Ordinarily, being a member of the House of Representatives is one of the safest jobs in America. With the advantages of free mailings, free travel and political action committee money, 96.7 percent of incumbents were re-elected in 1996, 1998 and 2000 combined.
But this year, at least four incumbents will lose the general election. In four districts, incumbents are running against other incumbents because of lost House seats and redistricting, the political equivalent of downsizing. Here in southern Illinois, where cornfields become St. Louis suburbs, the loser will be Representative David Phelps, a Democrat who says, ''I'm for working America; he's for corporate America,'' or Representative John Shimkus, a Republican who says, ''I never apologize for voting to cut taxes.''
There are such pairings in Connecticut, Mississippi and Pennsylvania, and only in the central Pennsylvania district around Harrisburg does the Democrat, Representative Tim Holden, appear to be ahead.
While no single small set of districts will determine control of the House, campaign officials in both parties agree that the uphill road Democrats face in these 4 prominent races emphasizes the difficulty of their challenge. If Republicans do win 3 of these 4, that means the Democrats will need a net gain of 9 in the other 35 or so competitive races to control the House.
Howard Wolfson, executive director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said Democrats had one substantial advantage in the Connecticut, Illinois and Pennsylvania races -- well-organized get-out-the-vote efforts. But while Mr. Holden has managed to stay financially competitive, all three Democrats are being outspent.Continue reading the main story
In Connecticut's new Fifth District, the legislative mapmaking made for an even start. It has equal parts of the old districts of Representatives Nancy L. Johnson, Republican of New Britain, and Jim Maloney, Democrat of Danbury.
In Mississippi, action by a federal court and inaction by the Justice Department on a plan by the Democratic Legislature produced a district that the Republican, Charles W. Pickering Jr., cannot lose to the Democrat, Ronnie Shows. The Pennsylvania district was created with more of Representative George W. Gekas's old district than of the Democrat Tim Holden's old district.
Here in Southern Illinois, not only is 60 percent of the new 17th District old Shimkus territory, but that territory falls in the St. Louis media market, where Mr. Phelps needs to introduce himself but cannot afford to advertise. Only the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is broadcasting his praises here, while Mr. Shimkus, the National Republican Congressional Committee and the drug industry through the United Seniors Association are promoting the Republican on television.
Mr. Shimkus and Mr. Phelps are firm supporters of gun ownership and opponents of abortion. Mr. Shimkus is smoother; Mr. Phelps, a singer and songwriter, is folksier.
Meeting with the farm bureau in Edwardsville on Wednesday, Mr. Shimkus argued that he was no rubber stamp for the House G.O.P. leadership, saying he did not want Congress to recess before adopting an energy bill, drought relief and a domestic security measure. In Godfrey on Thursday, Mr. Phelps insisted the issue was the economy, and denounced Republicans for opposing an increase in the minimum wage.
Mr. Shimkus started slowly, but he claims his most recent poll gives him a 52 to 36 percent lead. The Phelps camp argues that it is much closer, as does Andrew Theising, assistant professor of political science at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. But Mr. Theising says Mr. Phelps will need an exceptional Democratic turnout to have any real chance.
Representative Tom Davis of Virginia, leader of the N.R.C.C., calls Pennsylvania's new 17th District the most Republican of the three seriously contested member-to-member races, and says it is the only one his side might lose.
The reason is the candidates. Mr. Holden, 45, has outhustled Mr. Gekas, 72. He told retired federal employees on Monday, ''This election is about the future of the people the new 17th Congressional District.''
Mr. Gekas helps that argument along when, in response to charges that his past votes sought to end cost-of-living increases for Social Security, he once said that happened in the time of Julius Caesar. Another time he said it was in Charlemagne's era. He has been in Congress for 20 years.
Mr. Holden calls himself a conservative on social issues and an advocate of a balanced budget. But he said the 2001 tax cut favored the rich and called the Republican prescription drug bill a sham.
Mr. Gekas played the piano for senior citizens at the Shoemakers V.F.W. hall on Tuesday and assured them that Social Security was safe from any cuts or delays in payments.
At a Republican dinner in Millerstown, he praised the president for pushing foreign trade. That mattered, he said, ''not just because it creates jobs, not just because it bolsters the enterprise instinct of Americans, but because it will sustain the economy, build the economy, grow the economy and thus be able to feed and empower our armed services for the struggles that lie ahead.''
The Holden camp says its polls show him leading by 10 percentage points. G. Terry Madonna, a pollster and professor at Millersville University, finds that plausible and says of Mr. Gekas: ''Every now and then legislators run the string out. They get so removed that people don't think they care enough.''
Mr. Holden and Mr. Phelps are helped by Democrats at the top of their tickets running far ahead in their races for governor, Edward Rendell in Pennsylvania and Rod Blagoyevich in Illinois.
Mr. Maloney gets no such help in Connecticut, where Gov. James G. Rowland, a Republican, seems a safe bet for re-election.
Various public polls show Mrs. Johnson, moderate Republican, running 16 to 18 percentage points ahead. Her 10 terms on the House Ways and Means Committee have given her a marked fund-raising advantage. As of Oct. 16, Mrs. Johnson had raised $2.9 million, compared with $1.67 million for Mr. Maloney; she also had about $1 million on hand, compared with slightly more than $450,000 for Mr. Maloney.
In a race between two tough incumbents whose records are more alike than opposite, in a district with more independent voters than either Republicans or Democrats, most experts agree that her money has made the crucial difference.
While Mr. Maloney has sought to portray Mrs. Johnson as more concerned with the well-being of large health maintenance organizations than their patients, she has criticized him as a back-bencher with only a small fraction of her influence in a Republican-led House.
''It's very important for your congressman to be a very strong voice,'' Mrs. Johnson, the leader of the Ways and Means subcommittee that oversees Medicare and Medicaid spending, told an audience at a debate with Mr. Maloney in Southbury, Conn.
But Mr. Maloney points to her 20-year tenure as evidence that she is beholden to special interests. He renewed his promise to retire after his next term, his third, if he wins it.Continue reading the main story

