Storing Your Liquid Gold
Someday I will write a post detailing all the wonderful things about breastfeeding… but this my friends is not it. I could also use this post to tell you things you already know, like "it's the best thing you can do for your baby", "it helps you lose weight quick", and "it's very convenient"… but again you already know that stuff. So instead, I want to share my breastfeeding journey with you, which has been the hardest yet most rewarding experience of my life. There were countless towel throw-ins, tears and late night pump cleanings… but I'm now so very proud to tell you that I stuck with it and turned my underweight baby to a 10 week old baby who is completely off the growth charts for height and weight!
So my nursing troubles started at birth. Although Dylan initially latched beautifully, he developed Jaundice which caused him to sleep… A LOT. And there's a lot to love about a super sleepy baby, but unfortunately they don't eat a lot. It also didn't help that he was put in the NICU for a day and given formula… so when we finally got home from the hospital 5 days later and his appetite started to increase, he got pissed when his milk machines were not giving him the goods. I mean, who wouldn't be… right! Then the next day at his first dr. appointment, the worst happened… he hadn't regained his birth weight and his doc gave us the option of starting formula or going to a lactation consultant to assess the situation. So off we went to whip out and talk about my boobs with a few more people (vanity is sooo out the window at this point). My LC's recommendation was probably the suckiest (pun intended!) moment of my experience – since he didn't transfer enough milk, she suggested that I nurse, pump and then supplement with at least 1 oz of pumped milk or formula. And yes, I did this for every feeding for 4 straight weeks = My. Personal. Hell.
So although this totally, 100% sucked…. it's also really worked. Although the first week I was only able to express 1/2 an ounce after a feeding, that quickly increased and by 3 weeks I was pumping almost 2 oz and Dylan was quickly gaining weight. Aside from pumping, I also took Fenugreek to increase my milk supply for a few weeks but had to stop as I just couldn't stand smelling like the waffle house. At our 4 week LC weight check-in, my LC happily told us that we had graduated and against her recommendation, I then completely stopped pumping. She suggested that I wean off the pump, but I was soooo sick of pumping and Dylan was eating every 2 hours so I desperately needed the break. Big Mistake. Within a few days, I developed a low grade fever and lump in my breast. Yep… that's a sure sign of a clogged duct and a day or so away from Mastitis. Luckily I was aware of the symptoms and caught it fast. Although it was painful, I made Dylan nurse extra on the breast with the clogged duct and within a few days it cleared.
Needless to say, back to the pump I went! But only twice a day and now happily once a day. Since Dylan is transferring plenty (at 2 months he weighed 13 lbs!), I've been building a pretty nice supply of the liquid gold, and boy am I proud of that stuff when I open my freezer and see my stock pile! So after gathering tons of different ideas for how to store and organize my supply, I found the coolest idea from Roni at GreenLiteBites.com… and of course I had to copy it. What I love about her method is that it ensures you use your oldest milk first by dispensing it in the correct order.
- Here's whatcha need:
- - A small gift bag
- - Scissors
- - Tape (to reinforce opening)
- - Milk storage bags
Simply cut a hole in the bag on one of it's sides, making sure the opening is wide enough for your storage bags.
Store your oldest milk at the bottom and simply stack on your newer milk. Before placing the milk in the bag, I make sure it's labeled with the date and volume. I also only store a 3-4 oz bottle worth of milk per bag.
I usually have a little treat sitting next to my bags, because after all, nursing allows us a few extra calories a day
- Oh and here are the LLLi guidelines I follow for storing breastmilk:
- - At room temperature (66-78°F, 19-26°C): for 4 hours (ideal), up to 6 hours (acceptable)
- - In a refrigerator (<39°F, <4°C): for 72 hours (ideal), up to 8 days
- - In a freezer (-0.4 to -4°F, -18 to -20°C): for 6 months (ideal) up to 12 months (acceptable)
Happy pumping!
No Junk in this Trunk
By now you know that I love me some organized spaces. Something about everything having its own home and dedicated space just makes me ocd-giddy. But it's not just about putting all your junk in a bin… it's about strategically putting what you need, where you need it, and if it happens to be in fabulous bin, well then that's just a double whammy!
And trust me, having what you need, where you need it, can absolutely help de-stress your life. There is nothing more stressful than a screaming baby in your backseat who decided to decorate his carseat with his poop. Oh wait.. there is something more stressful… it's realizing that you don't have any more diapers or wipes in your diaper bag to clean it up. Yeah, that would be my first and nowhere near my last total parenting fail. But ya live and ya learn… and then you stock pile your car with your mom tools. And immediately after this poopisode, I did just that and struck gold with this Laura Ashley Trunk Organizer that I found on Zulily for $15 bucks, although you can also get it via Amazon for $25.
So for my swagger-wagon, I decided that extra diapers and wipes were a must! I also like to tote around some extra paper towels, tissues, hand sanitizer, stroller blanket and flashlight. I also seem to be hording reusable grocery bags, so I thought this would also be a good home for them as well. Ewww, so I saw a stat last week that said 80% of peeps don't clean their bags.. and grosso me being part of that stat, had to immediately wash them. Do it people… leaky chicken juice is straight up nasty.
So here's the bin all loaded up, with room to spare! I think I'm totally preparing for the stinky, sticky toddler I'm soon to have
My favorite part is the Velcro on the bottom of the bin. Even with my crazy driving, this bad boy is staying put!
My favorites: Infant Stuff
