Returning to Breastfeeding
Hello! I am breastfeeding my baby before but I stopped for almost 2 weeks now due to certain Gastric Problems and my physician prescribed medications for 2 weeks. As I am about to finish all my medications for 2 weeks, could I still breastfeed my baby again? Thanks

I would definitely offer the breast again because you should still be producing some milk, though it won't be as much as you were producing before. Your daughter will either take to it or she won't. If she prefers the bottle nipple you may have a hard time getting her to latch on.
But if she will latch, then breastfeed her as long as you possibly can each day, because her suckling is what will help to increase your milk supply again.
Have you been "pumping and dumping" while she has been off the breast? That's what I did anytime I had to have baby off the breast for a period of time.
You can also rent a good, hospital grade pump, that you can use to help stimulate milk production. You would need to pump every 2 hours, for about 20 minutes, and at times you'll feel like you do nothing else, but if you really want to continue your breastfeeding relationship it is so worth it.
Here's a thread where we discussed relactation. You may also need to use a supplemental nursing system where you can put baby's formula in a bottle and then it is delivered through a tube, into the baby's mouth, so they can get their nourishment while at the breast.
Here's a video where Dr. Jack Newman shows how to get baby to latch at the breast with a supplemental nursing system.
Please let me know if this answers your questions or if you have any other questions.

Hi Seanntori,
Have you been able to attempt breastfeeding again after the medications? How is it going?
Warm Regards,

Hello Kate!
Yes, I am breastfeeding my baby again. I'm glad that I am able to breastfeed her again and she's able to get asleep easily while feeding.
Many Thanks,

Hi there!
Just a follow up question, what specific vegetable or fruit I should eat in order to increase my milk production?
Thanks in advance!
28th October 2012 01:37 AM #7
The first thing you'll want to do to help increase milk production will be to drink plenty of water. Have glasses of water around the house so that every time you see it you are reminded to drink. You can even set a timer to drink every 30 minutes. This is especially helpful in being sure you're getting enough for baby. Just drink until you're satisfied, but be sure to drink.
Be sure you're getting plenty of fruits and vegetables. I would suggest you strive for at least 50% of your daily intake in fruits and vegetables, but eating 80% would be even better. Choose organic varieties so that you're not putting pesticides into your body and into your baby's body through your milk.
Watermellon has a lot of water in it and it's cleansing to the body. Deep leafy greens are packed with nutrients that will benefit your milk supply and your energy level.
One of the best things you can do is to get a juicer and juice your fruits and vegetables. If you get at least 3 heads of dark leafy greens into your body each day you will notice an amazing difference in your overall health and wellness after a week of doing this. It's much easier to drink the greens (minus the fiber) than it is to eat 3 heads of deep leafy greens (with the fiber).
One of my favorite juices is apple, cucumber, lemon and kale. You use 1/2 lemon (or less) and a lot of apples, cucumber and kale. The sweetness of the apples counteracts the "green" taste of the kale. I'll actually be drinking this juice today.
Freshly squeezed orange juice or grapefruit juice is very good too. Just use a citrus juicer, or if you want to use your juicer that you would use for apples, you'll want to be sure you peel the orange first because when you put the peel of the orange through the juicer along with the fruit, it will make your juice really thick from all the pectin in the orange rind. It still tastes okay - it just changes the texture which makes it harder to drink (becomes kind of "gloppy").
A couple of herbs that helps to increase milk supply are fenugreek and blessed thistle. You may also be able to find a "Mother's Milk" tea.
Working with a Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner (TCM) can be beneficial in increasing milk supply as mentioned in this article entitled How to Increase Milk Supply if you have Insufficient Lactation
And here's another article that you may find interesting. It's called Eating Organic Food When Pregnant and Breastfeeding-What are the Benefits?
Wishing you all the best as you continue to offer your daughter the best food in the whole world, for her body... your milk.

My dogs sometimes get long retrieves hunting geese in cornfields. That's not a problem.-Paul
there's no good reason to fatten up a retriever.
Hunt tests don't need to be realistic.
They don't need to be realistic hunts, in order to be real tests.
And yes, they DO need to be real tests.
When you try to make something that isn't real, seem like it's real, you only succeed in making it more fake.
Do any of you guys besides /Paul and me judge Master tests?
I ask because with a 60 dog Master, a couple of 150 yard marks and/or Blinds is definitely going to affect the time management aspect of the test. Well placed marks and blinds under 100 yards will answer all the questions you should be asking as a Hunt Test judge. Quality always trumps distance, in my experience. I don't want to dumb down the final series because we chewed up too much time in the first two.-Paul

Of course that assumes you have good cover/terrain to work with and not just a golf fairway. As for the long mark that is not untypical in hunting, the difference is that pup usually gets to watch that sailing bird from shooting range all the way to the north 40. Not just tossed in the air for a couple of seconds at 200 + yds. Dogs have to see a bird to mark it. I don't mind long marks as long as pup has a chance to see 'em. But Paul is spot on. They aren't needed if a judge knows how to use available factors to properly test the dogs. And you don't learn that at a seminar.
And I've never seen a 150 yard mark or blind in a Master test either.
But, I'd rather see that, than some tricky BS that gets "answers" to questions that don't matter.
I don't care how "realistic" a test is. I'm not there to make a movie, or play pretend dress-up.
Hunt tests are REAL tests. They don't need to be made "realistic".
If a Judge needs 150 yards in order to get REAL answers from a Master mark or blind, I'm fine with that.
Yes I do judge master, senior and junior. There is noway your going to do a 150 swim with a 60 dog master test. It would kill your time management. If you start with 60 dogs and do a 6 min a dog test. Your still looking at 300 min/ 5 hr series. That doesn't even take in rebirds, and other delays. I have always said good bird placement not distance makes a good test.

Federal failure to fulfill spent-fuel obligations creates expensive risks.

Federal failure to fulfill spent-fuel obligations creates expensive risks.
For more than 50 years, the federal government has failed to manage spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level radioactive waste (HLW), imposing the burdens for this critical function on the private sector. Nuclear plant operators incurred upwards of several hundred million dollars per reactor in uncompensated expense and risk premiums, and potentially face decades of additional costs and risks coping with SNF and HLW.
When federal policies fail, they fail in a big way. The most obvious costs to utilities are in SNF custodial facilities and services that were supposed to be provided by the Department of Energy (DOE) in exchange for the fees paid by utility customers.
But, the more insidious costs are the decades of reimbursed interest and risk premiums, and their ripple effects lowering utility credit ratings and raising capital costs for years to come.
Companies that sold nuclear facilities in the past two decades suffered additional losses at the time of sale, because DOE's breach put the buyers of those plants at significant risk. No nuclear waste repository was, or is, available. At the time, dry-cask storage technology and safety regulations were in the embryonic stage and success uncertain. Many decommissioning trusts were underfunded. These plants were distress sales.
Plants located in hostile regulatory environments were particularly susceptible to high risk and consequential market devaluations, both direct and indirect. Prospective owners of new nuclear facilities often estimated SNF custodial costs over a plant's lifetime and facility decommissioning costs and dialed these costs into their bids. In addition to the expected costs, there remained the risk premiums on those expenditures and capital costs. If there were no solution to spent-fuel pool capacity limits, some plants faced the risk of early shutdowns. The owners would lose their entire investments while still facing the responsibility for decommissioning the facility and managing SNF into perpetuity. Sellers took a significant hit on plant valuations on both an expected value and risk basis.
The costs of DOE's breach continues to this day. Utility customers still pay SNF fees, at the rate of one mill per kilowatt hour, for services still not rendered long after those fees were supposed to end—apparently for nothing. Yucca Mountain effectively is now dead. Before the project was terminated, Yucca Mountain's cost estimates were fast approaching $100 billion. While such costs might seem little more than a rounding error in the current federal budget, they constitute significant dollars in their own right—and taxpayers are liable for potentially several billion dollars more in damages the courts have, and likely will, award utilities.
Before America begins building a new fleet of nuclear power reactors, federal policy makers should resolve the uncertainty about spent-fuel management once and for all—as they're legally obliged to do.
Serial Breach
More than 25 years ago, Congress passed the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA) to solve the nuclear waste problem. Among other things, NWPA directed utilities to contract with