Woah little did I know and realised that we have now stepped foot into March! Where did the whole month of February went?
It's all blurry days that zoomed pass for me now and I felt that I have a lot more of stuff that's not been done! These days it's nothing but work for a good solid 8 hours or more followed by chauffeuring my boy around for his classes and activities. That even my blogging took a back seat. Setting some priorities right and that would be for my family especially my kids. Don't want to miss out those "growing up moments" 😀
So what did we do during this year's Chinese New Year where we welcomed the Year of the Wooden Horse? Some pichas to round up our CNY hols 😉
Been ages since I went to Petaling Street and we brought the boys down to Petaling Street one of the weekend before CNY for them to see and feel for themselves the festive atmosphere.
The only mall that we managed to visit and see CNY deco is at The Curve. Love the cherry blossoms flowers and the bench available for you to take a rest. If these are only real, it would be lovelier.
Back at home, playing with their lion head. Free performance right at home!
CNY Eve
Back in my in-laws, it's the usual war cry of fire crackers each year. See who can burn up more crackers, the bigger the louder the better! Captured this when the opposite neighbour burn this cracker. Actually I'm more concern that those crackers don't get caught up in some easily burn material *phobia me!!*
CNY 1st day
Kinda force my family to take a family shot hahahaha!!!! This year's dress code co-ordinated by hubby. All in red with horses on us. So all in we have 8 horses to start off the Year 2014 😛
CNY- 2nd day
Back in KL, we had gathering with our friends. Yeah colour co-ordinated again, this time only us the parents LOL!!
CNY – 3rd day
Visited my Grand Aunt Lai Meng. Recognised her? I shall not elaborate more ^.^
In the evening, went back to my in-laws to have birthday dinner for FIL. Kiddo's cousin all back and they had a gala time playing together.
And CNY days thereafter saw me back at work and kiddos back at school. Went back into our daily routine with weekends packed with gatherings. Went to a few and had to reject a few Even managed to pack in a gathering for my own family. A really really small gathering. Alas my house can't accommodate so many people and I can't cook for a big crowd 😛
Throughout the 15 days of CNY, this year is the most pathetic for me. I love and enjoy Lion Dance Performance. This year, the only one I saw was the performance at my condo's management. Didn't have the time at all to go mall hopping to catch those performances.
But wait… in the midst of these all, we had fun in the house as well trying to balance our eggs up. It's Lap Chun day (beginning of spring) where due to gravity, raw eggs can stand upright!
Chap Goh Meh aka the last day of CNY which also sees the Gregorian calendar celebrating Valentines Day – 14.02.14 <3 <3 Prepared some sweet treats for Caden to give to his classmates and teachers. Spread the love, spread the love hehehehe…..
And what we did ending CNY and also Valentine's Day? Accompanied Cavan to his classmate CNY open house. Makan-makan chit chat and went back home to sleep. And that ended our CNY celebration.
Now where did the rest of February went coz it only stopped at Feb 14th here…..

(CBS/AP) SAN FRANCISCO - San Francisco's new sheriff Ross Mirkarimi is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday on allegations he mistreated his wife in front of their toddler son and told her not to tell anybody about it.
Mirkarimi is expected to plead not guilty. Mirkarimi's lawyer, Robert Waggener, says he will likely ask for a speedy trial.
Prosecutors have charged the 50-year-old sheriff with domestic violence battery, child endangerment and dissuading a witness. The three misdemeanor charges come after a New Year's Eve incident with his wife, Eliana Lopez, at home.
Lopez insisted Wednesday that she is not the victim of domestic abuse.
The former TV star told Noticias24, a popular news source in her home country of Venezuela, that her husband's legal troubles are a "political persecution," reports CBS San Francisco.
"There has been no domestic violence," she maintained during the phone interview from San Francisco. "This is a political persecution and Venezuelans know what that is."
Waggener also believes Lopez's lawyer may ask the judge to lift a protective order so Mirkarimi can have contact with his family.
Mirkarimi says he has no intention of stepping down as sheriff.

