Margy's Blog & Updates | News
Soooooo – did some advocate or operative actually propose responding to the Ann-Romney-Attack-Scandal (I kid) by raising the question of whether welfare Moms should be required to work?
Or did Chris Hayes decide on his own that it was important to expose an apparent inconsistency in the Romney world view? (A fair charge in this case.)
Either way, the result may be more reinforcing of the already dominant organizing idea: people on welfare are irresponsible, and therefore perhaps we have to make them work or else they won't, etc. etc. etc. Hayes reveals this problem with his guests.
But, by highlighting the problem – he raised the issue. And now the bad frame is all over the web. Every progressive advocate repeating this wants to highlight the double standard. The problem is that too many people don't see it as a double standard at all.
Progressives can't win any battle by raising the topic of welfare as a defense — particularly when the case requires agreeing that making welfare Moms work is a bad idea (even when it is).

Alfalfa has been used as an herbal medicine for over 1,500 years. Alfalfa is high in protein, calcium, plus other minerals, vitamins in the B group, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin K.
In early Chinese medicine, physicians used young alfalfa leaves to treat disorders related to the digestive tract and the kidneys. In Ayurvedic medicine, physicians used the leaves for treating poor digestion. They made a cooling poultice from the seeds for boils. At the time, alfalfa was also believed to be beneficial to people suffering from arthritis and water retention.

Singapore is willing to accept slower growth as a trade-off for social stability as it aims to keep down the number of foreigners working in the city-state, Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam told Reuters.
Over the past decade, Singapore's economy has expanded by a 6.4 percent annual average. Tharman said that he would be happy if Singapore grew 3 percent a year, as long as growth was driven mainly by gains in productivity.
"Three percent growth is good growth," he said during an interview on Thursday.
High past growth has brought rising numbers of foreigners to work in wealthy Singapore, which in turn has spurred discontent among citizens angered by the strains put on infrastructure and services.
Between 2000 and 2013, Singapore's population rose to 5.4 million from 4 million, with foreigners accounting for the bulk of the 35 percent increase.
Unhappiness about inflows of foreigners helped an opposition party gain ground in the 2011 general elections as the People's Action Party, which has ruled Singapore since independence in 1965, won only 60 percent of votes, its worst showing to date. The next election must be held by January 2017.
Tharman, who is also a deputy prime minister, said the government accepts a slower growth rate as the cost of ensuring the country retains its national identity, combats over-crowding and keeps the ratio of foreign to local workers at around one-third.
"We are never going to be Dubai, we are a country with a social ethos that we take very seriously," the 57-year-old finance minister said.
The number of foreigners in Dubai is larger than that of locals, a result of its aggressive economic growth strategy.
At the end of 2013, there were 1.32 million foreigners in Singapore who held employment or work-passes, around 38 percent of the total work-force.
In 2010, Singapore launched a 10-year plan to restructure its economy, aiming to increase productivity and cap the ratio of foreigners in the workforce at around one-third. The plan aimed to raise the productivity rate by an average of 2 to 3 percent a year, though it actually fell in 2012 and 2013.
In line with the plan, the government has imposed regulations to curb hiring of overseas workers in some sectors. (Reuters)

Jamie Lynn Spears "Everything is just completely fabricated"
Friday 8:34 AM, 10/10/2008
In an exclusive interview for OK! the new parents Jamie Lynn Spears and Casey Aldridge defend themselves and their relationship against all rumor that has nagged them since the birth of their baby daughter, Maddie Briann. A recent series of scandalous tabloid stories have alleged that not only has 19-years-old Casey been unfaithful to Jamie Lynn, but that he's also gotten another woman pregnant. The stories insist that the couple's relationship is a sham, that he is still seeing other girls and that Jamie Lynn is pregnant again! But according to themselves none of these rumors are true and Jamie Lynn feels bad for Casey's family. "Casey's family is not used to this," Jamie Lynn explains. "They might assume it's true. My family knows it's not. It was definitely harder for Casey's family to deal with it, but you just explain that it is part of this business." Casey adds "In a small town, everybody knows everybody, but when money's involved, you find out who your friends are."

