The years 2040 - 2045: After the cataclysmic Yellowstone eruption, there is massive economic dislocation as populations flee Datum Earth to myriad Long Earth worlds. Sally, Joshua, and Lobsang are all involved in this perilous work when, out of the blue, Sally is contacted by her long-vanished father and inventor of the original Stepper device, Willis Linsay. He tells her he is planning a fantastic voyage across the Long Mars and wants her to accompany him. But Sally soon learns that Willis has ulterior motives....
Meanwhile U.S. Navy Commander Maggie Kauffman has embarked on an incredible journey of her own, leading an expedition to the outer limits of the far Long Earth. For Joshua, the crisis he faces is much closer to home. He becomes embroiled in the plight of the Next: the super-bright post-humans who are beginning to emerge from their 'long childhood' in the community called Happy Landings, located deep in the Long Earth. Ignorance and fear are causing 'normal' human society to turn against the Next - and a dramatic showdown seems inevitable....

"Nothing new really."
Not going to write much, but for me the story seems to have lost direction now and is becoming a bit repetitive and if I am honest it is getting a bit boring, the whole thing is starting to seem a bit pointless and endless, there are just too many avenues to go down.
"More Baxter than Pratchett?"
No, it jumped around all over the place and had no narrative drive.
This series yes: the characters have lost their sense of identity and drive and now see to wander aimlessly from scene to scene.
He's great - accents, complex dialogue, emotion, all there and brilliantly executed.
No, too long.
For me this is the last episode of the Long Earth series. A stunning start, but the momentum has gone and I'm not sure we care about any of the characters enough to pick up the next volume
"very simple, so much story"
In part what i like the most is how these books have developed over the series. Each one develops the plot and introduces new and fascinating aspects.
I have no idea why, it is not the best or most important scene, but Lobsang servicing Agnese's motor bike. It says so much about the character.
He is not the best i have heard, but there is something about his voice that really does suit these books, and there is something just right about his interpretation of Lobsang.
Not one go, you do have to allow yourself to take all of this in. There is as i said, a lot of story.
"Great SiFi *****"
This is not Discworld, this is great SiFi of the kind from the golden age. Sir Terry is amazing as he can write in so many styles and working with Stephen Baxter has produced a great book. This is the third book in the series and I would advise you start with Long Earth followed by Long War. This is an audible book I will read time and time again.
The narrator is brilliant and I will look for other books he has recorded.

Outsourcing is an important strategy in the pharmaceutical industry to meet the growing number of challenges. Because the
outsourcing relationship is long-term, it influences future lifecycles of a drug and requires investments of time and money.
It is a fundamental decision that must be made in the early phases of a drug's development, when there is time to find the
right partner and develop a strong relationship. A good contract manufacturer provides the necessary support throughout all
stages of a drug's development. It gives the pharmaceutical company the time and resources to focus on its core business—researching
and developing lifesaving drugs and marketing them.

Energy savings has actually come to CES, of all places, as companies strive to be green and eco-friendly. Several of the large TV manufacturers have energy meters on their TVs to show how much they have reduced power consumption in recent models.
LG started the trend at the CEDIA (Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association) show in September.
At CES Mitsubishi had a meter on its 65-inch LaserVue TV, which uses a laser instead of a power-sucking lamp to illuminate a DLP displays. Next to it the company showed a high-end plasma model from a competitor.
The score? LaserVue - 98 watts, giant plasma - 500 watts. Low score wins.

Emerging Leaders
The Emerging Leaders Program is designed to take up-and-coming credit union professionals to the next level and prepare them for leadership roles within the credit union movement. Participants of the program will gain valuable background information about credit unions, credit union organizations and resources, and basic credit union financial knowledge. We will hear from exciting industry experts who will present on topics such as business and professional skills and how to think outside the box. In addition, there will a whole day dedicated to Governmental Affairs with a trip to the state capital.
The conclusion of the program will occur at the League's Annual Meeting & Convention where participants will make a short presentation and are recognized for completing the program.
Who should participate?
This 4-phase program provides leadership development opportunities to emerging credit union professionals who have shown initiative within the credit union industry.
Day 1
Location: League Office, Louisville, KY
Participants will focus on the history of credit unions. A Kentucky credit union CEO will speak about the history of credit unions and how it has shaped credit unions today. A credit union board member will also speak to the group about the philosophy of credit unions.
The second half of the day will consist of introductions to different credit union resources: CUNA, NCUA, and CMG. Representatives from the different organizations have been invited to present to the group.
Participants will also be introduced to the KY Credit Union League staff and learn more about the League's role in the credit union movement.
Day 2
Location: League Office, Louisville, KY
The first half of the day will be a lesson in Credit Union Financial Basics. This presentation will cover:
· Capital
· Rate Changes
· Financial Statement Basics
· Camel Rating and more
The second half of the day will focus on developing essential business skills.
Day 3
Location: League Office, Louisville, KY
The third meeting will focus on team building. The group will participate in an in-depth team building activity and the rest of the day will be devoted to working on group projects for the Annual Meeting.
Day 4
Location: State Capitol Building, Frankfort, KY
During a trip to Frankfort, participants will focus on the importance of political advocacy and grassroots activities. Debbie Painter, EVP/Public Relations & Governmental Affairs, will explain three simple advocacy tools, discuss how to build a strong political/grassroots culture, and review how legislation moves in the Kentucky General Assembly.
Participants may have the opportunity to attend an Interim House & Senate Banking and Insurance Committee meeting. In addition, participants will be taken to Frankfort for a tour of the Capitol Building.
Group Project
Program participants will be divided into groups in which they will complete a community-based service learning project. Community service is action within a community involving people coming together to work on a common good. Combining the definition with learning is what community-based service learning is all about – activities that meet genuine community needs and require the application of knowledge, skill, and reflection time. Participants will be engaged with assessing community needs, and reflecting before, during, and after the service experience.
The project will be presented by each group as a breakout session at the League's Annual Meeting and Convention.
Note: The program allows some time on meeting dates for groups to discuss project plans. However, additional hours outside of scheduled work hours may be required.