If I had a nickel for everything I didn't know about babies, I'd be one rich lady. Before Dylan, I had literally been around one baby – my precious niece, Kaitlyn. So when it came time to register for and buy baby stuff, I was pretty clueless. Needless to say, we got and bought a ton of stuff… some we're loving and can't live without and some we've turned into dog toys. I wish I could make you one of those awesome Target back to school commercials detailing this list, que the "backpackkkkkks!" but I'm just not that cool, so here's my "Love it" and "Gotta have it" list of infant stuff. The Gotta have it list are seriously things I couldn't live without now.
Oh and please take this post for what it is – just one new mama's (with limited baby exposure!) favorite baby stuff! I'm by no means a baby expert, I just know what makes me and my 8 week old baby boy happy!
Soft, light and super versatile! I typically use these for swaddling and cuddling, but I've also used as a nursing cover and even a burp cloth from time to time. I've even found myself sleeping with these… without Dylan!
Chicco KeyFit 30 Cortina Travel System
Love everything about this car seat and it's super easy to install / get in and out of the car.
The stroller is also super nice and such a smooth ride. My only complaint here is storage… I can barely fit my diaper bag underneath sometimes, but I carry a ton of stuff around with me!
Fisher Price Deluxe Musical Mobile Gym
Dylan LOVES this. We spend about 30 minutes everyday playing on it and he coos and smiles the entire time. We also do our Tummy Time on it because the mat is so soft.
Fisher Price Infant Toddler Rocker
This chair has been a lifesaver during dinner time and when I'm getting ready. It vibrates and keeps him entertained when I can't hold him. I also love that it's super light and I can tote it around the house with me.
This is seriously cool. It attaches to the crib and plays soothing music, while little fish swim by. It also has a timer and remote so I can restart the music without coming into the room. Playing music from this toy is now part of our bedtime routine!
Boppy Infant Feeding and Support Pillow
I didn't love this at first and still don't think it's as good as the BreastFriend pillow that I used while at the lactation consultant but it's still a great pillow for nursing. I also love to prop Dylan up on it when we play or sit on the couch together.
Ergo Baby Original Carrier
I tried the Bjorn, the Boba and the Peanut Shell sling and although I like several things about each one, I LOVE the Ergo Baby carrier. It's the most comfortable and feels the most secure. It's also magical, as it literally puts Dylan to sleep in 2 minutes flat.
Month Stickers
I think these are such a cute way to capture your little one growing! There are tons of these on Etsy but this would also be a great DIY project! -
The Miracle Blanket This is the one product that actually changed my life. It took Dylan from 2 hour sleep sprints to 5… instantly! I initially thought he didn't like to be swaddled because he could get out of every blanket and SwaddleMe swaddle… but he cannot get out of this one! It's also super easy to change his diaper in, as you don't have to undo the arm swaddle to pull his legs out.
Fisher-Price Newborn Rock N Play Sleeper
Instead of a bassinet, we used this guy and Dylan loves it! He spits up a good amount, so this has been perfect at keeping him at an incline while he sleeps. It's also super portable and lightweight. I've spent full nights rocking this sucker… I think I can do it in my sleep now!
Fisher-Price Cradle Swing – My Little Snug-a-Bunny
This is another Dylan favorite and basically his seat in our living room when we're not holding him. What's great about this is that it plugs into the wall (so no batteries!) and it has a great sound machine. I switch between the white noise and the lullaby. Jer and I joke that we now hear the lullabies from this even when it's not playing. I even start humming them randomly.
Medela Easy Expression Bustier
What a LIFE SAVER this has been. So I'm working on another post about my breastfeeding drama/journey, but basically I was nursing AND pumping 8 times a day and having my hands free for the pumping part was so very helpful. If you plan to pump, this is a MUST!
Gas Drops Watching Dylan fight gas pains is probably worse on me than the actual gas is on him. These gas drops are amazballs…. nuff' said.
Motorola MBP36 Remote Wireless Video Baby Monitor
Jer did a lot of research on baby monitors and claims this has the best product reviews and after using it, I'm hooked! Talk about peace of mind… being able to watch my little guy sleep and even zoom in to see him breathe has been so comforting! I also love that I can talk to Dylan and play music through it.
Graco Pack n' Play with Napper & Changer
I know I featured this in my baby organizing post, but this has seriously become the downstairs "baby station". It's where we change him and store burp clothes, blankets, the diaper bag, etc. It's been so nice to have one spot downstairs where we store all his stuff!
Ok… enough of my favorites, what baby products are you loving?!
My Birth Story
Disclaimer: Yes, this post title accurately reflects its contents (aka: we're talking about a topic that involves my va-jay-jay) So if that's awkward for you or if you're a guy friend/co-worker please don't read this
I'm back! Well… kind of. I'm still in a bit of survival mode as we are no where near sleeping through the night, but I think I'm finally starting to adapt. Thank you guys so much for the sweet messages and comments and a special thank you for all of the advice you provided along the way – it was used and definitely appreciated.
Over the past few weeks I also got several messages asking for new mama tips that I've picked up along the away and for my birth story. It may take a few weeks but I've got several posts in the works that answer pretty much everyone's questions and I'm starting a new blog tab to archive it all (come back soon to check it out!) I'll start with my birth story since I loved reading these before Dylan because I really think they helped prepare me a little for what was about to go down. Although everyone's different, here's the story of how baby Dylan made it out the va-jay-jay:
So ever since we got pregnant I had a feeling Dylan was going to be a June baby. His due date was July 4, but I just had one of those deep down feelings he wasn't going to make it that far… and only partially because I was constantly fattening him up with cheeseburgers and milkshakes. So on Saturday, June 30, I went to bed a little bummed only to stand up minutes later to my water breaking. And "breaking" is such an understatement… it actually busted, exploded, gushed. It was a moment of "I just totally peed myself, wait.. that's a lot of pee and I didn't even have to pee… oh snap, that's not pee, I'm having a baby… oh wait please don't come out in the toilet like they do on TV!". So I immediately called the after hours line of my OB to let the hospital know we were coming, threw our stuff in the car, and kissed Bo goodbye, promising to bring him home a baby brother. And then as soon as we got into the car, the contractions began. For the past few weeks of false labor pains I kept telling my friends how much I hated the saying "when it's real labor, you'll just know!" but it's so true. In my experience, you can't walk and you can't talk through them. You can walk/talk between them, but not during them. They hurt like a mother trucker.
Ok, so picture what happens next in fast forward as it's just pretty standard stuff: Got to the hospital, filled out paperwork with a dumb receptionist while having contractions, then went into a triage room where they realized I was telling the truth about my water braking, hence the lovely amniotic fluid dripping down my leg. Then I was taken to the birthing room where I got my IV and this dreadful belly monitor strapped to me. HATED the belly monitor, mostly because it was super tight on my contracting belly but also because it didn't really work and wasn't giving me credit for the contractions I was having.. I'm not talking about a gold star but a pat on the back for doing this cave woman style for a bit would be nice!
So my plan all along was to get an epidural as soon as labor started. Hell, I would have gotten one in the car ride over if that was an option.. and as much of the stuff as my body could take. I'm talking pain free people. Unfortunately, that didn't happen for me since the doctor on staff was caught up with the woman in the next room screaming at the top of her lungs. So I waited and waited and waited. Two hours later I was 4 cm dilated and 90% effaced AND finally got the epidural. I was pretty nervous about getting it, but it was literally a little bee sting and felt a million times better than the contractions or the IV did. The only bad part of the epidural was the shakes. Oh the shakes… I wasn't prepared at all for my entire upper body to shake uncontrollably and I think it totally scared my mom and husband, who watched this whole process as if I was the Discovery channel.
So after the epidural, the nurse left for a while and said, "ok, now you just gotta hang out. Hit this button if you're in any more pain". I'll totally admit that my pain tolerance sucks and even with the slightest pain, I hit the button. So around 10 button hits and 2 hours later, I felt a sudden urge to push and more "water" running down my legs. The nurse, who I think totally underestimated these birthing hips left us for a while and seemed very surprised when she returned to find me 9 cm dilated and fully effaced, aka: time to push that bambino outta there.
I guess because of the movies, I always imagined using stirrups to brace myself while I pushed, not my nurse holding one leg and my husband holding the other. It was awkward but after about an hour I had the process down: every time I felt a contraction coming on (and the stupid belly monitor confirmed it) "my birthing team" grabbed a leg and a foot and I pushed 3 times for 10 seconds. This continued about every 3-5 minutes for an hour. Then the scariness started – I started contracting every 1 minute and Dylan's heart rate significantly dropped and the entire room panicked and my nurse picked up the phone (later to find out she was ordering an emergency c-section). The doctor rushed in and ordered the nurse to give me a shot of something to slow the contractions and several people flipped me on all fours (think yoga downward dog). My hair was covering my eyes so I had no idea what was happening as I couldn't read facial expressions, but as soon as I was able to see Jer's face, I knew it wasn't good. He was straight up flipping out. A few minutes later they flipped me back on my back and Dylan's heart rate was back around 150. Whatever they did worked and we continued to push and push and push. Finally 3 hours later the new doctor (I think the Dr. shift change totally screwed me here!) decided to perform an episiotomy. I was able to watch the entire birth process in the mirror across from me (which I totally recommend for a medicated birth, so that you can gauge your pushes) but I just couldn't watch this part. Then there was a snip (which I never felt) and then I was told to push really hard. So I closed my eyes, held my breath, clinched my fists and pushed with everything I had. What happens next is something I'll never forget so long as I live – the moment they put my sweet baby boy on my belly and he looked up at me. Every parent talks about the love they have for their child but it's truly impossible for words to explain this love. It's like no other and by far the most amazing feeling in the world.
So that's the story of how my sweet Dylan made his grand entrance!
My postpartum healing story is lots shorter. I followed my doctor and nurses advice to a T and healed my episiotomy and third degree tear in about 2-3 weeks. Every potty I used an epi spray bottle, New Mama Bottom Spray, Tucks and Epifoam. This is literally a breath of fresh air for your lady parts – def def def recommend all three.The day we left the hospital I asked my nurse for extra pads, undies and tucks and she totally hooked a sista up! Trust me, you're paying for it, so take everything you can – diapers, wipes, soap and those plastic buckets for storing it all! |
So all in all what has surprised me the most about this journey is that the birthing process has honestly been the easiest part. Breastfeeding, sleep schedules, fevers and a screaming baby are way harder! Working on a few posts to share all this new mama drama with you soon!