Photo of the Day: Cosmo Alexandre Trains MMA With UFC Fighters Jon Jones and GSP
- Written by Dave Walsh
Yet another of the kickboxing/muay thai world is dipping his toes into the water of the MMA world, this time in the way of Cosmo Alexandre. As we've seen with Cosmo, he is immensely talented, hits hard and has incredible skill. If he learned how to sprawl and escape submissions he could be a force to be reckoned with in MMA, but of course, that takes years of preparation.
If you've been following Cosmo's exploits online, you've seen the mentions of him training for MMA, but here is the photographic proof of him training with some of the best (or at least posing with them). [source]

Shares of beleaguered retailer J.C. Penney were rallying on signs that new strategies are attracting customers as the company boosts rent income.
J.C. Penney(JCP) is among the market's big morning movers, with shares up $1.01, or 6.5%, to $16.50.
"Oppenheimer said its store tours over the weekend suggested customers look to be reacting positively to the Joe Fresh launch on Friday. Separately, ISI Group said the company's top 300 stores, with substantially below-market rents, could generate about $1.2 billion of sublet rental income …" Marketwatch reports.
The fear is that Penney could default on its debt covenants if its business continues to flounder and it burns through its cash. Hedge fund York Capital Management is shorting J.C. Penney debt, pitting York's James Dinan against Penney investor-fan William Ackman. Ackman, at Pershing Square Capital Management, started buying Penney stock in 2010, Reuters notes.
Earlier this month, Penney denied rumors that CEO Ron Johnson was leaving the company. The makeover under Johnson, including a store-within-a-store strategy that includes Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (MSO), hasn't exactly shored up the company's market value, which has dropped from nearly $8 billion last year to a recent $3.6 billion.
Shares of Martha Stewart Living were off 3% Monday. Martha Stewart defended Johnson on CNBC last week, saying his vision is strategic but it "takes awhile" for transformations to reap meaningful benefits.
Barron's magazine was dubious about Penney's ability to boost profits last year ("Penney Wise? Not Exactly," Jan. 23, 2012- subscription required). The shares, then at $35, have fallen by roughly 53% since.

Manufacturer: Canon
Lowest Historical Price: $810 History
Move over T1i, the Canon EOS Rebel T2i is here to take the mantle as Canon's newest flagship entry-level DSLR. The T2i boasts an 18 megapixel sensor, 1.04 million pixel 3:2 LCD screen, as well as a 63-zone metering sensor and improved movie functionality -- features borrowed from its big brother, the Canon 7D. Add to the mix some full-featured HD video recording, and I knew I had to take the plunge and check it out.
Canon seems to have pulled out all the stops for this model and stuffed it with features that put it very close to the next model up, the Canon 7D. With a similar 18 megapixel sensor, 63-zone iFCL metering and full HD video mode with manual exposure control and selectable frame rates, those considering their first DSLR or a second one for shooting video would be hard-pressed to not give this camera some serious consideration. Rounding out the rest of the features is a 3.0†3:2 1.04 million pixel LCD screen, 3.7fps continuous shooting, 100-6400 ISO, and an external microphone socket.
At first glance, the T2i looks and feels like any other DSLR from Canon's Digital Rebel line: compact, lightweight, and plasticky. The build quality is nothing to write home about. The camera body with kit lens is small and lightweight-feeling, and the handgrip is deep and more than adequate. These qualities, together with Live View, make shooting one-handed easy and secure. Since the buttons are fairly small, it's easy to accidentally press the wrong one. Still, the T2i is a far cry from the early days of bare bones entry-level DSLRs, which Canon pioneered.
The menu system for the T2i is straightforward, easy to read, and very intuitive. The camera inherited the â€quick control†button from the 7D, which allows you to change various shooting settings onscreen, eliminating the desire or need for many external one-use buttons.
Continuous shooting speed is a decent 3.7fps, an improvement over the T1i at 3.4fps and adequate for anyone who's looking at a camera in this price range. Autofocus is speedy and locks on quickly. However, using autofocus in conjunction with Live View slows AF quite a bit, although it's still very accurate.
Image quality is excellent with low noise across the entire ISO range. Some images are not the sharpest when viewed at 100%, but that's likely the fault of the kit lens and not the camera itself. Upgrading to higher quality optics is a must if you want to bring out the most in this camera. Compared to the sub-300k pixel LCDs of past digital cameras, the one on the T2i is amazing to look at. It features an anti-glare and anti-smudge coating and over a million pixels in a 3:2 format, so you don't have to deal with black bars when viewing pictures you've taken.
One of the T2i's headlining features is the greatly expanded movie mode for a camera in this price range. It can record 1080p video at 30, 25 or 24 frames per second or 720P at 60 or 50 frames per second. Throw in the ability to manually adjust exposure and use an external microphone, and you have the perfect camera for any budding filmmaker.
The number of improvements and features added to the T2i are impressive, but they come at a price. At the time of this review, the T2i runs for about 850 USD with kit lens. For a camera in this price range, the build quality and general feel are somewhat lacking. Many cheaper alternatives with slightly lesser specs, such as the T1i or the Nikon D5000, are available for the budget-minded first-time buyer. I would still recommend this camera to those looking for a worthy upgrade or anyone in the market for a backup DSLR.

Stars for Sydney
Hello Sunshine! What a great name for this bright, colorful fabric line by Riley Blake. Reds, yellows, pinks and greens make up the palette. I was so inspired by this fabulous collection, I just had to design a cheerful quilt to show off the fabric! This kit is in the April/May 2013 issue of McCall's Quick Quilts Magazine, which just landed on newsstands.
The simple nine-patch blocks and the appliquéd stars make Stars for Sydney a fast and easy quilt. The stars are a bit whimsical in shape and I chose to appliqué them onto a soft white background. I prefer the fusible method of appliqué, but you can also do the needleturn method if you wish. After appliquéing the stars, I used a bright matching thread to do the blanket-stitch around each star.

