Smith returns to London Irish

Former England attack coach Brian Smith has rejoined London Irish as director of rugby, the Aviva Premiership club have confirmed.
Smith previously held the position between 2005 and 2008 before leaving the Exiles to join Martin Johnson's England management team. Toby Booth remains as London Irish head coach.
Smith stood down from his England post after the failed World Cup campaign and his coaching was criticised by some unnamed players in the leaked post-tournament review. But Smith is credited with laying the foundations for London Irish's most successful years during his previous stint at the club.
Smith took London Irish to a European Challenge Cup final and a Heineken Cup semi-final, against Toulouse, before Booth took over. Irish went on to reach the Premiership final and qualify for the Heineken Cup on three successive occasions but this season they are struggling. The Exiles have lost their last four Aviva Premiership matches and Smith returns to the helm of a side currently ninth in the table.
London Irish chief executive Andy Martin said: "We have made great strides over the past couple of years to make this club successful both on and off the field by building a team which has a good mix of experience and raw talent.
"We are delighted therefore that Brian will be returning. He is a top-class manager with a proven track record of success both at club and international level.
"We believe that his experience will help to strengthen our current resources and will be the boost we need to get back on track this season and beyond. There is no doubt that it has been a tough few weeks, something that we are all feeling."
Smith's return to rugby leaves Martin Johnson as the only member of England's World Cup management team without a position. John Wells and Mike Ford have joined Gary Gold's coaching team at Newcastle while Graham Rowntree has remained part of the England set-up under interim boss Stuart Lancaster.
"I am delighted to be returning to London Irish," Smith said. "Toby and I have always had a great relationship and that brought with it a lot of success on field in my time at the club and I know that we're destined for even greater things.
"We're building a new squad with fantastic potential and if we all pull together we can really make things happen."
London Irish have already confirmed the departures of Nick Kennedy and Guy Armitage to Toulon, with England full-back Delon Armitage set to follow in the summer.

Buy Cisco Ahead of Earnings
By Richard Saintvilus - 05/09/12 - 9:47 AM EDTA recent article suggesting the future growth potential of networking giant Cisco
Expectations for the QuarterFirst let's take a look at the company's fiscal second-quarter report for the period ending in January. Cisco then reported an impressive 44% increase in net income reaching $2.2 billion or 40 cents per share -- well ahead of the $1.5 billion or 27 cents per share it earned in the same period of a year ago, both topping analysts' estimate. Revenue arrived at $11.5 billion, an increase of 11% from the $10.4 billion in the same period last year. This was the third consecutive quarter it had beaten Wall Street expectations, showing at the same time just how keen it is on maintaining its leverage while improving its margins. However the report also showed the company still has plenty of areas that it needed to fix. These are areas to which I will pay close attention during the coming announcement. Cisco experienced a 7% decline in growth orders, while rivals Riverbed
Bottom LineThough Cisco is moving in the right direction, it has an uphill battle to convince a market that rarely forgives and certainly never forgets. The company has already demonstrated that it deserves to be back in the discussion of technology companies that consistently deliver solid market beating performances. From an investment standpoint, the stock is trading at a multiple (14) that has not factored in the company's true future potential. Investors should consider adding Cisco at current levels ahead of earnings and continue to accumulate as its recent performances suggest that the stock will be trading at $30 in a relatively short period of time.

It's hard to use age as an excuse to being unfit after reading about this amazing 92-year old marathoner who just broke a world record!
This morning, I weighed in at 150 lbs. That was my goal when I joined SP a little over a year ago. What makes it particularly encouraging is the fact that I hit the *magic number* at the end of winter. In the past, winter has been my Achilles' heel, a time when I've regained lost weight.
(happy dance)
The support I receive on SP is a MAJOR factor in my success!
I've now reset my ticker to my ultimate goal of 128 lbs, an undreamed of number a couple years ago! I also want to focus on building more strength and better balance for when I go hiking.
I was discouraged this morning, after the fiasco that yesterday turned to be. Not enough steps, and way too much stressful eating. Then I read this blog, and it was just what I needed! Thought you'd enjoy it too. http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=4006216