During my wild "pescetarian" days of no meat nor chicken, I refused to eat at McDonald's. My boycott was based upon the notorious "McLibel" suit in Britain, which pitted two lowly vegetarians against the giant corporation, and reading Jeremy Rifkin's Beyond Beef, which made any company with a business model dependent upon factory-farmed cattle wholly unpalatable, indeed. With my youthful passion long since dead, I'll eat the occasional McDonald's cheeseburger, but the concerns of an aging body have done nearly as well at keeping me away from those tempting golden arches.
A new boycott of McDonald's has taken me by surprise.
"The American Family Association has asked for a boycott of McDonald's restaurants because of the company's promotion of the gay agenda. AFA asked McDonald's to remain neutral in the culture war. McDonald's refused."
That quote, from AFA's founder and chairman, Donald Wildmon, is his group's response to, primarily, McDonald's support for the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. A secondary concern is likely Grimace's lavender visage, or maybe it's the tinkering with Happy Meals to offer fruit in place of fries. "Whose idea was that?" Wildmon may wonder. "Sounds a little 'San Francisco' if you ask me. Harumph."
Whatever Wildmon's thinking, there's no doubt he's got wood for boycotts. After all, he implies heavily that the AFA's 2006 boycott against Ford Motor Company for cozying up to gay consumers cost Ford dearly.
This new boycott got me thinking about the nature of the action and my responsibility as a dutiful consumer. Is the enemy of my enemy — McDonald's in this case — now my friend? Merriam-Webster tells me the term is so named for Charles Boycott, an English landlord who gouged his Irish tenants on rent. So, by virtue of my half-Irish heredity, maybe this boycotting business is in my blood. By definition, however, my actions alone don't constitute a boycott, which must be a concerted effort. Nevertheless, as I look at my own actions, I find there are plenty of companies, and others, who bear the brunt of my refusal to do business.
The other half of my heredity is Swiss. So is the gigantic food company, Nestlé. I've avoided Nestlé for years because of that company's baby-formula practices. I've read that's all been taken care of. I've also read it hasn't. The point, however, is that while I thought I was avoiding Nestlé — out of habit, rather than anything political, really — I was happily buying bottles of Perrier at my local Au Bon Pain. Who knew it was made by Nestlé? I suppose that's irrelevant, now, as I've just added ABP to my no-buy list. The stores' notoriously sub-par functionality finally got to me after I purchased a wrap that had been sitting in a pawed-through soup of ice water. Surely they must be wrapping these things to a waterproof degree. Sadly, no. It makes me wish there was a Cosi near my office. Then again, I've been refusing them my business for five years, following a horrible customer-service experience and no reply from Cosi headquarters to my e-mail regarding same.
I'd hoped to boycott the Nationals out of my loyalty to the gay clubs razed for their stadium. Little did I know that I have so many gay pals who are Nationals fans. My peers just think I'm being an uptight asshole if I try to stick to those guns, and I just like my friends too much to maintain my integrity.
Stolichnaya vodka, as my only Russian consumable, was in my sights as punishment for the mayor of Moscow's savagely homophobic statements about organizers of that city's gay-pride efforts. But Stoli was prepared for Michael Petrelis' pouring its delicious liquid down the gutters of San Francisco, armed with a series sponsorship on Logo.
At the other end of my internal policy debate, there are those I support when possible. I buy Lurpak butter, for example. This Danish company suffered a butter boycott in the wake of the Muhammed cartoons in Danish papers. Ali Al-Mousa, writing to the Arab News at the time — 2006 — called for more action. Do not just boycott butter, he implored.
"All Muslim countries should call upon their Danish ambassadors to tell the one thing only: To stop this mess in one week or else go home," he wrote, in part. "The decision should be united in all Muslim countries and not the decision of one country. We do not need to use the language of diplomacy." Oy.
Al-Mousa and Wildmon may be kindred spirits. Maybe Petrelis is in the mix, too. But the business of boycotts, amid lessening community, must be a losing proposition. When the gay community acted against the Florida Citrus Commission in the late 1970s for choosing the female face of homophobia, Anita Bryant, to hawk orange juice, the boycott seemed to do more in uniting the gay community than in forcing the commission to hire a less offensive spokesperson.
That community is good to have, but it's less homogenous by the second as technology allows us each to operate with ever-greater independence. Besides, I don't want to "vote with my dollars," because in that sort of arena there will always be others with far more "votes" than I. I prefer voting in a booth and having access to political leaders. I choose where to spend for the impact on my wellbeing, not Nestlé's. But if boycotting McDonald's makes Wildmon feel good, then rock on, Don. That good feeling is likely all you're going to get.
Will O'Bryan, Metro Weekly's managing editor, was born as the Stonewall Riots ended, making him a Stonewall Baby, he insists. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Serpentine Gallery presents an exhibition of the work of the celebrated American artist Jeff Koons, his first major exhibition in a public gallery in England. For his exhibition at the Gallery, Koons presents paintings and sculptures from his Popeye series, which he began in 2002. The works incorporate some of Koons's signature ideas and motifs, including surreal combinations of everyday objects, cartoon imagery, art-historical references and children's toys.
The sculptures continue Koons's interest in casting inflatable toys. Those typically used by children in a swimming pool are cast in aluminum, their surfaces painted to bear an uncanny resemblance to the original objects. He juxtaposes these replica readymades with unaltered everyday objects, such as chairs or rubbish bins. The paintings are complex and layered compositions that combine disparate images both found and created by Koons, including images of the sculptures in the series.
Featuring loans from both public and private collections, the exhibition also includes works that have never been shown publicly before.The immediately recognizable figures of Popeye and Olive Oyl are central in the series and appear in several prominent works within the exhibition. One of the most iconic American comicstrip characters, Popeye was conceived 80 years ago this year in 1929 when the Great Depression was taking hold. In Popeye's early years, the cartoon addressed the hardships and injustices of the time and, in this current period of economic recession, he is a fitting character to rediscover and explore.

Disc golf course closed during construction
ROSEBURG, Ore. - The disc golf course at Whistler's Bend Park will be closed to the public starting Wednesday.
Greg Logan with the Douglas County Parks Department says they are closing the course while construction for a new campground begins.
Disc golf tournaments already scheduled during the closure will still be held.
Logan says they have a projected completion date of October of this year for the campground.
"The campgrounds actually goes through a portion of the disc golf course, so some of the disc golf holes have to be moved in order to accommodate the new campground," he said.


text: Reading other threads concerning UV print times for various processes it seems that my times are much longer than might be expected, particularly salt prints. They are at present taking anything up to an hour or more. The actual time is more as I have to stop every 15minutes for the contact printer and glass to cool down. I am using FP4+(PyroPMK) in a frame I made myself which has 6mm Pilkington Optiglass (expensive but, so I was told, has better UV transmission). It IS quicker than ordinary glass! Attached is a picture of my printer which I made and is fitted with 8 x 15w (total 120w) Philips F15 T8 350 BL UVa tubes. They are about 3inches from the frame glass which measures 11x14 inches. I am wondering if anyone might have some idea as to why this setup is taking so long to make a print. Should I remove the inner frame which supports the print frame; I don't really see that would make any difference. Another might be to have stronger tubes but that would, I'm sure, only heat everything up even quicker. I could use thinner glass but with the times I'm experiencing now, I can't imagine any great reduction in time would be achieved.

