland – only released in Japan – and the Phantasy Star series.[52][53] The Super Famicom in Japan offered online connectivity through Satellaview in the 1990s, but that feature only brought the console online, not the games which were downloaded and played locally.[54] Nintendo made publishers responsible for managing the online experience and for providing the interface.[53]
Despite industry speculation that Nintendo would eventually publish games with online connectivity, the company never released a first-party title with the feature. However, several games – Mario Kart: Double Dash‼, 1080° Avalanche and Kirby Air Ride – featured multiplayer gameplay over a LAN connection. Third-party projects, such as Warp Pipe and XLink Kai, introduced methods to connect these games over the internet. The projects aimed to show game developers a low-cost solution that demonstrated the feasibility of adding online support.[52][55][56]
Reception and sales[edit]
The Nintendo GameCube received generally positive reviews following its launch. PC Magazine praised the overall hardware design and quality of game titles available at launch.[57] CNET gave an average review rating, noting that while the console lacks a few features offered by its competition, it is relatively inexpensive, has a great controller design, and launched a decent lineup of games.[58] In later reviews, criticism mounted against the console often centering around its overall look and feel, describing it as "toy-ish."[59][60] In the midst of poor sales figures and the associated financial harm to Nintendo, a Time International article called the GameCube an "unmitigated disaster."[61]
Looking back, Joystiq compared the GameCube's launch window to its successor, the Wii, noting that the GameCube's "lack of games" resulted in a subpar launch, and the console's limited selection of online titles hurt its market share in the long run.[49] Time International concluded that the system had low sales figures, because it lacked "technical innovations".[62]
Nintendo sold approximately 22 million GameCube units worldwide during its lifespan, placing it slightly behind the Xbox's 24 million, and well behind the PlayStation 2's 153 million.[5][63][64] The GameCube's predecessor, the Nintendo 64, outperformed it as well selling nearly 33 million units.[65] The console was able to outsell the short-lived Dreamcast, however, which only sold 10.6 million units.[66] In September 2009, IGN ranked the GameCube 16th in its list of best gaming consoles of all time, placing it behind all three of its sixth-generation competitors: the PlayStation 2 (3rd), the Dreamcast (8th), and the Xbox (11th).[59]
Despite Nintendo's efforts, the GameCube failed to reclaim the market share lost by its predecessor, the Nintendo 64. In terms of overall hardware sales, it remained far behind its direct competitor the PlayStation 2 – and slightly behind Microsoft's Xbox – throughout the lifespan of all three consoles. The console's "family-friendly" appeal and lack of support from certain third-party developers skewed the GameCube toward a younger market, which was a minority demographic of the gaming population during the sixth generation (see chart). Many third-party games popular with teenagers or adults, such as the blockbuster Grand Theft Auto series and several key first-person shooters, skipped the GameCube entirely in favor of the PlayStation 2 and Xbox.
While many of Nintendo's own first-party titles saw strong sales, this did not typically benefit third-party developers or drive sales of their games. Many cross-platform games — such as sports franchises released by Electronic Arts — sold far below their PlayStation 2 and Xbox counterparts, eventually prompting some developers to scale back or completely cease support for the GameCube. After several years of losing money from developing for Nintendo's console, Eidos Interactive announced in September 2003 that it would end support for the GameCube, canceling several games that were in development.[67] Later, however, Eidos resumed development[68] of GameCube titles, releasing hit games such as Lego Star Wars: The Video Game and Tomb Raider: Legend. In addition, several third-party games originally intended to be GameCube exclusives – most notably Resident Evil 4 – were eventually ported to other systems in an attempt to maximize profits following lackluster sales of the original GameCube versions.
The 1.5 GB proprietary mini-disc format may also have been a limiting factor, since the PlayStation 2 and Xbox could use 8.5 GB Dual-Layer DVDs for larger games. The GameCube mini-disc still had sufficient room for most games, although a few games would require an extra disc or, sometimes, feature less content than the other versions. Higher video compression for some games was also potentially more apparent on some GameCube versions, if employed by developers as a workaround for storage constraints.
With sales sagging and millions of unsold consoles, Nintendo halted GameCube production for the first nine months of 2003 to reduce surplus units.[61] Sales rebounded slightly after a price drop to US$99.99 on September 24, 2003[69] and the release of The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition bundle. A demo disc, the Nintendo GameCube Preview Disc, was also released in a bundle in 2003.[citation needed] Beginning with this period, GameCube sales continued to be steady, particularly in Japan,[citation needed] but the GameCube remained in third place in worldwide sales during the sixth generation era due to weaker sales performance elsewhere.
As of June 2003, the GameCube had a 13% market share, tying the Xbox but falling far behind 60% for the PlayStation 2.[61]
Some third-party companies, such as Ubisoft, THQ, Disney Interactive Studios, Humongous Entertainment and EA Sports, continued to release GameCube games well into 2007.[70][71][72][73] These titles include TMNT, Meet the Robinsons, Surf's Up, Ratatouille and Madden NFL 08.[citation needed]