In Plain Sight Review: Exit Strategyby Christine Orlando at . Comments
Almost every week of this season of In Plain Sight has left me saying the same thing. I am so going to miss this show. "Sacrificial Lam" was no exception.
This final season has been so achingly good that I'm mourning the character of Mary Shannon before she's even gone. Tonight she tracked her dying father while dealing with their history, not to mention the FBI trying to link her to her daddy's crimes. Nothing is ever easy for Mary.
James Shannon, if nothing else, proved to be complex and quite simple all at once. He hunted down the man who took his son's life and killed him. A bullet to the head got the job done without preamble. Then he moved on.
Next stop was Florida where in a heartbreaking scene he found Jinx. He apologized, said thank you and goodbye all in about 30 seconds. He definitely deserved the slap she delivered and so much more for all he put her through. The look on Jinx's face ran the gamut of emotions from anger, to love, to sheer shock that she was staring at this man who left her to raise their two young girls 30 years ago.
I hope she had the sense to call her sponsor after she got off the phone with Mary.
My only disappointment was that we haven't seen Brandi all season. I know she was just a baby when their father left but it would have been nice to have her be a part of this story. After four seasons of Mary, Jinx, and Brandi, the family just didn't feel complete without her.
As far as hunting down James Shannon went, the FBI agent's hatred of Mary became almost comical but as always I loved the way Stan handled it with both calm and derision as he did in this In Plain Sight quote…
Stan: I've got one of my best inspectors compromised. Maybe you could fake a little concern, for fun. | permalink
But I have to say I liked Mary's response even more…
Mary: Christ, Snidely, shouldn't you be out there tying some girl to the railroad tracks. | permalink
Yup, he just lacked the twirly mustache to make the act complete.
Despite the incredible stress of risking her career and hunting her own father, Mary's sarcasm never failed her and it's one of the many things I'm truly going to miss.
Every time Mary turned around, Marshall was there the way he's always been and it's a fact that can no longer be denied…by anyone.
I've grown to really like Abigail. She's sweet and funny and Marshall's right, she gets him. She gets his jokes and his literary references and they have fun. In many ways they're good together but they've both been ignoring the 800 lbs. gorilla in the room. It first lumbered into view last season when Marshall tackled Mary to the ground when the bullets started to fly leaving his girlfriend to fend for herself.
Yes, it was easy to justify. Mary was pregnant. Marshall was being chivalrous but the reality was that when life and death were on the line, his first instinct was to protect Mary. Abigail may have rationalized that moment but I highly doubt she's forgotten it.
And as Marshall left her standing alone at their own party to run to Mary's side once again, you could see her heart was breaking even as she told him everything was fine. The girl would be a fool to marry him with this giant, unspoken chasm between them because it will only get worse.
When the worst happened and the reality of her father's death came crashing down on her, it was Marshall who was there to hold Mary together, hold her up.
As much as it hurts me to say it, there's only one episode left on In Plain Sight. Where do you think Mary's story will end?
C. Orlando is a TV Fanatic Staff Writer. Follow her on Twitter.Tags: In Plain Sight, Reviews
It's October, months after the show ended, and I still watch my Amazon seasons of In Plain Sight. The wonderful dynamic between all these characters is not seen often, and I still miss Mary & Marshall. After losing In Plain Sight, without White Collar and Grey's Anatomy, I wouldn't have any favorite shows, so I guess I have those until they run their course. I get that Mary McCormack wanted to move on with her career, I am just sad when something is so good is gone forever. It's saying something when I am still thinking about my favorite show six months after it ended. So long gang, it was a great ride!
Great show just a shame they cast a 2nd rate actress with 3 facial expressions & a guy who insists on speaking with his lips closed . If only they'd cast quality actors a great show could've been fantastic .
I'm left wondering if there will be made-for-TV movies after she told Marshall not to say "farewell". I know she was saying it in the context of the episode, but was it also a sublte hint?
Does anyone ever wonder why network tv can't put on such fabulous shows as In Plain Sight, Burn Notice, Fairly Legal, Leverage, Suits, Franklin & Bash, Rizzoli & Isles, Necessary Riughness, Royal Pains, Covert Affairs & my favorite, White Collar. Beats Me????
I too will miss this wonderfful show, especially the interaction between Mary & Marshall. Will they get together in the last episode?. I doubt it, Marshall will proclaim his love for Mary & she as well but not in the same way. They are great partners but I really think Mary is too much woman for Marshall to handle in a love relationship with all of her life's past baggage. However it ends they will both ride off into the sunset as BFF. I will really miss this show and all it's characters, Stan, Jinx, Brandi & various others. Glad Stan hooked up. I hope maybe one day it will come back in another time frame. Farewell & Good Luck, Marshall & Mary. Now, will Castle & Beckett get together in season finale?? We shall see on Monday.
i'm kinda freaking out. I love this show esp. b/c it is quirky and possible. It would be so dumb to have a happy ending with Marshall and Mary. I like this show b/c it seems to show the flaws and all. I think it is clear that the 2 love each other but not in the same way. Mary is Marshall's work wife but that is all and he realizes that is all it will ever be. Even though he loves Abigal it doesn't make it any less painful for him when he is with Mary. I suspect the FBI guy gets Mary fired or relocated or something like that to end the series. I wish it wouldn't end. I actually cried during this last episode when Dad died.
I think someone said she gonna start on another show and it was starting early than 13 weeks.
Marshall is going to tell Mary he loves her and that he will do anything for her. But he is either stays single or gets to get together with Abigail. Because as much I want Mary and Marshall together it Just does not happen and that sucks!
They should have started getting them close earlier last year. I'm not happy
I'm not a fan of Mary and Marshall together. Partners, best friends, yes. I know Marshall has loved Mary, but I don't really see it from Mary. Not the kind of love that has a marriage until death do them part. I think Abigail is better for Marshall, but that does not seem the way they are going to go. I'm glad Brandi makes an appearance in the finale if that is true, she should be. I was glad to see Jinx. I'm not totally sure how they are going to end this. No matter what way they have chosen, I'm saddened by the end of the series. The characters and the actors who portrayed them were excellent.
I hats that this show is ending. I'be both dreaded and eagerly awaited each episode and now its almost done. It's almost done... I loved this episode. I loved the closure with her father. I do miss brandi being more relevant. The tension between Mary and the feds has me thinking she may be the one getting the boot from the offices. I'm not a fan of Abigail. Not because I'm a m&m shipper but because she's inexplicably annoying. It doesn't matter who comes into the picture. Every woman will be secondary to Mary. Its the nature of most law enforcement partnerships with that type of longevity. Their bond is so strong that it will always get in the way of thee relationships.

He knew exactly what he was doing...and he kept me up to date on the information. Alex never gave up on me, he pushed and pushed until my case was dropped. He saved my life. Thanks Alex!
I am a professional woman who was getting divorced and was at my maximum stress level. Leah was able to calmly explain to me everything I needed to know and what to expect every step of the way..The way Leah confidently stepped in as my lawyer and took control was so calming to me...my ex was a bully and she made sure that I got what I deserved.
Michael Tario is one of the hardest working lawyers I've ever met. I called over 10 lawyers in the Bellingham area and I immediately knew I was going to choose him to represent me.

When we went to the creditors meeting we watched the trouble with the other cases and ours went through without any trouble. We were very glad that Mr. Wolle was our attorney. We would recommend Tario & Associates to our friends & family.
My personal injury claim was handled in a very competent and professional manner. I hadn't planned on hiring an attorney but when the insurance company refused to work with me, I went to Tario & Associates. I would highly recommend them to any of my friends or relatives.
From the beginning Mr. Wolle listened to our family dilemma with attention and positive suggestions. He was warm and willing to handle our case the way we wanted to proceed.