Using 9397 and 9395 I have built a truck and trailer for carrying the technic digger. The truck is now a V8. To access the engine you tilt the bullbar down then tilt the engine cover. The fifth wheel pivots and rotates like a real truck. The log grab is converted into a Hiab type crane with a winch drum on it. The trailer wheels are a bogie system that allows all wheels to stay on the ground with undulating terrain.

text: Greetings Pug! I'm sorry that I am just now responding to your inquiry about our guild. I have lost your original posting so I am going to give you an off-the-cuff overview and you can feel free to pick my brain about the rest. I will be happy to share any info we have that you think will help you out. The Kingdom Brewer's Guild of Caid started humbly about ten years ago with a group of brewer's getting together to share knowledge among themselves and with the kingdom's populace about brewing. To this day, we have had a rather casual attitude about brewing "in period". Period brewing is appreciated but is by no means required. The emphasis instead has been on quality and diversity(i.e. becoming involved in brewing different kinds of beverages instead of just beer or wine, etc.). We have developed a ranking system within the Guild and we are trying to construct standards for the training of judges. Our standards for judging our brewing efforts are based on the American Homebrewers Association judging forms which we have adapted to a 100-point score and for use with brews other than beer. Even though the Guild has been around for ten years, it is still evolving and improving. We are organized into several "branches". Each branch is made up of brewers in a particular region of the kingdom. We only have branches in areas where brewers want to be organized under the auspices of the Guild. In other words, we don't have a branch in every location within the kingdom-only in places where the brewers want to organize them. In fact, we just had a new branch organize itself and request to be added to the Guild. Currently, we have four branches (not including the new one) and forty members. We hold council meetings bimonthly at different branch locations. At these meetings, we conduct the business of the Guild and hold tastings where individual efforts are judged and/or showcased. Recently, we were recognized by our Kingdom and accorded the honor of becoming "Right Noble". We are all pretty happy about that! We try to provide judges for major events that have brewing contests and we make ourselves available to teach at the collegiums. Also, we try to promote responsible attitudes and behavior towards drinking within the context of the SCA. Our kingdom has had some trouble in the past with being banned from certain sites for violations of rules concerning alcoholic consumption. We, as the Brewer's Guild, are trying to educate our populace and help to maintain good relations with site owners. Well, I think I'll let you digest that. Like I said, feel free to ask any questions or request any information that might help out. Cheers, Eoghan -- Richard "Pug" Bainter | GlobeSet, Inc. System & Network Admin. Manager | 1250 S.

A couple of evenings ago my phone danced around on the kitchen table, alerting me of a new text. "I've some got butternut squash from my parent's garden for ya. Can I drop by real quick?" Sa-weeeeet. We hadn't grown any butternut squash in our garden this year (or ever), so when Carly brought the […]
Wild Flower Pickin'
The girls are coming over in a bit for some mojitos. We're going to give my new mortar and pestle a proper christening. For the event, I thought a little bit of backyard wild flower pickin' was in order. I'm even going to WASH MY HAIR.
Garden Tomato Pizza
I know I just posted about pizza not too long ago, but who can really help it? It's summer, and that obviously means that your face needs the pizza. Especially when every few seconds a nurse brings in a basket of baby tomatoes newly birthed from the garden. * we don't have a nurse in […]
Sneak Peek
Surprise, surprise – we're eating tomatoes for dinner! But what are we doing with them?
World, Meet Summer, at 6 oz and 5 inches Long
Look at that thing. What IS that? Do you even know? I heard these rather disturbing groans and moaning noises coming from the garden, so I walked out and found it giving birth to this HA-UGE orange tomato. They named it summer. Isn't that sweet? Seriously, the garden is going to have to take it […]
Hey summer, this whole heat thing you have going on right now ain't cool with me, but since our garden beds supply free flowers for every single room in the house, you're forgiven. Now, about some rain….
You guys, Dr. Seuss has pepper elves living in our garden!
I've Got a Seedy Husband
This afternoon while picking up the house in preparation for overnight guests, I noticed Aaron sitting at the table, meticulously leaning over little see-through envelopes, digging around in our small indoor compost bin. "Weirdo," I thought, and kept on cleaning. A few minutes later he summons me to the living room to show me his […]