Brazilian Airline BRA to Buy 20 Embraer 195s
By Cesar Bianconi, Elzio Barreto, Reuters | Jun. 20, 2007
Brazilian airline BRA Transportes Aereos will buy 20 Embraer 195-model jets, aircraft maker Embraer said on June 20.
Embraer said it signed an agreement with BRA valued at US$736 million at January 2007 list prices. BRA has an option to buy 20 more of the planes, and the total value of the transaction, including the options, could be as much as US$1.4 billion.
BRA, which sold a 20 percent stake to a group of investors including Goldman Sachs and Bank of America in December, will take the first deliveries of the 195 jets in the second half of 2008, Embraer said. The Brazilian airline also agreed to lease two 195 jets from GE Commercial Aviation Services.
BRA, which started operating as a charter airline in 1999, will be the first Brazilian airline to operate the larger Embraer jets.
With a fleet of 10 airplanes, BRA has regular flights and charters to 33 cities in Brazil and outside the country, including Lisbon, Madrid and Buenos Aires.
BRA is part of the tourism business of brothers Humberto and Walter Folegatti, which includes the PNX tour operator and HWF hotel chain.

Contract as Empowerment: A New Theory of Contract
Robin Bradley Kar
University of Illinois College of Law
August 4, 2014
Modern contract theory is in a quandary. As Alan Schwartz and Robert E. Scott have observed: "Contract law has neither a complete descriptive theory, explaining what the law is, nor a complete normative theory, explaining what the law should be." This article aims to cure these deficiencies with a novel theory, "Contract as Empowerment".
Contract as Empowerment is a deontological (duty-based) theory, rooted in a special strand of social contract theory known as "contractualism". The theory nevertheless differs from more familiar deontological theories, which are typically rooted in moral intuitions about promising, autonomy or reliance. Because of its foundation in social contract theory, contract as empowerment can absorb a number of important economic and psychological insights, which have traditionally given efficiency theories explanatory advantages over traditional deontological theories. But contract as empowerment can absorb these insights without subjecting them to thoroughgoing economic interpretation. It can thereby produce a more robust, unified and normatively satisfying account of many core areas of doctrine. Among other things, contract as empowerment offers a more compelling account of the consideration doctrine than exists in the current literature; a better account of the expectation damages remedy (both descriptively and morally); and a special way of understanding the appropriate role of certain doctrines like unconscionability, which regulate private market activity by making the scope or content of contractual obligations depend on facts other than contracting parties' subjective wills.
This last fact provides a major point of contrast with most existing theories of contract. One of the most striking features of the way that standard debates between deontological and consequentialist theories have been framed in this area of the law is that general theories on both sides typically share a key implication. They imply that legal doctrines that invite courts to police bargains for fairness reflect alien intrusions into the basic subject matter of contract. Contract as empowerment suggests that this framing has been distorting our understanding of contracts (and hence modern markets) for some time now. It offers an alternative framework, which understands both private market empowerment and some market regulations as direct expressions of the same fundamental principles. Because this framework is principled, it can help depoliticize a range of currently heated debates about the appropriate scope and role of market regulation. This framework can be applied to many different forms of market exchange — from those in consumer goods to labor, finance, credit, mortgages and many others.
This article is the first in a two part series. Contract as Empowerment introduces and develops the theory of contract as empowerment. Contract as Empowerment II applies the theory to a range of doctrinal problems and argues that contract as empowerment offers the best general interpretation of contract law. This second article is currently available on ssrn at: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2476759.