|Pacific Northwest Sea Run Forum No such thing as rainbow trout, only landlocked steelhead
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|is all of this because there are more hatchery fish in the system. a second generation offspring will come back unclipped and look like a wild fish but will not fight like one or seek the same place in the river as a wild fish.
|Sharp Steelie
This is a really interesting thread. Tried the Kalama a few
times this winter/spring and have yet to see a single
Steelhead in it. Found fish in the Toutle system just to the
North and the Lewis system just to the South. Concure with
the winter runs seeming lethargic this year. Had landed
a small Steelie on the SF Toutle that in my opinion fought
like a Walleye! In the same stretch of water hooked into a
larger sucker that actually put up a better fight than the
Steelie. That particular small Steelhead wasn't even much
of a challenge - completely opposite of summer runs from
last year!
I'm wondering if the reports of lethargic fights and steelhead holding in slower water, especially on the Skagit and Sauk could be due to the inreased level of suspended solids still in the river. This could be affecting the ability to recieve oxygen through the gills. It would be expected that the suspended material would drop out in slower water and the fish may be able to find more oxygen in these lies.
Just a thought.
|beau purvis
Interesting observations RA. I could take those same comments and aply them to the Dean last summer.I was there all summer. the water levels were abnormaly low all summer, except for a couple of bumps.There were major riverbed changes from prior fall floods.The runs were down. In particular,we noticed the fish seemed to burst through the section we were fishing and were disapointing inn terms of not displaying the traditional robust fighting qaulity of Dean river fish.We also were constantly thinking they were late,until we ran out of season.Never heard of a fish without lice below the canyon until mid august.Definitely no lingering. only places they seemed to hold were at obstructions caused by low water{remarko reef]. I have heard really poor reports from the Gold!Beau
Different lies
Any hooow,
To answer the question... the steelhead that I have hit in the last couple of weeks have been in "standard" steelhead water. What has been a bit unusual is that very few of the fish have taken the fly on the "inside" or towards the latter part of the swing. I think that this points back towards the "nonaggressive mood" that the fish seem to be in lately - they are not willing to "track" a fly very far right now, and the fish that are being caught happen to be the ones where you get a bit lucky and happen to put the fly directly in their face and therefore the fish does not have to move hardly at all to take the fly. The takes for me recently have been mere "stoppings" of the fly, or just "ticks", both indicators of fish not moving far from their lies to take the fly. Disappointingly lacking are the "strong grabs", and "incrementally increasing two ton weight" type takes, which are the "usual" anticipated takes of our April fishery, and indicative of a fish that has moved a significant distance to take.
I thought at first that water temperature was the cause of this phenomona, but the Skagit has been reaching upper 40's in the afternoons, and the Sauk has been even higher. These are temps that should be inducing high states of activity in the fish, with resulting aggressive grabs. But, the fish that happen to be passing through lately, seem to be in a very focused state of getting from point A to B with very little and brief "lingering" in between. I have seen this same circumstance occur up on the Skeena systems, where physical evidence of the presence of fish is much more evident (active rolling and porpoising). I have stood in runs full of obviously moving fish (constant sightings of rolling fish occuring consistently every couple of minutes throughout the entire day), and had takes on the fly only occasionally. The few takes that did occur were not very aggressive in nature. Also, the majority of fish hooked under these circumstances did not "rip it up" during the fight, seeming "asleep" or "in a trance" when hooked. These conditions always occured when the fish were running "late", and that appears to be what is happening so far this April on the Skagit/Sauk. Of course, we are also dealing with a low return this year also.
Different lies
It's been a real weird Spring so far...
- 85+% of "holding water" on the Sauk is sanded in. There are darned few "clean" areas of rock.
- Sauk bar looks better than it has in over 10 years, but isn't producing as good as it looks.
- steelhead takes for the past couple of weeks have been quite non-aggressive in nature.
- steelhead hooked in the last couple of weeks have not fought well.
- the proportion of bright to dark steelhead landed for the last couple of weeks has been unusually high on the bright side of the scale.
My take for what it's worth, just theory, mind you. Fish are running late this year (unusual # of bright to dark), and are therefore "charging hard" up the river (tentative takes/lethargic fights - ruled out temp as a cause, the Sauk has been up to 50 degrees on some days already). The "charging" means that the fish are taking less time to hold, which makes them less susceptible to being caught on the fly. I also do not think that we have any real substantial pushes of fish moving through, just small, sporadic bursts. "Catching" this year seems to really hinge, more so than usual, to being in the particular run that a fish or two has chosen to hold in for a short time, and not being in the 25 other holding spots that look good but are barren. It all boils down to the fact that not enough fish are moving through to "fill up" a bunch of runs like back in the "good old days".
|wet fly
Your problem is
Kerry, Your problem is you have been where the fish should not be when they are there. You have been where the steelhead should be when they are not there. Simple as that. Jerry
|Living next to the Skagihomaguamish I started re-learning the river as soon as the flood waters receded. I have been on almost every stretch of water from Marblemount to the forks and from Darrington to the mouth more then a few times. I have learned where the new runs are, where the old ones are not and where even older ones are again. I can tell you where to run your sled, drift boat, pontoon boat and where you should not. I have spent hours on classic runs without a take and a few moments in places a steehead should not be. Where have I had most of my takes? In those places a steelhead should not be. I am not complaining. I am puzzeled.
Kerry, while I haven't fished much this spring I've done exceptionally well. I don't think steelhead have changed the type of water, but as the floods go so does the holding water. We all know perfect runs that for some reason don't hold fish, the slow deep water you speak of may have some new structure effecting the current?
|Brian Simonseth
I have to find that river!
The two steelhead that I hooked since March 1st were both found in the bottom half of tailouts. I've managed to hook dollies virtually every time out though in water I expect to find steelhead.
Yep, new water
Many good pools on the Skagihomaguamish have been silted by the floods, and new pools and runs have been created. As Dec once commented to me - time to relearn the river!
Than being said, the steelhead I've hooked and witnessed hooked/landed this year have all come from typical steelhead water. It's just in different places this year.
Personally, I'm finding the same thing on the upper Rogue.
'Classic holding' water from past years has shown me very in the way of results. Places I'd rarily fish are producing the most hook ups. It appears that a few squirts of high water last, and this, winter really changed severl major lies.
In one major case it looks like all the gravel that the fish would hold in has been swept clean right down to bed rock. To make things even more interesting (lower Modoc Ponds bar) has had a major tree dump into the river. That will screw up casting/fly swing .... sigh.
Hey Kerry...
Interesting question. Post February 28th, I haven't hooked a fish in either traditional water or the water you describe. I just attributed it to few fish around. In the winter season I managed to hook a few and all seemed to be in the lies I would expect. All that proves though is that is the water I was fishing. Curious to hear what others think.

abilities. The main character should be in command of a 2 soldiers squad,
learn the advantages of various weaponry, and features and patrol routes
of his enemies, in order to accomplish his mission. There are many situations
when a straight running through the level won't allow you to accomplish
the task successfully. When your enemies outnumber you and are much
stronger, you are forced to take the way of careful planning and collective
action. A set of simple commands allows controlling your computer teammate
and performing simultaneous actions such as scouting, taking favorable
positions, luring an enemy to an ambush, maneuvering, covering, and
others. The enemies will possess virtual seeing and hearing abilities.
For example, in a dark place you can escape many patrols and sneak to
the enemy's back, where you would be heard by the nearest patrol if
stepped boldly and loudly. Game missions will take place within facilities
as well as at the open places. There will be over 12 levels created
for the entire game. A plotline will lead the character through all
of them, allowing him to collect 10 types of weapons and face 9 different
types of opponents and monsters. There will be many moving machines
and mechanisms on each level, which will add to gameplay's interactivity.
A network game will host up to 8 players in different deathmatch or
cooperative games.
Game Engine Features:
Vital Engine ZL™ is a game engine supporting 3D accelerators but not
supporting software rendering. The engine's operation is based on a
portal system, which allows rendering high detail scenes with a lot
of polygons. Another important engine's feature is the possibility to
render vast rooms and open spaces. The engine also supports particle
systems and object hierarchy: each part of an object can be rendered
separately (for example, you can animate the legs of a character separately
from its other body parts). For the purpose of character animation we
have designed special software module - the motion manager - integrated
into the level editor. Motion manager powered by improved technology
enables a designer to create characters with realistic animation and
avoid different drawbacks of phase animation such as character's "leg
slipping", polygon collisions, etc.