"Wonderful service"
I booked a Club Room as I was travelling alone on a stopover from London to Melbourne. I could not fault anything, the service was outstanding, the staff friendly, I would recommend to anyone to spend an extra few dollars to gain access to the lounge. In service comforts for all rooms included nespresso machine and minbar .I would certainly stay here again.
"Excellent hotel! Great experience!"
This is a home away from home! This hotel is excellent! This is my 7th night and having an excellent time here in this hotel. The staff were so nice and friendly. The place is located in the heart of the city itself and very accessible to everything you might need from transportation to shopping or even just a stroll around the city to see all sorts of things. The pool, the gym and sauna are just addition to the so many thing you can do here at the Royal Plaza on Scotts.
The restaurant that's adjacent to the lobby was superb and the buffet was to die for. The array of food selection was amazing and should not be miss if you stay here in this hotel.
I would definitely recommend this hotel.
"Great hotel, great location"
From the minute i was greeted as I got out of my taxi I knew that I was going to enjoy my stay. The very friendly front desk receptionist upgraded me to a lovely suite and informed me that my friends who had arrived the night before were in the restaurant and were expecting me. The seafood buffet was marvellous and is highly recommended. The staff were friendly and efficient. Lived the Nespresso coffee machine in my suite. L'Occitane toiletries were lovely. At checkout we ordered from the concierge a larger taxi as we had a lot of luggage. Last but certainly not least the hotel is right on corner of Orchard and Scotts Roads - right in the thick of all the shopping