About the Author: Arturo Valenzuela serves as Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs.
I had the honor to participate with Secretary Clinton and colleagues from around the world at the March 31 Haiti Donors' Conference "Towards a New Future for Haiti." The conference was jointly hosted by the United States and the United Nations (UN), in cooperation with the Government of Haiti, at UN headquarters in New York City. More than 120 UN nations and delegations participated in the conference.
Approximately two and half months after the devastating January 12 earthquake in Port-au-Prince, we came to New York to mobilize international support to meet the development needs of Haiti and lay the foundation for Haiti's long-term recovery. I am proud to report that we not only met but exceeded our goal of raising $3.8 billion. The member states of the United Nations and international partners pledged $5.3 billion dollars for the next two years and $9.9 billion in total for the next three years and beyond. At the conference, Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive presented the Haitian government's vision for the country's future and how international support can assist. It was clear to all participants that the Haitian people and their government have a vision for their own future and a plan to make it a reality. It is the Haitian people who will lead the development of Haiti tomorrow.
Late morning on March 31, a historic pledging session began that carried into the late afternoon. Countries, international organizations, and other partners had an opportunity to publicly pledge resources, and committed to working together in a sustained effort to support Haiti.
It was truly a remarkable experience to watch as government officials, private sector representatives, multilateral institution representatives, and non-governmental organization representatives from around the world took the podium one after another to contribute to the global effort to build back Haiti better. All of the attending partners lent their voice and resources to help raise the money required over coming years to implement the vision of the Haitian people.
So how will this money be used? What are the strategic points guiding the plan to build back Haiti better? They are:
* ownership — of the plan for the future of Haiti by the people and government of Haiti;
* inclusiveness — of all stakeholders, most importantly the Haitian people, as well as the diaspora community, state and local governments, donors, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector;
* accountability and transparency — by the Government of Haiti and by their donor partners to the people of Haiti and the international community;
* coordination — between and among the Government of Haiti and donors;
* effectiveness — of investments that improve the lives of the people and support the Government of Haiti's efforts to re-build their country and bring prosperity; and,
* sustainability — of our commitment to the people and Government of Haiti that grows Haitian capacity to provide for their own future.
The donors' conference in New York gave the opportunity for the Government of Haiti, other nations and people around the world to focus on Haiti's future. This was a critical moment to look forward, even while we collectively continue to address the urgent humanitarian needs Haiti faces today.
Building back Haiti better — creating a stable and prosperous future — depends on continuing to provide vital and appropriate assistance to those affected by the earthquake, including shelter, sanitation, food, and security. Immediately following the massive earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12, the international community stepped up to provide emergency relief. This unprecedented outpouring of support continues. And now, following the donors' conference in New York, that same tremendous and varied global community is looking to the future, working together to build back Haiti better.
How would you build back Haiti better? Send me your ideas on Twitter.

For the past seven years, Holiday House NYC has showcased top interior designers to raise breast cancer awareness in the design industry. To quote the organization, Holiday House is about the celebration of life, with each designer selecting a holiday or a special moment in life as an inspiration for their design. We are proud to share these photos from two of the outstanding designers who featured Circa Lighting in their dreamy spaces this year!
Patrick J. Hamilton
Is his brilliantly executed "Derby Deconstructed" space, Patrick J Hamilton brought a horse of a different color (or two!) to Manhattan. As a company headquartered in the South, we can always appreciate a room that incorporates a good race day mint julep. Hamilton featured the Eliot Table Lamp in Blue Wave, as well as a pair of brass Westbury Table Lamps fitting of the luxe equestrian theme. The blue ribbon goes to you, Patrick!
Matthew Patrick Smyth
Matthew Patrick Smyth is known for his elegantly livable aesthetic, so we knew to expect his "Anniversary Room" to be the picture-perfect space for sponsor Traditional Home. He featured Pask Pharmacy Lamps in Bronze, Paulo Floor Lights also in Bronze, Large Fluted Spire Table Lamps in Gilded Iron, and Small Tribeca Iron Floor Lamps on either side of the mantel. This room feels so much like a custom New York home, we nearly forgot it was in a showhouse!
It was such a pleasure to work with both designers, and a treat to see the stunning finished spaces!
If you are in NYC and haven't toured the Holiday House, there is still time! Holiday House NYC will be open to view until December 21st – find out more and buy tickets here.

This year's Traditional Home Napa Valley Showhouse was located at the beautiful Caldwell Vineyard in the heart of Coombsville. The 123-acre winery estate was planted by John Caldwell in 1982, and has since been the fruit source for some of the highest-rated wines to come out of Napa Valley. We were thrilled to return as a sponsor to this year's house, which benefits the Napa Valley Film Festival. Scroll through for a preview of the house before photos are published in Traditional Home next year!
West End Napa designed the dining room space, incorporating the Etoile Linear Pendant in Gilded Iron above the table. The living room area featured a Basil Small Flush Mount in Natrual Brass and a pair of Dauphine Sconce in Gilded Iron.
The luxe guest bedroom was designed by Harmonious Living, who placed a Cameron Table Lamp in Quartz on both nightstands. LMK Interiors created the serene master bathroom, and used a pair Calliope Bath Lights in Polished Nickel to light the mirror.
Additionally, the Basil Large Flush Mount in Polished Nickel was used in the master bedroom. The powder room in the main house was designed by Lauren Pique, and featured the Aspect Library Sconce in Soft Brass.
The Boston Functional Library Wall Light in Bronze served as a picture light in the checkroom.
Congratulations to all on another breathtaking Napa Valley Showhouse. We can't wait to see the rest of the house in Traditional Home October 2015!
There's no place like home for the holidays! This week, Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles opened their 2014 Holiday Home, which benefits the Southeastern Horticultural Society's Children's Learning Gardens and Farms. Our Atlanta showroom staff had the pleasure of working with several of the talented designers featured this year. Showroom manager Lauren shares her thoughts and snaps of the highlights from opening day in this post.
Michel Boyd of Smith Boyd Interiors: He's loved by many for both his design sense and vibrant personality. We're excited to see what the future has in store for him!