With the arrival of Windows PowerShell 2.0, PowerShell is on the brink of widespread enterprise adoption. Microsoft's Common Engineering Criteria dictates that new server and product management tools must be based on Windows PowerShell, so it's not a question of if companies will be using PowerShell, only a matter of when.
The challenge facing many organizations, though, is to properly manage PowerShell so that it is secure,easy to use, and effective. This white paper discusses the role of PowerShell in the IT environment, describes how to benefit from PowerShell, and suggests best practices for PowerShell scripting.

he's been in more than one episode, both episodes were incredibly awesome and one of them is considered a masterpiece.
Tataran needs to be made.

That's the goblin that passes off as a villager in "the problem with power" right?
Cause if it is I want one.
FINALLY!! GLIMMER IS IN MY SHELF!! Now who shall I fight for?
yes he is though i prefer his appearence in the ep the arena to me its a much better ep, i am not to fond of problem with power like some others are
"always believe in yerself"
dont be someone yer not
An official version would be good indeed... but filmation characters are impossible to be made for the moment...
A good "custom" of the old toy line was made :
Yes for me, awesome character- although I'd prefer if he didn't have the same build as the usual male characters. He's shorter and dumpier than that, around the same height and, erm, width as Ram-Man.
Most-wanted MOTUC: Granita - Hunga the Harpy - Spinnerella - Melaktha - Vultak - Dylamug - Crita - Mermista Sprag, Sprocker and Spritina
I agree, General Tataran would be an awesome MOTUC figure!!
"Oh Lord, Bless this M&M... and the mighty cockroach I slain in battle to get it." - Al Bundy
...with a two pack goblin army builder, of course!
This is one of my top five Filmation characters I hope to see in MOTUC.
yes! want this guy!
think he was in more than just one episode.
general tataran in motuc yes or yes .
Yes, General Tataran would be cool in MOTUC ! But there are more important Filmation characters to release first.
Batros, Kittrina, General Tataran and General Sundar and i'm a happy man.
Yeah he's one of the Filmation characters I would buy.
MOTUC NA Most Wanted: Darius, Kayo, Vizar, Hoove, Lizorr
Trade my Red Stone He-Ro Staff for a Green one
HE-MAN UK Adventure Magazine #26
I'd like him, but if he isn't made, I'll still sleep at night.
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
Way to Go Club Etheria!
what an awesome figure he would be.
hes in my top ten most wanted filmation characters.
I'd buy one in a heartbeat!
I agree with the earlier post about him needing a new buck. If Mattel ever gets around to doing Ram-Man, his buck would be excellent for Tataran.
He is a very cool looking Character. I really hope he makes an appearance into MOTUC. I didn't know him by name so never really voted for him in polls But most definitely would love to see him as a figure.
General Tataran is a must have from Filmation. Giving him a new buck would be great, because parts could be reused for several "stocky" characters, like Kothos, King Ahgo, and Angast. That is FOUR figures right there that can reuse the parts. Bring on General Tataran, the Evil Goblin General!
General Tataran would be an awesome addition to the Masters Of The Universe Classics.
Yes! Get this character a figure!
Wish List: Eldor, Skeleton Warriors, King Argho, Horde Wraiths, Kobolds, Prahvus, Lord Masque, Rock Monster, Gen.

MEMORY MOVEMENT MEMORY OBJECTS: Alice Anderson at Wellcome Collection
- 22 May — 17 August 2014
In May 2014 Wellcome Collection will present a major exhibition of works by acclaimed artist, Alice Anderson: 'Memory Movement Memory Objects'. Anderson's sculptures are entirely mummified in copper thread, creating glistening landscapes of beautiful, uncanny and transformed objects. Each piece is an exploration and act of memory. Both the making and display of works interrogate how we create, recall, transform and seal the past and imagine the future. Over 100 works will be displayed and, uniquely, visitors will be invited to contribute to the creation of a new work during the run of the exhibition, as a car from the artist's life is mummified in the gallery.
The gallery will carry the mesmerising glint of displayed treasure, akin to entering a Pharaoh's tomb, but the objects on show are fashioned relics, or new archaeology. Strikingly lit, the sheen of copper is, for the artist, key to the absorbing physical and mental experience of entombing objects. The process of mummification is simultaneously a gesture of protection and an invocation of death, and Anderson's exquisite sculptures pose challenging questions about the comforts and consolations of creating and sharing memories. Offering an alternative way of remembering, the exhibition will animate the terrain where movement, objects and consciousness meet.