"The Way a Hotel Should Be Run"
These people know the meaning of service. Friendly check-in, upgraded to premier floor because our room wasn't ready yet. Had us take a table in the Carousel and bought us a coffee and tea. The Carousel is also your breakfast room and is a buffet to match the best. The variety of choices is amazing. The hotel is in the Orchard District which is where a lot of the dinning and shopping is located. We used the Hop on Hop off bus to tour and as transportation. Singapore is a wonderful place to visit. (our third trip) So clean and orderly and all those beautiful trees and plants. A must visit.....and if you go I recommend this hotel highly.
"A showcase of how every hotel should be"
Booked directly with the hotel, & was pleasantly upgraded to Premier room on high floor, without even asking. Check in was smooth, friendly and well explained re: free wifi, wifi password, breakfast location, swimming pool/gym location, etc. Luggage were brought into the room promptly and the bell boy explained how to use the free Nespresso machine, complimentary drinks (including free Tiger beer) in fridge, hairdryer placed in drawer, etc. Great intro and welcome indeed, saves me a great amount of time to call the reception for answers when all my possible questions are already well anticipated! That may sound simple enough but believe me, many well-established 5-star hotels don't even do it well even if it is such a simple protocol.
Hotel is right smack in the heart of Orchard Road, located directly opposite Grand Hyatt and walking distance to Ion Orchard and Orchard MRT station. I walked to Marche restaurant in 303 Somerset (about 20 minutes walk) for a fairly interesting dinner. I could have taken the MRT train to Somerset but I prefer to feel the buzz of Orchard Road while walking.
The breakfast is not some cheap processed food served on buffet, but mostly freshly cooked quality food with plenty of variety...certainly one of the best I've ever tried. The restaurant staff numbers are adequate, a mix of experienced and young staffs, cutleries are cleared fast and milk/coffee replenished all without even asking...considering Singapore is not well known for excellent service, I must say this is almost unprecedented. The restaurant has been voted the best restaurant for many years, & it is easy to understand why.
Although the hotel is not the newest kid on the block, you can see that the hotel has undergone major refurbishment and it looks pretty new. Bed is huge, soft & comfortable. Aircon is always kept on even while away to keep the room cool. The pool though small is quite nice. The gym is using Technogym equipment.
Just on price and location you're getting, it is already of great value. But what makes this special is how everything is efficiently run plus the complimentary add-ons & great service. It is how every hotel should be. Fairly under-rated hotel & should be ranked higher than what TripAdvisor suggests.
"Excellent hotel with great service"
We have stayed at The royal Plaza twice now. Our last trip was with our then seven month old baby.
The hotel staff could not have been more accommodating. As requested, a cot was ready in our room when we arrived.
The breakfasts are exceptional with a full range of Western and Asian cuisine. The staff were so helpful finding a well placed table to accommodate our stroller and brought a bowl of hot water each morning for us to warm the baby food.
We stayed on the tenth floor and wish we could remember the name of the house keeping lady there. She was so friendly and helpful, cleaning our room when we were out so as not to disturb our baby's day sleeps.
The hotel is situated at the top end of Orchard Road, a short walk to the MTR and the shopping district.
After our stay we realised we had left two baby books in our room. We contacted the hotel via email. The service was exceptional. The books were retrieved and stored until a friend of ours could pick them up. I'm sure they would have posted them to us had we needed them to.
We have recommended this hotel to our family and friends. Already my mother in law and Grand mother in law have enjoyed a stay here, even though she lives not far from the hotel herself!!!
We hope to visit Singapore again at the end of September and will be sure to book this hotel.
"Two thumbs up for RP on Scotts!"
What a great hotel and I do mean it sincerely. Great in super friendly staff and great for its location. The buffet called Carousel is amazing and this place blows any buffet that I have been to out of waters. The vast number of choices drives you mad specially for its sea food buffet, WOW. Choices are endless. The hotel is a tad traditional with a touch of modernity. A pleasant music plays in the lobby which greets the guests to this enchanted land. The only negative remark that I have is the lack of a bar or a night club. The hotel was apparently purchased by Sultan of Brunei and that might be a personal choice that he has made but you can get any alcoholic drinks in the restaurant or your room I can imagine. I found Tiger beer in our mini bar and BTW, mini bar is free! Only soft drinks, beer and a few snacks. The pool area could use a little touch up but by all means it's great. The Royal Club on the 15th floor is a great way to treat yourself to a late afternoon snack plus some spirits to go along with it. It's not free and it can be added to your room for a minimal fee but you may have it as a part of your room reservation or the room type so please check with your hotel lobby staff. Overall experience is 100% positive and I will come back to RP once again if destiny takes me there once more.
"Good hotel, good location"
Stayed here for 2 nights and enjoyed it. The hotel is very popular and busy so if you like quiet places it may not be for you. It is in a great location just off Orchard Road and near to the subway station so very easy to get about the city. The lobby is very nice and quite impressive when you first walk in although there are some building works going on outside at the moment. Our room was nice although a bit dark as only looked out on to a brick wall. There was a good coffee machine and also a kettle for tea as well as a mini bar with soft drinks which was complementary. Breakfast was very good with lots of choice. It was very busy but the staff coped very well with it.
Enjoyed our stay and was good for the price, however, I have stayed in lots of hotels in Singapore and probably prefer somewhere a bit quieter.
"Great location and comfy rooms"
The check-in and check-out were fast and pleasant. The room was comfy and quiet. Plus, the mini bar is free (nespresso, milo & juices). Lastly, its location at one end of the Orchard Road is excellent for shopping, and it is close proximity to MRT station.
"Fantastic hotel"
I staying at Royal Plaza on Scott's for a week for work.
I can't fault anything. Reception and all staff I encountered were welcoming and polite. Check in and out were quick and painless. A late checkout was requested and provided as I had a late flight.
Buffet restaurant was good for both daily breakfast and the one time I enjoyed dinner there. Plenty of choice and all delicious.
The rooms are well appointed, with minibar and Nespresso replenished daily (complimentary). Wireless and wired inter connection in the room was fast and the connection easy. Up to four devices worked fine with 20+Mbps up and down and very low ping time.
I didn't try the pool but the small gym is clean and has modern equipment. Only two treadmills though so you may have to wait.
Well earned five stars.
"Very Classy Hotel"
Amenities, location and service are all superb at this hotel. Rooms are spacious, thoughtfully designed and well appointed. Staff leaps at the opportunity to assist you in any way. We travel widely and rank this hotel among the best we have enjoyed.
"Love it here!"
Even though the hotel is undergoing renovation at the entrance, it did not actually hamper our holiday. We stayed there twice as we stayed only one night the first time and 5 more nights after we returned from Johor.
Love the free minibar, love the comfortable bed & pillows, plus i love the rain shower head
TV programs should include child friendly programs so that children will not be bored in the room.
The lobby had tealights which invited children to blow on them, however this was a problem for one of the concierges who reprimanded my 22 mth old. Its not like you can tell a toddler what not to do... =/
Other that that, love the experience...the welcoming and departing concierges were excellent *thumbs up*
"Great Location. Comfortable stay. Free Minibar was refreshing"
Great Location right in the heart of the shopping area of Orchard Road. Very comfortable stay. Free Minibar was refreshing and the checkin and checkout process was a breeze. I was really happy to get my room upgraded and also with the option of checking in early at 8am and checking out late at 9pm without the additional day charge.
I arrived ten O'clock at night and found I had clicked on the wrong month when doing my online booking, so I didn't have a booking. I could see even at that time that the hotel was reasonably full. The reception staff were great, they didn't have the class of room I booked available so they upgraded me free of charge, thank you to RP for that. I stayed 3 nights then went to Cambodia for three nights, came back and had three more nights with RP. Both stays were great, I was looked after extremely well, the service was fast, attentive and yet managed to be unobtrusive, a great combination. The rooms were clean, well maintained with good a/c and a comfortable bed. The bathroom was not the biggest I have ever seen but the shower cubicle was a decent size and hot water seemed to be available all the time.
Highly recommended.
For a one night stay to decompress from jet lag between travels it's been a perfect stay. As others say well located for orchard road experience. Room was well designed and other than pillows on steroids very comfortable. There are some nice little touches by way of amenities. The lobby is not its strongest suit -a little on the worn side and not much attention to seating. Pool was lovely but did not use. Staff very friendly and efficient.
"Affordable luxury"
I loved staying at this hotel for so many reasons. 1) It is perfectly located near Orchard Road which makes everything, from shopping to dining, convenient. 2) The breakfast buffet was crazily good and the choices were aplenty, and yes, it's halal too 3) Room ambience was cosy, I just loved being in its comfy bed and watched tv all day 4) complimentary drinks available, in addition to the bottled mineral water. 4) coffeeholics like me would appreciate the coffee machine. 5) staff were attentive and friendly especially the ones at the hotel's doorstep who helped us with getting a cab. He was ever so friendly.
So, I had a lovely, warm and memorable experience during my stay here and would definitely recommend to others. Would definitely come back. Good job Royal Plaza!
"Ideal location at great hotel!"
The up-grade was an un-expected surprise to a Premier room with added bonus thrown in. I would certainly return when we go back to Singapore! Great value and friendly and helpful staff. The 4 nights in our Premier room on a high floor gave us full use of cocktails and nibbles each evening at no extra charge! Would recommend....
"Wonderful stay"
Everything was super i staied at the hotel for 4 days last March!!! everything was perfect!!! nice room with Free wifi !!! nice breakfast !!! the night buffet was the best!!! i would like to stay again in the future...
"6 days in Singapore"
Outstanding hotel experience, staff are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The rooms were very clean, the bed very comfortable and the shower was the best hotel shower I have ever used. Close to the MRT (train) that will take you anywhere you want to go(fabulous and easy to negotiate{get a visitors pass}), many shops close by. The buffet breakfast was the best I have ever had. The buffet dinner is not cheap but delicious and worth every cent. The outlook from the window in the room is not so great but it is off the main road so the rooms are quiet so it is worth it.