Lanigan rules Independence for WoO Late Model victoryBy Series PR Darrell Lanigan scored his tenth World of Outlaws Late Model series victoyr of the season Thursday night at Independence Motor Speedway. / Photo: Steve Schnars
INDEPENDENCE, IA Darrell Lanigan is fast at most all of the tracks on the World of Outlaws Late Model Series schedule, but he may be best at Independence Motor Speedway in Independence, IA.
Lanigan, the two-time WoO LMS champion and current series points leader, claimed Independences WoO LMS event for the third straight year Thursday night, topping Frank Heckenast, Jr. of Frankfort, IL, at the 3/8-mile oval to earn $10,650 for his 10th WoO LMS victory of the season. The second-starting Lanigan, 44, of Union, KY, led every lap of the 50-lap race to extend his lead atop the national tours all-time wins list with his 63rd-career WoO LMS A-Main victory. Lanigans self-designed Club 29 Race Car crossed the finish line 3.2 seconds ahead of Heckenast, who also drove a Club 29 car in an event slowed by a single caution on lap 18. Rick Eckert of York, PA, advanced from sixth to finish third in the Rocket Chassis house car. Third-starting Tim McCreadie of Watertown, NY, used a high-side charge to move his Rocket Chassis to second early in the race before fading back to fourth at the finish. Billy Moyer of Batesville, AR, finished fifth in his Longhorn Chassis. Starting from the outside of the front row, Lanigan pulled ahead of Heckenast on the start of the 50-lap race and used the middle groove of the racetrack to quickly build a comfortable lead on the low-running Heckenast. The high-running McCreadie briefly closed in on Lanigan when he took second around lap 10, but he faded following the lap 18 restart. The resurgent Heckenast pressured Lanigan as the leaders raced through traffic around races halfway point, but Lanigans superior experience showed as he knifed his way through traffic and pulled away in the second half of the race. Hes got a good car and hes definitely coming on here at the end of the year, Lanigan said of Heckenast. I never did see his nose there, but I had a guy on the backstretch giving my signals. He gave me a big signal there at the end, so I just kinda bided my time with those lapped car. Heckenast, who switched to a Club 29 car in late June, fell short of claiming his first career WoO LMS victory, but the 26-year-old driver strengthened his command of the WoO LMS Rookie of the Year chase with his solid performance. Everything went our way and we had a pretty good night, said Heckenast, who recorded his first top-five of the season in a WoO LMS A-Main. Darrell, hes got a lot of experience racing in traffic and being out front. I dont have the confidence just yet to move around on the racetrack. He was so much better through traffic, so hed get out on me. But after the restart ... my car was really good. I hung with him there for a while and didnt wanna show him everything. But hes so good, he normally gets faster from lap 40 to 50. The third-place finish leaves Eckert still looking for first WoO LMS victory of the season, but the 2011 series champion was pleased with his teams progress. Its not from lack of effort because weve been working hard to get there, Eckert said of the frustration of his current winless streak. We couldnt race by them tonight, but we were pretty close. Well take that. The guys have been working real hard and giving me a good car. Tonight was about as good as weve got. We had a really decent car, so I think we can work from that.