Raleigh, N.C. — Good morning and welcome to Today @NCCapitol for Monday, July 28. Here's what's going on at the legislature and around state government.
DEAL: Nearly a month after the new fiscal year began on July 1, House and Senate budget negotiators said they had reached agreement Saturday on the outlines of a budget deal.
Budget writers reach agreement on framework Although details were yet to be worked out, top negotiators said that the $21 billion budget would offer 7 percent average raises to teachers while preserving teaching assistant positions in lower grades. Medicaid spending will be cut by $135 million, but it's unclear where those cuts will come from.
It appears work on the subcommittee budget continued on Sunday. Rep. Chuck McGrady, one of the lead education budget writers in the House, used Twitter to announce,"Ed. appropriators have completed our work; senior appropriations can weave budget parts together. Expect a vote soon, maybe this week," on Sunday afternoon.
Leaders in both chambers said they expected a completed budget to be made public early in the week, in time for votes on Thursday and Friday if all goes as planned.
VETO: It is unclear how Gov. Pat McCrory will react to the budget deal. Although he expressed frustration with the slow pace of negotiations Friday – and is a Republican like both the majority of Senators and House members – the governor has had his differences with the legislature, particularly the Senate.
In particular, he threatened to veto any budget that raised teacher pay more than 6 percent at the expense of Medicaid eligibility cuts.
Several people involved in the budget negotiations indicated that McCrory's budget team was not part of the group that crafted the compromise plan over the weekend.
REVENUE: A new report by fiscal staffers indicated that tax collections had not grown as quickly as anticipated after a new tax reform measure was put in place last year.
According to a memo Thursday from legislative analyst Brian Slivka and chief economist Barry Boardman, the updated cost of the tax cut is $680 million for the current tax year. That's $205 million, or 43 percent, higher than the original projection of $475 million.
The tax year begins Jan. 1, and the state fiscal year begins July 1, so the new numbers' impact on the current year budget are muted.
THE HOUSE CALENDAR: The state House is due to meet for a no-vote skeleton session at 4 p.m. The only committee meeting scheduled so far this week is a Finance Committee meeting on Wednesday morning.
THE SENATE CALENDAR: The state Senate will have a no-vote skeleton session at 9:30 a.m. but is expected to hold votes starting at 6 p.m. Measures on the Senate calendar Monday night include a final vote on the Senate's version of long-term Medicaid reform and this year's omnibus farm bill.
WILL SINE DIE?: If a budget deal is really sown up, it is possible the General Assembly could take a run at adjourning this week. Although the budget and a measure providing for the cleanup of coal ash ponds are the only two "must do" items in many lawmakers' estimation, there are a number of high-profile bills that could jockey for position in a push toward adjournment. They include the following:
- Medicaid reform. The House and Senate disagree on the best way to ensure the fiscal health of the insurance system for the poor and disabled. It's unlikely the House will simply accept the Medicaid reform bill Senators are scheduled to send to the House Monday night.
- Coal ash. Lawmakers are trying to bridge the differences on a plan to clean up coal ash ponds throughout the state, such as the one that spilled into the Dan River on Feb. 2. A Senate version of the plan would prescribe tighter deadlines than called for by the House.
- Taxes and economic development. The Senate has sent the House a measure that would cap what local governments could charge in sales tax as well as boost a number of state-run economic development efforts. The House has yet to formally review the measure.
- Mopeds. A bill from the state House would require moped owners to register their vehicles. Senators went a step further and passed a bill to require moped riders to carry insurance.
- Film incentives. The state's program to attract television and movie productions expires at the end of the year. The governor, Senate and House all have put forward plans to help keep the industry here, but it's unclear what the final plan might be.
- Regulatory reform. Both the House and Senate have passed different regulatory reform measures, and both have signaled that they find the other chamber's bills unacceptable.
ON THE RECORD: WRAL's David Crabtree sits down with Jill Staton Bullard, chief executive and co-founder of the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle, for a half-hour discussion on the root causes of hunger and stories of what hunger looks like in North Carolina.
CHARTERS: Changes to the state's charter school laws are headed to the governor's desk – without a section banning discrimination against gay and lesbian children and families. Critics of Senate Bill 793 also warned it could leave the door open for nepotism and corruption by leaders of for-profit charter schools.
HEALTH: The state House has saved for the time being the Child Fatality Task Force, a study group credited with lowering the childhood mortality rate in North Carolina by 32 percent of the past three decades. A measure killing the commission on June 30, 2015, was included in the technical corrections bill, a 55-plus-page measure that covers dozens of topics. Although the bill mainly concerns itself with fixing statutory references and cleaning up drafting errors in state law, it also contains substantive measures such as the task force elimination.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
It would narrow down the problem if you would do this- - when it starts to fill with water in the manner you described, immediately un plug the machine and see if it stops filling. Report back with findings. Thanks for using justanswer.
You need to replace the water valve. ( the part in washer where your fill hoses connect to ). I looked up your model and there are 3 versions of this part depending on the series of your washer. So to get the correct one call MARCONE APPL PARTS ( 1-800-392-7745 ) and give them the model, serial # XXXXX it should say series 83 ,84,85,86,or 87 on your nameplate. They can then determine the correct part. This part is around $35.00 to $40.00 depending on which one it takes. Thanks for using justanswer.
Yes , I think so it'sfairly easy to get to and only requires basic tools . Draw yourself a picture of how everything goes together before removing old one if that helps.

APALACHICOLA — Tropical Storm Fay was downgraded to a tropical depression Saturday night, but cities along the Gulf Coast were still bracing for heavy rain.
Officials in Alabama opened shelters in the coastal counties of Mobile and Baldwin. Trucks capable of rescuing people from floodwaters were also in place, said Yasamie Richardson, spokeswoman for the Alabama Emergency Management Agency.
In the New Orleans area, which is approaching the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, forecasts called for 1 to 3 inches of rain on the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain.
City officials in Slidell, La., where forecasters predicted several inches of rain late today through Monday, said emergency vehicles had been fueled and workers were on call.
Fay killed at least 11 people in Florida, emergency officials said, and the storm's overall death toll was at least 25 by Saturday. Thirteen died in Haiti and the Dominican Republic from flooding. In southwest Georgia, a 10-year-old boy was drowned Saturday by rushing waters in a drainage ditch following 10 to 12 inches of rain.
Fay, named Aug. 15, hit the Keys on Monday and crossed open water before hitting a second time near Naples. It limped across the state, popped back out into the Atlantic and struck again near Flagler Beach, about 20 miles north of Daytona Beach. It was the first storm in almost 50 years to make three landfalls in the state as a tropical storm.
Fay's center made its fourth landfall around 1 a.m. Saturday about 15 miles from Apalachicola in the Panhandle, the National Hurricane Center said. The landfall was uneventful, but heavy rain and high winds pelted inland areas.
Rains and strong wind gusts blitzed Tallahassee for more than 24 hours, knocking down trees and power lines and cutting electricity to more than 12,000 customers, city officials said.
"This is unprecedented in terms of the slow nature of this storm, the large circulation and the fact that it's impacted probably about 90 percent of the state with heavy rains and severe weather," state meteorologist Ben Nelson said.
Fay caused widespread flooding along Florida's east coast, especially in Jacksonville near the storm's third landfall.
The Office of Insurance Regulation reported Saturday that roughly 6,700 homeowners filed claims, although only some were because of flooding. That number was expected to change, and Gov. Charlie Crist has asked the federal government to declare the worst-hit areas major disaster areas.
The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, R. David Paulison, visited the National Hurricane Center in Miami on Saturday to discuss concerns of flooding on the Gulf Coast if the storm continues to creep on its path, a FEMA spokeswoman said.