Being new to our showroom, not only would we like to thank Brian for incorporating our lighting, we would also like to shout out to Niki Papadopolous of Mark Williams Design Associates for referring him in our direction. One of the many things we love about the Atlanta design community is the comradery that exists among such talented designers.

Last weekend, our team in Chicago had the pleasure of attending and participating in Dining by Design, the annual event hosted by Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS (DIFFA). We partnered with the wonderful Sarah Whit Interiors to sponsor a table and transform a space at Chicago's Merchandise Mart into a lush Garden of Eatin', complete with a canopy of gilded Hampton Large Pendants.
Fabulous design for a fabulous cause!

The Circa team had a fantastic time in High Point as we do every market. The recently expanded Visual Comfort showroom was filled many new products, alongside the classic pieces we never seem to tire of. Some of our most beloved designers – E.F. Chapman, Thomas O'Brien, Alexa Hampton, Suzanne Kasler, and Barbara Barry – had several new designs we can't wait to get our hands on. Scroll through our snaps from market for a sneak peek of the fixtures that will be available on our website in the coming months!
This market was an exceptionally exciting one, as Visual Comfort introduced two new collections: Kelly Wearstler and Nierman Weeks. Both of these collaborations were all the buzz this market, and we took a few photos to give you a preview of our favorites:
As always, the Aerin and Ralph Lauren lines blew us away with the beautiful and sophisticated additions to their collections.
Look for these fixtures and many, many others on our website as they become available in the coming months!
"I am interested in how to bring things of the past into better design for the time of now."
Thomas O'Brien is a master of reinvention when it comes to modern style. Known for his ability to blend vintage elegance with streamlined minimalism, O'Brien's work can be appreciated by fans of all generations of design.
O'Brien's collection of lighting for Visual Comfort & Co. is one of the company's most extensive and successful lines.
"One of my favorite areas of design is lighting. I like its mechanical and technical aspects, as a true product of 20th century modern design. Much of what I do falls into the range of functional modern and industrial modern lights; but each season, we also try to present something surprising that is more formal or traditional in feeling."
His collection produced Circa Lighting's best-selling fixture of all time: the Bryant Sconce. Our customers love the classic look and versatility of this simple yet refined fixture. The fabulous price point and consistent availability of the Bryant certainly contribute to its popularity as well.
In all of these endeavors, O'Brien is a collector first, who gathers the world of beautiful things that give a life meaning as well as style. A passionate merchant, he founded Aero Ltd., the iconic home boutique that is the retail face of his design firm, Aero Studios.
In addition to his line for Visual Comfort & Co., O'Brien holds product partnerships with Safavieh, Hickory Chair, Reed & Barton, Groundworks, Waterworks, and Target.

When my dad said that I had to get a summer job, I immediately thought of something like flipping burgers at McDonald's and did not warm up to that image. Thankfully, he suggested applying for a job at the parks department lining baseball fields. I exhaled, thankful that I was not stuck with the alternative. Turns out, I was in for a bit of a surprise. First off, I had to apply and go to an interview. It was the …

Blackburn have re-signed David Bentley on loan from Tottenham until the end of the season.
Bentley left Rovers to join Spurs in a £17million deal in 2008, but despite finding success initially, the midfielder soon fell out of favour at the north London club.
Bentley has spent the last two years on loan at West Ham, Birmingham and Russian side Rostov and has not played for his parent club since November 2010.
Andre Villas-Boas made it clear that the 28-year-old is not part of his plans for the rest of the season so he has decided to let the player re-join the club where he enjoyed the most successful years of his career.
Bentley joined the Lancashire club from Arsenal in 2005 and helped them qualify for the UEFA Cup the following season.
The winger went on to earn his first of seven England caps in 2007. He was hailed as the 'new David Beckham' and Spurs broke their transfer record to sign the player five years ago.
He soon fell down the pecking order at White Hart Lane, despite a memorable long-range strike against the club's bitter rivals Arsenal in October 2008.
Perhaps the most memorable moment of his time at Spurs was when he soaked Harry Redknapp during a TV interview shortly after the team had qualified for the Champions League at Manchester City.
Rovers have confirmed that Bentley, who will the squad number 35, is eligible to play in tomorrow's FA Cup quarter-final clash against Arsenal.