America's Schools: Battleground for FreedomSubmitted by Jane Aitken on Sat, 02/16/2008 - 03:01
I was on WEMJ (local radio in NH and streaming on the web) this morning talking about this subject in relation to the UN's takeover of our public schools:
Here are two good books about how they are teaching Marxist principles and for world government and against our sovereignty and Constitutional government in our public schools, unabashedly:
Fed Ed: The New Federal Curriculum and How It's Enforced
America's Schools: Battleground for Freedom
I am editing this post for an update on 2/16/2008:
The first and longest segment was devoted to dealing with these "UN" influenced non-profits coming into our local town meetings to try to impose more state taxes on us by denouncing the anti-broadbased 'pledge' that candidates take, that originates from my group, CNHT.
The second segment was very short, so we only did an intro to this IB curriculum subject. But they will have me on again and I will be doing radio shows all over the state about this now I'm sure.
The reason they liked me was, they said I knew how to do radio, had a good voice (well yeah, I do have my own show on Thurs nites from which I've been on 'hiatus' but planning on going back) and they were thrilled to be hearing the information from a 35-year teacher who knows what the practical end of it means. One of my most startling revelations was that as a teacher in 1992, I was asked to sign a statement on my contract which read that I would fully support the teaching of 'world government'. They didn't even use the word 'citizenship' in place of government. I refused to sign it. And finally the other teachers, who were a-political, listened to me and found out what it all meant..
Here is the link for streaming during the 9-11AM ET show each Saturday. It should open in Real Player and they will archive today's show on their main site at Granite Grok:
American Schools-Freedom
I teach high school math in MA. with a student enrollment of 4000 plus and use every opportunity to put articles such as the ones you have referred to in your article before my classes. Most students find the "truth" interesting and are eager to discuss it. I am an avid Ron Paul supporter and know that I have influenced hundreds of students and co-workers who now follow Ron Paul's campaign. I have posted several times suggesting that educators have a wonderful opportunity "right in front of them" to influence the population about Ron Paul's message and the constitution. Talk about an effective and low cost way of spreading the truth!!
Ron Paul for president.
Get 'em Jane!!
Bush signed us back into UNESCO but ALL policies coming out of the Department of Education, and the developers of textbooks, follow UN guidelines!! Goals 2000,No Child Left Behind, Mastery Learning, Out Come Based Education, NEA (liberal teachers union),too many organizations(NGO's) to list who are behind this education for global citizens!! They engulf all facets of education, including "christian" schools because they must have "accredidation"! And most HS parents do not realize this.
I knew instinctively, even before being asked to sign that outrageous pledge that the UN had gotten control of our schools THROUGH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, which is why education issues need to be dealt with on a local level. In fact, I'm for getting the gov't out of the schools altogether. (Separation of School and State)
UNESCO has now taken it upon themselves to write an actual curriculum with an attractive sounding name to sell at great cost to gullible yuppies in wealthy towns. This curriculum's main purpose is to infuse the philosophy of the UN (global taxation, disarmament, no more nation states) into the childrens' minds from a very young age. (3) They blatantly state in their own documentation that it is a program intended to plant the seeds of world government, to replace our sovereign Republic under the US Constitution.
Any school board who is even THINKING of doing this, should be shown the door, in my opinion.

Which Show, Where?
Jane, do you know whether the radio program will be streamed online? Which station / time / etc.?
They don't teach the constitution in schools.....
I am a 41 year old male. I remember like it was yesterday, when I was in 3rd grade, my teacher read the preamble to the constitution. What made it so memorable was that she read it with tears in her eyes. It left a lasting impression on me. I didn't understand it at the time, but curiosity later in life led me to the constitution. I will never forget her for what she did for me-opened my eyes to what America was founded for. Even though my kids go to public school, they still study the constitution at home with me to get a real perspective on America.

International Pumping Day 2014 – Let's Celebrate!
Tomorrow (August 7th) is International Pumping Day. It marks the end of World Breastfeeding Week and recognizes the hard work and dedication of all moms out there feeding their babies breast milk by means of pumping.
Tomorrow, I want us all to celebrate the day, but also to raise awareness that although pumping is a different form of feeding babies breast milk, it still provides most (arguably all) of the benefits of breastfeeding. Now, I expect this statement to be disregarded, even challenged, by some; so, I'll take a moment to explain the logic behind the statement.
Let's take a look at the benefits of breastfeeding for a moment… (This list was taken from the BabyCenter article How Breastfeeding Benefits You and Your Baby)
- Breastfeeding protects your baby from a long list of illnesses
- Breastfeeding can protect your baby from developing allergies
- Breastfeeding may boost your child's intelligence
- Breastfeeding may protect your child from obesity
- Breastfeeding may lower your baby's risk of SIDS
- Breastfeeding can reduce your stress level and your risk of postpartum depression
- Breastfeeding may reduce your risk of some types of cancer
Now, replace the word "breastfeeding" with "breast milk" in the first 5 benefits, and revise 6 and 7 to read "breastfeeding/pumping breast milk"… it is hard to deny that the statements would all still be valid. So then, why is breastfeeding so much the focus, and not the act of providing breast milk to your child in any way that you can? What is the big difference?
Some would argue that breastfeeding provides a special bond between mother and child that other forms of feeding do not. Personally, I'm not convinced. When I first started breastfeeding, my son's latch was sufficient in that he was getting the milk he needed (he gained weight like a champ), but boy was it painful for me. I winced every single time he suckled from my breast, and I have to be honest, the pain made it impossible for me to enjoy the experience. When I started pumping, however, everything changed. Bottle feeding actually made me feel proud in a way that I know I didn't feel before, and watching my son gulp down the milk I had worked so hard to pump for him, while I gently rocked him, made me feel bonded to him like never before. (And let's not forget the wonderful moments of bonding my husband got to experience every time he bottle-fed our little bundle of joy).
Now, I'm not arguing that pumping is "better" than breastfeeding… I'm simply arguing that breastfeeding isn't necessarily better than pumping. In other words… the benefits are almost entirely (if not entirely) equal. So why not all come together (breastfeeding moms, and pumping moms alike), and celebrate our achievements as one giant community?!
So tomorrow, if you're a proud pumping momma, help spread the word and educate the lactation community. "Breast is Best" should be out, and "Breast MILK is Best" should be very much in!