Get Support - Resources for the Breastfeeding Mom
Being a new, breastfeeding mom can be hard! Fortunately, there are plenty of resources for support and help!
- Pick up a book
- Check out all the latest breastfeeding resource books at your local book store. Find one that aligns with your goals as a new, breastfeeding mom to get the most out of it.
- Not sure where to start? Check out top sellers like The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding, Ina May's Guide to Breastfeeding, or The Nursing Mother's Companion.
- Are you a working mom? Work, Pump, Repeat would be a great choice to reference!
- Don't be afraid to get a subscription to some mindless reading as well since you will have several weeks of downtime (and sitting!) while you nurse your new baby.
- Search the Web for helpful bloggers and sites
- You will find your favorites as you start becoming familiar with all the different sites out there. We suggest some of our favorites like kellymom.com and theleakyboob.com for everything from scientific, study-based data to friendly advice and support from other mamas like you from around the globe!
- Find a new parent support group
- Not sure where to start looking for such a group? Check out your local baby boutiques, birth centers, or play gyms. Most of the time, these types of places will provide classes and/or groups for expecting and new parents. Not only are these classes full of helpful information, but you can also meet other new parents who are in it with you!
- Seek breastfeeding specific help
- The La Leche League is a breastfeeding support group that can help women with common breastfeeding issues and also provide support as a new mother.
- The IBCLC site has links to a Lactation Consultant in your area when you may need more than support. Their lactation consultants can help with diagnosing and remedying any medical issues that may affect breastfeeding.
- Oftentimes, your baby's pediatrician will be able to make a referral to a good lactation consultant or may even have a qualified lactation professional on staff.
- Last but not least, call a friend or relative who is nursing currently or has recently. Sometimes, the best help is closer than you think.
- Remember, don't be afraid or embarrassed to ask for help. Breastfeeding can be a challenging and frustrating experience, especially in the first few days. You will likely learn from friends and relatives who have struggled that it's worth it to seek the help you need in order to achieve your breastfeeding goals.

Today Elvie turns fourteen months old, and as usual, I can't believe that another month has gone whooshing by. I love this stage of Elvie's life, as she slips from babyhood into toddlerhood. Well, maybe it's more like she is charging from babyhood into toddlerhood; she's not really the delicate type. She wants to reach out and grab everything, move faster, get into more stuff, make more faces, make more friends. She is full of such joy, and though I've captured some more serious moments this month, mostly it's her happiness that always shines through. I say, "Keep shining, baby girl." And as for the rest of you, enjoy these fourteen photos of our little sunshine's fourteenth month.
14 Moments of Sunshine
Whether serious or silly, my baby girl always glows. Here are fourteen of my favorite photos from her fourteenth month.
Who Needs Drum Sticks?
Whether we can locate the drum sticks or not, Elvie is always up for an enthusiastic drum solo.
Her Very Own (Very Messy) Muffin
Before this past month, I'd always just shared what I got at our local bakery with Elvie. But now that she's eating really well, she often needs something of her own. This was the first time I ordered something just for her. She loved it, made a giant mess of it, and inadvertently fed about half of it to some very happy pigeons.
She Still Adores Her Big Sister
In fact, she is more eager than ever to follow Zinashi wherever she goes and do whatever Zinashi is doing. This is not the best thing when there are markers involved, but I love seeing how she looks up to her big sis.
Our Little Baby Bear
We think she's the cutest baby bear ever, extra cuddly, with extra silly expressions.
Stretching Tall with Her Mail
Elvie went through a brief, but hilarious, phase of wanting to lift everything up high to look at it. Sometimes she looked like she was doing yoga. I suppose you can do yoga anytime, anywhere, even when sending out your mail.
Getting Into Things
She knows what she's not supposed to have, and those things are the things she wants most. When she manages to grab something while I'm busy, she always looks so disappointed when I tell her that she needs to give it to me. Because really? Isn't she being cute enough to keep it? Um, no.
Making Friends
This is one of my very favorite images from the month. She was clapping and waving and making friends with a woman across the street while we were waiting for the streetcar. Classic Elvie.
Serious for Once
Serious about keeping up with the big kids at the park, that is.
Bedhead to Rival Einstein's Famous Hair
How she does it, I don't know, but sometimes she wakes up looking like she's stuck her finger in a light socket. Her bedhead is always cute, but this is my favorite bedhead style.
Trying to Join the Ballet Class
Every week now, she tries to crawl across the dance floor to join the big girls at the barre. One of these days, she's sure she's going to make it. I'm pretty sure of that, too.
After Dinner Conversation
She's clearly having a serious discussion about something with her Ababi. Maybe she is trying to discuss which of the Ethiopian foods we ate that night was her favorite.
Asleep on the Bus...Again
When she's in someone's arms and the bus is swaying just so, she can't say no to nap time.
Wearing a New Size of Pajamas
This was the month that she started to outgrow some of the things I've had laid aside for her from the beginning. I had to order a whole new stash of pajamas thanks to mid-month growth spurt. I love footie pajamas on babies, so I didn't mind getting to choose some new ones.
Keeping It Silly, Always
It's just her way. If you're not smiling, she'll fix that for you. If she does her best work, she'll elicit a laugh. She does her best work a lot; I'm pretty sure she'll continue to develop her skills well into her fifteenth month. I can't wait to see what new antics she comes up with.