can't do it anymore
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 12-16-2008 - 11:41am
So, I am almost at eight months, but I am at my wits end. I cannot do it anymore. DS is eating lots of solids, and I do not like giving him formula, but this pumping is really affecting me negatively. I feel like a cranky b***h all of the time, I can't nap when my DS naps and he's up 3 times a night to eat /play, and I am just exhausted. I never used to get sick, and I've had a stomach virus and two colds, and each time my supply sucks. I am like at 12 oz a day, with dom. Some days, I felt like "I can do this" and others I just want to throw in the towel. I am still depressed my LO won't BF, I don't talk about it much, but we have been trying still this whole time. He sleeps with us, and I let him have my boob as much as he wants all night, and all morning before I go to work, and he has it for naps on the 4 days I don't work, and he still hasn't gotten it.
So, last night as I was about to pump before bed, DH was like "again?" and I was just like forget it. I was so freaking exhausted, I was just done, so I went to bed w/ out pumping, and my boobs killed me this morning! I have really mixed emotions. 1/2 of me is done, 1/2 isn't so I am just going to pump a little when it really is bothering me untill I am done. Maybe I'll pump once or twice a day untill I don't want to do that anymore. I think if I go cold turkey I'll regeret it. I've pumped allready twice today, so I may chnage my mind, I don't know. I just needed to get this out. Thanks for listening!
|Tue, 12-16-2008 - 4:24pm
Hugs to you!!! I hope that you can come to a decision that works for you. It's too bad your DH is not more supportive. I think that women are biologically programmed (e.g. through hormones) to do the very best for their babies, even if it means doing something as crazy as EPing. So you are really not EPing to drive him crazy, but to fulfill some kind of biological obligation that you feel to provide for your LO. Men just don't have the same kind of feelings that we have. You really only get one chance to do something like this for your baby. As long as we are still BFing/EPing, we are still connected to our LOs.
Personally, I don't think that formula is the worst thing that you can give your baby. I had to supplement for the first two months until my supply increased. As an infant I was BFed for only 4 months and then FFed. If your baby can not tolerate formula, then you have a different problem. If you are worried about melamine and other chemicals in formula, I wouldn't worry too much. Unfortunately our BM also contains trace amounts of synthetic chemicals. Plus, these chemicals are also found in our water supplies, building materials, and air. It's a modern industrialized world! To be on the same side, you can use organic formula, which is probably better anyway. Also, you can add probiotics to the formula.
You are so lucky that Elvis is a good eater. I hope my next baby is a good eater! He really sounds like he is thriving! Even though I am a strong supporter of BFing, I think that you can also positively influence your child's eating habits by feeding him healthy food at an early age. Just think, Elvis will probably be more likely to enjoy healthy food since that is what was offered to him at an early age (of course, kids and teens tend to regress on their healthy eating habits, but I think that they eventually come back to what they grew up with).
EPing has also taken a toll on my health. I am terribly out of shape. My diet is not so great. Plus, I have been sick several times since DD was born. Last night I was watching DH and DD sleep as I pumped and I longed to be in bed with them! I think my sleep has suffered as well.
I hope that you can come up with a solution that makes you happy. Try not to let other people talk you into something that you are going to regret. Maybe talk to DH and let him know what you are doing. For example, tell him that you plan to pump X times a day for the next X months and that you EXPECT that he will be supportive of you because he loves you and he wants what is best for Elvis. Don't stop just because you have a low supply. From what I have read about BM, I believe that even small amounts are beneficial. For example, most BFing toddlers only nurse a couple of times a day and yet extended BFing has proved beneficial. So, hang in there and do what is best for you!