I don't think inducing vomiting is as common as it used to be. I know activated charcoal is a common remedy, since it absorbs the toxins in the stomach.
I knew this guy who got alcohol poisoning. His girlfriend found him passed out in front of his frat house. She took him to the hospital, and they ended up pumping his stomach, but they gave him charcoal to absorb as much of the alcohol as they could before they did the pumping. He was lucky. He was turning blue by the time they got to the ER. The doctor said if they had waited another 30 minutes, he would have been gone.

In May 2014, a small ROM team travelled to Newfoundland to salvage a Blue Whale that had washed ashore. This unfortunate event presents an unprecedented opportunity to study one of the more endangered species of marine mammals---blue whales are listed as endangered under Schedule 1 of the federal Species at Risk Act.

Exclusive! 93-96 points Robert Parker: "Michel Rolland and his wife, Dany, decided to take only the finest parcels of their vineyard to make Bon Pasteur, thus cutting production dramatically. From this exceptional vintage in Pomerol (with its low yields), the result appears to be the finest Bon Pasteur since the 1982. Fermented completely in small barrels, a painstakingly laborious task, the use of indigenous yeasts, and a prolonged maceration of 40-60 days has resulted in a wine possessing extraordinarily dense fruit, an inky/ruby/purple color, sweet tannin, and sumptuous aromatic and flavor profiles. Probably the most complete and potentially complex and concentrated Bon Pasteur ever made, it offers sweet berry, mocha, caramel, and flowery characteristics, gentle but substantial tannins, and sensational concentration. There is no hint of aggressiveness. Over-maturity of the grapes was impossible to achieve in this vintage, and the 2008 represents the maximum expression I suspect this estate is capable of achieving. Bravo! It should drink well young, but last for three decades." (04/09) 91-93 points Wine Enthusiast: "Consultant Michel Rolland's family estate has produced a wine that is elegant, balancing richness and sweet fruits. The tannins are spicy, forward, and dense but, overall, this is a well balanced wine."

Glass and Bandages"Ow! John, that hurt!" Sherlock yelled and whined at John.So this is what it had come to, Sherlock thought bitterly. The world's only consulting detective, and one of its most brilliant inhabitants, reduced to a whinging, screaming child, just because of a few injuries. Specifically, glass in his feet. He felt so pathetic and weak.John eyed him at these words, slight amusement etched into his raised eyebrow and subtle grin as he pulled another shard of glass from his friend's right foot (luckily, his left one had gone unscathed). He had been doing this for nearly an hour, and it hadn't been a pleasant affair for either one of them, he could tell you that much. Let's just say that picking glass out of his friend's dirty and bloody foot was not exactly his idea of a satisfying Saturday morning. And as if doing this wasn't unpleasant enough, every time he had removed a piece, it had always either resulted in Sherlock clenching his teeth, fists, or jaw, crying out in pain, yelli
BBC Sherlock AU: BohemienParis is indeed splendid. Doctor John Watson thought to himself as he was strolling on a boulevard right next to the Seine. Weather was certainly more pleasant here than in England all sunny, with occasional white cloud puffs blowing across the blue sky.John was really glad that he had accepted an invitation to a medical conference, which took place in the capital of France two days ago, and decided to stay in the city for a whole week. A well-deserved vacation, he repeated inwardly with satisfaction. And the hotel was just marvellous.He glanced mildly intrigued at bookstalls lined up on both sides of the path, but he brought himself to heel and averted his gaze. He wasn't here to browse through musty novels, his purpose was far more important. Or so he hoped, filled with doubt.It was still relatively early, so the gas lanterns weren't lit. John, however, wished that the darkness could come and engulf him, hiding from prying eyes of other people. As a doctor and a gent
Johnlock: To The Opera!To The Opera!Sherlock/John fluff"You've been to the Opera?"John tilted his head back to look at Sherlock upside-down- sneaking a rather indecent stare at Sherlock's trousers. "That's random. No, I haven't actually."Sherlock paused mid-stride, staring down at him incredulously. "Never?"John shrugged. "Never, not once in my life."Sherlock huffed in annoyance. "Then we shall remedy that tonight.""Oh?" John perked, sitting up with an eager smile. He chuckled when Sherlock shoved his legs aside, pilfering under and around the sofa cushions until he finally withdrew two slips of paper. Sherlock handed him one with a flourish."Here's your ticket. I'll meet you there in two hours.""Wait- What?" John frowned, pursing his lips. "I thought the whole point of taking me to the Opera was, you know, taking me to-,""I'll meet you there," Sherlock repeated with a mysterious smile.John sputtered a question, but Sherlock bounced out the room and down the stairs, the slam of the f
Always Look at the Hands"Always look at the hands first, John."That's what he had told him once. He didn't know if John had paid any attention to it, but it was one of his sure-fire methods of deduction. After observing one's hands, you were then to examine the cuffs of their clothing, their trousers, and then the trainers or boots.One quiet night at Baker Street, John had been lying on the couch reading, but only after an hour or so had dozed off and the book had slumped onto his chest. Sherlock had come into the room, looking for something, but he lost the thought (a rare occurrence for him) when he saw John. Looking so peaceful. He knew that everyone looked peaceful when they slept, but still, he couldn't help but walk over to the couch and just look at him, and after a few minutes, he kneeled beside him to look closer. He took in everything. The way John's breath was deep and how his chest rose and fell, how his hands still held the book, how every once in a while he would swallow and take a de
SH: HeadspaceHeadspaceSherlock/John semi-fluffWarning: violence references (crime scene)"There's something not missing!"John blinked, sharing a look of surprise with Lestrade. As odd as most of Sherlock's outbursts were, that was one of the strangest. At least in the last week or so.Sherlock was pacing madly, hands fluttering and grasping at the empty air. John grimaced as he noted the red smears his feet left on the plastic path someone had laid down. Gore and blood lined the walls, even some clumps dripping obscenely from the ceiling, but the filth didn't bother Sherlock.Nor him, really. Which spoke volumes about them both. Even Lestrade was uneasy as he waited for Sherlock's brilliant deduction and next course of action, refusing to move more than a few feet from John."What's he going on about?"John chuckled, digging his hands into his pockets and shrugging. "I don't think we want to know.""Probably right-,""Shut up!" Sherlock snarled, whirling and glarin
You Just Can't Without a Heart"I don't even know where to begin..." John started, pacing the room in front of Sherlock, who was sitting in his arm chair, legs pulled to his chest and his eyes trained on John. "...I mean... You left for a week! I didn't know where in bloody hell you were and I was worried sick! I though someone had you, or worse, I thought you were dead!""John..." Sherlock started, his voice low and almost quiet. It was so uncharacteristically like Sherlock to be quiet."Stop," John cut him off, holding his hand out to stop Sherlock. "Can you just tell me where you've -been-?!"Sherlock shook his head, looking down at the floor."And why -not-, Sherlock?" John asked, stopping in front of him and crossing his arms, looking at Sherlock down his nose."Because, John, I just.... Just can't..." Sherlock said slowly, standing and walking over to John, placing a hand on his arm and getting closer. "Can you understand.""N-no! I c-can't!" John forced out, shoving the rapid heart rate and struggled breathin