Earthlings Anonymous For Star Children
Living among the muggles* I have spent decades hiding my secret life as a spiritual being. I remember as a child being terrified thinking my mother (a therapist) might put me in a funny farm. I even made my big brother promise he would not let that happen! Poor guy. He was worried for me too…
I was always so strange. I was a full-blown flower child, a starseed who thought the world existed for us to share, and that we are meant to support each other. And for decades I was able to live in and create that around me. I look back now and wonder how I managed not to get robbed, raped, or killed? I wandered through most of my life trusting absolutely everyone. Read the rest of this entry »
Are You A Star Child?
One the best Tarot readings I have ever had was many years ago, using a very old-fashioned method – I wrote a letter and mailed my questions to the reader. This lady was amazing and sent back a cassette tape of the reading. Her soothing voice from the tape deck told me my soul came from another planet. That was the reason that I was different and felt different, she went on to say to vive a la difference and enjoy my individuality. I did not know it at the time, but she was telling me I was an Indigo Child. The reader told me I was different, and to embrace it. The process and her insight were fascinating and I have been forever changed by her words. Read the rest of this entry »
An Astral Visitation With Michael Jackson
I recently experienced another astral visitation with Michael Jackson, whom I have connected with him on several occasions since his passing. I have always felt a deep connection to the famous singer. We are both Virgos and he was born only two days before me. He was also born in the same city my mother and her family grew up in, and some of my uncles attended school with him and his brothers.
Our prenatal birth charts show that both Michael and I originate from Alioth. Alioth is one of the seven stars that make up the "Big Dipper." I have done much research on this and find it very interesting. We both have the same star strength and many things in common. I was even a professional dancer myself at one point in my life, and I have also had to deal with negative people that try and bring you down, because of either jealousy or insecurity, like Michael did. I have always felt connected to his energy and my being resonates with his song lyrics. Read the rest of this entry »
How About Those Lucky Stars?
Do you know someone that seems to have all the luck? They win lotteries, hit the jackpot at the casino, are drawn for the first prize in raffles. Everything just seems to fall into the lap of these lucky people. Were they born under a lucky star? Can the heavenly bodies be the reason for this unexplainable luck? Can the cosmos affect a person's psychic ability?
Lucky folks seem to breeze through life without a care in the world. I have a friend that swears she paid her new car off with her winnings at the casino. Another says she remodeled her house with her winnings from the lottery. But I'm fully convinced that while we may hear about the winnings, there are many losses that are never talked about.

The Astrological Significance Of The Pleiades
I recently watched this amazing dance performance in a YouTube video which reminded me of special set of stars, and the power they hold in determining our path through life. The dance, titled Pleiades, was inspired by the grouping of stars by the same name. Not many people know that the Pleiades are actually significant in astrological terms.
Pleiades means "Seven Sisters," and it refers to a star cluster that exists on the shoulder of Taurus (the bull) located at 00°00′ Gemini. But to understand this blog article you do not need to understand the technical dynamics of the star positioning.
In folk understanding of the Seven Stars this particular grouping of stars is often associated with homosexuality. My personal viewpoint is that they are not associated with being gay, but may very well be a contributing factor to being gay. As far as I am concerned, this particular grouping of stars is more associated with creativity, vision, passion, and often times intuitive understanding. Read the rest of this entry »
Once Upon A Time We Were Dinner
Once upon a time we were dinner. Larger, more aggressive creatures used to eat humans all the time. To this very day circumstances exist where we could still be dinner.
For instance: go to the wilderness of any continent with just a sleeping bag, a good book, a lamp, and no weapons to protect yourself and see how many days you last before you are food for other creatures.
In spite of this potential 'guess who's coming to dinner' scenario that exists still today, humans have placed themselves at the top of the food chain. This is because of the dubious theory of survival of the fittest…a proposition based on the notion that beings who occupy the most spaces on this planet are considered to be the most successful.

Witness To A UFO Sighting
I have had the unique privilege to be witness to a UFO sighting. It was back in 1977. My boy had just turned 9 years old. We lived in Upstate New York, in Westchester (anything past Yonkers was up-state to us).
It happened on a Monday night. We were on our way to a decent Chinese dinner in Ossining. We were on Route 9, traveling at about 60 miles per hour – a similar speed to the ten other cars that were traveling with us.
We lived near Indian Point, the nuclear reactor. It was located on the Hudson, Route 9 runs along side of it. Mario, my husband at the time did some work on the plant, before it opened. Mario has since passed away. Anyway, we were cruising along, and Mario said to me, "Gabby, look up there in the sky, at two o'clock!" Read the rest of this entry »
Ol' Boogeyman Still Comin' To Getcha?
In my line of work there is often an unhealthy obsession with the concept of evil. It appears we are simply not able to rid ourselves of this 'thing' we seem to have for the boogeyman (here in my country known as the tokoloshe).
Just the other day I was listening to a radio psychic scaring the living daylights out of his unsuspecting caller. She just wanted some career advice, but instead he was hell-bent on convincing her that her home was infested with evil entities. His charming co-host also jumped in to offer some old-wives' cures for getting rid of all the demonic forces. Truth be told, the only disturbance I was picking up on was the fact that the poor, freaked out woman would not be getting much sleep for weeks!
Now, don't get me wrong. The struggle between good and evil is very, very real. It is a fundamental component of the human condition. It is also the basis of all Creation. It stems from the duality found in every important aspect of our expanding Universe: dark versus light, life versus death, night versus day. Light needs the presence of darkness to be truly visible and meaningful. Read the rest of this entry »