Pumping Awards – Show your pumping pride!
Ever see fellow pumpers referencing pumping awards (or "boobie awards") in any of your pumping groups? Well, I have, and I absolutely LOVE the idea! So, I did a little digging (and by digging, I mean some serious Google-ing) and although I couldn't seem to find out where they originated, I did find a pretty thorough list of them.
Awesome! But wouldn't it be even cooler if you got an actual award?! I know, I would love one! So… I made some! Feel free to grab and use them to your heart's content :-)

(Check out my blog store for items you can purchase with these award graphics on them.)
Pumping Pie Chart
Pumping Door Signs
As a follow-up to my entry on Pumping at Work, I created some fun signs that you can use to deter people from entering your space mid-pump. (Unfortunately, I know from experience how unpleasant that can be.)
Feel free to save and print any of these signs… they're yours for the taking (and using)!
Amy Rhodes: It's the pump free life for me
My friend Amy has been there for me since the very beginning of my pumping journey. Not only did she start the very fb group I keep talking about, bringing together some of the most amazing moms I know, but she managed to stay an exclusively pumping mom for over 15 months! She is highly intelligent, has a wonderful sense of humor, and is a stay at home mom. Today, she will share her pumping journey with you… some of the emotional ups and downs she experienced… but most importantly, she will remind you that you are an amazing mom, no matter what your experience is or was.
So, without further ado… Amy Rhodes.
As pumping moms we spend our time dreaming of the day that we can pack up the annoying little machine that allows us to nourish our children. The day when we do not have to sit down every 3 hours in order to have our boobs tugged on for 30 minutes. We all know that it won't be easy, that we will mourn our childrens' loss of this extraordinary milk tailored just for them. However, I did not expect to mourn the loss of my pump, this obnoxious little thing that had become the rhythm of my role as a mother.
Shortly before my daughter was born, my husband and I decided that it would be best for me to stay home. Once she was here I was so busy adjusting to caring for this new little person and trying to breastfeed that I didn't even notice that I wasn't working anymore. Things were going well during the first week, my daughter was gaining weight and I was starting to get comfortable with my new role as a mom. Then my milk came in and nursing became increasingly painful, by 2 weeks old my daughter's jaundice was worse and she weighed less than she ever had before. I visited a lactation consultant and found that my daughter was not transferring any milk while nursing, and thus my pumping journey began. It ruled my life for those first 3 months, I was able to to increase my supply from 6 opd (ounces per day) to 28 opd! It became a part of our routine, every day I would spend a total of 7.5 hours prepping bottles, pumping, and washing all the parts. Once my hormones had settled and I began to feel like a normal human being again, I realized that I had no idea what I was doing and no one to talk to about it. So I decided to do something about it and created a Facebook group for pumping moms. I began reaching out to other pumpers in a forum I had joined while pregnant and this new community began to grow and take on a life of it's own. I was finding my place in this world as a stay at home mom that exclusively pumps. I felt important and I was very proud of myself for taking this incredibly difficult path and helping others who were doing the same, but eventually I hit a wall.
At 9 months postpartum I was ready to throw in the towel but I kept going, one pump at a time. I wouldn't let myself give up even though some of the women, who had become my friends, were in the process of ending their pumping journeys. I would just dream of hitting my 12 month goal and of having free time while I forced myself to hook up to this torture device once more time. When my daughter's first birthday finally came around I was surprised to find that I was not ready to stop. I was down to 4 pumps a day and producing 18 opd, which was still more than enough for my daughter. I decided to continue pumping until I just didn't feel like it anymore. When my daughter was 15 months old I knew that she was ready to move away from breast milk. I spent the next month slowly weaning and put my pump away for the last time on January 22, 2014. It was much easier on me emotionally than I was expecting. I did not feel that my daughter was missing out, or that I had failed her in some way by weaning. I was very proud of how far I had made it and that I would be able to continue providing her with frozen breastmilk for a couple more months.
My first few weeks of freedom were liberating, I had time to play outside, to cook and clean, and I could leave the house at any time. Then I found myself missing my life as a pumper, it was how I had always defined myself as a mother and I didn't know who I was with out it. My friends are all out doing amazing things, one is in the last year of her Masters program for physics, another one just landed her dream job as a paid artist while pregnant with her first child, and here I am spending all day alone with a toddler while my husband works 2 jobs to support us. I know that being a SAHM is an amazing thing and there is nothing more important than molding my child into a caring, responsible, and intelligent human being… But I still feel that I am failing society and failing my husband by devoting my time to this tiny, but demanding, little person. When I was pumping I was doing something amazing, something that few woman are successful at, something that I could be proud of, and now I feel like I am unworthy of admiration. Deep down I know that it is utterly ridiculous to feel this way but I still hear a little voice saying I'm not good enough. My mother tried to raise me to believe that a woman's place is at home taking care of her family and that there is no greater purpose in this world. My husband tells me that I have no reason to apologize for not contributing financially because I am raising and molding our daughter into the amazing person she's destined to become. My friends love hearing about my day, my daughter's new words, or how silly she is. They brag about their amazing "niece" and what a great job I'm doing to their family and friends. I am lucky to be surrounded by some incredible people, both in "real" life and online, who remind me that I'm still special and I am making a difference in the world, just one tiny person at a time.
I have always struggled with self worth issues and it will never go away. I just try to take things one day at a time and surround myself with those who choose to left people up. When I look back at my daughter's first year and I go through the old photos and videos, I will hear the annoying but constant hum of the pump and remember that I made a great sacrifice for my daughter and that I should be proud of the woman it helped me become. So when your turn to pack away your pump finally comes, just remember you are a strong and dedicated mother that deserves respect and admiration from others, and more importantly from yourself.
Medela Freestyle Breastpump – Caring for, and using your pump
(For tips on using the PISA, see Medela Pump in Style Advanced – Caring for, and using your pump)
Fellow mommy blogger (and long-time pumper) Amanda, has graciously offered to write a post on caring for, and using your Freestyle Breastpump. Thank you Amanda! I know this will come in handy for many pumping mommas!
- Connectors and Valve – The Freestyle has a two breast shield connectors, two membranes and two back caps. The membranes need to be replaced on a fairly regular basis – if your pump suddenly stops working effectively on one side, this is the likely culprit. (Since the membranes are not sold separately, when you replace them, you will end up replacing the connectors as well.) The pump also does not work very well when the pump parts are wet from being washed. The best way that I've found to work around this is to buy multiple sets of pump parts so that you always have a dry set when you need it.
- Let-down button – This button controls whether you are in the let-down/stimulation mode or normal pumping mode. The Freestyle automatically starts in let-down mode and switches after two minutes. You can switch it back with this button if you haven't let-down yet, or if you want to try to get another let-down later in the pumping session.
- On-Off Button – This is pretty self-explanatory (you push the button to turn it on), but one warning about the on/off button, is that sometimes it turns on too easily. There's nothing more awkward than bumping your pump bag on the way into the elevator and having it turn on, loudly. (It's especially fun if the elevator is full of your co-workers!) One way that I've learned to avoid this is to wrap the pump in the nursing cover that I keep in my pump bag. This provides some cushion for the pump so that it doesn't turn itself on in transit.
- Breast Shields – The breast shields are held in place against your breasts by you or (preferably) a hands-free bra, and are attached to the breast shield connectors. As Nicole mentioned in her post on the PISA, it's important to make sure that you have correctly sized breast shields.
- Speed/Vacuum Adjustment – The plus and minus signs are used to control the speed of the pump. The lowest speed is 1, and it goes up to 9. The "best speed" to set the pump isn't necessarily the highest speed – it's the highest speed where you still feel comfortable. Putting it on too high will be painful and could damage your nipples.
- Pump Timer – The pump timer starts when you push the on button, and it is one of my favorite features of the Freestyle, since it keeps me honest for pumping as long as I am supposed to. The timer screen also allows you to see what speed your pump is set to (you can see it on the side of the timer or by pushing the plus or minus signs to change the speed).
- Tubing – The tubing for the Freestyle plugs into the pump in one place, and then splits into a Y shape for the two connectors. If you'd like to only pump one side, plug the connector tubing that you're not using back into the Y split. If milk gets into the tubing, it should be washed in warm soapy water and then hung to air dry.
- A/C Adapter – The Freestyle's rechargeable battery lasts for about 3 hours of pumping time. You can use the adapter to charge the battery either while you pump or in between pumping sessions.
- Cooler – The cooler pack comes with a freezer ice pack and four bottles and caps. If you fly with the freezer pack in your carry on, it needs to be frozen solid.
- Hands-free Accessory Kit – To use the hands-free accessory kit, you need to be wearing a top-flap nursing bra. The way it works is that you attach the hands-free strap to the connectors and then to your bra using the adapters. Personally, I found the hands-free kit too difficult to navigate in my sleep-deprived state and opted to use Easy Expressions pumping bra instead, which gives you the same freedom of movement with less hassle getting hooked up.
Amanda has two kids (3 and 16 months) and has spent 27 months of her life hooking herself up to breast pumps (mostly the Freestyle). She exclusively pumped for her son and writes about it at exclusivepumping.com.