You know, you could always drop a pump and see if that is the compromise that might keep you going. Each time I dropped one, I usually made it at least another month or so. That might just get you all the way to your goal. Good luck whatever you decide. Believe me, I flip-flopped over the decision until the very end and then I had just had it!
Think it over for a day or two, and in the end do what is right for YOU (not DH, coworkers, etc...) We will support you no matter what!
|Tue, 12-16-2008 - 10:25pm
thanks everyone for the support. Of course, just when I was about to quit,Today pumping went allright, I got 15 oz.! I was able to power pump for an hour in a car ride, so that helped. You are right about the hormonal thing, that makes sense. he says if it were him doing this, Elvis would have been on formula a long time ago! LOL!
I just feellike if he was BFing everything would be so much simpler! I want to give him as much BM as I can, I am tired of pumping running my life! But then I feel like I can't quit! Thanks for the support, I really needed it, I am feeling much better now. It is so true that EPing/BFing makes us feel connected, when he's drinking my milk I feel so great. When I am giving him his formula supplements, I feel like i am failing, as absurd as it sounds. This would be a whole lot easier if I produced more. I still have the fantasy of him getting the hang of BFing, too, which I am sure everyone here must think I'm nuts!
I am lucky that he eats well, and I have been making him some of his foods. Today he had mangoes, blueberries, peas, greenbeans, and spinach, he eats ridiculously well. Of course, my older DD only eats 3 vegetables! She is a very picky eater. Don't worry, your next one will probobly eat you out of house and home! Elvis at his 8 month visit is 21 pounds!
I feel like pumping is sucking the life out of me! I think I am just going to drop some pumps, which I have been scared to do because of my low supply. But if it will keep me going, I will try. I really really wanted to get to a year. Tomorrow I got o my BF support group, that always makes me feel like i can continue. I don't know what I would do without that and these boards, this board has kept my sanity pumping all of these months!!!!
I just am missing having time for myself, as well. I miss exercising after i took my DD to school, with the baby and pumping I haven't had time, and I am only about 10 pounds from my pre-preg weight, but I am seriously out of shape, and that's affecting me as well.
Thanks so much, you guys have helped me so much, and I appreciate the advice
|Wed, 12-17-2008 - 1:53am
I truly believe that a healthy, happy Mummy + formula is better than a tired, ill, unhappy Mummy + BM. I know the ol' adage is not to quit on a bad day, but if every day is becoming a bad day, then you're allowed to say 'enough's enough'.
Maybe you could just stick at once or twice a day, at very convenient times, for a little bit - even a small amount of BM is great for Elvis.
Hope you get through this and can make the right decision for you.
Let us know how it goes!
|Wed, 12-17-2008 - 8:28am
aww, what is it about the holidays that seems to drive people nuts, it seems like so many of us (in computer land and in RL) are having more and more day bad days.
I hope you continue to have a few more good days.
You need to do what feels right in your heart, whatever that might be.

{{{hugs}}} Don't you wish it was easy and something just happened and production stopped with no choice to make??
|Wed, 12-17-2008 - 10:15am
glad you're feeling better about things. i second what mary kay said--it's a biological thing that makes us so crazy about getting breast milk to our babies. i went to see my therapist about 4 months pp because i was still so emotional about not being able to breast feed ian, and he said, "You know, it's normal for you to be emotional about this, because you're biologically programmed to do that. If women didn't feel like that, their babies would starve." for some reason that made me feel better, because up until then DH was looking at me like i was crazy every time i broke down and cried about breast feeding.
i really didn't stop grieving about bfing until ian was about a year. it was a gradual thing. i probably didn't stop offering him the breast until about 8 months either, and finally i said, "You know what, this is just stressing me out" so i stopped. i didn't do it as consistently as you do anyway, so it wasn't going to work for us.
and i also wanted you to know that i wasn't able to stop supplementing ian until he was about 11 months old and started eating more solids. so i know a bit how you feel on the supply front too.
hope you keep having some better days. when you do decide to HUTH, just remember you've already made it farther than a lot of women do breastfeeding. the average age of weaning is 6 months. so you're already doing a great job!

These are my thoughts EXACTLY! Hugs to you!
(And I've had no luck getting DD back on the breast either. She's refused every attempt. I just don't get it since she was comfort nursing right up to the time I decided I wanted to wean from the pump and just nurse some. And now I've chickened out of weaning.)

November 28, 2014
March 9, 2014
The Landmark Hotel has a few more pieces of plywood surrounding the first floor, but many question whether that's enough to keep the structure safe.
A group of contractors removed some of the green boards that were damaged on the outside of the structure last week. Charlottesville city council said something had to be done to make the Landmark safe.
The owner, John Dewberry, sent a construction crew from Charleston, S.C., to take care of the problem, but to people walking by, it's still an eyesore. They question if it's really safe.
"You see the concrete floors, and it's been sitting there for quite some time," passerby Tom Owen said. "You got your elements, your water, your freezing and thawing and stuff. So you might have some structural integrity issues."
Dewberry said he has secured the building and will begin work on it once he finishes another project in South Carolina.

On Sunday night's The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 6 Episode 11, a tropical storm tore through Florida and left few survivors in its wake.
In a manner of speaking, of course.
It's not only when you watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey online. Every Real Housewives vacation anywhere is meant to stir up two things:
- Funny fish-out-of-water imagery
- Epic fights
This time, the scenery of Boca Raton, Florida, wasn't exotic enough for the humor of the O.C. ladies' trip to Bali, but Jim Marchese sure delivered on #2.
Relieved and cancer-free, Amber Marchese decided she and her hubby would come to Florida on The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 6 Episode 11.
They came, and with a vengeance.