Eastern's comeback comes up just short against Sam Houston St.
Cheney, WA - It would have been the mother of all Eagle comebacks.
Eastern Washington University rallied from a 35-0 halftime deficit to pull within three points in the fourth quarter, but Sam Houston State was able to hold off the Eagles for a 45-42 win at Roos Field Saturday (Dec. 15) in the semifinals of the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision Playoffs.
After falling behind 35-0 in a disastrous first half, the Eagles scored 28-straight points behind backup quarterback Vernon Adams to get back into the game. But the Bearkats put the game away with 10 fourth-quarter points and a pair of first downs in the last possession of the game.
The loss spoiled a record-breaking performance by EWU wide receiver Brandon Kaufman, who broke the FCS record for single season receiving yards. He finished the season with 1,850 yards (93 receptions and 16 TD) to break the record of 1,712 previously held by Eddie Conti of Delaware in 1998.
Kaufman finished with nine catches for a career-high 215 yards and three touchdowns, with his yardage ranking fifth in school history. Adams, who relieved starter Kyle Padron late in the first half, finished the game 14-of-26 for 364 yards and equaled the school record Padron set a week earlier in a 51-35 victory over Illinois State with six touchdown passes.
In November and beyond, Eastern is now 13-1 since 2010, and 22-4 since 2007. The Eagles, who have won 11 games since 2010 when trailing or tied in the fourth quarter, lost for the first time in eight games at home this season, and are now 17-3 at the Inferno since 2010.
"It was obviously a tale of two halves when you look at the game," said Eastern head coach Beau Baldwin. "When you get down to four teams in the country, you are going to end up in a good ball game. My hat goes off to Sam Houston. They played a very good football game.
"We are not into any moral victories no matter who we are playing," he continued. "I told our guys in the locker room I was really, really proud of our guys to be where we were at 35-0, and to not just fight back with what you saw on the field, but to fight back with their attitude in the locker room, and their attitude coming out of halftime and to stay together. That allowed us to have an opportunity to still have a shot to win a game when no one expected us to. I am very proud of that."
Junior Ashton Clark added five catches for 135 yards and a touchdown, and senior Greg Herd had four grabs for 88 yards and a touchdown. Padron was 8-of-16 for 117 yards and was sacked four times.
Defensively, senior Zach Johnson led the Eagles with 12 tackles, giving him 324 in his career to rank seventh in school history. Juniors Allen Brown and Ronnie Hamlin each had nine stops.
Eastern finished with 523 yards of total offense and Sam Houston State had 503. Eastern's total included 481 passing yards while the Bearkats had 459 of their yards on the ground. In the second half, Eastern had a 360-250 advantage.
The Bearkats punched its ticket to a repeat trip to Texas to play for the NCAA Division I title against North Dakota State. The championship game is Jan. 5 in Frisco, Texas, at 10 a.m. Pacific time on ESPN2. Eastern played and won in the game in 2010; Sam Houston State played and lost in last year's title tilt to NDSU.
Second-seeded Eastern, which was ranked fourth in the final regular season Sports Network Top-25 poll, finished the season 11-3. The Eagles, who had won five games in a row, defeated Wagner 29-19 in the second round on Dec. 1 and Illinois State 51-35 in the quarterfinals on Dec. 8.
The Bearkats improved to 11-3, and ended the regular season ranked fifth and were unseeded in the playoffs. But they knocked off Big Sky foes Cal Poly (18-16) and Montana State (34-16) in consecutive weeks to open the playoffs. A year ago, the Bearkats eliminated MSU in the quarterfinals (49-13) and Montana in the semifinals (31-28).
Both teams have advanced to the national championship game in the past two years, with EWU defeating Delaware 20-19 for the 2010 title and Sam Houston State falling to North Dakota State 17-16 in 2011.
This week's EWU-SHSU meeting is only the beginning, as the two teams announced last June that they will start a home-and-home series beginning in the 2013 campaign. Eastern will travel to Huntsville, Texas, to play Sam Houston State on Sept. 28, 2013. The Bearkats will then play in Cheney at Roos Field on Sept. 13, 2014. The only previous meeting between the Eagles and Bearkats came in the quarterfinals of the playoffs in 2014 when Sam Houston State rallied from a 34-14 fourth-quarter deficit to win 35-34 on the game's final play.
A year ago, Eastern won six of its last seven games, and narrowly missed the playoffs with a 6-5 record. Meanwhile, Sam Houston State rolled to 14 consecutive football victories and its first outright Southland Conference football title. The Bearkats were the No. 1 seed in the playoffs and advanced to the championship game in Frisco, Texas, located just 200 miles from their campus.
A year earlier, Eastern finished the 2010 season with 11-straight wins, including a 20-19 victory over Delaware in the title tilt in Frisco. Sam Houston, meanwhile, was 6-5 in its first season under head coach Willie Fritz.
Eastern is now 11-8 in nine playoff appearances (1985, 1992, 1997, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2012), and had their six-game playoff streak snapped by SHSU. The Bearkats have now made six appearances in the playoffs (1986, 1991, 2001, 2004, 2011, 2012).

Saving the Ocean One Cleanup—and One Jar of Pickles—at a Time
Posted On September 14, 2012 by Catherine Fox
Nicholas Wheeler of Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, has been busy this summer canning some seventy jars of pickles. What do pickles have to do with the ocean?
The 14-year-old is quick to draw a direct link. Among the weirdest things he's found during beach cleanups was a full jar of pickles that had never been opened. Besides, they're one of his favorite things to munch on.
"My mom's grandmother had a pickle recipe," he says. "I wanted to try it out because I love pickles. I'm going to sell them and give the money to Ocean Conservancy because ever since I was little, I've loved the ocean." Continue reading »

Nursing Administration is responsible for the professional practice of approximately
130 licensed nursing personnel throughout the Department of Public Health.
Nursing Administration's vision and mission align with the County's strategic goals
of workforce excellence, service excellence, and organizational effectiveness.
The Nursing Director leads a core group of professional nursing staff in:
Public Health Nurses
Public Health Nurses (PHNs) are Registered Nurses who have a Bachelor of Science
degree in Nursing and a Public Health Nurse Certificate issued by the state of California.
Many of our PHNs also have a master's degree in Nursing or Public Health, as well
as other specialties.
Public Health Nursing promotes the well-being of the community and seeks to promote
health and prevent disease, disability and premature death. PHNs strive to improve
the quality of neighborhood life by working in partnership with community residents
and partners to create the conditions that ensure healthy lifestyles. The PHN may
focus on a specific geographical area or on a special needs population.
Ask the Nurse
Public Health Nurses can be found at various community sites and at other places
where large numbers of people gather. The nurses work with community agencies to
ensure families and individuals receive services they need through
on-site and telephone consultation. The nurses involve other disciplines, such as,
health education, nutrition or environmental health specialists when needed.
PHNs work closely with other members of the Public Health Team to address community
concerns that affect the health and quality of life of residents in their neighborhoods;
building on existing community strengths and assets. PHNs seek to reduce health
problems or increase neighborhood resiliency and capacity by promoting changes in
community norms, attitudes, awareness, beliefs, practices, and behavior. Whenever
possible, PHNs assist the community to bring its concerns to policy makers and organizations
in order to achieve long term improvement in community health.
Families and Individuals
Through their focus on Healthy People 2010, PHNs improve the health and well-being
of community members. Some of the areas of focus include:
Public Health Nurses provide additional information to individuals and families
to address concerns about communicable diseases, lead poisoning, sudden infant death
syndrome, pool safety, safe surrender laws and pregnancy

Make these flavorful potato patties the centerpiece of an Indian dinner. You can have them mixed and made in 45 minutes.
Garam masala is an Indian spice blend that is available in many supermarkets. You can substitute equal amounts ground cumin, black pepper, cinnamon, cloves, coriander and cardamom.
These flavorful patties are hearty enough to stand alone without the need for buns. If you prefer them as a sandwich, burger buns would work well.