Weaning from the pump
"How should I wean?"
This is probably the second most popular question I have seen in pumping forums. Why? Well, we all have to wean eventually. Right?
Ok, so I'm going to do my best to speak to this question. I've read various articles on the three different ways to wean… but many of them don't really go into great detail about each approach, other than to explain how each one works.
Here are the three approaches to weaning from the pump. You can…
- Drop one pumping session at a time
- Gradually decrease pumping time for each pumping session
- Gradually increase the length of time in between pumps
You can also combine some of the above approaches. (Click on the following link… Weaning from the pump… to read more about how each approach works.)
Here's the thing. Every body will respond differently to each approach. For that reason, it is a good idea to decide on your approach based on how your body has responded in the past. (Most of us have accidentally slept through a pump, or have had no choice but to postpone a pump by an hour or two, or have had to shorten a pump session because of unavoidable time constraints).
Now, I won't go into great detail on all three approaches because I only have personal experience with one of them. (This is a good time to mention that what I am about to write is all experiential… I am not a medical professional. If you would like medical advice, you should speak to a certified lactation consultant.) That being said, I will explain my reasons for choosing the approach that I did. I am hoping to have guest bloggers talk about their experiences with the other two approaches in upcoming entries.
So, which approach did I choose? Option number three (gradually increasing the length of time in between pumps). I did this for various reasons.
- I was worried about clogs/mastitis. In my 10 months of pumping, I only got clogs once (multiple clogs, but one unfortunate event), and mastitis once (thank heavens it was only once, that was one nasty infection with some pretty intense symptoms). I feel strongly that I was able to avoid getting them multiple times because everything I did in relation to the timing of my pumps was gradual. I didn't ever "shock" my body by making a really dramatic change quickly (except for two unavoidable instances that inevitably led to the aforementioned clogs/mastitis).
- I wasn't in a rush. At first, I wanted to slow down to the point where I was producing just enough for Jimmy to consume in one day, but not more, because my deep freezer was out of space. So, I started spreading my pumps out evenly, to drop down from 6 to 5, and then from 5 to 4. Eventually, I realized that I could wean completely, and Jimmy would have frozen milk until he turned one… but I no longer felt an intense desire to quit pumping (pumping 4 times a day was actually pretty doable for me at the time). So, I spread my pumps out even more to drop from 4 to 3, and then from 3 to 2. It wasn't until I was faced with an impending move that I realized I would be better off weaning completely, rather than pumping through it (the stress of the move was mounting as it was!). That's why I eventually spread my pumps out even further to drop from 2 to 1, and then to just stop pumping completely.
- I liked the control. I was worried how my body would react to shortened pump sessions. My breasts had been very consistent with how much milk they were able to hold. I felt very confident in how my body would respond to a dropped pump by gradually spreading them out. Obviously, I couldn't know with absolute certainty what my body would do, and a part of me was worried nonetheless… however, it was very rare that my body surprised me and did something other than what I expected. I really liked knowing that I could rely on it to do what I expected.
- The discomfort was minimal. Dropping pumps gradually meant my body had time to adjust accordingly. With the exception of the two instances I mentioned above, I had very minimal discomfort throughout the weaning process, and don't remember ever feeling "engorged".
Ok, so how did I do it exactly? What specific steps did I take?
Well, at first (when dropping from 6 to 5, and 5 to 4), I simply stretched the time in between pumps out by 15 minutes at a time, until I was down to my goal number of pumps per day. I actually stayed at 4 pumps for quite a while (probably around 2 months). Once I was down to 4 pumps and ready to drop another, I realized that I was able to spread my pumps out a bit more aggressively, with little consequence. So, I started stretching my pumps out by an hour at a time. By the time I was down to 2 pumps a day (which I stayed at for some time as well), and ready to wean completely, I was able to stretch them out by several hours at a time. At that point, my body must have realized that I wanted it to stop producing milk… because sure enough, within a week or two, that's what it did.
If you are curious to see actual numbers, I will be posting a graph of my weaning process in an upcoming entry. Glad I was so diligent at keeping up with my trusty spreadsheet :-)