AUSTIN was a tiny community on the verdant banks of the (Texas) Colorado River when Mirabeau B. Lamar, president of the Republic of Texas, suggested in 1839 that it would make a better capital than swampy and disease-ridden Houston. Early building had to be done under armed guard, while angry Comanche watched from the surrounding hills. Despite this perilous location, Austin thrived.
Today the city wears its state capital status lightly. Since the 1960s, the laidback and progressive city – an anomaly in Texas – has been a haven for artists, musicians and writers, and many visitors come specifically for the music. And while complacency has crept in, its "alternative" edge being packaged as just another marketing tool, artists hungry for recognition are still attracted to this creative hotbed.
The Austin sound
The Austin sound
Although Austin's folk revival in the 1960s attracted enough attention to propel Janis Joplin on her way from Port Arthur, Texas, to stardom in California, the city first achieved prominence in its own right as the centre of outlaw country music in the 1970s. Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings, disillusioned with Nashville, spearheaded a movement that reworked country and western with an incisive injection of rock'n'roll. Venues like the now-closed Armadillo World Headquarters, far removed from the more conservative honky-tonks of the Plains, provided an environment that encouraged and rewarded risk-taking, experimentation and lots of sonic cross-breeding. These days the predominant Austin sound is a melange of country, folk and the blues, with strong psychedelic and alternative influences – but the scene is entirely eclectic. The tradition of black Texas bluesmen like Blind Lemon Jefferson and Blind Willie Johnson, as well as the rocking bar blues of Stevie Ray Vaughan, still lives on, with a top-notch blues club in the form of Antone's.

My daughter is 3 months old and has started a breastfeeding strike! i have pumped for the past 6 weeks or so while im at work so therefore she has taken "mommy's milk" in bottles from her grandma during the day. Just this past weekend she is refusing my nursing and screams when I offer it to her. She will do the middle of the night feedings but I'm afraid that will soon stop too. How do i get her to continue to nurse and take a bottle. I'm not ready to stop :(
Some babies get used to a bottle while away from mommy and then go on a mini-strike when trying to go back. Don't give up!! Try having your daughter drink from a slow flow nipple when she drinks from a bottle. That way she will not get used to your milk just pouring into her mouth with no effort. Some babies find breastfeeding too much work after effortlessly getting milk from a bottle, so you can make the bottle a bit more work for her. Also, when you have her at home, lay her on your chest skin to skin for a period of time each night. This encourages milk production and helps her to stay "in love" with breastfeeding. If possible, ask whoever is watching her to hold off on her last feeding before you get home and express some milk into her mouth before she latches on. This may help her be ready to go. Keep pumping if she won't feed from you and be patient - this will probably just be a temporary thing! If you continue to have trouble, call a lactation consultant to give you some more tips!
You must try breastflow bottles, they are the best!! It makes them work at it just like the breast! Both of my children never had confusion, I went back and forth all the time. Babies R Us sells them, or look up to buy online. You will love them, everyone ask me where I got those bottles.
Use a nipple shield, that is what I do.......it resembles a bottle nipple more. Hopefully this works for you as it did for me...because I too was not ready to give up nursing!
2boyzmommy - great idea! I hadn't thought of that before...I'll have to keep that in mind!
please don't you a nipple sheild! when using a nipple shield your baby is only getting the foremilk and not the hind milk. Therefore your baby won't get all the nutrients that she needs. Nipple sheilds are to be used for short amount of times when mothers have cracked/hurt nipples, not as a supplement to natural breastfeeding. I was sent home with one from the hospital and used it for 2.5 months and didn't know that it was wrong until my daughter started to suck my nipple through the shield and caused tearing int he tip of my nipple... daughter wasn't gaining weight good ect. I was taken off the nipple sheild which seriously took like 2 weeks for my daughter to be okay with (screaming fits) then everything went back to normal.
I second the idea to try the First Years Breastflow bottles. When you turn them upside down, nothing drips out. The baby has to compress and suck to get anything out, similar to the effort required to breastfeed (which is a good thing, it helps jaw and teeth development!).
Keep trying when your daughter is sleepy (night-time, before and after naps)
If it's an option, could you have someone bring her to you over your lunch break to try to nurse, even just for a few days? Hang in there! Lots of people do make it through nursing strikes!
try this...lay on your back and lay baby on your stomach with her head in the crook of your arm and wrap your arm around her (if nursing on your left, hold her left leg). allow her to nurse and fall asleep that way. it calms my daughter when she's really fussy and she's 6 months. i gently rock too
Toshamillian - did things improve for you? Have you been able to continue breastfeeding? I hope it all worked out - let us know!