This post is one in a multi-part series.
Frédéric Colas has been travelling the globe with his family since July 2011 raising money to build an African school for Burkina Faso's Cissé Yargo village. Every time a Facebook friend or "real time" friend hosts the family, the Colases donate $50 to their "We Like the World" project. In addition, for each person who friends the project on Facebook, the family donates $1. The journey ends in Burkina Faso this June.
At Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora, we met beautiful fish… and great people!
What's proving amazing about our round-the-world trip are the deep and true connections we share with the people we get to know, forming a global chain of social friendship. So far, that chain is made up of 26 families who have generously hosted us in the places we visited—and by doing so, helped us donate money to build a primary school in Burkina Faso, Africa. After several months of travel, we can say that—beyond the beautiful and stunning places we have seen so far in the U.S., Canada, Argentina and Chile—we feel that the relationships, the human-to-human connections, are the highlight and what make our trip so unique.
For the same reason, our stay at Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora was a wonderful experience. No question, the Bora Bora lagoon is totally magical. The resort is, according to people we have met in Tahiti, the best of French Polynesia. And because Four Seasons covered our accommodation costs, we were able donate three times more to our school project "We Like The World" than in a normal week. But what made that stay even more enjoyable was that we got to really know the Four Seasons staff. These people went above and beyond what you would expect of them, even for a five-star resort. They are passionate about what they do, and that passion is contagious! I want to talk about two of them.
Hiti (from Hitiatua, "the rise of the gods") manages the resort's Kids For All Seasons club*. He is a very sweet and strong Polynesian man who loves kids. He is himself a father of two little girls, Heivaimaru ("freshwater crown"), four, and three-year-old Heibura ("red crown"). Hiti has been at the resort for one year. When we asked Hiti what he specifically likes about being on staff, he immediately told us about the people: that all get along really well and work in complete synergy. And that this helps the children's experience at the kids' club even better. The catering team makes the afternoon snack tailored to the kids' preferences. The reception team briefs Hiti about new young guests so that he knows what to expect.
Before moving toTahiti, Hiti taught Polynesian dancing in Papeete, the capital of French Polynesia. Hiti loves it when the kids he takes care of are active and learning something new. He prefers all the sea activities: kayaking, paddling and snorkeling; but also making pearl necklaces, coconut painting and, of course, Polynesian dancing, which, combines both physical activity and education. We witnessed this when Hiti taught our eight-year-old daughter Héloïse a dance.
In addition to the physical movements of the four-minute dance, he told her about the Polynesian words, the meaning of the movements, so in the end, she knew exactly what she was dancing and why. We were so proud! Héloïse also painted a coconut—a real piece of art and that we had no choice but to carry with us when we left…
Oliver is the resort's marine biologist. This Frenchman, a new father of a six-week-old girl Alyx, is very lucky because his job allows him to live his passion: creating a marine sanctuary for coral and fish. Then he gets the pleasure of helping others discover it, especially kids. Right at the resort.
Around this sanctuary, Oliver is building a learning centre about the fragile coral eco-system so he can share his knowledge with guests and staff members. But he doesn't just do that by talking. Oliver also swims with us to his "touch pool" in Ruahatu, the resort lagoon. Here we got to see the coral grafts Oliver has made and the numerous colourful fish who feed on the coral. We even got to take Oliver's best friend into our hands, a cute puffer fish, who loves to be cuddled.
His goal: "guests leave the resort with more knowledge, not just with more pictures." When he joined the resort's founding team, Oliver said he asked himself: "If I were a guest, what would I like to learn from the place where I'm spending my vacation?" Estelle and I really connected with Oliver—maybe because, like us, he has travelled the world. Says Oliver, "My round-the-world trip lasted for eight years. I arrived in Polynesia five years ago, and decided to settle here because of the people: they are exceptionally nice."
And this is how we spent, according to Héloïse, "the best week since we left Paris."
This post is one in a multi-part series.
*Kids For All Seasons (KFAS) is a Four Seasons complimentary recreational and educational program for children of resort guests. Most KFAS clubs are designed for youth four to 12 years old, and open daily from 9 to 5. (Younger children can often join KFAS with a nanny or parent, or resorts can arrange for babysitting.) But details vary from property to property, so check the resort's website for more information.
Kids can go all day or just for an hour or two. Activities inside and out include games, sports, music, treasure hunts, swimming, arts and crafts, cultural education, environmental preservation work and yoga. Not your average camp, the VIP offerings are pretty extraordinary—for example, at Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora, kids can help the resort's marine biologist graft coral in the lagoon sanctuary.