November 23, 2014
CHICAGO (AP) -- Gov. Pat Quinn has approved several laws aimed at increasing boater safety on a holiday weekend that many Illinois residents are spending on lakes and rivers.
The Chicago Democrat signed the three measures Saturday. They require safety courses, set down rules for towing people on water tubes and impose stricter DUI penalties.
Beginning in 2016, residents born after Jan. 1, 1998, must hold a state safety license. The rules apply to those operating watercraft with more than 10 horsepower.
Additionally, boaters towing a person must display a foot-long orange flag while the rider is in the water. And residents convicted of three boater-related DUI offenses or people operating a watercraft with revoked licenses could have their boats taken away.

Ottawa – The Western provinces remain in the best position to ride out the current global economic weakness, and Ontario is seeing bright spots in export growth and business investment for 2013, according to The Conference Board of Canada's Provincial Outlook-Autumn 2012.
"Canada's economy is muddling through the second half of 2012 and into 2013. The weakness has been relatively broad-based across industries, as the struggles of the global economy have hit home," said Marie-Christine Bernard, associate director, provincial outlook. "Some of the weakness is coming from the mining, oil, and gas extraction sector. Most provinces are feeling the weight of lower commodity prices."
For the most part, Western Canadian provinces have been relatively shielded from the fiscal and economic troubles lingering in external markets. The economies of Saskatchewan and Alberta in particular have performed strongly, and their near-term prospects are more favourable than those for the rest of the country. For both provinces, real economic growth will remain at or above three% through 2014.
Development of the oil sands is expected to continue to drive economic growth in Alberta, despite the recent slide in oil prices. Tight labour markets – the unemployment rate is down to 4.5% – have boosted wages and consumer spending. Alberta is forecast to lead all provinces in growth for the second consecutive year, with real GDP set to expand by 3.4% in 2012.
Capital expenditures in Saskatchewan's potash industry are accelerating, putting the province on track to overtake Alberta in 2013 and 2014 as the fastest-growing economy in the country.
Manitoba and British Columbia are also poised for solid growth in the next two years. Coming off a tepid performance in 2012, British Columbia is forecast to grow by 2.7% in 2013 and at a similar pace in 2014 – thanks to improving U.S. housing demand, solid employment growth and rising consumer confidence.
Widespread gains in several industries and a strong year for agriculture have put Manitoba on pace for robust growth of 2.5% in 2012, and growth is expected to exceed two% in each of the next two years.
Ontario's economy has withstood fiscal austerity at both the federal and provincial levels of government, as well as global economic uncertainty in 2012. A solid rebound in vehicle demand in the United States has bolstered Ontario's manufacturing exports. Furthermore, businesses are taking advantage of the strong dollar to invest in retooling their operations. Although growth of only 1.8% is expected in 2012, Ontario's economy will pick up speed in the next two years.
Quebec and Atlantic Canada are barely growing this year, although modest gains are expected in 2013 and 2014. A weak job market, combined with tax hikes that squeezed consumers, and flat export growth curtailed Quebec's economy to growth of just 0.9% in 2012.
At 1.1%, Prince Edward Island is the province with the highest growth forecast for the Atlantic region in 2012. Nova Scotia's economy is forecast to expand by just 0.6% and growth in New Brunswick will settle in at 0.5%. The Newfoundland and Labrador economy is expected to shrink in 2012, due to a slowdown in mining and oil and gas production – although, excluding resource extraction, the province is still doing well.

Miss Universe 2012 Pageant Pictures and Highlights
USA's Olivia Culpo Wins Miss Universe as Australia's Renae Ayris Places in Top 5
Australian Miss Universe candidate Renae Ayris made the top five at the Miss Universe 2012 Pageant held in Las Vegas yesterday. The WA beauty was third runner-up, placing behind Miss Venezuela Irene Sofiá Esser Quintero, Miss Philippines Janine, and Miss USA Olivia Culpo, who is the first American to win the title since 1997. During the show the girls modelled swimsuits, evening gowns and national dress, and the top five participated in a Q&A. Renae is also good friends with Olivia as they were roommates!
Renae's fourth place ranking puts her in the same group as previous Australian representatives who also made the top 10, including Laura Dundovic in 2008, Rachael Finch in 2009, Jesinta Campbell in 2010 (she won Miss Congeniality that year) and Scherri-Lee Biggs last year. Our most famous Miss Universe rep is still Jennifer Hawkins, who won in 2004. Yesterday's competition also featured another Aussie star, Timomatic, who performed during the telecast. He tweeted, "Miss Universe is over!! This was the biggest performance of my life and I had the time of my life!"