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
So I'm still together with my separated guy who has no kids. We've been together for about 4 months now. Three weeks ago we had our last (recurring) disagreement on why he's not divorced yet. I asked him if he thought that within the next 6 months to a year if he would be ready to finally file for the divorce and he said yes, he would be more than ready, in fact, he said that a year was too much time to let pass and in far less time than that, he feels that he would expect to have gotten major headway into paperwork and be about done with the divorce by then. However, a few days after we talked, he seemed to be a bit withdrawn and was not as affectionate as his usual self. While I felt that after our long discussions my mind had been cleared and was now ready to reconnect emotionally and physically, I found that his energy level in the relationship declined and he also stopped touching me and I would only get short 1-2 second kisses goodbye. This weekend I confronted him about his behavior and he told me that he was feeling detached and knows he was not feeling like himself. He has told me that I am a good person and he does not want to hurt me so he thinks that he needs time and space to work some issues out on his own. He said that he knows that right now he doesn't have much to offer me because of his lack of security in terms of income, no car and no place of his own...he wants to purchase his own bed, tv and other appliances within the next 2 to 3 months. He said he knows that he had a lot of things on his mind for a little while and he hadn't been fair to me in the last few weeks and until after he can get those things done on his own he thinks he will be better able to give of himself to me both emotionally and financially. I told him that I understand and that is what I wanted him to do for himself also, along with initiating his divorce. He admitted to me he wants to move out and rent an apartment but his job doesn't pay much and he wants to push for a raise for himself and he also wants to re-structure the way he operates his small business so that his customers pay upfront for orders and will make a profit instead of breaking even every month. He says that when he left his wife, he didn't have a plan for himself and that he was just 'going with the flow', living at his aunt's place more-or-less for free and he realizes now that it was not getting him anywhere. Because unlike his ex-wife whom he supported and helped to finish both her Bachelor's and Master's degree, he hadn't gotten the chance to get himself together to finish his own Bachelor's degree education, and his life has become stagnated and he knows that if he wants to attain his goals he will have to start getting to point A first and then progress to B and C until he can finally get where he wants to be. He stated that he actually wants to plan what he wants for himself in the next year. He has finally talked to his boss about a promotion last week. He says between the potential promotion and his small business profits, he will be able to put aside to save for getting an apartment sometime soon. I am really happy that his thinking has progressed since my last talk with him, however, things still seem to be stagnant with regards ***** ***** filing for the divorce. And while he says he wants space and time to sort out things on his own, I feel that he is contradicting because he says that he still wants to see me, but not everyday like we used to...but only a few times during the work week, and he wants to go out on occasional dates once his finances permit, like once or twice a month. He has mentioned to me about 2 months ago that he wanted to save so we have already slowed things down since the last month or so....so I'm a little confused about what he really wants in terms of the status of our relationship. He says that he doesn't want to define us because that's not his nature but he knows that I am a planner and he understands that I would want clarity on things like that. He also says that he doesn't want to date anyone else and he is not looking. He appreciates that I have been a really good person to him and he wants me in his life and does not want to loose me. However, if we do decide to take a clean break, I know that he may want me back after he gets his things in order (not sure how long that will be though...it can be anywhere from 3 to 6 months to a year or more!).....and, I haven't told him this, but I don't think I can wait for him... I feel that I would need to date other persons because I think it might be like waiting on something that you don't know for sure will happen...given his past history of indecision, and my aspirations for a stable marriage in the future with some kids. I told him that while I still really like him a lot and I will be there for him if we do stay together, I don't think I would want to be in a relationship where he is not totally available to me emotionally. Do you think that this is the time to still support him in a relationship, or as friends, or should we just take a clean break once and for all until...? He has asked me to let him know if I prefer a clean break or to continue as we are. It will be really hard for me not to talk to him anytime I want as I usually do. When we were on the brink of a break up for a few days after the last argument few weeks ago, I was still able to call him to ask him a favor and he was so selfless....so I still feel like I want to be friends with him if we really do breakup this time because he has been so good to me and he has helped me not only as a good boyfriend, but also as a really great best friend too. What do you think about his progress and which of the options I outlined do you think can be feasible for us as a couple, as friends, or none?
Hello, I am Rafael. Thanks for asking your question - I'm here to support you. (Information posted here is not private or confidential but public).
I am very sorry to know about this frustrating situation.
You have had a young relationship, only four months, but you have had these "recurring disagreements" about his marital status and lack of consistency about filing for divorce.
It's obvious it is very important for you knowing he is truly working on taking good care of his divorce process for your relationship to evolve, but what you described just happened when you finally asked him, once more about it, shows he does have personal issues and different expectations about your relationship
His reaction, the dramatic changes after that last discussion, shows not only he's having a tough time because of personal problems, but that he does not feel comfortable, confident neither willing to work with you on making it grow and develop as a healthier and more fulfilling one.
Everything he said about his need to take good care of his finances, housing, career plans, job and more, make perfect sense, but his actions show he does not want to stay in the relationship, to work on it, and it is essential for you to acknowledge this reality, and as you said, to be very clear about your core needs and expectation, in order to take good care of yourself and know what you want and can afford or not in this relationship. His actions are already showing you his choices, now everything else depends on what you want about it.
What I suggest you to do is to continue being totally truthful with yourself honest and open towards him.
If you feel you can handle a friendship, keeping clear boundaries in order to take good care of yourself, and he does feel the same and shows capacity to make a mature friendship work, then it could be a very good option for you. Otherwise, I would not suggest anybody to keep close after ending a relationship, since most times people do tend to fuel further attachment, expectations and get more confused instead of working on themselves and on what each have decided to do about their personal lives and around the relationship they had.
Does it make sense?
Yes, it makes sense. He is and can be a good friend. And I suppose that I will have to be honest and also tell him that I will want to see other people if we do decide to end things between us.
Without full honesty and openness it is impossible to build or take good care of any type of healthy relationship
I hope your situation gets clearer and better. Thanks for your trust. Please feel free to contact me for any further support. Bye for now.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- There's never a dull moment in the world of Pandora ( P). So far in 2013 Pandora has had the angels on its side, its stock gaining as much as 110%.Remarkably, investors continue to pile money into Pandora even as rival services from Google's ( GOOG) All Access and Apple's ( AAPL) iTunes Radio have emerged. Unlike previous years, Pandora seems to have developed bullet-proof resistance from concerns that would have otherwise punished the share price. While I don't disagree that Pandora's management has been pushing all of the right buttons, I wouldn't advise investors to press their luck too much. Rising content costs is still a major issue here. Also, I don't believe that Pandora has effectively addressed its ability to monetize its business model. That said, I will give Pandora credit for being smart enough to at least think "outside the box" to mitigate the impact of these costs. But how well will it work? Last week, when I read on TheHill.com that Pandora had acquired KXMZ-FM, a South Dakota radio station, I thought it was a joke. I immediately went to the Securities and Exchange Commission Web site to make certain that it was real. Sure enough, it was. But what would Pandora, an Internet radio company, want with a terrestrial radio station? Terms of the deal have not been disclosed so I couldn't scrutinize the financials the way I wanted. However, I can say that contrary to popular opinion, this deal had nothing to do with Apple nor, for that matter, was this deal influenced by competitive positioning with Spotify or Slacker or Sirius XM ( SIRI). Was it bizarre? Absolutely! It was also pretty darn smart.