Moms, health professonals steadfast in their beliefs in breastfeeding
By Jeanne Millsap For The Herald-News January 24, 2012 8:14PM
At A Glance
The payoff for businesses that support their breastfeeding employees includes the following:
Retention of experienced employees
Reduction in sick time taken by both moms and dads for children's illnesses
Lower health care and insurance costs
More satisfied, loyal employees
Companies that build goodwill in the community are set apart from their competitors and have a competitive advantage when recruiting new staff
Large return on investment
How employers can make work environment conducive to nursing women:
Provide a lactation room — a clean, safe, comfortable room for them to express milk in privacy. A lactation room is one of the health benefits most valued by breastfeeding employees.
Make sure employees are allowed two or three 15-minute breaks each eight-hour shift (normal break times are usually sufficient) for milk expression.
Offer a "return to work" class for pregnant employees and their partners and family members led by the human resources department. The goal is to anticipate the type of breastfeeding support they will need when they return to work.
Give support. A positive, accepting attitude from superiors and co-workers helps employees feel good about their decision to continue breastfeeding after they return to work.

Updated: February 26, 2012 8:08AM
The nursing mother sit-ins at Target stores across the nation in December brought to light once again the value many new mothers place on feeding their babies what some call the "liquid gold" of nutrition — breast milk.
The sit-ins were designed to protest the allegations that employees at a Texas Target told a nursing customer she could not nurse in public inside the store, but instead should go to a fitting room to breastfeed her baby.
There are still issues nursing women and the health community face with women breastfeeding in public, but as more and more information surfaces on nursing's health benefits not only to the baby, but also to the mother, it is becoming more acceptable.
"About 75 percent of mothers are breastfeeding today," said Silver Cross Hospital lactation consultant Katy Lebbing. "That number is much higher in some other parts of the world. In Australia, it's 96 percent."
Lebbing said babies who nurse have fewer ear infections and less gastroenteritis. There are also fewer cases of sudden infant death syndrome in babies who are breastfed, and their chances of future obesity, diabetes and heart disease are less.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, other research has shown that breastfed babies have fewer lower respiratory infections, asthma, Type 2 diabetes, and possibly also Type 1 diabetes, skin rashes, and childhood leukemia.
Lebbing said she believes the rates of obesity are lower because mothers make the perfect amount of milk for their babies.
"With formula," she said, "they just keep chugging it down."
Moms benefit too
Mothers who breastfeed may also, surprisingly, have several health benefits, including decreased risks of Type 2 diabetes, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer and post-partum depression.
And a wonderful bonus, Lebbing said, is the hormone rush mothers may feel.
"It's a euphoric, happy feeling," she said.
In addition to the obvious health benefits, facts show nursing mothers burn an additional 200-500 calories a day producing milk. That's like swimming 30 laps in a pool or bicycling uphill an hour a day.
It's less expensive to nurse than to feed a baby formula also, and business managers are even finding it's worth their fiscal while to create a private, clean nursing space at work for new moms to express breast milk with a pump.
Melba Groves of Minooka made the decision to nurse all four of her children.
"It seemed the natural thing to do," she said.
Groves admitted it wasn't easy at first. She got support for it, though, and attended La Leche meetings, where she learned more about technique and became more comfortable with the whole process. With her fourth child, she was even comfortable enough to nurse on a family outing at a theme park.
In addition to the health benefits, Groves said nursing formed a strong bond between her and her children that lasted even through their teens and beyond.
Lebbing said there are some women who should not consider breastfeeding, and those are women who have HIV and some other types of serious illnesses, those on chemotherapy and women who have had some types of breast surgery.
For those who are able to nurse, Lebbing said they will benefit in many ways. Find someone to show you how, she said. It will make it much easier.