School's case against builder to go to trial
SAN LUIS — After three winters in which students donned hats and coats in the classroom, the Centennial RE-1 School District wants the builders of its 3-year-old school building to bring the kids in from the cold.
The school district is set to go to trial next month over a lawsuit in which it alleges, among other claims, that Denver-based architectural firm SlaterPaull and subcontractor ME Group installed an improperly designed geothermal heating system at the school.
The school district alleges ME Group designed a system more suited to cooling the building, despite winter conditions in San Luis that commonly see students report to school when temperatures are below zero.
It has not sought a specific amount in damages.

TALOSS: Three-Dimensional Advanced Localization Observation Submarine Software
A flexible, modularized, 3-D data fusion visualization system has widespread applicability for both military and civilian applications. Under the sponsorship of the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, located in Newport, Rhode Island, has created such a system for the visualization and integration of the submarine undersea battlespace. This system, TALOSS, has been designed to integrate a wide variety of the databases, both civilian and military. Because the software is modularized and written to run under Linux, it has the potential for transition as an open-source rendering and data fusion engine.
The ultimate aim of the project, funding permitting, is to develop a completely modularized TALOSS toolkit, unclassified portions of which will be made available for civilian use as open-source software. There are two primary motivations for this release: 1) the software was developed with public funds and should be made available to the general public if national security is not compromised, and 2) by making the unclassified portion of the software available, it is hoped that improvements in its operation by the Open Source community can be incorporated into the classified portion of the software enhancing its operation.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Long time collaborators in eco-design, Connie Lam and Michael Sedlacek are heading to BKLYN Designs 2013 for another round of local, kid-friendly design. And although they've been a little quiet about their new products, if their past furnishings are anything to go by, we can almost guarantee they will involve some recycled materials, maybe some steel and stainless glass, and a whole lot of color and innovation.
Some of our favorite designs from past collections include the rolled steel lounger that has a bright cushion of eco-felt that is made from recycled plastic. We are also big fans of their chic but sturdy tables topped with slate, glass and other innovative materials. The deer head lamp is a perennial favorite, so keep an eye out for that if you want a cool conversation starter to brighten up your home, and their bubble screen and mirror are striking too.

Teenagers and sexting: Studies aim to reveal frequency, behavior
(Read article summary)Teenagers and sexting is an increasing concern for parents and teachers, and recent studies are aimed at revealing the frequency and behavior involved. It is time for parents to discuss the issue (and appropriate digital media sharing) with their kids, says our guest blogger.
A new study about teenagers and sexting, which focused on a single high school, found that "nearly 20 percent reported they had ever sent a sexually explicit image of themselves via cell phone, while almost twice as many reported that they had ever received a sexually explicit picture via cell phone and, of these, over 25 percent indicated that they had forwarded such a picture to others." The authors, researchers at the University of Utah, reported on the study in a recent article in the Archives of Sexual Behavior.
Any percentage is too high, but I hope parents who read reports like this remember that the vast majority of young people are smart about digital media sharing.
With the permission of school officials and the students' parents, the authors surveyed 606 students representing 98 percent of the available student body at a private high school in the southwest United States. They wrote that "less than 1% of parents declined to have their child participate, and all but two students whose parents permitted their participation did so."