As one of the original chefs to combine French techniques with local and seasonal ingredients—a practice that results in dazzling dishes with robust flavor—Charlie Palmer is one of the most influential pioneers of new American cuisine. His first restaurant, Aureole, which opened in a townhouse on Manhattan's Upper East Side in 1988, instantly defined a new category of modern luxury restaurant—one as stylish and chic as it is serious about food—winning rave reviews for novel dishes that have since become classics, such as the scallop "sandwich" and duck three ways. Today, Palmer has received virtually every honor the food-and-wine world can bestow, and his 11 restaurants, two wine shops, and two hotels span the country from New York City to Northern California's Sonoma County.
Palmer also has a true eye for talent: The celebrated chefs who have emerged from his kitchens include David Burke, Michael Mina, Bryan Voltaggio, and, most recently, Dante Boccuzzi.
Palmer signed up Boccuzzi fresh out of the Culinary Institute of America in 1991. Aureole had just received three stars from The New York Times, and young chefs were competing for positions in its groundbreaking kitchen. During an internship there, Boccuzzi displayed such consistent performance and obsession with detail that Palmer decided to put the young man on staff.
More than two decades later, Boccuzzi is quietly building his own gastronomic legacy in northeastern Ohio, where he grew up. After returning to Cleveland in 2007, he quickly earned critical acclaim for both his modern American cooking at Dante and his cutting-edge Japanese cuisine at Gingko. He also owns the DC Pasta Co. in Strongsville, Ohio, and this summer he opened DBA (for Dante Boccuzzi Akron), which also offers a modern American menu.
Dante, located in a gorgeous former bank building in a historic Cleveland neighborhood called Tremont, is Boccuzzi's most ambitious effort to date. The invention of a resourceful chef with many stamps in his passport, this restaurant's modern American cuisine is liberally accented with Italian, French, and Asian culinary influences. His five-course tasting menu, for example, might include farro with braised artichokes and basil foam, a Maine lobster spring roll with asparagus and ginger sauce, branzino with pickled ramps and cardamom-spiced carrot puree, or duck breast in green curry.
The 41-year-old chef's repertoire might seem a bit polyglot, but it reflects his far-ranging résumé. In addition to Aureole, Boccuzzi has cooked at Armani/Nobu in Milan, at Mandarin Oriental hotels in Hong Kong and San Francisco, and at the L'Albereta resort—where he worked alongside Gualtiero Marchesi, one of Italy's most innovative chefs—in Franciacorta, Lombardy.
Boccuzzi's ability to weave so many varied influences into a singular style of cooking is one reason Palmer sees him as the future arbiter of American cuisine. But the fact that the Ohioan has brought that worldly sophistication back to his hometown is even more significant: His efforts not only demonstrate the advantages of local ingredients, but also heighten consumer appreciation for ambitious cooking. Eventually Americans in smaller cities will be eating as well as those in the epicurean capitals. Rising kitchens, so to speak, lift all menus.
DANTE BOCCUZZI: When I came out of cooking school, Aureole was the place to be. Everyone was talking about it, and you were doing all this up-and-coming stuff no one had seen before. There was a lot of competition among us to work there. Plus it was the only restaurant you had, so you were there every day, in our face, making sure everything was right. You were always trying to achieve perfection.
CHARLIE PALMER: The kitchen was intense. There was a lot of talent, and a lot of these young people right out of school wanted to prove themselves. At the time, we were experimenting a lot, and you did really well at creating your own dishes. But you
also had respect for the classics. How many times would I say, "We can't do stupid food"?
DB: I didn't talk the first four months. I remember standing in the salad section and you coming in and asking, "Is this kid all right?" I was scared! But I was also concentrating on doing the best I could.
CP: What's unique about you is, you learned everything you could from me and my chefs, but then you went on and had experience with Nobu, which was a drastically different kitchen from Aureole. We all take all those ideas that we learn—some good,
some bad—and eventually craft a cuisine that's our own. That's where you excel—taking different experiences and creating something that's your own. Take rabbit prepared three ways—a dish ripped off from the Aureole menu way back when. We started that whole-animal usage, where you take not just the loins but the legs and use every part. But you do it with Mediterranean flavors—more the South of France. Or tuna tartare. Back in the day it was kind of revolutionary, and now every menu in the world has it. But your interpretation is unique, with the poached egg and the olive-caper rémoulade.
DB: At Aureole, you would write a recipe on a piece of paper and draw a diagram so we'd know how to present it, and I have kept notes like that every day ever since—well, now I'll add a photo. I have 3,000 to 5,000 recipes in my database. There's always some type of inspiration, and one dish I do all the time is a Charlie Palmer classic: the sea scallop sandwich. At Aureole, I would do 30 to 40 of those a night and eat all the leftovers. It's just this intense dish, with scallops encrusted in shredded potatoes. When I'm doing the chef's table at Dante, with 21 courses, I'll put it on the menu with a personal spin.
CP: You've gone back to the city where you grew up, and that in itself is an example of the future of food in this country: chefs going back to their roots. What you're doing in Cleveland will grow, and people in Cleveland will understand you're bringing something special to them. It's pretty ballsy to do a world-class restaurant in downtown Cleveland, especially a Japanese one. But the future of food is not just in major cities. Food prepared at your level makes it better for American food as a whole.
DB: I never really wanted to come back. After I was at Aureole five years, I came back for a little while, but at that time it was really uninspiring; there was nothing going on. Now it's all changing with the farm-to-table movement. And I'm an instant superstar, at least every time I go to Home Depot.

Odrick and Misi are a couple of back-ups on a good team and starters on a bad one. They are football nobodies. They are what we got for trading down when Earl Thomas was Right There.
"Hey, how'd you like to have a young Ed Reed hold down the secondary for 10 years?"
Im sure Im not the only one who was screaming at my tv when we traded down that day. How come everyone else in the football universe can make better picks than the GM of my favorite NFL team?
At least we didn't pick Taylor Mays.
Ireland is playmaker averse.... he's a joke.
Honestly didn't think Thomas was going to be as good as he is, but trading down and having two chances at Gronk, a guy lots of people here were raving about, that's what hurts.
Reshad Jones is better.
Deshaun Watson is the TRUTH!
It's easy to go back and look at missed picks by any team. Not an Ireland fan but he is here for this off season so at some point you need to accept it and focus on FA and the draft instead of looking backwards.
Earl Thomas had everything you could ever want in a DB, he even had the guarantee of a star on his resume. he was a sure fire 100% guarantee. Thomas is the only player outside of Willis taht made me say holy cow, this guy is the next best thing to hit hte NFL after wtching just 2 tapes of him. It was unreal, instincts, form, technique, movement, agility, speed, accerlation, hands, i mean you could NOT find 1 thing to tell him to improve on without being a complete idiot.
Isn't this the guy who can't tackle running backs and got trucked by the back up falcons midget rb?
Aint losing sleep on this considering we have Jones

Horace Kitchens, a retired state trooper, knows a speeder when he sees one.
This week he has two on his radar – his South Pontotoc boys and girls soccer teams – that are putting the pedal to the metal in the MHSAA Class 1A-2A-3A playoffs. Both play in a state semifinal this week.
"They are giving it everything they've got," Kitchens said. "These are the best boys and girls teams I've ever coached."
The Cougars (12-5) play today at Philadelphia while the Lady Cougars (11-4) play Thursday at Clarkdale. The winners advance to Saturday's state championship matches scheduled for 9:30 and 11:30 a.m. at Clinton High School.
South Pontotoc had never had a team make it to this round, but wins last week against Southeast Lauderdale (boys) and Choctaw Central (girls) changed history.
"They're playing well, playing clean soccer, moving the ball around and taking good shots," Kitchens said. "I'm proud of them.
"We're very capable of … being in those championship games."
South Pontotoc's boys have plenty of weapons and depth, Kitchens noted. The forwards are Cole Caples and Matt Collums while the midfielders are Manuel Almazan and Sam Ivy.
"They can score on you," Kitchens said. "Defensively, we're coming together."
Philadelphia (19-0-1) is the defending North Mississippi champion.
The Lady Cougars' match against Clarkdale was moved to Thursday to allow Kitchens to coach in both semifinals. Clarkdale defeated them 3-1 last season in the playoffs.
family affair
Kitchens has two daughters on his girls' line up. Senior defender Breanna is in the middle and Tristain leads the attack with 19 goals.
Seventh grader Judith Mills, who scored the winning goal against Choctaw Central, is also on the attack and keeper Breauna Holly has nine shut outs.
Judith's two sisters, Anna and Mattie Mills, roam the midfield and have scored nearly 40 combined goals.

JACKSON — The Mississippi Hospital Association says it is working with Gov. Phil Bryant to address funding issues related to Medicaid.
Bryant remains opposed to an expansion of Medicaid, which has been advocated as a possible solution to funding reductions under the Affordable Care Act, but says he wants to work with hospital leaders to come up with alternative solutions. No concrete solutions were offered at a news conference Monday in Madison.
Claude Harbarger, leader of the MHA Board of Governors, says he is grateful for Bryant's willingness to work toward a solution.
MHA says the state's hospitals are already losing millions of dollars as they begin to implement the Affordable Care Act.
A hearing on Medicaid expansion and the Affordable Care Act is scheduled for later Monday at the state Capitol.