You haven't experienced Emacs if you haven't experienced the power of
C-x C-e. This is the magical keybinding which evalulates the current line. Another useful companion is
C-M-x, which evaluates the current function.
Lisp dialects naturally work with these patterns seamlessly, and once I figured out the possibilities of this I got addicted and wanted it available in all of my languages. It's like having a debugger available all the time. But unlike debuggers where you inspect and change variables at run time, and then need to translate your changes back to code, in Lisp you just edit the code directly and eval (and repeat until you like the result).

FacebookTwitterGoogle+PinterestStumbleUpon This NorCal based STI is one of those cars we've been meaning to feature for a very long time, but our schedules never quite clicked with owners. I remember first falling in love with this thing when I saw it pull up to our meet mid last year. Back then it sat on Work VS-XX's which looked just as incredible as the current setup! It was honestly one of the first newer STI's that I've seen in person and actually desired. Vinh is part of the RoyalOrigin family so it shouldn't be a surprise to see a car with fitment like this coming from them. These guys know what to do to their cars to stand out, and don't even get us started on how awesome and down to earth they all are individually. Scroll down for more! Photos By: Brian Valdizno exclusively for StanceNation.com Coming from VS-XX's, Vinh upgraded to Work Emotion 11R-FT finished in Matte Gray just a few months ago. Offset is right at +22 all around, and wheels are wrapped in the stretch friendly Nankang 235/40/18 rubber. He finished the wheels off with some Kic project r40 neochrome lugs and moved on to the suspension. He dropped it on BC racing coilovers with White line rear camber kit and SPC front camber bolts to tuck those Nankang tires in the fenders. Vinh also added the Cusco front power brace & Cusco front strut bar for some stability. As always, hit the Read More button for more photos! Exterior of the car features a custom painted grill and foglight housing, painted side badges and painted fog lights that only a couple of cars can pull off. We always get people asking what the red things behind the grill are, and they're just horns. Well, hellahorns to be exact. Vinh went with a complete Chargespeed carbon fiber lip kit around the car, some tail light overlays and a set of JDM visors to finish it all off. It's a relatively simple look overall that really works. Tell us what you think in the comment box. Vinh also played around with some go-fast modifications such as the MXP quad exhaust system with Megan catless downpipe, AEM cold air intake, Cobb Accessport and Buddy Club Turbo Timer. He tells us that he plans on focusing more on the engine once his new wheels are in. That's right, the 11R's are already sold and a new set of more aggressive wheels are on the way. All that he would share with us are a few numbers, 18×11! Not much else really needs to be said, right? Big shout to Vinh and Brian for making this happen finally. Be on a lookout for more RoyalOrigin cars in the near future! We thank you all very much for your support and make sure you like us on facebook! 22 Responses abbitt wilkerson June 16, 2011 AWFILMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you were mine
But now those days are memories in time
Life's empty without you by my side
My heart belongs to you
No matter what I try
When I get the courage up to love
somebody new
It always falls apart 'cause they just
can't compare to you
Your love won't release me I'm bound
under ball and chain
Reminiscing our love as i watch 4
season's change
In come the winter breeze
that chills the air and drifts the snow
And I imagine kissing you under the
When springtime makes its way here
Lilac blooms reminds me of the scent of
your perfume
When summer burns with heat
I always get the hots for you
Go skinny dipping in the ocean where we
used to do
When autumn sheds the leaves the
trees are bare
When you're not here it doesn't feel
the same
Remember the nights when we closed
our eyes
And vowed that you and I would be
in love for all time
Anytime I think about these things I
shared with you
I break down and cry 'cause I get so
Until you release me I'm bound under
ball and chain
Reminiscing our love as I watch 4
season's change
This loneliness
has crushed my heart
Please let me love again
'cause I need your love to comfort me
and ease my pain
Or 4 seasons will bring the loneliness
Album:Cooleyhighharmony [Reissue] (1993)