Regarding the use of titles, we're all in agreement that Robb, Stannis, Balon, etc. should be referred to in their articles as "King Robb", "King Stannis", "King Balon" etc., but the question arises of how to refer to their family members. The books make it clear that Stannis' wife Selyse is referred to as "Queen Selyse". As for Joffrey's siblings, they were "Prince Tommen" and "Princess Myrcella" even before Robert died, and continue to be so now as Joffrey's legal heirs.
This leaves the question of how to refer to Shireen Baratheon, Theon Greyjoy, Yara (ASHA) Greyjoy, Bran and Rickon Stark, and Sansa and Arya Stark.
Theon emphasizes on-screen in season 2 that he should be referred to as "Prince". If memory serves, I think Stannis and his faction refer to Shireen as a princess (they're not seceding but a rival faction for the Iron Throne). I'd have to check but I think Bran was referred to as a Prince earlier this past season. Certainly, Sansa is Cersei's prisoner and not emphasizing her title, while Arya is on the run and hiding her own name. Still, how should pages reflect this? Specifically he matter came to question in the Arya Stark article. --The Dragon Demands 16:24, June 26, 2012 (UTC)
- Arya is referred as a Princess when she, unknowingly, meets the Frey she's betrothed to.--Gonzalo84 17:44, June 26, 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you. Well that's a point in favor of the "princess" camp...--The Dragon Demands 17:46, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC) recently launched a new website dedicated to the commitment of dairy farmers and the quality of Canadian milk. The website, www.CanadianMilk.ca, provides information about 100% Canadian milk and includes six videos about healthy cows, safety standards, accountability, strict regulations, consistent quality, and innovation - all of upmost importance to Canadian dairy farmers.
"We invite all Canadians to meet and visit some of our farmers on their farm through these visually informative videos," says Geneviève Latour, assistant director, marketing & nutrition communications at DFC. "Canadian dairy farmers are very passionate and dedicated to producing high quality Canadian milk and it is beautifully captured in these videos."
The six videos follow three dairy farming families: the Bouwman family from Chilliwack, British Columbia; the Keunen family from Kerwood, Ontario; and the Irving family from Pugwash, Nova Scotia. Each family takes viewers through their farm and shows them how they ensure quality on their farm from how they care for their cows to how milk production is managed in order to produce high quality Canadian milk.
"These videos clearly reiterate that Canadians can feel confident about looking for the 100% Canadian Milk symbol and choosing dairy products made from 100% Canadian milk," adds Ms. Latour.
Look for the Symbol
The 100% Canadian MilkTM symbol is a seal of origin that guarantees the dairy products you're buying are made from 100% Canadian cow's milk. When you buy dairy products made from 100% Canadian milk renowned for its quality, purity and great taste, you're also supporting Canadian dairy farmers. Make sure to look for the symbol on the packaging when you're picking up dairy products like cheese, yogurt, butter, cream, and ice cream.
About Dairy Farmers of Canada
Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC) strives to create favourable conditions for the Canadian dairy industry, today and in the future. DFC works to maintain policies that foster the viability of Canadian dairy producers and to promote quality Canadian dairy products made from 100% Canadian milk as part of a healthy balanced diet.

Friday Movie Flashback: 'Into the Wild' 20072014-08-15 2 3 Share Tweet
This biographical film directed by renowned actor Sean Penn tells the story of a young man's journey to self-discovery and emancipation.
'Into the Wild' is the story of Christopher John McCandless (or Chris), a fresh graduate from Emory University who traveled two years before fulfilling his long-time dream of treading into the Alaskan wild.
This film was directed by actor Sean Penn and was actually based on a book by Jon Krakauer. Actor Emile Hirsch portrayed Chris McCandless and wonderfully did so to say the least. 'Into the Wild' used a different approach to tell the story of McCandless. Instead of using the traditional linear narrative, the film was told using scenes that cut back and forth to portray McCandless as a person and his journey to be truly lost in the wild.
Book enthusiasts will probably get a liking to this movie since the protagonist is quite a heavy reader who was influenced more by the writings of his favorite authors. Some scenes feature some of McCandless' own writings as he logged mile after mile hitchhiking across the United States.
It is a personal movie that dove deep into the McCandless' traveling days. Stricken with wanderlust and a thirst to leave behind the 'material shackles' of ordinary life, McCandless threw himself out in the open road with nothing but the clothes on his back and his trusty pair of boots. He also left his family behind, his identity and took up the name Alexander Supertramp. Hirsch was in character so well that you may think that he was indeed Alexander Supertramp or Chris McCandless.
'Into the Wild' will tug at the heartstrings of anyone – traveler or not. McCandless' final days in his 'Magic Bus' led to a realization. He scribbled the phrase: "Happiness only real when shared" before he succumbed to death from starvation and food poisoning. In the end, he realized that life was still better lived with the ones he loved.
Alexander Supertramp met a lot of people along the way, some of which grew fond of him. 'Into the Wild' is an emotional roller coaster with tinges of existential questions and angst. Go and have a peek. Watch the trailer here:
