Peter Gentle: Hull FC's derby loss to KR was a wake-up call that answered questions
Posted: January 21, 2013|
PETER Gentle says his side's derby defeat answered a few questions and said he is now closer to knowing his team to start Super League.
Gentle conceded there was much work to be done after watching the Black and Whites go down 28-18 at the KC Stadium in the senior side's final outing of pre-season.
Hull were patchy at best against their bitter rivals, eventually going down by five tries to three.
"I'm closer to knowing my team now, a few things were cleared up in this game and a few questions answered," said Gentle.

"There's no covering it up, there is a lot of work to be done. You could see two teams that hadn't been able to train all week, but trying to play some football.
"It was a bit of a reality check for us. We have a lot of work to do, but we know that. We were in this position last year. There were a few more questions answered in this game."
Despite the loss, Gentle was eager to play down the significance, pointing to a lack of training outside all week because of the weather, and his desire to keep switching his players around in order to give his squad a chance to stake their claim for places.
Having watched his team concede five tries, the Aussie wasn't too concerned with the defensive structure either, rather Hull's failure to retain possession.
"The possession first half was two to one in their favour, we levelled that up second half but we only completed at 50 per cent," Gentle said.
"I thought defensively we were only okay for a long period and three of their tries came from kicks. Second half we lost a bit of shape, but only conceded one try.
"With the amount of defending we did I'm not too concerned, I'm more concerned with what we were doing with the ball."

L.A. Noire, Or, How My Life Meant Nothing
Posted by Alex Gottlieb
(This article includes spoilers, including the game's ending.)
Rockstar and Team Bondi's L.A. Noire has been this year's go-to game for advocates of the idea that video games can be serious artistic works. The game was shown in the form of a film at the Tribeca Film Festival, and has been widely applauded for its excellent acting and face capture technology. It is almost impossible to argue that the game is not a through and through technological feat worthy of praise. I would be thoroughly surprised if L.A. Noire did not win at least one game of the year award from a major reviewer.
So... what's the problem?
L.A. Noire, while absolutely one of the most enjoyable games I have played this year, is, in my opinion, not really a game.
Stick with me here.

Bungie's Farewell to Halo
Bungie issued its official farewell to the Halo series and fans on Friday. The developer is putting all its resources towards its new project, which the rumor mill says is an MMOFPS. Clearly this project is in its infancy, but it's something to keep an eye on, especially since it's being backed by Activision-Blizzard's infinite gold coffers. Stay tuned folks.
"...we'll be going dark on our studio's next major endeavor – the creation of a brand new universe."

Planetside 2: Musings of an Auraxian Veteran
For those living under rocks, the big news of the past weekend was the unveiling of the first serious batch of info on the sequel to Planetside. As the definitive Massively Multiplayer First Person Shooter, Planetside allowed hundreds of players divided into 3 factions to fight each other for control of entire continents. It had its flaws, but the game was fun, ambitious and addictive. Rather than just summarize the released info, I'm going to evaluate it from the perspective of someone who invested thousands of hours into the original game. Watch the video, then hit jump for more.

Indie Game: The Movie
And here we have the trailer for an indie film about indie developers making indie games. It's so indie!
But in all seriousness, this splendid documentary is currently in development by Blink-Works Media, and is being funded by their Kickstarter page. It contains interviews with a wide variety of indie game developers such as Team Meat of Super Meat Boy, Jonathan Blow of Braid, Phil Fish of the upcoming 2D/3D platformer, Fez and more.
Even with the melodrama, who-can-go-longest-without-trimming-their-beard contests and comparisons to concentration camps, it looks incredibly honest and well made. Not to mention the music is being done by Jim Guthrie. It certainly has my attention. Hit the jump for the 3 minute trailer.

Sanctum Gets 4 Player Coop
It is with much satisfaction that I can say that Sanctum, the previously two player cooperative first person tower defense game, has received an update that expands the multiplayer to four player cooperative.
To all of the negative nancys who said it wouldn't happen, behold the power and value of independent developers who actually pay attention to their audience. And only three months after release! Good on you Coffee Stain Studios!
If you haven't played Sanctum, and enjoy tower defense, first person shooters and have friends that are like minded, make it so. As someone who has logged a few dozen hours of playtime, I can happily suggest it as a fun, addictive, time-sucking romp of a good time. It's the best time I ever spent building towers, upgrading towers, shooting monsters, upgrading towers, falling off the map by accident and upgrading towers. But I mean that in an extraordinarily fun way. Not only that, but it's 33% off right now (10 bucks!) when you pick it up over at the Steam Summer Camp Sale. For the full list of update notes, hit the jump.

Limbo Coming To Steam, PSN Soon
Shan't be long now, my fellow impatient interneters. Limbo, the award-winning 2010 indie game, will be making it's way to PC and PSN soon. Dino Patti, the CEO of Playdead, has confirmed that "Limbo is in production for Steam and PSN, and is coming very soon." So how long? Soon. How soon? Very soon.
Limbo is a "trial-and-death" puzzle platformer that was released exclusively on Xbox Live Arcade in July, 2010. Post-release, it has found itself at the core of many of "Are video games art?" debates and has received generally high praise. Limbo did take flak from critics as being too short a game to justify the price point but the overall consensus is: buy it when it comes out.

Everyone, Chill the Fuck Out about Call of Duty
Posted by Aaron Izakowitz
(So yeah, this one got long. My apologies.)
So Infinity Ward recently announced Call of Duty XP, a convention for fans to gather, compete in a 32-team bracketed tourney, get a chance to play some Modern Warfare 3 early, play paintball on a course modeled after Scrapyard from MW2, and even "a full-scale, playable recreation of The Pit," which I choose to interpret as they are just letting people run around shooting guns because what else could that possibly mean. Oh, and the whole thing is for charity, with 100% of proceeds going to the Call of Duty Endowment, a non-profit that provides support services to returning veterans. Essentially just BlizzCon but for Call of Duty. And charity.
So this is clearly a terrible thing, and the insane, reactionary corners of the internet wasted no time telling everyone so, as they do for any piece of news with the words "Call of Duty" in it, without doing any research or simply stopping to use their brains for a few moments. This is getting to be something of a trend; for another example we need to look only as far back as early June, when Activision announced Call of Duty: Elite. Call of Duty: Elite, for those who don't know, is a new website/social platform that Activision has announced to tie into its Call of Duty games. It will include in-depth stat tracking, heatmaps of multiplayer levels to show where players are dying most often, and other things that could only possibly be of interest to the hardest of hardcore CoD player. It's simply a way for those who take Call of Duty very seriously to be able to dig deeper into their experience Oh, also, there's some stuff in there that costs money, something about clan support maybe, we don't really know yet, but it's definitely not the ability to play the game online or to do anything else that we have previously been able to do for free because they've said that many times.

Ye Gods, is it still going? YES! And there are only sixteen more weeks until the final! Actually, that is not quite true – we are fast approaching a time when Elle, Julien, Grace and Charley will have to take a back seat at elimination and allow us to decide who should be crowned Britain's Next Top Model 2010 at the live final on October 4th.
>rubs hands gleefully<
But for now, it is WE who must take a back seat and allow the judges to do their worst as the final four girls – Charlotte, Tiffany, Joy and Alisha complete the second leg of their Malaysian challenge. This week, Julien sets the task, when he asks the remaining girls to attend three go-sees in Kuala Lumpur. Now, correct us if you like, but we get the distinct impression that "map reading " is not going to be anyone's specialist subject tonight.
There's also an amazing jungle photoshoot which requires an edgy editorial look from each of the girls. The lovely people at LIVING have furnished us with an exclusive group pic from the shoot that's not EVEN on tonight's show! And don't they all look lovely in it?
As per usual, Grazia Daily will have digested tonight's episode by the time you reach your mid-afternoon slump tomorrow, so check back in with us then for a run-down of the bonkers-ness.

January 9, 2013
RICHMOND, Virginia (AP)— Legislators are arriving in Richmond for a legislative session that will feature debates on education, transportation, guns and uranium mining.
But opening day of the 2013 General Assembly started Wednesday with rallies focused on the issue that dominated last year's session — abortion.
Hundreds of anti-abortion activists gathered on Capitol Square to celebrate last year's passage of hotly contested legislation requiring women to get an ultrasound before having an abortion. Among the bills they're backing this session is one that would grant the full legal rights of personhood to a fetus.
Dozens of abortion-rights supporters staged their own demonstration a few yards away, carrying signs with messages like "Keep politicians out of the exam room."
Opening day wraps up Wednesday night with Gov. Bob McDonnell's State of the Commonwealth speech.

text: On February 9, 2001, about 1900 hours Pacific standard time, a Bell 47-G3B1, N3084G, landed hard near Winterhaven, California, following a drive train failure during a night agricultural spraying operation. The helicopter was owned and operated by Sundown Helicopters, Inc., of Yuma, Arizona, and was substantially damaged. The certificated commercial pilot was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the flight, which was operating under 14 CFR Part 137. The flight was originating at the time of the occurrence. The pilot reported that he was applying chemicals to a field of lettuce and had just taken off from his truck platform with 60 gallons of chemicals. He said that he was about 20 feet above ground level and had a forward air speed of approximately 30 miles per hour when he heard a loud screeching sound, followed by a yaw to the left, a rapid decay of rotor rpm, and an increase/overspeed in engine rpm. The helicopter landed hard, collapsing the skids.Post accident examination of the transmission was conducted on February 10, 2001. Examination of the free wheeling unit revealed the outer surface of the inner gear assembly was worn below allowable limits at the roller/gear operating surface. No other discrepancies were noted.

|What an incredible setting! The view from the summit is unrivaled. I was worried it would be too hot to climb, but we had great weather...temps in the 90's. We got an early start and were the only people on the route the entire day. This is hard to believe, since it was a Sunday. There were, however, multiple parties inching their way up the North Chimney. The route was in the shade up until we reached the last pitch.

|Did this route for my second time and found it somewhat enjoyable. I did the second pitch completely different than my first time up it, so I changed the page to hopefully avoid any kind of confussion. The first and last bolts were kind of sketchy. The first bolt (protecting the first crux 3/8") sticks out almost an inch. I tightend up the third (1/4) bolt with my fingers before commiting to the crux (probably not making any difference other than a psychological one). It was a beautiful day, but there were 5 groups in line behind us. People should dare to get on the more obscure routes rather than waste a day waiting to do a moderately enjoyable "classic".

|Climbed this route with my brother Mike in the middle of July. We brought a single quart of water that we finished off before we even got to the base. Sweated up the slimey chimney and finally topped out totally dehydrated. We had a gallon of water waiting for us back at the jeep and the thought of that water is the only thing that got through the descent and hike back. One mouthful of the scorching hot water that had been sitting in the interior of the vehicle all day, and we realized we couldn't drink it. But all was well in the end as we hauled to Moab and quickly found someone to sponser us at the local pub and before I knew it I downed five straight cool ones. We then ate a huge meal and both slept like babies that night. That was our first real desert climb and needless to say we were taught the importance of water out west.

|Shirley and I climbed this on a cold Christmas Day. Parked at 2nd parking lot (by mistake). Lost the approach trail below 1st cliff band but found a straightforward route thru. it. Second cliff band involved ~10 feet of low 5th climbing on good rock. Route itself is fun. P2 was the crux for me due to its sustained nature. P3 is not that bad due to the nice rest stances. Used 1 #4 Big Bro on P3 and was quite happy to have it. #5 Camalot is useless IMHO. #3.5-4 Camalots and #5 Friend very useful for P2. I thought that the summit makes this a NA Classic (not so much the OW moves on the rotue :) - the views are amazing. Could not find summit register. Saw two bivy shelters (and a rock shoe) on the spacious summit plateau. This was another classic climb where we did not encounter a single soul the whole day. Our dog waited this one out in the truck at the TH (overheating was NOT an issue on a day where temps. in the shade never broke above freezing). This was also our last route of 2004 (great way to end it!).

Because St. Andrew's is a day and boarding school, campus life goes on 24/7. Our goal is to provide a home-like environment for all of our students. Many day students arrive early to eat breakfast in the Dining Hall, while others stay for dinner and to study with friends in the the Rooke Library. Day students often join boarders at weekend brunch, on weekend excursions to cultural events in Providence or Boston, or just for an impromptu frisbee game on the Quad. Boarders join local friends at their homes for cookouts and pool parties. Athletic events, plays, and musical concerts are typically scheduled on weekends; art studios are often available for students to use; and often movies are shown in the McCulloch Center for the Arts. The new Fitness Center offers expanded free weights and circuit-training opportunities for students.
More than 60% of St. Andrew's faculty live on campus, allowing students to take advantage of after-school hours to get extra help. Some faculty members host movie parties or cookie-baking events in their homes.
In addition to School activities, the St. Andrew's Parent Association (SAPA) hosts on- and off-campus activities for students and their families. Typical activities have included canoe trips, laser-tag parties, and dances with other independent schools.
There's a lot to do—every day of the week!

Practicing Breast Self-AwarenessEarly detection of breast cancer is the single-most effective way to beat the disease. That is why it is essential for women to conduct their own breast exams to discover any potential anomalies early on.
While doctors stress the importance of self-examination, many women still show up for routine wellness visits admitting they don't do examinations because they simply don't know how. Perhaps because the practice was given the formal name "breast self-exam."

Screenings Crucial in Breast Cancer DetectionBreast cancer screening means checking a woman's breasts for cancer before there are signs or symptoms of the disease. Three main tests are used to screen the breasts for cancer. Talk to your doctor about which tests are right for you, and when you should have them.

Symptoms of Breast Cancer Not Always Easy to DiscoverWith respect to cancer, survival almost always depends on detection. In general, the earlier cancer is detected, the more likely a person is to survive.
Such is the case with breast cancer. When breast cancer is detected in its earliest stage (stage 0), the rate of recovery is 100 percent.

Radiation Exposure a Cancer RiskFew people even consider that standardized health exams may actually be making them sick. But the fact of the matter is, these routine tests, such as CT scans and X-rays, could be contributing to cancer risk.
According to a recent report, Americans receive more medical radiation exposure than any other nation in the world. In recent decades, that exposure has greatly increased.

Behind the Scenes at REMBRANDT®
Total Beauty blogger Nadine Jolie loves beauty products and helping women figure out how to look their best. Having a beautiful, healthy-looking, white smile is a key part of that, but with so many whitening products out there, how do you choose? In her search for answers, she invites viewers to join her on a behind-the-scenes look at how one of the leading whitening and oral care brands was developed. Viv Tyndall, an Oral Care R&D Director for REMBRANDT® with more than 20 years experience in developing whitening products, helps demonstrate what makes REMBRANDT® stand apart from all the other whitening brands on the market.
So let's take a look and learn what really goes on in the REMBRANDT® laboratory.
- REMBRANDT® was created by cosmetic dentist Dr. Robert Ibsen more than 20 years ago, and today the brand remains committed to using the latest, cutting-edge whitening ingredients and technologies to bring you a bright, healthy white smile. REMBRANDT® brought the first whitening toothpaste to the market in 1989, introduced the first whitening rinse in 1998 and created whitening strips in 2004.
- To truly understand the consumer and what they are looking for, REMBRANDT® spends a lot of time interacting with consumers to get to know their individual needs. At the same time, there is a lot of activity to develop new technologies. This includes basic research on teeth, staining, effects of age on tooth appearance and how to improve not just the appearance, but the health of the teeth and mouth. Once technology is identified, the team then moves into the product development phase where the products are actually made, focusing on getting the consistency, flavor, form, fit, texture and comfort just right to deliver that great consumer experience.
- In 2011, REMBRANDT® introduced the REMBRANDT® DEEPLY WHITE® collection to push boundaries and redefine white. To understand how REMBRANDT® DEEPLY WHITE® delivers superior whitening, it's important to understand the basic structure of teeth. Enamel, the outer, translucent surface of teeth, is hard, but porous. Dentin is the deeper layer, where some of the stains from food, drinking, and tobacco can accumulate over time, making your teeth look darker— often brown or yellow, rather than white and bright. Unlike most toothpastes, which only remove surface stains, DEEPLY WHITE® toothpaste was scientifically designed to not only polish away surface stains, but also travel through the tiny pores in the enamel and whiten below the surface.
- As you brush, the peroxide breaks down and releases ions that are so small and chemically active that they travel through the pores in the enamel, reaching into the teeth to fight stains. When the ions reach the stains, they break chemical bonds in the stains, which cause them to become colorless, visibly whitening the teeth. So, how is DEEPLY WHITE® different than any other whitening products you can buy? DEEPLY WHITE® is the first all-in-one fluoride toothpaste to contain Active Dental Peroxide – the same enamel-safe ingredient dentists use to whiten deep stains, not just surface stains.

I just finished reading your breastfeeding post and I didn't think it was judgy at all! People get so sensitive about decisions regarding parenting... and I think that most of us try to do the best with what we know. When you know better you do better, and I bet your post will inspire someone to at least do the research and put some serious thought into this topic. Also love how you said that people cant MAKE YOU feel a certain way. Well said, girl!ReplyDelete
So beyond the obvi reason why we are soul sisters destined for a life of hair braiding and moo moo's....ReplyDelete
I say the same thing ALL THE TIME.
Um the Duck might leave me barefoot and homeless if I tell him one more time" I CANT MAKE YOU FEEL ANYTHING, YOU MAKE YOU FEEL THE WAY YOU FEEL"
hahaha aahhh true love indeed.
I am scared to post this, and I am going to do it as me bc I am not going to hide. But what if you know it all, the research is there, and you just don't want to breastfeed? It's not for physical reasons. I really don't know why. I am not trying to get pregnant now, but I don't feel any connection towards breast feeding. Does that mean I shouldn't be a mom? It seems to me everyone is breast feeding these days and I am scared to say I might (okay not might, I don't.) want to.... Maybe it will change when I actually have a little human inside me... Until then I don't know...ReplyDelete
What a completely loving, lovely, warm and eclektic blog you have. I am moving in!ReplyDelete
- KristinAugust 21, 2011 at 7:13 AM
Sheridan, I have to agree with Carissa. I was touched by your honesty and vulnerability regarding your own decisions, and am surprised how many people missed the heart of your post. Your struggles are the struggles of so many women, and our society should do so much more to support motherhood. It's sad when "Stay-at-home mom" is a title that inspires derision rather than admiration. I ultimately gave up my career, and the extras in life, to take care of my baby, and it's the best decision I ever made.ReplyDelete
My little 6 mth old girl was born in one of the top women's hospitals in the US, and one of the first pics I have is me giving her a bottle of formula. I had a C section due to baby girl being full breech, and was having a hard time getting a latch while laying reclined after surgery. My saving grace was my night nurse, an eastern european woman who stayed with me for over an hour and taught me how to properly latch, and came back repeatedly to see that baby and I were getting the hang of it. I am ever grateful to her, and wish that the medical community as a whole showed such dedication to breast feeding.
The research speaks for itself; there is no substitute for mother's milk. Formula isn't even a close second. We ignore our biology and try to make it fit into social norms, and suffer as a whole for it. Society does need a wake-up call, and that can only be done by bringing the subject to the table. I hope your post inspires more women to do their own research, choose what's best for their child, and speak up for motherhood out in society and in the workplace.
Emily - your comment really touched me. Just because you might not have come around to nursing at this point in your life does not mean you shouldn't be a mother! I don't think you will physically WANT to breastfeed before you have children. I knew it was something I was going to do, but I did not have an actual connection to it or desire until they were born. Then the maternal instinct kicks in and it's as natural as can be. This is jumping the gun, but you might want to set a minimum goal of six weeks, and then reevaluate. At least your baby gets an amazing foundation from your milk - better than nothing.ReplyDelete
Given that you were so honest, the least I can do is be honest in return. My post was aimed at changing people's minds that actively chose not to breastfeed - which is the category you are saying you may potentially fall in. I hope that through all of the words, facts and information I laid out, even if you don't want to, you see that it is without question best for your child....and that you make the decision to do so.
One of my favorite comments was a woman that said breastfeeding is a privilege. It really, really is. Aside from the proven benefits, it is a miracle of life. How fortunate that we as women get to experience that connection with our children.
At the end of the day it all comes down to wanting to do what is best for your child, or actively choosing not to. As mothers, I believe it should not only be our desire but our responsibility to do what is in their best interests, whether we want to or not...but how could you not want to??
I would give my LIFE for my children, let alone my breasts.

I missed your original post, but I went back and read it. I read a couple of comments and stopped after the "bullying" response. Nothing about what you wrote was out of line, bullying, judgemental... It was really important info and I applaud you for taking the time to inform women about something that is sooo important, something that doctors don't inform their patients about.ReplyDelete
I chose to breastfeed and I made the decision before or while I was pregnant. I don't think it's something you can wait and decide after you give birth, only because if complications arise, it's too easy to decide not to. And, also, you have to educate yourself about it and that takes time.
There were complications with the birth of my daughter and after many, many (many) hours of labor, I had a C-section. I nursed anyway.
It was so painful in the beginning. I remember being so sore that when she latched on I cringed. I would have a plugged duct, regularly, on one side and I'd have to get up in the middle of the night to soak in a hot tub.
And then, several months after she was born, I discovered that I had a goiter and that I was severely hypothyroid. The doctor had no clue how I had been able to nurse through it (my milk production should have decreased), but I had, and my daughter was thriving.
I continuted to nurse until she was 18 months old, a shorter amount of time than I'd planned, but that's a whole other story.
So, her birth and the following year were difficult for me, but the best decision I ever made was to breastfeed. I wish I could articulate what an amazing, bonding, loving experience it was. Even with the difficulties, I wouldn't have traded it for the world.
I think doctors need to step up and inform their patients, women need to educate themselves about diet, nutrition and what's best for their children (not easiest - although, I thought it was a lot easier than doing bottles). And, why are women who nurse banished to the restroom to do so, where as women who bottlefeed can do it anywhere. That fact alone is quite telling.
Sorry for the long comment - believe me, I could say more.....
Great post, thank you!
Of course I have to chime in...I'm one of those people. Your post had a big heart behind it and, of course, truth in regards to what is best for babies. I breastfed and loved every second. I don't know where you live but here there is BEYOND major push for breastfeeding so I'm shocked to hear somewhere that has fallen by the wayside.ReplyDelete
Anyway, I think the point of disagreeable commenters was this: the amount of guilt that Mothers feel, and are made to feel (whether self-inflicted or otherwise) about every tiny last detail of their lives once they've given birth, it is very difficult to face yet another choice to feel guilty over. Women cannot win, we can't. Imagine, even a comment about alienating husbands if you choose to breastfeed!! We. can't. win. and the guilt can be beyond overwhelming.
We moved South weeks after having our fifth child . My new pediatrician was shocked ( his words) that I was breast feeding. He said most of his moms are not breastfeeding or only doing for a week or two and then giving up. He made a point to ask me every visit if I was STILL nursing? I have to admit it made me uncomfortable and I switched practices.He was never supportive or encouraging, just oddly intrigued . I got the sense that I was part of some kind of office pool and he was out long ago. I can truly testify to my own family's health, behavior and academic performance; I would not change a thing. Thank you ,Sheridan:)ReplyDelete
You post was not judgmental in the slightest. You are so wise beyond your years and the way in which you speak is so very respectful and kind. I wish more people could bring up "touchy" topics in a manner that is equally kind and respectful.
I truly applaud you for speaking your mind on a topic in which you feel important. You presented facts and were very encouraging. In no way shape or form did I feel you were condemning anyone at all. Not for one little second.
Anyone that has a problem with your post, has a problem with themselves. Smart, mature adults can always find a way to agree to disagree in an intelligent manner. You are so correct when you say, no one can make you feel any way but yourself. For someone that is 26, wow -- you learned that early! Sadly, some people never learn that. It is the only way you will get along in this world.
I nursed my son for 2wks and then formula fed for many reasons. Am I mad at nursing moms? No. Am I mad at FF moms? No. Am I mad at myself? No. He is loved more than anything in this world, he is secure and I will always be there for him. This is what is going to make him a strong human being. Not how he was fed as an infant.
At the end of the day, we all do what we think is best for our child and our situation and instead of hurting others or being judgmental -- as women, we would all serve one another better to be helpful, kind and compassionate.
All of those qualities - you exude. Your children are so very lucky to have a wonderful mother that thinks so hard about the choices she makes and loves them so dearly. I know you would have liked to nurse them for longer - but truthfully, the love you give them and the healthy foods they get now -- they are going to be fabulous little people.
I truly enjoy your blog, your clever and bubbly writing and your fabulous sense of style.
I most enjoy your sense of being grounded. You have opportunity for every material thing in this world, yet, the things you value are the immaterial. This is so refreshing in this world of more, more, more that we live in. When you do touch on material things, you have an artful and wonderful appreciation for them -- something that many people never get as they are just busy collecting things.
I know your husband (he and my ex have worked together) and he is one lucky guy to have such a wonderful wife and mother to your children.
You are truly a kind soul with a passion for life and I hope your joy continues to spread.
Sheridan, after reading your posts, I had to add that I think it's also important for mothers to know that breastfeeding does not have to be an all or nothing thing. Any little bit of BM helps (whether its 6 weeks or 6 mths or whatever!) My baby girl is 7 months now, and we started supplementing with formula from the very beginning. The first few weeks she would get 1 bottle a day just when I was too tired or worn out to breastfeed, and then when I went back to work we would alternate with pumped milk and formula bottles. Now, I'm about 50/50...the morning session is still a joy and I hope to keep that up until a year+ and then she gets 3 formula bottles at school. I think it is very important for new moms to know that formula is there for you when you need it. Breastfeeding is very demanding, and while I love it and am keeping it up for the health of my baby, we all need a break once in a while, and giving a baby a bottle of formula should not be yet another thing that we need to worry about or feel guilty about. With that said, good job on educating people about the topic- it was very interesting to read all the different views on the subject.ReplyDelete

I adored your comment that no one an MAKE you feel something- only you can do that. No truer words have been written:) So glad you are standing by your words! I agree- there are plenty of circumstances when nursing may not work. But- I also believe those circumstances are in the minority. MOST women can breast feed. It may take work, meetings with latch consultants, diet changes, herbal supplements, etc... but they are totally capable of nursing.... many just aren't willing to put forth the effort. I'm sure I will upset some who read this- but I do feel it is extremely selfish not to nurse to preserve your figure, or because you don't want to. When you become a mom your most important job (only job!) is to ensure the well being of your child. Even if it is hard. Even if you feel drained. Even if it is sore. Even if you want to sleep. Moms do what it takes. Breasts aren't there to fill out bikini tops... they are there for ONE reason- to feed and nourish our babies.ReplyDelete
Would REALLY love to see a post on avoiding ppd. That has bitten me with both of my deliveries. It has been tough. Thank you.ReplyDelete
The Importance of Breastfeeding post was by far my favorite post! You definitely changed my views on birth plan/diet/breastfeeding. Awesome job! THANK YOU!!!ReplyDelete
- Brooke LloydAugust 23, 2011 at 6:20 AM
I nursed my daughter, however I have friends who founds themselves absolutely miserable weeks and weeks and weeks in with nursing. Sometimes you can't explain why something does not work for you, and there's no rationalizing it, no matter how many statistics you have. While breastfeeding is of course the best nutrition and should certainly be advised to every mother, I think a happy formula feeding mommy does a lot more for a child and a nursing miserable one. Not trying to be fiesty, I realize your intention with your post and it's a pure one, I just can't help but empathize with my friends who couldn't do it, and not because they are selfish. There is a vast middle ground between judgemental and mute.ReplyDelete
I don't have a blog so I'm not sure how else to sign this than with my name, trying not to be "anonymous" but not sure how to avoid it.
I totally agree with you about breastfeeding. My son is 22 months and I'm still nursing him. I wanted to give him two solid years. Right now he has the sniffles for the first time since birth. One thing we don't agree on is your love for Lard as I eat a vegan diet but it's your choice and I don't judge. We all have our own life's journey. Go Fort Worth!ReplyDelete

Hi Sheridan,ReplyDelete
Coming back to an old post here, but I have some questions for you on formula:
-on paleo, you are not supposed to have dairy in your diet because lactose affects our digestive system right? But human milk contains loctose as does raw milk, so if you want to raise a paleo baby how does this work?
- I also wanted to ask about any dangers of raw milk. They say it is better, but is it safe? What about pasteurization?
- If it is impossible to find raw milk in your region, what other healthy alternatives are there to feeding your baby commercial formula milk?
A lot of questions i know, but I'm really keen to hear your opinions and I really hope that you do a step-by-step guide on your homemade baby formula soon as id like to know what methods you use.
thank you
Hey Sherry!ReplyDelete
A lot of that will be answered in detail in a post I will do soon (hopefully ;) about the milk based formula. Human milk is made specifically for our infants - it has different properties than cow milk, goat milk, etc. that can negatively affect our systems. Breast milk is as Paleo as you can get when it comes to feeding kiddos! Also, when we are intolerant to cow milk - 90% of humans are - those people that have lactose intolerances are NOT intolerant to raw milk, only pasteurized. Raw milk and pasteurized milk are two TOTALLY different foods; pasteurization so dramatically changes the food and essentially kills it - it is not live, it is a totally dead food.
Research the raw milk argument about safe vs. not. Any raw milk must be purchased from a certified farm that tests their cattle. I would never drink raw milk from a feed lot cow, for example, as they are teaming with disease and, hence, why their milk absolutely must be pasteurized. More people get sick from pasteurized milk than raw milk! There is raw milk in EVERY region of our country as well so no need to worry about not finding it! Check out realmilk.com for farms near you. If for some reason you cannot get to a farm, unfortunately I do not think there is a good, nutritious viable alternative. Baby formula is sugar with some vitamins added in - not so hot.

Going Down in Flames
Now, me, I was downstairs with the TV turned on to Turner Classic Movies. I had gotten up real early and had channel-hopped until I'd come across an old Perry Mason movie I felt pretty certain would put me back to sleep. It did, and I slept well and deep until the phone rang and my brother Jimmy's voice cried out, saying, "There's a pie factory on fire in New Orleans. Are you all right?"
My first, immediate thought was that he might have been having a vision of something about to befall me, and it had come to him in the form of a pie factory burning down. Our sainted Sicilian mother used to have visions and premonitions. Hers were never outright clear either. They spoke to her in metaphors and symbols, and she had to learn to interpret them—or wait for something catastrophic to happen before she could tell what her vision had meant to begin with.
But Jimmy had long before left the one true church our mother had raised us in to become a Baptist like his bride; and Baptists don't have visions. They just get saved at some point in their lives and go about their business for the rest of the duration, leaving all the mumbo-jumbo stuff to the gypsies and the Catholics.
It turned out, though, Jimmy hadn't had a vision. What he'd had had been a news report he'd seen on This Morning in Acadiana that described a fire at the Hubig's Pie building over on Dauphine Street in the Faubourg-Marigny.
And it also turned out he hadn't thought I might have been inside a pie factory in the dark, early hours before dawn, but that the pie factory might have been in my neighborhood and caught me on fire in the process of undergoing its own flammary obliteration.
You have to understand, we come from a real small town in the country where a fire in north Crowley might easily consume parts of east Crowley and south, because they're all just about in the same place to begin with. So his fear was conceived in the knowledge of his own personal geography.
And I was touched by his concern.
I explained to him that I was fine, our house was fine, the air conditioning was running, and we still had water. I was grateful he had thought to call me, but that everything would work out for the best. I explained to him that Hubig's Pies would just rebuild, bounce back, and light their ovens up once again.
That's what we do in New Orleans. If Katrina couldn't break us, a fire sure won't stand in our way for long. We might be damp and moldy; but we are a race of web-footed phoenix birds down here, inevitably drooping but invariably reborning.
Why, in the last few years alone, we've risen above the waves of the great Federal flood of Twenty-Aught-Five. The Verti-Marte might have burned to the ground, but Chel and Sam re-built. Rocky and Carlo's did the same. There's no earthly reason to assume Simon-the-Pie-Man won't rise up again, as well.
You see, Hubig's Pies are important to New Orleans. They matter. And if you have to ask why, you'll never be a New Orleanian. Mark my words, Hubig's crust will rise again! Until that day, I just might manage to lose a few pounds.
Ya gotta look on the bright side.