Unlike most great stories in bars and at parties, this idea really had to be followed up and that happened. Many students waiting for a home in the densely developed urban area of Amsterdam, hardly any location available for cheap student homes, let alone homes that are mobile, relocatable and yet meet all modern standards for comfort and safety.

Downtown Christchurch New Zealand started doing this soon after the big earthquake as a way to keep businesses alive. Now it has become all super-hipster/trendy. Still very cool though.

If there is one thing Detroit needs, it is more housing.

Housing projects in Detroit... yeah, okay. #1, there's more houses than people. #2, Detroit just imploded some projects because they were fail in spite of some really famous past residents. #3, housing projects in Detroit?!! Are you farking kidding me?
/I'm sure the city overpaid for them, and someone will run off to Jamaica with the rest of the funds that were supposed to go into the project... then, it'll be a giant clusterfark that will cost Detroit a shiatload of money to settle.

Sadly, many unoccupied dwellings get stripped for their metal content. Some houses were abused by their occupants. Some have mold. Some got rained on on the inside.

It'd quite ironic for some illegal immigrant to end up living in the container they were shipped here in.

A: this is the country where we gave storm victims free residential trailers and they sued us. Whatever those containers were used for at any time in the past, there is a liability trail, a lawyer will exploit it the instant someone gets sick.

Who else remembers seeing the performers who are able to stack plates on sticks and keep every single plate spinning without dropping even one?
After this past month, that is exactly what I have had to do...keep all my plates spinning. Huh?
I have felt overwhelmed to the point that I was not able to keep up with my own health and fitness program that I usually like to follow. Oh boy, time to take my own advice, again. I took care of top priority items while letting the other "plates" slow down. When the lower priority "plates" were just about ready to stop spinning and fall off the sticks, it was time to give them a good spin to keep them from falling.
Whew, my deadlines are met, my family is taken care of, my chores are caught up and I am still feeling healthy and fit. How did I do it? I kept up with a fitness program by doing a little bit every day, even when there was no time left. How? Even ten minutes here and there adds up to 30 minutes by the end of the day...how NEAT is that?
Bottom line...keep working towards your goal whether it be an all out effort, one hour per day, or just ten minutes a day...it is better than zero minutes a day. So, please, strive to do your best and enjoy the moment you're in, which will never return.
Clients often ask me if I do the same things I suggest to them, whether it be a lifestyle decision, strength move or stretch.
The answer is...yes.
About keeping a food journal...absolutely, positively, yes; I keep track of what I eat. It has been proven over and over again, over many, many years, that food journaling equals diet success long term. Who wouldn't like that?
Believe it or not, I am human. I have a family, pets, career, hobbies, etc., just like everyone else. There is only one difference, I made a perpetual diet / food log for myself which is compact enough to be discreet and much easier to use than a tablet and pen. I chart my progress, which lets me know what I am lacking, before the end of the day, to give me enough time to make up the difference with smart corrections.
Guess what I discovered? I naturally prefer water, fruit, grains and dairy, in that order. Now what? I am aware of this, so, I will reach for one less fruit, opting for the vegetable serving. Add to that a green leaf and a healthy protein like chicken and I am doing better. I feel lighter with more energy and ambition; you're welcome Jake and Rufus (woman's best friends who love their walks) and Vivi (woman's other best friend who loves attention).
This item works so well for me, that I make one for each client...most choose to journal their food intake this way for personal diet success.
Okay, time to go...take care of my best friends who are waiting oh so patiently.
Until next time, good luck with your journals.
It is time to ditch the electronics...now.
Before you get concerned, please let me clarify that it is for only one hour each day. What will you do with that time? How about paying attention to your surroundings: friends, pets, children, coworkers, wildlife, sad to mention driving (let it wait while driving), workout buddy, nature, mealtime, etc.
If you could put your concentration fully into your exercise program for only one hour a day, you would reap the benefits of a better workout, emotionally as well as physically. The others in your group class will also thank you for not disturbing their workout, either. Think about how much more relaxed and energized you will be. Better yet, don't think, rather, go and do it. Like NIKE says...Just Do It.
Therefore, please make this the month that you get into the good habit of ditching your electronic devices for one hour daily...which will greatly benefit you as well as your social circle and work environment.
I have to remind myself sometimes to slow down when the weather warms up and the days are pleasingly longer. I will tend to overdo it outdoors while losing track of time, only to come in past dark when it is bedtime and still not have had dinner. Oh boy, now what.
Slow down until I am acclimated to the heat. The mosquitoes and gnats help in that department with all the stopping to smack and swat away.
Have a container of water at the ready, to drink and splash on myself.
Wear a wide brimmed hat to keep the harsh sunlight off the face and out of the eyes.
Now, about those late dinners...each finger is worth fifteen minutes. To prevent getting indoors too late for the last meal of the day, I raise my hand to "measure" how much time it is to sunset. Place the hand by stacking the fingers, between the sun and the horizon, without looking at the sun, to see how many finger widths it is until sunset. Each finger width is about fifteen minutes worth of time. I am usually within ten minutes of sunset, to my husband's delighted surprise.
Now, just to remember the sunset times which are still increasing.
"Toughen up and walk it off"...how many times have we heard that one?
There is truth to that, more now, than ever before. Walking is proven, over and over again, to improve prostate, diabetes, obesity and the uncomfortable affects of these conditions, to name a few.
Now that we are entering the warmer, longer, encouraging days of spring, for those of us in the changing seasons areas, try going outdoors to walk it off. I do not mean the extra pounds you may or may not have; rather, the unhealthy conditions that come from being sedentary.
Therefore, all of us should be doing what are bodies allow us to do, in the great outdoors, while taking in all the sights, sounds and smells for that wonderful destressing effect. All it takes is a half hour a day, on most days of the week.
Okay then, will you please be able to go toughen up and walk it off; using common sense, of course? If not walk, then whatever else you are able to do.
Do you want to eat healthy; but, it is too much work that eats up precious time?
Then take the easy way out, which is usually not healthy. Now what do we do?
Both; you can still choose healthy while enjoying convenience. Please, do not skip the produce section of the grocery store. It is very simple to clean and chop fresh fruits and vegetables. Once that is done, you will see how much food there is to serve.
If that is still too time consuming and labor intensive, then choose the platters that are already made up and delicious. The salad bars also have a wonderful variety to choose from. Take out that is healthy and easy, may be pricey; but, someone had to do the work.
So, depending on your priorities and daily surprises, I hope you are able to enjoy a healthy and easy menu.
...is no diet; it depends on your definition of the word, diet, of course. In this sense, diet means a short term eating plan with short term results to match.
The perfect diet is the one that includes all the food groups in proper amounts to effectively nourish the body with all the essential nutrients. This will be different for each person according to their stage of life, energy requirements and eating styles.
So, spend your time and money wisely, on healthy whole foods. To take it a step further, think about seeing a registered dietitian for your individual needs. The information you gain will be priceless, as this is knowledge you will have for your best health possible.
Yes, you are most certainly allowed to have a treat...just do not make a meal of it. Please remember that this is not deprivation; rather, a part of your healthy lifestyle to suit your taste.
Therefore, the best or perfect diet is a healthy way of eating that can be done for the rest of your life.
Have you made a new year's resolution? To be honest, I do not; because, every single day is the time to do something.
Back in the day when I did try the resolution thing, I would overwhelm myself with many new ideas, only to fall off the wagon. Later, what worked, was when I stuck to one goal and gave it my all.
So, to all of you who are frustrated or trying very hard, maybe you should prioritize; pick one goal to work towards. For those of you who are achieving your goal, keep up the great work.
We all have slips; but, I like to see it as time off or a well deserved treat.
Therefore, no stressing over resolutions just may be the trick.
Has anyone else heard about spiking food nutrients by using a blender? How is that possible? Do I want the nutrients in the blender or in my body for optimum performance?
I will continue chewing my food to keep all the nutrients as fuel for my daily activities. Therefore, for anyone else who wants to turn their food into superfood, and do not have a digestion condition to deal with,... chew, chew, chew, and chew some more to pulverize the meal for the most nutritional value.
The blender is fun and used for treats now and then; but, it is easier for me to chew; not to mention, I am working muscles.