JMU improved to 17-8 overall and solidified its second place in the league standings with an 11-2 record. Hofstra dropped to 12-12 overall and 8-5 in CAA play.
Dukes senior guard Tarik Hislop (Silver Spring, Md./Paint Branch) scored a game-high 24 points, including a career-high four 3-pointers, to lead JMU.
JMU sophomore forward Toia Giggetts (Norfolk, Va./Lake Taylor) contributed 11 points and nine rebounds, and redshirt freshman guard Jazmon Gwathmey (Bealeton, Va./Liberty) added 10 points. Junior guard Kirby Burkholder (Bridgewater, Va./Turner Ashby) was JMU's top rebounder with 12, and redshirt senior forward Kanita Shepherd (Garner, N.C./Garner Magnet) tied her career high with a season-high 10 rebounds.
Hofstra senior forward Shante Evans (West Chester, Pa./Henderson) and sophomore guard Andreana Thomas (West Haven, Conn./James Hillhouse) led the Pride in scoring with 16 points apiece, and senior forward/guard Candace Bond (Fort Washington, Md./Riverdale Baptist) scored 11. Junior forward Anma Onyeuku (Fayetteville, Ga./Fayette County) grabbed a game-high 14 rebounds, and Evans finished with 14 rebounds.
It was a tale of two halves, as JMU limited the Pride to 23 percent (8-35) shooting in the opening period while the Dukes connected on 44 percent (16-36) of its field-goal tries. The Dukes took a 39-21 lead into intermission.
However, the Pride outscored JMU 39-29 in the second period, when Hofstra connected on 47 percent (16-34) from the field while the Dukes only converted 24 percent (8-33) from the floor.
With JMU leading 51-35 after a Gwathmey fast-break layup with 13:05 to play, the Dukes went 0-for-12 from the floor while Hofstra outscored JMU 19-1 over a span of 7:13. An Onyeuku layup with 4:54 left gave the Pride its first lead of the game, 53-52.
After Hislop knocked down a 3-pointer as the shot clock expired, Oneyku connected on a long jumper to tie the game at 55 with 4:06 to play.
JMU outscored the Pride 13-5 in the final 2:57 to pull away for the win. The Pride was 2-for-8 from the field in final last four minutes, and after JMU took a 61-57 lead on a Shepherd layup with 1:26 left, Hofstra was forced to foul The Dukes converted seven of eight free throws in the last 45.1 seconds to clinch the victory.

Sometimes it takes a kick in the pants to change your life. Maybe you can tell me about the moment in your life when you realized that you need a change.
That's what happened to Jill Knapp. She's a 44 year old wife and mother of 3 from Idaho. And she was facing a crisis. Her lifestyle and her weight were out of control. After getting married and having children her weight got up to 237 pounds. She was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. She had to do something drastic.
Jill revamped the entire way she was used to eating, but she also needed a goal, something to motivate her to loose the weight. She needed a stage.
In front of a big crowd, she proclaimed that she had Type 2 diabetes, lost 100 pounds by eating right and exercising.
The stage was the Mrs. Idaho pageant.
Anyone can loose the weight. Anyone can get in shape.. If your lifestyle is not where it should be you know down deep inside so do it now so you can be around for your family.

The Fertile World: A Nurse's Perspective
Robyn Nazar, RN, BSN, is a registered nurse from Seattle specializing in female reproductive health, fertility, obstetrics and neonatal care.
Robyn graduated from Pepperdine University with a degree in psychology before continuing on to receive her nursing degree from Metropolitan State College of Denver. Her nursing career has been focused on woman's health, including gynecology, obstetrics, labor and delivery, postpartum, and neonatal care.
After an unexpected twist in life events Robyn and her husband left the United States to spend several years in Buenos Aires, Argentina — where she is now living today. She has since turned to online writing and blogging as a way to continue to reach out women about important issues in reproductive health.
In addition to her fertility blogging, Robyn is also a staff writer for EmaxHealth, an online health news source, and the nurse manager for a nationwide patient web portal owed by Elite Health Medical Group. Robyn has also founded a childbirth education program called Buenos Aires Babies for other English-speaking women who are living abroad.
This blog is about reaching out to YOU to keep you informed on the latest news, research and hot topics in the world of fertility.