Girl you know we belong together
I don't have time for you to be playing with my heart like this
You'll be mine forever baby
You just wait
We belong together
And you know that I am right
Why do you play with my heart
Why do you play with my mind
Said we'd be forever
Said it'd never die
How could you love me and leave me and never
Say goodbye
When I can't sleep at night
Without holding you tight
Girl, each time I try I just break down and cry
Pain in my head
Oh, I'd rather be dead
Spinning around and around
(chorus 2x)
Although we've come
To the end of the road
Still I can't let go
It's unnatural
You belong to me
I belong to you
Girl, I know you really love me
You just don't realize
You've never been there before
It's only
Your first time
Maybe I'll forgive you
Maybe you'll try
We should be happy together forever
You and I
Will you love me again
Like you loved me before
This time I want you to love me much more
This time instead
Just come to my bed
And baby just don't let me go
(talking, except things in parentheses)
Girl, I'm here for you
All those time as night
When you just hurt me
And just ran out with that other fella
Baby I knew about it
I just didn't care
You just don't understand how much I love
Do you?
I'm here for you
I'm not about to go out on cheat you
(Maybe I'll forgive you)
Just like you did
But baby that's alright
I love you anyway
(Maybe you will try)
And I'm still going to be here with you until my dying day
(We should be happy together forever)
Right now
I'm just in so much pain
Cuz you just won't come back to me
(You and I)
Will you?
Just come back
Yes baby, my heart is lonely
My heart hurts
Yes, I feel pain too
Baby please
(back to singing)
This time instead just come to my bed
And baby just don't let me go

The east coast family
Never skipped a beat, na
While cooling on South street
Jet black Benz, plenty of friends
And all the Philly steaks you could eat

Could it really happen? Or do dreams fade away
Then we started singing them
They said it sounded smooth
So we started a group and here we are
Kickin' it just for you
Motownphilly's back again
Doin' a little east coast fling
Boyz II Men going off
Not too hard, not too soft
The spotlight is on us now
Watch us do this
Da da, daaa da da, da da da da da da
Live and direct from Philly town
Rap and hype and we can get down
We are ready to roll
So now the world will know that we were
Back in school we used to dream about this everyday
Could it really happen? Or do dreams fade away
Then we started singing them
They said it sounded smooth
So we started a group and here we are
Kickin' it just for you
Motownphilly's back again
Doin' a little east coast fling
Boyz II Men going off
Not too hard, not too soft
Doom doom doom da da, doom doom doom da da
Da di da di da da, da da, daa daa daa
Doom doom doom da da, doom doom doom da da

Where did we lose our way
Girl it's drivin' me insane
And I know I just need one more chance
To prove my love to you
If you come back to me
I'll guarantee
That I'll never let you go
Can we go back to the days our love was strong
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong
Can somebody tell me how you get things back
The way they use to be
Oh God give me a reason
I'm down on bended knee
I'll never walk again until you come back to me
I'm down on bended knee
So many nights I dream of you
Holding my pillow tight
I know I don't need to be alone
When I open up my eyes
To face reality
Every moment without you
It seems like eternity
I'm begging you, begging you come back to me
Gonna swallow my pride
Say I'm sorry
Stop pointing fingers the blame is on me
I want a new life
And I want it with you
If you feel the same
Don't ever let it go
You gotta believe in the spirit of love
It can heal all things
We won't hurt any more
No I don't believe our love's terminal
I'm down on my knees begging you please
Come home
Wanna build a new life
Just you and me
Gonna make you my wife
Raise a family

I was young and didn't have nowhere to run
I needed to wake up and see (and see)
What's in front of me (na-na-na)
There has to be a better way (sing it again)
A better way to show I'm grateful, hmm
2-So I thought up this song, uh, to show my appreciation
For lovin' me so long
You don't know how much you mean to me
1-'Cause even though when times got rough
You never turned away, you were right there
And I thank you, thank you
When I felt I had enough you never turned away
You were right there and I thank you, thank you
All through my life I knew that you'd be my world
Knowing everywhere I go things you taught me
They would show
So many times and changes you've seen me through
I sure enough couldn't have survived without you

And we don't even know what we argue about
Don't even say I love you no more
'Cause saying how we feel is no longer allowed
2-Some people will work things out
And some just don't know how to change
1-Let's not wait till the water runs dry
We might watch our whole lives pass us by
Let's not wait till the water runs dry
We'll make the biggest mistake of our lives
Don't do it, baby
Now..Now they can see the tears in our eyes
But we deny the pain that lies
Deep in our hearts
Well maybe that's a pain we can't hide
'Cause everybody knows that we're both torn apart
Why do we hurt each other?
Why do we push love away?
(repeat 1, 2, 1)