Mila Kunis finally confirmed her pregnancy on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. She said that she's expecting her first child with Ashton Kutcher, but wouldn't disclose her due date or the baby's gender and the name they have picked out. "I managed to hide it for a very long time," she said. "[The baby is due] sometime this year."
Mila also revealed that she's been craving pickles and sauerkraut during her pregnancy, and that Ashton has kept up with her demands. "He assumed that I was gonna have goofy cravings, so he stocked our secondary fridge with weird food," she explained. "Just like pickles and sauerkraut, or like anchovies and ice creams. Just in case at one point during this pregnancy I'd be like I really want something. "And it happened last week, I was like, 'Oh my God, I need a pickle.' Like, it was just the weirdest thing. I needed this pickle and he was like, 'Hold on a second' and disappeared in the backyard and came back with the most amazing dill pickle of all time."
That's not the only sweet thing Ashton is doing: He's also learning Russian so they can both speak to the baby in Kunis's native tongue.
When it comes to the actual delivery, Mila says she's going all-natural and won't get an epidural. "I did this to myself; I want to do it right," she says.
Kunis also opened up about their engagement. "We were able to keep this private for two months. Everybody assumed we'd been engaged for so long that I was wearing the ring in public for two months and nobody commented on a single photograph for two months," she said. "It was amazing." Congrats to the happy couple!

Ballad Of The Boy In The Red Shoes Lyrics - Elton John
Review The Song (1)
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
I'm stoned in the twilight
Screaming on the inside
Give me your water, help me survive
Gonna miss the sunlight
When I lose my eyesight
Give me my red shoes, I want to dance
They search for an answer
But that old man wouldn't listen
Back then I was handsome
Back then he was ignorant
And shave off the years now, it's all inside my head
The boy in the red shoes is dancing by my bed
Put them in a box somewhere, put them in a drawer
Take my red shoes, I can't wear them anymore
Had garlands in the wings back then
All the pretty little things back then
Calling out my name, oh what fame brings
After curtain calls and bows
I can't see the front row now
Hand me my red shoes just one more time
They pushed aside our presence
They refused to go the distance
Back then I was Sigmund
Back then he wouldn't listen

Following one of the season's ugliest losses, the Phillies begin the week in Boston for a two-game series with the Red Sox. After that, they'll come home to face the Sox for two more. Tonight's game is the most winnable one.
Tyler Cloyd (1-0, 2.70) opposes Alfredo Aceves (1-1, 8.20), who is making a spot start for Clay Buchholz. Buchholz was scratched with a sore collarbone.
Aceves has been atrocious for two seasons now -- he's 3-11 with eight blown savs, a 5.87 ERA and 1.5 HR/9 since the start of 2012. Opponents are hitting .325/.409/.613 off him this year, meaning he's essentially turned every hitter into Ryan Braun.
Cloyd has been way better on the road than at home early in his big-league career, but this is his toughest test to date. He's never faced an AL team, and Boston has the most pronounced advantage of any AL team in an interleague series because of David Ortiz.
Ortiz has the Red Sox leading all teams in batting average, OBP, slugging, homers, doubles, runs and RBIs from the DH spot. He's hitting .341 with a 1.019 OPS, and has driven in 34 runs in 32 games.
A key in this series will be keeping Jacoby Ellsbury off base as much as possible. When he reaches base twice in a game, Boston is 14-7 and averages 5.5 runs. When he doesn't, the Red Sox score 3.2 runs per game. Major difference.
The Phillies will need to get something, anything out of Michael Young and Ryan Howard if they want to win a few games this week.
Young is hitting .175 since April 30 and his batting average has fallen from .352 to .268.
Howard has hit .192 over the last three weeks with no homers and 19 strikeouts in 52 at-bats. He has the highest AAV of any first baseman ($25 million) but ranks 14th or lower among 20 qualified 1B in BA, OBP, RBIs, walks and strikeouts. He's 10th in homers and 12th in slugging.
Since May 8, the Phillies' 3-4 batters rank dead last in the majors in batting average (.192), OPS (.540) and RBIs (8).
Phillies lineup
1) Ben Revere, CF
2) Michael Young, 3B
3) Jimmy Rollins, SS (batting 3rd for second time this season)
4) Ryan Howard, 1B
5) Delmon Young, DH
6) Domonic Brown, LF
7) John Mayberry, RF
8) Freddy Galvis, 2B

Cooking a beef or lamb roast in a covered barbecue is just a little different to the way you'd cook it in your oven. You prepare it in just the same way, but you use 'indirect cooking' to roast the meat. Indirect cooking simply means there is no heat directly under the meat as it cooks.

Tips for cooking a roast in a barbecue
Make sure the meat stands at room temperature for around 15-20 mins before cooking (no longer in summer and certainly not left in direct sunlight). This takes the fridge chill from the meat and allows it to cook evenly.
Leave time for resting after cooking. The meat should stand in a warm place for around 20 mins before carving, otherwise all of the juices will be on the serving plate rather than in the roast. Wrap the roast loosely with foil – not tightly or it will sweat.

I agree with President Obama, in that we need "a responsible approach" in dealing "with our fiscal challenges." That responsibility should start with him. This sequester BS started with him-it was his idea to begin with. I'm going to keep fighting to get rid of those across-the-board budget cuts—the sequester—which are hurting our military and our economy. We need a responsible approach that deals with our fiscal challenges and keeps our military and our economy strong. And I'm going to make sure you stay the greatest military in the world—bar none. That's what I'm fighting for. That's what you and your families deserve.-BHO