Easy things to do with GDB #1
I've been meaning to write some introductory articles to GDB ever since back in February at FOSDEM, where I was surprised by just how many people do not use GDB–or even know what it is! It's taken me a while to figure out a nice example, but I finally found them.
Last week I wanted to extend
ogg123, a tool for playing music files on the commandline. It supports several formats–Ogg Vorbis, FLAC and Speex–and the way it abstracts that is by passing around a
struct format_t full of function pointers to various callbacks. I was adding a new format, and wanted to know what kind of arguments it was calling its callbacks with. I could have tried to figure it out by reading the code, but it was easier to just run it in GDB and see what was happening. Here's how:
- Build a copy of ogg123 with debugging support:
wget http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/vorbis/vorbis-tools-1.4.0.tar.gz tar xf vorbis-tools-1.4.0.tar.gz cd vorbis-tools-1.4.0 CFLAGS="-g -O0" ./configure make
The important bit here is the
CFLAGS="-g -O0". This causes
configureto pass these extra options to GCC in the makefiles it generates.
-ginstructs GCC to include debugging information in the files it generates to allow GDB to relate the executable files you're debugging to the source files they were generated from.
-O0instructs GCC not to optimise the code, which makes for easier debugging.
- Start up GDB on the
ogg123you just built:
gdb -args ogg123/ogg123 ~/music/Various/Disco\ Demands/4-08\ -\ Give\ It\ Up.flac
Everything after the
-argsoption is the command you'd normally type to run the program. GDB will print out some stuff as it starts up, then present you with a
(gdb)prompt and wait for you to enter some commands:
GNU gdb (GDB) 188.8.131.5220313-cvs Copyright (C) 2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc. License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it. There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law. Type "show copying" and "show warranty" for details. This GDB was configured as "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu". For bug reporting instructions, please see: <http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/bugs/>... Reading symbols from /home/gary/vorbis-tools/ogg123/ogg123...done. (gdb) >
- Ok, the callback I'm interested in is the "read" callback, and we're playing a FLAC file so the callback is called
flac_read. I'd like to run the program until
flac_readis called, so I set a breakpoint on
flac_readby entering
break flac_readand then using the
runcommand to set
(gdb) break flac_read Breakpoint 1 at 0x40dde5: file flac_format.c, line 253. (gdb) run Starting program: /home/gary/vorbis-tools/ogg123/ogg123 /home/gary/music/Various/Disco\ Demands/4-08\ -\ Give\ It\ Up.flac [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1". [New Thread 0x7fffeb863700 (LWP 10312)] [Thread 0x7fffeb863700 (LWP 10312) exited] Audio Device: PulseAudio Output Playing: /home/gary/music/Various/Disco Demands/4-08 - Give It Up.flac Breakpoint 1, flac_read (decoder=0x637560, ptr=0x6182a0, nbytes=30240, eos=0x7fffffffe37c, audio_fmt=0x7fffffffe380) at flac_format.c:253 253 flac_private_t *priv = decoder->private; (gdb)
- GDB now has a running copy of
ogg123stopped at the very start of
flac_read. Pretty jazzy huh? You can see the values of the arguments in the second-to-last line it printed, so for example you can see that the caller has requested to read 30240 bytes of data. The various structures (
decoder=0x637560etc) aren't so useful as they're pointers, but we can deference them with the
(gdb) print *decoder $1 = {source = 0x637060, request_fmt = {big_endian = 0, word_size = 2, signed_sample = 1, rate = 0, channels = 0, matrix = 0x0}, actual_fmt = { big_endian = 0, word_size = 2, signed_sample = 1, rate = 0, channels = 0, matrix = 0x0}, format = 0x617ec0, callbacks = 0x7fffffffe3a0, callback_arg = 0x0, private = 0x6375d0}
That's pretty nice, we can see for example what format it wants the data in: little endian, signed, etc. Also, notice the line of code it stopped on:
253 flac_private_t *priv = decoder->private;
That's the next line of code GDB will execute if we set the program going again in some way. We can advance over just that line with the
(gdb) next 254 decoder_callbacks_t *cb = decoder->callbacks;
Now it's initialised the local variable
priv, which we can also print out:
(gdb) p *priv $2 = {decoder = 0x637000, is_oggflac = 0, channels = 2, rate = 44100, bits_per_sample = 16, totalsamples = 13337016, currentsample = 0, samples_decoded = 4096, samples_decoded_previous = 0, bytes_read = 24576, bytes_read_previous = 0, comments = 0x638240, bos = 1, eos = 0, buf = 0x637020, buf_len = 4096, buf_start = 0, buf_fill = 4096, stats = { total_time = 0, current_time = 0, instant_bitrate = 0, avg_bitrate = 0}}
Did you see what I did there? Most GDB commands have abbreviated forms, and the abbreviation for
p. The commands I've introduced in this article are some of the most commonly used, and their abbreviated forms are all simply their first letter:
next. You can also repeat the previous command by pressing Return, which is handy for doing a load of
nextcommands one after the other, for instance.
Ok, that's all for today. Go and have a play!

Netiquette Guidelines
Netiquette refers to the good manners we use when communicating online.
For online discussion netiquette:
1. Think of your comments as printed in the newspaper... your online comments will be seen, heard and remembered by others in this class. Before you make an emotional, outrageous, or sarcastic remark on-line, think about whether or not you would care if it was seen in your local newspaper.
2. Don't be overcome by your emotions. Take a few breaths and step away from your computer if need be.
3. Avoid self-centered comments. If you have a great idea, great. If you want to contribute to an ongoing discussion, terrific. But, don't just tell others about your problems ("I'm frustrated", "My audio doesn't work today") unless it contributes in some way to the class.
4. Avoid negativity. You can disagree. You should disagree. You can challenge ideas and the course content, but avoid becoming negative online. It will impact you negatively, hinder the class discussion, and may give the wrong impression of you to others.
5. There is no need to be aggressive online. No flaming, all caps, or !!!!, or ????
6. Be polite, understate rather than overstate your point, and use positive language. Using bold, frank, overstated language conveys an emotional aggressiveness that hinders your message.
7. Disagree politely. When you disagree politely, you stimulate and encourage great discussion. You also maintain positive relationships with others with whom you may disagree on a certain point.
8. Don't disrupt. Online dialogue is like conversation. If there is a dialogue or train of thought going on, join in, add to it, but, if you have something entirely different to bring up, wait or post it in another thread.
9. Don't use acronyms that not everyone would understand and know.

Hello everyone.
I think I've only posted here once before, so I thought I'd post here again. I've been using Linux for since about 1998 or so, and been working on different pet projects for more or less the same time. I haven't really contributed too much to any established projects, partly because I worry a lot whether people will think my code is wrong. Maybe I worry too much about that.
Anyhow, my current pet project is this. I've been working on it on and off in my spare time for the last year or so. I don't have a lot of spare time, but I've managed to partway implement a scheme interpreter. I've even gotten some of the more complicated stuff implemented. It may never end up being useful to anyone, but its been a good programming excercise, and in any case, I will probably end up using it in other projects. It's based on GLib/GObject, and I've tried to make its API similar to other Gnome APIs. I eventually want to create bindings for the Gnome API for it, but that's still a long way off.