I hope you're right. My mom used to pack a Hubig's in my lunch at least once a week. I still can't eat the lemon ones without remembering my awesome Planet of the Apes lunch box. Oh, and my mom.ReplyDelete
Moms, yeah — where would we be without 'em? As for Hubig's, they'll come back. They have to come back. We'll make them come back. We'll ... we'll sign petitions if we have to!ReplyDelete

You want expertise, your overlooking the easiest piece of gear to get with expertise on it, pick up your T9 legs, http://www.wowhead.com/?item=48373 have 72 expertise on them, and their T10 version also has expertise on them.
1. Use the Grinning Skull Boots, their 2 tiers worth of item level higher than the plated greaves, providing more strength, and more crit, with roughly the same amount of armor pen.
2. As mentioned above neither, pick up your T9 legs from the vendor
Also never gem pure Crit, if you want to socket your helmet use 10strength 10crit, but never use a 20 crit gem its just not worth it.
Another note, once you get your NEC regem every single yellow socket that you have to 10strength 10crit.
If you get the chance also you should go pug Onyxia, and roll on her head, the Sparkling Onyxia Tooth Pendant is a very nice necklace to use.
You will also want to make Berserking the enchant on both of your weapons (main hand, and off-hand)
Here is a Before(current setup), and After(changes i suggested) pictures from Landsoul's Spreadsheet.
This still leaves you needing some expertise, but its a start, As for the Custom Item in the first pic, i had to do that because your boar trinket is not in the spreadsheet. Basically changing 4 items, and regemming you gain almost 1200 dps in a raid situation.

A Hamilton County jury has found Malcolm Witherow guilty of premeditated first-degree murder in the 2008 slaying of Melissa Hoover.
Prosecutors Brian Finlay and Neal Pinkston alleged that on Oct. 10, 2008 Witherow, 49, shot and killed Hoover, 31, on Short Tail Springs road following an argument outside a mutual friend's home.
Witnesses testified in the first two days of the trial that Witherow repeatedly threatened to retaliate against Hoover for cooperating with police in a 2005 drug investigation against him.

Study: African American Men Get Prostate Cancer Treatment 7 Days Later Than White Men
- Written by The Atlanta Daily World
- Published in Atlanta
- Post 12 April 2013
- By Atlanta Daily World
- Hits: 854
When African American men are diagnosed with prostate cancer the average delay between their diagnosis and treatment is a week longer than in Caucasian men as determined by a new study that was published online in "Cancer," the journal of the American Cancer Society.
The first of its kind, the study conducted was a population-based examination of racial differences in prostate cancer treatment delay.
Previously, several studies conducted showed that African American men are 2.4 times more likely to die from the disease.
The treatment of 2,506 African Americans and 21,454 Caucasian patients with a diagnosis of early prostate cancer from 2004-2007 was evaluated using data from Medicare patients to determine that on average African Americans experienced a seven-day longer delay in treatment once diagnosed.
"These are all patients with some form of insurance, i.e., Medicare, so it is not a lack of insurance that delays the care," said Ronald Chen, MD, MPH, Assistant Professor with the University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center in Chapel Hill.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among all men, regardless of race.
Statistically, there are more than 240,000 diagnoses per year and more than 28,000 annually.
"Other studies have shown that African American men are less likely to get screened, they get diagnosed with more advanced cancers, and they are less likely to get aggressive treatment when they are diagnosed. Now we have shown that African American patients also wait longer for treatment. I think all of these disparities together add up to contribute to worse long-term survival outcomes for African American patients," said Chen.
Although the study showed that treatment delay was more distinct in the number of patients who were diagnosed with aggressive, high-risk, prostate cancer, African American patients still experienced a 9-day longer delay than Caucasians.

2. A bowl of salty chips splashed with vinegar and a glass of red wine.