Gender selection isn't anything new. People have been trying to manipulate the sex outcome of their babies for as long as baby-making has existed. However, people used to be quite open about their efforts to have a boy or a girl and even swapped old wives tales (Oh! There are many of them!) on how to achieve the desired sex.
The irony is that now that we finally have the technology to select a baby's gender with nearly 100 percent accuracy, nobody is talking about it.

Plan Your The Copper Canyon Vacation
The canyons of the Sierra Tarahumara, as this portion of the Sierra Madre Occidental is known, form part of the Pacific "Ring of Fire," a belt of seismic and volcanic activity ringing the globe. As a result of its massive geologic movement, a large quantity of the earth's buried mineral wealth was shoved toward the surface. The average height of the resulting peaks is 8,000 feet, and some rise to more than 10,000 feet.

Parent Directory | Revision Log
|Links to HEAD:
|(view) (annotate)
|Links to release-18e-branch:
|(view) (annotate)
|Sticky Tag:
Patch by Gerd Moellmann to turn old-style into new-style eval-when's in the PCL code base.
Patch by Gerd Moellmann to remove unused functionality from macros.lisp.
Slightly frobbed patch from Gerd Moellmann that eliminates the function EXTRACT-DECLARATIONS in favour of SYSTEM:PARSE-BODY. This also removes the ability for macros to expand into declarations, which isn't allowed anymore by ANSI CL.
Huge patch by Gerd Moellmann that removes PCL::ITERATE and PCL::GATHER* in favor of normal CL constructs. In a similar vein to SBCL, this patch also replaces all uses of #'(lambda ...) by just (lambda ...), and removes now-dated looking quotes in front of self-evaluating objects, like keywords and t/nil. The patch has been slightly frobbed by me, to correct a couple of slight oversights, and make more effective use of the loop facility in a number of places.
Patch by Gerd Moellmann to remove PCL's variant of once-only, replacing it by the version already present in CMUCL.
Slightly mangled patch by Gerd Moellmann to remove PCL's own version of destructuring-bind in favour of the ANSI CL version already in CMUCL.
Change toplevel PROCLAIMs to DECLAIMs.
Remove all #+ and #- conditionals from the source code. What is left is essentially Common Lisp except for explicit references to things in CMUCL specific packages.
Revision 1.12 for FIND-CLASS broke the PCL build process. This is a better fix (suggested by Douglas) in that FIND-CLASS-CELL as called from FIND-CLASS is not allowed to produce any side effects. This restores the build process and lets (find-class :x nil) => NIL as relied on by some codes.
fix find-class (when called with nil second arg) to be silent even if the supplied class name is invalid.
Further cleanup of the code now that the :SETF feature is assumed standard.
Add CMUCL style file-comments; from Peter Van Eynde.
Fix a programming error that was flagged by Python unreachable code warning.
This set of changes enables the use of forward referenced classes in PCL. The problem was(is) that the wrapper object needed to connect the Lisp type system to PCL classes doesn't exist until the forward-referenced-class is defined. At that time all the subclasses of it are initialized and wrappers attached. In the meantime, the actual forward referenced class is an instance of pcl::forward-referenced-class and any subclasses are pcl class instances with most slots nil. The fix herein arranges for UPDATE-LISP-CLASS-LAYOUT to also set the lisp:class-name and use (setf lisp:find-class) to connect the new layout to the Lisp class system. An undesired consequence of this is that DEFCLASS can't return a valid class object unless all superclasses are defined. This shouldn't be a real problem as the classes can't be used in the intermediate state, but the HyperSpec says DEFCLASS returns a class object. We return a valid class object or NIL.
This commit brings the PCL repository up to release 17f and also includes the changes in the X86 1.03.7 kit. Although the 1.03.7 changes were already in the repository, the other files appear to be of early vintage and do not work with a 17f system. Hopefully all is correctly synched now.
September-16-92-PCL-e has been incorporated into the CMUCL sources thanks to Rick Harris.
This is September 92 PCL.
This is July 92 PCL
This is March-92-PCL-2a.
Merged with latest PCL version.