Steamboat Springs For the second time in 2 years, the marketing consortium for Colorado's ski areas has hired an executive away from Intrawest.
Rob Perlman, 32, will become the new president of Colorado Ski Country USA at the end of August. He has been the executive director of sales and marketing at Mammoth Mountain, Calif., for four years.
Intrawest is the owner of Whistler/Blackcomb ski resort in British Columbia, Mammoth and Copper Mountain among others. For much of the late 1990s, Blackcomb was the resort to catch up to in North America. And in August 2000, Colorado Ski Country hired David Perry away from that resort to spearhead a new emphasis on marketing to the youth culture. Perry announced this spring that he would leave the post to take a job at Aspen.
Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp. President Chris Diamond said it is coincidence that Colorado Ski Country has hired two consecutive leaders away from Intrawest, but he also says it's not a bad thing.
"It's good for us," Diamond said. "(Perlman) is an Evergreen native and was in marketing at Vail for years. He also understands Intrawest's core strategies and has a deep understanding of how the competition thinks."
Diamond served on the executive committee that sought to replace Perry. Ironically, a scheduling conflict prevented him from participating in Perlman's interview. He said he wholeheartedly endorses the choice.
Diamond noted that Perry's hiring marked a major shift at Colorado Ski Country, away from a public policy organization and toward a marketing organization.
Previously, the top executive at Colorado Ski Country was always a well-connected attorney, Diamond said. Perlman will become the eighth president of Colorado Ski Country in its 39 years.
Perlman's mission will be to reestablish Colorado as the number one winter sports destination in the minds of skiers and riders in their teens and twenties, Diamond said.
That was Perlman's claim to fame at Mammoth.
The large California resort had been complacent about the shifting demographics of skiing and snowboarding and consequently lost market share. Perlman reversed that trend.
Perlman said this week that reinvigorating Mammoth required a balancing act between building appeal among young vacationers while holding onto aging baby boomers.
Young skiers and riders are drawn to challenging and diverse ski trails, he said.
"First and foremost, they want vast terrain and a resort experience that caters to their interests," Perlman said. Terrain parks and high-speed quad chairlifts score points.
Perry quickly made his mark by convincing Colorado resorts, including Steamboat, to host live rock concerts at the base of their lifts something that was successful at Blackcomb and did not seem to alienate aging Baby Boomers.
Perlman said he has no intention of working to increase in-state skier days in his new role.
"I'm not going to duplicate the efforts the resorts are currently making," Perlman said. "I want to complement rather than duplicate. I'll be focused on attracting more skiers from outside Colorado."
Diamond said that Perlman wouldn't be able to depend upon an advertising campaign to accomplish that goal. Instead, he'll have to rely on carefully crafted public relations and communication efforts.
Perlman said he thinks it's critical to match his message to what skiers and riders will actually encounter when they arrive at resorts in the Colorado Rockies.
"There has to be a strong connection between what we decide to promote and the experiences guests have at our member resorts," Perlman said.
He wants to reinforce Steamboat's stature as the "nation's capital of skiing."
"The way we'll go after that is by sending different messages to different segments of the market. I'll continue the direction set by David Perry."

Accurate Fishing Products, originator of the patented TwinDrag® reels, has entered the single drag market with the introduction of the "Boss Fury" line of reels.
The "Boss Fury" line of reels are offered in single speed in gear ratios of 4.1 & 6.1, and 2-speed models featuring a 3.1:1 low and 6.1:1 high for the 400 and 500 models, and 2.2:1 and 5.1 in the 600 model.
These reels, like their "Boss Extreme" counter parts, are made of 6061 T6 billet aircraft aluminum for lightweight and strength. They feature a very simplistic design with stainless steel gears, wet drag for smoothness, and an ergonomic rubber handle that fits perfectly in your hand. They come with a brushed aluminum finish, are lighter, more comfortable, and very easy to use.
These reels were designed with fishermen's needs in mind. If you are chasing bullet tuna, Schoolie Dolphin, or trying to catch your first White Seabass, the Boss Fury has a size to meet your fishing needs at an affordable price.
Boss Fury reels are on sale for the best possible reason. Accurate has decided to switch from the satin finish on the Fury reels to a polished finish. That's it. The reels are identical to the newest version except for the finish.
Accurate wants us to clear out the satin finish reels and bring in the new models. Here is your one-time chance to get Accurate quality for a lot less cost. Right now there are no comparable reels of any brand available at this low price (including the other brand name that starts with an "A").
This sale lasts until we run out of these models, which won't be long.
All Boss Fury reels come with a free Jig Stop reel cover.
Part Number: FX-400X

Jay-Bird, these guys have given you some very good advise. It's never fun hearing criticism, even when you ask for it.
If this is your first go-round at training you'll do just fine. I've seen many start way worse and finish with a nice dog.
Besides the mechanics of how to do what, and when to do it. They also mention some very critical smaller points that go unseen by many.
Before "Internet" training and DVDs were around it took me a couple of years to learn these finer points by just watching and doing. A few of these points they mentioned are:
1) Holding your hand STILL and ABOVE the dogs head.
2) The tone and level of your voice.
3) Hand position for handling. Together and in center of your chest.
4) Verbal and silent backs. Each will have a time and place in advanced blind work.
Good luck with your pup!!

Shares of Nvidia (NVDA) are down 3 cents at $14.39, after Wells Fargo's David Wong cut his rating on the shares to Market Perform from Outperform, and cut his valuation range to $14 to $17 from a prior $15.50 to $18.50, writing that expectations may be too high for both its graphics processing units (GPU) and its Tegra microprocessors for mobile devices.
Nvidia is expected to report earnings a week from tomorrow, August 8th, with the Street modeling $976 million in revenue and 12 cents EPS. Wong is modeling $975 million and 13 cents.
Wong sees a twin risk to Nvidia's sales of GPUs for PC graphics. One is the chance new, sleeker notebook computers that Intel (INTC) has promoted called "ultrabooks," and other models running Intel's new "Haswell" microprocessors, will constrain the company's sales in notebook graphics; and the other risk is that after beating up on Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) in GPU sales, Nvidia may have nowhere to go but down:
Over the last few years, Mercury Research estimates suggest that GPU attach rate in notebooks has be flat to up, and notebook GPU attach rate is currently running a little above 30%. However, we think that the emergence of ultrabooks and other thin-and-light notebooks poses a risk to overall notebook attach rate. It remains to be seen whether new ultrabooks powered by Intel's Haswell chip, and lower end thin-and-light products powered by AMD's Kabini and Temash chips might result in falling notebook attach over the next few quarters […] It appears likely that Nvidia gained GPU share in the calendar June quarter, which in principle is a good thing for Nvidia […] However, a further share gain would drive Nvidia's notebook GPU share to close to 70%, a number which we think incorporates the full effect of Apple switching to using Nvidia discrete graphics in its MacBook Pro and iMac refreshes in 2012. We think it is unlikely that Nvidia could drive its GPU share much above 70%.
As far as Tegra, there doesn't seem to be enough traction in winning new device business, writes Wong, and that suggests to him that expectations for sales of the chip in the latter half of this year may be too high:
Tegra sales dropped to $103 million in the April 2013 quarter, down from $208 million in the January 2013 quarter and $244 in the October 2012 quarter. From Nvidia's overall guidance and its GPU guidance, we calculate that Tegra sales could drop as much as a further 30% in the July quarter, to perhaps close to $70 million. Nvidia said at its investor day in April that it expected Tegra sales might be flat in 2013 compared to 2012. Total Tegra sales for FY13 (essentially calendar 2012) were $723 million, suggesting an expectation of about $550 million in Tegra sales in the second half of this year. We now think this goal may be too optimistic […] Although we have seen a few announcements regarding tablets using Tegra 4, including tablets from Toshiba, HP, Asustek and others, there does not seem to be a huge groundswell of wins that might support such a large spike in Tegra sales over the next two quarters. We think that the number of competitive applications processor offerings in the Android tablet space may be growing. For example, our understanding is that various versions of Samsung [Electronics's (005930KS) newest Galaxy Tab 3 tablet use an Intel's Clover Trail + Atom processor, Samsung's own Exynos processor and a processor from Marvell [Technology Group (MRVL)].
That said, Wong also offers some developments that could end up making his negative view wrong:
Our view that investors may be overestimating the extent to which tablets might be cannibalizing the notebook market. Should there be a recovery in notebook and desktop demand in the second half of 2013, this could drive better-than-expected growth in Nvidia's GPU business […] The possibility that Tegra 4 might get better traction in tablets and smartphones than we currently expect. Many of our concerns listed above with regard to Tegra are qualitative rather than quantitative. It remains possible that Tegra 4 sales might ramp steeply in Nvidia's October 2013 and January 2014 quarters.