Just wondering... Is Naomi Wolf Working for the NSA?
By Dave Lindorff
I hate to do this, but I feel obligated to share, as the story unfolds, my creeping concern that the writer Naomi Wolf is not whom she purports to be, and that her motive in writing an article on her public Facebook page speculating about whether National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden might actually be still working for the NSA, could be to support the government's effort to destroy him.
Snowden's Gambit: Expose NSA Domestic Spying Operation, Hold Global Spying Program in Reserve
By Dave Lindorff
It's a pretty sad spectacle watching the US Congress toading up to the National Security Agency. With the exception of a few stalwarts like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and to a lesser extent Ron Wyden (D-OR), most of the talk in the halls of Congress is about how to keep the army of Washington private contractors from accessing too many of the government's secrets (which need to be protected by government employees!), and about whether to try NSA whistleblower Ed Snowden for treason.
He was 29
Many years later they found him in a monastery in China.
He agreed to be interviewed.
He looked happy in the eyes.
He said,
"One question."
So I said,
"Hong Kong, June 2013.
You were 29.
You said your greatest fear was
That nothing would change,
That the government would continue to grant itself
Unilateral powers.
Every time there is a new leader,
'They'll flip the switch', you said...
A whistleblower holding all the cards: Why did Edward Snowden go to Hong Kong?
By Dave Lindorff
A lot of people in the US media are asking why America's most famous whistleblower, 29-year old Edward Snowden, hied himself off to the city state of Hong Kong, a wholly owned subsidiary of the People's Republic of China, to seek at least temporary refuge.
Hong Kong has an extradition treaty with the US, they say. And as for China, which controls the international affairs of its Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, while granting it local autonomy to govern its domestic affairs, its leaders "may not want to irritate the US" at a time when the Chinese economy is stumbling.
These people don't have much understanding of either Hong Kong or of China.

Obama, Clapper and most of Congress are full of s**t: Where's the Bullshit Repellent When We Need It?
By Dave Lindorff
Many years ago, back in 1975 when Gerald Ford was the nation's default president, I spent a summer living in the home of two friends, both important anti-war academics, who had two young children. One of their kids, Jacob, who was about seven at the time and smart as a whip, had been given the gift of a can of compressed air which carried a label claiming it contained a miracle product called "Bullshit Repellent." Whenever someone in the house -- family member, me, or some other guest -- would say something ridiculous, stupid or false, someone would inevitably yell out, "Jacob, get the Bullshit Repellent!" Jacob would come running in enthusiastically with the can and would spray it proudly at whoever was uttering the BS.
I sure wish I had Jacob and his spray can right now. I simply cannot believe the BS being spouted by President Obama, National Security Agency Director James Clapper, or the members of Congress who should be demanding their heads for the unprecedented surveillance and spying on all Americans that has just been exposed.

Companies use a progressive tool in very non-progressive ways: The "Cloudy" Skies Corporations Want to Sell You

It's the nature of the shallow, consumer-driven, dream-drunken culture our society tries to impose on us that we popularly adopt terms without knowing what they mean and, more often than not, they don't mean much of anything.
Such is the case with "the Cloud".
Most people who use computers believe they know what it is except that everyone seems to have a different definition. From a satellite-based storage system to a virtually invisible network to a collection of hard drives all over the world to a new form of storage that doesn't require computers to...whatever new definition pops up this week. In any case, you have heard of the "cloud" and probably aren't sure what it really is.
Forget droning on about changed policies: President Obama will have to Prove He's a Changed Man
By Dave Lindorff
Some on the left are writing hopefully these days that perhaps President Obama has finally realized he needs to back off on his warlike posture on drones and the War on Terror. They are seeing his talk about scaling back the use of drone killing machines and of reconsidering or "investigating" recent Justice Department attacks on the press and its use of leaks by government whistle-blowers, as a sign that he is perhaps regaining his constitutional senses and perhaps even "moving" to the left to rebuild support he has been losing in droves.

Legacy of European Colonialism Liberating Women With Bombs and Bags of Cash
By John Grant

The Marathon Bombings, Privacy and the Question "Why?"
By Alfredo Lopez
One thing is clear amidst the shower of confusion and contradiction that bathes the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing: the legal and technological structure of a police state is in place and can be quickly activated. As if on cue, while the hunt for the bombers was ongoing, the House of Representatives obligingly enhanced that police state capability by passing the draconian Cyber Intelligence and Protection Act (CIPA). If approved by the Senate and signed by the President, it will greatly expand the government's intrusion into all our lives.