we just got a TON of biology and schoolhouse maps in to our shop. make an appointment through our blog!
yes yesyes i looove this.
this was my goal from my room when i redecorated my room. alot bio/taxidermish things with PINKPINK walls. I feel like a geek fairy when i walk into it
I love the first image. A source for beautiful eggs and feathers -
Love the botanicals and the butterflies. The anatomicals and the antlers, not so much.
Lol at the random swastika in picture #3
I think the lobster chart in Picture 6 gives me the heebie jeebies. I'll stick to botanicals, thanks.
Here's another great resource right here in DC. Botanical prints from the Special Collections at the National Agricultural Library:
You can order prints from the New York Public Library Digital collection. Click on Nature & Science. They are fairly inexpensive and you can get them in a variety of sizes and framed, or not framed. http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/index.cfm
Wow, what a great source - thanks heatherk.
Thanks for posting...I have some of these that need to see the light of day.
alexlopez, I'm pretty sure that it's a Navajo symbol (and used in other cultures too).
I'd love to know where to get a sofa like this!
I've seen plenty of these charts avaialbe at www.empiricalstyle.com , an amzing website full of old maps too!

I'm a tenant in a yurt in east San Diego County, elevation ~4,000 ft. Right now the hot water needs are served by a homemade batch solar heater (old tank painted black with reflector), which is plumbed to an outdoor shower about 15 feet away. The yurt lies 30 ft. beyond the shower and has an indoor sink, which is currently cold water only. This system works well April - October, and intermittently through the rest of the year. Propane and 120v electric are available at the site.
The powers at be think it reasonable that I have hot water inside during the winter and the ability to shower during overcast stretches. The question is the best way to make this happen. I personally really enjoy the simplicity of the current setup, and another consideration is that the yurt serves as sort of a demonstration of a simpler type of housing to kids/adults who tour the farm where it's located. I'm not above some personal inconvenience to keep the system simple and low impact, and a (reasonable) higher install cost is acceptable to meet those goals as well.
During winter, 75-80% of the hot water use would be just to fill the indoor sink to wash some dishes. I don't shower long, or particularly often.
I'm leaning toward:
Sprucing up the existing tank (could be repositioned to catch more winter sun and needs to be insulated.)
Adding a 6 gal. mini-tank heater
Re-plumbing the shower so that the batch heater can feed either the cold or hot water line (reasoning that in the summer, incoming hot needs to be mixed with cold, but that during winter, luke-warm mixed with the hot from a the very small tank might give a bit longer shower.)
Issues I've yet to resolve:
The combined ~45 ft. outdoor run from the batch heater->shower->to the yurt
Where to put the HWH along that run (try to squeeze it under the yurt sink? or build a small insulated compartment somewhere near the shower?)
I'm love your thoughts on whether the above plan makes sense, considering my goals, whether I should be considering a gas tankless instead, and any suggestions for dealing with the outdoor run and placement of the heater. Recommendations or good experiences with particular brands of mini-tanks would also be appreciated.

SIMCOE COUNTY – When babies start grabbing the spoon at mealtime, or trying to take food from others' plates, experts say parents should take it as a good sign.
Such actions are a baby's way of showing that he or she is ready to try eating without mom or dad's constant help, advises the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit.
To learn more about infant development, the health unit has created a Facebook page called "Play together – Grow together." Designed for parents of young infants and toddlers, it boasts helpful information from nurses and dietitians, as well as tips and discussions.

USC study: Minorities still under-represented in popular filmsStory | Oct 30, 2013 | 12:03 PMWith this year's high-profile movies "The Butler," "42" and "12 Years a Slave" prominently featuring black actors, it may seem as though the multiplex is enjoying new levels of diversity. But popular films still under-represent minority characters and directors, and reflect certain biases in their portrayals, according to a study being released Wednesday by USC's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.

Dr Darby Proctor, from Emory University in Atlanta Georgia, explained how they had set about testing this and what they had found.
She told Today presenter Justin Webb that because of this research "we think that humans and chimpanzees share very similar behaviours".
"We think that this sense of fairness is fairly evolutionarily ancient" she said, and explained that it might have been found in human's and chimpanzee's common ancestor.

Prison-Based Education Declined During Economic Downturn
Large states cut spending on prison education programs by an average of 10 percent between the 2009 and 2012 fiscal years, while medium-sized states cut spending by 20 percent. While the drop appears to have resulted from budget cuts prompted by the economic downturn, evidence suggests that the curtailment of prison education could increase prison system costs in the longer term.