Family Favorite Recipes and Food Discussion!
So, I live alone which makes it hard to cook (and find cleaning up afterwards to be soul-crushing, which makes it even harder to cook). I'm also an admitted very picky eater.
That said, I love collecting and browsing recipes, and reading and participating in food discussion. :)
What are some favorite family recipes? What do you make time and time again?
I'll start us off with some of mine. :)
Pinto Beans:
-2 cups dry pintos, sorted to remove rocks and cracked beans and rinsed
-5-7 cups water (depending on the size pot)
-1 cup salsa
-1 Tbps oil
-1 tsp sugar
-1 tsp salt
-1/2 tsp pepper
-cumin and chili or chile (like cayenne) powder to taste
In a large, very heavy pot with a well-fitting lid, add the beans and water. Bring up to a boil, cover, and simmer on low for 1 hour. Add in the rest of the seasonings and simmer for another 2 hours, or until the bean juice is thick. For refried beans, use a slotted spoon to move the beans into a heated skillet and mash with a potato masher, adding enough juice so that it's slightly thinner than what you want to serve (it will thicken up as it sits). Or they can be eaten whole, with a piece of bread to mop up the juice.
Spanish Rice:
-1 cup long grain white rice
-chopped onion to taste (1/4 cup is a good starting point)
-1/2 cup tomato sauce
-1 1/2 cups water
-salt to taste
In a pot, heat up a bit of cooking oil. Add the rice and onions, and cook on medium until the rice is toasted and the onion goes translucent. Add the liquid and salt, bring to a boil, cover, and simmer 20 minutes. Fluff and serve!
Beef "Taco" Filling:
(Honestly, good for any application calling for a meaty filling!)
-1lb ground beef
-1/2 yellow onion, chopped
-1 Tbsp chili powder
-1/2 Tbps garlic powder (or a couple cloves of garlic, minced)
-3/4-1 can of tomato sauce
In a large skillet, brown beef with onions and spices (if using garlic cloves, wait until you add the sauce). Drain off the excess grease. Add in tomato sauce and simmer on low for 15 minutes, until the sauce has reduced to almost nothing. Serve in tortillas with condiments, or use as a filling for burritos, enchiladas, or anything else that can be filled. :)
In my family, we would make a half-recipe of the rice for the three of us, and then use up the rest of the (6-8oz, I forget the exact size) can of tomato sauce for the beef. :) I like rather strong flavors, so I tend to add a lot of onions, garlic, and chili powder.1. 2. (No Picture)

Well...I'm the opposite. While I certainly enjoy certain foods...and I'm not a picky eater...I'm also not remotely a foodie - If I could get away with not eating, I would .
And we - as a family - are big eaters (even me - go figure)...so I usually double recipes and hope for left-overs.
I actually don't mind clean-up...it relaxes me and I like everything neat and tidy after a meal.
I also can cook...if I get at all motivated. Too bad that only happens 2-3 X a year. I can bake too, but haven't for years.
Given a choice...I prefer my foods plain/bland...so I can actually taste the food. I'm not a fan of sauces, spices and condiments outside of salt and pepper.
Here's a Favourite Recipe...that we're having for dinner tonight:
Wienie roast in the back yard. Bison wienies -with choice of tomatoes, onions, mushrooms or sauerkraut.

My best friend and her husband are vegetarian... When we go out to eat, it's often as hard or harder for me to find something to eat than them!
My family growing up were/are big eaters too. However, leftovers often were left to mold in the fridge so it was better to just not have them! I'm trying to break myself of a lot of the bad habits from growing up, but it's really hard.
Cleaning stresses me out big-time. Part of it is probably because it seems so overwhelming with my house (and its huge mess inherited from when my parents lived here). I'm also a bit lazy and was not regularly made to do chores growing up, which makes cleaning seem even worse. I see dirty dishes in the sink, and I just shut down.
I love spices... Sauces are hit or miss, depending on what they are and how much. About the only not-out-of-hand eating food that I actually like plain are potatoes. Baked need just a pat of butter, mashed should get only a little bit of butter and milk... As much as I love garlic, I really don't like it paired with potatoes.1. 2. (No Picture)

i love to cook, but sadly all the recipes are an as you go kinda thing. but there are some that i can share but they arent from scratch kinda things.
wine chicken:
corn beard stuffing,
1 cup white wine
2# chicken breat
2 cans of cream of chicken soup
swiss cheese ( depends on how big of a batch you make, 1 thick slice per breast is usually best)
prepare the corn bread stuffing as per the bags' order, minus half-1 cup of water
lay down the chicken in the bottom of the pan. i use a very large casserole dish, but anything 2"+ deep and oven safe could work
season the chicken with pepper if you want.
put the cheese on top of the chicken
mix the soup and wine, and pour over the cheese, try to make it an even layer.
stuffing goes on top of that
and a few think slices of butter to promote browning on top.
bake at 375 for 40 mins. check for doneness (all depends on how thick the chicken was).
best surved with either green beans or broccoli imo.
i think thats one of the only recipes i have that i actually follow a recipe for.... other than that is more of a " hmmm this goes good with that..." or an old family recipe thats so engraved into my head that i just grab and go.... not sure what goes into it.... XDKING OF THE GOLD BARBS RAWR!!!!
I wonder if i plant one of my tiger barbs would the demon seed grow to a full tree?
gotta love them bunnies!
I.R.S.: We've got what it takes to take what you've got!
oh taffy recipe if you are interested....
2c sugar
1c light corn syrup
1c water
1 tbs butter
cooking spray
food coloring
a good pan (i think i used a 2 qt)
and a good candy thermometer
silicon baking mat (or parchment paper)
combine the sugar, water, corn syrup, and butter in a pan. heat till it all disolves. stirring gently with a metal spoon (you can add the coloring at this point but NOT the flavoring). when disolved put the candy thermometer in the solution so its not touching the bottom of the pan. once the solution starts to boil do not stir it. heat till it hits 245* and quickly remove from heat. then mix in your flavoring (it always varies so i cant tell you exactly how much just experiment) and stir it in quickly. pour candy out onto the silicon mat and allow to cool till its barely cool enough to handle. (while the candy is cooling you best put the pan in the sink with hot water in it along with the thermometer and anything else with candy on it. this will dissolve the candy fast and make clean up a breeze.) when cool enough to touch, start the pulling process. just make it into a big thick snake, fold it in half and stretch. repeat this process untill you feel like your arms are going to fall off, or the taffy looses its sheen. cut into 1" peices and either store in a air tight container (with something like a super dry sponge or a bag of minute rice. that will help remove the moisture from the air in the container.) or wrap with wax paper. when you get the flavor right, you will never buy store bought candy ever.KING OF THE GOLD BARBS RAWR!!!!
I wonder if i plant one of my tiger barbs would the demon seed grow to a full tree?
gotta love them bunnies!
I.R.S.: We've got what it takes to take what you've got!
I never actually measure things like chopped onions, or the spices that go into the beans or meat anymore myself. I like "recipes" where I just throw things together. lol However, when ratios of water-to-whatever are important (such as with rice), I will break down and measure. lol
I'm also trying to make my own 'mixes' for things. I grew up eating hamburger helper and the like... And while I love the taste, I don't love the chemicals and HFCS in them. On the one hand, having mixes like that are handy, and are usually one-pot meals that I actually like as leftovers. On the other hand, measuring out all the ingredients for the mixes dirties up a LOT of pieces...1. 2. (No Picture)

Got a ton of recipes but eating habits here are a bit different.
For the most part...I prefer European habits. Not all of them...but most of them...55 g Goldfish Tank - 3 Fancies, 2 Comets
25 g Tropical Tank - Celestial Pearl Danio/Mixed
Now I'm getting curious rue.
@op: What are you looking for? Things that are quick? More time consuming? Things that are easy to cook in bulk and freeze in individual portions?
Do you have a good tomato sauce in your repertoire?My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.
I'm looking for everything. :) I find the compare/contrast between different food traditions interesting. I'm not necessarily looking for recipes for specific reasons, just to see what others label as their 'family favorites'.1. 2. (No Picture)

My father's computer got a virus. Argh. Guess who's going to have to fix it? Yep. (After two hours of boring work) "I-Worm.MTX". Nice thing. I'm lucky AVP could disinfect it ':-)
Quite work in Yang today. I've added the feature of having a "map" file, so you don't have to run the program every time you want to send a group to a different address. I'm going to test it well, because it's one of the main features of the program. I mean, it's going to be one of the most used ... if someone uses it at all :-) I didn't yet upload it O:-) I was trying to put it on my tripod page, but it seems that I've lost my password r:-) So I'll try to put it in GPUL's ftp one of these days.
BTW, having a good sleep is great :-)