Mr. Bouch loved hunting, fishing and practical jokes.
Kadence "Kadie" Louise Stonebraker, 4, Decker's Point, died Saturday, Aug. 13, 2011, at her home surrounded by her family.
The daughter of Jacob P. and Sarah L. (Yeomans) Stonebraker, she was born March 14, 2007, in Indiana.
Kadie greatly enjoyed attending Junior Church at the Bible Baptist Church located near Clymer.
She loved playing with little puppies and her kitty, Fluffy. Kadie liked spending time outside taking Ranger rides; swimming in the pool; jumping on the trampoline; having family cookouts; and watching fireworks.
James S. "Jim" Trunzo, 70, died peacefully at home surrounded by family July 2, 2011.Â
He was born July 22, 1940, in Punxsutawney, a son of the late Francis J. Trunzo, MD, and Catherine (Kernan) Trunzo of Punxsutawney.
He was married to Jerry Frances (Carter) Trunzo, who survives.
Mr. Trunzo was a decorated veteran of the Vietnam War.Â
He served his country with the U.S.N. Mobile Construction Battalion, MCB-7 (the Seabees), from 1962 to 1967.Â
Editor's Note: Sources close to Kadie Stonebraker's family reported that Kadie passed away earlier this morning, Saturday, Aug. 13.
MARION CENTER — She has a guitar pick and a bracelet from her idol — not to mention a dress just like the one in the music video, but this week, some of the pieces of the puzzle finally came together for four-year-old Kadie Stonebraker.
BROOKVILLE — The following is a statement issued by the Jefferson County Department of Emergency Services, following the arrest of now-former Big Run firefighter Anthony Overbeck, 18, Big Run, on arson and related charges pertaining to an Aug. 9 fire along Pennsylvania Avenue in Big Run:
While most people in the Big Run area feel relieved with the recent arrest in the string of arsons, one group of individuals struggles to figure out why this happened.
This group, charged with saving lives and property, is the Big Run Area Volunteeer Fire Company.
Baseball is a game of slumps and streaks, and unfortunately for hometown catcher and Cincinnati Reds prospect Devin Mesoraco, the past week has been of the slump variety.
Mesoraco played in six games this week and managed just two hits in 19 at-bats.
Both the hits were home runs, though, including one against the Pittsburgh Pirates AAA-affiliate Indianapolis Indians Friday. The other came in Wednesday's game against the Toledo Mudhens.
But even with his instant offense, Mesoraco's Bats fell short in both games.
William Alvin Motter, 80, passed away, Saturday, July 30, 2011, at his residence in Tifton, Ga., after a lengthy illness.
He was born March 21, 1931, in Punxsutawney, a son of the late Beulah Claire Fireman and Fredrick Charles Motter.
Mr. Motter was a veteran of the U.S. Navy, where he learned his electronics trade. He later joined IBM machines and was one of the technicians who worked on electronics for the early Apollo missions.
With former Punxsu-tawney Area High School catcher Devin Mesoraco possibly days away from a trip to the Majors, another former Punxsy player's journey to the pros is just beginning.
While Mesoraco bypassed college and started playing Minor League Baseball immediately, Gillung went on to pitch four seasons at Mercyhurst College, where he put up some impressive numbers.
The 10-and-under Punxsy Purranhas, who won last weekend's Groundhog Little League softball tournament, were also crowned champs of the 10U division at the Homer City tournament July 29-31. Pictured with their championship trophies are: (front from left) Ella White, Kaitlin Doverspike, Kate Horner, Mia Lingenfelter, Elyse White, Laney Monroe; (middle) Chelsea Snyder, Toya Jones, Lakyn Smith, Cassidy Reed; (back) Jazzmine Hadden, Kylee Shoemaker and Grace Aikens.
Neal: Charges are not an indictment of firefighters
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Thursday, state police formally announced charges against a teenage member of the Big Run Area Volunteer Fire Company stemming from an Aug. 9 fire in Big Run, and said he has also been implicated in several other fires dating back to 2010.
Officials from PSP-Punxsutawney and the district attorney noted, however, that charges filed against Anthony M. Overbeck, 18, Big Run, are not an indictment of other firefighters.