Brief Summary
The pufferfish known as the Torafugu (Takifugu rubripes) has at least two claims to fame. First, the genome of this species was the first vertebrate genome to be sequenced and made publicly available after the human genome. Pufferfish genomes are the smallest known for vertebrates, only around 400 Mb (about an eighth the size of the human genome). Pufferfishes were suggested as appealing "model" vertebrates for genomic analysis in part because, although compact, their genomes have essentially the same genes and regulatory sequences as other vertebrates, so less effort is needed to obtain a comparable amount of information (Brenner et al. 1993). Analysis of the Torafugu genome together with the genomes of another pufferfish,Tetraodon nigroviridis, and other vertebrates have provided new insights into the evolution of vertebrates (e.g., Jaillon et al. 2004). For technical information about the Torafugu genome, visit the Fugu Genome Project webpage.
Torafugus's second claim to fame is as a dangerous delicacy in Japan. Fugu is a Japanese dish prepared in various ways from certain species of pufferfish (Takifugu, Lagocephalus, Sphoeroides) or porcupinefish (Diodon)--but especialy from Ta. rubripes. What makes fugu so exciting and sets it apart from other fish sold in restaurants is that it is potentially deadly. Fugu can contain lethal amounts of the poison tetrodotoxin (TTX) in its organs, especially the liver and ovaries, and also in the skin. The poison paralyzes the muscles while the victim remains fully conscious until eventually dying from asphyxiation. There is no known antidote. Even miniscule traces of the toxin are said to cause the diner's lips to go numb and turn his mind to the possibility that this could be his last meal. With the stakes so high, chefs must be highly trained to prepare fugu and it is not widely available outside Japan—in fact, it is illegal to sell it in most or all of the European Union and its preparation and sale is tightly regulated in the United States.
Different pufferfish species and different body parts vary substantially in their TTX concentration (Noguchi and Arakawa 2008). Some recent research has indicated that the toxin may be derived from TTX-laden bacteria working their way up the food chain to the pufferfish, making safe-to-eat farmed fugu a possibility (e.g., see Noguchi and Arakawa 2008; Yuan et al. 2011). Some purists, predictably, insist that the taste of farmed fugu cannot compare with the sublime flavor of the wild fish—or could it just be the lack of adrenaline in the diner's body that tames the flavor of poison-free farmed fugu? Food writer Adam Platt's 2008 account of dining on fugu in Tokyo can be read in New York Magazine.
The genus Takifugu includes around two dozen species, all of which are found in marine waters around China, Korea, and Japan, although additional morphological and genetic analyses are needed to resolve some taxonomic questions (e.g., see Song et al 2001; Reza et al 2008). Yamanoue et al. (2008) used whole mitochondrial genome sequences from 15 Takifugu species and eight other tetraodontid pufferfishes (plus two outgroups.) to investigate phylogenetics relationships within this Takifugu. Their analyses indicated that Takifugu species are very closely related to each other and speciated over a relatively short period in the limited area of the East Asian marine waters.

Takifugu rubripes
Takifugu rubripes (the Japanese puffer, Tiger puffer, or torafugu (Japanese: 虎河豚), also known as Fugu rubripes) is a pufferfish in the genus Takifugu. A feature of this species is that it has a very small genome, which is used as a 'reference' for identifying genes and other elements in human and other vertebrate genomes. The genome was published in 2002,[1] the first vertebrate genome to be made publicly available after the human genome.
Although often known in the genomics literature as Fugu rubripes, the genus Fugu is a synonym of Takifugu,[2] hence the name Takifugu rubripes is currently used for this fish.

You understand. You sense my apprehension. You lovingly reassure me. And you are so passionate about it.
I am not wrong, you tell me. The people running the country are crazy. I am not broken, the system is. I am not the joke, the government is. I am not a worthless loser, the corporate CEOs are. They are a plague of selfish locusts upon the Earth.
You work me like this for twenty minutes. When you finish, I'm spent. My eyes are full of tears. My body is relaxed and a little sore. It takes almost an hour for my worry to return—where the hell am I going to get this month's rent?
So, thank you, John Stewart, for your service. Thank you for making me feel human again, at least for a moment. If there is anything I can do to repay you—take my wife, please...see, I can write jokes—please contact me at the email below.
Your Brother in Awareness,

Now, here it is, your moment of Zen.
But I do give JStew. his props. He runs crazy interviewer circles around that old biddy Barbara Walters if you ask me.
Rated for amusing moment of zen: crazy cat ball-induced rapture in foreground, job loss conversation in the back. Oh to be a cat in today's economy.

quote:When I analyze a player a perfect score or (as good as it gets) would have to qualify as someone who can do everything at the plate.

quote:LSU baseball fans are the best LSU fans.
quote:It goes to the old dichotomy of necessary and sufficient.
quote:LSU badminton fans are the most knowledgeable LSU fans imho.
quote:That's like saying "to qualify for a perfect score for fielding, a player would have to be able to do everything defensively, including making his throws."
quote:But then why have the categories of hitting power and arm strength in the first place? Are they different categories, or are they just subcategories? How would you have rated Wade Boggs or Tony Gwinn in the hitting category?