In addition, the "national" scope of NIBIN—like the scope of a national reference ballistic image database (RBID)—suggests an ease in requesting a search against the entire nation that is not the case under the current NIBIN search. "To perform a national search, the requestor must repeat the regional search for each NIBIN region"—12 separate searches—"as the system will not search all regions at once" (U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Inspector General, 2005:110).
About 25 of the NIBIN installations may be considered satellite sites in that they possess only one or more Rapid Brass Identification (RBI) units, portable units for acquiring images from cartridge evidence. These RBI units must be connected with another site's full Remote Data Acquisition Station (RDAS) in order to transmit collected images to the regional server; "afterwards, the results are transmitted back through the RDAS unit to the RBI unit" (U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Inspector General, 2005:10). Some departments have experienced major problems with RBI units, including overheating and data transmission flaws; notably, the (non-NIBIN) Maryland RBID program ultimately returned the RBI it planned to use to permit the Baltimore Police Department to directly submit database entries after continued problems (Maryland State Police Forensic Sciences Division, 2003, 2004).
NIBIN sites are meant to provide regional access to ballistic imaging technology, and so individual law enforcement agencies within a region may partner with a NIBIN site to enter evidence as needed. Individual agencies in states with only one NIBIN installation (e.g., Iowa, Montana, and Wyoming) may route evidence through that site as they see fit. Several states have NIBIN sites at regional laboratories maintained by state police, which may be used by individual city departments, e.g., Virginia's distribution of NIBIN equipment in three regional state labs. Even some major city police departments do not have their own NIBIN sites and work through state or county NIBIN sites, such as Chicago, Atlanta, Milwaukee, Memphis, and Seattle.
Prominent among the law enforcement agencies that are not NIBIN participants is the New York City Police Department (NYPD). While NYPD does follow NIBIN program protocols for the entry of ballistics evidence, the department purchased and maintains its own IBIS equipment; it has not linked directly to NIBIN due to the desire to maintain the integrity of its own database (McCarthy, 2004). However, NIBIN and NYPD continue to work on limited ties between the two databases (e.g., mounting archive data tapes off-site from NYPD for comparison under NIBIN).
ATF maintains tight control on the content of the NIBIN database, limiting it only to pieces of evidence recovered at crime scenes or test fired from weapons recovered by the police. This prohibition on the entry of

No beach? No problem. Surfers in Germany are taking advantage of high water levels in the cities rivers.
River surfing began in Munich about 30 years ago. The practice has become increasingly popular as professional surfers flock to Germany for a go at the waves.
"It's very important for guys who love surfing because the sea is very far away," German surf shop owner Ronaldo Friesen said. "And so they have kind of a... chance to surf during the weeks, or all day."
"You can ride the wave for ages and ages," surfer Yoyo Terhorst added. "And it's still challenging because you can always learn new stuff, and there are always guys coming up with new stuff."
This year, surfers have paralyzing snow storms in Germany to thank for the high water levels throughout the country.

Around the league - Oct 29 2009
Jason Gregor
October 29 2009 09:56AM
We near the end of the first month of the season, and there are many great story lines on the ice. The Avalanche are still cruising, Alexander Ovechkin is still scoring, Anze Kopitar and the Los Angeles Kings are making waves on the west coast, there is still a double-standard for suspensions, the defending champs look dominant, even though Crosby isn't top-ten in scoring and now teams are starting to sniff around for possible trades.

On This Day Over The Past Three Years
Jonathan Willis
October 26 2009 11:42AM
It's early. Still, teams that get off to strong starts can protect themselves against injuries and late season slumps, while teams getting off to weak starts can dig themselves a hole that's extremely difficult to climb out of. Are there examples of teams leading the league or dwelling in the basement at this point turning their seasons around? Let's look back over the past three years.

We're in that tweener stage of a new season.
It's late enough that the TV-sports dullards have stopped making those "Joe Left-wing is on pace for a 246-goal season" comments but not yet far enough along in the campaign to stop questioning such phenomena as whether a coaching change is really all that was needed for Dustin Penner to release his inner Mario Lemieux.

Just an update on my edits, I'm doing a large editorial pass over the dsig-2.0 spec while I make these larger changes; there are a lot of inconsistencies and some section numbering that's off, so it's taking a while. I hope to have it done by next week. As an aside, these hardcoded section numbers in references are obviously a problem for maintenance. Is there some way with this format to reference sections by their ID? -- ScottReceived on Friday, 3 December 2010 17:10:34 GMT

Hillary Hellmann discusses life and work at the Department of Defense before coming to law school.
Although only a few months removed from my undergraduate experience, I feel as though I am already a world away. Beginning law school has been such a whirlwind, but I am loving every minute of it and I cannot wait to see what the future brings. No matter what, though, I will never forget the inspiration that convinced me to attend law school more than a decade ago.
3L Rachael Hughes shares her summer externship experience at the Federal Election Commission.
I have been very fortunate to be an extern at the Federal Election Commission this summer. Working there has been a dream of mine because I have always had an interest in campaign finance and I even wrote my law review article on the topic. I am also happy to say that my experience has far exceeded any expectations I had before coming here.
3L Videlinata Krishna tells us about her summer as an intern for the office of the prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia located in the Hague, Netherlands.
